Numeri 14
1 Usiku ihwohwo vanhu vose veungano vakasimudza manzwi avo vakachema zvikuru.
And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.
2 VaIsraeri vose vakapopotera Mozisi naAroni uye ungano yose yakati kwavari, “Dai bedzi takanga tafira muIjipiti! Kana murenje rino!
And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said to them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness!
3 Ko, Jehovha ari kuuyireiko nesu kunyika ino zvoongotirega tichindourayiwa nomunondo? Vakadzi navana vedu vachatorwa senhapwa. Hazvaiva nani here kuti tidzokere kuIjipiti?”
And why has the LORD brought us to this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt?
4 Zvino vakataurirana vachiti, “Tinofanira kusarudza mutungamiri tidzokere kuIjipiti.”
And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.
5 Ipapo Mozisi naAroni vakawira pasi nezviso zvavo pamberi peungano yose yavaIsraeri yakanga iri ipapo.
Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.
6 Joshua mwanakomana waNuni naKarebhu mwanakomana waJefune, avo vakanga vari pakati pavaya vakanga vandosora nyika, vakabvarura nguo dzavo.
And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes:
7 Vakati kuungano yose yavaIsraeri, “Nyika yatakapfuura napakati payo tikaisora yakanaka kwazvo.
And they spoke to all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land.
8 Kana Jehovha achifadzwa nesu, achatitungamirira kuti tipinde munyika iyoyo, nyika inoyerera mukaka nouchi, agoipa kwatiri.
If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which flows with milk and honey.
9 Chete imi regai kumukira Jehovha. Uye musatya vanhu venyika iyo, nokuti tichavamedza. Kudzivirirwa kwavo kwabviswa, asi Jehovha anesu. Musavatya.”
Only rebel not you against the LORD, neither fear you the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defense is departed from them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not.
10 Asi ungano yose yakataura nezvokuti vatakwe namabwe. Ipapo kubwinya kwaJehovha kwakaonekwa paTende Rokusangana navaIsraeri vose.
But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And the glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before all the children of Israel.
11 Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, “Vanhu ava vachasvika riniko vachingondizvidza? Vacharamba kunditenda kusvikira riniko, kunyange ndakaita zviratidzo nezvishamiso zvose pakati pavo?
And the LORD said to Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be before they believe me, for all the signs which I have showed among them?
12 Ndichavarova nedenda ndigovaparadza, asi iwe ndichakuita rudzi rukuru kwazvo uye rwakasimba kukunda ivo.”
I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of you a greater nation and mightier than they.
13 Mozisi akati kuna Jehovha, “Ipapo vaIjipita vachanzwa pamusoro pazvo! Kuti makabudisa vanhu ava kubva pakati pavo nesimba renyu.
And Moses said to the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear it, (for you brought up this people in your might from among them; )
14 Uye vachaudza vanhu vanogara munyika ino pamusoro pazvo. Vakatozvinzwa kare kuti imi, Jehovha, mugere navanhu ava uye kuti imi, Jehovha, makaonekwa chiso nechiso, uye kuti gore renyu rinogara pamusoro pavo, uye kuti munovatungamirira neshongwe yegore masikati uye neshongwe yomoto usiku.
And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they have heard that you LORD are among this people, that you LORD are seen face to face, and that your cloud stands over them, and that you go before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.
15 Kana mukauraya vanhu vose ava panguva imwe chete, ndudzi dzakanzwa mukurumbira uyu pamusoro penyu dzichati,
Now if you shall kill all this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of you will speak, saying,
16 ‘Jehovha akanga asingagoni kuisa vanhu ava kunyika yaakanga avavimbisa nemhiko; saka akavauraya murenje.’
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 “Zvino simba raJehovha ngariratidzwe, sezvamakataura muchiti:
And now, I beseech you, let the power of my LORD be great, according as you have spoken, saying,
18 ‘Jehovha anononoka kutsamwa, azere norudo uye anoregerera zvivi nokumukira. Kunyange zvakadaro haangaregi kuranga ane mhosva, anoranga vana nokuda kwechivi chamadzibaba kusvikira kuchizvarwa chechitatu nechechina.’
The LORD is long-suffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation.
19 Zvichienderana norudo rwenyu rukuru, regererai chivi chavanhu ava, sezvamakavaregerera kubva panguva yavakabva kuIjipiti kusvikira zvino.”
Pardon, I beseech you, the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of your mercy, and as you have forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.
20 Jehovha akapindura akati, “Ndavaregerera sezvawakumbira iwe.
And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to your word:
21 Asi hazvo, noupenyu hwangu zvirokwazvo, uye zvirokwazvo sokuzara kunoita nyika yose nokubwinya kwaJehovha,
But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD.
22 hakuna mumwe wavarume vakaona kubwinya kwangu nezvishamiso zvandakaita muIjipiti nomurenje asi vakasanditeerera, uye vakandiedza kanokwana kagumi,
Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not listened to my voice;
23 hakuna mumwe wavo achazoona nyika yandakavimbisa madzitateguru avo nemhiko. Hakuna kana mumwe akandizvidza achazofa akaona nyika yandakavimbisa madzitateguru avo nemhiko. Hakuna kana mumwe akandizvidza achazofa akaiona.
Surely they shall not see the land which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:
24 Asi nokuda kwokuti muranda wangu Karebhu ano mweya wakasiyana navamwe uye anonditevera nomwoyo wose, ndichamupinza munyika yaakaenda kwairi, uye ichava nhaka yezvizvarwa zvake.
But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and has followed me fully, him will I bring into the land into where he went; and his seed shall possess it.
25 Sezvo vaAmareki navaKenani vachigara mumipata, dzokai mangwana mufambe makananga kurenje muchitevedza nzira inoenda nokuGungwa Dzvuku.”
(Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelled in the valley.) Tomorrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
26 Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi naAroni,
And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
27 “Ungano iyi icharamba ichindipopotera kusvikira riniko? Ndanzwa kunyunyuta kwavaIsraeri vokungopopota havo ava.
How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.
28 Saka vaudze kuti, ‘Zvirokwazvo noupenyu hwangu, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, ndichakuitirai zvinhu zvacho zvandakanzwa muchireva muchiti:
Say to them, As truly as I live, says the LORD, as you have spoken in my ears, so will I do to you:
29 Zvitunha zvenyu zvichawira murenje rino, imi mose muna makore makumi maviri kana makumi maviri neanoraudza makaverengwa pakuverengwa uye mukandipopotera.
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 which have murmured against me.
30 Hakuna mumwe wenyu achapinda munyika yandakakupikirai noruoko rwakasimudzwa kuti uve musha wenyu, kunze kwaKarebhu mwanakomana waJefune naJoshua mwanakomana waNuni.
Doubtless you shall not come into the land, concerning which I swore to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
31 Asi kana vari vana venyu vamakati vachatapwa, ndichavapinza kuti vafare munyika yamaramba imi.
But your little ones, which you said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which you have despised.
32 Asi imi zvitunha zvenyu zvichawira murenje rino.
But as for you, your carcasses, they shall fall in this wilderness.
33 Vana venyu vachava vafudzi muno kwamakore makumi mana, vachitambudzika nokuda kwokusatendeka kwenyu, kusvikira chitunha chenyu chokupedzisira chavata murenje rino.
And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your prostitutions, until your carcasses be wasted in the wilderness.
34 Kwamakore makumi mana, gore richimirira zuva rimwe nerimwe ramazuva makumi mana amakasora nyika, muchatambudzika nokuda kwezvivi zvenyu uye muchaziva kuti zvinoita sei kuti ini ndirwe nemi.’
After the number of the days in which you searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall you bear your iniquities, even forty years, and you shall know my breach of promise.
35 Ini, Jehovha, ndazvitaura, uye zvirokwazvo ndichaita zvinhu izvi kuungano yose iyi yakaipa, yakabatana pamwe chete kuti indirwise. Vachaperera murenje muno; vachafira muno.”
I the LORD have said, I will surely do it to all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.
36 Saka varume vakanga vatumwa naMozisi kundosora nyika, vaya vakadzoka vakaita kuti ungano yose ipopotere Mozisi nemhaka yokuparadzira mashoko akaipa pamusoro payo:
And the men, which Moses sent to search the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up a slander on the land,
37 varume ava vakanga vaparadzira mashoko akaipa pamusoro penyika, vakarohwa vakaurayiwa nedenda pamberi paJehovha.
Even those men that did bring up the evil report on the land, died by the plague before the LORD.
38 Pavarume vakaenda kundosora nyika, Joshua mwanakomana waNuni naKarebhu mwanakomana waJefune ndivo bedzi vakararama.
But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of the men that went to search the land, lived still.
39 Mozisi akati azivisa izvi kuvaIsraeri vose, vakachema zvikuru.
And Moses told these sayings to all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly.
40 Mangwana acho mangwanani, vakakwidza vakananga kumusoro kunyika yamakomo marefu. Vakati, “Takatadza hedu. Tichakwidza tiende kunyika yatakavimbiswa naJehovha.”
And they rose up early in the morning, and got them up into the top of the mountain, saying, See, we be here, and will go up to the place which the LORD has promised: for we have sinned.
41 Asi Mozisi akati kwavari, “Sei musingateereri kurayira kwaJehovha? Izvi hazvibudiriri!
And Moses said, Why now do you transgress the commandment of the LORD? but it shall not prosper.
42 Musakwidza kumusoro nokuti Jehovha haazi pakati penyu. Muchakundwa navavengi venyu,
Go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that you be not smitten before your enemies.
43 nokuti vaAmareki navaKenani vachasangana nemi ikoko. Nokuti makafuratira Jehovha, iye haangavi nemi uye muchaurayiwa nomunondo.”
For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and you shall fall by the sword: because you are turned away from the LORD, therefore the LORD will not be with you.
44 Kunyange zvakadaro, nepfungwa dzavo, vakaenda vakananga kunyika yamakomo marefu, kunyange Mozisi asina kuenda uye areka yaJehovha yesungano isina kubviswawo pamusasa.
But they presumed to go up to the hill top: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and Moses, departed not out of the camp.
45 Ipapo vaAmareki navaKenani vaigara munyika yamakomo vakaburuka vakavarwisa vakavadzingirira kusvikira kuHoma.
Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which dwelled in that hill, and smote them, and discomfited them, even to Hormah.
