Kwan 14
1 Otienono oganda duto mag gwengʼ notingʼo dwondgi malo mi giywak matek.
Then everybody there cried out loud all night.
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!
All the Israelites went and complained to Moses and Aaron, telling them, “If only we'd died in Egypt, or here in this desert!
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 to this country only to get us killed? Our wives and children will be captured and taken away as slaves! Wouldn't we be better off going back to Egypt?”
4 Kendo negiwacho e kindgi giwegi niya, “Onego wayier jatelo mondo wadog Misri.”
They said to one another, “Let's choose a new leader us and go back to Egypt.”
5 Eka Musa kod Harun nopodho auma e nyim chokruok mar oganda Israel duto mane ochokore kanyo.
Moses and Aaron fellfacedown on the ground in front of all the assembled Israelites.
6 Joshua wuod Nun kod Kaleb wuod Jefune, ma gin achiel kuom joma ne odhi nono piny Kanaan, noyiecho lepgi
Joshua, son of Nun, and Caleb, son of Jephunneh, were there. They had been part of the group who had gone to spy out the land. They ripped their clothes,
7 mi owacho ne chokruok mar oganda jo-Israel duto niya, “Piny mane wakalo e iye kendo wanono ber miwuoro.
and told the Israelites, “The country we traveled through and explored has 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.
If the Lord is happy with us, he will take us there and give it to us, a land that's so productive it's like 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.”
Don't rebel and fight against the Lord. You don't need to be afraid of the people living there in the country—we can take them easily! They're defenseless and the Lord is with us. Don't be frightened 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.
In reply all the people shouted out, “Stone them!” But the glory of the Lord suddenly appeared in the Tent of Meeting, right in the middle of the Israelites.
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?
The Lord told Moses, “How long are these people going to reject me? How long are these people going to refuse to trust in me despite all the miracles I have done right in front of them?
12 Abiro negogi gi masira mi atiekgi chuth, to un to abiro miyou ubed oganda maduongʼ kendo motegno moloyogi.”
I'm going to make them sick with a disease and kill them. Then I will make you into a nation that's greater and strong than them.”
13 Musa noywak ne Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Jo-Misri ongʼeyo wachni malongʼo ni in ema nigolo jo-Israel oa kuomgi gi tekoni iwuon.
But Moses told the Lord, “The Egyptians will find out about it! It was by your power that you led the Israelites 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.
They will tell the people living in this country all about it. They've already heard that you, Lord, are with us Israelites, that you, Lord, are seen face to face, that your cloud stands guard over them, and that you lead them by a pillar of cloud during day and a pillar of fire at night.
15 Ka inego jogi duto dichiel, to oganda mabiro winjo wach machalo kama kuomi biro wacho niya,
If you kill all these people in one go, the nations who have heard about you will say,
16 ‘Jehova Nyasaye ne ok nyal chopo gi jogi e piny mane osingorenegi kokwongʼore, momiyo ne onegogi e thim.’
‘The Lord killed these people in the desert because he wasn't able to take them to the country he promised to give them. He's killed them all in desert!’
17 “Mad koro teko Jehova Nyasaye oyangre malongʼo, mana kaka isewacho:
Now, Lord, please demonstrate the extent of your power just as you have 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 become angry and is full of trustworthy love, forgiving sin and rebellion. However, he will not allow the guilty to go unpunished, bringing the consequences of the parents' sin on their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
19 Kaluwore gihera mari maduongʼ, yie iwene jogi richo mag-gi, mana kaka isebedo ka ingʼwononegi chakre gia Misri nyaka sani.”
Please forgive the sin of these people since your trustworthy love is so great, in the same way that you have forgiven them from the time they left Egypt until now.”
20 Jehova Nyasaye nodwoko niya, “Aseweyonegi richogi mana kaka ne ikwayo.
“I have forgiven them as you asked,” the Lord replied.
21 Kata kamano, akwongʼora gi nyinga awuon kod duongʼ mara mopongʼo piny,
“But even so, as I live and as the whole earth is filled with the Lord's glory,
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.
not a single one of the those who saw my glory and the miracles I did in Egypt and in the desert—but provoked me and refused to obey me time and time again—
23 Bende onge kata mana ngʼato achiel kuomgi mabiro neno piny mane asingone kweregi ka akwongʼora. Ngʼato angʼata ma osenyisa achaya ok none pinyno.
not a single one of them is ever going to see the country I promised to give their forefathers. None of those who rejected me 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 because my servant Caleb has a totally different spirit and is fully committed to me, I will lead him to the country he visited, and his descendants will own it.
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.”
Since the Amalekites and Canaanites are living in the valleys, tomorrow you are to turn around and head back into the desert, taking the route towards the Red Sea.”
26 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa kod Harun niya,
The Lord told Moses and Aaron,
27 “Nyaka karangʼo ma oganda ma timbegi richogi biro ngʼur koda? Asewinjo ngʼur mar jo-Israel ma jo-mibadhigi.
“How much longer are these wicked people going to criticize me? I've heard what they're saying, making complaints against me.
28 Omiyo nyisgiuru ni Jehova Nyasaye owacho ni, ‘Akwongʼora gi nyinga awuon, ni abiro timonu mana gigo mane awinjo kuwacho:
Go and tell them, ‘As I live, declares the Lord, I'll do just what I heard you say you wanted, believe me!
29 Ringreu nolwar mana e thimni; ngʼato angʼata kuomu ma hike piero ariyo ka dhi nyime mane okwan e ndalo kweno kendo mosengʼur koda.
All of you will die in this desert, everyone who was registered in the census that counted those aged twenty or over, because you made complaints 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.
Absolutely none of you will enter the country I promised to give you to live in, except for Caleb, son of Jephunneh, and Joshua, 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.
However, I will take your children—those you said would be taken away as plunder—into the country you rejected, and they will appreciate it.
32 To un, ringreu nodongʼ e thim.
But you—you are all going to die in this desert.
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.
Your children will wander in the desert for forty years, suffering because of your lack of trust until all your bodies lie buried in the desert.
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.’
Just as you explored the country for forty days, so shall your punishment for your sins be forty years, a year for every day, and you will see what happens when I oppose 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 spoken! Just see if I won't do this to all these wicked Israelites who have got together to oppose me! They will end their lives in the desert—they will die there.’”
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;
The men that Moses had sent to explore the country—those who came back and because they gave a bad report they made all the Israelites complain against the Lord—
37 jogi mane okelo wach marachni kuom pinyno noneg-gi gi masira e nyim Jehova Nyasaye.
those men who gave the bad report died before the Lord from plague.
38 Kuom joma nodhi nono pinyno, Joshua wuod Nun kod Kaleb wuod Jefune kende ema notony.
The only ones who lived were Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh of those who went to explore the country.
39 Ka Musa nowacho ne jo-Israel duto wachni kendo ne giywak gi lit ahinya.
When Moses told the Israelites what the Lord had said they were very, very sad.
40 Kiny gokinyi mangʼich ne giwuok mi gidhi e piny manie got. Negiwacho niya, “Wasetimo richo. Wabiro dhi nyaka kama Jehova Nyasaye nosingo.”
They got up early the next morning planning to go into the hill country. “Yes we really did sin,” they said, “but now we're here and we'll go where the Lord told us.”
41 To Musa nowachonegi niya, “Angʼo momiyo utamoru winjo chik Jehova Nyasaye? Mano ok bi timore!
But Moses objected. “Why are you disobeying the Lord's command? You won't succeed in your plan!
42 Kik udhi kuno, nikech Jehova Nyasaye oseweyou. Wasiku biro lou,
Don't try and go, otherwise you will be killed by your enemies, because the Lord isn't with you.
43 nimar jo-Amalek kod jo-Kanaan noked kodu kuno. Nikech useweyo Jehova Nyasaye, ok enodhi kodu kendo nonegu gi ligangla.”
The Amalekites and Canaanites living there will attack you, and you will die by the sword. Because you rejected the Lord, he won't help 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 were arrogant and went up into the hill country, even though Moses and the Ark of the Lord's Agreement didn't move from the camp.
45 Eka jo-Amalek kod jo-Kanaan mane odak e piny got nolor mwalo mi omonjogi kendo neginegogi duto ma gichopo nyaka Horma.
The Amalekites and Canaanites who lived there in the hill country came down and attacked the Israelites and defeated them, and chased them all the way to Hormah.
