< Numbers 11 >

1 Yn the meene tyme the grutchyng of the puple, as of men sorewynge for trauel, roos ayens the Lord. And whanne Moises hadde herd this thing, he was wrooth; and the fier of the Lord was kyndelid on hem, and deuouride the laste part of the tentis.
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。
2 And whanne the puple hadde cried to Moises, Moises preiede the Lord, and the fier was quenchid.
百姓向摩西哀求,摩西祈求耶和华,火就熄了。
3 And he clepid the name of that place Brennyng, for the fier of the Lord was kyndlid ayens hem.
那地方便叫做他备拉,因为耶和华的火烧在他们中间。
4 And the comyn puple of `malis and femalis, that hadde stied with hem, brent with desire of fleischis, and sat, and wepte with the sones of Israel ioyned togidere to hem, and seide, Who schal yyue to vs fleischis to ete?
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?
5 We thenken on the fischis whiche we eten in Egipt freli; gourdis, and melouns, and lekis, and oyniouns, and garlekis comen in to mynde `to vs;
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。
6 oure soule is drie; oure iyen byholden noon other thing `no but manna.
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。”
7 Forsothe manna was as the seed of coriaundre, of the colour of bdellyum, which is whijt and briyt as cristal.
这吗哪仿佛芫荽子,又好像珍珠。
8 And the puple yede aboute, and gaderide it, and brak with a queerne stoon, ether pownede in a morter, and sethide in a pot; and made therof litle cakis of the sauour, as of breed maad with oile.
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。
9 And whanne dew cam doun in the niyt on the tentis, also manna cam doun togidere.
夜间露水降在营中,吗哪也随着降下。)
10 Therfor Moises herde the puple wepynge bi meynees, and `alle bi hem silf bi the doris of her tentis; and the woodnesse of the Lord was wrooth greetli, but also the thing was seyn vnsuffrable to Moises.
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。
11 And he seide to the Lord, Whi hast thou turmentid thi seruaunt? whi fynde Y not grace bifor thee? and whi hast thou put on me the burthun of al this puple?
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?
12 whethir Y conseyuede al this multitude, ethir gendride it, that thou seie to me, Bere thou hem in thi bosum as a nurise is wont to bere a litil yong child, and bere thou in to the lond for which thou hast swore to the fadris `of hem.
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。’
13 wherof ben fleischis to me, that Y `yyue to so greet multitude? Thei wepen bifore me, and seyn, `Yyue thou fleischis to vs that we ete;
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!’
14 I mai not aloone suffre al this puple, for it is greuouse to me.
管理这百姓的责任太重了,我独自担当不起。
15 If in other maner it semeth to thee, Y biseche that thou sle me, and that Y fynde grace in thin iyen, that Y be not punyschid bi so grete yuelis.
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。”
16 And the Lord seide to Moises, Gadere thou to me seuenti men of the eldre men of Israel, whiche thou knowist, `that thei ben the elde men and maistris of the puple; and thou schalt lede hem to the dore of the tabernacle of boond of pees, and thou schalt make to stonde there with thee,
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。
17 that Y come doun, and speke to thee; and Y schal take awey of thi spirit, and Y schal yyue to hem, that thei susteyne with thee the birthun of the puple, and not thou aloone be greuyd.
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。
18 And thou schalt seie to the puple, Be ye halewid; to morew ye schulen ete fleischis; for Y herde you seie, Who schal yyue to vs the metis of fleischis? it was wel to vs in Egipt; that the Lord yyue `fleischis to you,
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。
19 and that ye ete not o dai, ethir tweyne, ethir fyue, ethir ten, sotheli nether twenti,
你们不止吃一天、两天、五天、十天、二十天,
20 but `til to a monethe of daies, til it go out bi youre nosethirlis, and turne in to wlatyng; for ye han put awei the Lord, which is in the myddis of you, and ye wepten bifor hym, and seiden, Whi yeden we out of Egipt?
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!’”
21 And Moises seide to the Lord, Sixe hundrid thousynde of foot men ben of this puple, and thou seist, Y schal yyue to hem `mete of fleischis an hool monethe.
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。’
22 Whether the multitude of scheep and of oxun schal be slayn, that it may suffice to mete, ethir alle the fischis of the see schulen be gaderid to gidere, that tho fille hem?
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?”
23 To whom the Lord answeride, Whether the `hond of the Lord is vnmyyti? riyt now thou schalt se, wher my word schal be fillid in werk.
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。”
24 Therfor Moises cam, and telde to the puple the wordis of the Lord; and he gaderide seuenti men of the eldere of Israel, whiche he made stonde aboute the tabernacle.
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。
25 And the Lord cam doun bi a cloude, and spak to Moises, and took a weye of the spirit that was in Moises, and yaf to the seuenti men; and whanne the spirit hadde restid in hem, thei profesieden, and ceessiden not `aftirward.
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。
26 Forsothe twei men dwelliden stille in the tentis, of whiche men oon was clepid Heldad, and the tothir Medad, on whiche the spirit restide; for also thei weren descryued, and thei yeden not out to the tabernacle.
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。
27 And whanne thei profesieden in the tentis, a child ran, and teld to Moises, and seide, Heldad and Medad profecien in the tentis.
有个少年人跑来告诉摩西说:“伊利达、米达在营里说预言。”
28 Anoon Josue, the sone of Nun, the `mynystre of Moises, and chosun of manye, seide, My lord Moises, forbede thou hem.
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。”
29 And he seide, What hast thou enuye for me? who yyueth that al the puple profesie, and that God yyue his spirit to hem?
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!”
30 And Moises turnede ayen, and the eldre men in birthe of Israel in to the tentis.
于是,摩西和以色列的长老都回到营里去。
31 Forsothe a wynde yede forth fro the Lord, and took curlewis, and bar ouer the see, and lefte in to the tentis, in the iurney, as myche as mai be parformed in o day, bi ech part of the tentis bi cumpas; and tho flowen in the eir bi twei cubitis in `hiynesse ouer the erthe.
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。
32 Therfor the puple roos in al that dai and nyyt and in to the tothir dai, and gaderide the multitude of curlewis; he that gaderide litil, gaderide ten `mesuris clepid chorus; `and o chorus conteyneth ten buschels; and thei drieden tho curlewis bi the cumpas of the tentis.
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。
33 Yit `fleischis weren in the teeth `of hem, and siche mete failide not; and lo! the woodnesse of the Lord was reisid ayens the puple, and smoot it with a ful greet veniaunce.
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。
34 And thilke place was clepid The sepulcris of coueitise, for there thei birieden the puple that desiride fleischis.
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。
35 Sotheli thei yeden `out of the sepulcris of coueitise, and camen in to Asseroth, and dwelliden there.
百姓从基博罗·哈他瓦走到哈洗录,就住在哈洗录。
