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 when the people complained, it displeased the LORD: and the LORD heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts 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 when Moses prayed to the LORD, the fire was quenched.

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 he called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire of the LORD 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 fell a lusting: and the children 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 did eat in Egypt freely; 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, beside this manna, before our eyes.

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 as coriander seed, and the color thereof as the color 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

And the people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in a mortar, and baked it in pans, 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 on the camp in the night, the manna fell on 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

Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, every man in the door of his tent: and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly; Moses also 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 the LORD, Why have you afflicted your servant? and why have I not found favor in your sight, that you lay the burden of all this people on 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 begotten them, that you should say to me, Carry them in your bosom, as a nursing father bears the sucking child, to the land which you 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 you deal thus with me, kill me, I pray you, out of hand, if I have found favor in your 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 the LORD said to Moses, Gather to me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them to the tabernacle of the congregation, that they may stand there with you.

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 you there: and I will take of the spirit which is on you, and will put it on them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, that you bear it not yourself 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 you to the people, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow, and you shall eat flesh: for you have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt: therefore the LORD will give you flesh, and you 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

You 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 even a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome to you: because that you have despised the LORD which is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we 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 you 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 the flocks and the 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 the LORD said to Moses, Is the LORD’s hand waxed short? you shall see now whether my word shall come to pass to you 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 the LORD, and gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them round about the tabernacle.

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 the LORD came down in a cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the spirit that was on him, and gave it to the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested on them, they prophesied, and did not cease.

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 of the men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the spirit rested on them; and they were of them that were written, but went not out to the tabernacle: 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 there ran a young man, 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 servant of Moses, one of his young 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, Envy you for my sake? would God that all the LORD’s people were prophets, and that the LORD would put his spirit on 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 got him 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 the LORD, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, as it were a day’s journey on this side, and as it were a day’s journey on the other side, round about the camp, and as it were two cubits high on 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 stood up all that day, and all that night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails: he that 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

And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, before it was chewed, the wrath of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the LORD 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 he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah: because there they buried the people that 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

And the people journeyed from Kibrothhattaavah to Hazeroth; and stayed at Hazeroth.
