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.
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 Sabni Museetti iyye; Museen immoo Waaqayyoon kadhatee ibiddi sun dhaame.
The people cried to Moses for help. He prayed to the Lord and the fire subsided.
3 Sababii ibiddi Waaqayyo biraa gad buʼee gidduu isaaniitti bobaʼeef, iddoon sun “Tabeeraa” jedhamee waamame.
So that place was named Taberah, because the fire from the Lord burned them.
4 Sabni wal makaan isaan wajjin tures nyaata biraa dharraʼe; Israaʼeloonni ammas akkana jedhanii booʼuu jalqaban; “Nu utuu foon nyaannu argannee!
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 Nu biyya Gibxi keessatti qurxummii toluma nyaanne; akkasumas dabaaqula, habaabii, goodarree, qullubbii diimaa fi qullubbii adii nyaanne sana ni yaadanna.
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 Amma garuu fedhiin nyaataa nurraa badeera; mannaa kana malees waan tokko illee hin arginu!”
We're fading away here! The only thing we ever see is this manna!”
7 Mannaan sun akka sanyii dinbilaalaa taʼee bifti isaa haphee fakkaata ture.
Manna looked like coriander seeds, light in color like 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 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 Galgala yommuu fixeensi qubata irra buʼetti mannaan sunis gad buʼe.
When the dew came down on the camp at night the manna would come down with it.
10 Museen utuu namoonni maatii hundaa balbala dunkaana ofii isaa duratti booʼanuu dhagaʼe. Waaqayyos akka malee aare; Museen immoo ni dhiphate.
Moses heard all the families crying at the entrance to their tents. The Lord became very angry, and Moses was also upset.
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?
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 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?
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 Ani saba kana hundaaf foon eessaan argadha? Isaan, ‘Foon nyaannu nuu kenni!’ jedhanii natti booʼu.
Where am I supposed to get meat for all of them? They keep on complaining to me, ‘Get us some meat to eat!’
14 Ani kophaa koo saba kana hunda baachuu hin dandaʼu; baʼaan kun akka malee natti ulfaata.
I can't go on carrying all these people by myself—it's just too much.
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 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 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.
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 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.
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 “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.
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 Isin hamma guyyaa tokkoo, yookaan lamaa, yookaan shanii, kudhanii, yookaan digdamaa qofa hin nyaattan;
You're going to eat it, not for just a day or two, and not 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.’”
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 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 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 Utuma bushaayee fi karri loonii isaaniif qalamanii iyyuu gaʼaa laata? Utuma qurxummiin galaana keessaa hundi isaanii qabamee iyyuu gaʼaa laata?”
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 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Harki Waaqayyoo gabaabaadhaa? Ati akka wanni ani siin jedhu siif guutamuu fi akka siif hin guutamne amma ni argita.”
“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 Museen dhaqee waan Waaqayyo jedhe sana sabatti hime. Innis saba sana keessaa maanguddoota torbaatama walitti qabee akka isaan naannoo dunkaanaa dhadhaabatan godhe.
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 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 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 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.
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 Dargaggeessi tokko fiigee dhaqee, “Eldaadii fi Meedaad raajii dubbachuutti jiru” jedhee Museetti hime.
A young lad ran and told 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, who had been Moses' assistant since he was young, reacted, saying, “Moses, my lord, you have to 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!”
“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 Ergasiis Musee fi maanguddoonni Israaʼel gara qubataatti deebiʼan.
Then Moses went back to the camp 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.
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 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 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 Garuu utuma foon sun amma illee gidduu ilkaan isaanii jiruu, utuu hin alanfatin Waaqayyo isaanitti aaree dhaʼicha hamaadhaan isaan dhaʼe.
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 Sababii isaan namoota nyaata biraa dharraʼan achitti awwaalaniif maqaan iddoo sanaa, “Qiibrooti Haataaʼabaa” jedhame.
They named that place Kibroth-hattaavah, because that was where they buried the people who had these intense food cravings.
35 Sabni sunis Qiibrooti Haataaʼabaadhaa kaʼee gara Haxerooti dhaqee achi jiraate.
Then they moved on from Kibroth-hattaavah to Hazeroth, where they stayed for some time.
