< Numbers 11 >

1 And the people were as murmurers, [speaking] evil in the ears of the LORD: and when the LORD heard it, his anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among them, and devoured in the uttermost part of the camp.
E aconteceu que, queixando-se o povo, era mal aos ouvidos do Senhor; porque o Senhor ouviu-o, e a sua ira se acendeu, e o fogo do Senhor ardeu entre eles, e consumiu os que estavam na última parte do arraial.
2 And the people cried unto Moses; and Moses prayed unto the LORD, and the fire abated.
Então o povo clamou a Moisés, e Moisés orou ao Senhor, e o fogo se apagou.
3 And the name of that place was called Taberah: because the fire of the LORD burnt among them.
Pelo que chamou aquele lugar Tabera, porquanto o fogo do Senhor se acendera entre eles.
4 And the mixed multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
E o vulgo, que estava no meio deles, veio a ter grande desejo: pelo que os filhos de Israel tornaram a chorar, e disseram: Quem nos dará carne a comer?
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 garlick:
Lembramo-nos dos peixes que no Egito comiamos de graça; e dos pepinos, e dos melões, e dos pórros, e das cebolas, e dos alhos.
6 but now our soul is dried away; there is nothing at all: we have nought save this manna to look to.
Mas agora a nossa alma se seca; coisa nenhuma há senão este maná diante dos nossos olhos.
7 And the manna was like coriander seed, and the appearance thereof as the appearance of bdellium.
E era o maná como semente de coentro, e a sua cor como a cor de bdélio.
8 The people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in mortars, and seethed it in pots, and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil.
Espalhava-se o povo, e o colhia, e em moinhos o moia, ou num gral o pizava, e em panelas o cozia, e dele fazia bolos: e o seu sabor era como o sabor de azeite fresco.
9 And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it.
E, quando o orvalho descia de noite sobre o arraial, o maná descia sobre ele.
10 And Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, every man at the door of his tent: and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly; and Moses was displeased.
Então Moisés ouviu chorar o povo pelas suas famílias, cada qual à porta da sua tenda: e a ira do Senhor grandemente se acendeu, e pareceu mal aos olhos de Moisés.
11 And Moses said unto the LORD, Wherefore hast thou evil entreated thy servant? and wherefore have I not found favour in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?
E disse Moisés ao Senhor: Porque fizeste mal a teu servo, e porque não achei graça aos teus olhos; que pusesses sobre mim o cargo de todo este povo?
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?
Concebi eu porventura todo este povo? pari-o eu? que me dissesses: leva-o ao teu colo, como o aio leva o que cria, à terra que juraste a seus pais?
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.
De onde teria eu carne para dar a todo este povo? porquanto contra mim choram, dizendo: Dá-nos carne a comer:
14 I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.
Eu só não posso levar a todo este povo, porque muito pesado é para mim.
15 And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favour in thy sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.
E se assim fazes comigo, mata-me eu to peço, se tenho achado graça aos teus olhos, e não me deixes ver o meu mal.
16 And the LORD 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.
E disse o Senhor a Moisés: Ajunta-me setenta homens dos anciãos de Israel, de quem sabes que são anciãos do povo, e seus oficiais: e os trarás perante a tenda da congregação, e ali se porão contigo
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.
Então eu descerei e ali falarei contigo, e tirarei do espírito que está sobre ti, e o porei sobre eles: e contigo levarão o cargo do povo, para que tu só o não leves.
18 And say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against tomorrow, and ye shall eat flesh: for ye have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt: therefore the LORD will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.
E dirás ao povo: santificai-vos para amanhã, e comereis carne: porquanto chorastes aos ouvidos do Senhor, dizendo: Quem nos dará carne a comer? pois bem nos ia no Egito: pelo que o Senhor vos dará carne, e comereis:
19 Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days;
Não comereis um dia, nem dois dias, nem cinco dias, nem dez dias, nem vinte dias;
20 but a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you: because that ye have rejected the LORD which is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?
Até um mês inteiro, até vos sair pelos narizes, até que vos enfastieis dela: porquanto rejeitastes ao Senhor, que está no meio de vós, e chorastes diante dele, dizendo: Porque saímos do Egito?
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.
E disse Moisés: Seiscentos mil homens de pé é este povo, no meio do qual estou: e tu tens dito: dar-lhes-ei carne, e comerão um mês inteiro.
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?
Degolar-se-ão para eles ovelhas e vacas, que lhes bastem? ou ajuntar-se-ão para eles todos os peixes do mar, que lhes bastem?
23 And the LORD said unto Moses, Is the LORD’S hand waxed short? now shalt thou see whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not.
Porém o Senhor disse a Moisés: Seria pois encurtada a mão do Senhor? agora verás se a minha palavra te acontecerá ou não.
24 And Moses went out, and told the people the words of the LORD: and he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them round about the Tent.
E saiu Moisés, e falou as palavras do Senhor ao povo, e ajuntou setenta homens dos anciãos do povo e os pôs de roda da tenda.
25 And the LORD 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.
Então o Senhor desceu na nuvem, e lhe falou; e, tirando do espírito, que estava sobre ele, o pôs sobre aqueles setenta anciãos: e aconteceu que, assim como o espírito repousou sobre eles, profetizaram; mas depois nunca mais.
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.
Porém no arraial ficaram dois homens; o nome dum era Eldad, e o nome do outro Medad; e repousou sobre eles o espírito (porquanto estavam entre os escritos, ainda que não sairam à tenda), e profetizavam no arraial.
27 And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp.
Então correu um moço, e o anunciou a Moisés, e disse: Eldad e Medad profetizam no arraial.
28 And Joshua the son of Nun, the minister of Moses, one of his chosen men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them.
E Josué, filho de Nun, servidor de Moisés, um dos seus mancebos escolhidos, respondeu, e disse: Senhor meu, Moisés, proíbe-lho.
29 And Moses said unto him, Art thou jealous for my sake? would God that all the LORD’S people were prophets, that the LORD would put his spirit upon them!
Porém Moisés lhe disse: Tens tu ciúmes por mim? Oxalá que todo o povo do Senhor fosse profeta, que o Senhor desse o seu espírito sobre ele!
30 And Moses gat him into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
Depois Moisés se recolheu ao arraial, ele e os anciãos de Israel.
31 And there went forth a wind from the LORD, 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.
Então soprou um vento do Senhor, e trouxe codornizes do mar, e as espalhou pelo arraial quase caminho dum dia de uma banda, e quase caminho dum dia da outra banda, à roda do arraial; e estavam quase dois côvados sobre a terra.
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.
Então o povo se levantou todo aquele dia e toda aquela noite, e todo o dia seguinte, e colheram as codornizes; o que menos tinha, colhera dez homers; e as estenderam para si ao redor do arraial.
33 While the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the anger of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the LORD smote the people with a very great plague.
Quando a carne estava entre os seus dentes, antes que fosse mastigada, se acendeu a ira do Senhor contra o povo, e feriu o Senhor o povo com uma praga mui grande.
34 And the name of that place was called Kibroth-hattaavah: because there they buried the people that lusted.
Pelo que o nome daquele lugar se chamou Kibroth-hattaava porquanto ali enterraram o povo que teve o desejo.
35 From Kibroth-hattaavah the people journeyed unto Hazeroth; and they abode at Hazeroth.
De Kibroth-hattaava caminhou o povo para Hazaaroth, e pararam em Hazaaroth.
