4 Mojzes 11
1 Ko se je ljudstvo pritoževalo, je to razžalilo Gospoda, in Gospod je to slišal in njegova jeza je bila vžgana in med njimi je zagorel Gospodov ogenj in použil tiste, ki so bili na najbolj oddaljenih delih tabora.
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 Ljudstvo je klicalo k Mojzesu in ko je Mojzes molil h Gospodu je bil ogenj pogašen.
Then the people cried out to Moses/me, and he/I prayed to Yahweh. Then the fire stopped burning.
3 Ime kraja je imenoval Tabêra, ker je med njimi gorel Gospodov ogenj.
So they called that place Taberah, [which means ‘burning’], because the fire from Yahweh had burned among them.
4 Mešana množica, ki je bila med njimi, je čutila poželenje in tudi Izraelovi otroci so ponovno jokali ter rekli: »Kdo nam bo dal za jesti meso?«
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 Spominjamo se rib, ki smo jih prosto jedli v Egiptu, kumaric, melon, pora, čebule in česna.
They said, “We wish we had some meat!
6 Toda naša duša je sedaj izsušena. Tukaj, pred našimi očmi, sploh ni ničesar poleg mane.
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 Mana je bila kakor koriandrovo seme in njena barva kakor barva bdelija.
The manna resembled small white seeds.
8 Ljudstvo je šlo okoli in to nabiralo in mlelo v mlinih ali tolklo v možnarju in jo peklo v ponvah in iz nje delalo kolače in njen okus je bil kakor okus svežega olja.
[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 Ko je ponoči na tabor padla rosa, je nanj padla mana.
Each night the manna came down on their ground where their tents were, like dew [from the sky].
10 Potem je Mojzes slišal ljudstvo jokati po svojih družinah, vsakega moža pri vratih svojega šotora. Gospodova jeza je bila silno vžgana; tudi Mojzes je bil razžaljen.
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 Mojzes je rekel Gospodu: »Zakaj si prizadel svojega služabnika? In zakaj nisem našel naklonjenosti v tvojem pogledu, da name polagaš breme vsega tega ljudstva?
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 Ali sem jaz spočel vse to ljudstvo? Mar sem jih rodil, da bi mi rekel: ›Nosi jih v svojem naročju, kakor skrbeč oče nosi doječega otroka, v deželo, ki si jo prisegel njihovim očetom?‹
(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 Od kod naj bi imel meso, da ga dam vsemu temu ljudstvu? Kajti jokajo k meni, rekoč: ›Daj nam meso, da bomo lahko jedli.‹
Where can I get meat to feed all these people? They keep complaining to me, saying, ‘Give us some meat to eat!’
14 Vsega tega ljudstva nisem zmožen nositi sam, ker je to zame pretežko.
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 Če tako postopaš z menoj, me ubij, prosim te, brez razmisleka, če sem našel naklonjenost v tvojih očeh in naj ne vidim svoje bednosti.«
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 Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »K meni zberi sedemdeset mož izmed Izraelovih starešin, ki jih poznaš, da so starešine ljudstva in častniki nad njimi; in privedi jih k šotorskemu svetišču skupnosti, da bodo tam lahko stali s teboj.
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 Jaz pa bom prišel dol in tam govoril s teboj. Vzel bom od duha, ki je nad teboj in položil ga bom nanje in s teboj bodo nosili breme ljudstva, da ga ne boš nosil 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 Ljudstvu pa reci: ›Posvetite se za jutri in jedli boste meso, kajti jokali ste v Gospodova ušesa, rekoč: ›Kdo nam bo dal za jesti meso? Kajti z nami je bilo dobro v Egiptu, ‹ zato vam bo Gospod dal meso in vi boste jedli.
“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 Ne boste jedli en dan, niti dva dni, niti pet dni, niti deset dni, niti dvajset dni,
You will eat meat not only for one or two days, nor only for five or ten or 20 days.
20 temveč cel mesec, dokler to ne pride iz vaših nosnic in vam to postane gnusno, zato ker ste prezirali Gospoda, ki je med vami in ste jokali pred njim, rekoč: ›Zakaj smo prišli iz Egipta?‹«
[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 Mojzes je rekel: »Ljudstva, med katerim sem, je šeststo tisoč pešcev, ti pa si rekel: ›Jaz jim bom dal mesa, da bodo lahko jedli cel mesec.‹
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 Mar bodo tropi in črede umorjeni zaradi njih, da jim zadostijo? Mar se bodo vse morske ribe zanje zbrale skupaj, da jim zadostijo?«
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 Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Ali je Gospodova roka postala prekratka? Sedaj boš videl, če se ti bo moja beseda zgodila ali ne.«
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 Mojzes je odšel ven in ljudstvu povedal Gospodove besede in zbral sedemdeset mož izmed starešin ljudstva in jih postavil naokoli šotorskega svetišča.
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 Gospod je prišel dol v oblaku in mu spregovoril in vzel od duha, ki je bil nad njim in ga dal sedemdesetim starešinam. Pripetilo se je, ko je nad njimi počival duh, da so prerokovali in niso prenehali.
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 Toda tam v taboru sta ostala dva izmed mož, ime enega je bilo Eldád in ime drugega Medád in duh je počival nad njima. Bila sta izmed tistih, ki so bili zapisani, toda nista odšla k šotorskemu svetišču, in prerokovala sta v taboru.
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 Tam je pritekel mladenič in povedal Mojzesu ter rekel: »Eldád in Medád prerokujeta v taboru.«
So a young man ran and told Moses/me, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in all their tents!”
28 Nunov sin Józue, Mojzesov služabnik, eden izmed njegovih mladeničev, je odgovoril in rekel: »Moj gospod Mojzes, prepovej jima.«
Joshua, who had helped Moses/me since he was a young man, said, “Sir, tell them to stop doing that!”
29 Mojzes mu je rekel: »Mar si zaradi mene ljubosumen? Da bi Bog dal, da bi bilo vse Gospodovo ljudstvo preroki in da bi Gospod nanje položil svojega duha!«
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 Mojzes se je povzpel v tabor, on in starešine Izraela.
Then Moses/I and all the leaders went back to their/our tents.
31 Od Gospoda je izšel veter in od morja prinesel prepelice in jih pustil pasti pri taboru, kakor bi bilo dan potovanja na tej strani in kakor bi bilo dan potovanja na oni strani, naokoli tabora in kakor bi jih bilo dva komolca visoko na obličju 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 Ljudstvo je stalo pokonci ves ta dan in vso to noč in ves naslednji dan in zbiralo prepelice. Kdor je zbral najmanj je zbral deset tovorov. Razporedili so si jih povsod naokoli tabora.
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 Medtem ko je bilo meso še vedno med njihovimi zobmi, preden je bilo prežvečeno, je bil Gospodov bes vžgan zoper ljudstvo in Gospod je ljudstvo udaril z zelo veliko nadlogo.
[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 Ime tega kraja je imenoval Kibrot-Hattaava, ker so tam pokopali ljudstvo, ki je poželelo.
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 In ljudstvo je odpotovalo od Kibrot-Hattaave do Haceróta in ostalo pri Hacerótu.
From there, the Israelis continued walking [east] until they arrived at Hazeroth [town], where they stopped and stayed [for a long time].
