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 acendeu, e o fogo do Senhor ardeu entre eles, e consumiu os que estavam na última parte do arraial.
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 Então o povo clamou a Moisés, e Moisés orou ao Senhor, e o fogo se apagou.
The people cried to Moses for help. He prayed to the Lord and the fire subsided.
3 Pelo que chamou aquele lugar Tabera, porquanto o fogo do Senhor se acendera entre eles.
So that place was named Taberah, because the fire from the Lord burned them.
4 E o vulgo, que estava no meio deles, veio a ter grande desejo: pelo que os filhos de Israel tornaram a chorar, e disseram: Quem nos dará carne a comer?
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 Lembramo-nos dos peixes que no Egito comiamos de graça; e dos pepinos, e dos melões, e dos pórros, e das cebolas, e dos alhos.
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 Mas agora a nossa alma se seca; coisa nenhuma há senão este maná diante dos nossos olhos.
We're fading away here! The only thing we ever see is this manna!”
7 E era o maná como semente de coentro, e a sua cor como a cor de bdélio.
Manna looked like coriander seeds, light in color like gum resin.
8 Espalhava-se o povo, e o colhia, e em moinhos o moia, ou num gral o pizava, e em panelas o cozia, e dele fazia bolos: e o seu sabor era como o sabor de azeite fresco.
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 E, quando o orvalho descia de noite sobre o arraial, o maná descia sobre ele.
When the dew came down on the camp at night the manna would come down with it.
10 Então Moisés ouviu chorar o povo pelas suas famílias, cada qual à porta da sua tenda: e a ira do Senhor grandemente se acendeu, e pareceu mal aos olhos de Moisés.
Moses heard all the families crying at the entrance to their tents. The Lord became very angry, and Moses was also upset.
11 E disse Moisés ao Senhor: Porque fizeste mal a teu servo, e porque não achei graça aos teus olhos; que pusesses sobre mim o cargo de todo este povo?
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 Concebi eu porventura todo este povo? pari-o eu? que me dissesses: leva-o ao teu colo, como o aio leva o que cria, à terra que juraste a seus pais?
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 De onde teria eu carne para dar a todo este povo? porquanto contra mim choram, dizendo: Dá-nos carne a comer:
Where am I supposed to get meat for all of them? They keep on complaining to me, ‘Get us some meat to eat!’
14 Eu só não posso levar a todo este povo, porque muito pesado é para mim.
I can't go on carrying all these people by myself—it's just too much.
15 E se assim fazes comigo, mata-me eu to peço, se tenho achado graça aos teus olhos, e não me deixes ver o meu mal.
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 E disse o Senhor a Moisés: Ajunta-me setenta homens dos anciãos de Israel, de quem sabes que são anciãos do povo, e seus oficiais: e os trarás perante a tenda da congregação, e ali se porão contigo
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 Então eu descerei e ali falarei contigo, e tirarei do espírito que está sobre ti, e o porei sobre eles: e contigo levarão o cargo do povo, para que tu só o não leves.
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 E dirás ao povo: santificai-vos para amanhã, e comereis carne: porquanto chorastes aos ouvidos do Senhor, dizendo: Quem nos dará carne a comer? pois bem nos ia no Egito: pelo que o Senhor vos dará carne, e comereis:
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 Não comereis um dia, nem dois dias, nem cinco dias, nem dez dias, nem vinte dias;
You're going to eat it, not for just a day or two, and not for five or ten or twenty days.
20 Até um mês inteiro, até vos sair pelos narizes, até que vos enfastieis dela: porquanto rejeitastes ao Senhor, que está no meio de vós, e chorastes diante dele, dizendo: Porque saímos do Egito?
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 E disse Moisés: Seiscentos mil homens de pé é este povo, no meio do qual estou: e tu tens dito: dar-lhes-ei carne, e comerão um mês inteiro.
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 Degolar-se-ão para eles ovelhas e vacas, que lhes bastem? ou ajuntar-se-ão para eles todos os peixes do mar, que lhes bastem?
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 Porém o Senhor disse a Moisés: Seria pois encurtada a mão do Senhor? agora verás se a minha palavra te acontecerá ou não.
“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 E saiu Moisés, e falou as palavras do Senhor ao povo, e ajuntou setenta homens dos anciãos do povo e os pôs de roda da tenda.
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 Então o Senhor desceu na nuvem, e lhe falou; e, tirando do espírito, que estava sobre ele, o pôs sobre aqueles setenta anciãos: e aconteceu que, assim como o espírito repousou sobre eles, profetizaram; mas depois nunca mais.
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 Porém no arraial ficaram dois homens; o nome dum era Eldad, e o nome do outro Medad; e repousou sobre eles o espírito (porquanto estavam entre os escritos, ainda que não sairam à tenda), e profetizavam no arraial.
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 Então correu um moço, e o anunciou a Moisés, e disse: Eldad e Medad profetizam no arraial.
A young lad ran and told Moses, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.”
28 E Josué, filho de Nun, servidor de Moisés, um dos seus mancebos escolhidos, respondeu, e disse: Senhor meu, Moisés, proíbe-lho.
Joshua, son of Nun, who had been Moses' assistant since he was young, reacted, saying, “Moses, my lord, you have to stop them!”
29 Porém Moisés lhe disse: Tens tu ciúmes por mim? Oxalá que todo o povo do Senhor fosse profeta, que o Senhor desse o seu espírito sobre ele!
“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 Depois Moisés se recolheu ao arraial, ele e os anciãos de Israel.
Then Moses went back to the camp with the elders of Israel.
31 Então soprou um vento do Senhor, e trouxe codornizes do mar, e as espalhou pelo arraial quase caminho dum dia de uma banda, e quase caminho dum dia da outra banda, à roda do arraial; e estavam quase dois côvados sobre a terra.
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 Então o povo se levantou todo aquele dia e toda aquela 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.
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 Quando a carne estava entre os seus dentes, antes que fosse mastigada, se acendeu a ira do Senhor contra o povo, e feriu o Senhor o povo com uma praga mui grande.
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 Pelo que o nome daquele lugar se chamou Kibroth-hattaava porquanto ali enterraram o povo que teve o desejo.
They named that place Kibroth-hattaavah, because that was where they buried the people who had these intense food cravings.
35 De Kibroth-hattaava caminhou o povo para Hazaaroth, e pararam em Hazaaroth.
Then they moved on from Kibroth-hattaavah to Hazeroth, where they stayed for some time.
