< Numbers 14 >
1 Then all ye Congregation lifted vp their voice, and cryed: and the people wept that night,
Israelviwo katã de asi avifafa me sesĩe. Wofa avi zã blibo la.
2 And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron: and the whole assemblie said vnto them, Would God we had died in the land of Egypt, or in this wildernesse: would God we were dead.
Israelviwo katã lĩ liʋĩliʋĩ ɖe Mose kple Aron ŋu, eye ame haho la katã gblɔ na wo be, “Ɖe míeku ɖe Egipte la, anye ne enyo wu alo ɖe gbedzi afi sia la, ne enyo ŋutɔ!
3 Wherefore nowe hath the Lord brought vs into this lande to fall vpon the sworde? our wiues, and our children shall be a pray: were it not better for vs to returne into Egypt?
Nu ka ŋuti Yehowa kplɔ mí va anyigba sia dzi be míatsi yi nu? Mía srɔ̃nyɔnuwo kple mía viwo azu nuhaha. Ɖe manyo wu ne míagbugbɔ ayi Egipte oa?”
4 And they said one to another, Let vs make a Captaine and returne into Egypt.
Wogblɔ na wo nɔewo be, “Mina míatia kplɔla si akplɔ mí míatrɔ ayi Egipte!”
5 Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assemblie of the Congregation of the children of Israel.
Tete Mose kple Aron wotsyɔ mo anyi ɖe Israelvi siwo katã ƒo ƒu ɖe afi ma la ƒe ŋkume.
6 And Ioshua the sonne of Nun, and Caleb the sonne of Iephunneh two of them that searched the lande, rent their clothes,
Yosua, Nun ƒe vi kple Kaleb, Yefune ƒe vi, ame siwo nɔ ŋkutsalawo dome, tsa ŋku le anyigba la dzi la, dze woƒe awuwo,
7 And spake vnto all the assemblie of the childre of Israel, saying, The land which we walked through to search it, is a very good lande.
hegblɔ na Israel ha blibo la be, “Anyigba si dzi míeto hetsa ŋku le la nyo ŋutɔ.
8 If the Lord loue vs, he will bring vs into this land, and giue it vs, which is a land that floweth with milke and honie.
Nenye be míaƒe nu nyo Yehowa ŋu la, akplɔ mí ayi ɖe anyigba ma dzi, anyigba si dzi notsi kple anyitsi le tsatsam le, eye wòatsɔe ana mí.
9 But rebell not ye against the Lord, neither feare ye the people of the land: for they are but bread for vs: their shielde is departed from the, and the Lord is with vs, feare them not.
Gake ɖekoe miagadze aglã ɖe Yehowa ŋu o, eye migavɔ̃ ame siwo le anyigba la dzi o, wo dzi ɖuɖu le bɔbɔe na mí, elabena luʋɔ dzo le wo ta, ke míawo ya la, Yehowa li kpli mí, eya ta migavɔ̃ na wo o.”
10 And all the multitude saide, Stone them with stones: but the glory of the Lord appeared in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, before all the children of Israel.
Ke ameha blibo la ƒo nu tso kpeƒuƒu wo ŋu. Tete Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe dze le agbadɔ la gbɔ na Israelviwo katã.
11 And the Lord said vnto Moses, How long will this people prouoke me, and howe long will it be, yer they beleeue me, for al the signes which I haue shewed among them?
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣie ame siawo ado vlom? Va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣie woagbe be yewomaxɔ dzinye ase o le dzesi wɔnuku siwo mewɔ la katã megbe?
12 I will smite them with the pestilence and destroy them, and will make thee a greater nation and mightier then they.
Womaganye nye domenyilawo o. Matsrɔ̃ wo kple dɔvɔ̃. Mana dukɔ si alolo sãa, eye wòasẽ ŋu sãa wu Israel la nado tso mewò!”
13 But Moses saide vnto the Lord, When the Egyptians shall heare it, (for thou broughtest this people by thy power from among them)
Mose ƒo koko na Yehowa be, “Ke nu ka Egiptetɔwo abu ne wose nya sia? Wonya ŋusẽ si nèɖe fia le wò amewo ɖeɖe me la nyuie.
14 Then they shall say to the inhabitants of this land, (for they haue heard that thou, Lord, art among this people, and that thou, Lord, art seene face to face, and that thy cloude standeth ouer them, and that thou goest before them by day time in a pillar of a cloude, and in a pillar of fire by night)
Wogblɔ nya sia na anyigba sia dzi nɔlawo, eye wonya nyuie be, wò Yehowa nèle Israel dzi, eye nèƒoa nu kplii ŋkume kple ŋkume. Wokpɔa lilikpo dodo la kple dzo bibi la wonɔa mía tame. Wonya be èkplɔa mí, eye nèkpɔa mía ta le ŋkeke me kple zã me siaa.
15 That thou wilt kill this people as one man: so the heathen which haue heard the fame of thee, shall thus say,
Azɔ ne èwu wò amewo la, dukɔ siwo se nu tso wò ŋkɔxɔxɔ ŋu la agblɔ be,
16 Because the Lord was not able to bring this people into the lande, which he sware vnto them, therefore hath he slaine them in the wildernesse.
‘Enɔ na Yehowa be wòawu wo, elabena mete ŋu kpɔ wo ta le gbedzi o. Ŋusẽ menɔ eŋu be wòate ŋu akplɔ wo ayi anyigba si wòka atam be yeatsɔ ana wo la dzi o.’
17 And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my Lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying,
“Azɔ la, wòaɖe Yehowa ƒe ŋusẽ afia abe ale si nèɖe gbeƒãe ene:
18 The Lord is slowe to anger, and of great mercie, and forgiuing iniquitie, and sinne, but not making the wicked innocent, and visiting the wickednes of the fathers vpon the children, in the thirde and fourth generation:
‘Yehowa le blewu le dɔmedzoedodo me, eƒe amenuveve sɔ gbɔ, eye wòtsɔa nu vɔ̃ kple aglãdzedze kena. Ke megbea tohehe na fɔɖilawo o. Ehea to na ɖeviwo ɖe wo fofowo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta va se ɖe dzidzime etɔ̃lia kple enelia dzi.’
19 Be mercifull, I beseech thee, vnto the iniquitie of this people, according to thy great mercie, and as thou hast forgiuen this people from Egypt, euen vntill nowe.
O! Meɖe kuku na wò, tsɔ ameawo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo ke wo le wò lɔlɔ̃ triakɔ si metrɔna o la ta, abe ale si nètsɔ nu vɔ̃wo ke wo ɣe sia ɣi tso esime míedzo le Egipte va se ɖe fifia ene.”
20 And the Lord said, I haue forgiuen it, according to thy request.
Yehowa ɖo eŋu be, “Metsɔe ke wo abe ale si nèbia ene.
21 Notwithstanding, as I liue, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord.
Gake zi ale si mele agbe, eye zi ale si Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe yɔ anyigba blibo la dzi la,
22 For all those men which haue seene my glory, and my miracles which I did in Egypt, and in the wildernes, and haue tempted me this ten times, and haue not obeyed my voyce,
nenema tututue wòanye nyateƒe, be ame siwo kpɔ nye ŋutikɔkɔe kple nukunu siwo mewɔ le Egipte kple gbedzi siaa, eye wogbe zi ewo be yewomaka ɖe dzinye o, eye yewomaɖo tom hã o la dometɔ ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã
23 Certainely they shall not see the lande, whereof I sware vnto their fathers: neither shall any that prouoke me, see it.
makpɔ anyigba si ŋugbe medo na ame siawo tɔgbuiwo o.
24 But my seruant Caleb, because he had another spirite, and hath followed me stil, euen him will I bring into the lande, whither he went, and his seede shall inherite it.
Ke nye dɔla, Kaleb ya nye ame bubu aɖe kura, eɖo tom ale si dze. Makplɔe ayi anyigba si dzi wòde abe ŋkutsala ene la, eye eƒe dzidzimeviwo akpɔ woƒe gome dedie le eme.
25 Nowe the Amalekites and the Canaanites remaine in the valley: wherefore turne backe to morowe, and get you into the wildernesse, by the way of the red Sea.
Azɔ la, esi Israelviwo le vɔvɔ̃m nenema gbegbe na Amalekitɔwo kple Kanaantɔwo, ame siwo le baliawo me ta la, etsɔ la, ele na mi be miagatrɔ ayi gbedzi, aɖo ta Ƒu Dzĩ la gbɔ.”
26 After, the Lord spake vnto Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose kple Aron be,
27 How long shall I suffer this wicked multitude to murmure against me? I haue heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmure against me.
“Va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣie ameha vɔ̃ɖi sia alĩ liʋĩliʋĩ ɖe ŋutinye? Mese Israelvi liʋĩliʋĩlĩla siawo ƒe liʋĩliʋĩlilĩ.
28 Tell them, As I liue (saith the Lord) I wil surely do vnto you, euen as ye haue spoken in mine eares.
Migblɔ na wo be, ‘Yehowa ka atam be yeana nu si vɔ̃m miele la nava mia dzi.
29 Your carkeises shall fall in this wildernes, and all you that were counted through all your nombers, from twentie yeere olde and aboue, which haue murmured against me,
Mi katã miaku ɖe gbedzi le afi sia! Ame ɖeka pɛ si xɔ ƒe blaeve alo wu nenema, ame si lĩ liʋĩliʋĩ le ŋutinye gɔ̃ hã la
30 Ye shall not doubtles come into the land, for the which I lifted vp mine hande, to make you dwell therein, saue Caleb the sonne of Iephunneh, and Ioshua the sonne of Nun.
made Ŋugbedodonyigba la dzi o. Kaleb, Yefune ƒe viŋutsu kple Yosua, Nun ƒe viŋutsu, koe aɖo anyigba la dzi.
31 But your children, (which ye said shoulde be a pray) them will I bring in, and they shall knowe the lande which ye haue refused:
Miegblɔ be yewo viwo ava zu kluviwo na anyigba la dzi tɔwo. Le esia teƒe la, makplɔ mia viwo boŋ woaɖo anyigba la dzi dedie, eye woawo anyi nu si miawo miedo vloe la ƒe dome.
32 But euen your carkeises shall fall in this wildernes,
Ke miawo la, miaku ɖe gbe sia dzi.
33 And your children shall wander in the wildernesse, fourtie yeeres, and shall beare your whoredomes, vntill your carkeises be wasted in the wildernesse.
Miatsa tsaglalã le gbedzi abe alẽnyilawo ene ƒe blaene. Ale miaxe fe ɖe miaƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta va se ɖe esime mia dometɔ mamlɛtɔ naku ɖe gbedzi.
34 After the number of the dayes, in the which ye searched out the lande, euen fourtie dayes, euery day for a yeere, shall ye beare your iniquity, for fourtie yeeres, and ye shall feele my breach of promise.
Ƒe blaene, ƒe ɖeka ɖe ŋkeke ɖeka ɖe sia ɖe si mietsa ŋku le anyigba la dzi nu, miakpe fu ɖe miaƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta, eye mianya nu si wònye be miana matrɔ le mia yome.’
35 I the Lord haue said, Certainely I will doe so to all this wicked company, that are gathered together against me: for in this wildernesse they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.
Nye, Yehowa, meƒo nu, eye mawɔ nu siawo ameha vɔ̃ɖi blibo la, ameha si bla ɖe ŋunye la kokoko. Woƒe nuwuwu aɖo le gbegbe sia dzi; afi siae woaku ɖo.”
36 And the men which Moses had sent to search the land (which, when they came againe, made all the people to murmure against him, and brought vp a slander vpon the lande)
Ale ame siwo Mose ɖo ɖa be woatsa ŋku le anyigba la dzi, eye wogbɔ va na ameha blibo la lĩ liʋĩliʋĩ ɖe eŋu to nutsotso vɔ̃ nana tso anyigba la ŋuti me
37 Euen those men that did bring vp that vile slander vpon the land, shall die by a plague before the Lord.
la, ame siwo na nutsotso vɔ̃ tso anyigba la ŋu la, woƒo wo ƒu anyi, eye woku le dɔvɔ̃ ta le Yehowa ŋkume.
38 But Ioshua the sonne of Nun, and Caleb the sonne of Iephunneh, of those men that went to search the land, shall liue.
Yosua kple Yefune ƒe vi Kaleb koe susɔ le ŋkutsalawo dome.
39 Then Moses tolde these sayings vnto all the children of Israel, and the people sorowed greatly.
Esi Mose gblɔ nya siwo Yehowa gblɔ nɛ la na Israelviwo la, nuxaxa gã aɖe ge ɖe asaɖa blibo la me.
40 And they rose vp earely in the morning, and gate them vp into the toppe of the mountaine, saying, Loe, we be readie, to goe vp to the place which the Lord hath promised: for wee haue sinned.
Wofɔ ŋdi kanya, eye wodze mɔ ɖo ta Ŋugbedodonyigba la dzi. Ameawo gblɔ be, “Míedze sii be míewɔ nu vɔ̃, ke míele klalo azɔ be, míayi anyigba si ŋugbe Yehowa do na mí la dzi!”
41 But Moses said, Wherefore transgresse yee thus the commandement of the Lord? it will not so come well to passe.
Ke Mose gblɔ be, “Nu ka ŋuti miele tsitre tsim ɖe Yehowa ƒe ɖoɖo la ŋu? Mele edzi dze ge o!
42 Goe not vp (for the Lord is not among you) lest ye be ouerthrowe before your enemies.
Migazɔ ɖe miaƒe ɖoɖowo nu o; ne menye nenema o la, miaƒe futɔwo aɖu mia dzi, elabena Yehowa mele mia yome o.
43 For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye shall fall by the sworde: for in as much as ye are turned away from the Lord, the Lord also will not be with you.
Mieɖo ŋku edzi oa? Amalekitɔwo kple Kanaantɔwo le afi ma eye miatsi yi nu! Miegbugbɔ le Yehowa yome. Azɔ la, eya hã agbugbɔ le mia yome.”
44 Yet they presumed obstinately to goe vp to the top of the mountaine: but the Arke of the couenant of the Lord, and Moses departed not out of the campe.
Ke togbɔ be Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la loo alo Mose medzo le asaɖa la me o hã la, ameawo dze mɔ yi toawo dzi.
45 Then the Amalekites and the Canaanites, which dwelt in that mountaine, came downe and smote them, and consumed them vnto Hormah.
Tete Amalekitɔwo kple Kanaantɔwo, ame siwo le toawo dzi la ɖiɖi ɖe wo dzi, kpe aʋa kpli wo, eye wonya wo ɖo ɖe Horma.
