Naghimagsik kay Yahweh ang Israel
14 Nalungkot ang buong bayan ng Israel at magdamag na nag-iyakan. 2 Nagbulungan sila laban kina Moises at Aaron. Ang sabi nila, “Mabuti pang namatay na tayo sa Egipto o kaya'y sa ilang 3 kaysa tayo'y patayin ng ating mga kaaway sa lupaing pinagdalhan sa atin ni Yahweh, at bihagin ang ating asawa't mga anak. Mabuti pa'y bumalik na tayo sa Egipto.” 4 At nag-usap-usap sila na pumili ng isang lider na mangunguna sa kanilang pagbalik.
5 Sina Moises at Aaron ay nagpatirapa na nakikita ng buong bayan. 6 Dahil sa hinagpis, pinunit nina Josue na anak ni Nun at Caleb na anak ni Jefune ang kanilang kasuotan. 7 Sinabi nila, “Mainam ang lupaing tiningnan namin, saganang-sagana sa lahat ng bagay. 8 Kung malulugod sa atin si Yahweh, ibibigay niya sa atin ang lupaing iyon na mayaman at sagana sa lahat ng bagay. 9 Huwag(A) lamang kayong maghihimagsik laban sa kanya. Magtiwala kayo sa kanya at huwag matakot sa mga tagaroon. Madali natin silang matatalo. Kasama natin si Yahweh at ginapi na niya ang kanilang mga diyos. Kaya huwag kayong matakot.” 10 Ngunit binantaang babatuhin ng taong-bayan sina Josue at Caleb. Kaya't ipinakita ni Yahweh ang kanyang kaluwalhatian sa ibabaw ng Toldang Tipanan.
Nanalangin si Moises para sa Bayan
11 Itinanong ni Yahweh kay Moises, “Hanggang kailan ako hahamakin ng mga taong ito? Kailan pa sila maniniwala sa akin samantalang nasaksihan naman nilang lahat ang mga himalang ginawa ko para sa kanila? 12 Padadalhan ko sila ng salot at aalisan ng karapatan sa mana. At ikaw ang gagawin kong ama ng isang bansang higit na marami at makapangyarihan kaysa kanila.”
13 Sumagot(B) si Moises, “Malalaman ng mga Egipcio ang gagawin ninyong iyan. Alam pa naman nila na ang Israel ay inilabas ninyo sa Egipto sa pamamagitan ng inyong kapangyarihan. 14 At(C) kung ito'y sabihin nila sa mga taga-Canaan, alam din ng mga iyon na ang Israel ay pinapatnubayan ninyo. Alam nilang kayo ay harap-harapang nagpapakita sa Israel at ang bayang ito'y inyong pinapatnubayan sa pamamagitan ng haliging ulap kung araw at haliging apoy kung gabi. 15 Kung lilipulin ninyo sila, sasabihin ng lahat na 16 nilipol ninyo ang Israel sa ilang sapagkat hindi ninyo sila kayang dalhin sa lupaing ipinangako ninyo sa kanila. 17 Kaya nga, isinasamo kong minsan pa ninyong ipakita ang inyong kapangyarihan tulad ng sinabi ninyo noong una, 18 ‘Si Yahweh ay hindi madaling magalit, mahabagin at handang magpatawad. Subalit hindi niya ipinagwawalang-bahala ang kasamaan, sapagkat ang kasalanan ng mga magulang ay kanyang sisingilin hanggang sa ikatlo at ikaapat na salinlahi.’ 19 Isinasamo ko nga, Yahweh, patawarin na ninyo ang mga taong ito at patnubayan sila tulad ng inyong ginagawa mula nang sila'y ilabas ninyo sa Egipto, sapagkat kayo ay Diyos ng pag-ibig, at handang magpatawad sa mga nagkasala.”
20 Sinabi ni Yahweh, “Dahil sa panalangin mo, pinapatawad ko na sila. 21 Ngunit(D) ito ang tandaan mo: hanggang ako'y buháy at nalulukuban ng aking kaluwalhatian ang buong mundo, 22-23 isa man sa mga nakakita ng himalang ginawa ko ay hindi makakapasok sa lupaing ipinangako ko sa inyong mga ninuno. Paulit-ulit nila akong sinusubok at hindi nila ako sinusunod. 24 Ngunit(E) si Caleb na aking lingkod ay naiiba sa kanila. Sumunod siya sa akin nang buong katapatan, kaya makakapasok siya sa lupaing iyon, pati ang kanyang angkan. 25 Kaya bukas, magpatuloy kayo sa paglalakbay patungong Dagat na Pula.[a] Lumigid kayo sa ilang sapagkat ang mga Amoreo at Cananeo ay nasa kapatagan.”
Ang Parusa sa Israel
26 Sinabi ni Yahweh kina Moises at Aaron, 27 “Hanggang ngayo'y patuloy pa rin ang mga Israelita sa pagrereklamo laban sa akin. Kailan pa ba sila tatahimik? 28 Sabihin ninyo sa kanila na ito ang ipinapasabi ko: ‘Habang buháy akong si Yahweh, gagawin ko sa inyo ang narinig kong gusto ninyong mangyari. 29 Mamamatay(F) kayo dito sa ilang. Sa mga kabilang sa sensus, samakatuwid ay iyong mula sa dalawampung taon pataas, 30 isa man ay walang makakarating sa lupaing ipinangako ko, maliban kina Caleb na anak ni Jefune at Josue na anak ni Nun. 31 Ang makakarating lamang doon ay ang inyong mga anak na sinasabi ninyong mabibihag ng kaaway. Sila ang maninirahan doon. 32 Ngunit mamamatay kayo dito sa ilang. 33 Ang(G) mga anak ninyo'y magpapalabuy-laboy rito sa loob ng apatnapung taon, hanggang hindi kayo namamatay lahat. Ito ang kabayaran ng inyong hindi pagsampalataya. 34 Ang apatnapung araw na pinagmanman ninyo sa lupaing iyon ay tutumbasan ko ng apatnapung taon ng pagpapahirap upang madama ninyo ang aking poot sa loob ng panahong iyon.’ 35 Akong si Yahweh ang maysabi nito at gagawin ko ito sa masamang bayang ito. Mamamatay sila rito sa ilang.”
Namatay ang Sampung Masamang Espiya
36 At ang mga espiya na nagbigay ng masamang ulat na siyang naging dahilan ng kaguluhan sa Israel 37 ay nilipol ni Yahweh sa pamamagitan ng salot. 38 Ngunit hindi namatay si Josue na anak ni Nun at si Caleb na anak ni Jefune.
Nalupig ang Israel sa Horma(H)
39 Lahat ng bilin ni Yahweh ay sinabi ni Moises sa mga Israelita, at sila'y nag-iyakan. 40 Kinaumagahan, nagpunta sila sa ibabaw ng burol. Sinabi nila, “Papunta na kami sa lupaing sinasabi ni Yahweh. Tinatanggap naming kami'y nagkasala.”
41 Ngunit sinabi ni Moises, “Bakit ninyo sinusuway si Yahweh? Hindi ba ninyo alam na hindi magtatagumpay ang ginagawa ninyong iyan? 42 Huwag na kayong tumuloy. Kapag tumuloy kayo, malulupig kayo ng inyong mga kaaway sapagkat hindi kayo sasamahan ni Yahweh. 43 Ang mga Amalekita at Cananeo ay naroon sa pupuntahan ninyo at tiyak na papatayin nila kayo. Hindi ninyo maaasahan ang patnubay ni Yahweh sapagkat siya'y itinakwil na ninyo.”
44 Ngunit nagpatuloy pa rin sila kahit wala sa kanila ang Kaban ng Tipan at hindi nila kasama si Moises. 45 Sinalakay nga sila ng mga Amalekita at mga Cananeo na naninirahan sa kaburulan, tinalo sila ng mga ito at tinugis sila hanggang sa Horma.

Bamidbar 14
Orthodox Jewish Bible
14 And Kol HaEdah lifted up their voice, and cried; and HaAm wept that night.
2 And Kol Bnei Yisroel murmured against Moshe and against Aharon: and the Kol HaEdah said unto them, If only we had died in Eretz Mitzrayim! Or if only we had died in this midbar!
3 And why hath Hashem brought us unto this land, to fall by the cherev, that nasheinu (our wives) and our children should be as plunder? Were it not better for us to go back unto Mitzrayim?
4 And they said one to another, Let us make a Rosh (Leader), and let us go back unto Mitzrayim.
5 Then Moshe and Aharon fell on their faces before Kol Kehal Adat Bnei Yisroel.
6 And Yehoshua ben Nun, and Kalev ben Yephunneh, which were of them that explored HaAretz, tore their clothes:
7 And they spoke unto Kol Adat Bnei Yisroel, saying, HaAretz, which we passed through to explore it, is a tovah haaretz me’od me’od.
8 If Hashem delight in us, then He will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land zavat cholov udevash.
9 Only rebel not ye against Hashem, neither fear ye the Am HaAretz; for they are lachmeinu (our bread): their protection is departed from them, and Hashem is with us: fear them not.
10 But Kol HaEdah talked of stoning them with avanim. And the Kavod Hashem appeared in the Ohel Mo’ed before Kol Bnei Yisroel.
11 And Hashem said unto Moshe, How long will this people treat Me with contempt? And how long will it be until they believe in Me, for all the otot which I have performed among them?
12 I will strike them down with dever (pestilence), and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.
13 And Moshe said unto Hashem, Then the Egyptians shall hear it, (for Thou broughtest up this people in Thy ko’ach [might] from among them;)
14 And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land; for they have heard that Thou Hashem art among this people, that Thou Hashem art seen eye to eye, and that Thy Anan standeth over them, and that Thou goest before them, by day in an Ammud Anan, and in an Ammud Eish by night.
15 Now if Thou shalt kill all this people as one man, then the Goyim which have heard the fame of Thee will speak, saying,
16 Because Hashem was not able to bring this people into HaAretz which He promised them by oath, therefore He hath slaughtered (shachat) them in the midbar.
17 And now, I beseech thee, let the Ko’ach Adonoi be great, according as Thou hast spoken, saying,
18 Hashem is slow of anger, and of rav chesed, forgiving avon and peysha, and by no means exonerating the guilty, visiting the avon of the avot upon the banim unto the third and fourth generation.
19 Selach (forgive!), I beseech thee, the avon of this people according unto the greatness of Thy chesed, just as Thou hast forgiven this people, from Mitzrayim even until now.
20 And Hashem said, I have pardoned according to thy word [of petition]:
21 But as surely as I live, Kol HaAretz (all the Earth) shall be filled with the Kavod Hashem.
22 Because all those men which have seen My kavod, and My otot (miraculous signs), which I performed in Mitzrayim and in the midbar, and have tested Me now these ten times, and have not paid heed to My voice;
23 Surely they shall not see HaAretz which I swore unto their avot, neither shall any of them that treated Me with contempt see it:
24 But Avdi Kalev, because he hath a ruach acheret in him, and hath followed after Me fully, him will I bring into HaAretz whereinto he went; and his zera shall inherit it.
25 (Now the Amaleki and the Kena’ani dwelt in the valley.) Tomorrow turn and get you into the midbar by the way of the Yam Suph.
26 And Hashem spoke unto Moshe and unto Aharon, saying,
27 How long shall I bear with this Edah Hara’ah, which murmur against Me? I have heard the murmurings of the Bnei Yisroel, which they murmur against Me.
28 Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith Hashem, as ye have spoken in Mine ears, so will I do to you:
29 Your corpses shall fall in this midbar; and all that were numbered of you, according to your entire mispar (number, census), from twenty years old and upward which have murmured against Me.
30 Not one of you shall come into HaAretz, concerning which I swore to make you dwell therein, except for Kalev ben Yephunneh, and Yehoshua ben Nun.
31 But your little ones, which ye said would be plunder, them will I bring in, and they shall know HaAretz which ye have rejected.
32 But as for you, your corpses, they shall fall in this midbar.
33 And your banim shall wander [wandering ro’im] in the midbar arba’im shanah, and bear [the penalty of] your whoredoms [zenut, spiritual disloyalty and rebellion], until the last of your corpses lies in the midbar.
34 After the number of the days in which ye explored HaAretz, even arba’im, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even arba’im shanah, and ye shall know My Tenu’a (Opposition).
35 I, Hashem, have spoken, I will surely do it unto this Kol HaEdah, that are gathered together against Me: in this midbar they shall come to an end, and there they shall die.
36 And the anashim, which Moshe sent to spy out the land, who returned, and made Kol HaEdah to murmur against him, the ones spreading a dibbah (bad report, slander) about HaAretz,
37 Even those anashim that did bring up the evil report of HaAretz, died by the maggefah before Hashem.
38 But Yehoshua ben Nun, and Kalev ben Yephunneh survived of the anashim that went to explore HaAretz.
39 And Moshe told these sayings unto Kol Bnei Yisroel: and HaAm mourned greatly.
40 And they rose up early in the boker, and went up into the height of the hill country, saying, Behold, we are here, and will go up unto the place which Hashem hath promised: for we have sinned.
41 And Moshe said, Why now do ye transgress the utterance of Hashem? This will not succeed.
42 Go not up, for Hashem is not among you; that ye be not struck down before your enemies.
43 For the Amaleki and the Kena’ani are there before you, and ye shall fall by the cherev: because ye are turned away from Hashem, therefore Hashem will not be with you.
44 But they presumed to go up unto the ridge of the mountain: nevertheless the Aron Brit Hashem, and Moshe, departed not out of the machaneh.
45 Then the Amaleki came down, and the Kena’ani which dwelt in that hill country, and struck them down, and put them to rout, even unto Chormah.
