< Números 11 >

1 E aconteceu que, queixando-se o povo, era mal aos ouvidos do Senhor; porque o Senhor ouviu-o, e a sua ira se accendeu, e o fogo do Senhor ardeu entre elles, e consumiu os que estavam na ultima parte do arraial.
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 Então o povo clamou a Moysés, e Moysés orou ao Senhor, e o fogo se apagou.
And when the people had cried out to Moses, Moses prayed to the Lord, and the fire was consumed.
3 Pelo que chamou aquelle logar Tabera, porquanto o fogo do Senhor se accendera entre elles.
And he called the name of that place, ‘The Burning,’ because the fire of the Lord had burned against them.
4 E o vulgo, que estava no meio d'elles, veiu a ter grande desejo: pelo que os filhos d'Israel tornaram a chorar, e disseram: Quem nos dará carne a comer?
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 Lembramo-nos dos peixes que no Egypto comiamos de graça; e dos pepinos, e dos melões, e dos pórros, e das cebolas, e dos alhos.
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 Mas agora a nossa alma se secca; coisa nenhuma ha senão este manná diante dos nossos olhos.
Our life is dry; our eyes look out to see nothing but manna.”
7 E era o manná como semente de coentro, e a sua côr como a côr de bedelio.
Now the manna was like coriander seed, but with the color of bdellium.
8 Espalhava-se o povo, e o colhia, e em moinhos o moia, ou n'um gral o pizava, e em panellas o cozia, e d'elle fazia bolos: e o seu sabor era como o sabor d'azeite fresco.
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 E, quando o orvalho descia de noite sobre o arraial, o manná descia sobre elle.
And when the dew descended in the night over the camp, the manna descended together with it.
10 Então Moysés ouviu chorar o povo pelas suas familias, cada qual á porta da sua tenda: e a ira do Senhor grandemente se accendeu, e pareceu mal aos olhos de Moysés.
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 E disse Moysés ao Senhor: Porque fizeste mal a teu servo, e porque não achei graça aos teus olhos; que pozesses sobre mim o cargo de todo este povo?
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 Concebi eu porventura todo este povo? pari-o eu? que me dissesses: leva-o ao teu collo, como o aio leva o que cria, á terra que juraste a seus paes?
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 D'onde teria eu carne para dar a todo este povo? porquanto contra mim choram, dizendo: Dá-nos carne a comer:
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 Eu só não posso levar a todo este povo, porque muito pesado é para mim.
I alone am unable to sustain this entire people, because it is too heavy for me.
15 E se assim fazes comigo, mata-me eu t'o peço, se tenho achado graça aos teus olhos, e não me deixes ver o meu mal.
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 E disse o Senhor a Moysés: Ajunta-me setenta homens dos anciãos d'Israel, de quem sabes que são anciãos do povo, e seus officiaes: e os trarás perante a tenda da congregação, e ali se porão comtigo
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 Então eu descerei e ali fallarei comtigo, e tirarei do espirito que está sobre ti, e o porei sobre elles: e comtigo levarão o cargo do povo, para que tu só o não leves.
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 E dirás ao povo: Sanctificae-vos para ámanhã, e comereis carne: porquanto chorastes aos ouvidos do Senhor, dizendo: Quem nos dará carne a comer? pois bem nos ia no Egypto: pelo que o Senhor vos dará carne, e comereis:
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 Não comereis um dia, nem dois dias, nem cinco dias, nem dez dias, nem vinte dias;
not for one day, nor for two, nor for five, nor for ten, nor even for twenty,
20 Até um mez inteiro, até vos sair pelos narizes, até que vos enfastieis d'ella: porquanto rejeitastes ao Senhor, que está no meio de vós, e chorastes diante d'elle, dizendo: Porque saimos do Egypto?
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 E disse Moysés: Seiscentos mil homens de pé é este povo, no meio do qual estou: e tu tens dito: Dar-lhes-hei carne, e comerão um mez inteiro.
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 Degolar-se-hão para elles ovelhas e vaccas, que lhes bastem? ou ajuntar-se-hão para elles todos os peixes do mar, que lhes bastem?
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 Porém o Senhor disse a Moysés: Seria pois encurtada a mão do Senhor? agora verás se a minha palavra te acontecerá ou não.
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 E saiu Moysés, e fallou as palavras do Senhor ao povo, e ajuntou setenta homens dos anciãos do povo e os poz de roda da tenda.
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 Então o Senhor desceu na nuvem, e lhe fallou; e, tirando do espirito, que estava sobre elle, o poz sobre aquelles setenta anciãos: e aconteceu que, assim como o espirito repousou sobre elles, prophetizaram; mas depois nunca mais.
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 Porém no arraial ficaram dois homens; o nome d'um era Eldad, e o nome do outro Medad; e repousou sobre elles o espirito (porquanto estavam entre os escriptos, ainda que não sairam á tenda), e prophetizavam no arraial.
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 Então correu um moço, e o annunciou a Moysés, e disse: Eldad e Medad prophetizam no arraial.
And when they were prophesying in the camp, a boy ran and reported to Moses, saying: “Eldad and Medad prophesy in the camp.”
28 E Josué, filho de Nun, servidor de Moysés, um dos seus mancebos escolhidos, respondeu, e disse: Senhor meu, Moysés, prohibe-lh'o.
Promptly, Joshua the son of Nun, the minister of Moses and chosen from many, said: “My lord Moses, prohibit them.”
29 Porém Moysés lhe disse: Tens tu ciumes por mim? Oxalá que todo o povo do Senhor fosse propheta, que o Senhor désse o seu espirito sobre elle!
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 Depois Moysés se recolheu ao arraial, elle e os anciãos de Israel.
And Moses returned, with those greater by birth of Israel, into the camp.
31 Então soprou um vento do Senhor, e trouxe codornizes do mar, e as espalhou pelo arraial quasi caminho d'um dia d'uma banda, e quasi caminho d'um dia da outra banda, á roda do arraial; e estavam quasi dois covados sobre a terra.
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 Então o povo se levantou todo aquelle dia e toda aquella noite, e todo o dia seguinte, e colheram as codornizes; o que menos tinha, colhera dez homers; e as estenderam para si ao redor do arraial.
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 Quando a carne estava entre os seus dentes, antes que fosse mastigada, se accendeu a ira do Senhor contra o povo, e feriu o Senhor o povo com uma praga mui grande.
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 Pelo que o nome d'aquelle logar se chamou Kibroth-hattaava porquanto ali enterraram o povo que teve o desejo.
And that place was called, ‘The Graves of Lust.’ For there, they buried the people who had desired.
35 De Kibroth-hattaava caminhou o povo para Hazaaroth, e pararam em Hazaaroth.
Then, departing from the Graves of Lust, they arrived in Hazeroth, and they stayed there.
