Numbers 14
1 All the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.
igitur vociferans omnis turba flevit nocte illa
2 All the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron. The whole congregation said to them, “We wish that we had died in the land of Egypt, or that we had died in this wilderness!
et murmurati sunt contra Mosen et Aaron cuncti filii Israhel dicentes
3 Why does the LORD bring us to this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will be captured or killed! Would not it be better for us to return into Egypt?”
utinam mortui essemus in Aegypto et non in hac vasta solitudine utinam pereamus et non inducat nos Dominus in terram istam ne cadamus gladio et uxores ac liberi nostri ducantur captivi nonne melius est reverti in Aegyptum
4 They said to one another, “Let’s choose a leader, and let’s return into Egypt.”
dixeruntque alter ad alterum constituamus nobis ducem et revertamur in Aegyptum
5 Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.
quo audito Moses et Aaron ceciderunt proni in terram coram omni multitudine filiorum Israhel
6 Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were of those who spied out the land, tore their clothes.
at vero Iosue filius Nun et Chaleb filius Iepphonne qui et ipsi lustraverant terram sciderunt vestimenta sua
7 They spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, “The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceedingly good land.
et ad omnem multitudinem filiorum Israhel locuti sunt terram quam circuivimus valde bona est
8 If the LORD delights in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it to us: a land which flows with milk and honey.
si propitius fuerit Dominus inducet nos in eam et tradet humum lacte et melle manantem
9 Only do not rebel against the LORD, neither fear the people of the land; for they are bread for us. Their defense is removed from over them, and the LORD is with us. Do not fear them.”
nolite rebelles esse contra Dominum neque timeatis populum terrae huius quia sicut panem ita eos possumus devorare recessit ab illis omne praesidium Dominus nobiscum est nolite metuere
10 But all the congregation threatened to stone them with stones. The LORD’s glory appeared in the Tent of Meeting to all the children of Israel.
cumque clamaret omnis multitudo et lapidibus eos vellet opprimere apparuit gloria Domini super tectum foederis cunctis filiis Israhel
11 The LORD said to Moses, “How long will this people despise me? How long will they not believe in me, for all the signs which I have worked among them?
et dixit Dominus ad Mosen usquequo detrahet mihi populus iste quousque non credent mihi in omnibus signis quae feci coram eis
12 I will strike them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of you a nation greater and mightier than they.”
feriam igitur eos pestilentia atque consumam te autem faciam principem super gentem magnam et fortiorem quam haec est
13 Moses said to the LORD, “Then the Egyptians will hear it; for you brought up this people in your might from among them.
et ait Moses ad Dominum ut audiant Aegyptii de quorum medio eduxisti populum istum
14 They will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have heard that you LORD are among this people; for you LORD 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.
et habitatores terrae huius qui audierunt quod tu Domine in populo isto sis et facie videaris ad faciem et nubes tua protegat illos et in columna nubis praecedas eos per diem et in columna ignis per noctem
15 Now if you killed this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of you will speak, saying,
quod occideris tantam multitudinem quasi unum hominem et dicant
16 ‘Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which he swore to them, therefore he has slain them in the wilderness.’
non poterat introducere populum in terram pro qua iuraverat idcirco occidit eos in solitudine
17 Now please let the power of the Lord be great, according as you have spoken, saying,
magnificetur ergo fortitudo Domini sicut iurasti dicens
18 ‘The LORD is slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, forgiving iniquity and disobedience; and he will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation.’
Dominus patiens et multae misericordiae auferens iniquitatem et scelera nullumque innoxium derelinquens qui visitas peccata patrum in filios in tertiam et quartam generationem
19 Please pardon the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of your loving kindness, and just as you have forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.”
dimitte obsecro peccatum populi tui huius secundum magnitudinem misericordiae tuae sicut propitius fuisti egredientibus de Aegypto usque ad locum istum
20 The LORD said, “I have pardoned according to your word;
dixitque Dominus dimisi iuxta verbum tuum
21 but in very deed—as I live, and as all the earth shall be filled with the LORD’s glory—
vivo ego et implebitur gloria Domini universa terra
22 because 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;
attamen omnes homines qui viderunt maiestatem meam et signa quae feci in Aegypto et in solitudine et temptaverunt me iam per decem vices nec oboedierunt voci meae
23 surely they shall not see the land which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any of those who despised me see it.
non videbunt terram pro qua iuravi patribus eorum nec quisquam ex illis qui detraxit mihi intuebitur eam
24 But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and has followed me fully, him I will bring into the land into which he went. His offspring shall possess it.
servum meum Chaleb qui plenus alio spiritu secutus est me inducam in terram hanc quam circuivit et semen eius possidebit eam
25 Since the Amalekite and the Canaanite dwell in the valley, tomorrow turn and go into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea.”
quoniam Amalechites et Chananeus habitant in vallibus cras movete castra et revertimini in solitudinem per viam maris Rubri
26 The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen et Aaron dicens
27 “How long shall I bear with this evil congregation that complain against me? I have heard the complaints of the children of Israel, which they complain against me.
usquequo multitudo haec pessima murmurat contra me querellas filiorum Israhel audivi
28 Tell them, ‘As I live, says the LORD, surely as you have spoken in my ears, so I will do to you.
dic ergo eis vivo ego ait Dominus sicut locuti estis audiente me sic faciam vobis
29 Your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness; and all who were counted of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, who have complained against me,
in solitudine hac iacebunt cadavera vestra omnes qui numerati estis a viginti annis et supra et murmurastis contra me
30 surely 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.
non intrabitis terram super quam levavi manum meam ut habitare vos facerem praeter Chaleb filium Iepphonne et Iosue filium Nun
31 But I will bring in your little ones that you said should be captured or killed, and they shall know the land which you have rejected.
parvulos autem vestros de quibus dixistis quod praedae hostibus forent introducam ut videant terram quae vobis displicuit
32 But as for you, your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness.
vestra cadavera iacebunt in solitudine
33 Your children shall be wanderers in the wilderness forty years, and shall bear your prostitution, until your dead bodies are consumed in the wilderness.
filii vestri erunt vagi in deserto annis quadraginta et portabunt fornicationem vestram donec consumantur cadavera patrum in deserto
34 After 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.’
iuxta numerum quadraginta dierum quibus considerastis terram annus pro die inputabitur et quadraginta annis recipietis iniquitates vestras et scietis ultionem meam
35 I, the LORD, have spoken. I will surely do this to all this evil congregation who are gathered together against me. In this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.”
quoniam sicut locutus sum ita faciam omni multitudini huic pessimae quae consurrexit adversum me in solitudine hac deficiet et morietur
36 The 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,
igitur omnes viri quos miserat Moses ad contemplandam terram et qui reversi murmurare fecerant contra eum omnem multitudinem detrahentes terrae quod esset mala
37 even those men who brought up an evil report of the land, died by the plague before the LORD.
mortui sunt atque percussi in conspectu Domini
38 But Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh remained alive of those men who went to spy out the land.
Iosue autem filius Nun et Chaleb filius Iepphonne vixerunt ex omnibus qui perrexerant ad considerandam terram
39 Moses told these words to all the children of Israel, and the people mourned greatly.
locutusque est Moses universa verba haec ad omnes filios Israhel et luxit populus nimis
40 They 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 the LORD has promised; for we have sinned.”
et ecce mane primo surgentes ascenderunt verticem montis atque dixerunt parati sumus ascendere ad locum de quo Dominus locutus est quia peccavimus
41 Moses said, “Why now do you disobey the commandment of the LORD, since it shall not prosper?
quibus Moses cur inquit transgredimini verbum Domini quod vobis non cedet in prosperum
42 Do not go up, for the LORD is not among you; that way you will not be struck down before your enemies.
nolite ascendere non enim est Dominus vobiscum ne corruatis coram inimicis vestris
43 For there the Amalekite and the Canaanite are before you, and you will fall by the sword because you turned back from following the LORD; therefore the LORD will not be with you.”
Amalechites et Chananeus ante vos sunt quorum gladio corruetis eo quod nolueritis adquiescere Domino nec erit Dominus vobiscum
44 But they presumed to go up to the top of the mountain. Nevertheless, the ark of the LORD’s covenant and Moses did not depart out of the camp.
at illi contenebrati ascenderunt in verticem montis arca autem testamenti Domini et Moses non recesserunt de castris
45 Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites who lived in that mountain, and struck them and beat them down even to Hormah.
descenditque Amalechites et Chananeus qui habitabant in monte et percutiens eos atque concidens persecutus est usque Horma
