Numbers 11

1 And it was the people like [those who] complain trouble in [the] ears of Yahweh and he heard Yahweh and it burned anger his and it burned among them [the] fire of Yahweh and it consumed in [the] outskirt[s] of the camp.

It wasn't long before the people started to complain about how much they were suffering. When the Lord heard what they were saying, he became angry. Fire from the Lord burned them, destroying some on the edge of the camp.

2 And it cried out the people to Moses and he prayed Moses to Yahweh and it died out the fire.

The people cried to Moses for help. He prayed to the Lord and the fire subsided.

3 And someone called [the] name of the place that Taberah for it had burned among them [the] fire of Yahweh.

So that place was named Taberah, because the fire from the Lord burned them.

4 And the rabble which [was] in midst its they craved a craving and they returned and they wept also [the] people of Israel and they said who? will he cause to eat us meat.

A group of troublemakers among them had such intense food cravings they affected the Israelites who started crying again, asking “Who's going to get us some meat to eat?

5 We remember the fish which we ate in Egypt for nothing the cucumbers and the watermelons and the leek[s] and the onions and the garlic.

We think back to all the fish we ate in Egypt that didn't cost us anything, as well as the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions, and garlic.

6 And now appetite our [is] dry there not [is] anything except [are] to the manna eyes our.

We're fading away here! The only thing we ever see is this manna!”

7 And the manna [was] like seed of coriander it and appearance its [was] like [the] appearance of bdellium.

Manna looked like coriander seeds, light in color like gum resin.

8 They went about the people and they gathered and they ground in hand-mill or they pounded in mortar and they boiled in pot and they made it bread cakes and it was taste its like [the] taste of cake of oil.

The people would go out and collect it, grind it up in a mill or crush it in a mortar. Then they would boil it in a pot and make it into flatbread. It tasted like pastries made with the best olive oil.

9 And when came down the dew on the camp night it came down the manna with it.

When the dew came down on the camp at night the manna would come down with it.

10 And he heard Moses the people weeping to clans its everyone to [the] entrance of tent his and it burned [the] anger of Yahweh exceedingly and in [the] eyes of Moses [it was] displeasing.

Moses heard all the families crying at the entrance to their tents. The Lord became very angry, and Moses was also upset.

11 And he said Moses to Yahweh why? have you done harm to servant your and why? not have I found favor in view your to put [the] burden of all the people this on me.

He asked the Lord, “Why have you made things so tough for me, your servant? Why are you so unhappy with me that you have placed on me the heavy responsibility for all these people?

12 ¿ I did I conceive all the people this or? I did I give birth to it that you will say to me carry it in bosom your just as he carries foster-father the suckling-child on the land which you swore to ancestors its.

Are they my children? Did I give birth to them, so you could tell me, ‘Hold them close to your chest like a nurse carrying a baby’ and take them to the land you promised to give to their forefathers?

13 From where? [belong] to me [will] meat to give [it] to all the people this for they are weeping to me saying give! to us meat so let us eat.

Where am I supposed to get meat for all of them? They keep on complaining to me, ‘Get us some meat to eat!’

14 Not I am able I to alone me to carry all the people this for [it is too] heavy for me.

I can't go on carrying all these people by myself—it's just too much.

15 And if thus - you [are] doing to me kill me please completely if I have found favor in view your and may not I look on distress my.

If this is the way you're going to treat me, then please just kill me now so I don't have to face how depressed I've become. Please grant me this one request.”

16 And he said Yahweh to Moses gather! to me seventy man from [the] elders of Israel whom you know that they [are] [the] elders of the people and officials its and you will take them to [the] tent of meeting and they will present themselves there with you.

The Lord told Moses, “Bring before me seventy Israelite elders who you know are repected as leaders by the people Take them to the Tent of Meeting. They will stand there with you.

17 And I will come down and I will speak with you there and I will share some of the spirit which [is] on you and I will put [it] on them and they will carry with you in [the] burden of the people and not you will carry [it] you to alone you.

I will come down and talk with you there. I will take some of the Spirit you have and give it to them. They will take some of the responsibility for the people so you won't have to bear it alone.

18 And to the people you will say sanctify yourselves for tomorrow and you will eat meat for you have wept in [the] ears of Yahweh saying who? will he cause to eat us meat for it was good for us in Egypt and he will give Yahweh to you meat and you will eat.

Tell the people: Purify yourselves, for tomorrow you'll have meat to eat, because you were complaining and the Lord heard you saying, ‘Who's going to get us some meat to eat? We were better off in Egypt!’ So the Lord is going to provide you with meat to eat.

19 Not a day one you will eat! and not two days and not - five days and not ten days and not twenty day[s].

You're going to eat it, not for just a day or two, and not for five or ten or twenty days.

20 Until - a month of days until that it will come out from nose your and it will become for you a loathsome thing because for you have rejected Yahweh who [is] in midst your and you have wept before him saying why? this did we come out from Egypt.

You're going to eat it for a whole month until it makes you vomit and it comes out through your nostrils, because you have rejected the Lord who is right here with you, complaining to him by saying, ‘Why on earth did we ever leave Egypt?’”

21 And he said Moses [are] six hundred thousand foot soldier[s] the people which I [am] in midst its and you you have said meat I will give to them and they will eat a month of days.

But Moses replied, “Here I am with 600,000 people and you're telling me, ‘I'm going to give them meat and they'll eat it for a month’?

22 ¿ A flock and a herd will it be slaughtered for them and someone will find for them or? all [the] fish of the sea will it be gathered for them and someone will find for them.

Even if all our flocks and herds were slaughtered, would that be enough for them? Even if all the fish in the sea were caught, would that be enough for them?”

23 And he said Yahweh to Moses ¿ [the] hand of Yahweh is it short now you will see ¿ will it happen to you word my or? not.

“Doesn't the Lord have the power to do that?” the Lord responded. “Now you're going to find out whether what I've said will happen or not!”

24 And he went out Moses and he spoke to the people [the] words of Yahweh and he gathered seventy man from [the] elders of the people and he stationed them around the tent.

Moses went and shared with the people what the Lord said. He summoned seventy elders of the people and had them stand around the tent.

25 And he came down Yahweh - in the cloud and he spoke to him and he shared some of the spirit which [was] on him and he put [it] on seventy man the elders and it was when rested on them the spirit and they prophesied and not they repeated.

Then the Lord came down and talked to him. The Lord took some of the Spirit Moses had and gave it to them. They prophesied, but this didn't ever happen again.

26 And they had remained two men - in the camp [the] name of the one - [was] Eldad and [the] name of the second [was] Medad and it rested on them the spirit and they among those written and not they had gone out the tent towards and they prophesied in the camp.

However, two men named Eldad and Medad had stayed behind in the camp. The Spirit came on them too. (They had been put on the list of the seventy elders, but they hadn't gone to the tent. But they prophesied where they were in the camp anyway.)

27 And he ran the young man and he told to Moses and he said Eldad and Medad [are] prophesying in the camp.

A young lad ran and told Moses, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.”

28 And he answered Joshua [the] son of Nun [the] servant of Moses from youth his and he said O lord my Moses restrain them.

Joshua, son of Nun, who had been Moses' assistant since he was young, reacted, saying, “Moses, my lord, you have to stop them!”

29 And he said to him Moses ¿ zealous [are] you for me and who? will he give all [the] people of Yahweh [were] prophets that he will put Yahweh spirit his on them.

“Are you jealous for my reputation?” Moses replied. “I wish that every one of the Lord's people were prophets and that the Lord would give his Spirit to all of them!”

30 And he gathered himself Moses to the camp he and [the] elders of Israel.

Then Moses went back to the camp with the elders of Israel.

31 And a wind it set out - from with Yahweh and it brought quails from the sea and it left [them] at the camp about a journey of a day thus and about a journey of a day thus around the camp and about two cubits above [the] surface of the ground.

The Lord sent a wind that blew quail in from the sea and deposited them near the camp. They covered the ground to a depth of about two cubits and extended for a day's journey in every direction from the camp.

32 And it arose the people all the day that and all the night and all - [the] day of the next day and they gathered the quail the [one who] did little he gathered ten homers and they spread [them] out for themselves completely around the camp.

All through that day and night, and all through the next day, the people went on collecting the quail. Everyone collected at least ten homers, and they spread them out to dry all around the camp.

33 The meat still it [was] between teeth their not yet it was chewed and [the] anger of Yahweh it burned on the people and he struck Yahweh the people a plague great very.

But while the people were still biting into the meat, before they even chewed it down, the Lord showed his burning anger against them, killing some of them with a severe disease.

34 And someone called [the] name of the place that Kibroth Hattaavah for there they buried the people who craved.

They named that place Kibroth-hattaavah, because that was where they buried the people who had these intense food cravings.

35 From Kibroth Hattaavah they set out the people Hazeroth and they were at Hazeroth.

Then they moved on from Kibroth-hattaavah to Hazeroth, where they stayed for some time.
