Numbers 11
|
| Depois o povo tornou-se queixoso, falando o que era mau aos ouvidos do Senhor; e quando o Senhor o ouviu, acendeu-se a sua ira; o fogo do Senhor irrompeu entre eles, e devorou as extremidades do arraial. | Now the people were saying evil against the Lord; and the Lord, hearing it, was angry and sent fire on them, burning the outer parts of the tent-circle. |
| Então o povo clamou a Moisés, e Moisés orou ao Senhor, e o fogo se apagou. | And the people made an outcry to Moses, and Moses made prayer to the Lord, and the fire was stopped. |
| Pelo que se chamou aquele lugar Tabera, porquanto o fogo do Senhor se acendera entre eles. | So that place was named Taberah, because of the fire of the Lord which had been burning among them. |
| Ora, o vulgo que estava no meio deles veio a ter grande desejo; pelo que os filhos de Israel também tornaram a chorar, e disseram: Quem nos dará carne a comer? | And the mixed band of people who went with them were overcome by desire: and the children of Israel, weeping again, said, Who will give us flesh for our food? |
| Lembramo-nos dos peixes que no Egito comíamos de graça, e dos pepinos, dos melões, dos porros, das cebolas e dos alhos. | Sweet is the memory of the fish we had in Egypt for nothing, and the fruit and green plants of every sort, sharp and pleasing to the taste: |
| Mas agora a nossa alma se seca; coisa nenhuma há senão este maná diante dos nossos olhos. | But now our soul is wasted away; there is nothing at all: we have nothing but this manna before our eyes. |
| E era o maná como a semente do coentro, e a sua aparência como a aparência de bdélio. | Now the manna was like a seed of grain, like small clear drops. |
| O povo espalhava-se e o colhia, e, triturando-o em moinhos ou pisando-o num gral, em panelas o cozia, e dele fazia bolos; e o seu sabor era como o sabor de azeite fresco. | The people went about taking it up from the earth, crushing it between stones or hammering it to powder, and boiling it in pots, and they made cakes of it: its taste was like the taste of cakes cooked with oil. |
| E, quando o orvalho descia de noite sobre o arraial, sobre ele descia também o maná. | When the dew came down on the tents at night, the manna came down with it. |
| Então Moisés ouviu chorar o povo, todas as suas famílias, cada qual à porta da sua tenda; e a ira do Senhor grandemente se acendeu; e aquilo pareceu mal aos olhos de Moisés. | And at the sound of the people weeping, every man at his tent-door, the wrath of the Lord was great, and Moses was very angry. |
| Disse, pois, Moisés ao Senhor: Por que fizeste mal a teu servo, e por que não achei graça aos teus olhos, pois que puseste sobre mim o peso de todo este povo. | And Moses said to the Lord, Why have you done me this evil? and why have I not grace in your eyes, that you have put on me the care of all this people? |
| Concebi eu porventura todo este povo? dei-o eu à luz, para que me dissesses: Leva-o ao teu colo, como a ama leva a criança de peito, para a terra que com juramento prometeste a seus pais? | Am I the father of all this people? have I given them birth, that you say to me, Take them in your arms, like a child at the breast, to the land which you gave by an oath to their fathers? |
| Donde teria eu carne para dar a todo este povo? porquanto choram diante de mim, dizendo: Dá-nos carne a comer. | Where am I to get flesh to give to all this people? For they are weeping to me and saying, Give us flesh for our food. |
| Eu só não posso: levar a todo este povo, porque me é pesado demais. | I am not able by myself to take the weight of all this people, for it is more than my strength. |
| Se tu me hás de tratar assim, mata-me, peço-te, se tenho achado graça aos teus olhos; e não me deixes ver a minha miséria. | If this is to be my fate, put me to death now in answer to my prayer, if I have grace in your eyes; and let me not see my shame. |
| Disse então o Senhor a Moisés: Ajunta-me setenta homens dos anciãos de Israel, que sabes serem os anciãos do povo e seus oficiais; e os trarás perante a tenda da revelação, para que estejam ali contigo. | And the Lord said to Moses, Send for seventy of the responsible men of Israel, who are in your opinion men of weight and authority over the people; make them come to the Tent of meeting and be there with you. |
| Então descerei e ali falarei contigo, e tirarei do espírito que está sobre ti, e o porei sobre eles; e contigo levarão eles o peso do povo para que tu não o leves só. | And I will come down and have talk with you there: and I will take some of the spirit which is on you and put it on them, and they will take part of the weight of the people off you, so that you do not have to take it by yourself. |
| E dirás ao povo: Santificai-vos para amanhã, e comereis carne; porquanto chorastes aos ouvidos do Senhor, dizendo: Quem nos dará carne a comer? pois bem nos ia no Egito. Pelo que o Senhor vos dará carne, e comereis. | And say to the people, Make yourselves clean before tomorrow and you will have flesh for your food: for in the ears of the Lord you have been weeping and saying, Who will give us flesh for food? for we were well off in Egypt: and so the Lord will give you flesh, and it will be your food; |
| Não comereis um dia, nem dois dias, nem cinco dias, nem dez dias, nem vinte dias; | Not for one day only, or even for five or ten or twenty days; |
| mas um mês inteiro, até vos sair pelas narinas, até que se vos torne coisa nojenta; porquanto rejeitastes ao Senhor, que está no meio de vós, e chorastes diante dele, dizendo: Por que saímos do Egito? | But every day for a month, till you are tired of it, turning from it in disgust: because you have gone against the Lord who is with you, and have been weeping before him saying, Why did we come out of Egypt? |
| Respondeu Moisés: Seiscentos mil homens de pé é este povo no meio do qual estou; todavia tu tens dito: Dar-lhes-ei carne, e comerão um mês inteiro. | Then Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand men on foot; and you have said, I will give them flesh to be their food for a month. |
| Matar-se-ão para eles rebanhos e gados, que lhes bastem? ou ajuntar-se-ão, para eles todos os peixes do mar, que lhes bastem? | Are flocks and herds to be put to death for them? or are all the fish in the sea to be got together so that they may be full? |
| Pelo que replicou o Senhor a Moisés: Porventura tem-se encurtado a mão do Senhor? agora mesmo verás se a minha palavra se há de cumprir ou não. | And the Lord said to Moses, Has the Lord's hand become short? Now you will see if my word comes true for you or not. |
| Saiu, pois, Moisés, e relatou ao povo as palavras do Senhor; e ajuntou setenta homens dentre os anciãos do povo e os colocou ao redor da tenda. | And Moses went out and gave the people the words of the Lord: and he took seventy of the responsible men of the people, placing them round the Tent. |
| Então o Senhor desceu: na nuvem, e lhe falou; e, tirando do espírito que estava sobre ele, pô-lo sobre aqueles setenta anciãos; e aconteceu que, quando o espírito repousou sobre eles profetizaram, mas depois nunca mais o fizeram. | Then the Lord came down in the cloud and had talk with him, and put on the seventy men some of the spirit which was on him: now when the spirit came to rest on them, they were like prophets, but only at that time. |
| Mas no arraial ficaram dois homens; chamava-se um Eldade, e o outro Medade; e repousou sobre eles: o espírito, porquanto estavam entre os inscritos, ainda que não saíram para irem à tenda; e profetizavam no arraial. | But two men were still in the tent-circle one of them named Eldad and the other Medad: and the spirit came to rest on them; they were among those who had been sent for, but they had not gone out to the Tent: and the prophet's power came on them in the tent-circle. |
| Correu, pois, um moço, etenho dado os levitas a Arão e a Eldade e Medade profetizaram no arraial. | And a young man went running to Moses and said, Eldad and Medad are acting as prophets in the tent-circle. |
| Então Josué, filho de Num, servidor de Moisés, um dos seus mancebos escolhidos, respondeu e disse: Meu Senhor Moisés, proíbe-lho. | Then Joshua, the son of Nun, who had been Moses' servant from the time when he was a child, said, My lord Moses, let them be stopped. |
| Moisés, porém, lhe disse: Tens tu ciúmes por mim? Oxalá que do povo do Senhor todos fossem profetas, que o Senhor pusesse o seu espírito sobre eles! | And Moses said to him, Are you moved by envy on my account? If only all the Lord's people were prophets, and the Lord might put his spirit on them! |
| Depois Moisés se recolheu ao arraial, ele e os anciãos de Israel. | Then Moses, with the responsible men of Israel, went back to the tent-circle. |
| Soprou, então, um vento da parte do Senhor e, do lado do mar, trouxe codornizes que deixou cair junto ao arraial quase caminho de um dia de um e de outro lado, à roda do arraial, a cerca de dois côvados da terra. | Then the Lord sent a wind, driving little birds from the sea, so that they came down on the tents, and all round the tent-circle, about a day's journey on this side and on that, in masses about two cubits high over the face of the earth. |
| Então o povo, levantando-se, colheu as codornizes por todo aquele dia e toda aquela noite, e por todo o dia seguinte; o que colheu menos, colheu dez hômeres. E as estenderam para si ao redor do arraial. | And all that day and all night and the day after, the people were taking up the birds; the smallest amount which anyone got was ten homers: and they put them out all round the tents. |
| Quando a carne ainda estava entre os seus dentes, antes que fosse mastigada, acendeu-se a ira do Senhor contra o povo, e feriu o Senhor ao povo com uma praga, mui grande. | But while the meat was still between their teeth, before it was tasted, the wrath of the Lord was moved against the people and he sent a great outburst of disease on them. |
| Pelo que se chamou aquele lugar Quibrote-Hataavá, porquanto ali enterraram o povo que tivera o desejo. | So that place was named Kibroth-hattaavah; because there they put in the earth the bodies of the people who had given way to their desires. |
| De Quibrote-Hataavá partiu o povo para Hazerote; e demorou-se em Hazerote. | From Kibroth-hattaavah the people went on to Hazeroth; and there they put up their tents. |
