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.
E aconteceu que o povo se queixou aos ouvidos do SENHOR: e ouviu-o o SENHOR, e ardeu seu furor, e acendeu-se neles fogo do SENHOR e consumiu a extremidade do acampamento.
2 Then the people cried out to Moses/me, and he/I prayed to Yahweh. Then the fire stopped burning.
Então o povo clamou a Moisés, e Moisés orou ao SENHOR, e o fogo se apagou.
3 So they called that place Taberah, [which means ‘burning’], because the fire from Yahweh had burned among them.
E chamou a aquele lugar Taberá; porque o fogo do SENHOR se acendeu neles.
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.
E o povo misturado que havia no meio deles teve um intenso desejo; então os filhos de Israel voltaram-se, choraram, e disseram: Quem nos dera comer carne!
5 They said, “We wish we had some meat!
Nós nos lembramos do peixe que comíamos no Egito de graça, dos pepinos, dos melões, dos alhos-porós, das cebolas, e dos alhos;
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!”
mas agora a nossa alma se seca; nada há, a não ser maná, [diante dos] nossos olhos.
7 The manna resembled small white seeds.
O maná era como semente de coentro, e sua cor como cor de bdélio.
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.
O povo se espalhava, e recolhia, e moía em moinhos, ou malhava em pilões, e o cozia em panelas, ou fazia dele bolos; e o seu sabor era como sabor de azeite fresco.
9 Each night the manna came down on their ground where their tents were, like dew [from the sky].
E quando o orvalho descia sobre o acampamento de noite, o maná descia sobre ele.
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.
E Moisés ouviu o povo chorar por suas famílias, cada um à porta de sua tenda; e o furor do SENHOR se acendeu grandemente; também pareceu mal a Moisés.
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]?
E Moisés disse ao SENHOR: Por que fizeste mal a teu servo? E por que não achei favor aos teus olhos, que puseste sobremim a carga de todo este povo?
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]?
Por acaso fui eu que concebi todo este povo? Fui o que o dei à luz, para que me digas: Leva-o em teu colo, como uma ama leva um bebê de peito, à terra da qual juraste a seus pais?
13 Where can I get meat to feed all these people? They keep complaining to me, saying, ‘Give us some meat to eat!’
De onde eu teria carne para dar a todo este povo? Porque choram a mim, dizendo: Dá-nos carne para comer.
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.
Não posso suportar sozinho todo este povo, porque é pesado demais para mim.
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]!”
E se assim fazes tu comigo, eu te rogo que me mates, se achei favor aos teus olhos; e que não me deixes ver a minha calamidade.
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.
Então o SENHOR disse a Moisés: Ajunta-me setenta homens dos anciãos de Israel, de quem sabes que são anciãos do povo, e seus oficiais; e traze-os à porta do tabernáculo do testemunho, e esperem ali contigo.
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.
E eu descerei e falarei ali contigo; e tomarei do espírito que está sobre ti, e [o] porei neles; e contigo levarão a carga do povo, para que tu não [a] leves sozinho.
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.
Porém dirás ao povo: Santificai-vos para amanhã, e comereis carne; porque chorastes em ouvidos do SENHOR, dizendo: Quem nos dera comer carne! Certamente estávamos bem no Egito! O SENHOR, pois, vos dará carne, e comereis.
19 You will eat meat not only for one or two days, nor only for five or ten or 20 days.
Não comereis um dia, nem dois dias, nem cinco dias, nem dez dias, nem vinte dias;
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].”’”
mas sim, um mês inteiro, até que vos saia pelas narinas, e sintais repulsa dela, porque rejeitastes o SENHOR que está no meio de vós, e chorastes diante dele, dizendo: Para que saímos do Egito?
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]
Então disse Moisés: Seiscentos mil a pé é este povo no meio do qual estou; e tu dizes: Eu lhes darei carne, e comerão um mês inteiro.
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]!”
Por acaso serão degoladas para eles ovelhas e bois que lhes bastem? Ou se ajuntarão para eles todos os peixes do mar para que lhes sejam suficientes?
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.”
Porém o SENHOR respondeu a Moisés: Por acaso o poder do SENHOR é curto? Agora verás se a minha palavra te acontecerá ou não.
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.
E Moisés saiu, e disse ao povo as palavras do SENHOR; e ajuntou setenta homens dos anciãos do povo, e os pôs ao redor da tenda.
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.
Então o SENHOR desceu na nuvem, e lhe falou; e tomou do espírito que estava sobre ele, e o pôs sobre aqueles setenta anciãos; e aconteceu que, quando o espírito repousou sobre eles, profetizaram, mas depois nunca mais.
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).
Porém ficaram no acampamento dois homens, um chamado Eldade e o outro Medade, sobre os quais o espírito também repousou (porque estavam entre os inscritos, mas não haviam saído à tenda); e profetizaram no acampamento.
27 So a young man ran and told Moses/me, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in all their tents!”
Então um jovem correu, e avisou a Moisés, e disse: Eldade e Medade estão profetizando no acampamento.
28 Joshua, who had helped Moses/me since he was a young man, said, “Sir, tell them to stop doing that!”
Então Josué, filho de Num, assistente de Moisés desde a sua juventude, respondeu, e disse: Meu senhor Moisés, impede-os.
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!”
E Moisés lhe respondeu: Tens tu ciúmes por mim? Bom seria se todos do povo do SENHOR fossem profetas, que o SENHOR pusesse seu Espírito sobre eles.
30 Then Moses/I and all the leaders went back to their/our tents.
E Moisés recolheu-se ao acampamento, ele e os anciãos de Israel.
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!
E saiu um vento do SENHOR, que trouxe codornizes do mar, e deixou-as sobre o acampamento, de um dia de caminho de um lado e do outro, ao redor do acampamento, e quase dois côvados sobre a face da terra.
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].
Então o povo se levantou e recolheu para si codornizes durante todo aquele dia, e toda a noite, e todo o dia seguinte. O que recolheu menos recolheu dez ômeres; e as estenderam para si ao redor do acampamento.
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].
A carne ainda estava entre os dentes deles, antes que fosse mastigada, quando o furor do SENHOR se acendeu no povo, e o SENHOR feriu o povo com uma praga muito grande.
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’].
Por isso aquele lugar recebeu o nome de Quibrote-Hataavá, porque ali sepultaram o povo que teve o desejo.
35 From there, the Israelis continued walking [east] until they arrived at Hazeroth [town], where they stopped and stayed [for a long time].
De Quibrote-Hataavá o povo partiu para Hazerote, e ficaram em Hazerote.
