¹And it came to pass that when the people murmured, it was evil in the ears of Jehovah; and Jehovah heard it, and his anger was kindled, and the fire of Jehovah burned among them, and consumed [some] in the extremity of the camp.

¹¶ A ka takiamuamu te iwi, ka korero kino ki nga taringa o Ihowa: a, no te rongonga o Ihowa, ka mura tona riri; a ka ka te ahi a Ihowa i roto i a ratou, a pau ake te hunga i nga pito ki waho o te puni.

²And the people cried to Moses; and Moses prayed to Jehovah -- and the fire abated.

²Na ka tangi te iwi ki a Mohi; a ka inoi a Mohi ki a Ihowa, na, ka mate te ahi.

³And they called the name of that place Taberah; because a fire of Jehovah burned among them.

³A huaina iho te ingoa o tena wahi ko Tapera: no te kaanga hoki o te ahi a Ihowa i roto i a ratou.

⁴And the mixed multitude that was among them lusted; and the children of Israel also wept again and said, Who will give us flesh to eat?

⁴¶ Na ka minamina nga whakauru i roto i a ratou: me nga tama hoki a Iharaira i tangi ano, i mea, Ma wai e homai he kikokiko hei kai ma tatou?

⁵We remember the fish that we ate in Egypt for nothing; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic;

⁵E mahara ana tatou ki nga ika i kainga noatia e tatou ki Ihipa; ki nga kukama, ki nga merengi, ki nga riki, ki nga aniana, me te karika:

⁶and now our soul is dried up: there is nothing at all but the manna before our eyes.

⁶Ko tenei ia, kua maroke o tatou wairua; kahore rawa nei tetahi mea: kahore he mea ke hei tirohanga ma tatou ko tenei mana anake.

⁷And the manna was as coriander seed, and its appearance as the appearance of bdellium.

⁷Na ko te rite o te mana kei te pua korianara; ko tona kara kei te kara teriuma.

⁸The people went about, and gathered it, and ground it with hand-mills, or beat it in mortars, and boiled it in pots, and made cakes of it; and the taste of it was as the taste of oil-cakes.

⁸I kopikopiko te iwi ki te kohi, a hurihia ana e ratou ki nga mira, i tukia ranei ki te kumete, a tunua ana e ratou ki te kohua, hanga ana hoki hei keke: ko tona reka kei to te hinu hou.

⁹And when the dew fell upon the camp by night, the manna fell upon it.

⁹A, i te taunga iho o te haunui ki te puni i te po, i tau ano te mana ki runga.

¹⁰And Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, every one at the entrance of his tent; and the anger of Jehovah was kindled greatly; it was also evil in the eyes of Moses.

¹⁰A i rongo a Mohi i te iwi e tangi ana, puta noa i o ratou hapu, tenei, tenei, i te whatitoka o tona teneti: a he nui te muranga o te riri o Ihowa; a i kino hoki ki ta Mohi.

¹¹And Moses said to Jehovah, Why hast thou done evil to thy servant, and why have I not found favour in thine eyes, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?

¹¹Na ka mea a Mohi ki a Ihowa, He aha koe i whakatupu kino ai i tau pononga? he aha ahau te manakohia ai e koe, i whakawaha ai e koe tenei iwi katoa ki ahau?

¹²Have I conceived all this people, have I brought them forth, that thou sayest to me, Carry them in thy bosom, as the nursing-father beareth the suckling, unto the land which thou didst swear unto their fathers?

¹²He uri ianei noku tenei iwi katoa? i whanau ranei ratou i ahau, i mea ai koe ki ahau, Hikitia ki tou uma, kia rite ki ta te matu atawhai, ki tana hiki i te potiki, ki te whenua i oatitia e koe ki o ratou matua?

¹³Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh that we may eat!

¹³No hea aku kikokiko hei hoatutanga maku ki tenei iwi katoa? e tangi mai ana hoki ratou ki ahau, e mea mai ana, Homai he kikokiko ki matou hei kai ma matou.

¹⁴I am not able to bear all this people alone, for it is too heavy for me.

¹⁴E kore tenei iwi katoa e taea e ahau anake te waha, he taimaha rawa maku.

¹⁵And if thou deal thus with me, slay me, I pray thee, if I have found favour in thine eyes, that I may not behold my wretchedness.

¹⁵A ki te penei tau mahi ki ahau, tena, whakamatea rawatia ahau, ki te mea kua manakohia mai ahau e koe; kaua hoki ahau e kite i te he moku.

¹⁶And Jehovah said to Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and their officers; and take them to the tent of meeting, and they shall stand there with thee.

¹⁶¶ Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Huihuia mai ki ahau kia whitu tekau o nga kaumatua o Iharaira, au i mohio ai he kaumatua no te iwi, he rangatira no ratou; me kawe mai ratou ki te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, me tu tahi koutou ki reira.

¹⁷And I will come down and talk with thee there; and I will take of the Spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, and thou shalt not bear it alone.

¹⁷A maku e haere iho, e korero ki a koe ki reira: me tongo ano e ahau tetahi wahi o te wairua i runga i a koe, ka hoatu ki runga ki a ratou; a ko ratou hei hoa mou ki te waha i te pikaunga, ara i te iwi; kei waha e koe anake.

¹⁸And unto the people shalt thou say, Hallow yourselves for to-morrow, and ye shall eat flesh; for ye have wept in the ears of Jehovah, saying, Who will give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt; and Jehovah will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.

¹⁸Me ki atu hoki e koe ki te iwi, Whakatapu i a koutou mo apopo a ka kai kikokiko koutou: kua tangi na hoki koutou ki nga taringa o Ihowa, kua mea, Ma wai e homai he kikokiko hei kai ma matou? he pai hoki nga mea i a matou i Ihipa: mo reira ka hom ai e Ihowa he kikokiko ki a koutou, a ka kai koutou.

¹⁹Not one day shall ye eat, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days;

¹⁹E kore e kotahi te ra e kai ai koutou, e kore ano hoki e rua nga ra, e kore e rima nga ra, e kore e tekau nga ra, e kore e rua tekau nga ra;

²⁰[but] for a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it become loathsome unto you; because that ye have despised Jehovah who is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?

²⁰Engari kia pau te marama, a puta noa i o koutou ihu, a ngaruru iho koutou: mo koutou i whakahawea ki a Ihowa e noho nei i waenganui i a koutou, i tangi hoki ki tona aroaro, i mea, He aha tatou i haere mai ai i Ihipa?

²¹And Moses said, The people in whose midst I am are six hundred thousand footmen; and thou sayest, I will give them flesh that they may eat a whole month.

²¹Ko te iwi kei roto nei ahau i a ratou e ono rau mano, he hunga haere raro, a kua mea mai nei koe, Ka hoatu e ahau he kikokiko ki a ratou, a kia kotahi tino marama e kai ai ratou.

²²Shall flocks and herds be slaughtered for them, to suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered for them, to suffice them?

²²Me patu ranei nga hipi me nga kau ma ratou, kia rato ai ratou? me kohi mai ranei nga ika katoa o te moana ma ratou, kia rato ai ratou?

²³And Jehovah said to Moses, Hath Jehovah's hand become short? Now shalt thou see whether my word will come to pass unto thee or not.

²³Ano ra ko Ihowa ki a Mohi, Kua mutua ranei te ringa o Ihowa? ka kite koe aianei he pono ranei taku kupu ki a koe, kahore ranei.

²⁴And Moses went out and told the people the words of Jehovah; and he gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them round about the tent.

²⁴¶ Na ka puta a Mohi ki waho, a korerotia ana e ia nga kupu a Ihowa ki te iwi, a huihuia ana e ia e whitu tekau o nga kaumatua o te iwi, a whakaturia ana ki tetahi taha, ki tetahi taha o te tapenakara.

²⁵And Jehovah came down in a cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the Spirit that was upon him, and put it upon the seventy men, the elders; and it came to pass, that when the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied, but they did not repeat [it].

²⁵Na ko te hekenga iho o Ihowa i roto i te kapua, ko te korerotanga hoki ki a ia, na ka tangohia e ia tetahi wahi o te wairua i runga i a ia, a hoatu ana ki nga kaumatua e whitu tekau: a i te taunga iho o te wairua ki a ratou, ka poropiti ratou, a kore ake i pera i muri.

²⁶And two men remained in the camp, the name of the one, Eldad, and the name of the other, Medad; and the Spirit rested upon them (and they were among them that were written, but they had not gone out to the tent); and they prophesied in the camp.

²⁶A tokorua i mahue ki te puni, ko Ererara te ingoa o tetahi, ko Merara te ingoa o tetahi: na ko te taunga iho o te wairua ki runga ki a raua; no te hunga hoki raua i tuhituhia, otiia kihai i haere ki te tapenakara: na ka poropiti raua i roto i te puni.

²⁷And there ran a youth, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.

²⁷Na ka oma tetahi taitama ki te korero ki a Mohi, a ka mea, Kei te poropiti a Ererara raua ko Merara i roto i te puni.

²⁸And Joshua the son of Nun, the attendant of Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them!

²⁸Na ko te ohonga o te tangata a Mohi, o Hohua tama a Nunu, ko tetahi hoki ia o ana taitamariki, ka mea, E toku ariki, e Mohi, riria raua.

²⁹But Moses said to him, Enviest thou for my sake? would that all Jehovah's people were prophets, [and] that Jehovah would put his Spirit upon them!

²⁹Ano ra ko Mohi ki a ia, He whakaaro ki ahau i hae ai koe? he oranga ngakau ra me i poropiti katoa te iwi o Ihowa, me i tukua iho hoki e Ihowa tona wairua ki a ratou.

³⁰And Moses withdrew into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.

³⁰Na ka haere a Mohi ki roto ki te puni, a ia me nga kaumatua o Iharaira.

³¹And there went forth a wind from Jehovah, and drove quails from the sea, and cast them about the camp, about a day's journey on this side, and about a day's journey on the other side, round about the camp, and about two cubits above the earth.

³¹¶ Na ka puta he hau i a Ihowa, a kawea ana mai nga koitareke i te moana, kua maka ki te taha o te puni, kia kotahi pea te ra e haere ai i tetahi taha, kia kotahi pea hoki te ra e haere ai i tera taha, a tawhio noa te puni, me te mea ano e rua what ianga te teitei i runga i te mata o te whenua.

³²And the people rose up all that day, and the whole night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails: he that gathered little gathered ten homers; and they spread them abroad for themselves round about the camp.

³²Na ka tu te iwi a pau katoa taua ra, taua po katoa hoki, me te ra katoa hoki i te aonga ake, ki te kohikohi i nga koitareke: kotahi tekau nga homa a te tangata nana te kohinga iti: a horahorangia noatia atu ana e ratou hei kai ma ratou, a tawhio noa te puni.

³³The flesh was yet between their teeth, before it was chewed, when the wrath of Jehovah was kindled against the people, and Jehovah smote the people with a very great plague.

³³A, i te mea kei o ratou niho ano te kokokiko, i te mea kahore ano i ngaua noatia, na ka mura te riri o Ihowa ki te iwi, a whiua ana te iwi e Ihowa ki tetahi whiu nui rawa atu.

³⁴And they called the name of that place Kibroth-hattaavah; because there they buried the people who lusted.

³⁴Na huaina iho e ia te ingoa o taua wahi ko Kipiroto Hataawa; no te mea i tanumia e ratou ki reira te hunga i minamina.

³⁵From Kibroth-hattaavah the people journeyed to Hazeroth; and they were at Hazeroth.

³⁵Na ka turia atu e te iwi i Kipiroto Hataawa ki Hateroto; a noho ana i Hateroto.
