1 Otienono oganda duto mag gwengʼ notingʼo dwondgi malo mi giywak matek.
All the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that 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 children of Israel [God prevails] murmured against Moses [Drawn out] and against Aaron [Light-bringer]. The whole congregation said to them, “We wish that we had died in the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], or that we had died in this wilderness!
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 does Adonai bring us to this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will be captured or killed! Wouldn’t it be better for us to teshuvah ·completely return· into Egypt [Abode of slavery]?”
4 Kendo negiwacho e kindgi giwegi niya, “Onego wayier jatelo mondo wadog Misri.”
They said to one another, “Let us make a captain, and let us teshuvah ·completely return· into Egypt [Abode of slavery].”
5 Eka Musa kod Harun nopodho auma e nyim chokruok mar oganda Israel duto mane ochokore kanyo.
Then Moses [Drawn out] and Aaron [Light-bringer] fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel [God prevails].
6 Joshua wuod Nun kod Kaleb wuod Jefune, ma gin achiel kuom joma ne odhi nono piny Kanaan, noyiecho lepgi
Joshua [Salvation Yah] the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were of those who spied out the land, tore their clothes.
7 mi owacho ne chokruok mar oganda jo-Israel duto niya, “Piny mane wakalo e iye kendo wanono ber miwuoro.
They spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel [God prevails], saying, “The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceeding 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 Adonai delights in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it to us; a land which flows 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 don’t rebel against Adonai, neither fear the people of the land; for they are bread for us. Their defense is removed from over them, and Adonai is with us. Don’t fear 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 congregation threatened to stone them with stones. The kavod Yahweh ·weighty glory of He sustains breathing· appeared in the Tent of Meeting to all the children of Israel [God prevails].
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?
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “How long will this people despise me? and how long will they not believe in me, for all the signs which I have worked among them?
12 Abiro negogi gi masira mi atiekgi chuth, to un to abiro miyou ubed oganda maduongʼ kendo motegno moloyogi.”
I will strike them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of you a nation greater and mightier 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.
Moses [Drawn out] said to Adonai, “Then the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] will sh'ma ·hear obey· it; for you brought up this people in your might 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 it to the inhabitants of this land. They have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· that you Adonai are in the middle of this people; for you Adonai are seen face to face, and your cloud stands over them, and 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 killed this people as one man, then the nations which have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· the fame of you will speak, saying,
16 ‘Jehova Nyasaye ne ok nyal chopo gi jogi e piny mane osingorenegi kokwongʼore, momiyo ne onegogi e thim.’
‘Because Adonai was not able to bring this people into the land which he swore to them, therefore he has slain them in the wilderness.’
17 “Mad koro teko Jehova Nyasaye oyangre malongʼo, mana kaka isewacho:
Now please let the power of the Lord be great, according as you have spoken, saying,
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.’
‘Adonai is slow to anger, and abundant in cheshed ·loving-kindness·, forgiving iniquity and disobedience; and that will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation.’
19 Kaluwore gihera mari maduongʼ, yie iwene jogi richo mag-gi, mana kaka isebedo ka ingʼwononegi chakre gia Misri nyaka sani.”
Please pardon the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of your cheshed ·loving-kindness·, and according as you have forgiven this people, from Egypt [Abode of slavery] even until now.”
20 Jehova Nyasaye nodwoko niya, “Aseweyonegi richogi mana kaka ne ikwayo.
Adonai said, “I have pardoned according to your word:
21 Kata kamano, akwongʼora gi nyinga awuon kod duongʼ mara mopongʼo piny,
but in very deed, as I live, and as all the earth shall be filled with the kavod Yahweh ·weighty glory of He sustains breathing·;
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 those men who have seen my glory, and my signs, which I worked in Egypt [Abode of slavery] and in the wilderness, yet have tempted me these ten times, and have not sh'ma ·heard obeyed· 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.
surely they shall not see the land which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any of those who despised me 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 another spirit with him, and has followed me fully, him I will bring into the land into which he went. His offspring shall possess 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 Amalekite [Descendant of Man who licks up] and the Canaanite [Descendant of Humbled] dwell in the valley, tomorrow turn, and go into the wilderness by the way to the Sea of Suf [Reed Sea].”
26 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa kod Harun niya,
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out] and to Aaron [Light-bringer], saying,
27 “Nyaka karangʼo ma oganda ma timbegi richogi biro ngʼur koda? Asewinjo ngʼur mar jo-Israel ma jo-mibadhigi.
“How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, that murmur against me? I have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· the murmurings of the children of Israel [God prevails], which they murmur against me.
28 Omiyo nyisgiuru ni Jehova Nyasaye owacho ni, ‘Akwongʼora gi nyinga awuon, ni abiro timonu mana gigo mane awinjo kuwacho:
Tell them, ‘As I live, says Adonai, surely as you have spoken in my ears, so will I do 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 shall fall in this wilderness; and all who were counted of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, who have murmured 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.
surely you shall not come into the land, concerning which I swore that I would make you dwell therein, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua [Salvation Yah] 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.
But your little ones, that you said should be captured or killed, them I will bring in, and they shall know the land which you have rejected.
32 To un, ringreu nodongʼ e thim.
But as for you, your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness.
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 shall be wanderers in the wilderness forty years, and shall bear your prostitution, until your dead bodies are consumed in the wilderness.
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.’
After the number of the days in which you spied out the land, even forty days, for every day a year, you will bear your iniquities, even forty years, and you will know my alienation.’
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, Adonai, have spoken. I will surely do this to all this evil congregation, who are gathered together against me. In this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.”
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, whom Moses [Drawn out] sent to spy out the land, who teshuvah ·completely returned·, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up an evil report against the land,
37 jogi mane okelo wach marachni kuom pinyno noneg-gi gi masira e nyim Jehova Nyasaye.
even those men who brought up an evil report of the land, died by the plague before Adonai.
38 Kuom joma nodhi nono pinyno, Joshua wuod Nun kod Kaleb wuod Jefune kende ema notony.
But Joshua [Salvation Yah] the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, remained alive of those men who went to spy out the land.
39 Ka Musa nowacho ne jo-Israel duto wachni kendo ne giywak gi lit ahinya.
Moses [Drawn out] told these words to all the children of Israel [God prevails], and the people mourned greatly.
40 Kiny gokinyi mangʼich ne giwuok mi gidhi e piny manie got. Negiwacho niya, “Wasetimo richo. Wabiro dhi nyaka kama Jehova Nyasaye nosingo.”
They rose up early in the morning, and went up to the top of the mountain, saying, “Behold, we are here, and will go up to the place which Adonai has promised: for we have sinned.”
41 To Musa nowachonegi niya, “Angʼo momiyo utamoru winjo chik Jehova Nyasaye? Mano ok bi timore!
Moses [Drawn out] said, “Why are you disobeying the order of Adonai? You shall not succeed!
42 Kik udhi kuno, nikech Jehova Nyasaye oseweyou. Wasiku biro lou,
Don’t go up, for Adonai is not among you; that you not be struck down before your enemies.
43 nimar jo-Amalek kod jo-Kanaan noked kodu kuno. Nikech useweyo Jehova Nyasaye, ok enodhi kodu kendo nonegu gi ligangla.”
For there the Amalekite [Descendant of Man who licks up] and the Canaanite [Descendant of Humbled] are before you, and you shall fall by the sword, because you turned back from following Adonai, therefore Adonai 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 presumed to go up to the top of the mountain. Nevertheless, the ark of Adonai’s covenant and Moses [Drawn out] didn’t depart out of 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.
Then the Amalekites [Descendants of Man who licks up] came down, and the Canaanites [Descendants of Humbled] who lived in that mountain, and struck them and beat them down, even to Hormah.
