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.
It wasn't long before the people started to complain about how much they were suffering. When the Lord heard what they were saying, he became angry. Fire from the Lord burned them, destroying some on the edge of the camp.
2 Aa le nikaikaik’ amy Mosè ondatio naho nihalaly am’ Iehovà t’i Mosè vaho nakipeke i afoy.
The people cried to Moses for help. He prayed to the Lord and the fire subsided.
3 Aa le natao’e ty hoe Taberà i taney amy te niforehetse am’iareo ty afo’ Iehovà.
So that place was named Taberah, because the fire from the Lord burned 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?
A group of troublemakers among them had such intense food cravings they affected the Israelites who started crying again, asking “Who's going to get us some meat 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 think back to all the fish we ate in Egypt that didn't cost us anything, as well as the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions, and garlic.
6 fe mifoezapoezake henaneo; tsy ino ty aolom-pihaino’ay, naho tsy ty màne tiañ’ avao!
We're fading away here! The only thing we ever see is this manna!”
7 Nanahake voan’ ahepoty i maney fe nimena hoe vañemba.
Manna looked like coriander seeds, light in color like gum resin.
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.
The people would go out and collect it, grind it up in a mill or crush it in a mortar. Then they would boil it in a pot and make it into flatbread. It tasted like pastries made with the best olive oil.
9 Nivotrak’ amy tobey ty zono te haleñe le nindre nihintsañe ama’e i maney.
When the dew came down on the camp at night the manna would come down 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.
Moses heard all the families crying at the entrance to their tents. The Lord became very angry, and Moses was also upset.
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?
He asked the Lord, “Why have you made things so tough for me, your servant? Why are you so unhappy with me that you have placed on me the heavy responsibility for all these people?
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?
Are they my children? Did I give birth to them, so you could tell me, ‘Hold them close to your chest like a nurse carrying a baby’ and take them to the land you promised to give to their forefathers?
13 Aia ty hahatreavako hena hazotsoko am’ ondatio? Ami’ty fitoreova’ iareo ty hoe, Meo hena ho kamae’ay!
Where am I supposed to get meat for all of them? They keep on complaining to me, ‘Get us some meat to eat!’
14 Tsy leoko vavèñe ondaty retia, izaho raike, fa loho mavesatse amako.
I can't go on carrying all these people by myself—it's just too much.
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!
If this is the way you're going to treat me, then please just kill me now so I don't have to face how depressed I've become. Please grant me this one request.”
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.
The Lord told Moses, “Bring before me seventy Israelite elders who you know are repected as leaders by the people Take them to the Tent of Meeting. They will 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.
I will come down and talk with you there. I will take some of the Spirit you have and give it to them. They will take some of the responsibility for the people so you won't have to bear it 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.
Tell the people: Purify yourselves, for tomorrow you'll have meat to eat, because you were complaining and the Lord heard you saying, ‘Who's going to get us some meat to eat? We were better off in Egypt!’ So the Lord is going to provide you with meat to eat.
19 Tsy indraik’ andro ty hikama’areo, tsy roe andro, tsy lime andro, tsy folo andro, tsy roapolo andro,
You're going to eat it, not for just a day or two, and not for five or ten or twenty days.
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?
You're going to eat it for a whole month until it makes you vomit and it comes out through your nostrils, because you have rejected the Lord who is right here with you, complaining to him by saying, ‘Why on earth did we ever leave 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.
But Moses replied, “Here I am with 600,000 people and you're telling me, ‘I'm going to give them meat and they'll eat it for a month’?
22 Handentàñe añondry naho añombe hao, hahatsake iareo? Ke hanontonañe ze hene fiañe an-driak’ ao?
Even if all our flocks and herds were slaughtered, would that be enough for them? Even if all the fish in the sea were caught, would that be enough for 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.
“Doesn't the Lord have the power to do that?” the Lord responded. “Now you're going to find out whether what I've said will happen or not!”
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.
Moses went and shared with the people what the Lord said. He summoned seventy elders of the people and had them stand around the tent.
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.
Then the Lord came down and talked to him. The Lord took some of the Spirit Moses had and gave it to them. They prophesied, but this didn't ever happen again.
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.
However, two men named Eldad and Medad had stayed behind in the camp. The Spirit came on them too. (They had been put on the list of the seventy elders, but they hadn't gone to the tent. But they prophesied where they were in the camp anyway.)
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.
A young lad ran and told Moses, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.”
28 Aa le hoe ty natoi’ Iehosoa ana’ i None, mpiamy Mosè ampara’ ty nahaajalahy aze: O talèko, rarao iereo!
Joshua, son of Nun, who had been Moses' assistant since he was young, reacted, saying, “Moses, my lord, you have to stop 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!
“Are you jealous for my reputation?” Moses replied. “I wish that every one of the Lord's people were prophets and that the Lord would give his Spirit to all of them!”
30 Aa le nimpoly mb’an-tobe mb’eo t’i Mosè naho o roandria’ Israeleo.
Then Moses went back to the camp with the elders of Israel.
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.
The Lord sent a wind that blew quail in from the sea and deposited them near the camp. They covered the ground to a depth of about two cubits and extended for a day's journey in every direction from the camp.
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.
All through that day and night, and all through the next day, the people went on collecting the quail. Everyone collected at least ten homers, and they spread them out to dry all around 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.
But while the people were still biting into the meat, before they even chewed it down, the Lord showed his burning anger against them, killing some of them with a severe disease.
34 Aa le natao’e Kibrate Hata’avà i taney amy te eo ty nandentehañe ondaty aman-kadrao.
They named that place Kibroth-hattaavah, because that was where they buried the people who had these intense food cravings.
35 Boake Kibrate Hata’avà ao ondatio ro nangovovòke imb’e Katserote mb’eo vaho nitobe e Katserote añe.
Then they moved on from Kibroth-hattaavah to Hazeroth, where they stayed for some time.
