Numbers 11
1 It wasn't long before the people started to complain about how much they were suffering. When the Lord heard what they were saying, he became angry. Fire from the Lord burned them, destroying some on the edge of the camp.
Men Folket knurrede højlydt for HERREN over deres usle Kaar; og da HERREN hørte det, blussede hans Vrede op, og HERRENS Ild brød løs iblandt dem og aad om sig i den yderste Del af Lejren.
2 The people cried to Moses for help. He prayed to the Lord and the fire subsided.
Da raabte Folket til Moses, og Moses gik i Forbøn hos HERREN. Saa dæmpedes Ilden.
3 So that place was named Taberah, because the fire from the Lord burned them.
Derfor kaldte man dette Sted Tab'era, fordi HERRENS Ild brød løs iblandt dem.
4 A group of troublemakers among them had such intense food cravings they affected the Israelites who started crying again, asking “Who's going to get us some meat to eat?
Men den sammenløbne Hob, som fandtes iblandt dem, blev lysten. Saa tog ogsaa Israeliterne til at græde igen, og de sagde: »Kunde vi dog faa Kød at spise!
5 We think back to all the fish we ate in Egypt that didn't cost us anything, as well as the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions, and garlic.
Vi mindes Fiskene, vi fik at spise for intet i Ægypten, og Agurkerne, Vandmelonerne, Porrerne, Hvidløgene og Skalotterne,
6 We're fading away here! The only thing we ever see is this manna!”
og nu vansmægter vi; her er hverken det ene eller det andet, vi ser aldrig andet end Manna.«
7 Manna looked like coriander seeds, light in color like gum resin.
Mannaen lignede Korianderfrø og saa ud som Bdellium.
8 The people would go out and collect it, grind it up in a mill or crush it in a mortar. Then they would boil it in a pot and make it into flatbread. It tasted like pastries made with the best olive oil.
Folket gik rundt og sankede den op; derpaa malede de den i Haandkværne eller stødte den i Mortere; saa kogte de den i Gryder og lavede Kager deraf; den smagte da som Bagværk tillavet i Olie.
9 When the dew came down on the camp at night the manna would come down with it.
Naar Duggen om Natten faldt over Lejren, faldt ogsaa Mannaen ned over den.
10 Moses heard all the families crying at the entrance to their tents. The Lord became very angry, and Moses was also upset.
Og Moses hørte, hvorledes alle Folkets Slægter græd, enhver ved Indgangen til sit Telt; da blussede HERRENS Vrede voldsomt op, og det vakte ogsaa Moses's Mishag.
11 He asked the Lord, “Why have you made things so tough for me, your servant? Why are you so unhappy with me that you have placed on me the heavy responsibility for all these people?
Da sagde Moses til HERREN: »Hvorfor har du handlet saa ilde med din Tjener, og hvorfor har jeg ikke fundet Naade for dine Øjne, siden du har lagt hele dette Folk som en Byrde paa mig?
12 Are they my children? Did I give birth to them, so you could tell me, ‘Hold them close to your chest like a nurse carrying a baby’ and take them to the land you promised to give to their forefathers?
Mon det er mig, der har undfanget hele dette Folk, mon det er mig, der har født det, siden du forlanger, at jeg i min Favn skal bære det hen til det Land, du tilsvor dets Fædre, som en Fosterfader bærer det diende Barn?
13 Where am I supposed to get meat for all of them? They keep on complaining to me, ‘Get us some meat to eat!’
Hvor skal jeg gaa hen og skaffe hele dette Folk Kød? Thi de græder rundt om mig og siger: Skaf os Kød at spise?
14 I can't go on carrying all these people by myself—it's just too much.
Jeg kan ikke ene bære hele dette Folk, det er mig for tungt.
15 If this is the way you're going to treat me, then please just kill me now so I don't have to face how depressed I've become. Please grant me this one request.”
Hvis du vil handle saaledes med mig, saa dræb mig hellere, om jeg har fundet Naade for dine Øjne, saa at jeg ikke skal være nødt til at opleve saadan Elendighed!«
16 The Lord told Moses, “Bring before me seventy Israelite elders who you know are repected as leaders by the people Take them to the Tent of Meeting. They will stand there with you.
HERREN svarede Moses: »Kald mig halvfjerdsindstyve af Israels Ældste sammen, Mænd, som du ved hører til Folkets Ældste og Tilsynsmænd, før dem hen til Aabenbaringsteltet og lad dem stille sig op hos dig der.
17 I will come down and talk with you there. I will take some of the Spirit you have and give it to them. They will take some of the responsibility for the people so you won't have to bear it alone.
Saa vil jeg stige ned og tale med dig der, og jeg vil tage noget af den Aand, der er over dig, og lade den komme over dem, for at de kan hjælpe dig med at bære Folkets Byrde, saa du ikke ene skal bære den.
18 Tell the people: Purify yourselves, for tomorrow you'll have meat to eat, because you were complaining and the Lord heard you saying, ‘Who's going to get us some meat to eat? We were better off in Egypt!’ So the Lord is going to provide you with meat to eat.
Men til Folket skal du sige: Helliger eder til i Morgen, saa skal I faa Kød at spise! I har jo grædt højlydt for HERREN og sagt: Kunde vi dog faa Kød at spise! Vi havde det jo bedre i Ægypten! Derfor vil HERREN give eder Kød at spise;
19 You're going to eat it, not for just a day or two, and not for five or ten or twenty days.
og ikke blot een eller to eller fem eller ti eller tyve Dage skal I spise det,
20 You're going to eat it for a whole month until it makes you vomit and it comes out through your nostrils, because you have rejected the Lord who is right here with you, complaining to him by saying, ‘Why on earth did we ever leave Egypt?’”
men en hel Maaned igennem, indtil det staar eder ud af Næsen, og I væmmes derved, fordi I har ringeagtet HERREN, der er i eders Midte, og grædt for hans Aasyn og sagt: Hvorfor drog vi dog ud af Ægypten!«
21 But Moses replied, “Here I am with 600,000 people and you're telling me, ‘I'm going to give them meat and they'll eat it for a month’?
Moses svarede: »600 000 Fodfolk tæller det Folk, jeg har om mig, og du siger: Jeg vil skaffe dem Kød, saa de har nok at spise en hel Maaned!
22 Even if all our flocks and herds were slaughtered, would that be enough for them? Even if all the fish in the sea were caught, would that be enough for them?”
Kan der slagtes saa meget Smaakvæg og Hornkvæg til dem, at det kan slaa til, eller kan alle Fisk i Havet samles sammen til dem, saa det kan slaa til?«
23 “Doesn't the Lord have the power to do that?” the Lord responded. “Now you're going to find out whether what I've said will happen or not!”
HERREN svarede Moses: »Er HERRENS Arm for kort? Nu skal du faa at se, om mit Ord gaar i Opfyldelse for dig eller ej.«
24 Moses went and shared with the people what the Lord said. He summoned seventy elders of the people and had them stand around the tent.
Da gik Moses ud og kundgjorde Folket HERRENS Ord. Og han samlede halvfjerdsindstyve af Folkets Ældste og lod dem stille sig rundt om Teltet.
25 Then the Lord came down and talked to him. The Lord took some of the Spirit Moses had and gave it to them. They prophesied, but this didn't ever happen again.
Saa steg HERREN ned i Skyen og talede til ham; og han tog noget af den Aand, der var over ham, og lod den komme over de halvfjerdsindstyve Ældste, og da Aanden hvilede over dem, kom de i profetisk Henrykkelse noget, som ikke siden hændtes dem.
26 However, two men named Eldad and Medad had stayed behind in the camp. The Spirit came on them too. (They had been put on the list of the seventy elders, but they hadn't gone to the tent. But they prophesied where they were in the camp anyway.)
Imidlertid var to Mænd blevet tilbage i Lejren, den ene hed Eldad, den anden Medad. Ogsaa over dem kom Aanden, thi de hørte til dem, der var optegnede, men de var ikke gaaet ud til Teltet, og nu kom de i profetisk Henrykkelse inde i Lejren.
27 A young lad ran and told Moses, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.”
Da løb en ung Mand ud og fortalte Moses det og sagde: »Eldad og Medad er kommet i profetisk Henrykkelse inde i Lejren.«
28 Joshua, son of Nun, who had been Moses' assistant since he was young, reacted, saying, “Moses, my lord, you have to stop them!”
Josua, Nuns Søn, der fra sin Ungdom af havde gaaet Moses til Haande, sagde da: »Min Herre Moses, stands dem i det!«
29 “Are you jealous for my reputation?” Moses replied. “I wish that every one of the Lord's people were prophets and that the Lord would give his Spirit to all of them!”
Men Moses sagde til ham: »Er du skinsyg paa mine Vegne? Gid alt HERRENS Folk var Profeter, gid HERREN vilde lade sin Aand komme over dem!«
30 Then Moses went back to the camp with the elders of Israel.
Derpaa trak Moses sig tilbage til Lejren med Israels Ældste.
31 The Lord sent a wind that blew quail in from the sea and deposited them near the camp. They covered the ground to a depth of about two cubits and extended for a day's journey in every direction from the camp.
Da rejste der sig paa HERRENS Bud en Vind, som førte Vagtler med sig fra Havet og drev dem hen over Lejren saa langt som en Dagsrejse paa begge Sider af Lejren i en Højde af et Par Alen over Jorden.
32 All through that day and night, and all through the next day, the people went on collecting the quail. Everyone collected at least ten homers, and they spread them out to dry all around the camp.
Saa gav Folket sig hele den Dag, hele Natten og hele den næste Dag til at samle Vagtlerne op; det mindste, nogen samlede, var ti Homer. Og de bredte dem ud til Tørring rundt om Lejren.
33 But while the people were still biting into the meat, before they even chewed it down, the Lord showed his burning anger against them, killing some of them with a severe disease.
Medens Kødet endnu var imellem Tænderne paa dem, før det endnu var spist, blussede HERRENS Vrede op imod Folket, og HERREN lod en meget haard Straf ramme Folket.
34 They named that place Kibroth-hattaavah, because that was where they buried the people who had these intense food cravings.
Og man kaldte Stedet Kibrot-Hatta'ava, thi der blev de lystne Folk jordet.
35 Then they moved on from Kibroth-hattaavah to Hazeroth, where they stayed for some time.
Fra Kibrot-Hatta'ava drog Folket til Hazerot, og de gjorde Holdt i Hazerot.
