Lakkoobsa 11
1 Sabni sun utuma Waaqayyo isa dhagaʼuu waaʼee rakkina isaa guungume; innis yommuu waan kana dhagaʼetti ni aare. Kana irratti ibiddi Waaqayyoo isaan gidduutti bobaʼee qarqara qubata isaanii gube.
Soon the people began to complain about their hardship in the hearing of the LORD, and when He heard them, His anger was kindled, and fire from the LORD blazed among them and consumed the outskirts of the camp.
2 Sabni Museetti iyye; Museen immoo Waaqayyoon kadhatee ibiddi sun dhaame.
And the people cried out to Moses, and he prayed to the LORD, and the fire died down.
3 Sababii ibiddi Waaqayyo biraa gad buʼee gidduu isaaniitti bobaʼeef, iddoon sun “Tabeeraa” jedhamee waamame.
So that place was called Taberah, because the fire of the LORD had burned among them.
4 Sabni wal makaan isaan wajjin tures nyaata biraa dharraʼe; Israaʼeloonni ammas akkana jedhanii booʼuu jalqaban; “Nu utuu foon nyaannu argannee!
Meanwhile, the rabble among them had a strong craving for other food, and again the Israelites wept and said, “Who will feed us meat?
5 Nu biyya Gibxi keessatti qurxummii toluma nyaanne; akkasumas dabaaqula, habaabii, goodarree, qullubbii diimaa fi qullubbii adii nyaanne sana ni yaadanna.
We remember the fish we ate freely in Egypt, along with the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions, and garlic.
6 Amma garuu fedhiin nyaataa nurraa badeera; mannaa kana malees waan tokko illee hin arginu!”
But now our appetite is gone; there is nothing to see but this manna!”
7 Mannaan sun akka sanyii dinbilaalaa taʼee bifti isaa haphee fakkaata ture.
Now the manna resembled coriander seed, and its appearance was like that of gum resin.
8 Namoonnis mannaa sana nanaannaʼanii walitti qabanii dhagaa daakuutti daakachaa yookaan mooyyeetti tumachaa turan. Isaanis mannaa sana okkoteetti affeelu yookaan maxinoo isaa tolfatu turan. Innis akka waan zayitii ejersaatiin qopheeffameetti miʼaawa ture.
The people walked around and gathered it, ground it on a handmill or crushed it in a mortar, then boiled it in a cooking pot or shaped it into cakes. It tasted like pastry baked with fine oil.
9 Galgala yommuu fixeensi qubata irra buʼetti mannaan sunis gad buʼe.
When the dew fell on the camp at night, the manna would fall with it.
10 Museen utuu namoonni maatii hundaa balbala dunkaana ofii isaa duratti booʼanuu dhagaʼe. Waaqayyos akka malee aare; Museen immoo ni dhiphate.
Then Moses heard the people of family after family weeping at the entrances to their tents, and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly, and Moses was also displeased.
11 Innis akkana jedhee Waaqayyoon gaafate; “Ati maaliif dhiphina kana garbicha keetti fidde? Ati kan baʼaa saba kanaa hunda narra keesse ani maal balleessee si gaddisiiseeti?
So Moses asked the LORD, “Why have You brought this trouble on Your servant? Why have I not found favor in Your sight, that You have laid upon me the burden of all these people?
12 Saba kana hunda anatu ulfaaʼee? Anatu isaan daʼee? Ati maaliif akka ani akkuma guddiftuun daaʼima baattutti gara biyya ati abbootii isaaniitiif kakuudhaan waadaa galteetti irree kootti baadhee isaan geessuudhaaf na ajajja?
Did I conceive all these people? Did I give them birth, so that You should tell me, ‘Carry them in your bosom, as a nurse carries an infant,’ to the land that You swore to give their fathers?
13 Ani saba kana hundaaf foon eessaan argadha? Isaan, ‘Foon nyaannu nuu kenni!’ jedhanii natti booʼu.
Where can I get meat for all these people? For they keep crying out to me, ‘Give us meat to eat!’
14 Ani kophaa koo saba kana hunda baachuu hin dandaʼu; baʼaan kun akka malee natti ulfaata.
I cannot carry all these people by myself; it is too burdensome for me.
15 Ati yoo akkana na goota taʼe, yoo ani fuula kee duratti fudhatama argadhee jiraadhe, maaloo ammuma na ajjeesi; akka ani gidiraa natti dhufu argus na hin godhin.”
If this is how You are going to treat me, please kill me right now—if I have found favor in Your eyes—and let me not see my own wretchedness.”
16 Waaqayyos Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Maanguddoota Israaʼel keessaa nama torbaatama kanneen hooggantootaa fi qondaaltota sabaa taʼuu isaanii beektu naa fidi. Akka isaan gara dunkaana wal gaʼii dhufanii si wajjin achi dhadhaabatan godhi.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Bring Me seventy of the elders of Israel known to you as leaders and officers of the people. Bring them to the Tent of Meeting and have them stand there with you.
17 Ani gad buʼee achitti si wajjin nan dubbadha; Hafuura sirra jiru irraas fuudhee isaan irra nan kaaʼa; isaanis akka ati kophaa kee baʼaa sana hin baanneef baʼaa saba sanaa si wajjin baatu.
And I will come down and speak with you there, and I will take some of the Spirit that is on you and put that Spirit on them. They will help you bear the burden of the people, so that you do not have to bear it by yourself.
18 “Saba kanaan akkana jedhi: ‘Isin bori foon nyaattuutii of qulqulleessaa qophaaʼaa. Waaqayyo yeroo isin, “Nu utuu foonuma nyaannu argannee! Yeroo nu biyya Gibxi keessa jirru nuu wayya ture!” jettanii boossan dhagaʼeeraatii. Waaqayyo amma foon isinii kenna; isinis ni nyaattu.
And say to the people: Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, and you will eat meat, because you have cried out in the hearing of the LORD, saying: ‘Who will feed us meat? For we were better off in Egypt!’ Therefore the LORD will give you meat, and you will eat.
19 Isin hamma guyyaa tokkoo, yookaan lamaa, yookaan shanii, kudhanii, yookaan digdamaa qofa hin nyaattan;
You will eat it not for one or two days, nor for five or ten or twenty days,
20 garuu jiʼa tokko guutuu hamma funyaaniin isin baʼutti, hamma nuffitanittis nyaattu; isin Waaqayyo gidduu keessan jiru sana diddanii, “Nu maaliif biyya Gibxi keessaa baane?” jettanii fuula isaa duratti boossanii turtaniitii.’”
but for a whole month—until it comes out of your nostrils and makes you nauseous—because you have rejected the LORD, who is among you, and have cried out before Him, saying, ‘Why did we ever leave Egypt?’”
21 Museen garuu akkana jedhe; “Kunoo ani namoota lafoo kuma dhibba jaʼa gidduun jira; ati immoo, ‘Ani foon isaan jiʼa guutuu nyaatan kennaaf!’ jetta.
But Moses replied, “Here I am among 600,000 men on foot, yet You say, ‘I will give them meat, and they will eat for a month.’
22 Utuma bushaayee fi karri loonii isaaniif qalamanii iyyuu gaʼaa laata? Utuma qurxummiin galaana keessaa hundi isaanii qabamee iyyuu gaʼaa laata?”
If all our flocks and herds were slaughtered for them, would they have enough? Or if all the fish in the sea were caught for them, would they have enough?”
23 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Harki Waaqayyoo gabaabaadhaa? Ati akka wanni ani siin jedhu siif guutamuu fi akka siif hin guutamne amma ni argita.”
The LORD answered Moses, “Is the LORD’s arm too short? Now you will see whether or not My word will come to pass.”
24 Museen dhaqee waan Waaqayyo jedhe sana sabatti hime. Innis saba sana keessaa maanguddoota torbaatama walitti qabee akka isaan naannoo dunkaanaa dhadhaabatan godhe.
So Moses went out and relayed to the people the words of the LORD, and he gathered seventy of the elders of the people and had them stand around the tent.
25 Ergasiis Waaqayyo duumessaan gad buʼee isatti dubbate; Hafuura isa irra jirus fuudhee maanguddoota torbaatamman sana irra buuse. Isaanis yeroo Hafuurri sun isaan irra boqotetti raajii dubbatan; ergasii immoo deebiʼanii raajii sana hin dubbanne.
Then the LORD came down in the cloud and spoke to him, and He took some of the Spirit that was on Moses and placed that Spirit on the seventy elders. As the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied—but they never did so again.
26 Taʼu illee namoonni lama kanneen maqaan isaanii Eldaadii fi Meedaad jedhaman qubata keessatti hafanii turan. Isaanis maanguddoota sana keessatti galmeeffamanii turan malee gad baʼanii gara dunkaanaa hin dhaqne ture. Hafuurri immoo isaan irra illee buʼe; isaanis qubata keessatti raajii dubbatan.
Two men, however, had remained in the camp—one named Eldad and the other Medad—and the Spirit rested on them. They were among those listed, but they had not gone out to the tent, and they prophesied in the camp.
27 Dargaggeessi tokko fiigee dhaqee, “Eldaadii fi Meedaad raajii dubbachuutti jiru” jedhee Museetti hime.
A young man ran and reported to Moses, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.”
28 Iyyaasuun ilmi Nuuni kan ijoollummaa ofiitii jalqabee gargaartuu Musee ture sun kaʼee, “Yaa Musee, yaa gooftaa ko, isaan dhowwi!” jedhee dubbate.
Joshua son of Nun, the attendant to Moses since youth, spoke up and said, “Moses, my lord, stop them!”
29 Museen garuu akkana jedhee deebise; “Ati anaaf hinaaftaa? Ani utuu sabni Waaqayyoo hundinuu raajota taʼanii Waaqayyos Hafuura isaa isaan irra kaaʼee nan hawwa!”
But Moses replied, “Are you jealous on my account? I wish that all the LORD’s people were prophets and that the LORD would place His Spirit on them!”
30 Ergasiis Musee fi maanguddoonni Israaʼel gara qubataatti deebiʼan.
Then Moses returned to the camp, along with the elders of Israel.
31 Bubbeen tokkos Waaqayyo biraa baʼee galaana keessaa dimbiriqqee gara qubataatti oofe. Bubbeen sunis dimbiriqqee sana naannoo qubata sanaatti gama hundaan hamma deemsa guyyaa tokkoo fagaatu harcaasee hamma dhundhuma lamaa oli tuule.
Now a wind sent by the LORD came up, drove in quail from the sea, and brought them near the camp, about two cubits above the surface of the ground, for a day’s journey in every direction around the camp.
32 Guyyaa sana guutuu fi halkan sana guutuu, guyyaa itti aanu guutuus sabni sun gad baʼee dimbiriqqee sana walitti qabate; isaan keessaas namni homeerii kudhanii gad walitti qabate hin turre. Ergasii dimbiriqqee sana naannoo qubata sanaa afatan.
All that day and night, and all the next day, the people stayed up gathering the quail. No one gathered less than ten homers, and they spread them out all around the camp.
33 Garuu utuma foon sun amma illee gidduu ilkaan isaanii jiruu, utuu hin alanfatin Waaqayyo isaanitti aaree dhaʼicha hamaadhaan isaan dhaʼe.
But while the meat was still between their teeth, before it was chewed, the anger of the LORD burned against the people, and the LORD struck them with a severe plague.
34 Sababii isaan namoota nyaata biraa dharraʼan achitti awwaalaniif maqaan iddoo sanaa, “Qiibrooti Haataaʼabaa” jedhame.
So they called that place Kibroth-hattaavah, because there they buried the people who had craved other food.
35 Sabni sunis Qiibrooti Haataaʼabaadhaa kaʼee gara Haxerooti dhaqee achi jiraate.
From Kibroth-hattaavah the people moved on to Hazeroth, where they remained for some time.
