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.
One day the people complained to Yahweh about their troubles. When Yahweh heard what they were saying, he became angry. So he sent a fire which burned among the people at the edge of their camp.
2 Então o povo clamou a Moisés, e Moisés orou ao Senhor, e o fogo se apagou.
Then the people cried out to Moses/me, and he/I prayed to Yahweh. Then the fire stopped burning.
3 Pelo que chamou aquele lugar Tabera, porquanto o fogo do Senhor se acendera entre eles.
So they called that place Taberah, [which means ‘burning’], because the fire from Yahweh had burned among 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?
Then some troublemakers from other people-groups [who were traveling] with the Israelis began to want better food. And [when they started complaining] the Israeli people also started to complain.
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.
They said, “We wish we had some meat!
6 Mas agora a nossa alma se seca; coisa nenhuma há senão este maná diante dos nossos olhos.
We remember the fish that we ate while we were in Egypt, fish that was given to us without (cost/asking us to pay for it). And we had all the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions, and garlic [that we wanted]. But now we do not have any desire to eat, because all we have to eat is this manna!”
7 E era o maná como semente de coentro, e a sua cor como a cor de bdélio.
The manna resembled small white seeds.
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.
[Each morning] the people would go out and gather some [from the surface of the ground]. Then they made flour by grinding it or pounding it with stones. Then they [added water and] boiled it in a pot, or they made flat cakes with it [and baked them]. The cakes tasted like bread that was baked with [olive] oil.
9 E, quando o orvalho descia de noite sobre o arraial, o maná descia sobre ele.
Each night the manna came down on their ground where their tents were, like dew [from the sky].
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/I heard all the Israeli people complaining as they were standing in the entrances of their tents. Yahweh became very angry, and Moses/I was also very perturbed.
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/I [went into the Sacred Tent and] asked Yahweh, “Why have you caused me, your servant, to experience this trouble [RHQ]? Act mercifully to me! What wrong have I done, with the result that you have appointed me to take care of all of these people [RHQ]?
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?
(I am not their father./Am I their father?) [RHQ] Why have you told me to take care of them like a woman carries around her baby and (nurses it/gives it her milk) [MET, RHQ]? How can I take them to the land that you promised to give to our ancestors [RHQ]?
13 De onde teria eu carne para dar a todo este povo? porquanto contra mim choram, dizendo: Dá-nos carne a comer:
Where can I get meat to feed all these people? They keep complaining to me, saying, ‘Give us some meat to eat!’
14 Eu só não posso levar a todo este povo, porque muito pesado é para mim.
I cannot carry all these people’s burdens by myself! [They are like a heavy load [MET], and] I cannot carry this very heavy load any more.
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 you intend to act like this toward me, kill me now. If you are really concerned about me, be kind to me and [kill me to] end my misery [of trying to take care of them]!”
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
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Summon 70 men whom you know are leaders among the Israeli people. Tell them to stand with you in front of the Sacred Tent.
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. Then I will take some of [the power of] my Spirit that you have, and I will put [that power] on them also. They will help you to take care of some of the things that the people are concerned about, in order that you will not need to do 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:
“Furthermore, say to the people, ‘Make yourselves acceptable to me, and tomorrow you will have meat to eat. You were complaining, and Yahweh heard you when you were saying, “We want some meat to eat. We had better food in Egypt!” Now Yahweh will give you some meat, and you will eat it.
19 Não comereis um dia, nem dois dias, nem cinco dias, nem dez dias, nem vinte dias;
You will eat meat not only for one or two days, nor only for five or ten or 20 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 will eat meat every day] for one month, and then you will loathe/despise it, and it will cause you to want to vomit. [This will happen] because you have rejected Yahweh who is here among you, and you have wailed in his presence, saying [“We would have had better food to eat] if we had not left Egypt [RHQ].”’”
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/I replied to Yahweh, “There are 600,000 men [plus women and children] here with me, so ([why] do you say ‘I will give them plenty of meat every day for a month!’?/it does not seem right for you to say ‘I will give them plenty of meat every day for a month!’) [RHQ]
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 we killed all the sheep and cattle, that would not [RHQ] be enough [to provide meat for all of them] Even if we caught all the fish in the sea [and gave it to them], that would not be enough [RHQ]!”
23 Porém o Senhor disse a Moisés: Seria pois encurtada a mão do Senhor? agora verás se a minha palavra te acontecerá ou não.
But Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Do you think that I [SYN] have no power? You will now see if I can do what I say I will do.”
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.
So Moses/I went out [from the Sacred Tent] and told the people what Yahweh had said. Then he/I gathered together the 70 leaders and told them to stand around the Sacred 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 Yahweh came down in the cloud [that was above the tent] and spoke to Moses/me. He took some of [the power of] the Spirit that he had given to Moses/me and gave it to the 70 leaders. By means of the power of the Spirit within them, they (prophesied/spoke messages that Yahweh gave them), but they did that only once.
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.
Two of the leaders whom Moses/I appointed, Eldad and Medad, were not there when the rest of them gathered together. They had not left [their tents] to go and stand around the Sacred Tent. But Yahweh’s Spirit came on them also, and they started to (prophesy/speak messages from Yahweh).
27 Então correu um moço, e o anunciou a Moisés, e disse: Eldad e Medad profetizam no arraial.
So a young man ran and told Moses/me, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in all their tents!”
28 E Josué, filho de Nun, servidor de Moisés, um dos seus mancebos escolhidos, respondeu, e disse: Senhor meu, Moisés, proíbe-lho.
Joshua, who had helped Moses/me since he was a young man, said, “Sir, tell them to stop doing that!”
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!
But Moses/I replied, “(Are you worried that they might injure my reputation/Do you think that I want to be the only one who prophesies) [RHQ]? I wish that all Yahweh’s people could (prophesy/speak messages from Yahweh). I wish that Yahweh would give the power of his Spirit to all of them!”
30 Depois Moisés se recolheu ao arraial, ele e os anciãos de Israel.
Then Moses/I and all the leaders went back to their/our tents.
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.
Then Yahweh sent a strong wind from the sea. It blew quail into the area all around the camp for miles in every direction, [and caused the quail to fall onto the ground]. They were piled up on the ground about (3 feet/1 meter) high!
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.
So the people went out and gathered up the quail all that day, and all that night, and all of the following day. [It seemed as though] everyone gathered at least 50 bushels! They spread the quail out on the ground all around the camp, [so that the quail would dry out].
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.
[Then they cooked them and started to eat them]. But while they were still eating the meat [MTY], Yahweh [showed that he] was very angry with them. He struck them with a severe plague/sickness, [and many people died].
34 Pelo que o nome daquele lugar se chamou Kibroth-hattaava porquanto ali enterraram o povo que teve o desejo.
The people who died and were buried were the ones who had said they wanted to eat meat [like they had formerly eaten in Egypt]. So they called that place Kibroth-Hattaavah, [which means ‘graves of those who craved’].
35 De Kibroth-hattaava caminhou o povo para Hazaaroth, e pararam em Hazaaroth.
From there, the Israelis continued walking [east] until they arrived at Hazeroth [town], where they stopped and stayed [for a long time].
