1众百姓发怨言，他们的恶语达到耶和华的耳中。耶和华听见了就怒气发作，使火在他们中间焚烧，直烧到营的边界。Soon the people began to complain about their hardship in the hearing of the LORD, and when He heard them, His anger was kindled, and fire from the LORD blazed among them and consumed the outskirts of the camp.
2百姓向摩西哀求，摩西祈求耶和华，火就熄了。And the people cried out to Moses, and he prayed to the LORD, and the fire died down.
3那地方便叫做，因为耶和华的火烧在他们中间。So that place was called Taberah, because the fire of the LORD had burned among them.
4他们中间的大起贪欲的心；以色列人又哭号说：“谁给我们肉吃呢？Meanwhile, the rabble among them had a strong craving for other food, and again the Israelites wept and said, “Who will feed us meat?
5我们记得，在埃及的时候不花钱就吃鱼，也记得有黄瓜、西瓜、韭菜、葱、蒜。We remember the fish we ate freely in Egypt, along with the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions, and garlic.
6现在我们的了，除这以外，在我们眼前并没有别的东西。”But now our appetite is gone; there is nothing to see but this manna!”
7（这吗哪仿佛芫荽子，又好像珍珠。Now the manna resembled coriander seed, and its appearance was like that of gum resin.
8百姓周围行走，把吗哪收起来，或用磨推，或用臼捣，煮在锅中，又做成饼，滋味好像新油。The people walked around and gathered it, ground it on a handmill or crushed it in a mortar, then boiled it in a cooking pot or shaped it into cakes. It tasted like pastry baked with fine oil.
9夜间露水降在营中，吗哪也随着降下。）When the dew fell on the camp at night, the manna would fall with it.
10摩西听见百姓各在各家的帐棚门口哭号。耶和华的怒气便大发作，摩西就不喜悦。Then Moses heard the people of family after family weeping at the entrances to their tents, and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly, and Moses was also displeased.
11摩西对耶和华说：“你为何苦待仆人？我为何不在你眼前蒙恩，竟把这管理百姓的重任加在我身上呢？So Moses asked the LORD, “Why have You brought this trouble on Your servant? Why have I not found favor in Your sight, that You have laid upon me the burden of all these people?
12这百姓岂是我怀的胎，岂是我生下来的呢？你竟对我说：‘把他们抱在怀里，如抱吃奶的孩子，直抱到你起誓应许给他们祖宗的地去。’Did I conceive all these people? Did I give them birth, so that You should tell me, ‘Carry them in your bosom, as a nurse carries an infant,’ to the land that You swore to give their fathers?
13我从哪里得肉给这百姓吃呢？他们都向我哭号说：‘你给我们肉吃吧！’Where can I get meat for all these people? For they keep crying out to me, ‘Give us meat to eat!’
14管理这百姓的责任太重了，我独自担当不起。I cannot carry all these people by myself; it is too burdensome for me.
15你这样待我，我若在你眼前蒙恩，求你立时将我杀了，不叫我见自己的苦情。”If this is how You are going to treat me, please kill me right now—if I have found favor in Your eyes—and let me not see my own wretchedness.”
16耶和华对摩西说：“你从以色列的长老中招聚七十个人，就是你所知道作百姓的长老和官长的，到我这里来，领他们到会幕前，使他们和你一同站立。Then the LORD said to Moses, “Bring Me seventy of the elders of Israel known to you as leaders and officers of the people. Bring them to the Tent of Meeting and have them stand there with you.
17我要在那里降临，与你说话，也要把降于你身上的灵分赐他们，他们就和你同当这管百姓的重任，免得你独自担当。And I will come down and speak with you there, and I will take some of the Spirit that is on you and put that Spirit on them. They will help you bear the burden of the people, so that you do not have to bear it by yourself.
18又要对百姓说：‘你们应当自洁，预备明天吃肉，因为你们哭号说：谁给我们肉吃！我们在埃及很好。这声音达到了耶和华的耳中，所以他必给你们肉吃。And say to the people: Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, and you will eat meat, because you have cried out in the hearing of the LORD, saying: ‘Who will feed us meat? For we were better off in Egypt!’ Therefore the LORD will give you meat, and you will eat.
19你们不止吃一天、两天、五天、十天、二十天，You will eat it not for one or two days, nor for five or ten or twenty days,
20要吃一个整月，甚至肉从你们鼻孔里喷出来，使你们厌恶了，因为你们厌弃住在你们中间的耶和华，在他面前哭号说：我们为何出了埃及呢！’”but for a whole month—until it comes out of your nostrils and makes you nauseous—because you have rejected the LORD, who is among you, and have cried out before Him, saying, ‘Why did we ever leave Egypt?’”
21摩西对耶和华说：“这与我同住的百姓、步行的男人有六十万，你还说：‘我要把肉给他们，使他们可以吃一个整月。’But Moses replied, “Here I am among 600,000 men on foot, yet You say, ‘I will give them meat, and they will eat for a month.’
22难道给他们宰了羊群牛群，或是把海中所有的鱼都聚了来，就够他们吃吗？”If all our flocks and herds were slaughtered for them, would they have enough? Or if all the fish in the sea were caught for them, would they have enough?”
23耶和华对摩西说：“耶和华的吗？现在要看我的话向你应验不应验。”The LORD answered Moses, “Is the LORD’s arm too short? Now you will see whether or not My word will come to pass.”
24摩西出去，将耶和华的话告诉百姓，又招聚百姓的长老中七十个人来，使他们站在会幕的四围。So Moses went out and relayed to the people the words of the LORD, and he gathered seventy of the elders of the people and had them stand around the tent.
25耶和华在云中降临，对摩西说话，把降与他身上的灵分赐那七十个长老。灵停在他们身上的时候，他们就受感说话，以后却没有再说。Then the LORD came down in the cloud and spoke to him, and He took some of the Spirit that was on Moses and placed that Spirit on the seventy elders. As the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied—but they never did so again.
26但有两个人仍在营里，一个名叫伊利达，一个名叫米达。他们本是在那些被录的人中，却没有到会幕那里去。灵停在他们身上，他们就在营里说预言。Two men, however, had remained in the camp—one named Eldad and the other Medad—and the Spirit rested on them. They were among those listed, but they had not gone out to the tent, and they prophesied in the camp.
27有个少年人跑来告诉摩西说：“伊利达、米达在营里说预言。”A young man ran and reported to Moses, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.”
28摩西的帮手，嫩的儿子，就是摩西所拣选的一个人，说：“请我主摩西禁止他们。”Joshua son of Nun, the attendant to Moses since youth, spoke up and said, “Moses, my lord, stop them!”
29摩西对他说：“你为我的缘故嫉妒人吗？惟愿耶和华的百姓都受感说话！愿耶和华把他的灵降在他们身上！”But Moses replied, “Are you jealous on my account? I wish that all the LORD’s people were prophets and that the LORD would place His Spirit on them!”
30于是，摩西和以色列的长老都回到营里去。Then Moses returned to the camp, along with the elders of Israel.
31有风从耶和华那里刮起，把由海面刮来，飞散在营边和营的四围；这边约有一天的路程，那边约有一天的路程，离地面约有二肘。Now a wind sent by the LORD came up, drove in quail from the sea, and brought them near the camp, about two cubits above the surface of the ground, for a day’s journey in every direction around the camp.
32百姓起来，终日终夜，并次日一整天，捕取鹌鹑；至少的也取了十，为自己摆列在营的四围。All that day and night, and all the next day, the people stayed up gathering the quail. No one gathered less than ten homers, and they spread them out all around the camp.
33肉在他们牙齿之间尚未嚼烂，耶和华的怒气就向他们发作，用最重的灾殃击杀了他们。But while the meat was still between their teeth, before it was chewed, the anger of the LORD burned against the people, and the LORD struck them with a severe plague.
34那地方便叫做基博罗·哈他瓦（就是贪欲之人的坟墓），因为他们在那里葬埋那起贪欲之心的人。So they called that place Kibroth-hattaavah, because there they buried the people who had craved other food.
35百姓从基博罗·哈他瓦走到哈洗录，就住在哈洗录。From Kibroth-hattaavah the people moved on to Hazeroth, where they remained for some time.
