Nomery 14
1 Dia nanandratra ny feony ny fiangonana rehetra ka nitaraina; ary nitomany ny olona tamin’ iny alina iny.
All the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept 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!
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 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?
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 Dia nifampitaona hoe izy: Andeha hifidy mpitarika isika ka hiverina any Egypta.
They said to one another, “Let’s choose a leader, and let’s return into Egypt.”
5 Ary Mosesy sy Arona dia niankohoka teo anatrehan’ ny fivorian’ ny fiangonana, dia ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra.
Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of 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;
Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were of those who spied out the land, tore their clothes.
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.
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 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 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 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 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 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.
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 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?
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 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 the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of you a nation greater and mightier than they.”
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,
Moses said to the LORD, “Then the Egyptians will hear it; for you brought up this people in your might from amongst them.
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.
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 Fa raha mahafaty ity firenena ity toy ny olona iray Hianao, dia hiteny ny jentilisa, izay nandre ny lazanao, ka hanao hoe:
Now if you killed this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of you will 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 was not able to bring this people into the land which he swore to them, therefore he has slain them in the wilderness.’
17 Ary ankehitriny, aoka hiseho ny halehiben’ ny herin’ ny Tompo, araka ilay teninao hoe:
Now please let the power of the Lord be great, according as you have spoken, 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 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 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.
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 Dia hoy Jehovah: Efa navelako araka ny teninao izany.
The LORD said, “I have pardoned according to your word;
21 Kanefa raha velona koa Aho, ka ho feno ny voninahitr’ i Jehovah ny tany rehetra,
but in very deed—as I live, and as all the earth shall be filled with the LORD’s glory—
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,
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 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 swore to their fathers, neither shall any of those who despised me 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 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 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.
Since the Amalekite and the Canaanite dwell in the valley, tomorrow turn and go into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea.”
26 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy sy Arona ka nanao hoe:
The LORD spoke to Moses and to 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 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 Lazao aminy hoe: Raha velona koa Aho, hoy Jehovah, dia araka izay nolazainareo teo anatrehako no hataoko aminareo:
Tell them, ‘As I live, says the LORD, surely as you have spoken in my ears, so I will 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 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 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.
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 Fa ny zanakareo madinika kosa, izay nolazainareo fa ho babo, dia izy no ho entiko miditra, ary izy no hahalala ny tany izay nolavinareo.
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 Fa ny aminareo, dia hiampatrampatra amin’ ity efitra ity ny fatinareo;
But as for you, your dead bodies 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.
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 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.
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 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. 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 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,
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 dia matin’ ny areti-mandringana teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah ireny lehilahy nilaza ratsy ny tany ireny.
even those men who brought up an evil report of the land, died by 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.
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 Dia nolazain’ i Mosesy tamin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra izany teny izany; ka dia nanjoretra terỳ ny olona.
Moses told these words to all the children of Israel, and the people mourned greatly.
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.
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 Dia hoy Mosesy: Nahoana no mandika ny didin’ i Jehovah ianareo? fa tsy hambinina izany.
Moses said, “Why now do you disobey the commandment of the LORD, since it shall not prosper?
42 Aza miakatra, fa tsy momba anareo Jehovah,
Don’t go up, for the LORD isn’t amongst you; that way you won’t be struck down before 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 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 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.
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 Dia nidina ny Amalekita sy ny Kananita, izay nonina teo amin’ izany tendrombohitra izany, ka namely azy ary nanorotoro azy hatrany Horma.
Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites who lived in that mountain, and struck them and beat them down even to Hormah.
