< 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.
Àwọn ènìyàn ń ṣe àròyé nípa wàhálà wọn sí etí ìgbọ́ Olúwa. Ìbínú Olúwa sì ru sókè nígbà tí ó gbọ́ àròyé yìí. Nígbà náà ni iná jáde láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa bọ́ sí àárín wọn, ó sì run àwọn tó wà ní òpin ibùdó.
2 Then the people cried out to Moses/me, and he/I prayed to Yahweh. Then the fire stopped burning.
Nígbà náà ni àwọn ènìyàn kígbe sí Mose, Mose sì gbàdúrà sí Olúwa iná náà sì kú.
3 So they called that place Taberah, [which means ‘burning’], because the fire from Yahweh had burned among them.
Wọ́n sì ń pe ibẹ̀ ní Tabera nítorí pé, iná láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa jó láàrín wọn.
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.
Àwọn ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn aláìníláárí tó wà láàrín àwọn ọmọ Israẹli pẹ̀lú ọkàn ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ wọn fi ìtara béèrè fún oúnjẹ mìíràn, àwọn ọmọ Israẹli náà bá bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í sọkún wí pé, “Bí i pé kí á rí ẹran jẹ báyìí!
5 They said, “We wish we had some meat!
Àwa rántí ẹja tí à ń jẹ lọ́fẹ̀ẹ́ ní Ejibiti, apálà, bàrà, ewébẹ̀, àlùbọ́sà àti àwọn ẹ̀fọ́ mìíràn.
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!”
Ṣùgbọ́n báyìí gbogbo ara wa ti gbẹ, kò sí ohun mìíràn láti jẹ àfi manna nìkan tí a rí yìí!”
7 The manna resembled small white seeds.
Manna náà dàbí èso korianderi, ìrísí rẹ̀ sì dàbí oje igi.
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.
Àwọn ènìyàn náà ń lọ káàkiri láti kó o, wọn ó lọ̀ ọ́ lórí ọlọ tàbí kí wọ́n gún un nínú odó. Wọ́n le sè é nínú ìkòkò tàbí kí wọn ó fi ṣe àkàrà, adùn rẹ̀ yóò sì dàbí adùn ohun tí a fi òróró ṣe.
9 Each night the manna came down on their ground where their tents were, like dew [from the sky].
Nígbà tí ìrì bá ẹ̀ sí ibùdó lórí ni manna náà máa ń bọ́ pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.
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.
Mose sì gbọ́ tí àwọn ènìyàn ń sọkún ní gbogbo ìdílé wọn, oníkálùkù ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgọ́ tirẹ̀. Olúwa sì bínú gidigidi. Inú Mose sì bàjẹ́ pẹ̀lú.
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]?
Mose sì béèrè lọ́wọ́ Olúwa pé, “Kí ló dé tí o fi mú wàhálà yìí bá ìránṣẹ́ rẹ? Kí ni mo ṣe tí n kò fi tẹ ọ lọ́rùn tí ìwọ fi di ẹrù àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí lé mi lórí.
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]?
Èmi ni mo ha lóyún gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí bí? Àbí èmi ló bí wọn? Tí ìwọ fi sọ fún mi pé, máa gbé wọn sí oókan àyà rẹ, gẹ́gẹ́ bí abiyamọ ti máa ń gbe ọmọ ọmú lọ sí ilẹ̀ tí o ti búra láti fún àwọn baba ńlá wọn.
13 Where can I get meat to feed all these people? They keep complaining to me, saying, ‘Give us some meat to eat!’
Níbo ni n ó ti rí ẹran fún àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí? Nítorí wọ́n ń sọkún sí mi pé, ‘Fún wa lẹ́ran jẹ́!’
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.
Èmi nìkan kò lè dágbé wàhálà àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí, ẹrù wọn ti wúwo jù fún mi.
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]!”
Bí ó bá sì ṣe pé báyìí ni ìwọ ó ṣe máa ṣe fún mi, kúkú pa mí báyìí, tí mo bá ti bá ojúrere rẹ pàdé—kí ojú mi má ba à rí ìparun mi.”
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.
Nígbà náà ni Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé, “Mú àádọ́rin ọkùnrin nínú àwọn àgbàgbà àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, àwọn tí o mọ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí olórí àti olóyè láàrín àwọn ènìyàn wá sínú àgọ́ ìpàdé, kí wọ́n lé dúró níwájú mi.
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.
Èmi ó sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá bá yín sọ̀rọ̀ níbẹ̀. Èmi ó sì mú díẹ̀ nínú agbára Ẹ̀mí tí ń bẹ lára rẹ láti fi sí orí àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí. Wọn ó sì máa ràn ọ́ lọ́wọ́ láti ru àjàgà àwọn ènìyàn kí ó má ṣe pé ìwọ nìkan ni ó o máa ru àjàgà náà.
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.
“Sọ fún àwọn ènìyàn náà pé, ‘Ẹ ya ara yín sí mímọ́ ní ìmúrasílẹ̀ fún ọ̀la, ẹ ó sì jẹ ẹran. Nítorí pé Olúwa ti gbọ́ igbe ẹkún yín, èyí tí ẹ sun pé, “Ìbá ṣe pé a lè rí ẹran jẹ ni! Ó sàn fún wa ní Ejibiti jù báyìí lọ!” Nítorí náà ni Olúwa yóò fi fún yín ní ẹran, ẹ ó sì jẹ ẹ́.
19 You will eat meat not only for one or two days, nor only for five or ten or 20 days.
Ẹ kò ní i jẹ ẹ́ fún ọjọ́ kan, ọjọ́ méjì, ọjọ́ márùn-ún, ọjọ́ mẹ́wàá tàbí ogúnjọ́ lásán,
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].”’”
ṣùgbọ́n fún odidi oṣù kan, títí tí ẹran náà yóò fi máa yọ ní imú yín, tí yóò sì sú yín, nítorí pé ẹ ti kẹ́gàn Olúwa tí ó wà láàrín yín, ẹ sì ti sọkún fún un wí pé, “Kí ló dé tí a fi kúrò ní Ejibiti gan an?”’”
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]
Ṣùgbọ́n Mose sọ pé, “Mo wà láàrín ọgbọ̀n ọ̀kẹ́ ènìyàn ni ìrìnkiri, ó sì sọ pé, ‘Èmi ó fún wọn ní ẹran láti jẹ fún oṣù kan gbáko!’
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]!”
Ǹjẹ́ bí a tilẹ̀ pa àgbò ẹran àti ọmọ ẹran, yóò ha tó wọn bí? Tàbí bí a tilẹ̀ pa gbogbo ẹja inú omi fún wọn, yóò wa tó bí?”
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.”
Olúwa sì dá Mose lóhùn pé, “Ọwọ́ Olúwa ha kúrú bí? Ìwọ yóò ri nísinsin yìí bóyá ọ̀rọ̀ tí mo sọ yóò ṣẹ tàbí kò ni í ṣẹ.”
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.
Mose sì jáde, ó sọ ohun tí Olúwa wí fún àwọn ènìyàn. Ó mú àwọn àádọ́rin àgbàgbà Israẹli dúró yí àgọ́ ká.
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.
Nígbà náà ni Olúwa sọ̀kalẹ̀ nínú àwọ̀ sánmọ̀ ó sì bá wọn sọ̀rọ̀, ó sì mú lára Ẹ̀mí tó wà lára Mose sí ara àwọn àádọ́rin àgbàgbà náà, Ó sì ṣẹlẹ̀ pé nígbà tí Ẹ̀mí náà bà lé wọn, wọ́n sọtẹ́lẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n lẹ́yìn èyí wọn kò sọtẹ́lẹ̀ mọ́.
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).
Àwọn ọkùnrin méjì, tí orúkọ wọn ń jẹ́ Eldadi àti Medadi kò kúrò nínú àgọ́. Orúkọ wọn wà lára àádọ́rin àgbàgbà yìí ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò jáde nínú àgọ́ síbẹ̀ Ẹ̀mí náà bà lé wọn, wọ́n sì sọtẹ́lẹ̀ nínú àgọ́.
27 So a young man ran and told Moses/me, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in all their tents!”
Ọmọkùnrin kan sì sáré lọ sọ fún Mose pé, “Eldadi àti Medadi ń sọtẹ́lẹ̀ nínú àgọ́.”
28 Joshua, who had helped Moses/me since he was a young man, said, “Sir, tell them to stop doing that!”
Joṣua ọmọ Nuni tí í ṣe ìránṣẹ́ Mose, láti kékeré tó jẹ́ ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ dáhùn pé, “Mose olúwa mi, dá wọn lẹ́kun!”
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!”
Mose sì wí fún un pé, “Àbí ìwọ ń jowú nítorí mi? Ìbá ti wù mí tó, kí gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn Olúwa jẹ́ wòlíì, kí Olúwa sì fi Ẹ̀mí rẹ̀ sí wọn lára!”
30 Then Moses/I and all the leaders went back to their/our tents.
Mose àti àwọn àgbàgbà Israẹli yìí sì padà sínú àgọ́.
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!
Afẹ́fẹ́ sì jáde láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa ó sì kó àparò wá láti inú Òkun. Ó sì dà wọ́n káàkiri gbogbo ibùdó ní ìwọ̀n gíga ẹsẹ̀ bàtà mẹ́ta sórí ilẹ̀, bí ìwọ̀n ìrìn ọjọ́ kan ní gbogbo àyíká.
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].
Ní gbogbo ọjọ́ náà àti òru, títí dé ọjọ́ kejì ni àwọn ènìyàn fi ń kó àparò yìí, ẹni tó kó kéré jùlọ kó ìwọ̀n homeri mẹ́wàá, wọ́n sì ṣà wọ́n sílẹ̀ fún ara wọn yí gbogbo ibùdó.
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].
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ẹran náà sì wà láàrín eyín wọn, kó tó di pé wọ́n jẹ ẹ́, ìbínú Olúwa sì ru sí àwọn ènìyàn, ó sì pa wọ́n pẹ̀lú àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn.
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’].
Torí èyí ni wọ́n ṣe pe ibẹ̀ ní Kibirotu-Hattaafa nítorí pé níbẹ̀ ni wọ́n gbé sìnkú àwọn ènìyàn tó ní ọ̀kánjúwà oúnjẹ sí.
35 From there, the Israelis continued walking [east] until they arrived at Hazeroth [town], where they stopped and stayed [for a long time].
Àwọn ènìyàn yòókù sì gbéra láti Kibirotu-Hattaafa lọ pa ibùdó sí Haserotu wọ́n sì dúró níbẹ̀.
