Numbers 11
1 And it came to pass that as the people complained in a manner displeasing in the ears of the Lord, the Lord heard it, and his anger was kindled, and the fire of the Lord burnt among them, and consumed at the uttermost part of the camp.
Men Folket knurrede højlydt for HERREN over deres usle Kaar; og da HERREN hørte det, blussede hans Vrede op, og HERRENS Ild brød løs iblandt dem og aad om sig i den yderste Del af Lejren.
2 And the people then cried unto Moses; and Moses prayed unto the Lord, and the fire disappeared.
Da raabte Folket til Moses, og Moses gik i Forbøn hos HERREN. Saa dæmpedes Ilden.
3 And he called the name of the place Tab'erah; because the fire of the Lord had burnt among them.
Derfor kaldte man dette Sted Tab'era, fordi HERRENS Ild brød løs iblandt dem.
4 And the mixed multitude that was among them felt a lustful longing: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who will give us flesh to eat?
Men den sammenløbne Hob, som fandtes iblandt dem, blev lysten. Saa tog ogsaa Israeliterne til at græde igen, og de sagde: »Kunde vi dog faa Kød at spise!
5 We remember the fish, which we could eat in Egypt for naught; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic;
Vi mindes Fiskene, vi fik at spise for intet i Ægypten, og Agurkerne, Vandmelonerne, Porrerne, Hvidløgene og Skalotterne,
6 But now our soul is faint: there is nothing at all, only to the manna are our eyes [directed].
og nu vansmægter vi; her er hverken det ene eller det andet, vi ser aldrig andet end Manna.«
7 But the manna was like coriander-seed, and its color as the color of the bdellium.
Mannaen lignede Korianderfrø og saa ud som Bdellium.
8 The people went about and gathered it, and ground it in a mill, or pounded it in a mortar, and boiled it in a pot, or made cakes of it: and its taste was as the taste of cakes mixed with oil.
Folket gik rundt og sankede den op; derpaa malede de den i Haandkværne eller stødte den i Mortere; saa kogte de den i Gryder og lavede Kager deraf; den smagte da som Bagværk tillavet i Olie.
9 And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it.
Naar Duggen om Natten faldt over Lejren, faldt ogsaa Mannaen ned over den.
10 And Moses heard the people weep according to their families, every man at the door of his tent: and the anger of the Lord was kindled greatly; and in the eyes of Moses also was it displeasing.
Og Moses hørte, hvorledes alle Folkets Slægter græd, enhver ved Indgangen til sit Telt; da blussede HERRENS Vrede voldsomt op, og det vakte ogsaa Moses's Mishag.
11 And Moses said unto the Lord, Wherefore hast thou done evil to thy servant? and wherefore have I not found favor in thy eyes, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?
Da sagde Moses til HERREN: »Hvorfor har du handlet saa ilde med din Tjener, og hvorfor har jeg ikke fundet Naade for dine Øjne, siden du har lagt hele dette Folk som en Byrde paa mig?
12 Was it I who have conceived all this people? or was it I who have begotten them? that thou shouldst say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father beareth the sucking child, unto the land which thou hast sworn unto their fathers?
Mon det er mig, der har undfanget hele dette Folk, mon det er mig, der har født det, siden du forlanger, at jeg i min Favn skal bære det hen til det Land, du tilsvor dets Fædre, som en Fosterfader bærer det diende Barn?
13 Whence shall I obtain flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep around me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.
Hvor skal jeg gaa hen og skaffe hele dette Folk Kød? Thi de græder rundt om mig og siger: Skaf os Kød at spise?
14 I am not able by myself alone to bear all this people, because it is too heavy for me.
Jeg kan ikke ene bære hele dette Folk, det er mig for tungt.
15 And if thou wilt thus deal with me, then slay me, I pray thee, at once, if I have found favor in thy eyes: that I may not see my wretchedness.
Hvis du vil handle saaledes med mig, saa dræb mig hellere, om jeg har fundet Naade for dine Øjne, saa at jeg ikke skal være nødt til at opleve saadan Elendighed!«
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 its officers; and take them unto the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall stand there with thee.
HERREN svarede Moses: »Kald mig halvfjerdsindstyve af Israels Ældste sammen, Mænd, som du ved hører til Folkets Ældste og Tilsynsmænd, før dem hen til Aabenbaringsteltet og lad dem stille sig op hos dig der.
17 And I will come down and speak with thee there: and I will take some of the spirit which is upon thee, and I will put it upon them; and they shall bear with thee the burden of the people, and thou shalt not bear it by thyself alone.
Saa vil jeg stige ned og tale med dig der, og jeg vil tage noget af den Aand, der er over dig, og lade den komme over dem, for at de kan hjælpe dig med at bære Folkets Byrde, saa du ikke ene skal bære den.
18 And unto the people shalt thou say, Hold yourselves ready against tomorrow, that ye may eat flesh; for ye have wept in the ears of the Lord, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was better with us in Egypt: thus will the Lord give you flesh, and ye shall eat.
Men til Folket skal du sige: Helliger eder til i Morgen, saa skal I faa Kød at spise! I har jo grædt højlydt for HERREN og sagt: Kunde vi dog faa Kød at spise! Vi havde det jo bedre i Ægypten! Derfor vil HERREN give eder Kød at spise;
19 Not one day shall ye eat, nor two days, nor five days, nor ten days, nor twenty days;
og ikke blot een eller to eller fem eller ti eller tyve Dage skal I spise det,
20 But up to a full month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it become loathsome unto you; because that ye have despised the Lord who is in the midst of you, and ye have wept before him, saying, Why did we come forth out of Egypt?
men en hel Maaned igennem, indtil det staar eder ud af Næsen, og I væmmes derved, fordi I har ringeagtet HERREN, der er i eders Midte, og grædt for hans Aasyn og sagt: Hvorfor drog vi dog ud af Ægypten!«
21 And Moses said, Six hundred thousand men on foot is the people, in the midst of whom I am; and yet thou hast said, Flesh will I give them, that they may eat a whole month.
Moses svarede: »600 000 Fodfolk tæller det Folk, jeg har om mig, og du siger: Jeg vil skaffe dem Kød, saa de har nok at spise en hel Maaned!
22 Shall flocks and herds be slain for them, that they may suffice for them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, that they may suffice for them?
Kan der slagtes saa meget Smaakvæg og Hornkvæg til dem, at det kan slaa til, eller kan alle Fisk i Havet samles sammen til dem, saa det kan slaa til?«
23 And the Lord said unto Moses, Should the Lord's hand be too short? now shalt thou see whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not.
HERREN svarede Moses: »Er HERRENS Arm for kort? Nu skal du faa at se, om mit Ord gaar i Opfyldelse for dig eller ej.«
24 And Moses went out, and spoke to the people the words of the Lord; and he assembled seventy men from the elders of the people, and placed them round about the tabernacle.
Da gik Moses ud og kundgjorde Folket HERRENS Ord. Og han samlede halvfjerdsindstyve af Folkets Ældste og lod dem stille sig rundt om Teltet.
25 And the Lord came down in a cloud and spoke unto him; and he took some of the spirit that was upon him, and put it upon the seventy men, the elders: and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, but they did not so any more.
Saa steg HERREN ned i Skyen og talede til ham; og han tog noget af den Aand, der var over ham, og lod den komme over de halvfjerdsindstyve Ældste, og da Aanden hvilede over dem, kom de i profetisk Henrykkelse noget, som ikke siden hændtes dem.
26 And 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 those that were written down, but they had not gone out unto the tabernacle: and they prophesied in the camp.
Imidlertid var to Mænd blevet tilbage i Lejren, den ene hed Eldad, den anden Medad. Ogsaa over dem kom Aanden, thi de hørte til dem, der var optegnede, men de var ikke gaaet ud til Teltet, og nu kom de i profetisk Henrykkelse inde i Lejren.
27 And there ran a young man, and told to Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.
Da løb en ung Mand ud og fortalte Moses det og sagde: »Eldad og Medad er kommet i profetisk Henrykkelse inde i Lejren.«
28 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses from his youth, answered and said, My Lord Moses, forbid them.
Josua, Nuns Søn, der fra sin Ungdom af havde gaaet Moses til Haande, sagde da: »Min Herre Moses, stands dem i det!«
29 And Moses said unto him, Art thou zealous for my sake? And oh that one might render all the people of the Lord prophets, that the Lord would put his spirit upon them!
Men Moses sagde til ham: »Er du skinsyg paa mine Vegne? Gid alt HERRENS Folk var Profeter, gid HERREN vilde lade sin Aand komme over dem!«
30 And Moses retired back into thy camp, he with the elders of Israel.
Derpaa trak Moses sig tilbage til Lejren med Israels Ældste.
31 And a wind went forth from the Lord, and drove up quails from the sea, and scattered them over the camp, about a day's journey on this side, and about a day's journey on the other side, round about the camp, and about two cubits high over the face of the earth.
Da rejste der sig paa HERRENS Bud en Vind, som førte Vagtler med sig fra Havet og drev dem hen over Lejren saa langt som en Dagsrejse paa begge Sider af Lejren i en Højde af et Par Alen over Jorden.
32 And the people arose all that day, and all that night, and all the following day, and they gathered the quails; he that had taken the least, had gathered ten chomers: and they spread them out for themselves round about the camp.
Saa gav Folket sig hele den Dag, hele Natten og hele den næste Dag til at samle Vagtlerne op; det mindste, nogen samlede, var ti Homer. Og de bredte dem ud til Tørring rundt om Lejren.
33 The flesh was yet between their teeth, it was not yet chewed: when the wrath of the Lord was kindled against the people, and the Lord smote among the people a very great plague.
Medens Kødet endnu var imellem Tænderne paa dem, før det endnu var spist, blussede HERRENS Vrede op imod Folket, og HERREN lod en meget haard Straf ramme Folket.
34 And he called the name of that place Kibroth-hattaavah; because there they buried the people that had lustfully craved.
Og man kaldte Stedet Kibrot-Hatta'ava, thi der blev de lystne Folk jordet.
35 From Kibroth-hattaavah the people journeyed unto Chazeroth; and they remained at Chazeroth.
Fra Kibrot-Hatta'ava drog Folket til Hazerot, og de gjorde Holdt i Hazerot.
