26.但有兩個人仍在營裏,一個名叫伊利達,一個名叫米達。他們本是在那些被錄的人中,卻沒有到會幕那裏去。靈停在他們身上,他們就在營裏說預言。
However, two men, whose names were Eldad and Medad, had remained in the camp. They were listed among the elders, but did not go out to the tent. Yet the Spirit also rested on them, and they prophesied in the camp.
27.有個少年人跑來告訴摩西說:「伊利達、米達在營裏說預言。」
A young man ran and told Moses, 「Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.」
28.摩西的幫手,嫩的兒子約書亞,就是摩西所揀選的一個人,說:「請我主摩西禁止他們。」
Joshua son of Nun, who had been Moses’ aide since youth, spoke up and said, 「Moses, my lord, stop them!」
29.摩西對他說:「你為我的緣故嫉妒人嗎?惟願耶和華的百姓都感受說話!願耶和華把他的靈降在他們身上!」
But Moses replied, 「Are you jealous for my sake? I wish that all the LORD’s people were prophets and that the LORD would put his Spirit on them!」
30.於是,摩西和以色列的長老都回到營裏去。
Then Moses and the elders of Israel returned to the camp.
