Numbers 14
1 And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.
当下，全会众大声喧嚷；那夜百姓都哭号。
2 And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said to them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness!
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。
3 And why has the LORD brought us to this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt?
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？”
4 And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.
众人彼此说：“我们不如立一个首领回埃及去吧！”
5 Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.
摩西、亚伦就俯伏在以色列全会众面前。
6 And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes:
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，
7 And they spoke to all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land.
对以色列全会众说：“我们所窥探、经过之地是极美之地。
8 If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which flows with milk and honey.
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。
9 Only rebel not you against the LORD, neither fear you the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defense is departed from them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not.
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！”
10 But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And the glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before all the children of Israel.
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。
11 And the LORD said to Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be before they believe me, for all the signs which I have showed among them?
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？
12 I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of you a greater nation and mightier than they.
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。”
13 And Moses said to the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear it, (for you brought up this people in your might from among them; )
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。
14 And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they have heard that you LORD are among this people, that you LORD are seen face to face, and that your cloud stands over them, and that you go before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.
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。
15 Now if you shall kill all this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of you will speak, saying,
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：
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.
‘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。’
17 And now, I beseech you, let the power of my LORD be great, according as you have spoken, saying,
现在求主大显能力，照你所说过的话说：
18 The LORD is long-suffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation.
‘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。’
19 Pardon, I beseech you, the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of your mercy, and as you have forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.
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。”
20 And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to your word:
耶和华说：“我照着你的话赦免了他们。
21 But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD.
然我指着我的永生起誓，遍地要被我的荣耀充满。
22 Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not listened to my voice;
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，
23 Surely they shall not see the land which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:
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；
24 But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and has followed me fully, him will I bring into the land into where he went; and his seed shall possess it.
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。
25 (Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelled in the valley.) Tomorrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
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。”
26 And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
耶和华对摩西、亚伦说：
27 How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.
“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。
28 Say to them, As truly as I live, says the LORD, as you have spoken in my ears, so will I do to you:
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。
29 Your carcasses shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward which have murmured against me.
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，
30 Doubtless you shall not come into the land, concerning which I swore to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
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。
31 But your little ones, which you said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which you have despised.
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。
32 But as for you, your carcasses, they shall fall in this wilderness.
至于你们，你们的尸首必倒在这旷野；
33 And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your prostitutions, until your carcasses be wasted in the wilderness.
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。
34 After the number of the days in which you searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall you bear your iniquities, even forty years, and you shall know my breach of promise.
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，
35 I the LORD have said, I will surely do it to all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.
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。’”
36 And the men, which Moses sent to search the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up a slander on the land,
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，
37 Even those men that did bring up the evil report on the land, died by the plague before the LORD.
这些报恶信的人都遭瘟疫，死在耶和华面前。
38 But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of the men that went to search the land, lived still.
其中惟有嫩的儿子约书亚和耶孚尼的儿子迦勒仍然存活。
39 And Moses told these sayings to all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly.
摩西将这些话告诉以色列众人，他们就甚悲哀。
40 And they rose up early in the morning, and got them up into the top of the mountain, saying, See, we be here, and will go up to the place which the LORD has promised: for we have sinned.
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。”
41 And Moses said, Why now do you transgress the commandment of the LORD? but it shall not prosper.
摩西说：“你们为何违背耶和华的命令呢？这事不能顺利了。
42 Go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that you be not smitten before your enemies.
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。
43 For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and you shall fall by the sword: because you are turned away from the LORD, therefore the LORD will not be with you.
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。”
44 But they presumed to go up to the hill top: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and Moses, departed not out of the camp.
他们却擅敢上山顶去，然而耶和华的约柜和摩西没有出营。
45 Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which dwelled in that hill, and smote them, and discomfited them, even to Hormah.
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。
