Numbers 14

1 Wherefore the whole multitude crying wept that night.

Pea naʻe hiki hake ʻae leʻo ʻoe kakai kotoa pē, ʻo tangi; pea naʻe tangi ʻae kakai ʻi he pō ko ia.

2 And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron, saying:

Pea naʻe lāunga ʻae fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli kia Mōsese pea mo ʻElone: pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kakai kotoa pē kiate kinaua, “ʻAmusiaange ʻekimautolu ne mau mate ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite! Pea ʻamusiaange ʻekimautolu naʻa mau mate ʻi he toafa ni!

3 Would God that we had died in Egypt and would God we may die in this vast wilderness, and that the Lord may not bring us into this land, lest we fall by the sword, and our wives and children be led away captives. Is it not better to return into Egypt?

Pea ko e hā kuo ʻomi ai ʻe Sihova ʻakimautolu ki he fonua ni, ke mau tō ʻi he heletā, kae tuku homau uaifi mo ʻemau fānau ke pōpula? ʻIkai ʻe lelei hake ʻemau toe foki ki ʻIsipite?”

4 And they said one to another: Let us appoint a captain, and let us return into Egypt.

Pea naʻa nau fealēleaʻaki, ʻo pehē, “Ke tau fakanofo ha ʻeiki, pea tau foki ki ʻIsipite.

5 And when Moses and Aaron heard this, they fell down flat upon the ground before the multitude of the children of Israel.

Pea naʻe tō foʻohifo ʻa Mōsese mo ʻElone ki hona mata ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fakataha ʻoe kakai ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.”

6 But Josue the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephone, who themselves also had viewed the land, rent their garments,

Pea ko Siosiua ko e foha ʻo Nuni, mo Kelepi ko e foha ʻo Sifune, naʻa na ʻiate kinautolu naʻe vakai ki he fonua, pea naʻa na hae hona kofu:

7 And said to all the multitude of the children of Israel: The land which we have gone round is very good:

Pea naʻa na lea ki he fakataha ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, “Ko e fonua naʻa mau ʻalu ke vakai ki ai, ko e fungani fonua lelei.

8 If the Lord be favourable, he will bring us into it, and give us a land flowing with milk and honey.

Kapau ʻe fiemālie ʻa Sihova ʻiate kitautolu, pea te ne ʻave ʻakitautolu ki he fonua ko ia, ʻo foaki ia kiate kitautolu; ko e fonua ʻoku pito ʻi he huʻahuhu mo e honi.

9 Be not rebellious against the Lord: and fear ye not the people of this land, for we are able to eat them up as bread. All aid is gone from them: the Lord is with us, fear ye not.

Ke ʻoua pe naʻa mou angatuʻu kia Sihova, pea ʻoua naʻa mou manavahē ki he kakai ʻoe fonua; he ko e meʻakai maʻatautolu ʻakinautolu: kuo mole honau mālohi ʻiate kinautolu, pea ʻoku ʻiate kitautolu ʻa Sihova: ʻoua naʻa mou manavahē kiate kinautolu.”

10 And when all the multitude cried out, and would have stoned them, the glory of the Lord appeared over the tabernacle of the covenant to all the children of Israel.

Ka naʻe tala ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ke lisingi ʻakinaua ʻaki ʻae maka. Pea naʻe hā mai ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova ʻi he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli.

11 And the Lord said to Moses: How long will this people detract me? how long will they not believe me for all the signs that I have wrought before them?

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese, “ʻE fēfē hono fuoloa ʻoe fakaʻita mai ʻae kakai ni kiate au? ʻE fēfē hono fuoloa mo e teʻeki tenau tui kiate au, ʻi he ngaahi fakaʻilonga ne u fakahā kiate kinautolu?

12 I will strike them therefore with pestilence, and will consume them: but thee I will make a ruler over a great nation, and a mightier than this is.

Te u taaʻi ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻae mahaki fakaʻauha, pea te u liʻaki ʻakinautolu, pea te u ngaohi koe ko e puleʻanga lahi mo mālohi ʻiate kinautolu.”

13 And Moses said to the Lord: That the Egyptians, from the midst of whom thou hast brought forth this people,

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese kia Sihova, “ʻE toki fanongo ki ai ʻae kakai ʻIsipite, (he naʻa ke ʻomi ʻi ho mālohi ʻae kakai ni meiate kinautolu; )

14 And the inhabitants of this land, (who have heard that thou, O Lord, art among this people, and art seen face to face, and thy cloud protecteth them, and thou goest before them in a pillar of a cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night, )

Pea tenau tala ia ki he kakai ʻoe fonua ni: he kuo nau fanongo ko koe ko Sihova ʻoku ke ʻi he kakai ni, kuo ke femamataʻaki pe, pea kuo tuʻu hoʻo ʻao ʻi ʻolunga ʻiate kinautolu, pea ʻoku ke muʻomuʻa ʻiate kinautolu, ʻi he pou ʻoe ʻao ʻi he ʻaho, pea mo e pou ʻoe afi ʻi he pō.

15 May hear that thou hast killed so great a multitude as it were one man and may say:

Pea ko eni, kapau te ke tāmateʻi ʻae kakai ni kotoa pē, ʻo hangē ko ha tangata ʻe tokotaha, ʻe toki lea ai ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga kuo nau fanongo ki ho ongoongo, ʻo pehē,

16 He could not bring the people into the land for which he had sworn, therefore did he kill them in the wilderness.

Koeʻuhi kuo ʻikai faʻa ʻomi ʻe Sihova ʻae kakai ni ki he fonua naʻa ne fuakava ai kiate kinautolu, ko ia kuo ne tāmateʻi ai ʻakinautolu ʻi he toafa.

17 Let their the strength of the Lord be magnified, as thou hast sworn, saying:

Pea ko eni, ʻoku ou kole ki hoʻo ʻafio, tuku ke lahi ʻae mālohi ʻo hoku ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola, naʻe pehē,

18 The Lord is patient and full of mercy, taking away iniquity and wickedness, and leaving no man clear, who visitest the sins of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.

‌ʻOku kātaki fuoloa ʻa Sihova, pea ʻoku lahi ʻene ʻaloʻofa, ʻoku faʻa fakamolemole ʻe ia ʻae angahala mo e fai meʻa kovi, ka ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito fakatonuhiaʻi ʻe ia ʻae halaia: ʻoku fakahoko ki he fānau hono nunuʻa ʻoe hia ʻae mātuʻa ʻo aʻu ki he toʻutangata ʻe tolu mo hono fā.

19 Forgive, I beseech thee, the sins of this people, according to the greatness of thy mercy, as thou hast been merciful to them from their going out of Egypt unto this place.

‌ʻOku ou kole ki hoʻo ʻafio, ke ke fakamolemole ʻae angahala ʻae kakai ni ʻo tatau mo hono lahi ʻo hoʻo ʻaloʻofa, pea hangē ko hoʻo fakamolemole ʻae kakai ni, mei ʻIsipite ʻo aʻu mai ki heni.”

20 And the Lord said: I have forgiven according to thy word.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova, “Kuo u fakamolemole ʻo hangē ko hoʻo lea.

21 As I live: and the whole earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord.

Ka e hangē ko e moʻoni ʻa ʻeku moʻui, ʻe pito ʻa māmani kotoa pē ʻi he nāunau ʻo Sihova.

22 But yet all the men that have seen my majesty, and the signs that I have done in Egypt, and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now ten times, and have not obeyed my voice,

Koeʻuhi ko e kau tangata kotoa pē naʻe mamata ki hoku nāunau, pea mo ʻeku ngaahi ngāue mana, ʻaia ne u fai ʻi ʻIsipite, pea mo e toafa, kuo nau fakaʻitaʻi au ʻo liunga hongofulu, pea naʻe ʻikai tenau fanongo ki hoku leʻo;

23 Shall not see the land for which I aware to their fathers, neither shall any one of them that hath detracted me behold it.

Ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻikai tenau mamata ki he fonua ne u fuakava ai ki heʻenau ngaahi tamai, pea ʻe ʻikai mamata ai ha taha ʻiate kinautolu naʻe fakaʻita kiate au:

24 My servant Caleb, who being full of another spirit hath followed me, I will bring into this land which he hath gone round: and his seed shall possess it.

Ka ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Kelepi, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae laumālie kehe, pea kuo muimui ʻaupito ia kiate au, ko ia te u ʻomi ai ia ki he fonua naʻe ʻalu ia ki ai; pea ʻe maʻu ia ʻe hono hako.

25 For the Amalecite and the Chanaanite dwell in the valleys. Tomorrow remove the camp, and return into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea.

(Pea ko eni, naʻe nofo ʻi he vahaʻa moʻunga ʻae kau ʻAmaleki mo e kau Kēnani, ) Mou toe foki ʻapongipongi, pea mou ō ki he toafa ʻi he hala ki he Tahi Kulokula.”

26 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:

Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese mo ʻElone, ʻo pehē,

27 How long doth this wicked multitude murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel.

“ʻE fēfē hono fai fuoloa ʻae kakai kovi ni, mo ʻenau lāunga kiate au? Kuo u fanongo ki he lāunga ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, kuo nau lāunga ai kiate au.

28 Say therefore to them: As I live, saith the Lord: According as you have spoken in my hearing, so will I do to you.

Ke ke tala kiate kinautolu, ‘ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ko e moʻoni ʻa ʻeku moʻui, pea te u fai kiate kimoutolu ʻo hangē ko hoʻomou lea ʻi hoku telinga:

29 In the wilderness shall your carcasses lie. All you that were numbered from twenty years old and upward, and have murmured against me,

‌ʻE tō homou ʻangaʻanga ʻi he toafa ni ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe lau ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻo fakatatau ki homou lau kotoa pē, mei hono taʻu ʻe uofulu tupu, ʻakinautolu ʻaia kuo lāunga kiate au,

30 Shall not enter into the land, over which I lifted up my bend to make you dwell therein, except Caleb the son of Jephone, and Josue the son of Nun.

Ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻikai te mou hoko atu ki he fonua, ʻaia ne u fuakava ke tuku kiate kimoutolu ke mou nofo ai, ka ko Kelepi ko e foha ʻo Sifune, mo Siosiua ko e foha ʻo Nuni.

31 But your children, of whom you said, that they should be a prey to the enemies, will I bring in: that they may see the land which you have despised.

Ka ko hoʻomou fānau, ʻakinautolu naʻa mou pehē ki ai tenau pōpula, te u ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki ai, pea ʻe ʻilo ʻekinautolu ʻae fonua kuo mou liʻaki.

32 Your carcasses shall lie in the wilderness.

Ka ko kimoutolu, ʻe tō homou ʻangaʻanga ʻi he toafa ni.

33 Your children shall wander in the desert forty years, and shall bear your fornication, until the carcasses of their fathers be consumed ill the desert,

Pea ʻe ʻalu fano pe hoʻomou fānau ʻi he toafa ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu, ʻo fua hoʻomou feʻauaki, kaeʻoua ke ʻosiʻosi homou ʻangaʻanga ʻi he toafa.

34 According to the number of the forty days, wherein you viewed the land: year shall be counted for a day. And forty years you shall receive your iniquities, and shall know my revenge:

‌ʻE fakatatau ki he ngaahi ʻaho ʻaia naʻa mou mataki ai ʻae fonua, ʻio, ko e ʻaho ʻe fāngofulu, ko e ʻaho taki taha ki he taʻu ʻe taha, ʻio, ko e taʻu ʻe fāngofulu te mou fua hoʻomou angahala, pea te mou ʻilo ai ʻeku fakamamahi,

35 For as I have spoken, so will I do to all this wicked multitude, that hath risen up together against me: in this wilderness shall it faint away and die.

Kuo u lea ʻaki eni ʻeau ko Sihova, ko e moʻoni te u fai ia ki he kakai kovi ni kotoa pē, kuo tānaki ʻo fakataha ke angatuʻu kiate au: ʻe fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻi he toafa ni, pea tenau mate ʻi ai.

36 Therefore all the men, whom Moses had sent to view the land, and who at their return had made the whole multitude to murmur against him, speaking ill of the land that it was naught,

Pea ko e kau tangata, naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese kenau ʻalu ʻo vakai ki he fonua, ne nau liliu mai, pea naʻa nau fakalanga lāunga ʻi he kakai kiate ia, ʻi heʻenau ʻomi ʻae ongoongo kovi ʻoe fonua,

37 Died and were struck in the sight of the Lord.

‌ʻIo, ʻae kau tangata naʻe ʻomi ʻae ongoongo kovi ʻoe fonua, naʻa nau mate ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻi he mahaki fakaʻauha.

38 But Josue. the son of Nun. and Caleb the son of Jephone lived, of all them that had gone to view the land.

Ka naʻe fakamoʻui ʻa Siosiua ko e foha ʻo Nuni, mo Kelepi ko e foha ʻo Sifune, naʻa na ʻiate kinautolu naʻe ʻalu ke vakai ki he fonua.

39 And Moses spoke all these words to all the children of Israel, and the people mourned exceedingly.

Pea naʻe tala ʻe Mōsese ʻae ngaahi lea ni ki he fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli: pea naʻe loto mamahi lahi ʻae kakai.

40 And behold rising up very early in the morning, they went up to the top of the mountain, and said: We are ready to go up to the place, of which the Lord hath spoken: for we have sinned.

Pea naʻa nau tuʻu hengihengi hake pe, pea naʻa nau ō ki he tumutumu ʻoe moʻunga, ʻonau pehē, “Vakai, kuo tau ʻi heni, ka tau ō ki he potu ʻaia kuo talaʻofa ki ai ʻe Sihova: he kuo mau angahala.”

41 And Moses said to them: Why transgress you the word of the Lord, which shall not succeed prosperously with you?

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese, “Ko e hā eni ʻoku mou talangataʻa ai ki he fekau ʻa Sihova? Ka ʻe ʻikai monūʻia ia.

42 Go not up, for the Lord is not with you: lest you fall before your enemies.

‌ʻOua naʻa mou ʻalu hake, he ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate kimoutolu ʻa Sihova; naʻa taaʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo homou ngaahi fili.

43 The Amalecite and the Chanaanite are before you, and by their sword you shall fall, because you would not consent to the Lord, neither will the Lord be with you.

He ko e kau ʻAmaleki mo e kau Kēnani ʻoku nau ʻi ai ʻi homou ʻao, pea te mou tō ʻi he heletā: koeʻuhi kuo mou fulituʻa kia Sihova, ko ia ʻe ʻikai ai ʻiate kimoutolu ʻa Sihova.”

44 But they being blinded went up to the top of the mountain. But the ark of the testament of the Lord and Moses departed not from the camp.

Ka naʻa nau talangataʻa pe ʻonau ʻalu ki he tumutumu ʻoe moʻunga: ka ko e puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova, pea mo Mōsese, naʻe ʻikai ʻalu mei he ʻapitanga.

45 And the Amalecite came down, and the Chanaanite that dwelt in the mountain: and smiting and slaying them pursued them as far as Horma.

Pea naʻe toki hifo mai ʻae kau ʻAmaleki, mo e kau Kēnani, ʻakinautolu naʻe nofo ʻi he moʻunga ko ia, ʻonau taaʻi ʻakinautolu, mo haha ʻakinautolu, ʻo aʻu ki Hoama.
