Ƙidaya 11
1 Da Ubangiji ya ji gunagunin da mutanen suke yi saboda wahalarsu, sai ya husata ƙwarai. Sai wuta daga Ubangiji ta yi ta ci a cikinsu har ta ƙone waɗansu wurare na sansanin.
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 Da jama’ar suka yi wa Musa kuka, sai ya yi addu’a ga Ubangiji, wutar kuwa ta mutu.
Then the people cried out to Moses/me, and he/I prayed to Yahweh. Then the fire stopped burning.
3 Saboda haka aka kira wannan wuri Tabera, gama a wurin ne wuta daga Ubangiji ta ƙuna a cikinsu.
So they called that place Taberah, [which means ‘burning’], because the fire from Yahweh had burned among them.
4 Wata rana, baƙin da suke cikinsu, suka fara kwaɗayin waɗansu abinci, har suka sa Isra’ilawa suka fara kuka, suna cewa, “Da mun sami nama mun ci mana!
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 Mun tuna da kifin da muka ci kyauta a Masar, haka ma kayan lambu irin su kukumba, guna, safa, albasa da kuma tafarnuwa.
They said, “We wish we had some meat!
6 Amma ga shi yanzu ba mu da wani abin marmari; in ba wannan Manna ba!”
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 Manna kuwa kamar tsabar riɗi take, kamanninta kuma kamar ƙaro ne.
The manna resembled small white seeds.
8 Mutane sukan fita su tattara ta, su niƙa a dutsen niƙa, ko kuwa su daka a turmi. Su dafa, ko su yi waina da ita. Ɗanɗanonta yakan yi kamar abin da aka yi da man zaitun.
[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 Sa’ad da raɓa tana saukowa da dad dare a kan sansani, Manna ma takan sauko.
Each night the manna came down on their ground where their tents were, like dew [from the sky].
10 Musa ya ji mutanen suna ta gunaguni ko’ina a cikin iyalansu, kowane mutum a ƙofar tentinsa. Ubangiji kuwa ya husata ƙwarai, sai Musa ya damu.
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 Sai ya ce wa Ubangiji, “Me ya sa ka kawo wannan damuwar a kan bawanka? Me na yi da ya ɓata maka rai har ka ɗora dukan nauyin mutanen nan a kaina?
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 Ni ne na yi cikin dukan mutanen nan? Ni ne na haife su? To, me ya sa ka ce in ɗauke su a ƙirjina kamar yadda mai reno yake rungume jariri, zuwa ƙasa wadda ka yi alkawari da rantsuwa za ka ba wa kakanninsu?
(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 Ina ne zan sami nama in waɗannan mutane? Sun dinga yin mini kuka suna cewa ‘Ka ba mu nama mu ci!’
Where can I get meat to feed all these people? They keep complaining to me, saying, ‘Give us some meat to eat!’
14 Ba zan iya ɗaukan dukan mutanen nan ni kaɗai ba, nauyin ya yi mini yawa.
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 In haka za ka yi da ni, ka kashe ni yanzu, in na sami tagomashi daga gare ka, kada ka bar ni in rayu in ga wannan baƙin ciki.”
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 Sai Ubangiji ya ce wa Musa, “Ka tattaro mini dattawa saba’in daga cikin mutanen Isra’ila, waɗanda aka sani su ne dattawa da kuma shugabanni a cikin jama’a. Ka sa su zo Tentin Sujada, su tsaya a can tare da kai.
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 Zan sauko in yi magana da kai a can, zan kuma ɗauki Ruhun da yake kanka in mai da shi wajensu. Za su taimake ka ɗaukan nauyin mutane, don yă zama ba kai kaɗai ba ne mai ɗaukan kaya.
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 “Ka gaya wa mutane, ‘Ku tsarkake kanku don gobe, za ku ci nama. Ubangiji ya ji ku sa’ad da kuka yi kuka cewa, “Da mun sami nama mun ci mana! Ai, da ba mu da damuwa, gama lokacin da muke zama cikin Masar ba mu da damuwa!” Yanzu Ubangiji zai ba ku nama, za ku kuma ci.
“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 Ba za ku ci shi na kwana ɗaya, ko biyu, ko biyar, ko goma, ko kuma kwana ashirin kaɗai ba,
You will eat meat not only for one or two days, nor only for five or ten or 20 days.
20 amma za ku ci har na wata guda cur, sai ya gundure ku a hanci har ku yi ƙyamarsa, domin kun ƙi Ubangiji wanda yake cikinku, kuka yi kuka a gabansa, kuna cewa, “Don me ma muka bar ƙasar Masar?”’”
[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 Amma Musa ya ce, “Ga ni a cikin mutane dubu ɗari shida tafe tare da ni, kana kuma cewa, ‘Zan ba su nama su ci har wata guda cur!’
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 Za su ma sami isashe in har aka yanka musu garkuna tumaki da na shanu? Za su sami isashe in aka kama musu dukan kifin teku?”
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 Ubangiji ya ce wa Musa, “Akwai abin da ya fi ƙarfina ne? Bari ka gani ko abin da na ce zan yi, zai faru ko babu.”
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 Saboda haka Musa ya fita ya gaya wa jama’a abin da Ubangiji ya faɗa. Ya tattaro dattawansu saba’in, ya sa suka tsaya kewaye da Tentin Sujada.
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 Sa’an nan Ubangiji ya sauko daga girgije, ya yi magana da shi, ya kuma ɗauke Ruhun da yake kan Musa ya ɗora shi a kan dattawa saba’in nan. Sa’ad da Ruhun ya zauna a kansu, sai suka yi annabci, amma daga wannan ba su ƙara yin haka kuma ba.
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 To, fa, akwai dattawa biyu da suka kasance a sansani, wato, Eldad da Medad. Su ma an lasafta su cikin dattawan, amma ba su fita zuwa Tentin Sujada ba. Duk da haka Ruhun ya sauka a kansu, suka kuma yi annabci a cikin sansanin.
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 Wani saurayi ya sheƙa a guje zuwa wajen Musa ya ce, “Eldad da Medad suna can suna annabci a sansani.”
So a young man ran and told Moses/me, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in all their tents!”
28 Sai Yoshuwa ɗan Nun, wanda yake mataimakin Musa tun yana saurayi, ya amsa ya ce, “Ranka yă daɗe, Musa, ka hana su!”
Joshua, who had helped Moses/me since he was a young man, said, “Sir, tell them to stop doing that!”
29 Amma Musa ya amsa ya ce, “Kana kishi domina ne? Da ma a ce dukan mutanen Ubangiji annabawa ne, da ma a kuma ce Ubangiji ya sa Ruhunsa a kansu mana!”
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 Sai Musa da dattawan Isra’ila suka koma sansani.
Then Moses/I and all the leaders went back to their/our tents.
31 Ana nan, sai Ubangiji ya kawo wata iska mai tsanani ta koro makware daga teku. Ta bar su birjik kewaye da sansani, tsayinsu daga ƙasa ya kai kamu biyu, misalin tafiyar nisan yini guda ta kowace fuska.
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 Dukan yini da dukan dare da kuma kashegari, mutane suka fito suka tattara makware. Ba wanda ya kāsa tara ƙasa da garwa goma. Sai suka shanya abinsu kewaye da sansanin.
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 Amma da suna cikin cin naman, tun ba su ma haɗiye ba, sai Ubangiji ya husata sosai a kan jama’ar, ya buge su da annoba mai zafi.
[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 Saboda haka aka kira wannan wuri Kibrot Hatta’awa, gama a can ne aka binne mutanen nan makwaɗaita.
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 Daga Kibrot Hatta’awa, mutane suka yi tafiya zuwa Hazerot, a can suka sauka.
From there, the Israelis continued walking [east] until they arrived at Hazeroth [town], where they stopped and stayed [for a long time].
