Okubala 14

1 Ekiro ekyo abantu bonna mu kibiina ne bayimusa amaloboozi gaabwe ne bakaaba n’eddoboozi ery’omwanguka.

And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.

2 Abaana ba Isirayiri bonna ne beemulugunyiza Musa ne Alooni; abantu bonna awamu mu kibiina ne babagamba nti, “Singa twafiira mu nsi y’e Misiri! Oba singa twafiira mu ddungu muno!

And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron; and the whole congregation said unto them: 'Would that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would we had died in this wilderness!

3 Lwaki Mukama atutwala mu nsi eyo, tutuuke eyo tulyoke tuttibwe n’ekitala? Abakazi baffe n’abaana baffe bagenda kunyagibwa. Okuddayo mu Misiri si kye kinaasingako?”

And wherefore doth the LORD bring us unto this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will be a prey; were it not better for us to return into Egypt?'

4 Ne boogeraganya nti, “Ka twerondere omukulembeze tuddeyo mu Misiri.”

And they said one to another: 'Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.'

5 Awo Musa ne Alooni ne bavuunama wansi mu maaso g’ekibiina kyonna eky’abaana ba Isirayiri abaali bakuŋŋaanidde awo.

Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.

6 Yoswa mutabani wa Nuuni ne Kalebu mutabani wa Yefune, abaali mu abo abaagenda okuketta ensi, ne bayuzaayuza engoye zaabwe,

And Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were of them that spied out the land, rent their clothes.

7 ne bagamba ekibiina kyonna eky’abaana ba Isirayiri nti, “Ensi gye twayitaayitamu okugiketta, nsi nnungi nnyo.

And they spoke unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying: 'The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceeding good land.

8 Mukama Katonda bw’aliba atusanyukidde, alitukulembera n’atutuusa mu nsi eyo, ensi ekulukuta amata n’omubisi gw’enjuki, era agenda kugituwa.

If the LORD delight in us, then He will bring us into this land, and give it unto us — a land which floweth with milk and honey.

9 Kyokka temujeemera Mukama Katonda, era n’abantu b’omu nsi omwo temubatya, kubanga kuliba kumenya mu jjenje kkalu; tebakyalina abakuuma, ate nga Mukama Katonda ali wamu naffe. Temubatya.”

Only rebel not against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us; their defence is removed from over them, and the LORD is with us; fear them not.'

10 Naye abantu bonna mu kibiina ne bateesa okubakuba mayinja. Awo ekitiibwa kya Mukama Katonda ne kirabikira eri abaana ba Isirayiri bonna mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu.

But all the congregation bade stone them with stones, when the glory of the LORD appeared in the tent of meeting unto all the children of Israel.

11 Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Abantu bano balinnyooma kutuusa ddi? Balikomya ddi obutanzikiririzaamu, newaakubadde nga nakola ebyamagero mu bubonero bwe nakolera mu bo?

And the LORD said unto Moses: 'How long will this people despise Me? and how long will they not believe in Me, for all the signs which I have wrought among them?

12 Nzija kubaboola mbazikirize ne kawumpuli, mbasaanyeewo; naye nzija kukuggyamu ggwe eggwanga eriribasinga abo obukulu n’amaanyi.”

I will smite them with the pestilence, and destroy them, and will make of thee a nation greater and mightier than they.'

13 Naye Musa n’agamba Mukama Katonda nti, “Ebyo Abamisiri bagenda kubiwulira! Kubanga abantu bano wabaggya mu nsi y’Abamisiri n’obuyinza obw’amaanyi amangi.

And Moses said unto the LORD: 'When the Egyptians shall hear — for Thou broughtest up this people in Thy might from among them —

14 Bajja kubuulirako ku bantu ab’omu nsi muno. Baamala dda okukiwulira nga ggwe, Ayi Mukama, obeera wakati mu bantu bano, era nga, Ayi Mukama Katonda, mulabagana nabo amaaso n’amaaso, era ng’ekire kyo kibeera nabo buli kiseera, era ng’obakulemberera mu mpagi ey’ekire emisana ne mu mpagi ey’omuliro ekiro.

they will say to the inhabitants of this land, who have heard that Thou LORD art in the midst of this people; inasmuch as Thou LORD art seen face to face, and Thy cloud standeth over them, and Thou goest before them, in a pillar of cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night;

15 Singa abantu bano obatta bonna omulundi gumu, amawanga agawulidde obututumufu bwo gagenda kugamba nti,

now if Thou shalt kill this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of Thee will speak, saying:

16 ‘Kubanga Mukama Katonda yali tasobola kuyingiza bantu bano mu nsi gye yabasuubiza ng’agibalayirira; kyeyava abattira mu ddungu.’

Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which He swore unto them, therefore He hath slain them in the wilderness.

17 “Ne kaakano nkwegayirira oyoleke obuyinza bwo, Ayi Mukama nga bwe buli obusukkirivu nga bwe wasuubiza nti,

And now, I pray Thee, let the power of the Lord be great, according as Thou hast spoken, saying:

18 ‘Mukama Katonda alwawo okusunguwala, era ajjudde okwagala okutaggwaawo, era asonyiwa ekibi n’obujeemu. Naye era asingiddwa omusango tamuleka nga tabonerezebbwa; abonereza abaana olw’ebibi bya bakadde baabwe okutuuka ku mulembe ogwokusatu n’ogwokuna.’

The LORD is slow to anger, and plenteous in lovingkindness, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon the third and upon the fourth generation.

19 Ng’okwagala kwe okungi okutaggwaawo bwe kuli, nsaba osonyiwe abantu bano ekibi ky’abwe, nga bw’ozze obasonyiwa kasookedde bava mu Misiri n’okutuusa leero.”

Pardon, I pray Thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of Thy lovingkindness, and according as Thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.'

20 Awo Mukama Katonda n’addamu nti, “Mbasonyiye nga bw’onsabye.

And the LORD said: 'I have pardoned according to thy word.

21 Naye nno mu mazima ddala nga bwe ndi omulamu, era ng’ekitiibwa kya Mukama Katonda bwe kijjuza ensi yonna,

But in very deed, as I live — and all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD —

22 tewalibaawo n’omu ku bantu abaalaba ekitiibwa kyange n’obubonero obw’ebyamagero bwe nakolera e Misiri ne mu ddungu, naye ne batagondera ddoboozi lyange wabula ne bangezesa nga bankema emirundi kkumi,

surely all those men that have seen My glory, and My signs, which I wrought in Egypt and in the wilderness, yet have put Me to proof these ten times, and have not hearkened to My voice;

23 tewalibaawo n’omu ku bo aliraba ku nsi eyo gye nalayirira bajjajjaabwe ne mbasuubiza okugibawa. Tewalibaawo n’omu ku bo abannyoomye aligirabako.

surely they shall not see the land which I swore unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that despised Me see it.

24 Naye olwokubanga omuweereza wange Kalebu alina omwoyo ogw’enjawulo era ng’angoberera n’omutima gwe gwonna, ndimuleeta mu nsi gye yatumibwamu, n’ezzadde lye lirigirya.

But My servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed Me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.

25 Kale nno olwokubanga Abamaleki n’Abakanani babeera mu biwonvu; enkya muddeeko emabega, musitule mutambule nga mwolekera eddungu nga mukutte ekkubo eriraga ku Nnyanja Emyufu.”

Now the Amalekite and the Canaanite dwell in the Vale; tomorrow turn ye, and get you into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea.'

26 Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa ne Alooni nti,

And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying:

27 “Ekibiina kino ekibi kirituusa ddi nga kinneemulugunyiza? Mpulidde okutolotooma kw’abaana ba Isirayiri nga banneemulugunyiza.

'How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, that keep murmuring against Me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they keep murmuring against Me.

28 Bategeeze nti, ‘Mukama agambye nti, Nga bwe ndi omulamu, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda, ebyo bye mpulidde nga mwogera, nange bye ndibakola.

Say unto them: As I live, saith the LORD, surely as ye have spoken in Mine ears, so will I do to you:

29 Mulifiira mu ddungu muno n’emirambo gyammwe mwe girisigala; mwenna abawezezza emyaka amakumi abiri n’okusingawo egy’obukulu nga bwe mwamala okubalibwa, abanneemulugunyiza.

your carcasses shall fall in this wilderness, and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, ye that have murmured against Me;

30 Tewaliba n’omu ku bo aliyingira mu nsi gye neelayirira nti ge galibeera amaka gammwe, okuggyako Kalebu mutabani wa Yefune ne Yoswa mutabani wa Nuuni.

surely ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I lifted up My hand that I would make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.

31 Naye abaana bammwe abato, be mwogeddeko nti balifuulibwa omunyago, ndibayingiza mu nsi eyo gye mugaanye ne beeyagalira omwo.

But your little ones, that ye said would be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have rejected.

32 Naye mmwe, emirambo gyammwe girisigala mu ddungu muno mwe girigwa.

But as for you, your carcasses shall fall in this wilderness.

33 Mmwe olw’obutabeera beesigwa, abaana bammwe balimala emyaka amakumi ana mu ddungu nga bwe balunda ebisibo byabwe okutuusa omulambo gw’oyo alisembayo okufa lwe guliziikibwa mu ddungu muno.

And your children shall be wanderers in the wilderness forty years, and shall bear your strayings, until your carcasses be consumed in the wilderness.

34 Nga bwe mwamala ennaku amakumi ana nga muketta ensi eri, bwe mutyo bwe mujja okumala emyaka amakumi ana mu ddungu, nga buli lumu ku nnaku ezo muvaamu mwaka gumu gumu; muboneebone olw’ebibi byammwe, mulyoke mutegeere obuzibu obw’okunneesimbamu.

After the number of the days in which ye spied out the land, even forty days, for every day a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know My displeasure.

35 Nze, Mukama Katonda, nkyogedde; ddala ddala ekyo ndikikola ku kibiina kyonna eky’abantu bano aboonoonyi abeegasse awamu okunjolekera. Tebagenda kuva mu ddungu lino, bonna mwe balifiira.’”

I the LORD have spoken, surely this will I do unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against Me; in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.'

36 Abasajja abo Musa be yatuma okuketta ensi ne bakomawo ne beemulugunyiza ekibiina ky’abantu bonna nga babaleetedde obubaka obutaali bulungi ku nsi eri, era ne babubunyisa mu bantu,

And the men, whom Moses sent to spy out the land, and who, when they returned, made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up an evil report against the land,

37 abasajja abo abaaleeta obubaka obutaali bulungi ne babubunyisa mu bantu kawumpuli n’abattira awo mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda.

even those men that did bring up an evil report of the land, died by the plague before the LORD.

38 Mu basajja bonna abaatumibwa okuketta ensi, Yoswa mutabani wa Nuuni ne Kalebu mutabani wa Yefune be bokka abaasigalawo nga balamu.

But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, remained alive of those men that went to spy out the land.

39 Musa n’ategeeza abaana ba Isirayiri bonna ebigambo ebyo, ne bakungubaga nnyo.

And Moses told these words unto all the children of Israel; and the people mourned greatly.

40 Enkeera mu makya ne bambuka mu nsi ey’ensozi. Ne boogera nti, “Twayonoona, naye nga bwe tuli wano tujja kwambuka tuyingire mu nsi Mukama Katonda gye yatusuubiza.”

And they rose up early in the morning, and got them up to the top of the mountain, saying: 'Lo, we are here, and will go up unto the place which the LORD hath promised; for we have sinned.'

41 Naye Musa n’abagamba nti, “Lwaki munyooma ekiragiro kya Mukama Katonda? Ebyo bye mutegeka tebiyinza kutuukiririra.

And Moses said: 'Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of the LORD, seeing it shall not prosper?

42 Temwambuka kubanga Mukama Katonda tali nammwe. Abalabe bammwe bajja kubawangula.

Go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that ye be not smitten down before your enemies.

43 Kubanga Abamaleki n’Abakanani bajja kuboolekera. Olwokubanga mwekyusizza ne muva ku Mukama Katonda, tajja kubeera nammwe, ekitala kijja kubatta.”

For there the Amalekite and the Canaanite are before you, and ye shall fall by the sword; forasmuch as ye are turned back from following the LORD, and the LORD will not be with you.'

44 Naye era bo ne beesigula ne bambuka mu nsi ey’ensozi, newaakubadde nga Musa teyagenda nabo era nga n’essanduuko ey’endagaano yasigala mu lusiisira.

But they presumed to go up to the top of the mountain; nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and Moses, departed not out of the camp.

45 Awo Abamaleki n’Abakanani abaabeeranga mu nsi eyo ey’ensozi ne bakkirira ne babalumba ne babakubira ddala okubatuusa e Koluma.

Then the Amalekite and the Canaanite, who dwelt in that hill-country, came down, and smote them and beat them down, even unto Hormah.
