< 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.
Na rĩrĩ, andũ a Isiraeli magĩteta nĩ ũndũ wa moritũ mao, nakuo gũteta kwao gũkĩiguuo nĩ Jehova, na rĩrĩa aamaiguire, agĩakanwo nĩ marakara, naguo mwaki ũkiuma kũrĩ Jehova, ũgĩakana gatagatĩ kao, na ũgĩcina ndeere imwe cia kambĩ.
2 And the people cried unto Moses; and Moses prayed unto the LORD, and the fire abated.
Rĩrĩa andũ acio maakaĩire Musa, Musa akĩhooya Jehova, naguo mwaki ũcio ũkĩhora.
3 And the name of that place was called Taberah, because the fire of the LORD burnt among them.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio handũ hau hagĩĩtwo Tabera, tondũ mwaki ũcio woimĩte kũrĩ Jehova nĩwakanĩte gatagatĩ kao.
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!
Kĩrĩndĩ kĩrĩa kĩarũmanĩrĩire nao makiuma bũrũri wa Misiri gĩkĩambĩrĩria kwĩrirĩria irio cia mĩthemba ĩngĩ, na o rĩngĩ andũ a Isiraeli makĩambĩrĩria kũrĩra, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Naarĩ korwo tũrĩ na nyama cia kũrĩa!
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;
Nĩtũkũririkana thamaki iria twarĩĩaga kũu bũrũri wa Misiri tũtekũgũra, o na marenge ma mĩthemba mĩthemba, na itũngũrũ cia mahuti, na itũngũrũ iria ndungu, o na itũngũrũ thumu.
6 but now our soul is dried away; there is nothing at all; we have nought save this manna to look to.' —
No rĩu, tũtirĩ na wendo wa kũrĩa; na tũtirĩ kĩndũ o nakĩ tuonaga, tiga o mana maya moiki!”
7 Now the manna was like coriander seed, and the appearance thereof as the appearance of bdellium.
Mana macio maahaanaga ta mbegũ cia mũtĩ ũrĩa wĩtagwo korianda, na mũhianĩre wamo watariĩ ta bedola.
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.
Andũ maathiiaga makamongania, magacooka makamathĩa na gĩthĩi kĩa moko, kana makamahũrĩra ndĩrĩ-inĩ na mũũthĩ. Maamarugaga na nyũngũ kana magathondeka tũmĩgate. Na maacamaga ta kĩndũ gĩthondeketwo na maguta ma mũtamaiyũ.
9 And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it. —
Rĩrĩa kwagĩa ime ũtukũ kũu kambĩ-inĩ, mana macio makagũanĩra narĩo.
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.
Musa nĩaiguire andũ a nyũmba ciothe makĩrĩra, o mũndũ arĩ mũromo-inĩ wa hema yake. Nake Jehova nĩarakarire mũno makĩria, na Musa agĩthĩĩnĩka.
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?
Akĩũria Jehova atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte ũrehere ndungata yaku thĩĩna ũyũ? Nĩ atĩa njĩkĩte ũkaaga gũgũkenia nĩguo ũnjigĩrĩre mũrigo wa andũ aya othe?
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?
Kaĩ arĩ niĩ ithe wao? Kaĩ arĩ niĩ ndaamaciarire? Nĩ kĩĩ kĩratũma ũnjĩĩre ndĩmakuue na moko makwa, ta ũrĩa mũreri wa mwana akuuaga kaana ka rũkenge, ndĩmatware bũrũri ũrĩa werĩire maithe mao ma tene na mwĩhĩtwa?
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.
Ingĩruta nyama cia kũhe andũ aya othe kũ? Marandĩrĩra makiugaga atĩrĩ, ‘Tũhe nyama tũrĩe!’
14 I am not able to bear all this people myself alone, because it is too heavy for me.
Ndingĩhota gũkuua andũ aya othe ndĩ nyiki; mũrigo ũyũ nĩ mũritũ mũno kũrĩ niĩ.
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.'
Angĩkorwo ũguo nĩguo ũkũnjĩka-rĩ, njũraga o ro rĩu, angĩkorwo nĩnjĩtĩkĩrĩkĩte nĩwe, na ndũkareke nyone mwanangĩko wakwa mwene.”
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.
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ: “Ndehere athuuri mĩrongo mũgwanja a Isiraeli arĩa wee ũũĩ atĩ nĩ atongoria na anene thĩinĩ wa andũ aya. Ũmarehe Hema-inĩ-ya-Gũtũnganwo, nĩguo marũgame hau hamwe nawe.
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.
Niĩ na niĩ nĩngũikũrũka ngwarĩrie ho, njoe Roho ũrĩa ũrĩ naguo na ndĩmekĩre Roho ũcio. Nao nĩmarĩgũteithagia gũkuua mũrigo wa andũ aya nĩgeetha ndũkaũkuuage ũrĩ wiki.
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.
“Ningĩ wĩre andũ atĩrĩ, ‘Mwĩtheriei, mwĩhaarĩrie nĩ ũndũ wa rũciũ, rĩrĩa mũkaarĩa nyama. Jehova nĩaramũiguire rĩrĩa mũrarĩraga, mũkiugaga atĩrĩ, “Naarĩ korwo tũrĩ na nyama cia kũrĩa! Maũndũ maitũ maarĩ mega rĩrĩa twarĩ bũrũri wa Misiri!” Rĩu-rĩ, Jehova nĩekũmũhe nyama, na nĩmũgũcirĩa.
19 Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days;
Na rĩrĩ, mũtigũcirĩa o mũthenya ũmwe, kana mĩthenya ĩĩrĩ, kana ĩtano, kana ikũmi, kana mĩthenya mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ,
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?'
no mũgũcirĩa mweri mũgima, o nginya ciume na maniũrũ manyu, na inyuĩ mũcinyire, nĩ ũndũ nĩmũregete Jehova ũrĩa ũrĩ hamwe na inyuĩ, na mũkarĩra mũrĩ mbere yake, mũkiugaga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩatũmire tuume bũrũri wa Misiri?”’”
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!
No Musa akĩĩra Jehova atĩrĩ, “Andũ arĩa ndĩ nao haha nĩ ngiri magana matandatũ arĩa maretwara na magũrũ, nawe woiga atĩ, ‘Nĩngũmahe nyama cia kũrĩa mweri mũgima!’
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?'
Andũ aya o na mangĩthĩnjĩrwo ndũũru cia mbũri na cia ngʼombe-rĩ, no imaigane? O na mangĩtegerwo thamaki ciothe cia iria-inĩ-rĩ, no imaigane?”
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.'
Jehova agĩcookeria Musa atĩrĩ, “Anga hinya wa guoko kwa Jehova nĩũnyiihĩte? Rĩu wee, nĩũkuona kana ũrĩa njugĩte nĩũkahingio kana ndũkahingio.”
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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa akiuma nja, akĩĩra andũ acio ũrĩa Jehova oigĩte. Nake agĩcookanĩrĩria athuuri amwe ao mĩrongo mũgwanja, akĩmarũgamia marigiicĩirie Hema ĩyo.
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.
Nake Jehova agĩikũrũka na itu akĩaria na Musa, akĩoya Roho ũrĩa warĩ thĩinĩ wa Musa, na agĩĩkĩra Roho ũcio thĩinĩ wa athuuri acio mĩrongo mũgwanja. Rĩrĩa Roho okire igũrũ rĩao-rĩ, makĩratha mohoro, no matiacookire gwĩka ũguo hĩndĩ ĩngĩ.
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.
No rĩrĩ, andũ eerĩ, nĩo Elidadi na Medadi, nĩmatigĩtwo kambĩ. Nao nĩmandĩkĩtwo hamwe na athuuri acio angĩ no matiathiĩte Hema-inĩ ĩyo. No rĩrĩ, Roho nĩ okire igũrũ rĩao, nao makĩratha mohoro marĩ kũu kambĩ.
27 And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said: 'Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.'
Mwanake ũmwe agĩtengʼera akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Elidadi na Medadi nĩmararatha mohoro kũu kambĩ.”
28 And Joshua the son of Nun, the minister of Moses from his youth up, answered and said: 'My lord Moses, shut them in.'
Joshua mũrũ wa Nuni, ũrĩa wateithagia Musa kuuma arĩ mũnini, akĩarĩria Musa, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Musa, mwathi wakwa, makaanie!”
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!'
No Musa akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ ũkũigua ũiru nĩ ũndũ wakwa? Niĩ ingĩenda andũ othe a Jehova makorwo marĩ anabii, na atĩ Jehova amekĩre Roho wake!”
30 And Moses withdrew into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
Thuutha ũcio Musa na athuuri acio a Isiraeli magĩcooka kambĩ.
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.
Na rĩrĩ, rũhuho rũkiuma harĩ Jehova, rũkĩrehe tũmakia-arũme kuuma iria-inĩ. Rũgĩtũgũithia tũthiũrũrũkĩirie mĩena yothe ya kambĩ buti ithatũ kuuma thĩ, handũ ha itĩĩna rĩa rũgendo rwa mũthenya mũgima mbarĩ ciothe.
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.
Mũthenya ũcio wothe na ũtukũ, na mũthenya ũcio ũngĩ wothe, andũ acio makiumagara makĩũngania tũmakia-arũme. Gũtirĩ mũndũ wonganirie thuutha wa homeri ikũmi. Ningĩ magĩtwanĩka gũthiũrũrũkĩria kambĩ yothe.
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.
No rĩrĩ, rĩrĩa nyama icio ciarĩ tũnua-inĩ twao, o na itarĩ ndanuke-rĩ, marakara ma Jehova magĩakanĩra andũ acio, akĩmahũũra na mũthiro mũnene.
34 And the name of that place was called Kibroth-hattaavah, because there they buried the people that lusted.
Tondũ ũcio handũ hau hagĩĩtwo Kibirothu-Hataava, nĩ ũndũ hau nĩho maathikire andũ arĩa maaiguĩte thuti ya irio ingĩ.
35 From Kibroth-hattaavah the people journeyed unto Hazeroth; and they abode at Hazeroth.
Kuuma Kibirothu-Hataava, andũ acio nĩmathiire rũgendo, magĩkinya Hazerothu, magĩikara kuo.
