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.

¹All the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept 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!

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

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?

³Why does Yahweh bring us to this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will be a prey: wouldn’t it be better for us to return into Egypt?”

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

⁴They said one to another, “Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.”

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

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

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

⁶Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were of those who spied out the land, tore their clothes:

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 spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, “The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceeding 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 Yahweh delights in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it to us; a land which flows 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 don’t rebel against Yahweh, neither fear the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defense is removed from over them, and Yahweh is with us. Don’t fear them.”

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.

¹⁰But all the congregation threatened to stone them with stones. The glory of Yahweh appeared in the Tent of Meeting to all the children 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?

¹¹Yahweh said to Moses, “How long will this people despise me? and how long will they not believe in me, for all the signs which I have worked among them?

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

¹²I will strike them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of you a nation greater and mightier than they.”

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

¹³Moses said to Yahweh, “Then the Egyptians will hear it; for you brought up this people in your might from among them;

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 will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have heard that you Yahweh are in the midst of this people; for you Yahweh are seen face to face, and your cloud stands over them, and you go before them, in a pillar of cloud 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:

¹⁵Now if you killed this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of you will speak, 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.

¹⁶‘Because Yahweh was not able to bring this people into the land which he swore to them, therefore he has slain them in the wilderness.’

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

¹⁷Now please let the power of the Lord The word translated “Lord” is “Adonai.” be great, according as you have 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.

¹⁸‘Yahweh is slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, forgiving iniquity and disobedience; and that will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation.’

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.

¹⁹Please pardon the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of your loving kindness, and according as you have forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.”

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

²⁰Yahweh said, “I have pardoned according to your word:

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

²¹but in very deed, as I live, and as all the earth shall be filled with the glory of Yahweh;

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,

²²because all those men who have seen my glory, and my signs, which I worked in Egypt and in the wilderness, yet have tempted me these ten times, and have not listened 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.

²³surely they shall not see the land which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any of those who despised 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.

²⁴but my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and has followed me fully, him will I bring into the land into which he went; and his seed shall 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.

²⁵Now the Amalekite and the Canaanite dwell in the valley: tomorrow turn, and go into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea or, Sea of Reeds .”

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

²⁶Yahweh spoke to Moses and to 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“How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, that murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.

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

²⁸Tell them, ‘As I live, says Yahweh, surely as you have spoken in my ears, so will I do 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,

²⁹your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness; and all who were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old 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.

³⁰surely you shall not come into the land, concerning which I swore that I would make you dwell therein, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the 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.

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

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

³²But as for you, your dead bodies shall 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.

³³Your children shall be wanderers in the wilderness forty years, and shall bear your prostitution, until your dead bodies be 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.

³⁴After the number of the days in which you spied out the land, even forty days, for every day a year, you will bear your iniquities, even forty years, and you will know my alienation.’

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, Yahweh, have spoken, surely this will I do to all this evil congregation, who are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall 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,

³⁶The men, whom Moses sent to spy out the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up an evil report against the land,

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

³⁷even those men who brought up an evil report of the land, died by the plague before Yahweh.

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

³⁸But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, remained alive of those men who went to spy out the land.

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

³⁹Moses told these words to all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly.

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.

⁴⁰They rose up early in the morning, and went up to the top of the mountain, saying, “Behold, we are here, and will go up to the place which Yahweh has promised: for we have sinned.”

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

⁴¹Moses said, “Why now do you disobey the commandment of Yahweh, since it shall not prosper?

⁴²Aza miakatra, fa tsy momba anareo Jehovah,

⁴²Don’t go up, for Yahweh isn’t among you; that you not be struck down 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 there the Amalekite and the Canaanite are before you, and you shall fall by the sword: because you are turned back from following Yahweh, therefore Yahweh will not be 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.

⁴⁴But they presumed to go up to the top of the mountain: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, and Moses, didn’t depart out 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.

⁴⁵Then the Amalekite came down, and the Canaanite who lived in that mountain, and struck them and beat them down, even to Hormah.
