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.

¹And all the company lifteth up and give forth their voice, and the people weep during that night;

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!

²and all the sons of Israel murmur against Moses, and against Aaron, and all the company say unto them, `O that we had died in the land of Egypt, or in this wilderness, O that we had died!

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?

³and why is Jehovah bringing us in unto this land to fall by the sword? our wives and our infants are become a prey; is it not good for us to turn back to Egypt?`

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

⁴And they say one unto another, `Let us appoint a head, and turn back to Egypt.`

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

⁵And Moses falleth — Aaron also — on their faces, before all the assembly of the company of the sons of Israel.

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

⁶And Joshua son of Nun, and Caleb son of Jephunneh, of those spying the land, have rent their garments,

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.

⁷and they speak unto all the company of the sons of Israel, saying, `The land into which we have passed over to spy it, [is] a very very good land;

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

⁸if Jehovah hath delighted in us, then He hath brought us in unto this land, and hath given it to us, a land which is flowing with milk and honey;

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.

⁹only, against Jehovah rebel not ye: and ye, fear not ye the people of the land, for our bread they [are]; their defence hath turned aside from off them, and Jehovah [is] with us; fear them not.`

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.

¹⁰And all the company say to stone them with stones, and the honour of Jehovah hath appeared in the tent of meeting unto all the sons of Israel.

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?

¹¹And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Until when doth this people despise Me? and until when do they not believe in Me, for all the signs which I have done in its midst?

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

¹²I smite it with pestilence, and dispossess it, and make thee become a nation greater and mightier than it.`

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

¹³And Moses saith unto Jehovah, `Then have the Egyptians heard! for Thou hast brought up with Thy power this people out of their midst,

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.

¹⁴and they have said [it] unto the inhabitant of this land, they have heard that Thou, Jehovah, [art] in the midst of this people, that eye to eye Thou art seen — O Jehovah, and Thy cloud is standing over them, — and in a pillar of cloud Thou art going before them by day, and in a pillar of fire by night.

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

¹⁵`And Thou hast put to death this people as one man, and the nations who have heard Thy fame have spoken, saying,

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.

¹⁶From Jehovah`s want of ability to bring in this people unto the land which He hath sworn to them — He doth slaughter them in the wilderness.

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

¹⁷`And now, let, I pray Thee, the power of my Lord be great, as Thou hast spoken, saying:

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.

¹⁸Jehovah [is] slow to anger, and of great kindness; bearing away iniquity and transgression, and not entirely acquitting, charging iniquity of fathers on sons, on a third [generation], and on a fourth; —

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.

¹⁹forgive, I pray Thee, the iniquity of this people, according to the greatness of Thy kindness, and as Thou hast borne with this people from Egypt, even until now.`

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

²⁰And Jehovah saith, `I have forgiven, according to thy word;

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

²¹and yet, I live — and it is filled — the whole earth — [with] the honour of Jehovah;

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,

²²for all the men who are seeing My honour, and My signs, which I have done in Egypt, and in the wilderness, and try Me these ten times, and have not hearkened to My voice —

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

²³they see not the land which I have sworn to their fathers, yea, none of those despising Me see 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.

²⁴and My servant Caleb, because there hath been another spirit with him, and he is fully after Me — I have brought him in unto the land whither he hath entered, and his seed doth possess it.

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.

²⁵`And the Amalekite and the Canaanite are dwelling in the valley; to-morrow turn ye and journey for yourselves into the wilderness — the way of the Red Sea.`

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

²⁶And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, and unto Aaron, saying,

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

²⁷`Until when hath this evil company that which they are murmuring against Me? the murmurings of the sons of Israel, which they are murmuring against Me, I have heard;

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

²⁸say unto them, I live — an affirmation of Jehovah — if, as ye have spoken in Mine ears — so I do not to you;

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,

²⁹in this wilderness do your carcases fall, even all your numbered ones, to all your number, from a son of twenty years and upward, who have murmured against Me;

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.

³⁰ye — ye come not in unto the land which I have lifted up My hand to cause you to tabernacle in it, except Caleb son of Jephunneh, and Joshua son of Nun.

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

³¹`As to your infants — of whom ye have said, A spoil they are become — I have even brought them in, and they have known the land which ye have kicked against;

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

³²as to you — your carcases do fall in this 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.

³³and your sons are evil in the wilderness forty years, and have borne your whoredoms till your carcases are consumed in the wilderness;

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.

³⁴by the number of the days [in] which ye spied the land, forty days, — a day for a year, a day for a year — ye do bear your iniquities, forty years, and ye have known my breaking off;

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.

³⁵I [am] Jehovah, I have spoken; if I do not this to all this evil company who are meeting against me; — in this wilderness they are consumed, and there they die.`

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,

³⁶And the men whom Moses hath sent to spy the land, and they turn back and cause all the company to murmur against him, by bringing out an evil account concerning the land,

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

³⁷even the men bringing out an evil account of the land die by the plague before Jehovah;

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

³⁸and Joshua son of Nun, and Caleb son of Jephunneh, have lived of those men who go to spy out the land.

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

³⁹And Moses speaketh these words unto all the sons of Israel, and the people mourn exceedingly,

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.

⁴⁰and they rise early in the morning, and go up unto the top of the mountain, saying, `Here we [are], and we have come up unto the place which Jehovah hath spoken of, for we have sinned.`

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

⁴¹And Moses saith, `Why [is] this? — ye are transgressing the command of Jehovah, and it doth not prosper;

⁴²Aza miakatra, fa tsy momba anareo Jehovah,

⁴²go not up, for Jehovah is not in your midst, and ye are not smitten before your enemies;

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.

⁴³for the Amalekite and the Canaanite [are] there before you, and ye have fallen by the sword, because that ye have turned back from after Jehovah, and Jehovah is not with you.`

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.

⁴⁴And they presume to go up unto the top of the mountain, and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah and Moses have not departed out of the midst of the camp.

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

⁴⁵And the Amalekite and the Canaanite who are dwelling in that mountain come down and smite them, and beat them down — unto Hormah.
