Nomery 14

1 Dia nanandratra ny feony ny fiangonana rehetra ka nitaraina; ary nitomany ny olona tamin’ iny alina iny.

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

2 Dia nimonomonona tamin’ i Mosesy sy Arona ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra, ka hoy ny fiangonana rehetra taminy; Inay anie isika mba maty tany amin’ ny tany Egypta ihany; na inay anie isika mba maty tatỳ amin’ ity efitra ity!

And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron; and all the congregation said to them,

3 Ary nahoana Jehovah no mitondra antsika ho amin’ ity tany ity ho lavon-tsabatra, ary ny vadintsika sy ny zanatsika madinika ho babo; tsy aleontsika miverina ho any Egypta va?

Would we had died in the land of Egypt! or in this wilderness, would we had died! and why does the Lord bring us into this land to fall in war? our wives and our children shall be for a prey: now then it is better to return into Egypt.

4 Dia nifampitaona hoe izy: Andeha hifidy mpitarika isika ka hiverina any Egypta.

And they said one to another, Let us make a ruler, and return into Egypt.

5 Ary Mosesy sy Arona dia niankohoka teo anatrehan’ ny fivorian’ ny fiangonana, dia ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra.

And Moses and Aaron fell upon their face before all the congregation of the children of Israel.

6 Ary Josoa, zanak’ i Nona, sy Kaleba, zanak’ i Jefone, izay isan’ ny nisafo ny tany, dia nandriatra ny fitafiany;

But Joshua the [son] of Naue, and Chaleb the [son] of Jephonne, of [the number of] them that spied out the land, tore their garments,

7 ary niteny tamin’ ny fiangonana, dia ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra, izy roa lahy ka nanao hoe: Ny tany izay nalehanay nosafoina dia tany tsara indrindra.

and spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, The land which we surveyed is indeed extremely good.

8 Raha sitrak’ i Jehovah isika, dia hitondra antsika ho amin’ izany tany izany Izy, ka homeny antsika, dia tany tondra-dronono sy tantely.

If the Lord choose us, he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which flows with milk and honey.

9 Fa aza miodina amin’ i Jehovah ianareo, ary aza matahotra ny tompon-tany; fa hanina ho antsika ireo; ny fiarovany efa niala taminy, ary Jehovah momba antsika; koa aza matahotra azy ianareo.

Only depart not from the Lord; and fear you not the people of the land, for they are meat for us; for the season [of prosperity] is departed from them, but the Lord [is] amongst us: fear them not.

10 Fa hoy ny fiangonana rehetra: Torahy vato izy roa lahy. Kanjo ny voninahitr’ i Jehovah niseho teo amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana, teo anatrehan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra.

And all the congregation bade stone them with stones; and the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud on the tabernacle of witness to all the children of Israel.

11 Dia hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Mandra-pahoviana no hamotsifotsian’ ity firenena ity Ahy? ary mandra-pahoviana no tsy hinoany Ahy noho ny famantarana rehetra izay nataoko teo aminy?

And the Lord said to Moses, How long does this people provoke me? and how long do they refuse to believe me for all the signs which I have wrought amongst them?

12 Hamely azy amin’ ny areti-mandringana Aho ka hamongotra azy, fa hanao anao ho firenena lehibe sy mahery noho izy kosa.

I will strike them with death, and destroy them; and I will make of you and of your father's house a great nation, and much greater than this.

13 Dia hoy Mosesy tamin’ i Jehovah: Dia ho ren’ ny Egyptiana izany; fa ny herinao no nitondranao ity firenena ity nivoaka avy teo aminy,

And Moses said to the Lord, So Egypt shall hear, for you have brought up this people from them by your might.

14 ary holazainy amin’ ny monina eo amin’ ity tany ity izany; ary efa reny fa Hianao Jehovah no eto amin’ ity firenena ity, ary Hianao Jehovah no hita mifanatrika, ary ny rahonao mijanona eo amboniny, ary Hianao no mitarika azy eo aloha amin’ ny andri-rahona nony andro, ary amin’ ny andri-afo nony alina.

Moreover all the dwellers upon this land have heard that you are Lord in the midst of this people, who, O Lord, are seen [by them] face to face, and your cloud rests upon them, and you go before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, and by night in a pillar of fire.

15 Fa raha mahafaty ity firenena ity toy ny olona iray Hianao, dia hiteny ny jentilisa, izay nandre ny lazanao, ka hanao hoe:

And [if] you shall destroy this nation as one man; then all the nations that have heard your name shall speak, saying,

16 Satria tsy zakan’ i Jehovah ny mitondra iny firenena iny ho any amin’ ny tany izay nianianany taminy homena azy, dia namono azy tany an-efitra Izy.

Because the Lord could not bring this people into the land which he sware to them, he has overthrown them in the wilderness.

17 Ary ankehitriny, aoka hiseho ny halehiben’ ny herin’ ny Tompo, araka ilay teninao hoe:

And now, O Lord, let your strength be exalted, as you spoke, saying,

18 Mahari-po Jehovah sady be famindram-po, mamela heloka sy fahadisoana, kanefa tsy mety manamarina ny meloka, fa mamaly ny heloky ny ray amin’ ny zanaka hatramin’ ny zafiafy sy ny zafindohalika.

The Lord [is] longsuffering and merciful, and true, removing transgressions and iniquities and sins, and he will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the sins of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation.

19 Mifona aminao aho, mamelà ny helok’ ity firenena ity araka ny halehiben’ ny famindram-ponao, sy araka ny namelanao ny helok’ ity firenena ity hatrany Egypta ka mandraka ankehitriny.

Forgive this people their sin according to your great mercy, as you were favourable to them from Egypt until now.

20 Dia hoy Jehovah: Efa navelako araka ny teninao izany.

And the Lord said to Moses, I am gracious to them according to your word.

21 Kanefa raha velona koa Aho, ka ho feno ny voninahitr’ i Jehovah ny tany rehetra,

But [as] I live and my name is living, so the glory of the Lord shall fill all the earth.

22 ireo lehilahy rehetra ireo, izay nahita ny voninahitro sy ny famantarako izay nataoko tany Egypta sy tany an-efitra, nefa naka fanahy Ahy izao im-polo izao, ka tsy nihaino ny feoko,

For all the men who see my glory, and the signs which I wrought in Egypt, and in the wilderness, and have tempted me this tenth time, and have not listened to my voice,

23 dia tsy hahita mihitsy ny tany izay nianianako tamin’ ny razany homena azy; eny, izay rehetra namotsifotsy Ahy dia samy tsy hahita izany.

surely they shall not see the land, which I sware to their fathers; but their children which are with me here, as many as know not good or evil, every inexperienced youth, to them will I give the land; but none who have provoked me shall see it.

24 Fa ny amin’ i Kaleba mpanompoko kosa, satria fanahy hafa no tao aminy, ka tanteraka tamin’ ny fanarahana Ahy izy, dia ho entiko ho any amin’ ny tany izay nalehany izy, ary ny zanany handova izany.

But my servant Chaleb, because there was another spirit in him, and he followed me, I will bring him into the land into which he entered, and his seed shall inherit it.

25 Ary ny Amalekita sy ny Kananita no mponina eo amin’ ny lohasaha; koa rahampitso dia miverena ianareo, ka mankanesa any an-efitra amin’ ny lalana mankany amin’ ny Ranomasina Mena.

But Amalec and the Chananite dwell in the valley: to-morrow turn and depart for the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea.

26 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy sy Arona ka nanao hoe:

And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,

27 Mandra-pahoviana no mbola handeferako amin’ izao fiangonana ratsy mimonomonona amiko izao? Efa reko ny fimonomononan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, izay imonomononany amiko.

How long [shall I endure] this wicked congregation? I have heard their murmurings against me, [even] the murmuring of the children of Israel, which they have murmured concerning you.

28 Lazao aminy hoe: Raha velona koa Aho, hoy Jehovah, dia araka izay nolazainareo teo anatrehako no hataoko aminareo:

Say to them, [As] I live, says the Lord: surely as you spoke into my ears, so will I do to you.

29 Etỳ amin’ ity efitra ity no hiampatramparan’ ny fatinareo; ary ianareo rehetra izay voalamina araka ny nanisana anareo, dia ny hatramin’ ny roa-polo taona no ho miakatra, izay efa nimonomonona tamiko,

Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all those of you that were reviewed, and those of you that were numbered from twenty years old and upward, all that murmured against me,

30 dia tsy ho tonga mihitsy any amin’ ny tany izay nananganako tanana hamponenana anareo, afa-tsy Kaleba, zanak’ i Jefone, sy Josoa, zanak’ i Nona.

you shall not enter into the land for which I stretched out my hand to establish you upon it; except only Chaleb the son of Jephonne, and Joshua the [son] of Naue.

31 Fa ny zanakareo madinika kosa, izay nolazainareo fa ho babo, dia izy no ho entiko miditra, ary izy no hahalala ny tany izay nolavinareo.

And your little ones, who you said should be a prey, them will I bring into the land; and they shall inherit the land, which you rejected.

32 Fa ny aminareo, dia hiampatrampatra amin’ ity efitra ity ny fatinareo;

And your carcases shall fall in this wilderness.

33 ary ny zanakareo hirenireny toy ny mpiandry ondry atỳ an-efitra efa-polo taona ka hiharan’ ny valin’ ny fijangajanganareo, mandra-pahafatinareo rehetra atỳ an-efitra.

And your sons shall be fed in the wilderness forty years, and they shall bear your fornication, until your carcases be consumed in the wilderness.

34 Araka ny isan’ ny andro efa-polo izay nisafoanareo ny tany, ka ny andro iray hosoloana taona iray no hitondranareo ny helokareo efa-polo taona; ka dia ho fantatrareo ny fahafoizako anareo.

According to the number of the days during which you spied the land, forty days, a day for a year, you shall bear your sins forty years, and you shall know my fierce anger.

35 Izaho Jehovah efa nilaza fa hataoko tokoa izany amin’ izao fiangonana ratsy rehetra izao, izay miangona hiodina amiko; etỳ amin’ ity efitra ity no hahalany ritra azy, ary etỳ no hahafatesany.

I the Lord have spoken, Surely will I do thus to this evil congregation that has risen up together against me: in this wilderness they shall be utterly consumed, and there they shall die.

36 Ary ny lehilahy izay nirahin’ i Mosesy hisafo ny tany, dia izay niverina ka nampimonomonona ny fiangonana rehetra tamin’ i Mosesy, satria nanao laza ratsy ny tany izy,

And the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land, and who came and murmured against it to the assembly so as to bring out evil words concerning the land, —

37 dia matin’ ny areti-mandringana teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah ireny lehilahy nilaza ratsy ny tany ireny.

the men that spoke evil reports against the land, even died of the plague before the Lord.

38 Fa Josoa, zanak’ i Nona, sy Kaleba, zanak’ i Jefone, kosa, izay isan’ ny lehilahy nandeha nisafo ny tany, dia velona ihany.

And Joshua the son of Naue and Chaleb the son of Jephonne [still] lived of those men that went to spy out the land.

39 Dia nolazain’ i Mosesy tamin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra izany teny izany; ka dia nanjoretra terỳ ny olona.

And Moses spoke these words to all the children of Israel; and the people mourned exceedingly.

40 Dia nifoha maraina koa izy ary niakatra tany an-tampon’ ny tendrombohitra ka nanao hoe: Indreto izahay hiakatra ho any amin’ ny tany izay nolazain’ i Jehovah, fa efa nanota izahay.

And they rose early in the morning and went up to the top of the mountain, saying, Behold, we that are here will go up to the place of which the Lord has spoken, because we have sinned.

41 Dia hoy Mosesy: Nahoana no mandika ny didin’ i Jehovah ianareo? fa tsy hambinina izany.

And Moses said, Why do you transgress the word of the Lord? you shall not prosper.

42 Aza miakatra, fa tsy momba anareo Jehovah,

Go not up, for the Lord is not with you; so shall you fall before the face of your enemies.

43 fandrao ho resy eo anoloan’ ny fahavalonareo ianareo; fa ny Amalekita sy ny Kananita dia eo anoloanareo, ka ho lavon-tsabatra ianareo; satria niala tamin’ ny fanarahana an’ i Jehovah ianareo, dia tsy homba anareo Izy.

For Amalec and the Chananite [are] there before you, and you shall fall by the sword; because you have disobeyed the Lord and turned aside, and the Lord will not be amongst you.

44 Kanjo sahisahy foana izy ka niakatra teo an-tampon’ ny tendrombohitra ihany; nefa Mosesy sy ny fiaran’ ny faneken’ i Jehovah tsy niala teo an-toby.

And having forced their passage, they went up to the top of the mountain; but the ark of the covenant of the Lord and Moses stirred not out of the camp.

45 Dia nidina ny Amalekita sy ny Kananita, izay nonina teo amin’ izany tendrombohitra izany, ka namely azy ary nanorotoro azy hatrany Horma.

And Amalec and the Chananite that lived in that mountain came down, and routed them, and destroyed them to Herman; and they returned to the camp.
