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 [God prevails] murmured against Moses [Drawn out] and against Aaron [Light-bringer]. The whole congregation said to them, “We wish that we had died in the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], or 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 Adonai bring us to this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will be captured or killed! Wouldn’t it be better for us to teshuvah ·completely return· into Egypt [Abode of slavery]?”
4 Ya mere ha kwekọrịtara nʼetiti onwe ha sị, “Ka anyị họpụtaranụ onwe anyị onyendu ga-edughachi anyị azụ nʼIjipt.”
They said to one another, “Let us make a captain, and let us teshuvah ·completely return· into Egypt [Abode of slavery].”
5 Mgbe ahụ, Mosis na Erọn dara kpuo ihu nʼala nʼihu ọgbakọ ndị Izrel niile zukọtara nʼebe ahụ.
Then Moses [Drawn out] and Aaron [Light-bringer] fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel [God prevails].
6 Mmadụ abụọ nʼime ndị nledo ahụ, Joshua nwa Nun na Kaleb nwa Jefune, dọwara uwe ha.
Joshua [Yah Salvation] the son of Nun and Caleb [Dog] 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.
They spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel [God prevails], 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 Adonai 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 don’t rebel against Adonai, neither fear the people of the land; for they are bread for us. Their defense is removed from over them, and Adonai is with us. Don’t 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. The kavod Yahweh ·weighty glory of He sustains breathing· appeared in the Tent of Meeting to all the children of Israel [God prevails].
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.
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “How long will this people despise me? and how long will they not trust 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 will make of you 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 [Drawn out] said to Adonai, “Then the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] will sh'ma ·hear obey· 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.
They will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· that you Adonai are in the middle of this people; for you Adonai 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 sh'ma ·heard obeyed· 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 Adonai 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 'Adonay [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.
‘Adonai is slow to anger, and abundant in chesed ·loving-kindness·, forgiving depravity (moral evil) and rebellious breach of relationship; and that will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the depravity (moral evil) of the fathers on the 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 depravity (moral evil) of this people according to the greatness of your chesed ·loving-kindness·, and according as you have forgiven this people, from Egypt [Abode of slavery] even until now.”
20 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị zaghachiri Mosis sị ya, “Agbagharala m ha dịka ị rịọrọ.
Adonai 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 in very deed, as I live, and as all the earth shall be filled with the kavod Yahweh ·weighty glory of He sustains breathing·;
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 [Abode of slavery] and in the wilderness, yet have tempted me these ten times, and have not sh'ma ·heard obeyed· 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 [Dog], because he had another spirit with him, and has followed me fully, him I will bring into the land into which he went. His offspring 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.”
Since the Amalekite [Descendant of Man who licks up] and the Canaanite [Descendant of Humbled] dwell in the valley, tomorrow turn, and go into the wilderness by the way to the Sea of Suf [Reed Sea].”
26 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis na Erọn okwu sị,
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out] and to Aaron [Light-bringer], 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 sh'ma ·heard obeyed· the murmurings of the children of Israel [God prevails], 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 Adonai, 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 counted 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 therein, except Caleb [Dog] the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua [Yah Salvation] 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 captured or killed, them I will 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 are 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 depravities (moral evils), 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, Adonai, have spoken. I will surely do this 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 [Drawn out] sent to spy out the land, who teshuvah ·completely 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 Adonai.
38 Nʼime ndị ikom gara ledoo ala ahụ anya, ọ bụ naanị Joshua nwa Nun na Kaleb nwa Jefune fọdụrụ ndụ.
But Joshua [Yah Salvation] the son of Nun, and Caleb [Dog] 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 [Drawn out] told these words to all the children of Israel [God prevails], 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, “Behold, we are here, and will go up to the place which Adonai has promised: for we have sinned ·deviated (from the standard goal)·.”
41 Ma Mosis zara sị ha, “Gịnị mere unu ji enupu isi nʼiwu Onyenwe anyị nyere? Nke a agaghị aga nke ọma.
Moses [Drawn out] said, “Why are you disobeying the order of Adonai? You shall not succeed!
42 Unu arịgokwala, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị anọghị nʼetiti unu. Ndị iro unu ga-emerikwa unu.
Don’t go up, for Adonai is not 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 [Descendant of Man who licks up] and the Canaanite [Descendant of Humbled] are before you, and you shall fall by the sword, because you turned back from following Adonai, therefore Adonai 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 Adonai’s covenant and Moses [Drawn out] didn’t 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 Amalekites [Descendants of Man who licks up] came down, and the Canaanites [Descendants of Humbled] who lived in that mountain, and struck them and beat them down, even to Hormah.
