< Numbers 14 >

1 And all the congregation lifts up, and they give forth their voice, and the people weep during that night;
Halkan sana namoonni waldaa sanaa hundinuu sagalee isaanii ol fudhatanii booʼan.
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!
Israaʼeloonni hundinuu Musee fi Aroonitti guunguman; waldaan guutuunis akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Nu utuu biyyuma Gibxitti dhumnee jiraannee! Yookaan utuu gammoojjii kana keessatti dhumnee jiraannee!
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?”
Waaqayyo maaliif akka nu goraadeedhaan dhumnuuf jedhee biyya kanatti nu fida? Niitonni keenyaa fi ijoolleen keenya ni boojiʼamu. Biyya Gibxitti deebiʼuun nuu hin wayyuu?”
4 And they say to one another, “Let us appoint a head and return to Egypt.”
Isaanis, “Amma hoogganaa filannee biyya Gibxitti haa deebinu” waliin jedhan.
5 And Moses falls—Aaron also—on their faces, before all the assembly of the congregation of the sons of Israel.
Kana irratti Musee fi Aroon fuula guutummaa yaaʼii Israaʼel kanneen achitti walitti qabamanii duratti addaan lafatti gombifaman.
6 And Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, of those spying out the land, have torn their garments,
Jarreen biyyattii keessa deemanii basaasan keessaa Iyyaasuun ilmi Nuuniitii fi Kaaleb ilmi Yefunee uffata ofii tarsaasanii,
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;
guutummaa yaaʼii Israaʼelootaatiin akkana jedhan; “Biyyi nu keessa deemnee basaasne sun akka malee gaarii dha.
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;
Waaqayyo yoo nutti gammade biyya sanatti nu galchee biyyattii aannanii fi damma baaftu sana nuu kenna.
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.”
Isin garuu Waaqayyotti hin fincilinaa. Waan nu isaan lilliqimsinuuf namoota biyya sanaa hin sodaatinaa. Gaaddisni isaan irraa kaʼeera; Waaqayyo nu wajjin jira. Isaan hin sodaatinaa.”
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.
Waldaan guutuun garuu dhagaan isaan tumuudhaaf mariʼate. Ulfinni Waaqayyoos fuula dunkaana wal gaʼii duratti Israaʼeloota hundatti mulʼate.
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?
Waaqayyos Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Sabni kun hamma yoomiitti akkana na tuffata? Utuma ani mallattoowwan kanneen hunda gidduu isaaniitti hojjedhuu isaan hamma yoomiitti na amanuu didu?
12 I strike it with pestilence, and dispossess it, and make you become a nation greater and mightier than it.”
Ani golfaadhaan dhaʼee isaan nan balleessa; siʼi garuu saba isaan caalaa guddaa fi jabaa sin godha.”
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,
Museen Waaqayyoon akkana jedhe; “Warri Gibxi waaʼee waan kanaa ni dhagaʼu! Ati humna keetiin saba kana gidduu isaaniitii baaftee fiddeertaatii.
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.
Isaanis waaʼee waan kanaa saba biyya sana keessa jiraatutti ni odeessu. Yaa Waaqayyo, isaan akka ati saba kana gidduu jirtu dhagaʼaniiru; yaa Waaqayyo isaan akka ati fuuluma isaaniitti mulʼatu, akka duumassi kee isaaniin ol jiruu fi akka ati guyyaa utubaa duumessaatiin, halkan immoo utubaa ibiddaatiin isaan dura deemtu dhagaʼanii jiru.
15 And You have put to death this people as one man, and the nations who have heard Your fame have spoken, saying,
Yoo ati saba kana yeruma tokkotti barbadeessite, saboonni oduu waaʼee keetii dhagaʼan,
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.
‘Waaqayyo biyya kakuudhaan waadaa isaaniif gale sanatti saba kana galchuu hin dandeenye; inni kanumaaf gammoojjii keessatti isaan gogorraʼe’ jedhu.
17 And now, please let the power of my Lord be great, as You have spoken, saying,
“Egaa akkuma ati akkana jettee dubbatte sanatti jabinni Gooftaa haa argisiifamu:
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]—
‘Waaqayyo dafee hin aaru; jaalalli isaa immoo guddaa dha; inni cubbuu fi fincila namaaf dhiisa. Taʼu illee inni nama yakka hojjetu adabu malee hin dhiisu; inni hamma dhaloota sadaffaa fi afuraffaatti sababii cubbuu abbootii isaaniitiif jedhee ijoollee ni adaba.’
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.”
Akkuma yeroo isaan biyya Gibxii baʼanii jalqabdee hamma ammaatti dhiifama isaaniif goote sana akkuma jaalala kee guddaa sanaatti cubbuu saba kanaa dhiisiif.”
20 And YHWH says, “I have forgiven according to your word,
Waaqayyo akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Ani akkuma ati kadhatte sana isaaniif dhiiseera.
21 but nevertheless, as I live, indeed, the whole earth is filled [with] the glory of YHWH,
Taʼu illee akkuma ani dhugumaan jiraataa taʼee fi akkuma ulfinni Waaqayyoo dhugumaan lafa hunda guute sana,
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—
namoota ulfina koo arganii, mallattoowwan ani biyya Gibxiitii fi gammoojjii keessatti hojjedhe arganii garuu naa ajajamuu didanii yeroo kudhan na qoran sana keessaa namni tokko iyyuu,
23 they do not see the land which I have sworn to their fathers, indeed, none of those despising Me see it;
tokkoon isaanii biyya ani kakuudhaan abbootii isaaniitiif waadaa gale sana hin argan. Namni na tuffate tokko biyya sana hin argu.
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.
Garbicha koo Kaaleb garuu sababii inni hafuura addaa qabuu fi sababii garaa guutuudhaan na duukaa buʼaa jiruuf, ani biyya inni dhaqe sanatti isa galcha; sanyiin isaas biyya sana ni dhaala.
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.”
Sababii Amaaleqoonnii fi Kanaʼaanonni Sululoota keessa jiraataniif, isin bor deebiʼaatii karaa Galaana Diimaatiin gammoojjiitti qajeelaa.”
26 And YHWH speaks to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Waaqayyo Musee fi Arooniin akkana jedhe:
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;
“Waldaan hamaan kun hamma yoomiitti natti guunguma? Ani guungummii Israaʼeloota guungumtoota sanaa dhagaʼeera.
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?
Akkana jedhii isaanitti himi; ‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha; ani jiraataadhaatii, akkuma isin gurra kootti dubbattan sana anis isinitti godha:
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;
Reeffi keessan jechuunis reeffi warra umuriin isaanii waggaa digdamaa fi digdamaa olii kanneen lakkoobsa uummataa keessatti lakkaaʼamanii natti guunguman hundaa gammoojjii kana keessatti harcaʼee hafa.
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.
Kaaleb ilma Yefuneetii fi Iyyaasuu ilma Nuuni malee tokkoon keessan iyyuu biyya ani keessa isin qubachiisuuf kakadhe sanatti hin galtan.
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;
Ani garuu ijoollee keessan warra isin ni boojiʼamu jettan sana itti nan galcha; isaanis biyya isin tuffattan sana ni beeku.
32 as for you—your carcasses fall in this wilderness,
Isin garuu, reeffi keessan gammoojjuma kana keessatti harcaʼa.
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;
Ijoolleen keessan waggaa afurtama gammoojjii kana keessa ni jooru; hamma isin hundi gammoojjii keessatti dhumtanitti isaan sababii amanamummaa dhabuu keessaniitiif achitti rakkatu.
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;
Isin akkuma bultii afurtama biyya sana basaastan, akkasuma bultiin tokko akka waggaa tokkootti lakkaaʼamee waggaa afurtama cubbuu keessaniif dhiphattu; yeroo sana isin akka ani isiniin mormu ni beektu.’
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.”
Ani Waaqayyo waan kana dubbadheen jira; ani dhugumaan waan kana waldaa hamaa naan mormuuf walitti gurmaaʼe kana guutuutti nan fida. Isaan gammoojjii kana keessatti dhumu; asumattis ni duʼu.”
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,
Namoonni Museen akka isaan biyyattii basaasaniif erge yommuu achii deebiʼanitti waaʼee biyya sanaa gabaasa hamaa waldaatti gabaasanii akka waldaan Museetti guungumu godhan jechuunis
37 even the men bringing out an evil account of the land, they die by the plague before YHWH;
namoonni waaʼee biyyattii gabaasa hamaa gabaasuutti gaafataman sun dhaʼichaan fuula Waaqayyoo duratti dhuman.
38 and Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh have lived, of those men who go to spy out the land.
Namoota biyyattii basaasuu dhaqan keessaa Iyyaasuu ilma Nuunitii fi Kaaleb ilma Yefunee qofatu duʼa oole.
39 And Moses speaks these words to all the sons of Israel, and the people mourn exceedingly,
Museen waan kana hunda Israaʼelootatti himnaan isaan akka malee booʼan.
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.”
Isaanis guyyaa itti aanu ganamaan fiixee biyya gaaraatti ol baʼanii, “Nu cubbuu hojjenneerra; nu amma gara lafa Waaqayyo waadaa nuu gale sanaa dhaqna” jedhan.
41 And Moses says, “Why [is] this [that] you are transgressing the command of YHWH? For it does not prosper;
Museen garuu akkana jedhe; “Isin maaliif ajaja Waaqayyoo cabsitu? Wanni kun isiniif hin milkaaʼu!
42 do not go up, for YHWH is not in your midst, and you are not struck before your enemies;
Akka diinota keessaniin hin moʼatamneef ol hin baʼinaa; Waaqayyo isin wajjin hin jiruutii;
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.”
Amaaleqoonnii fi Kanaʼaanonni achitti isinitti dhufuutii. Sababii isin Waaqayyo irraa garagaltaniif inni isin wajjin hin jiraatu; goraadeedhaan barbadeeffamtu.”
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.
Isaan garuu utuu Musee fi taabonni kakuu Waaqayyoo qubata keessaa gad hin baʼin yaaduma isaaniitiin kaʼanii fiixee biyya gaaraatti ol baʼan.
45 And the Amalekite and the Canaanite who are dwelling in that mountain come down and strike them, and beat them down to Hormah.
Yommus Amaaleqoonnii fi Kanaʼaanonni gaara sana irra jiraatan gad buʼanii isaan dhaʼanii hamma Hormaatti isaan ariʼan.
