Nagrebelde ang mga Israelinhon

14 Sadto mismo nga gab-i naghinibi sing tudo ang bug-os nga katilingban. Nagreklamo sila kay Moises kag kay Aaron. Siling nila, “Maayo pa nga nagkalamatay na lang kita sa Egipto ukon diri sa kamingawan. Ngaa bala nga dal-on pa kita sang Ginoo sa sina nga duta? Para lang bala magkalamatay kita sa inaway kag magkalabihag ang aton mga asawa kag mga kabataan? Maayo pa siguro mabalik na lang kita sa Egipto.” Kag naghambalanay sila sa isa kag isa, “Mapili kita sang pangulo kag magbalik sa Egipto!”

Dayon nagluhod si Moises kag si Aaron sa atubangan sang bug-os nga katilingban sang Israel nga nagtilipon didto. Gin-gisi ni Josue nga anak ni Nun kag ni Caleb nga anak ni Jefune ang ila mga bayo sa kasubo. Ini sila nga duha nag-upod sa pagpang-espiya sa duta. Nagsiling sila sa bug-os nga katilingban, “Maayo gid katama ang duta nga amon ginkadtuan. Kon nalipay ang Ginoo sa aton, tuytuyan niya kita pakadto sa sina nga duta—ang maayo kag mapatubason nga duta,[a] kag ihatag niya ini sa aton. Indi lang kamo magrebelde sa Ginoo. Kag indi kamo magkahadlok sa mga tawo didto kay mapierdi gid naton sila. Wala sing may magbulig sa ila, pero ang Ginoo amo ang magabulig sa aton. Gani indi kamo magkahadlok sa ila.”

10 Batuhon kuntani sila sang bug-os nga katilingban, pero gulpi lang nga nagpakita sa ila ang gamhanan nga presensya sang Ginoo sa Tolda nga Ginapakigkitaan. 11 Nagsiling ang Ginoo kay Moises, “Hasta san-o pa bala ang pagsikway sining mga tawo sa akon? Hasta san-o pa bala sila nga indi magtuo sa akon sa pihak sang tanan nga milagro nga ginpanghimo ko sa ila? 12 Padal-an ko ining mga Israelinhon sang kalalat-an kag laglagon ko sila, pero ikaw iya himuon ko nga isa ka nasyon nga mas gamhanan kag mas mabakod sang sa ila.” 13 Nagsiling si Moises sa Ginoo, “Ano na lang ang isiling sang mga Egiptohanon kon mabalitaan nila ini? Indi bala nga nahibaluan nila nga ginkuha mo ang mga Israelinhon sa ila paagi sa imo gahom? 14 Kon laglagon mo ang imo katawhan, isugid ini sang mga Egiptohanon sa mga pumuluyo sang Canaan. Ini nga mga Canaanhon nakabati na nga ikaw, Ginoo, nagaupod sa mga Israelinhon kag nagpakita sa ila paagi sa panganod nga nagatuytoy sa ila. Ginapangunahan mo sila kon adlaw paagi sa panganod nga daw haligi, kag kon gab-i paagi sa kalayo nga daw haligi man. 15 Karon, kon pamatyon mo ining katawhan sa isa lang ka tion, ang mga nasyon nga nakabati parte sa imo pagkabantog magasiling, 16 ‘Indi masarangan sang Ginoo nga dal-on ang mga Israelinhon sa duta nga iya ginpromisa sa ila, gani ginpamatay na lang niya sila sa kamingawan.’

17 “Gani karon, O Ginoo, kabay pa nga ipakita mo ang imo gahom suno sa imo ginasiling nga 18 mahigugmaon ka kag indi dali maakig, kag mapinatawaron sa mga sala kag paglapas sang tawo. Pero ginasilutan mo ang mga nakasala hasta sa ila ikatatlo kag ikaapat nga henerasyon. 19 Suno sa imo dako nga gugma, patawara ang sala sang sini nga mga tawo, subong sang pagpatawad mo sa ila halin sang pagguwa nila sa Egipto.”

20 Nagsabat ang Ginoo, “Patawaron ko sila suno sa imo ginpangayo. 21 Pero nagasumpa ako, ang buhi nga Ginoo, nga samtang napun-an ang bug-os nga kalibutan sang akon gamhanan nga presensya, 22-23 wala sing bisan isa sa ila nga makasulod sa duta nga ginpromisa ko sa ila mga katigulangan. Kay bisan nakita nila ang akon gamhanan nga presensya kag ang mga milagro nga ginpanghimo ko sa Egipto kag sa kamingawan, permi gihapon nila ako ginatestingan kag wala sila nagatuman sa akon. Gani ang mga nagasikway sa akon indi gid makasulod sa sina nga duta. 24 Pero si Caleb nga akon alagad pasudlon ko sa duta nga iya gintan-aw tungod kay lain ang iya batasan sang sa iban kag nagasunod siya sa akon sing tinagipusuon. Ang iya mga kaliwat magaestar man sa sina nga duta. 25 Karon indi anay kamo magderetso tungod kay may mga Canaanhon kag mga Amaleknon nga nagaestar sa tunga sang mga bukid, kundi magbalik kamo buwas sa kamingawan, pakadto sa dalan nga padulong sa Mapula nga Dagat.”

26 Nagsiling ang Ginoo kay Moises kag kay Aaron, 27 “Hasta san-o pa bala ang pagreklamo sining malaot nga katilingban sa akon? Nabatian ko ang mga reklamo sining mga reklamador nga mga Israelinhon. 28 Gani ihambal ini sa ila: ‘Nagasumpa ako, ang buhi nga Ginoo, nga himuon ko sa inyo ang ginsiling ninyo.[b] 29 Magakalamatay kamo diri sa kamingawan. Tungod nga nagreklamo kamo sa akon, wala sing bisan isa sa inyo nga nagaedad sing 20 ka tuig paibabaw 30 nga makasulod sa duta nga akon ginsumpa nga ihatag kuntani sa inyo nga inyo estaran, luwas lang kay Caleb nga anak ni Jefune kag kay Josue nga anak ni Nun. 31 Kon parte sa inyo mga kabataan nga siling ninyo pagabihagon, dal-on ko sila sa duta nga inyo ginsikway kag mangin ila ini. 32 Pero kamo iya magakalamatay diri sa kamingawan. 33 Ang inyo mga kabataan mangin pareho sa mga manugbantay sang karnero nga magalibot-libot diri sa kamingawan sa sulod sang 40 ka tuig. Sa sini nga paagi, magaantos sila tungod sang inyo pagluib sa akon hasta nga mapatay kamo tanan. 34 Subong nga ang mga tawo nga nagpang-espiya sa duta nagtiner didto sing 40 ka adlaw, magaantos man kamo sing 40 ka tuig tungod sang inyo sala, agod mahibaluan ninyo kon paano ako maakig sa mga nagakontra sa akon. 35 Ako, ang Ginoo, ang nagasiling sini kag sigurado gid nga himuon ko ini nga mga butang sa sining malaot nga katilingban nga nag-isa sa pagkontra sa akon. Mapatay sila tanan diri sa kamingawan.’ ”

36-37 Ang mga tawo nga ginsugo ni Moises sa pagpang-espiya, nga nagpanugid sang malain nga balita parte sa duta kag nangin kabangdanan sang pagreklamo sang mga Israelinhon, nagkalamatay sa balatian sa presensya sang Ginoo. 38 Sa dose sa ila nga nagpang-espiya, si Josue nga anak ni Nun kag si Caleb nga anak ni Jefune lang ang wala mapatay.

Napierdi ang mga Israelinhon sa Ila nga Pagsalakay sa Canaan(A)

39 Sang ginsugid ni Moises ang ginsiling sang Ginoo sa tanan nga Israelinhon, nagpangasubo gid sila. 40 Kag sang madason nga adlaw, aga pa gid sila nagbangon agod magtaklad sa kabukiran sang Canaan. Nagsiling sila, “Nareyalisar namon nga nakasala kami, kag karon handa na kami sa pagkadto sa lugar nga ginpromisa sang Ginoo.”

41 Pero nagsiling si Moises, “Ngaa nga ginalapas ninyo ang sugo sang Ginoo nga magbalik kamo anay sa kamingawan? Indi gid kamo magmadinalag-on! 42 Indi kamo maglakat, kay ang Ginoo wala nagaupod sa inyo, kag mapierdi lang kamo sa inyo mga kaaway. 43 Sa tion nga magpakig-away sa inyo ang mga Canaanhon kag ang mga Amaleknon, magakalamatay kamo; indi mag-upod sa inyo ang Ginoo tungod kay ginsikway ninyo siya.”

44 Pero naglakat gid sila sa kabukiran sang Canaan bisan wala nag-upod sa ila si Moises kag ang Kahon sang Kasugtanan sang Ginoo. 45 Dayon ginsalakay sila sang mga Amaleknon kag sang mga Canaanhon nga nagaestar didto sa kabukiran, kag napierdi sila, kag ginlagas pa sila hasta sa Horma.

The People Rebel

14 That night all the members of the community raised their voices and wept aloud.(A) All the Israelites grumbled(B) against Moses and Aaron, and the whole assembly said to them, “If only we had died in Egypt!(C) Or in this wilderness!(D) Why is the Lord bringing us to this land only to let us fall by the sword?(E) Our wives and children(F) will be taken as plunder.(G) Wouldn’t it be better for us to go back to Egypt?(H) And they said to each other, “We should choose a leader and go back to Egypt.(I)

Then Moses and Aaron fell facedown(J) in front of the whole Israelite assembly(K) gathered there. Joshua son of Nun(L) and Caleb son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had explored the land, tore their clothes(M) and said to the entire Israelite assembly, “The land we passed through and explored is exceedingly good.(N) If the Lord is pleased with us,(O) he will lead us into that land, a land flowing with milk and honey,(P) and will give it to us.(Q) Only do not rebel(R) against the Lord. And do not be afraid(S) of the people of the land,(T) because we will devour them. Their protection is gone, but the Lord is with(U) us.(V) Do not be afraid of them.”(W)

10 But the whole assembly talked about stoning(X) them. Then the glory of the Lord(Y) appeared at the tent of meeting to all the Israelites. 11 The Lord said to Moses, “How long will these people treat me with contempt?(Z) How long will they refuse to believe in me,(AA) in spite of all the signs(AB) I have performed among them? 12 I will strike them down with a plague(AC) and destroy them, but I will make you into a nation(AD) greater and stronger than they.”(AE)

13 Moses said to the Lord, “Then the Egyptians will hear about it! By your power you brought these people up from among them.(AF) 14 And they will tell the inhabitants of this land about it. They have already heard(AG) that you, Lord, are with these people(AH) and that you, Lord, have been seen face to face,(AI) that your cloud stays over them,(AJ) and that you go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night.(AK) 15 If you put all these people to death, leaving none alive, the nations who have heard this report about you will say, 16 ‘The Lord was not able to bring these people into the land he promised them on oath,(AL) so he slaughtered them in the wilderness.’(AM)

17 “Now may the Lord’s strength be displayed, just as you have declared: 18 ‘The Lord is slow to anger, abounding in love and forgiving sin and rebellion.(AN) Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation.’(AO) 19 In accordance with your great love, forgive(AP) the sin of these people,(AQ) just as you have pardoned them from the time they left Egypt until now.”(AR)

20 The Lord replied, “I have forgiven them,(AS) as you asked. 21 Nevertheless, as surely as I live(AT) and as surely as the glory of the Lord(AU) fills the whole earth,(AV) 22 not one of those who saw my glory and the signs(AW) I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness but who disobeyed me and tested me ten times(AX) 23 not one of them will ever see the land I promised on oath(AY) to their ancestors. No one who has treated me with contempt(AZ) will ever see it.(BA) 24 But because my servant Caleb(BB) has a different spirit and follows me wholeheartedly,(BC) I will bring him into the land he went to, and his descendants will inherit it.(BD) 25 Since the Amalekites(BE) and the Canaanites(BF) are living in the valleys, turn(BG) back tomorrow and set out toward the desert along the route to the Red Sea.[a](BH)

26 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron: 27 “How long will this wicked community grumble against me? I have heard the complaints of these grumbling Israelites.(BI) 28 So tell them, ‘As surely as I live,(BJ) declares the Lord, I will do to you(BK) the very thing I heard you say: 29 In this wilderness your bodies will fall(BL)—every one of you twenty years old or more(BM) who was counted in the census(BN) and who has grumbled against me. 30 Not one of you will enter the land(BO) I swore with uplifted hand(BP) to make your home, except Caleb son of Jephunneh(BQ) and Joshua son of Nun.(BR) 31 As for your children that you said would be taken as plunder, I will bring them in to enjoy the land you have rejected.(BS) 32 But as for you, your bodies will fall(BT) in this wilderness. 33 Your children will be shepherds here for forty years,(BU) suffering for your unfaithfulness, until the last of your bodies lies in the wilderness. 34 For forty years(BV)—one year for each of the forty days you explored the land(BW)—you will suffer for your sins and know what it is like to have me against you.’ 35 I, the Lord, have spoken, and I will surely do these things(BX) to this whole wicked community, which has banded together against me. They will meet their end in this wilderness; here they will die.(BY)

36 So the men Moses had sent(BZ) to explore the land, who returned and made the whole community grumble(CA) against him by spreading a bad report(CB) about it— 37 these men who were responsible for spreading the bad report(CC) about the land were struck down and died of a plague(CD) before the Lord. 38 Of the men who went to explore the land,(CE) only Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh survived.(CF)

39 When Moses reported this(CG) to all the Israelites, they mourned(CH) bitterly. 40 Early the next morning they set out for the highest point in the hill country,(CI) saying, “Now we are ready to go up to the land the Lord promised. Surely we have sinned!(CJ)

41 But Moses said, “Why are you disobeying the Lord’s command? This will not succeed!(CK) 42 Do not go up, because the Lord is not with you. You will be defeated by your enemies,(CL) 43 for the Amalekites(CM) and the Canaanites(CN) will face you there. Because you have turned away from the Lord, he will not be with you(CO) and you will fall by the sword.”

44 Nevertheless, in their presumption they went up(CP) toward the highest point in the hill country, though neither Moses nor the ark of the Lord’s covenant moved from the camp.(CQ) 45 Then the Amalekites and the Canaanites(CR) who lived in that hill country(CS) came down and attacked them and beat them down all the way to Hormah.(CT)

  1. Numbers 14:25 Or the Sea of Reeds

14 And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.

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!

And 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?

And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.

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

And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes:

And 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.

If 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.

Only 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.

10 But 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.

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?

12 I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.

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;)

14 And 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.

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,

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.

17 And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying,

18 The 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.

19 Pardon, 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.

20 And the Lord said, I have pardoned according to thy word:

21 But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord.

22 Because 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;

23 Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:

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.

25 (Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.) Tomorrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.

26 And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

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.

28 Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the Lord, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:

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.

30 Doubtless 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.

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 despised.

32 But as for you, your carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness.

33 And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness.

34 After 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.

35 I 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.

36 And 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,

37 Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died by the plague before the Lord.

38 But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of the men that went to search the land, lived still.

39 And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly.

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.

41 And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of the Lord? but it shall not prosper.

42 Go not up, for the Lord is not among you; that ye be not smitten before your enemies.

43 For 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.

44 But 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.

45 Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which dwelt in that hill, and smote them, and discomfited them, even unto Hormah.
