民數記 11
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
以色列人發怨言
11 民眾因為困難而發怨言,傳到耶和華耳中。耶和華聽見後便向他們發怒,使火在他們中間燃燒,燒毀了營地的邊緣部分。 2 民眾呼求摩西,摩西便向耶和華禱告,火就熄了。 3 那地方叫他備拉,因為耶和華的火曾在他們中間燃燒。
4 他們中間有一群烏合之眾貪戀從前的食物,以色列人也哭著說:「要是有肉吃多好啊! 5 還記得在埃及的時候,我們不花錢就可以吃魚,還有黃瓜、西瓜、韭菜、蔥和蒜。 6 我們現在毫無胃口,眼前除了嗎哪外,什麼都沒有。」 7 嗎哪的形狀像芫荽籽,又像珍珠。 8-9 每天晚上露水降在營地上時,嗎哪也隨著降下來。早晨民眾到四周撿嗎哪,把嗎哪磨碎或搗碎後,放在鍋裡煮,再做成餅,味道就像油餅。 10 聽見民眾都在自己帳篷門口哭泣,惹耶和華發怒,摩西感到難過, 11 就對耶和華說:「你為什麼為難僕人?我做了什麼令你不悅的事,你竟把管理這些民眾的重擔放在我身上? 12 難道他們是我的骨肉,是我生的嗎?為什麼你要我像父親呵護兒子一樣,把他們抱到你應許給他們祖先的地方呢? 13 他們都哭著向我要肉吃,我去哪裡找肉給他們吃呢? 14 管理民眾的責任實在是太重了,我一個人擔當不起啊! 15 你既然這樣對待我,求你施恩殺了我吧,別讓我受苦了!」
16 耶和華對摩西說:「你給我招聚七十個以色列人的長老——你所瞭解的首領,把他們帶到會幕,讓他們站在你身邊。 17 我要在那裡降臨,對你說話,把降在你身上的靈也賜給他們,讓他們為你分擔管理民眾的責任,免得你獨自承擔。 18 你要叫民眾潔淨自己,到明天就會有肉吃。因為我聽見了他們哭著要肉吃、說埃及的日子更好,我必給他們肉吃。 19 他們將不止吃一天、兩天、五天、十天或二十天, 20 而是要吃整整一個月,直到肉從他們鼻孔裡噴出來,令他們厭膩。因為他們厭棄我,在我面前哭訴,後悔離開埃及。」 21 摩西說:「和我同行的,僅男子就有六十萬,你還說要讓他們吃整整一個月的肉! 22 就是把牛羊都宰了,把海裡的魚都捕來,恐怕也不夠他們吃!」 23 耶和華說:「難道我的臂膀能力不夠嗎?你很快將看見我的話會不會應驗。」
24 摩西就出去把耶和華的話轉告民眾,又選了七十位長老,叫他們站在會幕周圍。 25 耶和華在雲中降臨,對摩西說話,把降在摩西身上的靈也賜給七十位長老。靈一降在他們身上,他們就說起預言來,但只說了這一次。 26 七十位長老中的伊利達和米達沒有到會幕去,但耶和華的靈也降在他們身上,他們就在營中說起預言來。 27 有一個青年跑去稟告摩西說:「伊利達和米達正在營中說預言。」 28 摩西揀選的助手——嫩的兒子約書亞就說:「我主摩西,請你禁止他們。」 29 摩西說:「你是怕我的權威受影響嗎?願耶和華的子民都成為先知!願耶和華把祂的靈降在他們身上!」 30 之後,摩西和以色列的長老都返回營中。
耶和華賜下鵪鶉
31 耶和華颳起一陣風,把鵪鶉從海面颳到營地四周,達一米之厚,方圓數公里。 32 民眾花了兩天一夜的時間去捕捉鵪鶉,每人至少捉了一噸。他們把鵪鶉攤在營地的周圍。 33 他們口中的肉還沒嚼爛,耶和華的怒氣就已向他們發作,降下了大災。 34 因此,那地方叫基博羅·哈他瓦[a],因為那些貪食者埋葬在那裡。 35 民眾從基博羅·哈他瓦前往哈洗錄,在哈洗錄住了下來。

La Biblia de las Américas
El pueblo se queja contra el Señor
11 Y el pueblo comenzó a quejarse en[a] la adversidad(A) a oídos del Señor(B); y cuando el Señor lo oyó, se encendió su ira, y el fuego del Señor ardió entre ellos y consumió un extremo del campamento. 2 Entonces clamó el pueblo a Moisés, y Moisés oró al Señor(C) y el fuego se apagó[b]. 3 Y se le dio a aquel lugar el nombre de Tabera[c](D), porque el fuego del Señor había ardido entre ellos.
4 Y el populacho(E) que estaba entre ellos tenía un deseo insaciable[d](F); y también los hijos de Israel volvieron a llorar, y dijeron: ¿Quién nos dará carne para comer(G)? 5 Nos acordamos del pescado que comíamos gratis en Egipto(H), de los pepinos, de los melones, los puerros, las cebollas y los ajos; 6 pero ahora no tenemos apetito[e]. Nada hay para nuestros ojos excepto este maná(I). 7 Y el maná era como una semilla de cilantro(J), y su aspecto como el del bedelio(K). 8 El pueblo iba, lo recogía y lo molía entre[f] dos piedras de molino, o lo machacaba en el mortero, y lo hervía en el caldero y hacía tortas con él; y tenía el sabor de tortas cocidas con[g] aceite. 9 Cuando el rocío caía en el campamento por la noche, con[h] él caía el maná(L).
10 Y Moisés oyó llorar al pueblo, por sus familias, cada uno a la puerta de su tienda; y la ira del Señor se encendió en gran manera, y a Moisés no le agradó[i]. 11 Entonces Moisés dijo al Señor: ¿Por qué has tratado tan mal a tu siervo? ¿Y por qué no he hallado gracia ante tus ojos para que hayas puesto la carga de todo este pueblo sobre mí(M)? 12 ¿Acaso concebí yo a todo este pueblo? ¿Fui yo quien lo dio a luz para que me dijeras: «Llévalo en tu seno, como la nodriza[j](N) lleva al niño de pecho, a la tierra que yo juré[k] a sus padres(O)»? 13 ¿De dónde he de conseguir carne para dar a todo este pueblo(P)? Porque claman a mí, diciendo: «Danos carne para que comamos». 14 Yo solo no puedo llevar a todo este pueblo, porque es mucha carga[l] para mí(Q). 15 Y si así me vas a tratar, te ruego que me mates(R) si he hallado gracia ante tus ojos, y no me permitas ver mi desventura.
16 Entonces el Señor dijo a Moisés: Reúneme a setenta hombres de los ancianos de Israel, a quienes tú conozcas como los ancianos del pueblo y a sus oficiales(S), y tráelos a la tienda de reunión y que permanezcan allí contigo. 17 Entonces descenderé y hablaré contigo allí, y tomaré del Espíritu que está sobre ti y lo pondré sobre ellos(T), y llevarán contigo la carga del pueblo para que no la lleves tú solo(U). 18 Y di al pueblo: «Consagraos(V) para mañana, y comeréis carne, pues habéis llorado a oídos del Señor(W), diciendo: “¡Quién nos diera a comer carne! Porque nos iba mejor en Egipto”. El Señor, pues, os dará carne y comeréis. 19 No comeréis un día, ni dos días, ni cinco días, ni diez días, ni veinte días, 20 sino[m] todo un mes, hasta que os salga por las narices y os sea aborrecible, porque habéis rechazado al Señor(X), que está entre vosotros, y habéis llorado delante de Él, diciendo: “¿Por qué salimos de Egipto?”». 21 Pero Moisés dijo: El pueblo, en medio del cual estoy, llega a seiscientos mil de a pie; y tú has dicho: «Les daré carne a fin de que coman, por todo un mes». 22 ¿Sería suficiente degollar para ellos las ovejas y los bueyes? ¿O sería suficiente juntar para ellos todos los peces del mar? 23 Y el Señor dijo a Moisés: ¿Está limitado el poder[n] del Señor(Y)? Ahora verás si mi palabra se te cumple(Z) o no.
24 Salió Moisés y dijo al pueblo las palabras del Señor. Reunió después a setenta hombres(AA) de los ancianos del pueblo y los colocó alrededor de la tienda. 25 Entonces el Señor descendió en la nube(AB) y le habló; y tomó del Espíritu que estaba sobre él y lo colocó sobre los setenta ancianos(AC). Y sucedió que cuando el Espíritu reposó sobre ellos, profetizaron; pero no volvieron a hacerlo más.
26 Pero dos hombres habían quedado en el campamento; uno se llamaba Eldad, y el otro[o] se llamaba Medad. Y el Espíritu reposó sobre ellos(AD) (ellos estaban entre los que se habían inscrito, pero no habían salido a la tienda), y profetizaron en el campamento. 27 Y un joven corrió y avisó a Moisés, diciendo: Eldad y Medad están profetizando en el campamento. 28 Entonces respondió Josué, hijo de Nun, ayudante de Moisés desde su juventud(AE), y dijo: Moisés, señor mío, detenlos(AF). 29 Pero Moisés le dijo: ¿Tienes celos por causa mía? ¡Ojalá todo el pueblo del Señor fuera profeta(AG), que el Señor pusiera su Espíritu sobre ellos! 30 Después Moisés volvió al campamento, y con él los ancianos de Israel.
31 Y salió de parte del Señor un viento que trajo codornices desde el mar y las dejó caer junto al campamento(AH), como un día de camino de este lado, y un día de camino del otro lado, por todo alrededor del campamento, y como dos codos[p] de espesor sobre la superficie de la tierra. 32 Y el pueblo estuvo levantado todo el día, toda la noche, y todo el día siguiente, y recogieron las codornices (el que recogió menos, recogió diez homeres[q](AI)), y las tendieron para sí por todos los alrededores del campamento. 33 Pero mientras la carne estaba aún entre sus dientes, antes que la masticaran, la ira del Señor se encendió contra el pueblo, y el Señor hirió al pueblo con una plaga muy mala(AJ). 34 Por eso llamaron a aquel lugar Kibrot-hataava[r](AK), porque allí sepultaron a los que habían sido codiciosos. 35 Y de Kibrot-hataava el pueblo partió para Hazerot, y permaneció[s] en Hazerot(AL).

New King James Version
The People Complain
11 Now (A)when the people complained, it displeased the Lord; (B)for the Lord heard it, and His anger was aroused. So the (C)fire of the Lord burned among them, and consumed some in the outskirts of the camp. 2 Then the people (D)cried out to Moses, and when Moses (E)prayed to the Lord, the fire was [a]quenched. 3 So he called the name of the place [b]Taberah, because the fire of the Lord had burned among them.
4 Now the (F)mixed multitude who were among them [c]yielded to (G)intense craving; so the children of Israel also wept again and said: (H)“Who will give us meat to eat? 5 (I)We remember the fish which we ate freely in Egypt, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic; 6 but now (J)our whole being is dried up; there is nothing at all except this manna before our eyes!”
7 Now (K)the manna was like coriander seed, and its color like the color of bdellium. 8 The people went about and gathered it, ground it on millstones or beat it in the mortar, cooked it in pans, and made cakes of it; and (L)its taste was like the taste of pastry prepared with oil. 9 And (M)when the dew fell on the camp in the night, the manna fell on it.
10 Then Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, everyone at the door of his tent; and (N)the anger of the Lord was greatly aroused; Moses also was displeased. 11 (O)So Moses said to the Lord, “Why have You afflicted Your servant? And why have I not found favor in Your sight, that You have laid the [d]burden of all these people on me? 12 Did I conceive all these people? Did I beget them, that You should say to me, (P)‘Carry them in your bosom, as a (Q)guardian carries a nursing child,’ to the land which You (R)swore[e] to their fathers? 13 (S)Where am I to get meat to give to all these people? For they weep all over me, saying, ‘Give us meat, that we may eat.’ 14 (T)I am not able to bear all these people alone, because the burden is too heavy for me. 15 If You treat me like this, please kill me here and now—if I have found favor in Your sight—and (U)do not let me see my wretchedness!”
The Seventy Elders
16 So the Lord said to Moses: “Gather to Me (V)seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people and (W)officers over them; bring them to the tabernacle of meeting, that they may stand there with you. 17 Then I will come down and talk with you there. (X)I will take of the Spirit that is upon you and will put the same upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, that you may not bear it yourself alone. 18 Then you shall say to the people, [f]‘Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, and you shall eat meat; for you have wept (Y)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 eat, not one day, nor two days, nor five days, nor ten days, nor twenty days, 20 (Z)but for a whole month, until it comes out of your nostrils and becomes loathsome to you, because you have (AA)despised the Lord who is among you, and have wept before Him, saying, (AB)“Why did we ever come up out of Egypt?” ’ ”
21 And Moses said, (AC)“The people whom I am among are six hundred thousand men on foot; yet You have said, ‘I will give them meat, that they may eat for a whole month.’ 22 (AD)Shall flocks and herds be slaughtered for them, to provide enough for them? Or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to provide enough for them?”
23 And the Lord said to Moses, (AE)“Has[g] the Lord’s arm been shortened? Now you shall see whether (AF)what I say will happen to you or not.”
24 So Moses went out and told the people the words of the Lord, and he (AG)gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people and placed them around the tabernacle. 25 Then the Lord came down in the cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the Spirit that was upon him, and placed the same upon the seventy elders; and it happened, (AH)when the Spirit rested upon them, that (AI)they prophesied, [h]although they never did so again.
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 listed, but who (AJ)had not gone out to the tabernacle; yet they prophesied in the camp. 27 And a young man ran and told Moses, and said, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.”
28 So Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ assistant, one of his choice men, answered and said, “Moses my lord, (AK)forbid them!”
29 Then Moses said to him, “Are you [i]zealous for my sake? (AL)Oh, that all the Lord’s people were prophets and that the Lord would put His Spirit upon them!” 30 And Moses returned to the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
The Lord Sends Quail
31 Now a (AM)wind went out from the Lord, and it brought quail from the sea and left them fluttering near the camp, about a day’s journey on this side and about a day’s journey on the other side, all around the camp, and about two cubits above the surface of the ground. 32 And the people stayed up all that day, all night, and all the next day, and gathered the quail (he who gathered least gathered ten (AN)homers); and they spread them out for themselves all around the camp. 33 But while the (AO)meat was still between their teeth, before it was chewed, the wrath of the Lord was aroused against the people, and the Lord struck the people with a very great plague. 34 So he called the name of that place [j]Kibroth Hattaavah, because there they buried the people who had yielded to craving.
35 (AP)From Kibroth Hattaavah the people moved to Hazeroth, and camped at Hazeroth.

Fire From the Lord
11 Now the people complained(A) about their hardships in the hearing of the Lord,(B) and when he heard them his anger was aroused.(C) Then fire from the Lord burned among them(D) and consumed(E) some of the outskirts of the camp. 2 When the people cried out to Moses, he prayed(F) to the Lord(G) and the fire died down. 3 So that place was called Taberah,[a](H) because fire from the Lord had burned among them.(I)
Quail From the Lord
4 The rabble with them began to crave other food,(J) and again the Israelites started wailing(K) and said, “If only we had meat to eat! 5 We remember the fish we ate in Egypt at no cost—also the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions and garlic.(L) 6 But now we have lost our appetite; we never see anything but this manna!(M)”
7 The manna was like coriander seed(N) and looked like resin.(O) 8 The people went around gathering it,(P) and then ground it in a hand mill or crushed it in a mortar. They cooked it in a pot or made it into loaves. And it tasted like something made with olive oil. 9 When the dew(Q) settled on the camp at night, the manna also came down.
10 Moses heard the people of every family wailing(R) at the entrance to their tents. The Lord became exceedingly angry, and Moses was troubled. 11 He asked the Lord, “Why have you brought this trouble(S) on your servant? What have I done to displease you that you put the burden of all these people on me?(T) 12 Did I conceive all these people? Did I give them birth? Why do you tell me to carry them in my arms, as a nurse carries an infant,(U) to the land you promised on oath(V) to their ancestors?(W) 13 Where can I get meat for all these people?(X) They keep wailing to me, ‘Give us meat to eat!’ 14 I cannot carry all these people by myself; the burden is too heavy for me.(Y) 15 If this is how you are going to treat me, please go ahead and kill me(Z)—if I have found favor in your eyes—and do not let me face my own ruin.”
16 The Lord said to Moses: “Bring me seventy of Israel’s elders(AA) who are known to you as leaders and officials among the people.(AB) Have them come to the tent of meeting,(AC) that they may stand there with you. 17 I will come down and speak with you(AD) there, and I will take some of the power of the Spirit that is on you and put it on them.(AE) They will share the burden of the people with you so that you will not have to carry it alone.(AF)
18 “Tell the people: ‘Consecrate yourselves(AG) in preparation for tomorrow, when you will eat meat. The Lord heard you when you wailed,(AH) “If only we had meat to eat! We were better off in Egypt!”(AI) Now the Lord will give you meat,(AJ) and you will eat it. 19 You will not eat it for just one day, or two days, or five, ten or twenty days, 20 but for a whole month—until it comes out of your nostrils and you loathe it(AK)—because you have rejected the Lord,(AL) who is among you, and have wailed before him, saying, “Why did we ever leave Egypt?”’”(AM)
21 But Moses said, “Here I am among six hundred thousand men(AN) on foot, and you say, ‘I will give them meat to eat for a whole month!’ 22 Would they have enough if flocks and herds were slaughtered for them? Would they have enough if all the fish in the sea were caught for them?”(AO)
23 The Lord answered Moses, “Is the Lord’s arm too short?(AP) Now you will see whether or not what I say will come true for you.(AQ)”
24 So Moses went out and told the people what the Lord had said. He brought together seventy of their elders and had them stand around the tent. 25 Then the Lord came down in the cloud(AR) and spoke with him,(AS) and he took some of the power of the Spirit(AT) that was on him and put it on the seventy elders.(AU) When the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied(AV)—but did not do so again.
26 However, two men, whose names were Eldad and Medad, had remained in the camp. They were listed among the elders, but did not go out to the tent. Yet the Spirit also rested on them,(AW) and they prophesied in the camp. 27 A young man ran and told Moses, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.”
28 Joshua son of Nun,(AX) who had been Moses’ aide(AY) since youth, spoke up and said, “Moses, my lord, stop them!”(AZ)
29 But Moses replied, “Are you jealous for my sake? I wish that all the Lord’s people were prophets(BA) and that the Lord would put his Spirit(BB) on them!”(BC) 30 Then Moses and the elders of Israel returned to the camp.
31 Now a wind went out from the Lord and drove quail(BD) in from the sea. It scattered them up to two cubits[b] deep all around the camp, as far as a day’s walk in any direction. 32 All that day and night and all the next day the people went out and gathered quail. No one gathered less than ten homers.[c] Then they spread them out all around the camp. 33 But while the meat was still between their teeth(BE) and before it could be consumed, the anger(BF) of the Lord burned against the people, and he struck them with a severe plague.(BG) 34 Therefore the place was named Kibroth Hattaavah,[d](BH) because there they buried the people who had craved other food.
35 From Kibroth Hattaavah the people traveled to Hazeroth(BI) and stayed there.
