Idisu 14
1 Amo gasia, daeya asili hahabe, Isala: ili dunu da se nabawane dinanu.
That night, all the Israeli people cried loudly.
2 Ilia da Mousese amola Elane elama eganewane agoane sia: dasu. Ilia da amane sia: i, “Ninia da Idibidi sogega o guiguda: hafoga: i soge amo ganodini bogomu da defea galu.
The next day they all complained to Aaron and Moses/me. All the men said, “We wish that we had died in Egypt, or in this desert!
3 Hina Gode da abuliba: le nini Ga: ina: ne sogega oule ahoabela: ? Ninia da gegesu ganodini medole legei dagoi ba: mu amola ninia uda amola mano huluane gagulaligi dagoi ba: mu. Ninia da Idibidi sogega buhagimu da defea.
Why is Yahweh bringing us to this land, where we men will be killed with swords? And our wives and children will be taken away [to be slaves]. [Instead of going to Canaan]. It would be better for us to return to Egypt!”
4 Amaiba: le, ilia da gilisili amane sia: dasu, “Defea! Ninia da gaheabolo ouligisu dunu eno ilegele, Idibidi sogega buhagimu.”
Then [some of] them said to each other, “We should choose a leader who will take us back to Egypt!”
5 Amalalu, Mousese amola Elane ela da dunu gilisisu ilia midadi osoboga begudui.
Then Aaron and Moses/I bowed down [to pray] in front of all the Israeli people who had gathered there.
6 Amola Yosiua (Nane egefe) amola Ga: ilebe (Yifane egefe), desega ahoasu dunu aduna, ela da se nababeba: le, abula gadelale,
Joshua and Caleb, two of the men who had explored the land, tore their clothes [because they were very dismayed].
7 Isala: ili dunuma amane sia: i, “Soge ninia ba: i amo da soge noga: iwanedafa.
They said to the Israeli people, “The land that we explored is very good.
8 Hina Gode da ninia hou hahawane ba: sea, E da nini amoga oule asili, amola amo soge ida: iwane amola nasegagi ninima imunu.
If Yahweh is pleased with us, he will lead us into that very fertile [IDM] land, and he will give it to us.
9 Dilia! Hina Godema mae odoga: ma! Amola dunu fi amogawi esala ilima mae beda: ma! Ninia da ilima hedolowane hasalimu. Hina Gode da nini esala. Amola e da ogogosu ‘gode’ liligi amo da ili gagui, E da amo hasali dagoi. Amaiba: le, mae beda: ma!”
So do not rebel against Yahweh! And do not be afraid of the people in that land! We will (gobble them up/completely destroy them) [MET]! They do not have anyone who will protect them, but Yahweh will be with us [and help us]. So do not be afraid of them!”
10 Isala: ili dunu huluane da Mousese, Elane, Ga: ilebe amola Yosiua amo ili igiga medole legemusa: , magagisu. Be hedolodafa, Hina Gode Ea sinenemegi hadigi da Abula Diasu gadodili doaga: i. Amola Isala: ili da Gode Ea sinenemegi hadigi ba: i.
Then all the Israeli people talked about [killing Caleb and Joshua by] throwing stones at them. But [suddenly] Yahweh’s glory appeared to them at the Sacred Tent.
11 Hina Gode da Mousesema amane sia: i, “Amo dunu da bu habowali seda Nama higa: ma: bela: ? Na da ilia gilisisu ganodini, gasa bagade degabo ba: i hou bagohame hamosu. Be ilia da Na hou dafawaneyale hame dawa: sa.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “How long will these people reject me [RHQ]? I am tired of them not believing in what I [can do], in spite of all the miracles I have performed among them [RHQ]!
12 Na da ili wadela: lesima: ne, olo bagade ilima iasimu. Be Na da di amo dunu fi da Isala: ili fi ilia idi amola ilia gasa amo bagade baligisa, amo hamomu. Amola di da amo gaheabolo fi ilima ada esalumu.”
So I will cause a (plague/widespread sickness) to strike them and get rid of them. But I will cause your [descendants] to become a great nation. They will be a nation that is much greater and stronger than these people are.”
13 Be Mousese da Hina Godema bu adole i, “Di da Dia gasaga amo dunu Idibidi fisili masa: ne, goeguda: oule misi. Idibidi dunu da Dia hou waha sia: i amo Dia dunu fi ilima hamoi amo nabasea,
But Moses/I replied to Yahweh, “[Please do not do that, because] the people of Egypt will hear about it! You brought these Israeli people from Egypt by your great power,
14 ilia da dunu amo da Ga: ina: ne soge ganodini esala, ilima olelemu. Ga: ina: ne dunu da Dia hou nabi dagoi. Di, Hina Gode, da nini esala. Dia mobi ganumu da ninima gadodili aligisia, Di, Hina Gode da esalebe amo ba: beba: le, dunu huluane dawa: Ilia da ba: i dagoi. Di da esoga mu mobi ganumu ganodini bisili ahoa amola gasia, lalu ganumu ganodini bisili ahoa.
and the people of Egypt will tell that to the [descendants of Canaan] who live in this land. Yahweh, they have already heard about you. They know that you have (been with/helped) these people and that they have seen you face-to-face. They have heard that your cloud is like a huge pillar that stays over them, and by using that cloud you lead them during the day, and the cloud becomes like a fire at night [to give them light].
15 Be Di da wali Dia fi dunu huluane medole legesea, dunu fi amo da Dia gasa bagade hou nabi dagoi, amo ilia da amane sia: mu,
If you kill these people all at one time, the people-groups who have heard about your [power] will say,
16 ‘Di da hafoga: i soge ganodini Dia fi dunu medole legei. Bai Di da soge amo Di ilima ima: ne ilegei, amoga oule masunu hamedei ba: i.
‘Yahweh was not able to bring them into the land that he promised to give to them, so he killed them in the desert.’
17 Amaiba: le, wali Hina Gode, na da Dima edegesa. Dia gasa bagade hou ninima olelema. Dia musa: ilegele sia: i defele hamoma.
“So Yahweh, now show that you are very powerful. You said,
18 Bai Di amane sia: i, ‘Na, Hina Gode, da hedolo hame ougisa. Na da asigi hou bagade olelesa. Amola wadela: i hou amola lelesu hou amo gogolema: ne olofosa. Be ada amola ame da wadela: le hamosea, Na da mano amola elagaga fifi ahoabe osoda amola amo baligi biyadu fifi ahoabe ilima se dabe imunu.’
‘I do not quickly become angry; instead, I love people very much, and I forgive people for having sinned and having disobeyed my laws. But I will always punish [LIT] people who are guilty of doing what is wrong. When parents sin, I will punish them, but I will also punish their children and their grandchildren and their great-grandchildren and their great-great-grandchildren.’
19 Wali, Hina Gode, Dia noga: iwane gasa bagade hou amola Dia afadenemusa: hame dawa: asigi hou defele, amo dunu ilia wadela: i hou gogolema: ne olofoma. Ilia da Idibidi fisili, asili, goeguda: doaga: le, Di da ilia hou gogolema: ne olofoi. Amo defele, ilia wali hou hamoi amo gogolema: ne olofoma.”
So, because you love people like that, forgive these people for the sins that they have committed, just like you have continued to forgive them ever since they left Egypt.”
20 Hina Gode da bu adole i, “Dia adole ba: su defele, Na da ilia hou gogolema: ne olofomu.
Then Yahweh replied, “I have forgiven them, as you requested me to.
21 Be Na da dafawane ilegele sia: sa. Na da esala amola Na da osobo bagade nabasa, amo da dafawane. Amo defele,
But, just as certainly as I live and that people all over the world [can see] my (glory/glorious power), [I solemnly declare this: ]
22 Isala: ili dunu huluanedafa da Ga: ina: ne soge ganodini mae golili sa: ili, bogomu. Ilia da Na sinenemegi hadigi ba: i dagoi. Ilia da Na degabo ba: i gasa bagade hou Na da Idibidi amola hafoga: i soge ganodini hamoi, amo huluane ba: i dagoi. Be ilia da Na ilima ougima: ne, hame nabasu hou bagade hamonanu.
All these people saw my glory and all the miracles that I performed in Egypt and in the desert, but they disobeyed me, and many times they tested [whether they could continue to do evil things without my punishing them].
23 Ilia da soge amo Na da ilia aowalali ilima imunu ilegele sia: i, amo ganodini hamedafa golili sa: imu. Dunu huluane Nama higasu, ilia da ganodini hamedafa masunu.
Because of that, not one of them will see the land that I promised their ancestors [that I would give to them]. No one who rejected me will see that land.
But Caleb, who serves me [well], is different from the others. He obeys me completely. So I will bring him into that land that he has already seen, and his descendants will inherit/possess some of it.
25 Be Na hawa: hamosu dunu Ga: ilebe, amo ea hou da hisu. E da Nama fuligala: su hou hame yolesi. Na da soge amo e da hogola asi, amo ganodini oule masunu. Egaga fi da Ga: ina: ne soge (amo ganodini wali A: malege dunu amola Ga: ina: ne dunu esala) amo noga: le gagumu. Be dilia huluane, sinidigili, hafoga: i soge Agaba Gogomai la: idiga gala, amoga masa.”
So, since the descendants of Amalek and Canaan who are living in the valleys [in Canaan are very strong], when you leave here tomorrow, [instead of traveling toward Canaan], go back along the road through the desert towards the Red Sea.”
26 Hina Gode da Mousese amola Elane elama amane sia: i,
Then Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me,
27 “Amo wadela: i dunu da habowali seda Nama egane sia: sia: nanoma: bela: ? Na da ilia egane sia: bagade nabala helebe.
“How long will the wicked people of this nation keep complaining about me [RHQ]? I have heard everything that they have grumbled/complained against me.
28 Wali, ilima agoane adole ima, ‘Na da esalebe amo defele, dima dafawane agoane sia: sa. Na da dilia adole ba: su defele dilima hamomu. Na, Hina Gode da sia: i dagoi.
So now tell them this: ‘Just as certainly as I, Yahweh, live, I will do exactly what you said would happen.
29 Dilia da bogomu amola dilia da: i hodo da amo hafoga: i sogega afagogoi dagoi ba: mu. Dunu huluane amo da lalelegele, ode20 baligi da Ga: ina: ne soge ganodini hame golili sai: mu. Bai dilia da Nama egane sia: dalu.
[I will cause] all of you to die here in this desert! Because you grumbled about me, none of you who are more than 20 years old and who were counted when Moses counted everyone
30 Na da dili amo soge ganodini hahawane esaloma: ne sia: i. Be dilia afaega da hamedafa agoai hamomu. Ga: ilebe amola Yosiua, ela fawane da ganodini masunu.
will enter the land that I solemnly promised to give to you. Only Caleb and Joshua will enter that land.
31 Dilia da dilia mano da ha lai dunuga gagulaligi dagoi ba: mu, amane sia: i. Be Na da dilia mano amo soge dilia higasu amo ganodini oule masunu. Amola ilia da amo ganodini hahawane fimu.
You said that your children would be taken from you [to become slaves], but I will take them into the land, and they will enjoy living in the land that you (rejected/said that you could not conquer).
32 Be dilia da guiguda: amo hafoga: i soge ganodini bogomu.
But as for you [adults], you will die here in this desert.
33 Dilia mano da wadela: i hafoga: i soge ganodini ode 40 amoga udigili lalumu. Ilia da dilia dafawaneyale hame dawa: su houba: le, se nabimu. Dilia huluane da bogoi dagoiba: le fawane, amo hou fisi dagoi ba: mu.
And like shepherds [wander around in the desert as they take care of their sheep], your children will wander around in this desert for 40 years. Because you adults were not loyal/faithful to me, your children will suffer until you all die in the desert.
34 Dilia da ode 40 amoga, dilia wadela: i hou dabe se nabasu ba: mu. Dilia da eso40 amoga, Ga: ina: ne soge ea hou ba: i. Amo eso idi defele, dilia da ode 40 se nabimu. Na da dilima ha lai hamoi dagoi, amola dilia da amo hou dawa: mu.
You will suffer for your sins for 40 years. That will be one year for each of the 40 days that the twelve men explored Canaan land. And I will be like an enemy to you.’
35 Na da dafawane sia: sa! Dilia da wadela: i hamosu dunu amola Nama ha lamusa: gilisi. Amaiba: le, Na da amo hou dilima hamomu. Goeguda: hafoga: i soge ganodini, dilia huluane da bogogia: mu. Na, Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi!”
[This will certainly happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it! I will do these things to every one in this group who conspired against me. They (conspired against/decided together to reject) me here in the desert, and they will all die right here in this desert!”
36 Desega ahoasu dunu amo Mousese da Ga: ina: ne soge ea hou ba: lamasa: ne asunasi, ilia da bu misini ogogole ba: i amane sia: ne i dagoiba: le, Isala: ili dunu da Hina Godema egane sia: i. Amaiba: le, Hina Gode da ilima olo bagade iabeba: le, ilia da bogogia: i.
Then the ten men [who had explored Canaan and] who had urged the people to rebel against Yahweh by giving reports that discouraged the people
were immediately struck with a plague/disease that Yahweh sent, and they died.
38 Desega ahoasu dunu fagoyale gala da musa: asi. Be Yosiua amola Ga: ilebe ela fawane hame bogoi.
Of the twelve men who had explored Canaan, only Joshua and Caleb remained alive.
39 Mousese da Hina Gode Ea sia: i amo Isala: ili dunuma olelebeba: le, ilia da ha: giwane didigia: i.
When Moses/I reported to the Israeli people what Yahweh had said, many of them were very sad.
40 Golale hahabedafa, ilia da Ga: ina: ne agolo soge amoga doagala: le golili sa: imusa: asi. Ilia da amane sia: i, “Dafawane! Ninia da wali soge amo Hina Gode da ninima olelei, amoga masunu. Ninia da wadela: le hamoi dagoi.”
So the people got up early the next morning and started to go toward the hilly area in Canaan. They said, “[We know that] we have sinned, but now we [are ready to] enter the land that Yahweh promised to give to us.”
41 Be Mousese da amane sia: i, “Amaiba: le, dilia da abuliba: le wali bu Hina Godema hame nabasu hou hamosala: ? Dilia da hame didili hamoi ba: mu.
But Moses/I said, “Yahweh commanded you [to return to the desert, so] why are you now disobeying him [RHQ]? It will not (succeed/be possible).
42 Mae masa! Hina Gode da dilia gilisili hame esala. Dilia ha lai da dili hasalimu.
Do not try to enter the land now! [If you try], your enemies will defeat you, because Yahweh will not (be with/help) you.
43 Dilia da A: malege amola Ga: ina: ne dunu gegesu ganodini ba: le ganosea, dilia amo gegesu ganodini bogogia: mu. Hina Gode da dili hame fidimu. Bai dilia Ema fa: no bobogemu higasu.”
When you begin to fight the descendants of Amalek and Canaan, they will slaughter you! Yahweh will abandon you, because you have abandoned him.”
44 Be ilia da Mousese ea sia: mae nabawane, gasa fili, Ga: ina: ne agolo sogega asi. Be Hina Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili amola Mousese da mae asili, fisisu ganodini dialebe ba: i.
But even though Moses/I did not leave the camp, and the sacred chest that contained the Ten Commandments was not taken from the camp, the people began to go towards the hilly area in Canaan.
45 Amalalu, A:malege dunu amola Ga: ina: ne dunu amogawi esalu da ilima doagala: le, ili hasali dagoi. Ilia da Isala: ili dunu sefasili, fa: no bobogele, Homa moilai bai bagade amoga doaga: beba: le fawane fisiagai.
Then the descendants of Amalek and Canaan who lived in that hilly area came down and attacked them and chased them as far [south] as [the town of] Hormah.
