1 Bet notika, ka tauta kurnēja Tam Kungam ausīs. Kad Tas Kungs to dzirdēja, tad Viņš iedegās dusmās, un Tā Kunga uguns iedegās kara nometnes stūros un tos rija. 2 Tad tauta kliedza uz Mozu, un viņš lūdza To Kungu, un uguns nodzisa. 3 Un to vietu sauca Tabēra , tāpēc ka tur starp viņiem bija iedegusies Tā Kunga uguns. 4 Un pulks visādu salašņu, kas bija viņu vidū, kļuva stipri kārīgi; tad arī Israēla bērni pēc sava bijušā paraduma sāka raudāt un vaimanāt: "Kas mums dos ēst gaļu? 5 Mēs atceramies tās zivis, ko mēs Ēģiptes zemē par velti ēdām, gurķus, melones, lokus, sīpolus un ķiplokus. 6 Tagad mūsu dvēsele ir pagalam iztvīkusi, jo nav nekā cita kā vien manna mūsu acu priekšā!" 7 Bet manna bija līdzīga koriandra sēklām, un tās spīdums bija kā berilija mirga. 8 Un ļaudis skrēja šurpu turpu un to salasīja; viņi to samala starp diviem akmeņiem vai sasmalcināja to, sagrūžot piestā, un vārīja to podos un cepa no tās plāceņus; bet tās smarža bija kā olīvkoku eļļas smarža. 9 Un, kad naktī pār nometni nokrita rasa, tad nokrita arī manna. 10 Un, kad nu Mozus dzirdēja tautu visās ģimenēs raudam, ikvienu savas telts priekšā, tad Tā Kunga dusmas iekvēlojās karsti, un arī Mozum tā lieta izlikās ļauna. 11 Un Mozus runāja ar To Kungu un sacīja: "Kāpēc Tu Savam kalpam esi sagādājis tādu grūtumu? Un kādēļ es neesmu atradis Tavās acīs žēlastību, ka Tu esi licis visas tautas nastu uz maniem pleciem? 12 Vai tad es esmu savās miesās iznesis visu šo tautu? Vai arī es būtu tos dzemdējis, ka Tu man saki: nes tos pie savas krūts, kā zīdītāja nes savu zīdāmo bērnu, uz zemi, ko ar zvērestu Es esmu apsolījis jūsu tēviem. 13 Kur lai es ņemu gaļu, ko šai tautai celt priekšā? Jo tie raud manā priekšā, sacīdami: dod mums ēst gaļu! 14 Es viens pats nevaru nest visu šo tautu, jo tas man ir pārāk smagi! 15 Un, ja Tu ar mani tā gribi darīt, tad labāk nokauj mani, ja es tikai esmu atradis žēlastību Tavās acīs, un neliec man ilgāk redzēt manu nelaimi!" 16 Un Tas Kungs sacīja Mozum: "Sapulcini Man septiņdesmit vīrus no Israēla vecaju vidus, par kuriem tu zini, ka tie ir tautas vecaji un viņu ierēdņi; un tad ved tos pie Saiešanas telts, un lai tur viņi nostājas kopā ar tevi. 17 Tad Es nonākšu un ar tevi tur runāšu, un no tā Gara, kāds ir tev, Es ņemšu un likšu to viņos, un viņiem būs nest kopā ar tevi tautas nastas, lai tev nav vienam pašam viss jānes. 18 Bet tautai saki: dariet sevi svētus rītdienai! Tad jūs ēdīsit gaļu, jo jūs esat Tā Kunga ausīs gaudušies, sacīdami: kas dos mums ēst gaļu? Mums tik labi klājās Ēģiptes zemē! - Tāpēc Tas Kungs jums dos ēst gaļu, un jūs to baudīsit. 19 Jūs to neēdīsit vienu, nedz divas dienas, nedz piecas dienas, nedz desmit dienas un nedz arī divdesmit dienas, 20 nē, bet veselu mēnesi, tiekāms tā jums caur nāsīm izies un galīgi apniks, tāpēc ka jūs To Kungu esat atmetuši, kas ir jūsu vidū, un esat Viņa priekšā raudājuši, sacīdami: kāpēc mēs esam iznākuši no Ēģiptes zemes?" 21 Un Mozus sacīja: "Seši simti tūkstošu kājnieku ir tautā, kuras vidū es atrodos, bet Tu esi sacījis: Es tiem došu gaļu, un tie to ēdīs veselu mēnesi! 22 Vai tad kāds sīklopus un liellopus varēs viņu vajadzībām nokaut, ka viņiem pietiktu? Jeb vai visas jūras zivis būs sapulcināt, lai viņiem to būtu pietiekami?" 23 Bet Tas Kungs sacīja Mozum: "Vai tad Tā Kunga roka ir kļuvusi īsāka? Tagad tu redzēsi, vai piepildīsies Mani vārdi vai ne!" 24 Un Mozus izgāja pie tautas, un viņš tiem atstāstīja Tā Kunga vārdus; tad viņš sapulcināja septiņdesmit vīrus no tautas vecajiem un novietoja tos visapkārt teltij. 25 Un Tas Kungs nonāca mākonī un uz to runāja un ņēma no Gara, kas bija viņā, un lika to septiņdesmit vecajos, un notika, kad Gars tajos palika, tad tie runāja kā pravieši, bet pēc tam vairs ne. 26 Bet divi vīri bija palikuši nometnē, tā viena vārds bija Eldads, bet tā otra - Medads; un arī viņos palika Gars, jo tie bija starp tiem uzrakstītiem, bet viņi nebija izgājuši ārā no savām teltīm, un tomēr nometnē tie runāja kā pravieši. 27 Un tad kāds zēns tecēja un ziņoja Mozum, sacīdams: "Eldads un Medads nometnē runā kā pravieši!" 28 Tad Jozua, Nūna dēls, Mozus palīgs, viens no viņa izraudzītiem jaunekļiem, atbildēja un sacīja: "Mozu, mans kungs, aizliedz tiem!" 29 Tad Mozus tam atbildēja: "Vai tu esi manu tiesību aizstāvis? Ak, kaut Tā Kunga tauta visa būtu pravieši, un kaut Tas Kungs Savu Garu pār viņiem visiem dotu!" 30 Pēc tam Mozus kopā ar Israēla vecajiem atgriezās atpakaļ nometnē. 31 Tad cēlās Tā Kunga sūtīts vējš un atdzina no jūras izklaidus pāri nometnei paipalas - šeit vienas dienas gājuma puslokā un tur vienas dienas gājuma puslokā, visapkārt ap nometni divi olektis augstu kārtu virs zemes. 32 Un tad cēlās tauta visu dienu un visu nakti un vēl visu nākamo dienu un lasīja paipalas; un, kas maz bija salasījis, tam tomēr bija desmit homeras; un tie tās klādami izklāja nometnē sev visapkārt. 33 Un gaļa vēl bija starp viņu zobiem, pirms tā bija apēsta, kad Tas Kungs iekaisa dusmās pret tautu, un Tas Kungs piemeklēja tautu ar ļoti grūtām mocībām. 34 Tāpēc to vietu nosauca vārdā Kibrot-Taava , jo tur viņi glabāja kārīgos ļaudis. 35 Bet no Kibrot-Taavas tauta devās ceļā uz Hacerotu, un tie apmetās Hacerotā.
1 And when the people complained, it displeased the LORD: and the LORD heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp. 2 And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto the LORD, the fire was quenched. 3 And he called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire of the LORD burnt among them.
4 ¶ And the mixt 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? 5 We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick: 6 But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes. 7 And the manna was as coriander seed, and the colour thereof as the colour of bdellium. 8 And the people went about, and gathered it , and ground it in mills, or beat it in a mortar, and baked it in pans, 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 ¶ Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, every man in the door of his tent: and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly; Moses also was displeased. 11 And Moses said unto the LORD, Wherefore hast thou afflicted thy servant? and wherefore have I not found favour in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me? 12 Have I conceived all this people? have I begotten them, that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father beareth 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 favour in thy sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.
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 tabernacle of the congregation, 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 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. 19 Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days; 20 But even a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you: because that ye have despised the LORD which 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 the flocks and the 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 the LORD said unto Moses, Is the LORD’s hand waxed short? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not.
24 ¶ And Moses went out, and told the people the words of the LORD, and gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them round about the tabernacle. 25 And the LORD came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that , when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease. 26 But there remained two of the 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 went not out unto the tabernacle: 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 servant of Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them. 29 And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the LORD’s people were prophets, and that the LORD 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 the LORD, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, as it were a day’s journey on this side, and as it were a day’s journey on the other side, round about the camp, and as it were two cubits high upon the face of the earth. 32 And the people stood up all that day, and all that night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails: he that gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread them all abroad for themselves round about the camp. 33 And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the wrath of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the LORD smote the people with a very great plague. 34 And he called the name of that place Kibroth-hattaavah: because there they buried the people that lusted. 35 And the people journeyed from Kibroth-hattaavah unto Hazeroth; and abode at Hazeroth.
