¹Zvino vanhu vakaita savanyunyuti, vakataura zvakaipa munzeve dzaJehovha; ipapo Jehovha akati azvinzwa, akatsamwa kwazvo, moto waJehovha ukapfuta pakati pavo, ukaparadza kumudzivo wemisasa.

¹And when the people complained, it displeased the LORD: and the LORD heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp.

²Vanhu vakachema kuna Mozisi, Mozisi akanyengetera kuna Jehovha, moto ukadzimwa.

²And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto the LORD, the fire was quenched.

³Zita renzvimbo iyo rikanzi Tabhera, nekuti moto waJehovha wakapfutapo pakati pavo.

³And he called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire of the LORD burnt among them.

⁴Zvino vatorwa vazhinji, vakanga vari pakati pavo, vakatanga kufa nenhomba yenyama; navana vaIsiraeri vakachemawo, vakati, Ndianiko achatipa nyama kuti tidye?

⁴And the mixed multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?

⁵Tinorangarira hove dzataidya Egipita, tisingatengi, namakeke, namamwiwa, nerikisi, nehanyanisi, negariki.

⁵We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic:

⁶Asi zvino mweya yedu yaoma, hapana zvokudya chose, hapana chinhu chatinoona, asi mana*iyi chete.

⁶But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes.

⁷mana*yakanga yakafanana nembeu dzekorianderi, yakanga yakaita sebhedharo.

⁷And the manna was as coriander seed, and the color thereof as the color of bdellium.

⁸Vanhu vaipararira kundoinonga, vakaikuya pamakuyo, kana kuitswa mumaturi, nokuibika muhari, nokuita zvingwa zviduku nayo; kana yodyiwa yakaita sezvingwa zvakabikwa namafuta.

⁸And the people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in a mortar, and baked it in pans, and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil.

⁹Kana dova richiwira pamisasa usiku, mana*yakawawo pamwechete naro.

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

¹⁰Zvino Mozisi akanzwa vanhu vachichema padzimba dzavo dzose, mumwe nomumwe pamukova wetende rake; Jehovha akatsamwa kwazvo; naiye Mozisi akanga asingafari.

¹⁰Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, every man in the door of his tent: and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly; Moses also was displeased.

¹¹Mozisi akati kuna Jehovha, Makaitireiko muranda wenyu zvakaipa? Ndakaregereiko kunzwirwa nyasha nemi, zvamakanditakudza mutoro wavanhu ava vose?

¹¹And Moses said unto the LORD, Wherefore hast thou afflicted thy servant? and wherefore have I not found favor in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?

¹²Ko ndini ndakagamuchira vanhu ava vose here? Ko ndini ndakavabereka here, zvamunoti kwandiri, Uvatakure pachipfuva chako, somureri anotakura mwana anomwa, uvaise kunyika yamakapikira madzibaba avo?

¹²Have I conceived all this people? have I begotten them, that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father beareth the sucking child, unto the land which thou swarest unto their fathers?

¹³Ndichawanepiko nyama yandingapa vanhu ava vose? Nekuti vanondichemera, vachiti, Tipe nyama, tidye.

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

¹⁴Handigoni kutakura vanhu ava vose ndoga, nekuti zvinondiremera kwazvo.

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

¹⁵Kana muchida kundiitira saizvozvo, chindiurayai henyu kamwe, kana ndanzwirwa nyasha nemi, ndirege hangu kuona urombo hwangu.

¹⁵And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favor in thy sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.

¹⁶Zvino Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, Unganidza kwandiri varume vana makumi manomwe vavakuru vaIsiraeri, vaunoziva kuti vakuru vavanhu, navaritariri vavo, uuye navo patende rokusangana, kuti vamirepo newe.

¹⁶And the LORD said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them unto the tabernacle of the congregation, that they may stand there with thee.

¹⁷Ipapo ndichaburuka, nditaure newe ipapo; zvino ndichatora pamweya uri pamusoro pako, ndikauisa pamusoro pavo; ivo vachatakura mutoro wavanhu pamwechete newe, kuti urege kuutakura iwe woga.

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, that thou bear it not thyself alone.

¹⁸Zvino iwe uti kuvanhu, Zvinatsirei mangwana, nekuti muchadya nyama; nekuti makachema munzeve dzaJehovha, muchiti, Ndianiko uchatipa nyama, tidye? Nekuti takanga tichifara hedu Egipita. Naizvozvo Jehovha achakupai nyama, mudye.

¹⁸And say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow, and ye shall eat flesh: for ye have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt: therefore the LORD will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.

¹⁹Hamungadyi zuva rimwe, kana mazuva maviri, kana mazuva mashanu, kana mazuva ane gumi, kana mazuva ana makumi maviri;

¹⁹Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days;

²⁰asi mwedzi wose, kusvikira ichibuda kumhino dzenyu, ikakusemesai; nekuti makarasha Jehovha ari pakati penyu, mukachema pamberi pake, muchiti, Takabudireiko Egipita?

²⁰But even a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you: because that ye have despised the LORD which is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?

²¹Zvino Mozisi akati, Vanhu ava, vandiri pakati pavo, vanofamba namakumbo, vanosvika zviuru zvina mazana matanhatu, zvino moti: Ndichavapa nyama, vaidye mwedzi wose!

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

²²Ko vachabayirwa makwai nemombe, kuti varingane here? Kana vangaunganidzirwa hove dzose dziri mugungwa, kuti varingane here?

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

²³Ipapo Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, Ko ruoko rwaJehovha rwakafupiswa here? Uchaona hako zvino kana shoko rangu richiitika kana risingaitiki

²³And the LORD said unto Moses, Is the LORD's hand waxed short? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not.

²⁴ipapo Mozisi akabuda, akandoudza vanhu mashoko aJehovha; akaunganidza vanhu vana makumi manomwe vavakuru vavanhu, akavapotedza tende.

²⁴And Moses went out, and told the people the words of the LORD, and gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them round about the tabernacle.

²⁵Ipapo Jehovha akaburuka mugore, akataura naye, akatora pamweya wakange uri pamusoro pake, akauisa pamusoro pavakuru avo vana makumi manomwe; zvino mweya wakati uchigara pamusoro pavo, ivo vakaporofita, asi havana kuzoitazve saizvozvo.

²⁵And the LORD came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease.

²⁶Asi varume vaviri vakasara pamisasa, zita romumwe rainzi Eridhadhi, nezita romumwe Medhadhi; mweya ukagara pamusoro pavo, nekuti vakanga vakanyorwa, asi havana kubudira kutende; vakaporofita pamisasa.

²⁶But there remained two of the men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the spirit rested upon them; and they were of them that were written, but went not out unto the tabernacle: and they prophesied in the camp.

²⁷Zvino mumwe mukomana akamhanya, akandoudza Mozisi, akati, Eridhadhi naMedhadhi vanoporofita pamisasa.

²⁷And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp.

²⁸Ipapo Joshua, mwanakomana waNuni, muranda waMozisi kubva paujaya hwake, akapindura, akati, Ishe wangu, Mozisi, vadzivisei.

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

²⁹Mozisi akati kwaari, Ko une shungu nokuda kwangu here? Dai vanhu vose vaJehovha vaiva vaporofita, Jehovha akaisa mweya wake pamusoro pavo!

²⁹And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the LORD's people were prophets, and that the LORD would put his spirit upon them!

³⁰Ipapo Mozisi akaenda kumisasa, iye navakuru vaIsiraeri.

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

³¹Zvino mhepo yakabva kuna Jehovha, ikauyisa zvihuta, zvaibva kugungwa, ikazvikandira pamisasa kumativi ose, zvikaita rwendo rwezuva rimwe kurutivi rumwe, norwendo rwezuva rimwezve kuno rumwe rutivi rwemisasa, nomurwi wakakwirira makubhiti maviri pamusoro penyika.

³¹And there went forth a wind from the LORD, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, as it were a day's journey on this side, and as it were a day's journey on the other side, round about the camp, and as it were two cubits high upon the face of the earth.

³²Zvino vanhu vakasimuka zuva iro rose, nousiku uhwo hwose, neramangwana rose, vakaunganidza zvihuta. Wakaunganidza zvishoma wakaunganidza mahomeri ane gumi, vakazvinika kumativi ose emisasa.

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

³³Nyama yakanga ichiri pakati pameno avo, isati yatsengwa, kutsamwa kwaJehovha kukamukira vanhu, Jehovha akarova vanhu nehosha yakaipa kwazvo.

³³And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the wrath of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the LORD smote the people with a very great plague.

³⁴Naizvozvo nzvimbo iyo yakatumidzwa Kibhuroti-hatava, nekuti ndipo pavakaviga vanhu vakanga vafa nenhomba yenyama.

³⁴And he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah: because there they buried the people that lusted.

³⁵Vanhu vakasimuka vakabva Kibhuroti-hatava vakasvika Hazeroti; vakagara paHazeroti.

³⁵And the people journeyed from Kibrothhattaavah unto Hazeroth; and abode at Hazeroth.
