¹The people were complaining in the ears of Yahweh. When Yahweh heard it, his anger was kindled; and Yahweh’s fire burnt among them, and consumed some of the outskirts of the camp.

¹Men Folket knurrede højlydt for HERREN over deres usle Kår; og da HERREN hørte det, blussede hans Vrede op, og HERRENs Ild brød løs iblandt dem og åd om sig i den yderste Del af Lejren.

²The people cried to Moses; and Moses prayed to Yahweh, and the fire abated.

²Da råbte Folket til Moses, og Moses gik i Forbøn hos HERREN. Så dæmpedes Ilden.

³The name of that place was called Taberah Taberah means “burning” , because Yahweh’s fire burnt among them.

³Derfor kaldte man dette Sted Tabera, fordi HERRENs Ild brød løs iblandt dem.

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

⁴Men den sammenløbne Hob, som fandtes iblandt dem, blev lysten. Så tog også Israeliterne til at græde igen, og de sagde: "Kunde vi dog få Kød at spise!

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

⁵Vi mindes Fiskene, vi fik at spise for intet i Ægypten, og Agurkerne, Vandmelonerne, Porrerne, Hvidløgene og Skalotterne,

⁶but now we have lost our appetite. There is nothing at all except this manna to look at.”

⁶og nu vansmægter vi; her er hverken det ene eller det andet, vi ser aldrig andet end Manna."

⁷The manna was like coriander seed, and its appearance like the appearance of bdellium.

⁷Mannaen lignede Horianderfrø og så ud som Bellium.

⁸The people went around, gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in mortars, and boiled it in pots, and made cakes of it. Its taste was like the taste of fresh oil.

⁸Folket gik rundt og sankede den op; derpå malede de den i Håndkværne eller stødte den i Mortere; så kogte de den i Gryder og lavede Kager deraf; den smagte da som Bagværk tillavet i Olie.

⁹When the dew fell on the camp in the night, the manna fell on it.

⁹Når Duggen om Natten faldt over Lejren, faldt også Mannaen ned over den.

¹⁰Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, every man at the door of his tent; and the anger of Yahweh was kindled greatly; and Moses was displeased.

¹⁰Og Moses hørte, hvorledes alle Folkets Slægter græd, enhver ved Indgangen til sit Telt; da blussede HERRENs Vrede voldsomt op, og det vakte også Moses's Mishag.

¹¹Moses said to Yahweh, “Why have you treated with your servant so badly? Why haven’t I found favor in your sight, that you lay the burden of all this people on me?

¹¹Da sagde Moses til HERREN: "Hvorfor har du handlet så ilde med din Tjener, og hvorfor har jeg ikke fundet Nåde for dine Øjne, siden du har lagt hele dette Folk som en Byrde på mig?

¹²Have I conceived all this people? Have I brought them forth, that you should tell me, ‘Carry them in your bosom, as a nurse carries a nursing infant, to the land which you swore to their fathers?’

¹²Mon det er mig, der har undfanget hele dette Folk, mon det er mig, der har født det, siden du forlanger, at jeg i min Favn skal bære det hen til det Land, du tilsvor dets Fædre, som en Fosterfader bærer det diende Barn?

¹³Where could I get meat to give to all this people? For they weep to me, saying, ‘Give us meat, that we may eat.’

¹³Hvor skal jeg gå hen og skaffe hele dette Folk Kød? Thi de græder rundt om mig og siger: Skaf os Kød at spise?

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

¹⁴Jeg kan ikke ene bære hele dette Folk, det er mig for tungt.

¹⁵If you treat me this way, please kill me right now, if I have found favor in your sight; and don’t let me see my wretchedness.”

¹⁵Hvis du vil handle således med mig, så dræb mig hellere, om jeg har fundet Nåde for dine Øjne, så at jeg ikke skal være nødt til at opleve sådan Elendighed!"

¹⁶Yahweh said to Moses, “Gather to me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them to the Tent of Meeting, that they may stand there with you.

¹⁶HERREN svarede Moses: "Kald mig halvfjerdsindstyve af Israels Ældste sammen, Mænd, som du ved hører til Folkets Ældste og Tilsynsmænd, før dem hen til Åbenbaringsteltet og lad dem stille sig op hos dig der.

¹⁷I will come down and talk with you there. I will take of the Spirit which is on you, and will put it on them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, that you not bear it yourself alone.

¹⁷Så vil jeg stige ned og tale med dig der, og jeg vil tage noget af den Ånd, der er over dig, og lade den komme over dem, for at de kan hjælpe dig med at bære Folkets Byrde, så du ikke ene skal bære den.

¹⁸“Say to the people, ‘Sanctify yourselves against tomorrow, and you will eat flesh; for you have wept in the ears of Yahweh, saying, “Who will give us flesh to eat? For it was well with us in Egypt.” Therefore Yahweh will give you flesh, and you will eat.

¹⁸Men til Folket skal du sige: Helliger eder til i Morgen, så skal I få Kød at spise! I har jo grædt højlydt for HERREN og sagt: Kunde vi dog få Kød at spise! Vi havde det jo bedre i Ægypten! Derfor vil HERREN give eder kød at spise;

¹⁹You will not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days,

¹⁹og ikke blot een eller to eller fem eller ti eller tyve Dage skal I spise det,

²⁰but a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it is loathsome to you; because that you have rejected Yahweh who is among you, and have wept before him, saying, “Why did we come out of Egypt?”’”

²⁰men en hel Måned igennem, indtil det står eder ud af Næsen, og I væmmes derved, fordi I har ringeagtet HERREN, der er i eders Midte, og grædt for hans Åsyn og sagt: Hvorfor drog vi dog ud af Ægypten!"

²¹Moses said, “The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand men on foot; and you have said, ‘I will give them flesh, that they may eat a whole month.’

²¹Moses svarede: "600000 Fodfolk tæller det Folk, jeg bar om mig, og du siger: Jeg vil skaffe dem Kød, så de har nok at spise en hel Måned!

²²Shall flocks and herds be slaughtered for them, to be sufficient for them? Shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to be sufficient for them?”

²²Kan der slagtes så meget Småkvæg og Hornkvæg til dem, at det kan slå til, eller kan alle Fisk i Havet samles sammen til dem, så det kan slå til?"

²³Yahweh said to Moses, “Has Yahweh’s hand grown short? Now you will see whether my word will happen to you or not.”

²³HERREN svarede Moses: "Er HERRENs Arm for kort? Nu skal du få at se, om mit Ord går i Opfyldelse for dig eller ej."

²⁴Moses went out, and told the people the words of Yahweh; and he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them around the Tent.

²⁴Da gik Moses ud og kundgjorde Folket HERRENs Ord. Og han samlede halvfjerdsindstyve af Folkets Ældste og lod dem stille sig rundt om Teltet.

²⁵Yahweh came down in the cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the Spirit that was on him, and put it on the seventy elders: and it happened that when the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied, but they did so no more.

²⁵Så steg HERREN ned i Skyen og talede til ham; og han tog noget af den Ånd, der var over ham, og lod den komme over de halvfjerdsindstyve Ældste, og da Ånden hvilede over dem, kom de i profetisk Henrykkelse noget, som ikke siden hændtes dem.

²⁶But two men remained in the camp. The name of one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the Spirit rested on them; and they were of those who were written, but had not gone out to the Tent; and they prophesied in the camp.

²⁶Imidlertid var to Mænd blevet tilbage i Lejren, den ene hed Eldad, den anden Medad. Også over dem kom Ånden, thi de hørte til dem, der var optegnede, men de var ikke gået ud til Teltet, og nu kom de i profetisk Henrykkelse inde i Lejren.

²⁷A young man ran, and told Moses, and said, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp!”

²⁷Da løb en ung Mand ud og fortalte Moses det og sagde: "Eldad og Medad er kommet i profetisk Henrykkelse inde i Lejren."

²⁸Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his chosen men, answered, “My lord Moses, forbid them!”

²⁸Josua, Nuns Søn, der fra sin Ungdom af havde gået Moses til Hånde, sagde da: "Min Herre Moses, stands dem i det!"

²⁹Moses said to him, “Are you jealous for my sake? I wish that all Yahweh’s people were prophets, that Yahweh would put his Spirit on them!”

²⁹Men Moses sagde til ham: "Er du skinsyg på mine Vegne? Gid alt HERRENs Folk var Profeter, gid HERREN vilde lade sin Ånd komme over dem!"

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

³⁰Derpå trak Moses sig tilbage til Lejren med Israels Ældste.

³¹A wind from Yahweh went out and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, about a day’s journey on this side, and a day’s journey on the other side, around the camp, and about two cubits above the surface of the earth.

³¹Da rejste der sig på HERRENs Bud en Vind, som førte Vagtler med sig fra Havet og drev dem hen over Lejren så langt som en Dagsrejse på begge Sider af Lejren i en Højde af et Par Alen over Jorden.

³²The people rose up all that day, and all the night, and all the next day, and gathered the quails. He who gathered least gathered ten homers; 1 homer is about 220 litres or 6 bushels and they spread them all abroad for themselves around the camp.

³²Så gav Folket sig hele den Dag, hele Natten og hele den næste Dag til at samle Vagtlerne op; det mindste, nogen samlede, var ti Homer. Og de bredte dem ud til Tørring rundt om Lejren.

³³While the flesh was yet between their teeth, before it was chewed, the anger of Yahweh was kindled against the people, and Yahweh struck the people with a very great plague.

³³Medens Kødet endnu var imellem Tænderne på dem, før det endnu var spist, blussede HERRENs Vrede op imod Folket, og HERREN lod en meget hård Straf ramme Folket.

³⁴The name of that place was called Kibroth Hattaavah, Kibroth Hattaavah means “graves of lust.” because there they buried the people who lusted.

³⁴Og man kaldte Stedet Kibrot Hattåva, thi der blev de lystne Folk jordet.

³⁵From Kibroth Hattaavah the people traveled to Hazeroth; and they stayed at Hazeroth.

³⁵Fra Kibrot-Hattåva drog Folket til Hazerot, og de gjorde Holdt i Hazerot.
