< 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.
Mgbe na-adịghị anya ụmụ Izrel bidoro itamu ntamu nʼihi ihe ike niile ha na-ezute nʼije ha. Ma ntamu a ruru Onyenwe anyị ntị. Nʼihi ya, Onyenwe anyị were iwe dị ukwuu megide ha. Ọkụ sitere nʼebe Onyenwe anyị nọ, ree nʼetiti ha, repịa ụfọdụ ndị bi nʼakụkụ ngwụsị ọmụma ụlọ ikwu ahụ.
2 And when the people cried to Moses, Moses prayed to the Lord, and the fire was swallowed up.
Mgbe nke a mere, ụmụ Izrel tikuru Mosis mkpu akwa. Mosis kpere ekpere nye Onyenwe anyị nʼihi ha, ọkụ ahụ kwụsịkwara.
3 And he called the name of that place, The burning: for that the fire of the Lord had been kindled against them.
Nʼihi ya, a kpọrọ ebe ahụ Tabera, nʼihi ọkụ ahụ si nʼebe Onyenwe anyị nọ ree nʼetiti ha.
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?
Ndị amakekwu so ụmụ Izrel nʼije a malitere itamu ntamu banyere nri ndị ọzọ na-agụ ha agụụ. Nke a mere ka ụmụ Izrel malite ịkwa akwa, na-asị, “A sịkwarị na anyị nwere anụ anyị ga-ata.
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.
Anyị chetara azụ anyị tara nʼIjipt, nke na-adịghị efu anyị ego, ya na kukumba, na melọn, na liik, na ayo na galiik.
6 Our soul is dry, our eyes behold nothing else but manna.
Ma ugbu a, anyị enweghịkwa agụụ iri nri, nʼihi na site nʼụbọchị ruo nʼụbọchị, ọ bụ naanị mánà bụ ihe oriri anyị nwere.”
7 A Now the manna was like coriander seed, of the colour of bdellium.
Mánà dịka mkpụrụ kọrianda, na-acha ka eso osisi kpọrọ nkụ.
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.
Ndị Izrel na-ejegharị na-achịkọta ha. Emesịa, ha na-eji nkume e ji akwọ nri na-akwọri ha. Oge ụfọdụ, ha na-eji ikwe nri sụọ ya. Emesịa, ha na-esi ya esi, maọbụ ghee ya eghe. Ọ na-atọ dịka ihe e ji mmanụ oliv ghee.
9 And when the dew fell in the night upon the camp, the manna also fell with it.
Mánà ndị a na-ada mgbe igirigi dara nʼọmụma ụlọ ikwu nʼabalị.
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.
Mosis nụrụ mkpu akwa ụmụ Izrel niile, nke na-ada nʼezinaụlọ ọbụla nʼakụkụ ọnụ ụzọ ụlọ ikwu ha. Iwe were Onyenwe anyị nke ukwuu. Otu a kwa, obi jọrọ Mosis njọ nke ukwuu.
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?
Mosis jụrụ Onyenwe anyị sị, “Gịnị mere i ji bokwasị ohu gị nsogbu dị otu a nʼisi? Gịnị ka m mere na m ahụtakwaghị amara nʼebe ị nọ, nke mere i ji bukwasị m ibu arọ nke ilekọta ndị a?
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?
Ọ bụ m tụrụ ime ndị a niile? Ọ bụ m mụrụ ha? Gịnị mere i ji si m kuru ha nʼaka m gawa nʼala ahụ ị ṅụrụ nʼiyi inye nna nna ha, dịka m bụ nne nwa na-ekugharị nwantakịrị?
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.
Ebee ka m ga-achọta anụ ga-ezuru igwe mmadụ ndị a? Lee na ha na-akwasa m akwa na-asị m, ‘Nye anyị anụ!’
14 I am not able alone to bear all this people, because it is too heavy for me.
Agaghị m ebulite ibu ịchịkọta ndị a niile nʼonwe m! Ibu a dị m arọ nke ukwuu.
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.
Ọ bụrụ na ị ga-esi otu a meso m mmeso, biko napụ m ndụ m ugbu a, nʼihi na ọnwụ m ga-egosi na m natara amara nʼebe ị nọ. Site nʼọnọdụ a ga-ewetara m mbibi wezuga m.”
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,
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị ya, “Kpọkọta iri ndị okenye ụmụ Izrel asaa, ndị ị maara na ha bụ ndị ndu, na ndị nlekọta ije ozi nʼetiti ụmụ Izrel. Kpọta ha nʼụlọ nzute m ka ha soro gị guzoro.
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.
Aga m abịa nʼebe ahụ gwa gị okwu. Mgbe ahụ kwa, aga m ewere ụfọdụ nʼime Mmụọ m dị nʼime gị tinye nʼime iri ndị ndu asaa ahụ. Ha ga-enyere gị aka ibu ibu arọ nke ịchịkọta ụmụ Izrel. Nʼụzọ dị otu a, ọ gaghị abụkwa ibu dịrị naanị gị ibu.
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:
“Ugbu a, gwa ndị Izrel niile si ha, ‘Doonụ onwe unu nsọ, kwadoonụ maka echi, mgbe unu ga-ata anụ. Onyenwe anyị nụrụ mgbe unu kwara akwa sị, “A sịkwa na anyị nwere anụ anyị ga-ata. Ihe dịrị anyị mma nʼIjipt karịa otu ọ dị ugbu a.”
19 Not for one day, nor two, nor five, nor ten, no nor for twenty.
Anụ unu ga-eri abụghị naanị nke otu ụbọchị, maọbụ ụbọchị abụọ, maọbụ ụbọchị ise, maọbụ iri, ma ọ bụkwanụ iri ụbọchị abụọ!
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?
Kama unu ga-eri ya otu ọnwa zuru ezu, ruo mgbe ọ ga-esi unu nʼimi sọpụta, ghọrọ unu ihe ịsọ oyi. Nʼihi na unu ajụla Onyenwe anyị, onye nọ nʼetiti unu, kwaa akwa nʼihu ya, sị, “Gịnị mere anyị ji site nʼala Ijipt pụta?”’”
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?
Ma Mosis sịrị Onyenwe anyị, “Ọnụọgụgụ ndị ikom dị narị puku isii ndị ji ụkwụ eje ka m nọ nʼetiti ha, ma ị na-asị, ‘Aga m enye ha anụ otu ọnwa.’
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?
Ọ ga-ezuru ha ma ọ bụrụ na e gbuoro ha igwe ehi na atụrụ? Ọ bụ azụ niile nke dị nʼoke osimiri ga-ezuru ha ma egbuo ha niile nye ha?”
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.
Onyenwe anyị sịrị Mosis, “Aka Onyenwe anyị ọ dị mkpụmkpụ? Ugbu a, ị ga-ahụ ma m ga-emezu okwu m, maọbụ na m agaghị emezu ya.”
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.
Ya mere, Mosis pụrụ ga gwa ụmụ Izrel ihe Onyenwe anyị kwuru. Ọ chịkọtara iri ndị okenye asaa ahụ nye ha ọnọdụ gburugburu ụlọ nzute ahụ.
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.
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị rịdatara nʼime igwe ojii. Ya na Mosis kparịtaa ụka. Onyenwe anyị weere ụfọdụ nʼime Mmụọ dị nʼime Mosis, tinye ya nʼime iri ndị okenye asaa ndị ahụ. Mgbe Mmụọ a batara nʼime ha, ha niile buru amụma. Ma ha ebughị amụma gaa nʼihu.
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.
Ma mmadụ abụọ nʼime iri ndị okenye asaa ndị ahụ, Eldad na Medad nọgidere nʼọmụma ụlọ ikwu ha. Ọ bụ ezie na e depụtara aha ha dịka ndị ndu, ma ha esoghị ndị ọzọ gaa nʼụlọ nzute. Ma Mmụọ ahụ bịakwasịrị ha nʼebe ahụ ha nọ. Ha bukwara amụma.
27 And when they prophesied in the camp, there ran a young man, and told Moses, saying: Eldad and Medad prophesy in the camp.
Otu okorobịa gbapụrụ ọsọ gaa kọọrọ Mosis sị ya, “Eldad na Medad na-ebu amụma nʼọmụma ụlọ ikwu ha.”
28 Forthwith Josue the son of Nun, the minister of Moses, and chosen out of many, said: My lord Moses forbid them.
Joshua nwa Nun, onyeozi Mosis site na mgbe ọ bụ okorobịa, gwara Mosis okwu sị ya, “Onyenwe m Mosis, mee ka ndị a kwụsị ibu amụma.”
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!
Ma Mosis zara sị, “Ọ bụ nʼihi ikwochitara m ekworo ka i ji chọọ ka m kwụsị ha? Ọ gaara atọ m ụtọ ma a sị na ndị Onyenwe anyị niile bụ ndị amụma, ndị Onyenwe anyị ga-etinye Mmụọ ya nʼime ha!”
30 And Moses returned, with the ancients of Israel, into the camp.
Mgbe ahụ Mosis na ndị okenye Izrel ndị ahụ niile lọghachiri nʼebe ụlọ ikwu ha dị.
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.
Otu oke ifufe sitere nʼebe Onyenwe anyị nọ bịa si nʼosimiri bute ọtụtụ nnụnụ a na-akpọ kweel. O mere ka nnụnụ ndị a daa nʼebe ụmụ Izrel mara ụlọ ikwu ha, nʼime ogige ya niile. Nnụnụ ndị a fere ihe dịka otu mita site nʼelu ala, nʼakụkụ niile, ruo nʼebe mmadụ pụrụ iji ụkwụ jeruo nʼotu ụbọchị. Ha jupụtakwara ebe niile.
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.
Ya mere ndị Izrel biliri ụbọchị ahụ niile, na nʼabalị ahụ niile, na echi ya niile pụọ ịchịkọta nnụnụ kweel ndị a! Onye gbutere nke nta gbutezuru ihe ọtụtụ homa iri. Ha gbasara ha akụkụ niile nke ogige ọmụma ụlọ ikwu ahụ.
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.
Ma mgbe anụ ndị a ka dị ha nʼọnụ, Onyenwe anyị were iwe dị ukwuu megide ha. O tiri ha nrịa nrịa na-efe efe.
34 And that place was called, The graves of lust: for there they buried the people that had lusted.
Nʼihi nke a, a kpọrọ aha ebe ahụ Kibrọt Hataava, nʼihi na nʼebe ahụ ka e liri ndị Izrel nwụrụ nʼihi oke ọchịchọ nri.
35 And departing from the graves of lust, they came unto Haseroth, and abode there.
Site na Kibrọt Hataava, ndị Izrel biliri njem rute Hazerọt ebe ha nọrọ.
