民数記 11

1 茲に民災難に罹れる者のごとくにヱホバの耳に呟きぬヱホバその怨言を聞て震怒を發したまひければヱホバの火かれらに向ひて燃いでその營の極端を燒り

And the people were as murmurers, speaking evil in the ears of Jehovah. And when Jehovah heard it, his anger was kindled, and the fire of Jehovah burnt among them, and devoured in the outermost part of the camp.

2 是に於て民モーセに呼はりしがモーセ、ヱホバに祈ければその火鎮りぬ

And the people cried to Moses. And Moses prayed to Jehovah, and the fire abated.

3 ヱホバの火かれらに向ひて燃出たるに因てその處の名をタベラ(燃)と稱ぶ

And the name of that place was called Taberah, because the fire of Jehovah burnt among them.

4 茲に彼等の中なる衆多の寄集人等慾心を起すイスラエルの子孫もまた再び哭て言ふ誰か我らに肉を與へて食しめんか

And the mixed multitude that was among them lusted exceedingly. And the sons of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?

5 憶ひ出るに我等エジプトにありし時は魚黄瓜水瓜韮葱靑蒜等を心のままに食へり

We remember the fish which we ate in Egypt for nothing, the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic,

6 然るに今は我儕の精神枯衰ふ我らの目の前にはこのマナの外何も有ざるなりと

but now our soul is dried away. There is nothing at all except this manna to look upon.

7 マナは莞荽の實のごとくにしてその色はブドラクの色のごとし

And the manna was like coriander seed, and the appearance of it as the appearance of bdellium.

8 民行巡りてこれを斂め石磨にひき或は臼に搗てこれを釜の中に煮て餅となせりその味は油菓子の味のごとし

The people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in mortars, and boiled it in pots, and made cakes of it. And the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil.

9 夜にいりて露營に降る時にマナその上に降れり

And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it.

10 モーセ聞に民の家々の者おのおのその天幕の門口に哭く是におひてヱホバ烈しく怒を發したまふこの事またモーセの目にも惡く見ゆ

And Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, every man at the door of his tent. And the anger of Jehovah was kindled greatly, and Moses was displeased.

11 モーセすなはちヱホバに言けるは汝なんぞ僕を惡くしたまふ乎いかなれば我汝の前に恩を獲ずして汝かく此すべての民をわが任となして我に負せたまふや

And Moses said to Jehovah, Why have thou dealt ill with thy servant? And why have I not found favor in thy sight, that thou lay the burden of all this people upon me?

12 この總體の民は我が姙みし者ならんや我が生し者ならんや然るに汝なんぞ我に慈父が乳哺子を抱くがごとくに彼らを懐に抱きて汝が昔日かれらの先祖等に誓ひたまひし地に至れと言たまふや

Have I conceived all this people? Have I brought them forth, that thou should say to me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nurturing father carries the sucking child, to the land which thou swore to their fathers?

13 我何處より肉を得てこの總體の民に與へんや彼等は我にむかひて哭き我等に肉を與へて食しめよと言なり

From where should I have flesh to give to all this people? For they weep to me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.

14 我は一人にてはこの總體の民をわが任として負ことあたはず是は我には重きに過ればなり

I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.

15 我もし汝の前に恩を獲ば請ふ斯我を爲んよりは寧ろ直に我を殺したまへ我をしてわが困苦を見せしめたまふ勿れ

And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favor in thy sight, and let me not see my wretchedness.

16 是においてヱホバ、モーセに言たまはくイスラエルの老人の中民の長老たり有司たるを汝が知るところの者七十人を我前に集め集會の幕屋に携きたりて其處に汝とともに立しめよ

And Jehovah said to Moses, Gather to me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou know to be the elders of the people and officers over them. And bring them to the tent of meeting, that they may stand there with thee.

17 我降りて其處にて汝と言はん又われ汝の上にあるところの霊を彼等にも分ち與へん彼等汝とともに民の任を負ひ汝をして只一人にて之を負ふこと無らしむべし

And I will come down and talk with thee there. And I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them, and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou not bear it thyself alone.

18 汝また民に告て言へ汝等身を潔めて明日を待て必ず肉を食ふことを得ん汝等ヱホバの耳に哭て誰か我等に肉を與へて食しめん我らエジプトにありし時は却て善りしと言たればヱホバなんぢらに肉を與へて食しめたまふべし

And say thou to the people, Sanctify yourselves against tomorrow, and ye shall eat flesh, for ye have wept in the ears of Jehovah, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? For it was well with us in Egypt. Therefore Jehovah will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.

19 汝等がこれを食ふは一日や二日や五日や十日や二十日にはあらずして

Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days,

20 一月におよび遂に汝らの鼻より出るにいたらん汝等これに饜はつべし是なんぢら己等の中にいますヱホバを軽んじてその前に哭き我等何とてエジプトより出しやと言たればなり

but a whole month, until it comes out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome to you, because ye have rejected Jehovah who is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why did we come forth out of Egypt?

21 モーセ言けるは我が偕にをる民は歩卒のみにても六十萬あり然るに汝は我かれらに肉を與へて一月の間食しめんと言たまふ

And Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand footmen, and thou have said, I will give them flesh, that they may eat a whole month.

22 羊と牛の群を宰るとも彼等を飽しむることを得んや海の魚をことごとく集むるとも彼等を飽しむることを得んや

Shall flocks and herds be slain for them, to suffice them? Or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to suffice them?

23 ヱホバ、モーセに言たまはくヱホバの手短からんや吾言の成と然らざるとは汝今これを見るあらん

And Jehovah said to Moses, Is Jehovah's hand grown short? Now thou shall see whether my word shall come to pass to thee or not.

24 是に於てモーセ出きたりてヱホバの言を民に告げ民の長老七十人を集めて幕屋の四圍に立しめけるに

And Moses went out, and told the people the words of Jehovah. And he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them round about the tent.

25 ヱホバ雲の中にありて降りモーセと言ひモーセのうへにある霊をもてその長老七十人にも分ち與へたまひしがその霊かれらの上にやどりしかば彼等預言せり但し此後はかさねて爲ざりき

And Jehovah came down in the cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and put it upon the seventy elders. And it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, but they did so no more.

26 時に彼等の中なる二人の者營に止まり居るその一人の名はエルダデといひ一人の名はメダデと曰ふ霊またかれらの上にもやどれり彼らは其名を録されたる者なりしが幕屋に往ざりければ營の中にて預言をなせり

But there remained two men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad. And the spirit rested upon them. And they were of those who were written, but had not gone out to the tent. And they prophesied in the camp.

27 時に一人の少者奔りきたりモーセに告てエルダデとメダデ營の中にて預言すと言ければ

And a young man ran, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp.

28 その少時よりしてモーセの從者たりしヌンの子ヨシユアこたへて曰けるは吾主モーセこれを禁めたまヘ

And Joshua the son of Nun, the minister of Moses, one of his chosen men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them.

29 モーセこれに言けるは汝わがために媢嫉を起すやヱホバの民の皆預言者とならんことまたヱホバのその霊を之に降したまはんことこそ願しけれ

And Moses said to him, Are thou jealous for my sake? Would that all of Jehovah's people were prophets, that Jehovah would put his spirit upon them!

30 斯てモーセ、イスラエルの長老等とともに營に返れり

And Moses went into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.

31 茲にヱホバの許より風おこり出て海の方より鶉を吹きたりこれをして營の周圍に堕しめたりその堕ひろがれること營の四周此旁も大約一日路彼旁も大約一日路地の表より高きこと大約二キユビトなりき

And there went forth a wind from Jehovah, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, about a day's journey on this side, and a day's journey on the other side, round about the camp, and about two cubits above the face of the earth.

32 民すなはち起あがりてその日終日その夜終夜またその次の日終日鶉を拾ひ斂めけるが拾ひ斂むることの至て寡き者も十ホメルほど拾ひ斂めたり皆これを營の周圍に陳べおけり

And the people rose up all that day, and all the night, and all the next day, and gathered the quails. He who gathered least gathered ten homers. And they spread them all abroad for themselves round about the camp.

33 肉なほ歯のあひだにありていまだ食つくさざるにヱホバ民にむかひて怒を發しこれを撃ておほいに滅ぼしたまへり

While the flesh was yet between their teeth, before it was chewed, the anger of Jehovah was kindled against the people, and Jehovah smote the people with a very great plague.

34 是をもてその處の名をキブロテハッタワ(慾心の墓)とよべり其は慾心をおこせる人々を其處に埋たればなり

And the name of that place was called Kibrothhattaavah, because there they buried the people who lusted.

35 斯て民キブロテハツタワよりハゼロテに進みゆきてハゼロテに居ぬ

From Kibrothhattaavah the people journeyed to Hazeroth, and they abode at Hazeroth.
