Okubala 11
1 Awo abantu ne beemulugunya olw’ebizibu byabwe nga ne Mukama awulira; bwe yabawulira obusungu bwe ne bubuubuuka. Omuliro ne guva eri Mukama ne gwakira mu bo, ne gwokya ebitundu ebimu ebyali bikomererayo eby’olusiisira lwabwe.
The people were complaining in the ears of the LORD. When the LORD heard it, his anger burnt; and the LORD’s fire burnt amongst them, and consumed some of the outskirts of the camp.
2 Abantu ne bakaabirira Musa; Musa n’asaba Mukama, omuliro ne guzikira.
The people cried to Moses; and Moses prayed to the LORD, and the fire abated.
3 Ekifo ekyo ne kituumibwa erinnya Tabera, kubanga omuliro ogwava eri Mukama gwabaakiramu.
The name of that place was called Taberah, because the LORD’s fire burnt amongst them.
4 Abagwira abaali beetabudde mu baana ba Isirayiri ne baluluunkanira ebyokulya; n’abaana ba Isirayiri nabo ne bongera okukaaba nga bwe bagamba nti, “Singa nno tufuna ku nnyama ne tulyako!
The mixed multitude that was amongst them lusted exceedingly; and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, “Who will give us meat to eat?
5 Tukyajjukira ebyennyanja bye twalyanga mu Misiri nga tewali na kye tubisasulidde, ne wujju n’ensujju, n’enderema n’obutungulu ne katungulukyumu n’ebyokuliira.
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 Naye kaakano n’okwoya emmere kutuweddemu, buli we tukuba eriiso tulaba mmaanu eno!”
but now we have lost our appetite. There is nothing at all except this manna to look at.”
7 Emmaanu yafaanananga ng’ensigo za koliyanda, nga n’ekifaananyi kyayo kiri ng’ekya bideriamu.
The manna was like coriander seed, and it looked like bdellium.
8 Abantu baagendanga ne bagikuŋŋaanya ne bagiseera ku lubengo oba ne bagisekulira mu binu, ne bagifumba mu ntamu oba ne bakolamu bukeeke. Nga mu kamwa ebanga ekoleddwa n’amafuta ga zeyituuni.
The people went around, gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in mortars, and boiled it in pots, and made cakes of it. Its taste was like the taste of fresh oil.
9 Omusulo bwe gwagwanga mu lusiisira ekiro n’emmaanu nayo n’egwa nagwo.
When the dew fell on the camp in the night, the manna fell on it.
10 Musa n’awulira abantu aba buli luggya nga bakaaba, buli omu ng’akaabira mu muzigo gw’eweema ye; obusungu bwa Mukama Katonda ne bubuubuuka nnyo, ne Musa n’asoberwa n’anyiikaala.
Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, every man at the door of his tent; and the LORD’s anger burnt greatly; and Moses was displeased.
11 Musa n’agamba Mukama Katonda nti, “Lwaki oleetedde omuddu wo obuzibu buno? Nkoze ki ekitakusanyusizza ne kikuleetera okwetikka omugugu gw’abantu bano bonna?
Moses said to the LORD, “Why have you treated your servant so badly? Why haven’t I found favour in your sight, that you lay the burden of all this people on me?
12 Nze nali olubuto omwali abantu bano bonna? Nze nabazaala? Lwaki oŋŋamba okubasitula mu mikono gyange ng’omulezi w’abaana bw’asitula omwana omuwere mbatwale mu nsi gye wabasuubiza ng’ogirayirira bajjajjaabwe?
Have I conceived all this people? Have I brought them out, that you should tell me, ‘Carry them in your bosom, as a nurse carries a nursing infant, to the land which you swore to their fathers’?
13 Ennyama abantu bano bonna gye banaalya nnaagiggya wa? Kubanga baneetayirira nga bankaabirira nti, ‘Tuwe ennyama tulye!’
Where could I get meat to give all these people? For they weep before me, saying, ‘Give us meat, that we may eat.’
14 Sisobola kusitula bantu bano bonna bw’omu kubanga obuzito bwabwe buyinza okummenya nga ndi nzekka.
I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.
15 Obanga bw’otyo bw’ojja okumpisa, ate nga bulijjo ondaga ekisa kyo, kale nno nzitiraawo kaakano oleme kundeka ne neereetera okwezikiriza.”
If you treat me this way, please kill me right now, if I have found favour in your sight; and don’t let me see my wretchedness.”
16 Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Nfunira abasajja nsanvu mu bakulu ba Isirayiri b’omanyi nga be bakulu b’abantu era nga be bakulembeze baabwe obaleete ku Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, bayimirire awo naawe.
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 Tent of Meeting, that they may stand there with you.
17 Nzija kukka awo njogere naawe; era nzija kutoola ku mwoyo oguli mu ggwe ngubateekemu, balyokenga bakusitulireko omugugu gw’abantu oleme kugwetikkanga wekka.
I will come down and talk with you there. 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 don’t bear it yourself alone.
18 “Abantu bagambe nti, ‘Mwetukuze nga mwetegekera olunaku lw’enkya, lwe mujja okulya ennyama. Kubanga Mukama Katonda yabawulira nga mumukaabirira bwe muti nti, “Singa tufunye ku nnyama ne tulyako! Bwe twali mu Misiri twali bulungi!” Noolwekyo Mukama ajja kubawa ennyama mugirye.
“Say to the people, ‘Sanctify yourselves in preparation for tomorrow, and you will eat meat; for you have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying, “Who will give us meat to eat? For it was well with us in Egypt.” Therefore the LORD will give you meat, and you will eat.
19 Temugenda kugirya mu lunaku lumu, oba mu nnaku bbiri, oba mu nnaku ttaano, oba mu nnaku kkumi, oba nnaku abiri;
You will not eat just one day, or two days, or five days, or ten days, or twenty days,
20 naye kumala mwezi mulambirira, okutuusa lw’erifulumira mu nnyindo zammwe n’ebanyiwa, kubanga mwesamudde Mukama Katonda abeera mu mmwe, ne mumukaabirira nga mugamba nti, “Mu Misiri twaviirayo ki?”’”
but a whole month, until it comes out at your nostrils, and it is loathsome to you; because you have rejected the LORD who is amongst you, and have wept before him, saying, “Why did we come out of Egypt?”’”
21 Musa n’agamba nti, “Abantu bano mwe ndi bawera omuwendo gwa mitwalo nkaaga abatambuza ebigere, naawe ogamba nti, ‘Nzija kubawa ennyama gye banaalya okumala omwezi mulamba!’
Moses said, “The people, amongst whom I am, are six hundred thousand men on foot; and you have said, ‘I will give them meat, that they may eat a whole month.’
22 Ebisolo ebiri mu biraalo ne mu bisibo bwe binattibwa binaabamala? Nantiki ebyennyanja byonna eby’omu nnyanja bwe binaavubibwa ne bibaweebwa, binaabamala?”
Shall flocks and herds be slaughtered for them, to be sufficient for them? Shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to be sufficient for them?”
23 Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Omukono gwa Mukama Katonda guyimpawadde? Kaakano ojja kulaba obanga ekigambo kyange kye nkugambye kinaatuukirira oba tekiituukirire.”
The LORD said to Moses, “Has the LORD’s hand grown short? Now you will see whether my word will happen to you or not.”
24 Awo Musa n’afuluma n’ategeeza abantu ebigambo bya Mukama Katonda; n’akuŋŋaanya abasajja nsanvu mu bakulembeze b’abantu n’abayimiriza okumpi ne Weema ya Mukama.
Moses went out, and told the people the LORD’s words; and he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them around the Tent.
25 Awo Mukama Katonda n’akkira mu kire n’ayogera ne Musa, n’addira ku mwoyo ogwali mu Musa n’agussa mu bakulembeze ensanvu. Omwoyo bwe baagufuna ne batandika okutegeeza obunnabbi, kyokka tebaddayo nate kukikola.
The LORD came down in the cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the Spirit that was on him, and put it on the seventy elders. When the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied, but they did so no more.
26 Waaliwo abasajja babiri nga bayitibwa Eridaadi ne Medadi, baali babaliddwa ku bakulembeze ensanvu, naye bo ne basigala mu lusiisira, ne batagenda ku Weema ya Mukama; nabo baafuna omwoyo, era ne bategeeza obunnabbi mu lusiisira.
But two men remained in the camp. The name of one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad; and the Spirit rested on them. They were of those who were written, but had not gone out to the Tent; and they prophesied in the camp.
27 Omuvubuka n’adduka n’agenda ategeeza Musa nti, “Eridaadi ne Medadi bategeeza obunnabbi mu lusiisira.”
A young man ran, and told Moses, and said, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp!”
28 Awo Yoswa mutabani wa Nuuni, omuweereza wa Musa gwe yali yeerondedde ng’akyali muvubuka n’agamba nti, “Mukama wange Musa, baziyize.”
Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his chosen men, answered, “My lord Moses, forbid them!”
29 Naye Musa n’amugamba nti, “Okwatiddwa obuggya ku lwange? Kyandibadde kirungi singa abantu ba Mukama bonna bannabbi, ne Mukama Katonda n’abawa omwoyo gwe!”
Moses said to him, “Are you jealous for my sake? I wish that all the LORD’s people were prophets, that the LORD would put his Spirit on them!”
30 Musa n’abakulembeze ba Isirayiri ne baddayo mu lusiisira.
Moses went into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
31 Awo empewo n’eva eri Mukama Katonda n’ereeta obugubi nga buva mu nnyanja ne bugwa okwebungulula olusiisira nga bukoze entuumo nga ya mita emu okuva ku ttaka, nga bujjuza ebbanga lya lugendo lwa lunaku lumu ku ludda olumu olw’olusiisira n’olugendo lwa lunaku lumu ku ludda olulala.
A wind from the LORD went out 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, around the camp, and about two cubits above the surface of the earth.
32 Ku lunaku olwo ne ku lunaku olwaddirira abantu ne bakuŋŋaanya obugubi emisana n’ekiro. Tewali yakuŋŋaanya buzito bwakka wansi wa kilo lukumi; ne babwanika buli wantu mu lusiisira.
The people rose up all that day, and all of that night, and all the next day, and gathered the quails. He who gathered least gathered ten homers; and they spread them all out for themselves around the camp.
33 Naye ennyama yali ekyali mu mannyo gaabwe nga tebannaba kugirya, obusungu bwa Mukama Katonda ne bubuubuukira abantu n’abaleetera kawumpuli ow’amaanyi ennyo.
While the meat was still between their teeth, before it was chewed, the LORD’s anger burnt against the people, and the LORD struck the people with a very great plague.
34 Noolwekyo ekifo ekyo kyekyava kituumibwa Kiberosu Katava, kubanga awo we baaziika abantu abaalina omulugube.
The name of that place was called Kibroth Hattaavah, because there they buried the people who lusted.
35 Abantu bwe baava e Kiberosu Katava ne batambula okutuuka e Kazerosi ne babeera awo.
From Kibroth Hattaavah the people travelled to Hazeroth; and they stayed at Hazeroth.
