Oekyuk 14
1 Na mwet uh tung fong nufon sac ke sripen nikanla ac fosrnga lalos.
And so, crying out, the entire crowd wept throughout that night.
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 sons of Israel were murmuring against Moses and Aaron, saying:
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?”
“If only we had died in Egypt,” and, “If only we would perish in this vast wilderness,” and, “May the Lord not lead us into this land, lest we fall by the sword, and our wives, as well as our children, be led away as captives. Is it not better to return 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 appoint our leader, and so return to Egypt.”
5 Na Moses ac Aaron faksufi ye mutun mwet nukewa.
And when Moses and Aaron heard this, they fell prone on the ground in the sight of the multitude of the sons of Israel.
6 Ac Joshua wen natul Nun, ac Caleb wen natul Jephunneh, luo sin mwet kalngeyuk uh, eltal seya nuknuk laltal ke sripen asor laltal
Yet truly, Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who themselves had also viewed the land, tore their garments,
7 ac fahk nu sin mwet uh, “Facl se su kut kalngeyuk we ah, acn na wowo se.
and they said to the entire multitude of the sons of Israel: “The land that we circled through is very good.
8 LEUM GOD fin insewowo sesr, El ac uskutla nu we ac ase nu sesr facl na mut ac kasrup fohk we sac.
If the Lord will be gracious to us, he will lead us into it, and he will give us the 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.”
Do not choose to be rebellious against the Lord. And do not fear the people of this land, for, like bread, so are we able to devour them. All protection has withdrawn from them. The Lord is with us. Do not be afraid.”
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.
And when the entire multitude cried out, and they wanted to crush them with stones, the glory of the Lord appeared, over the roof of the covenant, to all the sons 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 disparage me? How long will they refuse to believe me, despite all the signs that I have wrought before them?
12 Nga fah supwama sie mas upa in onelosla, tusruktu nga fah oru kom in papa tumun sie mutunfacl yohk ac ku lukelos!”
Therefore, I will strike them with a pestilence, and so I will consume them. But you I will make the ruler over a great nation, and one which is mightier than this one.”
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: “But then the Egyptians, from whose midst you led out this people,
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 the inhabitants of this land, who have heard that you, O Lord, are among this people, and that you are seen face to face, and that your cloud protects them, and that you go before them with a column of cloud by day, and a column of fire by night,
15 Inge kom fin onela mwet lom nukewa, na mutanfahl su lohng pweng keim, elos fah fahk lah
may hear that you have killed so great a multitude, as if they were one man, and they may 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.
‘He was not able to lead the people into the land about which he had sworn. Therefore, he slew them in the wilderness.’
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,
Therefore, may the strength of the Lord be magnified, just as you swore, saying:
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 patient and full of mercy, taking away iniquity and wickedness, and forsaking no one who is harmless. He visits the sins of the fathers upon the sons, 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!”
Forgive, I beg you, the sins of this people, according to the greatness of your mercy, just as you have been gracious to them in their journey from Egypt to this place.”
20 LEUM GOD El topuk, “Nga fah nunak munas nu selos, oana ke kom siyuk.
And the Lord said: “I have forgiven them according to your word.
21 Tusruktu, in oana ke nga moul, ac ku luk ac wolana luk oasr yen nukewa faclu nufon,
Also, as I live, the entire world shall be filled with 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.
And yet, all the men who have seen my majesty, and the signs that I have wrought in Egypt and in the wilderness, and who have tested me ten times already, and yet have not obeyed 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.
these shall not see the land, about which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any of those who detracted me gaze upon 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.
My servant Caleb, who, being full of another spirit, has followed me, I will lead into this land, through which he has wandered, and his offspring shall possess it.
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.”
For the Amalekites and the Canaanites live in the valleys. Tomorrow, move the camp and return into the wilderness, by the way of the Red Sea.”
26 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses ac Aaron,
And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
27 “Mwet koluk inge ac torkaskas lainyu nwe ngac? Fal tari lohngyen torkaskas inge sik.
“How long will this very wicked multitude murmur against me? I have heard the complaints of the sons of Israel.
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.
Therefore, say to them: As I live, says the Lord, as you spoke in my hearing, so will I do 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.
In the wilderness, here shall your carcasses lie. All you who were numbered from twenty years and above, and who have murmured 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.
you shall not enter into the land, over which I lifted up my hand to cause you to live there, except 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.
But your little ones, about whom you said that they would be a prey to the enemies, I will lead them in, so that they may see the land that has displeased you.
32 A funu kowos, kowos fah misa yen mwesis se inge.
Your carcasses shall lie in the wilderness.
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.
Your sons shall wander in the desert for forty years, and they shall bear your fornication, until the carcasses of their fathers are consumed in the desert.
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.
According to the number of the forty days, during which you examined the land, one year shall be charged for each day. And so, for forty years you shall take back your iniquities, and you shall know my retribution.
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!”
For just as I have spoken, so shall I do, to this entire most wicked multitude, which has risen up together against me. In the wilderness, here shall it fade away and die.”
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.
Therefore, all the men, whom Moses had sent to contemplate the land, and who, having returned, had caused the entire multitude to murmur against him, disparaging the land as if it were evil,
37 Ke sripa se inge, LEUM GOD El sang sie mas upa ac onela mwet kalngeyuk inge.
suffered death and were struck down in the sight of the Lord.
38 Joshua ac Caleb mukena moul inmasrlon mwet kalngeyuk singoul luo ah.
But only Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh remained alive, out of all those who had journeyed to examine the land.
39 Ke Moses el fahkang nu sin mwet Israel ma LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel uh, elos tung ac arulana asor.
And Moses spoke all these words to all the sons of Israel, and the people mourned exceedingly.
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 behold, rising up at first light, they climbed to the top of the mountain, and they said, “We are prepared to ascend to the place, about which the Lord has spoken, for we have sinned.”
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 to them: “Why do you transgress the word of the Lord, merely because it will not result in prosperity for you?
42 Nik kowos som. LEUM GOD El tia wi kowos, ac mwet lokoalok lowos ac fah kutangkowosla.
Do not ascend, for the Lord is not with you, lest you be overthrown before your enemies.
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.”
The Amalekite and the Canaanite are before you, by whose sword you shall be ruined, for you were not willing to consent to the Lord, and so the Lord is not 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, having been darkened, ascended to the top of the mountain. But the ark of the testament of the Lord, and Moses, did not withdraw from the camp.
45 Na mwet Amalek ac mwet Canaan su muta fineol uh elos sroang mweunelos ac kutangulosla, ac ukwalos na nwe ke sun acn Hormah.
And the Amalekites descended, along with those Canaanites who were living in the mountains. And so, striking and cutting them down, they pursued them all the way to Hormah.
