民数记 11
1 众百姓发怨言，他们的恶语达到耶和华的耳中。耶和华听见了就怒气发作，使火在他们中间焚烧，直烧到营的边界。
The people were complaining in the ears of the LORD. When the LORD heard it, his anger burned; and the LORD’s fire burned among them, and consumed some of the outskirts of the camp.
2 百姓向摩西哀求，摩西祈求耶和华，火就熄了。
The people cried to Moses; and Moses prayed to the LORD, and the fire abated.
3 那地方便叫做他备拉，因为耶和华的火烧在他们中间。
The name of that place was called Taberah, because the LORD’s fire burned among them.
4 他们中间的闲杂人大起贪欲的心；以色列人又哭号说：“谁给我们肉吃呢？
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 我们记得，在埃及的时候不花钱就吃鱼，也记得有黄瓜、西瓜、韭菜、葱、蒜。
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 现在我们的心血枯竭了，除这吗哪以外，在我们眼前并没有别的东西。”
but now we have lost our appetite. There is nothing at all except this manna to look at.”
7 这吗哪仿佛芫荽子，又好像珍珠。
The manna was like coriander seed, and it looked like bdellium.
8 百姓周围行走，把吗哪收起来，或用磨推，或用臼捣，煮在锅中，又做成饼，滋味好像新油。
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 夜间露水降在营中，吗哪也随着降下。）
When the dew fell on the camp in the night, the manna fell on it.
10 摩西听见百姓各在各家的帐棚门口哭号。耶和华的怒气便大发作，摩西就不喜悦。
Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, every man at the door of his tent; and the LORD’s anger burned greatly; and Moses was displeased.
11 摩西对耶和华说：“你为何苦待仆人？我为何不在你眼前蒙恩，竟把这管理百姓的重任加在我身上呢？
Moses said to the LORD, “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 这百姓岂是我怀的胎，岂是我生下来的呢？你竟对我说：‘把他们抱在怀里，如养育之父抱吃奶的孩子，直抱到你起誓应许给他们祖宗的地去。’
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 我从哪里得肉给这百姓吃呢？他们都向我哭号说：‘你给我们肉吃吧！’
Where could I get meat to give all these people? For they weep before me, saying, ‘Give us meat, that we may eat.’
14 管理这百姓的责任太重了，我独自担当不起。
I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.
15 你这样待我，我若在你眼前蒙恩，求你立时将我杀了，不叫我见自己的苦情。”
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 耶和华对摩西说：“你从以色列的长老中招聚七十个人，就是你所知道作百姓的长老和官长的，到我这里来，领他们到会幕前，使他们和你一同站立。
The LORD 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 我要在那里降临，与你说话，也要把降于你身上的灵分赐他们，他们就和你同当这管百姓的重任，免得你独自担当。
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 又要对百姓说：‘你们应当自洁，预备明天吃肉，因为你们哭号说：谁给我们肉吃！我们在埃及很好。这声音达到了耶和华的耳中，所以他必给你们肉吃。
“Say to the people, ‘Sanctify yourselves in preparation for tomorrow, and you will eat meat; for you have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying, “Who will give us meat to eat? For it was well with us in Egypt.” Therefore the LORD will give you meat, and you will eat.
19 你们不止吃一天、两天、五天、十天、二十天，
You will not eat just one day, or two days, or five days, or ten days, or twenty days,
20 要吃一个整月，甚至肉从你们鼻孔里喷出来，使你们厌恶了，因为你们厌弃住在你们中间的耶和华，在他面前哭号说：我们为何出了埃及呢！’”
but a whole month, until it comes out at your nostrils, and it is loathsome to you; because you have rejected the LORD who is among you, and have wept before him, saying, “Why did we come out of Egypt?”’”
21 摩西对耶和华说：“这与我同住的百姓、步行的男人有六十万，你还说：‘我要把肉给他们，使他们可以吃一个整月。’
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 难道给他们宰了羊群牛群，或是把海中所有的鱼都聚了来，就够他们吃吗？”
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 耶和华对摩西说：“耶和华的膀臂岂是缩短了吗？现在要看我的话向你应验不应验。”
The LORD said to Moses, “Has the LORD’s hand grown short? Now you will see whether my word will happen to you or not.”
24 摩西出去，将耶和华的话告诉百姓，又招聚百姓的长老中七十个人来，使他们站在会幕的四围。
Moses went out, and told the people the LORD’s words; and he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them around the Tent.
25 耶和华在云中降临，对摩西说话，把降与他身上的灵分赐那七十个长老。灵停在他们身上的时候，他们就受感说话，以后却没有再说。
The LORD 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 但有两个人仍在营里，一个名叫伊利达，一个名叫米达。他们本是在那些被录的人中，却没有到会幕那里去。灵停在他们身上，他们就在营里说预言。
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 有个少年人跑来告诉摩西说：“伊利达、米达在营里说预言。”
A young man ran, and told Moses, and said, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp!”
28 摩西的帮手，嫩的儿子约书亚，就是摩西所拣选的一个人，说：“请我主摩西禁止他们。”
Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his chosen men, answered, “My lord Moses, forbid them!”
29 摩西对他说：“你为我的缘故嫉妒人吗？惟愿耶和华的百姓都受感说话！愿耶和华把他的灵降在他们身上！”
Moses said to him, “Are you jealous for my sake? I wish that all the LORD’s people were prophets, that the LORD would put his Spirit on them!”
30 于是，摩西和以色列的长老都回到营里去。
Moses went into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
31 有风从耶和华那里刮起，把鹌鹑由海面刮来，飞散在营边和营的四围；这边约有一天的路程，那边约有一天的路程，离地面约有二肘。
A wind from the LORD 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 above the surface of the earth.
32 百姓起来，终日终夜，并次日一整天，捕取鹌鹑；至少的也取了十贺梅珥，为自己摆列在营的四围。
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; and they spread them all out for themselves around the camp.
33 肉在他们牙齿之间尚未嚼烂，耶和华的怒气就向他们发作，用最重的灾殃击杀了他们。
While the meat was still between their teeth, before it was chewed, the LORD’s anger burned against the people, and the LORD struck the people with a very great plague.
34 那地方便叫做基博罗·哈他瓦，因为他们在那里葬埋那起贪欲之心的人。
The name of that place was called Kibroth Hattaavah, because there they buried the people who lusted.
35 百姓从基博罗·哈他瓦走到哈洗录，就住在哈洗录。
From Kibroth Hattaavah the people traveled to Hazeroth; and they stayed at Hazeroth.
