Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Then the whole congregation lifted up their voices and cried out, and that night the people wept.
1當下，全會眾大聲喧嚷；那夜百姓都哭號。
2All 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!
2以色列 眾人向 摩西 、 亞倫 發怨言；全會眾對他們說：「巴不得我們早死在 埃及 地，或是死在這曠野。
3Why 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?”
3耶和華為甚麼把我們領到那地，使我們倒在刀下呢？我們的妻子和孩子必被擄掠。我們回 埃及 去豈不好嗎？」
4So they said to one another, “Let us appoint a leader and return to Egypt.”
4眾人彼此說：「我們不如立一個首領回 埃及 去吧！」
5Then Moses and Aaron fell facedown before the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel.
5摩西 、 亞倫 就俯伏在 以色列 全會眾面前。
6Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes
6窺探地的人中， 嫩 的兒子 約書亞 和 耶孚尼 的兒子 迦勒 撕裂衣服，
7and said to the whole congregation of Israel, “The land we passed through and explored is an exceedingly good land.
7對 以色列 全會眾說：「我們所窺探、經過之地是極美之地。
8If 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.
8耶和華若喜悅我們，就必將我們領進那地，把地賜給我們；那地原是流奶與蜜之地。
9Only 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!”
9但你們不可背叛耶和華，也不要怕那地的居民；因為他們是我們的食物，並且蔭庇他們的已經離開他們。有耶和華與我們同在，不要怕他們！」
10But 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.
10但全會眾說：「拿石頭打死他們 二人 。」忽然，耶和華的榮光在會幕中向 以色列 眾人顯現。
11And 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?
11耶和華對 摩西 說：「這百姓藐視我要到幾時呢？我在他們中間行了這一切神蹟，他們還不信我要到幾時呢？
12I will strike them with a plague and destroy them—and I will make you into a nation greater and mightier than they are.”
12我要用瘟疫擊殺他們，使他們不得承受 那地 ，叫你的後裔成為大國，比他們強勝。」
13But Moses said to the LORD, “The Egyptians will hear of it, for by Your strength You brought this people from among them.
13摩西 對耶和華說：「 埃及 人必聽見這事；因為你曾施展大能，將這百姓從他們中間領上來。
14And 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.
14埃及 人要將這事傳給 迦南 地的居民；那民已經聽見你－耶和華是在這百姓中間；因為你面對面被人看見，有你的雲彩停在他們以上。你日間在雲柱中，夜間在火柱中，在他們前面行。
15If You kill this people as one man, the nations who have heard of Your fame will say,
15如今你若把這百姓殺了，如殺一人，那些聽見你名聲的列邦必議論說：
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.’
16『耶和華因為不能把這百姓領進他向他們起誓應許之地，所以在曠野把他們殺了。』
17So now I pray, may the power of my Lord be magnified, just as You have declared:
17現在求主大顯能力，照你所說過的話說：
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.’
18『耶和華不輕易發怒，並有豐盛的慈愛，赦免罪孽和過犯；萬不以 有罪的 為無罪，必追討他的罪，自父及子，直到三、四代。』
19Pardon, 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.”
19求你照你的大慈愛赦免這百姓的罪孽，好像你從 埃及 到如今常赦免他們一樣。」
20“I have pardoned them as you requested,” the LORD replied.
20耶和華說：「我照着你的話赦免了他們。
21“Yet as surely as I live and as surely as the whole earth is filled with the glory of the LORD,
21然我指着我的永生起誓，遍地要被我的榮耀充滿。
22not 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—
22這些人雖看見我的榮耀和我在 埃及 與曠野所行的神蹟，仍然試探我這十次，不聽從我的話，
23not 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.
23他們斷不得看見我向他們的祖宗所起誓應許之地。凡藐視我的，一個也不得看見；
24But 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.
24惟獨我的僕人 迦勒 ，因他另有一個心志，專一跟從我，我就把他領進他所去過的那地；他的後裔也必得那地為業。
25Now 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.”
25亞瑪力 人和 迦南 人住在谷中，明天你們要轉回，從 紅海 的路往曠野去。」
26Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
26耶和華對 摩西 、 亞倫 說：
27“How long will this wicked congregation grumble against Me? I have heard the complaints that the Israelites are making against Me.
27「這惡會眾向我發怨言， 我忍耐 他們要到幾時呢？ 以色列 人向我所發的怨言，我都聽見了。
28So tell them: As surely as I live, declares the LORD, I will do to you exactly as I heard you say.
28你們告訴他們，耶和華說：『我指着我的永生起誓，我必要照你們達到我耳中的話待你們。
29Your 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.
29你們的屍首必倒在這曠野，並且你們中間凡被數點、從二十歲以外、向我發怨言的，
30Surely none of you will enter the land in which I swore to settle you, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.
30必不得進我起誓應許叫你們住的那地；惟有 耶孚尼 的兒子 迦勒 和 嫩 的兒子 約書亞 才能進去。
31But I will bring your children, whom you said would become plunder, into the land you have rejected—and they will enjoy it.
31但你們的 婦人 孩子，就是你們所說、要被擄掠的，我必把他們領進去，他們就得知你們所厭棄的那地。
32As for you, however, your bodies will fall in this wilderness.
32至於你們，你們的屍首必倒在這曠野；
33Your 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.
33你們的兒女必在曠野飄流四十年，擔當你們淫行的罪，直到你們的屍首在曠野消滅。
34In 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.
34按你們窺探那地的四十日，一年頂一日，你們要擔當罪孽四十年，就知道我與你們疏遠了，
35I, 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.”
35我－耶和華說過，我總要這樣待這一切聚集敵我的惡會眾；他們必在這曠野消滅，在這裏死亡。』」
36So 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—
36摩西 所打發、窺探那地的人回來，報那地的惡信，叫全會眾向 摩西 發怨言，
37those men who had brought out the bad report about the land—were struck down by a plague before the LORD.
37這些報惡信的人都遭瘟疫，死在耶和華面前。
38Of those men who had gone to spy out the land, only Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh remained alive.
38其中惟有 嫩 的兒子 約書亞 和 耶孚尼 的兒子 迦勒 仍然存活。
39And when Moses relayed these words to all the Israelites, the people mourned bitterly.
39摩西 將這些話告訴 以色列 眾人，他們就甚悲哀。
40Early 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.”
40清早起來，上山頂去，說：「我們在這裏，我們有罪了；情願上耶和華所應許的地方去。」
41But Moses said, “Why are you transgressing the commandment of the LORD? This will not succeed!
41摩西 說：「你們為何違背耶和華的命令呢？這事不能順利了。
42Do not go up, lest you be struck down by your enemies, because the LORD is not among you.
42不要上去；因為耶和華不在你們中間，恐怕你們被仇敵殺敗了。
43For 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.”
43亞瑪力 人和 迦南 人都在你們面前，你們必倒在刀下；因你們退回不跟從耶和華，所以他必不與你們同在。」
44But 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.
44他們卻擅敢上山頂去，然而耶和華的約櫃和 摩西 沒有出營。
45Then 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.
45於是 亞瑪力 人和住在那山上的 迦南 人都下來擊打他們，把他們殺退了，直到 何珥瑪 。
