Oekyuk 14
1 Na mwet uh tung fong nufon sac ke sripen nikanla ac fosrnga lalos.
Then all the people gave load cries of grief, and all that night they gave themselves up to weeping.
2 Elos torkaskas lainul Moses ac Aaron, ac fahk, “Lukun wona kut funu misa na Egypt, ku finne inge yen mwesis uh!
And all the children of Israel, crying out against Moses and Aaron, said, If only we had come to our death in the land of Egypt, or even in this waste land!
3 Efu ku LEUM GOD Elan uskutla nu in acn sac tuh kut in misa ke mweun, ac mutan kiasr ac tulik natusr uh ac muta in sruoh. Mea, ac tia wo kut in folokla nu Egypt?”
Why is the Lord taking us into this land to come to our death by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will get into strange hands: would it not be better for us to go back to Egypt?
4 Ouinge elos fahk nu sin sie sin sie, “Wona kut in sulela sie mwet kol nu sesr sifacna, ac folokla nu Egypt!”
And they said to one another, Let us make a captain over us, and go back to Egypt.
5 Na Moses ac Aaron faksufi ye mutun mwet nukewa.
Then Moses and Aaron went down on their faces before the meeting of the people.
6 Ac Joshua wen natul Nun, ac Caleb wen natul Jephunneh, luo sin mwet kalngeyuk uh, eltal seya nuknuk laltal ke sripen asor laltal
And Joshua, the son of Nun, and Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, two of those who had been to see the land, giving signs of grief,
7 ac fahk nu sin mwet uh, “Facl se su kut kalngeyuk we ah, acn na wowo se.
Said to all the children of Israel, This land which we went through to see is a very good land.
8 LEUM GOD fin insewowo sesr, El ac uskutla nu we ac ase nu sesr facl na mut ac kasrup fohk we sac.
And if the Lord has delight in us, he will take us into this land and give it to us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
9 Nik kowos lain LEUM GOD, ac nimet sangeng sin mwet we uh. Ac arulana fisrasr kut in kutangulosla. LEUM GOD El wi kut, ac El kutangla tari god su karinganulos. Ke sripa inge nik kowos sangeng.”
Only, do not go against the Lord or go in fear of the people of the land, for they will be our food; their strength has been taken from them and the Lord is with us: have no fear of them.
10 Na u sac nufon nunku elos in tanglaltal nwe ke na eltal misa. Tusruktu in kitin pacl ah na mwet uh liye kalem wolana ma akkalemye sikme lun LEUM GOD oan fin Lohm Nuknuk Mutal.
But all the people said they were to be stoned. Then the glory of the Lord was seen in the Tent of meeting, before the eyes of all the children of Israel.
11 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, “Mwet inge ac pilesreyu nwe ngac? Putaka elos ac srangesr lulalfongiyu, nga ne orala mwenmen puspis inmasrlolos?
And the Lord said to Moses, How long will this people have no respect for me? how long will they be without faith, in the face of all the signs I have done among them?
12 Nga fah supwama sie mas upa in onelosla, tusruktu nga fah oru kom in papa tumun sie mutunfacl yohk ac ku lukelos!”
I will send disease on them for their destruction, and take away their heritage, and I will make of you a nation greater and stronger than they.
13 Na Moses el fahk nu sin LEUM GOD, “Kom tuh use mwet inge liki acn Egypt ke ku lom. Pacl se mwet Egypt elos ac lohng ke ma kom oru nu sin mwet lom,
And Moses said to the Lord, Then it will come to the ears of the Egyptians; for by your power you took this people out from among them;
14 elos ac srumun nu sin mwet su muta in facl se inge. Mwet inge lohng tari lah kom, LEUM GOD, kom wi kut, ac kom sikyak ac liyeyuk kalem ke pacl se pukunyeng lom tuhwi facsr. Elos lohng pac lah kom fahsr meet liki kut in sie sru in pukunyeng ke len, ac ke sie sru in e ke fong.
And they will give the news to the people of this land: they have had word that you, Lord, are present with this people, letting yourself be seen face to face, and that your cloud is resting over them, and that you go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and in a pillar of fire by night.
15 Inge kom fin onela mwet lom nukewa, na mutanfahl su lohng pweng keim, elos fah fahk lah
Now if you put to death all this people as one man, then the nations who have had word of your glory will say,
16 kom onela mwet lom in acn mwesis ke sripen kom tia ku in usalosla nu in facl se su kom wuleang mu kom ac sang nu selos.
Because the Lord was not able to take this people into the land which he made an oath to give them, he sent destruction on them in the waste land.
17 Ouinge, LEUM GOD, nga pre ac siyuk tuh kom in akkalemye ku lom nu sesr, ac oru ma kom wulela kac ke kom fahk mu,
So now, may my prayer come before you, and let the power of the Lord be great, as you said:
18 ‘Nga LEUM GOD, nga tia sa in mulat, ac nga fahkak lungkulang, oaru, ac nunak munas ke ma koluk ac ma sutuu lun mwet uh. Tusruk nga fah tia mulkunla in kai papa ac nina su oru ma koluk, oayapa tulik natulos ac nutin natulos nu ke fwil aktolu ac akakosr.’
The Lord is slow to wrath and great in mercy, overlooking wrongdoing and evil, and will not let wrongdoers go free; sending punishment on children for the sins of their fathers, to the third and fourth generation.
19 Inge, LEUM GOD, fal nu ke lungse lulap lom su tiana ekyek, nga kwafe sum, sisla koluk lun mwet inge, oana ke kom nuna nunak munas nu selos oe ke pacl se elos illa liki acn Egypt me!”
May the sin of this people have forgiveness, in the measure of your great mercy, as you have had mercy on them from Egypt up till now.
20 LEUM GOD El topuk, “Nga fah nunak munas nu selos, oana ke kom siyuk.
And the Lord said, I have had mercy, as you say:
21 Tusruktu, in oana ke nga moul, ac ku luk ac wolana luk oasr yen nukewa faclu nufon,
But truly, as I am living, and as all the earth will be full of the glory of the Lord;
22 nga wulela mu wangin sie sin mwet inge ac fah moul in wi utyak nu in facl sac. Elos liye tari kalem wolana luk ac mwenmen ma nga tuh oru in facl Egypt ac yen mwesis. Ne ouinge, elos nuna srikeyu na, ac pusla pacl elos tia akosyu.
Because all these men, having seen my glory and the signs which I have done in Egypt and in the waste land, still have put me to the test ten times, and have not given ear to my voice;
23 Elos ac fah tiana utyak nu in facl se su nga wulela nu sin mwet matu lalos. Wangin sie selos su pilesreyu fah liye acn we.
They will not see the land about which I made an oath to their fathers; not one of these by whom I have not been honoured will see it.
24 Tusruktu ke sripen nunak lal Caleb, mwet kulansap luk, sie liki na mwet ngia, ac el srakna oru ma lungse luk ke inse pwaye, nga fah usalla nu in facl sac su el tuh wi kalngeyuk we, ac fwilin tulik natul fah eis lalos acn we.
But my servant Caleb, because he had a different spirit in him, and has been true to me with all his heart, him I will take into that land into which he went, and his seed will have it for their heritage.
25 In pacl inge mwet Amalek ac mwet Canaan elos muta infahlfal lun acn we, ouinge kowos in forla ac som nu yen mwesis ke inkanek nu Meoa Srusra.”
Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites are in the valley; tomorrow, turning round, go into the waste land by the way to the Red Sea.
26 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses ac Aaron,
Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
27 “Mwet koluk inge ac torkaskas lainyu nwe ngac? Fal tari lohngyen torkaskas inge sik.
How long am I to put up with this evil people and their outcries against me? The words which they say against me have come to my ears.
28 Sang top luk inge nu selos: “Nga fulahk lah in oana ke nga moul, nga fah oru nu suwos oana ke kowos siyuk. Nga LEUM GOD pa kaskas.
Say to them, By my life, says the Lord, as certainly as your words have come to my ears, so certainly will I do this to you:
29 Kowos fah misa, ac mano misa lowos ac fah afunla yen mwesis uh. Mweyen kowos torkaskas na lainyu, tia sie suwos su yac longoul matwayak fah wi utyak nu in facl sac.
Your dead bodies will be stretched out in this waste land; and of all your number, all those of twenty years old and over who have been crying out against me,
30 Nga tuh wulela mu nga ac oru tuh kowos in muta we, tuh pa tia sie suwos ac sun, sayal Caleb ac Joshua.
Not one will come into the land which I gave my word you would have for your resting-place, but only Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua, the son of Nun.
31 Kowos tuh fahk mu tulik nutuwos ac mau mwet sruoh, tusruktu nga ac usalosme nu in facl se su kowos sifacna liskowosla liki, ac facl sac fah ma selos.
And your little ones, whom you said would come into strange hands, I will take in, and they will see the land which you would not have.
32 A funu kowos, kowos fah misa yen mwesis se inge.
But as for you, your dead bodies will be stretched in this waste land.
33 Tulik nutuwos ac fah forfor yen mwesis yac angngaul, ac keok ke sripen ma koluk lowos, nwe ke mwet safla se ke fwil se inge misa.
And your children will be wanderers in the waste land for forty years, undergoing punishment for your false ways, till your bodies become dust in the waste land.
34 Mwatan ma koluk lowos uh ac oru kowos in keok ke yac angngaul — yac se nu ke kais sie len kowos tuh oru kalngeyuk lowos in acn sac. Kowos ac fah arulana pulakunak luman lain luk nu suwos.
And as you went through the land viewing it for forty days, so for forty years, a year for every day, you will undergo punishment for your wrongdoing, and you will see that I am against you.
35 Nga fulahk lah nga ac oru ouinge nu sin mwet koluk nukewa su tukeni nu sie lainyu. Kais sie suwos fah misa yen mwesis se inge. Nga LEUM GOD pa kaskas!”
I the Lord have said it, and this I will certainly do to all this evil people who have come together against me: in this waste land destruction will come on them, and death will be their fate.
36 Mwet su Moses el tuh supwala in oru kalngeyuk lalos ke facl sac, ke elos foloko elos tuh fahkak kas tia pwaye ke acn sac, pa pwanang mwet Israel nukewa torkaskas lain LEUM GOD.
And the men whom Moses sent to see the land, and who, by the bad account they gave of the land, were the cause of the outcry the people made against Moses,
37 Ke sripa se inge, LEUM GOD El sang sie mas upa ac onela mwet kalngeyuk inge.
Those same men who said evil of the land, came to their death by disease before the Lord.
38 Joshua ac Caleb mukena moul inmasrlon mwet kalngeyuk singoul luo ah.
But Joshua, the son of Nun, and Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, of those who went to see the land, were not touched by disease.
39 Ke Moses el fahkang nu sin mwet Israel ma LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel uh, elos tung ac arulana asor.
And when Moses put these words before the children of Israel, the people were full of grief.
40 Toangna in lotu tok ah elos mukuiyak in utyak ac eisla acn nu fineol uh. Elos fahk, “Inge kut akola in utyak nu fin acn se su LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sesr kac. Pwaye lah kut tuh oru ma koluk.”
And early in the morning they got up and went to the top of the mountain, saying, We are here and we will go up to the place which the Lord said he would give us: for we have done wrong.
41 Tusruktu Moses el fahk, “Na efu kowos ku srakna fahsr sayen ma sap lun LEUM GOD? Ma kowos oru inge ac tia ku in wo ouiya!
And Moses said, Why are you now acting against the Lord's order, seeing that no good will come of it?
42 Nik kowos som. LEUM GOD El tia wi kowos, ac mwet lokoalok lowos ac fah kutangkowosla.
Go not up, for the Lord is not with you, and you will be overcome by those who are fighting against you.
43 Ke kowos ac tuyang in lain mwet Amalek ac mwet Canaan uh, kowos ac misa ke mweun. LEUM GOD El ac tia wi kowos, ke sripen kowos tia lungse fahsr tokol.”
For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and you will be put to death by their swords: because you have gone back from the way of the Lord, the Lord will not be with you.
44 Ne ouinge elos kwafeang na in utyak nu fineol uh, finne Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD ac Moses srakna muta in nien aktuktuk uh.
But they gave no attention to his words and went to the top of the mountain, though Moses and the ark of the Lord's agreement did not go out of the tent-circle.
45 Na mwet Amalek ac mwet Canaan su muta fineol uh elos sroang mweunelos ac kutangulosla, ac ukwalos na nwe ke sun acn Hormah.
Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites who were living in the hill-country, and overcame them completely, driving them back as far as Hormah.
