Tauanga 14
1 Na ka hamama te reo o te whakaminenga katoa; a ka tangi te iwi i taua po.
And all the congregation lifted up their voice and cried; and the people wept all that night.
2 A amuamu ana nga tama katoa a Iharaira ki a Mohi raua ko Arona: a ka mea te whakaminenga katoa ki a raua, Aue, me i mate tatou ki te whenua o Ihipa! aue, me i mate ranei tatou ki tenei koraha!
And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron; and all the congregation said to them,
3 He aha tatou i kawea mai ai e Ihowa ki tenei whenua, kia hinga i te hoari: ka waiho a tatou wahine, a tatou tamariki hei taonga parau: ehara ianei te hoki ki Ihipa i te mea pai mo tatou?
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 A ka mea ratou tetahi ki tetahi, Me whakatu he upoko mo tatou, ka hoki ki Ihipa.
And they said one to another, Let us make a ruler, and return into Egypt.
5 Na ka tapapa a Mohi raua ko Arona ki te aroaro o te huihui katoa o te whakaminenga o nga tama a Iharaira.
And Moses and Aaron fell upon their face before all the congregation of the children of Israel.
6 A ka haehae a Hohua, tama a Nunu, raua ko Karepe, tama a Iepune, i o raua kakahu; ko raua hoki etahi o nga kaitutei o te whenua:
But Joshua the [son] of Naue, and Chaleb the [son] of Jephonne, of [the number of] them that spied out the land, rent their garments,
7 A ka korero raua ki te whakaminenga katoa o nga tama a Iharaira, ka mea, He whenua pai rawa te whenua i haerea nei, i tuteia nei e matou.
and spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, The land which we surveyed is indeed extremely good.
8 Ki te aro mai a Ihowa ki a tatou, ka kawea tatou e ia ki taua whenua, ka homai ano e ia ki a tatou; he whenua e rerengia ana e te waiu, e te honi.
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 Kaua raia koutou e tutu ki a Ihowa, kaua hoki e wehi i nga tangata o taua whenua, he taro hoki ratou ma tatou: kua mahue ratou i to ratou whakamarumaru, a kei a tatou a Ihowa: kaua e wehi i a ratou.
Only depart not from the Lord; and fear ye 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] among us: fear them not.
10 Heoi ko ta te whakaminenga katoa ki, me aki raua ki te kohatu. Na ko te putanga mai o te kororia o Ihowa i runga i te tapenakara o te whakaminenga ki te aroaro o nga tama katoa a Iharaira.
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 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Kia pehea ake te roa o te whakahawea a tenei iwi ki ahau? ahea ranei ratou whakapono ai ki ahau, he maha nei hoki aku tohu i whakakitea i roto i a ratou?
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 among them?
12 Ka patua ratou e ahau ki te mate uruta, ka peia atu, a ka meinga koe hei iwi nui atu, kaha atu, i a ratou.
I will smite them with death, and destroy them; and I will make of thee and of thy father's house a great nation, and much greater than this.
13 Ano ra ko Mohi ki a Ihowa, Akuanei ka rongo nga Ihipiana; nau hoki tenei iwi i whakaputa mai i runga i tou kaha i roto i a ratou;
And Moses said to the Lord, So Egypt shall hear, for thou hast brought up this people from them by thy might.
14 Na ka korero ratou ki nga tangata o tenei whenua: kua rongo hoki ratou kei roto koe, e Ihowa, i tenei iwi: e kitea ana ano koe e Ihowa, titiro atu, titiro mai, e tu ana hoki tou kapua i runga i a ratou, e haere ana hoki koe i mua i a ratou i rot o i te pou kapua i te awatea, i roto hoki i te pou ahi i te po.
Moreover all the dwellers upon this land have heard that thou art Lord in the midst of this people, who, O Lord, art seen [by them] face to face, and thy cloud rests upon them, and thou goest before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, and by night in a pillar of fire.
15 Na ki te whakamatea e koe tenei iwi, ano he tangata kotahi, katahi nga iwi i rongo nei ki tou rongo ka whai kupu, ka mea,
And [if] thou shalt destroy this nation as one man; then all the nations that have heard thy name shall speak, saying,
16 No te mea kihai i kaha a Ihowa ki te kawe i tenei iwi ki te whenua i oati ai ia ki a ratou, koia i whakamatea ai ratou e ia ki te koraha.
Because the Lord could not bring this people into the land which he sware to them, he has overthrown them in the wilderness.
17 Na kia nui ra te kaha o toku Ariki, kia rite ki tau i korero ai, i mea ai,
And now, O Lord, let thy strength be exalted, as thou spakest, saying,
18 He puhoi a Ihowa ki te riri, he nui tona atawhai, e muru ana i te kino, i te tutu, e kore rawa ano e tuku noa i te hunga he; e mea ana i te kino o nga matua kia tau ki nga tamariki, a te toru, te wha ra ano, o nga whakatupuranga.
The Lord [is] long-suffering 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 Tena, murua te kino o tenei iwi, kia rite ki te nui o tou atawhai, ki tau muru hoki i nga hara o tenei iwi, o Ihipa mai ano, a taea noatia a konei.
Forgive this people their sin according to thy great mercy, as thou wast favourable to them from Egypt until now.
20 Na ka mea a Ihowa, Kua murua e ahau, kua peratia me tau i ki mai na:
And the Lord said to Moses, I am gracious to them according to thy word.
21 Otiia, e ora nei ahau, a ka kapi te whenua katoa i te kororia o Ihowa;
But [as] I live and my name is living, so the glory of the Lord shall fill all the earth.
22 Na, i te mea ko enei tangata katoa, i kite nei i toku kororia, i aku merekara hoki i meinga ki Ihipa, ki te koraha, a ka tekau nei a ratou whakamatautauranga i ahau, kahore ano i whakarongo ki toku reo;
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 hearkened to my voice,
23 Ina, e kore rawa ratou e kite i te whenua i oati ai ahau ki o ratou matua, e kore ano tetahi o te hunga i whakahawea nei ki ahau e kite i reira:
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 Engari taku pononga a Karepe, he wairua ke hoki tona, a kua tino whai ia i ahau; e kawea ia e ahau ki te whenua i haere atu na ia; a ka riro a reira i ona uri.
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 Na kei te raorao nga Amareki me nga Kanaani e noho ana. Tahuri atu koutou apopo, haere atu ki te koraha, na te huarahi ki te Moana Whero.
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 I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi raua ko Arona, i mea,
And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
27 Kia pehea ake te roa o taku whakamanawanui ki tenei whakaminenga kino, e amuamu nei ki ahau? Kua rongona e ahau nga amuamu a nga tama a Iharaira, e amuamu nei ratou ki ahau.
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 Mea atu ki a ratou, E ora ana ahau, e ai ta Ihowa, ko ta koutou i korero mai ai ki oku taringa, he pono, ko taku tena e mea ai ki a koutou,
Say to them, [As] I live, saith the Lord: surely as ye spoke into my ears, so will I do to you.
29 Ka hinga o koutou tinana ki tenei koraha; a ko koutou katoa i taua, puta noa atu i to koutou tokomaha, nga mea e rua tekau, he maha ake hoki, o ratou tau, te hunga hoki i amuamu nei ki ahau,
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 E kore koutou e tae ki te whenua i oati ai ahau ka whakanohoia koutou ki reira, heoi ano ko Karepe tama o Iepune, raua ko Hohua tama a Nunu.
ye 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 Otiia ko a koutou potiki, i mea na koutou ka waiho hei taonga parau, ka kawea e ahau ki reira, a ka mohio ratou ki te whenua i whakahaweatia nei e koutou.
And your little ones, who ye said should be a prey, them will I bring into the land; and they shall inherit the land, which ye rejected.
32 Ko koutou ia, ka hinga o koutou tinana ki tenei koraha.
And your carcases shall fall in this wilderness.
33 A ka kopikopiko noa a koutou tamariki i te koraha, e wha tekau nga tau, ma ratou hoki e waha a koutou puremutanga, kia poto ra ano o koutou tinana ki te koraha.
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 Kia rite ra ano ki te maha o nga ra, ki nga ra e wha tekau, i tuteia ai e koutou te whenua, he tau he ra, he tau he ra; e wha tekau nga tau e waha ai e koutou o koutou kino, a ka mohio koutou ki te takanga o taku kupu.
According to the number of the days during which ye spied the land, forty days, a day for a year, ye shall bear your sins forty years, and ye shall know my fierce anger.
35 Naku, na Ihowa te kupu, ina, ka meatia tenei e ahau ki tenei whakaminenga kino katoa, kua huihui nei ki te whakahe ki ahau: ka poto ratou ki tenei koraha, ka mate ano hoki ki konei.
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 Na, ko nga tangata i unga e Mohi hei tutei mo te whenua, i hoki mai nei, i mea nei kia amuamutia ia e te whakaminenga katoa, i ta ratou kawenga mai i te korero kino mo te whenua,
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 Ko aua tangata, na ratou nei i kawe mai te korero kino mo te whenua, i mate ratou i te whiu ki te aroaro o Ihowa.
the men that spoke evil reports against the land, even died of the plague before the Lord.
38 Ko Hohua ia, tama a Nunu, raua ko Karepe, tama a Iepune, ko raua i ora o nga tangata i haere ki te tutei i te whenua.
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 Na korerotia ana e Mohi enei kupu katoa ki nga tama katoa a Iharaira: a ka pouri rawa te iwi.
And Moses spoke these words to all the children of Israel; and the people mourned exceedingly.
40 Na ka maranga wawe ratou i te ata, a ka haere ki te tihi o te maunga, me te ki ano, Tenei matou, a ka haere matou ki runga, ki te wahi i korerotia mai e Ihowa: kua hara hoki matou.
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 Na ka mea a Mohi, He aha koutou i takahi ai i te kupu a Ihowa, i te mea kahore e whai wahi?
And Moses said, Why do ye transgress the word of the Lord? ye shall not prosper.
42 Kaua e haere, kahore na hoki a Ihowa i a koutou, kei patua koutou ki te aroaro o o koutou hoariri.
Go not up, for the Lord is not with you; so shall ye fall before the face of your enemies.
43 Kei reira hoki nga Amareki ratou ko nga Kanaani, kei mua i a koutou, a ka hinga koutou i te hoari: mo koutou kua tahuri atu i te whai i a Ihowa, koia a Ihowa te piri ai ki a koutou.
For Amalec and the Chananite [are] there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword; because ye have disobeyed the Lord and turned aside, and the Lord will not be among you.
44 Heoi ka pokanoa ratou ki te piki ki te tihi o te maunga: otiia kihai te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa, me Mohi hoki, i hiki atu i te puni.
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 Na ka heke iho nga Amareki ratou ko nga Kanaani e noho ana i taua maunga, a patua ana ratou, tukituki rawa, a taea noatia a Horema.
And Amalec and the Chananite that dwelt in that mountain came down, and routed them, and destroyed them unto Herman; and they returned to the camp.
