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.
Pea naʻe lāunga ʻae kakai, pea houhau ai ʻa Sihova; pea naʻe fanongo ki ai ʻa Sihova; pea naʻe tutu hono houhau, pea naʻe vela ʻae afi ʻa Sihova ʻiate kinautolu, pea naʻe ʻai ʻae fakaʻauha ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻoe ʻapitanga.
2 And when the people cried to Moses, Moses prayed to the Lord, and the fire was swallowed up.
Pea naʻe tangi ʻae kakai kia Mōsese pea ʻi he lotu ʻa Mōsese kia Sihova, ne mate ai ʻae afi.
3 And he called the name of that place, The burning: for that the fire of the Lord had been kindled against them.
Pea naʻa ne fakahingoa ʻae potu ko ia ko Tapela: koeʻuhi naʻe vela ai ʻae afi ʻa Sihova ʻiate kinautolu.
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?
Pea ko e kakai ʻiate kinautolu mei he potu kehekehe naʻa nau tō ki he holi fakasino: pea naʻe toe tangi foki ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, “Ko hai te ne foaki kiate kitautolu ha kakano ke tau kai?
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.
ʻOku tau manatu ki he ika, ʻaia naʻa tau kai faʻiteliha pe ʻi ʻIsipite; mo e kukumipa, mo e meleni, pea mo e liki, mo e onioni, pea mo e kāliki:
6 Our soul is dry, our eyes behold nothing else but manna.
Ka ko eni kuo fakamahamaha ʻetau moʻui ke ʻosi; ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻi hotau ʻao, ka ko e mana ni.”
7 A Now the manna was like coriander seed, of the colour of bdellium.
Pea naʻe hangē ko e tengaʻi kolianita ʻae mana, pea ko hono lanu naʻe hangē ko e lanu ʻoe mataʻitofe.
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.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae kakai, ʻo tānaki ia, pea naʻa nau momosi ia ʻi he ngaahi meʻa momosi, pe tuki ia ʻi ha ipu, pea naʻe tunu ia ʻi he ngaahi ipu kapa, pea naʻe ngaohi ʻaki ia ʻae ngaahi foʻi ma: pea ko hono ifo naʻe tatau mo e ifo ʻoe lolo foʻou,
9 And when the dew fell in the night upon the camp, the manna also fell with it.
Pea ʻi heʻene tō ʻae hahau ʻi he poʻuli ki he ʻapitanga, naʻe tō ʻae mana ki ai.
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.
Pea naʻe toki fanongo ʻa Mōsese ki he tangi ʻae kakai ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga, ʻae tangata taki taha ʻi he matapā ʻo hono fale fehikitaki: pea naʻe vela ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova ʻo lahi; pea naʻe ʻita foki ʻa Mōsese.
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?
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese kia Sihova, “Ko e hā kuo ke fakamamahiʻi ai ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki? Pea ko e hā kuo ʻikai te u ʻiloa ai ʻae ʻofa ʻi ho ʻao, koeʻuhi kuo ke tuku ʻae kavenga ʻae kakai ni kotoa pē kiate au?
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?
He ko au koā naʻe tuʻituʻia ʻi he kakai ni kotoa pē? Pe ko au naʻaku fakatupu ʻakinautolu? He kuo ke folofola mai kiate au, Ke ke fua ʻakinautolu ʻi ho fatafata, ʻo hangē ko e tamai ʻoku ne tauhi, ʻo fua ʻae tamasiʻi ʻoku huhu, ki he fonua ʻaia naʻa ke fuakava ʻaki ki heʻenau ngaahi tamai?
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.
Pea te u maʻu mei fē ʻeau ha kakano ke foaki ki he kakai ni kotoa pē? He ʻoku nau tangi kiate au, ʻonau pehē, Foaki mai ha kakano maʻamautolu koeʻuhi ke mau kai.
14 I am not able alone to bear all this people, because it is too heavy for me.
ʻOku ʻikai te u mālohi ke u fua tokotaha pe ʻae kakai ni, koeʻuhi ʻoku nau mamafa fau kiate au.
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.
Pea kapau te ke fai pehē kiate au, ʻoku ou kole atu ki hoʻo ʻafio ke ke tāmateʻi leva au mei ho nima, ʻo kapau ʻoku ou ʻiloa ʻae ʻofa ʻi ho ʻao; kaeʻoua ʻe tuku au ke u mamata ki hoku mamahi.”
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,
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese, “Tānaki mai kiate au ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko fitungofulu ʻi he kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻakinautolu ʻoku ke ʻilo ko e kau mātuʻa ʻi he kakai, pea mo e kau matāpule ʻiate kinautolu; pea ke ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, koeʻuhi kenau tuʻu fakataha ʻi ai mo koe.
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.
Pea te u ʻalu hifo ʻo ta alea ʻi ai mo koe: pea te u toʻo ʻae laumālie ʻoku ʻiate koe, ʻo tuku ia kiate kinautolu; pea tenau fua fakataha mo ko e ʻae kavenga ʻae kakai, ʻe ʻikai te ke fua tokotaha pe ia
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:
Pea te ke pehē ki he kakai, Fakamaʻa ʻakimoutolu ki he ʻapongipongi, pea te mou kai kakano: he kuo mou tangi ki he fofonga ʻo Sihova, ʻo pehē, Ko hai te ne foaki kiate kimautolu ha kakano ke mau kai; he naʻa mau lelei ʻi ʻIsipite: pea ko ia ʻe foaki ai ʻe Sihova ʻae kakano kiate kimoutolu, pea te mou kai.
19 Not for one day, nor two, nor five, nor ten, no nor for twenty.
ʻE ʻikai te mou kai ia ʻi he ʻaho pe taha, pe ʻi he ʻaho ʻe ua, pe ʻi he ʻaho ʻe nima, pe ʻi he ʻaho ʻe hongofulu, pe ʻi he ʻaho ʻe uofulu;
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?
Ka ko e māhina kātoa, ke ʻoua ke haʻu ia ʻi homou avaʻi ihu, pea ʻe fakalielia ia kiate kimoutolu: koeʻuhi naʻa mou fehiʻa kia Sihova ʻaia ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu, pea kuo mou tangi ʻi hono ʻao, ʻo pehē, Ko e hā ne mau haʻu ai mei ʻIsipite?”
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?
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese, “Ko e kakai ʻoku ou nofo ʻi ai, ʻoku nau toko ono kilu ʻae kau tangata fononga; pea kuo ke pehē, Te u foaki ʻae kakano kiate kinautolu, kenau kai ai ʻi he māhina ʻe taha.
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?
ʻE tāmateʻi ʻae fanga sipi, pea mo e fanga manu lalahi maʻanautolu, kenau mākona ai? Pe tānaki fakataha ʻae ika kotoa pē ʻi he tahi maʻanautolu, kenau mākona ai?”
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese, “He kuo fakanounou ʻae nima ʻo Sihova? Ko eni te ke mamata, pe hoko ʻeku lea kiate ko e pe ʻikai.”
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.
Pea naʻe ʻalu kituʻa ʻa Mōsese, ʻo ne fakahā ki he kakai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova, pea naʻa ne tānaki ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko fitungofulu ʻi he kau mātuʻa ʻoe kakai, pea naʻa ne tuku ʻakinautolu ke tuʻu takatakai ʻi he fale fehikitaki.
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.
Pea naʻe hāʻele hifo ʻa Sihova ʻi he ʻao, ʻo ne folofola kiate ia, pea ne toʻo ʻae laumālie naʻe ʻiate ia, ʻo ne foaki ia ki he kau mātuʻa ʻe toko fitungofulu: pea naʻe pehē, ʻi he hoko ʻae laumālie kiate kinautolu, naʻa nau kikite, pea naʻe ʻikai tuku.
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.
Ka naʻe nofo ʻae ongo tangata ʻe toko ua ʻi he ʻapitanga, ko e hingoa ʻoe tokotaha ko ʻElitati, pea ko e hingoa ʻoe tokotaha ko Metati: pea naʻe hoko ʻae laumālie kiate kinaua; pea naʻa na ʻiate kinautolu kuo tohi, ka naʻe ʻikai te na ō ki he fale fehikitaki: ka naʻa na kikite ʻi he ʻapitanga.
27 And when they prophesied in the camp, there ran a young man, and told Moses, saying: Eldad and Medad prophesy in the camp.
Pea naʻe lele ʻae tangata talavou, ʻo ne pehē kia Mōsese, “ʻOku kikite ʻa ʻElitati mo Metati ʻi he ʻapitanga.”
28 Forthwith Josue the son of Nun, the minister of Moses, and chosen out of many, said: My lord Moses forbid them.
Pea naʻe lea ʻa Siosiua ko e foha ʻo Nuni, ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Mōsese, ko e tokotaha ʻi heʻene kau tangata talavou, ʻo pehē, “Ko ʻeku ʻeiki ko Mōsese ke ke taʻofi ʻakinaua.”
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!
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese kiate ia, “ʻOku ke meheka koeʻuhi ko au? ʻOku ʻamusiaange ʻeau ki he ʻOtua ke kikite ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻa Sihova, pea ke tuku ʻe Sihova ʻa hono laumālie kiate kinautolu.”
30 And Moses returned, with the ancients of Israel, into the camp.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Mōsese ki he ʻapitanga, ʻaia mo e kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli.
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.
Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae matangi meia Sihova, ʻo ne ʻomi ʻae fanga kueili mei he tahi, pea naʻe tuku ia ke tō ʻo ofi ki he ʻapitanga, ʻo hangē ko e ngataʻanga ʻoe fononga ʻi he ʻaho ʻe taha ki he potu toʻomataʻu, pea hangē ko e ngataʻanga ʻoe fononga ʻi he ʻaho ʻe taha ki he potu toʻohema, ʻo takatakai ʻae ʻapitanga, pea naʻe hangē ko e hanga ʻe fā hono māʻolunga mei he funga kelekele.
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.
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae kakai ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ko ia, pea mo e pō kotoa pē ko ia, pea mo e ʻaho kotoa naʻe feholoi, pea naʻa nau tānaki ʻae fanga kueili: ko ia naʻe siʻi ʻene tānaki naʻa ne tānaki ʻae oma ʻe hongofulu: pea naʻa nau fakamafola ʻakinautolu ʻo takatakai ʻi he ʻapitanga.
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.
Pea ʻi he kei ʻi honau nifo ʻae kakano ʻi he teʻeki ai ke lamu, naʻe vela ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova ki he kakai, pea naʻe taaʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae kakai ʻaki ʻae mahaki fakaʻauha lahi ʻaupito.
34 And that place was called, The graves of lust: for there they buried the people that had lusted.
Pea naʻa ne fakahingoa ʻae potu ko ia ko Kipiloti-Hateva: koeʻuhi naʻa nau tanu ʻi ai ʻae kakai ʻaia naʻe holi kovi.
35 And departing from the graves of lust, they came unto Haseroth, and abode there.
Pea naʻe fononga atu ʻae kakai mei Kipiloti-Hateva ki Heseloti; pea naʻa nau nofo ʻi Heseloti.
