< Numbers 11 >

1 The people were complaining in the ears of the LORD. When the LORD heard it, his anger burned; and the LORD’s fire burned among them, and consumed some of the outskirts of the camp.
茲に民災難に罹れる者のごとくにヱホバの耳に呟きぬヱホバその怨言を聞て震怒を發したまひければヱホバの火かれらに向ひて燃いでその營の極端を燒り
2 The people cried to Moses; and Moses prayed to the LORD, and the fire abated.
是に於て民モーセに呼はりしがモーセ、ヱホバに祈ければその火鎮りぬ
3 The name of that place was called Taberah, because the LORD’s fire burned among them.
ヱホバの火かれらに向ひて燃出たるに因てその處の名をタベラ(燃)と稱ぶ
4 The mixed multitude that was among them lusted exceedingly; and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, “Who will give us meat to eat?
茲に彼等の中なる衆多の寄集人等慾心を起すイスラエルの子孫もまた再び哭て言ふ誰か我らに肉を與へて食しめんか
5 We remember the fish, which we ate in Egypt for nothing; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic;
憶ひ出るに我等エジプトにありし時は魚黄瓜水瓜韮葱靑蒜等を心のままに食へり
6 but now we have lost our appetite. There is nothing at all except this manna to look at.”
然るに今は我儕の精神枯衰ふ我らの目の前にはこのマナの外何も有ざるなりと
7 The manna was like coriander seed, and it looked like bdellium.
マナは莞荽の實のごとくにしてその色はブドラクの色のごとし
8 The people went around, gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in mortars, and boiled it in pots, and made cakes of it. Its taste was like the taste of fresh oil.
民行巡りてこれを斂め石磨にひき或は臼に搗てこれを釜の中に煮て餅となせりその味は油菓子の味のごとし
9 When the dew fell on the camp in the night, the manna fell on it.
夜にいりて露營に降る時にマナその上に降れり
10 Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, every man at the door of his tent; and the LORD’s anger burned greatly; and Moses was displeased.
モーセ聞に民の家々の者おのおのその天幕の門口に哭く是におひてヱホバ烈しく怒を發したまふこの事またモーセの目にも惡く見ゆ
11 Moses said to the LORD, “Why have you treated your servant so badly? Why haven’t I found favor in your sight, that you lay the burden of all this people on me?
モーセすなはちヱホバに言けるは汝なんぞ僕を惡くしたまふ乎いかなれば我汝の前に恩を獲ずして汝かく此すべての民をわが任となして我に負せたまふや
12 Have I conceived all this people? Have I brought them out, that you should tell me, ‘Carry them in your bosom, as a nurse carries a nursing infant, to the land which you swore to their fathers’?
この總體の民は我が姙みし者ならんや我が生し者ならんや然るに汝なんぞ我に慈父が乳哺子を抱くがごとくに彼らを懐に抱きて汝が昔日かれらの先祖等に誓ひたまひし地に至れと言たまふや
13 Where could I get meat to give all these people? For they weep before me, saying, ‘Give us meat, that we may eat.’
我何處より肉を得てこの總體の民に與へんや彼等は我にむかひて哭き我等に肉を與へて食しめよと言なり
14 I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.
我は一人にてはこの總體の民をわが任として負ことあたはず是は我には重きに過ればなり
15 If you treat me this way, please kill me right now, if I have found favor in your sight; and don’t let me see my wretchedness.”
我もし汝の前に恩を獲ば請ふ斯我を爲んよりは寧ろ直に我を殺したまへ我をしてわが困苦を見せしめたまふ勿れ
16 The LORD said to Moses, “Gather to me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people and officers over them; and bring them to the Tent of Meeting, that they may stand there with you.
是においてヱホバ、モーセに言たまはくイスラエルの老人の中民の長老たり有司たるを汝が知るところの者七十人を我前に集め集會の幕屋に携きたりて其處に汝とともに立しめよ
17 I will come down and talk with you there. I will take of the Spirit which is on you, and will put it on them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, that you don’t bear it yourself alone.
我降りて其處にて汝と言はん又われ汝の上にあるところの霊を彼等にも分ち與へん彼等汝とともに民の任を負ひ汝をして只一人にて之を負ふこと無らしむべし
18 “Say to the people, ‘Sanctify yourselves in preparation for tomorrow, and you will eat meat; for you have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying, “Who will give us meat to eat? For it was well with us in Egypt.” Therefore the LORD will give you meat, and you will eat.
汝また民に告て言へ汝等身を潔めて明日を待て必ず肉を食ふことを得ん汝等ヱホバの耳に哭て誰か我等に肉を與へて食しめん我らエジプトにありし時は却て善りしと言たればヱホバなんぢらに肉を與へて食しめたまふべし
19 You will not eat just one day, or two days, or five days, or ten days, or twenty days,
汝等がこれを食ふは一日や二日や五日や十日や二十日にはあらずして
20 but a whole month, until it comes out at your nostrils, and it is loathsome to you; because you have rejected the LORD who is among you, and have wept before him, saying, “Why did we come out of Egypt?”’”
一月におよび遂に汝らの鼻より出るにいたらん汝等これに饜はつべし是なんぢら己等の中にいますヱホバを軽んじてその前に哭き我等何とてエジプトより出しやと言たればなり
21 Moses said, “The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand men on foot; and you have said, ‘I will give them meat, that they may eat a whole month.’
モーセ言けるは我が偕にをる民は歩卒のみにても六十萬あり然るに汝は我かれらに肉を與へて一月の間食しめんと言たまふ
22 Shall flocks and herds be slaughtered for them, to be sufficient for them? Shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to be sufficient for them?”
羊と牛の群を宰るとも彼等を飽しむることを得んや海の魚をことごとく集むるとも彼等を飽しむることを得んや
23 The LORD said to Moses, “Has the LORD’s hand grown short? Now you will see whether my word will happen to you or not.”
ヱホバ、モーセに言たまはくヱホバの手短からんや吾言の成と然らざるとは汝今これを見るあらん
24 Moses went out, and told the people the LORD’s words; and he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them around the Tent.
是に於てモーセ出きたりてヱホバの言を民に告げ民の長老七十人を集めて幕屋の四圍に立しめけるに
25 The LORD came down in the cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the Spirit that was on him, and put it on the seventy elders. When the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied, but they did so no more.
ヱホバ雲の中にありて降りモーセと言ひモーセのうへにある霊をもてその長老七十人にも分ち與へたまひしがその霊かれらの上にやどりしかば彼等預言せり但し此後はかさねて爲ざりき
26 But two men remained in the camp. The name of one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad; and the Spirit rested on them. They were of those who were written, but had not gone out to the Tent; and they prophesied in the camp.
時に彼等の中なる二人の者營に止まり居るその一人の名はエルダデといひ一人の名はメダデと曰ふ霊またかれらの上にもやどれり彼らは其名を録されたる者なりしが幕屋に往ざりければ營の中にて預言をなせり
27 A young man ran, and told Moses, and said, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp!”
時に一人の少者奔りきたりモーセに告てエルダデとメダデ營の中にて預言すと言ければ
28 Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his chosen men, answered, “My lord Moses, forbid them!”
その少時よりしてモーセの從者たりしヌンの子ヨシユアこたへて曰けるは吾主モーセこれを禁めたまヘ
29 Moses said to him, “Are you jealous for my sake? I wish that all the LORD’s people were prophets, that the LORD would put his Spirit on them!”
モーセこれに言けるは汝わがために媢嫉を起すやヱホバの民の皆預言者とならんことまたヱホバのその霊を之に降したまはんことこそ願しけれ
30 Moses went into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
斯てモーセ、イスラエルの長老等とともに營に返れり
31 A wind from the LORD went out and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, about a day’s journey on this side, and a day’s journey on the other side, around the camp, and about two cubits above the surface of the earth.
茲にヱホバの許より風おこり出て海の方より鶉を吹きたりこれをして營の周圍に堕しめたりその堕ひろがれること營の四周此旁も大約一日路彼旁も大約一日路地の表より高きこと大約二キユビトなりき
32 The people rose up all that day, and all of that night, and all the next day, and gathered the quails. He who gathered least gathered ten homers; and they spread them all out for themselves around the camp.
民すなはち起あがりてその日終日その夜終夜またその次の日終日鶉を拾ひ斂めけるが拾ひ斂むることの至て寡き者も十ホメルほど拾ひ斂めたり皆これを營の周圍に陳べおけり
33 While the meat was still between their teeth, before it was chewed, the LORD’s anger burned against the people, and the LORD struck the people with a very great plague.
肉なほ歯のあひだにありていまだ食つくさざるにヱホバ民にむかひて怒を發しこれを撃ておほいに滅ぼしたまへり
34 The name of that place was called Kibroth Hattaavah, because there they buried the people who lusted.
是をもてその處の名をキブロテハッタワ(慾心の墓)とよべり其は慾心をおこせる人々を其處に埋たればなり
35 From Kibroth Hattaavah the people traveled to Hazeroth; and they stayed at Hazeroth.
斯て民キブロテハツタワよりハゼロテに進みゆきてハゼロテに居ぬ
