Numbers 14
1 And all the congregation lifts up, and they give forth their voice, and the people weep during that night;
Israelviwo katã de asi avifafa me sesĩe. Wofa avi zã blibo la.
2 and all the sons of Israel murmur against Moses and against Aaron, and all the congregation says to them, “O that we had died in the land of Egypt, or in this wilderness, O that we had died!
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 And why is YHWH bringing us to this land to fall by the sword, [that] our wives and our infants become a prey? Is it not good for us to return to 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 say to one another, “Let us appoint a head and return to Egypt.”
Wogblɔ na wo nɔewo be, “Mina míatia kplɔla si akplɔ mí míatrɔ ayi Egipte!”
5 And Moses falls—Aaron also—on their faces, before all the assembly of the congregation of the sons of Israel.
Tete Mose kple Aron wotsyɔ mo anyi ɖe Israelvi siwo katã ƒo ƒu ɖe afi ma la ƒe ŋkume.
6 And Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, of those spying out the land, have torn their garments,
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 they speak to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, saying, “The land into which we have passed over to spy it out [is] a very, very good land;
hegblɔ na Israel ha blibo la be, “Anyigba si dzi míeto hetsa ŋku le la nyo ŋutɔ.
8 if YHWH has delighted in us, then He has brought us into this land, and has given it to us, a land which is flowing with milk and honey;
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 only, do not rebel against YHWH: and you, do not fear the people of the land, for they [are] our bread; their defense has turned aside from off them, and YHWH [is] with us; do not fear them.”
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 congregation says to stone them with stones, and the glory of YHWH has appeared in the Tent of Meeting to all the sons 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 YHWH says to Moses, “Until when does this people despise Me? And until when do they not believe in Me, for all the signs which I have done in its midst?
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 strike it with pestilence, and dispossess it, and make you become a nation greater and mightier than it.”
Womaganye nye domenyilawo o. Matsrɔ̃ wo kple dɔvɔ̃. Mana dukɔ si alolo sãa, eye wòasẽ ŋu sãa wu Israel la nado tso mewò!”
13 And Moses says to YHWH, “Then the Egyptians have heard! For with Your power You have brought up this people out of their midst,
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 and they have said [it] to the inhabitant of this land, they have heard that You, YHWH, [are] in the midst of this people, that You are seen eye to eye—O YHWH, and Your cloud is standing over them—and in a pillar of cloud You are going before them by day, 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 And You have put to death this people as one man, and the nations who have heard Your fame have spoken, saying,
Azɔ ne èwu wò amewo la, dukɔ siwo se nu tso wò ŋkɔxɔxɔ ŋu la agblɔ be,
16 From YHWH’s want of ability to bring in this people to the land which He has sworn to them, He slaughters them in the wilderness.
‘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, please let the power of my Lord be great, as You have spoken, saying,
“Azɔ la, wòaɖe Yehowa ƒe ŋusẽ afia abe ale si nèɖe gbeƒãe ene:
18 YHWH [is] slow to anger and of great kindness, bearing away iniquity and transgression, and not entirely acquitting, charging iniquity of fathers on sons, on a third and on a 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 please forgive the iniquity of this people, according to the greatness of Your kindness, and as You have borne with this people from Egypt, even until now.”
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 YHWH says, “I have forgiven according to your word,
Yehowa ɖo eŋu be, “Metsɔe ke wo abe ale si nèbia ene.
21 but nevertheless, as I live, indeed, the whole earth is filled [with] the glory of YHWH,
Gake zi ale si mele agbe, eye zi ale si Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe yɔ anyigba blibo la dzi la,
22 for all the men who are seeing My glory and My signs which I have done in Egypt and in the wilderness, and try Me these ten times, and have not listened to My voice—
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 they do not see the land which I have sworn to their fathers, indeed, none of those despising Me see it;
makpɔ anyigba si ŋugbe medo na ame siawo tɔgbuiwo o.
24 but My servant Caleb, because there has been another spirit with him, and he is fully after Me—I have brought him into the land to where he has entered, and his seed possesses 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 And the Amalekite and the Canaanite are dwelling in the valley; tomorrow turn and journey for yourselves into the wilderness—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 And YHWH speaks to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose kple Aron be,
27 “Until when [do I bear] with this evil congregation—they who are murmuring against Me? The murmurings of the sons of Israel, which they are murmuring against Me, I have heard;
“Va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣie ameha vɔ̃ɖi sia alĩ liʋĩliʋĩ ɖe ŋutinye? Mese Israelvi liʋĩliʋĩlĩla siawo ƒe liʋĩliʋĩlilĩ.
28 say to them: As I live—a declaration of YHWH—if, as you have spoken in My ears, do I not do so to you?
Migblɔ na wo be, ‘Yehowa ka atam be yeana nu si vɔ̃m miele la nava mia dzi.
29 Your carcasses fall in this wilderness, even all your numbered ones, to all your number, from a son of twenty years and upward, who have 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 you do not come into the land [for] which I have lifted up My hand to cause you to dwell in it, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.
made Ŋugbedodonyigba la dzi o. Kaleb, Yefune ƒe viŋutsu kple Yosua, Nun ƒe viŋutsu, koe aɖo anyigba la dzi.
31 As for your infants—of whom you have said, They become a spoil—I have even brought them in, and they have known the land which you have kicked against;
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 as for you—your carcasses fall in this wilderness,
Ke miawo la, miaku ɖe gbe sia dzi.
33 and your sons are shepherding in the wilderness [for] forty years, and have borne your whoredoms until your carcasses are consumed in the wilderness;
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 by the number of the days [in] which you spied out the land, forty days—a day for a year, a day for a year—you bear your iniquities [for] forty years, and you have known My opposition;
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, YHWH, have spoken; if, nonetheless, I do this to all this evil congregation who are meeting against Me—they are consumed in this wilderness, and there they 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 Then the men whom Moses has sent to spy out the land, [who] then return and cause all the congregation to murmur against him by bringing out an evil account concerning the land,
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 even the men bringing out an evil account of the land, they die by the plague before YHWH;
la, ame siwo na nutsotso vɔ̃ tso anyigba la ŋu la, woƒo wo ƒu anyi, eye woku le dɔvɔ̃ ta le Yehowa ŋkume.
38 and Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh have lived, of those men who go to spy out the land.
Yosua kple Yefune ƒe vi Kaleb koe susɔ le ŋkutsalawo dome.
39 And Moses speaks these words to all the sons of Israel, and the people mourn exceedingly,
Esi Mose gblɔ nya siwo Yehowa gblɔ nɛ la na Israelviwo la, nuxaxa gã aɖe ge ɖe asaɖa blibo la me.
40 and they rise early in the morning, and go up to the top of the mountain, saying, “Here we [are], and we have come up to the place which YHWH has spoken of, for we have 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 And Moses says, “Why [is] this [that] you are transgressing the command of YHWH? For it does not prosper;
Ke Mose gblɔ be, “Nu ka ŋuti miele tsitre tsim ɖe Yehowa ƒe ɖoɖo la ŋu? Mele edzi dze ge o!
42 do not go up, for YHWH is not in your midst, and you are not struck 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 Amalekite and the Canaanite [are] there before you, and you have fallen by the sword, because that you have turned back from after YHWH, and YHWH is not 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 And they presume to go up to the top of the mountain, but the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH, and Moses, have not departed out of the midst of the camp.
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 And the Amalekite and the Canaanite who are dwelling in that mountain come down and strike them, and beat them down to 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.
