< Numbers 11 >
1 Àwọn ènìyàn ń ṣe àròyé nípa wàhálà wọn sí etí ìgbọ́ Olúwa. Ìbínú Olúwa sì ru sókè nígbà tí ó gbọ́ àròyé yìí. Nígbà náà ni iná jáde láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa bọ́ sí àárín wọn, ó sì run àwọn tó wà ní òpin ibùdó.
Meanwhile, there arose a murmur among the people against the Lord, as if they were grief-stricken because of their labors. And when the Lord had heard it, he was angry. And when the fire of the Lord was enflamed against them, it devoured those who were at the extreme end of the camp.
2 Nígbà náà ni àwọn ènìyàn kígbe sí Mose, Mose sì gbàdúrà sí Olúwa iná náà sì kú.
And when the people had cried out to Moses, Moses prayed to the Lord, and the fire was consumed.
3 Wọ́n sì ń pe ibẹ̀ ní Tabera nítorí pé, iná láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa jó láàrín wọn.
And he called the name of that place, ‘The Burning,’ because the fire of the Lord had burned against them.
4 Àwọn ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn aláìníláárí tó wà láàrín àwọn ọmọ Israẹli pẹ̀lú ọkàn ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ wọn fi ìtara béèrè fún oúnjẹ mìíràn, àwọn ọmọ Israẹli náà bá bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í sọkún wí pé, “Bí i pé kí á rí ẹran jẹ báyìí!
So then, the mix of common people, who had ascended with them, were enflamed with desire, and sitting and weeping, with the sons of Israel joining them, they said, “Who will give us flesh to eat?
5 Àwa rántí ẹja tí à ń jẹ lọ́fẹ̀ẹ́ ní Ejibiti, apálà, bàrà, ewébẹ̀, àlùbọ́sà àti àwọn ẹ̀fọ́ mìíràn.
We remember the fish that we ate freely in Egypt; we call to mind the cucumbers, and melons, and leeks, and onions, and garlic.
6 Ṣùgbọ́n báyìí gbogbo ara wa ti gbẹ, kò sí ohun mìíràn láti jẹ àfi manna nìkan tí a rí yìí!”
Our life is dry; our eyes look out to see nothing but manna.”
7 Manna náà dàbí èso korianderi, ìrísí rẹ̀ sì dàbí oje igi.
Now the manna was like coriander seed, but with the color of bdellium.
8 Àwọn ènìyàn náà ń lọ káàkiri láti kó o, wọn ó lọ̀ ọ́ lórí ọlọ tàbí kí wọ́n gún un nínú odó. Wọ́n le sè é nínú ìkòkò tàbí kí wọn ó fi ṣe àkàrà, adùn rẹ̀ yóò sì dàbí adùn ohun tí a fi òróró ṣe.
And the people wandered about, gathering it, and they crushed it with a millstone, or ground it with a mortar; then they boiled it in a pot, and made biscuits out of it, with a taste like bread made with oil.
9 Nígbà tí ìrì bá ẹ̀ sí ibùdó lórí ni manna náà máa ń bọ́ pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.
And when the dew descended in the night over the camp, the manna descended together with it.
10 Mose sì gbọ́ tí àwọn ènìyàn ń sọkún ní gbogbo ìdílé wọn, oníkálùkù ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgọ́ tirẹ̀. Olúwa sì bínú gidigidi. Inú Mose sì bàjẹ́ pẹ̀lú.
And so, Moses heard the people weeping by their families, each one at the door of his tent. And the fury of the Lord was greatly enflamed. And to Moses also the matter seemed intolerable.
11 Mose sì béèrè lọ́wọ́ Olúwa pé, “Kí ló dé tí o fi mú wàhálà yìí bá ìránṣẹ́ rẹ? Kí ni mo ṣe tí n kò fi tẹ ọ lọ́rùn tí ìwọ fi di ẹrù àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí lé mi lórí.
And so he said to the Lord: “Why have you afflicted your servant? Why do I not find favor before you? And why have you imposed the weight of this entire people upon me?
12 Èmi ni mo ha lóyún gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí bí? Àbí èmi ló bí wọn? Tí ìwọ fi sọ fún mi pé, máa gbé wọn sí oókan àyà rẹ, gẹ́gẹ́ bí abiyamọ ti máa ń gbe ọmọ ọmú lọ sí ilẹ̀ tí o ti búra láti fún àwọn baba ńlá wọn.
Could I have conceived this entire multitude, or have given birth to them, so that you might say to me: Carry them in your bosom, as a nursemaid usually carries a little infant, and bring them into the land, about which you have sworn to their fathers?
13 Níbo ni n ó ti rí ẹran fún àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí? Nítorí wọ́n ń sọkún sí mi pé, ‘Fún wa lẹ́ran jẹ́!’
From where would I obtain the flesh to give to so great a multitude? They weep against me, saying, ‘Give us flesh, so that we may eat.’
14 Èmi nìkan kò lè dágbé wàhálà àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí, ẹrù wọn ti wúwo jù fún mi.
I alone am unable to sustain this entire people, because it is too heavy for me.
15 Bí ó bá sì ṣe pé báyìí ni ìwọ ó ṣe máa ṣe fún mi, kúkú pa mí báyìí, tí mo bá ti bá ojúrere rẹ pàdé—kí ojú mi má ba à rí ìparun mi.”
But if it seems to you otherwise, I beg you to put me to death, and so may I find grace in your eyes, lest I be afflicted with such evils.”
16 Nígbà náà ni Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé, “Mú àádọ́rin ọkùnrin nínú àwọn àgbàgbà àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, àwọn tí o mọ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí olórí àti olóyè láàrín àwọn ènìyàn wá sínú àgọ́ ìpàdé, kí wọ́n lé dúró níwájú mi.
And the Lord said to Moses: “Gather to me seventy men from the elders of Israel, whom you know to be elders, as well as teachers, of the people. And you shall lead them to the door of the tabernacle of the covenant, and you shall cause them to stand there with you,
17 Èmi ó sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá bá yín sọ̀rọ̀ níbẹ̀. Èmi ó sì mú díẹ̀ nínú agbára Ẹ̀mí tí ń bẹ lára rẹ láti fi sí orí àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí. Wọn ó sì máa ràn ọ́ lọ́wọ́ láti ru àjàgà àwọn ènìyàn kí ó má ṣe pé ìwọ nìkan ni ó o máa ru àjàgà náà.
so that I may descend and speak to you. And I will take from your spirit, and I will deliver it to them, so that, with you, they may sustain the burden of the people, and so that you will not be weighed down alone.
18 “Sọ fún àwọn ènìyàn náà pé, ‘Ẹ ya ara yín sí mímọ́ ní ìmúrasílẹ̀ fún ọ̀la, ẹ ó sì jẹ ẹran. Nítorí pé Olúwa ti gbọ́ igbe ẹkún yín, èyí tí ẹ sun pé, “Ìbá ṣe pé a lè rí ẹran jẹ ni! Ó sàn fún wa ní Ejibiti jù báyìí lọ!” Nítorí náà ni Olúwa yóò fi fún yín ní ẹran, ẹ ó sì jẹ ẹ́.
You shall also say to the people: Be sanctified. Tomorrow you will eat flesh. For I have heard you say: ‘Who will give us flesh to eat? It was well with us in Egypt.’ So then, may the Lord give you flesh. And you will eat,
19 Ẹ kò ní i jẹ ẹ́ fún ọjọ́ kan, ọjọ́ méjì, ọjọ́ márùn-ún, ọjọ́ mẹ́wàá tàbí ogúnjọ́ lásán,
not for one day, nor for two, nor for five, nor for ten, nor even for twenty,
20 ṣùgbọ́n fún odidi oṣù kan, títí tí ẹran náà yóò fi máa yọ ní imú yín, tí yóò sì sú yín, nítorí pé ẹ ti kẹ́gàn Olúwa tí ó wà láàrín yín, ẹ sì ti sọkún fún un wí pé, “Kí ló dé tí a fi kúrò ní Ejibiti gan an?”’”
but for up to a month of days, until it exits from your nostrils, and until it turns into nausea for you, because you have slipped away from the Lord, who is in your midst, and because you have wept before him, saying: ‘Why did we go forth out of Egypt?’”
21 Ṣùgbọ́n Mose sọ pé, “Mo wà láàrín ọgbọ̀n ọ̀kẹ́ ènìyàn ni ìrìnkiri, ó sì sọ pé, ‘Èmi ó fún wọn ní ẹran láti jẹ fún oṣù kan gbáko!’
And Moses said: “There are six hundred thousand footmen of this people, and yet you say, ‘I will give them flesh to eat for a whole month.’
22 Ǹjẹ́ bí a tilẹ̀ pa àgbò ẹran àti ọmọ ẹran, yóò ha tó wọn bí? Tàbí bí a tilẹ̀ pa gbogbo ẹja inú omi fún wọn, yóò wa tó bí?”
Could a multitude of sheep and oxen be slain, so that there would be enough food? Or will the fishes of the sea be gathered together, in order to satisfy them?”
23 Olúwa sì dá Mose lóhùn pé, “Ọwọ́ Olúwa ha kúrú bí? Ìwọ yóò ri nísinsin yìí bóyá ọ̀rọ̀ tí mo sọ yóò ṣẹ tàbí kò ni í ṣẹ.”
And the Lord answered him: “Can the hand of the Lord be ineffective? Soon now, you shall see whether my word will be fulfilled in this work.”
24 Mose sì jáde, ó sọ ohun tí Olúwa wí fún àwọn ènìyàn. Ó mú àwọn àádọ́rin àgbàgbà Israẹli dúró yí àgọ́ ká.
And so, Moses went and explained the words of the Lord to the people. Gathering together seventy men from the elders of Israel, he caused them to stand around the tabernacle.
25 Nígbà náà ni Olúwa sọ̀kalẹ̀ nínú àwọ̀ sánmọ̀ ó sì bá wọn sọ̀rọ̀, ó sì mú lára Ẹ̀mí tó wà lára Mose sí ara àwọn àádọ́rin àgbàgbà náà, Ó sì ṣẹlẹ̀ pé nígbà tí Ẹ̀mí náà bà lé wọn, wọ́n sọtẹ́lẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n lẹ́yìn èyí wọn kò sọtẹ́lẹ̀ mọ́.
And the Lord descended in a cloud, and he spoke to him, taking from the Spirit which was in Moses, and giving to the seventy men. And when the Spirit had rested in them, they prophesied; nor did they cease afterwards.
26 Àwọn ọkùnrin méjì, tí orúkọ wọn ń jẹ́ Eldadi àti Medadi kò kúrò nínú àgọ́. Orúkọ wọn wà lára àádọ́rin àgbàgbà yìí ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò jáde nínú àgọ́ síbẹ̀ Ẹ̀mí náà bà lé wọn, wọ́n sì sọtẹ́lẹ̀ nínú àgọ́.
Now there had remained in the camp two of the men, of whom one was called Eldad, and the other Medad, upon whom the Spirit rested; for they also had been enrolled, but they did not go forth to the tabernacle.
27 Ọmọkùnrin kan sì sáré lọ sọ fún Mose pé, “Eldadi àti Medadi ń sọtẹ́lẹ̀ nínú àgọ́.”
And when they were prophesying in the camp, a boy ran and reported to Moses, saying: “Eldad and Medad prophesy in the camp.”
28 Joṣua ọmọ Nuni tí í ṣe ìránṣẹ́ Mose, láti kékeré tó jẹ́ ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ dáhùn pé, “Mose olúwa mi, dá wọn lẹ́kun!”
Promptly, Joshua the son of Nun, the minister of Moses and chosen from many, said: “My lord Moses, prohibit them.”
29 Mose sì wí fún un pé, “Àbí ìwọ ń jowú nítorí mi? Ìbá ti wù mí tó, kí gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn Olúwa jẹ́ wòlíì, kí Olúwa sì fi Ẹ̀mí rẹ̀ sí wọn lára!”
But he said, “Why are you jealous on my behalf? Who decides that any of the people may prophesy and that God may give to them his Spirit?”
30 Mose àti àwọn àgbàgbà Israẹli yìí sì padà sínú àgọ́.
And Moses returned, with those greater by birth of Israel, into the camp.
31 Afẹ́fẹ́ sì jáde láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa ó sì kó àparò wá láti inú Òkun. Ó sì dà wọ́n káàkiri gbogbo ibùdó ní ìwọ̀n gíga ẹsẹ̀ bàtà mẹ́ta sórí ilẹ̀, bí ìwọ̀n ìrìn ọjọ́ kan ní gbogbo àyíká.
Then a wind, going out from the Lord and moving forcefully across the sea, brought quails and cast them into the camp, across a distance of one day’s journey, in every part of the camp all around, and they flew in the air two cubits high above the ground.
32 Ní gbogbo ọjọ́ náà àti òru, títí dé ọjọ́ kejì ni àwọn ènìyàn fi ń kó àparò yìí, ẹni tó kó kéré jùlọ kó ìwọ̀n homeri mẹ́wàá, wọ́n sì ṣà wọ́n sílẹ̀ fún ara wọn yí gbogbo ibùdó.
Therefore, the people, rising up, gathered quails all that day and night, and the next day; he who did least well gathered ten homers. And they dried them throughout the camp.
33 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ẹran náà sì wà láàrín eyín wọn, kó tó di pé wọ́n jẹ ẹ́, ìbínú Olúwa sì ru sí àwọn ènìyàn, ó sì pa wọ́n pẹ̀lú àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn.
The flesh was still between their teeth, neither had this kind of food ceased, and behold, the fury of the Lord was provoked against the people, and he struck them with an exceedingly great scourge.
34 Torí èyí ni wọ́n ṣe pe ibẹ̀ ní Kibirotu-Hattaafa nítorí pé níbẹ̀ ni wọ́n gbé sìnkú àwọn ènìyàn tó ní ọ̀kánjúwà oúnjẹ sí.
And that place was called, ‘The Graves of Lust.’ For there, they buried the people who had desired.
35 Àwọn ènìyàn yòókù sì gbéra láti Kibirotu-Hattaafa lọ pa ibùdó sí Haserotu wọ́n sì dúró níbẹ̀.
Then, departing from the Graves of Lust, they arrived in Hazeroth, and they stayed there.
