Ọnụọgụgụ 14

1 Nʼabalị ahụ, ọgbakọ Izrel niile weliri olu ha bido iti mkpu akwa. Ha kwagidere akwa a abalị niile.

Then did all the assembly lift up, and give forth their voice, —and the people wept throughout 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.

And all the sons of Israel, murmured against Moses and against Aaron, —and all the assembly said unto them—Oh that we had died in the land of Egypt, Or in this wilderness, oh that we had died!

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?”

Wherefore then is Yahweh bringing us into this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and little ones, will become a prey! Would it not be well for us to go back towards Egypt?

4 Ya mere ha kwekọrịtara nʼetiti onwe ha sị, “Ka anyị họpụtaranụ onwe anyị onyendu ga-edughachi anyị azụ nʼIjipt.”

And they said, one to another, —Let us appoint a head and let us go back towards Egypt.

5 Mgbe ahụ, Mosis na Erọn dara kpuo ihu nʼala nʼihu ọgbakọ ndị Izrel niile zukọtara nʼebe ahụ.

Then did Moses and Aaron fall upon their faces, —before all the convocation of the assembly of the sons of Israel.

6 Mmadụ abụọ nʼime ndị nledo ahụ, Joshua nwa Nun na Kaleb nwa Jefune, dọwara uwe ha.

But, Joshua son of Nun, and Caleb son of Jephunneh, of them who spied out the land, rent their clothes;

7 Ha gwara nzukọ Izrel sị, “Ala ahụ anyị gara ledoo anya bụ ala mara mma.

and spake unto all the assembly of the sons of Israel, saying, —As for the land through which we passed to spy it out, Good, is the land, exceedingly,

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 Yahweh delight in us, then will he bring us into this land, and give it unto us, —A land which doth flow 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 against Yahweh, do not rebel. Do not, ye, fear the people of the land, For our food, they are, —Their shade hath departed, from over them. And Yahweh 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 when all the assembly bade stone them with stones, the glory of Yahweh, appeared, in the tent of meeting, unto all the sons 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.

Then said Yahweh unto Moses How long! must this people, despise me? And how long can they not believe in me. in view of all the signs which I have done in their midst?

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.”

Let me smite them with pestilence, and disinherit them, —And make thee into a nation greater and more mighty 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.

Then said Moses unto Yahweh, —So shall the Egyptians hear, For thou hast brought up. in thy might, this people out of their midst;

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 will tell it unto the inhabitants of this land: They have heard, That, thou, Yahweh, art in the midst of this people, —That eye to eye, is he seen—thou, Yahweh, And thy cloud, is standing over them, And in a pillar of cloud, thou thyself, art going on before them 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,

As soon, therefore, as thou hast put to death this people as one man, so soon will the nations who have heard thy fame 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 Yahweh, was not able, to bring in this people into the land which he had sworn unto them, therefore did he slay them in the desert.

17 “Ugbu a ka Onyenwe anyị gosi ike ya dị ukwuu, dịka i si kwuo.

Now, therefore, I beseech thee let the might of My Lord, be magnified, —according as thou didst speak 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.

Yahweh—slow to anger and great in lovingkindness, Forgiving iniquity and transgression: Though he will not leave, wholly unpunished, Visiting the iniquity of fathers upon sons, Upon a third generation, and upon a fourth.

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.”

Pardon I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people, According to the greatness of thy lovingkindness, —And according as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even thus far.

20 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị zaghachiri Mosis sị ya, “Agbagharala m ha dịka ị rịọrọ.

And Yahweh said, I have pardoned according to thy word;

21 Ma dịka m na-adị ndụ na dịka ọ bụ eziokwu na ụwa niile ga-ejupụta nʼebube Onyenwe anyị.

Nevertheless as I live, —and that all the earth may be filled with the glory of Yahweh,

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,

Verily, none of the men who have been beholding my glory and my signs, which I have done in Egypt and in the desert, —and have put me to the proof these ten times, and have not hearkened unto 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.

shall see the land, which I sware to their fathers, —yea, none of my despisers, shall 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 there was another spirit with him, and he followed me fully, therefore will I bring him into the land whereinto he entered, and his seed, 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 Amalekites and the Canaanites, are dwelling in the valley, —to-morrow, turn ye away; and set yourselves forward towards the desert by the way of the Red Sea.

26 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis na Erọn okwu sị,

Then spake Yahweh unto Moses and unto 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, as regardeth this evil assembly, are they to be murmuring against me? The murmuring of the sons of Israel which, they, have been murmuring against me, have I heard,

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.

Say unto them: As I live, is the oracle of Yahweh: Surely as ye have spoken in mine ears, so, will I do unto 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.

In this desert, shall your dead bodies fall And none of you who were numbered in all your counting, from twenty years old and upwards, —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.

none of you, shall enter into the land, as to which I uplifted my hand to give you an abode therein, —save Caleb son of Jephunneh, and Joshua, 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.

whereas, your little ones, of whom ye said, they should become, a prey, I will bring them in, and they shall acknowledge the land which ye refused.

32 Ma unu onwe unu, ozu unu ga-ada aghara aghara nʼọzara a.

But, your own dead bodies, shall fall in this desert;

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.

and your sons, shall be shepherds in the desert forty years, and shall bear your unchastities, —until your dead bodies are consumed in the desert.

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.

By the number of the days wherein ye spied out the land—forty days, each day for a year, shall they bear your iniquities—forty years, —so shall ye know my opposition.

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—Yahweh, have spoken, Verily this, will I do to all this evil assembly, who have conspired against me, —In this desert, shall they be consumed And there, shall they 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.

Now as for the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land, —who returned and caused all the assembly to murmur against him by giving out a rumour 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.

they died—the men who gave out an evil rumour of the land, —by the plague, before Yahweh.

38 Nʼime ndị ikom gara ledoo ala ahụ anya, ọ bụ naanị Joshua nwa Nun na Kaleb nwa Jefune fọdụrụ ndụ.

But, Joshua son of Nun, and Caleb 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.

And Moses spake these words unto all the sons of Israel, and the people were greatly depressed.

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.”

So they arose early in the morning, and went up into the top of the mountain, saying, —We are here—therefore will we go up into the place as to which Yahweh hath said that 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.

But Moses said, Wherefore is it that, ye, are going beyond the bidding of Yahweh, —since that cannot prosper?

42 Unu arịgokwala, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị anọghị nʼetiti unu. Ndị iro unu ga-emerikwa unu.

Do not go up, For Yahweh is not in your midst, —Lest ye be smitten 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, the Amalekites and the Canaanites, are there before you, So shall ye fall by the sword, —For inasmuch as ye have turned back from following Yahweh, Therefore will Yahweh 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 presumptuously ascended into the top of the mountain, —though, neither, the ark of the covenant of Yahweh nor Moses moved out of the midst 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.

So ten the Amalekites and the Canaanites, that dwelt in that mountain, came down, —and smote them and routed them even unto Hormah.
