< Numbers 14 >
1 Then all the people gave load cries of grief, and all that night they gave themselves up to weeping.
Gbogbo ìjọ ènìyàn sì gbóhùn sókè, wọ́n sì sọkún ní òru ọjọ́ náà.
2 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!
Gbogbo ọmọ Israẹli sì kùn sí Mose àti Aaroni, gbogbo ìjọ ènìyàn Israẹli sì wí fún wọn pé, “Àwa ìbá kúkú ti kú ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti. Tàbí kí a kúkú kú sínú aginjù yìí.
3 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?
Kí ló dé tí Olúwa fi mú wa wá sí ilẹ̀ yìí láti fi idà pa wá? Àwọn ìyàwó wa, àwọn ọmọ wa yóò sì di ìjẹ. Ǹjẹ́ kò wa, ní í dára fún wa bí a bá padà sí Ejibiti?”
4 And they said to one another, Let us make a captain over us, and go back to Egypt.
Wọ́n sì sọ fún ara wọn pé, “Ẹ jẹ́ kí á yan olórí kí á sì padà sí Ejibiti.”
5 Then Moses and Aaron went down on their faces before the meeting of the people.
Nígbà náà ni Mose àti Aaroni dojúbolẹ̀ níwájú gbogbo ìjọ ọmọ Israẹli.
6 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,
Joṣua ọmọ Nuni àti Kalebu ọmọ Jefunne, tí wọ́n wà lára àwọn to lọ yẹ ilẹ̀ wò sì fa aṣọ wọn ya.
7 Said to all the children of Israel, This land which we went through to see is a very good land.
Wọ́n sì sọ fún gbogbo ìjọ ènìyàn Israẹli pé, “Ilẹ̀ tí a là kọjá láti yẹ̀ wò náà jẹ́ ilẹ̀ tí ó dára lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀.
8 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.
Bí inú Olúwa bá dùn sí wa, yóò mú wa dé ilẹ̀ náà, ilẹ̀ tó ń sàn fún wàrà àti fún oyin, yóò fún wa ní ilẹ̀ náà.
9 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.
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ má ṣe ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí Olúwa. Kí ẹ sì má bẹ̀rù àwọn ènìyàn ìlú náà, nítorí pé a ó gbé wọn mì, ààbò wọn ti fi wọ́n sílẹ̀, Olúwa sì wà pẹ̀lú àwa, ẹ má ṣe bẹ̀rù wọn.”
10 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.
Ṣùgbọ́n gbogbo ìjọ ènìyàn sì ń sọ pé àwọn yóò sọ wọ́n lókùúta pa. Nígbà náà ni ògo Olúwa fi ara hàn ní àgọ́ ìpàdé níwájú àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.
11 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?
Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé, “Fún ìgbà wo ni àwọn ènìyàn yìí yóò ti kẹ́gàn mi tó? Báwo ni yóò ti pẹ́ tó tí wọ́n ó fi kọ̀ jálẹ̀ láti gbà mí gbọ́, pẹ̀lú gbogbo iṣẹ́ àmì tí mo ṣe láàrín wọn?
12 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.
Èmi ó kọlù wọ́n pẹ̀lú àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn, èmi ó gba ogún wọn lọ́wọ́ wọn, èmi ó sì pa wọ́n run ṣùgbọ́n èmi ó sọ ọ́ di orílẹ̀-èdè ńlá tó sì lágbára jù wọ́n lọ.”
13 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;
Ṣùgbọ́n Mose sọ fún Olúwa pé, “Nígbà náà ni àwọn ará Ejibiti yóò gbọ́! Nítorí pé nípa agbára rẹ ni ìwọ fi mú àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí jáde kúrò láàrín wọn.
14 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.
Wọ́n ó sì sọ fún àwọn olùgbé ilẹ̀ yìí. Àwọn tó ti mọ̀ tẹ́lẹ̀ pé ìwọ Olúwa wà láàrín àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí àti pé wọ́n rí ìwọ, Olúwa, ní ojúkojú, àti pé ìkùùkuu àwọsánmọ̀ rẹ dúró lórí wọn, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìwọ sì ń lọ níwájú wọn pẹ̀lú ìkùùkuu àwọsánmọ̀ ní ọ̀sán àti pẹ̀lú ọ̀wọ́n iná ní òru.
15 Now if you put to death all this people as one man, then the nations who have had word of your glory will say,
Bí ìwọ bá pa àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí lẹ́ẹ̀kan ṣoṣo, àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tó bá gbọ́ ìròyìn yìí nípa rẹ yóò wí pé,
16 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.
‘Nítorí pé Olúwa kò le è mú àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí dé ilẹ̀ tí ó ṣèlérí fún wọn; torí èyí ló ṣe pa wọ́n sínú aginjù yìí.’
17 So now, may my prayer come before you, and let the power of the Lord be great, as you said:
“Báyìí, mo gbàdúrà, jẹ́ kí agbára Olúwa tóbi gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìwọ ti sọ pé,
18 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.
‘Olúwa lọ́ra láti bínú, ó sì pọ̀ ní ìfẹ́ tó dúró ṣinṣin, tí ń dárí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àti ìrékọjá jì. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kì í jẹ́ kí ẹlẹ́bi lọ láìjìyà; tó ń fi ìyà ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ baba jẹ ọmọ títí dé ìran kẹta àti ìran kẹrin.’
19 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.
Dárí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àwọn ènìyàn yìí jì wọ́n, mo bẹ̀ ọ́, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìfẹ́ ńlá rẹ, bí o ti ṣe ń dárí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn jì wọ́n láti ìgbà tí o ti kó wọn kúrò ní Ejibiti di ìsin yìí.”
20 And the Lord said, I have had mercy, as you say:
Olúwa sì dáhùn pé, “Mo ti dáríjì wọ́n gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ.
21 But truly, as I am living, and as all the earth will be full of the glory of the Lord;
Ṣùgbọ́n nítòótọ́ bí mo ti wà láààyè, gbogbo ayé yóò kún fún ògo Olúwa.
22 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;
Kò sí ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ènìyàn tó rí ògo mi àti àwọn iṣẹ́ àmì tí mo ṣe ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti àti nínú aginjù ṣùgbọ́n tí wọ́n ṣe àìgbọ́ràn sí mi, tí wọn sì dán mi wò ní ìgbà mẹ́wàá yìí,
23 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.
ọ̀kan nínú wọn kò ní rí ilẹ̀ náà tí mo ṣe ìlérí ní ìbúra láti fún baba ńlá wọn. Kò sí ọ̀kan nínú àwọn tó kẹ́gàn mi tí yóò rí ilẹ̀ náà.
24 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.
Ṣùgbọ́n nítorí pé Kalebu ìránṣẹ́ mi ní ẹ̀mí ọ̀tọ̀, tí ó sì tún tẹ̀lé mi tọkàntọkàn, èmi ó mu dé ilẹ̀ náà tó lọ yẹ̀ wò, irú àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ yóò sì jogún rẹ̀.
25 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.
Níwọ́n ìgbà tí àwọn ará Amaleki àti àwọn ará Kenaani ń gbé ní àfonífojì, ẹ yípadà lọ́la kí ẹ sì dojúkọ aginjù lọ́nà Òkun Pupa.”
26 Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
Olúwa sọ fún Mose àti Aaroni pé,
27 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.
“Báwo ni yóò ti pẹ́ tó tí àwọn ìjọ ènìyàn búburú yìí yóò fi máa kùn sí mi? Mo ti gbọ́ kíkùn tí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ń kùn sí mi.
28 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:
Sọ fún wọn, bí mo ti wà láààyè nítòótọ́ ni Olúwa wí, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ohun tí ẹ wí létí mi ni èmi ó ṣe fún un yín.
29 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,
Nínú aginjù yìí ni ẹ ó kú sí, gbogbo ẹ̀yin tí ẹ kùn láti ọmọ ogún ọdún ó lé àní gbogbo ẹ̀yin tí a kà.
30 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.
Ọ̀kan nínú yín kò ní í dé ilẹ̀ tí mo búra nípa ìgbọ́wọ́sókè láti fi ṣe ibùgbé yín, bí kò ṣe Kalebu ọmọ Jefunne àti Joṣua ọmọ Nuni.
31 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.
Ṣùgbọ́n ní ti àwọn ọmọ yín tí ẹ wí pé wọn ó di ìjẹ, àwọn ni n ó mú dé bẹ̀ láti gbádùn ilẹ̀ tí ẹ kọ̀sílẹ̀.
32 But as for you, your dead bodies will be stretched in this waste land.
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin, òkú yín yóò ṣubú ní aginjù yìí.
33 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.
Àwọn ọmọ wẹ́wẹ́ yín yóò sì máa rin kiri nínú aginjù fun ogójì ọdún wọn ó máa jìyà nítorí àìnígbàgbọ́ yín, títí tí ọkàn gbogbo yín yóò fi ṣòfò tán ní aginjù.
34 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.
Fún ogójì ọdún èyí jẹ́ ọdún kan fún ọjọ́ kọ̀ọ̀kan nínú ogójì ọjọ́ tí ẹ fi yẹ ilẹ̀ náà wò ẹ̀yin ó sì jìyà fún ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yín, ẹ ó sì mọ bí ó ti rí láti lòdì sí mi.
35 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.
Èmi, Olúwa, lo sọ bẹ́ẹ̀; Èmi ó sì ṣe àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí sí ìjọ ènìyàn búburú yìí tí wọ́n kó ra wọn jọ lòdì sí mi. Nínú aginjù yìí ni òpin yóò dé bá wọn, ibẹ̀ ni wọn yóò kú sí.”
36 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,
Àwọn ọkùnrin tí Mose rán láti yẹ ilẹ̀ wò, tí wọ́n sì mú gbogbo ìjọ kùn sí i nípa ìròyìn búburú tí wọ́n mú wá nípa ilẹ̀ náà;
37 Those same men who said evil of the land, came to their death by disease before the Lord.
Olúwa sì kọlu àwọn ọkùnrin tó mú ìròyìn búburú wá nípa ilẹ̀ náà, àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn sì pa wọ́n níwájú Olúwa.
38 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.
Nínú gbogbo àwọn tó lọ yẹ ilẹ̀ náà wò, Joṣua ọmọ Nuni àti Kalebu ọmọ Jefunne ló yè é.
39 And when Moses put these words before the children of Israel, the people were full of grief.
Nígbà tí Mose sọ gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ yìí fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, wọ́n sì sọkún gidigidi.
40 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.
Wọ́n dìde ní àárọ̀ ọjọ́ kejì wọ́n sì gòkè lọ sí ìlú orí òkè, wọ́n wí pé, “Àwa ti ṣẹ̀, àwa yóò lọ sí ibi tí Olúwa ṣèlérí fún wa.”
41 And Moses said, Why are you now acting against the Lord's order, seeing that no good will come of it?
Mose sì dá wọn lóhùn pé, “Kí ló dé tí ẹ fi ṣẹ̀ sí òfin Olúwa? Èyí kò le yọrí sí rere!
42 Go not up, for the Lord is not with you, and you will be overcome by those who are fighting against you.
Ẹ má ṣe gòkè lọ nítorí pé Olúwa kò sí láàrín yín. Ki á má ba à lù yín bolẹ̀ níwájú àwọn ọ̀tá yín.
43 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.
Nítorí pé àwọn ará Amaleki àti àwọn ará Kenaani ń bẹ níwájú yín, ẹ̀yin yóò sì ti ipa idà ṣubú. Nítorí pé, ẹ ti yà kúrò ní ọ̀nà Olúwa, Olúwa kò sì ní í wà pẹ̀lú yín.”
44 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.
Síbẹ̀síbẹ̀, pẹ̀lú àìfarabalẹ̀ wọn, wọ́n gòkè lọ sórí òkè náà, láìjẹ́ pé àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa tàbí Mose kúrò nínú ibùdó.
45 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.
Àwọn ará Amaleki àti àwọn ará Kenaani tó ń gbé lórí òkè sọ̀kalẹ̀ tọ̀ wọ́n, wọ́n bá wọn jà, wọ́n sì lé wọn títí dé Horma.
