Mga Bunga ng Pagsuway kay Yahweh
9 “Pakinggan ninyo, O Israel: Ngayong araw na ito, tatawid kayo ng Jordan upang sakupin ang mga bansang makapangyarihan kaysa inyo at ang mga lunsod na napapaligiran ng matataas na pader. 2 Malalaki at matataas ang mga tagaroon, mga higante. Hindi kaila sa inyo ang kasabihang: ‘Walang makakalupig sa angkan ng higante.’ 3 Subalit pakatatandaan ninyo na ang Diyos ninyong si Yahweh ang nangunguna sa inyo tulad ng isang malakas na apoy. Sila'y kanyang gagapiin upang madali ninyo silang maitataboy gaya ng sinabi ni Yahweh.
4 “Kung sila'y maitaboy na ni Yahweh alang-alang sa inyo, huwag ninyong iisipin na sila'y itinaboy dahil sa kayo'y matuwid. Ang totoo'y itinaboy sila ni Yahweh dahil sa kanilang kasamaan 5 at hindi dahil sa kayo'y matuwid kaya mapapasa-inyo ang lupaing iyon. Itataboy sila ni Yahweh dahil sa kanilang kasamaan, at bilang pagtupad pa rin sa pangako niya sa mga ninuno ninyong sina Abraham, Isaac at Jacob.
Naghimagsik ang Israel nang Sila'y nasa Sinai
6 “Kaya nga't pakatatandaan ninyo na ibinibigay ni Yahweh ang lupaing ito hindi dahil sa kayo'y matuwid; ang totoo'y lahi kayo ng matitigas ang ulo. 7 Huwag ninyong kalilimutan kung bakit nagalit sa inyo si Yahweh nang kayo'y nasa ilang. Mula nang umalis kayo sa Egipto hanggang ngayon, wala na kayong ginawa kundi magreklamo. 8 Noong kayo'y nasa Sinai,[a] ginalit ninyo nang labis si Yahweh at pupuksain na sana niya kayo noon. 9 Nang(A) ako'y umakyat sa bundok at ibigay niya sa akin ang mga tapyas ng batong kinasusulatan ng kanyang kasunduan sa inyo, nanatili ako roon sa loob ng apatnapung araw at gabi. Hindi ako kumain ni uminom. 10 Ibinigay niya sa akin ang dalawang tapyas ng batong sinulatan niya ng lahat ng kanyang sinabi sa inyo mula sa naglalagablab na apoy nang kayo'y nagkakatipon sa may paanan ng bundok. 11 Pagkalipas ng apatnapung araw at gabing pananatili ko sa bundok, ibinigay niya sa akin ang nasabing mga tapyas ng bato.
12 “Sinabi ni Yahweh sa akin, ‘Tumayo ka at puntahan mo agad ang mga taong pinangunahan mo sa paglabas sa Egipto. Sila'y nagpapakasama na. Lumihis sila sa daang itinuro ko sa kanila. Gumawa sila ng imahen at iyon ang sinasamba nila.’
13 “Sinabi pa sa akin ni Yahweh, ‘Talagang matigas ang ulo ng mga taong ito. 14 Hayaan mo akong lipulin sila para mabura na ang alaala nila dito sa lupa, at sa iyo na magmumula ang isang bagong bansa na mas malaki at makapangyarihan kaysa kanila.’
15 “Kaya bumabâ ako mula sa nagliliyab na bundok, dala ang dalawang tapyas ng bato na kinasusulatan ng kasunduan. 16 Nakita ko ang pagkakasalang ginawa ninyo laban kay Yahweh. Gumawa kayo ng guyang ginto, at lumihis sa daang itinuro niya sa inyo. 17 Dahil dito, ibinagsak ko sa lupa ang dalawang tapyas ng batong dala ko, at nagkadurug-durog iyon sa harapan ninyo. 18 Pagkatapos, nagpatirapa ako sa harapan ni Yahweh, at sa loob ng apatnapung araw at gabi hindi ako kumain ni uminom dahil sa mga kasalanan ninyo na labis na ikinagalit ni Yahweh. 19 Natakot(B) ako na baka sa tindi ng galit niya'y puksain kayo. Mabuti na lamang at pinakinggan niya ako. 20 Galit na galit din siya kay Aaron, at ibig na rin niya itong patayin, kaya nanalangin ako para sa kanya. 21 Pagkatapos, kinuha ko ang guyang ginawa ninyo. Sinunog ko ito at dinurog na parang alabok saka ko ibinuhos sa batis na nagmumula sa bundok.
22 “Muli(C) ninyong ginalit si Yahweh nang kayo'y nasa Tabera, Masah, at Kibrot-hataava. 23 Nang(D) kayo'y pinapapunta na niya mula sa Kades-barnea upang sakupin ang lupaing ibinigay niya sa inyo, naghimagsik na naman kayo. Hindi ninyo siya pinaniwalaan ni pinakinggan man. 24 Simula nang makilala ko kayo ay lagi na lamang kayong naghihimagsik laban kay Yahweh.
25 “Nagpatirapa muli ako sa harapan ni Yahweh sa loob ng apatnapung araw at gabi sapagkat nais na niya kayong puksain. 26 Ito ang dalangin ko sa kanya: ‘Panginoong Yahweh, huwag po ninyong pupuksain ang bayang iniligtas ninyo at inilabas sa Egipto sa pamamagitan ng inyong walang kapantay na kapangyarihan. 27 Alalahanin po ninyo ang mga lingkod ninyong sina Abraham, Isaac at Jacob. Huwag na ninyong pansinin ang katigasan ng ulo ng sambayanang ito ni ang kanilang kasamaan o kasalanan sa inyo. 28 Kapag sila'y pinuksa ninyo, sasabihin ng mga taong ipapasakop ninyo sa kanila na ang mga Israelita'y dinala ninyo sa ilang upang puksain; hindi ninyo sila maihatid sa lupaing ipinangako ninyo, sapagkat matindi ang galit ninyo sa kanila. 29 Sila ang inyong bayang hinirang, ang bayang inilabas ninyo sa Egipto sa pamamagitan ng inyong dakilang kapangyarihan.’

Deuteronomy 9
New King James Version
Israel’s Rebellions Reviewed(A)
9 “Hear, O Israel: You are to cross over the Jordan today, and go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourself, cities great and fortified up to heaven, 2 a people great and tall, the (B)descendants of the Anakim, whom you know, and of whom you heard it said, ‘Who can stand before the descendants of Anak?’ 3 Therefore understand today that the Lord your God is He who (C)goes over before you as a (D)consuming fire. (E)He will destroy them and bring them down before you; (F)so you shall drive them out and destroy them quickly, as the Lord has said to you.
4 (G)“Do not think in your heart, after the Lord your God has cast them out before you, saying, ‘Because of my righteousness the Lord has brought me in to possess this land’; but it is (H)because of the wickedness of these nations that the Lord is driving them out from before you. 5 (I)It is not because of your righteousness or the uprightness of your heart that you go in to possess their land, but because of the wickedness of these nations that the Lord your God drives them out from before you, and that He may [a]fulfill the (J)word which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 6 Therefore understand that the Lord your God is not giving you this good land to possess because of your righteousness, for you are a (K)stiff-necked[b] people.
7 “Remember! Do not forget how you (L)provoked the Lord your God to wrath in the wilderness. (M)From the day that you departed from the land of Egypt until you came to this place, you have been rebellious against the Lord. 8 Also (N)in Horeb you provoked the Lord to wrath, so that the Lord was angry enough with you to have destroyed you. 9 (O)When I went up into the mountain to receive the tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant which the Lord made with you, then I stayed on the mountain forty days and (P)forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water. 10 (Q)Then the Lord delivered to me two tablets of stone written with the finger of God, and on them were all the words which the Lord had spoken to you on the mountain from the midst of the fire (R)in[c] the day of the assembly. 11 And it came to pass, at the end of forty days and forty nights, that the Lord gave me the two tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant.
12 “Then the Lord said to me, (S)‘Arise, go down quickly from here, for your people whom you brought out of Egypt have acted corruptly; they have (T)quickly turned aside from the way which I commanded them; they have made themselves a molded image.’
13 “Furthermore (U)the Lord spoke to me, saying, ‘I have seen this people, and indeed (V)they are a [d]stiff-necked people. 14 (W)Let Me alone, that I may destroy them and (X)blot out their name from under heaven; (Y)and I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.’
15 (Z)“So I turned and came down from the mountain, and (AA)the mountain burned with fire; and the two tablets of the covenant were in my two hands. 16 And (AB)I looked, and behold, you had sinned against the Lord your God—had made for yourselves a molded calf! You had turned aside quickly from the way which the Lord had commanded you. 17 Then I took the two tablets and threw them out of my two hands and (AC)broke them before your eyes. 18 And I (AD)fell[e] down before the Lord, as at the first, forty days and forty nights; I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all your sin which you committed in doing wickedly in the sight of the Lord, to provoke Him to anger. 19 (AE)For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure with which the Lord was angry with you, to destroy you. (AF)But the Lord listened to me at that time also. 20 And the Lord was very angry with Aaron and would have destroyed him; so I prayed for Aaron also at the same time. 21 Then I took your sin, the calf which you had made, and burned it with fire and crushed it and ground it very small, until it was as fine as dust; and I (AG)threw its dust into the brook that descended from the mountain.
22 “Also at (AH)Taberah and (AI)Massah and (AJ)Kibroth Hattaavah you [f]provoked the Lord to wrath. 23 Likewise, (AK)when the Lord sent you from Kadesh Barnea, saying, ‘Go up and possess the land which I have given you,’ then you rebelled against the commandment of the Lord your God, and (AL)you did not believe Him nor obey His voice. 24 (AM)You have been rebellious against the Lord from the day that I knew you.
25 (AN)“Thus I [g]prostrated myself before the Lord; forty days and forty nights I kept prostrating myself, because the Lord had said He would destroy you. 26 Therefore I prayed to the Lord, and said: ‘O Lord God, do not destroy Your people and (AO)Your inheritance whom You have redeemed through Your greatness, whom You have brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand. 27 Remember Your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; do not look on the stubbornness of this people, or on their wickedness or their sin, 28 lest the land from which You brought us should say, “Because the Lord was not able to bring them to the land which He promised them, and because He hated them, He has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness.” 29 Yet they are Your people and Your inheritance, whom You brought out by Your mighty power and by Your outstretched arm.’
