4 Mosebog 11
1 Og Folket blev som de, der knurre syndig for Herrens Øren; og Herren hørte det, og hans Vrede optændtes, og Herrens Ild brændte iblandt dem og fortærede nogle i det yderste af Lejren.
And it came to pass that as the people complained in a manner displeasing in the ears of the Lord, the Lord heard it, and his anger was kindled, and the fire of the Lord burnt among them, and consumed at the uttermost part of the camp.
2 Da raabte Folket til Mose, og Mose bad til Herren, saa blev Ilden dæmpet.
And the people then cried unto Moses; and Moses prayed unto the Lord, and the fire disappeared.
3 Og han kaldte det samme Steds Navn Thabeera; thi Herrens Ild brændte iblandt dem.
And he called the name of the place Tab'erah; because the fire of the Lord had burnt among them.
4 Og det sammenløbne Folk, som var midt iblandt dem, fik stor Begærlighed; derfor gav ogsaa Israels Børn sig til at græde igen og sagde: Hvo vil give os Kød at æde?
And the mixed multitude that was among them felt a lustful longing: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who will give us flesh to eat?
5 Vi komme i Hu den Fisk, som vi aade for intet i Ægypten, Græskarrene og Melonerne og Porrene og Rødløgene og Hvidløgene;
We remember the fish, which we could eat in Egypt for naught; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic;
6 men nu forsmægter vor Sjæl; thi her er slet intet uden det Man for vore Øjne.
But now our soul is faint: there is nothing at all, only to the manna are our eyes [directed].
7 Men dette Man var som Korianderfrø, og dets Farve var ligesom Bedellions Farve.
But the manna was like coriander-seed, and its color as the color of the bdellium.
8 Folket løb hid og did og sankede og malede det i Møllerne eller stødte det i Morteren og kogte det i Potten og gjorde deraf Kager; og dets Smag var som Oliesaftens Smag.
The people went about and gathered it, and ground it in a mill, or pounded it in a mortar, and boiled it in a pot, or made cakes of it: and its taste was as the taste of cakes mixed with oil.
9 Og naar Duggen faldt over Lejren om Natten, da faldt Man ned derpaa.
And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it.
10 Og Mose hørte Folket græde iblandt deres Slægter, hver i sit Telts Dør; og Herrens Vrede optændtes saare; ogsaa var det ondt for Mose Øjne.
And Moses heard the people weep according to their families, every man at the door of his tent: and the anger of the Lord was kindled greatly; and in the eyes of Moses also was it displeasing.
11 Og Mose sagde til Herren: Hvi handlede du saa ilde med din Tjener? og hvi finder jeg ikke Naade for dine Øjne, og du lægger Byrden af hele dette Folk paa mig?
And Moses said unto the Lord, Wherefore hast thou done evil to thy servant? and wherefore have I not found favor in thy eyes, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?
12 Mon jeg har undfanget alt dette Folk? mon jeg har født det? at du skulde sige til mig: Bær det i din Favn, ligesom en Fosterfader bærer det diende Barn, ind i det Land, som du har tilsvoret dets Fædre.
Was it I who have conceived all this people? or was it I who have begotten them? that thou shouldst say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father beareth the sucking child, unto the land which thou hast sworn unto their fathers?
13 Hvorfra skal jeg tage Kød at give alt dette Folk? thi de græde for mig og sige: Giv os Kød, at vi kunne æde.
Whence shall I obtain flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep around me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.
14 Jeg kan ikke ene bære alt dette Folk; thi det er mig for svart.
I am not able by myself alone to bear all this people, because it is too heavy for me.
15 Og vil du handle saaledes med mig, da slaa mig ihjel, dersom jeg har fundet Naade for dine Øjne, og lad mig ikke se paa min Ulykke.
And if thou wilt thus deal with me, then slay me, I pray thee, at once, if I have found favor in thy eyes: that I may not see my wretchedness.
16 Og Herren sagde til Mose: Forsamle mig halvfjerdsindstyve Mænd af Israels Ældste, om hvilke du ved, at de ere Folkets Ældste og dets Fogeder; og du skal tage dem hen til Forsamlingens Paulun, og der skulle de fremstille sig med dig.
And the Lord said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and its officers; and take them unto the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall stand there with thee.
17 Og jeg vil komme ned og tale med dig der, og jeg vil tage af den Aand, som er paa dig, og lægge paa dem, at de skulle bære paa Folkets Byrde med dig, og du skal ikke ene bære den.
And I will come down and speak with thee there: and I will take some of the spirit which is upon thee, and I will put it upon them; and they shall bear with thee the burden of the people, and thou shalt not bear it by thyself alone.
18 Og til Folket skal du sige: Helliger eder til i Morgen, saa skulle I æde Kød; thi I have grædt for Herrens Øren og sagt: Hvo vil give os Kød at æde? thi det gik os vel i Ægypten; derfor vil Herren give eder Kød, at I skulle æde.
And unto the people shalt thou say, Hold yourselves ready against tomorrow, that ye may eat flesh; for ye have wept in the ears of the Lord, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was better with us in Egypt: thus will the Lord give you flesh, and ye shall eat.
19 I skulle ikke æde een Dag og ej to Dage og ej fem Dage og ej ti Dage og ej tyve Dage,
Not one day shall ye eat, nor two days, nor five days, nor ten days, nor twenty days;
20 men en Maaneds Dage, indtil det gaar ud af eders Næse og er eder til en Afsky; fordi I have forkastet Herren, som er midt iblandt eder, og have grædt for hans Ansigt og sagt: Hvortil ere vi udgangne af Ægypten?
But up to a full month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it become loathsome unto you; because that ye have despised the Lord who is in the midst of you, and ye have wept before him, saying, Why did we come forth out of Egypt?
21 Og Mose sagde: Seks Hundrede Tusinde Mænd til Fods er dette Folk, som jeg er midt iblandt, og du siger: Jeg vil give dem Kød, og de skulle æde en Maaneds Tid.
And Moses said, Six hundred thousand men on foot is the people, in the midst of whom I am; and yet thou hast said, Flesh will I give them, that they may eat a whole month.
22 Mon der skal slagtes smaat Kvæg og stort Kvæg for dem, at der kan blive nok til dem? mon alle Fiskene i Havet skulle samles til dem, at der kan blive nok til dem?
Shall flocks and herds be slain for them, that they may suffice for them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, that they may suffice for them?
23 Og Herren sagde til Mose: Monne da Herrens Haand være forkortet? nu skal du se, om mit Ord skal vederfares dig eller ej.
And the Lord said unto Moses, Should the Lord's hand be too short? now shalt thou see whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not.
24 Og Mose gik ud og talede Herrens Ord til Folket; og han samlede halvfjerdsindstyve Mænd af Folkets Ældste og stillede dem rundt omkring Paulunet.
And Moses went out, and spoke to the people the words of the Lord; and he assembled seventy men from the elders of the people, and placed them round about the tabernacle.
25 Da kom Herren ned i Skyen og talede til ham, og han tog af den Aand, som var paa ham, og lagde paa de halvfjerdsindstyve Ældste, og det skete, der Aanden hvilede paa dem, da profeterede de, og de gjorde det ikke siden.
And the Lord came down in a cloud and spoke unto him; and he took some of the spirit that was upon him, and put it upon the seventy men, the elders: and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, but they did not so any more.
26 Men der var to Mænd blevne tilbage i Lejren, den enes Navn var Eldad, og den andens Navn Medad, og Aanden hvilede over dem, thi de vare iblandt de opskrevne, men de vare dog ikke udgangne til Paulunet, og de profeterede i Lejren.
And there remained two men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad; and the spirit rested upon them; and they were of those that were written down, but they had not gone out unto the tabernacle: and they prophesied in the camp.
27 Da løb en Dreng og gav Mose tilkende og sagde: Eldad og Medad profetere i Lejren.
And there ran a young man, and told to Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.
28 Da svarede Josva, Nuns Søn, Mose Tjener, en af hans udvalgte, og sagde: Min Herre, Mose! forhindre dem.
And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses from his youth, answered and said, My Lord Moses, forbid them.
29 Men Mose sagde til ham: Er du nidkær for mig? gid alt Herrens Folk var Profeter, og Herren vilde give sin Aand over dem!
And Moses said unto him, Art thou zealous for my sake? And oh that one might render all the people of the Lord prophets, that the Lord would put his spirit upon them!
30 Og Mose forføjede sig til Lejren, han og de Ældste af Israel.
And Moses retired back into thy camp, he with the elders of Israel.
31 Da for der et Vejr ud fra Herren og førte Vagtler fra Havet og strøede dem over Lejren, ved en Dags Rejse til den ene og ved en Dags Rejse til den anden Side, trindt omkring Lejren, og ved to Alen højt paa Jorden.
And a wind went forth from the Lord, and drove up quails from the sea, and scattered them over the camp, about a day's journey on this side, and about a day's journey on the other side, round about the camp, and about two cubits high over the face of the earth.
32 Da stod Folket op hele den Dag og hele den Nat og hele den anden Dag, og de sankede Vagtler; hvo der havde mindst, havde samlet ti Homer; og de bredte dem trindt omkring Lejren.
And the people arose all that day, and all that night, and all the following day, and they gathered the quails; he that had taken the least, had gathered ten chomers: and they spread them out for themselves round about the camp.
33 Kødet var endnu imellem Tænderne paa dem, det var endnu ikke fortæret; da optændtes Herrens Vrede imod Folket, og Herren slog Folket med en saare stor Plage.
The flesh was yet between their teeth, it was not yet chewed: when the wrath of the Lord was kindled against the people, and the Lord smote among the people a very great plague.
34 Og man kaldte det Steds Navn Kibroth-Hattaava, fordi de der begrove Folket, dem, som havde været begærlige.
And he called the name of that place Kibroth-hattaavah; because there they buried the people that had lustfully craved.
35 Fra Kibroth-Hattaava rejste Folket til Hazeroth; og de bleve i Hazeroth.
From Kibroth-hattaavah the people journeyed unto Chazeroth; and they remained at Chazeroth.
