Números 11

Te Amuamu i roto i te Koraha

1 Ā, ka tāki amuamu te iwi, ka kōrero kino ki ngā taringa o Ihowā; ā, nō te rongonga o Ihowā, ka mura tōna riri. Ā, ka kā te ahi a Ihowā i roto i a rātou, ā, pau ake te hunga i ngā pito ki waho o te puni. 2 Nā, ka tangi te iwi ki a Mohi; ā, ka īnoi a Mohi ki a Ihowā, nā, ka mate te ahi. 3 Ā, huaina iho te ingoa o tēnā wāhi ko Tapera; nō te kānga hoki o te ahi a Ihowā i roto i a rātou.

4 Nā, ka minamina ngā whakauru i roto i a rātou; me ngā tama hoki a Īharaira i tangi anō, i mea, "Mā wai e hōmai he kikokiko hei kai mā tātou? 5 E mahara ana tātou ki ngā ika i kainga noatia e tātou ki Īhipa; ki ngā kūkamo, ki ngā merengi, ki ngā rīki, ki ngā aniana, me te karika. 6 Ko tēnei ia, kua maroke ō tātou wairua; kāhore rawa nei tētahi mea; kāhore he mea kē hei tirohanga mā tātou ko tēnei mana anake."

7 Nā, ko te rite o te mana kei te pua korianara; ko tōna kara kei te kara teriuma. 8 I kōpikopiko te iwi ki te kohi, ā, hurihia ana e rātou ki ngā mira, i tukia rānei ki te kumete, ā, tunua ana e rātou ki te kōhua, hangā ana hoki hei keke; ko tōna reka kei tō te hinu hou. 9 Ā, i te taunga iho o te haunui ki te puni i te pō, i tau anō te mana ki runga.

10 Ā, i rongo a Mohi i te iwi e tangi ana, puta noa i ō rātou hapū, tēnei, tēnei, i te whatitoka o tōna tēneti; ā, he nui te muranga o te riri o Ihowā; ā, i kino hoki ki tā Mohi. 11 Nā, ka mea a Mohi ki a Ihowā, "He aha koe i whakatupu kino ai i tāu pononga? He aha ahau tē manakohia ai e koe, i whakawahā ai e koe tēnei iwi katoa ki ahau? 12 He uri ianei nōku tēnei iwi katoa? I whānau rānei rātou i ahau, i mea ai koe ki ahau, ‘Hikitia ki tōu uma, kia rite ki tā te matua atawhai, ki tāna hiki i te pōtiki,’ ki te whenua i oatitia e koe ki ō rātou mātua? 13 Nō hea aku kikokiko hei hoatutanga māku ki tēnei iwi katoa? E tangi mai ana hoki rātou ki ahau, e mea mai ana, ‘Hōmai he kikokiko ki a mātou hei kai mā mātou.’ 14 E kore tēnei iwi katoa e taea e ahau anake te waha, he taimaha rawa māku. 15 Ā, ki te pēnei tāu mahi ki ahau, tēnā, whakamatea rawatia ahau, ki te mea kua manakohia mai ahau e koe; kaua hoki ahau e kite i te hē mōku."

Ngā Kaumātua Tokowhitu Tekau

16 Nā, ka mea a Ihowā ki a Mohi: "Huihuia mai ki ahau kia whitu tekau o ngā kaumātua o Īharaira, āu i mōhio ai he kaumātua nō te iwi, he rangatira nō rātou; me kawe mai rātou ki te tapenākara o te whakaminenga, me tū tahi koutou ki reira. 17 Ā, māku e haere iho, e kōrero ki a koe ki reira; me tango anō e ahau tētahi wāhi o te wairua i runga i a koe, ka hoatu ki runga ki a rātou; ā, ko rātou hei hoa mōu ki te waha i te pīkaunga, arā i te iwi; kei waha e koe anake.

18 "Me kī atu hoki e koe ki te iwi: ‘Whakatapu i a koutou mō āpōpō, ā, ka kai kikokiko koutou. Kua tangi nā hoki koutou ki ngā taringa o Ihowā, kua mea, "Mā wai e hōmai he kikokiko hei kai mā mātou? He pai hoki ngā mea i a mātou i Īhipa." Mō reira ka hōmai e Ihowā he kikokiko ki a koutou, ā, ka kai koutou. 19 E kore e kotahi te rā e kai ai koutou, e kore anō hoki e rua ngā rā, e kore e rima ngā rā, e kore e tekau ngā rā, e kore e rua tekau ngā rā; 20 engari, kia pau te marama, ā, puta noa i ō koutou ihu, ā, ngaruru iho koutou. Mō koutou i whakahāwea ki a Ihowā e noho nei i waenganui i a koutou, i tangi hoki ki tōna aroaro, i mea, "He aha tātou i haere mai ai i Īhipa?" ’

21 "Ko te iwi kei roto nei ahau i a rātou e ono rau mano, he hunga haere raro, ā, kua mea mai nei koe, ‘Ka hoatu e ahau he kikokiko ki a rātou, ā, kia kotahi tino marama e kai ai rātou.’ 22 Me patu rānei ngā hipi me ngā kau mā rātou, kia rato ai rātou? Me kohi mai rānei ngā ika katoa o te moana mā rātou, kia rato ai rātou?"

23 Anō rā ko Ihowā ki a Mohi, "Kua mutua rānei te ringa o Ihowā? Ka kite koe āianei he pono rānei tāku kupu ki a koe, kāhore rānei."

24 Nā, ka puta a Mohi ki waho, ā, kōrerotia ana e ia ngā kupu a Ihowā ki te iwi, ā, huihuia ana e ia e whitu tekau o ngā kaumātua o te iwi, ā, whakatūria ana ki tētahi taha, ki tētahi taha o te tapenākara. 25 Nā, ko te hekenga iho o Ihowā i roto i te kapua, ko te kōrerotanga hoki ki a ia, nā, ka tangohia e ia tētahi wāhi o te wairua i runga i a ia, ā, hoatu ana ki ngā kaumātua e whitu tekau. Ā, i te taunga iho o te wairua ki a rātou, ka poropiti rātou, ā, kore ake i pērā i muri.

26 Ā, tokorua i mahue ki te puni, ko Ererara te ingoa o tētahi, ko Merara te ingoa o tētahi. Nā, ko te taunga iho o te wairua ki runga ki a rāua; nō te hunga hoki rāua i tuhituhia, otiia kīhai i haere ki te tapenākara; nā, ka poropiti rāua i roto i te puni. 27 Nā, ka oma tētahi taitama ki te kōrero ki a Mohi, ā, ka mea, "Kei te poropiti a Ererara rāua ko Merara i roto i te puni."

28 Nā, ko te ohonga o te tangata a Mohi, o Hohua tama a Nunu, ko tētahi hoki ia o āna taitamariki, ka mea, "E tōku ariki, e Mohi, rīria rāua."

29 Anō rā ko Mohi ki a ia, "He whakaaro ki ahau i hae ai koe? He oranga ngākau rā me i poropiti katoa te iwi o Ihowā, me i tukua iho hoki e Ihowā tōna wairua ki a rātou." 30 Nā, ka haere a Mohi ki roto ki te puni, ā, ia me ngā kaumātua o Īharaira.

Ngā Koitareke

31 Nā, ka puta he hau i a Ihowā, ā, kawea ana mai ngā koitareke i te moana, kua makā ki te taha o te puni, kia kotahi pea te rā e haere ai i tētahi taha, kia kotahi pea hoki te rā e haere ai i tērā taha, ā tawhio noa te puni, me te mea ānō e rua whatīanga te teitei i runga i te mata o te whenua. 32 Nā, ka tū te iwi ā pau katoa taua rā, taua pō katoa hoki, me te rā katoa hoki i te aonga ake, ki te kohikohi i ngā koitareke; kotahi tekau ngā homa a te tangata nāna te kohinga iti. Ā, horahorangia noatia atu ana e rātou hei kai mā rātou, ā tawhio noa te puni. 33 Ā, i te mea kei ō rātou niho anō te kikokiko, i te mea kāhore anō i ngaua noatia, nā, ka mura te riri o Ihowā ki te iwi, ā, whiua ana te iwi e Ihowā ki tētahi whiu nui rawa atu. 34 Nā, huaina iho e ia te ingoa o taua wāhi ko Kipiroto Hataawa; nō te mea i tanumia e rātou ki reira te hunga i minamina.

35 Nā, ka tūria atu e te iwi i Kipiroto Hataawa ki Hateroto; ā, noho ana i Hateroto.

1 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 uttermost part of the camp. 2 And the people cried unto Moses; and Moses prayed unto Jehovah, and the fire abated. 3 And the name of that place was called Taberah, because the fire of Jehovah burnt among them.

4 And the mixed multitude that was among them lusted exceedingly: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat? 5 We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt for nought; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic: 6 but now our soul is dried away; there is nothing at all save this manna to look upon. 7 And the manna was like coriander seed, and the appearance thereof as the appearance of bdellium. 8 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 And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it.

10 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 And Moses said unto Jehovah, Wherefore hast thou dealt ill with thy servant? and wherefore have I not found favor in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me? 12 Have I conceived all this people? have I brought them forth, that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing-father carrieth the sucking child, unto the land which thou swarest unto their fathers? 13 Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat. 14 I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me. 15 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 And Jehovah said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them unto the tent of meeting, that they may stand there with thee. 17 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 bear it not thyself alone. 18 And say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against to-morrow, 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 Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days, 20 but a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you; because that ye have rejected Jehovah who is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt? 21 And Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand footmen; and thou hast said, I will give them flesh, that they may eat a whole month. 22 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 And Jehovah said unto Moses, Is Jehovah’s hand waxed short? now shalt thou see whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not.

24 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 And Jehovah came down in the cloud, and spake unto 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 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 them that were written, but had not gone out unto the Tent; and they prophesied in the camp. 27 And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp. 28 And Joshua the son of Nun, the minister of Moses, one of his chosen men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them. 29 And Moses said unto him, Art thou jealous for my sake? would that all Jehovah’s people were prophets, that Jehovah would put his Spirit upon them! 30 And Moses gat him into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.

31 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 And the people rose up all that day, and all the night, and all the next day, and gathered the quails: he that gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread them all abroad for themselves round about the camp. 33 While the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the anger of Jehovah was kindled against the people, and Jehovah smote the people with a very great plague. 34 And the name of that place was called Kibroth-hattaavah, because there they buried the people that lusted. 35 From Kibroth-hattaavah the people journeyed unto Hazeroth; and they abode at Hazeroth.
