¹And the whole assembly 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 assembly said to them, Would that we had died in the land of Egypt! or in this wilderness would that we had died!

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 why is Jehovah bringing us to this land that we may fall by the sword, that our wives and our little ones may become a prey? Is it not better for us to return to 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 to Egypt.

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

⁵Then Moses and Aaron fell upon their faces before the whole congregation of the assembly 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, of them that searched out the land, rent their garments.

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

⁷And they spoke to the whole assembly of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it out, is a very, very 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 Jehovah delight in us, he will bring us into this land, and give it us, a land that flows 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 against Jehovah; and fear not the people of the land; for they shall be our food. Their defence is departed from them, and Jehovah 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.

¹⁰And the whole assembly said that they should be stoned with stones. And the glory of Jehovah appeared in the tent of meeting to 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 Jehovah said to Moses, How long will this people despise me? and how long will they not believe me, for all the signs which I have done 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 destroy them, and will make of thee a nation greater 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 to Jehovah, Then the Egyptians will hear it; for in thy might thou broughtest up this people from the midst of 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, [who] have heard that thou, Jehovah, art in the midst of this people, that thou, Jehovah, lettest thyself be seen eye to eye, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest before them, in a pillar of cloud by day, 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.

¹⁵if thou now slayest this people as one man, then the nations that have heard thy fame 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 Jehovah was not able to bring this people into the land that he had sworn unto them, he has therefore 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 the Lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying,

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

¹⁸Jehovah is slow to anger, and abundant in goodness, forgiving iniquity and transgression, but by no means clearing [the guilty], visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon 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 to the greatness of thy loving-kindness, 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 Jehovah said, I have pardoned according to thy word.

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

²¹But as surely as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of Jehovah!

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

²²for all those men who have seen my glory, and my signs, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me 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,

²³shall in no wise see the land which I did swear unto their fathers: none of them that despised me shall 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 hath another spirit in him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he came; 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 dwell in the valley.) To-morrow turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness, on the way to 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 Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

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

²⁷How long [shall I bear] with this evil assembly, 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 surely as I live, saith Jehovah, if I do not do unto you as ye have spoken in mine ears!

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

²⁹In this wilderness shall your carcases fall; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number from twenty years old and upwards, who 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,

³⁰shall in no wise come into the land, concerning which I have lifted up my hand to make you dwell in it; 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, of whom ye said they should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land that 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.

³²And as to you, your carcases 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 carcases 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 have searched out the land, forty days, each day for a year shall ye bear your iniquities forty years, and ye shall know mine estrangement [from you].

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 Jehovah have spoken; I will surely do it unto all this evil assembly which have 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 whom Moses had sent to search out the land, who returned, and made the whole assembly to murmur against him, by bringing up an evil report 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 who had brought up an evil report upon the land, died by a plague before Jehovah.

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, lived still of the men that had gone to search out the land.

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 all these sayings to all the children of Israel; then 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 went up to the hill-top, saying, Here are we, and we will go up to the place of which Jehovah has spoken; 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, Why now do ye transgress the commandment of Jehovah? but it shall not prosper!

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

⁴²Go not up, for Jehovah 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; for as ye have turned away from Jehovah, Jehovah 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.

⁴⁴Yet they presumed to go up to the hill-top; but the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and Moses, did not depart from the midst 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.

⁴⁵And the Amalekites and the Canaanites who dwelt on that hill, came down and smote them, and cut them to pieces, as far as Hormah.

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