4 Мојсијева 11
1 После стаде се тужити народ да му је тешко; а то не би по вољи Господу; и кад Господ чу, разгневи се; и распали се на њих огањ Господњи, и сажеже крајње у логору.
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 Тада завапи народ к Мојсију, а Мојсије се помоли Господу, и угаси се огањ.
Then the people cried out to Moses/me, and he/I prayed to Yahweh. Then the fire stopped burning.
3 И прозва се оно место Тавера, јер се распали на њих огањ Господњи.
So they called that place Taberah, [which means ‘burning’], because the fire from Yahweh had burned among them.
4 А светина што беше међу њима, беше врло лакома, те и синови Израиљеви стадоше плакати говорећи: Ко ће нас нахранити меса?
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 Опоменусмо се риба што јеђасмо у Мисиру забадава, и краставаца и диња и лука црног и белог.
They said, “We wish we had some meat!
6 А сада посахну душа наша, нема ништа осим мане пред очима нашим.
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 А мана беше као семе коријандрово, а боја му беше као боја у бдела.
The manna resembled small white seeds.
8 И излажаше народ, те купљаху, и мељаху на жрвњима или туцаху у ступама, и куваху у котлу, или мешаху погаче; а укус јој беше као укус од новог уља.
[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 И кад падаше роса по логору ноћу, падаше с њом и мана.
Each night the manna came down on their ground where their tents were, like dew [from the sky].
10 И чу Мојсије где народ плаче у породицама својим, сваки на вратима од шатора свог; и Господ се разгневи врло, и Мојсију би тешко.
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 Па рече Мојсије Господу: Зашто учини такво зло слузи свом? И зашто не нађох милости пред Тобом, него метну на ме терет свега народа овог?
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 Еда ли ја зачех сав овај народ? Еда ли га ја родих, кад ми кажеш: Изнеси га у наручју свом, као што носи дојиља дете, у ону земљу за коју си се заклео оцима њиховим.
(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 Откуда мени меса да дам свему овом народу? Јер плачу преда мном говорећи: Дај нам меса да једемо.
Where can I get meat to feed all these people? They keep complaining to me, saying, ‘Give us some meat to eat!’
14 Не могу ја сам носити сав народ овај, јер је тешко за мене.
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 Ако ћеш тако чинити са мном, убиј ме боље, ако сам нашао милост пред Тобом, да не гледам зло своје.
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 А Господ рече Мојсију: Сабери ми седамдесет људи између старешина Израиљевих, које знаш да су старешине народу и управитељи његови, и доведи их к шатору од састанка, нека онде стану с тобом.
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 Тада ћу сићи и говорити онде с тобом, и узећу од духа који је на теби и метнућу на њих, да носе с тобом терет народни и да не носиш ти сам.
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 А народу реци: Приправите се за сутра да једете меса, јер плакасте да Господ чу, и рекосте: Ко ће нас нахранити меса? Јер нам добро беше у Мисиру. Даће вам, дакле, Господ меса и јешћете.
“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 Нећете јести један дан, ни два дана, ни пет дана, ни десет дана, ни двадесет дана;
You will eat meat not only for one or two days, nor only for five or ten or 20 days.
20 Него цео месец дана, докле вам на нос не удари и не огади вам се, зато што одбацисте Господа који је међу вама и плакасте пред Њим говорећи: Зашто изиђосмо из Мисира?
[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 А Мојсије рече: Шест стотина хиљада пешака има народа, у коме сам, па Ти кажеш: Даћу им меса да једу цео месец дана.
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 Еда ли ће им се поклати овце и говеда да им достане? Или ће им се покупити све рибе морске да им буде доста?
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 А Господ рече Мојсију: Зар рука Господња неће бити довољна? Видећеш хоће ли бити шта ти рекох или неће.
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 И Мојсије изиђе и рече народу речи Господње; и сабра седамдесет људи између старешина народних, и постави их око шатора.
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 И Господ сиђе у облаку и говори к њему, и узевши од духа који беше на њему метну на оних седамдесет људи старешина; и кад дух дође на њих, пророковаху, али више никад.
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 А два човека осташе у логору, једном беше име Елдад, а другом Модад, на које дође дух, јер и они беху записани, али не дођоше к шатору, и стадоше пророковати у логору.
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 И дотрча момак, те јави Мојсију говорећи: Елдад и Модад пророкују у логору.
So a young man ran and told Moses/me, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in all their tents!”
28 А Исус, син Навин, слуга Мојсијев, један од момака његових, рече говорећи: Мојсије, господару мој, забрани им.
Joshua, who had helped Moses/me since he was a young man, said, “Sir, tell them to stop doing that!”
29 А Мојсије му одговори: Зар завидиш мене ради? Камо да сав народ Господњи постану пророци и да Господ пусти дух свој на њих!
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 Потом се врати Мојсије у логор са старешинама Израиљевим.
Then Moses/I and all the leaders went back to their/our tents.
31 Тада се подиже ветар од Господа, и потера од мора препелице, и разасу их по логору на дан хода одовуда и на дан хода одонуда око логора, на два лакта од земље.
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 И уставши народ цео онај дан и сву ноћ и цео други дан купљаше препелице: и ко накупи најмање накупи десет гомора; и повешаше их себи редом око логора.
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 Али месо још им беше у зубима, јоште га не поједоше, а Господ се разгневи на народ и удари Господ народ помором врло великим.
[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 И прозва се оно место Киврот-Атава јер онде укопаше народ који се беше полакомио.
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 И пође народ од Киврот-Атаве у Асирот, и стадоше у Асироту.
From there, the Israelis continued walking [east] until they arrived at Hazeroth [town], where they stopped and stayed [for a long time].
