< Numbers 11 >

1 And the people murmured sinfully before the Lord; and the Lord heard [them] and was very angry; and fire was kindled amongst them from the Lord, and devoured a part of the camp.
Awo abantu ne beemulugunya olw’ebizibu byabwe nga ne Mukama awulira; bwe yabawulira obusungu bwe ne bubuubuuka. Omuliro ne guva eri Mukama ne gwakira mu bo, ne gwokya ebitundu ebimu ebyali bikomererayo eby’olusiisira lwabwe.
2 And the people cried to Moses: and Moses prayed to the Lord, and the fire was quenched.
Abantu ne bakaabirira Musa; Musa n’asaba Mukama, omuliro ne guzikira.
3 And the name of that place was called Burning; for a fire was kindled amongst them from the Lord.
Ekifo ekyo ne kituumibwa erinnya Tabera, kubanga omuliro ogwava eri Mukama gwabaakiramu.
4 And the mixed multitude amongst them lusted exceedingly; and they and the children of Israel sat down and wept and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
Abagwira abaali beetabudde mu baana ba Isirayiri ne baluluunkanira ebyokulya; n’abaana ba Isirayiri nabo ne bongera okukaaba nga bwe bagamba nti, “Singa nno tufuna ku nnyama ne tulyako!
5 We remember the fish, which we ate in Egypt freely; and the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the garlic, and the onions.
Tukyajjukira ebyennyanja bye twalyanga mu Misiri nga tewali na kye tubisasulidde, ne wujju n’ensujju, n’enderema n’obutungulu ne katungulukyumu n’ebyokuliira.
6 But now our soul is dried up; our eyes [turn] to nothing but to the manna.
Naye kaakano n’okwoya emmere kutuweddemu, buli we tukuba eriiso tulaba mmaanu eno!”
7 And the manna is as coriander seed, and the appearance of it the appearance of hoarfrost.
Emmaanu yafaanananga ng’ensigo za koliyanda, nga n’ekifaananyi kyayo kiri ng’ekya bideriamu.
8 And the people went through the field, and gathered, and ground it in the mill, or pounded it in a mortar, and baked it in a pan, and made cakes of it; and the sweetness of it was as the taste [of] wafer made with oil.
Abantu baagendanga ne bagikuŋŋaanya ne bagiseera ku lubengo oba ne bagisekulira mu binu, ne bagifumba mu ntamu oba ne bakolamu bukeeke. Nga mu kamwa ebanga ekoleddwa n’amafuta ga zeyituuni.
9 And when the dew came upon the camp by night, the manna came down upon it.
Omusulo bwe gwagwanga mu lusiisira ekiro n’emmaanu nayo n’egwa nagwo.
10 And Moses heard them weeping by their families, every one in his door: and the Lord was very angry; and the thing was evil in the sight of Moses.
Musa n’awulira abantu aba buli luggya nga bakaaba, buli omu ng’akaabira mu muzigo gw’eweema ye; obusungu bwa Mukama Katonda ne bubuubuuka nnyo, ne Musa n’asoberwa n’anyiikaala.
11 And Moses said to the Lord, Why have you afflicted your servant, and why have I not found grace in your sight, that you should lay the weight of this people upon me?
Musa n’agamba Mukama Katonda nti, “Lwaki oleetedde omuddu wo obuzibu buno? Nkoze ki ekitakusanyusizza ne kikuleetera okwetikka omugugu gw’abantu bano bonna?
12 Have I conceived all this people, or have I born them? that you say to me, Take them into your bosom, as a nurse would take her suckling, into the land which you sware to their fathers?
Nze nali olubuto omwali abantu bano bonna? Nze nabazaala? Lwaki oŋŋamba okubasitula mu mikono gyange ng’omulezi w’abaana bw’asitula omwana omuwere mbatwale mu nsi gye wabasuubiza ng’ogirayirira bajjajjaabwe?
13 Whence have I flesh to give to all this people? for they weep to me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.
Ennyama abantu bano bonna gye banaalya nnaagiggya wa? Kubanga baneetayirira nga bankaabirira nti, ‘Tuwe ennyama tulye!’
14 I shall not be able to bear this people alone, for this thing is too heavy for me.
Sisobola kusitula bantu bano bonna bw’omu kubanga obuzito bwabwe buyinza okummenya nga ndi nzekka.
15 And if you do thus to me, kill me utterly, if I have found favour with you, that I may not see my affliction.
Obanga bw’otyo bw’ojja okumpisa, ate nga bulijjo ondaga ekisa kyo, kale nno nzitiraawo kaakano oleme kundeka ne neereetera okwezikiriza.”
16 And the Lord said to Moses, Gather me seventy men from the elders of Israel, whom you yourself know that they are the elders of the people, and their scribes; and you shall bring them to the tabernacle of witness, and they shall stand there with you.
Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Nfunira abasajja nsanvu mu bakulu ba Isirayiri b’omanyi nga be bakulu b’abantu era nga be bakulembeze baabwe obaleete ku Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, bayimirire awo naawe.
17 And I will go down, and speak there with you; and I will take of the spirit that is upon you, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear together with you the burden of the people, and you shall not bear them alone.
Nzija kukka awo njogere naawe; era nzija kutoola ku mwoyo oguli mu ggwe ngubateekemu, balyokenga bakusitulireko omugugu gw’abantu oleme kugwetikkanga wekka.
18 And to the people you shall say, Purify yourselves for the morrow, and you shall eat flesh; for you wept before the Lord, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt: and the Lord shall allow you to eat flesh, and you shall eat flesh.
“Abantu bagambe nti, ‘Mwetukuze nga mwetegekera olunaku lw’enkya, lwe mujja okulya ennyama. Kubanga Mukama Katonda yabawulira nga mumukaabirira bwe muti nti, “Singa tufunye ku nnyama ne tulyako! Bwe twali mu Misiri twali bulungi!” Noolwekyo Mukama ajja kubawa ennyama mugirye.
19 You shall not eat one day, nor two, nor five days, nor ten days, nor twenty days;
Temugenda kugirya mu lunaku lumu, oba mu nnaku bbiri, oba mu nnaku ttaano, oba mu nnaku kkumi, oba nnaku abiri;
20 you shall eat for a full month, until [the flesh] come out at your nostrils; and it shall be nausea to you, because you disobeyed the Lord, who is amongst you, and wept before him, saying, What had we to do to come out of Egypt?
naye kumala mwezi mulambirira, okutuusa lw’erifulumira mu nnyindo zammwe n’ebanyiwa, kubanga mwesamudde Mukama Katonda abeera mu mmwe, ne mumukaabirira nga mugamba nti, “Mu Misiri twaviirayo ki?”’”
21 And Moses said, The people amongst whom I am are six hundred thousand footmen; and you said, I will give them flesh to eat, and they shall eat a whole month.
Musa n’agamba nti, “Abantu bano mwe ndi bawera omuwendo gwa mitwalo nkaaga abatambuza ebigere, naawe ogamba nti, ‘Nzija kubawa ennyama gye banaalya okumala omwezi mulamba!’
22 Shall sheep and oxen be slain for them, and shall it suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, and shall it suffice them?
Ebisolo ebiri mu biraalo ne mu bisibo bwe binattibwa binaabamala? Nantiki ebyennyanja byonna eby’omu nnyanja bwe binaavubibwa ne bibaweebwa, binaabamala?”
23 And the Lord said to Moses, Shall not the hand of the Lord be fully sufficient? now shall you know whether my word shall come to pass to you or not.
Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Omukono gwa Mukama Katonda guyimpawadde? Kaakano ojja kulaba obanga ekigambo kyange kye nkugambye kinaatuukirira oba tekiituukirire.”
24 And Moses went out, and spoke the words of the Lord to the people; and he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people, and he set them round about the tabernacle.
Awo Musa n’afuluma n’ategeeza abantu ebigambo bya Mukama Katonda; n’akuŋŋaanya abasajja nsanvu mu bakulembeze b’abantu n’abayimiriza okumpi ne Weema ya Mukama.
25 And the Lord came down in a cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and put it upon the seventy men that were elders; and when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied and ceased.
Awo Mukama Katonda n’akkira mu kire n’ayogera ne Musa, n’addira ku mwoyo ogwali mu Musa n’agussa mu bakulembeze ensanvu. Omwoyo bwe baagufuna ne batandika okutegeeza obunnabbi, kyokka tebaddayo nate kukikola.
26 And there were two men left in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Modad; and the spirit rested upon them, and these were of the number of them that were enrolled, but they did not come to the tabernacle; and they prophesied in the camp.
Waaliwo abasajja babiri nga bayitibwa Eridaadi ne Medadi, baali babaliddwa ku bakulembeze ensanvu, naye bo ne basigala mu lusiisira, ne batagenda ku Weema ya Mukama; nabo baafuna omwoyo, era ne bategeeza obunnabbi mu lusiisira.
27 And a young man ran and told Moses, and spoke, saying, Eldad and Modad prophesy in the camp.
Omuvubuka n’adduka n’agenda ategeeza Musa nti, “Eridaadi ne Medadi bategeeza obunnabbi mu lusiisira.”
28 And Joshua the son of Naue, who attended on Moses, the chosen one, said, [My] lord Moses, forbid them.
Awo Yoswa mutabani wa Nuuni, omuweereza wa Musa gwe yali yeerondedde ng’akyali muvubuka n’agamba nti, “Mukama wange Musa, baziyize.”
29 And Moses said to him, Are you jealous on my account? and would that all the Lord's people were prophets; whenever the Lord shall put his spirit upon them.
Naye Musa n’amugamba nti, “Okwatiddwa obuggya ku lwange? Kyandibadde kirungi singa abantu ba Mukama bonna bannabbi, ne Mukama Katonda n’abawa omwoyo gwe!”
30 And Moses departed into the camp, himself and the elders of Israel.
Musa n’abakulembeze ba Isirayiri ne baddayo mu lusiisira.
31 And there went forth a wind from the Lord, and brought quails over from the sea; and it brought them down upon the camp a day's journey on this side, and a day's journey on that side, round about the camp, as it were two cubits from the earth.
Awo empewo n’eva eri Mukama Katonda n’ereeta obugubi nga buva mu nnyanja ne bugwa okwebungulula olusiisira nga bukoze entuumo nga ya mita emu okuva ku ttaka, nga bujjuza ebbanga lya lugendo lwa lunaku lumu ku ludda olumu olw’olusiisira n’olugendo lwa lunaku lumu ku ludda olulala.
32 And the people rose up all the day, and all the night, and all the next day, and gathered quails; he that gathered least, gathered ten measures; and they refreshed themselves round about the camp.
Ku lunaku olwo ne ku lunaku olwaddirira abantu ne bakuŋŋaanya obugubi emisana n’ekiro. Tewali yakuŋŋaanya buzito bwakka wansi wa kilo lukumi; ne babwanika buli wantu mu lusiisira.
33 The flesh was yet between their teeth, before it failed, when the Lord was angry with the people, and the Lord struck the people with a very great plague.
Naye ennyama yali ekyali mu mannyo gaabwe nga tebannaba kugirya, obusungu bwa Mukama Katonda ne bubuubuukira abantu n’abaleetera kawumpuli ow’amaanyi ennyo.
34 And the name of that place was called the Graves of Lust; for there they buried the people that lusted.
Noolwekyo ekifo ekyo kyekyava kituumibwa Kiberosu Katava, kubanga awo we baaziika abantu abaalina omulugube.
35 The people departed from the Graves of Lust to Aseroth; and the people halted at Aseroth.
Abantu bwe baava e Kiberosu Katava ne batambula okutuuka e Kazerosi ne babeera awo.
