Numbers, 11

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.

1. I stade narod zlobno mrmljati u Jahvine uši. Kad to èu Jahve, planu gnjevom. Jahvin oganj izbi meðu njima i spali jedan kraj tabora.

2. And when the people had cried out to Moses, Moses prayed to the Lord, and the fire was consumed.

2. Narod zavapi Mojsiju, a Mojsije se pomoli Jahvi i oganj se utiša.

3. And he called the name of that place, ‘The Burning,’ because the fire of the Lord had burned against them.

3. Ono se mjesto prozva Tabera, jer je Jahvin oganj ondje zaplamtio na njih.

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?

4. Svjetinu koja se oko njih skupila obuzme pohlepa za jelom. Izraelci se opet upuste u jadikovanje govoreæi: "Tko æe nas nasititi mesom?

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.

5. Sjeæamo se kako smo u Egiptu jeli badava ribe, krastavaca, dinje, prÓase, luka i èešnjaka.

6. Our life is dry; our eyes look out to see nothing but manna.”

6. Sad nam život vene; nema nièega, osim mÓane, pred našim oèima."

7. Now the manna was like coriander seed, but with the color of bdellium.

7. MÓana je bila kao zrno korijandera i nalik na bdelij.

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.

8. Narod išao naokolo, skupljao je, a onda tro kamenom na kamenoj ploèi ili stÓupao u stÓupi. Kuhao ju je u loncu i od nje pravio kolaèe. Okus joj bijaše kao okus kolaèa zgotovljena u ulju.

9. And when the dew descended in the night over the camp, the manna descended together with it.

9. Kad bi se noæu spuštala rosa po taborištu, s njome bi se spustila i mÓana.

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.

10. Mojsije je slušao kako jadikuje narod u svojim obiteljima, svatko na ulazu u svoj šator. Gnjev Jahvin žestoko planu i Mojsije se ražalosti.

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?

11. "Zašto zlostavljaš slugu svoga?" - upravi Mojsije rijeè Jahvi. "Zašto nisam stekao milost u tvojim oèima kad si na me uprtio teret svega ovog naroda?

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?

12. Zar je od mene potekao sav ovaj narod? Zar sam ga ja rodio, kad veliš: 'Nosi ga u svome krilu, kao što dojilja nosi dojenèe, u zemlju što sam je pod zakletvom obeæao njihovim oèevima!'

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.’

13. Odakle meni meso da ga dam svemu ovom puku koji plaèe oko mene govoreæi: 'Daj nam mesa da jedemo!'

14. I alone am unable to sustain this entire people, because it is too heavy for me.

14. Ja sam ne mogu nositi sav ovaj narod. Preteško je to za me.

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.”

15. Ako æeš ovako sa mnom postupati, radije me ubij, ako sam stekao milost u tvojim oèima, da više ne gledam svoga jada."

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,

16. Onda Jahve reèe Mojsiju: "Skupi mi sedamdeset muževa izmeðu starješina izraelskih za koje znaš da su starješine narodu i njegovi nadglednici. Dovedi ih u Šator sastanka pa neka ondje zauzmu svoja mjesta s tobom.

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.

17. Ja æu siæi i ondje s tobom govoriti; uzet æu nešto duha koji je na tebi i stavit æu ga na njih. Tako æe s tobom nositi teret naroda da ga ne nosiš sam.

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,

18. Nadalje, kaži narodu: Za sutra se posvetite i jest æete mesa, jer ste mrmljali u uši Jahvi govoreæi: 'Tko æe nas nasititi mesa? U Egiptu nam je bilo dobro.' Jahve æe vam, dakle, dati mesa da jedete.

19. not for one day, nor for two, nor for five, nor for ten, nor even for twenty,

19. Neæete ga jesti samo jedan dan, ni dva dana, ni pet dana, ni deset dana, ni dvadeset dana,

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?’ ”

20. nego cio mjesec, sve dok vam ne izbije na nosnice i ne ogadi vam se, jer ste odbacili Jahvu koji je meðu vama mrmljajuæi pred njim rijeèima: 'Zašto smo uopæe odlazili iz Egipta!'"

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.’

21. "Naroda u kojemu se nalazim", odgovori Mojsije, "ima šest stotina tisuæa pješaka, a ti kažeš: 'Mesa æu im dati da jedu mjesec dana.'

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?”

22. Može li im se naklati sitne i krupne stoke da im dostane? Mogu li im se sve ribe iz mora zgrnuti da im bude dosta?"

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.”

23. Jahve reèe Mojsiju: "Zar je ruka Jahvina tako kratka? Sad æeš vidjeti hoæe li se obistiniti moja rijeè ili neæe."

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.

24. Mojsije izaðe i kaza narodu Jahvine rijeèi. Onda skupi sedamdeset muževa izmeðu narodnih starješina i smjesti ih oko Šatora.

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.

25. Jahve siðe u oblaku i poèe s njim govoriti. Zatim uze od duha koji bijaše na njemu i stavi na onu sedamdesetoricu starješina. Kad duh poèinu na njima, poèeše prorokovati, ali to više nikad ne uèiniše.

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.

26. Dvojica ostadoše u taboru. Jednome je bilo ime Eldad, a drugome Medad. Duh je i na njima poèinuo - bili su i oni meðu upisanima, premda nisu došli u tabor - te poèeše u taboru prorokovati.

27. And when they were prophesying in the camp, a boy ran and reported to Moses, saying: “Eldad and Medad prophesy in the camp.”

27. Neki mladiæ otrèa te javi Mojsiju: "Eldad i Medad", reèe, "prorokuju u taboru!"

28. Promptly, Joshua the son of Nun, the minister of Moses and chosen from many, said: “My lord Moses, prohibit them.”

28. Jošua, sin Nunov, koji je posluživao Mojsija od svoje mladosti, prozbori i reèe: "Mojsije, gospodaru moj, ušutkaj ih!"

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?”

29. Mojsije mu odgovori: "Zar si zavidan zbog mene! Oh, kad bi sav narod Jahvin postao prorok! Kad bi Jahve na njih izlio svoga duha!"

30. And Moses returned, with those greater by birth of Israel, into the camp.

30. Potom se Mojsije i starješine izraelske vrate u tabor.

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.

31. Tada Jahve zapovjedi te zapuhnu vjetar i nanese prepelice od mora i sasu ih na tabor, na dan hoda i s ove i s one strane tabora, na dva lakta iznad zemlje.

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.

32. Narod je ustao te je toga cijeloga dana, svu noæ i cio sutrašnji dan skupljao prepelice. Onaj tko ih je skupio najmanje imao je deset homera.

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.

33. Zatim ih razastriješe oko tabora. Meso još bijaše meðu njihovim zubima - još ga nisu prožvakali - kadli planu Jahvin gnjev protiv naroda: Jahve udari narod strašnim pomorom.

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.

34. Ono se mjesto prozva Kibrot Hataava, jer su ondje pokopali one koji se bijahu polakomili.

35.

35. Iz Kibrot Hataave narod se zaputi u Haserot. I utabori se u Haserotu.
