Numbers 14
1 And all the congregation lifts up, and they give forth their voice, and the people weep during that night;
当下，全会众大声喧嚷；那夜百姓都哭号。
2 and all the sons of Israel murmur against Moses and against Aaron, and all the congregation says to them, “O that we had died in the land of Egypt, or in this wilderness, O that we had died!
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 is YHWH bringing us to this land to fall by the sword, [that] our wives and our infants become a prey? Is it not good for us to return to 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 say to one another, “Let us appoint a head and return to Egypt.”
众人彼此说：“我们不如立一个首领回埃及去吧！”
5 And Moses falls—Aaron also—on their faces, before all the assembly of the congregation of the sons of Israel.
摩西、亚伦就俯伏在以色列全会众面前。
6 And Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, of those spying out the land, have torn their garments,
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 speak to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, saying, “The land into which we have passed over to spy it out [is] a very, very 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 YHWH has delighted in us, then He has brought us into this land, and has given it to us, a land which is flowing 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, do not rebel against YHWH: and you, do not fear the people of the land, for they [are] our bread; their defense has turned aside from off them, and YHWH [is] with us; do not fear them.”
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 And all the congregation says to stone them with stones, and the glory of YHWH has appeared in the Tent of Meeting to all the sons 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 YHWH says to Moses, “Until when does this people despise Me? And until when do they not believe in Me, for all the signs which I have done in its midst?
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 strike it with pestilence, and dispossess it, and make you become a nation greater and mightier than it.”
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 says to YHWH, “Then the Egyptians have heard! For with Your power You have brought up this people out of their midst,
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 have said [it] to the inhabitant of this land, they have heard that You, YHWH, [are] in the midst of this people, that You are seen eye to eye—O YHWH, and Your cloud is standing over them—and in a pillar of cloud You are going before them by day, 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 And You have put to death this people as one man, and the nations who have heard Your fame have spoken, 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 From YHWH’s want of ability to bring in this people to the land which He has sworn to them, He slaughters 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, please let the power of my Lord be great, as You have spoken, saying,
现在求主大显能力，照你所说过的话说：
18 YHWH [is] slow to anger and of great kindness, bearing away iniquity and transgression, and not entirely acquitting, charging iniquity of fathers on sons, on a third and on a 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 please forgive the iniquity of this people, according to the greatness of Your kindness, and as You have borne with 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 YHWH says, “I have forgiven according to your word,
耶和华说：“我照着你的话赦免了他们。
21 but nevertheless, as I live, indeed, the whole earth is filled [with] the glory of YHWH,
然我指着我的永生起誓，遍地要被我的荣耀充满。
22 for all the men who are seeing My glory and My signs which I have done in Egypt and in the wilderness, and try Me 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 they do not see the land which I have sworn to their fathers, indeed, none of those despising 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 there has been another spirit with him, and he is fully after Me—I have brought him into the land to where he has entered, and his seed possesses 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 And the Amalekite and the Canaanite are dwelling in the valley; tomorrow turn and journey for yourselves into the wilderness—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 YHWH speaks to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
耶和华对摩西、亚伦说：
27 “Until when [do I bear] with this evil congregation—they who are murmuring against Me? The murmurings of the sons of Israel, which they are murmuring against Me, I have heard;
“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 I live—a declaration of YHWH—if, as you have spoken in My ears, do I not do so 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 fall in this wilderness, even all your numbered ones, to all your number, from a son of twenty years and upward, who 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 you do not come into the land [for] which I have lifted up My hand to cause you to dwell in it, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua 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 As for your infants—of whom you have said, They become a spoil—I have even brought them in, and they have known the land which you have kicked against;
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 as for you—your carcasses fall in this wilderness,
至于你们，你们的尸首必倒在这旷野；
33 and your sons are shepherding in the wilderness [for] forty years, and have borne your whoredoms until your carcasses are consumed 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 by the number of the days [in] which you spied out the land, forty days—a day for a year, a day for a year—you bear your iniquities [for] forty years, and you have known My opposition;
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, YHWH, have spoken; if, nonetheless, I do this to all this evil congregation who are meeting against Me—they are consumed in this wilderness, and there they 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 Then the men whom Moses has sent to spy out the land, [who] then return and cause all the congregation to murmur against him by bringing out an evil account concerning 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 the men bringing out an evil account of the land, they die by the plague before YHWH;
这些报恶信的人都遭瘟疫，死在耶和华面前。
38 and Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh have lived, of those men who go to spy out the land.
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 speaks these words to all the sons of Israel, and the people mourn exceedingly,
摩西将这些话告诉以色列众人，他们就甚悲哀。
40 and they rise early in the morning, and go up to the top of the mountain, saying, “Here we [are], and we have come up to the place which YHWH has spoken of, 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 says, “Why [is] this [that] you are transgressing the command of YHWH? For it does 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 do not go up, for YHWH is not in your midst, and you are not struck 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 Amalekite and the Canaanite [are] there before you, and you have fallen by the sword, because that you have turned back from after YHWH, and YHWH is not 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 And they presume to go up to the top of the mountain, but the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH, and Moses, have not departed out of the midst 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 And the Amalekite and the Canaanite who are dwelling in that mountain come down and strike them, and beat them down 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。
