< Numbers 11 >

1 And [when] the people complained, it displeased the LORD; and the LORD heard [it]: and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among them, and consumed [them that were] in the uttermost parts of the camp.
Awo abantu ne beemulugunya olw’ebizibu byabwe nga ne Mukama awulira; bwe yabawulira obusungu bwe ne bubuubuuka. Omuliro ne guva eri Mukama ne gwakira mu bo, ne gwokya ebitundu ebimu ebyali bikomererayo eby’olusiisira lwabwe.
2 And the people cried to Moses; and when Moses prayed to the LORD, the fire was quenched.
Abantu ne bakaabirira Musa; Musa n’asaba Mukama, omuliro ne guzikira.
3 And he called the name of the place Taberah; because the fire of the LORD burnt among them.
Ekifo ekyo ne kituumibwa erinnya Tabera, kubanga omuliro ogwava eri Mukama gwabaakiramu.
4 And the mixed multitude that [was] among them fell to lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
Abagwira abaali beetabudde mu baana ba Isirayiri ne baluluunkanira ebyokulya; n’abaana ba Isirayiri nabo ne bongera okukaaba nga bwe bagamba nti, “Singa nno tufuna ku nnyama ne tulyako!
5 We remember the fish which we ate in Egypt freely: the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic:
Tukyajjukira ebyennyanja bye twalyanga mu Misiri nga tewali na kye tubisasulidde, ne wujju n’ensujju, n’enderema n’obutungulu ne katungulukyumu n’ebyokuliira.
6 But now our soul [is] dried away; [there is] nothing at all, besides this manna, [before] our eyes.
Naye kaakano n’okwoya emmere kutuweddemu, buli we tukuba eriiso tulaba mmaanu eno!”
7 And the manna [was] as coriander-seed, and the color of it as the color of bdellium.
Emmaanu yafaanananga ng’ensigo za koliyanda, nga n’ekifaananyi kyayo kiri ng’ekya bideriamu.
8 [And] the people went about, and gathered [it] and ground [it] in mills, or beat [it] in a mortar, and baked [it] in pans, and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil.
Abantu baagendanga ne bagikuŋŋaanya ne bagiseera ku lubengo oba ne bagisekulira mu binu, ne bagifumba mu ntamu oba ne bakolamu bukeeke. Nga mu kamwa ebanga ekoleddwa n’amafuta ga zeyituuni.
9 And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it.
Omusulo bwe gwagwanga mu lusiisira ekiro n’emmaanu nayo n’egwa nagwo.
10 Then Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, every man in the door of his tent: and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly: Moses also was displeased.
Musa n’awulira abantu aba buli luggya nga bakaaba, buli omu ng’akaabira mu muzigo gw’eweema ye; obusungu bwa Mukama Katonda ne bubuubuuka nnyo, ne Musa n’asoberwa n’anyiikaala.
11 And Moses said to the LORD, Why hast thou afflicted thy servant? and why have I not found favor in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?
Musa n’agamba Mukama Katonda nti, “Lwaki oleetedde omuddu wo obuzibu buno? Nkoze ki ekitakusanyusizza ne kikuleetera okwetikka omugugu gw’abantu bano bonna?
12 Have I conceived all this people? have I begotten them, that thou shouldest say to me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing-father beareth the sucking child, to the land which thou sworest to their fathers?
Nze nali olubuto omwali abantu bano bonna? Nze nabazaala? Lwaki oŋŋamba okubasitula mu mikono gyange ng’omulezi w’abaana bw’asitula omwana omuwere mbatwale mu nsi gye wabasuubiza ng’ogirayirira bajjajjaabwe?
13 Whence should I have flesh to give to all this people? for they weep to me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.
Ennyama abantu bano bonna gye banaalya nnaagiggya wa? Kubanga baneetayirira nga bankaabirira nti, ‘Tuwe ennyama tulye!’
14 I am not able to bear all this people alone, because [it is] too heavy for me.
Sisobola kusitula bantu bano bonna bw’omu kubanga obuzito bwabwe buyinza okummenya nga ndi nzekka.
15 And if thou dealest thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favor in thy sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.
Obanga bw’otyo bw’ojja okumpisa, ate nga bulijjo ondaga ekisa kyo, kale nno nzitiraawo kaakano oleme kundeka ne neereetera okwezikiriza.”
16 And the LORD said to Moses, Gather to me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them to the tabernacle of the congregation, that they may stand there with thee.
Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Nfunira abasajja nsanvu mu bakulu ba Isirayiri b’omanyi nga be bakulu b’abantu era nga be bakulembeze baabwe obaleete ku Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, bayimirire awo naawe.
17 And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I will take of the spirit which [is] upon thee, and will put [it] upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou mayest not bear it thyself alone.
Nzija kukka awo njogere naawe; era nzija kutoola ku mwoyo oguli mu ggwe ngubateekemu, balyokenga bakusitulireko omugugu gw’abantu oleme kugwetikkanga wekka.
18 And say thou to the people, Sanctify yourselves against to-morrow, and ye shall eat flesh; for ye have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for [it was] well with us in Egypt: therefore the LORD will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.
“Abantu bagambe nti, ‘Mwetukuze nga mwetegekera olunaku lw’enkya, lwe mujja okulya ennyama. Kubanga Mukama Katonda yabawulira nga mumukaabirira bwe muti nti, “Singa tufunye ku nnyama ne tulyako! Bwe twali mu Misiri twali bulungi!” Noolwekyo Mukama ajja kubawa ennyama mugirye.
19 Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days;
Temugenda kugirya mu lunaku lumu, oba mu nnaku bbiri, oba mu nnaku ttaano, oba mu nnaku kkumi, oba nnaku abiri;
20 [But] even a whole month, until it shall come out at your nostrils, and it be lothsome to you; because ye have despised the LORD who [is] among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?
naye kumala mwezi mulambirira, okutuusa lw’erifulumira mu nnyindo zammwe n’ebanyiwa, kubanga mwesamudde Mukama Katonda abeera mu mmwe, ne mumukaabirira nga mugamba nti, “Mu Misiri twaviirayo ki?”’”
21 And Moses said, The people among whom I [am], [are] six hundred thousand footmen; and thou hast said, I will give them flesh, that they may eat a whole month.
Musa n’agamba nti, “Abantu bano mwe ndi bawera omuwendo gwa mitwalo nkaaga abatambuza ebigere, naawe ogamba nti, ‘Nzija kubawa ennyama gye banaalya okumala omwezi mulamba!’
22 Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them, to suffice for them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered for them, to suffice for them?
Ebisolo ebiri mu biraalo ne mu bisibo bwe binattibwa binaabamala? Nantiki ebyennyanja byonna eby’omu nnyanja bwe binaavubibwa ne bibaweebwa, binaabamala?”
23 And the LORD said to Moses, Is the LORD'S hand shortened? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass to thee, or not.
Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Omukono gwa Mukama Katonda guyimpawadde? Kaakano ojja kulaba obanga ekigambo kyange kye nkugambye kinaatuukirira oba tekiituukirire.”
24 And Moses went out, and told the people the words of the LORD, and gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them around the tabernacle.
Awo Musa n’afuluma n’ategeeza abantu ebigambo bya Mukama Katonda; n’akuŋŋaanya abasajja nsanvu mu bakulembeze b’abantu n’abayimiriza okumpi ne Weema ya Mukama.
25 And the LORD came down in a cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the spirit that [was] upon him, and gave [it] to the seventy elders: and it came to pass, [that] when the spirit rested upon them; they prophesied, and did not cease.
Awo Mukama Katonda n’akkira mu kire n’ayogera ne Musa, n’addira ku mwoyo ogwali mu Musa n’agussa mu bakulembeze ensanvu. Omwoyo bwe baagufuna ne batandika okutegeeza obunnabbi, kyokka tebaddayo nate kukikola.
26 But there remained two [of the] men in the camp, the name of the one [was] Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the spirit rested upon them, and they [were] of them that were described, but went not out to the tabernacle: and they prophesied in the camp.
Waaliwo abasajja babiri nga bayitibwa Eridaadi ne Medadi, baali babaliddwa ku bakulembeze ensanvu, naye bo ne basigala mu lusiisira, ne batagenda ku Weema ya Mukama; nabo baafuna omwoyo, era ne bategeeza obunnabbi mu lusiisira.
27 And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp.
Omuvubuka n’adduka n’agenda ategeeza Musa nti, “Eridaadi ne Medadi bategeeza obunnabbi mu lusiisira.”
28 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, [one] of his young men, answered and said, My lord, Moses, forbid them.
Awo Yoswa mutabani wa Nuuni, omuweereza wa Musa gwe yali yeerondedde ng’akyali muvubuka n’agamba nti, “Mukama wange Musa, baziyize.”
29 And Moses said to him, Enviest thou for my sake? I would that all the LORD'S people were prophets, [and] that the LORD would put his spirit upon them.
Naye Musa n’amugamba nti, “Okwatiddwa obuggya ku lwange? Kyandibadde kirungi singa abantu ba Mukama bonna bannabbi, ne Mukama Katonda n’abawa omwoyo gwe!”
30 And Moses withdrew into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
Musa n’abakulembeze ba Isirayiri ne baddayo mu lusiisira.
31 And there went forth a wind from the LORD, and brought quails from the sea, and let [them] fall by the camp, as it were a day's journey on this side, and as it were a day's journey on the other side, around the camp, and as it were two cubits [high] upon the face of the earth.
Awo empewo n’eva eri Mukama Katonda n’ereeta obugubi nga buva mu nnyanja ne bugwa okwebungulula olusiisira nga bukoze entuumo nga ya mita emu okuva ku ttaka, nga bujjuza ebbanga lya lugendo lwa lunaku lumu ku ludda olumu olw’olusiisira n’olugendo lwa lunaku lumu ku ludda olulala.
32 And the people stood up all that day, and all [that] night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails: he that gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread [them] all abroad for themselves around the camp.
Ku lunaku olwo ne ku lunaku olwaddirira abantu ne bakuŋŋaanya obugubi emisana n’ekiro. Tewali yakuŋŋaanya buzito bwakka wansi wa kilo lukumi; ne babwanika buli wantu mu lusiisira.
33 And while the flesh [was] yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the wrath of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the LORD smote the people with a very great plague.
Naye ennyama yali ekyali mu mannyo gaabwe nga tebannaba kugirya, obusungu bwa Mukama Katonda ne bubuubuukira abantu n’abaleetera kawumpuli ow’amaanyi ennyo.
34 And he called the name of that place Kibroth-hattaavah: because there they buried the people that lusted.
Noolwekyo ekifo ekyo kyekyava kituumibwa Kiberosu Katava, kubanga awo we baaziika abantu abaalina omulugube.
35 [And] the people journeyed from Kibroth-hattaavah to Hazeroth: and abode at Hazeroth.
Abantu bwe baava e Kiberosu Katava ne batambula okutuuka e Kazerosi ne babeera awo.
