Nomery 11
1 Ie añe, le niñeoñeoñe hoe mpitoreo an-kasotriañe, an-dravembia’ Iehovà ondatio, aa ie jinanji’ Iehovà, le niviañe ty haviñera’e, naho nisolebotse am’ iareo ty afo’ Iehovà, namorototo ty añ’ olo’ i tobey.
Meanwhile, there arose a murmur among the people against the Lord, as if they were grief-stricken because of their labors. And when the Lord had heard it, he was angry. And when the fire of the Lord was enflamed against them, it devoured those who were at the extreme end of the camp.
2 Aa le nikaikaik’ amy Mosè ondatio naho nihalaly am’ Iehovà t’i Mosè vaho nakipeke i afoy.
And when the people had cried out to Moses, Moses prayed to the Lord, and the fire was consumed.
3 Aa le natao’e ty hoe Taberà i taney amy te niforehetse am’iareo ty afo’ Iehovà.
And he called the name of that place, ‘The Burning,’ because the fire of the Lord had burned against them.
4 Teo te nivariñe an-kasijý o piaroteñe am’iareoo; mbore nibabababa ka o ana’ Israeleo ami’ty hoe: Ia ty hanjotso hena ama’ay?
So then, the mix of common people, who had ascended with them, were enflamed with desire, and sitting and weeping, with the sons of Israel joining them, they said, “Who will give us flesh to eat?
5 Tiahi’ay o fiañe nikamae’ay tsy amam-bili’e e Mitsraime añeo naho ty kiseny, ty vazavo, ty foti-voly, ty tangolo vaho o tangolo-laio;
We remember the fish that we ate freely in Egypt; we call to mind the cucumbers, and melons, and leeks, and onions, and garlic.
6 fe mifoezapoezake henaneo; tsy ino ty aolom-pihaino’ay, naho tsy ty màne tiañ’ avao!
Our life is dry; our eyes look out to see nothing but manna.”
7 Nanahake voan’ ahepoty i maney fe nimena hoe vañemba.
Now the manna was like coriander seed, but with the color of bdellium.
8 Namory aze mbeo’ mbeo ondatio, le ke dinemodemo’e am-bato fandisañañe, he nilisane’e an-deoñe, naho nahandroeñe am-balàñe vaho namboareñe mofo-vonga’e; ty hafiri’e le hoe mofo natoñak’ ami’ty menake.
And the people wandered about, gathering it, and they crushed it with a millstone, or ground it with a mortar; then they boiled it in a pot, and made biscuits out of it, with a taste like bread made with oil.
9 Nivotrak’ amy tobey ty zono te haleñe le nindre nihintsañe ama’e i maney.
And when the dew descended in the night over the camp, the manna descended together with it.
10 Ie jinanji’ i Mosè ty fangoihoi’ ondatio, nanitsike o hasavereña’eo, songa lahilahy an-dalan-kiboho’e eo, le nisolebotse ty haviñera’ Iehovà; toe niboseke ka t’i Mosè.
And so, Moses heard the people weeping by their families, each one at the door of his tent. And the fury of the Lord was greatly enflamed. And to Moses also the matter seemed intolerable.
11 Aa le hoe t’i Mosè am’ Iehovà, Ino ty nanotria’o i mpitoro’oy? Le manao akore t’ie tsy nahaonim-pañisohañe am-pivazohoa’o, kanao nampijinia’o o kilanka’ ondaty iaby retiañe?
And so he said to the Lord: “Why have you afflicted your servant? Why do I not find favor before you? And why have you imposed the weight of this entire people upon me?
12 Izaho hao ty nampitsonkèreñe ondatio? Izaho hao ty rae’ iareo, kanao anoa’o ty hoe: Otroño añ’araña’o ao manahake ty fiotroña’ ty mpiatrak’ ajaja, pak’an-tane nifanta’o aman-droae’ iareo?
Could I have conceived this entire multitude, or have given birth to them, so that you might say to me: Carry them in your bosom, as a nursemaid usually carries a little infant, and bring them into the land, about which you have sworn to their fathers?
13 Aia ty hahatreavako hena hazotsoko am’ ondatio? Ami’ty fitoreova’ iareo ty hoe, Meo hena ho kamae’ay!
From where would I obtain the flesh to give to so great a multitude? They weep against me, saying, ‘Give us flesh, so that we may eat.’
14 Tsy leoko vavèñe ondaty retia, izaho raike, fa loho mavesatse amako.
I alone am unable to sustain this entire people, because it is too heavy for me.
15 Aa naho zao ty anoa’o ahy le ehe avetraho am-pañohofan-doza, naho toe nahatrea fañisohañe am-pivazohoa’o, fa ko apo’o ho treako o faloviloviakoo!
But if it seems to you otherwise, I beg you to put me to death, and so may I find grace in your eyes, lest I be afflicted with such evils.”
16 Aa le hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè: Anontoño ondaty fitompolo amo roandria’ Israeleo, ze fohi’o te mpiaolo’ ondatio naho mpameleke iareo; le ampihovao mb’ an-kibohom-pamantañam-beo, hitrao-pijohañe ama’o.
And the Lord said to Moses: “Gather to me seventy men from the elders of Israel, whom you know to be elders, as well as teachers, of the people. And you shall lead them to the door of the tabernacle of the covenant, and you shall cause them to stand there with you,
17 Le hizotso mb’eo iraho hifanaontsy ama’o, le handivako am’ iereo i Arofo ama’oy vaho hitrao-pivave ama’o ondatio, soa te tsy ihe avao ty hivave.
so that I may descend and speak to you. And I will take from your spirit, and I will deliver it to them, so that, with you, they may sustain the burden of the people, and so that you will not be weighed down alone.
18 Le ano ty hoe amy màroy, Miefera vatañe ho ami’ ty hamaray, fa hikama hena amy niroveta’ areo am-pijanjiña’ Iehovà ami’ty hoe, Ia ty hanjotso hena ama’ay? Ie nierañerañe’ e Mitsraime añe. Aa le hanjotsoa’ Iehovà hena, vaho hikama nahareo.
You shall also say to the people: Be sanctified. Tomorrow you will eat flesh. For I have heard you say: ‘Who will give us flesh to eat? It was well with us in Egypt.’ So then, may the Lord give you flesh. And you will eat,
19 Tsy indraik’ andro ty hikama’areo, tsy roe andro, tsy lime andro, tsy folo andro, tsy roapolo andro,
not for one day, nor for two, nor for five, nor for ten, nor even for twenty,
20 fa volañe raike, ampara’ te miakatse am-piantsona’ areo vaho hampangorý anahareo, amy te nisirikae’ areo t’Iehovà añivo’ areo ao, ie nangololoike añatrefa’e ami’ty hoe, Ino ty niavotan-tika amy Mitsraime?
but for up to a month of days, until it exits from your nostrils, and until it turns into nausea for you, because you have slipped away from the Lord, who is in your midst, and because you have wept before him, saying: ‘Why did we go forth out of Egypt?’”
21 Aa hoe t’i Mosè, Lahin-defo enen-ketse o mañariseho ahio; Ihe manao amako ty hoe, Hanjotsoako hena hikama’ iareo volañe raike.
And Moses said: “There are six hundred thousand footmen of this people, and yet you say, ‘I will give them flesh to eat for a whole month.’
22 Handentàñe añondry naho añombe hao, hahatsake iareo? Ke hanontonañe ze hene fiañe an-driak’ ao?
Could a multitude of sheep and oxen be slain, so that there would be enough food? Or will the fishes of the sea be gathered together, in order to satisfy them?”
23 Le hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè, Nitomoreñe hao ty fità’ Iehovà? Mbe ho oni’o aniany ke ho tafetetse i rehakoy ke tsie.
And the Lord answered him: “Can the hand of the Lord be ineffective? Soon now, you shall see whether my word will be fulfilled in this work.”
24 Aa le niakatse añe t’i Mosè naho sinaontsi’e am’ iereo i tsara’ Iehovày, le natonto’e t’indaty fitompolo amo roandria’ ondatio vaho najado’e añariari’ i kivohoy.
And so, Moses went and explained the words of the Lord to the people. Gathering together seventy men from the elders of Israel, he caused them to stand around the tabernacle.
25 Le nizotso amy rahoñey t’Iehovà nangalak’ amy Arofo ama’ey vaho natolo’e amy roandriañe fitompolo rey; ie nivotraha’ i Arofoy le nitoky, fe tsy ho nainai’e.
And the Lord descended in a cloud, and he spoke to him, taking from the Spirit which was in Moses, and giving to the seventy men. And when the Spirit had rested in them, they prophesied; nor did they cease afterwards.
26 Toe mbe nitambatse an-tobe ao t’indaty roe ama’e: i Eldade ty tahina ty raike naho i Medade ty tahina’ ty raike, vaho nivotrak’ am’iereo i Arofoy. Toe sinokitse iereo fe tsy nañavelo mb’ amy kivohoy mb’eo, fa nitoky an-tobe ao.
Now there had remained in the camp two of the men, of whom one was called Eldad, and the other Medad, upon whom the Spirit rested; for they also had been enrolled, but they did not go forth to the tabernacle.
27 Le nihitrihitry mb’amy Mosè mb’eo ty ajalahy nitalily ama’e ty hoe: Mitoky an-tobe ao t’i Eldade naho i Medade.
And when they were prophesying in the camp, a boy ran and reported to Moses, saying: “Eldad and Medad prophesy in the camp.”
28 Aa le hoe ty natoi’ Iehosoa ana’ i None, mpiamy Mosè ampara’ ty nahaajalahy aze: O talèko, rarao iereo!
Promptly, Joshua the son of Nun, the minister of Moses and chosen from many, said: “My lord Moses, prohibit them.”
29 Le hoe t’i Mosè ama’e, Mamarahy ahy v-iheo? Ee te songa nimpitoky ondati’ Iehovào, naho sindre nampivotraha’ Iehovà i Arofo’ey!
But he said, “Why are you jealous on my behalf? Who decides that any of the people may prophesy and that God may give to them his Spirit?”
30 Aa le nimpoly mb’an-tobe mb’eo t’i Mosè naho o roandria’ Israeleo.
And Moses returned, with those greater by birth of Israel, into the camp.
31 Aa le boak’ am’ Iehovà ty tioke ninday hatrakatrake hirik’ an-driak’ añe, le nampipoha’e marine i tobey ie nahatakatse lia’ andro raike mb’atia vaho lia’andro raike mb’eroa añariari’ i tobey; ni-roe kiho ambone’ i taney varañe ty fitoabo’e.
Then a wind, going out from the Lord and moving forcefully across the sea, brought quails and cast them into the camp, across a distance of one day’s journey, in every part of the camp all around, and they flew in the air two cubits high above the ground.
32 Aa le nifanehak’ amy àndroy naho amy haleñey naho amy loakandroy ondatio nijohañe ey nanontoñe o hatrakatrakeo le ze nanontoñe tsy ampe mbe nahatsake folo homere; vaho songa nandafike ty aze marine i tobey.
Therefore, the people, rising up, gathered quails all that day and night, and the next day; he who did least well gathered ten homers. And they dried them throughout the camp.
33 Fe mbe añivom-pamotsi’e ao i henay ie mbe tsy nitotoe’e, le nisolebotse am’ iereo ty haviñera’ Iehovà vaho pinao’ Iehovà ami’ty angorosy loza.
The flesh was still between their teeth, neither had this kind of food ceased, and behold, the fury of the Lord was provoked against the people, and he struck them with an exceedingly great scourge.
34 Aa le natao’e Kibrate Hata’avà i taney amy te eo ty nandentehañe ondaty aman-kadrao.
And that place was called, ‘The Graves of Lust.’ For there, they buried the people who had desired.
35 Boake Kibrate Hata’avà ao ondatio ro nangovovòke imb’e Katserote mb’eo vaho nitobe e Katserote añe.
Then, departing from the Graves of Lust, they arrived in Hazeroth, and they stayed there.
