< 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.
A ka takiamuamu te iwi, ka korero kino ki nga taringa o Ihowa: a, no te rongonga o Ihowa, ka mura tona riri; a ka ka te ahi a Ihowa i roto i a ratou, a pau ake te hunga i nga pito ki waho o te puni.
2 The people cried to Moses for help. He prayed to the Lord and the fire subsided.
Na ka tangi te iwi ki a Mohi; a ka inoi a Mohi ki a Ihowa, na, ka mate te ahi.
3 So that place was named Taberah, because the fire from the Lord burned them.
A huaina iho te ingoa o tena wahi ko Tapera: no te kaanga hoki o te ahi a Ihowa i roto i a ratou.
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?
Na ka minamina nga whakauru i roto i a ratou: me nga tama hoki a Iharaira i tangi ano, i mea, Ma wai e homai he kikokiko hei kai ma tatou?
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.
E mahara ana tatou ki nga ika i kainga noatia e tatou ki Ihipa; ki nga kukama, ki nga merengi, ki nga riki, ki nga aniana, me te karika:
6 We're fading away here! The only thing we ever see is this manna!”
Ko tenei ia, kua maroke o tatou wairua; kahore rawa nei tetahi mea: kahore he mea ke hei tirohanga ma tatou ko tenei mana anake.
7 Manna looked like coriander seeds, light in color like gum resin.
Na ko te rite o te mana kei te pua korianara; ko tona kara kei te kara teriuma.
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.
I kopikopiko te iwi ki te kohi, a hurihia ana e ratou ki nga mira, i tukia ranei ki te kumete, a tunua ana e ratou ki te kohua, hanga ana hoki hei keke: ko tona reka kei to te hinu hou.
9 When the dew came down on the camp at night the manna would come down with it.
A, i te taunga iho o te haunui ki te puni i te po, i tau ano te mana ki runga.
10 Moses heard all the families crying at the entrance to their tents. The Lord became very angry, and Moses was also upset.
A i rongo a Mohi i te iwi e tangi ana, puta noa i o ratou hapu, tenei, tenei, i te whatitoka o tona teneti: a he nui te muranga o te riri o Ihowa; a i kino hoki ki ta Mohi.
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?
Na ka mea a Mohi ki a Ihowa, He aha koe i whakatupu kino ai i tau pononga? he aha ahau te manakohia ai e koe, i whakawaha ai e koe tenei iwi katoa ki ahau?
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?
He uri ianei noku tenei iwi katoa? i whanau ranei ratou i ahau, i mea ai koe ki ahau, Hikitia ki tou uma, kia rite ki ta te matu atawhai, ki tana hiki i te potiki, ki te whenua i oatitia e koe ki o ratou matua?
13 Where am I supposed to get meat for all of them? They keep on complaining to me, ‘Get us some meat to eat!’
No hea aku kikokiko hei hoatutanga maku ki tenei iwi katoa? e tangi mai ana hoki ratou ki ahau, e mea mai ana, Homai he kikokiko ki matou hei kai ma matou.
14 I can't go on carrying all these people by myself—it's just too much.
E kore tenei iwi katoa e taea e ahau anake te waha, he taimaha rawa maku.
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.”
A ki te penei tau mahi ki ahau, tena, whakamatea rawatia ahau, ki te mea kua manakohia mai ahau e koe; kaua hoki ahau e kite i te he moku.
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.
Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Huihuia mai ki ahau kia whitu tekau o nga kaumatua o Iharaira, au i mohio ai he kaumatua no te iwi, he rangatira no ratou; me kawe mai ratou ki te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, me tu tahi koutou ki reira.
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.
A maku e haere iho, e korero ki a koe ki reira: me tongo ano e ahau tetahi wahi o te wairua i runga i a koe, ka hoatu ki runga ki a ratou; a ko ratou hei hoa mou ki te waha i te pikaunga, ara i te iwi; kei waha e koe anake.
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.
Me ki atu hoki e koe ki te iwi, Whakatapu i a koutou mo apopo a ka kai kikokiko koutou: kua tangi na hoki koutou ki nga taringa o Ihowa, kua mea, Ma wai e homai he kikokiko hei kai ma matou? he pai hoki nga mea i a matou i Ihipa: mo reira ka hom ai e Ihowa he kikokiko ki a koutou, a ka kai koutou.
19 You're going to eat it, not for just a day or two, and not for five or ten or twenty days.
E kore e kotahi te ra e kai ai koutou, e kore ano hoki e rua nga ra, e kore e rima nga ra, e kore e tekau nga ra, e kore e rua tekau nga ra;
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?’”
Engari kia pau te marama, a puta noa i o koutou ihu, a ngaruru iho koutou: mo koutou i whakahawea ki a Ihowa e noho nei i waenganui i a koutou, i tangi hoki ki tona aroaro, i mea, He aha tatou i haere mai ai i Ihipa?
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’?
Ko te iwi kei roto nei ahau i a ratou e ono rau mano, he hunga haere raro, a kua mea mai nei koe, Ka hoatu e ahau he kikokiko ki a ratou, a kia kotahi tino marama e kai ai ratou.
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?”
Me patu ranei nga hipi me nga kau ma ratou, kia rato ai ratou? me kohi mai ranei nga ika katoa o te moana ma ratou, kia rato ai ratou?
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!”
Ano ra ko Ihowa ki a Mohi, Kua mutua ranei te ringa o Ihowa? ka kite koe aianei he pono ranei taku kupu ki a koe, kahore ranei.
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.
Na ka puta a Mohi ki waho, a korerotia ana e ia nga kupu a Ihowa ki te iwi, a huihuia ana e ia e whitu tekau o nga kaumatua o te iwi, a whakaturia ana ki tetahi taha, ki tetahi taha o te tapenakara.
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.
Na ko te hekenga iho o Ihowa i roto i te kapua, ko te korerotanga hoki ki a ia, na ka tangohia e ia tetahi wahi o te wairua i runga i a ia, a hoatu ana ki nga kaumatua e whitu tekau: a i te taunga iho o te wairua ki a ratou, ka poropiti ratou, a kore ake i pera i muri.
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.)
A tokorua i mahue ki te puni, ko Ererara te ingoa o tetahi, ko Merara te ingoa o tetahi: na ko te taunga iho o te wairua ki runga ki a raua; no te hunga hoki raua i tuhituhia, otiia kihai i haere ki te tapenakara: na ka poropiti raua i roto i te puni.
27 A young lad ran and told Moses, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.”
Na ka oma tetahi taitama ki te korero ki a Mohi, a ka mea, Kei te poropiti a Ererara raua ko Merara i roto i te puni.
28 Joshua, son of Nun, who had been Moses' assistant since he was young, reacted, saying, “Moses, my lord, you have to stop them!”
Na ko te ohonga o te tangata a Mohi, o Hohua tama a Nunu, ko tetahi hoki ia o ana taitamariki, ka mea, E toku ariki, e Mohi, riria raua.
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!”
Ano ra ko Mohi ki a ia, He whakaaro ki ahau i hae ai koe? he oranga ngakau ra me i poropiti katoa te iwi o Ihowa, me i tukua iho hoki e Ihowa tona wairua ki a ratou.
30 Then Moses went back to the camp with the elders of Israel.
Na ka haere a Mohi ki roto ki te puni, a ia me nga kaumatua o Iharaira.
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.
Na ka puta he hau i a Ihowa, a kawea ana mai nga koitareke i te moana, kua maka ki te taha o te puni, kia kotahi pea te ra e haere ai i tetahi taha, kia kotahi pea hoki te ra e haere ai i tera taha, a tawhio noa te puni, me te mea ano e rua what ianga te teitei i runga i te mata o te whenua.
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.
Na ka tu te iwi a pau katoa taua ra, taua po katoa hoki, me te ra katoa hoki i te aonga ake, ki te kohikohi i nga koitareke: kotahi tekau nga homa a te tangata nana te kohinga iti: a horahorangia noatia atu ana e ratou hei kai ma ratou, a tawhio noa te puni.
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.
A, i te mea kei o ratou niho ano te kokokiko, i te mea kahore ano i ngaua noatia, na ka mura te riri o Ihowa ki te iwi, a whiua ana te iwi e Ihowa ki tetahi whiu nui rawa atu.
34 They named that place Kibroth-hattaavah, because that was where they buried the people who had these intense food cravings.
Na huaina iho e ia te ingoa o taua wahi ko Kipiroto Hataawa; no te mea i tanumia e ratou ki reira te hunga i minamina.
35 Then they moved on from Kibroth-hattaavah to Hazeroth, where they stayed for some time.
Na ka turia atu e te iwi i Kipiroto Hataawa ki Hateroto; a noho ana i Hateroto.
