Numeri 11

NOVA VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Ortum est murmur populi, quasi dolentium pro labore, contra Dominum. Quod cum audisset Dominus, iratus est, et accensus in eos ignis Domini devoravit extremam castrorum partem.	1 Meanwhile, there arose a murmur among the people against the Lord, as if they were grief-stricken because of their labors. And when the Lord had heard it, he was angry. And when the fire of the Lord was enflamed against them, it devoured those who were at the extreme end of the camp.
2 Cumque clamasset populus ad Moysen, oravit Moyses ad Dominum, et absorptus est ignis.	2 And when the people had cried out to Moses, Moses prayed to the Lord, and the fire was consumed.
3 Vocaverunt nomen loci illius Tabera, eo quod incensus fuisset contra eos ignis Domini.	3 And he called the name of that place, ‘The Burning,’ because the fire of the Lord had burned against them.
4 Vulgus autem promiscuum, quod erat in medio eius, flagravit desiderio, et sedentes fleverunt pariter filii Israel et dixerunt: “ Quis dabit nobis ad vescendum carnes?	4 So then, the mix of common people, who had ascended with them, were enflamed with desire, and sitting and weeping, with the sons of Israel joining them, they said, “Who will give us flesh to eat?
5 Recordamur piscium, quos comedebamus in Aegypto gratis; in mentem nobis veniunt cucumeres et pepones porrique et cepae et alia.	5 We remember the fish that we ate freely in Egypt; we call to mind the cucumbers, and melons, and leeks, and onions, and garlic.
6 Guttur nostrum aridum est; nihil aliud respiciunt oculi nostri nisi man ”.	6 Our life is dry; our eyes look out to see nothing but manna.”
7 Erat autem man quasi semen coriandri aspectus bdellii.	7 Now the manna was like coriander seed, but with the color of bdellium.
8 Circuibatque populus et colligens illud frangebat mola sive terebat in mortario coquens in olla et faciens ex eo tortulas saporis quasi panis oleati.	8 And the people wandered about, gathering it, and they crushed it with a millstone, or ground it with a mortar; then they boiled it in a pot, and made biscuits out of it, with a taste like bread made with oil.
9 Cumque descenderet nocte super castra ros, descendebat pariter et man.	9 And when the dew descended in the night over the camp, the manna descended together with it.
10 Audivit ergo Moyses flentem populum per familias, singulos per ostia tentorii sui. Iratusque est furor Domini valde; quod Moysi intoleranda res visa est,	10 And so, Moses heard the people weeping by their families, each one at the door of his tent. And the fury of the Lord was greatly enflamed. And to Moses also the matter seemed intolerable.
11 et ait ad Dominum: “ Cur afflixisti servum tuum? Quare non invenio gratiam coram te? Et cur imposuisti pondus universi populi huius super me?	11 And so he said to the Lord: “Why have you afflicted your servant? Why do I not find favor before you? And why have you imposed the weight of this entire people upon me?
12 Numquid ego concepi omnem hunc populum vel genui eum, ut dicas mihi: "Porta eum in sinu tuo, sicut portare solet nutrix infantulum, et defer in terram, pro qua iurasti patribus eorum?".	12 Could I have conceived this entire multitude, or have given birth to them, so that you might say to me: Carry them in your bosom, as a nursemaid usually carries a little infant, and bring them into the land, about which you have sworn to their fathers?
13 Unde mihi carnes, ut dem universo populo isti? Flent contra me dicentes: "Da nobis carnes, ut comedamus!".	13 From where would I obtain the flesh to give to so great a multitude? They weep against me, saying, ‘Give us flesh, so that we may eat.’
14 Non possum ego solus sustinere omnem hunc populum, quia nimis gravis est mihi.	14 I alone am unable to sustain this entire people, because it is too heavy for me.
15 Si hoc modo agis mecum, obsecro ut interficias me, si inveni gratiam in oculis tuis, ne videam amplius mala mea! ”.	15 But if it seems to you otherwise, I beg you to put me to death, and so may I find grace in your eyes, lest I be afflicted with such evils.”
16 Et dixit Dominus ad Moysen: “ Congrega mihi septuaginta viros de senibus Israel, quos tu nosti quod senes populi sint ac magistri, et duces eos ad ostium tabernaculi conventus, stabuntque ibi tecum.	16 And the Lord said to Moses: “Gather to me seventy men from the elders of Israel, whom you know to be elders, as well as teachers, of the people. And you shall lead them to the door of the tabernacle of the covenant, and you shall cause them to stand there with you,
17 Et descendam et loquar tibi et auferam de spiritu tuo tradamque eis, ut sustentent tecum onus populi, et non tu solus graveris.	17 so that I may descend and speak to you. And I will take from your spirit, and I will deliver it to them, so that, with you, they may sustain the burden of the people, and so that you will not be weighed down alone.
18 Populo quoque dices: Sanctificamini, cras comedetis carnes; ego enim audivi vos flere: "Quis dabit nobis escas carnium? Bene nobis erat in Aegypto". Et dabit vobis Dominus carnes, et comedetis	18 You shall also say to the people: Be sanctified. Tomorrow you will eat flesh. For I have heard you say: ‘Who will give us flesh to eat? It was well with us in Egypt.’ So then, may the Lord give you flesh. And you will eat,
19 non uno die nec duobus vel quinque aut decem nec viginti quidem,	19 not for one day, nor for two, nor for five, nor for ten, nor even for twenty,
20 sed usque ad mensem dierum, donec exeat per nares vestras et vertatur in nauseam, eo quod reppuleritis Dominum, qui in medio vestri est, et fleveritis coram eo dicentes: "Quare egressi sumus ex Aegypto?" ”.	20 but for up to a month of days, until it exits from your nostrils, and until it turns into nausea for you, because you have slipped away from the Lord, who is in your midst, and because you have wept before him, saying: ‘Why did we go forth out of Egypt?’ ”
21 Et ait Moyses: “ Populus, in cuius medio sum, sescenta milia peditum sunt, et tu dicis: "Dabo eis esum carnium mense integro!".	21 And Moses said: “There are six hundred thousand footmen of this people, and yet you say, ‘I will give them flesh to eat for a whole month.’
22 Numquid ovium et boum multitudo caedetur, ut possit sufficere ad cibum? Vel omnes pisces maris in unum congregabuntur, ut eos satient? ”.	22 Could a multitude of sheep and oxen be slain, so that there would be enough food? Or will the fishes of the sea be gathered together, in order to satisfy them?”
23 Cui respondit Dominus: “ Numquid manus Domini abbreviata est? Iam nunc videbis utrum meus sermo opere compleatur an non ”.	23 And the Lord answered him: “Can the hand of the Lord be ineffective? Soon now, you shall see whether my word will be fulfilled in this work.”
24 Venit igitur Moyses et narravit populo verba Domini congregans septuaginta viros de senibus Israel, quos stare fecit circa tabernaculum.	24 And so, Moses went and explained the words of the Lord to the people. Gathering together seventy men from the elders of Israel, he caused them to stand around the tabernacle.
25 Descenditque Dominus per nubem et locutus est ad eum auferens de spiritu, qui erat in Moyse, et dans septuaginta viris senibus. Cumque requievisset in eis spiritus, prophetaverunt nec ultra fecerunt.	25 And the Lord descended in a cloud, and he spoke to him, taking from the Spirit which was in Moses, and giving to the seventy men. And when the Spirit had rested in them, they prophesied; nor did they cease afterwards.
26 Remanserant autem in castris duo viri, quorum unus vocabatur Eldad et alter Medad, super quos requievit spiritus; nam et ipsi descripti fuerant et non exierant ad tabernaculum. Cumque prophetarent in castris,	26 Now there had remained in the camp two of the men, of whom one was called Eldad, and the other Medad, upon whom the Spirit rested; for they also had been enrolled, but they did not go forth to the tabernacle.
27 cucurrit puer et nuntiavit Moysi dicens: “ Eldad et Medad prophetant in castris ”.	27 And when they were prophesying in the camp, a boy ran and reported to Moses, saying: “Eldad and Medad prophesy in the camp.”
28 Statim Iosue filius Nun minister Moysi et electus eius a iuventute sua ait: “ Domine mi Moyses, prohibe eos! ”.	28 Promptly, Joshua the son of Nun, the minister of Moses and chosen from many, said: “My lord Moses, prohibit them.”
29 At ille: “ Quid, inquit, aemularis pro me? Quis tribuat, ut omnis populus prophetet, et det eis Dominus spiritum suum? ”.	29 But he said, “Why are you jealous on my behalf? Who decides that any of the people may prophesy and that God may give to them his Spirit?”
30 Reversusque est Moyses et maiores natu Israel in castra.	30 And Moses returned, with those greater by birth of Israel, into the camp.
31 Ventus autem egrediens a Domino arreptas trans mare coturnices detulit et demisit in castra itinere, quantum uno die confici potest, ex omni parte castrorum per circuitum; volabantque in aere duobus cubitis altitudine super terram.	31 Then a wind, going out from the Lord and moving forcefully across the sea, brought quails and cast them into the camp, across a distance of one day’s journey, in every part of the camp all around, and they flew in the air two cubits high above the ground.
32 Surgens ergo populus toto die illo et nocte ac die altero congregavit coturnicum, qui parum, decem choros; et extenderunt eas per gyrum castrorum.	32 Therefore, the people, rising up, gathered quails all that day and night, and the next day; he who did least well gathered ten homers. And they dried them throughout the camp.
33 Adhuc carnes erant in dentibus eorum, nec defecerat huiuscemodi cibus, et ecce furor Domini concitatus in populum percussit eum plaga magna nimis.	33 The flesh was still between their teeth, neither had this kind of food ceased, and behold, the fury of the Lord was provoked against the people, and he struck them with an exceedingly great scourge.
34 Vocatusque est ille locus Cibrottaava; ibi enim sepelierunt populum, qui desideraverat.	34 And that place was called, ‘The Graves of Lust.’ For there, they buried the people who had desired. Then, departing from the Graves of Lust, they arrived in Hazeroth, and they stayed there.
35 Egressi autem de Cibrottaava, venerunt in Aseroth et manserunt ibi.
