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.
Og Folket blev som de, der knurre syndig for Herrens Øren; og Herren hørte det, og hans Vrede optændtes, og Herrens Ild brændte iblandt dem og fortærede nogle i det yderste af Lejren.
2 And when the people cried to Moses, Moses prayed to the Lord, and the fire was swallowed up.
Da raabte Folket til Mose, og Mose bad til Herren, saa blev Ilden dæmpet.
3 And he called the name of that place, The burning: for that the fire of the Lord had been kindled against them.
Og han kaldte det samme Steds Navn Thabeera; thi Herrens Ild brændte iblandt dem.
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?
Og det sammenløbne Folk, som var midt iblandt dem, fik stor Begærlighed; derfor gav ogsaa Israels Børn sig til at græde igen og sagde: Hvo vil give os Kød at æde?
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.
Vi komme i Hu den Fisk, som vi aade for intet i Ægypten, Græskarrene og Melonerne og Porrene og Rødløgene og Hvidløgene;
6 Our soul is dry, our eyes behold nothing else but manna.
men nu forsmægter vor Sjæl; thi her er slet intet uden det Man for vore Øjne.
7 A Now the manna was like coriander seed, of the colour of bdellium.
Men dette Man var som Korianderfrø, og dets Farve var ligesom Bedellions Farve.
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.
Folket løb hid og did og sankede og malede det i Møllerne eller stødte det i Morteren og kogte det i Potten og gjorde deraf Kager; og dets Smag var som Oliesaftens Smag.
9 And when the dew fell in the night upon the camp, the manna also fell with it.
Og naar Duggen faldt over Lejren om Natten, da faldt Man ned derpaa.
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.
Og Mose hørte Folket græde iblandt deres Slægter, hver i sit Telts Dør; og Herrens Vrede optændtes saare; ogsaa var det ondt for Mose Øjne.
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?
Og Mose sagde til Herren: Hvi handlede du saa ilde med din Tjener? og hvi finder jeg ikke Naade for dine Øjne, og du lægger Byrden af hele dette Folk paa mig?
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?
Mon jeg har undfanget alt dette Folk? mon jeg har født det? at du skulde sige til mig: Bær det i din Favn, ligesom en Fosterfader bærer det diende Barn, ind i det Land, som du har tilsvoret dets Fædre.
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.
Hvorfra skal jeg tage Kød at give alt dette Folk? thi de græde for mig og sige: Giv os Kød, at vi kunne æde.
14 I am not able alone to bear all this people, because it is too heavy for me.
Jeg kan ikke ene bære alt dette Folk; thi det er mig for svart.
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.
Og vil du handle saaledes med mig, da slaa mig ihjel, dersom jeg har fundet Naade for dine Øjne, og lad mig ikke se paa min Ulykke.
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,
Og Herren sagde til Mose: Forsamle mig halvfjerdsindstyve Mænd af Israels Ældste, om hvilke du ved, at de ere Folkets Ældste og dets Fogeder; og du skal tage dem hen til Forsamlingens Paulun, og der skulle de fremstille sig med dig.
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.
Og jeg vil komme ned og tale med dig der, og jeg vil tage af den Aand, som er paa dig, og lægge paa dem, at de skulle bære paa Folkets Byrde med dig, og du skal ikke ene bære den.
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:
Og til Folket skal du sige: Helliger eder til i Morgen, saa skulle I æde Kød; thi I have grædt for Herrens Øren og sagt: Hvo vil give os Kød at æde? thi det gik os vel i Ægypten; derfor vil Herren give eder Kød, at I skulle æde.
19 Not for one day, nor two, nor five, nor ten, no nor for twenty.
I skulle ikke æde een Dag og ej to Dage og ej fem Dage og ej ti Dage og ej tyve Dage,
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?
men en Maaneds Dage, indtil det gaar ud af eders Næse og er eder til en Afsky; fordi I have forkastet Herren, som er midt iblandt eder, og have grædt for hans Ansigt og sagt: Hvortil ere vi udgangne af Ægypten?
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?
Og Mose sagde: Seks Hundrede Tusinde Mænd til Fods er dette Folk, som jeg er midt iblandt, og du siger: Jeg vil give dem Kød, og de skulle æde en Maaneds Tid.
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?
Mon der skal slagtes smaat Kvæg og stort Kvæg for dem, at der kan blive nok til dem? mon alle Fiskene i Havet skulle samles til dem, at der kan blive nok til dem?
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.
Og Herren sagde til Mose: Monne da Herrens Haand være forkortet? nu skal du se, om mit Ord skal vederfares dig eller ej.
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.
Og Mose gik ud og talede Herrens Ord til Folket; og han samlede halvfjerdsindstyve Mænd af Folkets Ældste og stillede dem rundt omkring Paulunet.
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.
Da kom Herren ned i Skyen og talede til ham, og han tog af den Aand, som var paa ham, og lagde paa de halvfjerdsindstyve Ældste, og det skete, der Aanden hvilede paa dem, da profeterede de, og de gjorde det ikke siden.
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.
Men der var to Mænd blevne tilbage i Lejren, den enes Navn var Eldad, og den andens Navn Medad, og Aanden hvilede over dem, thi de vare iblandt de opskrevne, men de vare dog ikke udgangne til Paulunet, og de profeterede i Lejren.
27 And when they prophesied in the camp, there ran a young man, and told Moses, saying: Eldad and Medad prophesy in the camp.
Da løb en Dreng og gav Mose tilkende og sagde: Eldad og Medad profetere i Lejren.
28 Forthwith Josue the son of Nun, the minister of Moses, and chosen out of many, said: My lord Moses forbid them.
Da svarede Josva, Nuns Søn, Mose Tjener, en af hans udvalgte, og sagde: Min Herre, Mose! forhindre dem.
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!
Men Mose sagde til ham: Er du nidkær for mig? gid alt Herrens Folk var Profeter, og Herren vilde give sin Aand over dem!
30 And Moses returned, with the ancients of Israel, into the camp.
Og Mose forføjede sig til Lejren, han og de Ældste af Israel.
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.
Da for der et Vejr ud fra Herren og førte Vagtler fra Havet og strøede dem over Lejren, ved en Dags Rejse til den ene og ved en Dags Rejse til den anden Side, trindt omkring Lejren, og ved to Alen højt paa Jorden.
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.
Da stod Folket op hele den Dag og hele den Nat og hele den anden Dag, og de sankede Vagtler; hvo der havde mindst, havde samlet ti Homer; og de bredte dem trindt omkring Lejren.
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.
Kødet var endnu imellem Tænderne paa dem, det var endnu ikke fortæret; da optændtes Herrens Vrede imod Folket, og Herren slog Folket med en saare stor Plage.
34 And that place was called, The graves of lust: for there they buried the people that had lusted.
Og man kaldte det Steds Navn Kibroth-Hattaava, fordi de der begrove Folket, dem, som havde været begærlige.
35 And departing from the graves of lust, they came unto Haseroth, and abode there.
Fra Kibroth-Hattaava rejste Folket til Hazeroth; og de bleve i Hazeroth.
