Numeri 11

VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Interea 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 Now the people complained in the hearing of the LORD; and when he heard it his wrath flared up so that the fire of the LORD burned among them and consumed the outskirts of the camp.
2 Cumque clamasset populus ad Moysen, oravit Moyses ad Dominum, et absorptus est ignis.	2 But when the people cried out to Moses, he prayed to the LORD and the fire died out.
3 Vocavitque nomen loci illius, Incensio : eo quod incensus fuisset contra eos ignis Domini.	3 Hence that place was called Taberah, because there the fire of the LORD burned among them.
4 Vulgus quippe promiscuum, quod ascenderat cum eis, flagravit desiderio, sedens et flens, junctis sibi pariter filiis Israël, et ait : Quis dabit nobis ad vescendum carnes ?	4 The foreign elements among them were so greedy for meat that even the Israelites lamented again, "Would that we had meat for food!
5 recordamur piscium quos comedebamus in Ægypto gratis : in mentem nobis veniunt cucumeres, et pepones, porrique, et cæpe, et allia.	5 We remember the fish we used to eat without cost in Egypt, and the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic.
6 Anima nostra arida est : nihil aliud respiciunt oculi nostri nisi man.	6 But now we are famished; we see nothing before us but this manna."
7 Erat autem man quasi semen coriandri, coloris bdellii.	7 Manna was like coriander seed and had the appearance 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 When they had gone about and gathered it up, the people would grind it between millstones or pound it in a mortar, then cook it in a pot and make it into loaves, which tasted like cakes made with oil.
9 Cumque descenderet nocte super castra ros, descendebat pariter et man.	9 At night, when the dew fell upon the camp, the manna also fell.
10 Audivit ergo Moyses flentem populum per familias, singulos per ostia tentorii sui. Iratusque est furor Domini valde : sed et Moysi intoleranda res visa est,	10 When Moses heard the people, family after family, crying at the entrance of their tents, so that the LORD became very angry, he was grieved.
11 et ait ad Dominum : Cur afflixisti servum tuum ? quare non invenio gratiam coram te ? et cur imposuisti pondus universi populi hujus super me ?	11 "Why do you treat your servant so badly?" Moses asked the LORD. "Why are you so displeased with me that you burden me with all this people?
12 Numquid ego concepi omnem hanc multitudinem, vel genui eam, ut dicas mihi : Porta eos in sinu tuo sicut portare solet nutrix infantulum, et defer in terram, pro qua jurasti patribus eorum ?	12 Was it I who conceived all this people? or was it I who gave them birth, that you tell me to carry them at my bosom, like a foster father carrying an infant, to the land you have promised under oath to their fathers?
13 Unde mihi carnes ut dem tantæ multitudini ? flent contra me, dicentes : Da nobis carnes ut comedamus.	13 Where can I get meat to give to all this people? For they are crying to me, 'Give us meat for our food.'
14 Non possum solus sustinere omnem hunc populum, quia gravis est mihi.	14 I cannot carry all this people by myself, for they are too heavy for me.
15 Sin aliter tibi videtur, obsecro ut interficias me, et inveniam gratiam in oculis tuis, ne tantis afficiar malis.	15 If this is the way you will deal with me, then please do me the favor of killing me at once, so that I need no longer face this distress."
16 Et dixit Dominus ad Moysen : Congrega mihi septuaginta viros de senibus Israël, quos tu nosti quod senes populi sint ac magistri : et duces eos ad ostium tabernaculi fœderis, faciesque ibi stare tecum,	16 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Assemble for me seventy of the elders of Israel, men you know for true elders and authorities among the people, and bring them to the meeting tent. When they are in place beside you,
17 ut descendam et loquar tibi : et auferam de spiritu tuo, tradamque eis, ut sustentent tecum onus populi, et non tu solus graveris.	17 I will come down and speak with you there. I will also take some of the spirit that is on you and will bestow it on them, that they may share the burden of the people with you. You will then not have to bear it by yourself.
18 Populo quoque dices : Sanctificamini (cras comedetis carnes : ego enim audivi vos dicere : Quis dabit nobis escas carnium ? bene nobis erat in Ægypto), ut det vobis Dominus carnes, et comedatis :	18 "To the people, however, you shall say: Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow, when you shall have meat to eat. For in the hearing of the LORD you have cried, 'Would that we had meat for food! Oh, how well off we were in Egypt!' Therefore the LORD will give you meat for food,
19 non uno die, nec duobus, vel quinque aut decem, nec viginti quidem,	19 and you will eat it, not for one day, or two days, or five, or ten, or twenty days,
20 sed usque ad mensem dierum, donec exeat per nares vestras, et vertatur in nauseam, eo quod repuleritis Dominum, qui in medio vestri est, et fleveritis coram eo, dicentes : Quare egressi sumus ex Ægypto ?	20 but for a whole month-until it comes out of your very nostrils and becomes loathsome to you. For you have spurned the LORD who is in your midst, and in his presence you have wailed, 'Why did we ever leave Egypt?'"
21 Et ait Moyses : Sexcenta millia peditum hujus populi sunt : et tu dicis : Dabo eis esum carnium mense integro ?	21 But Moses said, "The people around me include six hundred thousand soldiers; yet you say, 'I will give them meat to eat for a whole month.'
22 numquid ovium et boum multitudo cædetur, ut possit sufficere ad cibum ? vel omnes pisces maris in unum congregabuntur, ut eos satient ?	22 Can enough sheep and cattle be slaughtered for them? If all the fish of the sea were caught for them, would they have enough?"
23 Cui respondit Dominus : Numquid manus Domini invalida est ? jam nunc videbis utrum meus sermo opere compleatur.	23 The LORD answered Moses, "Is this beyond the LORD'S reach? You shall see now whether or not what I have promised you takes place."
24 Venit igitur Moyses, et narravit populo verba Domini, congregans septuaginta viros de senibus Israël, quos stare fecit circa tabernaculum.	24 So Moses went out and told the people what the LORD had said. Gathering seventy elders of the people, he had them stand around the tent.
25 Descenditque Dominus per nubem, et locutus est ad eum, auferens de spiritu qui erat in Moyse, et dans septuaginta viris. Cumque requievisset in eis spiritus, prophetaverunt, nec ultra cessaverunt.	25 The LORD then came down in the cloud and spoke to him. Taking some of the spirit that was on Moses, he bestowed it on the seventy elders; and as the spirit came to rest on them, they prophesied.
26 Remanserat 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.	26 Now two men, one named Eldad and the other Medad, were not in the gathering but had been left in the camp. They too had been on the list, but had not gone out to the tent; yet the spirit came to rest on them also, and they prophesied in the camp.
27 Cumque prophetarent in castris, cucurrit puer, et nuntiavit Moysi, dicens : Eldad et Medad prophetant in castris.	27 So, when a young man quickly told Moses, "Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp,"
28 Statim Josue filius Nun, minister Moysi, et electus e pluribus, ait : Domine mi Moyses, prohibe eos.	28 Joshua, son of Nun, who from his youth had been Moses' aide, said, "Moses, my lord, stop them."
29 At ille : Quid, inquit æmularis pro me ? quis tribuat ut omnis populus prophetet, et det eis Dominus spiritum suum ?	29 But Moses answered him, "Are you jealous for my sake? Would that all the people of the LORD were prophets! Would that the LORD might bestow his spirit on them all!"
30 Reversusque est Moyses, et majores natu Israël in castra.	30 Then Moses retired to the camp, along with the elders of Israel.
31 Ventus autem egrediens a Domino, arreptans trans mare coturnices detulit, et demisit in castra itinere quantum uno die confici potest, ex omni parte castrorum per circuitum, volabantque in aëre duobus cubitis altitudine super terram.	31 There arose a wind sent by the LORD, that drove in quail from the sea and brought them down over the camp site at a height of two cubits from the ground for the distance of a day's journey all around the camp.
32 Surgens ergo populus toto die illo, et nocte, ac die altero, congregavit coturnicum : qui parum, decem coros : et siccaverunt eas per gyrum castrorum.	32 All that day, all night, and all the next day the people gathered in the quail. Even the one who got the least gathered ten homers of them. Then they spread them out all around the camp.
33 Adhuc carnes erant in dentibus eorum, nec defecerat hujuscemodi cibus : et ecce furor Domini concitatus in populum, percussit eum plaga magna nimis.	33 But while the meat was still between their teeth, before it could be consumed, the LORD'S wrath flared up against the people, and he struck them with a very great plague.
34 Vocatusque est ille locus, Sepulchra concupiscentiæ : ibi enim sepelierunt populum qui desideraverat. Egressi autem de Sepulchris concupiscentiæ, venerunt in Haseroth, et manserunt ibi.	34 So that place was named Kibroth-hattaavah, because it was there that the greedy people were buried.
	35 From Kibroth-hattaavah the people set out for Hazeroth.
