Dabkii Rabbiga Ka Yimid

11 Oo dadkuna waxay ahaayeen sidii kuwo gunuunac badan, oo wax shar ah ayay Rabbiga dhegihiisa maqashiiyeen. Oo markii Rabbigu maqlay ayaa cadhadiisii kululaatay, oo dabkii Rabbiguna dhexdooduu ka qaxmay, oo xerada meesheedii ugu dambaysay ayuu baabbi'iyey. Markaasaa dadkii waxay u qayliyeen Muuse, kolkaasaa Muuse Rabbiga baryay, oo dabkiina wuu damay. Oo meeshaas magaceediina waxaa loo baxshay Tabceeraah, maxaa yeelay, dabkii Rabbiga ayaa dhexdooda ka qaxmay.

Digaagduurka Rabbiga Ka Yimid

Oo dadkii badnaa oo isku darsanaa oo iyaga ku dhex jirayna aad bay wax ugu jeeleen. Oo reer binu Israa'iilna mar kalay ooyeen, oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Bal yaa hilib aannu cunno na siinaya? Annagu waxaannu xusuusan nahay kalluunkii aannu Masar lacagla'aan uga cuni jirnay, iyo khajaarkii, iyo batiikhii, iyo basashii cagaarka ahayd, iyo basashii guduudnayd, iyo toontii. Laakiinse haatan naftayadii way cunta nacday, oo waxba ma jiraan, oo maannadan ma ahaane wax kaloo aan fiirsanno ma haysanno. Oo maannaduna waxay u ekayd midhaha koryander la yidhaahdo, oo midabkeeduna wuxuu u ekaa midabka xabagta beduliyum la yidhaahdo. Dadku way warwareegi jireen oo soo urursan jireen, markaasay mixdin ku daqiijin jireen, amase mooye ku tumi jireen, oo dheryay ku karsan jireen, oo moofo bay ka samaysan jireen; oo dhadhankeeduna wuxuu ahaa sida dhadhanka wax saliid lagu sameeyey. Oo habeennimada markii sayaxu xerada ku soo dego ayaa maannaduna la soo dhici jirtay. 10 Haddana Muuse wuxuu maqlay dadkii oo ka dhex ooyaya qabiilooyinkoodii oo dhan, oo nin waluba teendhadiisa iriddeeduu taagnaa, markaasaa cadhadii Rabbigu aad u kululaatay, oo Muusena wuu ka xumaaday. 11 Oo Muuse wuxuu Rabbiga ku yidhi, Maxaad anoo addoonkaaga ah sida xun iigu gashay? Oo maxaan raallinimadaada u heli waayay, oo maxaad ii kor saaraysaa dadkan oo dhan culaabtiisa? 12 Dadkan oo dhan ma anigaa uuraystay? Oo ma anigaa dhalay markaad igu leedahay, Iyaga laabtaada ku qaad sida aabbe u qaado ilmo caanonuug ah, tan iyo dalkii aad awowayaashood ugu dhaaratay? 13 Bal xaggee baan ka helayaa hilib aan siiyo dadkan oo dhan? Waayo, iyagu way igu ooyaan oo waxay igu yidhaahdaan, Hilib aannu cunno na si. 14 Anigu ma aan qaadi karo dadkan oo dhan, maxaa yeelay, rarkan aad buu iigu culus yahay. 15 Haddaad sidaas ii gashid, waan ku baryayaaye, i dil, haddaad raalli iga tahay, oo yaanan dandarradayda arkin.

16 Markaasaa Rabbigu Muuse ku yidhi, Waxaad ii soo ururisaa toddobaatan nin oo ah waayeelladii reer binu Israa'iil oo aad garanaysid inay dadka waayeello u yihiin iyo saraakiil u talisa, oo waxaad iyaga keentaa teendhada shirka inay halkaas kula istaagaan. 17 Oo anna waan soo degan doonaa, oo halkaasaan kugula hadli doonaa, oo waxaan qaadi doonaa ruuxa ku kor jooga, markaasaan iyaga saari doonaa, oo waxay kula qaadi doonaan culaabta dadka, si aanad keligaa u qaadin. 18 Oo dadkana waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Hilib baad cunaysaane berri quduus isaga dhiga, waayo, waxaad ku ooydeen Rabbiga dhegihiisii, oo waxaad tidhaahdeen, Bal yaa hilib aannu cunno na siinaya? Waayo, markaannu Masar joogi jirnay baa noo dhaantay. Haddaba Rabbigu hilib buu idin siin doonaa oo idinna waad cuni doontaan. 19 Oo idinku ma cuni doontaan maalin keliya, ama laba maalmood, amase shan maalmood, amase toban maalmood, amase labaatan maalmood, 20 laakiinse waxaad cuni doontaan bil dhan, jeer aad sanka dulalkiisa ka keentaan, oo aad ka diiqootaan, maxaa yeelay, Rabbiga idin dhex jooga ayaad diiddeen oo aad ku hor ooydeen, oo waxaad tidhaahdeen, Bal maxaannu Masar uga soo baxnay? 21 Markaasaa Muuse yidhi, Dadka aan dhex joogaa waa lix boqol oo kun oo nin oo lug ah, oo adna waxaad tidhi, Waxaan iyaga siinayaa hilib ay bil dhan cunaan. 22 Ma waxaa loo qalaa ido iyo lo' si ay uga dhergaan? Mase kalluunka badda ku jira oo dhan baa loo soo ururiyaa si ay uga dhergaan?

23 Markaasaa Rabbigu Muuse ku yidhi, War ma gacantii Rabbigaa gaabatay? Haddaba waad arki doontaa bal in eraygaygu rumoobayo iyo in kale. 24 Markaasaa Muuse baxay oo dadkii u soo sheegay ereygii Rabbiga, oo wuxuu soo ururiyey toddobaatan nin oo reer binu Israa'iil waayeello u ah, oo Teendhada hareeraheedii ayuu isugu keenay. 25 Markaasaa Rabbigu ku soo degtay daruurtii oo isagii la hadlay, wuxuuna qaaday ruuxii isaga saarnaa, markaasuu toddobaatankii waayeel saaray, oo markii ruxuu korkooda ku degay ayay wax sii sheegeen, laakiinse sidaas mar dambe ma ay yeelin. 26 Laakiinse laba nin baa xeradii ku dhex hadhay. Mid magiciisa waxaa la odhan jiray Eldaad, kan kalena magiciisa waxaa la odhan jiray Meedaad, oo iyagana ruuxii baa ku soo degay, oo waxay ka mid ahaayeen kuwii la qoray, laakiinse uma ay bixin Teendhadii; oo iyagu xerada dhexdeedii ayay wax ku sii sheegeen. 27 Markaasaa nin dhallinyaro ah soo orday oo Muuse u soo sheegay oo yidhi, Eldaad iyo Meedaad xeradii bay wax ku sii sheegayaan. 28 Markaasaa Yashuuca ina Nuun oo Muuse midiidinkiisa ahaa oo raggiisii uu doortay ka mid ahaa ayaa ku yidhi, Sayidkaygii Muusow, u diid iyaga. 29 Markaasaa Muuse wuxuu isagii ku yidhi, War ma aniga baad ii xinaasaysaa? Bal may dadka Rabbiga oo dhammu nebiyo ahaadaan, oo Rabbigu muu iyaga ruuxiisa ku soo dejiyo! 30 Markaasaa Muuse iyo waayeelladii reer binu Israa'iilba xerada ku noqdeen. 31 Markaasaa dabayl Rabbiga ka timid, oo waxay badda ka keentay digaagduur, oo xerada hareeraheedii ayay ku soo daadisay intii maalin socodkeed ah oo dhankan ah iyo intii maalin socodkeed ah oo dhanka kale ah oo xerada ku wareegsan, oo dalka korkiisana waxay u jireen intii laba dhudhun ah. 32 Markaasaa dadkii kacay oo maalintaas oo dhan, iyo habeenkii oo dhan, iyo maalintii dambe oo dhan waxay soo urursadeen digaagduurkii; oo kii ugu wax yaraa wuxuu soo urursaday toban xomeer, oo waxay ku kala bixiyeen xerada hareeraheedii. 33 Oo intii hilibkii ilkahoodii ku dhex jiray, oo aanay weli calalin, ayaa cadhadii Rabbigu dadkii aad ugu kululaatay, markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu dadkii ku dhuftay belaayo weyn. 34 Oo meeshaas magaceedii waxaa loo bixiyey Qibrood Xatawaah, maxaa yeelay, halkaasaa lagu aasay dadkii hunguri xumaaday. 35 Markaasay dadkii Qibrood Xatawaah ka guureen, oo waxay u sodcaaleen Xaseerood, Xaseeroodna way degeen.

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. When the people cried out to Moses, he prayed(F) to the Lord(G) and the fire died down. So that place was called Taberah,[a](H) because fire from the Lord had burned among them.(I)

Quail From the Lord

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! We remember the fish we ate in Egypt at no cost—also the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions and garlic.(L) But now we have lost our appetite; we never see anything but this manna!(M)

The manna was like coriander seed(N) and looked like resin.(O) 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. 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.
