Numbers 14
1 Then the whole congregation lifted up their voices and cried out, and that night the people wept.
igitur vociferans omnis turba flevit nocte illa
2 All the Israelites grumbled against Moses and Aaron, and the whole congregation said to them, “If only we had died in the land of Egypt, or if only we had died in this wilderness!
et murmurati sunt contra Mosen et Aaron cuncti filii Israhel dicentes
3 Why is the LORD bringing us into this land to fall by the sword? Our wives and children will become plunder. Would it not be better for us to go back to 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 So they said to one another, “Let us appoint a leader and return to Egypt.”
dixeruntque alter ad alterum constituamus nobis ducem et revertamur in Aegyptum
5 Then Moses and Aaron fell facedown before the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel.
quo audito Moses et Aaron ceciderunt proni in terram coram omni multitudine filiorum Israhel
6 Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had 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 and said to the whole congregation of Israel, “The land we passed through and explored 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, He will bring us into this land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and He will give it to us.
si propitius fuerit Dominus inducet nos in eam et tradet humum lacte et melle manantem
9 Only do not rebel against the LORD, and do not be afraid of the people of the land, for they will be like bread for us. Their protection has been removed, and the LORD is with us. Do not be afraid of 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 the whole congregation threatened to stone Joshua and Caleb. Then the glory of the LORD appeared to all the Israelites at the Tent of Meeting.
cumque clamaret omnis multitudo et lapidibus eos vellet opprimere apparuit gloria Domini super tectum foederis cunctis filiis Israhel
11 And the LORD said to Moses, “How long will this people treat Me with contempt? How long will they refuse to believe in Me, despite all the signs I have performed 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 a plague and destroy them—and I will make you into a nation greater and mightier than they are.”
feriam igitur eos pestilentia atque consumam te autem faciam principem super gentem magnam et fortiorem quam haec est
13 But Moses said to the LORD, “The Egyptians will hear of it, for by Your strength You brought this people from among them.
et ait Moses ad Dominum ut audiant Aegyptii de quorum medio eduxisti populum istum
14 And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have already heard that You, O LORD, are in the midst of this people, that You, O LORD, have been seen face to face, that Your cloud stands over them, and that You go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and 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 If You kill this people as one man, the nations who have heard of Your fame will say,
quod occideris tantam multitudinem quasi unum hominem et dicant
16 ‘Because the LORD was unable to bring this people into the land He swore to give them, He has slaughtered them in the wilderness.’
non poterat introducere populum in terram pro qua iuraverat idcirco occidit eos in solitudine
17 So now I pray, may the power of my Lord be magnified, just as You have declared:
magnificetur ergo fortitudo Domini sicut iurasti dicens
18 ‘The LORD is slow to anger and abounding in loving devotion, forgiving iniquity and transgression. Yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished; He will visit the iniquity of the fathers upon their children to the third and 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 Pardon, I pray, the iniquity of this people, in keeping with the greatness of Your loving devotion, just as You have forgiven them ever since they left Egypt.”
dimitte obsecro peccatum populi tui huius secundum magnitudinem misericordiae tuae sicut propitius fuisti egredientibus de Aegypto usque ad locum istum
20 “I have pardoned them as you requested,” the LORD replied.
dixitque Dominus dimisi iuxta verbum tuum
21 “Yet as surely as I live and as surely as the whole earth is filled with the glory of the LORD,
vivo ego et implebitur gloria Domini universa terra
22 not one of the men who have seen My glory and the signs I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness—yet have tested Me and disobeyed Me these ten times—
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 not one will ever see the land that I swore to give their fathers. None of those who have treated Me with contempt will see it.
non videbunt terram pro qua iuravi patribus eorum nec quisquam ex illis qui detraxit mihi intuebitur eam
24 But because My servant Caleb has a different spirit and has followed Me wholeheartedly, I will bring him into the land he has entered, and his descendants will inherit it.
servum meum Chaleb qui plenus alio spiritu secutus est me inducam in terram hanc quam circuivit et semen eius possidebit eam
25 Now since the Amalekites and Canaanites are living in the valleys, turn back tomorrow and head for the wilderness along the route to the Red Sea.”
quoniam Amalechites et Chananeus habitant in vallibus cras movete castra et revertimini in solitudinem per viam maris Rubri
26 Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen et Aaron dicens
27 “How long will this wicked congregation grumble against Me? I have heard the complaints that the Israelites are making against Me.
usquequo multitudo haec pessima murmurat contra me querellas filiorum Israhel audivi
28 So tell them: As surely as I live, declares the LORD, I will do to you exactly as I heard you say.
dic ergo eis vivo ego ait Dominus sicut locuti estis audiente me sic faciam vobis
29 Your bodies will fall in this wilderness—all who were numbered in the census, everyone twenty years of age or older—because you have grumbled against Me.
in solitudine hac iacebunt cadavera vestra omnes qui numerati estis a viginti annis et supra et murmurastis contra me
30 Surely none of you will enter the land in which I swore to settle you, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua 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 your children, whom you said would become plunder, into the land you have rejected—and they will enjoy it.
parvulos autem vestros de quibus dixistis quod praedae hostibus forent introducam ut videant terram quae vobis displicuit
32 As for you, however, your bodies will fall in this wilderness.
vestra cadavera iacebunt in solitudine
33 Your children will be shepherds in the wilderness for forty years, and they will suffer for your unfaithfulness until the last of your bodies lies in the wilderness.
filii vestri erunt vagi in deserto annis quadraginta et portabunt fornicationem vestram donec consumantur cadavera patrum in deserto
34 In keeping with the forty days you spied out the land, you shall bear your guilt forty years—a year for each day—and you will experience 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, and I will surely do these things to this entire wicked congregation, which has conspired against Me. They will meet their end in the wilderness, and there they will die.”
quoniam sicut locutus sum ita faciam omni multitudini huic pessimae quae consurrexit adversum me in solitudine hac deficiet et morietur
36 So the men Moses had sent to spy out the land, who had returned and made the whole congregation grumble against him by bringing out a bad report about 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 those men who had brought out the bad report about the land—were struck down by a plague before the LORD.
mortui sunt atque percussi in conspectu Domini
38 Of those men who had gone to spy out the land, only Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh remained alive.
Iosue autem filius Nun et Chaleb filius Iepphonne vixerunt ex omnibus qui perrexerant ad considerandam terram
39 And when Moses relayed these words to all the Israelites, the people mourned bitterly.
locutusque est Moses universa verba haec ad omnes filios Israhel et luxit populus nimis
40 Early the next morning they got up and went up toward the ridge of the hill country. “We have indeed sinned,” they said, “but we will go to the place the LORD has promised.”
et ecce mane primo surgentes ascenderunt verticem montis atque dixerunt parati sumus ascendere ad locum de quo Dominus locutus est quia peccavimus
41 But Moses said, “Why are you transgressing the commandment of the LORD? This will not succeed!
quibus Moses cur inquit transgredimini verbum Domini quod vobis non cedet in prosperum
42 Do not go up, lest you be struck down by your enemies, because the LORD is not among you.
nolite ascendere non enim est Dominus vobiscum ne corruatis coram inimicis vestris
43 For there the Amalekites and Canaanites will face you, and you will fall by the sword. Because you have turned away from the LORD, He 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 dared to go up to the ridge of the hill country, though neither Moses nor the ark of the covenant of the LORD moved from the camp.
at illi contenebrati ascenderunt in verticem montis arca autem testamenti Domini et Moses non recesserunt de castris
45 Then the Amalekites and Canaanites who lived in that part of the hill country came down, attacked them, and routed them all the way to Hormah.
descenditque Amalechites et Chananeus qui habitabant in monte et percutiens eos atque concidens persecutus est usque Horma
