4 Mosebog 11

² Da råbte Folket til Moses, og Moses gik i Forbøn hos HERREN.

² The people therefore cried out to Moses, and Moses prayed to the Lord and the fire died out.

⁴ Men den sammenløbne Hob, som fandtes iblandt dem, blev lysten.

⁴ The rabble who were among them had greedy desires; and also the sons of Israel wept again and said, “Who will give us meat to eat?

⁶ og nu vansmægter vi; her er hverken det ene eller det andet, vi ser aldrig andet end Manna."

⁶ but now our appetite is gone. There is nothing at all to look at except this manna.”

⁸ Folket gik rundt og sankede den op; derpå malede de den i Håndkværne eller stødte den i Mortere; så kogte de den i Gryder og lavede Kager deraf; den smagte da som Bagværk tillavet i Olie.

⁸ The people would go about and gather it and grind it between two millstones or beat it in the mortar, and boil it in the pot and make cakes with it; and its taste was as the taste of cakes baked with oil.

¹⁰ Og Moses hørte, hvorledes alle Folkets Slægter græd, enhver ved Indgangen til sit Telt; da blussede HERRENs Vrede voldsomt op, og det vakte også Moses's Mishag.

¹⁰ Now Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, each man at the doorway of his tent; and the anger of the Lord was kindled greatly, and Moses was displeased.

¹² Mon det er mig, der har undfanget hele dette Folk, mon det er mig, der har født det, siden du forlanger, at jeg i min Favn skal bære det hen til det Land, du tilsvor dets Fædre, som en Fosterfader bærer det diende Barn?

¹² Was it I who conceived all this people? Was it I who brought them forth, that You should say to me, ‘Carry them in your bosom as a nurse carries a nursing infant, to the land which You swore to their fathers’?

¹⁴ Jeg kan ikke ene bære hele dette Folk, det er mig for tungt.

¹⁴ I alone am not able to carry all this people, because it is too burdensome for me.

¹⁶ HERREN svarede Moses: "Kald mig halvfjerdsindstyve af Israels Ældste sammen, Mænd, som du ved hører til Folkets Ældste og Tilsynsmænd, før dem hen til Åbenbaringsteltet og lad dem stille sig op hos dig der.

¹⁶ The Lord therefore said to Moses, “Gather for Me seventy men from the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people and their officers and bring them to the tent of meeting, and let them take their stand there with you.

¹⁸ Men til Folket skal du sige: Helliger eder til i Morgen, så skal I få Kød at spise! I har jo grædt højlydt for HERREN og sagt: Kunde vi dog få Kød at spise! Vi havde det jo bedre i Ægypten! Derfor vil HERREN give eder kød at spise;

¹⁸ Say to the people, ‘Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, and you shall eat meat; for you have wept in the ears of the Lord, saying, “Oh that someone would give us meat to eat! For we were well-off in Egypt.” Therefore the Lord will give you meat and you shall eat.

²⁰ men en hel Måned igennem, indtil det står eder ud af Næsen, og I væmmes derved, fordi I har ringeagtet HERREN, der er i eders Midte, og grædt for hans Åsyn og sagt: Hvorfor drog vi dog ud af Ægypten!"

²⁰ but a whole month, until it comes out of your nostrils and becomes loathsome to you; because you have rejected the Lord who is among you and have wept before Him, saying, “Why did we ever leave Egypt?”’”

²² Kan der slagtes så meget Småkvæg og Hornkvæg til dem, at det kan slå til, eller kan alle Fisk i Havet samles sammen til dem, så det kan slå til?"

²² Should flocks and herds be slaughtered for them, to be sufficient for them? Or should all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to be sufficient for them?”

²⁴ Da gik Moses ud og kundgjorde Folket HERRENs Ord. Og han samlede halvfjerdsindstyve af Folkets Ældste og lod dem stille sig rundt om Teltet.

²⁴ So Moses went out and told the people the words of the Lord. Also, he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people, and stationed them around the tent.

²⁶ Imidlertid var to Mænd blevet tilbage i Lejren, den ene hed Eldad, den anden Medad. Også over dem kom Ånden, thi de hørte til dem, der var optegnede, men de var ikke gået ud til Teltet, og nu kom de i profetisk Henrykkelse inde i Lejren.

²⁶ But two men had remained in the camp; the name of one was Eldad and the name of the other Medad. And the Spirit rested upon them (now they were among those who had been registered, but had not gone out to the tent), and they prophesied in the camp.

²⁸ Josua, Nuns Søn, der fra sin Ungdom af havde gået Moses til Hånde, sagde da: "Min Herre Moses, stands dem i det!"

²⁸ Then Joshua the son of Nun, the attendant of Moses from his youth, said, “Moses, my lord, restrain them.”

³⁰ Derpå trak Moses sig tilbage til Lejren med Israels Ældste.

³⁰ Then Moses returned to the camp, both he and the elders of Israel.

³² Så gav Folket sig hele den Dag, hele Natten og hele den næste Dag til at samle Vagtlerne op; det mindste, nogen samlede, var ti Homer. Og de bredte dem ud til Tørring rundt om Lejren.

³² The people spent all day and all night and all the next day, and gathered the quail (he who gathered least gathered ten homers) and they spread them out for themselves all around the camp.

³⁴ Og man kaldte Stedet Kibrot Hattåva, thi der blev de lystne Folk jordet.

³⁴ So the name of that place was called Kibroth-hattaavah, because there they buried the people who had been greedy.
