< Numbers 14 >

1 And all the congregation lifts up, and they give forth their voice, and the people weep during that night;
Nʼabalị ahụ, ọgbakọ Izrel niile weliri olu ha bido iti mkpu akwa. Ha kwagidere akwa a abalị niile.
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!
Ndị Izrel niile tamuru ntamu megide Mosis na Erọn. Ọgbakọ ahụ niile sị ha, “Ọ gaara aka mma ma a sị na anyị nwụrụ nʼala Ijipt maọbụ nʼọzara a.
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?”
Gịnị mere Onyenwe anyị ji akpọbata anyị nʼala a ime ka anyị daa nʼihu mma agha. Ndị nwunye anyị na ụmụ anyị ga-aghọ ndị a dọtara nʼagha. Ọ garaghị akara anyị mma ịlaghachi azụ nʼIjipt?”
4 And they say to one another, “Let us appoint a head and return to Egypt.”
Ya mere ha kwekọrịtara nʼetiti onwe ha sị, “Ka anyị họpụtaranụ onwe anyị onyendu ga-edughachi anyị azụ nʼIjipt.”
5 And Moses falls—Aaron also—on their faces, before all the assembly of the congregation of the sons of Israel.
Mgbe ahụ, Mosis na Erọn dara kpuo ihu nʼala nʼihu ọgbakọ ndị Izrel niile zukọtara nʼebe ahụ.
6 And Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, of those spying out the land, have torn their garments,
Mmadụ abụọ nʼime ndị nledo ahụ, Joshua nwa Nun na Kaleb nwa Jefune, dọwara uwe ha.
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;
Ha gwara nzukọ Izrel sị, “Ala ahụ anyị gara ledoo anya bụ ala mara mma.
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;
Ọ bụrụ na ihe banyere anyị na-atọ Onyenwe anyị ụtọ, ọ ga-edu anyị bata nʼala ahụ, ala mmiri ara ehi na mmanụ aṅụ na-eru na ya.
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.”
Unu enupukwala isi megide Onyenwe anyị. Unu atụkwala egwu ndị bi nʼime ala ahụ, nʼihi na anyị ga-emeri ha. Onyenwe anyị nọnyeere anyị. O wepụkwala aka nchebe ya nʼahụ ha. Unu atụla egwu ha.”
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.
Ma naanị nzaghachi ọgbakọ ndị Izrel nyere nʼihi okwu nkasiobi ndị a bụ iche uche otu ha ga-esi jiri nkume tugbuo Joshua na Kaleb. Nʼoge a, ebube Onyenwe anyị pụtara ihe nʼụlọ nzute ahụ nye ndị Izrel niile.
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?
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị, “Ruo ole mgbe ka ndị a ga-anọgide na-eleda m anya? Ruo ole mgbe ka ha ga-anọ ju ikwenye na m, nʼagbanyeghị ọtụtụ ihe ịrịbama nke m mere nʼetiti ha.
12 I strike it with pestilence, and dispossess it, and make you become a nation greater and mightier than it.”
Aga m eji nrịa nrịa nke na-efe efe tigbuo ha. Napụ ha ihe ha nwere. Ma aga m emekwa gị ka ị ghọọ mba dị ukwuu, nke ga-adị ukwuu, dịkwa ike karịa ha.”
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,
Ma Mosis rịọrọ Onyenwe anyị sị ya, “Gịnị ka ndị Ijipt ga-eche banyere nke a, mgbe ha ga-anụ ya? Ha maara nke ọma otu ị sịrị jiri ike gị napụta ndị a site nʼetiti ha.
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.
Ha agwakwala ndị bi nʼobodo ndị a ihe banyere ya. Ndị obodo ndị a anụla ihe banyere gị Onyenwe anyị, matakwa na ị nọnyeere Izrel, na gị bụ Onyenwe anyị na ndị Izrel na-ekwurịta okwu ihu na ihu. Ha anụkwala na ogidi igwe ojii gị Onyenwe anyị na-eguzo nʼelu, nʼisi anyị. Ha matakwara na ị na-edu anyị nʼime ogidi igwe ojii nʼehihie, na nʼime ogidi na-enwu ọkụ nʼabalị.
15 And You have put to death this people as one man, and the nations who have heard Your fame have spoken, saying,
Ma ugbu a, ọ bụrụ na i gbusie ndị gị a dum, mba niile nụrụla akụkọ ndị a banyere gị ga-asị,
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.
‘Onyenwe anyị enweghị ike ịkpọbata ndị a nʼala ahụ o kwere nkwa inye ha. Ọ bụ ya mere o ji gbuo ha nʼọzara.’
17 And now, please let the power of my Lord be great, as You have spoken, saying,
“Ugbu a ka Onyenwe anyị gosi ike ya dị ukwuu, dịka i si kwuo.
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]—
Onyenwe anyị bụ onye na-adịghị ewe iwe ọsịịsọ, onye jupụtara nʼịhụnanya, onye na-agbaghara mmehie na nnupu isi. Ma ọ dịghị ahapụ onye ikpe mara ka ọ laa na-anataghị ahụhụ, ọ na-ata ụmụ ahụhụ nʼihi mmehie nna nna ha ruo nʼọgbọ nke atọ na nke anọ.
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.”
Dịka ịdị ukwuu nke ịhụnanya gị si dị; gbaghara mmehie nke ndị a mere, dịka i si agbaghara ha kemgbe ha hapụrụ Ijipt ruo ugbu a.”
20 And YHWH says, “I have forgiven according to your word,
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị zaghachiri Mosis sị ya, “Agbagharala m ha dịka ị rịọrọ.
21 but nevertheless, as I live, indeed, the whole earth is filled [with] the glory of YHWH,
Ma dịka m na-adị ndụ na dịka ọ bụ eziokwu na ụwa niile ga-ejupụta nʼebube Onyenwe anyị.
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—
Ọ dịghị otu onye nʼetiti ndị ikom niile hụrụla ebube m, na ọrụ ịrịbama niile m rụrụ nʼime Ijipt, na nʼime ọzara a, ma bụrụ onye nupuru isi nye m na onye nwaara m ugboro iri ndị a,
23 they do not see the land which I have sworn to their fathers, indeed, none of those despising Me see it;
o nweghị onye ọbụla nʼime ha ga-ahụ ala ahụ m sitere nʼịṅụ iyi kwee nkwa inye nna nna ha. O nweghị onye ọbụla nʼime ndị a lelịrị m ga-ahụ ala ahụ anya.
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.
Ma ohu m nwoke Kaleb bụ nwoke nwere mmụọ dị iche. O rubeere m isi nʼihe niile. Aga m akpọbata ya nʼala ahụ ọ banyere dịka onye nledo. Ụmụ ụmụ ya niile ga-eketa ya.
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.”
Ma ugbu a, ebe ndị Izrel na-atụ ndị Amalek na ndị Kenan bi nʼime ndagwurugwu ahụ egwu, echi, unu ga-atụgharịa laghachi azụ nʼọzara ahụ; chee ụzọ gaje Osimiri Uhie ahụ ihu.”
26 And YHWH speaks to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis na Erọn okwu sị,
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;
“Ruo ole mgbe ka ọgbakọ ọjọọ a ga-anọgide na-atamu ntamu megide m? Nʼihi na anụla m ntamu niile nke ndị Izrel a.
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?
Gwa ha si, ‘Dị ka m na-adị ndụ, ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri, aga m emeso unu mmeso dịka unu kwunyere ya na ntị m.
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;
Unu niile ga-anwụpịa nʼime ọzara a! Onye ọbụla nʼime unu niile gbarala iri afọ abụọ maọbụ karịa, nke tamuru ntamu megide m.
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.
O nweghị onye ọbụla nʼime unu ga-abanye nʼala ahụ, m sitere nʼaka m welie elu ṅụọ iyi ime ka ọ bụrụ ebe obibi unu, karịa Kaleb nwa Jefune na Joshua nwa Nun.
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;
Ma ebe unu tụrụ egwu sị na ụmụ unu na-aga ibu ndị ohu nye ndị bi nʼala ahụ. Lee na aga m edubata ha nʼime ala ahụ. Ha ga-eketakwa ala ahụ unu jụrụ, nke unu ledara anya.
32 as for you—your carcasses fall in this wilderness,
Ma unu onwe unu, ozu unu ga-ada aghara aghara nʼọzara a.
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;
Ụmụ unu ga-abụkwa ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ nʼime ọzara a iri afọ anọ, na-ata ahụhụ nʼihi ekwesighị ntụkwasị obi, ruo mgbe ozu onye ikpeazụ nʼime unu ga-atọgbọrọ nʼime ọzara.
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;
Iri afọ anọ ka unu ga-ata ahụhụ nʼihi mmehie unu, matakwa ihe ọ pụtara bụ mụ iguzo megide unu, ya bụ otu afọ ga-anọchi otu ụbọchị nʼime iri ụbọchị anọ ahụ unu ji ledoo ala ahụ anya.
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.”
Mụ onwe m, bụ Onyenwe anyị, ekwuola ya. Nke a ka m na-aghaghị ime ka ọ dakwasị ajọ nzukọ ndị a, bụ ndị gbakọrọ megide m. Ha ga-ezute ọgwụgwụ ha nʼọzara, nʼebe a ka ha ga-anwụ.’”
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,
Ya mere ndị ahụ Mosis zipụrụ iledo ala ahụ, ndị ahụ lọtara mee ka ọgbakọ ụmụ Izrel tamuo ntamu nʼihi akụkọ ọjọọ ha gbasara.
37 even the men bringing out an evil account of the land, they die by the plague before YHWH;
Ndị ikom ndị ahụ e si nʼọnụ ha gbasaa akụkọ ọjọọ banyere ala ahụ, ka e ji nrịa nrịa na-efe efe tigbuo nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.
38 and Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh have lived, of those men who go to spy out the land.
Nʼime ndị ikom gara ledoo ala ahụ anya, ọ bụ naanị Joshua nwa Nun na Kaleb nwa Jefune fọdụrụ ndụ.
39 And Moses speaks these words to all the sons of Israel, and the people mourn exceedingly,
Mgbe Mosis gwara ụmụ Izrel okwu niile si nʼọnụ Onyenwe anyị, ha ruru ụjụ dị ilu.
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.”
Nʼisi ụtụtụ echi ya, ha biliri nʼoge bulie ije ịga nʼala ugwu ugwu ahụ. Ha sịrị, “Anyị emehiela. Ugbu a anyị ejikerela ije nʼala ahụ Onyenwe anyị kwere anyị nkwa.”
41 And Moses says, “Why [is] this [that] you are transgressing the command of YHWH? For it does not prosper;
Ma Mosis zara sị ha, “Gịnị mere unu ji enupu isi nʼiwu Onyenwe anyị nyere? Nke a agaghị aga nke ọma.
42 do not go up, for YHWH is not in your midst, and you are not struck before your enemies;
Unu arịgokwala, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị anọghị nʼetiti unu. Ndị iro unu ga-emerikwa unu.
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.”
Nʼihi na ndị Amalek na ndị Kenan nọ na-eche unu nʼebe ahụ! Ebe ọ bụ na unu esitela nʼebe Onyenwe anyị nọ wezuga onwe unu, ọ gaghị anọnyere unu, unu ga-adakwa nʼihu mma agha.”
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.
Nʼagbanyeghịkwa nke a, na ha enweghị nkwado. Ha rigooro ruo ebe kachasị elu nʼobodo ahụ dị nʼugwu, ọ bụ ezie na Mosis maọbụ igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị esighị nʼọmụma ụlọ ikwu ahụ pụọ.
45 And the Amalekite and the Canaanite who are dwelling in that mountain come down and strike them, and beat them down to Hormah.
Mgbe ahụ, ndị Amalek na ndị Kenan bụ ndị bi nʼobodo ugwu ahụ, rịdatara lụso ha ọgụ. Tidaa ha nʼala ruo Homa.
