Numbers 11
1 Now the people complained about their troubles as Yahweh listened. Yahweh heard the people and became angry. Fire from Yahweh burned among them and consumed some of the camp on its edges.
Og Folket blev som de, der knurre syndig for Herrens Øren; og Herren hørte det, og hans Vrede optændtes, og Herrens Ild brændte iblandt dem og fortærede nogle i det yderste af Lejren.
2 Then people called out to Moses, so Moses prayed to Yahweh, and the fire stopped.
Da raabte Folket til Mose, og Mose bad til Herren, saa blev Ilden dæmpet.
3 That place was named Taberah, because Yahweh's fire burned among them.
Og han kaldte det samme Steds Navn Thabeera; thi Herrens Ild brændte iblandt dem.
4 Some foreign people began to camp with Israel's descendants. They wanted better food to eat. Then the people of Israel began to weep and say, “Who will give us meat to eat?
Og det sammenløbne Folk, som var midt iblandt dem, fik stor Begærlighed; derfor gav ogsaa Israels Børn sig til at græde igen og sagde: Hvo vil give os Kød at æde?
5 We remember the fish that we ate freely in Egypt, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic.
Vi komme i Hu den Fisk, som vi aade for intet i Ægypten, Græskarrene og Melonerne og Porrene og Rødløgene og Hvidløgene;
6 Now our appetite is gone, because all we can see is this manna.”
men nu forsmægter vor Sjæl; thi her er slet intet uden det Man for vore Øjne.
7 Manna was like coriander seed. It looked like resin.
Men dette Man var som Korianderfrø, og dets Farve var ligesom Bedellions Farve.
8 The people walked around and gathered it. They ground it in mills, beat it in mortars, boiled it in pots, and made it into cakes. It tasted like fresh olive oil.
Folket løb hid og did og sankede og malede det i Møllerne eller stødte det i Morteren og kogte det i Potten og gjorde deraf Kager; og dets Smag var som Oliesaftens Smag.
9 When the dew fell on the camp in the night, the manna also fell.
Og naar Duggen faldt over Lejren om Natten, da faldt Man ned derpaa.
10 Moses heard the people weeping in their families, and every man was at the entrance to his tent. Yahweh was very angry, and in Moses' eyes their complaining was wrong.
Og Mose hørte Folket græde iblandt deres Slægter, hver i sit Telts Dør; og Herrens Vrede optændtes saare; ogsaa var det ondt for Mose Øjne.
11 Moses said to Yahweh, “Why have you treated your servant so badly? Why are you not pleased with me? You make me carry the load of all these people.
Og Mose sagde til Herren: Hvi handlede du saa ilde med din Tjener? og hvi finder jeg ikke Naade for dine Øjne, og du lægger Byrden af hele dette Folk paa mig?
12 Did I conceive all these people? Have I given them birth so that you should say to me, 'Carry them closely to your chest as a father carries a baby?' Should I carry them to the land that you swore to their ancestors to give them?
Mon jeg har undfanget alt dette Folk? mon jeg har født det? at du skulde sige til mig: Bær det i din Favn, ligesom en Fosterfader bærer det diende Barn, ind i det Land, som du har tilsvoret dets Fædre.
13 Where can I find meat to give to all this people? They are weeping in front of me and are saying, 'Give us meat to eat.'
Hvorfra skal jeg tage Kød at give alt dette Folk? thi de græde for mig og sige: Giv os Kød, at vi kunne æde.
14 I cannot bear all these people alone. They are too much for me.
Jeg kan ikke ene bære alt dette Folk; thi det er mig for svart.
15 Since you are treating me this way, kill me now—if I find favor in your eyes—do not let me see my misery.”
Og vil du handle saaledes med mig, da slaa mig ihjel, dersom jeg har fundet Naade for dine Øjne, og lad mig ikke se paa min Ulykke.
16 Yahweh said to Moses, “Bring to me seventy of Israel's elders. Be sure that they are elders and officers of the people. Bring them to the tent of meeting to stand there with you.
Og Herren sagde til Mose: Forsamle mig halvfjerdsindstyve Mænd af Israels Ældste, om hvilke du ved, at de ere Folkets Ældste og dets Fogeder; og du skal tage dem hen til Forsamlingens Paulun, og der skulle de fremstille sig med dig.
17 I will come down and talk with you there. I will take some of the Spirit that is on you and put it on them. They will bear the burden of the people with you. You will not have to bear it alone.
Og jeg vil komme ned og tale med dig der, og jeg vil tage af den Aand, som er paa dig, og lægge paa dem, at de skulle bære paa Folkets Byrde med dig, og du skal ikke ene bære den.
18 Say to the people, 'Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow and you will indeed eat meat, for you have wept and Yahweh has heard. You said, “Who will give us meat to eat? It was good for us in Egypt.” Therefore Yahweh will give you meat, and you will eat it.
Og til Folket skal du sige: Helliger eder til i Morgen, saa skulle I æde Kød; thi I have grædt for Herrens Øren og sagt: Hvo vil give os Kød at æde? thi det gik os vel i Ægypten; derfor vil Herren give eder Kød, at I skulle æde.
19 You will not eat meat for only one day, two days, five days, ten days, or twenty days,
I skulle ikke æde een Dag og ej to Dage og ej fem Dage og ej ti Dage og ej tyve Dage,
20 but you will eat meat for a whole month until it comes out of your nostrils. It will disgust you because you have rejected Yahweh, who is among you. You have wept before him. You said, “Why did we leave Egypt?”'”
men en Maaneds Dage, indtil det gaar ud af eders Næse og er eder til en Afsky; fordi I have forkastet Herren, som er midt iblandt eder, og have grædt for hans Ansigt og sagt: Hvortil ere vi udgangne af Ægypten?
21 Then Moses said, “I am with 600,000 people, and you have said, 'I will give them meat to eat for a whole month.'
Og Mose sagde: Seks Hundrede Tusinde Mænd til Fods er dette Folk, som jeg er midt iblandt, og du siger: Jeg vil give dem Kød, og de skulle æde en Maaneds Tid.
22 Should we kill flocks and herds to satisfy them? Should we catch all the fish in the sea to satisfy them?”
Mon der skal slagtes smaat Kvæg og stort Kvæg for dem, at der kan blive nok til dem? mon alle Fiskene i Havet skulle samles til dem, at der kan blive nok til dem?
23 Yahweh said to Moses, “Is my hand short? Now you will see whether or not my word is true.”
Og Herren sagde til Mose: Monne da Herrens Haand være forkortet? nu skal du se, om mit Ord skal vederfares dig eller ej.
24 Moses went out and told the people Yahweh's words. He gathered seventy of the people's elders and positioned them around the tent.
Og Mose gik ud og talede Herrens Ord til Folket; og han samlede halvfjerdsindstyve Mænd af Folkets Ældste og stillede dem rundt omkring Paulunet.
25 Yahweh came down in the cloud and spoke to Moses. Yahweh took some of the Spirit that was on Moses and put it on the seventy elders. When the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied, but only on that occasion and not again.
Da kom Herren ned i Skyen og talede til ham, og han tog af den Aand, som var paa ham, og lagde paa de halvfjerdsindstyve Ældste, og det skete, der Aanden hvilede paa dem, da profeterede de, og de gjorde det ikke siden.
26 Two men remained in the camp, named Eldad and Medad. The Spirit also rested on them. Their names were written on the list, but they had not gone out to the tent. Nevertheless, they prophesied in the camp.
Men der var to Mænd blevne tilbage i Lejren, den enes Navn var Eldad, og den andens Navn Medad, og Aanden hvilede over dem, thi de vare iblandt de opskrevne, men de vare dog ikke udgangne til Paulunet, og de profeterede i Lejren.
27 A young man in the camp ran and told Moses, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.”
Da løb en Dreng og gav Mose tilkende og sagde: Eldad og Medad profetere i Lejren.
28 Joshua son of Nun, Moses' assistant, one of his chosen men, said to Moses, “My master Moses, stop them.”
Da svarede Josva, Nuns Søn, Mose Tjener, en af hans udvalgte, og sagde: Min Herre, Mose! forhindre dem.
29 Moses said to him, “Are you jealous for my sake? I wish that all of Yahweh's people were prophets and that he would put his Spirit on them all!”
Men Mose sagde til ham: Er du nidkær for mig? gid alt Herrens Folk var Profeter, og Herren vilde give sin Aand over dem!
30 Then Moses and the elders of Israel went back to the camp.
Og Mose forføjede sig til Lejren, han og de Ældste af Israel.
31 Then a wind came from Yahweh and brought quail from the sea. They fell near the camp, about a day's journey on one side and a day's journey on the other side. The quail surrounded the camp about two cubits above the ground.
Da for der et Vejr ud fra Herren og førte Vagtler fra Havet og strøede dem over Lejren, ved en Dags Rejse til den ene og ved en Dags Rejse til den anden Side, trindt omkring Lejren, og ved to Alen højt paa Jorden.
32 The people were busy gathering quail all that day, all the night, and all the next day. No one gathered less than ten homers of quail. They shared the quail all through the camp.
Da stod Folket op hele den Dag og hele den Nat og hele den anden Dag, og de sankede Vagtler; hvo der havde mindst, havde samlet ti Homer; og de bredte dem trindt omkring Lejren.
33 While the meat was still between their teeth, while they were chewing it, Yahweh became angry at them. He attacked the people with a very great disease.
Kødet var endnu imellem Tænderne paa dem, det var endnu ikke fortæret; da optændtes Herrens Vrede imod Folket, og Herren slog Folket med en saare stor Plage.
34 That place was named Kibroth Hattaavah, because there they buried the people who had craved meat.
Og man kaldte det Steds Navn Kibroth-Hattaava, fordi de der begrove Folket, dem, som havde været begærlige.
35 From Kibroth Hattaavah the people traveled to Hazeroth, where they stayed.
Fra Kibroth-Hattaava rejste Folket til Hazeroth; og de bleve i Hazeroth.
