Kwan 14

1 Otienono oganda duto mag gwengʼ notingʼo dwondgi malo mi giywak matek.

Then all the people gave load cries of grief, and all that night they gave themselves up to weeping.

2 Jo-Israel duto nongʼur ne Musa kod Harun, kendo chokruok mar oganda duto nowachonegi niya, “Donge dine ber ka watho Misri? Kata mana e thim ka!

And all the children of Israel, crying out against Moses and Aaron, said, If only we had come to our death in the land of Egypt, or even in this waste land!

3 Angʼo momiyo Jehova Nyasaye kelowa e pinyni mondo negwa gi ligangla? Mondewa kod nyithindwa ibiro kaw mana kaka gik moyaki. Donge deber ka wadok Misri?”

Why is the Lord taking us into this land to come to our death by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will get into strange hands: would it not be better for us to go back to Egypt?

4 Kendo negiwacho e kindgi giwegi niya, “Onego wayier jatelo mondo wadog Misri.”

And they said to one another, Let us make a captain over us, and go back to Egypt.

5 Eka Musa kod Harun nopodho auma e nyim chokruok mar oganda Israel duto mane ochokore kanyo.

Then Moses and Aaron went down on their faces before the meeting of the people.

6 Joshua wuod Nun kod Kaleb wuod Jefune, ma gin achiel kuom joma ne odhi nono piny Kanaan, noyiecho lepgi

And Joshua, the son of Nun, and Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, two of those who had been to see the land, giving signs of grief,

7 mi owacho ne chokruok mar oganda jo-Israel duto niya, “Piny mane wakalo e iye kendo wanono ber miwuoro.

Said to all the children of Israel, This land which we went through to see is a very good land.

8 Ka dipo ni Jehova Nyasaye mor kodwa, to obiro telonwa nyaka e pinyno, piny mopongʼ gi chak kod mor kich, kendo obiro miyowa pinyno.

And if the Lord has delight in us, he will take us into this land and give it to us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

9 Gima utim en ni kik ungʼanyne Jehova Nyasaye. Kik uluor jopinyno, nikech wabiro mwonyogi duto. Jarit mag-gi osea, to wan to Jehova Nyasaye nikodwa kendo kik uluorgi.”

Only, do not go against the Lord or go in fear of the people of the land, for they will be our food; their strength has been taken from them and the Lord is with us: have no fear of them.

10 To chokruok mar oganda duto nowuoyo e kindgi giwegi mondo gichielgi gi kite. Eka duongʼ mar Jehova Nyasaye nothinyore ne jo-Israel duto e Hemb Romo.

But all the people said they were to be stoned. Then the glory of the Lord was seen in the Tent of meeting, before the eyes of all the children of Israel.

11 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya, “Nyaka karangʼo ma jogi biro jarae? Nyaka karangʼo ma jogi biro tamore yie kuoma, kata bangʼ timo honni mopogore opogore e kindgi?

And the Lord said to Moses, How long will this people have no respect for me? how long will they be without faith, in the face of all the signs I have done among them?

12 Abiro negogi gi masira mi atiekgi chuth, to un to abiro miyou ubed oganda maduongʼ kendo motegno moloyogi.”

I will send disease on them for their destruction, and take away their heritage, and I will make of you a nation greater and stronger than they.

13 Musa noywak ne Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Jo-Misri ongʼeyo wachni malongʼo ni in ema nigolo jo-Israel oa kuomgi gi tekoni iwuon.

And Moses said to the Lord, Then it will come to the ears of the Egyptians; for by your power you took this people out from among them;

14 Kendo gibiro nyiso jopinyni wachni. To bende gisewinjo ni in, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, oseneni kitelonegi godiechiengʼ gi boche mag polo, to gotieno itelonegi gi pilni mar mach.

And they will give the news to the people of this land: they have had word that you, Lord, are present with this people, letting yourself be seen face to face, and that your cloud is resting over them, and that you go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and in a pillar of fire by night.

15 Ka inego jogi duto dichiel, to oganda mabiro winjo wach machalo kama kuomi biro wacho niya,

Now if you put to death all this people as one man, then the nations who have had word of your glory will say,

16 ‘Jehova Nyasaye ne ok nyal chopo gi jogi e piny mane osingorenegi kokwongʼore, momiyo ne onegogi e thim.’

Because the Lord was not able to take this people into the land which he made an oath to give them, he sent destruction on them in the waste land.

17 “Mad koro teko Jehova Nyasaye oyangre malongʼo, mana kaka isewacho:

So now, may my prayer come before you, and let the power of the Lord be great, as you said:

18 ‘Jehova Nyasaye ok kech piyo, to en gihera mogundho kendo oweyo ne ji richogi kendo ongʼwono ne joma ongʼanyo. To kata kamano, joma oketho ok nyal we ma ok okum; okumo nyithindo kuom richo mag wuonegi nyaka tiengʼ mar adek kata nyaka tiengʼ mar angʼwen.’

The Lord is slow to wrath and great in mercy, overlooking wrongdoing and evil, and will not let wrongdoers go free; sending punishment on children for the sins of their fathers, to the third and fourth generation.

19 Kaluwore gihera mari maduongʼ, yie iwene jogi richo mag-gi, mana kaka isebedo ka ingʼwononegi chakre gia Misri nyaka sani.”

May the sin of this people have forgiveness, in the measure of your great mercy, as you have had mercy on them from Egypt up till now.

20 Jehova Nyasaye nodwoko niya, “Aseweyonegi richogi mana kaka ne ikwayo.

And the Lord said, I have had mercy, as you say:

21 Kata kamano, akwongʼora gi nyinga awuon kod duongʼ mara mopongʼo piny,

But truly, as I am living, and as all the earth will be full of the glory of the Lord;

22 ni onge kata mana ngʼato achiel kuomgi mane oneno duongʼ mara kod ranyisi mag honni mane atimo Misri kendo e thim, to ne ok owinja kendo otema nyadipar; ma nochopi e piny mane asingonegi.

Because all these men, having seen my glory and the signs which I have done in Egypt and in the waste land, still have put me to the test ten times, and have not given ear to my voice;

23 Bende onge kata mana ngʼato achiel kuomgi mabiro neno piny mane asingone kweregi ka akwongʼora. Ngʼato angʼata ma osenyisa achaya ok none pinyno.

They will not see the land about which I made an oath to their fathers; not one of these by whom I have not been honoured will see it.

24 To nikech jatichna Kaleb nigi chuny mopogore kod mag-gi kendo ma luwa gi chunye duto, abiro tere e piny mane odhiyoeno, kendo nyikwaye nokaw pinyno kaka girkeni margi.

But my servant Caleb, because he had a different spirit in him, and has been true to me with all his heart, him I will take into that land into which he went, and his seed will have it for their heritage.

25 To nikech jo-Amalek kod jo-Kanaan odak e kuonde mag holo, dwoguru kiny kendo udhi e thim mantiere e yo mochiko Nam Makwar.”

Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites are in the valley; tomorrow, turning round, go into the waste land by the way to the Red Sea.

26 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa kod Harun niya,

Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,

27 “Nyaka karangʼo ma oganda ma timbegi richogi biro ngʼur koda? Asewinjo ngʼur mar jo-Israel ma jo-mibadhigi.

How long am I to put up with this evil people and their outcries against me? The words which they say against me have come to my ears.

28 Omiyo nyisgiuru ni Jehova Nyasaye owacho ni, ‘Akwongʼora gi nyinga awuon, ni abiro timonu mana gigo mane awinjo kuwacho:

Say to them, By my life, says the Lord, as certainly as your words have come to my ears, so certainly will I do this to you:

29 Ringreu nolwar mana e thimni; ngʼato angʼata kuomu ma hike piero ariyo ka dhi nyime mane okwan e ndalo kweno kendo mosengʼur koda.

Your dead bodies will be stretched out in this waste land; and of all your number, all those of twenty years old and over who have been crying out against me,

30 Onge ngʼato angʼata kuomu manodonji e piny mane asingone katingʼo bada malo mondo obed dalau, makmana Kaleb wuod Jefune kod Joshua wuod Nun.

Not one will come into the land which I gave my word you would have for your resting-place, but only Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua, the son of Nun.

31 To kuom nyithindu mane uwacho ni ibiro kaw kaka gik moyaki, gin to abiro kelogi mondo giyud mor mar piny mane udagi.

And your little ones, whom you said would come into strange hands, I will take in, and they will see the land which you would not have.

32 To un, ringreu nodongʼ e thim.

But as for you, your dead bodies will be stretched in this waste land.

33 Nyithindu nobed jokwath e pinyni kuom higni piero angʼwen, ka giyudo thagruok nikech bedou maonge gi ratiro, nyaka ane ni ringre ngʼama ogik odongʼ e thim.

And your children will be wanderers in the waste land for forty years, undergoing punishment for your false ways, till your bodies become dust in the waste land.

34 Ne ubet ka unono pinyno kuom ndalo piero angʼwen, omiyo unuchul richou kuom higni piero angʼwen, ka higa achiel ikwano kar ndalo achiel, mi unufweny malongʼo gima omiyo akwedou.’

And as you went through the land viewing it for forty days, so for forty years, a year for every day, you will undergo punishment for your wrongdoing, and you will see that I am against you.

35 An, Jehova Nyasaye, asewacho, kendo abiro timo gigi adieri ne oganda ma timbegi richogi, moseriwore mar kweda. Giko mar ngimagi notimre e thim; kendo kae ema gibiro thoe.”

I the Lord have said it, and this I will certainly do to all this evil people who have come together against me: in this waste land destruction will come on them, and death will be their fate.

36 Omiyo joma Musa ne oseoro mondo odhi onon pinyno, mi odwogo kendo omiyo oganda duto ma timbegi richogi ongʼur kode kaluwore gi wach marach mane gikelo kuom pinyno;

And the men whom Moses sent to see the land, and who, by the bad account they gave of the land, were the cause of the outcry the people made against Moses,

37 jogi mane okelo wach marachni kuom pinyno noneg-gi gi masira e nyim Jehova Nyasaye.

Those same men who said evil of the land, came to their death by disease before the Lord.

38 Kuom joma nodhi nono pinyno, Joshua wuod Nun kod Kaleb wuod Jefune kende ema notony.

But Joshua, the son of Nun, and Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, of those who went to see the land, were not touched by disease.

39 Ka Musa nowacho ne jo-Israel duto wachni kendo ne giywak gi lit ahinya.

And when Moses put these words before the children of Israel, the people were full of grief.

40 Kiny gokinyi mangʼich ne giwuok mi gidhi e piny manie got. Negiwacho niya, “Wasetimo richo. Wabiro dhi nyaka kama Jehova Nyasaye nosingo.”

And early in the morning they got up and went to the top of the mountain, saying, We are here and we will go up to the place which the Lord said he would give us: for we have done wrong.

41 To Musa nowachonegi niya, “Angʼo momiyo utamoru winjo chik Jehova Nyasaye? Mano ok bi timore!

And Moses said, Why are you now acting against the Lord's order, seeing that no good will come of it?

42 Kik udhi kuno, nikech Jehova Nyasaye oseweyou. Wasiku biro lou,

Go not up, for the Lord is not with you, and you will be overcome by those who are fighting against you.

43 nimar jo-Amalek kod jo-Kanaan noked kodu kuno. Nikech useweyo Jehova Nyasaye, ok enodhi kodu kendo nonegu gi ligangla.”

For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and you will be put to death by their swords: because you have gone back from the way of the Lord, the Lord will not be with you.

44 To kata kamano, ne ok gidewo wachno, mi gichako dhi malo e piny got, to Musa kata Sandug Muma mar Jehova Nyasaye ne ok owuok e kambi.

But they gave no attention to his words and went to the top of the mountain, though Moses and the ark of the Lord's agreement did not go out of the tent-circle.

45 Eka jo-Amalek kod jo-Kanaan mane odak e piny got nolor mwalo mi omonjogi kendo neginegogi duto ma gichopo nyaka Horma.

Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites who were living in the hill-country, and overcame them completely, driving them back as far as Hormah.
