Numbers 11
1 In the mean time there arose a murmuring of the people against the Lord, as it were repining at their fatigue. And when the Lord heard it he was angry. And the fire of the Lord being kindled against them, devoured them that were at the uttermost part of the camp.
Anthu atadandaula kwa Yehova chifukwa cha mavuto awo, Yehovayo anamva ndipo anakwiya kwambiri. Kenaka moto wa Yehova unayaka pakati pawo ndi kutentha zigawo zina za kunja kwa msasa.
2 And when the people cried to Moses, Moses prayed to the Lord, and the fire was swallowed up.
Anthuwo analira kwa Mose ndipo Moseyo atapemphera kwa Yehova, motowo unazima.
3 And he called the name of that place, The burning: for that the fire of the Lord had been kindled against them.
Motero malowo anawatcha Tabera, chifukwa moto wa Yehova unayaka pakati pawo.
4 For a mixt multitude of people, that came up with them, burned with desire, sitting and weeping, the children of Israel also being joined with them, and said: Who shall give us flesh to eat?
Anthu ena osokoneza amene anali pakati pa Aisraeli anayamba kukhumba chakudya cha ku Igupto ndipo Aisraeli nawonso anayamba kufuwula kwambiri nʼkumati, “Tikanangopeza nyama yoti nʼkudya!
5 We remember the Ash that we ate in Egypt free cost: the cucumbers come into our mind, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic.
Tikukumbukira nsomba zaulere zimene tinkadya ku Igupto komanso nkhaka, mavwende, anyezi wamitundumitundu ndi adyo.
6 Our soul is dry, our eyes behold nothing else but manna.
Koma tsopano chilakolako chathu chatha. Sitikuona kanthu kena kakudya koma mana basi!”
7 A Now the manna was like coriander seed, of the colour of bdellium.
Mana ankafanana ndi mbewu zamapira ndipo maonekedwe ake anali ngati ulimbo wowuma.
8 And the people went about, and gathering it, ground it in a mill, or beat it in a mortar, and boiled it in a pot, and made cakes thereof of the taste of bread tempered with oil.
Anthu ankapita kukatola manawo, nʼkumasinja mu mtondo kapena kupera. Ankawaphika mu mʼphika kapena kupanga makeke. Ndipo ankakoma ngati makeke ophikira mafuta a olivi.
9 And when the dew fell in the night upon the camp, the manna also fell with it.
Mame akamagwa pa msasawo usiku ankagwera kumodzi ndi manawo.
10 Now Moses heard the people weeping by their families, every one at the door of his tent. And the wrath of the Lord was exceedingly enkindled: to Moses also the thing seemed insupportable.
Mose anamva anthu a banja lililonse akufuwula, banja lililonse pa khomo la tenti yake. Yehova anakwiya kwambiri ndipo Mose anavutikanso mu mtima.
11 And he said to the Lord: Why hast thou afflicted thy servant? wherefore do I not find favour before thee? and why hast thou laid the weight of all this people upon me?
Mose anafunsa Yehova kuti, “Chifukwa chiyani mwabweretsa mavuto otere pa mtumiki wanune? Nʼchiyani chimene ndachita choti sichinakusangalatseni mpaka kundisenzetsa katundu wa anthu onsewa?
12 Have I conceived all this multitude, or begotten them, that thou shouldst say to me: Carry them in thy bosom as the nurse is wont to carry the little infant, and bear them into the land, for which thou hast sworn to their fathers?
Kodi Ndine amene ndinatenga pathupi pa anthu onsewa? Kodi ndinawabala ndine? Bwanji mukundiwuza kuti ndiwanyamule mʼmanja mwanga, monga momwe mlezi amanyamulira kamwana, kupita nawo ku malo omwe munalonjeza ndi lumbiro kwa makolo awo?
13 Whence should I have flesh to give to so great a multitude? they weep against me, saying: Give us flesh that we may eat.
Ndingayipeze kuti nyama yoti anthu onsewa adye? Iwowa akulirira ine kuti, ‘Tipatse nyama tidye!’
14 I am not able alone to bear all this people, because it is too heavy for me.
Sindingathe kusamala anthu onsewa ndekha. Katundu ameneyu ndi wolemera kwambiri kwa ine.
15 But if it seem unto thee otherwise, I beseech thee to kill me, and let me find grace in thy eyes, that I be not afflicted with so great evils.
Ngati umu ndi mmene muzichitira nane, chonde ingondiphani pompano. Koma ngati mwandikomera mtima ndiye ndisaonenso mavutowa.”
16 And the Lord said to Moses: Gather unto me seventy men of the ancients of Israel, whom thou knowest to be ancients and masters of the people: and thou shalt bring them to the door of the tabernacle of the covenant, and shalt make them stand there with thee,
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti, “Undibweretsere anthu 70 ochokera pakati pa akuluakulu a Aisraeli, amene umawadziwa kuti ndiwo atsogoleri komanso akuluakulu a mabanja. Abwere ku tenti ya msonkhano kuti ayime kumeneko pamodzi ndi iwe.
17 That I may come down and speak with thee: and I will take of thy spirit, and will give to them, that they may bear with thee the burden of the people, and thou mayest not be burthened alone.
Ndidzatsika ndi kuyankhula nawe kumeneko, ndipo ndidzatenga mzimu umene uli pa iwe ndi kuyika pa iwowo. Adzakuthandiza kusenza nkhawa za anthuwa ndipo sudzasenzanso wekha.”
18 And thou shalt say to the people: Be ye sanctified: tomorrow you shall eat flesh: for I have heard you say: Who will give us flesh to eat? it was well with us in Egypt. That the Lord may give you flesh, and you may eat:
“Uwawuze anthuwo kuti, ‘Mudziyeretse, kukonzekera mawa, pamene mudzadya nyama.’ Yehova anakumvani pamene munkalira kuti, ‘Zikanakhala bwino tikanapeza nyama yoti tidye! Tinkakhala bwino ku Igupto!’ Tsopano Yehova adzakupatsani nyama ndipo mudzayidyadi.
19 Not for one day, nor two, nor five, nor ten, no nor for twenty.
Simudzadya tsiku limodzi lokha, kapena masiku awiri, kapena asanu, khumi kapena masiku makumi awiri,
20 But even for a month of days, till it come out at your nostrils, and become loathsome to you, because you have cast off the Lord, who is in the midst of you, and have wept before him, saying: Why came we out of Egypt?
koma mwezi wonse, mpaka itakukolani ndi kutopa nayo chifukwa mwakana Yehova yemwe ali pakati panu ndipo mwalira pamaso pake kuti, ‘Bwanji tinachoka ku Igupto?’”
21 And Moses said: There are six hundred thousand footmen of this people, and sayest thou: I will give them flesh to eat a whole month?
Koma Mose anati, “Taonani pano ndili pakati pa anthu 600,000 amene ndi kuyenda nawo ndipo Inuyo mukuti, ‘Ndidzawapatsa nyama kuti adye mwezi wathunthu!’
22 Shall then a multitude of sheep and oxen be killed, that it may suffice for their food? or shall the fishes of the sea be gathered together to fill them?
Kodi ngakhale titapha nkhosa ndi ngʼombe, zingawakwanire? Ngakhale titagwira nsomba zonse za mʼnyanja, kodi zingawakwanire iwowa?”
23 And the Lord answered him: Is the hand of the Lord unable? Thou shalt presently see whether my word shall come to pass or no.
Yehova anayankha Mose kuti, “Kodi dzanja langa ndi lalifupi? Uwona tsopano ngati zimene ndanenazo zichitike kapena ayi.”
24 Moses therefore came, and told the people the words of the Lord, and assembled seventy men of the ancients of Israel, and made them to stand about the tabernacle.
Choncho Mose anatuluka nakawuza anthu zomwe Yehova ananena. Anasonkhanitsa pamodzi akuluakulu makumi asanu ndi awiri aja ndi kuwayimiritsa mozungulira Chihema.
25 And the Lord came down in a cloud, and spoke to him, taking away of the spirit that was in Moses, and giving to the seventy men. And when the spirit had rested on them they prophesied, nor did they cease afterwards.
Ndipo Yehova anatsika mʼmitambo ndi kuyankhula naye ndipo anatengako mzimu womwe unali pa Mose ndi kuwuyika pa akuluakulu makumi asanu ndi awiri aja. Pamene mzimuwo unakhazikika pa akuluakuluwo, anayamba kunenera koma sanapitirize.
26 Now there remained in the camp two of the men, of whom one was called Eldad, and the other Medad, upon whom the spirit rested; for they also had been enrolled, but were not gone forth to the tabernacle.
Koma anthu ena awiri omwe mayina awo anali Elidadi ndi Medadi, anatsalira mu msasa. Anali nawo mʼgulu la olembedwa aja, koma sanapite nawo ku Chihema. Komabe mzimu unakhala pa iwo ndipo ananenera ali mu msasa.
27 And when they prophesied in the camp, there ran a young man, and told Moses, saying: Eldad and Medad prophesy in the camp.
Mnyamata wina anathamanga kudzawuza Mose kuti, “Elidadi ndi Medadi akunenera mu msasa.”
28 Forthwith Josue the son of Nun, the minister of Moses, and chosen out of many, said: My lord Moses forbid them.
Yoswa mwana wa Nuni, mtumiki wa Mose kuyambira ubwana wake, anayankha kuti, “Mbuye wanga Mose, aletseni!”
29 But he said: Why hast thou emulation for me? O that all the people might prophesy, and that the Lord would give them his spirit!
Koma Mose anati, “Kodi ukuchita nsanje chifukwa cha ine? Ndikanakonda kuti anthu onse a Yehova akhale aneneri ndi kuti Yehova ayike mzimu wake pa iwo!”
30 And Moses returned, with the ancients of Israel, into the camp.
Mose ndi akuluakulu a Israeli aja anabwerera ku msasa.
31 And a wind going out from the Lord, taking quails up beyond the sea brought them, and cast them into the camp for the space of one day’s journey, on every side of the camp round about, and they flew in the air two cubits high above the ground.
Pamenepo Yehova anawutsa mphepo yochokera ku nyanja imene inabweretsa zinziri. Zinzirizo zinagwera pansi kuzungulira msasa, mtunda wa kilomita imodzi mbali zonse ndipo msinkhu wake unali mita imodzi.
32 The people therefore rising up all that day, and night, and the next day, gathered together of quails, he that did least, ten cores: and they dried them round about the camp.
Tsiku limenelo masana onse mpaka usiku ndiponso tsiku lotsatiralo, anthu anatuluka kunja kukatola zinziri. Palibe amene anasonkhanitsa zochepera makilogalamu 1,000 ndipo anaziyanika kuzungulira msasa wonse.
33 As yet the flesh was between their teeth, neither had that kind of meat failed: when behold the wrath of the Lord being provoked against the people, struck them with an exceeding great plague.
Koma pamene anthuwo ankadya nyamayo, asanayimeze nʼkomwe, ukali wa Yehova unafika pa iwo ndipo Iye anawakantha ndi mliri woopsa.
34 And that place was called, The graves of lust: for there they buried the people that had lusted.
Nʼchifukwa chake malowo anawatcha Kibiroti Hatava chifukwa pamenepo anakwirirapo anthu osusuka aja.
35 And departing from the graves of lust, they came unto Haseroth, and abode there.
Kuchoka pa Kibiroti Hatava anthuwo anayenda kupita ku Heziroti ndipo anakhala kumeneko kwa kanthawi.
