Numbers 14
1 That night, all the Israeli people cried loudly.
Halkan sana namoonni waldaa sanaa hundinuu sagalee isaanii ol fudhatanii booʼan.
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!
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 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!”
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 Then [some of] them said to each other, “We should choose a leader who will take us back to Egypt!”
Isaanis, “Amma hoogganaa filannee biyya Gibxitti haa deebinu” waliin jedhan.
5 Then Aaron and Moses/I bowed down [to pray] in front of all the Israeli people who had gathered there.
Kana irratti Musee fi Aroon fuula guutummaa yaaʼii Israaʼel kanneen achitti walitti qabamanii duratti addaan lafatti gombifaman.
6 Joshua and Caleb, two of the men who had explored the land, tore their clothes [because they were very dismayed].
Jarreen biyyattii keessa deemanii basaasan keessaa Iyyaasuun ilmi Nuuniitii fi Kaaleb ilmi Yefunee uffata ofii tarsaasanii,
7 They said to the Israeli people, “The land that we explored is very good.
guutummaa yaaʼii Israaʼelootaatiin akkana jedhan; “Biyyi nu keessa deemnee basaasne sun akka malee gaarii dha.
8 If Yahweh is pleased with us, he will lead us into that very fertile [IDM] land, and he will give it to us.
Waaqayyo yoo nutti gammade biyya sanatti nu galchee biyyattii aannanii fi damma baaftu sana nuu kenna.
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!”
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 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.
Waldaan guutuun garuu dhagaan isaan tumuudhaaf mariʼate. Ulfinni Waaqayyoos fuula dunkaana wal gaʼii duratti Israaʼeloota hundatti mulʼate.
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]!
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 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.”
Ani golfaadhaan dhaʼee isaan nan balleessa; siʼi garuu saba isaan caalaa guddaa fi jabaa sin godha.”
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,
Museen Waaqayyoon akkana jedhe; “Warri Gibxi waaʼee waan kanaa ni dhagaʼu! Ati humna keetiin saba kana gidduu isaaniitii baaftee fiddeertaatii.
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].
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 If you kill these people all at one time, the people-groups who have heard about your [power] will say,
Yoo ati saba kana yeruma tokkotti barbadeessite, saboonni oduu waaʼee keetii dhagaʼan,
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.’
‘Waaqayyo biyya kakuudhaan waadaa isaaniif gale sanatti saba kana galchuu hin dandeenye; inni kanumaaf gammoojjii keessatti isaan gogorraʼe’ jedhu.
17 “So Yahweh, now show that you are very powerful. You said,
“Egaa akkuma ati akkana jettee dubbatte sanatti jabinni Gooftaa haa argisiifamu:
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.’
‘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 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.”
Akkuma yeroo isaan biyya Gibxii baʼanii jalqabdee hamma ammaatti dhiifama isaaniif goote sana akkuma jaalala kee guddaa sanaatti cubbuu saba kanaa dhiisiif.”
20 Then Yahweh replied, “I have forgiven them, as you requested me to.
Waaqayyo akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Ani akkuma ati kadhatte sana isaaniif dhiiseera.
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: ]
Taʼu illee akkuma ani dhugumaan jiraataa taʼee fi akkuma ulfinni Waaqayyoo dhugumaan lafa hunda guute sana,
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].
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 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.
tokkoon isaanii biyya ani kakuudhaan abbootii isaaniitiif waadaa gale sana hin argan. Namni na tuffate tokko biyya sana hin argu.
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.
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 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.”
Sababii Amaaleqoonnii fi Kanaʼaanonni Sululoota keessa jiraataniif, isin bor deebiʼaatii karaa Galaana Diimaatiin gammoojjiitti qajeelaa.”
26 Then Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me,
Waaqayyo Musee fi Arooniin akkana jedhe:
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.
“Waldaan hamaan kun hamma yoomiitti natti guunguma? Ani guungummii Israaʼeloota guungumtoota sanaa dhagaʼeera.
28 So now tell them this: ‘Just as certainly as I, Yahweh, live, I will do exactly what you said would happen.
Akkana jedhii isaanitti himi; ‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha; ani jiraataadhaatii, akkuma isin gurra kootti dubbattan sana anis isinitti godha:
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
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 will enter the land that I solemnly promised to give to you. Only Caleb and Joshua will enter that land.
Kaaleb ilma Yefuneetii fi Iyyaasuu ilma Nuuni malee tokkoon keessan iyyuu biyya ani keessa isin qubachiisuuf kakadhe sanatti hin galtan.
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).
Ani garuu ijoollee keessan warra isin ni boojiʼamu jettan sana itti nan galcha; isaanis biyya isin tuffattan sana ni beeku.
32 But as for you [adults], you will die here in this desert.
Isin garuu, reeffi keessan gammoojjuma kana keessatti harcaʼa.
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.
Ijoolleen keessan waggaa afurtama gammoojjii kana keessa ni jooru; hamma isin hundi gammoojjii keessatti dhumtanitti isaan sababii amanamummaa dhabuu keessaniitiif achitti rakkatu.
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.’
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 [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!”
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 ten men [who had explored Canaan and] who had urged the people to rebel against Yahweh by giving reports that discouraged the people
Namoonni Museen akka isaan biyyattii basaasaniif erge yommuu achii deebiʼanitti waaʼee biyya sanaa gabaasa hamaa waldaatti gabaasanii akka waldaan Museetti guungumu godhan jechuunis
37 were immediately struck with a plague/disease that Yahweh sent, and they died.
namoonni waaʼee biyyattii gabaasa hamaa gabaasuutti gaafataman sun dhaʼichaan fuula Waaqayyoo duratti dhuman.
38 Of the twelve men who had explored Canaan, only Joshua and Caleb remained alive.
Namoota biyyattii basaasuu dhaqan keessaa Iyyaasuu ilma Nuunitii fi Kaaleb ilma Yefunee qofatu duʼa oole.
39 When Moses/I reported to the Israeli people what Yahweh had said, many of them were very sad.
Museen waan kana hunda Israaʼelootatti himnaan isaan akka malee booʼan.
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.”
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 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).
Museen garuu akkana jedhe; “Isin maaliif ajaja Waaqayyoo cabsitu? Wanni kun isiniif hin milkaaʼu!
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.
Akka diinota keessaniin hin moʼatamneef ol hin baʼinaa; Waaqayyo isin wajjin hin jiruutii;
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.”
Amaaleqoonnii fi Kanaʼaanonni achitti isinitti dhufuutii. Sababii isin Waaqayyo irraa garagaltaniif inni isin wajjin hin jiraatu; goraadeedhaan barbadeeffamtu.”
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.
Isaan garuu utuu Musee fi taabonni kakuu Waaqayyoo qubata keessaa gad hin baʼin yaaduma isaaniitiin kaʼanii fiixee biyya gaaraatti ol baʼan.
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.
Yommus Amaaleqoonnii fi Kanaʼaanonni gaara sana irra jiraatan gad buʼanii isaan dhaʼanii hamma Hormaatti isaan ariʼan.
