Brojevi 11
1 I stade narod zlobno mrmljati u Jahvine uši. Kad to ču Jahve, planu gnjevom. Jahvin oganj izbi među njima i spali jedan kraj tabora.
It wasn't long before the people started to complain about how much they were suffering. When the Lord heard what they were saying, he became angry. Fire from the Lord burned them, destroying some on the edge of the camp.
2 Narod zavapi Mojsiju, a Mojsije se pomoli Jahvi i oganj se utiša.
The people cried to Moses for help. He prayed to the Lord and the fire subsided.
3 Ono se mjesto prozva Tabera, jer je Jahvin oganj ondje zaplamtio na njih.
So that place was named Taberah, because the fire from the Lord burned them.
4 Svjetinu koja se oko njih skupila obuzme pohlepa za jelom. Izraelci se opet upuste u jadikovanje govoreći: “Tko će nas nasititi mesom?
A group of troublemakers among them had such intense food cravings they affected the Israelites who started crying again, asking “Who's going to get us some meat to eat?
5 Sjećamo se kako smo u Egiptu jeli badava ribe, krastavaca, dinje, prÓase, luka i češnjaka.
We think back to all the fish we ate in Egypt that didn't cost us anything, as well as the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions, and garlic.
6 Sad nam život vene; nema ničega, osim mÓane, pred našim očima.”
We're fading away here! The only thing we ever see is this manna!”
7 MÓana je bila kao zrno korijandera i nalik na bdelij.
Manna looked like coriander seeds, light in color like gum resin.
8 Narod išao naokolo, skupljao je, a onda tro kamenom na kamenoj ploči ili stÓupao u stÓupi. Kuhao ju je u loncu i od nje pravio kolače. Okus joj bijaše kao okus kolača zgotovljena u ulju.
The people would go out and collect it, grind it up in a mill or crush it in a mortar. Then they would boil it in a pot and make it into flatbread. It tasted like pastries made with the best olive oil.
9 Kad bi se noću spuštala rosa po taborištu, s njome bi se spustila i mÓana.
When the dew came down on the camp at night the manna would come down with it.
10 Mojsije je slušao kako jadikuje narod u svojim obiteljima, svatko na ulazu u svoj šator. Gnjev Jahvin žestoko planu i Mojsije se ražalosti.
Moses heard all the families crying at the entrance to their tents. The Lord became very angry, and Moses was also upset.
11 “Zašto zlostavljaš slugu svoga?” - upravi Mojsije riječ Jahvi. “Zašto nisam stekao milost u tvojim očima kad si na me uprtio teret svega ovog naroda?
He asked the Lord, “Why have you made things so tough for me, your servant? Why are you so unhappy with me that you have placed on me the heavy responsibility for all these people?
12 Zar je od mene potekao sav ovaj narod? Zar sam ga ja rodio, kad veliš: 'Nosi ga u svome krilu, kao što dojilja nosi dojenče, u zemlju što sam je pod zakletvom obećao njihovim očevima!'
Are they my children? Did I give birth to them, so you could tell me, ‘Hold them close to your chest like a nurse carrying a baby’ and take them to the land you promised to give to their forefathers?
13 Odakle meni meso da ga dam svemu ovom puku koji plače oko mene govoreći: 'Daj nam mesa da jedemo!'
Where am I supposed to get meat for all of them? They keep on complaining to me, ‘Get us some meat to eat!’
14 Ja sam ne mogu nositi sav ovaj narod. Preteško je to za me.
I can't go on carrying all these people by myself—it's just too much.
15 Ako ćeš ovako sa mnom postupati, radije me ubij, ako sam stekao milost u tvojim očima, da više ne gledam svoga jada.”
If this is the way you're going to treat me, then please just kill me now so I don't have to face how depressed I've become. Please grant me this one request.”
16 Onda Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Skupi mi sedamdeset muževa između starješina izraelskih za koje znaš da su starješine narodu i njegovi nadglednici. Dovedi ih u Šator sastanka pa neka ondje zauzmu svoja mjesta s tobom.
The Lord told Moses, “Bring before me seventy Israelite elders who you know are repected as leaders by the people Take them to the Tent of Meeting. They will stand there with you.
17 Ja ću sići i ondje s tobom govoriti; uzet ću nešto duha koji je na tebi i stavit ću ga na njih. Tako će s tobom nositi teret naroda da ga ne nosiš sam.
I will come down and talk with you there. I will take some of the Spirit you have and give it to them. They will take some of the responsibility for the people so you won't have to bear it alone.
18 Nadalje, kaži narodu: Za sutra se posvetite i jest ćete mesa, jer ste mrmljali u uši Jahvi govoreći: 'Tko će nas nasititi mesa? U Egiptu nam je bilo dobro.' Jahve će vam, dakle, dati mesa da jedete.
Tell the people: Purify yourselves, for tomorrow you'll have meat to eat, because you were complaining and the Lord heard you saying, ‘Who's going to get us some meat to eat? We were better off in Egypt!’ So the Lord is going to provide you with meat to eat.
19 Nećete ga jesti samo jedan dan, ni dva dana, ni pet dana, ni deset dana, ni dvadeset dana,
You're going to eat it, not for just a day or two, and not for five or ten or twenty days.
20 nego cio mjesec, sve dok vam ne izbije na nosnice i ne ogadi vam se, jer ste odbacili Jahvu koji je među vama mrmljajući pred njim riječima: 'Zašto smo uopće odlazili iz Egipta!'”
You're going to eat it for a whole month until it makes you vomit and it comes out through your nostrils, because you have rejected the Lord who is right here with you, complaining to him by saying, ‘Why on earth did we ever leave Egypt?’”
21 “Naroda u kojemu se nalazim”, odgovori Mojsije, “ima šest stotina tisuća pješaka, a ti kažeš: 'Mesa ću im dati da jedu mjesec dana.'
But Moses replied, “Here I am with 600,000 people and you're telling me, ‘I'm going to give them meat and they'll eat it for a month’?
22 Može li im se naklati sitne i krupne stoke da im dostane? Mogu li im se sve ribe iz mora zgrnuti da im bude dosta?”
Even if all our flocks and herds were slaughtered, would that be enough for them? Even if all the fish in the sea were caught, would that be enough for them?”
23 Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Zar je ruka Jahvina tako kratka? Sad ćeš vidjeti hoće li se obistiniti moja riječ ili neće.”
“Doesn't the Lord have the power to do that?” the Lord responded. “Now you're going to find out whether what I've said will happen or not!”
24 Mojsije izađe i kaza narodu Jahvine riječi. Onda skupi sedamdeset muževa između narodnih starješina i smjesti ih oko Šatora.
Moses went and shared with the people what the Lord said. He summoned seventy elders of the people and had them stand around the tent.
25 Jahve siđe u oblaku i poče s njim govoriti. Zatim uze od duha koji bijaše na njemu i stavi na onu sedamdesetoricu starješina. Kad duh počinu na njima, počeše prorokovati, ali to više nikad ne učiniše.
Then the Lord came down and talked to him. The Lord took some of the Spirit Moses had and gave it to them. They prophesied, but this didn't ever happen again.
26 Dvojica ostadoše u taboru. Jednome je bilo ime Eldad, a drugome Medad. Duh je i na njima počinuo - bili su i oni među upisanima, premda nisu došli u tabor - te počeše u taboru prorokovati.
However, two men named Eldad and Medad had stayed behind in the camp. The Spirit came on them too. (They had been put on the list of the seventy elders, but they hadn't gone to the tent. But they prophesied where they were in the camp anyway.)
27 Neki mladić otrča te javi Mojsiju: “Eldad i Medad”, reče, “prorokuju u taboru!”
A young lad ran and told Moses, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.”
28 Jošua, sin Nunov, koji je posluživao Mojsija od svoje mladosti, prozbori i reče: “Mojsije, gospodaru moj, ušutkaj ih!”
Joshua, son of Nun, who had been Moses' assistant since he was young, reacted, saying, “Moses, my lord, you have to stop them!”
29 Mojsije mu odgovori: “Zar si zavidan zbog mene! Oh, kad bi sav narod Jahvin postao prorok! Kad bi Jahve na njih izlio svoga duha!”
“Are you jealous for my reputation?” Moses replied. “I wish that every one of the Lord's people were prophets and that the Lord would give his Spirit to all of them!”
30 Potom se Mojsije i starješine izraelske vrate u tabor.
Then Moses went back to the camp with the elders of Israel.
31 Tada Jahve zapovjedi te zapuhnu vjetar i nanese prepelice od mora i sasu ih na tabor, na dan hoda i s ove i s one strane tabora, na dva lakta iznad zemlje.
The Lord sent a wind that blew quail in from the sea and deposited them near the camp. They covered the ground to a depth of about two cubits and extended for a day's journey in every direction from the camp.
32 Narod je ustao te je toga cijeloga dana, svu noć i cio sutrašnji dan skupljao prepelice. Onaj tko ih je skupio najmanje imao je deset homera.
All through that day and night, and all through the next day, the people went on collecting the quail. Everyone collected at least ten homers, and they spread them out to dry all around the camp.
33 Zatim ih razastriješe oko tabora. Meso još bijaše među njihovim zubima - još ga nisu prožvakali - kadli planu Jahvin gnjev protiv naroda: Jahve udari narod strašnim pomorom.
But while the people were still biting into the meat, before they even chewed it down, the Lord showed his burning anger against them, killing some of them with a severe disease.
34 Ono se mjesto prozva Kibrot Hataava, jer su ondje pokopali one koji se bijahu polakomili.
They named that place Kibroth-hattaavah, because that was where they buried the people who had these intense food cravings.
35 Iz Kibrot Hataave narod se zaputi u Haserot. I utabori se u Haserotu.
Then they moved on from Kibroth-hattaavah to Hazeroth, where they stayed for some time.
