Lakkoobsa 14
1 Halkan sana namoonni waldaa sanaa hundinuu sagalee isaanii ol fudhatanii booʼan.
Then the whole congregation lifted up their voices and cried out, and that night the people wept.
2 Israaʼeloonni hundinuu Musee fi Aroonitti guunguman; waldaan guutuunis akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Nu utuu biyyuma Gibxitti dhumnee jiraannee! Yookaan utuu gammoojjii kana keessatti dhumnee jiraannee!
All the Israelites grumbled against Moses and Aaron, and the whole congregation said to them, “If only we had died in the land of Egypt, or if only we had died in this wilderness!
3 Waaqayyo maaliif akka nu goraadeedhaan dhumnuuf jedhee biyya kanatti nu fida? Niitonni keenyaa fi ijoolleen keenya ni boojiʼamu. Biyya Gibxitti deebiʼuun nuu hin wayyuu?”
Why is the LORD bringing us into this land to fall by the sword? Our wives and children will become plunder. Would it not be better for us to go back to Egypt?”
4 Isaanis, “Amma hoogganaa filannee biyya Gibxitti haa deebinu” waliin jedhan.
So they said to one another, “Let us appoint a leader and return to Egypt.”
5 Kana irratti Musee fi Aroon fuula guutummaa yaaʼii Israaʼel kanneen achitti walitti qabamanii duratti addaan lafatti gombifaman.
Then Moses and Aaron fell facedown before the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel.
6 Jarreen biyyattii keessa deemanii basaasan keessaa Iyyaasuun ilmi Nuuniitii fi Kaaleb ilmi Yefunee uffata ofii tarsaasanii,
Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes
7 guutummaa yaaʼii Israaʼelootaatiin akkana jedhan; “Biyyi nu keessa deemnee basaasne sun akka malee gaarii dha.
and said to the whole congregation of Israel, “The land we passed through and explored is an exceedingly good land.
8 Waaqayyo yoo nutti gammade biyya sanatti nu galchee biyyattii aannanii fi damma baaftu sana nuu kenna.
If the LORD delights in us, He will bring us into this land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and He will give it to us.
9 Isin garuu Waaqayyotti hin fincilinaa. Waan nu isaan lilliqimsinuuf namoota biyya sanaa hin sodaatinaa. Gaaddisni isaan irraa kaʼeera; Waaqayyo nu wajjin jira. Isaan hin sodaatinaa.”
Only do not rebel against the LORD, and do not be afraid of the people of the land, for they will be like bread for us. Their protection has been removed, and the LORD is with us. Do not be afraid of them!”
10 Waldaan guutuun garuu dhagaan isaan tumuudhaaf mariʼate. Ulfinni Waaqayyoos fuula dunkaana wal gaʼii duratti Israaʼeloota hundatti mulʼate.
But the whole congregation threatened to stone Joshua and Caleb. Then the glory of the LORD appeared to all the Israelites at the Tent of Meeting.
11 Waaqayyos Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Sabni kun hamma yoomiitti akkana na tuffata? Utuma ani mallattoowwan kanneen hunda gidduu isaaniitti hojjedhuu isaan hamma yoomiitti na amanuu didu?
And the LORD said to Moses, “How long will this people treat Me with contempt? How long will they refuse to believe in Me, despite all the signs I have performed among them?
12 Ani golfaadhaan dhaʼee isaan nan balleessa; siʼi garuu saba isaan caalaa guddaa fi jabaa sin godha.”
I will strike them with a plague and destroy them—and I will make you into a nation greater and mightier than they are.”
13 Museen Waaqayyoon akkana jedhe; “Warri Gibxi waaʼee waan kanaa ni dhagaʼu! Ati humna keetiin saba kana gidduu isaaniitii baaftee fiddeertaatii.
But Moses said to the LORD, “The Egyptians will hear of it, for by Your strength You brought this people from among them.
14 Isaanis waaʼee waan kanaa saba biyya sana keessa jiraatutti ni odeessu. Yaa Waaqayyo, isaan akka ati saba kana gidduu jirtu dhagaʼaniiru; yaa Waaqayyo isaan akka ati fuuluma isaaniitti mulʼatu, akka duumassi kee isaaniin ol jiruu fi akka ati guyyaa utubaa duumessaatiin, halkan immoo utubaa ibiddaatiin isaan dura deemtu dhagaʼanii jiru.
And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have already heard that You, O LORD, are in the midst of this people, that You, O LORD, have been seen face to face, that Your cloud stands over them, and that You go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night.
15 Yoo ati saba kana yeruma tokkotti barbadeessite, saboonni oduu waaʼee keetii dhagaʼan,
If You kill this people as one man, the nations who have heard of Your fame will say,
16 ‘Waaqayyo biyya kakuudhaan waadaa isaaniif gale sanatti saba kana galchuu hin dandeenye; inni kanumaaf gammoojjii keessatti isaan gogorraʼe’ jedhu.
‘Because the LORD was unable to bring this people into the land He swore to give them, He has slaughtered them in the wilderness.’
17 “Egaa akkuma ati akkana jettee dubbatte sanatti jabinni Gooftaa haa argisiifamu:
So now I pray, may the power of my Lord be magnified, just as You have declared:
18 ‘Waaqayyo dafee hin aaru; jaalalli isaa immoo guddaa dha; inni cubbuu fi fincila namaaf dhiisa. Taʼu illee inni nama yakka hojjetu adabu malee hin dhiisu; inni hamma dhaloota sadaffaa fi afuraffaatti sababii cubbuu abbootii isaaniitiif jedhee ijoollee ni adaba.’
‘The LORD is slow to anger and abounding in loving devotion, forgiving iniquity and transgression. Yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished; He will visit the iniquity of the fathers upon their children to the third and fourth generation.’
19 Akkuma yeroo isaan biyya Gibxii baʼanii jalqabdee hamma ammaatti dhiifama isaaniif goote sana akkuma jaalala kee guddaa sanaatti cubbuu saba kanaa dhiisiif.”
Pardon, I pray, the iniquity of this people, in keeping with the greatness of Your loving devotion, just as You have forgiven them ever since they left Egypt.”
20 Waaqayyo akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Ani akkuma ati kadhatte sana isaaniif dhiiseera.
“I have pardoned them as you requested,” the LORD replied.
21 Taʼu illee akkuma ani dhugumaan jiraataa taʼee fi akkuma ulfinni Waaqayyoo dhugumaan lafa hunda guute sana,
“Yet as surely as I live and as surely as the whole earth is filled with the glory of the LORD,
22 namoota ulfina koo arganii, mallattoowwan ani biyya Gibxiitii fi gammoojjii keessatti hojjedhe arganii garuu naa ajajamuu didanii yeroo kudhan na qoran sana keessaa namni tokko iyyuu,
not one of the men who have seen My glory and the signs I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness—yet have tested Me and disobeyed Me these ten times—
23 tokkoon isaanii biyya ani kakuudhaan abbootii isaaniitiif waadaa gale sana hin argan. Namni na tuffate tokko biyya sana hin argu.
not one will ever see the land that I swore to give their fathers. None of those who have treated Me with contempt will see it.
24 Garbicha koo Kaaleb garuu sababii inni hafuura addaa qabuu fi sababii garaa guutuudhaan na duukaa buʼaa jiruuf, ani biyya inni dhaqe sanatti isa galcha; sanyiin isaas biyya sana ni dhaala.
But because My servant Caleb has a different spirit and has followed Me wholeheartedly, I will bring him into the land he has entered, and his descendants will inherit it.
25 Sababii Amaaleqoonnii fi Kanaʼaanonni Sululoota keessa jiraataniif, isin bor deebiʼaatii karaa Galaana Diimaatiin gammoojjiitti qajeelaa.”
Now since the Amalekites and Canaanites are living in the valleys, turn back tomorrow and head for the wilderness along the route to the Red Sea.”
26 Waaqayyo Musee fi Arooniin akkana jedhe:
Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
27 “Waldaan hamaan kun hamma yoomiitti natti guunguma? Ani guungummii Israaʼeloota guungumtoota sanaa dhagaʼeera.
“How long will this wicked congregation grumble against Me? I have heard the complaints that the Israelites are making against Me.
28 Akkana jedhii isaanitti himi; ‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha; ani jiraataadhaatii, akkuma isin gurra kootti dubbattan sana anis isinitti godha:
So tell them: As surely as I live, declares the LORD, I will do to you exactly as I heard you say.
29 Reeffi keessan jechuunis reeffi warra umuriin isaanii waggaa digdamaa fi digdamaa olii kanneen lakkoobsa uummataa keessatti lakkaaʼamanii natti guunguman hundaa gammoojjii kana keessatti harcaʼee hafa.
Your bodies will fall in this wilderness—all who were numbered in the census, everyone twenty years of age or older—because you have grumbled against Me.
30 Kaaleb ilma Yefuneetii fi Iyyaasuu ilma Nuuni malee tokkoon keessan iyyuu biyya ani keessa isin qubachiisuuf kakadhe sanatti hin galtan.
Surely none of you will enter the land in which I swore to settle you, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.
31 Ani garuu ijoollee keessan warra isin ni boojiʼamu jettan sana itti nan galcha; isaanis biyya isin tuffattan sana ni beeku.
But I will bring your children, whom you said would become plunder, into the land you have rejected—and they will enjoy it.
32 Isin garuu, reeffi keessan gammoojjuma kana keessatti harcaʼa.
As for you, however, your bodies will fall in this wilderness.
33 Ijoolleen keessan waggaa afurtama gammoojjii kana keessa ni jooru; hamma isin hundi gammoojjii keessatti dhumtanitti isaan sababii amanamummaa dhabuu keessaniitiif achitti rakkatu.
Your children will be shepherds in the wilderness for forty years, and they will suffer for your unfaithfulness until the last of your bodies lies in the wilderness.
34 Isin akkuma bultii afurtama biyya sana basaastan, akkasuma bultiin tokko akka waggaa tokkootti lakkaaʼamee waggaa afurtama cubbuu keessaniif dhiphattu; yeroo sana isin akka ani isiniin mormu ni beektu.’
In keeping with the forty days you spied out the land, you shall bear your guilt forty years—a year for each day—and you will experience My alienation.
35 Ani Waaqayyo waan kana dubbadheen jira; ani dhugumaan waan kana waldaa hamaa naan mormuuf walitti gurmaaʼe kana guutuutti nan fida. Isaan gammoojjii kana keessatti dhumu; asumattis ni duʼu.”
I, the LORD, have spoken, and I will surely do these things to this entire wicked congregation, which has conspired against Me. They will meet their end in the wilderness, and there they will die.”
36 Namoonni Museen akka isaan biyyattii basaasaniif erge yommuu achii deebiʼanitti waaʼee biyya sanaa gabaasa hamaa waldaatti gabaasanii akka waldaan Museetti guungumu godhan jechuunis
So the men Moses had sent to spy out the land, who had returned and made the whole congregation grumble against him by bringing out a bad report about the land—
37 namoonni waaʼee biyyattii gabaasa hamaa gabaasuutti gaafataman sun dhaʼichaan fuula Waaqayyoo duratti dhuman.
those men who had brought out the bad report about the land—were struck down by a plague before the LORD.
38 Namoota biyyattii basaasuu dhaqan keessaa Iyyaasuu ilma Nuunitii fi Kaaleb ilma Yefunee qofatu duʼa oole.
Of those men who had gone to spy out the land, only Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh remained alive.
39 Museen waan kana hunda Israaʼelootatti himnaan isaan akka malee booʼan.
And when Moses relayed these words to all the Israelites, the people mourned bitterly.
40 Isaanis guyyaa itti aanu ganamaan fiixee biyya gaaraatti ol baʼanii, “Nu cubbuu hojjenneerra; nu amma gara lafa Waaqayyo waadaa nuu gale sanaa dhaqna” jedhan.
Early the next morning they got up and went up toward the ridge of the hill country. “We have indeed sinned,” they said, “but we will go to the place the LORD has promised.”
41 Museen garuu akkana jedhe; “Isin maaliif ajaja Waaqayyoo cabsitu? Wanni kun isiniif hin milkaaʼu!
But Moses said, “Why are you transgressing the commandment of the LORD? This will not succeed!
42 Akka diinota keessaniin hin moʼatamneef ol hin baʼinaa; Waaqayyo isin wajjin hin jiruutii;
Do not go up, lest you be struck down by your enemies, because the LORD is not among you.
43 Amaaleqoonnii fi Kanaʼaanonni achitti isinitti dhufuutii. Sababii isin Waaqayyo irraa garagaltaniif inni isin wajjin hin jiraatu; goraadeedhaan barbadeeffamtu.”
For there the Amalekites and Canaanites will face you, and you will fall by the sword. Because you have turned away from the LORD, He will not be with you.”
44 Isaan garuu utuu Musee fi taabonni kakuu Waaqayyoo qubata keessaa gad hin baʼin yaaduma isaaniitiin kaʼanii fiixee biyya gaaraatti ol baʼan.
But they dared to go up to the ridge of the hill country, though neither Moses nor the ark of the covenant of the LORD moved from the camp.
45 Yommus Amaaleqoonnii fi Kanaʼaanonni gaara sana irra jiraatan gad buʼanii isaan dhaʼanii hamma Hormaatti isaan ariʼan.
Then the Amalekites and Canaanites who lived in that part of the hill country came down, attacked them, and routed them all the way to Hormah.
