Numbers 14
1 And it lifted up all the congregation and they gave forth voice their and they wept the people in the night that.
Usiku ule watu wote wa jumuiya walipaza sauti zao na kulia kwa sauti kuu.
2 And they grumbled on Moses and on Aaron all [the] people of Israel and they said to them all the congregation if we had died in [the] land of Egypt or in the wilderness this if we had died.
Waisraeli wote wakanungʼunika dhidi ya Mose na Aroni, nalo kusanyiko lote wakawaambia, “Laiti tungekuwa tumefia humo nchi ya Misri! Au humu kwenye hili jangwa!
3 And why? [is] Yahweh bringing us into the land this to fall by the sword wives our and little one[s] our they will become plunder ¿ not good for us [is] to return Egypt towards.
Kwa nini Bwana anatuleta katika nchi hii ili tufe kwa upanga? Wake zetu na watoto wetu watachukuliwa kama nyara. Je, isingekuwa bora kwetu kurudi Misri?”
4 And they said each to brother his let us appoint a leader and let us return Egypt towards.
Wakasemezana wao kwa wao, “Inatupasa kumchagua kiongozi na kurudi Misri.”
5 And he fell Moses and Aaron on faces their before all [the] assembly of [the] congregation of [the] people of Israel.
Ndipo Mose na Aroni wakaanguka kifudifudi mbele ya kusanyiko lote la Kiisraeli lililokusanyika hapo.
6 And Joshua [the] son of Nun and Caleb [the] son of Jephunneh one of those [who] spied out the land they tore clothes their.
Yoshua mwana wa Nuni na Kalebu mwana wa Yefune, waliokuwa miongoni mwa watu wale waliokwenda kuipeleleza nchi, wakararua nguo zao,
7 And they said to all [the] congregation of [the] people of Israel saying the land which we passed in it to spy out it [is] good the land very very.
wakasema na kusanyiko lote la Kiisraeli, wakawaambia, “Nchi tuliyopita katikati yake na kuipeleleza ni nzuri sana sana.
8 If he delights in us Yahweh and he will bring us into the land this and he will give it to us a land which it [is] flowing of milk and honey.
Ikiwa Bwana anapendezwa nasi, atatuongoza kuingia katika nchi ile, nchi itiririkayo maziwa na asali, naye atatupa nchi hiyo.
9 Only against Yahweh may not you rebel and you may not you fear [the] people of the land for [will be] bread our they it has departed shade their from over them and Yahweh [is] with us may not you fear them.
Ila tu msimwasi Bwana. Wala msiwaogope watu wa nchi hiyo, kwa sababu tutawameza. Ulinzi wao umeondoka, lakini Bwana yupo pamoja nasi. Msiwaogope.”
10 And they said all the congregation to stone them with stones and [the] glory of Yahweh it appeared at [the] tent of meeting to all [the] people of Israel.
Lakini kusanyiko lote likazungumza juu ya kuwapiga kwa mawe. Ndipo utukufu wa Bwana ukaonekana katika Hema la Kukutania kwa Waisraeli wote.
11 And he said Yahweh to Moses until when? will they spurn me the people this and until when? not will they believe in me with all the signs which I did in midst its.
Bwana akamwambia Mose, “Watu hawa watanidharau mpaka lini? Wataendelea kukataa kuniamini mimi mpaka lini, ingawa nimetenda ishara za miujiza miongoni mwao?
12 I will strike it with pestilence and I will dispossess it and I may make you a nation great and mighty more than it.
Nitawapiga kwa tauni na kuwaangamiza, lakini nitakufanya wewe kuwa taifa kubwa lenye nguvu kuliko wao.”
13 And he said Moses to Yahweh and they will hear Egypt that you brought up by strength your the people this from midst its.
Mose akamwambia Bwana, “Ndipo Wamisri watasikia juu ya jambo hili! Kwa uweza wako uliwapandisha watu hawa kutoka miongoni mwao.
14 And they will say to [the] inhabitant[s] of the land this they have heard that you O Yahweh [are] in [the] midst of the people this who eye in eye he was seen - you O Yahweh and cloud your [is] standing over them and in a pillar of cloud you [are] going before them by day and in a pillar of fire night.
Nao watawaambia wenyeji wa nchi hii jambo hili. Wao tayari wameshasikia kwamba wewe, Ee Bwana, upo pamoja na watu hawa, na kuwa wewe, Ee Bwana, umeonekana uso kwa uso, nalo wingu lako hukaa juu yao. Tena wewe unawatangulia kwa nguzo ya wingu mchana na kwa nguzo ya moto usiku.
15 And you will put to death the people this like a person one and they will say the nations which they have heard report your saying.
Ikiwa utawaua watu hawa wote mara moja, mataifa ambayo yamesikia taarifa hii kukuhusu wewe watasema,
16 Because not was able Yahweh to bring the people this into the land which he swore to them and he has slaughtered them in the wilderness.
‘Bwana alishindwa kuwaingiza watu hawa katika nchi aliyowaahidi kwa kiapo; hivyo akawaua jangwani.’
17 And therefore may it be great please [the] power of [the] Lord just as you have spoken saying.
“Basi sasa nguvu za Bwana na zionekane, sawasawa na vile ulivyosema:
18 Yahweh [is] long of anger and great of covenant loyalty forgiving iniquity and transgression and certainly not he will leave unpunished visiting [the] iniquity of parents on [the] children on a third generation and on a fourth generation.
‘Bwana si mwepesi wa hasira, ni mwingi wa upendo na mwenye kusamehe dhambi na uasi. Lakini haachi kumwadhibu mwenye hatia, huadhibu watoto kwa ajili ya dhambi ya baba zao hata kizazi cha tatu na cha nne.’
19 Forgive please [the] iniquity of the people this according to [the] greatness of covenant loyalty your and just as you have forgiven the people this from Egypt and until now.
Kwa kadiri ya upendo wako mkuu, usamehe dhambi ya watu hawa, kama vile ulivyowasamehe tangu wakati walitoka Misri mpaka sasa.”
20 And he said Yahweh I have forgiven [them] according to word your.
Bwana akajibu, “Nimewasamehe kama ulivyoomba.
21 And but [by] [the] life of me so may be filled [with the] glory of Yahweh all the earth.
Hata hivyo, kwa hakika kama niishivyo, na kwa hakika kama utukufu wa Bwana uijazavyo dunia yote,
22 For all the men who saw glory my and signs my which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness and they have put to [the] test me this ten times and not they have listened to voice my.
hakuna hata mmoja wa watu hawa ambao waliuona utukufu wangu na ishara za miujiza niliyotenda huko Misri na huko jangwani, lakini ambaye hakunitii na akanijaribu mara hizi kumi,
23 If they will see the land which I swore to ancestors their and all [those who] have spurned me not they will see it.
hakuna hata mmoja wao atakayeona nchi niliyowaahidi baba zao kwa kiapo. Hakuna hata mmoja ambaye amenidharau atakayeiona.
24 And servant my Caleb consequence it has been a spirit another with him and he has filled after me and I will bring him into the land where he went there and offspring his it will take possession of it.
Lakini kwa sababu mtumishi wangu Kalebu ana roho ya tofauti na ananifuata kwa moyo wote, nitamwingiza katika nchi aliyoiendea, nao wazao wake watairithi.
25 And the Amalekite[s] and the Canaanite[s] [was] dwelling in the valley[s] tomorrow turn and set out for yourselves the wilderness [the] way of [the] sea of reed[s].
Kwa kuwa Waamaleki na Wakanaani wanaishi katika mabonde, kesho geukeni mwelekee jangwani kwa kufuata njia iendayo Bahari ya Shamu.”
26 And he spoke Yahweh to Moses and to Aaron saying.
Bwana akamwambia Mose na Aroni:
27 Until when? to the congregation evil this which they [are] grumbling on me [the] grumblings of [the] people of Israel which they [are] grumbling on me I have heard.
“Jumuiya hii ovu itanungʼunika dhidi yangu hadi lini? Nimesikia malalamiko ya hawa Waisraeli wanaonungʼunika.
28 Say to them [by] [the] life of me [the] utterance of Yahweh if not just as you have spoken in ears my so I will do to you.
Hivyo waambie, ‘Hakika kama niishivyo, asema Bwana, nitawafanyia vitu vilevile nilivyosikia mkisema:
29 In the wilderness this they will fall corpses your and all enrolled [men] your of all number your from a son of twenty year[s] and up-wards who you have grumbled on me.
Kila mmoja wenu mwenye umri wa miaka ishirini au zaidi ambaye alihesabiwa na amenungʼunika dhidi yangu, miili yenu itaanguka katika jangwa hili.
30 If you you will go into the land which I lifted up hand my to cause to dwell you in it that except Caleb [the] son of Jephunneh and Joshua [the] son of Nun.
Hakuna hata mmoja wenu atakayeingia katika nchi niliyoapa kwa mkono ulioinuliwa kuwa makao yenu, isipokuwa Kalebu mwana wa Yefune, na Yoshua mwana wa Nuni.
31 And little one[s] your who you said plunder he will become and I will bring them and they will know the land which you have rejected it.
Lakini watoto wenu ambao mlisema watachukuliwa kama mateka, nitawaingiza humo ili waifurahie nchi ambayo ninyi mmeikataa.
32 And corpses your you they will fall in the wilderness this.
Lakini ninyi, miili yenu itaanguka katika jangwa hili.
33 And children your they will be shepherds in the wilderness forty year[s] and they will bear prostitution your until are finished corpses your in the wilderness.
Watoto wenu watakuwa wachungaji wa mifugo hapa kwa miaka arobaini, wakiteseka kwa ajili ya kukosa uaminifu kwenu, hadi mwili wa mtu wenu wa mwisho ulale katika jangwa hili.
34 By [the] number of the days which you spied out the land forty day[s] a day for the year a day for the year you will bear iniquities your forty year[s] and you will know opposition my.
Kwa miaka arobaini, mwaka mmoja kwa kila siku katika zile siku arobaini mlizoipeleleza nchi, mtateseka kwa ajili ya dhambi zenu, na kujua jinsi ilivyo vibaya kunifanya mimi kuwa adui yenu.’
35 I Yahweh I have spoken if not - this I will do to all the congregation evil this which has gathered on me in the wilderness this they will meet their end and there they will die.
Mimi Bwana nimesema, na hakika nitafanya mambo haya kwa jumuiya hii yote ovu, ambayo imefungamana pamoja dhidi yangu. Watakutana na mwisho wao katika jangwa hili; hapa ndipo watafia.”
36 And the men whom he sent Moses to spy out the land and they returned (and they caused to grumble *Q(K)*) on him all the congregation by bringing out a bad report on the land.
Hivyo watu wale ambao Mose alikuwa amewatuma kuipeleleza nchi, waliorudi na kuifanya jumuiya nzima kunungʼunika dhidi ya Mose kwa kueneza taarifa mbaya kuhusu hiyo nchi:
37 And they died the men [who] brought out [the] unfavorable report of the land evil by plague before Yahweh.
watu hawa waliohusika kueneza taarifa mbaya kuhusu hiyo nchi walipigwa na kuanguka kwa tauni mbele za Bwana.
38 And Joshua [the] son of Nun and Caleb [the] son of Jephunneh they lived of the men those who went to spy out the land.
Miongoni mwa watu waliokwenda kuipeleleza hiyo nchi, ni Yoshua mwana wa Nuni, na Kalebu mwana wa Yefune peke yao waliosalia.
39 And he spoke Moses the words these to all [the] people of Israel and they mourned the people exceedingly.
Mose alipotoa taarifa hii kwa Waisraeli wote, waliomboleza kwa uchungu.
40 And they rose early in the morning and they went up to [the] top of the hill country saying here [are] we and we will go up to the place which he said Yahweh that we have sinned.
Mapema asubuhi siku iliyofuata walipanda juu kuelekea kwenye nchi ya vilima virefu, wakasema, “Tumetenda dhambi. Tutakwea mpaka mahali Bwana alipotuahidi.”
41 And he said Moses why? this [are] you transgressing [the] mouth of Yahweh and it not it will succeed.
Lakini Mose akasema, “Kwa nini hamtii amri ya Bwana? Jambo hili halitafanikiwa!
42 May not you go up for not Yahweh [will be] in midst your and not you will be defeated before enemies your.
Msipande juu, kwa kuwa Bwana hayupo pamoja nanyi. Mtashindwa na adui zenu,
43 For the Amalekite[s] and the Canaanite[s] [are] there before you and you will fall by the sword for since you have turned back from after Yahweh and not he will be Yahweh with you.
kwa kuwa Waamaleki na Wakanaani watapambana nanyi huko. Kwa sababu mmemwacha Bwana, hatakuwa pamoja nanyi, ninyi mtaanguka kwa upanga.”
44 And they presumed to go up to [the] top of the hill country and [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh and Moses not they departed from [the] midst of the camp.
Hata hivyo, kwa kiburi chao walipanda juu kuelekea nchi ya vilima virefu, ijapokuwa Mose hakutoka kambini wala Sanduku la Agano la Bwana.
45 And he came down the Amalekite[s] and the Canaanite[s] who dwelt in the hill country that and they struck them and they scattered them to Hormah.
Ndipo Waamaleki na Wakanaani walioishi katika hiyo nchi ya vilima wakateremka na kuwashambulia, wakawapiga njia yote hadi Horma.
