1 Na rĩrĩ, andũ a Isiraeli magĩteta nĩ ũndũ wa moritũ mao, nakuo gũteta kwao gũkĩiguuo nĩ Jehova, na rĩrĩa aamaiguire, agĩakanwo nĩ marakara, naguo mwaki ũkiuma kũrĩ Jehova, ũgĩakana gatagatĩ kao, na ũgĩcina ndeere imwe cia kambĩ.
And the people murmured sinfully before the Lord; and the Lord heard [them] and was very angry; and fire was kindled among them from the Lord, and devoured a part of the camp.
2 Rĩrĩa andũ acio maakaĩire Musa, Musa akĩhooya Jehova, naguo mwaki ũcio ũkĩhora.
And the people cried to Moses: and Moses prayed to the Lord, and the fire was quenched.
3 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio handũ hau hagĩĩtwo Tabera, tondũ mwaki ũcio woimĩte kũrĩ Jehova nĩwakanĩte gatagatĩ kao.
And the name of that place was called Burning; for a fire was kindled among them from the Lord.
4 Kĩrĩndĩ kĩrĩa kĩarũmanĩrĩire nao makiuma bũrũri wa Misiri gĩkĩambĩrĩria kwĩrirĩria irio cia mĩthemba ĩngĩ, na o rĩngĩ andũ a Isiraeli makĩambĩrĩria kũrĩra, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Naarĩ korwo tũrĩ na nyama cia kũrĩa!
And the mixed multitude among them lusted exceedingly; and they and the children of Israel sat down and wept and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
5 Nĩtũkũririkana thamaki iria twarĩĩaga kũu bũrũri wa Misiri tũtekũgũra, o na marenge ma mĩthemba mĩthemba, na itũngũrũ cia mahuti, na itũngũrũ iria ndungu, o na itũngũrũ thumu.
We remember the fish, which we ate in Egypt freely; and the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the garlic, and the onions.
6 No rĩu, tũtirĩ na wendo wa kũrĩa; na tũtirĩ kĩndũ o nakĩ tuonaga, tiga o mana maya moiki!”
But now our soul is dried up; our eyes [turn] to nothing but to the manna.
7 Mana macio maahaanaga ta mbegũ cia mũtĩ ũrĩa wĩtagwo korianda, na mũhianĩre wamo watariĩ ta bedola.
And the manna is as coriander seed, and the appearance of it the appearance of hoarfrost.
8 Andũ maathiiaga makamongania, magacooka makamathĩa na gĩthĩi kĩa moko, kana makamahũrĩra ndĩrĩ-inĩ na mũũthĩ. Maamarugaga na nyũngũ kana magathondeka tũmĩgate. Na maacamaga ta kĩndũ gĩthondeketwo na maguta ma mũtamaiyũ.
And the people went through the field, and gathered, and ground it in the mill, or pounded it in a mortar, and baked it in a pan, and made cakes of it; and the sweetness of it was as the taste [of] wafer made with oil.
9 Rĩrĩa kwagĩa ime ũtukũ kũu kambĩ-inĩ, mana macio makagũanĩra narĩo.
And when the dew came upon the camp by night, the manna came down upon it.
10 Musa nĩaiguire andũ a nyũmba ciothe makĩrĩra, o mũndũ arĩ mũromo-inĩ wa hema yake. Nake Jehova nĩarakarire mũno makĩria, na Musa agĩthĩĩnĩka.
And Moses heard them weeping by their families, every one in his door: and the Lord was very angry; and the thing was evil in the sight of Moses.
11 Akĩũria Jehova atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte ũrehere ndungata yaku thĩĩna ũyũ? Nĩ atĩa njĩkĩte ũkaaga gũgũkenia nĩguo ũnjigĩrĩre mũrigo wa andũ aya othe?
And Moses said to the Lord, Why have you afflicted your servant, and why have I not found grace in your sight, that you should lay the weight of this people upon me?
12 Kaĩ arĩ niĩ ithe wao? Kaĩ arĩ niĩ ndaamaciarire? Nĩ kĩĩ kĩratũma ũnjĩĩre ndĩmakuue na moko makwa, ta ũrĩa mũreri wa mwana akuuaga kaana ka rũkenge, ndĩmatware bũrũri ũrĩa werĩire maithe mao ma tene na mwĩhĩtwa?
Have I conceived all this people, or have I born them? that you say to me, Take them into your bosom, as a nurse would take her suckling, into the land which you sware to their fathers?
13 Ingĩruta nyama cia kũhe andũ aya othe kũ? Marandĩrĩra makiugaga atĩrĩ, ‘Tũhe nyama tũrĩe!’
Whence have I flesh to give to all this people? for they weep to me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.
14 Ndingĩhota gũkuua andũ aya othe ndĩ nyiki; mũrigo ũyũ nĩ mũritũ mũno kũrĩ niĩ.
I shall not be able to bear this people alone, for this thing is too heavy for me.
15 Angĩkorwo ũguo nĩguo ũkũnjĩka-rĩ, njũraga o ro rĩu, angĩkorwo nĩnjĩtĩkĩrĩkĩte nĩwe, na ndũkareke nyone mwanangĩko wakwa mwene.”
And if you do thus to me, kill me utterly, if I have found favor with you, that I may not see my affliction.
16 Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ: “Ndehere athuuri mĩrongo mũgwanja a Isiraeli arĩa wee ũũĩ atĩ nĩ atongoria na anene thĩinĩ wa andũ aya. Ũmarehe Hema-inĩ-ya-Gũtũnganwo, nĩguo marũgame hau hamwe nawe.
And the Lord said to Moses, Gather me seventy men from the elders of Israel, whom you yourself know that they are the elders of the people, and their scribes; and you shall bring them to the tabernacle of witness, and they shall stand there with you.
17 Niĩ na niĩ nĩngũikũrũka ngwarĩrie ho, njoe Roho ũrĩa ũrĩ naguo na ndĩmekĩre Roho ũcio. Nao nĩmarĩgũteithagia gũkuua mũrigo wa andũ aya nĩgeetha ndũkaũkuuage ũrĩ wiki.
And I will go down, and speak there with you; and I will take of the spirit that is upon you, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear together with you the burden of the people, and you shall not bear them alone.
18 “Ningĩ wĩre andũ atĩrĩ, ‘Mwĩtheriei, mwĩhaarĩrie nĩ ũndũ wa rũciũ, rĩrĩa mũkaarĩa nyama. Jehova nĩaramũiguire rĩrĩa mũrarĩraga, mũkiugaga atĩrĩ, “Naarĩ korwo tũrĩ na nyama cia kũrĩa! Maũndũ maitũ maarĩ mega rĩrĩa twarĩ bũrũri wa Misiri!” Rĩu-rĩ, Jehova nĩekũmũhe nyama, na nĩmũgũcirĩa.
And to the people you shall say, Purify yourselves for the morrow, and you shall eat flesh; for you wept before the Lord, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt: and the Lord shall allow you to eat flesh, and you shall eat flesh.
19 Na rĩrĩ, mũtigũcirĩa o mũthenya ũmwe, kana mĩthenya ĩĩrĩ, kana ĩtano, kana ikũmi, kana mĩthenya mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ,
You shall not eat one day, nor two, nor five days, nor ten days, nor twenty days;
20 no mũgũcirĩa mweri mũgima, o nginya ciume na maniũrũ manyu, na inyuĩ mũcinyire, nĩ ũndũ nĩmũregete Jehova ũrĩa ũrĩ hamwe na inyuĩ, na mũkarĩra mũrĩ mbere yake, mũkiugaga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩatũmire tuume bũrũri wa Misiri?”’”
you shall eat for a full month, until [the flesh] come out at your nostrils; and it shall be nausea to you, because you disobeyed the Lord, who is among you, and wept before him, saying, What had we to do to come out of Egypt?
21 No Musa akĩĩra Jehova atĩrĩ, “Andũ arĩa ndĩ nao haha nĩ ngiri magana matandatũ arĩa maretwara na magũrũ, nawe woiga atĩ, ‘Nĩngũmahe nyama cia kũrĩa mweri mũgima!’
And Moses said, The people among whom I am are six hundred thousand footmen; and you said, I will give them flesh to eat, and they shall eat a whole month.
22 Andũ aya o na mangĩthĩnjĩrwo ndũũru cia mbũri na cia ngʼombe-rĩ, no imaigane? O na mangĩtegerwo thamaki ciothe cia iria-inĩ-rĩ, no imaigane?”
Shall sheep and oxen be slain for them, and shall it suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, and shall it suffice them?
23 Jehova agĩcookeria Musa atĩrĩ, “Anga hinya wa guoko kwa Jehova nĩũnyiihĩte? Rĩu wee, nĩũkuona kana ũrĩa njugĩte nĩũkahingio kana ndũkahingio.”
And the Lord said to Moses, Shall not the hand of the Lord be fully sufficient? now shall you know whether my word shall come to pass to you or not.
24 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa akiuma nja, akĩĩra andũ acio ũrĩa Jehova oigĩte. Nake agĩcookanĩrĩria athuuri amwe ao mĩrongo mũgwanja, akĩmarũgamia marigiicĩirie Hema ĩyo.
And Moses went out, and spoke the words of the Lord to the people; and he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people, and he set them round about the tabernacle.
25 Nake Jehova agĩikũrũka na itu akĩaria na Musa, akĩoya Roho ũrĩa warĩ thĩinĩ wa Musa, na agĩĩkĩra Roho ũcio thĩinĩ wa athuuri acio mĩrongo mũgwanja. Rĩrĩa Roho okire igũrũ rĩao-rĩ, makĩratha mohoro, no matiacookire gwĩka ũguo hĩndĩ ĩngĩ.
And the Lord came down in a cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and put it upon the seventy men that were elders; and when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied and ceased.
26 No rĩrĩ, andũ eerĩ, nĩo Elidadi na Medadi, nĩmatigĩtwo kambĩ. Nao nĩmandĩkĩtwo hamwe na athuuri acio angĩ no matiathiĩte Hema-inĩ ĩyo. No rĩrĩ, Roho nĩ okire igũrũ rĩao, nao makĩratha mohoro marĩ kũu kambĩ.
And there were two men left in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Modad; and the spirit rested upon them, and these were of the number of them that were enrolled, but they did not come to the tabernacle; and they prophesied in the camp.
27 Mwanake ũmwe agĩtengʼera akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Elidadi na Medadi nĩmararatha mohoro kũu kambĩ.”
And a young man ran and told Moses, and spoke, saying, Eldad and Modad prophesy in the camp.
28 Joshua mũrũ wa Nuni, ũrĩa wateithagia Musa kuuma arĩ mũnini, akĩarĩria Musa, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Musa, mwathi wakwa, makaanie!”
And Joshua the son of Naue, who attended on Moses, the chosen one, said, [My] lord Moses, forbid them.
29 No Musa akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ ũkũigua ũiru nĩ ũndũ wakwa? Niĩ ingĩenda andũ othe a Jehova makorwo marĩ anabii, na atĩ Jehova amekĩre Roho wake!”
And Moses said to him, Are you jealous on my account? and would that all the Lord's people were prophets; whenever the Lord shall put his spirit upon them.
30 Thuutha ũcio Musa na athuuri acio a Isiraeli magĩcooka kambĩ.
And Moses departed into the camp, himself and the elders of Israel.
31 Na rĩrĩ, rũhuho rũkiuma harĩ Jehova, rũkĩrehe tũmakia-arũme kuuma iria-inĩ. Rũgĩtũgũithia tũthiũrũrũkĩirie mĩena yothe ya kambĩ buti ithatũ kuuma thĩ, handũ ha itĩĩna rĩa rũgendo rwa mũthenya mũgima mbarĩ ciothe.
And there went forth a wind from the Lord, and brought quails over from the sea; and it brought them down upon the camp a day's journey on this side, and a day's journey on that side, round about the camp, as it were two cubits from the earth.
32 Mũthenya ũcio wothe na ũtukũ, na mũthenya ũcio ũngĩ wothe, andũ acio makiumagara makĩũngania tũmakia-arũme. Gũtirĩ mũndũ wonganirie thuutha wa homeri ikũmi. Ningĩ magĩtwanĩka gũthiũrũrũkĩria kambĩ yothe.
And the people rose up all the day, and all the night, and all the next day, and gathered quails; he that gathered least, gathered ten measures; and they refreshed themselves round about the camp.
33 No rĩrĩ, rĩrĩa nyama icio ciarĩ tũnua-inĩ twao, o na itarĩ ndanuke-rĩ, marakara ma Jehova magĩakanĩra andũ acio, akĩmahũũra na mũthiro mũnene.
The flesh was yet between their teeth, before it failed, when the Lord was angry with the people, and the Lord struck the people with a very great plague.
34 Tondũ ũcio handũ hau hagĩĩtwo Kibirothu-Hataava, nĩ ũndũ hau nĩho maathikire andũ arĩa maaiguĩte thuti ya irio ingĩ.
And the name of that place was called the Graves of Lust; for there they buried the people that lusted.
35 Kuuma Kibirothu-Hataava, andũ acio nĩmathiire rũgendo, magĩkinya Hazerothu, magĩikara kuo.
The people departed from the Graves of Lust to Aseroth; and the people halted at Aseroth.
