Bilangan 12

¹Miryam serta Harun mengatai Musa berkenaan dengan perempuan Kush yang diambilnya, sebab memang ia telah mengambil seorang perempuan Kush.

¹Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married, for he had married a Cushite woman.

²Kata mereka: "Sungguhkah TUHAN berfirman dengan perantaraan Musa saja? Bukankah dengan perantaraan kita juga Ia berfirman?" Dan kedengaranlah hal itu kepada TUHAN.

²And they said, "Has the LORD indeed spoken only through Moses? Has he not spoken through us also?" And the LORD heard it.

³Adapun Musa ialah seorang yang sangat lembut hatinya, lebih dari setiap manusia yang di atas muka bumi.

³Now the man Moses was very meek, more than all people who were on the face of the earth.

⁴Lalu berfirmanlah TUHAN dengan tiba-tiba kepada Musa, Harun dan Miryam: "Keluarlah kamu bertiga ke Kemah Pertemuan." Maka keluarlah mereka bertiga.

⁴And suddenly the LORD said to Moses and to Aaron and Miriam, "Come out, you three, to the tent of meeting." And the three of them came out.

⁵Lalu turunlah TUHAN dalam tiang awan, dan berdiri di pintu kemah itu, lalu memanggil Harun dan Miryam; maka tampillah mereka keduanya.

⁵And the LORD came down in a pillar of cloud and stood at the entrance of the tent and called Aaron and Miriam, and they both came forward.

⁶Lalu berfirmanlah Ia: "Dengarlah firman-Ku ini. Jika di antara kamu ada seorang nabi, maka Aku, TUHAN menyatakan diri-Ku kepadanya dalam penglihatan, Aku berbicara dengan dia dalam mimpi.

⁶And he said, "Hear my words: If there is a prophet among you, I the LORD make myself known to him in a vision; I speak with him in a dream.

⁷Bukan demikian hamba-Ku Musa, seorang yang setia dalam segenap rumah-Ku.

⁷Not so with my servant Moses. He is faithful in all my house.

⁸Berhadap-hadapan Aku berbicara dengan dia, terus terang, bukan dengan teka-teki, dan ia memandang rupa TUHAN. Mengapakah kamu tidak takut mengatai hamba-Ku Musa?"

⁸With him I speak mouth to mouth, clearly, and not in riddles, and he beholds the form of the LORD. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?"

⁹Sebab itu bangkitlah murka TUHAN terhadap mereka, lalu pergilah Ia.

⁹And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them, and he departed.

¹⁰Dan ketika awan telah naik dari atas kemah, maka tampaklah Miryam kena kusta, putih seperti salju; ketika Harun berpaling kepada Miryam, maka dilihatnya, bahwa dia kena kusta!

¹⁰When the cloud removed from over the tent, behold, Miriam was leprous, like snow. And Aaron turned toward Miriam, and behold, she was leprous.

¹¹Lalu kata Harun kepada Musa: "Ah tuanku, janganlah kiranya timpakan kepada kami dosa ini, yang kami perbuat dalam kebodohan kami.

¹¹And Aaron said to Moses, "Oh, my lord, do not punish us because we have done foolishly and have sinned.

¹²Janganlah kiranya dibiarkan dia sebagai anak gugur, yang pada waktu keluar dari kandungan ibunya sudah setengah busuk dagingnya."

¹²Let her not be as one dead, whose flesh is half eaten away when he comes out of his mother's womb."

¹³Lalu berserulah Musa kepada TUHAN: "Ya Allah, sembuhkanlah kiranya dia."

¹³And Moses cried to the LORD, "O God, please heal her--please."

¹⁴Kemudian berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Musa: "Sekiranya ayahnya meludahi mukanya, tidakkah ia mendapat malu selama tujuh hari? Biarlah dia selama tujuh hari dikucilkan ke luar tempat perkemahan, kemudian bolehlah ia diterima kembali."

¹⁴But the LORD said to Moses, "If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be shamed seven days? Let her be shut outside the camp seven days, and after that she may be brought in again."

¹⁵Jadi dikucilkanlah Miryam ke luar tempat perkemahan tujuh hari lamanya, dan bangsa itu tidak berangkat sebelum Miryam diterima kembali.

¹⁵So Miriam was shut outside the camp seven days, and the people did not set out on the march till Miriam was brought in again.

¹⁶Kemudian berangkatlah mereka dari Hazerot dan berkemah di padang gurun Paran.

¹⁶After that the people set out from Hazeroth, and camped in the wilderness of Paran.
