民數記 14
1 當下，全會眾大聲喧嚷；那夜百姓都哭號。
Therfor al the cumpeny criede, and wepte in that nyyt,
2 以色列眾人向摩西、亞倫發怨言；全會眾對他們說：「巴不得我們早死在埃及地，或是死在這曠野。
and alle the sones of Israel grutchiden ayens Moises and Aaron, and seiden,
3 耶和華為甚麼把我們領到那地，使我們倒在刀下呢？我們的妻子和孩子必被擄掠。我們回埃及去豈不好嗎？」
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 眾人彼此說：「我們不如立一個首領回埃及去吧！」
And thei seiden oon to another, Ordeyne we a duyk to vs, and turne we ayen in to Egipt.
5 摩西、亞倫就俯伏在以色列全會眾面前。
And whanne this was herd, Moises and Aaron felden lowe to erthe, bifor al the multitude of the sones of Israel.
6 窺探地的人中，嫩的兒子約書亞和耶孚尼的兒子迦勒撕裂衣服，
And sotheli Josue, the sone of Nun, and Caleph, the sone of Jephone, whiche also cumpassiden the lond, to renten her clothis,
7 對以色列全會眾說：「我們所窺探、經過之地是極美之地。
and spaken to al the multitude of the sones of Israel, The lond which we cumpassiden is ful good;
8 耶和華若喜悅我們，就必將我們領進那地，把地賜給我們；那地原是流奶與蜜之地。
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 但你們不可背叛耶和華，也不要怕那地的居民；因為他們是我們的食物，並且蔭庇他們的已經離開他們。有耶和華與我們同在，不要怕他們！」
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 但全會眾說：「拿石頭打死他們二人。」忽然，耶和華的榮光在會幕中向以色列眾人顯現。
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 耶和華對摩西說：「這百姓藐視我要到幾時呢？我在他們中間行了這一切神蹟，他們還不信我要到幾時呢？
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 我要用瘟疫擊殺他們，使他們不得承受那地，叫你的後裔成為大國，比他們強勝。」
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 摩西對耶和華說：「埃及人必聽見這事；因為你曾施展大能，將這百姓從他們中間領上來。
And Moises seide to the Lord, Egipcians `here not, fro whos myddil thou leddist out this puple,
14 埃及人要將這事傳給迦南地的居民；那民已經聽見你－耶和華是在這百姓中間；因為你面對面被人看見，有你的雲彩停在他們以上。你日間在雲柱中，夜間在火柱中，在他們前面行。
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 如今你若把這百姓殺了，如殺一人，那些聽見你名聲的列邦必議論說：
and in a piler of fier bi nyyt, that thou hast slayn so greet a multitude as o man,
16 『耶和華因為不能把這百姓領進他向他們起誓應許之地，所以在曠野把他們殺了。』
and seie thei, He myyte not brynge this puple in to the lond for whiche he swoor, therfor he killide hem in wildirnesse;
17 現在求主大顯能力，照你所說過的話說：
therfor the strengthe of the Lord be magnified, as thou hast swore. And Moises seide,
18 『耶和華不輕易發怒，並有豐盛的慈愛，赦免罪孽和過犯；萬不以有罪的為無罪，必追討他的罪，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 求你照你的大慈愛赦免這百姓的罪孽，好像你從埃及到如今常赦免他們一樣。」
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 耶和華說：「我照着你的話赦免了他們。
And the Lord seide, Y haue foryouun to hem, bi thi word.
21 然我指着我的永生起誓，遍地要被我的榮耀充滿。
Y lyue; and the glorie of the Lord schal be fillid in al erthe;
22 這些人雖看見我的榮耀和我在埃及與曠野所行的神蹟，仍然試探我這十次，不聽從我的話，
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 他們斷不得看見我向他們的祖宗所起誓應許之地。凡藐視我的，一個也不得看見；
schulen not se the lond for which Y swore to her fadris, nethir ony of hem that bacbitide me, schal se it.
24 惟獨我的僕人迦勒，因他另有一個心志，專一跟從我，我就把他領進他所去過的那地；他的後裔也必得那地為業。
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 亞瑪力人和迦南人住在谷中，明天你們要轉回，從紅海的路往曠野去。」
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 耶和華對摩西、亞倫說：
And the Lord spak to Moises and to Aaron, and seide,
27 「這惡會眾向我發怨言，我忍耐他們要到幾時呢？以色列人向我所發的怨言，我都聽見了。
Hou long grutchith this werste multitude ayens me? Y haue herd the pleyntis of the sones of Israel.
28 你們告訴他們，耶和華說：『我指着我的永生起誓，我必要照你們達到我耳中的話待你們。
Therfor seie thou to hem, Y lyue, seith the Lord; as ye spaken while Y herde, so Y schal do to you;
29 你們的屍首必倒在這曠野，並且你們中間凡被數點、從二十歲以外、向我發怨言的，
youre careyns schulen ligge in this wildirnesse. Alle ye that ben noumbrid, fro twenti yeer and aboue, and grutchiden ayens me,
30 必不得進我起誓應許叫你們住的那地；惟有耶孚尼的兒子迦勒和嫩的兒子約書亞才能進去。
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 但你們的婦人孩子，就是你們所說、要被擄掠的，我必把他們領進去，他們就得知你們所厭棄的那地。
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 至於你們，你們的屍首必倒在這曠野；
Forsothe youre careyns schulen ligge in the wildirnesse;
33 你們的兒女必在曠野飄流四十年，擔當你們淫行的罪，直到你們的屍首在曠野消滅。
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 按你們窺探那地的四十日，一年頂一日，你們要擔當罪孽四十年，就知道我與你們疏遠了，
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－耶和華說過，我總要這樣待這一切聚集敵我的惡會眾；他們必在這曠野消滅，在這裏死亡。』」
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 摩西所打發、窺探那地的人回來，報那地的惡信，叫全會眾向摩西發怨言，
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 這些報惡信的人都遭瘟疫，死在耶和華面前。
weren deed, and smytun in the siyt of the Lord.
38 其中惟有嫩的兒子約書亞和耶孚尼的兒子迦勒仍然存活。
Sotheli Josue, the sone of Nun, and Caleph, the sone of Jephone, lyueden, of alle men that yeden to se the lond.
39 摩西將這些話告訴以色列眾人，他們就甚悲哀。
And Moises spak alle these wordis to alle the sones of Israel, and the puple mourenyde gretli.
40 清早起來，上山頂去，說：「我們在這裏，我們有罪了；情願上耶和華所應許的地方去。」
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 摩西說：「你們為何違背耶和華的命令呢？這事不能順利了。
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；因為耶和華不在你們中間，恐怕你們被仇敵殺敗了。
Nyle ye stie, for the Lord is not with you, lest ye fallen bifor youre enemyes.
43 亞瑪力人和迦南人都在你們面前，你們必倒在刀下；因你們退回不跟從耶和華，所以他必不與你們同在。」
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 他們卻擅敢上山頂去，然而耶和華的約櫃和摩西沒有出營。
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 於是亞瑪力人和住在那山上的迦南人都下來擊打他們，把他們殺退了，直到何珥瑪。
And Amalech cam doun, and Chananei, that dwelliden in the hil, and he smoot hem, and kittide doun, and pursuede hem til Horma.
