Mose 4 14
1 Israelviwo katã de asi avifafa me sesĩe. Wofa avi zã blibo la.
And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.
2 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!
And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said to them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness!
3 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?”
And why has the LORD brought us to this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt?
4 Wogblɔ na wo nɔewo be, “Mina míatia kplɔla si akplɔ mí míatrɔ ayi Egipte!”
And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.
5 Tete Mose kple Aron wotsyɔ mo anyi ɖe Israelvi siwo katã ƒo ƒu ɖe afi ma la ƒe ŋkume.
Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.
6 Yosua, Nun ƒe vi kple Kaleb, Yefune ƒe vi, ame siwo nɔ ŋkutsalawo dome, tsa ŋku le anyigba la dzi la, dze woƒe awuwo,
And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes:
7 hegblɔ na Israel ha blibo la be, “Anyigba si dzi míeto hetsa ŋku le la nyo ŋutɔ.
And they spoke to all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land.
8 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.
If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which flows with milk and honey.
9 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.”
Only rebel not you against the LORD, neither fear you the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defense is departed from them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not.
10 Ke ameha blibo la ƒo nu tso kpeƒuƒu wo ŋu. Tete Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe dze le agbadɔ la gbɔ na Israelviwo katã.
But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And the glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before all the children of Israel.
11 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?
And the LORD said to Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be before they believe me, for all the signs which I have showed among them?
12 Womaganye nye domenyilawo o. Matsrɔ̃ wo kple dɔvɔ̃. Mana dukɔ si alolo sãa, eye wòasẽ ŋu sãa wu Israel la nado tso mewò!”
I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of you a greater nation and mightier than they.
13 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.
And Moses said to the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear it, (for you brought up this people in your might from among them; )
14 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.
And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they have heard that you LORD are among this people, that you LORD are seen face to face, and that your cloud stands over them, and that you go before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.
15 Azɔ ne èwu wò amewo la, dukɔ siwo se nu tso wò ŋkɔxɔxɔ ŋu la agblɔ be,
Now if you shall kill all this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of you will speak, saying,
16 ‘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.’
Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which he swore to them, therefore he has slain them in the wilderness.
17 “Azɔ la, wòaɖe Yehowa ƒe ŋusẽ afia abe ale si nèɖe gbeƒãe ene:
And now, I beseech you, let the power of my LORD be great, according as you have spoken, saying,
18 ‘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.’
The LORD is long-suffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation.
19 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.”
Pardon, I beseech you, the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of your mercy, and as you have forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.
20 Yehowa ɖo eŋu be, “Metsɔe ke wo abe ale si nèbia ene.
And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to your word:
21 Gake zi ale si mele agbe, eye zi ale si Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe yɔ anyigba blibo la dzi la,
But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD.
22 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
Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not listened to my voice;
23 makpɔ anyigba si ŋugbe medo na ame siawo tɔgbuiwo o.
Surely they shall not see the land which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:
24 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.
But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and has followed me fully, him will I bring into the land into where he went; and his seed shall possess it.
25 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.”
(Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelled in the valley.) Tomorrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
26 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose kple Aron be,
And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
27 “Va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣie ameha vɔ̃ɖi sia alĩ liʋĩliʋĩ ɖe ŋutinye? Mese Israelvi liʋĩliʋĩlĩla siawo ƒe liʋĩliʋĩlilĩ.
How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.
28 Migblɔ na wo be, ‘Yehowa ka atam be yeana nu si vɔ̃m miele la nava mia dzi.
Say to them, As truly as I live, says the LORD, as you have spoken in my ears, so will I do to you:
29 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
Your carcasses shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward which have murmured against me.
30 made Ŋugbedodonyigba la dzi o. Kaleb, Yefune ƒe viŋutsu kple Yosua, Nun ƒe viŋutsu, koe aɖo anyigba la dzi.
Doubtless you shall not come into the land, concerning which I swore to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
31 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.
But your little ones, which you said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which you have despised.
32 Ke miawo la, miaku ɖe gbe sia dzi.
But as for you, your carcasses, they shall fall in this wilderness.
33 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.
And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your prostitutions, until your carcasses be wasted in the wilderness.
34 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.’
After the number of the days in which you searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall you bear your iniquities, even forty years, and you shall know my breach of promise.
35 Nye, Yehowa, meƒo nu, eye mawɔ nu siawo ameha vɔ̃ɖi blibo la, ameha si bla ɖe ŋunye la kokoko. Woƒe nuwuwu aɖo le gbegbe sia dzi; afi siae woaku ɖo.”
I the LORD have said, I will surely do it to all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.
36 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
And the men, which Moses sent to search the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up a slander on the land,
37 la, ame siwo na nutsotso vɔ̃ tso anyigba la ŋu la, woƒo wo ƒu anyi, eye woku le dɔvɔ̃ ta le Yehowa ŋkume.
Even those men that did bring up the evil report on the land, died by the plague before the LORD.
38 Yosua kple Yefune ƒe vi Kaleb koe susɔ le ŋkutsalawo dome.
But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of the men that went to search the land, lived still.
39 Esi Mose gblɔ nya siwo Yehowa gblɔ nɛ la na Israelviwo la, nuxaxa gã aɖe ge ɖe asaɖa blibo la me.
And Moses told these sayings to all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly.
40 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!”
And they rose up early in the morning, and got them up into the top of the mountain, saying, See, we be here, and will go up to the place which the LORD has promised: for we have sinned.
41 Ke Mose gblɔ be, “Nu ka ŋuti miele tsitre tsim ɖe Yehowa ƒe ɖoɖo la ŋu? Mele edzi dze ge o!
And Moses said, Why now do you transgress the commandment of the LORD? but it shall not prosper.
42 Migazɔ ɖe miaƒe ɖoɖowo nu o; ne menye nenema o la, miaƒe futɔwo aɖu mia dzi, elabena Yehowa mele mia yome o.
Go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that you be not smitten before your enemies.
43 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.”
For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and you shall fall by the sword: because you are turned away from the LORD, therefore the LORD will not be with you.
44 Ke togbɔ be Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la loo alo Mose medzo le asaɖa la me o hã la, ameawo dze mɔ yi toawo dzi.
But they presumed to go up to the hill top: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and Moses, departed not out of the camp.
45 Tete Amalekitɔwo kple Kanaantɔwo, ame siwo le toawo dzi la ɖiɖi ɖe wo dzi, kpe aʋa kpli wo, eye wonya wo ɖo ɖe Horma.
Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which dwelled in that hill, and smote them, and discomfited them, even to Hormah.
