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.
I stade narod zlobno mrmljati u Jahvine uši. Kad to ču Jahve, planu gnjevom. Jahvin oganj izbi među njima i spali jedan kraj tabora.
2 And when the people cried to Moses, Moses prayed to the Lord, and the fire was swallowed up.
Narod zavapi Mojsiju, a Mojsije se pomoli Jahvi i oganj se utiša.
3 And he called the name of that place, The burning: for that the fire of the Lord had been kindled against them.
Ono se mjesto prozva Tabera, jer je Jahvin oganj ondje zaplamtio na njih.
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?
Svjetinu koja se oko njih skupila obuzme pohlepa za jelom. Izraelci se opet upuste u jadikovanje govoreći: “Tko će nas nasititi mesom?
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.
Sjećamo se kako smo u Egiptu jeli badava ribe, krastavaca, dinje, prÓase, luka i češnjaka.
6 Our soul is dry, our eyes behold nothing else but manna.
Sad nam život vene; nema ničega, osim mÓane, pred našim očima.”
7 A Now the manna was like coriander seed, of the colour of bdellium.
MÓana je bila kao zrno korijandera i nalik na bdelij.
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.
Narod išao naokolo, skupljao je, a onda tro kamenom na kamenoj ploči ili stÓupao u stÓupi. Kuhao ju je u loncu i od nje pravio kolače. Okus joj bijaše kao okus kolača zgotovljena u ulju.
9 And when the dew fell in the night upon the camp, the manna also fell with it.
Kad bi se noću spuštala rosa po taborištu, s njome bi se spustila i mÓana.
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.
Mojsije je slušao kako jadikuje narod u svojim obiteljima, svatko na ulazu u svoj šator. Gnjev Jahvin žestoko planu i Mojsije se ražalosti.
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?
“Zašto zlostavljaš slugu svoga?” - upravi Mojsije riječ Jahvi. “Zašto nisam stekao milost u tvojim očima kad si na me uprtio teret svega ovog naroda?
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?
Zar je od mene potekao sav ovaj narod? Zar sam ga ja rodio, kad veliš: 'Nosi ga u svome krilu, kao što dojilja nosi dojenče, u zemlju što sam je pod zakletvom obećao njihovim očevima!'
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.
Odakle meni meso da ga dam svemu ovom puku koji plače oko mene govoreći: 'Daj nam mesa da jedemo!'
14 I am not able alone to bear all this people, because it is too heavy for me.
Ja sam ne mogu nositi sav ovaj narod. Preteško je to za me.
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.
Ako ćeš ovako sa mnom postupati, radije me ubij, ako sam stekao milost u tvojim očima, da više ne gledam svoga jada.”
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,
Onda Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Skupi mi sedamdeset muževa između starješina izraelskih za koje znaš da su starješine narodu i njegovi nadglednici. Dovedi ih u Šator sastanka pa neka ondje zauzmu svoja mjesta s tobom.
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.
Ja ću sići i ondje s tobom govoriti; uzet ću nešto duha koji je na tebi i stavit ću ga na njih. Tako će s tobom nositi teret naroda da ga ne nosiš sam.
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:
Nadalje, kaži narodu: Za sutra se posvetite i jest ćete mesa, jer ste mrmljali u uši Jahvi govoreći: 'Tko će nas nasititi mesa? U Egiptu nam je bilo dobro.' Jahve će vam, dakle, dati mesa da jedete.
19 Not for one day, nor two, nor five, nor ten, no nor for twenty.
Nećete ga jesti samo jedan dan, ni dva dana, ni pet dana, ni deset dana, ni dvadeset dana,
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?
nego cio mjesec, sve dok vam ne izbije na nosnice i ne ogadi vam se, jer ste odbacili Jahvu koji je među vama mrmljajući pred njim riječima: 'Zašto smo uopće odlazili iz Egipta!'”
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?
“Naroda u kojemu se nalazim”, odgovori Mojsije, “ima šest stotina tisuća pješaka, a ti kažeš: 'Mesa ću im dati da jedu mjesec dana.'
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?
Može li im se naklati sitne i krupne stoke da im dostane? Mogu li im se sve ribe iz mora zgrnuti da im bude dosta?”
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.
Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Zar je ruka Jahvina tako kratka? Sad ćeš vidjeti hoće li se obistiniti moja riječ ili neće.”
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.
Mojsije izađe i kaza narodu Jahvine riječi. Onda skupi sedamdeset muževa između narodnih starješina i smjesti ih oko Šatora.
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.
Jahve siđe u oblaku i poče s njim govoriti. Zatim uze od duha koji bijaše na njemu i stavi na onu sedamdesetoricu starješina. Kad duh počinu na njima, počeše prorokovati, ali to više nikad ne učiniše.
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.
Dvojica ostadoše u taboru. Jednome je bilo ime Eldad, a drugome Medad. Duh je i na njima počinuo - bili su i oni među upisanima, premda nisu došli u tabor - te počeše u taboru prorokovati.
27 And when they prophesied in the camp, there ran a young man, and told Moses, saying: Eldad and Medad prophesy in the camp.
Neki mladić otrča te javi Mojsiju: “Eldad i Medad”, reče, “prorokuju u taboru!”
28 Forthwith Josue the son of Nun, the minister of Moses, and chosen out of many, said: My lord Moses forbid them.
Jošua, sin Nunov, koji je posluživao Mojsija od svoje mladosti, prozbori i reče: “Mojsije, gospodaru moj, ušutkaj ih!”
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!
Mojsije mu odgovori: “Zar si zavidan zbog mene! Oh, kad bi sav narod Jahvin postao prorok! Kad bi Jahve na njih izlio svoga duha!”
30 And Moses returned, with the ancients of Israel, into the camp.
Potom se Mojsije i starješine izraelske vrate u tabor.
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.
Tada Jahve zapovjedi te zapuhnu vjetar i nanese prepelice od mora i sasu ih na tabor, na dan hoda i s ove i s one strane tabora, na dva lakta iznad zemlje.
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.
Narod je ustao te je toga cijeloga dana, svu noć i cio sutrašnji dan skupljao prepelice. Onaj tko ih je skupio najmanje imao je deset homera.
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.
Zatim ih razastriješe oko tabora. Meso još bijaše među njihovim zubima - još ga nisu prožvakali - kadli planu Jahvin gnjev protiv naroda: Jahve udari narod strašnim pomorom.
34 And that place was called, The graves of lust: for there they buried the people that had lusted.
Ono se mjesto prozva Kibrot Hataava, jer su ondje pokopali one koji se bijahu polakomili.
35 And departing from the graves of lust, they came unto Haseroth, and abode there.
Iz Kibrot Hataave narod se zaputi u Haserot. I utabori se u Haserotu.
