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.

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

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?’

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

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.”

¹⁷ Ay mo ga zumbu ka salaŋ ni se noodin. Ay ga sambu Biya kaŋ go ni boŋ din gaa, k'a dake i boŋ. Ngey mo ma borey jarawo jare ni banda, hala ni bumbo ma s'a jare, ni hinne.

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.

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.

¹⁸ Ma ne mo jama se: Wa araŋ boŋ fay waani hala suba, araŋ ga ham ŋwa mo. Zama araŋ hẽ Rabbi hangey ra ka ne: ‹May no g'iri no ham iri ma ŋwa? Zama iri goro baani Misira.› Woodin sabbay se no Rabbi g'araŋ no ham, araŋ g'a ŋwa mo.
