1 A ka takiamuamu te iwi, ka korero kino ki nga taringa o Ihowa: a, no te rongonga o Ihowa, ka mura tona riri; a ka ka te ahi a Ihowa i roto i a ratou, a pau ake te hunga i nga pito ki waho o te puni.

Now when the people complained, it displeased the Lord; for the Lord heard it, and His anger was aroused. So the fire of the Lord burned among them, and consumed some in the outskirts of the camp.

2 N a ka tangi te iwi ki a Mohi; a ka inoi a Mohi ki a Ihowa, na, ka mate te ahi.

Then the people cried out to Moses, and when Moses prayed to the Lord, the fire was quenched.

3 A huaina iho te ingoa o tena wahi ko Tapera: no te kaanga hoki o te ahi a Ihowa i roto i a ratou.

So he called the name of the place Taberah, because the fire of the Lord had burned among them.

4 N a ka minamina nga whakauru i roto i a ratou: me nga tama hoki a Iharaira i tangi ano, i mea, Ma wai e homai he kikokiko hei kai ma tatou?

Now the mixed multitude who were among them yielded to intense craving; so the children of Israel also wept again and said: “Who will give us meat to eat?

5 E mahara ana tatou ki nga ika i kainga noatia e tatou ki Ihipa; ki nga kukama, ki nga merengi, ki nga riki, ki nga aniana, me te karika:

We remember the fish which we ate freely in Egypt, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic;

6 K o tenei ia, kua maroke o tatou wairua; kahore rawa nei tetahi mea: kahore he mea ke hei tirohanga ma tatou ko tenei mana anake.

but now our whole being is dried up; there is nothing at all except this manna before our eyes!”

7 N a ko te rite o te mana kei te pua korianara; ko tona kara kei te kara teriuma.

Now the manna was like coriander seed, and its color like the color of bdellium.

8 I kopikopiko te iwi ki te kohi, a hurihia ana e ratou ki nga mira, i tukia ranei ki te kumete, a tunua ana e ratou ki te kohua, hanga ana hoki hei keke: ko tona reka kei to te hinu hou.

The people went about and gathered it, ground it on millstones or beat it in the mortar, cooked it in pans, and made cakes of it; and its taste was like the taste of pastry prepared with oil.

9 A , i te taunga iho o te haunui ki te puni i te po, i tau ano te mana ki runga.

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

10 A i rongo a Mohi i te iwi e tangi ana, puta noa i o ratou hapu, tenei, tenei, i te whatitoka o tona teneti: a he nui te muranga o te riri o Ihowa; a i kino hoki ki ta Mohi.

Then Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, everyone at the door of his tent; and the anger of the Lord was greatly aroused; Moses also was displeased.

11 N a ka mea a Mohi ki a Ihowa, He aha koe i whakatupu kino ai i tau pononga? he aha ahau te manakohia ai e koe, i whakawaha ai e koe tenei iwi katoa ki ahau?

So Moses said to the Lord, “Why have You afflicted Your servant? And why have I not found favor in Your sight, that You have laid the burden of all these people on me?

12 H e uri ianei noku tenei iwi katoa? i whanau ranei ratou i ahau, i mea ai koe ki ahau, Hikitia ki tou uma, kia rite ki ta te matu atawhai, ki tana hiki i te potiki, ki te whenua i oatitia e koe ki o ratou matua?

Did I conceive all these people? Did I beget them, that You should say to me, ‘Carry them in your bosom, as a guardian carries a nursing child,’ to the land which You swore to their fathers?

13 N o hea aku kikokiko hei hoatutanga maku ki tenei iwi katoa? e tangi mai ana hoki ratou ki ahau, e mea mai ana, Homai he kikokiko ki matou hei kai ma matou.

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

14 E kore tenei iwi katoa e taea e ahau anake te waha, he taimaha rawa maku.

I am not able to bear all these people alone, because the burden is too heavy for me.

15 A ki te penei tau mahi ki ahau, tena, whakamatea rawatia ahau, ki te mea kua manakohia mai ahau e koe; kaua hoki ahau e kite i te he moku.

If You treat me like this, please kill me here and now—if I have found favor in Your sight—and do not let me see my wretchedness!” The Seventy Elders

16 N a ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Huihuia mai ki ahau kia whitu tekau o nga kaumatua o Iharaira, au i mohio ai he kaumatua no te iwi, he rangatira no ratou; me kawe mai ratou ki te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, me tu tahi koutou ki reira.

So the Lord 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; bring them to the tabernacle of meeting, that they may stand there with you.

17 A maku e haere iho, e korero ki a koe ki reira: me tongo ano e ahau tetahi wahi o te wairua i runga i a koe, ka hoatu ki runga ki a ratou; a ko ratou hei hoa mou ki te waha i te pikaunga, ara i te iwi; kei waha e koe anake.

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

18 M e ki atu hoki e koe ki te iwi, Whakatapu i a koutou mo apopo a ka kai kikokiko koutou: kua tangi na hoki koutou ki nga taringa o Ihowa, kua mea, Ma wai e homai he kikokiko hei kai ma matou? he pai hoki nga mea i a matou i Ihipa: mo reira ka hom ai e Ihowa he kikokiko ki a koutou, a ka kai koutou.

Then you shall say to the people, ‘Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, and you shall eat meat; for you have wept in the hearing of the Lord, saying, “Who will give us meat to eat? For it was well with us in Egypt.” Therefore the Lord will give you meat, and you shall eat.

19 E kore e kotahi te ra e kai ai koutou, e kore ano hoki e rua nga ra, e kore e rima nga ra, e kore e tekau nga ra, e kore e rua tekau nga ra;

You shall eat, not one day, nor two days, nor five days, nor ten days, nor twenty days,

20 E ngari kia pau te marama, a puta noa i o koutou ihu, a ngaruru iho koutou: mo koutou i whakahawea ki a Ihowa e noho nei i waenganui i a koutou, i tangi hoki ki tona aroaro, i mea, He aha tatou i haere mai ai i Ihipa?

but for a whole month, until it comes out of your nostrils and becomes loathsome to you, because you have despised the Lord who is among you, and have wept before Him, saying, “Why did we ever come up out of Egypt?”’”

21 K o te iwi kei roto nei ahau i a ratou e ono rau mano, he hunga haere raro, a kua mea mai nei koe, Ka hoatu e ahau he kikokiko ki a ratou, a kia kotahi tino marama e kai ai ratou.

And Moses said, “The people whom I am among are six hundred thousand men on foot; yet You have said, ‘I will give them meat, that they may eat for a whole month.’

22 M e patu ranei nga hipi me nga kau ma ratou, kia rato ai ratou? me kohi mai ranei nga ika katoa o te moana ma ratou, kia rato ai ratou?

Shall flocks and herds be slaughtered for them, to provide enough for them? Or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to provide enough for them?”

23 A no ra ko Ihowa ki a Mohi, Kua mutua ranei te ringa o Ihowa? ka kite koe aianei he pono ranei taku kupu ki a koe, kahore ranei.

And the Lord said to Moses, “Has the Lord ’s arm been shortened? Now you shall see whether what I say will happen to you or not.”

24 N a ka puta a Mohi ki waho, a korerotia ana e ia nga kupu a Ihowa ki te iwi, a huihuia ana e ia e whitu tekau o nga kaumatua o te iwi, a whakaturia ana ki tetahi taha, ki tetahi taha o te tapenakara.

So Moses went out and told the people the words of the Lord, and he gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people and placed them around the tabernacle.

25 N a ko te hekenga iho o Ihowa i roto i te kapua, ko te korerotanga hoki ki a ia, na ka tangohia e ia tetahi wahi o te wairua i runga i a ia, a hoatu ana ki nga kaumatua e whitu tekau: a i te taunga iho o te wairua ki a ratou, ka poropiti ratou, a kore ake i pera i muri.

Then the Lord came down in the cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the Spirit that was upon him, and placed the same upon the seventy elders; and it happened, when the Spirit rested upon them, that they prophesied, although they never did so again.

26 A tokorua i mahue ki te puni, ko Ererara te ingoa o tetahi, ko Merara te ingoa o tetahi: na ko te taunga iho o te wairua ki runga ki a raua; no te hunga hoki raua i tuhituhia, otiia kihai i haere ki te tapenakara: na ka poropiti raua i roto i te puni.

But two men had remained in the camp: the name of one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad. And the Spirit rested upon them. Now they were among those listed, but who had not gone out to the tabernacle; yet they prophesied in the camp.

27 N a ka oma tetahi taitama ki te korero ki a Mohi, a ka mea, Kei te poropiti a Ererara raua ko Merara i roto i te puni.

And a young man ran and told Moses, and said, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.”

28 N a ko te ohonga o te tangata a Mohi, o Hohua tama a Nunu, ko tetahi hoki ia o ana taitamariki, ka mea, E toku ariki, e Mohi, riria raua.

So Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ assistant, one of his choice men, answered and said, “Moses my lord, forbid them!”

29 A no ra ko Mohi ki a ia, He whakaaro ki ahau i hae ai koe? he oranga ngakau ra me i poropiti katoa te iwi o Ihowa, me i tukua iho hoki e Ihowa tona wairua ki a ratou.

Then Moses said to him, “Are you zealous for my sake? Oh, that all the Lord ’s people were prophets and that the Lord would put His Spirit upon them!”

30 N a ka haere a Mohi ki roto ki te puni, a ia me nga kaumatua o Iharaira.

And Moses returned to the camp, he and the elders of Israel. The Lord Sends Quail

31 N a ka puta he hau i a Ihowa, a kawea ana mai nga koitareke i te moana, kua maka ki te taha o te puni, kia kotahi pea te ra e haere ai i tetahi taha, kia kotahi pea hoki te ra e haere ai i tera taha, a tawhio noa te puni, me te mea ano e rua what ianga te teitei i runga i te mata o te whenua.

Now a wind went out from the Lord, and it brought quail from the sea and left them fluttering near the camp, about a day’s journey on this side and about a day’s journey on the other side, all around the camp, and about two cubits above the surface of the ground.

32 N a ka tu te iwi a pau katoa taua ra, taua po katoa hoki, me te ra katoa hoki i te aonga ake, ki te kohikohi i nga koitareke: kotahi tekau nga homa a te tangata nana te kohinga iti: a horahorangia noatia atu ana e ratou hei kai ma ratou, a tawhio noa te puni.

And the people stayed up all that day, all night, and all the next day, and gathered the quail (he who gathered least gathered ten homers); and they spread them out for themselves all around the camp.

33 A , i te mea kei o ratou niho ano te kokokiko, i te mea kahore ano i ngaua noatia, na ka mura te riri o Ihowa ki te iwi, a whiua ana te iwi e Ihowa ki tetahi whiu nui rawa atu.

But while the meat was still between their teeth, before it was chewed, the wrath of the Lord was aroused against the people, and the Lord struck the people with a very great plague.

34 N a huaina iho e ia te ingoa o taua wahi ko Kipiroto Hataawa; no te mea i tanumia e ratou ki reira te hunga i minamina.

So he called the name of that place Kibroth Hattaavah, because there they buried the people who had yielded to craving.

35 N a ka turia atu e te iwi i Kipiroto Hataawa ki Hateroto; a noho ana i Hateroto.

From Kibroth Hattaavah the people moved to Hazeroth, and camped at Hazeroth.
