< Ndari 14 >
1 Ũtukũ ũcio andũ othe a kĩrĩndĩ gĩa Isiraeli makĩrĩra maanĩrĩire na mũgambo mũnene.
And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people 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 against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would Elohim that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would Elohim we had died in this wilderness!
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?”
And wherefore hath YHWH brought us unto 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 Nao makĩĩrana mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ atĩrĩ, “Twagĩrĩirwo nĩ tũthuure mũtongoria tũcooke bũrũri wa Misiri.”
And they said one to another, Let us make 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.
Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation 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.
And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes:
7 Makĩĩra kĩũngano kĩu gĩothe kĩa andũ a Isiraeli atĩrĩ, “Bũrũri ũrĩa twatuĩkanĩirie na tũkĩũthigana, nĩ bũrũri mwega mũno makĩria.
And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land.
8 Jehova angĩkorwo nĩakenetio nĩ ithuĩ, nĩegũtũtongoria tũtoonye bũrũri ũcio, bũrũri ũcio ũiyũrĩte bũthi wa iria na ũũkĩ, na nĩegũtũhe guo ũtuĩke witũ.
If YHWH delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth 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.”
Only rebel not ye against YHWH, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and YHWH is with us: fear them 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.
But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And the glory of YHWH appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before 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 YHWH said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have shewed among them?
12 Nĩngũmahũũra na mũthiro ndĩmaniine, no wee ngũgũtua rũrĩrĩ rũnene na rũrĩ na hinya kũmakĩra.”
I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.
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 unto YHWH, Then the Egyptians shall hear it, (for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them; )
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 they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they have heard that thou YHWH art among this people, that thou YHWH art seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, 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,
Now if thou shalt kill all this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying,
16 ‘Jehova nĩaremirwo nĩgũkinyia andũ aya bũrũri ũrĩa aamerĩire na mwĩhĩtwa; nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩmooragĩra werũ-inĩ.’
Because YHWH was not able to bring this people into the land which he sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness.
17 “Na rĩrĩ, hinya wa Mwathani ũrokĩonekana o ta ũrĩa ugĩte, atĩrĩ:
And now, I beseech thee, let the power of YHWH be great, according as thou hast spoken, 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.’
YHWH is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity 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.”
Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.
20 Jehova akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ndamarekera o ta ũguo woria.
And YHWH said, I have pardoned 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,
But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of YHWH.
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,
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 hearkened to 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.
Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see 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.
But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; 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.”
(Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.) To morrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
26 Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa na Harũni atĩrĩ:
And YHWH spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
27 “Nĩ nginya hĩndĩ ĩrĩkũ kĩrĩndĩ gĩkĩ kĩaganu gĩgũtũũra kĩĩnugunagĩra? Nĩnjiguĩte mateta ma anugunĩki aya a Isiraeli.
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 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 unto them, As truly as I live, saith YHWH, as ye have spoken in mine ears, 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.
Your carcases 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 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.
Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua 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 little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised.
32 No inyuĩ-rĩ, ciimba cianyu ikaagũa werũ-inĩ ũyũ.
But as for you, your carcases, they shall fall in this 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.
And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness.
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.’
After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.
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.”
I YHWH have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall 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,
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 upon the land,
37 andũ acio mamemerekirie ũhoro ũcio mũũru wa bũrũri ũcio makĩhũũrwo na mũthiro, magĩkuĩra hau mbere ya Jehova.
Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died by the plague before YHWH.
38 Harĩ andũ arĩa maathiĩte gũthigaana bũrũri ũcio, no Joshua mũrũ wa Nuni, na Kalebu mũrũ wa Jefune maatigarire.
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 Rĩrĩa Musa aaheire andũ othe a Isiraeli ũhoro ũcio, makĩgirĩka mũno.
And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly.
40 Mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ rũciinĩ tene makĩambata marorete bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma. Makiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩtwĩhĩtie, nĩtũkwambata tũthiĩ nginya kũrĩa Jehova aatwĩrĩire.”
And they rose up early in the morning, and got them up into the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we be here, and will go up unto the place which YHWH hath promised: for we have sinned.
41 No Musa akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mũraremera watho wa Jehova nĩkĩ? Ũndũ ũyũ ndũngĩgaacĩra!
And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of YHWH? but it shall not prosper.
42 Mũtikambate tondũ Jehova ndarĩ hamwe na inyuĩ. Nĩmũkũhootwo nĩ thũ cianyu,
Go not up, for YHWH is not among you; that ye be not smitten 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.”
For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away from YHWH, therefore YHWH will not 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 presumed to go up unto the hill top: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of YHWH, and Moses, departed not out of the camp.
45 No rĩrĩ, andũ a Amaleki na Akaanani arĩa maatũũraga bũrũri ũcio ũrĩ irĩma, magĩikũrũka, makĩmatharĩkĩra, na makĩmahũũra mamaikũrũkĩtie o nginya Horoma.
Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which dwelt in that hill, and smote them, and discomfited them, even unto Hormah.
