Numbers 14
1 And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.
Igitur vociferans omnis turba flevit nocte illa,
2 And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness!
et murmurati sunt contra Moysen et Aaron cuncti filii Israel, dicentes:
3 And wherefore doth the LORD bring us unto this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones shall be a prey: were it not better for us to return into Egypt?
Utinam mortui essemus in Ægypto: et 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 Ægyptum?
4 And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.
Dixeruntque alter ad alterum: Constituamus nobis ducem, et revertamur in Ægyptum.
5 Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.
Quo audito Moyses et Aaron ceciderunt proni in terram coram omni multitudine filiorum Israel.
6 And Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that spied out the land, rent their clothes:
At vero Iosue filius Nun, et Caleb filius Iephone, qui et ipsi lustraverant terram, sciderunt vestimenta sua,
7 and they spake unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceeding good land.
et ad omnem multitudinem filiorum Israel locuti sunt: Terra, quam circuivimus, valde bona est.
8 If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it unto us; a land which floweth with milk and honey.
Si propitius fuerit Dominus, inducet nos in eam, et tradet humum lacte et melle manantem.
9 Only rebel not against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is removed from over them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not.
Nolite rebelles esse contra Dominum: neque timeatis populum terræ huius, quia sicut panem ita eos possumus devorare. Recessit ab eis omne præsidium: Dominus nobiscum est, nolite metuere.
10 But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And the glory of the LORD appeared in the tent of meeting unto all the children of Israel.
Cumque clamaret omnis multitudo, et lapidibus eos vellet opprimere, apparuit gloria Domini super tectum fœderis cunctis filiis Israel.
11 And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this people despise me? and how long will they not believe in me, for all the signs which I have wrought among them?
Et dixit Dominus ad Moysen: Usquequo detrahet mihi populus iste? Quousque non credent mihi in omnibus signis, quæ feci coram eis?
12 I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a nation greater and mightier than they.
Feriam igitur eos pestilentia, atque consumam: te autem faciam principem super gentem magnam, et fortiorem quam hæc est.
13 And Moses said unto the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear it; for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them;
Et ait Moyses ad Dominum: Ut audiant Ægyptii, de quorum medio eduxisti populum istum,
14 and they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: they have heard that thou LORD art in the midst of this people; for thou LORD art seen face to face, and thy cloud standeth over them, and thou goest before them, in a pillar of cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night.
et habitatores Terræ huius, qui audierunt quod tu Domine in populo isto sis, et facie videaris ad faciem, et nubes tua protegat illos, et in columna nubis præcedas eos per diem, et in columna ignis per noctem:
15 Now if thou shalt kill this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee 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 sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness.
Non poterat introducere populum in Terram, pro qua iuraverat: idcirco occidit eos in solitudine.
17 And now, I pray thee, let the power of the Lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying,
Magnificetur ergo fortitudo Domini sicut iurasti, dicens:
18 The LORD is slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and that will by no means clear [the guilty]; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon the third and upon the fourth generation.
Dominus patiens et multæ misericordiæ, auferens iniquitatem et scelera, nullumque innoxium derelinquens, qui visitas peccata patrum in filios in tertiam et quartam generationem.
19 Pardon, I pray thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of thy mercy, and according as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.
Dimitte, obsecro, peccatum populi huius secundum magnitudinem misericordiæ tuæ, sicut propitius fuisti egredientibus de Ægypto usque ad locum istum.
20 And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy 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 glory of the LORD;
Vivo ego: et implebitur gloria Domini universa terra.
22 because all those men which have seen my glory, and my signs, which I wrought in Egypt and in the wilderness, yet have tempted me these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;
At tamen omnes homines qui viderunt maiestatem meam, et signa quæ feci in Ægypto et in solitudine, et tentaverunt me iam per decem vices, nec obedierunt voci meæ,
23 surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that 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 hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.
Servum meum Caleb, qui plenus alio spiritu secutus est me, inducam in Terram hanc, quam circuivit: et semen eius possidebit eam.
25 Now the Amalekite and the Canaanite dwell in the valley: tomorrow turn ye, and get you into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea.
Quoniam Amalecites et Chananæus habitant in vallibus. Cras movete castra, et revertimini in solitudinem per viam Maris Rubri.
26 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen et Aaron, dicens:
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.
Usquequo multitudo hæc pessima murmurat contra me? Querelas filiorum Israel audivi.
28 Say unto them, As I live, saith the LORD, surely as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:
Dic ergo eis: Vivo ego, ait Dominus: sicut locuti estis audiente me, sic faciam vobis.
29 your carcases 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,
In solitudine hac iacebunt cadavera vestra. Omnes qui numerati estis a viginti annis et supra, et murmurastis contra me,
30 surely ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I lifted up my hand that I would make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
non intrabitis Terram, super quam levavi manum meam ut habitare vos facerem, præter Caleb filium Iephone, et Iosue filium Nun.
31 But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have rejected.
Parvulos autem vestros, de quibus dixistis quod prædæ hostibus forent, introducam: ut videant Terram, quæ vobis displicuit.
32 But as for you, your carcases shall fall in this wilderness.
Vestra cadavera iacebunt in solitudine.
33 And your children shall be wanderers in the wilderness forty years, and shall bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be 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 ye spied out the land, even forty days, for every day a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my alienation.
iuxta numerum quadraginta dierum, quibus considerastis Terram: annus pro die imputabitur. Et quadraginta annis recipietis iniquitates vestras, et scietis ultionem meam:
35 I the LORD have spoken, surely this will I do unto all this evil congregation, that 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 pessimæ, quæ consurrexit adversum me: in solitudine hac deficiet, et morietur.
36 And the men, which 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 Moyses ad contemplandam Terram, et qui reversi murmurare fecerant contra eum omnem multitudinem, detrahentes Terræ quod esset mala,
37 even those men that did bring 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 that went to spy out the land.
Iosue autem filius Nun, et Caleb filius Iephone vixerunt ex omnibus, qui perrexerant ad considerandam Terram.
39 And Moses told these words unto all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly.
Locutusque est Moyses universa verba hæc ad omnes filios Israel, et luxit populus nimis.
40 And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up to the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we be here, and will go up unto the place which the LORD hath 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 And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of the LORD, seeing it shall not prosper?
Quibus Moyses: Cur, inquit, transgredimini verbum Domini, quod vobis non cedet in prosperum?
42 Go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that ye be not smitten 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 ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned back from following the LORD, therefore the LORD will not be with you.
Amalecites et Chananæus ante vos sunt, quorum gladio corruetis, eo quod nolueritis acquiescere Domino, nec erit Dominus vobiscum.
44 But they presumed to go up to the top of the mountain: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and Moses, departed not out of the camp.
At illi contenebrati ascenderunt in verticem montis. Arca autem testamenti Domini et Moyses non recesserunt de castris.
45 Then the Amalekite came down, and the Canaanite which dwelt in that mountain, and smote them and beat them down, even unto Hormah.
Descenditque Amalecites et Chananæus, qui habitabat in monte: et percutiens eos atque concidens, persecutus est eos usque Horma.
