< Numeri 11 >

1 Zvino vanhu vakanyunyuta, Jehovha achizvinzwa, pamusoro pokuomerwa kwavo, uye paakavanzwa hasha dzake dzakamutswa. Ipapo moto wakabva kuna Jehovha ukapisa pakati pavo uye ukaparadza vamwe kumucheto womusasa.
And the people were as murmurers, speaking evil in the ears of Jehovah. And when Jehovah heard it, his anger was kindled, and the fire of Jehovah burnt among them, and devoured in the outermost part of the camp.
2 Vanhu vakati vachema kuna Mozisi, akanyengetera kuna Jehovha moto ukadzima.
And the people cried to Moses. And Moses prayed to Jehovah, and the fire abated.
3 Saka nzvimbo iyo yakanzi Tabhera, nokuti moto wakabva kuna Jehovha ukapisa pakati pavo.
And the name of that place was called Taberah, because the fire of Jehovah burnt among them.
4 Vatorwa vakanga vari pakati pavo vakatanga kupanga zvimwewo zvokudya, uyezve vaIsraeri vakatanga kuungudza vachiti, “Ndianiko achatipa nyama kuti tidye?
And the mixed multitude that was among them lusted exceedingly. And the sons of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
5 Tinorangarira hove dzataidya muIjipiti tisingatengi; magaka, manwiwa, hanyanisi huru, hanyanisi diki nemhiripiri.
We remember the fish which we ate in Egypt for nothing, the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic,
6 Asi zvino tafinhwa; hapana chimwe chinhu chatiri kuwana kunze kwemana iyi.”
but now our soul is dried away. There is nothing at all except this manna to look upon.
7 Mana yakanga yakaita semhodzi yekorianda uye ichiratidzika samazambiringa akaoma. Vanhu vaitenderera vachiinhonga, uye, vaizoikuya paguyo kana kuidzvura muduri.
And the manna was like coriander seed, and the appearance of it as the appearance of bdellium.
8 Vaiibika muhari kana kuita makeke. Uye yainaka kunge chinhu chakabikwa namafuta omuorivhi.
The people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in mortars, and boiled it in pots, and made cakes of it. And the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil.
9 Dova raiti rawira pamusoro pomusasa usiku, mana yaiwawo.
And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it.
10 Mozisi akanzwa vanhu vemhuri dzose vachiungudza, mumwe nomumwe pamukova wetende rake. Jehovha akatsamwa kwazvo, uye Mozisi akatambudzika.
And Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, every man at the door of his tent. And the anger of Jehovah was kindled greatly, and Moses was displeased.
11 Akabvunza Jehovha akati, “Seiko makauyisa dambudziko iri pamuranda wenyu? Chiiko chandakaita chisingakufadzei zvokuti makaisa mutoro wavanhu ava vose pamusoro pangu?
And Moses said to Jehovah, Why have thou dealt ill with thy servant? And why have I not found favor in thy sight, that thou lay the burden of all this people upon me?
12 Ko, ndini ndakaita kuti vanhu vose ava vaumbwe here? Ko, ndini ndakavabereka here? Seiko muchindiita kuti ndivatakure mumaoko angu, somureri anotakura mwana mucheche kuti ndiende navo kunyika yamakavimbisa nemhiko kumadzitateguru avo?
Have I conceived all this people? Have I brought them forth, that thou should say to me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nurturing father carries the sucking child, to the land which thou swore to their fathers?
13 Ndingawanepiko nyama yandingapa vanhu vose ava? Vanoramba vachingondichemera vachiti, ‘Tipe nyama yokudya.’
From where should I have flesh to give to all this people? For they weep to me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.
14 Handingatakuri vanhu ava vose ndoga; mutoro unondiremera kwazvo.
I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.
15 Kana muchida kundiitira saizvozvo, ndiurayei henyu iye zvino, kana ndawana hangu nyasha pamberi penyu, uye musandirega ndichiona kuparara kwangu.”
And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favor in thy sight, and let me not see my wretchedness.
16 Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, uya navakuru vavaIsraeri makumi manomwe vaunoziva savatungamiri namachinda pakati pavanhu. Uite kuti vauye kuTende Rokusangana, kuti vamire newe ipapo.
And Jehovah said to Moses, Gather to me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou know to be the elders of the people and officers over them. And bring them to the tent of meeting, that they may stand there with thee.
17 Ini ndichaburuka ndigozotaura newe ipapo, uye ndichatora Mweya uri pamusoro pako ndigoisa Mweya iwoyo pamusoro pavo. Ivo vachakubatsira kutakura mutoro wavanhu kuitira kuti iwe urege kuutakura woga.
And I will come down and talk with thee there. And I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them, and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou not bear it thyself alone.
18 “Udza vanhu kuti: ‘Zvinatsei mugadzirire zvamangwana, pamuchadya nyama. Jehovha akakunzwai pamakaungudza muchiti, “Dai bedzi taiva nenyama yokudya! Takanga tiri nani muIjipiti!” Zvino Jehovha achakupai nyama, uye muchaidya.
And say thou to the people, Sanctify yourselves against tomorrow, and ye shall eat flesh, for ye have wept in the ears of Jehovah, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? For it was well with us in Egypt. Therefore Jehovah will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.
19 Hamungaidyi kwezuva rimwe chete, kana mazuva maviri kana mashanu, gumi kana makumi maviri,
Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days,
20 asi kwomwedzi wose, kusvikira yabuda nomumhino dzenyu uye mukaisema, nokuti makaramba Jehovha, ari pakati penyu, uye maichema pamberi pake muchiti, “Takambobvireiko kuIjipiti?”’”
but a whole month, until it comes out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome to you, because ye have rejected Jehovah who is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why did we come forth out of Egypt?
21 Asi Mozisi akati, “Hezvi ndiri pakati pavanhu mazana matanhatu ezviuru vanofamba netsoka, zvino imi munoti, ‘Ini ndichavapa nyama kuti vadye kwomwedzi wose!’
And Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand footmen, and thou have said, I will give them flesh, that they may eat a whole month.
22 Zvichavaringana here kana dai vakaurayirwa makwai nemombe? Zvichavaringana here kana dai vakabatirwa hove dzose dziri mugungwa?”
Shall flocks and herds be slain for them, to suffice them? Or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to suffice them?
23 Jehovha akapindura Mozisi achiti, “Ko, ruoko rwaJehovha rwakapfupiswa here? Zvino uchaona kuti zvandinoreva zvichaitika here kana kuti kwete.”
And Jehovah said to Moses, Is Jehovah's hand grown short? Now thou shall see whether my word shall come to pass to thee or not.
24 Saka Mozisi akabuda akandoudza vanhu zvakanga zvataurwa naJehovha. Akaunganidza vakuru vavo makumi manomwe akavaita kuti vamire vakapoteredza Tende.
And Moses went out, and told the people the words of Jehovah. And he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them round about the tent.
25 Ipapo Jehovha akaburuka ari mugore akataura navo uye akatora Mweya wakanga uri pamusoro pake akaisa Mweya uyu pamusoro pavakuru makumi manomwe. Mweya wakati wagara pamusoro pavo vakaprofita, asi havana kuzopamhazve.
And Jehovah came down in the cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and put it upon the seventy elders. And it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, but they did so no more.
26 Kunyange zvakadaro, varume vaviri, vainzi Eridhadhi naMedhadhi, vakanga vasara mumusasa. Ivo vakanga vaverengwa pakati pavakuru, asi havana kubuda kuti vaende kuTende. Asi Mweya wakagarawo pamusoro pavo uye, vakaprofita vari mumusasa.
But there remained two men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad. And the spirit rested upon them. And they were of those who were written, but had not gone out to the tent. And they prophesied in the camp.
27 Mumwe mujaya akamhanya akandoudza Mozisi akati, “Eridhadhi naMedhadhi vari kuprofita vari mumusasa.”
And a young man ran, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp.
28 Joshua mwanakomana waNuni, uyo akanga ari mubatsiri waMozisi kubva paujaya hwake, akataura nesimba akati, “Mozisi, ishe wangu, vadzivisei!”
And Joshua the son of Nun, the minister of Moses, one of his chosen men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them.
29 Asi Mozisi akapindura akati, “Ko, iwe une godo nokuda kwangu here? Ndinoshuva kuti dai vanhu vaJehovha vose vava vaprofita uye kuti dai Jehovha aisa Mweya wake pamusoro pavo!”
And Moses said to him, Are thou jealous for my sake? Would that all of Jehovah's people were prophets, that Jehovah would put his spirit upon them!
30 Ipapo Mozisi navakuru vavaIsraeri vakadzokera kumusasa.
And Moses went into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
31 Zvino mhepo yakabuda ichibva kuna Jehovha ikasunda zvihuta zvichibva kugungwa. Yakazvikanda pasi kumativi ose omusasa zvikaita murwi ungada kuita makubhiti maviri kubva pasi, kusvika pangafambwa rwendo rwezuva rimwe chete kumativi ose.
And there went forth a wind from Jehovah, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, about a day's journey on this side, and a day's journey on the other side, round about the camp, and about two cubits above the face of the earth.
32 Zuva rose iroro nousiku hwose uye nezuva rose rakatevera vanhu vakabuda kundounganidza zvihuta. Hakuna akaunganidza zvaiva pasi pamahomeri gumi. Ipapo vakazviyanika vakapoteredza musasa.
And the people rose up all that day, and all the night, and all the next day, and gathered the quails. He who gathered least gathered ten homers. And they spread them all abroad for themselves round about the camp.
33 Asi nyama ichiri pakati pamazino avo uye isati yatsengwa, kutsamwa kwaJehovha kwakapfuta pamusoro pavanhu, akavarova nehosha yakaipisisa.
While the flesh was yet between their teeth, before it was chewed, the anger of Jehovah was kindled against the people, and Jehovah smote the people with a very great plague.
34 Naizvozvo nzvimbo iyo yakatumidzwa kunzi Kibhuroti Hataavha, nokuti vakaviga vanhu vakanga vakarira zvimwewo zvokudya.
And the name of that place was called Kibrothhattaavah, because there they buried the people who lusted.
35 Vanhu vakabva paKibhuroti Hataavha vakaenda kuHazeroti vakandogara ikoko.
From Kibrothhattaavah the people journeyed to Hazeroth, and they abode at Hazeroth.
