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.
One day the people complained to Yahweh about their troubles. When Yahweh heard what they were saying, he became angry. So he sent a fire which burned among the people at the edge of their camp.
2 Pou sa, pèp la te kriye fò bay Moïse. Moïse te priye bay SENYÈ a, e dife a te ralanti.
Then the people cried out to Moses/me, and he/I prayed to Yahweh. Then the fire stopped burning.
3 Konsa, non a kote sa a te rele Tabeéra akoz dife SENYÈ a ki te brile pami yo.
So they called that place Taberah, [which means ‘burning’], because the fire from Yahweh had burned among 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?
Then some troublemakers from other people-groups [who were traveling] with the Israelis began to want better food. And [when they started complaining] the Israeli people also started to complain.
5 Nou sonje pwason ke nou te konn manje gratis nan peyi Égypte, avèk konkonb ak melon, zonyon, ak lay;
They said, “We wish we had some meat!
6 men koulye a, nanm nou vin sèch. Nanpwen anyen pou nou ta gade sof ke lamàn sa a.”
We remember the fish that we ate while we were in Egypt, fish that was given to us without (cost/asking us to pay for it). And we had all the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions, and garlic [that we wanted]. But now we do not have any desire to eat, because all we have to eat is this manna!”
7 Alò, lamàn nan te tankou grenn pitimi avèk aparans gonm arabik.
The manna resembled small white seeds.
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.
[Each morning] the people would go out and gather some [from the surface of the ground]. Then they made flour by grinding it or pounding it with stones. Then they [added water and] boiled it in a pot, or they made flat cakes with it [and baked them]. The cakes tasted like bread that was baked with [olive] oil.
9 Lè lawouze te vin tonbe nan kan an pandan nwit lan, lamàn te tonbe avè l.
Each night the manna came down on their ground where their tents were, like dew [from the sky].
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.
Moses/I heard all the Israeli people complaining as they were standing in the entrances of their tents. Yahweh became very angry, and Moses/I was also very perturbed.
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?
He/I [went into the Sacred Tent and] asked Yahweh, “Why have you caused me, your servant, to experience this trouble [RHQ]? Act mercifully to me! What wrong have I done, with the result that you have appointed me to take care of all of these people [RHQ]?
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?’
(I am not their father./Am I their father?) [RHQ] Why have you told me to take care of them like a woman carries around her baby and (nurses it/gives it her milk) [MET, RHQ]? How can I take them to the land that you promised to give to our ancestors [RHQ]?
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!’
Where can I get meat to feed all these people? They keep complaining to me, saying, ‘Give us some meat to eat!’
14 Mwen sèl mwen p ap kab pote tout pèp sa a; se twòp chaj pou mwen.
I cannot carry all these people’s burdens by myself! [They are like a heavy load [MET], and] I cannot carry this very heavy load any more.
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.”
If you intend to act like this toward me, kill me now. If you are really concerned about me, be kind to me and [kill me to] end my misery [of trying to take care of them]!”
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.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Summon 70 men whom you know are leaders among the Israeli people. Tell them to stand with you in front of the Sacred Tent.
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.
I will come down and talk with you there. Then I will take some of [the power of] my Spirit that you have, and I will put [that power] on them also. They will help you to take care of some of the things that the people are concerned about, in order that you will not need to do it 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.
“Furthermore, say to the people, ‘Make yourselves acceptable to me, and tomorrow you will have meat to eat. You were complaining, and Yahweh heard you when you were saying, “We want some meat to eat. We had better food in Egypt!” Now Yahweh will give you some meat, and you will eat it.
19 Nou va manje, pa pou yon jou, ni de jou, ni senk jou, ni di jou, ni ven jou,
You will eat meat not only for one or two days, nor only for five or ten or 20 days.
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?”’”
[You will eat meat every day] for one month, and then you will loathe/despise it, and it will cause you to want to vomit. [This will happen] because you have rejected Yahweh who is here among you, and you have wailed in his presence, saying [“We would have had better food to eat] if we had not left Egypt [RHQ].”’”
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.’
But Moses/I replied to Yahweh, “There are 600,000 men [plus women and children] here with me, so ([why] do you say ‘I will give them plenty of meat every day for a month!’?/it does not seem right for you to say ‘I will give them plenty of meat every day for a month!’) [RHQ]
22 “Si bann mouton avèk twoupo yo ta touye pou yo èske sa ta sifi pou yo?”
Even if we killed all the sheep and cattle, that would not [RHQ] be enough [to provide meat for all of them] Even if we caught all the fish in the sea [and gave it to them], that would not be enough [RHQ]!”
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.”
But Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Do you think that I [SYN] have no power? You will now see if I can do what I say I will do.”
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.
So Moses/I went out [from the Sacred Tent] and told the people what Yahweh had said. Then he/I gathered together the 70 leaders and told them to stand around the Sacred Tent.
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.
Then Yahweh came down in the cloud [that was above the tent] and spoke to Moses/me. He took some of [the power of] the Spirit that he had given to Moses/me and gave it to the 70 leaders. By means of the power of the Spirit within them, they (prophesied/spoke messages that Yahweh gave them), but they did that only once.
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.
Two of the leaders whom Moses/I appointed, Eldad and Medad, were not there when the rest of them gathered together. They had not left [their tents] to go and stand around the Sacred Tent. But Yahweh’s Spirit came on them also, and they started to (prophesy/speak messages from Yahweh).
27 Konsa, yon jennonm te kouri di Moïse: “Eldad avèk Médad ap pwofetize nan kan an.”
So a young man ran and told Moses/me, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in all their tents!”
28 Epi Josué, fis a Nun nan, ki te sèvitè Moïse depi nan jenès li, te di: “Moïse, senyè mwen an, anpeche yo.”
Joshua, who had helped Moses/me since he was a young man, said, “Sir, tell them to stop doing that!”
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 Moses/I replied, “(Are you worried that they might injure my reputation/Do you think that I want to be the only one who prophesies) [RHQ]? I wish that all Yahweh’s people could (prophesy/speak messages from Yahweh). I wish that Yahweh would give the power of his Spirit to all of them!”
30 Epi Moïse te retounen nan kan an, ni li, ni ansyen Israël yo.
Then Moses/I and all the leaders went back to their/our tents.
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 Yahweh sent a strong wind from the sea. It blew quail into the area all around the camp for miles in every direction, [and caused the quail to fall onto the ground]. They were piled up on the ground about (3 feet/1 meter) high!
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.
So the people went out and gathered up the quail all that day, and all that night, and all of the following day. [It seemed as though] everyone gathered at least 50 bushels! They spread the quail out on the ground all around the camp, [so that the quail would dry out].
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.
[Then they cooked them and started to eat them]. But while they were still eating the meat [MTY], Yahweh [showed that he] was very angry with them. He struck them with a severe plague/sickness, [and many people died].
34 Konsa, non a kote sa a te rele Kibroth Hattaava, akoz ke se ladann, yo te antere pèp ki te voras yo.
The people who died and were buried were the ones who had said they wanted to eat meat [like they had formerly eaten in Egypt]. So they called that place Kibroth-Hattaavah, [which means ‘graves of those who craved’].
35 Soti nan Kibroth Hattaava, pèp la te ale Hazeroth, e yo te vin rete Hazeroth.
From there, the Israelis continued walking [east] until they arrived at Hazeroth [town], where they stopped and stayed [for a long time].
