< Ọnụọgụgụ 14 >
1 Nʼabalị ahụ, ọgbakọ Izrel niile weliri olu ha bido iti mkpu akwa. Ha kwagidere akwa a abalị niile.
All the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.
2 Ndị Izrel niile tamuru ntamu megide Mosis na Erọn. Ọgbakọ ahụ niile sị ha, “Ọ gaara aka mma ma a sị na anyị nwụrụ nʼala Ijipt maọbụ nʼọzara a.
All the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said to them, "Would that we had died in the land of Egypt, or would that we had died in this wilderness.
3 Gịnị mere Onyenwe anyị ji akpọbata anyị nʼala a ime ka anyị daa nʼihu mma agha. Ndị nwunye anyị na ụmụ anyị ga-aghọ ndị a dọtara nʼagha. Ọ garaghị akara anyị mma ịlaghachi azụ nʼIjipt?”
Why does the LORD bring us to this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will be a prey: wouldn't it be better for us to return into Egypt?"
4 Ya mere ha kwekọrịtara nʼetiti onwe ha sị, “Ka anyị họpụtaranụ onwe anyị onyendu ga-edughachi anyị azụ nʼIjipt.”
And they said to one another, "Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt."
5 Mgbe ahụ, Mosis na Erọn dara kpuo ihu nʼala nʼihu ọgbakọ ndị Izrel niile zukọtara nʼebe ahụ.
Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.
6 Mmadụ abụọ nʼime ndị nledo ahụ, Joshua nwa Nun na Kaleb nwa Jefune, dọwara uwe ha.
Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were of those who spied out the land, tore their clothes:
7 Ha gwara nzukọ Izrel sị, “Ala ahụ anyị gara ledoo anya bụ ala mara mma.
and they spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, "The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceeding good land.
8 Ọ bụrụ na ihe banyere anyị na-atọ Onyenwe anyị ụtọ, ọ ga-edu anyị bata nʼala ahụ, ala mmiri ara ehi na mmanụ aṅụ na-eru na ya.
If the LORD delights in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it to us; a land which flows with milk and honey.
9 Unu enupukwala isi megide Onyenwe anyị. Unu atụkwala egwu ndị bi nʼime ala ahụ, nʼihi na anyị ga-emeri ha. Onyenwe anyị nọnyeere anyị. O wepụkwala aka nchebe ya nʼahụ ha. Unu atụla egwu ha.”
Only do not rebel against the LORD, neither fear the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defense is removed from over them, and the LORD is with us. Do not fear them."
10 Ma naanị nzaghachi ọgbakọ ndị Izrel nyere nʼihi okwu nkasiobi ndị a bụ iche uche otu ha ga-esi jiri nkume tugbuo Joshua na Kaleb. Nʼoge a, ebube Onyenwe anyị pụtara ihe nʼụlọ nzute ahụ nye ndị Izrel niile.
But all the congregation threatened to stone them with stones. Then the glory of the LORD appeared at the Tent of Meeting to all the children of Israel.
11 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị, “Ruo ole mgbe ka ndị a ga-anọgide na-eleda m anya? Ruo ole mgbe ka ha ga-anọ ju ikwenye na m, nʼagbanyeghị ọtụtụ ihe ịrịbama nke m mere nʼetiti ha.
The LORD said to Moses, "How long will this people despise me? And how long will they not believe in me, for all the signs which I have worked among them?
12 Aga m eji nrịa nrịa nke na-efe efe tigbuo ha. Napụ ha ihe ha nwere. Ma aga m emekwa gị ka ị ghọọ mba dị ukwuu, nke ga-adị ukwuu, dịkwa ike karịa ha.”
I will strike them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and I will make of you and your father's house a nation greater and mightier than they."
13 Ma Mosis rịọrọ Onyenwe anyị sị ya, “Gịnị ka ndị Ijipt ga-eche banyere nke a, mgbe ha ga-anụ ya? Ha maara nke ọma otu ị sịrị jiri ike gị napụta ndị a site nʼetiti ha.
Moses said to the LORD, "Then the Egyptians will hear it; for you brought up this people in your might from among them;
14 Ha agwakwala ndị bi nʼobodo ndị a ihe banyere ya. Ndị obodo ndị a anụla ihe banyere gị Onyenwe anyị, matakwa na ị nọnyeere Izrel, na gị bụ Onyenwe anyị na ndị Izrel na-ekwurịta okwu ihu na ihu. Ha anụkwala na ogidi igwe ojii gị Onyenwe anyị na-eguzo nʼelu, nʼisi anyị. Ha matakwara na ị na-edu anyị nʼime ogidi igwe ojii nʼehihie, na nʼime ogidi na-enwu ọkụ nʼabalị.
and they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have heard that you LORD are in the midst of this people; for you LORD are seen face to face, and your cloud stands over them, and you go before them, in a pillar of cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night.
15 Ma ugbu a, ọ bụrụ na i gbusie ndị gị a dum, mba niile nụrụla akụkọ ndị a banyere gị ga-asị,
Now if you killed this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of you will speak, saying,
16 ‘Onyenwe anyị enweghị ike ịkpọbata ndị a nʼala ahụ o kwere nkwa inye ha. Ọ bụ ya mere o ji gbuo ha nʼọzara.’
'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 “Ugbu a ka Onyenwe anyị gosi ike ya dị ukwuu, dịka i si kwuo.
Now please let the power of the Lord be great, according as you have spoken, saying,
18 Onyenwe anyị bụ onye na-adịghị ewe iwe ọsịịsọ, onye jupụtara nʼịhụnanya, onye na-agbaghara mmehie na nnupu isi. Ma ọ dịghị ahapụ onye ikpe mara ka ọ laa na-anataghị ahụhụ, ọ na-ata ụmụ ahụhụ nʼihi mmehie nna nna ha ruo nʼọgbọ nke atọ na nke anọ.
'The LORD is slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, forgiving iniquity and disobedience; and that will by no means clear [the guilty], visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, and upon the children's children, on the third and on the fourth [generation].'
19 Dịka ịdị ukwuu nke ịhụnanya gị si dị; gbaghara mmehie nke ndị a mere, dịka i si agbaghara ha kemgbe ha hapụrụ Ijipt ruo ugbu a.”
Please pardon the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of your loving kindness, and according as you have forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now."
20 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị zaghachiri Mosis sị ya, “Agbagharala m ha dịka ị rịọrọ.
The LORD said, "I have pardoned according to your word.
21 Ma dịka m na-adị ndụ na dịka ọ bụ eziokwu na ụwa niile ga-ejupụta nʼebube Onyenwe anyị.
But truly, as I live, and as all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD;
22 Ọ dịghị otu onye nʼetiti ndị ikom niile hụrụla ebube m, na ọrụ ịrịbama niile m rụrụ nʼime Ijipt, na nʼime ọzara a, ma bụrụ onye nupuru isi nye m na onye nwaara m ugboro iri ndị a,
because all those men who have seen my glory, and my signs, which I worked in Egypt and in the wilderness, yet have tempted me these ten times, and have not listened to my voice;
23 o nweghị onye ọbụla nʼime ha ga-ahụ ala ahụ m sitere nʼịṅụ iyi kwee nkwa inye nna nna ha. O nweghị onye ọbụla nʼime ndị a lelịrị m ga-ahụ ala ahụ anya.
surely they shall not see the land which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any of those who despised me see it:
24 Ma ohu m nwoke Kaleb bụ nwoke nwere mmụọ dị iche. O rubeere m isi nʼihe niile. Aga m akpọbata ya nʼala ahụ ọ banyere dịka onye nledo. Ụmụ ụmụ ya niile ga-eketa ya.
but my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and has followed me fully, him will I bring into the land into which he went; and his descendants shall possess it.
25 Ma ugbu a, ebe ndị Izrel na-atụ ndị Amalek na ndị Kenan bi nʼime ndagwurugwu ahụ egwu, echi, unu ga-atụgharịa laghachi azụ nʼọzara ahụ; chee ụzọ gaje Osimiri Uhie ahụ ihu.”
Now the Amalekite and the Canaanite dwell in the valley: tomorrow turn, and go into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea."
26 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis na Erọn okwu sị,
The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
27 “Ruo ole mgbe ka ọgbakọ ọjọọ a ga-anọgide na-atamu ntamu megide m? Nʼihi na anụla m ntamu niile nke ndị Izrel a.
"How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, that murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.
28 Gwa ha si, ‘Dị ka m na-adị ndụ, ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri, aga m emeso unu mmeso dịka unu kwunyere ya na ntị m.
Tell them, 'As I live, says the LORD, surely as you have spoken in my ears, so will I do to you:
29 Unu niile ga-anwụpịa nʼime ọzara a! Onye ọbụla nʼime unu niile gbarala iri afọ abụọ maọbụ karịa, nke tamuru ntamu megide m.
your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness; and all who were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, who have murmured against me,
30 O nweghị onye ọbụla nʼime unu ga-abanye nʼala ahụ, m sitere nʼaka m welie elu ṅụọ iyi ime ka ọ bụrụ ebe obibi unu, karịa Kaleb nwa Jefune na Joshua nwa Nun.
surely you shall not come into the land, concerning which I swore that I would make you dwell in it, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
31 Ma ebe unu tụrụ egwu sị na ụmụ unu na-aga ibu ndị ohu nye ndị bi nʼala ahụ. Lee na aga m edubata ha nʼime ala ahụ. Ha ga-eketakwa ala ahụ unu jụrụ, nke unu ledara anya.
But your little ones, that you said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which you have rejected.
32 Ma unu onwe unu, ozu unu ga-ada aghara aghara nʼọzara a.
But as for you, your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness.
33 Ụmụ unu ga-abụkwa ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ nʼime ọzara a iri afọ anọ, na-ata ahụhụ nʼihi ekwesighị ntụkwasị obi, ruo mgbe ozu onye ikpeazụ nʼime unu ga-atọgbọrọ nʼime ọzara.
Your children shall be wanderers in the wilderness forty years, and shall bear your prostitution, until your dead bodies be consumed in the wilderness.
34 Iri afọ anọ ka unu ga-ata ahụhụ nʼihi mmehie unu, matakwa ihe ọ pụtara bụ mụ iguzo megide unu, ya bụ otu afọ ga-anọchi otu ụbọchị nʼime iri ụbọchị anọ ahụ unu ji ledoo ala ahụ anya.
After the number of the days in which you spied out the land, even forty days, for every day a year, you will bear your iniquities, even forty years, and you will know my alienation.'
35 Mụ onwe m, bụ Onyenwe anyị, ekwuola ya. Nke a ka m na-aghaghị ime ka ọ dakwasị ajọ nzukọ ndị a, bụ ndị gbakọrọ megide m. Ha ga-ezute ọgwụgwụ ha nʼọzara, nʼebe a ka ha ga-anwụ.’”
I, the LORD, have spoken, surely this will I do to all this evil congregation, who are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die."
36 Ya mere ndị ahụ Mosis zipụrụ iledo ala ahụ, ndị ahụ lọtara mee ka ọgbakọ ụmụ Izrel tamuo ntamu nʼihi akụkọ ọjọọ ha gbasara.
The men, whom Moses sent to spy out the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up an evil report against the land,
37 Ndị ikom ndị ahụ e si nʼọnụ ha gbasaa akụkọ ọjọọ banyere ala ahụ, ka e ji nrịa nrịa na-efe efe tigbuo nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.
even those men who brought up an evil report of the land, died by the plague before the LORD.
38 Nʼime ndị ikom gara ledoo ala ahụ anya, ọ bụ naanị Joshua nwa Nun na Kaleb nwa Jefune fọdụrụ ndụ.
But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, remained alive of those men who went to spy out the land.
39 Mgbe Mosis gwara ụmụ Izrel okwu niile si nʼọnụ Onyenwe anyị, ha ruru ụjụ dị ilu.
Moses told these words to all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly.
40 Nʼisi ụtụtụ echi ya, ha biliri nʼoge bulie ije ịga nʼala ugwu ugwu ahụ. Ha sịrị, “Anyị emehiela. Ugbu a anyị ejikerela ije nʼala ahụ Onyenwe anyị kwere anyị nkwa.”
They rose up early in the morning, and went up to the top of the mountain, saying, "Look, we are here, and will go up to the place which the LORD has promised: for we have sinned."
41 Ma Mosis zara sị ha, “Gịnị mere unu ji enupu isi nʼiwu Onyenwe anyị nyere? Nke a agaghị aga nke ọma.
Moses said, "Why now do you disobey the commandment of the LORD, since it shall not prosper?
42 Unu arịgokwala, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị anọghị nʼetiti unu. Ndị iro unu ga-emerikwa unu.
Do not go up, for the LORD isn't among you; that you not be struck down before your enemies.
43 Nʼihi na ndị Amalek na ndị Kenan nọ na-eche unu nʼebe ahụ! Ebe ọ bụ na unu esitela nʼebe Onyenwe anyị nọ wezuga onwe unu, ọ gaghị anọnyere unu, unu ga-adakwa nʼihu mma agha.”
For there the Amalekite and the Canaanite are before you, and you shall fall by the sword: because you are turned back from following the LORD, therefore the LORD will not be with you."
44 Nʼagbanyeghịkwa nke a, na ha enweghị nkwado. Ha rigooro ruo ebe kachasị elu nʼobodo ahụ dị nʼugwu, ọ bụ ezie na Mosis maọbụ igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị esighị nʼọmụma ụlọ ikwu ahụ pụọ.
But they presumed to go up to the top of the mountain: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and Moses, did not depart out of the camp.
45 Mgbe ahụ, ndị Amalek na ndị Kenan bụ ndị bi nʼobodo ugwu ahụ, rịdatara lụso ha ọgụ. Tidaa ha nʼala ruo Homa.
Then the Amalekite came down, and the Canaanite who lived in that mountain, and struck them and beat them down, even to Hormah.
