< Numbers 14 >

1 Therfor al the cumpeny criede, and wepte in that nyyt,
Usiku ule watu wote wa jumuiya walipaza sauti zao na kulia kwa sauti kuu.
2 and alle the sones of Israel grutchiden ayens Moises and Aaron, and seiden,
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 We wolden that we hadden be deed in Egipt, and not in this waast wildirnesse; we wolden that we perischen, and that the Lord lede vs not in to this lond, lest we fallen bi swerd, and oure wyues and fre children ben led prisoneris; whether it is not betere to turne ayen in to Egipt?
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 thei seiden oon to another, Ordeyne we a duyk to vs, and turne we ayen in to Egipt.
Wakasemezana wao kwa wao, “Inatupasa kumchagua kiongozi na kurudi Misri.”
5 And whanne this was herd, Moises and Aaron felden lowe to erthe, bifor al the multitude of the sones of Israel.
Ndipo Mose na Aroni wakaanguka kifudifudi mbele ya kusanyiko lote la Kiisraeli lililokusanyika hapo.
6 And sotheli Josue, the sone of Nun, and Caleph, the sone of Jephone, whiche also cumpassiden the lond, to renten her clothis,
Yoshua mwana wa Nuni na Kalebu mwana wa Yefune, waliokuwa miongoni mwa watu wale waliokwenda kuipeleleza nchi, wakararua nguo zao,
7 and spaken to al the multitude of the sones of Israel, The lond which we cumpassiden is ful good;
wakasema na kusanyiko lote la Kiisraeli, wakawaambia, “Nchi tuliyopita katikati yake na kuipeleleza ni nzuri sana sana.
8 if the Lord is merciful to vs, he schal lede vs in to it, and schal yyue `to vs the lond flowynge with mylk and hony.
Ikiwa Bwana anapendezwa nasi, atatuongoza kuingia katika nchi ile, nchi itiririkayo maziwa na asali, naye atatupa nchi hiyo.
9 Nyle ye be rebel ayens the Lord, nether drede ye the puple of this lond, for we moun deuoure hem so as breed; al her help passide awei fro hem, the Lord is with vs, nyle ye drede.
Ila tu msimwasi Bwana. Wala msiwaogope watu wa nchi hiyo, kwa sababu tutawameza. Ulinzi wao umeondoka, lakini Bwana yupo pamoja nasi. Msiwaogope.”
10 And whanne al the multitude criede, and wolde oppresse hem with stonys, the glorie of the Lord apperide on the roof of the boond of pees, while alle the sones of Israel sien.
Lakini kusanyiko lote likazungumza juu ya kuwapiga kwa mawe. Ndipo utukufu wa Bwana ukaonekana katika Hema la Kukutania kwa Waisraeli wote.
11 And the Lord seide to Moises, Hou long schal this puple bacbite me? Hou longe schulen thei not bileue to me in alle `signes, whiche Y haue do bifor hem?
Bwana akamwambia Mose, “Watu hawa watanidharau mpaka lini? Wataendelea kukataa kuniamini mimi mpaka lini, ingawa nimetenda ishara za miujiza miongoni mwao?
12 Therfor Y schal smyte hem with pestilence, and Y schal waste hem; forsothe Y schal make thee prince on a greet folk, and strongere than is this.
Nitawapiga kwa tauni na kuwaangamiza, lakini nitakufanya wewe kuwa taifa kubwa lenye nguvu kuliko wao.”
13 And Moises seide to the Lord, Egipcians `here not, fro whos myddil thou leddist out this puple,
Mose akamwambia Bwana, “Ndipo Wamisri watasikia juu ya jambo hili! Kwa uweza wako uliwapandisha watu hawa kutoka miongoni mwao.
14 and the dwelleris of this loond, whiche herden that thou, Lord, art in this puple, and art seyn face to face, and that thi cloude defendith hem, and that thou goist bifore hem in a pilere of cloude bi dai,
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 in a piler of fier bi nyyt, that thou hast slayn so greet a multitude as o man,
Ikiwa utawaua watu hawa wote mara moja, mataifa ambayo yamesikia taarifa hii kukuhusu wewe watasema,
16 and seie thei, He myyte not brynge this puple in to the lond for whiche he swoor, therfor he killide hem in wildirnesse;
‘Bwana alishindwa kuwaingiza watu hawa katika nchi aliyowaahidi kwa kiapo; hivyo akawaua jangwani.’
17 therfor the strengthe of the Lord be magnified, as thou hast swore. And Moises seide,
“Basi sasa nguvu za Bwana na zionekane, sawasawa na vile ulivyosema:
18 Lord pacient, and of myche mercy, doynge awei wickidnesse and trespassis, and leeuynge no man vngilti, which visitist the synnes of fadris in to sones in to the thridde and fourthe generacioun, Y biseche,
‘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 foryyue thou the synne of this thi puple, aftir the greetnesse of thi merci, as thou were merciful to men goynge out of Egipt `til to this place.
Kwa kadiri ya upendo wako mkuu, usamehe dhambi ya watu hawa, kama vile ulivyowasamehe tangu wakati walitoka Misri mpaka sasa.”
20 And the Lord seide, Y haue foryouun to hem, bi thi word.
Bwana akajibu, “Nimewasamehe kama ulivyoomba.
21 Y lyue; and the glorie of the Lord schal be fillid in al erthe;
Hata hivyo, kwa hakika kama niishivyo, na kwa hakika kama utukufu wa Bwana uijazavyo dunia yote,
22 netheles alle men that sien my mageste, and my signes, whiche Y dide in Egipt and in the wildirnesse, and temptiden me now bi ten sithis, and obeieden not to my vois,
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 schulen not se the lond for which Y swore to her fadris, nethir ony of hem that bacbitide me, schal se it.
hakuna hata mmoja wao atakayeona nchi niliyowaahidi baba zao kwa kiapo. Hakuna hata mmoja ambaye amenidharau atakayeiona.
24 Y schal lede my seruaunt Caleph, that was ful of anothir spirit, and suede me, in to this lond, which he cumpasside, and his seed schal welde 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 For Amalech and Cananei dwellen in the valeis, to morewe moue ye tentis, and turne ye ayen in to wildirnesse bi the weie of the reed see.
Kwa kuwa Waamaleki na Wakanaani wanaishi katika mabonde, kesho geukeni mwelekee jangwani kwa kufuata njia iendayo Bahari ya Shamu.”
26 And the Lord spak to Moises and to Aaron, and seide,
Bwana akamwambia Mose na Aroni:
27 Hou long grutchith this werste multitude ayens me? Y haue herd the pleyntis of the sones of Israel.
“Jumuiya hii ovu itanungʼunika dhidi yangu hadi lini? Nimesikia malalamiko ya hawa Waisraeli wanaonungʼunika.
28 Therfor seie thou to hem, Y lyue, seith the Lord; as ye spaken while Y herde, so Y schal do to you;
Hivyo waambie, ‘Hakika kama niishivyo, asema Bwana, nitawafanyia vitu vilevile nilivyosikia mkisema:
29 youre careyns schulen ligge in this wildirnesse. Alle ye that ben noumbrid, fro twenti yeer and aboue, and grutchiden ayens me,
Kila mmoja wenu mwenye umri wa miaka ishirini au zaidi ambaye alihesabiwa na amenungʼunika dhidi yangu, miili yenu itaanguka katika jangwa hili.
30 schulen not entre in to the lond, on which Y reiside myn hond, that Y schulde make you to dwelle outakun Caleph, the sone of Jephone, and Josue, the sone 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 Forsothe Y schal lede in youre litle children, of whiche ye seiden that thei schulden be preyes `ethir raueyns to enemyes, that thei se the lond which displeside you.
Lakini watoto wenu ambao mlisema watachukuliwa kama mateka, nitawaingiza humo ili waifurahie nchi ambayo ninyi mmeikataa.
32 Forsothe youre careyns schulen ligge in the wildirnesse;
Lakini ninyi, miili yenu itaanguka katika jangwa hili.
33 youre sones schulen be walkeris aboute in the deseert bi fourti yeer, and thei schulen bere youre fornycacioun, til the careyns of the fadris ben wastid in the deseert,
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 noumbre of fourti daies, in whiche ye bihelden the loond; a yeer schal be arettid for a dai, and bi fourti yeer ye schulen resseyue youre wickidnesse, and ye schulen knowe my veniaunce.
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 For as Y spak, so Y schal do to al this werste multitude, that roos to gidere ayens me; it schal faile, and schal die in this wildirnesse.
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 Therfor alle the men whyche Moises hadde sent to see the lond, and whiche turniden ayen, and maden al the multitude to grutche ayens hym, and depraueden the lond, that it was yuel,
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 weren deed, and smytun in the siyt of the Lord.
watu hawa waliohusika kueneza taarifa mbaya kuhusu hiyo nchi walipigwa na kuanguka kwa tauni mbele za Bwana.
38 Sotheli Josue, the sone of Nun, and Caleph, the sone of Jephone, lyueden, of alle men that yeden to se the lond.
Miongoni mwa watu waliokwenda kuipeleleza hiyo nchi, ni Yoshua mwana wa Nuni, na Kalebu mwana wa Yefune peke yao waliosalia.
39 And Moises spak alle these wordis to alle the sones of Israel, and the puple mourenyde gretli.
Mose alipotoa taarifa hii kwa Waisraeli wote, waliomboleza kwa uchungu.
40 And, lo! thei riseden in the morewtid first, and `stieden in to the cop of the hil, and seiden, We ben redi to stie to the place, of which the Lord spak, for we synneden.
Mapema asubuhi siku iliyofuata walipanda juu kuelekea kwenye nchi ya vilima virefu, wakasema, “Tumetenda dhambi. Tutakwea mpaka mahali Bwana alipotuahidi.”
41 To whiche Moises seide, Whi passen ye the word of the Lord, that schal not bifalle to you in to prosperite?
Lakini Mose akasema, “Kwa nini hamtii amri ya Bwana? Jambo hili halitafanikiwa!
42 Nyle ye stie, for the Lord is not with you, lest ye fallen bifor youre enemyes.
Msipande juu, kwa kuwa Bwana hayupo pamoja nanyi. Mtashindwa na adui zenu,
43 Amalech and Cananei ben bifor you, bi the swerd of whiche ye schulen falle, for ye nolden assente to the Lord, nether the Lord schal be with you.
kwa kuwa Waamaleki na Wakanaani watapambana nanyi huko. Kwa sababu mmemwacha Bwana, hatakuwa pamoja nanyi, ninyi mtaanguka kwa upanga.”
44 And thei weren maad derk, and stieden in to the cop of the hil; forsothe the ark of the testament of the Lord and Moises yeden not awey fro the tentis.
Hata hivyo, kwa kiburi chao walipanda juu kuelekea nchi ya vilima virefu, ijapokuwa Mose hakutoka kambini wala Sanduku la Agano la Bwana.
45 And Amalech cam doun, and Chananei, that dwelliden in the hil, and he smoot hem, and kittide doun, and pursuede hem til Horma.
Ndipo Waamaleki na Wakanaani walioishi katika hiyo nchi ya vilima wakateremka na kuwashambulia, wakawapiga njia yote hadi Horma.
