King James Version with Apocrypha
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.
1Igitur vociferans omnis turba flevit nocte illa,
2And 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!
2et murmurati sunt contra Moysen et Aaron cuncti filii Israël, dicentes:
3And wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt?
3Utinam 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?
4And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.
4Dixeruntque alter ad alterum: Constituamus nobis ducem, et revertamur in Ægyptum.
5Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.
5Quo audito, Moyses et Aaron ceciderunt proni in terram coram omni multitudine filiorum Israël.
6¶ And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes:
6At vero Josue filius Nun et Caleb filius Jephone, qui et ipsi lustraverant terram, sciderunt vestimenta sua,
7And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land.
7et ad omnem multitudinem filiorum Israël locuti sunt: Terra, quam circuivimus, valde bona est.
8If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey.
8Si propitius fuerit Dominus, inducet nos in eam, et tradet humum lacte et melle manantem.
9Only rebel not ye against the LORD , neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not.
9Nolite rebelles esse contra Dominum: neque timeatis populum terræ hujus, quia sicut panem ita eos possumus devorare. Recessit ab eis omne præsidium: Dominus nobiscum est, nolite metuere.
10But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And the glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before all the children of Israel.
10Cumque clamaret omnis multitudo, et lapidibus eos vellet opprimere, apparuit gloria Domini super tectum fœderis cunctis filiis Israël.
11¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have shewed among them?
11Et dixit Dominus ad Moysen: Usquequo detrahet mihi populus iste? quousque non credent mihi, in omnibus signis quæ feci coram eis?
12I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.
12Feriam 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;)
13Et ait Moyses ad Dominum: Ut audiant Ægyptii, de quorum medio eduxisti populum istum,
14And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they have heard that thou LORD art among this people, that thou LORD art seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.
14et habitatores terræ hujus, 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 all this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying,
15quod occideris tantam multitudinem quasi unum hominem, et dicant:
16Because 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.
16Non poterat introducere populum in terram pro qua juraverat: idcirco occidit eos in solitudine?
17And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my Lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying,
17Magnificetur ergo fortitudo Domini sicut jurasti, dicens:
18The LORD is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty , visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation .
18Dominus patiens et multæ misericordiæ, auferens iniquitatem et scelera, nullumque innoxium derelinquens, qui visitas peccata patrum in filios in tertiam et quartam generationem.
19Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.
19Dimitte, obsecro, peccatum populi hujus secundum magnitudinem misericordiæ tuæ, sicut propitius fuisti egredientibus de Ægypto usque ad locum istum.
20And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy word:
20Dixitque Dominus: Dimisi juxta verbum tuum.
21But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD .
21Vivo ego: et implebitur gloria Domini universa terra.
22Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;
22Attamen omnes homines qui viderunt majestatem meam, et signa quæ feci in Ægypto et in solitudine, et tentaverunt me jam per decem vices, nec obedierunt voci meæ,
23Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:
23non videbunt terram pro qua juravi patribus eorum, nec quisquam ex illis qui detraxit mihi, intuebitur eam.
24But 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.
24Servum meum Caleb, qui plenus alio spiritu secutus est me, inducam in terram hanc, quam circuivit; et semen ejus possidebit eam.
25(Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.) To morrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
25Quoniam 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,
26Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen et Aaron, dicens:
27How 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.
27Usquequo multitudo hæc pessima murmurat contra me? querelas filiorum Israël audivi.
28Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the LORD , as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:
28Dic ergo eis: Vivo ego, ait Dominus: sicut locuti estis audiente me, sic faciam vobis.
29Your 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,
29In solitudine hac jacebunt cadavera vestra. Omnes qui numerati estis a viginti annis et supra, et murmurastis contra me,
30Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
30non intrabitis terram, super quam levavi manum meam ut habitare vos facerem, præter Caleb filium Jephone, et Josue filium Nun.
31But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised.
31Parvulos autem vestros, de quibus dixistis quod prædæ hostibus forent, introducam, ut videant terram, quæ vobis displicuit.
32But as for you, your carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness.
32Vestra cadavera jacebunt in solitudine.
33And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness.
33Filii vestri erunt vagi in deserto annis quadraginta, et portabunt fornicationem vestram, donec consumantur cadavera patrum in deserto,
34After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.
34juxta numerum quadraginta dierum, quibus considerastis terram: annus pro die imputabitur. Et quadraginta annis recipietis iniquitates vestras, et scietis ultionem meam:
35I the LORD have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.
35quoniam sicut locutus sum, ita faciam omni multitudini huic pessimæ, quæ consurrexit adversum me: in solitudine hac deficiet, et morietur.
36And the men, which Moses sent to search the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up a slander upon the land,
36Igitur omnes viri, quos miserat Moyses ad contemplandam terram, et qui reversi murmurare fecerant contra eum omnem multitudinem, detrahentes terræ quod esset mala,
37Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died by the plague before the LORD .
37mortui sunt atque percussi in conspectu Domini.
38But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of the men that went to search the land, lived still .
38Josue autem filius Nun, et Caleb filius Jephone, vixerunt ex omnibus qui perrexerant ad considerandam terram.
39And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly.
39Locutusque est Moyses universa verba hæc ad omnes filios Israël, et luxit populus nimis.
40¶ And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up into 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.
40Et ecce mane primo surgentes ascenderunt verticem montis, atque dixerunt: Parati sumus ascendere ad locum, de quo Dominus locutus est: quia peccavimus.
41And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of the LORD ? but it shall not prosper.
41Quibus Moyses: Cur, inquit, transgredimini verbum Domini, quod vobis non cedet in prosperum?
42Go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that ye be not smitten before your enemies.
42nolite ascendere: non enim est Dominus vobiscum: ne corruatis coram inimicis vestris.
43For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away from the LORD , therefore the LORD will not be with you.
43Amalecites et Chananæus ante vos sunt, quorum gladio corruetis, eo quod nolueritis acquiescere Domino: nec erit Dominus vobiscum.
44But they presumed to go up unto the hill top: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the LORD , and Moses, departed not out of the camp.
44At illi contenebrati ascenderunt in verticem montis. Arca autem testamenti Domini et Moyses non recesserunt de castris.
45Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which dwelt in that hill, and smote them, and discomfited them, even unto Hormah.
45Descenditque Amalecites et Chananæus, qui habitabat in monte: et percutiens eos atque concidens, persecutus est eos usque Horma.
