Numbers 11
1 And the people were as murmurers, speaking evil in the ears of the LORD; and when the LORD heard it, His anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among them, and devoured in the uttermost part of the camp.
眾百姓發怨言，他們的惡語達到耶和華的耳中。耶和華聽見了就怒氣發作，使火在他們中間焚燒，直燒到營的邊界。
2 And the people cried unto Moses; and Moses prayed unto the LORD, and the fire abated.
百姓向摩西哀求，摩西祈求耶和華，火就熄了。
3 And the name of that place was called Taberah, because the fire of the LORD burnt among them.
那地方便叫做他備拉，因為耶和華的火燒在他們中間。
4 And the mixed multitude that was among them fell a lusting; and the children of Israel also wept on their part, and said: 'Would that we were given flesh to eat!
他們中間的閒雜人大起貪慾的心；以色列人又哭號說：「誰給我們肉吃呢？
5 We remember the fish, which we were wont to eat in Egypt for nought; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic;
我們記得，在埃及的時候不花錢就吃魚，也記得有黃瓜、西瓜、韭菜、誄、蒜。
6 but now our soul is dried away; there is nothing at all; we have nought save this manna to look to.' —
現在我們的心血枯竭了，除這嗎哪以外，在我們眼前並沒有別的東西。」
7 Now the manna was like coriander seed, and the appearance thereof as the appearance of bdellium.
這嗎哪彷彿芫荽子，又好像珍珠。
8 The people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in mortars, and seethed it in pots, and made cakes of it; and the taste of it was as the taste of a cake baked with oil.
百姓周圍行走，把嗎哪收起來，或用磨推，或用臼搗，煮在鍋中，又做成餅，滋味好像新油。
9 And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it. —
夜間露水降在營中，嗎哪也隨着降下。）
10 And Moses heard the people weeping, family by family, every man at the door of his tent; and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly; and Moses was displeased.
摩西聽見百姓各在各家的帳棚門口哭號。耶和華的怒氣便大發作，摩西就不喜悅。
11 And Moses said unto the LORD: 'Wherefore hast Thou dealt ill with Thy servant? and wherefore have I not found favour in Thy sight, that Thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?
摩西對耶和華說：「你為何苦待僕人？我為何不在你眼前蒙恩，竟把這管理百姓的重任加在我身上呢？
12 Have I conceived all this people? have I brought them forth, that Thou shouldest say unto me: Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing-father carrieth the sucking child, unto the land which Thou didst swear unto their fathers?
這百姓豈是我懷的胎，豈是我生下來的呢？你竟對我說：『把他們抱在懷裏，如養育之父抱吃奶的孩子，直抱到你起誓應許給他們祖宗的地去。』
13 Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they trouble me with their weeping, saying: Give us flesh, that we may eat.
我從哪裏得肉給這百姓吃呢？他們都向我哭號說：『你給我們肉吃吧！』
14 I am not able to bear all this people myself alone, because it is too heavy for me.
管理這百姓的責任太重了，我獨自擔當不起。
15 And if Thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray Thee, out of hand, if I have found favour in Thy sight; and let me not look upon my wretchedness.'
你這樣待我，我若在你眼前蒙恩，求你立時將我殺了，不叫我見自己的苦情。」
16 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Gather unto Me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them unto the tent of meeting, that they may stand there with thee.
耶和華對摩西說：「你從以色列的長老中招聚七十個人，就是你所知道作百姓的長老和官長的，到我這裏來，領他們到會幕前，使他們和你一同站立。
17 And I will come down and speak with thee there; and I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone.
我要在那裏降臨，與你說話，也要把降於你身上的靈分賜他們，他們就和你同當這管百姓的重任，免得你獨自擔當。
18 And say thou unto the people: Sanctify yourselves against to-morrow, and ye shall eat flesh; for ye have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying: Would that we were given flesh to eat! for it was well with us in Egypt; therefore the LORD will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.
又要對百姓說：『你們應當自潔，預備明天吃肉，因為你們哭號說：誰給我們肉吃！我們在埃及很好。這聲音達到了耶和華的耳中，所以他必給你們肉吃。
19 Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days;
你們不止吃一天、兩天、五天、十天、二十天，
20 but a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you; because that ye have rejected the LORD who is among you, and have troubled Him with weeping, saying: Why, now, came we forth out of Egypt?'
要吃一個整月，甚至肉從你們鼻孔裏噴出來，使你們厭惡了，因為你們厭棄住在你們中間的耶和華，在他面前哭號說：我們為何出了埃及呢！』」
21 And Moses said: 'The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand men on foot; and yet Thou hast said: I will give them flesh, that they may eat a whole month!
摩西對耶和華說：「這與我同住的百姓、步行的男人有六十萬，你還說：『我要把肉給他們，使他們可以吃一個整月。』
22 If flocks and herds be slain for them, will they suffice them? or if all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, will they suffice them?'
難道給他們宰了羊群牛群，或是把海中所有的魚都聚了來，就夠他們吃嗎？」
23 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Is the LORD'S hand waxed short? now shalt thou see whether My word shall come to pass unto thee or not.'
耶和華對摩西說：「耶和華的膀臂豈是縮短了嗎？現在要看我的話向你應驗不應驗。」
24 And Moses went out, and told the people the words of the LORD; and he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them round about the Tent.
摩西出去，將耶和華的話告訴百姓，又招聚百姓的長老中七十個人來，使他們站在會幕的四圍。
25 And the LORD came down in the cloud, and spoke unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and put it upon the seventy elders; and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, but they did so no more.
耶和華在雲中降臨，對摩西說話，把降與他身上的靈分賜那七十個長老。靈停在他們身上的時候，他們就受感說話，以後卻沒有再說。
26 But there remained two men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad; and the spirit rested upon them; and they were of them that were recorded, but had not gone out unto the Tent; and they prophesied in the camp.
但有兩個人仍在營裏，一個名叫伊利達，一個名叫米達。他們本是在那些被錄的人中，卻沒有到會幕那裏去。靈停在他們身上，他們就在營裏說預言。
27 And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said: 'Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.'
有個少年人跑來告訴摩西說：「伊利達、米達在營裏說預言。」
28 And Joshua the son of Nun, the minister of Moses from his youth up, answered and said: 'My lord Moses, shut them in.'
摩西的幫手，嫩的兒子約書亞，就是摩西所揀選的一個人，說：「請我主摩西禁止他們。」
29 And Moses said unto him: 'Art thou jealous for my sake? would that all the LORD'S people were prophets, that the LORD would put His spirit upon them!'
摩西對他說：「你為我的緣故嫉妒人嗎？惟願耶和華的百姓都受感說話！願耶和華把他的靈降在他們身上！」
30 And Moses withdrew into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
於是，摩西和以色列的長老都回到營裏去。
31 And there went forth a wind from the LORD, and brought across quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, about a day's journey on this side, and a day's journey on the other side, round about the camp, and about two cubits above the face of the earth.
有風從耶和華那裏颳起，把鵪鶉由海面颳來，飛散在營邊和營的四圍；這邊約有一天的路程，那邊約有一天的路程，離地面約有二肘。
32 And the people rose up all that day, and all the night, and all the next day, and gathered the quails; he that gathered least gathered ten heaps; and they spread them all abroad for themselves round about the camp.
百姓起來，終日終夜，並次日一整天，捕取鵪鶉；至少的也取了十賀梅珥，為自己擺列在營的四圍。
33 While the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the anger of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the LORD smote the people with a very great plague.
肉在他們牙齒之間尚未嚼爛，耶和華的怒氣就向他們發作，用最重的災殃擊殺了他們。
34 And the name of that place was called Kibroth-hattaavah, because there they buried the people that lusted.
那地方便叫做基博羅‧哈他瓦，因為他們在那裏葬埋那起貪慾之心的人。
35 From Kibroth-hattaavah the people journeyed unto Hazeroth; and they abode at Hazeroth.
百姓從基博羅‧哈他瓦走到哈洗錄，就住在哈洗錄。
