Ndari 14
1 Ũtukũ ũcio andũ othe a kĩrĩndĩ gĩa Isiraeli makĩrĩra maanĩrĩire na mũgambo mũnene.
Wherefore the whole multitude crying wept that night.
2 Andũ acio othe a Isiraeli makĩnuguna nĩ ũndũ wa Musa na Harũni, na kĩũngano kĩu gĩothe gĩkĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Naarĩ korwo twakuĩrĩire Misiri! Kana werũ-inĩ ũyũ!
And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron, saying:
3 Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma Jehova atũrehe bũrũri ũyũ atũrekererie tũũragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora? Atumia aitũ na ciana ciitũ megũtuĩka a gũtahwo. Githĩ wega ti tũcooke bũrũri wa Misiri?”
Would God that we had died in Egypt and would God we may die in this vast wilderness, and that the Lord may not bring us into this land, lest we fall by the sword, and our wives and children be led away captives. Is it not better to return into Egypt?
4 Nao makĩĩrana mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ atĩrĩ, “Twagĩrĩirwo nĩ tũthuure mũtongoria tũcooke bũrũri wa Misiri.”
And they said one to another: Let us appoint a captain, and let us return into Egypt.
5 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Musa na Harũni makĩĩgũithia maturumithĩtie mothiũ mao thĩ mbere ya kĩũngano kĩu gĩothe kĩa andũ a Isiraeli kĩrĩa kĩagomanĩte hau.
And when Moses and Aaron heard this, they fell down flat upon the ground before the multitude of the children of Israel.
6 Joshua mũrũ wa Nuni na Kalebu mũrũ wa Jefune, arĩa maarĩ hamwe na arĩa maathiĩte gũthigaana bũrũri ũcio magĩtembũranga nguo ciao.
But Josue the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephone, who themselves also had viewed the land, rent their garments,
7 Makĩĩra kĩũngano kĩu gĩothe kĩa andũ a Isiraeli atĩrĩ, “Bũrũri ũrĩa twatuĩkanĩirie na tũkĩũthigana, nĩ bũrũri mwega mũno makĩria.
And said to all the multitude of the children of Israel: The land which we have gone round is very good:
8 Jehova angĩkorwo nĩakenetio nĩ ithuĩ, nĩegũtũtongoria tũtoonye bũrũri ũcio, bũrũri ũcio ũiyũrĩte bũthi wa iria na ũũkĩ, na nĩegũtũhe guo ũtuĩke witũ.
If the Lord be favourable, he will bring us into it, and give us a land flowing with milk and honey.
9 No rĩrĩ, mũtikaremere Jehova. Na mũtigetigĩre andũ a bũrũri ũcio, nĩ ũndũ tũkũmameria biũ. Ũgitĩri wao nĩ mweherie, no Jehova arĩ hamwe na ithuĩ. Mũtikametigĩre.”
Be not rebellious against the Lord: and fear ye not the people of this land, for we are able to eat them up as bread. All aid is gone from them: the Lord is with us, fear ye not.
10 No kĩũngano kĩu gĩothe gĩkĩaria ũhoro wa kũmahũũra na mahiga nyuguto. Hĩndĩ ĩyo riiri wa Jehova ũkiumĩrĩra andũ othe a Isiraeli hau Hema-inĩ ya Gũtũnganwo.
And when all the multitude cried out, and would have stoned them, the glory of the Lord appeared over the tabernacle of the covenant to all the children of Israel.
11 Nake Jehova akĩũria Musa atĩrĩ, “Andũ aya megũtũũra maanyararĩte nginya-rĩ? Megũtũũra maregete kũnjĩtĩkia nginya-rĩ, o na ningĩte ciama nyingĩ ũguo gatagatĩ kao?
And the Lord said to Moses: How long will this people detract me? how long will they not believe me for all the signs that I have wrought before them?
12 Nĩngũmahũũra na mũthiro ndĩmaniine, no wee ngũgũtua rũrĩrĩ rũnene na rũrĩ na hinya kũmakĩra.”
I will strike them therefore with pestilence, and will consume them: but thee I will make a ruler over a great nation, and a mightier than this is.
13 Musa akĩĩra Jehova atĩrĩ, “Andũ a Misiri nĩmakaigua ũhoro ũcio! Nĩwe warutire andũ aya makiuma gatagatĩ kao na ũndũ wa ũhoti waku.
And Moses said to the Lord: That the Egyptians, from the midst of whom thou hast brought forth this people,
14 Nao nĩmakeera aikari a bũrũri ũyũ ũhoro ũcio. Nĩmaiguĩte atĩ Wee, O Wee Jehova-rĩ, ũkoragwo na andũ aya, na atĩ Wee Jehova, wanonwo ũthiũ kwa ũthiũ, na atĩ itu rĩaku rĩikaraga igũrũ rĩao, o na atĩ Wee ũthiiaga mbere yao thĩinĩ wa gĩtugĩ kĩa itu mũthenya na ũrĩ thĩinĩ wa gĩtugĩ kĩa mwaki ũtukũ.
And the inhabitants of this land, (who have heard that thou, O Lord, art among this people, and art seen face to face, and thy cloud protecteth them, and thou goest before them in a pillar of a cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night, )
15 Ũngĩũraga andũ aya othe o ro rĩmwe-rĩ, ndũrĩrĩ iria ciiguĩte ũhoro ũyũ waku nĩikoiga atĩrĩ,
May hear that thou hast killed so great a multitude as it were one man and may say:
16 ‘Jehova nĩaremirwo nĩgũkinyia andũ aya bũrũri ũrĩa aamerĩire na mwĩhĩtwa; nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩmooragĩra werũ-inĩ.’
He could not bring the people into the land for which he had sworn, therefore did he kill them in the wilderness.
17 “Na rĩrĩ, hinya wa Mwathani ũrokĩonekana o ta ũrĩa ugĩte, atĩrĩ:
Let their the strength of the Lord be magnified, as thou hast sworn, saying:
18 ‘Jehova ndahiũhaga kũrakara, aiyũrĩtwo nĩ wendo, na nĩohanagĩra mehia na ũremi. No ndaagaga kũherithia mũndũ ũrĩa wĩhĩtie; nĩaherithagia ciana nĩ ũndũ wa mehia ma maithe nginya rũciaro rwa gatatũ na rwa kana.’
The Lord is patient and full of mercy, taking away iniquity and wickedness, and leaving no man clear, who visitest the sins of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.
19 Kũringana na wendo waku mũnene-rĩ, ohera andũ aya mehia mao, o ta ũrĩa wanamarekera kuuma hĩndĩ ĩrĩa moimire bũrũri wa Misiri nginya rĩu.”
Forgive, I beseech thee, the sins of this people, according to the greatness of thy mercy, as thou hast been merciful to them from their going out of Egypt unto this place.
20 Jehova akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ndamarekera o ta ũguo woria.
And the Lord said: I have forgiven according to thy word.
21 No rĩrĩ, ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa niĩ ndũũraga muoyo, na ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa riiri wa Jehova ũiyũrĩte thĩ yothe-rĩ,
As I live: and the whole earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord.
22 gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wa andũ arĩa moonire riiri wakwa na ciama iria ndaringĩire kũu bũrũri wa Misiri o na gũkũ werũ-inĩ, no makĩĩnemera na makĩĩngeria maita ikũmi-rĩ,
But yet all the men that have seen my majesty, and the signs that I have done in Egypt, and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now ten times, and have not obeyed my voice,
23 gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wa acio ũkoona bũrũri ũcio nderĩire maithe mao ma tene na mwĩhĩtwa. Gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wao wa arĩa maanyararĩte ũkaawona.
Shall not see the land for which I aware to their fathers, neither shall any one of them that hath detracted me behold it.
24 No tondũ ndungata yakwa Kalebu arĩ na roho wa mũthemba ũngĩ na nĩanũmagĩrĩra na ngoro yake yothe, nĩngamũtwara bũrũri ũcio aathiĩte, nacio njiaro ciake nĩikaũgaya.
My servant Caleb, who being full of another spirit hath followed me, I will bring into this land which he hath gone round: and his seed shall possess it.
25 Na tondũ andũ a Amaleki na a Kaanani matũũraga cianda-inĩ-rĩ, rokai kũgarũrũka mumagare mũrorete na werũ-inĩ, mũthiĩ na njĩra ya Iria Itune.”
For the Amalecite and the Chanaanite dwell in the valleys. Tomorrow remove the camp, and return into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea.
26 Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa na Harũni atĩrĩ:
And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
27 “Nĩ nginya hĩndĩ ĩrĩkũ kĩrĩndĩ gĩkĩ kĩaganu gĩgũtũũra kĩĩnugunagĩra? Nĩnjiguĩte mateta ma anugunĩki aya a Isiraeli.
How long doth this wicked multitude murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel.
28 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio meere atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa niĩ ndũũraga muoyo-rĩ, nĩ ngũmwĩka o maũndũ macio njiguĩte mũkĩaria.
Say therefore to them: As I live, saith the Lord: According as you have spoken in my hearing, so will I do to you.
29 Ciimba cianyu ikaagũa werũ-inĩ ũyũ, inyuĩ arĩa othe mũrĩ na ũkũrũ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na makĩria arĩa mwatarirwo hĩndĩ ya itarana na arĩa manugunĩte nĩ ũndũ wakwa.
In the wilderness shall your carcasses lie. All you that were numbered from twenty years old and upward, and have murmured against me,
30 Gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wanyu ũgatoonya bũrũri ũcio ndehĩtire nyambararĩtie guoko atĩ nĩũgatuĩka wanyu, tiga o Kalebu mũrũ wa Jefune, na Joshua mũrũ wa Nuni.
Shall not enter into the land, over which I lifted up my bend to make you dwell therein, except Caleb the son of Jephone, and Josue the son of Nun.
31 No ha ũhoro wa ciana cianyu iria mwoigire atĩ nĩ igaatahwo-rĩ, nĩngamakinyia kuo makenagĩre bũrũri ũcio mũregete.
But your children, of whom you said, that they should be a prey to the enemies, will I bring in: that they may see the land which you have despised.
32 No inyuĩ-rĩ, ciimba cianyu ikaagũa werũ-inĩ ũyũ.
Your carcasses shall lie in the wilderness.
33 Ciana cianyu igũtuĩka arĩithi gũkũ werũ-inĩ mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna, igĩthĩnĩkaga nĩ ũndũ wa kwaga kwĩhokeka kwanyu, nginya rĩrĩa kĩimba kĩanyu kĩa mũthia gĩkaagũa werũ-inĩ.
Your children shall wander in the desert forty years, and shall bear your fornication, until the carcasses of their fathers be consumed ill the desert,
34 Mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna, o mwaka ũmwe ũrũgamĩrĩire mũthenya ũmwe wa mĩthenya mĩrongo ĩna ĩrĩa mwathigaanire bũrũri ũcio, mĩaka ĩyo nĩyo mũgaathĩnĩka nĩ ũndũ wa mehia manyu, na mũmenye ũũru wa gũũkĩrĩrwo nĩ niĩ.’
According to the number of the forty days, wherein you viewed the land: year shall be counted for a day. And forty years you shall receive your iniquities, and shall know my revenge:
35 Niĩ Jehova nĩ niĩ njarĩtie, na ti-itherũ nĩngeeka maũndũ macio kũrĩ kĩrĩndĩ gĩkĩ gĩothe kĩaganu, kĩrĩa gĩĩcookanĩrĩirie hamwe kĩnjũkĩrĩre. Gĩgaathirĩra werũ-inĩ ũyũ; gũkũ nĩkuo gĩgaakuĩra.”
For as I have spoken, so will I do to all this wicked multitude, that hath risen up together against me: in this wilderness shall it faint away and die.
36 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, andũ arĩa Musa aatũmĩte magathigaane bũrũri ũcio wa Kaanani, o acio macookire na magĩtũma kĩrĩndĩ gĩothe kĩnugunĩre Musa nĩkũmemerekia ũhoro mũũru wa bũrũri ũcio,
Therefore all the men, whom Moses had sent to view the land, and who at their return had made the whole multitude to murmur against him, speaking ill of the land that it was naught,
37 andũ acio mamemerekirie ũhoro ũcio mũũru wa bũrũri ũcio makĩhũũrwo na mũthiro, magĩkuĩra hau mbere ya Jehova.
Died and were struck in the sight of the Lord.
38 Harĩ andũ arĩa maathiĩte gũthigaana bũrũri ũcio, no Joshua mũrũ wa Nuni, na Kalebu mũrũ wa Jefune maatigarire.
But Josue. the son of Nun. and Caleb the son of Jephone lived, of all them that had gone to view the land.
39 Rĩrĩa Musa aaheire andũ othe a Isiraeli ũhoro ũcio, makĩgirĩka mũno.
And Moses spoke all these words to all the children of Israel, and the people mourned exceedingly.
40 Mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ rũciinĩ tene makĩambata marorete bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma. Makiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩtwĩhĩtie, nĩtũkwambata tũthiĩ nginya kũrĩa Jehova aatwĩrĩire.”
And behold rising up very early in the morning, they went up to the top of the mountain, and said: We are ready to go up to the place, of which the Lord hath spoken: for we have sinned.
41 No Musa akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mũraremera watho wa Jehova nĩkĩ? Ũndũ ũyũ ndũngĩgaacĩra!
And Moses said to them: Why transgress you the word of the Lord, which shall not succeed prosperously with you?
42 Mũtikambate tondũ Jehova ndarĩ hamwe na inyuĩ. Nĩmũkũhootwo nĩ thũ cianyu,
Go not up, for the Lord is not with you: lest you fall before your enemies.
43 nĩgũkorwo andũ a Amaleki na Akaanani nĩmakarũa na inyuĩ kũu. Nĩ ũndũ nĩ mũhutatĩire Jehova, nake ndegũkorwo hamwe na inyuĩ, na nĩmũkũũragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora.”
The Amalecite and the Chanaanite are before you, and by their sword you shall fall, because you would not consent to the Lord, neither will the Lord be with you.
44 No rĩrĩ, nĩ ũndũ wa mwĩĩro wao, makĩambata marorete bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma o na gũkorwo Musa ndoimire kambĩ o na kana ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova rĩkiuma kambĩ.
But they being blinded went up to the top of the mountain. But the ark of the testament of the Lord and Moses departed not from the camp.
45 No rĩrĩ, andũ a Amaleki na Akaanani arĩa maatũũraga bũrũri ũcio ũrĩ irĩma, magĩikũrũka, makĩmatharĩkĩra, na makĩmahũũra mamaikũrũkĩtie o nginya Horoma.
And the Amalecite came down, and the Chanaanite that dwelt in the mountain: and smiting and slaying them pursued them as far as Horma.
