1 Ary dia nitaraim-pahoriana teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah ny olona, ary nony ren’ i Jehovah izany, dia nirehitra ny fahatezerany, ary ny afon’ i Jehovah nandoro azy, ka may ny teo an-tsisin’ ny toby.
And it came to pass that when the people murmured, it was evil in the ears of Jehovah; and Jehovah heard it, and his anger was kindled, and the fire of Jehovah burned among them, and consumed [some] in the extremity of the camp.
2 Dia nitaraina tamin’ i Mosesy ny olona; ary Mosesy nifona tamin’ i Jehovah, dia maty ny afo.
And the people cried to Moses; and Moses prayed to Jehovah — and the fire abated.
3 Ary ny anaran’ izany tany izany dia nataony hoe Tabera, satria nandoro azy ny afon’ i Jehovah.
And they called the name of that place Taberah; because a fire of Jehovah burned among them.
4 Ary ny olona hafa firenena izay niharo taminy dia liana, ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely koa dia nitomany indray hoe: Enga anie ka hisy hanome hena hohaninay!
And the mixed multitude that was among them lusted; and the children of Israel also wept again and said, Who will give us flesh to eat?
5 Tsaroanay ny hazandrano izay nohaninay, maimaim-poana tany Egypta mbamin’ ny voatango sy tongolo samy hafa karazana.
We remember the fish that we ate in Egypt for nothing; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic;
6 Fa izao dia maina ny ainay: tsy misy na inona na inona eto imasonay afa-tsy ny mana ihany.
and now our soul is dried up: there is nothing at all but the manna before our eyes.
7 Ary ny mana dia toy ny voan-drafy, ary ny tarehiny dia tahaka ny tarehin’ ny bedola.
And the manna was as coriander seed, and its appearance as the appearance of bdellium.
8 Nandehandeha ny olona ka nanangona azy, dia nitoto azy tamin’ ny fikosoham-bary na tamin’ ny laona, ary nahandro azy tamin’ ny vilany, dia nanao mofo azy; ary ny fanandramana azy dia tahaka ny fanandramana mofo misy diloilo.
The people went about, and gathered it, and ground it with hand-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 oil-cakes.
9 Ary raha nilatsaka tamin’ ny toby ny ando nony alina, dia nilatsaka koa niaraka taminy ny mana.
And when the dew fell upon the camp by night, the manna fell upon it.
10 Ary Mosesy nandre ny olona nitomany tamin’ ny isam-pianakaviany, samy teo amin’ ny varavaran’ ny lainy avy; dia nirehitra fatratra ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah; ary tsy sitrak’ i Mosesy koa izany.
And Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, every one at the entrance of his tent; and the anger of Jehovah was kindled greatly; it was also evil in the eyes of Moses.
11 Dia hoy Mosesy tamin’ i Jehovah: Nahoana no dia nasianao ratsy ny mpanomponao? ary nahoana no tsy nahita fitia eo imasonao aho, ka nampitondrainao enta-mavesatra, dia ity firenena rehetra ity?
And Moses said to Jehovah, Why hast thou done evil to thy servant, and why have I not found favour in thine eyes, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?
12 Izaho va no torontoronina an’ ity firenena rehetra ity? ary izaho va no niteraka azy, no ilazanao hoe: Trotroinao izy, tahaka ny ray mpitaiza mitondra ny zaza minono, ho any amin’ ny tany izay nianiananao tamin’ ny razany homena azy?
Have I conceived all this people, have I brought them forth, that thou sayest to me, Carry them in thy bosom, as the nursing-father beareth the suckling, unto the land which thou didst swear unto their fathers?
13 Avy aiza no hahazoako hena homena ity firenena rehetra ity, no dia mitomany amiko izy manao hoe: Omeo hena izahay hohaninay?
Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh that we may eat!
14 Tsy zakako izaho irery ny mitondra ity firenena rehetra ity, fa mavesatra amiko loatra.
I am not able to bear all this people alone, for it is too heavy for me.
15 Koa raha izao no ataonao amiko, masìna Hianao, vonoy mihitsy aho, raha nahita fitia eo imasonao; fa aza avela hahita ny fahoriako aho.
And if thou deal thus with me, slay me, I pray thee, if I have found favour in thine eyes, that I may not behold my wretchedness.
16 Dia hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Manangòna fito-polo lahy amin’ ny loholon’ ny Isiraely ho etỳ amiko, dia izay fantatrao ho loholona amin’ ny fireneny sy mpifehy azy; ary ento miaraka aminao ho ao amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana izy.
And Jehovah said to Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and their officers; and take them to the tent of meeting, and they shall stand there with thee.
17 Dia hidina Aho ka hiteny aminao eo; ary Izaho haka amin’ ny Fanahy Izay ao aminao ka hametraka izany ao amin’ ireo, ary hiara-mitondra ity firenena ity aminao ireo, fa tsy ianao irery intsony no hitondra azy.
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, and thou shalt not bear it alone.
18 Koa lazao amin’ ny olona hoe: Manamasìna ny tenanareo ho amin’ ny ampitso, dia hihinan-kena ianareo; fa nitomany teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah ianareo ka nanao hoe: Enga anie ka hisy hanome hena hohaninay! fa soa no hitanay tany Egypta; dia homen’ i Jehovah hena ianareo, ka hohaninareo.
And unto the people shalt thou say, Hallow yourselves for to-morrow, and ye shall eat flesh; for ye have wept in the ears of Jehovah, saying, Who will give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt; and Jehovah will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.
19 Tsy indray andro no hihinananareo na indroa andro, na hadimiana, na hafoloana, na roa-polo andro aza,
Not one day shall ye eat, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days;
20 fa hatramin’ ny iray volana mipaka, dia mandra-pivoakany amin’ ny vavoronareo ka haharikoriko anareo; satria nolavinareo Jehovah, Izay eo aminareo, ka nitomany teo anatrehany ianareo nanao hoe: Nahoana re no nivoaka avy tany Egypta izahay?
[but] for a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it become loathsome unto you; because that ye have despised Jehovah who is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?
21 Dia hoy Mosesy: Ny olona izay itoerako dia lehilahy enina hetsy izay mahalia lalana; ary hoy ianao: Homeko hena izy mba hohaniny mandritra ny iray volana.
And Moses said, The people in whose midst I am are six hundred thousand footmen; and thou sayest, I will give them flesh that they may eat a whole month.
22 Moa ondry aman’ osy sy omby va no hovonoina ho azy hahavoky azy? sa ny hazandrano rehetra ao amin’ ny ranomasina no hangonina ho azy hahavoky azy?
Shall flocks and herds be slaughtered for them, to suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered for them, to suffice them?
23 Dia hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Nihafohy va ny tànan’ i Jehovah? ankehitriny dia ho hitanao na ho tanteraka aminao ny teniko, na tsia.
And Jehovah said to Moses, Hath Jehovah's hand become short? Now shalt thou see whether my word will come to pass unto thee or not.
24 Dia nivoaka Mosesy ka nilaza ny tenin’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny olona; dia nanangona fito-polo lahy tamin’ ny loholon’ ny firenena izy ka nampitoetra azy manodidina ny trano-lay.
And Moses went out and told the people the words of Jehovah; and he gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them round about the tent.
25 Ary nidina teo amin’ ny rahona Jehovah ka niteny taminy, dia nangalany ny Fanahy izay tao amin’ i Mosesy ka napetrany tao amin’ ny loholona fito-polo lahy; ary raha mbola nitoetra tao aminy ny Fanahy, dia naminany izy, nefa tsy nanao intsony.
And Jehovah came down in a cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the Spirit that was upon him, and put it upon the seventy men, the elders; and it came to pass, that when the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied, but they did not repeat [it].
26 Fa nisy roa lahy nijanona teo an-toby, Eldada no anaran’ ny anankiray, ary Medada no anaran’ ny anankiray; ary ny Fanahy nitoetra tao aminy; ary isan’ izay voasoratra izy roa lahy, nefa tsy mba nankeo amin’ ny trano-lay; dia naminany teo an-toby izy roa lahy.
And two men remained in the camp, the name of the one, Eldad, and the name of the other, Medad; and the Spirit rested upon them (and they were among them that were written, but they had not gone out to the tent); and they prophesied in the camp.
27 Ary nisy zatovo nihazakazaka, dia nilaza tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe: Eldada sy Medada maminany etsy an-toby.
And there ran a youth, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.
28 Dia namaly Josoa, zanak’ i Nona, izay nanompo an’ i Mosesy hatry ny fony tanora, ka nanao hoe: Ry Mosesy, tompoko, rarao izy roa lahy.
And Joshua the son of Nun, the attendant of Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them!
29 Fa hoy Mosesy taminy: Izaho va no ialonanao? enga anie ka ho mpaminany avokoa ny olon’ i Jehovah rehetra, ka halatsak’ i Jehovah aminy ny Fanahiny!
But Moses said to him, Enviest thou for my sake? would that all Jehovah's people were prophets, [and] that Jehovah would put his Spirit upon them!
30 Dia nankeo an-toby Mosesy sy ny loholon’ ny Isiraely.
And Moses withdrew into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
31 Ary nisy rivotra nivoaka avy tamin’ i Jehovah ka nitondra papelika avy tany amin’ ny ranomasina ary nampihahakahaka azy teny amin’ ny toby, ka tokony ho lalana indray andro manodidina ny toby no nisy azy, ary tokony ho roa hakiho ambonin’ ny tany izy.
And there went forth a wind from Jehovah, and drove quails from the sea, and cast them about the camp, about a day's journey on this side, and about a day's journey on the other side, round about the camp, and about two cubits above the earth.
32 Dia nitsangana ny olona nandritra izany andro izany sy nandritra ny alina sy ny ampitson’ iny koa ka nanangona ny papelika; ary izay kely fanangona no folo homera; ary nahahiny ho maina ireny manodidina ny toby.
And the people rose up all that day, and the whole night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails: he that gathered little gathered ten homers; and they spread them abroad for themselves round about the camp.
33 Fa raha mbola teo am-bavany ny hena ka tsy mbola lany, dia nirehitra tamin’ ny olona ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah, ary namely ny olony tamin’ ny kapoka mafy indrindra Izy.
The flesh was yet between their teeth, before it was chewed, when the wrath of Jehovah was kindled against the people, and Jehovah smote the people with a very great plague.
34 Ary ny anaran’ izany tany izany nataony hoe: Kibrota-hatava, satria teo no nandevenana ny olona izay liana.
And they called the name of that place Kibroth-hattaavah; because there they buried the people who lusted.
35 Ary niala tao Kibrota-hatava ny olona ka nifindra nankany Hazerota; dia nitoetra tany Hazerota izy.
From Kibroth-hattaavah the people journeyed to Hazeroth; and they were at Hazeroth.
