< Numbers 14 >
1 That night, all the Israeli people cried loudly.
Aa le nañonjom-peo am-pangolalaihañe i valobohòkey, naho nangololoike ty rovetse amy haleñey ondatio,
2 The next day they all complained to Aaron and Moses/me. All the men said, “We wish that we had died in Egypt, or in this desert!
vaho nitoreo amy Mosè naho amy Aharone o ana’ Israele iabio; le nanoe’ i valobohòkey ty hoe, Ee t’ie nivetrak’ an-tane Mitsraime ao! Ndra kitra’e nikoromak’ am-patrambey atoa!
3 Why is Yahweh bringing us to this land, where we men will be killed with swords? And our wives and children will be taken away [to be slaves]. [Instead of going to Canaan]. It would be better for us to return to Egypt!”
Ino ty nandesa’ Iehovà mb’an-tane atoy ho tsingoritrìem-pibara reke-keleiañe ho tsindroke; tsy hàmake t’ie himpoly mb’e Mitsraime mb’eo?
4 Then [some of] them said to each other, “We should choose a leader who will take us back to Egypt!”
Aa le hoe ty fivesoveso’ iareo, Antao hijoboñe mpiaolo vaho himpoly mb’e Mitsraime añe.
5 Then Aaron and Moses/I bowed down [to pray] in front of all the Israeli people who had gathered there.
Nibabok’ an-daharañe añatrefa’ i fivorim-balobohò’ o ana’ Israeleoy amy zao t’i Mosè naho i Aharone.
6 Joshua and Caleb, two of the men who had explored the land, tore their clothes [because they were very dismayed].
le nandriatse sarimbo t’Iehosoa ana’ i None naho i Kalebe ana’ Iefonè, i nimpiamo nitingañe i taneio rey;
7 They said to the Israeli people, “The land that we explored is very good.
le hoe ty enta’ iareo amy valobohò’ Israeley, I tane nirangà’ay mpitingañeo le tane loho fanjaka.
8 If Yahweh is pleased with us, he will lead us into that very fertile [IDM] land, and he will give it to us.
Aa naho noro’ Iehovà tika, le ie ty hanese naho hanolotse antika i taney, toe tane orikorihen-dronono naho tantele.
9 So do not rebel against Yahweh! And do not be afraid of the people in that land! We will (gobble them up/completely destroy them) [MET]! They do not have anyone who will protect them, but Yahweh will be with us [and help us]. So do not be afraid of them!”
Aa ko miola am’ Iehovà, ko mirevendreveñe am’ondati’ i taneio, ie fitsindrohan-tika; toe nisitak’ am’ iereo ty fañarova’e vaho amantika t’Iehovà. Ko ihembañañe.
10 Then all the Israeli people talked about [killing Caleb and Joshua by] throwing stones at them. But [suddenly] Yahweh’s glory appeared to them at the Sacred Tent.
Fe vinola’ i fivoribey iabiy t’ie haretsam-bato, vaho niboak’ amo ana’ Israele iabio, an-kibohom-pamantañañe ey, ty enge’ Iehovà.
11 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “How long will these people reject me [RHQ]? I am tired of them not believing in what I [can do], in spite of all the miracles I have performed among them [RHQ]!
Le hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè, Pak’ ombia ty mbe hañinjea’ ondaty retiañe ahy? Ampara’ ombia t’ie mbe tsy hahafiato amako ty amo hene viloñe nanoeko añivo’ iereoo.
12 So I will cause a (plague/widespread sickness) to strike them and get rid of them. But I will cause your [descendants] to become a great nation. They will be a nation that is much greater and stronger than these people are.”
Ho paoheko angorosy naho harotsako, vaho ihe ty hanoeko foko ra’elahy mandikoatse naho maozatse te ama’e.
13 But Moses/I replied to Yahweh, “[Please do not do that, because] the people of Egypt will hear about it! You brought these Israeli people from Egypt by your great power,
Aa hoe t’i Mosè am’ Iehovà, Le ho tsanòñe’ o nte-Mitsraimeo, te i haozara’oy ty nañavota’o ondaty retiañe boak’ añivo’ iareo ao,
14 and the people of Egypt will tell that to the [descendants of Canaan] who live in this land. Yahweh, they have already heard about you. They know that you have (been with/helped) these people and that they have seen you face-to-face. They have heard that your cloud is like a huge pillar that stays over them, and by using that cloud you lead them during the day, and the cloud becomes like a fire at night [to give them light].
le hatao’ iareo amo mpimone’ ty tane toio, te tsinano’ iereo te ihe ry Iehovà ro añivo’ ondaty retoañe, amy te Ihe ry Iehovà ro ifañatrefan-daharañe naho mitroatse ambone’ iereo i raho’oy, vaho ihe ro Fiaolo’ iareo amy rahoñe mijoalay te handro naho añ’afo mitiotiotse te haleñe.
15 If you kill these people all at one time, the people-groups who have heard about your [power] will say,
Aa naho zamane’o hoe ondaty raike ondaty retiañe, le hanao ty hoe o tane iaby nahajanjiñe ty hara’elahi’oo,
16 ‘Yahweh was not able to bring them into the land that he promised to give to them, so he killed them in the desert.’
Kanao tsy nahafanese ondaty retiañe mb’an-tane nitolora’e am-panta mb’eo t’Iehovà, le nimongore’e an-dratraratra añe.
17 “So Yahweh, now show that you are very powerful. You said,
Aa le ihalaliako, ehe ho ra’elahy ty haozara’ i Talè amy nitsarae’o ty hoe,
18 ‘I do not quickly become angry; instead, I love people very much, and I forgive people for having sinned and having disobeyed my laws. But I will always punish [LIT] people who are guilty of doing what is wrong. When parents sin, I will punish them, but I will also punish their children and their grandchildren and their great-grandchildren and their great-great-grandchildren.’
Malaon-kaviñerañe t’Iehovà naho lifo-pikokoa-migahiñe, mpampipoke hila naho fiòla, fe tsy apo’e ty manao hakeo, fa afetsa’e amo anakeo o tahin-droae’eo ami’ty tariratse faha-telo naho fahefatse.
19 So, because you love people like that, forgive these people for the sins that they have committed, just like you have continued to forgive them ever since they left Egypt.”
Miambane ama’o, apoho ty hakeo’ ondaty retiañe amy hara’ elahin-kafatraram-pikokoa’oy, manahake ty nampidòna’o ty hakeo’ ondaty retiañe e Mitsraime añe pake henane.
20 Then Yahweh replied, “I have forgiven them, as you requested me to.
Aa le hoe t’Iehovà, Fa napoko ty amy enta’oy;
21 But, just as certainly as I live and that people all over the world [can see] my (glory/glorious power), [I solemnly declare this: ]
fe kanao velon-dRaho, ho lifore’ ty enge’ Iehovà ty tane toy,
22 All these people saw my glory and all the miracles that I performed in Egypt and in the desert, but they disobeyed me, and many times they tested [whether they could continue to do evil things without my punishing them].
le ze hene ondaty nahaisake o engekoo naho o viloñe nanoeko e Mitsraime naho am-patram-beio, ie fa nitso-pañahy ahiko fañimpolo’e henaneo, vaho tsy nañaoñe ty feoko,
23 Because of that, not one of them will see the land that I promised their ancestors [that I would give to them]. No one who rejected me will see that land.
toe tsy ho isa’ iareo i tane nifantàko aman-droae’ iareoy, toe tsy ho isa’ o nañinje Ahio,
24 But Caleb, who serves me [well], is different from the others. He obeys me completely. So I will bring him into that land that he has already seen, and his descendants will inherit/possess some of it.
naho tsy i Kalebe mpitorokoy amy te hafa ty arofo ama’e le niventè’e t’ie mpañorik’ ahiko, aa le hendeseko mb’ an-tane nañaveloa’e mb’eo vaho ho lovae’ o tarira’eo.
25 So, since the descendants of Amalek and Canaan who are living in the valleys [in Canaan are very strong], when you leave here tomorrow, [instead of traveling toward Canaan], go back along the road through the desert towards the Red Sea.”
Aa kanao mimoneñe am-bavatane ao o nte-Amalekeo naho o nte-Kanàneo, le mivioña nahareo te hamaray, vaho mionjona mb’ am-patrambey mb’amy lalañe migodañe mb’an-dRia-Binda mb’eoy.
26 Then Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me,
Le hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè naho amy Aharone:
27 “How long will the wicked people of this nation keep complaining about me [RHQ]? I have heard everything that they have grumbled/complained against me.
Pak’ombia ty hivaveako ty valobohòke lo-tsereke mañinje ahiko tia? Fa tsinanoko ty fiñeoñeo’ o ana’ Israeleo, ty fañinjea’ iareo ahiko.
28 So now tell them this: ‘Just as certainly as I, Yahweh, live, I will do exactly what you said would happen.
Saontsio am’ iereo, Kanao velon-dRaho, hoe t’Iehovà, le hanoeko ama’ areo i sinaontsi’ areo an-tsofikoy;
29 [I will cause] all of you to die here in this desert! Because you grumbled about me, none of you who are more than 20 years old and who were counted when Moses counted everyone
toe hipopok’ am-patram-bey atoa ty lolo’ areo, ze fonga nivolilieñe ama’ areo, ze hene niaheñe ama’ areo mifototse ami’ty roapolo taoñe mañambone amo nañinje Ahikoo.
30 will enter the land that I solemnly promised to give to you. Only Caleb and Joshua will enter that land.
Leo raike tsy himoak’ amy tane natoloko anahareo am-panta himoneña’ areoy, naho tsy i Kalebe ana’ Iefonè naho Iehosoa ana’ i None,
31 You said that your children would be taken from you [to become slaves], but I will take them into the land, and they will enjoy living in the land that you (rejected/said that you could not conquer).
le o amori’ areo kedekedeke natao’ areo ho tsindroheñeo; hendeseko ao iereo le ho fohi’ iareo i tane niheje’ areoy.
32 But as for you [adults], you will die here in this desert.
Inahareo ka, hifitak’ am-patrambey ao ty lolo’ areo,
33 And like shepherds [wander around in the desert as they take care of their sheep], your children will wander around in this desert for 40 years. Because you adults were not loyal/faithful to me, your children will suffer until you all die in the desert.
le hirererere am-patrambey ao efapolo taoñe o ana’ areoo, hivave ty hakarapiloa’ areo, ampara’ te vorok’ am-patrambey ao ty lolo’ areo.
34 You will suffer for your sins for 40 years. That will be one year for each of the 40 days that the twelve men explored Canaan land. And I will be like an enemy to you.’
Mira ami’ty ia’ o andro nitingane’ areo i taneio, i efa-polo andro rezay, te songa havale taoñe raike i andro rey, ho vave’ areo ty tahi’ areo, aa le efa-polo taoñe ty hahafohina’ areo ty habosehako.
35 [This will certainly happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it! I will do these things to every one in this group who conspired against me. They (conspired against/decided together to reject) me here in the desert, and they will all die right here in this desert!”
Izaho Iehovà ty nitaroñe. Tsy mete tsy henefeko ami’ty valobohòke lo-tsereke nihipoke hiatreatre amako tia, ie habotse’ ty fatram-bey toy naho toe hihomak’ ao.
36 Then the ten men [who had explored Canaan and] who had urged the people to rebel against Yahweh by giving reports that discouraged the people
Le ondaty nirahe’ i Mosè hitingañe i taneio, o nimpoly ninday saontsy nampitoreo i valobohòkey amy talily raty nendese’ iereo i taneiio,
37 were immediately struck with a plague/disease that Yahweh sent, and they died.
le navetra’ ty angorosy añatrefa’ Iehovà ondaty ninday i talily raty ty amy taneio.
38 Of the twelve men who had explored Canaan, only Joshua and Caleb remained alive.
Iehosoa ana’ i None naho i Kalebe ana’ Iefonè avao ty mbe niveloñe amo nitingañe i taneio.
39 When Moses/I reported to the Israeli people what Yahweh had said, many of them were very sad.
Aa le akore ty fihonto’ o ana’ Israeleo amy nitaroña’ i Mosè i entañe zaiy,
40 So the people got up early the next morning and started to go toward the hilly area in Canaan. They said, “[We know that] we have sinned, but now we [are ready to] enter the land that Yahweh promised to give to us.”
kanao nivañoñe marain-tsikiake iereo niañambone’ i vohitsey, ami’ty hoe: Itoan-jahay, hanganike i nampitama’ Iehovà anaiy, fa nanao hakeo zahay.
41 But Moses/I said, “Yahweh commanded you [to return to the desert, so] why are you now disobeying him [RHQ]? It will not (succeed/be possible).
Hoe ka t’i Mosè, Aa vaho akore te lilare’ areo ty lili’ Iehovà henaneo? Toe tsy ho tafetetse.
42 Do not try to enter the land now! [If you try], your enemies will defeat you, because Yahweh will not (be with/help) you.
Ko mionjoñe mb’eo tsy mone ho rotsaheñe añatrefan-drafelahi’ areo fa tsy mindre ama’ areo t’Iehovà.
43 When you begin to fight the descendants of Amalek and Canaan, they will slaughter you! Yahweh will abandon you, because you have abandoned him.”
Aolo’ areo o nte-Amalekeo naho o nte-Kanàneo, le hampitsingoroem-pibara nahareo; amy te niambohoa’ areo t’Iehovà, vaho tsy hindreza’ Iehovà lia.
44 But even though Moses/I did not leave the camp, and the sacred chest that contained the Ten Commandments was not taken from the camp, the people began to go towards the hilly area in Canaan.
F’ie nionjoñe tsinahy mb’an-tiotio’ i vohitsey mb’eo; fe tsy niakatse i tobey ka i vatam-pañina’ Iehovày ndra i Mosè.
45 Then the descendants of Amalek and Canaan who lived in that hilly area came down and attacked them and chased them as far [south] as [the town of] Hormah.
Aa le nizotso hiatreatre am’iareo o nte-Amalekeo naho o nte-Kanàne mpimoneñe amy vohitseio, nandafa naho nandronje iareo sikala e Khormà añe.
