¹And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.

¹[Ny nandavan'ny Zanak'Isiraely tsy hiakatra ho eny amin'ny tany Kanana] Dia nanandratra ny feony ny fiangonana rehetra ka nitaraina; ary nitomany ny olona tamin'iny alina iny.

²And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness!

²Dia nimonomonona tamin'i Mosesy sy Arona ny Zanak'Isiraely rehetra, ka hoy ny fiangonana rehetra taminy; Inay anie isika mba maty tany amin'ny tany Egypta ihany; na inay anie isika mba maty tatỳ amin'ity efitra ity!

³And wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto 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?

³Ary nahoana Jehovah no mitondra antsika ho amin'ity tany ity ho lavon-tsabatra, ary ny vadintsika sy ny zanatsika madinika ho babo; tsy aleontsika miverina ho any Egypta va?

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

⁴Dia nifampitaona hoe izy: Andeha hifidy mpitarika isika ka hiverina any Egypta.

⁵Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.

⁵Ary Mosesy sy Arona dia niankohoka teo anatrehan'ny fivorian'ny fiangonana, dia ny Zanak'Isiraely rehetra.

⁶And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes:

⁶Ary Josoa, zanak'i Nona, sy Kaleba, zanak'i Jefone, izay isan'ny nisafo ny tany, dia nandriatra ny fitafiany;

⁷And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land.

⁷ary niteny tamin'ny fiangonana, dia ny Zanak'Isiraely rehetra, izy roa lahy ka nanao hoe: Ny tany izay nalehanay nosafoina dia tany tsara indrindra.

⁸If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey.

⁸Raha sitrak'i Jehovah isika, dia hitondra antsika ho amin'izany tany izany Izy, ka homeny antsika, dia tany tondra-dronono sy tantely.

⁹Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye 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.

⁹Fa aza miodina amin'i Jehovah ianareo, ary aza matahotra ny tompon-tany; fa hanina ho antsika ireo; ny fiarovany efa niala taminy, ary Jehovah momba antsika; koa aza matahotra azy ianareo.

¹⁰But 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.

¹⁰Fa hoy ny fiangonana rehetra: Torahy vato izy roa lahy. Kanjo ny voninahitr'i Jehovah niseho teo amin'ny trano-lay fihaonana, teo anatrehan'ny Zanak'Isiraely rehetra.

¹¹And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have showed among them?

¹¹Dia hoy Jehovah tamin'i Mosesy: Mandra-pahoviana no hamotsifotsian'ity firenena ity Ahy? ary mandra-pahoviana no tsy hinoany Ahy noho ny famantarana rehetra izay nataoko teo aminy?

¹²I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.

¹²Hamely azy amin'ny areti-mandringana Aho ka hamongotra azy, fa hanao anao ho firenena lehibe sy mahery noho izy kosa.

¹³And Moses said unto the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear it, (for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them;)

¹³Dia hoy Mosesy tamin'i Jehovah: Dia ho ren'ny Egyptiana izany; fa ny herinao no nitondranao ity firenena ity nivoaka avy teo aminy,

¹⁴And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they have heard that thou LORD art among this people, that thou LORD art seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.

¹⁴ary holazainy amin'ny monina eo amin'ity tany ity izany; ary efa reny fa Hianao Jehovah no eto amin'ity firenena ity, ary Hianao Jehovah no hita mifanatrika, ary ny rahonao mijanona eo amboniny, ary Hianao no mitarika azy eo aloha amin'ny andri-rahona nony andro, ary amin'ny andri-afo nony alina.

¹⁵Now if thou shalt kill all this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying,

¹⁵Fa raha mahafaty ity firenena ity toy ny olona iray Hianao, dia hiteny ny jentilisa, izay nandre ny lazanao, ka hanao hoe:

¹⁶Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which he sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness.

¹⁶Satria tsy zakan'i Jehovah ny mitondra iny firenena iny ho any amin'ny tany izay nianianany taminy homena azy, dia namono azy tany an-efitra Izy.

¹⁷And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my Lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying,

¹⁷Ary ankehitriny, aoka hiseho ny halehiben'ny herin'ny Tompo, araka ilay teninao hoe:

¹⁸The 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 upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.

¹⁸Mahari-po Jehovah sady be famindram-po, mamela heloka sy fahadisoana, kanefa tsy mety manamarina ny meloka, fa mamaly ny heloky ny ray amin'ny zanaka hatramin'ny zafiafy sy ny zafindohalika.

¹⁹Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.

¹⁹Mifona aminao aho, mamelà ny helok'ity firenena ity araka ny halehiben'ny famindram-ponao, sy araka ny namelanao ny helok'ity firenena ity hatrany Egypta ka mandraka ankehitriny.

²⁰And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy word:

²⁰Dia hoy Jehovah: Efa navelako araka ny teninao izany.

²¹But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD.

²¹Kanefa raha velona koa Aho, ka ho feno ny voninahitr'i Jehovah ny tany rehetra,

²²Because 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 hearkened to my voice;

²²ireo lehilahy rehetra ireo, izay nahita ny voninahitro sy ny famantarako izay nataoko tany Egypta sy tany an-efitra, nefa naka fanahy Ahy izao im-polo izao, ka tsy nihaino ny feoko,

²³Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:

²³dia tsy hahita mihitsy ny tany izay nianianako tamin'ny razany homena azy; eny, izay rehetra namotsifotsy Ahy dia samy tsy hahita izany.

²⁴But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.

²⁴Fa ny amin'i Kaleba mpanompoko kosa, satria fanahy hafa no tao aminy, ka tanteraka tamin'ny fanarahana Ahy izy, dia ho entiko ho any amin'ny tany izay nalehany izy, ary ny zanany handova izany.

²⁵(Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.) Tomorrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.

²⁵Ary ny Amalekita sy ny Kananita no mponina eo amin'ny lohasaha; koa rahampitso dia miverena ianareo, ka mankanesa any an-efitra amin'ny lalana mankany amin'ny Ranomasina Mena.

²⁶And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

²⁶Ary Jehovah niteny tamin'i Mosesy sy Arona ka nanao hoe:

²⁷How 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.

²⁷Mandra-pahoviana no mbola handeferako amin'izao fiangonana ratsy mimonomonona amiko izao? Efa reko ny fimonomononan'ny Zanak'Isiraely, izay imonomononany amiko.

²⁸Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:

²⁸Lazao aminy hoe: Raha velona koa Aho, hoy Jehovah, dia araka izay nolazainareo teo anatrehako no hataoko aminareo:

²⁹Your 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.

²⁹Etỳ amin'ity efitra ity no hiampatramparan'ny fatinareo; ary ianareo rehetra izay voalamina araka ny nanisana anareo, dia ny hatramin'ny roa-polo taona no ho miakatra, izay efa nimonomonona tamiko,

³⁰Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.

³⁰dia tsy ho tonga mihitsy any amin'ny tany izay nananganako tanana hamponenana anareo, afa-tsy Kaleba, zanak'i Jefone, sy Josoa, zanak'i Nona.

³¹But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised.

³¹Fa ny zanakareo madinika kosa, izay nolazainareo fa ho babo, dia izy no ho entiko miditra, ary izy no hahalala ny tany izay nolavinareo.

³²But as for you, your carcasses, they shall fall in this wilderness.

³²Fa ny aminareo, dia hiampatrampatra amin'ity efitra ity ny fatinareo;

³³And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcasses be wasted in the wilderness.

³³ary ny zanakareo hirenireny toy ny mpiandry ondry atỳ an-efitra efa-polo taona ka hiharan'ny valin'ny fijangajanganareo, mandra-pahafatinareo rehetra atỳ an-efitra.

³⁴After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.

³⁴Araka ny isan'ny andro efa-polo izay nisafoanareo ny tany, ka ny andro iray hosoloana taona iray no hitondranareo ny helokareo efa-polo taona; ka dia ho fantatrareo ny fahafoizako anareo.

³⁵I the LORD have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.

³⁵Izaho Jehovah efa nilaza fa hataoko tokoa izany amin'izao fiangonana ratsy rehetra izao, izay miangona hiodina amiko; etỳ amin'ity efitra ity no hahalany ritra azy, ary etỳ no hahafatesany.

³⁶And 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 upon the land,

³⁶Ary ny lehilahy izay nirahin'1 Mosesy hisafo ny tany, dia izay niverina ka nampimonomonona ny fiangonana rehetra tamin'i Mosesy, satria nanao laza ratsy ny tany izy,

³⁷Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died by the plague before the LORD.

³⁷dia matin'ny areti-mandringana teo anatrehan'i Jehovah ireny lehilahy nilaza ratsy ny tany ireny.

³⁸But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of the men that went to search the land, lived still.

³⁸Fa Josoa, zanak'i Nona, sy Kaleba, zanak'i Jefone, kosa, izay isan'ny lehilahy nandeha nisafo ny tany, dia velona ihany.

³⁹And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly.

³⁹Dia nolazain'i Mosesy tamin'ny Zanak'Isiraely rehetra izany teny izany; ka dia nanjoretra terỳ ny olona.

⁴⁰And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up into the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we be here, and will go up unto the place which the LORD hath promised: for we have sinned.

⁴⁰Dia nifoha maraina koa izy ary niakatra tany an-tampon'ny tendrombohitra ka nanao hoe: Indreto izahay hiakatra ho any amin'ny tany izay nolazain'i Jehovah, fa efa nanota izahay.

⁴¹And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of the LORD? but it shall not prosper.

⁴¹Dia hoy Mosesy: Nahoana no mandika ny didin'i Jehovah ianareo? fa tsy hambinina izany.

⁴²Go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that ye be not smitten before your enemies.

⁴²Aza miakatra, fa tsy momba anareo Jehovah,

⁴³For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away from the LORD, therefore the LORD will not be with you.

⁴³fandrao ho resy eo anoloan'ny fahavalonareo ianareo; fa ny Amalekita sy ny Kananita dia eo anoloanareo, ka ho lavon-tsabatra ianareo; satria niala tamin'ny fanarahana an'i Jehovah ianareo, dia tsy homba anareo Izy.

⁴⁴But they presumed to go up unto the hill top: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and Moses, departed not out of the camp.

⁴⁴Kanjo sahisahy foana izy ka niakatra teo an-tampon'ny tendrombohitra ihany; nefa Mosesy sy ny fiaran'ny faneken'i Jehovah tsy niala teo an-toby.Dia nidina ny Amalekita sy ny Kananita, izay nonina teo amin'izany tendrombohitra izany, ka namely azy ary nanorotoro azy hatrany Horma.

⁴⁵Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which dwelt in that hill, and smote them, and discomfited them, even unto Hormah.

⁴⁵Dia nidina ny Amalekita sy ny Kananita, izay nonina teo amin'izany tendrombohitra izany, ka namely azy ary nanorotoro azy hatrany Horma.
