1 Ũtukũ ũcio andũ othe a kĩrĩndĩ gĩa Isiraeli makĩrĩra maanĩrĩire na mũgambo mũnene.
And all the congregation lifts up, and they give forth their voice, and the people weep during 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 sons of Israel murmur against Moses and against Aaron, and all the congregation says to them, “O that we had died in the land of Egypt, or in this wilderness, O that we had died!
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 why is YHWH bringing us to this land to fall by the sword, [that] our wives and our infants become a prey? Is it not good for us to return to Egypt?”
4 Nao makĩĩrana mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ atĩrĩ, “Twagĩrĩirwo nĩ tũthuure mũtongoria tũcooke bũrũri wa Misiri.”
And they say to one another, “Let us appoint a head and return to 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 falls—Aaron also—on their faces, before all the assembly of the congregation of the sons 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 son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, of those spying out the land, have torn their garments,
7 Makĩĩra kĩũngano kĩu gĩothe kĩa andũ a Isiraeli atĩrĩ, “Bũrũri ũrĩa twatuĩkanĩirie na tũkĩũthigana, nĩ bũrũri mwega mũno makĩria.
and they speak to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, saying, “The land into which we have passed over to spy it out [is] a very, very 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 has delighted in us, then He has brought us into this land, and has given it to us, a land which is 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.”
only, do not rebel against YHWH: and you, do not fear the people of the land, for they [are] our bread; their defense has turned aside from off them, and YHWH [is] with us; do not fear them.”
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 says to stone them with stones, and the glory of YHWH has appeared in the Tent of Meeting to all the sons 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 says to Moses, “Until when does this people despise Me? And until when do they not believe in Me, for all the signs which I have done in its midst?
12 Nĩngũmahũũra na mũthiro ndĩmaniine, no wee ngũgũtua rũrĩrĩ rũnene na rũrĩ na hinya kũmakĩra.”
I strike it with pestilence, and dispossess it, and make you become a nation greater and mightier than it.”
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 says to YHWH, “Then the Egyptians have heard! For with Your power You have brought up this people out of their midst,
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 have said [it] to the inhabitant of this land, they have heard that You, YHWH, [are] in the midst of this people, that You are seen eye to eye—O YHWH, and Your cloud is standing over them—and in a pillar of cloud You are going before them 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,
And You have put to death this people as one man, and the nations who have heard Your fame have spoken, saying,
16 ‘Jehova nĩaremirwo nĩgũkinyia andũ aya bũrũri ũrĩa aamerĩire na mwĩhĩtwa; nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩmooragĩra werũ-inĩ.’
From YHWH’s want of ability to bring in this people to the land which He has sworn to them, He slaughters them in the wilderness.
17 “Na rĩrĩ, hinya wa Mwathani ũrokĩonekana o ta ũrĩa ugĩte, atĩrĩ:
And now, please let the power of my Lord be great, as You have 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] 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 and on a 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.”
please forgive the iniquity of this people, according to the greatness of Your kindness, and as You have borne with this people from Egypt, even until now.”
20 Jehova akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ndamarekera o ta ũguo woria.
And YHWH says, “I have forgiven 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 nevertheless, as I live, indeed, the whole earth is 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,
for all the men who are seeing My glory and My signs which I have done in Egypt and in the wilderness, and try Me these ten times, 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.
they do not see the land which I have sworn to their fathers, indeed, none of those despising 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 there has been another spirit with him, and he is fully after Me—I have brought him into the land to where he has entered, and his seed possesses 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.”
And the Amalekite and the Canaanite are dwelling in the valley; tomorrow turn and journey for yourselves into the wilderness—the way of the Red Sea.”
26 Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa na Harũni atĩrĩ:
And YHWH speaks to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
27 “Nĩ nginya hĩndĩ ĩrĩkũ kĩrĩndĩ gĩkĩ kĩaganu gĩgũtũũra kĩĩnugunagĩra? Nĩnjiguĩte mateta ma anugunĩki aya a Isiraeli.
“Until when [do I bear] with this evil congregation—they who are murmuring against Me? The murmurings of the sons of Israel, which they are murmuring against Me, I have heard;
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—a declaration of YHWH—if, as you have spoken in My ears, do I not do so 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 carcasses fall in this wilderness, even all your numbered ones, to all your number, from a son of twenty years and upward, who 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.
you do not come into the land [for] which I have lifted up My hand to cause you to dwell in it, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.
31 No ha ũhoro wa ciana cianyu iria mwoigire atĩ nĩ igaatahwo-rĩ, nĩngamakinyia kuo makenagĩre bũrũri ũcio mũregete.
As for your infants—of whom you have said, They become a spoil—I have even brought them in, and they have known the land which you have kicked against;
32 No inyuĩ-rĩ, ciimba cianyu ikaagũa werũ-inĩ ũyũ.
as for you—your carcasses 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 are shepherding in the wilderness [for] forty years, and have borne your whoredoms until your carcasses are 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.’
by the number of the days [in] which you spied out the land, forty days—a day for a year, a day for a year—you bear your iniquities [for] forty years, and you have known My opposition;
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 spoken; if, nonetheless, I do this to all this evil congregation who are meeting against Me—they are consumed in this wilderness, and there they 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,
Then the men whom Moses has sent to spy out the land, [who] then return and cause all the congregation to murmur against him by bringing out an evil account concerning the land,
37 andũ acio mamemerekirie ũhoro ũcio mũũru wa bũrũri ũcio makĩhũũrwo na mũthiro, magĩkuĩra hau mbere ya Jehova.
even the men bringing out an evil account of the land, they die by the plague before YHWH;
38 Harĩ andũ arĩa maathiĩte gũthigaana bũrũri ũcio, no Joshua mũrũ wa Nuni, na Kalebu mũrũ wa Jefune maatigarire.
and Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh have lived, of those men who go to spy out the land.
39 Rĩrĩa Musa aaheire andũ othe a Isiraeli ũhoro ũcio, makĩgirĩka mũno.
And Moses speaks these words to all the sons of Israel, and the people mourn exceedingly,
40 Mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ rũciinĩ tene makĩambata marorete bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma. Makiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩtwĩhĩtie, nĩtũkwambata tũthiĩ nginya kũrĩa Jehova aatwĩrĩire.”
and they rise early in the morning, and go up to the top of the mountain, saying, “Here we [are], and we have come up to the place which YHWH has spoken of, for we have sinned.”
41 No Musa akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mũraremera watho wa Jehova nĩkĩ? Ũndũ ũyũ ndũngĩgaacĩra!
And Moses says, “Why [is] this [that] you are transgressing the command of YHWH? For it does not prosper;
42 Mũtikambate tondũ Jehova ndarĩ hamwe na inyuĩ. Nĩmũkũhootwo nĩ thũ cianyu,
do not go up, for YHWH is not in your midst, and you are not struck 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 Amalekite and the Canaanite [are] there before you, and you have fallen by the sword, because that you have turned back from after YHWH, and YHWH is not 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.
And they presume to go up to the top of the mountain, but the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH, and Moses, have not departed out of the midst 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 the Amalekite and the Canaanite who are dwelling in that mountain come down and strike them, and beat them down to Hormah.
