Numbers 11
1 When the people became murmurers, it displeased the Lord: and the Lord heard it, therefore his wrath was kindled, and the fire of the Lord burnt among them, and consumed the vtmost parte of the hoste.
Sasa watu wakanung'unika juu ya matatizo yao wakati BWANA alipokuwa akiwasikiliza. BWANA akawasikia watu naye akakasirika. Moto kutoka kwa BWANA ukashuka na ukawaka kati yao na kuteketeza baadhi ya kambi kwenye pembe zake.
2 Then the people cryed vnto Moses: and when Moses praied vnto the Lord, the fire was quenched.
Ndipo watu wakamwita Musa kwa nguvu, Naye Musa akamwomba BWANA, na ule moto ukazimika.
3 And he called the name of that place Taberah, because the fire of the Lord burnt among them.
Mahali pale paliitwa Tabera, kwa sababu moto wa BWANA uliwaka kati yao.
4 And a nomber of people that was amog them, fell a lusting, and turned away, and the children of Israel also wept, and saide, Who shall giue vs flesh to eate?
Baadhi ya wageni wakaanza kuweka kambi zao pamoja na wana wa wa Israeli. Walitaka kula chakula kizuri. Kisha wana wa Israeli walipoanza kulia wakisema, “Ni nani atakayetupatia nyama za kula?
5 We remember the fish which we did eat in Egypt for nought, the cucumbers, and the pepons, and the leekes, and the onions, and the garleke.
Tunakumbuka samaki tulizokula bure kule Misri, yale matango, na matikiti maji, na mboga na vitunguu na vitunguu saumu.
6 But now our soule is dryed away, we can see nothing but this Man.
Na sasa hatuna hamu ya kula, kwa sababu tunaona mana tu.
7 (The Man also was as coriander seede, and his colour like the colour of bdelium.
Mana ilifanana na punje ya mtama. ilionekana kama bedola.
8 The people went about and gathered it, and ground it in milles, or beat it in morters, and baked it in a cauldron, and made cakes of it, and the taste of it was like vnto the taste of fresh oyle.
watu wakazunguka kisha wakakusanyika. Wakaisaga, wakaitwanga kwa vinu, wakaitokosa nyunguni, na kuitengeneza mikate. radha yake ilikuwa kama mafuta mapya ya mizeituni.
9 And when the dewe fell downe vpon the hoste in the night, the Man fell with it)
Na umande ulipoanguka kambini usiku ule, na mana ilianguka pia.
10 Then Moses heard the people weepe throughout their families, euery man in the doore of his tent, and the wrath of the Lord was grieuously kindled: also Moses was grieued.
Musa akawasikia watu wakilia katika familia zao, na kila mtu alikuwa kwenye lango la hema yake. BWANA alikasirika sana, na mbele ya macho ya Musa malalamiko yao yalikuwa mabaya.
11 And Moses saide vnto the Lord, Wherefore hast thou vexed thy seruant? and why haue I not found fauour in thy sight, seeing thou hast put the charge of al this people vpon mee?
Musa akasema na BWANA, “Kwa nini umemtendea mtumishi wako vibaya namna hiyo? kwa nini hujapendezwa na mimi? unanifanya kubeba mizigo ya hawa watu.
12 Haue I conceiued al this people? or haue I begotte them, that thou shouldest say vnto me, Cary them in thy bosome (as a nurse beareth the sucking childe) vnto the lande, for the which thou swarest vnto their fathers?
Je, mimi ndiye niliyewatungia mimba hawa watu? Mimi ndiye niliyewazaa kiasi kwamba unaniambia, “wabebe kwa ukaribu vifuani mwako kama baba abebavyo mtoto wake? Je, nitawabeba mpaka kwenye nchi ambayo uliwaahidi mababu zao kuwapa?
13 Where should I haue flesh to giue vnto al this people? for they weepe vnto me, saying, Giue vs flesh that we may eate.
Naweza kupata wapi nyama za kuwapa watu wote hawa? Wanalia mbele zangu na wanasema, 'tupe nyama tule.'
14 I am not able to beare al this people alone, for it is too heauie for me.
Mimi peke yangu siwezi kuwabeba watu wote hawa. Ni wengi sana kwangu.
15 Therefore if thou deale thus with mee, I pray thee, if I haue founde fauour in thy sight, kill me, that I behold not my miserie.
Kwa vile unanitendea hivi, basi uniue, na kama wewe ni mpole kwangu, basi niondolee mzigo huu.”
16 Then the Lord said vnto Moses, Gather vnto me seuetie men of ye Elders of Israel, whome thou knowest, that they are the Elders of the people, and gouernonrs ouer them, and bring them vnto the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and let them stand there with thee,
BWANA akamwambia Musa, “Niletee wazee sabini miongoni mwa Waisraeli. Hakikisha ni wazee na viongozi wa watu. Uwalete kwenye hema ya kukutania wasimame pamoja na wewe.
17 And I will come downe, and talke with thee there, and take of the Spirite, which is vpon thee, and put vpon them, and they shall beare the burthen of the people with thee: so thou shalt not beare it alone.
Nami nitashuka niseme nawe mahali pale. Nitatoa sehemu ya roho iliyo ndani yako na kuwapatia wao. Nao watabeba mzigo wa watu pamoja nawe. na hautaubeba peke yako.
18 Furthermore thou shalt saye vnto the people, Bee sanctified against to morowe, and yee shall eate flesh: for you haue wept in the eares of the Lord, saying, Who shall giue vs flesh to eate? for we were better in Egypt: therefore the Lord will giue you flesh, and ye shall eate.
Waambie watu, 'Jitakaseni ninyi wenyewe, kwa kuwa kesho mtakuala nyama, kwa kuwa mmelia na BWANA amesikia, “Mlipokuwa mkisema kuwa nani atakayetupa nyama tule? Kule Misri tulikula chakula kizuri!” Kwa hiyo BWANA atawapeni nyama, nanyi mtakula nyama.
19 Ye shall not eat one day nor two daies, nor fiue daies, neither ten daies, nor twentie dayes,
Hamtakula nyama kwa siku moja tu, au siku mbili, au siku tano, au siku kumi, au siku ishirini,
20 But a whole moneth, vntill it come out at your nostrels, and bee lothesome vnto you, because ye haue contemned the Lord, which is among you, and haue wept before him, saying, Why came we hither out of Egypt?
Lakini mtakula nyama kwa mwezi mmoja mpaka zitakapowatokea puani. Mpaka zitawakinai kwa sababu mmemkataa BWANA ambaye yuko kati yenu. Mmelia mbele yake. mmesema, “Kwa nini tulitoka Misri?””
21 And Moses saide, Six hundreth thousande footemen are there of the people, among whom I am: and thou saiest, I will giue them flesh, that they may eate a moneth long.
Kisha Musa akasema, “Mimi nina watu 600, 000, na wewe umesema, “Nitawapa nyama mle kwa mwezi mmoja,'
22 Shall the sheepe and the beeues be slaine for them, to finde them? either shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them to suffice them?
Je, tutayachinja haya makundi ya ng'ombe na kondoo ili kuwatosheleza?”
23 And the Lord saide vnto Moses, Is the Lordes hand shortened? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to passe vnto thee, or no.
BWANA akasema na Musa, “Je mkono wangu ni mfupi? Sasa utaona kama maneno yangu ni ya kweli ama sivyo.
24 So Moses went out, and told the people the wordes of the Lord, and gathered seuentie men of the Elders of the people, and set them round about the Tabernacle.
Musa alitoka nje kwenda kuwaambia watu maneno ya BWANA. Aliwakusanya wazee sabini wa watu na kuwaweka kuizunguka hema.
25 Then the Lord came downe in a cloude, and spake vnto him, and tooke of the Spirit that was vpon him, and put it vpon the seuentie Ancient men: and when the Spirit rested vpon them, then they prophecied, and did not cease.
BWANA akashuka chini katika wingu akaongea na Musa. BWANA akachukua sehemu ya roho iliyokuwa kwa Musa na kuiweka kwa wale wazee sabini. Roho alipowashukia, wakaanza kutoa unabii, lakini ilitokea kwenye tukio hilo tu na haikujirudia tena.
26 But there remained two of the men in the hoste: the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad, and the Spirit rested vpon them, (for they were of them that were written, and went not out vnto the Tabernacle) and they prophecied in the hoste.
Watu wawili waitwao Elidadi na Medadi walibaki kambini. Lakini Roho aliwashukia pia. Majina yao yalikuwa yameandikwa kwenye orodha lakini walikuwa hawajaenda hemani. Hata hivyo nao walitoa unabii wakiwa kambini.
27 Then there ranne a yong man, and tolde Moses, and saide, Eldad and Medad doe prophesie in the hoste.
Kijana mmoja huko kambini alikimbia akaenda kumwambia Musa, “Elidadi na Medadi wanatoa unabii kambini.”
28 And Ioshua the sonne of Nun the seruant of Moses one of his yong men answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them.
Joshua mwana wa Nuni, msaidizi wa Musa, ambaye ni miongoni mwa wale aliowachagua akamwambia Musa, “Bwana wangu Musa, wazuie.”
29 But Moses saide vnto him, Enuiest thou for my sake? yea, would God that all the Lordes people were Prophets, and that the Lord woulde put his Spirit vpon them.
Musa akamwambia, “una wivu kwa niaba yangu? Natamani kama watu wote wa BWANA wangekuwa manabii na kwamba angeweka Roho yake juu yao wote!”
30 And Moses returned into the hoste, he and the Elders of Israel.
Kisha Musa na wale wazee wakarudi kambini.
31 Then there went foorth a winde from the Lord, and brought quailes from the Sea, and let them fall vpon the campe, a dayes iourney on this side, and a dayes iourney on the other side, round about the hoste, and they were about two cubites aboue the earth.
Kisha upepo ukavuma kutoka kwa BWANA ukaja na kware kutokea baharini. Wakaanguka karibu na kambi, kiasi cha umbali wa safari ya siku moja upande huu na umbali wa siku moja upande mwingine. Wale kware wakaizunguka kambi kiasi cha mita moja toka uso wa dunia.
32 Then the people arose, al that day, and all the night, and all the next day, and gathered the quailes: he that gathered the least, gathered ten Homers full, and they spred them abroade for their vse round about the hoste.
Watu wakawakusanya hao kware kwa bidii mchana huo wote na usiku huo wote, na mchana wote uliofuatia. Hakuna aliyekusanya pungufu ya mita mbili za uajazo. Wakawaanika kweye ardhi yote hapo kambini.
33 While the flesh was yet betweene their teeth, before it was chewed, euen the wrath of the Lord was kindled against the people, and the Lord smote the people with an exceeding great plague.
Wakati ile nyama ikiwa bado iko kwenye meno yao, wakiwa bado wanatafuna, BWANA akawakasirikia. Akwapiga watu wale kwa gonjwa kubwa sana.
34 So the name of the place was called, Kibroth-hattaauah: for there they buried the people that fell a lusting.
Mahali pale paliitwa Kibroti Hataava, kwa sababu pale walizika watu waliotamani nyama.
35 From Kibroth-hattaauah ye people tooke their iourney to Hazeroth, and abode at Hazeroth.
Kutoka Kibroti Hataava watu wakasafiri hadi Hazeroti, ambapo walipumzika.
