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 the people are evil, as those sighing habitually in the ears of YHWH, and YHWH hears, and His anger burns, and the fire of YHWH burns among them, and consumes in the extremity of the camp.

2 Da raabte Folket til Mose, og Mose bad til Herren, saa blev Ilden dæmpet.

And the people cry to Moses, and Moses prays to YHWH, and the fire is quenched;

3 Og han kaldte det samme Steds Navn Thabeera; thi Herrens Ild brændte iblandt dem.

and he calls the name of that place Taberah, for the fire of YHWH has “burned” 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 rabble who [are] in its midst have lusted greatly, and the sons of Israel also turn back and weep, and say, “Who gives us flesh?

5 Vi komme i Hu den Fisk, som vi aade for intet i Ægypten, Græskarrene og Melonerne og Porrene og Rødløgene og Hvidløgene;

We have remembered the fish which we eat in Egypt for nothing, 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.

and now our soul [is] dry, there is not anything, except the manna, before our eyes.”

7 Men dette Man var som Korianderfrø, og dets Farve var ligesom Bedellions Farve.

And the manna is as coriander seed, and its aspect as the aspect of 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 have turned aside and gathered [it], and ground [it] with millstones, or beat [it] in a mortar, and boiled [it] in a pan, and made it cakes, and its taste has been as the taste of the moisture of oil.

9 Og naar Duggen faldt over Lejren om Natten, da faldt Man ned derpaa.

And in the descending of the dew on the camp by night, the manna descends on 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 hears the people weeping by its families, each at the opening of his tent, and the anger of YHWH burns exceedingly, and in the eyes of Moses [it is] evil.

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 says to YHWH, “Why have You done evil to Your servant? And why have I not found grace in Your eyes—to put the burden of all this people on 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.

I—have I conceived all this people? I—have I begotten it, that You say to me, Carry it in your bosom, as the one supporting carries the nursing suckling, to the ground which You have sworn to its 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.

From where do I have flesh to give to all this people? For they weep to me, saying, Give flesh to us, and we eat.

14 Jeg kan ikke ene bære alt dette Folk; thi det er mig for svart.

I am not able—I alone—to bear all this people, for [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 thus You are doing to me—please slay me; slay, if I have found grace in your eyes, and do not let me look on my affliction.”

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 YHWH says to Moses, “Gather to Me seventy men from [the] elderly of Israel, whom you have known that they are [the] elderly of the people, and its authorities; and you have taken them to the Tent of Meeting, and they have stationed themselves there with you,

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 have come down and spoken with you there, and have kept back of the Spirit which [is] on you, and have put [that One] on them, and they have borne some of the burden of the people with you, and you do not bear [it] 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 you say to the people: Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow, and you have eaten flesh, for you have wept in the ears of YHWH, saying, Who gives us flesh? For we [had] good in Egypt; and YHWH has given flesh to you, and you have eaten.

19 I skulle ikke æde een Dag og ej to Dage og ej fem Dage og ej ti Dage og ej tyve Dage,

You do not eat one day, 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] even to a month of days, until it comes out from your nostrils, and it has become an abomination to you, because that you have loathed YHWH, who [is] in your midst, and weep before Him, saying, Why is this [that] we have come 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 says, “Six hundred thousand footmen [are] the people in whose midst I [dwell]; and You, You have said, I give flesh to them, and they have eaten [for] a month of days!

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?

Is flock and herd slaughtered for them, that one has found [enough] for them? Are all the fishes of the sea gathered for them, that one has found [enough] 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 YHWH says to Moses, “Has the hand of YHWH become short? Now you see whether My word meets you 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 goes out, and speaks the words of YHWH to the people, and gathers seventy men from [the] elderly of the people, and causes them to stand around the tent,

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 YHWH comes down in the cloud, and speaks to him, and keeps back of the Spirit which [is] on him, and puts [that One] on the seventy elderly men; and it comes to pass at the resting of the Spirit on them, that they prophesy, and they have never done [so] again.

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 two of the men are left in the camp, the name of the first [is] Eldad and the name of the second Medad, and the spirit rests on them (and they are among those written, but they have not gone out to the tent), and they prophesy in the camp;

27 Da løb en Dreng og gav Mose tilkende og sagde: Eldad og Medad profetere i Lejren.

and the young man runs, and declares [it] to Moses, and says, “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 son of Nun, minister of Moses, [one] of his young men, answers and says, “My lord Moses, restrain 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 says to him, “Are you zealous for me? O that all YHWH’s people were prophets! That YHWH would put His Spirit on them!”

30 Og Mose forføjede sig til Lejren, han og de Ældste af Israel.

And Moses is gathered to the camp, he and [the] elderly 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 spirit has journeyed from YHWH, and cuts off quails from the sea, and leaves [them] by the camp, as a day’s journey here and as a day’s journey there, around the camp, and about two cubits above the face of the land.

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 rise all that day, and all the night, and all the day after, and gather the quails—he who has least has gathered ten homers—and they spread them out for themselves around 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 is yet between their teeth—it is not yet cut off—and the anger of YHWH has burned among the people, and YHWH strikes [with] a very great striking among the people;

34 Og man kaldte det Steds Navn Kibroth-Hattaava, fordi de der begrove Folket, dem, som havde været begærlige.

and [one] calls the name of that place Kibroth-Hattaavah, for there they have buried the people who lust.

35 Fra Kibroth-Hattaava rejste Folket til Hazeroth; og de bleve i Hazeroth.

From Kibroth-Hattaavah the people have journeyed to Hazeroth, and they are in Hazeroth.
