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.
Sasa watu wakanung'unika juu ya matatizo yao wakati BWANA alipokuwa akiwasikiliza. BWANA akawasikia watu naye akakasirika. Moto kutoka kwa BWANA ukashuka na ukawaka kati yao na kuteketeza baadhi ya kambi kwenye pembe zake.
2 And the people cry to Moses, and Moses prays to YHWH, and the fire is quenched;
Ndipo watu wakamwita Musa kwa nguvu, Naye Musa akamwomba BWANA, na ule moto ukazimika.
3 and he calls the name of that place Taberah, for the fire of YHWH has “burned” among them.
Mahali pale paliitwa Tabera, kwa sababu moto wa BWANA uliwaka kati yao.
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?
Baadhi ya wageni wakaanza kuweka kambi zao pamoja na wana wa wa Israeli. Walitaka kula chakula kizuri. Kisha wana wa Israeli walipoanza kulia wakisema, “Ni nani atakayetupatia nyama za kula?
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;
Tunakumbuka samaki tulizokula bure kule Misri, yale matango, na matikiti maji, na mboga na vitunguu na vitunguu saumu.
6 and now our soul [is] dry, there is not anything, except the manna, before our eyes.”
Na sasa hatuna hamu ya kula, kwa sababu tunaona mana tu.
7 And the manna is as coriander seed, and its aspect as the aspect of bdellium;
Mana ilifanana na punje ya mtama. ilionekana kama bedola.
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.
watu wakazunguka kisha wakakusanyika. Wakaisaga, wakaitwanga kwa vinu, wakaitokosa nyunguni, na kuitengeneza mikate. radha yake ilikuwa kama mafuta mapya ya mizeituni.
9 And in the descending of the dew on the camp by night, the manna descends on it.
Na umande ulipoanguka kambini usiku ule, na mana ilianguka pia.
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.
Musa akawasikia watu wakilia katika familia zao, na kila mtu alikuwa kwenye lango la hema yake. BWANA alikasirika sana, na mbele ya macho ya Musa malalamiko yao yalikuwa mabaya.
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?
Musa akasema na BWANA, “Kwa nini umemtendea mtumishi wako vibaya namna hiyo? kwa nini hujapendezwa na mimi? unanifanya kubeba mizigo ya hawa watu.
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?
Je, mimi ndiye niliyewatungia mimba hawa watu? Mimi ndiye niliyewazaa kiasi kwamba unaniambia, “wabebe kwa ukaribu vifuani mwako kama baba abebavyo mtoto wake? Je, nitawabeba mpaka kwenye nchi ambayo uliwaahidi mababu zao kuwapa?
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.
Naweza kupata wapi nyama za kuwapa watu wote hawa? Wanalia mbele zangu na wanasema, 'tupe nyama tule.'
14 I am not able—I alone—to bear all this people, for [it is] too heavy for me;
Mimi peke yangu siwezi kuwabeba watu wote hawa. Ni wengi sana kwangu.
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.”
Kwa vile unanitendea hivi, basi uniue, na kama wewe ni mpole kwangu, basi niondolee mzigo huu.”
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,
BWANA akamwambia Musa, “Niletee wazee sabini miongoni mwa Waisraeli. Hakikisha ni wazee na viongozi wa watu. Uwalete kwenye hema ya kukutania wasimame pamoja na wewe.
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.
Nami nitashuka niseme nawe mahali pale. Nitatoa sehemu ya roho iliyo ndani yako na kuwapatia wao. Nao watabeba mzigo wa watu pamoja nawe. na hautaubeba peke yako.
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.
Waambie watu, 'Jitakaseni ninyi wenyewe, kwa kuwa kesho mtakuala nyama, kwa kuwa mmelia na BWANA amesikia, “Mlipokuwa mkisema kuwa nani atakayetupa nyama tule? Kule Misri tulikula chakula kizuri!” Kwa hiyo BWANA atawapeni nyama, nanyi mtakula nyama.
19 You do not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, nor ten days, nor twenty days,
Hamtakula nyama kwa siku moja tu, au siku mbili, au siku tano, au siku kumi, au siku ishirini,
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!”
Lakini mtakula nyama kwa mwezi mmoja mpaka zitakapowatokea puani. Mpaka zitawakinai kwa sababu mmemkataa BWANA ambaye yuko kati yenu. Mmelia mbele yake. mmesema, “Kwa nini tulitoka Misri?””
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!
Kisha Musa akasema, “Mimi nina watu 600, 000, na wewe umesema, “Nitawapa nyama mle kwa mwezi mmoja,'
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?”
Je, tutayachinja haya makundi ya ng'ombe na kondoo ili kuwatosheleza?”
23 And YHWH says to Moses, “Has the hand of YHWH become short? Now you see whether My word meets you or not.”
BWANA akasema na Musa, “Je mkono wangu ni mfupi? Sasa utaona kama maneno yangu ni ya kweli ama sivyo.
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,
Musa alitoka nje kwenda kuwaambia watu maneno ya BWANA. Aliwakusanya wazee sabini wa watu na kuwaweka kuizunguka hema.
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.
BWANA akashuka chini katika wingu akaongea na Musa. BWANA akachukua sehemu ya roho iliyokuwa kwa Musa na kuiweka kwa wale wazee sabini. Roho alipowashukia, wakaanza kutoa unabii, lakini ilitokea kwenye tukio hilo tu na haikujirudia tena.
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;
Watu wawili waitwao Elidadi na Medadi walibaki kambini. Lakini Roho aliwashukia pia. Majina yao yalikuwa yameandikwa kwenye orodha lakini walikuwa hawajaenda hemani. Hata hivyo nao walitoa unabii wakiwa kambini.
27 and the young man runs, and declares [it] to Moses, and says, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.”
Kijana mmoja huko kambini alikimbia akaenda kumwambia Musa, “Elidadi na Medadi wanatoa unabii kambini.”
28 And Joshua son of Nun, minister of Moses, [one] of his young men, answers and says, “My lord Moses, restrain them.”
Joshua mwana wa Nuni, msaidizi wa Musa, ambaye ni miongoni mwa wale aliowachagua akamwambia Musa, “Bwana wangu Musa, wazuie.”
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!”
Musa akamwambia, “una wivu kwa niaba yangu? Natamani kama watu wote wa BWANA wangekuwa manabii na kwamba angeweka Roho yake juu yao wote!”
30 And Moses is gathered to the camp, he and [the] elderly of Israel.
Kisha Musa na wale wazee wakarudi kambini.
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.
Kisha upepo ukavuma kutoka kwa BWANA ukaja na kware kutokea baharini. Wakaanguka karibu na kambi, kiasi cha umbali wa safari ya siku moja upande huu na umbali wa siku moja upande mwingine. Wale kware wakaizunguka kambi kiasi cha mita moja toka uso wa dunia.
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.
Watu wakawakusanya hao kware kwa bidii mchana huo wote na usiku huo wote, na mchana wote uliofuatia. Hakuna aliyekusanya pungufu ya mita mbili za uajazo. Wakawaanika kweye ardhi yote hapo kambini.
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;
Wakati ile nyama ikiwa bado iko kwenye meno yao, wakiwa bado wanatafuna, BWANA akawakasirikia. Akwapiga watu wale kwa gonjwa kubwa sana.
34 and [one] calls the name of that place Kibroth-Hattaavah, for there they have buried the people who lust.
Mahali pale paliitwa Kibroti Hataava, kwa sababu pale walizika watu waliotamani nyama.
35 From Kibroth-Hattaavah the people have journeyed to Hazeroth, and they are in Hazeroth.
Kutoka Kibroti Hataava watu wakasafiri hadi Hazeroti, ambapo walipumzika.
