Numbers 14

1 And it lifted up all the congregation and they gave forth voice their and they wept the people in the night that.

All the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.

2 And they grumbled on Moses and on Aaron all [the] people of Israel and they said to them all the congregation if we had died in [the] land of Egypt or in the wilderness this if we had died.

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!

3 And why? [is] Yahweh bringing us into the land this to fall by the sword wives our and little one[s] our they will become plunder ¿ not good for us [is] to return Egypt towards.

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! Wouldn’t it be better for us to return into Egypt?”

4 And they said each to brother his let us appoint a leader and let us return Egypt towards.

They said to one another, “Let’s choose a leader, and let’s return into Egypt.”

5 And he fell Moses and Aaron on faces their before all [the] assembly of [the] congregation of [the] people of Israel.

Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.

6 And Joshua [the] son of Nun and Caleb [the] son of Jephunneh one of those [who] spied out the land they tore clothes their.

Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were of those who spied out the land, tore their clothes.

7 And they said to all [the] congregation of [the] people of Israel saying the land which we passed in it to spy out it [is] good the land very very.

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.

8 If he delights in us Yahweh and he will bring us into the land this and he will give it to us a land which it [is] flowing of milk and honey.

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.

9 Only against Yahweh may not you rebel and you may not you fear [the] people of the land for [will be] bread our they it has departed shade their from over them and Yahweh [is] with us may not you fear them.

Only don’t 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. Don’t fear them.”

10 And they said all the congregation to stone them with stones and [the] glory of Yahweh it appeared at [the] tent of meeting to all [the] people of Israel.

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.

11 And he said Yahweh to Moses until when? will they spurn me the people this and until when? not will they believe in me with all the signs which I did in midst its.

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?

12 I will strike it with pestilence and I will dispossess it and I may make you a nation great and mighty more than it.

I will strike them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of you a nation greater and mightier than they.”

13 And he said Moses to Yahweh and they will hear Egypt that you brought up by strength your the people this from midst its.

Moses said to the LORD, “Then the Egyptians will hear it; for you brought up this people in your might from among them.

14 And they will say to [the] inhabitant[s] of the land this they have heard that you O Yahweh [are] in [the] midst of the people this who eye in eye he was seen - you O Yahweh and cloud your [is] standing over them and in a pillar of cloud you [are] going before them by day and in a pillar of fire night.

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.

15 And you will put to death the people this like a person one and they will say the nations which they have heard report your saying.

Now if you killed this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of you will speak, saying,

16 Because not was able Yahweh to bring the people this into the land which he swore to them and he has slaughtered them in the wilderness.

‘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.’

17 And therefore may it be great please [the] power of [the] Lord just as you have spoken saying.

Now please let the power of the Lord be great, according as you have spoken, saying,

18 Yahweh [is] long of anger and great of covenant loyalty forgiving iniquity and transgression and certainly not he will leave unpunished visiting [the] iniquity of parents on [the] children on a third generation and on a fourth generation.

‘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.’

19 Forgive please [the] iniquity of the people this according to [the] greatness of covenant loyalty your and just as you have forgiven the people this from Egypt and until now.

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.”

20 And he said Yahweh I have forgiven [them] according to word your.

The LORD said, “I have pardoned according to your word;

21 And but [by] [the] life of me so may be filled [with the] glory of Yahweh all the earth.

but in very deed—as I live, and as all the earth shall be filled with the LORD’s glory—

22 For all the men who saw glory my and signs my which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness and they have put to [the] test me this ten times and not they have listened to voice my.

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;

23 If they will see the land which I swore to ancestors their and all [those who] have spurned me not they will see it.

surely they shall not see the land which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any of those who despised me see it.

24 And servant my Caleb consequence it has been a spirit another with him and he has filled after me and I will bring him into the land where he went there and offspring his it will take possession of it.

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.

25 And the Amalekite[s] and the Canaanite[s] [was] dwelling in the valley[s] tomorrow turn and set out for yourselves the wilderness [the] way of [the] sea of reed[s].

Since the Amalekite and the Canaanite dwell in the valley, tomorrow turn and go into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea.”

26 And he spoke Yahweh to Moses and to Aaron saying.

The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

27 Until when? to the congregation evil this which they [are] grumbling on me [the] grumblings of [the] people of Israel which they [are] grumbling on me I have heard.

“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.

28 Say to them [by] [the] life of me [the] utterance of Yahweh if not just as you have spoken in ears my so I will do to you.

Tell them, ‘As I live, says the LORD, surely as you have spoken in my ears, so I will do to you.

29 In the wilderness this they will fall corpses your and all enrolled [men] your of all number your from a son of twenty year[s] and up-wards who you have grumbled on me.

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,

30 If you you will go into the land which I lifted up hand my to cause to dwell you in it that except Caleb [the] son of Jephunneh and Joshua [the] son of Nun.

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.

31 And little one[s] your who you said plunder he will become and I will bring them and they will know the land which you have rejected it.

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.

32 And corpses your you they will fall in the wilderness this.

But as for you, your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness.

33 And children your they will be shepherds in the wilderness forty year[s] and they will bear prostitution your until are finished corpses your in the wilderness.

Your children shall be wanderers in the wilderness forty years, and shall bear your prostitution, until your dead bodies are consumed in the wilderness.

34 By [the] number of the days which you spied out the land forty day[s] a day for the year a day for the year you will bear iniquities your forty year[s] and you will know opposition my.

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.’

35 I Yahweh I have spoken if not - this I will do to all the congregation evil this which has gathered on me in the wilderness this they will meet their end and there they will die.

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.”

36 And the men whom he sent Moses to spy out the land and they returned (and they caused to grumble *Q(K)*) on him all the congregation by bringing out a bad report on the land.

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,

37 And they died the men [who] brought out [the] unfavorable report of the land evil by plague before Yahweh.

even those men who brought up an evil report of the land, died by the plague before the LORD.

38 And Joshua [the] son of Nun and Caleb [the] son of Jephunneh they lived of the men those who went to spy out the land.

But Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh remained alive of those men who went to spy out the land.

39 And he spoke Moses the words these to all [the] people of Israel and they mourned the people exceedingly.

Moses told these words to all the children of Israel, and the people mourned greatly.

40 And they rose early in the morning and they went up to [the] top of the hill country saying here [are] we and we will go up to the place which he said Yahweh that we have sinned.

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.”

41 And he said Moses why? this [are] you transgressing [the] mouth of Yahweh and it not it will succeed.

Moses said, “Why now do you disobey the commandment of the LORD, since it shall not prosper?

42 May not you go up for not Yahweh [will be] in midst your and not you will be defeated before enemies your.

Don’t go up, for the LORD isn’t among you; that way you won’t be struck down before your enemies.

43 For the Amalekite[s] and the Canaanite[s] [are] there before you and you will fall by the sword for since you have turned back from after Yahweh and not he will be Yahweh with you.

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.”

44 And they presumed to go up to [the] top of the hill country and [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh and Moses not they departed from [the] midst of the camp.

But they presumed to go up to the top of the mountain. Nevertheless, the ark of the LORD’s covenant and Moses didn’t depart out of the camp.

45 And he came down the Amalekite[s] and the Canaanite[s] who dwelt in the hill country that and they struck them and they scattered them to Hormah.

Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites who lived in that mountain, and struck them and beat them down even to Hormah.
