Oekyuk 14
1 Na mwet uh tung fong nufon sac ke sripen nikanla ac fosrnga lalos.
All the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.
2 Elos torkaskas lainul Moses ac Aaron, ac fahk, “Lukun wona kut funu misa na Egypt, ku finne inge yen mwesis uh!
All the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron. The whole congregation said to them, “We wish that we had died in the land of Egypt, or that we had died in this wilderness!
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 does the LORD bring us to this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will be captured or killed! Wouldn’t it be better for us to return into Egypt?”
4 Ouinge elos fahk nu sin sie sin sie, “Wona kut in sulela sie mwet kol nu sesr sifacna, ac folokla nu Egypt!”
They said to one another, “Let’s choose a leader, and let’s return into Egypt.”
5 Na Moses ac Aaron faksufi ye mutun mwet nukewa.
Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children 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
Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were of those who spied out the land, tore their clothes.
7 ac fahk nu sin mwet uh, “Facl se su kut kalngeyuk we ah, acn na wowo se.
They spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, “The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceedingly 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.
If the LORD delights in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it to us: a land which flows 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 don’t rebel against the LORD, neither fear the people of the land; for they are bread for us. Their defence is removed from over them, and the LORD is with us. Don’t fear 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 congregation threatened to stone them with stones. The LORD’s glory appeared in the Tent of Meeting to 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?
The LORD said to Moses, “How long will this people despise me? How long will they not believe in me, for all the signs which I have worked amongst 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 strike them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of you a nation greater and mightier 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,
Moses said to the LORD, “Then the Egyptians will hear it; for you brought up this people in your might from amongst 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.
They will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have heard that you LORD are amongst this people; for you LORD are seen face to face, and your cloud stands over them, and 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 killed this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of you will speak, saying,
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 bring this people into the land which he swore to them, therefore he has slain 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,
Now please let the power of the Lord be great, according as you have spoken, 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 slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, forgiving iniquity and disobedience; and he will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the 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!”
Please pardon the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of your loving kindness, and just as you have forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.”
20 LEUM GOD El topuk, “Nga fah nunak munas nu selos, oana ke kom siyuk.
The LORD said, “I have pardoned according to your word;
21 Tusruktu, in oana ke nga moul, ac ku luk ac wolana luk oasr yen nukewa faclu nufon,
but in very deed—as I live, and as all the earth shall be filled with the LORD’s glory—
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 those men who have seen my glory and my signs, which I worked in Egypt and in the wilderness, yet have tempted me these ten times, and have not listened 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.
surely they shall not see the land which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any of those who despised me 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 another spirit with him, and has followed me fully, him I will bring into the land into which he went. 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.”
Since the Amalekite and the Canaanite dwell in the valley, tomorrow turn and go into the wilderness by the way to the Sea of Suf.”
26 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses ac Aaron,
The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
27 “Mwet koluk inge ac torkaskas lainyu nwe ngac? Fal tari lohngyen torkaskas inge sik.
“How long shall I bear with this evil congregation that complain against me? I have heard the complaints of the children of Israel, which they complain against me.
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.
Tell them, ‘As I live, says the LORD, surely as you have spoken in my ears, so I will 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.
Your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness; and all who were counted of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, who have complained 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.
surely you shall not come into the land concerning which I swore that I would make you dwell therein, 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 I will bring in your little ones that you said should be captured or killed, and they shall know the land which you have rejected.
32 A funu kowos, kowos fah misa yen mwesis se inge.
But as for you, your dead bodies shall fall in this 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 children shall be wanderers in the wilderness forty years, and shall bear your prostitution, until your dead bodies are consumed in the wilderness.
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.
After the number of the days in which you spied out the land, even forty days, for every day a year, you will bear your iniquities, even forty years, and you will know my alienation.’
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 spoken. I will surely do this to all this evil congregation who are gathered together against me. In this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall 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.
The men whom Moses sent to spy out the land, who returned and made all the congregation to murmur against him by bringing up an evil report against the land,
37 Ke sripa se inge, LEUM GOD El sang sie mas upa ac onela mwet kalngeyuk inge.
even those men who brought up an evil report of the land, died by the plague 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 remained alive of those men who went to spy out the land.
39 Ke Moses el fahkang nu sin mwet Israel ma LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel uh, elos tung ac arulana asor.
Moses told these words to all the children of Israel, and the people mourned greatly.
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.”
They rose up early in the morning and went up to the top of the mountain, saying, “Behold, we are here, and will go up to the place which the LORD has promised; 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!
Moses said, “Why now do you disobey the commandment of the LORD, since it shall not prosper?
42 Nik kowos som. LEUM GOD El tia wi kowos, ac mwet lokoalok lowos ac fah kutangkowosla.
Don’t go up, for the LORD isn’t amongst you; that way you won’t be struck down 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.”
For there the Amalekite and the Canaanite are before you, and you will fall by the sword because you turned back from following the LORD; therefore 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 presumed to go up to the top of the mountain. Nevertheless, the ark of the LORD’s covenant and Moses didn’t depart out of 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.
Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites who lived in that mountain, and struck them and beat them down even to Hormah.
