1 D epois 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 complained about their troubles in the hearing of the Lord. When the Lord heard it, His anger burned. The fire of the Lord burned among them, and destroyed some around the outer parts of the tents.

2 E ntão o povo clamou a Moisés, e Moisés orou ao Senhor, e o fogo se apagou.

Then the people cried to Moses and he prayed to the Lord, and the fire went out.

3 P elo que se chamou aquele lugar Tabera, porquanto o fogo do Senhor se acendera entre eles.

So the name of that place was called Taberah, because the fire of the Lord burned among them.

4 O ra, 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?

The mixed group of people among them had strong desires. The people of Israel cried again and said, “Who will give us meat to eat?

5 L embramo-nos dos peixes que no Egito comíamos de graça, e dos pepinos, dos melões, dos porros, das cebolas e dos alhos.

We remember all the fish we could eat free in Egypt, and all the fruit and vegetables and spices.

6 M as agora a nossa alma se seca; coisa nenhuma há senão este maná diante dos nossos olhos.

But now our strength is gone. There is nothing at all to look at except this bread from heaven.”

7 E era o maná como a semente do coentro, e a sua aparência como a aparência de bdélio.

Now the bread from heaven was like coriander seed, and it looked like bdellium.

8 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 would go and gather it and beat it between stones. They boiled it in a pot or made bread with it. It tasted like bread made with oil.

9 E , quando o orvalho descia de noite sobre o arraial, sobre ele descia também o maná.

When the grass became wet around the tents at night, the bread from heaven would fall.

10 E ntão Moisés ouviu chorar o povo, todas as suas famílias, cada qual ã porta da sua tenda; e a ira do Senhor grandemente se acendeu; e aquilo pareceu mal aos olhos de Moisés.

Moses heard all the people crying in every family, each man at the door of his tent. The Lord became very angry with them and Moses was not pleased.

11 D isse, 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.

So Moses said to the Lord, “Why have You been so hard on Your servant? Why have I not found favor in Your eyes, that You have laid the troubles of all these people on me?

12 C oncebi eu porventura todo este povo? dei-o eu ã 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?

Did I give birth to all these people? Did I bring them out, that You should say to me, ‘Carry them close to your heart as a nurse carries a nursing baby, to the land You promised their fathers’?

13 D onde 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 meat to give to all these people? They cry in front of me, saying, ‘Give us meat so we may eat!’

14 E u só não posso: levar a todo este povo, porque me é pesado demais.

I am not able to carry all these people alone. The load is too heavy for me.

15 S e 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.

So if You are going to act this way toward me, I beg You to kill me now, if I have found favor in Your eyes. Do not let me see how bad off I am.” The Seventy Leaders

16 D isse 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.

The Lord said to Moses, “Gather for Me seventy men from the leaders of Israel, whom you know to be the leaders of the people, the men who rule over them. Bring them to the meeting tent and let them stand there with you.

17 E ntão 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.

Then I will come down and speak with you there. I will take of the Spirit Who is upon you, and will put Him upon them. Then they will carry the troubles of the people with you so you will not carry them all alone.

18 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.

Say to the people, ‘Make yourselves holy for tomorrow, and you will eat meat. The Lord heard you when you cried and said, “If only someone would give us meat to eat! For it was well with us in Egypt.” So the Lord will give you meat and you will eat.

19 N ão comereis um dia, nem dois dias, nem cinco dias, nem dez dias, nem vinte dias;

You will not eat it for only one day, or two days, or five days, or ten days, or twenty days.

20 m as 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 you will eat it a whole month, until it comes out of your nose and you hate it, because you have turned away from the Lord Who is among you. You have cried before Him, saying, “Why did we ever leave Egypt?”’”

21 R espondeu 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.

But Moses said, “The people whom I am among are 600, 000 on foot. And You have said, ‘I will give them meat so they may eat for a whole month.’

22 M atar-se-ão para eles rebanhos e gados, que lhes bastem? ou ajuntar-se-ão, para eles todos os peixes do mar, que lhes bastem?

Will enough flocks and cattle be killed to feed them? Or will enough fish be gathered from the sea to feed them?”

23 P elo 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.

The Lord said to Moses, “Is there an end to the Lord’s power? Now you will see if My Word will come true for you or not.”

24 S aiu, 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.

So Moses went out and told the people the words of the Lord. And he gathered seventy men from the leaders of the people, and had them stand around the meeting tent.

25 E ntão 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 spoke to him. He took of the Spirit Who was upon him and put Him upon the seventy leaders. When the Spirit rested upon them, they spoke the word of the Lord. But they did not do it again.

26 M as 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 ã tenda; e profetizavam no arraial.

But two men had stayed among the tents. Their names were Eldad and Medad, and the Spirit rested upon them. They were among those who had been chosen, but had not gone out to the meeting tent. So they spoke the word of the Lord among the tents.

27 C orreu, pois, um moço, etenho dado os levitas a Arão e a Eldade e Medade profetizaram no arraial.

A young man ran and told Moses, “Eldad and Medad are speaking the word of the Lord among the tents.”

28 E ntão 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, the helper of Moses since he was young, said, “Moses, my lord, do not let them.”

29 M oisés, 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!

But Moses said to him, “Are you jealous for my good? If only all the Lord’s people would speak for God, that the Lord would put His Spirit upon them!”

30 D epois Moisés se recolheu ao arraial, ele e os anciãos de Israel.

Then Moses and the leaders of Israel returned to the tents. The Lord Sends Quails

31 S oprou, 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, ã roda do arraial, a cerca de dois côvados da terra.

Now a wind went out from the Lord. It brought quail from the sea, and let them fall beside the place where the tents were set up. They fell all around the tents, about as far on each side as it takes to travel in a day. They lay on the ground as deep as two cubits.

32 E ntão 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.

The people worked all day and all night and all the next day gathering the quail. He who gathered the least gathered enough to fill 110 baskets. And they spread them out for themselves all around the tents.

33 Q uando 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.

While the meat was still between their teeth and not yet eaten, the Lord became angry with the people. The Lord sent a bad sickness upon the people.

34 P elo que se chamou aquele lugar Quibrote-Hataavá, porquanto ali enterraram o povo que tivera o desejo.

So the name of that place was called Kibroth-hattaavah. Because there they buried the people who had wanted meat to eat.

35 D e Quibrote-Hataavá partiu o povo para Hazerote; e demorou-se em Hazerote.

The people left Kibroth-hattaavah and went to Hazeroth. And they stayed at Hazeroth.
