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.
茲に民災難に罹れる者のごとくにヱホバの耳に呟きぬヱホバその怨言を聞て震怒を發したまひければヱホバの火かれらに向ひて燃いでその營の極端を燒り
2 And the people cried out to Moses, and he prayed to the LORD, and the fire died down.
是に於て民モーセに呼はりしがモーセ、ヱホバに祈ければその火鎮りぬ
3 So that place was called Taberah, because the fire of the LORD had burned among them.
ヱホバの火かれらに向ひて燃出たるに因てその處の名をタベラ(燃)と稱ぶ
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?
茲に彼等の中なる衆多の寄集人等慾心を起すイスラエルの子孫もまた再び哭て言ふ誰か我らに肉を與へて食しめんか
5 We remember the fish we ate freely in Egypt, along with the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions, and garlic.
憶ひ出るに我等エジプトにありし時は魚黄瓜水瓜韮葱靑蒜等を心のままに食へり
6 But now our appetite is gone; there is nothing to see but this manna!”
然るに今は我儕の精神枯衰ふ我らの目の前にはこのマナの外何も有ざるなりと
7 Now the manna resembled coriander seed, and its appearance was like that of gum resin.
マナは莞荽の實のごとくにしてその色はブドラクの色のごとし
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.
民行巡りてこれを斂め石磨にひき或は臼に搗てこれを釜の中に煮て餅となせりその味は油菓子の味のごとし
9 When the dew fell on the camp at night, the manna would fall with it.
夜にいりて露營に降る時にマナその上に降れり
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.
モーセ聞に民の家々の者おのおのその天幕の門口に哭く是におひてヱホバ烈しく怒を發したまふこの事またモーセの目にも惡く見ゆ
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?
モーセすなはちヱホバに言けるは汝なんぞ僕を惡くしたまふ乎いかなれば我汝の前に恩を獲ずして汝かく此すべての民をわが任となして我に負せたまふや
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?
この總體の民は我が姙みし者ならんや我が生し者ならんや然るに汝なんぞ我に慈父が乳哺子を抱くがごとくに彼らを懐に抱きて汝が昔日かれらの先祖等に誓ひたまひし地に至れと言たまふや
13 Where can I get meat for all these people? For they keep crying out to me, ‘Give us meat to eat!’
我何處より肉を得てこの總體の民に與へんや彼等は我にむかひて哭き我等に肉を與へて食しめよと言なり
14 I cannot carry all these people by myself; it is too burdensome for me.
我は一人にてはこの總體の民をわが任として負ことあたはず是は我には重きに過ればなり
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.”
我もし汝の前に恩を獲ば請ふ斯我を爲んよりは寧ろ直に我を殺したまへ我をしてわが困苦を見せしめたまふ勿れ
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.
是においてヱホバ、モーセに言たまはくイスラエルの老人の中民の長老たり有司たるを汝が知るところの者七十人を我前に集め集會の幕屋に携きたりて其處に汝とともに立しめよ
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.
我降りて其處にて汝と言はん又われ汝の上にあるところの霊を彼等にも分ち與へん彼等汝とともに民の任を負ひ汝をして只一人にて之を負ふこと無らしむべし
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.
汝また民に告て言へ汝等身を潔めて明日を待て必ず肉を食ふことを得ん汝等ヱホバの耳に哭て誰か我等に肉を與へて食しめん我らエジプトにありし時は却て善りしと言たればヱホバなんぢらに肉を與へて食しめたまふべし
19 You will eat it not for one or two days, nor for five or ten or twenty days,
汝等がこれを食ふは一日や二日や五日や十日や二十日にはあらずして
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?’”
一月におよび遂に汝らの鼻より出るにいたらん汝等これに饜はつべし是なんぢら己等の中にいますヱホバを軽んじてその前に哭き我等何とてエジプトより出しやと言たればなり
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.’
モーセ言けるは我が偕にをる民は歩卒のみにても六十萬あり然るに汝は我かれらに肉を與へて一月の間食しめんと言たまふ
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?”
羊と牛の群を宰るとも彼等を飽しむることを得んや海の魚をことごとく集むるとも彼等を飽しむることを得んや
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.”
ヱホバ、モーセに言たまはくヱホバの手短からんや吾言の成と然らざるとは汝今これを見るあらん
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.
是に於てモーセ出きたりてヱホバの言を民に告げ民の長老七十人を集めて幕屋の四圍に立しめけるに
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.
ヱホバ雲の中にありて降りモーセと言ひモーセのうへにある霊をもてその長老七十人にも分ち與へたまひしがその霊かれらの上にやどりしかば彼等預言せり但し此後はかさねて爲ざりき
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.
時に彼等の中なる二人の者營に止まり居るその一人の名はエルダデといひ一人の名はメダデと曰ふ霊またかれらの上にもやどれり彼らは其名を録されたる者なりしが幕屋に往ざりければ營の中にて預言をなせり
27 A young man ran and reported to Moses, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.”
時に一人の少者奔りきたりモーセに告てエルダデとメダデ營の中にて預言すと言ければ
28 Joshua son of Nun, the attendant to Moses since youth, spoke up and said, “Moses, my lord, stop them!”
その少時よりしてモーセの從者たりしヌンの子ヨシユアこたへて曰けるは吾主モーセこれを禁めたまヘ
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!”
モーセこれに言けるは汝わがために媢嫉を起すやヱホバの民の皆預言者とならんことまたヱホバのその霊を之に降したまはんことこそ願しけれ
30 Then Moses returned to the camp, along with the elders of Israel.
斯てモーセ、イスラエルの長老等とともに營に返れり
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.
茲にヱホバの許より風おこり出て海の方より鶉を吹きたりこれをして營の周圍に堕しめたりその堕ひろがれること營の四周此旁も大約一日路彼旁も大約一日路地の表より高きこと大約二キユビトなりき
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.
民すなはち起あがりてその日終日その夜終夜またその次の日終日鶉を拾ひ斂めけるが拾ひ斂むることの至て寡き者も十ホメルほど拾ひ斂めたり皆これを營の周圍に陳べおけり
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.
肉なほ歯のあひだにありていまだ食つくさざるにヱホバ民にむかひて怒を發しこれを撃ておほいに滅ぼしたまへり
34 So they called that place Kibroth-hattaavah, because there they buried the people who had craved other food.
是をもてその處の名をキブロテハッタワ(慾心の墓)とよべり其は慾心をおこせる人々を其處に埋たればなり
35 From Kibroth-hattaavah the people moved on to Hazeroth, where they remained for some time.
斯て民キブロテハツタワよりハゼロテに進みゆきてハゼロテに居ぬ
