Numbers 11
1 The people were complaining in the ears of the LORD. When the LORD heard it, his anger was kindled; and the LORD's fire burnt among them, and consumed some of the outskirts 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 The people cried to Moses; and Moses prayed to the LORD, and the fire abated.
Da raabte Folket til Moses, og Moses gik i Forbøn hos HERREN. Saa dæmpedes Ilden.
3 The name of that place was called Taberah, because the LORD's fire burnt among them.
Derfor kaldte man dette Sted Tab'era, fordi HERRENS Ild brød løs iblandt dem.
4 The mixed multitude that was among them lusted exceedingly: 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 ate 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 but now we have lost our appetite. There is nothing at all except this manna to look at."
og nu vansmægter vi; her er hverken det ene eller det andet, vi ser aldrig andet end Manna.«
7 The manna was like coriander seed, and its appearance like the appearance of bdellium.
Mannaen lignede Korianderfrø og saa ud som Bdellium.
8 The people went around, gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in mortars, and boiled it in pots, and made cakes of it. Its taste was like the taste of fresh 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 When the dew fell on the camp in the night, the manna fell on it.
Naar Duggen om Natten faldt over Lejren, faldt ogsaa Mannaen ned over den.
10 Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, every man at the door of his tent; and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly; and Moses was displeased.
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 Moses said to the LORD, "Why have you treated with your servant so badly? Why haven't I found favor in your sight, that you lay the burden of all this people on 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 Have I conceived all this people? Have I brought them forth, that you should tell me, 'Carry them in your bosom, as a nurse carries a nursing infant, to the land which you swore to 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 Where could I get meat to give to all this people? For they weep to me, saying, 'Give us meat, 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 to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.
Jeg kan ikke ene bære hele dette Folk, det er mig for tungt.
15 If you treat me this way, please kill me right now, if I have found favor in your sight; and do not let me 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 The LORD said to Moses, "Gather to me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them to the Tent of Meeting, that they may stand 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 Aabenbaringsteltet og lad dem stille sig op hos dig der.
17 I will come down and talk with you there. I will take of the Spirit which is on you, and will put it on them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, that you not bear it yourself 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 "Say to the people, 'Sanctify yourselves against tomorrow, and you will eat flesh; for you have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying, "Who will give us flesh to eat? For it was well with us in Egypt." Therefore the LORD will give you flesh, and you will 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 You will not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days,
og ikke blot een eller to eller fem eller ti eller tyve Dage skal I spise det,
20 but a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it is loathsome to you; because that you have rejected the LORD who is among you, and have wept before him, saying, "Why did we come 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 Moses said, "The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand men on foot; and you have said, 'I will give them flesh, 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 slaughtered for them, to be sufficient for them? Shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to be sufficient 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 The LORD said to Moses, "Has the LORD's hand grown short? Now you will see whether my word will happen to you 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 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 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 The LORD came down in the cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the Spirit that was on him, and put it on the seventy elders: and it happened that when the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied, but they did so no 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 But two men remained in the camp. The name of one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the Spirit rested on them; and they were of those who were written, but had not gone out to the Tent; 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 A young man ran, and told 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 Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his chosen men, answered, "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 Moses said to him, "Are you jealous for my sake? I wish that all the LORD's people were prophets, that the LORD would put his Spirit on 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 Moses went into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
Derpaa trak Moses sig tilbage til Lejren med Israels Ældste.
31 A wind from the LORD went out and brought 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, around the camp, and about three feet above the ground.
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 The people rose up all that day, and all the night, and all the next day, and gathered the quails. He who gathered least gathered ten homers; and they spread them all abroad for themselves around 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 While the flesh was yet between their teeth, before it was chewed, the anger of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the LORD struck the people with 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 The name of that place was called Kibroth Hattaavah, because there they buried the people who lusted.
Og man kaldte Stedet Kibrot-Hatta'ava, thi der blev de lystne Folk jordet.
35 From Kibroth Hattaavah the people traveled to Hazeroth; and they stayed at Hazeroth.
Fra Kibrot-Hatta'ava drog Folket til Hazerot, og de gjorde Holdt i Hazerot.
