Numbers 14
1 And all the congregation lifted up their voice and cried; and the people wept all that night.
Ekiro ekyo abantu bonna mu kibiina ne bayimusa amaloboozi gaabwe ne bakaaba n’eddoboozi ery’omwanguka.
2 And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron; and all the congregation said to them,
Abaana ba Isirayiri bonna ne beemulugunyiza Musa ne Alooni; abantu bonna awamu mu kibiina ne babagamba nti, “Singa twafiira mu nsi y’e Misiri! Oba singa twafiira mu ddungu muno!
3 Would we had died in the land of Egypt! or in this wilderness, would we had died! and why does the Lord bring us into this land to fall in war? our wives and our children shall be for a prey: now then it is better to return into Egypt.
Lwaki Mukama atutwala mu nsi eyo, tutuuke eyo tulyoke tuttibwe n’ekitala? Abakazi baffe n’abaana baffe bagenda kunyagibwa. Okuddayo mu Misiri si kye kinaasingako?”
4 And they said one to another, Let us make a ruler, and return into Egypt.
Ne boogeraganya nti, “Ka twerondere omukulembeze tuddeyo mu Misiri.”
5 And Moses and Aaron fell upon their face before all the congregation of the children of Israel.
Awo Musa ne Alooni ne bavuunama wansi mu maaso g’ekibiina kyonna eky’abaana ba Isirayiri abaali bakuŋŋaanidde awo.
6 But Joshua the [son] of Naue, and Chaleb the [son] of Jephonne, of [the number of] them that spied out the land, rent their garments,
Yoswa mutabani wa Nuuni ne Kalebu mutabani wa Yefune, abaali mu abo abaagenda okuketta ensi, ne bayuzaayuza engoye zaabwe,
7 and spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, The land which we surveyed is indeed extremely good.
ne bagamba ekibiina kyonna eky’abaana ba Isirayiri nti, “Ensi gye twayitaayitamu okugiketta, nsi nnungi nnyo.
8 If the Lord choose us, he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which flows with milk and honey.
Mukama Katonda bw’aliba atusanyukidde, alitukulembera n’atutuusa mu nsi eyo, ensi ekulukuta amata n’omubisi gw’enjuki, era agenda kugituwa.
9 Only depart not from the Lord; and fear ye not the people of the land, for they are meat for us; for the season [of prosperity] is departed from them, but the Lord [is] among us: fear them not.
Kyokka temujeemera Mukama Katonda, era n’abantu b’omu nsi omwo temubatya, kubanga kuliba kumenya mu jjenje kkalu; tebakyalina abakuuma, ate nga Mukama Katonda ali wamu naffe. Temubatya.”
10 And all the congregation bade stone them with stones; and the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud on the tabernacle of witness to all the children of Israel.
Naye abantu bonna mu kibiina ne bateesa okubakuba mayinja. Awo ekitiibwa kya Mukama Katonda ne kirabikira eri abaana ba Isirayiri bonna mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu.
11 And the Lord said to Moses, How long does this people provoke me? and how long do they refuse to believe me for all the signs which I have wrought among them?
Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Abantu bano balinnyooma kutuusa ddi? Balikomya ddi obutanzikiririzaamu, newaakubadde nga nakola ebyamagero mu bubonero bwe nakolera mu bo?
12 I will smite them with death, and destroy them; and I will make of thee and of thy father's house a great nation, and much greater than this.
Nzija kubaboola mbazikirize ne kawumpuli, mbasaanyeewo; naye nzija kukuggyamu ggwe eggwanga eriribasinga abo obukulu n’amaanyi.”
13 And Moses said to the Lord, So Egypt shall hear, for thou hast brought up this people from them by thy might.
Naye Musa n’agamba Mukama Katonda nti, “Ebyo Abamisiri bagenda kubiwulira! Kubanga abantu bano wabaggya mu nsi y’Abamisiri n’obuyinza obw’amaanyi amangi.
14 Moreover all the dwellers upon this land have heard that thou art Lord in the midst of this people, who, O Lord, art seen [by them] face to face, and thy cloud rests upon them, and thou goest before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, and by night in a pillar of fire.
Bajja kubuulirako ku bantu ab’omu nsi muno. Baamala dda okukiwulira nga ggwe, Ayi Mukama, obeera wakati mu bantu bano, era nga, Ayi Mukama Katonda, mulabagana nabo amaaso n’amaaso, era ng’ekire kyo kibeera nabo buli kiseera, era ng’obakulemberera mu mpagi ey’ekire emisana ne mu mpagi ey’omuliro ekiro.
15 And [if] thou shalt destroy this nation as one man; then all the nations that have heard thy name shall speak, saying,
Singa abantu bano obatta bonna omulundi gumu, amawanga agawulidde obututumufu bwo gagenda kugamba nti,
16 Because the Lord could not bring this people into the land which he sware to them, he has overthrown them in the wilderness.
‘Kubanga Mukama Katonda yali tasobola kuyingiza bantu bano mu nsi gye yabasuubiza ng’agibalayirira; kyeyava abattira mu ddungu.’
17 And now, O Lord, let thy strength be exalted, as thou spakest, saying,
“Ne kaakano nkwegayirira oyoleke obuyinza bwo, Ayi Mukama nga bwe buli obusukkirivu nga bwe wasuubiza nti,
18 The Lord [is] long-suffering and merciful, and true, removing transgressions and iniquities and sins, and he will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the sins of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation.
‘Mukama Katonda alwawo okusunguwala, era ajjudde okwagala okutaggwaawo, era asonyiwa ekibi n’obujeemu. Naye era asingiddwa omusango tamuleka nga tabonerezebbwa; abonereza abaana olw’ebibi bya bakadde baabwe okutuuka ku mulembe ogwokusatu n’ogwokuna.’
19 Forgive this people their sin according to thy great mercy, as thou wast favourable to them from Egypt until now.
Ng’okwagala kwe okungi okutaggwaawo bwe kuli, nsaba osonyiwe abantu bano ekibi ky’abwe, nga bw’ozze obasonyiwa kasookedde bava mu Misiri n’okutuusa leero.”
20 And the Lord said to Moses, I am gracious to them according to thy word.
Awo Mukama Katonda n’addamu nti, “Mbasonyiye nga bw’onsabye.
21 But [as] I live and my name is living, so the glory of the Lord shall fill all the earth.
Naye nno mu mazima ddala nga bwe ndi omulamu, era ng’ekitiibwa kya Mukama Katonda bwe kijjuza ensi yonna,
22 For all the men who see my glory, and the signs which I wrought in Egypt, and in the wilderness, and have tempted me this tenth time, and have not hearkened to my voice,
tewalibaawo n’omu ku bantu abaalaba ekitiibwa kyange n’obubonero obw’ebyamagero bwe nakolera e Misiri ne mu ddungu, naye ne batagondera ddoboozi lyange wabula ne bangezesa nga bankema emirundi kkumi,
23 surely they shall not see the land, which I sware to their fathers; but their children which are with me here, as many as know not good or evil, every inexperienced youth, to them will I give the land; but none who have provoked me shall see it.
tewalibaawo n’omu ku bo aliraba ku nsi eyo gye nalayirira bajjajjaabwe ne mbasuubiza okugibawa. Tewalibaawo n’omu ku bo abannyoomye aligirabako.
24 But my servant Chaleb, because there was another spirit in him, and he followed me, I will bring him into the land into which he entered, and his seed shall inherit it.
Naye olwokubanga omuweereza wange Kalebu alina omwoyo ogw’enjawulo era ng’angoberera n’omutima gwe gwonna, ndimuleeta mu nsi gye yatumibwamu, n’ezzadde lye lirigirya.
25 But Amalec and the Chananite dwell in the valley: to-morrow turn and depart for the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea.
Kale nno olwokubanga Abamaleki n’Abakanani babeera mu biwonvu; enkya muddeeko emabega, musitule mutambule nga mwolekera eddungu nga mukutte ekkubo eriraga ku Nnyanja Emyufu.”
26 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa ne Alooni nti,
27 How long [shall I endure] this wicked congregation? I have heard their murmurings against me, [even] the murmuring of the children of Israel, which they have murmured concerning you.
“Ekibiina kino ekibi kirituusa ddi nga kinneemulugunyiza? Mpulidde okutolotooma kw’abaana ba Isirayiri nga banneemulugunyiza.
28 Say to them, [As] I live, saith the Lord: surely as ye spoke into my ears, so will I do to you.
Bategeeze nti, ‘Mukama agambye nti, Nga bwe ndi omulamu, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda, ebyo bye mpulidde nga mwogera, nange bye ndibakola.
29 Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all those of you that were reviewed, and those of you that were numbered from twenty years old and upward, all that murmured against me,
Mulifiira mu ddungu muno n’emirambo gyammwe mwe girisigala; mwenna abawezezza emyaka amakumi abiri n’okusingawo egy’obukulu nga bwe mwamala okubalibwa, abanneemulugunyiza.
30 ye shall not enter into the land for which I stretched out my hand to establish you upon it; except only Chaleb the son of Jephonne, and Joshua the [son] of Naue.
Tewaliba n’omu ku bo aliyingira mu nsi gye neelayirira nti ge galibeera amaka gammwe, okuggyako Kalebu mutabani wa Yefune ne Yoswa mutabani wa Nuuni.
31 And your little ones, who ye said should be a prey, them will I bring into the land; and they shall inherit the land, which ye rejected.
Naye abaana bammwe abato, be mwogeddeko nti balifuulibwa omunyago, ndibayingiza mu nsi eyo gye mugaanye ne beeyagalira omwo.
32 And your carcases shall fall in this wilderness.
Naye mmwe, emirambo gyammwe girisigala mu ddungu muno mwe girigwa.
33 And your sons shall be fed in the wilderness forty years, and they shall bear your fornication, until your carcases be consumed in the wilderness.
Mmwe olw’obutabeera beesigwa, abaana bammwe balimala emyaka amakumi ana mu ddungu nga bwe balunda ebisibo byabwe okutuusa omulambo gw’oyo alisembayo okufa lwe guliziikibwa mu ddungu muno.
34 According to the number of the days during which ye spied the land, forty days, a day for a year, ye shall bear your sins forty years, and ye shall know my fierce anger.
Nga bwe mwamala ennaku amakumi ana nga muketta ensi eri, bwe mutyo bwe mujja okumala emyaka amakumi ana mu ddungu, nga buli lumu ku nnaku ezo muvaamu mwaka gumu gumu; muboneebone olw’ebibi byammwe, mulyoke mutegeere obuzibu obw’okunneesimbamu.
35 I the Lord have spoken, Surely will I do thus to this evil congregation that has risen up together against me: in this wilderness they shall be utterly consumed, and there they shall die.
Nze, Mukama Katonda, nkyogedde; ddala ddala ekyo ndikikola ku kibiina kyonna eky’abantu bano aboonoonyi abeegasse awamu okunjolekera. Tebagenda kuva mu ddungu lino, bonna mwe balifiira.’”
36 And the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land, and who came and murmured against it to the assembly so as to bring out evil words concerning the land, —
Abasajja abo Musa be yatuma okuketta ensi ne bakomawo ne beemulugunyiza ekibiina ky’abantu bonna nga babaleetedde obubaka obutaali bulungi ku nsi eri, era ne babubunyisa mu bantu,
37 the men that spoke evil reports against the land, even died of the plague before the Lord.
abasajja abo abaaleeta obubaka obutaali bulungi ne babubunyisa mu bantu kawumpuli n’abattira awo mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda.
38 And Joshua the son of Naue and Chaleb the son of Jephonne [still] lived of those men that went to spy out the land.
Mu basajja bonna abaatumibwa okuketta ensi, Yoswa mutabani wa Nuuni ne Kalebu mutabani wa Yefune be bokka abaasigalawo nga balamu.
39 And Moses spoke these words to all the children of Israel; and the people mourned exceedingly.
Musa n’ategeeza abaana ba Isirayiri bonna ebigambo ebyo, ne bakungubaga nnyo.
40 And they rose early in the morning and went up to the top of the mountain, saying, Behold, we that are here will go up to the place of which the Lord has spoken, because we have sinned.
Enkeera mu makya ne bambuka mu nsi ey’ensozi. Ne boogera nti, “Twayonoona, naye nga bwe tuli wano tujja kwambuka tuyingire mu nsi Mukama Katonda gye yatusuubiza.”
41 And Moses said, Why do ye transgress the word of the Lord? ye shall not prosper.
Naye Musa n’abagamba nti, “Lwaki munyooma ekiragiro kya Mukama Katonda? Ebyo bye mutegeka tebiyinza kutuukiririra.
42 Go not up, for the Lord is not with you; so shall ye fall before the face of your enemies.
Temwambuka kubanga Mukama Katonda tali nammwe. Abalabe bammwe bajja kubawangula.
43 For Amalec and the Chananite [are] there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword; because ye have disobeyed the Lord and turned aside, and the Lord will not be among you.
Kubanga Abamaleki n’Abakanani bajja kuboolekera. Olwokubanga mwekyusizza ne muva ku Mukama Katonda, tajja kubeera nammwe, ekitala kijja kubatta.”
44 And having forced their passage, they went up to the top of the mountain; but the ark of the covenant of the Lord and Moses stirred not out of the camp.
Naye era bo ne beesigula ne bambuka mu nsi ey’ensozi, newaakubadde nga Musa teyagenda nabo era nga n’essanduuko ey’endagaano yasigala mu lusiisira.
45 And Amalec and the Chananite that dwelt in that mountain came down, and routed them, and destroyed them unto Herman; and they returned to the camp.
Awo Abamaleki n’Abakanani abaabeeranga mu nsi eyo ey’ensozi ne bakkirira ne babalumba ne babakubira ddala okubatuusa e Koluma.
