Números 11

1 The people were complaining in the ears of Yahweh. When Yahweh heard it, his anger burned; and Yahweh’s fire burned among them, and consumed some of the outskirts of the camp. 2 The people cried to Moses; and Moses prayed to Yahweh, and the fire abated. 3 The name of that place was called Taberah,*11:3 Taberah means "burning" because Yahweh’s fire burned among them.

4 The mixed multitude that was among them lusted exceedingly; and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, "Who will give us meat to eat? 5 We remember the fish, which we ate in Egypt for nothing; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic; 6 but now we have lost our appetite. There is nothing at all except this manna to look at." 7 The manna was like coriander seed, and it looked like bdellium.*11:7 Bdellium is a resin extracted from certain African trees. 8 The people went around, gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in mortars, and boiled it in pots, and made cakes of it. Its taste was like the taste of fresh oil. 9 When the dew fell on the camp in the night, the manna fell on it.

10 Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, every man at the door of his tent; and Yahweh’s anger burned greatly; and Moses was displeased. 11 Moses said to Yahweh, "Why have you treated your servant so badly? Why haven’t I found favor in your sight, that you lay the burden of all this people on me? 12 Have I conceived all this people? Have I brought them out, that you should tell me, ‘Carry them in your bosom, as a nurse carries a nursing infant, to the land which you swore to their fathers’? 13 Where could I get meat to give all these people? For they weep before me, saying, ‘Give us meat, that we may eat.’ 14 I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me. 15 If you treat me this way, please kill me right now, if I have found favor in your sight; and don’t let me see my wretchedness."

16 Yahweh said to Moses, "Gather to me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people and officers over them; and bring them to the Tent of Meeting, that they may stand there with you. 17 I will come down and talk with you there. I will take of the Spirit which is on you, and will put it on them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, that you don’t bear it yourself alone.

18 "Say to the people, ‘Sanctify yourselves in preparation for tomorrow, and you will eat meat; for you have wept in the ears of Yahweh, saying, "Who will give us meat to eat? For it was well with us in Egypt." Therefore Yahweh will give you meat, and you will eat. 19 You will not eat just one day, or two days, or five days, or ten days, or twenty days, 20 but a whole month, until it comes out at your nostrils, and it is loathsome to you; because you have rejected Yahweh who is among you, and have wept before him, saying, "Why did we come out of Egypt?"’"

21 Moses said, "The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand men on foot; and you have said, ‘I will give them meat, that they may eat a whole month.’ 22 Shall flocks and herds be slaughtered for them, to be sufficient for them? Shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to be sufficient for them?"

23 Yahweh said to Moses, "Has Yahweh’s hand grown short? Now you will see whether my word will happen to you or not."

24 Moses went out, and told the people Yahweh’s words; and he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them around the Tent. 25 Yahweh came down in the cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the Spirit that was on him, and put it on the seventy elders. When the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied, but they did so no more. 26 But two men remained in the camp. The name of one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad; and the Spirit rested on them. They were of those who were written, but had not gone out to the Tent; and they prophesied in the camp. 27 A young man ran, and told Moses, and said, "Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp!"

28 Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his chosen men, answered, "My lord Moses, forbid them!"

29 Moses said to him, "Are you jealous for my sake? I wish that all Yahweh’s people were prophets, that Yahweh would put his Spirit on them!"

30 Moses went into the camp, he and the elders of Israel. 31 A wind from Yahweh went out 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, around the camp, and about two cubits*11:31 A cubit is the length from the tip of the middle finger to the elbow on a man’s arm, or about 18 inches or 46 centimeters. above the surface of the earth. 32 The people rose up all that day, and all of that night, and all the next day, and gathered the quails. He who gathered least gathered ten homers;*11:32 1 homer is about 220 liters or 6 bushels and they spread them all out for themselves around the camp. 33 While the meat was still between their teeth, before it was chewed, Yahweh’s anger burned against the people, and Yahweh struck the people with a very great plague. 34 The name of that place was called Kibroth Hattaavah,*11:34 Kibroth Hattaavah means "graves of lust" because there they buried the people who lusted.

35 From Kibroth Hattaavah the people traveled to Hazeroth; and they stayed at Hazeroth.

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.
