< Resansman 11 >
1 Alò, pèp la te devni kòm sila ki plenyen zafè pwoblèm nan zòrèy a SENYÈ a. Lè SENYÈ a te tande sa, kòlè li te vin limen, dife SENYÈ a te brile pami yo. Li te detwi kèk nan yo nan zòn deyò kan an.
Meanwhile, there arose a murmur among the people against the Lord, as if they were grief-stricken because of their labors. And when the Lord had heard it, he was angry. And when the fire of the Lord was enflamed against them, it devoured those who were at the extreme end of the camp.
2 Pou sa, pèp la te kriye fò bay Moïse. Moïse te priye bay SENYÈ a, e dife a te ralanti.
And when the people had cried out to Moses, Moses prayed to the Lord, and the fire was consumed.
3 Konsa, non a kote sa a te rele Tabeéra akoz dife SENYÈ a ki te brile pami yo.
And he called the name of that place, ‘The Burning,’ because the fire of the Lord had burned against them.
4 Sanzave nan mele yo ki te pami yo te gen lide voras. Menm fis Israël yo tou te kriye dlo nan zye ankò. Yo te di: “Kilès k ap bannou vyann pou nou manje?
So then, the mix of common people, who had ascended with them, were enflamed with desire, and sitting and weeping, with the sons of Israel joining them, they said, “Who will give us flesh to eat?
5 Nou sonje pwason ke nou te konn manje gratis nan peyi Égypte, avèk konkonb ak melon, zonyon, ak lay;
We remember the fish that we ate freely in Egypt; we call to mind the cucumbers, and melons, and leeks, and onions, and garlic.
6 men koulye a, nanm nou vin sèch. Nanpwen anyen pou nou ta gade sof ke lamàn sa a.”
Our life is dry; our eyes look out to see nothing but manna.”
7 Alò, lamàn nan te tankou grenn pitimi avèk aparans gonm arabik.
Now the manna was like coriander seed, but with the color of bdellium.
8 Pèp la t ap fè ale retou pou ranmase li. Yo te moulen li antre de wòch moulen, oswa bat li nan yon pilon, bouyi li nan yon chodyè, epi fè gato avèk li. Li gen gou tankou gou a gato ki fèt ak lwil.
And the people wandered about, gathering it, and they crushed it with a millstone, or ground it with a mortar; then they boiled it in a pot, and made biscuits out of it, with a taste like bread made with oil.
9 Lè lawouze te vin tonbe nan kan an pandan nwit lan, lamàn te tonbe avè l.
And when the dew descended in the night over the camp, the manna descended together with it.
10 Alò, Moïse te tande pèp la ki t ap kriye pami tout fanmi yo, chak mesye nan pòtay a tant li. Konsa, chalè a SENYÈ a te vin limen anpil, e Moïse te malkontan.
And so, Moses heard the people weeping by their families, each one at the door of his tent. And the fury of the Lord was greatly enflamed. And to Moses also the matter seemed intolerable.
11 Pou sa, Moïse te di SENYÈ a: “Poukisa Ou te tèlman di avèk sèvitè Ou a? Epi poukisa mwen pa t jwenn favè nan zye ou, ke Ou te vin mete chaj tout pèp sa a sou Mwen?
And so he said to the Lord: “Why have you afflicted your servant? Why do I not find favor before you? And why have you imposed the weight of this entire people upon me?
12 Èske se mwen menm ki te vin peple fè tout pèp sa a? Èske se mwen menm ki te fè yo vin parèt pou Ou ta di mwen: ‘Pote yo nan sen ou tankou yon fanm nouris pote yon ti bebe k ap tete, pou rive nan yon peyi ke Ou te sèmante a papa yo?’
Could I have conceived this entire multitude, or have given birth to them, so that you might say to me: Carry them in your bosom, as a nursemaid usually carries a little infant, and bring them into the land, about which you have sworn to their fathers?
13 Kote mwen ap jwenn vyann pou bay tout pèp sa a? Paske yo kriye devan m! Yo te di: ‘Bannou vyann pou nou kapab manje!’
From where would I obtain the flesh to give to so great a multitude? They weep against me, saying, ‘Give us flesh, so that we may eat.’
14 Mwen sèl mwen p ap kab pote tout pèp sa a; se twòp chaj pou mwen.
I alone am unable to sustain this entire people, because it is too heavy for me.
15 Konsa, si W ap aji konsa avè m, souple touye mwen koulye a; konsa, si Mwen pa t twouve favè nan zye Ou, pa kite mwen vin wè mizè mwen.”
But if it seems to you otherwise, I beg you to put me to death, and so may I find grace in your eyes, lest I be afflicted with such evils.”
16 Konsa, SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Rasanble pou Mwen swasann-dis nonm ki soti nan ansyen Israël yo, pami sila a ou konnen kòm ansyen a pèp la, ak ofisyèl yo. Mennen yo nan tant asanble a e kite yo vin fè kanpe pa yo ansanm avè w la a.
And the Lord said to Moses: “Gather to me seventy men from the elders of Israel, whom you know to be elders, as well as teachers, of the people. And you shall lead them to the door of the tabernacle of the covenant, and you shall cause them to stand there with you,
17 Alò, Mwen va vin desann pou pale avèk ou la a. Konsa, Mwen va pran nan lespri ki sou ou a, pou mete li sou yo; epi yo va pote fado a avèk ou, pou ou pa oblije pote li ou sèl ou.
so that I may descend and speak to you. And I will take from your spirit, and I will deliver it to them, so that, with you, they may sustain the burden of the people, and so that you will not be weighed down alone.
18 “Di a pèp la: ‘Konsakre nou pou demen e nou va manje vyann; paske nou te kriye nan zòrèy SENYÈ a, e te di: “O ke yon moun bannou vyann pou nou manje! Paske nou te byen okipe an Égypte.” Konsa, SENYÈ a va bannou vyann, e nou va manje.
You shall also say to the people: Be sanctified. Tomorrow you will eat flesh. For I have heard you say: ‘Who will give us flesh to eat? It was well with us in Egypt.’ So then, may the Lord give you flesh. And you will eat,
19 Nou va manje, pa pou yon jou, ni de jou, ni senk jou, ni di jou, ni ven jou,
not for one day, nor for two, nor for five, nor for ten, nor even for twenty,
20 men yon mwa nèt, jis li vin sòti nan nen nou, e vin abominab pou nou; akoz nou te rejte SENYÈ a ki pami nou, e nou te kriye devan Li pou te di: “Poukisa nou te janmen kite Égypte?”’”
but for up to a month of days, until it exits from your nostrils, and until it turns into nausea for you, because you have slipped away from the Lord, who is in your midst, and because you have wept before him, saying: ‘Why did we go forth out of Egypt?’”
21 Men Moïse te di: “Pèp pami sila Mwen ye a se sis-san-mil sou pye; sepandan, Ou te di, ‘Mwen va bay yo vyann, pou yo kab manje jis yon mwa nèt.’
And Moses said: “There are six hundred thousand footmen of this people, and yet you say, ‘I will give them flesh to eat for a whole month.’
22 “Si bann mouton avèk twoupo yo ta touye pou yo èske sa ta sifi pou yo?”
Could a multitude of sheep and oxen be slain, so that there would be enough food? Or will the fishes of the sea be gathered together, in order to satisfy them?”
23 SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Èske pouvwa SENYÈ a limite? Koulye a, ou va wè si pawòl Mwen va vin vrè pou ou oswa non.”
And the Lord answered him: “Can the hand of the Lord be ineffective? Soon now, you shall see whether my word will be fulfilled in this work.”
24 Konsa, Moïse te sòti deyò. Li te di pèp la pawòl SENYÈ a. Osi, li te rasanble swasann-dis gason nan ansyen pami pèp la, e li te estasyone yo antoure tant la.
And so, Moses went and explained the words of the Lord to the people. Gathering together seventy men from the elders of Israel, he caused them to stand around the tabernacle.
25 Alò, SENYÈ a te vin desann nan nwaj la, e Li te pale avèk li. Li te pran nan Lespri ki te sou li a, e li te plase Li sou swasann-dis ansyen yo. Epi lè Lespri a te poze sou yo, yo te pwofetize. Men yo pa t fè sa ankò.
And the Lord descended in a cloud, and he spoke to him, taking from the Spirit which was in Moses, and giving to the seventy men. And when the Spirit had rested in them, they prophesied; nor did they cease afterwards.
26 Men de mesye nan ansyen yo te rete nan kan an; Non a youn te Eldad, e non a lòt la te Médad. Epi Lespri a te vin rete sou yo. Yo menm te pami sila ki te anrejistre kòm ansyen yo, men ki pa t sòti pou ale nan tant lan; men yo te pwofetize nan kan an.
Now there had remained in the camp two of the men, of whom one was called Eldad, and the other Medad, upon whom the Spirit rested; for they also had been enrolled, but they did not go forth to the tabernacle.
27 Konsa, yon jennonm te kouri di Moïse: “Eldad avèk Médad ap pwofetize nan kan an.”
And when they were prophesying in the camp, a boy ran and reported to Moses, saying: “Eldad and Medad prophesy in the camp.”
28 Epi Josué, fis a Nun nan, ki te sèvitè Moïse depi nan jenès li, te di: “Moïse, senyè mwen an, anpeche yo.”
Promptly, Joshua the son of Nun, the minister of Moses and chosen from many, said: “My lord Moses, prohibit them.”
29 Men Moïse te di li: “Èske ou jalou pou tèt mwen? Pito ke tout pèp SENYÈ a te pwofèt, pou SENYÈ a ta mete Lespri Li sou yo!”
But he said, “Why are you jealous on my behalf? Who decides that any of the people may prophesy and that God may give to them his Spirit?”
30 Epi Moïse te retounen nan kan an, ni li, ni ansyen Israël yo.
And Moses returned, with those greater by birth of Israel, into the camp.
31 Alò, te vin souleve yon van sòti nan SENYÈ a. Li te mennen zwazo kay sòti nan lanmè, e Li te kite yo tonbe akote kan an, anviwon distans de yon vwayaj yon jounen sou yon bò, e vwayaj a yon jounen de lòt bò a, toutotou kan an, epi plis oswa mwens de koude (twa pye) pwofondè sou sifas tè a.
Then a wind, going out from the Lord and moving forcefully across the sea, brought quails and cast them into the camp, across a distance of one day’s journey, in every part of the camp all around, and they flew in the air two cubits high above the ground.
32 Pèp la te pase tout jounen, tout nwit lan, ak tout jou aprè a nan ranmase zòtolan. Sila ki te ranmase mwens lan, te ranmase dis omè (ven lit), e yo te poze yo gaye pou yo toupatou nan kan an.
Therefore, the people, rising up, gathered quails all that day and night, and the next day; he who did least well gathered ten homers. And they dried them throughout the camp.
33 Pandan vyann nan te toujou nan dan yo, avan yo te menm moulen li, kòlè SENYÈ a te vin limen kont pèp la, e SENYÈ a te frape pèp la avèk yon epidemi byen sevè.
The flesh was still between their teeth, neither had this kind of food ceased, and behold, the fury of the Lord was provoked against the people, and he struck them with an exceedingly great scourge.
34 Konsa, non a kote sa a te rele Kibroth Hattaava, akoz ke se ladann, yo te antere pèp ki te voras yo.
And that place was called, ‘The Graves of Lust.’ For there, they buried the people who had desired.
35 Soti nan Kibroth Hattaava, pèp la te ale Hazeroth, e yo te vin rete Hazeroth.
Then, departing from the Graves of Lust, they arrived in Hazeroth, and they stayed there.
