Brojevi 11
1 Poslije stade se tužiti narod da mu je teško; a to ne bi po volji Gospodu; i kad Gospod èu, razgnjevi se; i raspali se na njih oganj Gospodnji, i sažeže krajnje u okolu.
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 Tada zavapi narod k Mojsiju, a Mojsije se pomoli Gospodu, i ugasi se oganj.
Then the people cried out to Moses/me, and he/I prayed to Yahweh. Then the fire stopped burning.
3 I prozva se ono mjesto Tavera, jer se raspali na njih oganj Gospodnji.
So they called that place Taberah, [which means ‘burning’], because the fire from Yahweh had burned among them.
4 A svjetina što bijaše meðu njima, bješe vrlo lakoma, te i sinovi Izrailjevi stadoše plakati govoreæi: ko æe nas nahraniti mesa?
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 Opomenusmo se riba što jeðasmo u Misiru zabadava, i krastavaca i dinja i luka crnoga i bijeloga.
They said, “We wish we had some meat!
6 A sada posahnu duša naša, nema ništa osim mane pred oèima našima.
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 A mana bješe kao sjeme korijandrovo, a boja mu bješe kao boja u bdela.
The manna resembled small white seeds.
8 I izlažaše narod, te kupljahu, i meljahu na žrvnjima ili tucahu u stupama, i kuhahu u kotlu, ili miješahu pogaèe; a kus joj bijaše kao kus od novoga ulja.
[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 I kad padaše rosa po okolu noæu, padaše s njom i mana.
Each night the manna came down on their ground where their tents were, like dew [from the sky].
10 I èu Mojsije gdje narod plaèe u porodicama svojim, svaki na vratima od šatora svojega; i Gospod se razgnjevi vrlo, i Mojsiju bi teško.
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 Pa reèe Mojsije Gospodu: zašto uèini tako zlo sluzi svojemu? i zašto ne naðoh milosti pred tobom, nego metnu na me teret svega naroda ovoga?
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 Eda li ja zaèeh sav ovaj narod? eda li ga ja rodih, kad mi kažeš: iznesi ga u naruèju svojem, kao što nosi dojilja dijete, u onu zemlju za koju si se zakleo ocima njihovijem.
(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 Otkuda meni mesa da dam svemu ovom narodu? jer plaèu preda mnom govoreæi: daj nam mesa da jedemo.
Where can I get meat to feed all these people? They keep complaining to me, saying, ‘Give us some meat to eat!’
14 Ne mogu ja sam nositi svega naroda ovoga, jer je teško za mene.
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 Ako æeš tako èiniti sa mnom, ubij me bolje, ako sam našao milost pred tobom, da ne gledam zla svojega.
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 A Gospod reèe Mojsiju: saberi mi sedamdeset ljudi izmeðu starješina Izrailjevijeh, koje znaš da su starješine narodu i upravitelji njegovi, i dovedi ih k šatoru od sastanka, neka ondje stanu s tobom.
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 Tada æu siæi i govoriti ondje s tobom, i uzeæu od duha koji je na tebi i metnuæu na njih, da nose s tobom teret narodni i da ne nosiš ti sam.
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 A narodu reci: pripravite se za sjutra da jedete mesa, jer plakaste da Gospod èu, i rekoste: ko æe nas nahraniti mesa? jer nam dobro bijaše u Misiru. Daæe vam dakle Gospod mesa i ješæete.
“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 Neæete jesti jedan dan, ni dva dana, ni pet dana, ni deset dana, ni dvadeset dana;
You will eat meat not only for one or two days, nor only for five or ten or 20 days.
20 Nego cio mjesec dana, dokle vam na nos ne udari i ne ogadi vam se, zato što odbaciste Gospoda koji je meðu vama i plakaste pred njim govoreæi: zašto izidosmo iz Misira?
[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 A Mojsije reèe: šest stotina tisuæa pješaka ima naroda, u kojem sam, pa ti kažeš: daæu im mesa da jedu cio mjesec dana.
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 Eda li æe im se poklati ovce i goveda da im dostane? ili æe im se pokupiti sve ribe morske da im bude dosta?
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 A Gospod reèe Mojsiju: zar ruka Gospodnja neæe biti dovoljna? Vidjeæeš hoæe li biti što ti rekoh ili neæe.
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 I Mojsije izide i reèe narodu rijeèi Gospodnje; i sabra sedamdeset ljudi izmeðu starješina narodnijeh, i postavi ih oko šatora.
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 I Gospod siðe u oblaku, i govori k njemu, i uzevši od duha koji bješe na njemu metnu na onijeh sedamdeset ljudi starješina; i kad duh doðe na njih, prorokovahu, ali više nikad.
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 A dva èovjeka ostaše u okolu, jednom bješe ime Eldad, a drugom Modad, na koje doðe duh, jer i oni bijahu zapisani ali ne doðoše k šatoru, i stadoše prorokovati u okolu.
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 I dotrèa momak, te javi Mojsiju govoreæi: Eldad i Modad prorokuju u okolu.
So a young man ran and told Moses/me, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in all their tents!”
28 A Isus sin Navin, sluga Mojsijev, jedan od momaka njegovijeh, reèe govoreæi: Mojsije gospodaru moj, zabrani im.
Joshua, who had helped Moses/me since he was a young man, said, “Sir, tell them to stop doing that!”
29 A Mojsije mu odgovori: zar zavidiš mene radi? kamo da sav narod Gospodnji postanu proroci i da Gospod pusti duh svoj na njih!
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 Potom se vrati Mojsije u oko sa starješinama Izrailjevijem.
Then Moses/I and all the leaders went back to their/our tents.
31 Tada se podiže vjetar od Gospoda, i potjera od mora prepelice, i razasu ih po okolu, na dan hoda odovuda i na dan hoda odonuda oko okola, na dva lakta od zemlje.
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 I ustavši narod vas onaj dan i svu noæ i vas drugi dan kupljaše prepelice: i ko nakupi najmanje nakupi deset gomora; i povješaše ih sebi redom oko okola.
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 Ali meso još im bijaše u zubima, jošte ga ne pojedoše, a Gospod se razgnjevi na narod, i udari Gospod narod pomorom vrlo velikim.
[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 I prozva se ono mjesto Kivrot-Atava jer ondje ukopaše narod koji se bješe polakomio.
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 I poðe narod od Kivrot-Atave u Asirot, i stadoše u Asirotu.
From there, the Israelis continued walking [east] until they arrived at Hazeroth [town], where they stopped and stayed [for a long time].
