Numero 14
1 Iti dayta a rabii, nagsangit iti napigsa dagiti amin a tattao.
That night, all the Israeli people cried loudly.
2 Inuyaw dagiti amin a tattao ti Israel da Moises ken Aaron. Kinuna dagiti tattao kadakuada, “Nataykami la koman idiay daga iti Egipto, wenno iti daytoy a let-ang!
The next day they all complained to Aaron and Moses/me. All the men said, “We wish that we had died in Egypt, or in this desert!
3 Apay nga impannakami ni Yahweh iti daytoy a daga a matay babaen iti kampilan? Agbalin a biktima dagiti assawa ken dagiti annakmi. Saan kadi a nasaysayaat nga agsublikami idiay Egipto?”
Why is Yahweh bringing us to this land, where we men will be killed with swords? And our wives and children will be taken away [to be slaves]. [Instead of going to Canaan]. It would be better for us to return to Egypt!”
4 Kinunada iti tunggal maysa, “Mangpilitayo iti sabali a pangulo, ket agsublitayo idiay Egipto.”
Then [some of] them said to each other, “We should choose a leader who will take us back to Egypt!”
5 Ket nagpakleb da Moises ken Aaron iti sangoanan dagiti amin a gimong dagiti tattao ti Israel.
Then Aaron and Moses/I bowed down [to pray] in front of all the Israeli people who had gathered there.
6 Ni Josue nga anak a lalaki ni Nun ken ni Caleb nga anak a lalaki ni Jefone, a dadduma kadagiti naibaon a mangsukimat iti daga, ket rinay-abda dagiti badoda.
Joshua and Caleb, two of the men who had explored the land, tore their clothes [because they were very dismayed].
7 Nagsaoda kadagiti amin a tattao ti Israel. Kinunada, “Ti daga a napananmi ken sinukimatmi ket nasayaat unay.
They said to the Israeli people, “The land that we explored is very good.
8 No maay-ayo ni Yahweh kadatayo, ipannatayo ngarud iti daytoy a daga ket itedna daytoy kadatayo. Ti daga nga agay-ayus iti gatas ken diro.
If Yahweh is pleased with us, he will lead us into that very fertile [IDM] land, and he will give it to us.
9 Ngem saankayo nga agsukir kenni Yahweh, ken saankayo nga agbuteng kadagiti tattao iti daga. Ibusentayo ida a kas kalaka ti pannangan iti taraon. Maikkatto kadakuada ti salaknibda, gapu ta adda kadatayo ni Yahweh. Saankayo nga agbuteng kadakuada.”
So do not rebel against Yahweh! And do not be afraid of the people in that land! We will (gobble them up/completely destroy them) [MET]! They do not have anyone who will protect them, but Yahweh will be with us [and help us]. So do not be afraid of them!”
10 Ngem binutbuteng ida dagiti amin a tattao a batoenda ida agingga a matayda. Ket nagparang ti dayag ni Yahweh idiay tabernakulo kadagiti amin a tattao ti Israel.
Then all the Israeli people talked about [killing Caleb and Joshua by] throwing stones at them. But [suddenly] Yahweh’s glory appeared to them at the Sacred Tent.
11 Kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Moises, “Kasano pay kabayag ti panangumsi dagitoy a tattao kaniak? Kasano pay kabayag ti saanda a panagtalek kaniak, iti laksid dagiti amin nga inaramidko kadakuada a pagilasinan iti pannakabalinko?
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “How long will these people reject me [RHQ]? I am tired of them not believing in what I [can do], in spite of all the miracles I have performed among them [RHQ]!
12 Darupek ida babaen kadagiti didigra, ikkatek dagiti tawidda, ken manipud iti pulim mangaramidak iti maysa a nasion a dakdakkel ken nabilbileg ngem isuda.”
So I will cause a (plague/widespread sickness) to strike them and get rid of them. But I will cause your [descendants] to become a great nation. They will be a nation that is much greater and stronger than these people are.”
13 Kinuna ni Moises kenni Yahweh, “No aramidem daytoy, ket mangeg dagiti Egipcio ti maipanggep iti daytoy, gapu ta insalakanmo dagitoy a tattao manipud kadakuada babaen iti pannakabalinmo.
But Moses/I replied to Yahweh, “[Please do not do that, because] the people of Egypt will hear about it! You brought these Israeli people from Egypt by your great power,
14 Ibagadanto kadagiti agnanaed iti daytoy a daga. Nangngegda a sika, O Yahweh ket adda kadagitoy a tattao, gapu ta nakitadaka iti rupan-rupa. Agtalinaed ti ulepmo iti ngatoen dagiti tattaomi. Umun-unaka ngem isuda babaen iti adigi nga ulep iti aldaw ken iti adigi nga apuy iti rabii.
and the people of Egypt will tell that to the [descendants of Canaan] who live in this land. Yahweh, they have already heard about you. They know that you have (been with/helped) these people and that they have seen you face-to-face. They have heard that your cloud is like a huge pillar that stays over them, and by using that cloud you lead them during the day, and the cloud becomes like a fire at night [to give them light].
15 Ita no patayem dagitoy a tattao a kas maysa a tao, ket agsao ken ibaga dagiti nasion a nakangngeg iti kinalatakmo a,
If you kill these people all at one time, the people-groups who have heard about your [power] will say,
16 'Gapu ta saan a maipan ni Yahweh dagitoy a tattao iti daga nga inkarina nga itedna kadakuada, pinatayna ida idiay let-ang.'
‘Yahweh was not able to bring them into the land that he promised to give to them, so he killed them in the desert.’
17 Ita, agpakpakaasiak kenka, usarem ti naindaklan a pannakabalinmo. Ta kinunam,
“So Yahweh, now show that you are very powerful. You said,
18 “Saan a nalaka nga agunget ni Yahweh ken aglaplapusanan ti kinapudnona iti tulagna. Pakpakawanenna ti pagkurkurangan ken pagbasbasolan. Ikkatenna dagiti nagbasol inton iyegna kadagiti kaputotanda ti dusa ti basol dagiti kapuonanda, kadagiti maikatlo ken maika-uppat a henerasion.'
‘I do not quickly become angry; instead, I love people very much, and I forgive people for having sinned and having disobeyed my laws. But I will always punish [LIT] people who are guilty of doing what is wrong. When parents sin, I will punish them, but I will also punish their children and their grandchildren and their great-grandchildren and their great-great-grandchildren.’
19 Agpakaasiak kenka a pakawanem ti basol dagitoy a tattao gapu iti naindaklan a kinapudnom iti tulagmo, kas iti kanayon a panangpakawanmo kadagitoy a tattao manipud idi addada pay laeng idiay Egipto agingga ita.”
So, because you love people like that, forgive these people for the sins that they have committed, just like you have continued to forgive them ever since they left Egypt.”
20 Kinuna ni Yahweh, “Pinakawanko ida kas iti dinawatmo,
Then Yahweh replied, “I have forgiven them, as you requested me to.
21 ngem iti kinapudnona, iti panagbibiagko, ken kas mapunno iti dayagko ti entero a daga,
But, just as certainly as I live and that people all over the world [can see] my (glory/glorious power), [I solemnly declare this: ]
22 amin dagiti tattao a nakakita ti dayagko ken dagiti pagilasinan iti pannakabalin nga inaramidko idiay Egipto ken idiay let-ang—sinuotdak latta dagitoy iti naminsangapulo ken saanda a dimngeg iti timekko.
All these people saw my glory and all the miracles that I performed in Egypt and in the desert, but they disobeyed me, and many times they tested [whether they could continue to do evil things without my punishing them].
23 Isu nga ibagak a sigurado a saandanto a makita ti daga nga inkarik kadagiti kapuonanda. Awan ti uray maysa kadakuada a nangumsi kaniak ti makakita iti daytoy,
Because of that, not one of them will see the land that I promised their ancestors [that I would give to them]. No one who rejected me will see that land.
24 malaksid kenni Caleb nga adipenko, gapu ta adda sabali nga espirituna. Naan-anay a sinurotnak; ipankonto isuna iti daga a napanna sinukimat. Tagikuaento daytoy dagiti kaputotanna.
But Caleb, who serves me [well], is different from the others. He obeys me completely. So I will bring him into that land that he has already seen, and his descendants will inherit/possess some of it.
25 (Ita, agnanaed dagiti Amalekita ken Canaaneo idiay tanap.) Agsublikayo inton bigat ket mapankayo idiay let-ang babaen iti dalan nga agturong iti baybay dagiti Runo.”
So, since the descendants of Amalek and Canaan who are living in the valleys [in Canaan are very strong], when you leave here tomorrow, [instead of traveling toward Canaan], go back along the road through the desert towards the Red Sea.”
26 Nagsao ni Yahweh kada Moises ken Aaron. Kinunana,
Then Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me,
27 “Kasano pay kabayag ti panangib-ibturko kadagitoy a nadangkes a tattao a manguy-uyaw kaniak? Nangngegko dagiti panagrekreklamo dagiti tattao ti Israel kaniak.
“How long will the wicked people of this nation keep complaining about me [RHQ]? I have heard everything that they have grumbled/complained against me.
28 Ibagam kadakuada, kinuna ni Yahweh, ‘Iti panagbibiagko,' 'kas insaoyo iti panagdengngegko, Aramidek daytoy kadakayo:
So now tell them this: ‘Just as certainly as I, Yahweh, live, I will do exactly what you said would happen.
29 Mataykayonto iti daytoy a let-ang, aminkayo a nagreklamo maibusor kaniak, dakayo a nabilang iti sensus, ti sibubukel a bilang dagiti amin a tattao manipud iti agtawen iti duapulo ken agpangato.
[I will cause] all of you to die here in this desert! Because you grumbled about me, none of you who are more than 20 years old and who were counted when Moses counted everyone
30 Awan duadua a saankayo a makastrek iti daga nga inkarik a pagnaedanyo, malaksid kenni Caleb nga anak a lalaki ni Jefone ken ni Josue nga anak a lalaki ni Nun.
will enter the land that I solemnly promised to give to you. Only Caleb and Joshua will enter that land.
31 Ngem ipankonto iti dayta a daga dagiti annakyo a kinunayo nga agbalin a biktima. Mapadasandanto ti daga a linaksidyo!
You said that your children would be taken from you [to become slaves], but I will take them into the land, and they will enjoy living in the land that you (rejected/said that you could not conquer).
32 No maipapan kadakayo, mataykayonto iti daytoy a let-ang.
But as for you [adults], you will die here in this desert.
33 Agalla-allanto dagiti annakyo iti let-ang iti uppat a pulo a tawen. Rumbeng a lak-amenda dagiti supapak dagiti panagsukiryo agingga a patayen ti let-ang dagiti bagbagiyo.
And like shepherds [wander around in the desert as they take care of their sheep], your children will wander around in this desert for 40 years. Because you adults were not loyal/faithful to me, your children will suffer until you all die in the desert.
34 Kas iti bilang dagiti aldaw idi sinukimatyo ti daga iti uppat a pulo nga aldaw, kasta met ti masapul a pananglak-amyo kadagiti supapak dagiti basolyo iti uppat a pulo a tawen—maysa a tawen para iti maysa nga aldaw, ken masapul a maammoanyo ti pagbanagan ti agbalin a kabusorko.
You will suffer for your sins for 40 years. That will be one year for each of the 40 days that the twelve men explored Canaan land. And I will be like an enemy to you.’
35 Siak, ni Yahweh, ti nagsao. Awan duadua nga aramidek daytoy kadagiti amin a nadangkes a tattao a nagtitipon a sangsangkamaysa a maibusor kaniak. Maibusdanto iti daytoy a let-ang. Ditoydanto a matay.'”
[This will certainly happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it! I will do these things to every one in this group who conspired against me. They (conspired against/decided together to reject) me here in the desert, and they will all die right here in this desert!”
Then the ten men [who had explored Canaan and] who had urged the people to rebel against Yahweh by giving reports that discouraged the people
37 Isu a natay iti sangoanan ni Yahweh dagiti amin a lallaki nga imbaon ni Moises a mangkita iti daga babaen ti didigra. Dagitoy dagiti lallaki a nagsubli ken nangipadamag iti saan a nasayaat maipanggep iti daga. Daytoy ti gapuna a nagreklamo amin a tattao maibusor kenni Moises.
were immediately struck with a plague/disease that Yahweh sent, and they died.
38 Kadagiti lallaki a napan nangkita iti daga, ni laeng Josue nga anak a lalaki ni Nun ken ni Caleb nga anak a lalaki ni Jefone ti nagtalinaed a sibibiag.
Of the twelve men who had explored Canaan, only Joshua and Caleb remained alive.
39 Idi impadamag ni Moises dagitoy a sasao kadagiti amin a tattao ti Israel, nagladingitda iti kasta unay.
When Moses/I reported to the Israeli people what Yahweh had said, many of them were very sad.
40 Nasapada a bimmangon iti bigbigat ket napanda iti tuktok ti bantay ket kinunada, “Kitaenyo, addatayo ditoy, ket mapantayo iti lugar nga inkari ni Yahweh, ta nagbasoltayo.”
So the people got up early the next morning and started to go toward the hilly area in Canaan. They said, “[We know that] we have sinned, but now we [are ready to] enter the land that Yahweh promised to give to us.”
41 Ngem kinuna ni Moises, “Apay a salsalangusingenyon ita dagiti bilin ni Yahweh? Saankayo nga agballigi.
But Moses/I said, “Yahweh commanded you [to return to the desert, so] why are you now disobeying him [RHQ]? It will not (succeed/be possible).
42 Saankayo a mapan, gapu ta awan kadakayo ni Yahweh a manglapped iti pannakaparmekyo kadagiti kabusoryo.
Do not try to enter the land now! [If you try], your enemies will defeat you, because Yahweh will not (be with/help) you.
43 Adda sadiay dagiti Amalekita ken Cananeo, ket mataykayonto babaen kadagiti kampilan gapu ta timmalikodkayo manipud iti panangsursurotyo kenni Yahweh. Isu nga awanto isuna kadakayo.”
When you begin to fight the descendants of Amalek and Canaan, they will slaughter you! Yahweh will abandon you, because you have abandoned him.”
44 Ngem pinilitda latta iti sumang-at iti katurturodan a pagilian; nupay kasta, saan a pimmanaw ni Moises wenno ti lakasa ti tulag ni Yahweh iti kampo.
But even though Moses/I did not leave the camp, and the sacred chest that contained the Ten Commandments was not taken from the camp, the people began to go towards the hilly area in Canaan.
45 Ket simmalog dagiti Amalekita, kasta met dagiti Cananeo nga agnanaed kadagitoy a turturod. Rinautda dagiti Israelita ket pinarmekda ida agingga idiay Horma.
Then the descendants of Amalek and Canaan who lived in that hilly area came down and attacked them and chased them as far [south] as [the town of] Hormah.
