4 Mose 14

1 Ana maka vahe kevu'moza ana nanekema antahite'za, Israeli vahe'mo'za ana kenagera tusi zavi ate'naze.

That night, all the Israeli people cried loudly.

2 Israeli vahe'mo'za Mosesene, Aronikiznia keha' reznante'za maka vahe'mo'za anage huznante'naze, Tagra Isipima mani'neta frunte'sina knare hisine! Nahanigeta ama ka'ma hagege mopafina frigahune!

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 Ra Anumzamo'a ama moparera kazinknonu tahe frihogu tavreno e'nefi? A'nene, mofavretinena tahe'za hanaresagi, eteta Isipima vanunkeno'a knare hugahie?

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 Zamagra zamagra ke ohumi ahumi hu'za anage hu'naze, tagra'a tavesite mago kva ne' azeri otisunkeno, ete tavreno Isipi mopare vanie!

Then [some of] them said to each other, “We should choose a leader who will take us back to Egypt!”

5 Anante Mosese'ene Aronikea maka Israeli vahe'mokizmi zamufi zanavugosaregati mopafi mase'na'e.

Then Aaron and Moses/I bowed down [to pray] in front of all the Israeli people who had gathered there.

6 Ana hakeno Nun nemofo Josua'ene, Jefune nemofo Kalepike, zanagra ana mopa vu'ne ome ke'na'a netre'moke, kukenaznia vararo varuru nehu'ne,

Joshua and Caleb, two of the men who had explored the land, tore their clothes [because they were very dismayed].

7 amanage hu'ne maka Israeli vahe kevua zamasmi'na'e, Ana mopama ome ke'nona mopamo'a knare zantfa hu'ne.

They said to the Israeli people, “The land that we explored is very good.

8 Ra Anumzamo'ma muse (plis) hurantesuno'a, henka tagrira ana mopare tavreno vuno, ami rine tumemofo rimo'ene avite'nea mopa ome tamigahie.

If Yahweh is pleased with us, he will lead us into that very fertile [IDM] land, and he will give it to us.

9 Ra Anumzamofo kea magore huta ru ha'ontagiho. Ana mopafima nemaniza vaheku'enena korera osiho, zamagra tagri nezasegahaze. Zamagri'ma refiteno kegava krizmante'nea zana eri atregahie. Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a tagrane mani'neanki zamagrikura korera osiho,

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 Hianagi ana maka vahe'mo'za have kano eri'za zanahe fri'za nehazageno, anante Ra Anumzamofo msazamo seli mono nonte eramino Israeli vahe zamavuga efore hige'za ke'naze.

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 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Mosesena asmi'ne. Nama'a zupa ama vahe'mo'za Nagrira zamagena hunenami'za, zamesi nonantaze? Nenagage'na maka kaguvaza amu'no zamifi eri fore hu'noa zankura, Nagrikura zamentintia nosazo?

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 Nagra kri atrena zamahe fanane nehu'na, Mosesega naga ka'afinti kazeri ra ha'nena zamagatere'za hanave'nentake vahe fore hu'za, Israeli vahera zamagatere'za manigahaze.

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 Hu'neanagi Mosese'a ana kemofo nona'a Ra Anumzamofona amanage huno asmi'ne, ana kea Isipi vahe'mo'za antahigahaze, na'ankure Kagra hanavefi ama vahera, Isipi vahe amu'no zamifinti zamarenka e'nane.

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 Isipi Kenani mopafima nemaniza vahera zamasamigahaze. Kagrama Ra Anumzamoka ama vahe amuno zamifima nemaninana, zamagra hago antahi'naze. Kagra Ra Anumzamoka zamufinti negagazagenka Kagra hamponu refite nezmantenka, Kagra Israeli vahe'mokizmi vugotezmantenka vimago hampompi nevunka, zagefina refite nezmantenka, hanimpina ana vimago hampompintira teve anefa hunka remsa huzmantenka nevane.

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 Menima Kagrama, magoke vahe aheaza hunkama ama vahe'zaga zamahe sanke'za, maka ama mopama megaginefinti Kagri kagenkema nentahi'za vahe'mo'za amanage hugahaze,

If you kill these people all at one time, the people-groups who have heard about your [power] will say,

16 Ra Anumzamo huhampri zamanteno huvempa huzmante'nea mopare zamavareno vugara osuno, ka'ma mopafi zamahe fanane hie hu'za hugahaze.

‘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 Hianagi menina, nagra nunamu hue, Kagrama hunana kere, Ra Anumzamoka atregeno hihamu hanavekamo'a eama hino.

“So Yahweh, now show that you are very powerful. You said,

18 Ra Anumzamofo rimpa ahe'zamo'a ame huno oranotigeno, rimpa fru huno avesinte zamo'a mareri avitegeno, kumi'ene kefozantine eri atre'nerante. Hianagi aza'o kasege'ama agatere'simofona, kumi'mofo nona'a nezmafanteti vuno, nemofonte vuteno henkama fore'ma hu anante anantema huno 3'o 4'a vahe'enema fore hu anante anante'ma hanaza vahete ana havizamo'a meno vugahie.

‘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 Kagra vagaore kavesizanka'agu nentahinka nunamu huanki kumi'zmi ama vahera atrezmanto. Ama vahe'ma Isipima mani'nagenka Kagrama kumizamima eri atrenka menima e'nana kna hunka eri atre zamanto.

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 Anage higeno Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Mosesena asmi'ne, Nagra kema nasmi'naza hu'na kumi'zmia eri atre zamantegahue.

Then Yahweh replied, “I have forgiven them, as you requested me to.

21 Hianagi tamage hu'na Nagra kasefa hu'na mani'noa Anumzamo'na huankino, Ra Anumzamo'na hihamune, msazamo e'nena maka mopafi vuno eno huno avitegahie.

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 Tamage hu'za maka vahe'mo'za Nagri masane kaguvazana Isipine, ka'ma hagege mopafine eri fore huge'za nege'zagi, anazankura ontahi'za 10ni'a zupa Nagrira renahe'za nege'za, Nagri kemofona amagera onte'naze.

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 Ana hu'nazagu tamage hu'za nezmafama huvempa hu'na Nagrani'a zami'noa mopa, namefiga'a ke nehazamo'za onke'tfa hugahaze.

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 Hianagi Nagri eri'za ne' Kalepi'a kegahie. Na'ankure agripina ruzahu avamu me'negeno maka agu'areti huno Nagrira maka zampina namage ante'negu ana mopare Nagra avre'na vanugeno, ana mopa agehe'za eri nafa'a hugahaze.

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 Menia Ameleki vahe'ene Kenani vahe'mo'za ana aguporamimpina mani'nazagu, okina rukre hunka ka'ma hagage mopafi ru kitaginka Koranke Hageri me'nerega vuo.

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 Ra Anumzamo'a anage huno Mosesene, Aronikizni znasami'ne,

Then Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me,

27 Nama'a zupa ama'i kumike vea kevumo'za, Nagri'ma huhaviza hunenantaza vahe'mokizmi knazana erigahue? Israeli vahe'mo'za Nagri'ma hunenantaza kea nentahue.

“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 Menina zamasmio, tamage hu'na kasefa hu'na mani'noa Ra Anumzamo'na nehue, nagesa kami'nogenka hankena antahuankina inankna zanku'ma hana zana amne hugahue.

So now tell them this: ‘Just as certainly as I, Yahweh, live, I will do exactly what you said would happen.

29 Kagrama hampri'nana vahe'ene, maka 20'a kafureti mareri anagate'nesia vahe'ene, Nagri'ma namefi'age hu'nesaza vahe'mo'za ka'ma hagege mopafi fregahaze.

[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 Tamage huvempa hurmante'na tamagri tamamigahuema hu'noa mopafina ovugahaze. Hianagi Jefune nemofo Kalepi'ene Nuni nemofo Josuake, zanagrake vugaha'e.

will enter the land that I solemnly promised to give to you. Only Caleb and Joshua will enter that land.

31 Hianagi tamagrama huta, mofavreti zamahe fanane hugahaze huta koro'ma hu'naza mopare, ana mofavremokizmi Nagra zamavare'na vanuge'za, i'oma hu'naza mopa ome erigahaze.

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 Hagi tamagra, ama ka'ma hagage mopafi frigahaze!

But as for you [adults], you will die here in this desert.

33 Hagi tamagrama Nagri kemofo amage onte'naza nona'a, mofavretmimo'za ama ka'ma hagage mopafi 40'a kafufina knazana eri'za vano nehu'za, anama maka'mo'za ama ka'ma hagage kokampi frigahaze.

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 Zamagrama ana mopafi 40'a zagegnafi vano nehu'za oku'a afure'za kenazankna huta, kumi'tmimofo nona mago mago knamo'a mago mago kafu huvame hanigeta, 40'a kafufi knazana erita vano hugahaze. Nagrama hurmantesua navu'navara kegahaze.

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 Nagra Ra Anumzamo'na kea nehue, kumike vahe'mo'za atru hu'za Nagri'ma hu haviza nehazana tamage hu'na kna zamigahue. Ama ka'ma hagage mopafi zamazeri haviza ha'nena fri hana hugahaze.

[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!”

36 Mosese'ma huzmantege'za oku'a vu'za mopa ome afure'za kete'za e'naza vahe'mo'za maka vahe kevu havige eme zamasmi'naze.

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 Hagi mopa afureho huno huzmantege'za vute'za, ete eza havige eme hu'naza vahera, Ra Anumzamo'a kri atregeno zamahe fri'ne.

were immediately struck with a plague/disease that Yahweh sent, and they died.

38 Hianagi huzamantege'za vuza mopama ome afure'za ome kete'za e'naza nagapintira, Nun nemofo Josuane, Jefune nemofo Kalepikizni znatregeke zanagrake mani'na'e.

Of the twelve men who had explored Canaan, only Joshua and Caleb remained alive.

39 Mosese'ma ana kema Israeli vahe'ma nezmasmige'za, vahe kevumo'za tusiza hu'za zavira nete'za zamasunku hu'naze.

When Moses/I reported to the Israeli people what Yahweh had said, many of them were very sad.

40 Hianagi ame' nanterampi oti'za mika'zazimia tro hu'za agonarega mareri'za nevu'za anage hu'naze, Tagra ama one, tamage kumi' hu'nonanagi, Ra Anumzamo'ma huhampri tante'nea moparega vugahune.

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 Hagi Mosese'a amanage huno zamasmi'ne, Tamagri antahizamo'a eri'zana e'origahie. Tamagra Ra Anumzamofo ke ruha'nentagize.

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 Anantega Anumzamo'a tamagranena ovanigeno ha' vahetamimo'za tamahegahazanki tamagra mareorigahaze.

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 Tamagri ha' vahe'mo'za Ameleki vahe'ene Kenani vahe'mo'zatamavuga mani'nazeanki'za kazinknonteti tamahegahaze. Hagi Ra Anumzamofo ke'a tamefi hunte'naza nona'a, Ra Anumzamo'a tamagra'nena ovugahie.

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 Hianagi mago'a Israeli vahe'mo'za Mosese kea eri amne nehu'za, agonarega mareri'za vu'naze. Ra Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempage vogisimo'a anampi me'negeno, Mosese'enena kumara atreno ovu'ne.

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 Hagi Ameleki vahe'ene Kenani vahe'ma ana agona mopafi nemaniza vahe'mo'za erami'za zamahe'za zamarotgo hazage'za fre'za Homa kumate ehanati'naze.

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.
