Hesabu 14
1 Usiku huo watu wote walilia kwa sauti.
Then all ye Congregation lifted vp their voice, and cryed: and the people wept that night,
2 Watu wote wa Israeli wakamlalamikia Musa na Haruni. Watu wote wakawaambia, “Ni bora kama tungelifia katika nchi ya Misri, au katika hili!
And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron: and the whole assemblie said vnto them, Would God we had died in the land of Egypt, or in this wildernesse: would God we were dead.
3 Kwa nini BWANA alituleta katika nchi hii ili tufe kwa upanga? Wake zetu na watoto wetu watakuwa watumwa wao. Je, si bora kwetu kurudi Misri?”
Wherefore nowe hath the Lord brought vs into this lande to fall vpon the sworde? our wiues, and our children shall be a pray: were it not better for vs to returne into Egypt?
4 Wakasemezana wao kwa wao, “Na tuchague kiongozi mwingine, turudi Misri.”
And they said one to another, Let vs make a Captaine and returne into Egypt.
5 Ndipo Musa na Haruni wakalala kifudifudi mbele ya kundi lote la wana wa Israeli.
Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assemblie of the Congregation of the children of Israel.
6 Joshua mwana wa Nuni na Kalebu mwana wa Yefune, ambao walikuwa miongoni mwa wale waliokuwa waemtumwa kwenda kuipeleleza nchi wakachana mavazi yao.
And Ioshua the sonne of Nun, and Caleb the sonne of Iephunneh two of them that searched the lande, rent their clothes,
7 Wakawaambia watu wote wa Israeli. Walisema, “Ile nchi tuliyopita katikati yake ni nchi nzuri sana.
And spake vnto all the assemblie of the childre of Israel, saying, The land which we walked through to search it, is a very good lande.
8 Kama BWANA amependezwa nasi, basi atatuingiza katika nchi hii na kutupatia. Ile nchi inatiririka maziwa na asali.
If the Lord loue vs, he will bring vs into this land, and giue it vs, which is a land that floweth with milke and honie.
9 Lakini msimwasi BWANA, na msiwahofie hao wakazi wa nchi hiyo. Tutawateketeza kwa urahisi kama kula chakula. Ulinzi wao utaondolewa kutoka kwao, kwa sababu BWANA yuko pamoja nasi. Msiwahofie.”
But rebell not ye against the Lord, neither feare ye the people of the land: for they are but bread for vs: their shielde is departed from the, and the Lord is with vs, feare them not.
10 Lakini watu wote walitishia kuwapiga kwa mawe mpaka wafe. Kisha utukufuwa BWANA ukaonekana kwenye hema ya kukutania kwa watu wote wa Israeli.
And all the multitude saide, Stone them with stones: but the glory of the Lord appeared in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, before all the children of Israel.
11 BWANA akamwambi Musa, “watu hawa watanidharau hadi lini? Wataendelea kutoniamini mpaka lini? Nijapokuwa nimefanya ishara kwa nguvu zangu kati yao?
And the Lord said vnto Moses, How long will this people prouoke me, and howe long will it be, yer they beleeue me, for al the signes which I haue shewed among them?
12 Nitawapiga kwa mapigo, na kuwaondolea urithi, na kufanya taifa kubwa kutoka kwenye ukoo wako ambalo litakuwa kubwa na lenye nguvu kuliko wao.
I will smite them with the pestilence and destroy them, and will make thee a greater nation and mightier then they.
13 Musa akamwambia BWANA, “Kama utafanya hivi, Na Wamisiri wakisikia habari hizi, na kwa sababu uliwaokoa kutoka kwao kwa nguvu zako.
But Moses saide vnto the Lord, When the Egyptians shall heare it, (for thou broughtest this people by thy power from among them)
14 Basi watawaambia wakazi wa nchi hii. Wamesikia ya kuwa wewe BWANA u kati ya watu hawa, kwa sababu uso wako waonekana. Wingu lako husimama juu ya watu wetu. Wewe huwatangulia katika nguzo ya wingu wakati wa mchana na katika nguzo ya moto wakati wa usiku.
Then they shall say to the inhabitants of this land, (for they haue heard that thou, Lord, art among this people, and that thou, Lord, art seene face to face, and that thy cloude standeth ouer them, and that thou goest before them by day time in a pillar of a cloude, and in a pillar of fire by night)
15 Sasa kama utawaua hawa watu kama mtu mmoja, basi mataifa ambao wamesikia sifa zako watasema,
That thou wilt kill this people as one man: so the heathen which haue heard the fame of thee, shall thus say,
16 “Kwa Sababu BWANA hana uwezo wa kuwapeleka watu hawa katika nchi ambayo aliwaapia kuwapa, ndiyo maana amewaua katika jangwa hili.'
Because the Lord was not able to bring this people into the lande, which he sware vnto them, therefore hath he slaine them in the wildernesse.
17 Sasa, nakusihi, utumie uweza wako. Kwa kuwa umesema kuwa,
And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my Lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying,
18 'BWANA si mwepesi wa hasira na ni mwingi wa uaminifu katika agano. Yeye husamehe uovu na uasi. Kwa vyovyote vile atafutilia hatia atakapoleta hukumu ya dhambi za mababu juu ya wazao wao, kwa kizazi cha tatu na cha nne.'
The Lord is slowe to anger, and of great mercie, and forgiuing iniquitie, and sinne, but not making the wicked innocent, and visiting the wickednes of the fathers vpon the children, in the thirde and fourth generation:
19 Ninakusihi uwasameha watu hawa dhambi zao kwa sababu ya ukuu wa uaminifu wa agano lako, kama vile ambavyo umekuwa ukiwasamehe watu hawa tokea wakati wakiwa Misri mpaka sasa.”
Be mercifull, I beseech thee, vnto the iniquitie of this people, according to thy great mercie, and as thou hast forgiuen this people from Egypt, euen vntill nowe.
20 BWANA akasema, Nimewasamehe kwa kama ulivyoomba,
And the Lord said, I haue forgiuen it, according to thy request.
21 bali kama Niishivyo, na kama vile dunia yote itakavyojazwa na utukufu wangu,
Notwithstanding, as I liue, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord.
22 watu wote walioona utukufu wangu na ishara za nguvu zangu nilizotenda kule Misri na kule jangwani - Lakini bado wamenijaribu mara kumi sasa na hawakuisikiliza sauti yangu.
For all those men which haue seene my glory, and my miracles which I did in Egypt, and in the wildernes, and haue tempted me this ten times, and haue not obeyed my voyce,
23 Kwa hiyo nasema kwamba hakika hawataiona nchi ile ambayo niliwaahdi kuwapa mababu zao. Hakuna hata mmoja wao ambao wamenidharau watakaoiona,
Certainely they shall not see the lande, whereof I sware vnto their fathers: neither shall any that prouoke me, see it.
24 isipokuwa mtumishi wangu Kalebu, kwa sababu alikuwa na roho nyingine. Yeye amenifuata kwa ukamilifu; Yeye nitampeleka katika nchi hiyo ambayo alienda kuipeleleza. Wazao wake wataimilki.
But my seruant Caleb, because he had another spirite, and hath followed me stil, euen him will I bring into the lande, whither he went, and his seede shall inherite it.
25 (Sasa Waamaleki na Wakanani waliishi katika bonde.) Kesho mtageuka na kwenda katika jangwa kwa njia ya bahari ya Shamu.”
Nowe the Amalekites and the Canaanites remaine in the valley: wherefore turne backe to morowe, and get you into the wildernesse, by the way of the red Sea.
26 BWANA akanena na Musa na Haruni, akasema,
After, the Lord spake vnto Moses and to Aaron, saying,
27 “Nitaivumilia jamii ya watu hawa waovu ambao wananinung'unikia mpaka lini? Nimeyasikia malalamiko ya wana wa Israeli dhidi yangu.
How long shall I suffer this wicked multitude to murmure against me? I haue heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmure against me.
28 Waambie, 'Kama niishivyo,' asema BWANA, 'kama vile mlivyosema katika masikio yake, nitawafanyia jambo hili:
Tell them, As I liue (saith the Lord) I wil surely do vnto you, euen as ye haue spoken in mine eares.
29 Maiti zenu zitaanguka katika jangwa hili, Ninyi nyote mliolalamika dhidi yangu, ninyi mliohesabiwa kwenye ile sensa, idadi yote ya watu kuanzia umri wa mika ishirini na kuendelea.
Your carkeises shall fall in this wildernes, and all you that were counted through all your nombers, from twentie yeere olde and aboue, which haue murmured against me,
30 Kwa hakika hamtaingia kwenye ile nchi ambayo niliahidi kuwapa kuwa makazi yenu, isipokuwa Kalebu mwana wa Yefune na Joshua mwana wa Nuni.
Ye shall not doubtles come into the land, for the which I lifted vp mine hande, to make you dwell therein, saue Caleb the sonne of Iephunneh, and Ioshua the sonne of Nun.
31 Bali watoto wenu ambao mlisema kuwa watakuwa watumwa, wao ndio nitakaowapeleka katika nchi hiyo. Wao wataifurahia nchi ambayo nInyi mmeikataa!
But your children, (which ye said shoulde be a pray) them will I bring in, and they shall knowe the lande which ye haue refused:
32 Lakini ninyi, maiti zenu zitaanguka katika jangwa hili.
But euen your carkeises shall fall in this wildernes,
33 Watoto wenu watakuwa wachungaji katika jangwa hili kwa muda wa miaka arobaini. Lazima watabeba madhara ya matendo yenu ya kutokuamini mpaka mwisho wa maiti ya mwisho jangwani.
And your children shall wander in the wildernesse, fourtie yeeres, and shall beare your whoredomes, vntill your carkeises be wasted in the wildernesse.
34 Kama vile ilivyo hesabu ya siku ambayo mliipeleleza nchi—siku arobaini, vivyo hivyo mtabeba madhara ya dhambi zenu kwa muda wa miaka arobaini—mwaka mmoja kwa kila siku moja, na mtajua kuwa ni sawa na kuwa adui yangu.
After the number of the dayes, in the which ye searched out the lande, euen fourtie dayes, euery day for a yeere, shall ye beare your iniquity, for fourtie yeeres, and ye shall feele my breach of promise.
35 Mimi BWANA nimesema. Hakika nitafanya hivi kwa kizazi hiki chote kiovu ambacho kimekusanyika kinyume na Mimi. Wao watakatwa kabisa, na watafia hapa.'”
I the Lord haue said, Certainely I will doe so to all this wicked company, that are gathered together against me: for in this wildernesse they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.
36 Kwa hiyo wale wanaume ambao Musa aliwatuma kwenda kuingalia ile nchi wote walikufa kwa tauni mbele ya BWANA.
And the men which Moses had sent to search the land (which, when they came againe, made all the people to murmure against him, and brought vp a slander vpon the lande)
37 Hawa ni wale ambao waliorudi na kutoa taarifa mbaya juu ya nchi. Hii iliwafanya watu wote wamlalamikie Musa.
Euen those men that did bring vp that vile slander vpon the land, shall die by a plague before the Lord.
38 Kati ya watu wale waliokuwa wameenda kuiangalia nchi ile, ni Joshua mwana wa Nuni na Kalebu mwana wa Yefune tu ndio waliobaki hai.
But Ioshua the sonne of Nun, and Caleb the sonne of Iephunneh, of those men that went to search the land, shall liue.
39 Musa alipowataarifu mambo haya watu wote wa Israeli waliomboleza sana.
Then Moses tolde these sayings vnto all the children of Israel, and the people sorowed greatly.
40 Waliamka asubuhi na mapema wakaenda juu ya mlima na kisha wakasema, “Tazama, tuko hapa, na tutaenda mahali pale ambapo BWANA ametuahidi, kwa kuwa tumetenda dhambi.”
And they rose vp earely in the morning, and gate them vp into the toppe of the mountaine, saying, Loe, we be readie, to goe vp to the place which the Lord hath promised: for wee haue sinned.
41 Lakini Musa akasema, “Kwa nini sasa mnapinga amri ya BWANA? hamtafanikiwa.
But Moses said, Wherefore transgresse yee thus the commandement of the Lord? it will not so come well to passe.
42 Msiende, kwa sababu BWANA hayuko pamoja nanyi kuwalinda dhidi ya maadui zenu.
Goe not vp (for the Lord is not among you) lest ye be ouerthrowe before your enemies.
43 Waamaleki na Wakanaani wako kule, na mtakufa kwa upanga kwa sababu mliumtegea mgongo BWANA na hamkumfuata. Kwa hiyo hatakuwa pamoja nanyi.
For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye shall fall by the sworde: for in as much as ye are turned away from the Lord, the Lord also will not be with you.
44 Lakini walithubutu kukwea mlimani; lakini si Musa wala Sanduku la agano la BWANA walioondoka kambini.
Yet they presumed obstinately to goe vp to the top of the mountaine: but the Arke of the couenant of the Lord, and Moses departed not out of the campe.
45 Kisha Waamaleki walikuja chini, pia wale Wakanaani walioshi kwenye hiyo milima. Wakawavamia Waisreli wakawapiga na kuwaangusha mpaka Horima.
Then the Amalekites and the Canaanites, which dwelt in that mountaine, came downe and smote them, and consumed them vnto Hormah.
