Numbers 14
1 And all the congregation lifts up, and they give forth their voice, and the people weep during that night;
Na ka hamama te reo o te whakaminenga katoa; a ka tangi te iwi i taua po.
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!
A amuamu ana nga tama katoa a Iharaira ki a Mohi raua ko Arona: a ka mea te whakaminenga katoa ki a raua, Aue, me i mate tatou ki te whenua o Ihipa! aue, me i mate ranei tatou ki tenei koraha!
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?”
He aha tatou i kawea mai ai e Ihowa ki tenei whenua, kia hinga i te hoari: ka waiho a tatou wahine, a tatou tamariki hei taonga parau: ehara ianei te hoki ki Ihipa i te mea pai mo tatou?
4 And they say to one another, “Let us appoint a head and return to Egypt.”
A ka mea ratou tetahi ki tetahi, Me whakatu he upoko mo tatou, ka hoki ki Ihipa.
5 And Moses falls—Aaron also—on their faces, before all the assembly of the congregation of the sons of Israel.
Na ka tapapa a Mohi raua ko Arona ki te aroaro o te huihui katoa o te whakaminenga o nga tama a Iharaira.
6 And Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, of those spying out the land, have torn their garments,
A ka haehae a Hohua, tama a Nunu, raua ko Karepe, tama a Iepune, i o raua kakahu; ko raua hoki etahi o nga kaitutei o te whenua:
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;
A ka korero raua ki te whakaminenga katoa o nga tama a Iharaira, ka mea, He whenua pai rawa te whenua i haerea nei, i tuteia nei e matou.
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;
Ki te aro mai a Ihowa ki a tatou, ka kawea tatou e ia ki taua whenua, ka homai ano e ia ki a tatou; he whenua e rerengia ana e te waiu, e te honi.
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.”
Kaua raia koutou e tutu ki a Ihowa, kaua hoki e wehi i nga tangata o taua whenua, he taro hoki ratou ma tatou: kua mahue ratou i to ratou whakamarumaru, a kei a tatou a Ihowa: kaua e wehi i a ratou.
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.
Heoi ko ta te whakaminenga katoa ki, me aki raua ki te kohatu. Na ko te putanga mai o te kororia o Ihowa i runga i te tapenakara o te whakaminenga ki te aroaro o nga tama katoa a Iharaira.
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?
Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Kia pehea ake te roa o te whakahawea a tenei iwi ki ahau? ahea ranei ratou whakapono ai ki ahau, he maha nei hoki aku tohu i whakakitea i roto i a ratou?
12 I strike it with pestilence, and dispossess it, and make you become a nation greater and mightier than it.”
Ka patua ratou e ahau ki te mate uruta, ka peia atu, a ka meinga koe hei iwi nui atu, kaha atu, i a ratou.
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,
Ano ra ko Mohi ki a Ihowa, Akuanei ka rongo nga Ihipiana; nau hoki tenei iwi i whakaputa mai i runga i tou kaha i roto i a ratou;
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.
Na ka korero ratou ki nga tangata o tenei whenua: kua rongo hoki ratou kei roto koe, e Ihowa, i tenei iwi: e kitea ana ano koe e Ihowa, titiro atu, titiro mai, e tu ana hoki tou kapua i runga i a ratou, e haere ana hoki koe i mua i a ratou i rot o i te pou kapua i te awatea, i roto hoki i te pou ahi i te po.
15 And You have put to death this people as one man, and the nations who have heard Your fame have spoken, saying,
Na ki te whakamatea e koe tenei iwi, ano he tangata kotahi, katahi nga iwi i rongo nei ki tou rongo ka whai kupu, ka mea,
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.
No te mea kihai i kaha a Ihowa ki te kawe i tenei iwi ki te whenua i oati ai ia ki a ratou, koia i whakamatea ai ratou e ia ki te koraha.
17 And now, please let the power of my Lord be great, as You have spoken, saying,
Na kia nui ra te kaha o toku Ariki, kia rite ki tau i korero ai, i mea ai,
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]—
He puhoi a Ihowa ki te riri, he nui tona atawhai, e muru ana i te kino, i te tutu, e kore rawa ano e tuku noa i te hunga he; e mea ana i te kino o nga matua kia tau ki nga tamariki, a te toru, te wha ra ano, o nga whakatupuranga.
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.”
Tena, murua te kino o tenei iwi, kia rite ki te nui o tou atawhai, ki tau muru hoki i nga hara o tenei iwi, o Ihipa mai ano, a taea noatia a konei.
20 And YHWH says, “I have forgiven according to your word,
Na ka mea a Ihowa, Kua murua e ahau, kua peratia me tau i ki mai na:
21 but nevertheless, as I live, indeed, the whole earth is filled [with] the glory of YHWH,
Otiia, e ora nei ahau, a ka kapi te whenua katoa i te kororia o Ihowa;
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—
Na, i te mea ko enei tangata katoa, i kite nei i toku kororia, i aku merekara hoki i meinga ki Ihipa, ki te koraha, a ka tekau nei a ratou whakamatautauranga i ahau, kahore ano i whakarongo ki toku reo;
23 they do not see the land which I have sworn to their fathers, indeed, none of those despising Me see it;
Ina, e kore rawa ratou e kite i te whenua i oati ai ahau ki o ratou matua, e kore ano tetahi o te hunga i whakahawea nei ki ahau e kite i reira:
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.
Engari taku pononga a Karepe, he wairua ke hoki tona, a kua tino whai ia i ahau; e kawea ia e ahau ki te whenua i haere atu na ia; a ka riro a reira i ona uri.
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.”
Na kei te raorao nga Amareki me nga Kanaani e noho ana. Tahuri atu koutou apopo, haere atu ki te koraha, na te huarahi ki te Moana Whero.
26 And YHWH speaks to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi raua ko Arona, i mea,
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;
Kia pehea ake te roa o taku whakamanawanui ki tenei whakaminenga kino, e amuamu nei ki ahau? Kua rongona e ahau nga amuamu a nga tama a Iharaira, e amuamu nei ratou ki ahau.
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?
Mea atu ki a ratou, E ora ana ahau, e ai ta Ihowa, ko ta koutou i korero mai ai ki oku taringa, he pono, ko taku tena e mea ai ki a koutou,
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;
Ka hinga o koutou tinana ki tenei koraha; a ko koutou katoa i taua, puta noa atu i to koutou tokomaha, nga mea e rua tekau, he maha ake hoki, o ratou tau, te hunga hoki i amuamu nei ki ahau,
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.
E kore koutou e tae ki te whenua i oati ai ahau ka whakanohoia koutou ki reira, heoi ano ko Karepe tama o Iepune, raua ko Hohua tama a Nunu.
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;
Otiia ko a koutou potiki, i mea na koutou ka waiho hei taonga parau, ka kawea e ahau ki reira, a ka mohio ratou ki te whenua i whakahaweatia nei e koutou.
32 as for you—your carcasses fall in this wilderness,
Ko koutou ia, ka hinga o koutou tinana ki tenei koraha.
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;
A ka kopikopiko noa a koutou tamariki i te koraha, e wha tekau nga tau, ma ratou hoki e waha a koutou puremutanga, kia poto ra ano o koutou tinana ki te koraha.
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;
Kia rite ra ano ki te maha o nga ra, ki nga ra e wha tekau, i tuteia ai e koutou te whenua, he tau he ra, he tau he ra; e wha tekau nga tau e waha ai e koutou o koutou kino, a ka mohio koutou ki te takanga o taku kupu.
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.”
Naku, na Ihowa te kupu, ina, ka meatia tenei e ahau ki tenei whakaminenga kino katoa, kua huihui nei ki te whakahe ki ahau: ka poto ratou ki tenei koraha, ka mate ano hoki ki konei.
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,
Na, ko nga tangata i unga e Mohi hei tutei mo te whenua, i hoki mai nei, i mea nei kia amuamutia ia e te whakaminenga katoa, i ta ratou kawenga mai i te korero kino mo te whenua,
37 even the men bringing out an evil account of the land, they die by the plague before YHWH;
Ko aua tangata, na ratou nei i kawe mai te korero kino mo te whenua, i mate ratou i te whiu ki te aroaro o Ihowa.
38 and Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh have lived, of those men who go to spy out the land.
Ko Hohua ia, tama a Nunu, raua ko Karepe, tama a Iepune, ko raua i ora o nga tangata i haere ki te tutei i te whenua.
39 And Moses speaks these words to all the sons of Israel, and the people mourn exceedingly,
Na korerotia ana e Mohi enei kupu katoa ki nga tama katoa a Iharaira: a ka pouri rawa te iwi.
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.”
Na ka maranga wawe ratou i te ata, a ka haere ki te tihi o te maunga, me te ki ano, Tenei matou, a ka haere matou ki runga, ki te wahi i korerotia mai e Ihowa: kua hara hoki matou.
41 And Moses says, “Why [is] this [that] you are transgressing the command of YHWH? For it does not prosper;
Na ka mea a Mohi, He aha koutou i takahi ai i te kupu a Ihowa, i te mea kahore e whai wahi?
42 do not go up, for YHWH is not in your midst, and you are not struck before your enemies;
Kaua e haere, kahore na hoki a Ihowa i a koutou, kei patua koutou ki te aroaro o o koutou hoariri.
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.”
Kei reira hoki nga Amareki ratou ko nga Kanaani, kei mua i a koutou, a ka hinga koutou i te hoari: mo koutou kua tahuri atu i te whai i a Ihowa, koia a Ihowa te piri ai ki a koutou.
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.
Heoi ka pokanoa ratou ki te piki ki te tihi o te maunga: otiia kihai te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa, me Mohi hoki, i hiki atu i te puni.
45 And the Amalekite and the Canaanite who are dwelling in that mountain come down and strike them, and beat them down to Hormah.
Na ka heke iho nga Amareki ratou ko nga Kanaani e noho ana i taua maunga, a patua ana ratou, tukituki rawa, a taea noatia a Horema.
