Na Helu 11
1 I KA ohumu ana a na kanaka, ua hewa ia i na pepeiao o Iehova; lohe ae la o Iehova, a hoaia kona inaina; a aku la ke ahi o Iehova iwaena o lakou, a ai aku la ma ka palena o kahi hoomoana.
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 Kahea aku la na kanaka ia Mose, a pule aku la o Mose ia Iehova, alaila pio iho la ke ahi.
Then the people cried out to Moses/me, and he/I prayed to Yahweh. Then the fire stopped burning.
3 Kapa aku la ia i ka inoa o ia wahi, o Tabera; no ka mea, ua ai mai ke ahi o Iehova iwaena o lakou.
So they called that place Taberah, [which means ‘burning’], because the fire from Yahweh had burned among them.
4 A o ka poe e i hui pu ia mai me lakou, kuko nui aku lakou: a uwe hou iho la na mamo a Iseraela, i ae la, Nawai la e haawi mai i ka io na kakou e ai ai?
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 Ke hoomanao nei makou i ka ia a makou i ai wale iho ai ma Aigupita; i na kaukama me na ipuaimaka, i na leka me na akaakai, a me na galika.
They said, “We wish we had some meat!
6 Ano hoi, ua maloo loa ko kakou naau; aohe mea e ae, o ka mane wale no imua o ko kakou maka.
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 Ua like ka mane me ka hua koriana, a o kona helehelena ua like ia me ka deliuma.
The manna resembled small white seeds.
8 A hele ae la na kanaka, a hoiliili iho la, a wawahi iho la maloko o na mea wili; a i ole ia, kui iho la lakou iloko o na ipukui, kahu iho la a moa ma na pa, a hana iho la ia i popo. A o ka hoao ana o ia mea, ua like me ka hoao ana i ka aila hou.
[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 Aia haule iho ka hau maluna o kahi hoomoana i ka po, haule pu no hoi ka mane me ia.
Each night the manna came down on their ground where their tents were, like dew [from the sky].
10 Alaila lohe ae la o Mose i na kanaka e uwe ana me ka lakou mau ohana, o kela kanaka keia kanaka ma ka puka o kona halelewa: hoa nui ia ka inaina o Iehova; a ukiuki iho la hoi o Mose.
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 I aku la o Mose ia Iehova, No ke aha la oe i hoopilikia mai ai i kau kauwa? no ke aha hoi i loaa ole mai ai ia'u ka lokomaikaiia mai imua o kou maka, i kau mai ai oe maluna o'u i ke kaumaha o keia poe kanaka a pau?
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 Na'u no anei i hoohapai i keia poe kanaka a pau? Ua hoohanau no anei au ia lakou, i olelo mai ai oe ia'u, E hiipoi oe ia lakou ma kou umauma, e like me ka hali aua a ka makua hanai i ke keiki omo waiu, a hiki aku i ka aina au i hoohiki ai i na kupuna o lakou?
(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 Nohea la e loaa mai ai ia'u ka io e haawi aku ai na keia poe kanaka a pau? No ka mea, ke uwe mai uei lakou ia'u, me ka olelo mai, E haawi mai oe na makou i io, e ai iho ai makou.
Where can I get meat to feed all these people? They keep complaining to me, saying, ‘Give us some meat to eat!’
14 Aole e hiki ia'u, owau wale no ke halihali i keia poe kanaka a pau; no ka mea, he mea kaumaha loa ia no'u.
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 A i hana mai oe pela ia'u, ea, ke nonoi aku nei au ia oe, e pepehi mai oe ia'u a make, ina paha i loaa ia'u ka lokomaikaiia mai imua o kou mau maka, a ike ole au i kuu popilikia ana.
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 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, E houluulu mai oe io'u nei i na kanaka he kanahiku o ka poe kahiko o ka Iseraela, i na mea au e ike ai he poe kahiko o na kanaka, a he poe luna hoi no lakou; a e kai mai oe ia lakou ma ka halelewa o ke anaina i ku ai lakou me oe ilaila.
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 A e iho no au ilalo, e kamailio pu me oe ilaila; a e lawe au i ko ka Uhane maluna ou, a e kau aku maluna o lakou; a e amo pu lakou me oe i ke kaumaha o na kanaka, i halihali ole ai oe, o oe wale no, ia mea.
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 E olelo aku hoi oe i na kanaka, E huikala oukou ia oukou iho no ka la apopo, a e ai auanei oukou i ka io; no ka mea, ua uwe aku oukou maloko o na pepeiao o Iehova, ua i aku, Nawai la e haawi mai i ka io na kakou e ai ai? Ua pono kakou ma Aigupita: no ia mea, e haawi mai no o Iehova i io na oukou, a e ai iho hoi oukou.
“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 E ai no oukou, aole i ka la hookahi, aole i na la elua, aole hoi i na la elima, aole no hoi i na la he umi, aole no hoi i na la he iwakalua:
You will eat meat not only for one or two days, nor only for five or ten or 20 days.
20 Aka, he malama okoa, a puka mai ia iwaho ma ko oukou mau puka ihu, a hoopailua oukou ia: no ka mea, ua hoowahawaha oukou ia Iehova e noho ana iwaena o oukou, a ua uwe oukou imua ona, me ka i ana ae, No ke aha la kakou i hele mai ai mai Aigupita mai?
[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 I aku la o Mose, O ka poe kanaka a'u e noho nei iwaena, he eono haneri tausani lakou, ka poe hele wawae, a ke olelo mai nei oe, E haawi no au i io na lakou e ai ai a pau ka malama okoa.
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 E kaluaia anei na pua hipa a me na pua bipi na lakou, i mea e maona ai lakou? E hoiliiliia paha anei na ia a pau o ke kai na lakou, i mea e maona ai lakou?
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 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, Ua hoopokoleia anei ko Iehova lima? E ike auanei oe i ka hookoia ana paha o ka'u olelo ia oe, a i ka ole ana paha.
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 Hele aku la o Mose, a hai aku la i na kanaka i na olelo a Iehova, a houluulu ae la ia i na kanaka, he kanahiku o ka poe lunakahiko no na kanaka, a hooku ae la ia lakou a puni ka halelewa.
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 Iho mai la o Iehova ma ke ao, a olelo mai la ia ia, a. lawe ae la ia i ko ka Uhane maluna o Mose, a haawi aku la i ka poe lunakahiko he kanahiku: a i ka manawa i kau iho ai ka Uhane maluna o lakou, alaila wanana mai la lakou, aole i hooki.
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 Elua kanaka i koe aku ma kahi hoomoana, o Eledada, ka inoa o kekahi, a o Medada ka inoa o kekahi. Kau mai la ka Uhane maluna o laua: no ka poe laua i kakauia, aole nae laua i hele aku i ka halelewa, a wanana mai la laua ma kahi hoomoana.
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 A holo mai la kekahi kanaka opiopio, a hai mai la ia Mose, i mai la, Ke wanana mai la o Eledada laua o Medada ma kahi hoomoana.
So a young man ran and told Moses/me, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in all their tents!”
28 Pane mai la o Iosua ke keiki a Nuna, ke kauwa a Mose, he kanaka opiopio ona, i mai la, E kuu haku, e Mose, e papa aku oe ia laua.
Joshua, who had helped Moses/me since he was a young man, said, “Sir, tell them to stop doing that!”
29 I aku la o Mose ia ia, Ke huwa nei anei oe no'u? ke ake nei au e lilo ko Iehova poe kanaka a pau i poe kaula, a e kau mai o Iehova i kona Uhane maluna o lakou!
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 Hoi mai la o Mose i kahi hoomoana, oia a me ka poe lunakahiko o ka Iseraela.
Then Moses/I and all the leaders went back to their/our tents.
31 A huai mai la ka makani mai o Iehova mai, a hoopuka mai la i na selu mai ka moana mai, a hoohaule iho la ia lakou ma kahi hoomoana, e like me kekahi la hele ma keia aoao, a me kela aoao, a puni i kahi hoomoana, elua paha kubita maluna o ka honua.
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 Ku ae la na kanaka iluna ia la a po, ia po a ao, a ia la aku a po; ohi iho la lakou i na selu: a o ka mea hoiliili hapa, he umi na homera kana i hoiliili ai, a kaulai aku la lakou ia mea no lakou iho a puni kahi hoomoana.
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 Aia iwaena o ko lakou mau niho ka io, aole ia i nauia, aa mai la ka inaina o Iehova i na kanaka, a pepehi iho la o Iehova i na kanaka, he ahulau nui loa.
[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 A kapa iho la oia i ka inoa o ia wahi, o Kiberotahataava; no ka mea, malaila i kanu ai lakou i na kanaka kuko.
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 Hele aku la na kanaka mai Kiberotahataava aku a hiki i Hazerota, a noho iho la lakou i Hazerota.
From there, the Israelis continued walking [east] until they arrived at Hazeroth [town], where they stopped and stayed [for a long time].
