Чис 11
Священное Писание (Восточный перевод), версия для Таджикистана
Ропот исроильтян
11 Народ сетовал перед Вечным на тяготы, и, услышав их, Он разгневался. Огонь Вечного загорелся среди них и стал пожирать край лагеря. 2 Народ стал звать на помощь Мусо; Мусо помолился Вечному, и огонь угас. 3 То место было названо Тавера («горение»), потому что огонь Вечного загорелся среди них.
4 Чужеземцы, которые были среди них, стали очень прихотливы в пище. Тогда и исроильтяне вновь принялись плакать вместе с ними и говорить:
– Поесть бы нам мяса! 5 Мы помним рыбу, которую ели в Египте даром, огурцы, дыни, лук-порей, репчатый лук и чеснок. 6 Но теперь силы у нас иссякли. Ничего, ну совсем ничего, – мы видим только одну манну!
7 Манна была похожа на кориандровое семя, цвета же она была светло-жёлтого[a]. 8 Народ ходил и собирал её, а затем перемалывал её ручными жерновами или толок в ступе. Они готовили её в горшке или делали из неё лепёшки. По вкусу она напоминала лепёшки с оливковым маслом. 9 Когда ночью на лагерь опускалась роса, опускалась на него и манна.
Семьдесят старейшин
10 Мусо услышал, как в каждой семье люди плачут у входа в свои шатры. Вечный очень разгневался, и Мусо огорчился. 11 Он спросил Вечного:
– За что Ты так мучаешь меня? Чем я прогневил Тебя, что Ты возложил на меня бремя этого народа? 12 Разве я зачал этот народ? Разве я родил его? Почему Ты велишь мне нести его на руках, как нянька носит младенца, в страну, которую Ты с клятвой обещал их предкам? 13 Где мне взять мясо для этого народа? Они плачут предо мной и говорят: «Накорми нас мясом!» 14 Я не могу нести бремя этого народа один; мне это не под силу. 15 Если Ты собираешься так обходиться со мной, то прошу, предай меня смерти прямо сейчас, если я нашёл у Тебя расположение, чтобы мне не видеть своей беды.
16 Вечный сказал Мусо:
– Приведи Мне семьдесят человек из исроильских старейшин, которых ты знаешь как вождей народа. Пусть они придут к шатру встречи и встанут там с тобой. 17 Я сойду и буду говорить с тобой там. Я возьму от Духа, что на тебе, и возложу на них. Они помогут тебе нести бремя народа, чтобы тебе не нести его одному. 18 Скажи народу: «Освятитесь к завтрашнему дню, и будете есть мясо. Вечный услышал, как вы плакали и говорили: “Поесть бы нам мяса! В Египте было лучше!” Вечный накормит вас мясом. 19 Вы будете есть его не один день, не два, не пять, не десять, не двадцать дней, 20 а целый месяц, пока оно не полезет у вас из ноздрей и не станет для вас отвратительным, потому что вы отвергли Вечного, Который среди вас, и плакали перед Ним, говоря: “Зачем мы ушли из Египта?!”»
21 Мусо сказал:
– Я здесь среди шестисот тысяч пеших мужчин, а Ты говоришь: «Я буду кормить их мясом целый месяц!» 22 Да разве хватит им, если для них забьют весь скот, какой только есть? Разве хватит им, если для них выловят в море всю рыбу?
23 Вечный ответил Мусо:
– Разве рука Вечного коротка? Сейчас ты увидишь, исполнится ли Моё обещание тебе.
24 Мусо вышел и передал народу то, что сказал Вечный. Он собрал семьдесят человек из старейшин и поставил их вокруг шатра. 25 Тогда Вечный сошёл в облаке и говорил с ним. Он взял от Духа, что был на нём, и возложил на семьдесят старейшин. Дух почил на них, и они пророчествовали, но потом перестали[b].
26 Два человека, которых звали Элдад и Медад, оставались в лагере. Они были записаны между старейшинами, но не вышли к шатру. Дух почил и на них, и они пророчествовали в лагере. 27 Юноша прибежал и сказал Мусо:
– Элдад и Медад пророчествуют в лагере.
28 Иешуа, сын Нуна, который был помощником Мусо с юности[c], сказал:
– Мусо, господин мой, останови их!
29 Но Мусо ответил:
– Ты ревнуешь за меня? Я хотел бы, чтобы все в народе Вечного стали пророками, и Вечный послал бы на них Своего Духа!
30 Потом Мусо и старейшины Исроила возвратились в лагерь.
Перепела от Вечного
31 И вот, поднялся ветер от Вечного и принёс с моря перепелов. Они были везде на расстоянии дневного пути в каждую сторону от лагеря, летая на высоте около одного метра[d] от земли.[e] 32 Весь тот день, всю ночь и весь следующий день народ ходил собирать перепелов, и каждый человек собрал огромное количество[f] птиц. Они разложили их вокруг лагеря. 33 И пока ещё мясо было у них на зубах, Вечный разгневался на народ и поразил его лютым мором. 34 Поэтому то место было названо Киврот-Таава («могилы прихоти»): там похоронили тех, кто поддался прихоти.
35 Из Киврот-Таавы народ двинулся к Хацероту и остановился там.

Numbers 11
King James Version
11 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 Kibrothhattaavah: because there they buried the people that lusted.
35 And the people journeyed from Kibrothhattaavah unto Hazeroth; and abode at Hazeroth.
Numbers 11
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
Complaining in the Desert
11 And the people complained in the hearing of the Lord about their misfortunes; and when the Lord heard it, his anger was kindled, and the fire of the Lord burned among them, and consumed some outlying parts of the camp. 2 Then the people cried to Moses; and Moses prayed to the Lord, and the fire abated. 3 So the name of that place was called Tab′erah,[a] because the fire of the Lord burned among them.
4 Now the rabble that was among them had a strong craving; and the people of Israel also wept again, and said, “O that we had meat to eat! 5 We remember the fish we ate in Egypt for nothing, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic; 6 but now our strength is dried up, and there is nothing at all but this manna to look at.”
7 Now the manna was like coriander seed, and its appearance like that of bdellium. 8 The people went about and gathered it, and ground it in mills or beat it in mortars, and boiled it in pots, and made cakes of it; and the taste of it was like the taste of cakes baked with oil. 9 When the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell with it.
10 Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, every man at the door of his tent; and the anger of the Lord blazed hotly, and Moses was displeased. 11 Moses said to the Lord, “Why hast thou dealt ill with thy servant? And why have I not found favor in thy sight, that thou dost lay the burden of all this people upon me? 12 Did I conceive all this people? Did I bring them forth, that thou shouldst say to me, ‘Carry them in your bosom, as a nurse carries the sucking child,’ to the land which thou didst swear to give their fathers? 13 Where am I to get meat to give to all this people? For they weep before me and say, ‘Give us meat, that we may eat.’ 14 I am not able to carry all this people alone, the burden is too heavy for me. 15 If thou wilt deal thus with me, kill me at once, if I find favor in thy sight, that I may not see my wretchedness.”
The Seventy Elders
16 And the Lord said to Moses, “Gather for 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, and let them take their stand there with you. 17 And I will come down and talk with you there; and I will take some of the spirit which is upon you and put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, that you may not bear it yourself alone. 18 And say to the people, ‘Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, and you shall eat meat; for you have wept in the hearing 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 shall eat. 19 You shall not eat one day, or two days, or five days, or ten days, or twenty days, 20 but a whole month, until it comes out at 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 come forth out of Egypt?”’” 21 But Moses said, “The people among whom I am number six hundred thousand on foot; and thou hast said, ‘I will give them meat, that they may eat a whole month!’ 22 Shall flocks and herds be slaughtered 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 to Moses, “Is the Lord’s hand shortened? Now you shall see whether my word will come true for you or not.”
24 So Moses went out and told the people the words of the Lord; and he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people, and placed them round about the tent. 25 Then the Lord came down in the cloud and spoke to him, and took some of the spirit that was upon him and put it upon the seventy elders; and when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied. But they did so no more.
26 Now two men remained in the camp, one named Eldad, and the other named Medad, and the spirit rested upon them; they were among those registered, but they had not gone out to the tent, and so they prophesied in the camp. 27 And a young man ran and told Moses, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.” 28 And Joshua the son of Nun, the minister of Moses, one of his chosen men, said, “My lord Moses, forbid them.” 29 But Moses said to him, “Are you jealous for my sake? Would that all the Lord’s people were prophets, that the Lord would put his spirit upon them!” 30 And Moses and the elders of Israel returned to the camp.[b]
The Quails
31 And there went forth a wind from the Lord, and it brought quails from the sea, and let them fall beside 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. 32 And the people rose all that day, and all night, and all the next day, and gathered the quails; he who gathered least gathered ten homers; and they spread them out for themselves all around the camp. 33 While the meat was yet between their teeth, before it was consumed, the anger of the Lord was kindled against the people, and the Lord smote the people with a very great plague. 34 Therefore the name of that place was called Kib′roth-hatta′avah,[c] because there they buried the people who had the craving. 35 From Kib′roth-hatta′avah the people journeyed to Haze′roth; and they remained at Haze′roth.
