Numbers 14
1 Then did all the assembly lift up, and give forth their voice, —and the people wept throughout that night.
Ũtukũ ũcio andũ othe a kĩrĩndĩ gĩa Isiraeli makĩrĩra maanĩrĩire na mũgambo mũnene.
2 And all the sons of Israel, murmured against Moses and against Aaron, —and all the assembly said unto them—Oh that we had died in the land of Egypt, Or in this wilderness, oh that we had died!
Andũ acio othe a Isiraeli makĩnuguna nĩ ũndũ wa Musa na Harũni, na kĩũngano kĩu gĩothe gĩkĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Naarĩ korwo twakuĩrĩire Misiri! Kana werũ-inĩ ũyũ!
3 Wherefore then is Yahweh bringing us into this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and little ones, will become a prey! Would it not be well for us to go back towards Egypt?
Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma Jehova atũrehe bũrũri ũyũ atũrekererie tũũragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora? Atumia aitũ na ciana ciitũ megũtuĩka a gũtahwo. Githĩ wega ti tũcooke bũrũri wa Misiri?”
4 And they said, one to another, —Let us appoint a head and let us go back towards Egypt.
Nao makĩĩrana mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ atĩrĩ, “Twagĩrĩirwo nĩ tũthuure mũtongoria tũcooke bũrũri wa Misiri.”
5 Then did Moses and Aaron fall upon their faces, —before all the convocation of the assembly of the sons of Israel.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Musa na Harũni makĩĩgũithia maturumithĩtie mothiũ mao thĩ mbere ya kĩũngano kĩu gĩothe kĩa andũ a Isiraeli kĩrĩa kĩagomanĩte hau.
6 But, Joshua son of Nun, and Caleb son of Jephunneh, of them who spied out the land, rent their clothes;
Joshua mũrũ wa Nuni na Kalebu mũrũ wa Jefune, arĩa maarĩ hamwe na arĩa maathiĩte gũthigaana bũrũri ũcio magĩtembũranga nguo ciao.
7 and spake unto all the assembly of the sons of Israel, saying, —As for the land through which we passed to spy it out, Good, is the land, exceedingly,
Makĩĩra kĩũngano kĩu gĩothe kĩa andũ a Isiraeli atĩrĩ, “Bũrũri ũrĩa twatuĩkanĩirie na tũkĩũthigana, nĩ bũrũri mwega mũno makĩria.
8 If Yahweh delight in us, then will he bring us into this land, and give it unto us, —A land which doth flow with milk and honey.
Jehova angĩkorwo nĩakenetio nĩ ithuĩ, nĩegũtũtongoria tũtoonye bũrũri ũcio, bũrũri ũcio ũiyũrĩte bũthi wa iria na ũũkĩ, na nĩegũtũhe guo ũtuĩke witũ.
9 Only against Yahweh, do not rebel. Do not, ye, fear the people of the land, For our food, they are, —Their shade hath departed, from over them. And Yahweh is with us, Do not fear them!
No rĩrĩ, mũtikaremere Jehova. Na mũtigetigĩre andũ a bũrũri ũcio, nĩ ũndũ tũkũmameria biũ. Ũgitĩri wao nĩ mweherie, no Jehova arĩ hamwe na ithuĩ. Mũtikametigĩre.”
10 But when all the assembly bade stone them with stones, the glory of Yahweh, appeared, in the tent of meeting, unto all the sons of Israel.
No kĩũngano kĩu gĩothe gĩkĩaria ũhoro wa kũmahũũra na mahiga nyuguto. Hĩndĩ ĩyo riiri wa Jehova ũkiumĩrĩra andũ othe a Isiraeli hau Hema-inĩ ya Gũtũnganwo.
11 Then said Yahweh unto Moses How long! must this people, despise me? And how long can they not believe in me. in view of all the signs which I have done in their midst?
Nake Jehova akĩũria Musa atĩrĩ, “Andũ aya megũtũũra maanyararĩte nginya-rĩ? Megũtũũra maregete kũnjĩtĩkia nginya-rĩ, o na ningĩte ciama nyingĩ ũguo gatagatĩ kao?
12 Let me smite them with pestilence, and disinherit them, —And make thee into a nation greater and more mighty than they!
Nĩngũmahũũra na mũthiro ndĩmaniine, no wee ngũgũtua rũrĩrĩ rũnene na rũrĩ na hinya kũmakĩra.”
13 Then said Moses unto Yahweh, —So shall the Egyptians hear, For thou hast brought up. in thy might, this people out of their midst;
Musa akĩĩra Jehova atĩrĩ, “Andũ a Misiri nĩmakaigua ũhoro ũcio! Nĩwe warutire andũ aya makiuma gatagatĩ kao na ũndũ wa ũhoti waku.
14 And will tell it unto the inhabitants of this land: They have heard, That, thou, Yahweh, art in the midst of this people, —That eye to eye, is he seen—thou, Yahweh, And thy cloud, is standing over them, And in a pillar of cloud, thou thyself, art going on before them by day, And in a pillar of fire, by night.
Nao nĩmakeera aikari a bũrũri ũyũ ũhoro ũcio. Nĩmaiguĩte atĩ Wee, O Wee Jehova-rĩ, ũkoragwo na andũ aya, na atĩ Wee Jehova, wanonwo ũthiũ kwa ũthiũ, na atĩ itu rĩaku rĩikaraga igũrũ rĩao, o na atĩ Wee ũthiiaga mbere yao thĩinĩ wa gĩtugĩ kĩa itu mũthenya na ũrĩ thĩinĩ wa gĩtugĩ kĩa mwaki ũtukũ.
15 As soon, therefore, as thou hast put to death this people as one man, so soon will the nations who have heard thy fame speak saying:
Ũngĩũraga andũ aya othe o ro rĩmwe-rĩ, ndũrĩrĩ iria ciiguĩte ũhoro ũyũ waku nĩikoiga atĩrĩ,
16 Because Yahweh, was not able, to bring in this people into the land which he had sworn unto them, therefore did he slay them in the desert.
‘Jehova nĩaremirwo nĩgũkinyia andũ aya bũrũri ũrĩa aamerĩire na mwĩhĩtwa; nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩmooragĩra werũ-inĩ.’
17 Now, therefore, I beseech thee let the might of My Lord, be magnified, —according as thou didst speak saying:
“Na rĩrĩ, hinya wa Mwathani ũrokĩonekana o ta ũrĩa ugĩte, atĩrĩ:
18 Yahweh—slow to anger and great in lovingkindness, Forgiving iniquity and transgression: Though he will not leave, wholly unpunished, Visiting the iniquity of fathers upon sons, Upon a third generation, and upon a fourth.
‘Jehova ndahiũhaga kũrakara, aiyũrĩtwo nĩ wendo, na nĩohanagĩra mehia na ũremi. No ndaagaga kũherithia mũndũ ũrĩa wĩhĩtie; nĩaherithagia ciana nĩ ũndũ wa mehia ma maithe nginya rũciaro rwa gatatũ na rwa kana.’
19 Pardon I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people, According to the greatness of thy lovingkindness, —And according as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even thus far.
Kũringana na wendo waku mũnene-rĩ, ohera andũ aya mehia mao, o ta ũrĩa wanamarekera kuuma hĩndĩ ĩrĩa moimire bũrũri wa Misiri nginya rĩu.”
20 And Yahweh said, I have pardoned according to thy word;
Jehova akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ndamarekera o ta ũguo woria.
21 Nevertheless as I live, —and that all the earth may be filled with the glory of Yahweh,
No rĩrĩ, ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa niĩ ndũũraga muoyo, na ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa riiri wa Jehova ũiyũrĩte thĩ yothe-rĩ,
22 Verily, none of the men who have been beholding my glory and my signs, which I have done in Egypt and in the desert, —and have put me to the proof these ten times, and have not hearkened unto my voice,
gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wa andũ arĩa moonire riiri wakwa na ciama iria ndaringĩire kũu bũrũri wa Misiri o na gũkũ werũ-inĩ, no makĩĩnemera na makĩĩngeria maita ikũmi-rĩ,
23 shall see the land, which I sware to their fathers, —yea, none of my despisers, shall see it.
gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wa acio ũkoona bũrũri ũcio nderĩire maithe mao ma tene na mwĩhĩtwa. Gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wao wa arĩa maanyararĩte ũkaawona.
24 But my servant Caleb—because there was another spirit with him, and he followed me fully, therefore will I bring him into the land whereinto he entered, and his seed, shall possess it.
No tondũ ndungata yakwa Kalebu arĩ na roho wa mũthemba ũngĩ na nĩanũmagĩrĩra na ngoro yake yothe, nĩngamũtwara bũrũri ũcio aathiĩte, nacio njiaro ciake nĩikaũgaya.
25 Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites, are dwelling in the valley, —to-morrow, turn ye away; and set yourselves forward towards the desert by the way of the Red Sea.
Na tondũ andũ a Amaleki na a Kaanani matũũraga cianda-inĩ-rĩ, rokai kũgarũrũka mumagare mũrorete na werũ-inĩ, mũthiĩ na njĩra ya Iria Itune.”
26 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying:
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa na Harũni atĩrĩ:
27 How long, as regardeth this evil assembly, are they to be murmuring against me? The murmuring of the sons of Israel which, they, have been murmuring against me, have I heard,
“Nĩ nginya hĩndĩ ĩrĩkũ kĩrĩndĩ gĩkĩ kĩaganu gĩgũtũũra kĩĩnugunagĩra? Nĩnjiguĩte mateta ma anugunĩki aya a Isiraeli.
28 Say unto them: As I live, is the oracle of Yahweh: Surely as ye have spoken in mine ears, so, will I do unto you: —
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio meere atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa niĩ ndũũraga muoyo-rĩ, nĩ ngũmwĩka o maũndũ macio njiguĩte mũkĩaria.
29 In this desert, shall your dead bodies fall And none of you who were numbered in all your counting, from twenty years old and upwards, —who have murmured against me,
Ciimba cianyu ikaagũa werũ-inĩ ũyũ, inyuĩ arĩa othe mũrĩ na ũkũrũ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na makĩria arĩa mwatarirwo hĩndĩ ya itarana na arĩa manugunĩte nĩ ũndũ wakwa.
30 none of you, shall enter into the land, as to which I uplifted my hand to give you an abode therein, —save Caleb son of Jephunneh, and Joshua, son of Nun:
Gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wanyu ũgatoonya bũrũri ũcio ndehĩtire nyambararĩtie guoko atĩ nĩũgatuĩka wanyu, tiga o Kalebu mũrũ wa Jefune, na Joshua mũrũ wa Nuni.
31 whereas, your little ones, of whom ye said, they should become, a prey, I will bring them in, and they shall acknowledge the land which ye refused.
No ha ũhoro wa ciana cianyu iria mwoigire atĩ nĩ igaatahwo-rĩ, nĩngamakinyia kuo makenagĩre bũrũri ũcio mũregete.
32 But, your own dead bodies, shall fall in this desert;
No inyuĩ-rĩ, ciimba cianyu ikaagũa werũ-inĩ ũyũ.
33 and your sons, shall be shepherds in the desert forty years, and shall bear your unchastities, —until your dead bodies are consumed in the desert.
Ciana cianyu igũtuĩka arĩithi gũkũ werũ-inĩ mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna, igĩthĩnĩkaga nĩ ũndũ wa kwaga kwĩhokeka kwanyu, nginya rĩrĩa kĩimba kĩanyu kĩa mũthia gĩkaagũa werũ-inĩ.
34 By the number of the days wherein ye spied out the land—forty days, each day for a year, shall they bear your iniquities—forty years, —so shall ye know my opposition.
Mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna, o mwaka ũmwe ũrũgamĩrĩire mũthenya ũmwe wa mĩthenya mĩrongo ĩna ĩrĩa mwathigaanire bũrũri ũcio, mĩaka ĩyo nĩyo mũgaathĩnĩka nĩ ũndũ wa mehia manyu, na mũmenye ũũru wa gũũkĩrĩrwo nĩ niĩ.’
35 I—Yahweh, have spoken, Verily this, will I do to all this evil assembly, who have conspired against me, —In this desert, shall they be consumed And there, shall they die.
Niĩ Jehova nĩ niĩ njarĩtie, na ti-itherũ nĩngeeka maũndũ macio kũrĩ kĩrĩndĩ gĩkĩ gĩothe kĩaganu, kĩrĩa gĩĩcookanĩrĩirie hamwe kĩnjũkĩrĩre. Gĩgaathirĩra werũ-inĩ ũyũ; gũkũ nĩkuo gĩgaakuĩra.”
36 Now as for the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land, —who returned and caused all the assembly to murmur against him by giving out a rumour against the land,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, andũ arĩa Musa aatũmĩte magathigaane bũrũri ũcio wa Kaanani, o acio macookire na magĩtũma kĩrĩndĩ gĩothe kĩnugunĩre Musa nĩkũmemerekia ũhoro mũũru wa bũrũri ũcio,
37 they died—the men who gave out an evil rumour of the land, —by the plague, before Yahweh.
andũ acio mamemerekirie ũhoro ũcio mũũru wa bũrũri ũcio makĩhũũrwo na mũthiro, magĩkuĩra hau mbere ya Jehova.
38 But, Joshua son of Nun, and Caleb son of Jephunneh! remained alive—of those men who went to spy out the land.
Harĩ andũ arĩa maathiĩte gũthigaana bũrũri ũcio, no Joshua mũrũ wa Nuni, na Kalebu mũrũ wa Jefune maatigarire.
39 And Moses spake these words unto all the sons of Israel, and the people were greatly depressed.
Rĩrĩa Musa aaheire andũ othe a Isiraeli ũhoro ũcio, makĩgirĩka mũno.
40 So they arose early in the morning, and went up into the top of the mountain, saying, —We are here—therefore will we go up into the place as to which Yahweh hath said that we have sinned.
Mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ rũciinĩ tene makĩambata marorete bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma. Makiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩtwĩhĩtie, nĩtũkwambata tũthiĩ nginya kũrĩa Jehova aatwĩrĩire.”
41 But Moses said, Wherefore is it that, ye, are going beyond the bidding of Yahweh, —since that cannot prosper?
No Musa akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mũraremera watho wa Jehova nĩkĩ? Ũndũ ũyũ ndũngĩgaacĩra!
42 Do not go up, For Yahweh is not in your midst, —Lest ye be smitten down before your enemies.
Mũtikambate tondũ Jehova ndarĩ hamwe na inyuĩ. Nĩmũkũhootwo nĩ thũ cianyu,
43 For, the Amalekites and the Canaanites, are there before you, So shall ye fall by the sword, —For inasmuch as ye have turned back from following Yahweh, Therefore will Yahweh not be with you.
nĩgũkorwo andũ a Amaleki na Akaanani nĩmakarũa na inyuĩ kũu. Nĩ ũndũ nĩ mũhutatĩire Jehova, nake ndegũkorwo hamwe na inyuĩ, na nĩmũkũũragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora.”
44 But they presumptuously ascended into the top of the mountain, —though, neither, the ark of the covenant of Yahweh nor Moses moved out of the midst of the camp.
No rĩrĩ, nĩ ũndũ wa mwĩĩro wao, makĩambata marorete bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma o na gũkorwo Musa ndoimire kambĩ o na kana ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova rĩkiuma kambĩ.
45 So ten the Amalekites and the Canaanites, that dwelt in that mountain, came down, —and smote them and routed them even unto Hormah.
No rĩrĩ, andũ a Amaleki na Akaanani arĩa maatũũraga bũrũri ũcio ũrĩ irĩma, magĩikũrũka, makĩmatharĩkĩra, na makĩmahũũra mamaikũrũkĩtie o nginya Horoma.
