和合本
11:1
眾百姓發怨言,他們的惡語達到耶和華的耳中。耶和華聽見了就怒氣發作,使火在他們中間焚燒,直燒到營的邊界。
11:2 百姓向摩西哀求,摩西祈求耶和華,火就熄了。
11:3 那地方便叫做他備拉,因為耶和華的火燒在他們中間。
11:4 他們中間的閒雜人大起貪慾的心;以色列人又哭號說:「誰給我們肉吃呢?
11:5 我們記得,在埃及的時候不花錢就吃魚,也記得有黃瓜、西瓜、韭菜、蔥、蒜。
11:6 現在我們的心血枯竭了,除這嗎哪以外,在我們眼前並沒有別的東西。」
11:7 這嗎哪彷彿芫荽子,又好像珍珠。
11:8
百姓周圍行走,把嗎哪收起來,或用磨推,或用臼搗,煮在鍋中,又做成餅,滋味好像新油。
11:9 夜間露水降在營中,嗎哪也隨著降下。
11:10 摩西聽見百姓,各在各家的帳棚門口哭號。耶和華的怒氣便大發作,摩西就不喜悅。
11:11
摩西對耶和華說:「你為何苦待僕人?我為何不在你眼前蒙恩,竟把這管理百姓的重任加在我身上呢?
11:12
這百姓豈是我懷的胎,豈是我生下來的呢?你竟對我說:『把他們抱在懷裡,如養育之父抱吃奶的孩子,直抱到你起誓應許給他們祖宗的地去。』
11:13 我從那裡得肉給這百姓吃呢?他們都向我哭號說:『你給我們肉吃吧!』
11:14 管理這百姓的責任太重了,我獨自擔當不起。
11:15 你這樣待我,我若在你眼前蒙恩,求你立時將我殺了,不叫我見自己的苦情。」

在他備拉發怨言
11:1
人民遇到了困難,開始埋怨上主。上主聽見了就發怒,降火在他們中間,燒毀了營地的一端。
11:2 人民向摩西哀求。摩西禱告上主,火就熄了。
11:3 那地方叫他備拉【2】,因為上主的火曾在那裏焚燒他們。
摩西挑選七十長老
11:4
有些外族人跟以色列人同行;他們很想吃肉。以色列人也開始埋怨說:「要是我們有肉吃多好呢!
11:5 在埃及的時候,我們常吃魚,不用花錢;還有黃瓜、西瓜、韭菜、蔥、蒜等好吃的東西。
11:6 現在我們沒有力氣了。每天除了嗎哪,甚麼東西都沒得吃!」
11:7 嗎哪的形狀像芫荽子,色近乳白,
11:8
每天晚上跟露水一起落在營地。第二天清晨,人民出去撿取,把它磨碎或搗碎成粉,然後煮一煮,做成餅。它的味道像用橄欖油烤的餅。
11:9 併於上節
11:10 摩西聽見人民成群地站在他們的帳棚門口哀哭,發牢騷。上主向人民發怒;摩西心裏很難過,
11:11 他對上主說:「你為甚麼這樣苦待我?為甚麼這樣不喜歡我?為甚麼要我負責帶領這些人民?
11:12 我並沒有造他們或生他們,為甚麼你要我作褓姆,把他們像嬰兒一樣抱在懷裏,一直抱到你應許給他們祖先的土地呢?
11:13 我到哪裏去找那麼多肉給他們吃呢?他們不斷地發牢騷要吃肉!
11:14 我一個人沒有辦法管理他們;我承受不了!
11:15 如果你要這樣待我,求你可憐我,把我殺了,使我不必再忍受這樣的折磨。」
思想問題:我在哪些狀況下容易抱怨?以色列百姓在曠野抱怨的後果給我什麼提醒?

RSV
11:1 And the people complained in the hearing of
the LORD about their misfortunes; and when the LORD heard it, his anger
was kindled, and the fire of the LORD burned among them, and consumed
some outlying parts of the camp.
11:2 Then the people cried to Moses; and
Moses prayed to the LORD, and the fire abated.
11:3 So the name of that place was called
Tab'erah, because the fire of the LORD burned among them.
11:4 Now the rabble that was among them had a
strong craving; and the people of Israel also wept again, and said, "O
that we had meat to eat!
11:5 We remember the fish we ate in Egypt for
nothing, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the
garlic;
11:6 but now our strength is dried up, and
there is nothing at all but this manna to look at."
11:7 Now the manna was like coriander seed,
and its appearance like that of bdellium.
11:8 The people went about and gathered it,
and ground it in mills or beat it in mortars, and boiled it in pots, and
made cakes of it; and the taste of it was like the taste of cakes baked
with oil.
11:9 When the dew fell upon the camp in the
night, the manna fell with it.
11:10 Moses heard the people weeping
throughout their families, every man at the door of his tent; and the
anger of the LORD blazed hotly, and Moses was displeased.
11:11 Moses said to the LORD, "Why hast thou
dealt ill with thy servant? And why have I not found favor in thy
sight, that thou dost lay the burden of all this people upon me?
11:12 Did I conceive all this people? Did I
bring them forth, that thou shouldst say to me, `Carry them in your
bosom, as a nurse carries the sucking child, to the land which thou
didst swear to give their fathers?'
11:13 Where am I to get meat to give to all
this people? For they weep before me and say, `Give us meat, that we may
eat.'
11:14 I am not able to carry all this people
alone, the burden is too heavy for me.
11:15 If thou wilt deal thus with me, kill
me at once, if I find favor in thy sight, that I may not see my
wretchedness."
