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 all 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; and all the congregation said to them,
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 we had died in the land of Egypt! or in this wilderness, would we had died! and why does the Lord bring us into this land to fall in war? our wives and our children shall be for a prey: now then it is 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 make a ruler, and 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 Moses and Aaron fell upon their face before all 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.
But Joshua the [son] of Naue, and Chaleb the [son] of Jephonne, of [the number of] them that spied out the land, tore their garments,
7 Makĩĩra kĩũngano kĩu gĩothe kĩa andũ a Isiraeli atĩrĩ, “Bũrũri ũrĩa twatuĩkanĩirie na tũkĩũthigana, nĩ bũrũri mwega mũno makĩria.
and spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, The land which we surveyed is indeed extremely 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 choose us, he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which flows 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 depart not from the Lord; and fear you not the people of the land, for they are meat for us; for the season [of prosperity] is departed from them, but the Lord [is] among 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.
And all the congregation bade stone them with stones; and the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud on the tabernacle of witness 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 does this people provoke me? and how long do they refuse to believe me for all the signs which I have wrought among them?
12 Nĩngũmahũũra na mũthiro ndĩmaniine, no wee ngũgũtua rũrĩrĩ rũnene na rũrĩ na hinya kũmakĩra.”
I will strike them with death, and destroy them; and I will make of you and of your father's house a great nation, and much greater than this.
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, So Egypt shall hear, for you have brought up this people from them by your might.
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.
Moreover all the dwellers upon this land have heard that you are Lord in the midst of this people, who, O Lord, are seen [by them] face to face, and your cloud rests upon them, and you go before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, and by night in a pillar of fire.
15 Ũngĩũraga andũ aya othe o ro rĩmwe-rĩ, ndũrĩrĩ iria ciiguĩte ũhoro ũyũ waku nĩikoiga atĩrĩ,
And [if] you shall destroy this nation as one man; then all the nations that have heard your name shall speak, saying,
16 ‘Jehova nĩaremirwo nĩgũkinyia andũ aya bũrũri ũrĩa aamerĩire na mwĩhĩtwa; nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩmooragĩra werũ-inĩ.’
Because the Lord could not bring this people into the land which he sware to them, he has overthrown them in the wilderness.
17 “Na rĩrĩ, hinya wa Mwathani ũrokĩonekana o ta ũrĩa ugĩte, atĩrĩ:
And now, O Lord, let your strength be exalted, as you spoke, 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] longsuffering and merciful, and true, removing transgressions and iniquities and sins, and he will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the sins of the fathers upon the children to 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 this people their sin according to your great mercy, as you were favourable to them from Egypt until now.
20 Jehova akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ndamarekera o ta ũguo woria.
And the Lord said to Moses, I am gracious to them according to your 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] I live and my name is living, so the glory of the Lord shall fill all the earth.
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,
For all the men who see my glory, and the signs which I wrought in Egypt, and in the wilderness, and have tempted me this tenth time, and have not listened 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 to their fathers; but their children which are with me here, as many as know not good or evil, every inexperienced youth, to them will I give the land; but none who have provoked me shall 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 Chaleb, because there was another spirit in him, and he followed me, I will bring him into the land into which he entered, and his seed shall inherit 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.”
But Amalec and the Chananite dwell in the valley: to-morrow turn and depart for 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 [shall I endure] this wicked congregation? I have heard their murmurings against me, [even] the murmuring of the children of Israel, which they have murmured concerning you.
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 to them, [As] I live, says the Lord: surely as you spoke into my 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 those of you that were reviewed, and those of you that were numbered from twenty years old and upward, all that 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.
you shall not enter into the land for which I stretched out my hand to establish you upon it; except only Chaleb the son of Jephonne, and Joshua the [son] of Naue.
31 No ha ũhoro wa ciana cianyu iria mwoigire atĩ nĩ igaatahwo-rĩ, nĩngamakinyia kuo makenagĩre bũrũri ũcio mũregete.
And your little ones, who you said should be a prey, them will I bring into the land; and they shall inherit the land, which you rejected.
32 No inyuĩ-rĩ, ciimba cianyu ikaagũa werũ-inĩ ũyũ.
And your carcases 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 sons shall be fed in the wilderness forty years, and they shall bear your fornication, until your carcases be consumed 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.’
According to the number of the days during which you spied the land, forty days, a day for a year, you shall bear your sins forty years, and you shall know my fierce anger.
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 the Lord have spoken, Surely will I do thus to this evil congregation that has risen up together against me: in this wilderness they shall be utterly 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 whom Moses sent to spy out the land, and who came and murmured against it to the assembly so as to bring out evil words concerning the land, —
37 andũ acio mamemerekirie ũhoro ũcio mũũru wa bũrũri ũcio makĩhũũrwo na mũthiro, magĩkuĩra hau mbere ya Jehova.
the men that spoke evil reports against the land, even died of the plague before the Lord.
38 Harĩ andũ arĩa maathiĩte gũthigaana bũrũri ũcio, no Joshua mũrũ wa Nuni, na Kalebu mũrũ wa Jefune maatigarire.
And Joshua the son of Naue and Chaleb the son of Jephonne [still] lived of those men that went to spy out the land.
39 Rĩrĩa Musa aaheire andũ othe a Isiraeli ũhoro ũcio, makĩgirĩka mũno.
And Moses spoke 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 they rose early in the morning and went up to the top of the mountain, saying, Behold, we that are here will go up to the place of which the Lord has spoken, because we have sinned.
41 No Musa akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mũraremera watho wa Jehova nĩkĩ? Ũndũ ũyũ ndũngĩgaacĩra!
And Moses said, Why do you transgress the word of the Lord? you shall not prosper.
42 Mũtikambate tondũ Jehova ndarĩ hamwe na inyuĩ. Nĩmũkũhootwo nĩ thũ cianyu,
Go not up, for the Lord is not with you; so shall you fall before the face of 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 Amalec and the Chananite [are] there before you, and you shall fall by the sword; because you have disobeyed the Lord and turned aside, and the Lord will not be among 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.
And having forced their passage, they went up to the top of the mountain; but the ark of the covenant of the Lord and Moses stirred 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.
And Amalec and the Chananite that lived in that mountain came down, and routed them, and destroyed them to Herman; and they returned to the camp.
