Numbers 11
1 Soon the people began to complain about their hardship in the hearing of the LORD, and when He heard them, His anger was kindled, and fire from the LORD blazed among them and consumed the outskirts of the camp.
Men Folket knurrede højlydt for HERREN over deres usle Kår; og da HERREN hørte det, blussede hans Vrede op, og HERRENs Ild brød løs iblandt dem og åd om sig i den yderste Del af Lejren.
2 And the people cried out to Moses, and he prayed to the LORD, and the fire died down.
Da råbte Folket til Moses, og Moses gik i Forbøn hos HERREN. Så dæmpedes Ilden.
3 So that place was called Taberah, because the fire of the LORD had burned among them.
Derfor kaldte man dette Sted Tabera, fordi HERRENs Ild brød løs iblandt dem.
4 Meanwhile, the rabble among them had a strong craving for other food, and again the Israelites wept and said, “Who will feed us meat?
Men den sammenløbne Hob, som fandtes iblandt dem, blev lysten. Så tog også Israeliterne til at græde igen, og de sagde: "Kunde vi dog få Kød at spise!
5 We remember the fish we ate freely in Egypt, along with the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions, and garlic.
Vi mindes Fiskene, vi fik at spise for intet i Ægypten, og Agurkerne, Vandmelonerne, Porrerne, Hvidløgene og Skalotterne,
6 But now our appetite is gone; there is nothing to see but this manna!”
og nu vansmægter vi; her er hverken det ene eller det andet, vi ser aldrig andet end Manna."
7 Now the manna resembled coriander seed, and its appearance was like that of gum resin.
Mannaen lignede Horianderfrø og så ud som Bellium.
8 The people walked around and gathered it, ground it on a handmill or crushed it in a mortar, then boiled it in a cooking pot or shaped it into cakes. It tasted like pastry baked with fine oil.
Folket gik rundt og sankede den op; derpå malede de den i Håndkværne eller stødte den i Mortere; så kogte de den i Gryder og lavede Kager deraf; den smagte da som Bagværk tillavet i Olie.
9 When the dew fell on the camp at night, the manna would fall with it.
Når Duggen om Natten faldt over Lejren, faldt også Mannaen ned over den.
10 Then Moses heard the people of family after family weeping at the entrances to their tents, and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly, and Moses was also displeased.
Og Moses hørte, hvorledes alle Folkets Slægter græd, enhver ved Indgangen til sit Telt; da blussede HERRENs Vrede voldsomt op, og det vakte også Moses's Mishag.
11 So Moses asked the LORD, “Why have You brought this trouble on Your servant? Why have I not found favor in Your sight, that You have laid upon me the burden of all these people?
Da sagde Moses til HERREN: "Hvorfor har du handlet så ilde med din Tjener, og hvorfor har jeg ikke fundet Nåde for dine Øjne, siden du har lagt hele dette Folk som en Byrde på mig?
12 Did I conceive all these people? Did I give them birth, so that You should tell me, ‘Carry them in your bosom, as a nurse carries an infant,’ to the land that You swore to give their fathers?
Mon det er mig, der har undfanget hele dette Folk, mon det er mig, der har født det, siden du forlanger, at jeg i min Favn skal bære det hen til det Land, du tilsvor dets Fædre, som en Fosterfader bærer det diende Barn?
13 Where can I get meat for all these people? For they keep crying out to me, ‘Give us meat to eat!’
Hvor skal jeg gå hen og skaffe hele dette Folk Kød? Thi de græder rundt om mig og siger: Skaf os Kød at spise?
14 I cannot carry all these people by myself; it is too burdensome for me.
Jeg kan ikke ene bære hele dette Folk, det er mig for tungt.
15 If this is how You are going to treat me, please kill me right now—if I have found favor in Your eyes—and let me not see my own wretchedness.”
Hvis du vil handle således med mig, så dræb mig hellere, om jeg har fundet Nåde for dine Øjne, så at jeg ikke skal være nødt til at opleve sådan Elendighed!"
16 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Bring Me seventy of the elders of Israel known to you as leaders and officers of the people. Bring them to the Tent of Meeting and have them stand there with you.
HERREN svarede Moses: "Kald mig halvfjerdsindstyve af Israels Ældste sammen, Mænd, som du ved hører til Folkets Ældste og Tilsynsmænd, før dem hen til Åbenbaringsteltet og lad dem stille sig op hos dig der.
17 And I will come down and speak with you there, and I will take some of the Spirit that is on you and put that Spirit on them. They will help you bear the burden of the people, so that you do not have to bear it by yourself.
Så vil jeg stige ned og tale med dig der, og jeg vil tage noget af den Ånd, der er over dig, og lade den komme over dem, for at de kan hjælpe dig med at bære Folkets Byrde, så du ikke ene skal bære den.
18 And say to the people: Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, and you will eat meat, because you have cried out in the hearing of the LORD, saying: ‘Who will feed us meat? For we were better off in Egypt!’ Therefore the LORD will give you meat, and you will eat.
Men til Folket skal du sige: Helliger eder til i Morgen, så skal I få Kød at spise! I har jo grædt højlydt for HERREN og sagt: Kunde vi dog få Kød at spise! Vi havde det jo bedre i Ægypten! Derfor vil HERREN give eder kød at spise;
19 You will eat it not for one or two days, nor for five or ten or twenty days,
og ikke blot een eller to eller fem eller ti eller tyve Dage skal I spise det,
20 but for a whole month—until it comes out of your nostrils and makes you nauseous—because you have rejected the LORD, who is among you, and have cried out before Him, saying, ‘Why did we ever leave Egypt?’”
men en hel Måned igennem, indtil det står eder ud af Næsen, og I væmmes derved, fordi I har ringeagtet HERREN, der er i eders Midte, og grædt for hans Åsyn og sagt: Hvorfor drog vi dog ud af Ægypten!"
21 But Moses replied, “Here I am among 600,000 men on foot, yet You say, ‘I will give them meat, and they will eat for a month.’
Moses svarede: "600000 Fodfolk tæller det Folk, jeg bar om mig, og du siger: Jeg vil skaffe dem Kød, så de har nok at spise en hel Måned!
22 If all our flocks and herds were slaughtered for them, would they have enough? Or if all the fish in the sea were caught for them, would they have enough?”
Kan der slagtes så meget Småkvæg og Hornkvæg til dem, at det kan slå til, eller kan alle Fisk i Havet samles sammen til dem, så det kan slå til?"
23 The LORD answered Moses, “Is the LORD’s arm too short? Now you will see whether or not My word will come to pass.”
HERREN svarede Moses: "Er HERRENs Arm for kort? Nu skal du få at se, om mit Ord går i Opfyldelse for dig eller ej."
24 So Moses went out and relayed to the people the words of the LORD, and he gathered seventy of the elders of the people and had them stand around the tent.
Da gik Moses ud og kundgjorde Folket HERRENs Ord. Og han samlede halvfjerdsindstyve af Folkets Ældste og lod dem stille sig rundt om Teltet.
25 Then the LORD came down in the cloud and spoke to him, and He took some of the Spirit that was on Moses and placed that Spirit on the seventy elders. As the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied—but they never did so again.
Så steg HERREN ned i Skyen og talede til ham; og han tog noget af den Ånd, der var over ham, og lod den komme over de halvfjerdsindstyve Ældste, og da Ånden hvilede over dem, kom de i profetisk Henrykkelse noget, som ikke siden hændtes dem.
26 Two men, however, had remained in the camp—one named Eldad and the other Medad—and the Spirit rested on them. They were among those listed, but they had not gone out to the tent, and they prophesied in the camp.
Imidlertid var to Mænd blevet tilbage i Lejren, den ene hed Eldad, den anden Medad. Også over dem kom Ånden, thi de hørte til dem, der var optegnede, men de var ikke gået ud til Teltet, og nu kom de i profetisk Henrykkelse inde i Lejren.
27 A young man ran and reported to Moses, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.”
Da løb en ung Mand ud og fortalte Moses det og sagde: "Eldad og Medad er kommet i profetisk Henrykkelse inde i Lejren."
28 Joshua son of Nun, the attendant to Moses since youth, spoke up and said, “Moses, my lord, stop them!”
Josua, Nuns Søn, der fra sin Ungdom af havde gået Moses til Hånde, sagde da: "Min Herre Moses, stands dem i det!"
29 But Moses replied, “Are you jealous on my account? I wish that all the LORD’s people were prophets and that the LORD would place His Spirit on them!”
Men Moses sagde til ham: "Er du skinsyg på mine Vegne? Gid alt HERRENs Folk var Profeter, gid HERREN vilde lade sin Ånd komme over dem!"
30 Then Moses returned to the camp, along with the elders of Israel.
Derpå trak Moses sig tilbage til Lejren med Israels Ældste.
31 Now a wind sent by the LORD came up, drove in quail from the sea, and brought them near the camp, about two cubits above the surface of the ground, for a day’s journey in every direction around the camp.
Da rejste der sig på HERRENs Bud en Vind, som førte Vagtler med sig fra Havet og drev dem hen over Lejren så langt som en Dagsrejse på begge Sider af Lejren i en Højde af et Par Alen over Jorden.
32 All that day and night, and all the next day, the people stayed up gathering the quail. No one gathered less than ten homers, and they spread them out all around the camp.
Så gav Folket sig hele den Dag, hele Natten og hele den næste Dag til at samle Vagtlerne op; det mindste, nogen samlede, var ti Homer. Og de bredte dem ud til Tørring rundt om Lejren.
33 But while the meat was still between their teeth, before it was chewed, the anger of the LORD burned against the people, and the LORD struck them with a severe plague.
Medens Kødet endnu var imellem Tænderne på dem, før det endnu var spist, blussede HERRENs Vrede op imod Folket, og HERREN lod en meget hård Straf ramme Folket.
34 So they called that place Kibroth-hattaavah, because there they buried the people who had craved other food.
Og man kaldte Stedet Kibrot Hattåva, thi der blev de lystne Folk jordet.
35 From Kibroth-hattaavah the people moved on to Hazeroth, where they remained for some time.
Fra Kibrot-Hattåva drog Folket til Hazerot, og de gjorde Holdt i Hazerot.
