Nomery 11

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 were giving themselves up to murmuring, it was grievous in the ears of Yahweh, —so Yahweh hearkened, and kindled was his anger, and the fire of Yahweh burned among them, and consumed the uttermost part of the camp.

2 Dia nitaraina tamin’ i Mosesy ny olona; ary Mosesy nifona tamin’ i Jehovah, dia maty ny afo.

Then did the people make outcry unto Moses, —and Moses prayed unto Yahweh, and the fire sank down.

3 Ary ny anaran’ izany tany izany dia nataony hoe Tabera, satria nandoro azy ny afon’ i Jehovah.

So he called the name of that place, Taberah ["A Burning"] because there burned among them the fire of Yahweh.

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!

Moreover the mixed multitude that was in their midst concealed not their lusting, —and so even the sons of Israel, fell away and wept, and said: Who will grant us to eat flesh?

5 Tsaroanay ny hazandrano izay nohaninay, maimaim-poana tany Egypta mbamin’ ny voatango sy tongolo samy hafa karazana.

We remember the fish that we did eat in Egypt, without money, —the cucumbers, and the water-melons, and the leeks and the onions, and the garlick.

6 Fa izao dia maina ny ainay: tsy misy na inona na inona eto imasonay afa-tsy ny mana ihany.

But, now, our soul is dried up, there is nothing at all, —unless, unto the manna, [we turn] our eyes.

7 Ary ny mana dia toy ny voan-drafy, ary ny tarehiny dia tahaka ny tarehin’ ny bedola.

Now, the manna, was like coriander seed, and the appearance thereof like 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 used to go about and pick it up, and grind it with a pair of mill-stones, or pound it in a mortar, and boil it in a pot, and make it into round cakes, —then was the taste thereof like the taste of a sweet cake made with oil.

9 Ary raha nilatsaka tamin’ ny toby ny ando nony alina, dia nilatsaka koa niaraka taminy ny mana.

When the dew came down upon the camp by night, the manna came down thereupon.

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.

So then Moses heard the people weeping by their families, every one at the entrance of his tent, —then kindled the anger of Yahweh fiercely, and in the eyes of Moses, it was grievous.

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 unto Yahweh—Wherefore hast thou let thy servant come to grief, and wherefore have I not found favour in thine eyes, —that thou shouldest lay 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?

Did, I, conceive all this people, or, I, beget them, —that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father carrieth a suckling, unto the soil 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 to all this people, —for they keep weeping by me saying, Oh give us flesh that we may eat!

14 Tsy zakako izaho irery ny mitondra ity firenena rehetra ity, fa mavesatra amiko loatra.

Unable, am, I, by myself, to carry all this people, —for they are 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.

But if, in this way, thou art going to deal with me, slay me, I beseech thee, slay, if I have found favour in thine eyes, —and let me not see my grief,

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.

Then said Yahweh unto Moses—Gather thou unto me seventy men, from among the elders of Israel, of whom thou knowest that they are elders of the people and their overseers, —then shalt thou take them unto the tent of meeting, and they shall station themselves 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.

Then will I come down, and speak with thee there, and will take of the spirit that is upon thee and put upon them, —and they shall carry, with thee, the burden of the people, and, thou, shalt not carry it by thyself.

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 by to-morrow, and ye shall eat flesh, for ye have wept in the ears of Yahweh saying—Who will grant us to eat flesh? for it was well with us in Egypt, —so then Yahweh 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 nor 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?

for a month of days until it cometh forth out of your nostrils, so shall it become to you a loathsome thing, —because ye have refused Yahweh who is in your midst, and have wept before him, saying, Wherefore now 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, Six hundred thousand footmen, are the people in whose midst am, I, yet thou hast said—Flesh, will I give unto them, and they shall eat for a month of days.

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 the flocks and herds, be slaughtered for them, that it may suffice for them? Shall all the fishes of the sea, be gathered together unto them that it may suffice for 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.

Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Shall the hand of Yahweh, fail? Now, shalt thou see whether my word 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 forth and spake unto the people the words of Yahweh, —and gathered together seventy men from among the elders of the people, and caused them to stand 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.

Then Yahweh came down, in the cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave unto the seventy men—the elders. And it came to pass that when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and then did so no more.

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.

Now there were two men left behind in the camp—the name of the one, was Eldad and the name of the other, Medad, so then the spirit, rested on them—they, being among them who were written, though they had not gone forth unto the tent, —but 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 young man, 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.

Then responded Joshua son of Nun the attendant of Moses from his youth, 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 unto him, Art, thou, jealous for, me? Oh would that, all the people of Yahweh, were prophets! Yea let Yahweh put his spirit upon them!

30 Dia nankeo an-toby Mosesy sy ny loholon’ ny Isiraely.

Then was Moses received back 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.

Now, a wind, had sprung up, from Yahweh, and cut off quails from the sea, and let them lie over the camp—as it were a days journey here and a days journey there, round about the camp, —and as it were two cubits on the face of the land.

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 all the night and all the next day, and gathered the quails, he that did least, gathered ten homers, —and they spread them out for themselves spreading away, 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, not yet chewed, —when the anger of Yahweh, had kindled upon the people, and Yahweh smote the people, with an exceeding great plague.

34 Ary ny anaran’ izany tany izany nataony hoe: Kibrota-hatava, satria teo no nandevenana ny olona izay liana.

And the name of that place was called Kibroth-hattaavah—because there, they buried the people who had lusted,

35 Ary niala tao Kibrota-hatava ny olona ka nifindra nankany Hazerota; dia nitoetra tany Hazerota izy.

From Kibroth-hattaavah, the people set forward to Hazeroth, —and they remained in Hazeroth.
