民数记 14
1 当下，全会众大声喧嚷；那夜百姓都哭号。
Therfor al the cumpeny criede, and wepte in that nyyt,
2 以色列众人向摩西、亚伦发怨言；全会众对他们说：“巴不得我们早死在埃及地，或是死在这旷野。
and alle the sones of Israel grutchiden ayens Moises and Aaron, and seiden,
3 耶和华为什么把我们领到那地，使我们倒在刀下呢？我们的妻子和孩子必被掳掠。我们回埃及去岂不好吗？”
We wolden that we hadden be deed in Egipt, and not in this waast wildirnesse; we wolden that we perischen, and that the Lord lede vs not in to this lond, lest we fallen bi swerd, and oure wyues and fre children ben led prisoneris; whether it is not betere to turne ayen in to Egipt?
4 众人彼此说：“我们不如立一个首领回埃及去吧！”
And thei seiden oon to another, Ordeyne we a duyk to vs, and turne we ayen in to Egipt.
5 摩西、亚伦就俯伏在以色列全会众面前。
And whanne this was herd, Moises and Aaron felden lowe to erthe, bifor al the multitude of the sones of Israel.
6 窥探地的人中，嫩的儿子约书亚和耶孚尼的儿子迦勒撕裂衣服，
And sotheli Josue, the sone of Nun, and Caleph, the sone of Jephone, whiche also cumpassiden the lond, to renten her clothis,
7 对以色列全会众说：“我们所窥探、经过之地是极美之地。
and spaken to al the multitude of the sones of Israel, The lond which we cumpassiden is ful good;
8 耶和华若喜悦我们，就必将我们领进那地，把地赐给我们；那地原是流奶与蜜之地。
if the Lord is merciful to vs, he schal lede vs in to it, and schal yyue `to vs the lond flowynge with mylk and hony.
9 但你们不可背叛耶和华，也不要怕那地的居民；因为他们是我们的食物，并且荫庇他们的已经离开他们。有耶和华与我们同在，不要怕他们！”
Nyle ye be rebel ayens the Lord, nether drede ye the puple of this lond, for we moun deuoure hem so as breed; al her help passide awei fro hem, the Lord is with vs, nyle ye drede.
10 但全会众说：“拿石头打死他们二人。”忽然，耶和华的荣光在会幕中向以色列众人显现。
And whanne al the multitude criede, and wolde oppresse hem with stonys, the glorie of the Lord apperide on the roof of the boond of pees, while alle the sones of Israel sien.
11 耶和华对摩西说：“这百姓藐视我要到几时呢？我在他们中间行了这一切神迹，他们还不信我要到几时呢？
And the Lord seide to Moises, Hou long schal this puple bacbite me? Hou longe schulen thei not bileue to me in alle `signes, whiche Y haue do bifor hem?
12 我要用瘟疫击杀他们，使他们不得承受那地，叫你的后裔成为大国，比他们强胜。”
Therfor Y schal smyte hem with pestilence, and Y schal waste hem; forsothe Y schal make thee prince on a greet folk, and strongere than is this.
13 摩西对耶和华说：“埃及人必听见这事；因为你曾施展大能，将这百姓从他们中间领上来。
And Moises seide to the Lord, Egipcians `here not, fro whos myddil thou leddist out this puple,
14 埃及人要将这事传给迦南地的居民；那民已经听见你—耶和华是在这百姓中间；因为你面对面被人看见，有你的云彩停在他们以上。你日间在云柱中，夜间在火柱中，在他们前面行。
and the dwelleris of this loond, whiche herden that thou, Lord, art in this puple, and art seyn face to face, and that thi cloude defendith hem, and that thou goist bifore hem in a pilere of cloude bi dai,
15 如今你若把这百姓杀了，如杀一人，那些听见你名声的列邦必议论说：
and in a piler of fier bi nyyt, that thou hast slayn so greet a multitude as o man,
16 ‘耶和华因为不能把这百姓领进他向他们起誓应许之地，所以在旷野把他们杀了。’
and seie thei, He myyte not brynge this puple in to the lond for whiche he swoor, therfor he killide hem in wildirnesse;
17 现在求主大显能力，照你所说过的话说：
therfor the strengthe of the Lord be magnified, as thou hast swore. And Moises seide,
18 ‘耶和华不轻易发怒，并有丰盛的慈爱，赦免罪孽和过犯；万不以有罪的为无罪，必追讨他的罪，自父及子，直到三、四代。’
Lord pacient, and of myche mercy, doynge awei wickidnesse and trespassis, and leeuynge no man vngilti, which visitist the synnes of fadris in to sones in to the thridde and fourthe generacioun, Y biseche,
19 求你照你的大慈爱赦免这百姓的罪孽，好像你从埃及到如今常赦免他们一样。”
foryyue thou the synne of this thi puple, aftir the greetnesse of thi merci, as thou were merciful to men goynge out of Egipt `til to this place.
20 耶和华说：“我照着你的话赦免了他们。
And the Lord seide, Y haue foryouun to hem, bi thi word.
21 然我指着我的永生起誓，遍地要被我的荣耀充满。
Y lyue; and the glorie of the Lord schal be fillid in al erthe;
22 这些人虽看见我的荣耀和我在埃及与旷野所行的神迹，仍然试探我这十次，不听从我的话，
netheles alle men that sien my mageste, and my signes, whiche Y dide in Egipt and in the wildirnesse, and temptiden me now bi ten sithis, and obeieden not to my vois,
23 他们断不得看见我向他们的祖宗所起誓应许之地。凡藐视我的，一个也不得看见；
schulen not se the lond for which Y swore to her fadris, nethir ony of hem that bacbitide me, schal se it.
24 惟独我的仆人迦勒，因他另有一个心志，专一跟从我，我就把他领进他所去过的那地；他的后裔也必得那地为业。
Y schal lede my seruaunt Caleph, that was ful of anothir spirit, and suede me, in to this lond, which he cumpasside, and his seed schal welde it.
25 亚玛力人和迦南人住在谷中，明天你们要转回，从红海的路往旷野去。”
For Amalech and Cananei dwellen in the valeis, to morewe moue ye tentis, and turne ye ayen in to wildirnesse bi the weie of the reed see.
26 耶和华对摩西、亚伦说：
And the Lord spak to Moises and to Aaron, and seide,
27 “这恶会众向我发怨言，我忍耐他们要到几时呢？以色列人向我所发的怨言，我都听见了。
Hou long grutchith this werste multitude ayens me? Y haue herd the pleyntis of the sones of Israel.
28 你们告诉他们，耶和华说：‘我指着我的永生起誓，我必要照你们达到我耳中的话待你们。
Therfor seie thou to hem, Y lyue, seith the Lord; as ye spaken while Y herde, so Y schal do to you;
29 你们的尸首必倒在这旷野，并且你们中间凡被数点、从二十岁以外、向我发怨言的，
youre careyns schulen ligge in this wildirnesse. Alle ye that ben noumbrid, fro twenti yeer and aboue, and grutchiden ayens me,
30 必不得进我起誓应许叫你们住的那地；惟有耶孚尼的儿子迦勒和嫩的儿子约书亚才能进去。
schulen not entre in to the lond, on which Y reiside myn hond, that Y schulde make you to dwelle outakun Caleph, the sone of Jephone, and Josue, the sone of Nun.
31 但你们的妇人孩子，就是你们所说、要被掳掠的，我必把他们领进去，他们就得知你们所厌弃的那地。
Forsothe Y schal lede in youre litle children, of whiche ye seiden that thei schulden be preyes `ethir raueyns to enemyes, that thei se the lond which displeside you.
32 至于你们，你们的尸首必倒在这旷野；
Forsothe youre careyns schulen ligge in the wildirnesse;
33 你们的儿女必在旷野飘流四十年，担当你们淫行的罪，直到你们的尸首在旷野消灭。
youre sones schulen be walkeris aboute in the deseert bi fourti yeer, and thei schulen bere youre fornycacioun, til the careyns of the fadris ben wastid in the deseert,
34 按你们窥探那地的四十日，一年顶一日，你们要担当罪孽四十年，就知道我与你们疏远了，
by the noumbre of fourti daies, in whiche ye bihelden the loond; a yeer schal be arettid for a dai, and bi fourti yeer ye schulen resseyue youre wickidnesse, and ye schulen knowe my veniaunce.
35 我—耶和华说过，我总要这样待这一切聚集敌我的恶会众；他们必在这旷野消灭，在这里死亡。’”
For as Y spak, so Y schal do to al this werste multitude, that roos to gidere ayens me; it schal faile, and schal die in this wildirnesse.
36 摩西所打发、窥探那地的人回来，报那地的恶信，叫全会众向摩西发怨言，
Therfor alle the men whyche Moises hadde sent to see the lond, and whiche turniden ayen, and maden al the multitude to grutche ayens hym, and depraueden the lond, that it was yuel,
37 这些报恶信的人都遭瘟疫，死在耶和华面前。
weren deed, and smytun in the siyt of the Lord.
38 其中惟有嫩的儿子约书亚和耶孚尼的儿子迦勒仍然存活。
Sotheli Josue, the sone of Nun, and Caleph, the sone of Jephone, lyueden, of alle men that yeden to se the lond.
39 摩西将这些话告诉以色列众人，他们就甚悲哀。
And Moises spak alle these wordis to alle the sones of Israel, and the puple mourenyde gretli.
40 清早起来，上山顶去，说：“我们在这里，我们有罪了；情愿上耶和华所应许的地方去。”
And, lo! thei riseden in the morewtid first, and `stieden in to the cop of the hil, and seiden, We ben redi to stie to the place, of which the Lord spak, for we synneden.
41 摩西说：“你们为何违背耶和华的命令呢？这事不能顺利了。
To whiche Moises seide, Whi passen ye the word of the Lord, that schal not bifalle to you in to prosperite?
42 不要上去；因为耶和华不在你们中间，恐怕你们被仇敌杀败了。
Nyle ye stie, for the Lord is not with you, lest ye fallen bifor youre enemyes.
43 亚玛力人和迦南人都在你们面前，你们必倒在刀下；因你们退回不跟从耶和华，所以他必不与你们同在。”
Amalech and Cananei ben bifor you, bi the swerd of whiche ye schulen falle, for ye nolden assente to the Lord, nether the Lord schal be with you.
44 他们却擅敢上山顶去，然而耶和华的约柜和摩西没有出营。
And thei weren maad derk, and stieden in to the cop of the hil; forsothe the ark of the testament of the Lord and Moises yeden not awey fro the tentis.
45 于是亚玛力人和住在那山上的迦南人都下来击打他们，把他们杀退了，直到何珥玛。
And Amalech cam doun, and Chananei, that dwelliden in the hil, and he smoot hem, and kittide doun, and pursuede hem til Horma.
