< Numbers 11 >

1 And it came to pass that when the people were giving themselves up to murmuring, it was grievous in the ears of Yahweh, —so Yahweh hearkened, and kindled was his anger, and the fire of Yahweh burned among them, and consumed the uttermost part of the camp.
E aconteceu que, queixando-se o povo, era mal aos ouvidos do Senhor; porque o Senhor ouviu-o, e a sua ira se accendeu, e o fogo do Senhor ardeu entre elles, e consumiu os que estavam na ultima parte do arraial.
2 Then did the people make outcry unto Moses, —and Moses prayed unto Yahweh, and the fire sank down.
Então o povo clamou a Moysés, e Moysés orou ao Senhor, e o fogo se apagou.
3 So he called the name of that place, Taberah ["A Burning"] because there burned among them the fire of Yahweh.
Pelo que chamou aquelle logar Tabera, porquanto o fogo do Senhor se accendera entre elles.
4 Moreover the mixed multitude that was in their midst concealed not their lusting, —and so even the sons of Israel, fell away and wept, and said: Who will grant us to eat flesh?
E o vulgo, que estava no meio d'elles, veiu a ter grande desejo: pelo que os filhos d'Israel tornaram a chorar, e disseram: Quem nos dará carne a comer?
5 We remember the fish that we did eat in Egypt, without money, —the cucumbers, and the water-melons, and the leeks and the onions, and the garlick.
Lembramo-nos dos peixes que no Egypto comiamos de graça; e dos pepinos, e dos melões, e dos pórros, e das cebolas, e dos alhos.
6 But, now, our soul is dried up, there is nothing at all, —unless, unto the manna, [we turn] our eyes.
Mas agora a nossa alma se secca; coisa nenhuma ha senão este manná diante dos nossos olhos.
7 Now, the manna, was like coriander seed, and the appearance thereof like the appearance of bdellium,
E era o manná como semente de coentro, e a sua côr como a côr de bedelio.
8 The people used to go about and pick it up, and grind it with a pair of mill-stones, or pound it in a mortar, and boil it in a pot, and make it into round cakes, —then was the taste thereof like the taste of a sweet cake made with oil.
Espalhava-se o povo, e o colhia, e em moinhos o moia, ou n'um gral o pizava, e em panellas o cozia, e d'elle fazia bolos: e o seu sabor era como o sabor d'azeite fresco.
9 When the dew came down upon the camp by night, the manna came down thereupon.
E, quando o orvalho descia de noite sobre o arraial, o manná descia sobre elle.
10 So then Moses heard the people weeping by their families, every one at the entrance of his tent, —then kindled the anger of Yahweh fiercely, and in the eyes of Moses, it was grievous.
Então Moysés ouviu chorar o povo pelas suas familias, cada qual á porta da sua tenda: e a ira do Senhor grandemente se accendeu, e pareceu mal aos olhos de Moysés.
11 And Moses said unto Yahweh—Wherefore hast thou let thy servant come to grief, and wherefore have I not found favour in thine eyes, —that thou shouldest lay the burden of all this people upon me?
E disse Moysés ao Senhor: Porque fizeste mal a teu servo, e porque não achei graça aos teus olhos; que pozesses sobre mim o cargo de todo este povo?
12 Did, I, conceive all this people, or, I, beget them, —that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father carrieth a suckling, unto the soil which thou didst swear unto their fathers?
Concebi eu porventura todo este povo? pari-o eu? que me dissesses: leva-o ao teu collo, como o aio leva o que cria, á terra que juraste a seus paes?
13 Whence should, I, have flesh to give to all this people, —for they keep weeping by me saying, Oh give us flesh that we may eat!
D'onde teria eu carne para dar a todo este povo? porquanto contra mim choram, dizendo: Dá-nos carne a comer:
14 Unable, am, I, by myself, to carry all this people, —for they are too heavy for me.
Eu só não posso levar a todo este povo, porque muito pesado é para mim.
15 But if, in this way, thou art going to deal with me, slay me, I beseech thee, slay, if I have found favour in thine eyes, —and let me not see my grief,
E se assim fazes comigo, mata-me eu t'o peço, se tenho achado graça aos teus olhos, e não me deixes ver o meu mal.
16 Then said Yahweh unto Moses—Gather thou unto me seventy men, from among the elders of Israel, of whom thou knowest that they are elders of the people and their overseers, —then shalt thou take them unto the tent of meeting, and they shall station themselves there with thee.
E disse o Senhor a Moysés: Ajunta-me setenta homens dos anciãos d'Israel, de quem sabes que são anciãos do povo, e seus officiaes: e os trarás perante a tenda da congregação, e ali se porão comtigo
17 Then will I come down, and speak with thee there, and will take of the spirit that is upon thee and put upon them, —and they shall carry, with thee, the burden of the people, and, thou, shalt not carry it by thyself.
Então eu descerei e ali fallarei comtigo, e tirarei do espirito que está sobre ti, e o porei sobre elles: e comtigo levarão o cargo do povo, para que tu só o não leves.
18 And, unto the people, shalt thou say: Hallow yourselves by to-morrow, and ye shall eat flesh, for ye have wept in the ears of Yahweh saying—Who will grant us to eat flesh? for it was well with us in Egypt, —so then Yahweh will give you flesh and ye shall eat.
E dirás ao povo: Sanctificae-vos para ámanhã, e comereis carne: porquanto chorastes aos ouvidos do Senhor, dizendo: Quem nos dará carne a comer? pois bem nos ia no Egypto: pelo que o Senhor vos dará carne, e comereis:
19 Not one day, shall ye eat nor two days, —nor five days nor ten days, nor twenty days:
Não comereis um dia, nem dois dias, nem cinco dias, nem dez dias, nem vinte dias;
20 for a month of days until it cometh forth out of your nostrils, so shall it become to you a loathsome thing, —because ye have refused Yahweh who is in your midst, and have wept before him, saying, Wherefore now came we forth out of Egypt?
Até um mez inteiro, até vos sair pelos narizes, até que vos enfastieis d'ella: porquanto rejeitastes ao Senhor, que está no meio de vós, e chorastes diante d'elle, dizendo: Porque saimos do Egypto?
21 And Moses said, Six hundred thousand footmen, are the people in whose midst am, I, yet thou hast said—Flesh, will I give unto them, and they shall eat for a month of days.
E disse Moysés: Seiscentos mil homens de pé é este povo, no meio do qual estou: e tu tens dito: Dar-lhes-hei carne, e comerão um mez inteiro.
22 Shall the flocks and herds, be slaughtered for them, that it may suffice for them? Shall all the fishes of the sea, be gathered together unto them that it may suffice for them?
Degolar-se-hão para elles ovelhas e vaccas, que lhes bastem? ou ajuntar-se-hão para elles todos os peixes do mar, que lhes bastem?
23 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Shall the hand of Yahweh, fail? Now, shalt thou see whether my word come to pass unto thee or not.
Porém o Senhor disse a Moysés: Seria pois encurtada a mão do Senhor? agora verás se a minha palavra te acontecerá ou não.
24 And Moses went forth and spake unto the people the words of Yahweh, —and gathered together seventy men from among the elders of the people, and caused them to stand round about the tent.
E saiu Moysés, e fallou as palavras do Senhor ao povo, e ajuntou setenta homens dos anciãos do povo e os poz de roda da tenda.
25 Then Yahweh came down, in the cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave unto the seventy men—the elders. And it came to pass that when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and then did so no more.
Então o Senhor desceu na nuvem, e lhe fallou; e, tirando do espirito, que estava sobre elle, o poz sobre aquelles setenta anciãos: e aconteceu que, assim como o espirito repousou sobre elles, prophetizaram; mas depois nunca mais.
26 Now there were two men left behind in the camp—the name of the one, was Eldad and the name of the other, Medad, so then the spirit, rested on them—they, being among them who were written, though they had not gone forth unto the tent, —but they prophesied in the camp.
Porém no arraial ficaram dois homens; o nome d'um era Eldad, e o nome do outro Medad; e repousou sobre elles o espirito (porquanto estavam entre os escriptos, ainda que não sairam á tenda), e prophetizavam no arraial.
27 And there ran a young man, and told Moses and said, —Eldad and Medad, are prophesying in the camp!
Então correu um moço, e o annunciou a Moysés, e disse: Eldad e Medad prophetizam no arraial.
28 Then responded Joshua son of Nun the attendant of Moses from his youth, and said, —My lord Moses forbid them!
E Josué, filho de Nun, servidor de Moysés, um dos seus mancebos escolhidos, respondeu, e disse: Senhor meu, Moysés, prohibe-lh'o.
29 But Moses said unto him, Art, thou, jealous for, me? Oh would that, all the people of Yahweh, were prophets! Yea let Yahweh put his spirit upon them!
Porém Moysés lhe disse: Tens tu ciumes por mim? Oxalá que todo o povo do Senhor fosse propheta, que o Senhor désse o seu espirito sobre elle!
30 Then was Moses received back into the camp, —he and the elders of Israel.
Depois Moysés se recolheu ao arraial, elle e os anciãos de Israel.
31 Now, a wind, had sprung up, from Yahweh, and cut off quails from the sea, and let them lie over the camp—as it were a days journey here and a days journey there, round about the camp, —and as it were two cubits on the face of the land.
Então soprou um vento do Senhor, e trouxe codornizes do mar, e as espalhou pelo arraial quasi caminho d'um dia d'uma banda, e quasi caminho d'um dia da outra banda, á roda do arraial; e estavam quasi dois covados sobre a terra.
32 And the people rose up all that day and all the night and all the next day, and gathered the quails, he that did least, gathered ten homers, —and they spread them out for themselves spreading away, round about the camp.
Então o povo se levantou todo aquelle dia e toda aquella noite, e todo o dia seguinte, e colheram as codornizes; o que menos tinha, colhera dez homers; e as estenderam para si ao redor do arraial.
33 The flesh, was yet between their teeth, not yet chewed, —when the anger of Yahweh, had kindled upon the people, and Yahweh smote the people, with an exceeding great plague.
Quando a carne estava entre os seus dentes, antes que fosse mastigada, se accendeu a ira do Senhor contra o povo, e feriu o Senhor o povo com uma praga mui grande.
34 And the name of that place was called Kibroth-hattaavah—because there, they buried the people who had lusted,
Pelo que o nome d'aquelle logar se chamou Kibroth-hattaava porquanto ali enterraram o povo que teve o desejo.
35 From Kibroth-hattaavah, the people set forward to Hazeroth, —and they remained in Hazeroth.
De Kibroth-hattaava caminhou o povo para Hazaaroth, e pararam em Hazaaroth.
