민수기 11

1 백성이 여호와의 들으시기에 악한 말로 원망하매 여호와께서 들으시고 진노하사 여호와의 불로 그들 중에 붙어서 진 끝을 사르게 하시매

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 백성이 모세에게 부르짖으므로 모세가 여호와께 기도하니 불이 꺼졌더라

Then the people cried out to Moses/me, and he/I prayed to Yahweh. Then the fire stopped burning.

3 그곳 이름을 다베라라 칭하였으니 이는 여호와의 불이 그들 중에 붙은 연고였더라

So they called that place Taberah, [which means ‘burning’], because the fire from Yahweh had burned among them.

4 이스라엘 중에 섞어 사는 무리가 탐욕을 품으매 이스라엘 자손도 다시 울며 가로되 '누가 우리에게 고기를 주어 먹게 할꼬?

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 우리가 애굽에 있을 때에는 값 없이 생선과 외와 수박과 부추와 파와 마늘들을 먹은 것이 생각나거늘

They said, “We wish we had some meat!

6 이제는 우리 정력이 쇠약하되 이 만나 외에는 보이는 것이 아무 것도 없도다' 하니

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 만나는 깟씨와 같고 모양은 진주와 같은 것이라

The manna resembled small white seeds.

8 백성이 두루 다니며 그것을 거두어 맷돌에 갈기도 하며 절구에 찧기도 하고 가마에 삶기도 하여 과자를 만들었으니 그 맛이 기름 섞은 과자맛 같았더라

[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 밤에 이슬이 진에 내릴 때에 만나도 같이 내렸더라

Each night the manna came down on their ground where their tents were, like dew [from the sky].

10 백성의 온 가족들이 각기 장막 문에서 우는 것을 모세가 들으니라 이러므로 여호와의 진노가 심히 크고 모세도 기뻐하지 아니하여

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 여호와께 여짜오되 `주께서 어찌하여 종을 괴롭게 하시나이까? 어찌하여 나로 주의 목전에 은혜를 입게 아니하시고 이 모든 백성을 내게 맡기사 나로 그 짐을 지게 하시나이까?

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 이 모든 백성을 내가 잉태하였나이까? 내가 어찌 그들을 생산하였기에 주께서 나더러 양육하는 아비가 젖 먹는 아이를 품듯 그들을 품에 품고 주께서 그들의 열조에게 맹세하신 땅으로 가라 하시나이까?

(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 이 모든 백성에게 줄 고기를 내가 어디서 얻으리이까? 그들이 나를 향하여 울며 가로되 우리에게 고기를 주어 먹게 하라 하온즉

Where can I get meat to feed all these people? They keep complaining to me, saying, ‘Give us some meat to eat!’

14 책임이 심히 중하여 나 혼자는 이 모든 백성을 질 수 없나이다

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 주께서 내게 이같이 행하실진대 구하옵나니 내게 은혜를 베푸사 즉시 나를 죽여 나로 나의 곤고함을 보지 않게 하옵소서'

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 여호와께서 모세에게 이르시되 이스라엘 노인 중 백성의 장로와 유사되는 줄을 네가 아는 자 칠십인을 모아 데리고 회막 내 앞에 이르러 거기서 너와 함께 서게 하라

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 내가 강림하여 거기서 너와 말하고 네게 임한 신을 그들에게도 임하게 하리니 그들이 너와 함께 백성의 짐을 담당하고 너 혼자 지지 아니하리라

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 또 백성에게 이르기를 너희 몸을 거룩히 하여 내일 고기 먹기를 기다리라 너희가 울며 이르기를 누가 우리에게 고기를 주어 먹게할꼬 애굽에 있을 때가 우리에게 재미 있었다 하는 말이 여호와께 들렸으므로 여호와께서 너희에게 고기를 주어 먹게 하실 것이라

“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 하루나 이틀이나 닷새나 열흘이나 이십일만 먹을 뿐 아니라

You will eat meat not only for one or two days, nor only for five or ten or 20 days.

20 코에서 넘쳐서 싫어하기까지 일개월간을 먹게 하시리니 이는 너희가 너희 중에 거하시는 여호와를 멸시하고 그 앞에서 울며 이르기를 우리가 어찌하여 애굽에서 나왔던고 함이라 하라

[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 모세가 가로되 `나와 함께 있는 이 백성의 보행자가 육십 만명이온데 주의 말씀이 일개월간 고기를 주어 먹게 하겠다 하시오니

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 그들을 위하여 양떼와 소떼를 잡은들 족하오며 바다의 모든 고기를 모은들 족하오리이까?'

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 여호와께서 모세에게 이르시되 여호와의 손이 짧아졌느냐? 네가 이제 내 말이 네게 응하는 여부를 보리라

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 모세가 나가서 여호와의 말씀을 백성에게 고하고 백성의 장로 칠십인을 모아 장막에 둘러 세우매

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 여호와께서 구름 가운데 강림하사 모세에게 말씀하시고 그에게 임한 신을 칠십 장로에게도 임하게 하시니 신이 임하신 때에 그들이 예언을 하다가 다시는 아니하였더라

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 그 녹명된 자 중 엘닷이라 하는 자와 메닷이라 하는 자 두 사람이 진에 머물고 회막에 나아가지 아니하였으나 그들에게도 신이 임하였으므로 진에서 예언한지라

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 한 소년이 달려와서 모세에게 고하여 가로되 `엘닷과 메닷이 진 중에서 예언하더이다' 하매

So a young man ran and told Moses/me, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in all their tents!”

28 택한 자 중 한 사람 곧 모세를 섬기는 눈의 아들 여호수아가 말하여 가로되 '내 주 모세여 금하소서'

Joshua, who had helped Moses/me since he was a young man, said, “Sir, tell them to stop doing that!”

29 모세가 그에게 이르되 `네가 나를 위하여 시기하느냐? 여호와께서 그 신을 그 모든 백성에게 주사 다 선지자 되게 하시기를 원하노라'

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 모세와 이스라엘 장로들이 진중으로 돌아왔더라

Then Moses/I and all the leaders went back to their/our tents.

31 바람이 여호와에게로서 나와 바다에서부터 메추라기를 몰아 진곁 이편, 저편 곧 진 사방으로 각기 하룻길 되는 지면 위 두 규빗쯤에 내리게 한지라

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 백성이 일어나 종일 종야와 그 이튿날 종일토록 메추라기를 모으니 적게 모은 자도 십 호멜이라 그들이 자기를 위하여 진 사면에 펴 두었더라

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 고기가 아직 잇사이에 있어 씹히기 전에 여호와께서 백성에게 대하여 진노하사 심히 큰 재앙으로 치셨으므로

[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 그곳 이름을 [기브롯 핫다아와]라 칭하였으니 탐욕을 낸 백성을 거기 장사함이었더라

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 백성이 기브롯 핫다아와에서 진행하여 하세롯에 이르러 거기 거하니라

From there, the Israelis continued walking [east] until they arrived at Hazeroth [town], where they stopped and stayed [for a long time].
