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
King James Version
9 Hear, O Israel: Thou art to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fenced up to heaven,
2 A people great and tall, the children of the Anakims, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the children of Anak!
3 Understand therefore this day, that the Lord thy God is he which goeth over before thee; as a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the Lord hath said unto thee.
4 Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the Lord thy God hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness the Lord hath brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations the Lord doth drive them out from before thee.
5 Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the Lord sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
6 Understand therefore, that the Lord thy God giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiffnecked people.
7 Remember, and forget not, how thou provokedst the Lord thy God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou didst depart out of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious against the Lord.
8 Also in Horeb ye provoked the Lord to wrath, so that the Lord was angry with you to have destroyed you.
9 When I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which the Lord made with you, then I abode in the mount forty days and forty nights, I neither did eat bread nor drink water:
10 And the Lord delivered unto me two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them was written according to all the words, which the Lord spake with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in 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 tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant.
12 And the Lord said unto me, Arise, get thee down quickly from hence; for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image.
13 Furthermore the Lord spake unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
14 Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven: and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.
15 So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned with fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands.
16 And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against the Lord your God, and had made you a molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which the Lord had commanded you.
17 And I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and brake them before your eyes.
18 And I fell down before the Lord, as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger.
19 For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith the Lord was wroth against you to destroy you. But the Lord hearkened unto me at that time also.
20 And the Lord was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him: and I prayed for Aaron also the same time.
21 And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, and ground it very small, even until it was as small as dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount.
22 And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibrothhattaavah, ye provoked the Lord to wrath.
23 Likewise when the Lord sent you from Kadeshbarnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then ye rebelled against the commandment of the Lord your God, and ye believed him not, nor hearkened to his voice.
24 Ye have been rebellious against the Lord from the day that I knew you.
25 Thus I fell down before the Lord forty days and forty nights, as I fell down at the first; because the Lord had said he would destroy you.
26 I prayed therefore unto the Lord, and said, O Lord God, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
27 Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin:
28 Lest the land whence thou broughtest us out say, Because the Lord was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to slay them in the wilderness.
29 Yet they are thy people and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out by thy mighty power and by thy stretched out arm.
