Numbers 11
1 And the people are evil, as those sighing habitually in the ears of YHWH, and YHWH hears, and His anger burns, and the fire of YHWH burns among them, and consumes in the extremity of the camp.
Men Folket knurrede højlydt for HERREN over deres usle Kår; og da HERREN hørte det, blussede hans Vrede op, og HERRENs Ild brød løs iblandt dem og åd om sig i den yderste Del af Lejren.
2 And the people cry to Moses, and Moses prays to YHWH, and the fire is quenched;
Da råbte Folket til Moses, og Moses gik i Forbøn hos HERREN. Så dæmpedes Ilden.
3 and he calls the name of that place Taberah, for the fire of YHWH has “burned” among them.
Derfor kaldte man dette Sted Tabera, fordi HERRENs Ild brød løs iblandt dem.
4 And the rabble who [are] in its midst have lusted greatly, and the sons of Israel also turn back and weep, and say, “Who gives us flesh?
Men den sammenløbne Hob, som fandtes iblandt dem, blev lysten. Så tog også Israeliterne til at græde igen, og de sagde: "Kunde vi dog få Kød at spise!
5 We have remembered the fish which we eat in Egypt for nothing, 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 and now our soul [is] dry, there is not anything, except the manna, before our eyes.”
og nu vansmægter vi; her er hverken det ene eller det andet, vi ser aldrig andet end Manna."
7 And the manna is as coriander seed, and its aspect as the aspect of bdellium;
Mannaen lignede Horianderfrø og så ud som Bellium.
8 the people have turned aside and gathered [it], and ground [it] with millstones, or beat [it] in a mortar, and boiled [it] in a pan, and made it cakes, and its taste has been as the taste of the moisture of oil.
Folket gik rundt og sankede den op; derpå malede de den i Håndkværne eller stødte den i Mortere; så kogte de den i Gryder og lavede Kager deraf; den smagte da som Bagværk tillavet i Olie.
9 And in the descending of the dew on the camp by night, the manna descends on it.
Når Duggen om Natten faldt over Lejren, faldt også Mannaen ned over den.
10 And Moses hears the people weeping by its families, each at the opening of his tent, and the anger of YHWH burns exceedingly, and in the eyes of Moses [it is] evil.
Og Moses hørte, hvorledes alle Folkets Slægter græd, enhver ved Indgangen til sit Telt; da blussede HERRENs Vrede voldsomt op, og det vakte også Moses's Mishag.
11 And Moses says to YHWH, “Why have You done evil to Your servant? And why have I not found grace in Your eyes—to put the burden of all this people on me?
Da sagde Moses til HERREN: "Hvorfor har du handlet så ilde med din Tjener, og hvorfor har jeg ikke fundet Nåde for dine Øjne, siden du har lagt hele dette Folk som en Byrde på mig?
12 I—have I conceived all this people? I—have I begotten it, that You say to me, Carry it in your bosom, as the one supporting carries the nursing suckling, to the ground which You have sworn to its 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 From where do I have flesh to give to all this people? For they weep to me, saying, Give flesh to us, and we eat.
Hvor skal jeg gå 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—I alone—to bear all this people, for [it is] too heavy for me;
Jeg kan ikke ene bære hele dette Folk, det er mig for tungt.
15 and if thus You are doing to me—please slay me; slay, if I have found grace in your eyes, and do not let me look on my affliction.”
Hvis du vil handle således med mig, så dræb mig hellere, om jeg har fundet Nåde for dine Øjne, så at jeg ikke skal være nødt til at opleve sådan Elendighed!"
16 And YHWH says to Moses, “Gather to Me seventy men from [the] elderly of Israel, whom you have known that they are [the] elderly of the people, and its authorities; and you have taken them to the Tent of Meeting, and they have stationed themselves there with you,
HERREN svarede Moses: "Kald mig halvfjerdsindstyve af Israels Ældste sammen, Mænd, som du ved hører til Folkets Ældste og Tilsynsmænd, før dem hen til Åbenbaringsteltet og lad dem stille sig op hos dig der.
17 and I have come down and spoken with you there, and have kept back of the Spirit which [is] on you, and have put [that One] on them, and they have borne some of the burden of the people with you, and you do not bear [it] alone.
Så vil jeg stige ned og tale med dig der, og jeg vil tage noget af den Ånd, der er over dig, og lade den komme over dem, for at de kan hjælpe dig med at bære Folkets Byrde, så du ikke ene skal bære den.
18 And you say to the people: Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow, and you have eaten flesh, for you have wept in the ears of YHWH, saying, Who gives us flesh? For we [had] good in Egypt; and YHWH has given flesh to you, and you have eaten.
Men til Folket skal du sige: Helliger eder til i Morgen, så skal I få Kød at spise! I har jo grædt højlydt for HERREN og sagt: Kunde vi dog få Kød at spise! Vi havde det jo bedre i Ægypten! Derfor vil HERREN give eder kød at spise;
19 You do not eat one day, 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] even to a month of days, until it comes out from your nostrils, and it has become an abomination to you, because that you have loathed YHWH, who [is] in your midst, and weep before Him, saying, Why is this [that] we have come out of Egypt!”
men en hel Måned igennem, indtil det står eder ud af Næsen, og I væmmes derved, fordi I har ringeagtet HERREN, der er i eders Midte, og grædt for hans Åsyn og sagt: Hvorfor drog vi dog ud af Ægypten!"
21 And Moses says, “Six hundred thousand footmen [are] the people in whose midst I [dwell]; and You, You have said, I give flesh to them, and they have eaten [for] a month of days!
Moses svarede: "600000 Fodfolk tæller det Folk, jeg bar om mig, og du siger: Jeg vil skaffe dem Kød, så de har nok at spise en hel Måned!
22 Is flock and herd slaughtered for them, that one has found [enough] for them? Are all the fishes of the sea gathered for them, that one has found [enough] for them?”
Kan der slagtes så meget Småkvæg og Hornkvæg til dem, at det kan slå til, eller kan alle Fisk i Havet samles sammen til dem, så det kan slå til?"
23 And YHWH says to Moses, “Has the hand of YHWH become short? Now you see whether My word meets you or not.”
HERREN svarede Moses: "Er HERRENs Arm for kort? Nu skal du få at se, om mit Ord går i Opfyldelse for dig eller ej."
24 And Moses goes out, and speaks the words of YHWH to the people, and gathers seventy men from [the] elderly of the people, and causes them to stand around the tent,
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 YHWH comes down in the cloud, and speaks to him, and keeps back of the Spirit which [is] on him, and puts [that One] on the seventy elderly men; and it comes to pass at the resting of the Spirit on them, that they prophesy, and they have never done [so] again.
Så steg HERREN ned i Skyen og talede til ham; og han tog noget af den Ånd, der var over ham, og lod den komme over de halvfjerdsindstyve Ældste, og da Ånden hvilede over dem, kom de i profetisk Henrykkelse noget, som ikke siden hændtes dem.
26 And two of the men are left in the camp, the name of the first [is] Eldad and the name of the second Medad, and the spirit rests on them (and they are among those written, but they have not gone out to the tent), and they prophesy in the camp;
Imidlertid var to Mænd blevet tilbage i Lejren, den ene hed Eldad, den anden Medad. Også over dem kom Ånden, thi de hørte til dem, der var optegnede, men de var ikke gået ud til Teltet, og nu kom de i profetisk Henrykkelse inde i Lejren.
27 and the young man runs, and declares [it] to Moses, and says, “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 son of Nun, minister of Moses, [one] of his young men, answers and says, “My lord Moses, restrain them.”
Josua, Nuns Søn, der fra sin Ungdom af havde gået Moses til Hånde, sagde da: "Min Herre Moses, stands dem i det!"
29 And Moses says to him, “Are you zealous for me? O that all YHWH’s people were prophets! That YHWH would put His Spirit on them!”
Men Moses sagde til ham: "Er du skinsyg på mine Vegne? Gid alt HERRENs Folk var Profeter, gid HERREN vilde lade sin Ånd komme over dem!"
30 And Moses is gathered to the camp, he and [the] elderly of Israel.
Derpå trak Moses sig tilbage til Lejren med Israels Ældste.
31 And a spirit has journeyed from YHWH, and cuts off quails from the sea, and leaves [them] by the camp, as a day’s journey here and as a day’s journey there, around the camp, and about two cubits above the face of the land.
Da rejste der sig på HERRENs Bud en Vind, som førte Vagtler med sig fra Havet og drev dem hen over Lejren så langt som en Dagsrejse på begge Sider af Lejren i en Højde af et Par Alen over Jorden.
32 And the people rise all that day, and all the night, and all the day after, and gather the quails—he who has least has gathered ten homers—and they spread them out for themselves around the camp.
Så 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 is yet between their teeth—it is not yet cut off—and the anger of YHWH has burned among the people, and YHWH strikes [with] a very great striking among the people;
Medens Kødet endnu var imellem Tænderne på dem, før det endnu var spist, blussede HERRENs Vrede op imod Folket, og HERREN lod en meget hård Straf ramme Folket.
34 and [one] calls the name of that place Kibroth-Hattaavah, for there they have buried the people who lust.
Og man kaldte Stedet Kibrot Hattåva, thi der blev de lystne Folk jordet.
35 From Kibroth-Hattaavah the people have journeyed to Hazeroth, and they are in Hazeroth.
Fra Kibrot-Hattåva drog Folket til Hazerot, og de gjorde Holdt i Hazerot.
