Hesabu 11

1 Sasa watu wakanung'unika juu ya matatizo yao wakati BWANA alipokuwa akiwasikiliza. BWANA akawasikia watu naye akakasirika. Moto kutoka kwa BWANA ukashuka na ukawaka kati yao na kuteketeza baadhi ya kambi kwenye pembe zake.

Now the people complained about their troubles as Yahweh listened. Yahweh heard the people and became angry. Fire from Yahweh burned among them and consumed some of the camp on its edges.

2 Ndipo watu wakamwita Musa kwa nguvu, Naye Musa akamwomba BWANA, na ule moto ukazimika.

Then people called out to Moses, so Moses prayed to Yahweh, and the fire stopped.

3 Mahali pale paliitwa Tabera, kwa sababu moto wa BWANA uliwaka kati yao.

That place was named Taberah, because Yahweh's fire burned among them.

4 Baadhi ya wageni wakaanza kuweka kambi zao pamoja na wana wa wa Israeli. Walitaka kula chakula kizuri. Kisha wana wa Israeli walipoanza kulia wakisema, “Ni nani atakayetupatia nyama za kula?

Some foreign people began to camp with Israel's descendants. They wanted better food to eat. Then the people of Israel began to weep and say, “Who will give us meat to eat?

5 Tunakumbuka samaki tulizokula bure kule Misri, yale matango, na matikiti maji, na mboga na vitunguu na vitunguu saumu.

We remember the fish that we ate freely in Egypt, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic.

6 Na sasa hatuna hamu ya kula, kwa sababu tunaona mana tu.

Now our appetite is gone, because all we can see is this manna.”

7 Mana ilifanana na punje ya mtama. ilionekana kama bedola.

Manna was like coriander seed. It looked like resin.

8 watu wakazunguka kisha wakakusanyika. Wakaisaga, wakaitwanga kwa vinu, wakaitokosa nyunguni, na kuitengeneza mikate. radha yake ilikuwa kama mafuta mapya ya mizeituni.

The people walked around and gathered it. They ground it in mills, beat it in mortars, boiled it in pots, and made it into cakes. It tasted like fresh olive oil.

9 Na umande ulipoanguka kambini usiku ule, na mana ilianguka pia.

When the dew fell on the camp in the night, the manna also fell.

10 Musa akawasikia watu wakilia katika familia zao, na kila mtu alikuwa kwenye lango la hema yake. BWANA alikasirika sana, na mbele ya macho ya Musa malalamiko yao yalikuwa mabaya.

Moses heard the people weeping in their families, and every man was at the entrance to his tent. Yahweh was very angry, and in Moses' eyes their complaining was wrong.

11 Musa akasema na BWANA, “Kwa nini umemtendea mtumishi wako vibaya namna hiyo? kwa nini hujapendezwa na mimi? unanifanya kubeba mizigo ya hawa watu.

Moses said to Yahweh, “Why have you treated your servant so badly? Why are you not pleased with me? You make me carry the load of all these people.

12 Je, mimi ndiye niliyewatungia mimba hawa watu? Mimi ndiye niliyewazaa kiasi kwamba unaniambia, “wabebe kwa ukaribu vifuani mwako kama baba abebavyo mtoto wake? Je, nitawabeba mpaka kwenye nchi ambayo uliwaahidi mababu zao kuwapa?

Did I conceive all these people? Have I given them birth so that you should say to me, 'Carry them closely to your chest as a father carries a baby?' Should I carry them to the land that you swore to their ancestors to give them?

13 Naweza kupata wapi nyama za kuwapa watu wote hawa? Wanalia mbele zangu na wanasema, 'tupe nyama tule.'

Where can I find meat to give to all this people? They are weeping in front of me and are saying, 'Give us meat to eat.'

14 Mimi peke yangu siwezi kuwabeba watu wote hawa. Ni wengi sana kwangu.

I cannot bear all these people alone. They are too much for me.

15 Kwa vile unanitendea hivi, basi uniue, na kama wewe ni mpole kwangu, basi niondolee mzigo huu.”

Since you are treating me this way, kill me now—if I find favor in your eyes—do not let me see my misery.”

16 BWANA akamwambia Musa, “Niletee wazee sabini miongoni mwa Waisraeli. Hakikisha ni wazee na viongozi wa watu. Uwalete kwenye hema ya kukutania wasimame pamoja na wewe.

Yahweh said to Moses, “Bring to me seventy of Israel's elders. Be sure that they are elders and officers of the people. Bring them to the tent of meeting to stand there with you.

17 Nami nitashuka niseme nawe mahali pale. Nitatoa sehemu ya roho iliyo ndani yako na kuwapatia wao. Nao watabeba mzigo wa watu pamoja nawe. na hautaubeba peke yako.

I will come down and talk with you there. I will take some of the Spirit that is on you and put it on them. They will bear the burden of the people with you. You will not have to bear it alone.

18 Waambie watu, 'Jitakaseni ninyi wenyewe, kwa kuwa kesho mtakuala nyama, kwa kuwa mmelia na BWANA amesikia, “Mlipokuwa mkisema kuwa nani atakayetupa nyama tule? Kule Misri tulikula chakula kizuri!” Kwa hiyo BWANA atawapeni nyama, nanyi mtakula nyama.

Say to the people, 'Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow and you will indeed eat meat, for you have wept and Yahweh has heard. You said, “Who will give us meat to eat? It was good for us in Egypt.” Therefore Yahweh will give you meat, and you will eat it.

19 Hamtakula nyama kwa siku moja tu, au siku mbili, au siku tano, au siku kumi, au siku ishirini,

You will not eat meat for only one day, two days, five days, ten days, or twenty days,

20 Lakini mtakula nyama kwa mwezi mmoja mpaka zitakapowatokea puani. Mpaka zitawakinai kwa sababu mmemkataa BWANA ambaye yuko kati yenu. Mmelia mbele yake. mmesema, “Kwa nini tulitoka Misri?””

but you will eat meat for a whole month until it comes out of your nostrils. It will disgust you because you have rejected Yahweh, who is among you. You have wept before him. You said, “Why did we leave Egypt?”'”

21 Kisha Musa akasema, “Mimi nina watu 600, 000, na wewe umesema, “Nitawapa nyama mle kwa mwezi mmoja,'

Then Moses said, “I am with 600,000 people, and you have said, 'I will give them meat to eat for a whole month.'

22 Je, tutayachinja haya makundi ya ng'ombe na kondoo ili kuwatosheleza?”

Should we kill flocks and herds to satisfy them? Should we catch all the fish in the sea to satisfy them?”

23 BWANA akasema na Musa, “Je mkono wangu ni mfupi? Sasa utaona kama maneno yangu ni ya kweli ama sivyo.

Yahweh said to Moses, “Is my hand short? Now you will see whether or not my word is true.”

24 Musa alitoka nje kwenda kuwaambia watu maneno ya BWANA. Aliwakusanya wazee sabini wa watu na kuwaweka kuizunguka hema.

Moses went out and told the people Yahweh's words. He gathered seventy of the people's elders and positioned them around the tent.

25 BWANA akashuka chini katika wingu akaongea na Musa. BWANA akachukua sehemu ya roho iliyokuwa kwa Musa na kuiweka kwa wale wazee sabini. Roho alipowashukia, wakaanza kutoa unabii, lakini ilitokea kwenye tukio hilo tu na haikujirudia tena.

Yahweh came down in the cloud and spoke to Moses. Yahweh took some of the Spirit that was on Moses and put it on the seventy elders. When the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied, but only on that occasion and not again.

26 Watu wawili waitwao Elidadi na Medadi walibaki kambini. Lakini Roho aliwashukia pia. Majina yao yalikuwa yameandikwa kwenye orodha lakini walikuwa hawajaenda hemani. Hata hivyo nao walitoa unabii wakiwa kambini.

Two men remained in the camp, named Eldad and Medad. The Spirit also rested on them. Their names were written on the list, but they had not gone out to the tent. Nevertheless, they prophesied in the camp.

27 Kijana mmoja huko kambini alikimbia akaenda kumwambia Musa, “Elidadi na Medadi wanatoa unabii kambini.”

A young man in the camp ran and told Moses, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.”

28 Joshua mwana wa Nuni, msaidizi wa Musa, ambaye ni miongoni mwa wale aliowachagua akamwambia Musa, “Bwana wangu Musa, wazuie.”

Joshua son of Nun, Moses' assistant, one of his chosen men, said to Moses, “My master Moses, stop them.”

29 Musa akamwambia, “una wivu kwa niaba yangu? Natamani kama watu wote wa BWANA wangekuwa manabii na kwamba angeweka Roho yake juu yao wote!”

Moses said to him, “Are you jealous for my sake? I wish that all of Yahweh's people were prophets and that he would put his Spirit on them all!”

30 Kisha Musa na wale wazee wakarudi kambini.

Then Moses and the elders of Israel went back to the camp.

31 Kisha upepo ukavuma kutoka kwa BWANA ukaja na kware kutokea baharini. Wakaanguka karibu na kambi, kiasi cha umbali wa safari ya siku moja upande huu na umbali wa siku moja upande mwingine. Wale kware wakaizunguka kambi kiasi cha mita moja toka uso wa dunia.

Then a wind came from Yahweh and brought quail from the sea. They fell near the camp, about a day's journey on one side and a day's journey on the other side. The quail surrounded the camp about two cubits above the ground.

32 Watu wakawakusanya hao kware kwa bidii mchana huo wote na usiku huo wote, na mchana wote uliofuatia. Hakuna aliyekusanya pungufu ya mita mbili za uajazo. Wakawaanika kweye ardhi yote hapo kambini.

The people were busy gathering quail all that day, all the night, and all the next day. No one gathered less than ten homers of quail. They shared the quail all through the camp.

33 Wakati ile nyama ikiwa bado iko kwenye meno yao, wakiwa bado wanatafuna, BWANA akawakasirikia. Akwapiga watu wale kwa gonjwa kubwa sana.

While the meat was still between their teeth, while they were chewing it, Yahweh became angry at them. He attacked the people with a very great disease.

34 Mahali pale paliitwa Kibroti Hataava, kwa sababu pale walizika watu waliotamani nyama.

That place was named Kibroth Hattaavah, because there they buried the people who had craved meat.

35 Kutoka Kibroti Hataava watu wakasafiri hadi Hazeroti, ambapo walipumzika.

From Kibroth Hattaavah the people traveled to Hazeroth, where they stayed.
