Ọnụọgụgụ 11

1 Mgbe na-adịghị anya ụmụ Izrel bidoro itamu ntamu nʼihi ihe ike niile ha na-ezute nʼije ha. Ma ntamu a ruru Onyenwe anyị ntị. Nʼihi ya, Onyenwe anyị were iwe dị ukwuu megide ha. Ọkụ sitere nʼebe Onyenwe anyị nọ, ree nʼetiti ha, repịa ụfọdụ ndị bi nʼakụkụ ngwụsị ọmụma ụlọ ikwu ahụ.

And it came to pass that when the people were giving themselves up to murmuring, it was grievous in the ears of Yahweh, —so Yahweh hearkened, and kindled was his anger, and the fire of Yahweh burned among them, and consumed the uttermost part of the camp.

2 Mgbe nke a mere, ụmụ Izrel tikuru Mosis mkpu akwa. Mosis kpere ekpere nye Onyenwe anyị nʼihi ha, ọkụ ahụ kwụsịkwara.

Then did the people make outcry unto Moses, —and Moses prayed unto Yahweh, and the fire sank down.

3 Nʼihi ya, a kpọrọ ebe ahụ Tabera, nʼihi ọkụ ahụ si nʼebe Onyenwe anyị nọ ree nʼetiti ha.

So he called the name of that place, Taberah ["A Burning"] because there burned among them the fire of Yahweh.

4 Ndị amakekwu so ụmụ Izrel nʼije a malitere itamu ntamu banyere nri ndị ọzọ na-agụ ha agụụ. Nke a mere ka ụmụ Izrel malite ịkwa akwa, na-asị, “A sịkwarị na anyị nwere anụ anyị ga-ata.

Moreover the mixed multitude that was in their midst concealed not their lusting, —and so even the sons of Israel, fell away and wept, and said: Who will grant us to eat flesh?

5 Anyị chetara azụ anyị tara nʼIjipt, nke na-adịghị efu anyị ego, ya na kukumba, na melọn, na liik, na ayo na galiik.

We remember the fish that we did eat in Egypt, without money, —the cucumbers, and the water-melons, and the leeks and the onions, and the garlick.

6 Ma ugbu a, anyị enweghịkwa agụụ iri nri, nʼihi na site nʼụbọchị ruo nʼụbọchị, ọ bụ naanị mánà bụ ihe oriri anyị nwere.”

But, now, our soul is dried up, there is nothing at all, —unless, unto the manna, [we turn] our eyes.

7 Mánà dịka mkpụrụ kọrianda, na-acha ka eso osisi kpọrọ nkụ.

Now, the manna, was like coriander seed, and the appearance thereof like the appearance of bdellium,

8 Ndị Izrel na-ejegharị na-achịkọta ha. Emesịa, ha na-eji nkume e ji akwọ nri na-akwọri ha. Oge ụfọdụ, ha na-eji ikwe nri sụọ ya. Emesịa, ha na-esi ya esi, maọbụ ghee ya eghe. Ọ na-atọ dịka ihe e ji mmanụ oliv ghee.

The people used to go about and pick it up, and grind it with a pair of mill-stones, or pound it in a mortar, and boil it in a pot, and make it into round cakes, —then was the taste thereof like the taste of a sweet cake made with oil.

9 Mánà ndị a na-ada mgbe igirigi dara nʼọmụma ụlọ ikwu nʼabalị.

When the dew came down upon the camp by night, the manna came down thereupon.

10 Mosis nụrụ mkpu akwa ụmụ Izrel niile, nke na-ada nʼezinaụlọ ọbụla nʼakụkụ ọnụ ụzọ ụlọ ikwu ha. Iwe were Onyenwe anyị nke ukwuu. Otu a kwa, obi jọrọ Mosis njọ nke ukwuu.

So then Moses heard the people weeping by their families, every one at the entrance of his tent, —then kindled the anger of Yahweh fiercely, and in the eyes of Moses, it was grievous.

11 Mosis jụrụ Onyenwe anyị sị, “Gịnị mere i ji bokwasị ohu gị nsogbu dị otu a nʼisi? Gịnị ka m mere na m ahụtakwaghị amara nʼebe ị nọ, nke mere i ji bukwasị m ibu arọ nke ilekọta ndị a?

And Moses said unto Yahweh—Wherefore hast thou let thy servant come to grief, and wherefore have I not found favour in thine eyes, —that thou shouldest lay the burden of all this people upon me?

12 Ọ bụ m tụrụ ime ndị a niile? Ọ bụ m mụrụ ha? Gịnị mere i ji si m kuru ha nʼaka m gawa nʼala ahụ ị ṅụrụ nʼiyi inye nna nna ha, dịka m bụ nne nwa na-ekugharị nwantakịrị?

Did, I, conceive all this people, or, I, beget them, —that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father carrieth a suckling, unto the soil which thou didst swear unto their fathers?

13 Ebee ka m ga-achọta anụ ga-ezuru igwe mmadụ ndị a? Lee na ha na-akwasa m akwa na-asị m, ‘Nye anyị anụ!’

Whence should, I, have flesh to give to all this people, —for they keep weeping by me saying, Oh give us flesh that we may eat!

14 Agaghị m ebulite ibu ịchịkọta ndị a niile nʼonwe m! Ibu a dị m arọ nke ukwuu.

Unable, am, I, by myself, to carry all this people, —for they are too heavy for me.

15 Ọ bụrụ na ị ga-esi otu a meso m mmeso, biko napụ m ndụ m ugbu a, nʼihi na ọnwụ m ga-egosi na m natara amara nʼebe ị nọ. Site nʼọnọdụ a ga-ewetara m mbibi wezuga m.”

But if, in this way, thou art going to deal with me, slay me, I beseech thee, slay, if I have found favour in thine eyes, —and let me not see my grief,

16 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị ya, “Kpọkọta iri ndị okenye ụmụ Izrel asaa, ndị ị maara na ha bụ ndị ndu, na ndị nlekọta ije ozi nʼetiti ụmụ Izrel. Kpọta ha nʼụlọ nzute m ka ha soro gị guzoro.

Then said Yahweh unto Moses—Gather thou unto me seventy men, from among the elders of Israel, of whom thou knowest that they are elders of the people and their overseers, —then shalt thou take them unto the tent of meeting, and they shall station themselves there with thee.

17 Aga m abịa nʼebe ahụ gwa gị okwu. Mgbe ahụ kwa, aga m ewere ụfọdụ nʼime Mmụọ m dị nʼime gị tinye nʼime iri ndị ndu asaa ahụ. Ha ga-enyere gị aka ibu ibu arọ nke ịchịkọta ụmụ Izrel. Nʼụzọ dị otu a, ọ gaghị abụkwa ibu dịrị naanị gị ibu.

Then will I come down, and speak with thee there, and will take of the spirit that is upon thee and put upon them, —and they shall carry, with thee, the burden of the people, and, thou, shalt not carry it by thyself.

18 “Ugbu a, gwa ndị Izrel niile si ha, ‘Doonụ onwe unu nsọ, kwadoonụ maka echi, mgbe unu ga-ata anụ. Onyenwe anyị nụrụ mgbe unu kwara akwa sị, “A sịkwa na anyị nwere anụ anyị ga-ata. Ihe dịrị anyị mma nʼIjipt karịa otu ọ dị ugbu a.”

And, unto the people, shalt thou say: Hallow yourselves by to-morrow, and ye shall eat flesh, for ye have wept in the ears of Yahweh saying—Who will grant us to eat flesh? for it was well with us in Egypt, —so then Yahweh will give you flesh and ye shall eat.

19 Anụ unu ga-eri abụghị naanị nke otu ụbọchị, maọbụ ụbọchị abụọ, maọbụ ụbọchị ise, maọbụ iri, ma ọ bụkwanụ iri ụbọchị abụọ!

Not one day, shall ye eat nor two days, —nor five days nor ten days, nor twenty days:

20 Kama unu ga-eri ya otu ọnwa zuru ezu, ruo mgbe ọ ga-esi unu nʼimi sọpụta, ghọrọ unu ihe ịsọ oyi. Nʼihi na unu ajụla Onyenwe anyị, onye nọ nʼetiti unu, kwaa akwa nʼihu ya, sị, “Gịnị mere anyị ji site nʼala Ijipt pụta?”’”

for a month of days until it cometh forth out of your nostrils, so shall it become to you a loathsome thing, —because ye have refused Yahweh who is in your midst, and have wept before him, saying, Wherefore now came we forth out of Egypt?

21 Ma Mosis sịrị Onyenwe anyị, “Ọnụọgụgụ ndị ikom dị narị puku isii ndị ji ụkwụ eje ka m nọ nʼetiti ha, ma ị na-asị, ‘Aga m enye ha anụ otu ọnwa.’

And Moses said, Six hundred thousand footmen, are the people in whose midst am, I, yet thou hast said—Flesh, will I give unto them, and they shall eat for a month of days.

22 Ọ ga-ezuru ha ma ọ bụrụ na e gbuoro ha igwe ehi na atụrụ? Ọ bụ azụ niile nke dị nʼoke osimiri ga-ezuru ha ma egbuo ha niile nye ha?”

Shall the flocks and herds, be slaughtered for them, that it may suffice for them? Shall all the fishes of the sea, be gathered together unto them that it may suffice for them?

23 Onyenwe anyị sịrị Mosis, “Aka Onyenwe anyị ọ dị mkpụmkpụ? Ugbu a, ị ga-ahụ ma m ga-emezu okwu m, maọbụ na m agaghị emezu ya.”

Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Shall the hand of Yahweh, fail? Now, shalt thou see whether my word come to pass unto thee or not.

24 Ya mere, Mosis pụrụ ga gwa ụmụ Izrel ihe Onyenwe anyị kwuru. Ọ chịkọtara iri ndị okenye asaa ahụ nye ha ọnọdụ gburugburu ụlọ nzute ahụ.

And Moses went forth and spake unto the people the words of Yahweh, —and gathered together seventy men from among the elders of the people, and caused them to stand round about the tent.

25 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị rịdatara nʼime igwe ojii. Ya na Mosis kparịtaa ụka. Onyenwe anyị weere ụfọdụ nʼime Mmụọ dị nʼime Mosis, tinye ya nʼime iri ndị okenye asaa ndị ahụ. Mgbe Mmụọ a batara nʼime ha, ha niile buru amụma. Ma ha ebughị amụma gaa nʼihu.

Then Yahweh came down, in the cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave unto the seventy men—the elders. And it came to pass that when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and then did so no more.

26 Ma mmadụ abụọ nʼime iri ndị okenye asaa ndị ahụ, Eldad na Medad nọgidere nʼọmụma ụlọ ikwu ha. Ọ bụ ezie na e depụtara aha ha dịka ndị ndu, ma ha esoghị ndị ọzọ gaa nʼụlọ nzute. Ma Mmụọ ahụ bịakwasịrị ha nʼebe ahụ ha nọ. Ha bukwara amụma.

Now there were two men left behind in the camp—the name of the one, was Eldad and the name of the other, Medad, so then the spirit, rested on them—they, being among them who were written, though they had not gone forth unto the tent, —but they prophesied in the camp.

27 Otu okorobịa gbapụrụ ọsọ gaa kọọrọ Mosis sị ya, “Eldad na Medad na-ebu amụma nʼọmụma ụlọ ikwu ha.”

And there ran a young man, and told Moses and said, —Eldad and Medad, are prophesying in the camp!

28 Joshua nwa Nun, onyeozi Mosis site na mgbe ọ bụ okorobịa, gwara Mosis okwu sị ya, “Onyenwe m Mosis, mee ka ndị a kwụsị ibu amụma.”

Then responded Joshua son of Nun the attendant of Moses from his youth, and said, —My lord Moses forbid them!

29 Ma Mosis zara sị, “Ọ bụ nʼihi ikwochitara m ekworo ka i ji chọọ ka m kwụsị ha? Ọ gaara atọ m ụtọ ma a sị na ndị Onyenwe anyị niile bụ ndị amụma, ndị Onyenwe anyị ga-etinye Mmụọ ya nʼime ha!”

But Moses said unto him, Art, thou, jealous for, me? Oh would that, all the people of Yahweh, were prophets! Yea let Yahweh put his spirit upon them!

30 Mgbe ahụ Mosis na ndị okenye Izrel ndị ahụ niile lọghachiri nʼebe ụlọ ikwu ha dị.

Then was Moses received back into the camp, —he and the elders of Israel.

31 Otu oke ifufe sitere nʼebe Onyenwe anyị nọ bịa si nʼosimiri bute ọtụtụ nnụnụ a na-akpọ kweel. O mere ka nnụnụ ndị a daa nʼebe ụmụ Izrel mara ụlọ ikwu ha, nʼime ogige ya niile. Nnụnụ ndị a fere ihe dịka otu mita site nʼelu ala, nʼakụkụ niile, ruo nʼebe mmadụ pụrụ iji ụkwụ jeruo nʼotu ụbọchị. Ha jupụtakwara ebe niile.

Now, a wind, had sprung up, from Yahweh, and cut off quails from the sea, and let them lie over the camp—as it were a days journey here and a days journey there, round about the camp, —and as it were two cubits on the face of the land.

32 Ya mere ndị Izrel biliri ụbọchị ahụ niile, na nʼabalị ahụ niile, na echi ya niile pụọ ịchịkọta nnụnụ kweel ndị a! Onye gbutere nke nta gbutezuru ihe ọtụtụ homa iri. Ha gbasara ha akụkụ niile nke ogige ọmụma ụlọ ikwu ahụ.

And the people rose up all that day and all the night and all the next day, and gathered the quails, he that did least, gathered ten homers, —and they spread them out for themselves spreading away, round about the camp.

33 Ma mgbe anụ ndị a ka dị ha nʼọnụ, Onyenwe anyị were iwe dị ukwuu megide ha. O tiri ha nrịa nrịa na-efe efe.

The flesh, was yet between their teeth, not yet chewed, —when the anger of Yahweh, had kindled upon the people, and Yahweh smote the people, with an exceeding great plague.

34 Nʼihi nke a, a kpọrọ aha ebe ahụ Kibrọt Hataava, nʼihi na nʼebe ahụ ka e liri ndị Izrel nwụrụ nʼihi oke ọchịchọ nri.

And the name of that place was called Kibroth-hattaavah—because there, they buried the people who had lusted,

35 Site na Kibrọt Hataava, ndị Izrel biliri njem rute Hazerọt ebe ha nọrọ.

From Kibroth-hattaavah, the people set forward to Hazeroth, —and they remained in Hazeroth.
