Numbers 11
1 One day the people complained to Yahweh about their troubles. When Yahweh heard what they were saying, he became angry. So he sent a fire which burned among the people at the edge of their camp.
Pèp la te konmanse ap plenyen nan zòrèy Seyè a jan zafè yo pa t' bon. Lè Seyè a tande sa, li fè yon sèl kòlè, li voye dife sou pèp la. Dife a pran nan mitan yo, li boule yon bò nan kan an nèt.
2 Then the people cried out to Moses/me, and he/I prayed to Yahweh. Then the fire stopped burning.
Pèp la rele Moyiz vin delivre yo. Moyiz lapriyè Seyè a pou yo epi dife a sispann.
3 So they called that place Taberah, [which means ‘burning’], because the fire from Yahweh had burned among them.
Se konsa yo rele kote yo te ye a Tabera, paske se la dife Seyè a te pran nan mitan yo a.
4 Then some troublemakers from other people-groups [who were traveling] with the Israelis began to want better food. And [when they started complaining] the Israeli people also started to complain.
Bann moun lòt nasyon ki te la nan mitan pèp Izrayèl la te anvi manje vyann. Pèp la menm te pran plenyen ankò, yo t'ap di: -Ki moun k'ap fè nou jwenn vyann pou nou manje koulye a?
5 They said, “We wish we had some meat!
Jan nou te konn manje pwason pou gremesi nan peyi Lejip! Nou chonje kalite bon ti konkonm, melon dlo, powo, zonyon, ak lay nou te konn manje!
6 We remember the fish that we ate while we were in Egypt, fish that was given to us without (cost/asking us to pay for it). And we had all the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions, and garlic [that we wanted]. But now we do not have any desire to eat, because all we have to eat is this manna!”
Men koulye a, se deperi n'ap deperi. Nou pa gen anyen pou nou manje, anyen menm pase laman lan ki devan je nou tout tan!
7 The manna resembled small white seeds.
Laman lan te gen fòm grenn pitimi, li te blan epi ou ta di se gonm arabik.
8 [Each morning] the people would go out and gather some [from the surface of the ground]. Then they made flour by grinding it or pounding it with stones. Then they [added water and] boiled it in a pot, or they made flat cakes with it [and baked them]. The cakes tasted like bread that was baked with [olive] oil.
Pèp la ale toupatou, li ranmase yo. Apre sa, oubyen li te pase yo nan moulen wòch, oubyen li te pile yo nan pilon pou fè farin. Lèfini, yo kwit li nan chodyè, yo fè gato plat avè l'. Li te gen menm gou avèk pen ki fèt ak lwil oliv.
9 Each night the manna came down on their ground where their tents were, like dew [from the sky].
Se lannwit laman lan te konn tonbe nan kan an, menm lè ak lawouze.
10 Moses/I heard all the Israeli people complaining as they were standing in the entrances of their tents. Yahweh became very angry, and Moses/I was also very perturbed.
Moyiz te tande jan pèp la t'ap plenyen, chak moun ak fanmi yo devan papòt tant yo. Seyè a te fache anpil sou moun yo. Sa te fè Moyiz lapenn.
11 He/I [went into the Sacred Tent and] asked Yahweh, “Why have you caused me, your servant, to experience this trouble [RHQ]? Act mercifully to me! What wrong have I done, with the result that you have appointed me to take care of all of these people [RHQ]?
Lè sa a, Moyiz di Seyè a konsa: -Poukisa ou aji mal avè m' konsa? Kisa m' fè ki pa fè ou plezi? Poukisa ou mete tout pèp sa a sou kont mwen?
12 (I am not their father./Am I their father?) [RHQ] Why have you told me to take care of them like a woman carries around her baby and (nurses it/gives it her milk) [MET, RHQ]? How can I take them to the land that you promised to give to our ancestors [RHQ]?
Eske se mwen ki papa yo? Eske se mwen ki manman yo? Poukisa w'ap mande m' pou mwen pote yo sou lestonmak mwen tankou nouris k'ap bay timoun tete, jouk yo rive nan peyi ou te pwomèt zansèt yo ou t'ap ba yo a?
13 Where can I get meat to feed all these people? They keep complaining to me, saying, ‘Give us some meat to eat!’
Kote pou m' jwenn vyann pou m' bay tout moun sa yo? Y'ap plede plenyen nan zòrèy mwen, y'ap mande m' pou m' ba yo vyann pou yo manje.
14 I cannot carry all these people’s burdens by myself! [They are like a heavy load [MET], and] I cannot carry this very heavy load any more.
Mwen pa kapab reskonsab tout pèp sa a pou kont mwen. Chay la twò lou pou mwen.
15 If you intend to act like this toward me, kill me now. If you are really concerned about me, be kind to me and [kill me to] end my misery [of trying to take care of them]!”
Si se konsa w'ap aji avè m', tanpri, fè m' favè sa a: pito ou tou touye m' fin ak sa, pou m' pa wè m'ap pase tout malè sa a.
16 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Summon 70 men whom you know are leaders among the Israeli people. Tell them to stand with you in front of the Sacred Tent.
Seyè a di Moyiz konsa: -Sanble swasanndis nan chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl la, moun ou konnen ki gen otorite sou pèp la, ki konn bout yo. Mennen yo nan Tant Randevou a. Fè yo rete kanpe la avèk ou.
17 I will come down and talk with you there. Then I will take some of [the power of] my Spirit that you have, and I will put [that power] on them also. They will help you to take care of some of the things that the people are concerned about, in order that you will not need to do it alone.
M'ap desann epi m'a pale avè ou. M'a pran ti gout nan lespri mwen te ba ou a, m'a ba yo. Konsa, y'a ede ou pote reskonsablite pèp la, ou p'ap pote chay la pou kont ou ankò.
18 “Furthermore, say to the people, ‘Make yourselves acceptable to me, and tomorrow you will have meat to eat. You were complaining, and Yahweh heard you when you were saying, “We want some meat to eat. We had better food in Egypt!” Now Yahweh will give you some meat, and you will eat it.
W'a di pèp la menm: Pran nwit la pou nou pare kò nou pou nou ka fè sèvis pou mwen denmen maten. Epi n'a jwenn vyann pou nou manje. Seyè a te tande jan nou t'ap plenyen nan zòrèy li, jan nou t'ap di nou ta renmen jwenn vyann pou nou manje. Nou te pi bon lè nou te nan peyi Lejip. Koulye a, Seyè a pral ban nou vyann. Se pou nou manje l' ban mwen.
19 You will eat meat not only for one or two days, nor only for five or ten or 20 days.
Se pa sèlman yon jou, ni de jou, ni senk jou, ni dis jou, ni vin jou n'a jwenn vyann sa a pou nou manje.
20 [You will eat meat every day] for one month, and then you will loathe/despise it, and it will cause you to want to vomit. [This will happen] because you have rejected Yahweh who is here among you, and you have wailed in his presence, saying [“We would have had better food to eat] if we had not left Egypt [RHQ].”’”
Se va pandan tout yon mwa. N'a gen pou nou manje l' jouk l'a soti nan twou nen nou, jouk n'a rebite l', paske nou te vire do bay Bondye ki te la nan mitan nou an, nou t'ap plenyen nan zòrèy li, nou t'ap di nou pa t' dwe janm soti kite peyi Lejip.
21 But Moses/I replied to Yahweh, “There are 600,000 men [plus women and children] here with me, so ([why] do you say ‘I will give them plenty of meat every day for a month!’?/it does not seem right for you to say ‘I will give them plenty of meat every day for a month!’) [RHQ]
Moyiz di Seyè a: -Se sisanmil (600.000) moun wi ki sou kont mwen. Epi ou di w'ap ba yo vyann kont pou yo manje yon mwa.
22 Even if we killed all the sheep and cattle, that would not [RHQ] be enough [to provide meat for all of them] Even if we caught all the fish in the sea [and gave it to them], that would not be enough [RHQ]!”
Kote pou yo jwenn kantite mouton ak bèf pou touye ki pou ta kont pou yo? Si yo ta ka ranmase tout pwason ki nan lanmè, ou kwè li ta ase pou yo?
23 But Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Do you think that I [SYN] have no power? You will now see if I can do what I say I will do.”
Seyè a di Moyiz: -Pa gen bagay mwen vle fè mwen pa ka fè! Talè konsa w'a wè si sa m' di a p'ap rive vre.
24 So Moses/I went out [from the Sacred Tent] and told the people what Yahweh had said. Then he/I gathered together the 70 leaders and told them to stand around the Sacred Tent.
Se konsa Moyiz soti, li di pèp la tou sa Seyè a te di l'. Li pran swasanndis nan chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl la, li mete yo kanpe fè wonn kay Bondye a.
25 Then Yahweh came down in the cloud [that was above the tent] and spoke to Moses/me. He took some of [the power of] the Spirit that he had given to Moses/me and gave it to the 70 leaders. By means of the power of the Spirit within them, they (prophesied/spoke messages that Yahweh gave them), but they did that only once.
Seyè a desann nan yon nwaj, li pale ak Moyiz ankò. Apre sa, li pran ti gout nan lespri li te bay Moyiz la, li bay swasanndis chèf yo. Lè lespri a vin sou yo, yo tonbe pale tankou pwofèt yo sou tout kalite bagay. Apre sa, yo sispann.
26 Two of the leaders whom Moses/I appointed, Eldad and Medad, were not there when the rest of them gathered together. They had not left [their tents] to go and stand around the Sacred Tent. But Yahweh’s Spirit came on them also, and they started to (prophesy/speak messages from Yahweh).
Te gen de nan chèf fanmi yo te chwazi yo ki te rete nan kan an. Yo pa t' ale nan kay Bondye a. Yonn te rele Eldad, lòt la Medad. Lespri a te desann sou yo tou, yo t'ap pale pawòl Bondye a byen fò nan kan an.
27 So a young man ran and told Moses/me, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in all their tents!”
Yon jenn gason kouri al di Moyiz men Eldad ak Medad ap pale pawòl Bondye a byen fò nan kan an.
28 Joshua, who had helped Moses/me since he was a young man, said, “Sir, tell them to stop doing that!”
Lè sa a Jozye, pitit gason Noun lan, ki te adjwen Moyiz nan tou sa l' t'ap fè depi li te jenn tibway, pran lapawòl, li pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa: -Msye Moyiz, fè yo sispann non!
29 But Moses/I replied, “(Are you worried that they might injure my reputation/Do you think that I want to be the only one who prophesies) [RHQ]? I wish that all Yahweh’s people could (prophesy/speak messages from Yahweh). I wish that Yahweh would give the power of his Spirit to all of them!”
Moyiz reponn li: -Kouman? Ou gen lè w'ap fè jalouzi pou mwen? Pa pito Seyè a te mete lespri l' sou tout pèp la pou yo te ka pale tankou pwofèt!
30 Then Moses/I and all the leaders went back to their/our tents.
Apre sa, Moyiz tounen nan kan an ansanm ak swasanndis chèf fanmi yo.
31 Then Yahweh sent a strong wind from the sea. It blew quail into the area all around the camp for miles in every direction, [and caused the quail to fall onto the ground]. They were piled up on the ground about (3 feet/1 meter) high!
Apre sa, Seyè a fè yon sèl van soufle sot nan lanmè, li bwote yon bann zòtolan ki vin tonbe toupatou nan kan kote moun yo te rete a ak toutotou kan an. Yon moun ta gen dwa mache tout yon jounen nan nenpòt direksyon anvan pou l' ta kite kote zòtolan yo te tonbe a. Zòtolan yo te fè pil rive twa pye wotè sou tè a.
32 So the people went out and gathered up the quail all that day, and all that night, and all of the following day. [It seemed as though] everyone gathered at least 50 bushels! They spread the quail out on the ground all around the camp, [so that the quail would dry out].
Pèp la pase tout jounen an, tout nwit la, ak tout jounen denmen an ap ranmase zòtolan. Sa ki te ranmase pi piti a te ranmase dis barik pou tèt pa l'. Yo blayi yo atè toupatou nan kan an pou mete yo cheche.
33 [Then they cooked them and started to eat them]. But while they were still eating the meat [MTY], Yahweh [showed that he] was very angry with them. He struck them with a severe plague/sickness, [and many people died].
Yo te fèk konmanse manje vyann, lè Seyè a fè kòlè sou pèp la, li lage yon sèl epidemi sou yo pou pini yo.
34 The people who died and were buried were the ones who had said they wanted to eat meat [like they had formerly eaten in Egypt]. So they called that place Kibroth-Hattaavah, [which means ‘graves of those who craved’].
Yo rele kote sa a: Simityè Grangou, paske se la yo te antere tout moun nan pèp la ki t'ap plenyen pou vyann.
35 From there, the Israelis continued walking [east] until they arrived at Hazeroth [town], where they stopped and stayed [for a long time].
Apre sa, pèp la kite Simityè Grangou kote yo te ye a, yo pati pou Azewòt kote yo moute kay yo.
