民數記 14
Revised Chinese Union Version (Traditional Script) Shen Edition
以色列人抱怨
14 全會眾大聲喧嚷，那夜百姓哭號。 2 以色列眾人向摩西和亞倫發怨言，全會眾對他們說：「我們寧願死在埃及地，寧願死在這曠野！ 3 耶和華為甚麼要把我們領到那地，讓我們倒在刀下呢？我們的妻子和孩子必成為擄物。我們回埃及去豈不更好嗎？」 4 他們彼此說：「我們不如選一個領袖，回埃及去吧！」
5 摩西和亞倫在以色列全會眾面前臉伏於地。 6 窺探那地的人中，嫩的兒子約書亞和耶孚尼的兒子迦勒撕裂衣服， 7 對以色列全會眾說：「我們所走過、所窺探之地是極美之地。 8 耶和華若喜愛我們，就必領我們進入那地，把這流奶與蜜之地賜給我們。 9 但你們不可背叛耶和華，也不要怕那地的百姓，因為他們是我們的食物。保護他們的已經離開他們，耶和華卻與我們同在。不要怕他們！」 10 當全會眾正說着要拿石頭打死他們的時候，耶和華的榮光在會幕中向以色列眾人顯現。
摩西為以色列人禱告
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？ 12 我要用瘟疫擊殺他們，使他們不得承受那地。我要使你成為大國，比他們強大。」
13 摩西對耶和華說：「埃及人必聽見，因你曾施展大能，領這百姓從他們中間出來。 14 埃及人要告訴這地的居民，他們已經聽見你—耶和華是在這百姓中間，因為你—耶和華面對面[a]顯示自己，你的雲彩停在他們以上。你日間在雲柱中，夜間在火柱中，在他們的前面行。 15 你若把這百姓殺了，好像殺一個人那樣，那聽見你名聲的列國必說： 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。』 17 現在求主顯出大能，照你說過的話說：
18 『耶和華不輕易發怒，
且有豐盛的慈愛。
他赦免罪孽和過犯，
萬不以有罪的為無罪，
必懲罰人的罪，
從父到子，直到三、四代。』
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饒恕這百姓一樣。」
20 耶和華說：「我照着你的話赦免他們。 21 然而，我指着我的永生與遍地充滿了耶和華的榮耀起誓： 22 這些人雖然都看過我的榮耀和我在埃及與曠野所行的神蹟，仍然這十次試探我，不聽從我的話， 23 他們絕不能看見我向他們祖宗所起誓應許之地；凡藐視我的，一個也不得看見。 24 惟獨我的僕人迦勒，因他另有一個心志，專心跟從我，我要領他進入他所去過的那地；他的後裔必得那地為業。 25 亞瑪力人和迦南人住在谷中，明天你們要轉回去，沿着紅海[b]的路往曠野去。」
以色列人受懲罰
26 耶和華對摩西和亞倫說： 27 「這邪惡的會眾向我發怨言要到幾時呢？以色列人向我發的怨言，我都聽見了。 28 你要告訴他們，耶和華說：『我指着我的永生起誓，我必照你們在我耳中所說的待你們。 29 你們的屍體必倒在這曠野中。你們中間被數點，凡二十歲以上向我發怨言的， 30 必不得進我所起誓應許給你們居住的那地。惟有耶孚尼的兒子迦勒和嫩的兒子約書亞才能進去。 31 你們的孩子，就是你們說要成為擄物的，我必領他們進去，他們就得知你們所厭棄的那地。 32 至於你們，你們的屍體必倒在這曠野中； 33 你們的兒女必在曠野遊牧四十年，擔當你們不信的罪[c]，直到你們的屍體在曠野消滅為止。 34 按你們窺探那地的四十日，一年抵一日，你們要擔當你們的罪孽四十年，你們就知道我疏遠你們了。』 35 我—耶和華說過，我必這樣對待這一切聚集對抗我的邪惡會眾。他們必在這曠野中消滅，死在這裏。」
36 摩西所差派去窺探那地的人回來，散佈有關那地的謠言，使全會眾向摩西發怨言， 37 這些散佈謠言的人都遭受瘟疫，死在耶和華面前。 38 窺探那地的人中，惟有嫩的兒子約書亞和耶孚尼的兒子迦勒得以存活。
進攻迦南卻被擊退(A)
39 摩西把這些話告訴以色列眾人，他們都極其悲哀。 40 他們清晨起來，上到山頂，說：「看哪，我們要上到耶和華所說的地方；因為我們犯了罪。」 41 摩西說：「你們為何要這樣違背耶和華的指示呢？這事必不能順利。 42 不要上去，因為耶和華不在你們中間，恐怕你們在仇敵面前被擊敗。 43 亞瑪力人和迦南人都在你們面前，你們必倒在刀下。因為你們背離不跟從耶和華，耶和華必不與你們同在。」 44 他們卻擅自上到山頂。但耶和華的約櫃和摩西都沒有離開營地。 45 於是亞瑪力人和住在那山區的迦南人下來，擊敗他們，追擊他們直到何珥瑪。

以色列人發怨言
14 當晚，全體會眾放聲大哭，整夜哀號。 2 他們埋怨摩西和亞倫說：「我們還不如死在埃及或曠野！ 3 耶和華為什麼把我們領到這裡來，讓我們死於刀下？我們的妻兒必被擄去。我們還不如返回埃及。」 4 他們彼此議論說：「我們選一位首領帶我們回埃及吧！」
5 摩西和亞倫俯伏在以色列全體會眾面前。 6 打探迦南的人中，嫩的兒子約書亞和耶孚尼的兒子迦勒撕裂衣服， 7 對以色列全體會眾說：「我們去打探的地方是佳美之地。 8 如果耶和華喜悅我們，祂必把我們帶到那片土地，將那奶蜜之鄉賜給我們。 9 你們不要背叛耶和華，也不要害怕那裡的人，他們不過是我們的獵物，他們已失去庇護。耶和華與我們同在，不要怕他們。」 10 但全體會眾威脅要用石頭打死他們二人。這時耶和華的榮光在會幕中向以色列人顯現。
11 耶和華對摩西說：「這些人藐視我要到何時呢？我在他們中間行了這麼多神蹟，他們仍然不相信我。 12 我要用瘟疫毀滅他們，不讓他們承受那片土地。但我要使你成為大國，比他們更強盛。」 13 摩西對耶和華說：「你曾經用大能把以色列人從埃及領出來，埃及人聽說這事後， 14 一定會告訴迦南的居民。那裡的居民早已聽說你耶和華與以色列人同在，你面對面向他們顯現，你的雲彩停留在他們上面，你白天用雲柱、黑夜用火柱引導他們。 15 如果你把他們全部消滅，那些聽過你威名的列國就會議論說， 16 『耶和華無法把以色列人領到祂起誓要賜給他們的地方，所以在曠野把他們殺了。』 17 因此，求主彰顯偉大的權能，正如你所宣告的， 18 『耶和華不輕易發怒，充滿慈愛；祂赦免罪惡和過犯，但決不免除罪責，必向子孫追討父輩的罪債，直到三四代。』 19 從他們離開埃及直到現在，你一直在饒恕他們，求你以偉大的慈愛再次赦免這些人的罪。」
20 耶和華說：「我聽你的祈求，赦免他們。 21 但我憑我的永恆起誓，正如大地充滿我的榮耀一樣確實， 22-23 他們絕對看不到我起誓要賜給他們祖先的土地，藐視我的人都看不到那片土地。這些人見過我的榮耀，見過我在埃及和曠野所行的神蹟，卻仍然不聽我的話，試探我十次之多。 24 但我的僕人迦勒並非如此，他全心跟從我，所以我必帶他進入那片他去過的土地，讓他的子孫擁有那片產業。 25 由於亞瑪力人和迦南人住在山谷中，明天你們要轉回，沿紅海的路前往曠野。」
26 耶和華對摩西和亞倫說： 27 「這邪惡的會眾向我發怨言要到何時呢？我已聽見以色列人對我的埋怨。 28 你們去把我的話告訴他們，『以色列人啊，我憑我的永恆起誓，我必照你們所說的對待你們。 29 你們當中凡登記在冊、二十歲以上向我發怨言的人，必倒斃在這曠野中， 30 除耶孚尼的兒子迦勒和嫩的兒子約書亞之外，你們無人能進入我起誓應許的那片土地。 31 你們說你們的兒女會被擄去，但我要把他們帶到那裡，讓他們享有那片你們厭棄的土地。 32 而你們必死在這曠野。 33 你們的兒女要在曠野飄泊四十年，為你們的不忠而受苦，直到你們都死在曠野。 34 你們打探了那地方四十天，你們要為自己的罪受苦四十年，一年頂一天。那時，你們就知道與我為敵的後果。』 35 我耶和華已經說過。我必使你們這群與我為敵的惡人死在曠野，無一倖免。」
36 摩西派去打探迦南的人回來以後危言聳聽，以致會眾向摩西發怨言。 37 打探的人因而染上瘟疫，死在耶和華面前， 38 只有嫩的兒子約書亞和耶孚尼的兒子迦勒得以倖免。
39 摩西傳達完耶和華的話後，以色列人非常悲傷。 40 他們次日清早起來到山頂去，說：「我們知罪了，現在我們要去耶和華應許的地方。」 41 摩西說：「你們為什麼要違背耶和華的命令？你們不會成功的。 42 不要去！耶和華已經不在你們中間，你們會被敵人打敗。 43 你們會遇見亞瑪力人和迦南人，並喪身在他們刀下，因為你們離棄耶和華，祂不再與你們同在。」 44 儘管耶和華的約櫃和摩西都沒有出營，他們卻擅自上山頂去。 45 住在山區的亞瑪力人和迦南人下來擊潰了他們，一路追殺他們到何珥瑪。
Numbers 14
King James Version
14 And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.
2 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!
3 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?
4 And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.
5 Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.
6 And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes:
7 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.
8 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.
9 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.
