Tirintii 11

1 Oo dadkuna waxay ahaayeen sidii kuwo gunuunac badan, oo wax shar ah ayay Rabbiga dhegihiisa maqashiiyeen. Oo markii Rabbigu maqlay ayaa cadhadiisii kululaatay, oo dabkii Rabbiguna dhexdooduu ka qaxmay, oo xerada meesheedii ugu dambaysay ayuu baabbi'iyey.

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 Markaasaa dadkii waxay u qayliyeen Muuse, kolkaasaa Muuse Rabbiga baryay, oo dabkiina wuu damay.

Then the people cried out to Moses/me, and he/I prayed to Yahweh. Then the fire stopped burning.

3 Oo meeshaas magaceediina waxaa loo baxshay Tabceeraah, maxaa yeelay, dabkii Rabbiga ayaa dhexdooda ka qaxmay.

So they called that place Taberah, [which means ‘burning’], because the fire from Yahweh had burned among them.

4 Oo dadkii badnaa oo isku darsanaa oo iyaga ku dhex jirayna aad bay wax ugu jeeleen. Oo reer binu Israa'iilna mar kalay ooyeen, oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Bal yaa hilib aannu cunno na siinaya?

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 Annagu waxaannu xusuusan nahay kalluunkii aannu Masar lacagla'aan uga cuni jirnay, iyo khajaarkii, iyo batiikhii, iyo basashii cagaarka ahayd, iyo basashii guduudnayd, iyo toontii.

They said, “We wish we had some meat!

6 Laakiinse haatan naftayadii way cunta nacday, oo waxba ma jiraan, oo maannadan ma ahaane wax kaloo aan fiirsanno ma haysanno.

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 Oo maannaduna waxay u ekayd midhaha koryander la yidhaahdo, oo midabkeeduna wuxuu u ekaa midabka xabagta beduliyum la yidhaahdo.

The manna resembled small white seeds.

8 Dadku way warwareegi jireen oo soo urursan jireen, markaasay mixdin ku daqiijin jireen, amase mooye ku tumi jireen, oo dheryay ku karsan jireen, oo moofo bay ka samaysan jireen; oo dhadhankeeduna wuxuu ahaa sida dhadhanka wax saliid lagu sameeyey.

[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 Oo habeennimada markii sayaxu xerada ku soo dego ayaa maannaduna la soo dhici jirtay.

Each night the manna came down on their ground where their tents were, like dew [from the sky].

10 Haddana Muuse wuxuu maqlay dadkii oo ka dhex ooyaya qabiilooyinkoodii oo dhan, oo nin waluba teendhadiisa iriddeeduu taagnaa, markaasaa cadhadii Rabbigu aad u kululaatay, oo Muusena wuu ka xumaaday.

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 Oo Muuse wuxuu Rabbiga ku yidhi, Maxaad anoo addoonkaaga ah sida xun iigu gashay? Oo maxaan raallinimadaada u heli waayay, oo maxaad ii kor saaraysaa dadkan oo dhan culaabtiisa?

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 Dadkan oo dhan ma anigaa uuraystay? Oo ma anigaa dhalay markaad igu leedahay, Iyaga laabtaada ku qaad sida aabbe u qaado ilmo caanonuug ah, tan iyo dalkii aad awowayaashood ugu dhaaratay?

(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 Bal xaggee baan ka helayaa hilib aan siiyo dadkan oo dhan? Waayo, iyagu way igu ooyaan oo waxay igu yidhaahdaan, Hilib aannu cunno na si.

Where can I get meat to feed all these people? They keep complaining to me, saying, ‘Give us some meat to eat!’

14 Anigu ma aan qaadi karo dadkan oo dhan, maxaa yeelay, rarkan aad buu iigu culus yahay.

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 Haddaad sidaas ii gashid, waan ku baryayaaye, i dil, haddaad raalli iga tahay, oo yaanan dandarradayda arkin.

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 Markaasaa Rabbigu Muuse ku yidhi, Waxaad ii soo ururisaa toddobaatan nin oo ah waayeelladii reer binu Israa'iil oo aad garanaysid inay dadka waayeello u yihiin iyo saraakiil u talisa, oo waxaad iyaga keentaa teendhada shirka inay halkaas kula istaagaan.

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 Oo anna waan soo degan doonaa, oo halkaasaan kugula hadli doonaa, oo waxaan qaadi doonaa ruuxa ku kor jooga, markaasaan iyaga saari doonaa, oo waxay kula qaadi doonaan culaabta dadka, si aanad keligaa u qaadin.

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 Oo dadkana waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Hilib baad cunaysaane berri quduus isaga dhiga, waayo, waxaad ku ooydeen Rabbiga dhegihiisii, oo waxaad tidhaahdeen, Bal yaa hilib aannu cunno na siinaya? Waayo, markaannu Masar joogi jirnay baa noo dhaantay. Haddaba Rabbigu hilib buu idin siin doonaa oo idinna waad cuni doontaan.

“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 Oo idinku ma cuni doontaan maalin keliya, ama laba maalmood, amase shan maalmood, amase toban maalmood, amase labaatan maalmood,

You will eat meat not only for one or two days, nor only for five or ten or 20 days.

20 laakiinse waxaad cuni doontaan bil dhan, jeer aad sanka dulalkiisa ka keentaan, oo aad ka diiqootaan, maxaa yeelay, Rabbiga idin dhex jooga ayaad diiddeen oo aad ku hor ooydeen, oo waxaad tidhaahdeen, Bal maxaannu Masar uga soo baxnay?

[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 Markaasaa Muuse yidhi, Dadka aan dhex joogaa waa lix boqol oo kun oo nin oo lug ah, oo adna waxaad tidhi, Waxaan iyaga siinayaa hilib ay bil dhan cunaan.

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 Ma waxaa loo qalaa ido iyo lo' si ay uga dhergaan? Mase kalluunka badda ku jira oo dhan baa loo soo ururiyaa si ay uga dhergaan?

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 Markaasaa Rabbigu Muuse ku yidhi, War ma gacantii Rabbigaa gaabatay? Haddaba waad arki doontaa bal in eraygaygu rumoobayo iyo in kale.

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 Markaasaa Muuse baxay oo dadkii u soo sheegay ereygii Rabbiga, oo wuxuu soo ururiyey toddobaatan nin oo reer binu Israa'iil waayeello u ah, oo Teendhada hareeraheedii ayuu isugu keenay.

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 Markaasaa Rabbigu ku soo degtay daruurtii oo isagii la hadlay, wuxuuna qaaday ruuxii isaga saarnaa, markaasuu toddobaatankii waayeel saaray, oo markii ruxuu korkooda ku degay ayay wax sii sheegeen, laakiinse sidaas mar dambe ma ay yeelin.

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 Laakiinse laba nin baa xeradii ku dhex hadhay. Mid magiciisa waxaa la odhan jiray Eldaad, kan kalena magiciisa waxaa la odhan jiray Meedaad, oo iyagana ruuxii baa ku soo degay, oo waxay ka mid ahaayeen kuwii la qoray, laakiinse uma ay bixin Teendhadii; oo iyagu xerada dhexdeedii ayay wax ku sii sheegeen.

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 Markaasaa nin dhallinyaro ah soo orday oo Muuse u soo sheegay oo yidhi, Eldaad iyo Meedaad xeradii bay wax ku sii sheegayaan.

So a young man ran and told Moses/me, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in all their tents!”

28 Markaasaa Yashuuca ina Nuun oo Muuse midiidinkiisa ahaa oo raggiisii uu doortay ka mid ahaa ayaa ku yidhi, Sayidkaygii Muusow, u diid iyaga.

Joshua, who had helped Moses/me since he was a young man, said, “Sir, tell them to stop doing that!”

29 Markaasaa Muuse wuxuu isagii ku yidhi, War ma aniga baad ii xinaasaysaa? Bal may dadka Rabbiga oo dhammu nebiyo ahaadaan, oo Rabbigu muu iyaga ruuxiisa ku soo dejiyo!

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 Markaasaa Muuse iyo waayeelladii reer binu Israa'iilba xerada ku noqdeen.

Then Moses/I and all the leaders went back to their/our tents.

31 Markaasaa dabayl Rabbiga ka timid, oo waxay badda ka keentay digaagduur, oo xerada hareeraheedii ayay ku soo daadisay intii maalin socodkeed ah oo dhankan ah iyo intii maalin socodkeed ah oo dhanka kale ah oo xerada ku wareegsan, oo dalka korkiisana waxay u jireen intii laba dhudhun ah.

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 Markaasaa dadkii kacay oo maalintaas oo dhan, iyo habeenkii oo dhan, iyo maalintii dambe oo dhan waxay soo urursadeen digaagduurkii; oo kii ugu wax yaraa wuxuu soo urursaday toban xomeer, oo waxay ku kala bixiyeen xerada hareeraheedii.

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 Oo intii hilibkii ilkahoodii ku dhex jiray, oo aanay weli calalin, ayaa cadhadii Rabbigu dadkii aad ugu kululaatay, markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu dadkii ku dhuftay belaayo weyn.

[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 Oo meeshaas magaceedii waxaa loo bixiyey Qibrood Xatawaah, maxaa yeelay, halkaasaa lagu aasay dadkii hunguri xumaaday.

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 Markaasay dadkii Qibrood Xatawaah ka guureen, oo waxay u sodcaaleen Xaseerood, Xaseeroodna way degeen.

From there, the Israelis continued walking [east] until they arrived at Hazeroth [town], where they stopped and stayed [for a long time].
