民数记 11
1 众百姓发怨言，他们的恶语达到耶和华的耳中。耶和华听见了就怒气发作，使火在他们中间焚烧，直烧到营的边界。
And the people murmured sinfully before the Lord; and the Lord heard [them] and was very angry; and fire was kindled among them from the Lord, and devoured a part of the camp.
2 百姓向摩西哀求，摩西祈求耶和华，火就熄了。
And the people cried to Moses: and Moses prayed to the Lord, and the fire was quenched.
3 那地方便叫做他备拉，因为耶和华的火烧在他们中间。
And the name of that place was called Burning; for a fire was kindled among them from the Lord.
4 他们中间的闲杂人大起贪欲的心；以色列人又哭号说：“谁给我们肉吃呢？
And the mixed multitude among them lusted exceedingly; and they and the children of Israel sat down and wept and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
5 我们记得，在埃及的时候不花钱就吃鱼，也记得有黄瓜、西瓜、韭菜、葱、蒜。
We remember the fish, which we ate in Egypt freely; and the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the garlic, and the onions.
6 现在我们的心血枯竭了，除这吗哪以外，在我们眼前并没有别的东西。”
But now our soul is dried up; our eyes [turn] to nothing but to the manna.
7 这吗哪仿佛芫荽子，又好像珍珠。
And the manna is as coriander seed, and the appearance of it the appearance of hoar-frost.
8 百姓周围行走，把吗哪收起来，或用磨推，或用臼捣，煮在锅中，又做成饼，滋味好像新油。
And the people went through the field, and gathered, and ground it in the mill, or pounded it in a mortar, and baked it in a pan, and made cakes of it; and the sweetness of it was as the taste [of] wafer made with oil.
9 夜间露水降在营中，吗哪也随着降下。）
And when the dew came upon the camp by night, the manna came down upon it.
10 摩西听见百姓各在各家的帐棚门口哭号。耶和华的怒气便大发作，摩西就不喜悦。
And Moses heard them weeping by their families, every one in his door: and the Lord was very angry; and the thing was evil in the sight of Moses.
11 摩西对耶和华说：“你为何苦待仆人？我为何不在你眼前蒙恩，竟把这管理百姓的重任加在我身上呢？
And Moses said to the Lord, Why hast thou afflicted thy servant, and why have I not found grace in thy sight, that thou shouldest lay the weight of this people upon me?
12 这百姓岂是我怀的胎，岂是我生下来的呢？你竟对我说：‘把他们抱在怀里，如养育之父抱吃奶的孩子，直抱到你起誓应许给他们祖宗的地去。’
Have I conceived all this people, or have I born them? that thou sayest to me, Take them into thy bosom, as a nurse would take her suckling, into the land which thou swarest to their fathers?
13 我从哪里得肉给这百姓吃呢？他们都向我哭号说：‘你给我们肉吃吧！’
Whence have I flesh to give to all this people? for they weep to me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.
14 管理这百姓的责任太重了，我独自担当不起。
I shall not be able to bear this people alone, for this thing is too heavy for me.
15 你这样待我，我若在你眼前蒙恩，求你立时将我杀了，不叫我见自己的苦情。”
And if thou doest thus to me, slay me utterly, if I have found favour with thee, that I may not see my affliction.
16 耶和华对摩西说：“你从以色列的长老中招聚七十个人，就是你所知道作百姓的长老和官长的，到我这里来，领他们到会幕前，使他们和你一同站立。
And the Lord said to Moses, Gather me seventy men from the elders of Israel, whom thou thyself knowest that they are the elders of the people, and their scribes; and thou shalt bring them to the tabernacle of witness, and they shall stand there with thee.
17 我要在那里降临，与你说话，也要把降于你身上的灵分赐他们，他们就和你同当这管百姓的重任，免得你独自担当。
And I will go down, and speak there with thee; and I will take of the spirit that is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear together with thee the burden of the people, and thou shalt not bear them alone.
18 又要对百姓说：‘你们应当自洁，预备明天吃肉，因为你们哭号说：谁给我们肉吃！我们在埃及很好。这声音达到了耶和华的耳中，所以他必给你们肉吃。
And to the people thou shalt say, Purify yourselves for the morrow, and ye shall eat flesh; for ye wept before the Lord, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt: and the Lord shall allow you to eat flesh, and ye shall eat flesh.
19 你们不止吃一天、两天、五天、十天、二十天，
Ye shall not eat one day, nor two, nor five days, nor ten days, nor twenty days;
20 要吃一个整月，甚至肉从你们鼻孔里喷出来，使你们厌恶了，因为你们厌弃住在你们中间的耶和华，在他面前哭号说：我们为何出了埃及呢！’”
ye shall eat for a full month, until [the flesh] come out at your nostrils; and it shall be nausea to you, because ye disobeyed the Lord, who is among you, and wept before him, saying, What had we to do to come out of Egypt?
21 摩西对耶和华说：“这与我同住的百姓、步行的男人有六十万，你还说：‘我要把肉给他们，使他们可以吃一个整月。’
And Moses said, The people among whom I am are six hundred thousand footmen; and thou saidst, I will give them flesh to eat, and they shall eat a whole month.
22 难道给他们宰了羊群牛群，或是把海中所有的鱼都聚了来，就够他们吃吗？”
Shall sheep and oxen be slain for them, and shall it suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, and shall it suffice them?
23 耶和华对摩西说：“耶和华的膀臂岂是缩短了吗？现在要看我的话向你应验不应验。”
And the Lord said to Moses, Shall not the hand of the Lord be fully sufficient? now shalt thou know whether my word shall come to pass to thee or not.
24 摩西出去，将耶和华的话告诉百姓，又招聚百姓的长老中七十个人来，使他们站在会幕的四围。
And Moses went out, and spoke the words of the Lord to the people; and he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people, and he set them round about the tabernacle.
25 耶和华在云中降临，对摩西说话，把降与他身上的灵分赐那七十个长老。灵停在他们身上的时候，他们就受感说话，以后却没有再说。
And the Lord came down in a cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and put it upon the seventy men that were elders; and when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied and ceased.
26 但有两个人仍在营里，一个名叫伊利达，一个名叫米达。他们本是在那些被录的人中，却没有到会幕那里去。灵停在他们身上，他们就在营里说预言。
And there were two men left in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Modad; and the spirit rested upon them, and these were of the number of them that were enrolled, but they did not come to the tabernacle; and they prophesied in the camp.
27 有个少年人跑来告诉摩西说：“伊利达、米达在营里说预言。”
And a young man ran and told Moses, and spoke, saying, Eldad and Modad prophesy in the camp.
28 摩西的帮手，嫩的儿子约书亚，就是摩西所拣选的一个人，说：“请我主摩西禁止他们。”
And Joshua the son of Naue, who attended on Moses, the chosen one, said, [My] lord Moses, forbid them.
29 摩西对他说：“你为我的缘故嫉妒人吗？惟愿耶和华的百姓都受感说话！愿耶和华把他的灵降在他们身上！”
And Moses said to him, Art thou jealous on my account? and would that all the Lord's people were prophets; whenever the Lord shall put his spirit upon them.
30 于是，摩西和以色列的长老都回到营里去。
And Moses departed into the camp, himself and the elders of Israel.
31 有风从耶和华那里刮起，把鹌鹑由海面刮来，飞散在营边和营的四围；这边约有一天的路程，那边约有一天的路程，离地面约有二肘。
And there went forth a wind from the Lord, and brought quails over from the sea; and it brought them down upon the camp a day's journey on this side, and a day's journey on that side, round about the camp, as it were two cubits from the earth.
32 百姓起来，终日终夜，并次日一整天，捕取鹌鹑；至少的也取了十贺梅珥，为自己摆列在营的四围。
And the people rose up all the day, and all the night, and all the next day, and gathered quails; he that gathered least, gathered ten measures; and they refreshed themselves round about the camp.
33 肉在他们牙齿之间尚未嚼烂，耶和华的怒气就向他们发作，用最重的灾殃击杀了他们。
The flesh was yet between their teeth, before it failed, when the Lord was wroth with the people, and the Lord smote the people with a very great plague.
34 那地方便叫做基博罗·哈他瓦，因为他们在那里葬埋那起贪欲之心的人。
And the name of that place was called the Graves of Lust; for there they buried the people that lusted.
35 百姓从基博罗·哈他瓦走到哈洗录，就住在哈洗录。
The people departed from the Graves of Lust to Aseroth; and the people halted at Aseroth.
