Numbers 14
1 And all the company lifteth up and give forth their voice, and the people weep during that night;
Israelviwo katã de asi avifafa me sesĩe. Wofa avi zã blibo la.
2 and all the sons of Israel murmur against Moses, and against Aaron, and all the company say unto them, 'O that we had died in the land of Egypt, or in this wilderness, O that we had died!
Israelviwo katã lĩ liʋĩliʋĩ ɖe Mose kple Aron ŋu, eye ame haho la katã gblɔ na wo be, “Ɖe míeku ɖe Egipte la, anye ne enyo wu alo ɖe gbedzi afi sia la, ne enyo ŋutɔ!
3 and why is Jehovah bringing us in unto this land to fall by the sword? our wives and our infants are become a prey; is it not good for us to turn back to Egypt?'
Nu ka ŋuti Yehowa kplɔ mí va anyigba sia dzi be míatsi yi nu? Mía srɔ̃nyɔnuwo kple mía viwo azu nuhaha. Ɖe manyo wu ne míagbugbɔ ayi Egipte oa?”
4 And they say one unto another, 'Let us appoint a head, and turn back to Egypt.'
Wogblɔ na wo nɔewo be, “Mina míatia kplɔla si akplɔ mí míatrɔ ayi Egipte!”
5 And Moses falleth — Aaron also — on their faces, before all the assembly of the company of the sons of Israel.
Tete Mose kple Aron wotsyɔ mo anyi ɖe Israelvi siwo katã ƒo ƒu ɖe afi ma la ƒe ŋkume.
6 And Joshua son of Nun, and Caleb son of Jephunneh, of those spying the land, have rent their garments,
Yosua, Nun ƒe vi kple Kaleb, Yefune ƒe vi, ame siwo nɔ ŋkutsalawo dome, tsa ŋku le anyigba la dzi la, dze woƒe awuwo,
7 and they speak unto all the company of the sons of Israel, saying, 'The land into which we have passed over to spy it, [is] a very very good land;
hegblɔ na Israel ha blibo la be, “Anyigba si dzi míeto hetsa ŋku le la nyo ŋutɔ.
8 if Jehovah hath delighted in us, then He hath brought us in unto this land, and hath given it to us, a land which is flowing with milk and honey;
Nenye be míaƒe nu nyo Yehowa ŋu la, akplɔ mí ayi ɖe anyigba ma dzi, anyigba si dzi notsi kple anyitsi le tsatsam le, eye wòatsɔe ana mí.
9 only, against Jehovah rebel not ye: and ye, fear not ye the people of the land, for our bread they [are]; their defence hath turned aside from off them, and Jehovah [is] with us; fear them not.'
Gake ɖekoe miagadze aglã ɖe Yehowa ŋu o, eye migavɔ̃ ame siwo le anyigba la dzi o, wo dzi ɖuɖu le bɔbɔe na mí, elabena luʋɔ dzo le wo ta, ke míawo ya la, Yehowa li kpli mí, eya ta migavɔ̃ na wo o.”
10 And all the company say to stone them with stones, and the honour of Jehovah hath appeared in the tent of meeting unto all the sons of Israel.
Ke ameha blibo la ƒo nu tso kpeƒuƒu wo ŋu. Tete Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe dze le agbadɔ la gbɔ na Israelviwo katã.
11 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Until when doth this people despise Me? and until when do they not believe in Me, for all the signs which I have done in its midst?
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣie ame siawo ado vlom? Va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣie woagbe be yewomaxɔ dzinye ase o le dzesi wɔnuku siwo mewɔ la katã megbe?
12 I smite it with pestilence, and dispossess it, and make thee become a nation greater and mightier than it.'
Womaganye nye domenyilawo o. Matsrɔ̃ wo kple dɔvɔ̃. Mana dukɔ si alolo sãa, eye wòasẽ ŋu sãa wu Israel la nado tso mewò!”
13 And Moses saith unto Jehovah, 'Then have the Egyptians heard! for Thou hast brought up with Thy power this people out of their midst,
Mose ƒo koko na Yehowa be, “Ke nu ka Egiptetɔwo abu ne wose nya sia? Wonya ŋusẽ si nèɖe fia le wò amewo ɖeɖe me la nyuie.
14 and they have said [it] unto the inhabitant of this land, they have heard that Thou, Jehovah, [art] in the midst of this people, that eye to eye Thou art seen — O Jehovah, and Thy cloud is standing over them, — and in a pillar of cloud Thou art going before them by day, and in a pillar of fire by night.
Wogblɔ nya sia na anyigba sia dzi nɔlawo, eye wonya nyuie be, wò Yehowa nèle Israel dzi, eye nèƒoa nu kplii ŋkume kple ŋkume. Wokpɔa lilikpo dodo la kple dzo bibi la wonɔa mía tame. Wonya be èkplɔa mí, eye nèkpɔa mía ta le ŋkeke me kple zã me siaa.
15 'And Thou hast put to death this people as one man, and the nations who have heard Thy fame have spoken, saying,
Azɔ ne èwu wò amewo la, dukɔ siwo se nu tso wò ŋkɔxɔxɔ ŋu la agblɔ be,
16 From Jehovah's want of ability to bring in this people unto the land which He hath sworn to them — He doth slaughter them in the wilderness.
‘Enɔ na Yehowa be wòawu wo, elabena mete ŋu kpɔ wo ta le gbedzi o. Ŋusẽ menɔ eŋu be wòate ŋu akplɔ wo ayi anyigba si wòka atam be yeatsɔ ana wo la dzi o.’
17 'And now, let, I pray Thee, the power of my Lord be great, as Thou hast spoken, saying:
“Azɔ la, wòaɖe Yehowa ƒe ŋusẽ afia abe ale si nèɖe gbeƒãe ene:
18 Jehovah [is] slow to anger, and of great kindness; bearing away iniquity and transgression, and not entirely acquitting, charging iniquity of fathers on sons, on a third [generation], and on a fourth; —
‘Yehowa le blewu le dɔmedzoedodo me, eƒe amenuveve sɔ gbɔ, eye wòtsɔa nu vɔ̃ kple aglãdzedze kena. Ke megbea tohehe na fɔɖilawo o. Ehea to na ɖeviwo ɖe wo fofowo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta va se ɖe dzidzime etɔ̃lia kple enelia dzi.’
19 forgive, I pray Thee, the iniquity of this people, according to the greatness of Thy kindness, and as Thou hast borne with this people from Egypt, even until now.'
O! Meɖe kuku na wò, tsɔ ameawo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo ke wo le wò lɔlɔ̃ triakɔ si metrɔna o la ta, abe ale si nètsɔ nu vɔ̃wo ke wo ɣe sia ɣi tso esime míedzo le Egipte va se ɖe fifia ene.”
20 And Jehovah saith, 'I have forgiven, according to thy word;
Yehowa ɖo eŋu be, “Metsɔe ke wo abe ale si nèbia ene.
21 and yet, I live — and it is filled — the whole earth — [with] the honour of Jehovah;
Gake zi ale si mele agbe, eye zi ale si Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe yɔ anyigba blibo la dzi la,
22 for all the men who are seeing My honour, and My signs, which I have done in Egypt, and in the wilderness, and try Me these ten times, and have not hearkened to My voice —
nenema tututue wòanye nyateƒe, be ame siwo kpɔ nye ŋutikɔkɔe kple nukunu siwo mewɔ le Egipte kple gbedzi siaa, eye wogbe zi ewo be yewomaka ɖe dzinye o, eye yewomaɖo tom hã o la dometɔ ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã
23 they see not the land which I have sworn to their fathers, yea, none of those despising Me see it;
makpɔ anyigba si ŋugbe medo na ame siawo tɔgbuiwo o.
24 and My servant Caleb, because there hath been another spirit with him, and he is fully after Me — I have brought him in unto the land whither he hath entered, and his seed doth possess it.
Ke nye dɔla, Kaleb ya nye ame bubu aɖe kura, eɖo tom ale si dze. Makplɔe ayi anyigba si dzi wòde abe ŋkutsala ene la, eye eƒe dzidzimeviwo akpɔ woƒe gome dedie le eme.
25 'And the Amalekite and the Canaanite are dwelling in the valley; to-morrow turn ye and journey for yourselves into the wilderness — the way of the Red Sea.'
Azɔ la, esi Israelviwo le vɔvɔ̃m nenema gbegbe na Amalekitɔwo kple Kanaantɔwo, ame siwo le baliawo me ta la, etsɔ la, ele na mi be miagatrɔ ayi gbedzi, aɖo ta Ƒu Dzĩ la gbɔ.”
26 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, and unto Aaron, saying,
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose kple Aron be,
27 'Until when hath this evil company that which they are murmuring against Me? the murmurings of the sons of Israel, which they are murmuring against Me, I have heard;
“Va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣie ameha vɔ̃ɖi sia alĩ liʋĩliʋĩ ɖe ŋutinye? Mese Israelvi liʋĩliʋĩlĩla siawo ƒe liʋĩliʋĩlilĩ.
28 say unto them, I live — an affirmation of Jehovah — if, as ye have spoken in Mine ears — so I do not to you;
Migblɔ na wo be, ‘Yehowa ka atam be yeana nu si vɔ̃m miele la nava mia dzi.
29 in this wilderness do your carcases fall, even all your numbered ones, to all your number, from a son of twenty years and upward, who have murmured against Me;
Mi katã miaku ɖe gbedzi le afi sia! Ame ɖeka pɛ si xɔ ƒe blaeve alo wu nenema, ame si lĩ liʋĩliʋĩ le ŋutinye gɔ̃ hã la
30 ye — ye come not in unto the land which I have lifted up My hand to cause you to tabernacle in it, except Caleb son of Jephunneh, and Joshua son of Nun.

31 'As to your infants — of whom ye have said, A spoil they are become — I have even brought them in, and they have known the land which ye have kicked against;
Miegblɔ be yewo viwo ava zu kluviwo na anyigba la dzi tɔwo. Le esia teƒe la, makplɔ mia viwo boŋ woaɖo anyigba la dzi dedie, eye woawo anyi nu si miawo miedo vloe la ƒe dome.
32 as to you — your carcases do fall in this wilderness,
Ke miawo la, miaku ɖe gbe sia dzi.
33 and your sons are evil in the wilderness forty years, and have borne your whoredoms till your carcases are consumed in the wilderness;
Miatsa tsaglalã le gbedzi abe alẽnyilawo ene ƒe blaene. Ale miaxe fe ɖe miaƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta va se ɖe esime mia dometɔ mamlɛtɔ naku ɖe gbedzi.
34 by the number of the days [in] which ye spied the land, forty days, — a day for a year, a day for a year — ye do bear your iniquities, forty years, and ye have known my breaking off;
Ƒe blaene, ƒe ɖeka ɖe ŋkeke ɖeka ɖe sia ɖe si mietsa ŋku le anyigba la dzi nu, miakpe fu ɖe miaƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta, eye mianya nu si wònye be miana matrɔ le mia yome.’
35 I [am] Jehovah, I have spoken; if I do not this to all this evil company who are meeting against me; — in this wilderness they are consumed, and there they die.'

36 And the men whom Moses hath sent to spy the land, and they turn back and cause all the company to murmur against him, by bringing out an evil account concerning the land,
Ale ame siwo Mose ɖo ɖa be woatsa ŋku le anyigba la dzi, eye wogbɔ va na ameha blibo la lĩ liʋĩliʋĩ ɖe eŋu to nutsotso vɔ̃ nana tso anyigba la ŋuti me
37 even the men bringing out an evil account of the land die by the plague before Jehovah;
la, ame siwo na nutsotso vɔ̃ tso anyigba la ŋu la, woƒo wo ƒu anyi, eye woku le dɔvɔ̃ ta le Yehowa ŋkume.
38 and Joshua son of Nun, and Caleb son of Jephunneh, have lived of those men who go to spy out the land.
Yosua kple Yefune ƒe vi Kaleb koe susɔ le ŋkutsalawo dome.
39 And Moses speaketh these words unto all the sons of Israel, and the people mourn exceedingly,
Esi Mose gblɔ nya siwo Yehowa gblɔ nɛ la na Israelviwo la, nuxaxa gã aɖe ge ɖe asaɖa blibo la me.
40 and they rise early in the morning, and go up unto the top of the mountain, saying, 'Here we [are], and we have come up unto the place which Jehovah hath spoken of, for we have sinned.'
Wofɔ ŋdi kanya, eye wodze mɔ ɖo ta Ŋugbedodonyigba la dzi. Ameawo gblɔ be, “Míedze sii be míewɔ nu vɔ̃, ke míele klalo azɔ be, míayi anyigba si ŋugbe Yehowa do na mí la dzi!”
41 And Moses saith, 'Why [is] this? — ye are transgressing the command of Jehovah, and it doth not prosper;
Ke Mose gblɔ be, “Nu ka ŋuti miele tsitre tsim ɖe Yehowa ƒe ɖoɖo la ŋu? Mele edzi dze ge o!
42 go not up, for Jehovah is not in your midst, and ye are not smitten before your enemies;
Migazɔ ɖe miaƒe ɖoɖowo nu o; ne menye nenema o la, miaƒe futɔwo aɖu mia dzi, elabena Yehowa mele mia yome o.
43 for the Amalekite and the Canaanite [are] there before you, and ye have fallen by the sword, because that ye have turned back from after Jehovah, and Jehovah is not with you.'
Mieɖo ŋku edzi oa? Amalekitɔwo kple Kanaantɔwo le afi ma eye miatsi yi nu! Miegbugbɔ le Yehowa yome. Azɔ la, eya hã agbugbɔ le mia yome.”
44 And they presume to go up unto the top of the mountain, and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah and Moses have not departed out of the midst of the camp.
Ke togbɔ be Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la loo alo Mose medzo le asaɖa la me o hã la, ameawo dze mɔ yi toawo dzi.
45 And the Amalekite and the Canaanite who are dwelling in that mountain come down and smite them, and beat them down — unto Hormah.
Tete Amalekitɔwo kple Kanaantɔwo, ame siwo le toawo dzi la ɖiɖi ɖe wo dzi, kpe aʋa kpli wo, eye wonya wo ɖo ɖe Horma.
