< 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.
茲に民災難に罹れる者のごとくにヱホバの耳に呟きぬヱホバその怨言を聞て震怒を發したまひければヱホバの火かれらに向ひて燃いでその營の極端を燒り
2 And the people cried unto Moses; and Moses prayed unto the LORD, and the fire abated.
是に於て民モーセに呼はりしがモーセ、ヱホバに祈ければその火鎮りぬ
3 And the name of that place was called Taberah, because the fire of the LORD burnt among them.
ヱホバの火かれらに向ひて燃出たるに因てその處の名をタベラ(燃)と稱ぶ
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!
茲に彼等の中なる衆多の寄集人等慾心を起すイスラエルの子孫もまた再び哭て言ふ誰か我らに肉を與へて食しめんか
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;
憶ひ出るに我等エジプトにありし時は魚黄瓜水瓜韮葱靑蒜等を心のままに食へり
6 but now our soul is dried away; there is nothing at all; we have nought save this manna to look to.' —
然るに今は我儕の精神枯衰ふ我らの目の前にはこのマナの外何も有ざるなりと
7 Now the manna was like coriander seed, and the appearance thereof as the appearance of bdellium.
マナは莞荽の實のごとくにしてその色はブドラクの色のごとし
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.
民行巡りてこれを斂め石磨にひき或は臼に搗てこれを釜の中に煮て餅となせりその味は油菓子の味のごとし
9 And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it. —
夜にいりて露營に降る時にマナその上に降れり
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.
モーセ聞に民の家々の者おのおのその天幕の門口に哭く是におひてヱホバ烈しく怒を發したまふこの事またモーセの目にも惡く見ゆ
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?
モーセすなはちヱホバに言けるは汝なんぞ僕を惡くしたまふ乎いかなれば我汝の前に恩を獲ずして汝かく此すべての民をわが任となして我に負せたまふや
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?
この總體の民は我が姙みし者ならんや我が生し者ならんや然るに汝なんぞ我に慈父が乳哺子を抱くがごとくに彼らを懐に抱きて汝が昔日かれらの先祖等に誓ひたまひし地に至れと言たまふや
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.
我何處より肉を得てこの總體の民に與へんや彼等は我にむかひて哭き我等に肉を與へて食しめよと言なり
14 I am not able to bear all this people myself alone, because it is too heavy for me.
我は一人にてはこの總體の民をわが任として負ことあたはず是は我には重きに過ればなり
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.'
我もし汝の前に恩を獲ば請ふ斯我を爲んよりは寧ろ直に我を殺したまへ我をしてわが困苦を見せしめたまふ勿れ
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.
是においてヱホバ、モーセに言たまはくイスラエルの老人の中民の長老たり有司たるを汝が知るところの者七十人を我前に集め集會の幕屋に携きたりて其處に汝とともに立しめよ
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.
我降りて其處にて汝と言はん又われ汝の上にあるところの霊を彼等にも分ち與へん彼等汝とともに民の任を負ひ汝をして只一人にて之を負ふこと無らしむべし
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.
汝また民に告て言へ汝等身を潔めて明日を待て必ず肉を食ふことを得ん汝等ヱホバの耳に哭て誰か我等に肉を與へて食しめん我らエジプトにありし時は却て善りしと言たればヱホバなんぢらに肉を與へて食しめたまふべし
19 Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days;
汝等がこれを食ふは一日や二日や五日や十日や二十日にはあらずして
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?'
一月におよび遂に汝らの鼻より出るにいたらん汝等これに饜はつべし是なんぢら己等の中にいますヱホバを軽んじてその前に哭き我等何とてエジプトより出しやと言たればなり
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!
モーセ言けるは我が偕にをる民は歩卒のみにても六十萬あり然るに汝は我かれらに肉を與へて一月の間食しめんと言たまふ
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?'
羊と牛の群を宰るとも彼等を飽しむることを得んや海の魚をことごとく集むるとも彼等を飽しむることを得んや
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.'
ヱホバ、モーセに言たまはくヱホバの手短からんや吾言の成と然らざるとは汝今これを見るあらん
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.
是に於てモーセ出きたりてヱホバの言を民に告げ民の長老七十人を集めて幕屋の四圍に立しめけるに
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.
ヱホバ雲の中にありて降りモーセと言ひモーセのうへにある霊をもてその長老七十人にも分ち與へたまひしがその霊かれらの上にやどりしかば彼等預言せり但し此後はかさねて爲ざりき
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.
時に彼等の中なる二人の者營に止まり居るその一人の名はエルダデといひ一人の名はメダデと曰ふ霊またかれらの上にもやどれり彼らは其名を録されたる者なりしが幕屋に往ざりければ營の中にて預言をなせり
27 And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said: 'Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.'
時に一人の少者奔りきたりモーセに告てエルダデとメダデ營の中にて預言すと言ければ
28 And Joshua the son of Nun, the minister of Moses from his youth up, answered and said: 'My lord Moses, shut them in.'
その少時よりしてモーセの從者たりしヌンの子ヨシユアこたへて曰けるは吾主モーセこれを禁めたまヘ
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!'
モーセこれに言けるは汝わがために媢嫉を起すやヱホバの民の皆預言者とならんことまたヱホバのその霊を之に降したまはんことこそ願しけれ
30 And Moses withdrew into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
斯てモーセ、イスラエルの長老等とともに營に返れり
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.
茲にヱホバの許より風おこり出て海の方より鶉を吹きたりこれをして營の周圍に堕しめたりその堕ひろがれること營の四周此旁も大約一日路彼旁も大約一日路地の表より高きこと大約二キユビトなりき
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.
民すなはち起あがりてその日終日その夜終夜またその次の日終日鶉を拾ひ斂めけるが拾ひ斂むることの至て寡き者も十ホメルほど拾ひ斂めたり皆これを營の周圍に陳べおけり
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.
肉なほ歯のあひだにありていまだ食つくさざるにヱホバ民にむかひて怒を發しこれを撃ておほいに滅ぼしたまへり
34 And the name of that place was called Kibroth-hattaavah, because there they buried the people that lusted.
是をもてその處の名をキブロテハッタワ(慾心の墓)とよべり其は慾心をおこせる人々を其處に埋たればなり
35 From Kibroth-hattaavah the people journeyed unto Hazeroth; and they abode at Hazeroth.
斯て民キブロテハツタワよりハゼロテに進みゆきてハゼロテに居ぬ
