1Wherefore the whole multitude crying wept that night.
1ΚΑΙ ἀναλαβοῦσα πᾶσα ἡ συναγωγὴ ἐνέδωκε φωνήν, καὶ ἔκλαιεν ὁ λαὸς ὅλην τὴν νύκτα ἐκείνην.
2And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron, saying:
2καὶ διεγόγγυζον ἐπὶ Μωυσῆν καὶ Ἀαρὼν πάντες οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραήλ, καὶ εἶπαν πρὸς αὐτοὺς πᾶσα ἡ συναγωγή· ὄφελον ἀπεθάνομεν ἐν τῇ Αἰγύπτῳ, ἢ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ ταύτῃ εἰ ἀπεθάνομεν.
3Would God that we had died in Egypt and would God we may die in this vast wilderness, and that the Lord may not bring us into this land, lest we fall by the sword, and our wives and children be led away captives. Is it not better to return into Egypt?
3καὶ ἱνατί Κύριος εἰσάγει ἡμᾶς εἰς τὴν γῆν ταύτην πεσεῖν ἐν πολέμῳ; αἱ γυναῖκες ἡμῶν καὶ τὰ παιδία ἔσονται εἰς διαρπαγήν· νῦν οὖν βέλτιον ἡμῖν ἐστιν ἀποστραφῆναι εἰς Αἴγυπτον.
4And they said one to another: Let us appoint a captain, and let us return into Egypt.
4καὶ εἶπαν ἕτερος τῷ ἑτέρῳ· δῶμεν ἀρχηγὸν καὶ ἀποστρέψωμεν εἰς Αἴγυπτον.
5And when Moses and Aaron heard this, they fell down flat upon the ground before the multitude of the children of Israel.
5καὶ ἔπεσε Μωυσῆς καὶ Ἀαρὼν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον ἐναντίον πάσης συναγωγῆς υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ.
6But Josue the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephone, who themselves also had viewed the land, rent their garments,
6Ἰησοῦς δὲ ὁ τοῦ Ναυὴ καὶ Χάλεβ ὁ τοῦ Ἰεφοννή, τῶν κατασκεψαμένων τὴν γῆν, διέρρηξαν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτῶν
7And said to all the multitude of the children of Israel: The land which we have gone round is very good:
7καὶ εἶπαν πρὸς πᾶσαν συναγωγὴν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ λέγοντες· ἡ γῆ, ἣν κατεσκεψάμεθα αὐτήν, ἀγαθή ἐστι σφόδρα σφόδρα·
8If the Lord be favourable, he will bring us into it, and give us a land flowing with milk and honey.
8εἰ αἱρετίζει ἡμᾶς Κύριος, εἰσάξει ἡμᾶς εἰς τὴν γῆν ταύτην καὶ δώσει αὐτὴν ἡμῖν, γῆ ἥτις ἐστὶ ρέουσα γάλα καὶ μέλι.
9Be not rebellious against the Lord: and fear ye not the people of this land, for we are able to eat them up as bread. All aid is gone from them: the Lord is with us, fear ye not.
9ἀλλὰ ἀπὸ τοῦ Κυρίου μὴ ἀποστάται γίνεσθε· ὑμεῖς δὲ μὴ φοβηθῆτε τὸν λαὸν τῆς γῆς, ὅτι κατάβρωμα ἡμῖν ἐστιν· ἀφέστηκε γὰρ ὁ καιρὸς ἀπ' αὐτῶν, ὁ δὲ Κύριος ἐν ἡμῖν· μὴ φοβηθῆτε αὐτούς.
10And when all the multitude cried out, and would have stoned them, the glory of the Lord appeared over the tabernacle of the covenant to all the children of Israel.
10καὶ εἶπε πᾶσα ἡ συναγωγὴ καταλιθοβολῆσαι αὐτοὺς ἐν λίθοις. καὶ ἡ δόξα Κυρίου ὤφθη ἐν τῇ νεφέλῃ ἐπὶ τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου πᾶσι τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραήλ.
11And the Lord said to Moses: How long will this people detract me? how long will they not believe me for all the signs that I have wrought before them?
11καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν· ἕως τίνος παροξύνει με ὁ λαὸς οὗτος καὶ ἕως τίνος οὐ πιστεύουσί μοι ἐπὶ πᾶσι τοῖς σημείοις, οἷς ἐποίησα ἐν αὐτοῖς;
12I will strike them therefore with pestilence, and will consume them: but thee I will make a ruler over a great nation, and a mightier than this is.
12πατάξω αὐτοὺς θανάτῳ καὶ ἀπολῶ αὐτοὺς καὶ ποιήσω σὲ καὶ τὸν οἶκον τοῦ πατρός σου εἰς ἔθνος μέγα καὶ πολὺ μᾶλλον ἢ τοῦτο.
13And Moses said to the Lord: That the Egyptians, from the midst of whom thou hast brought forth this people,
13καὶ εἶπε Μωυσῆς πρὸς Κύριον· καὶ ἀκούσεται Αἴγυπτος, ὅτι ἀνήγαγες τῇ ἰσχύϊ σου τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον ἐξ αὐτῶν,
14And the inhabitants of this land, (who have heard that thou, O Lord, art among this people, and art seen face to face, and thy cloud protecteth them, and thou goest before them in a pillar of a cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night,)
14ἀλλὰ καὶ πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ταύτης ἀκηκόασιν, ὅτι σὺ εἶ Κύριος ἐν τῷ λαῷ τούτῳ, ὅστις ὀφθαλμοῖς κατ' ὀφθαλμοὺς ὀπτάζῃ, Κύριε, καὶ ἡ νεφέλη σου ἐφέστηκεν ἐπ' αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐν στύλῳ νεφέλης σὺ πορεύῃ πρότερος αὐτῶν τὴν ἡμέραν καὶ ἐν στύλῳ πυρὸς τὴν νύκτα.
15May hear that thou hast killed so great a multitude as it were one man and may say:
15καὶ ἐκτρίψεις τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον ὡσεὶ ἄνθρωπον ἕνα, καὶ ἐροῦσι τὰ ἔθνη, ὅσοι ἀκηκόασι τὸ ὄνομά σου, λέγοντες·
16He could not bring the people into the land for which he had sworn, therefore did he kill them in the wilderness.
16παρὰ τὸ μὴ δύνασθαι Κύριον εἰσαγαγεῖν τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον εἰς τὴν γῆν, ἣν ὤμοσεν αὐτοῖς, κατέστρωσεν αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ.
17Let their the strength of the Lord be magnified, as thou hast sworn, saying:
17καὶ νῦν ὑψωθήτω ἡ ἰσχύς, Κύριε, ὃν τρόπον εἶπας λέγων·
18The Lord is patient and full of mercy, taking away iniquity and wickedness, and leaving no man clear, who visitest the sins of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.
18Κύριος μακρόθυμος καὶ πολυέλεος καὶ ἀληθινός, ἀφαιρῶν ἀνομίας καὶ ἀδικίας καὶ ἁμαρτίας, καὶ καθαρισμῷ οὐ καθαριεῖ τὸν ἔνοχον ἀποδιδοὺς ἁμαρτίας πατέρων ἐπὶ τέκνα ἕως τρίτης καὶ τετάρτης γενεᾶς.
19Forgive, I beseech thee, the sins of this people, according to the greatness of thy mercy, as thou hast been merciful to them from their going out of Egypt unto this place.
19ἄφες τὴν ἁμαρτίαν τῷ λαῷ τούτῳ κατὰ τὸ μέγα ἔλεός σου, καθάπερ ἵλεως ἐγένου αὐτοῖς ἀπ' Αἰγύπτου ἕως τοῦ νῦν.
20And the Lord said: I have forgiven according to thy word.
20καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν· ἵλεως αὐτοῖς εἰμι κατὰ τὸ ρῆμά σου·
21As I live: and the whole earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord.
21ἀλλὰ ζῶ ἐγὼ καὶ ζῶν τὸ ὄνομά μου καὶ ἐμπλήσει ἡ δόξα Κυρίου πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν,
22But yet all the men that have seen my majesty, and the signs that I have done in Egypt, and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now ten times, and have not obeyed my voice,
22ὅτι πάντες οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ ὁρῶντες τὴν δόξαν μου καὶ τὰ σημεῖα, ἃ ἐποίησα ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ καὶ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, καὶ ἐπείρασάν με τοῦτο δέκατον, καὶ οὐκ εἰσήκουσαν τῆς φωνῆς μου,
23Shall not see the land for which I aware to their fathers, neither shall any one of them that hath detracted me behold it.
23ᾖ μὴν οὐκ ὄψονται τὴν γῆν, ἣν ὤμοσα τοῖς πατράσιν αὐτῶν, ἀλλ' ἢ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῶν, ἅ ἐστι μετ' ἐμοῦ ὧδε, ὅσοι οὐκ οἴδασιν ἀγαθὸν οὐδὲ κακόν, πᾶς νεώτερος ἄπειρος, τούτοις δώσω τὴν γῆν, πάντες δὲ οἱ παροξύναντές με οὐκ ὄψονται αὐτήν.
24My servant Caleb, who being full of another spirit hath followed me, I will bring into this land which he hath gone round: and his seed shall possess it.
24ὁ δὲ παῖς μου Χάλεβ, ὅτι πνεῦμα ἕτερον ἐν αὐτῷ καὶ ἐπηκολούθησέ μοι, εἰσάξω αὐτὸν εἰς τὴν γῆν, εἰς ἣν εἰσῆλθεν ἐκεῖ, καὶ τὸ σπέρμα αὐτοῦ κληρονομήσει αὐτήν.
25For the Amalecite and the Chanaanite dwell in the valleys. Tomorrow remove the camp, and return into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea.
25ὁ δὲ Ἀμαλὴκ καὶ ὁ Χαναναῖος κατοικοῦσιν ἐν τῇ κοιλάδι· αὔριον ἐπιστράφητε καὶ ἀπάρατε ὑμεῖς εἰς τὴν ἔρημον, ὁδὸν θάλασσαν ἐρυθράν.
26And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
26Καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν καὶ Ἀαρὼν λέγων·
27How long doth this wicked multitude murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel.
27ἕως τίνος τὴν συναγωγὴν τὴν πονηρὰν ταύτην; ἃ αὐτοὶ γογγύζουσιν ἐναντίον μου, τὴν γόγγυσιν τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ, ἣν ἐγόγγυσαν περὶ ὑμῶν, ἀκήκοα.
28Say therefore to them: As I live, saith the Lord: According as you have spoken in my hearing, so will I do to you.
28εἰπὸν αὐτοῖς· ζῶ ἐγώ, λέγει Κύριος, ᾖ μὴν ὃν τρόπον λελαλήκατε εἰς τὰ ὦτά μου, οὕτω ποιήσω ὑμῖν.
29In the wilderness shall your carcasses lie. All you that were numbered from twenty years old and upward, and have murmured against me,
29ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ ταύτῃ πεσεῖται τὰ κῶλα ὑμῶν, καὶ πᾶσα ἡ ἐπισκοπὴ ὑμῶν καὶ οἱ κατηριθμημένοι ὑμῶν ἀπὸ εἰκοσαετοῦς καὶ ἐπάνω, ὅσοι ἐγόγγυζον ἐπ' ἐμοί·
30Shall not enter into the land, over which I lifted up my bend to make you dwell therein, except Caleb the son of Jephone, and Josue the son of Nun.
30εἰ ὑμεῖς εἰσελεύσεσθε εἰς τὴν γῆν, ἐφ' ἣν ἐξέτεινα τὴν χεῖρά μου κατασκηνῶσαι ὑμᾶς ἐπ' αὐτῆς, ἀλλ' ἢ Χάλεβ υἱὸς Ἰεφοννὴ καὶ Ἰησοῦς ὁ τοῦ Ναυή·
31But your children, of whom you said, that they should be a prey to the enemies, will I bring in: that they may see the land which you have despised.
31καὶ τὰ παιδία, ἃ εἴπατε ἐν διαρπαγῇ ἔσεσθαι, εἰσάξω αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν γῆν, καὶ κληρονομήσουσι τὴν γῆν, ἣν ὑμεῖς ἀπέστητε ἀπ' αὐτῆς.
32Your carcasses shall lie in the wilderness.
32καὶ τὰ κῶλα ὑμῶν πεσεῖται ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ ταύτῃ,
33Your children shall wander in the desert forty years, and shall bear your fornication, until the carcasses of their fathers be consumed ill the desert,
33οἱ δὲ υἱοὶ ὑμῶν ἔσονται νεμόμενοι ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ τεσσαράκοντα ἔτη καὶ ἀνοίσουσι τὴν πορνείαν ὑμῶν, ἕως ἂν ἀναλωθῇ τὰ κῶλα ὑμῶν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ,
34According to the number of the forty days, wherein you viewed the land: year shall be counted for a day. And forty years you shall receive your iniquities, and shall know my revenge:
34κατὰ τὸν ἀριθμὸν τῶν ἡμερῶν, ὅσας κατεσκέψασθε τὴν γῆν, τεσσαράκοντα ἡμέρας, ἡμέραν τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ, λήψεσθε τὰς ἁμαρτίας ὑμῶν τεσσαράκοντα ἔτη καὶ γνώσεσθε τὸν θυμὸν τῆς ὀργῆς μου.
35For as I have spoken, so will I do to all this wicked multitude, that hath risen up together against me: in this wilderness shall it faint away and die.
35ἐγὼ Κύριος ἐλάλησα· ᾖ μὴν οὕτω ποιήσω τῇ συναγωγῇ τῇ πονηρᾷ ταύτῃ τῇ ἐπισυνισταμένῃ ἐπ' ἐμέ· ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ ταύτῃ ἐξαναλωθήσονται καὶ ἐκεῖ ἀποθανοῦνται.
36Therefore all the men, whom Moses had sent to view the land, and who at their return had made the whole multitude to murmur against him, speaking ill of the land that it was naught,
36καὶ οἱ ἄνθρωποι, οὓς ἀπέστειλε Μωυσῆς κατασκέψασθαι τὴν γῆν καὶ παραγενηθέντες διεγόγγυσαν κατ' αὐτῆς πρὸς τὴν συναγωγὴν ἐξενέγκαι ρήματα πονηρὰ περὶ τῆς γῆς,
37Died and were struck in the sight of the Lord.
37καὶ ἀπέθανον οἱ ἄνθρωποι οἱ κατείπαντες πονηρὰ κατὰ τῆς γῆς ἐν τῇ πληγῇ ἔναντι Κυρίου
38But Josue. the son of Nun. and Caleb the son of Jephone lived, of all them that had gone to view the land.
38καὶ Ἰησοῦς υἱὸς Ναυή, καὶ Χάλεβ υἱὸς Ἰεφοννὴ ἔζησαν ἀπὸ τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἐκείνων τῶν πεπορευμένων κατασκέψασθαι τὴν γῆν.
39And Moses spoke all these words to all the children of Israel, and the people mourned exceedingly.
39Καὶ ἐλάλησε Μωυσῆς τὰ ρήματα ταῦτα πρὸς πάντας υἱοὺς Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἐπένθησεν ὁ λαὸς σφόδρα.
40And behold rising up very early in the morning, they went up to the top of the mountain, and said: We are ready to go up to the place, of which the Lord hath spoken: for we have sinned.
40καὶ ὀρθρίσαντες τὸ πρωΐ ἀνέβησαν εἰς τὴν κορυφὴν τοῦ ὄρους λέγοντες· ἰδοὺ οἵδε ἡμεῖς ἀναβησόμεθα εἰς τὸν τόπον, ὃν εἶπε Κύριος, ὅτι ἡμάρτομεν.
41And Moses said to them: Why transgress you the word of the Lord, which shall not succeed prosperously with you?
41καὶ εἶπε Μωυσῆς· ἱνατί ὑμεῖς παραβαίνετε τὸ ρῆμα Κυρίου; οὐκ εὔοδα ἔσται ὑμῖν.
42Go not up, for the Lord is not with you: lest you fall before your enemies.
42μὴ ἀναβαίνετε· οὐ γάρ ἐστι Κύριος μεθ' ὑμῶν, καὶ πεσεῖσθε πρὸ προσώπου τῶν ἐχθρῶν ὑμῶν.
43The Amalecite and the Chanaanite are before you, and by their sword you shall fall, because you would not consent to the Lord, neither will the Lord be with you.
43ὅτι ὁ Ἀμαλὴκ καὶ ὁ Χαναναῖος ἐκεῖ ἔμπροσθεν ὑμῶν, καὶ πεσεῖσθε μαχαίρᾳ, οὗ εἵνεκεν ἀπεστράφητε ἀπειθοῦντες Κυρίῳ, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται Κύριος ἐν ὑμῖν.
44But they being blinded went up to the top of the mountain. But the ark of the testament of the Lord and Moses departed not from the camp.
44καὶ διαβιασάμενοι ἀνέβησαν ἐπὶ τὴν κορυφὴν τοῦ ὄρους· ἡ δὲ κιβωτὸς τῆς διαθήκης Κυρίου καὶ Μωυσῆς οὐκ ἐκινήθησαν ἐκ τῆς παρεμβολῆς.
45And the Amalecite came down, and the Chanaanite that dwelt in the mountain: and smiting and slaying them pursued them as far as Horma.
45καὶ κατέβη ὁ Ἀμαλὴκ καὶ ὁ Χαναναῖος ὁ ἐγκαθήμενος ἐν τῷ ὄρει ἐκείνῳ καὶ ἐτρέψαντο αὐτοὺς καὶ κατέκοψαν αὐτοὺς ἕως Ἑρμάν· καὶ ἀπεστράφησαν εἰς τὴν παρεμβολήν.
