Numbers 14

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	LXX
1 At this, the whole community broke out with loud cries, and even in the night the people wailed.	1 και αναλαβουσα πασα η συναγωγη εδωκεν φωνην και εκλαιεν ο λαος ολην την νυκτα εκεινην
2 All the Israelites grumbled against Moses and Aaron, the whole community saying to them, "Would that we had died in the land of Egypt, or that here in the desert we were dead!	2 και διεγογγυζον επι μωυσην και ααρων παντες οι υιοι ισραηλ και ειπαν προς αυτους πασα η συναγωγη οφελον απεθανομεν εν γη αιγυπτω η εν τη ερημω ταυτη ει απεθανομεν
3 Why is the LORD bringing us into this land only to have us fall by the sword? Our wives and little ones will be taken as booty. Would it not be better for us to return to Egypt?"	3 και ινα τι κυριος εισαγει ημας εις την γην ταυτην πεσειν εν πολεμω αι γυναικες ημων και τα παιδια εσονται εις διαρπαγην νυν ουν βελτιον ημιν εστιν αποστραφηναι εις αιγυπτον
4 So they said to one another, "Let us appoint a leader and go back to Egypt."	4 και ειπαν ετερος τω ετερω δωμεν αρχηγον και αποστρεψωμεν εις αιγυπτον
5 But Moses and Aaron fell prostrate before the whole assembled community of the Israelites;	5 και επεσεν μωυσης και ααρων επι προσωπον εναντιον πασης συναγωγης υιων ισραηλ
6 while Joshua, son of Nun, and Caleb, son of Jephunneh, who had been in the party that scouted the land, tore their garments	6 ιησους δε ο του ναυη και χαλεβ ο του ιεφοννη των κατασκεψαμενων την γην διερρηξαν τα ιματια αυτων
7 and said to the whole community of the Israelites, "The country which we went through and explored is a fine, rich land.	7 και ειπαν προς πασαν συναγωγην υιων ισραηλ λεγοντες η γη ην κατεσκεψαμεθα αυτην αγαθη εστιν σφοδρα σφοδρα
8 If the LORD is pleased with us, he will bring us in and give us that land, a land flowing with milk and honey.	8 ει αιρετιζει ημας κυριος εισαξει ημας εις την γην ταυτην και δωσει αυτην ημιν γη ητις εστιν ρεουσα γαλα και μελι
9 But do not rebel against the LORD! You need not be afraid of the people of that land; they are but food for us! Their defense has left them, but the LORD is with us. Therefore, do not be afraid of them."	9 αλλα απο του κυριου μη αποσταται γινεσθε υμεις δε μη φοβηθητε τον λαον της γης οτι καταβρωμα ημιν εστιν αφεστηκεν γαρ ο καιρος απ' αυτων ο δε κυριος εν ημιν μη φοβηθητε αυτους
10 In answer, the whole community threatened to stone them. But then the glory of the LORD appeared at the meeting tent to all the Israelites.	10 και ειπεν πασα η συναγωγη καταλιθοβολησαι αυτους εν λιθοις και η δοξα κυριου ωφθη εν νεφελη επι της σκηνης του μαρτυριου εν πασι τοις υιοις ισραηλ
11 And the LORD said to Moses, "How long will this people spurn me? How long will they refuse to believe in me, despite all the signs I have performed among them?	11 και ειπεν κυριος προς μωυσην εως τινος παροξυνει με ο λαος ουτος και εως τινος ου πιστευουσιν μοι εν πασιν τοις σημειοις οις εποιησα εν αυτοις
12 I will strike them with pestilence and wipe them out. Then I will make of you a nation greater and mightier than they."	12 παταξω αυτους θανατω και απολω αυτους και ποιησω σε και τον οικον του πατρος σου εις εθνος μεγα και πολυ μαλλον η τουτο
13 But Moses said to the LORD: "Are the Egyptians to hear of this? For by your power you brought out this people from among them.	13 και ειπεν μωυσης προς κυριον και ακουσεται αιγυπτος οτι ανηγαγες τη ισχυι σου τον λαον τουτον εξ αυτων
14 And are they to tell of it to the inhabitants of this land? It has been heard that you, O LORD, are in the midst of this people; you, LORD, who plainly reveal yourself! Your cloud stands over them, and you go before them by day in a column of cloud and by night in a column of fire.	14 αλλα και παντες οι κατοικουντες επι της γης ταυτης ακηκοασιν οτι συ ει κυριος εν τω λαω τουτω οστις οφθαλμοις κατ' οφθαλμους οπταζη κυριε και η νεφελη σου εφεστηκεν επ' αυτων και εν στυλω νεφελης συ πορευη προτερος αυτων την ημεραν και εν στυλω πυρος την νυκτα
15 If now you slay this whole people, the nations who have heard such reports of you will say,	15 και εκτριψεις τον λαον τουτον ωσει ανθρωπον ενα και ερουσιν τα εθνη οσοι ακηκοασιν το ονομα σου λεγοντες
16 'The LORD was not able to bring this people into the land he swore to give them; that is why he slaughtered them in the desert.'	16 παρα το μη δυνασθαι κυριον εισαγαγειν τον λαον τουτον εις την γην ην ωμοσεν αυτοις κατεστρωσεν αυτους εν τη ερημω
17 Now then, let the power of my Lord be displayed in its greatness, even as you have said,	17 και νυν υψωθητω η ισχυς σου κυριε ον τροπον ειπας λεγων
18 'The LORD is slow to anger and rich in kindness, forgiving wickedness and crime; yet not declaring the guilty guiltless, but punishing children to the third and fourth generation for their fathers' wickedness.'	18 κυριος μακροθυμος και πολυελεος και αληθινος αφαιρων ανομιας και αδικιας και αμαρτιας και καθαρισμω ου καθαριει τον ενοχον αποδιδους αμαρτιας πατερων επι τεκνα εως τριτης και τεταρτης
19 Pardon, then, the wickedness of this people in keeping with your great kindness, even as you have forgiven them from Egypt until now."	19 αφες την αμαρτιαν τω λαω τουτω κατα το μεγα ελεος σου καθαπερ ιλεως αυτοις εγενου απ' αιγυπτου εως του νυν
20 The LORD answered: "I pardon them as you have asked.	20 και ειπεν κυριος προς μωυσην ιλεως αυτοις ειμι κατα το ρημα σου
21 Yet, by my life and the LORD'S glory that fills the whole earth,	21 αλλα ζω εγω και ζων το ονομα μου και εμπλησει η δοξα κυριου πασαν την γην
22 of all the men who have seen my glory and the signs I worked in Egypt and in the desert, and who nevertheless have put me to the test ten times already and have failed to heed my voice,	22 οτι παντες οι ανδρες οι ορωντες την δοξαν μου και τα σημεια α εποιησα εν αιγυπτω και εν τη ερημω ταυτη και επειρασαν με τουτο δεκατον και ουκ εισηκουσαν μου της φωνης
23 not one shall see the land which I promised on oath to their fathers. None of these who have spurned me shall see it.	23 η μην ουκ οψονται την γην ην ωμοσα τοις πατρασιν αυτων αλλ' η τα τεκνα αυτων α εστιν μετ' εμου ωδε οσοι ουκ οιδασιν αγαθον ουδε κακον πας νεωτερος απειρος τουτοις δωσω την γην παντες δε οι παροξυναντες με ουκ οψονται αυτην
24 But because my servant Caleb has a different spirit and follows me unreservedly, I will bring him into the land where he has just been, and his descendants shall possess it.	24 ο δε παις μου χαλεβ οτι εγενηθη πνευμα ετερον εν αυτω και επηκολουθησεν μοι εισαξω αυτον εις την γην εις ην εισηλθεν εκει και το σπερμα αυτου κληρονομησει αυτην
25 But now, since the Amalekites and Canaanites are living in the valleys, turn away tomorrow and set out in the desert on the Red Sea road."	25 ο δε αμαληκ και ο χαναναιος κατοικουσιν εν τη κοιλαδι αυριον επιστραφητε υμεις και απαρατε εις την ερημον οδον θαλασσαν ερυθραν
26 The LORD also said to Moses and Aaron:	26 και ειπεν κυριος προς μωυσην και ααρων λεγων
27 "How long will this wicked community grumble against me? I have heard the grumblings of the Israelites against me.	27 εως τινος την συναγωγην την πονηραν ταυτην α αυτοι γογγυζουσιν εναντιον εμου την γογγυσιν των υιων ισραηλ ην εγογγυσαν περι υμων ακηκοα
28 Tell them: By my life, says the LORD, I will do to you just what I have heard you say.	28 ειπον αυτοις ζω εγω λεγει κυριος η μην ον τροπον λελαληκατε εις τα ωτα μου ουτως ποιησω υμιν
29 Here in the desert shall your dead bodies fall. Of all your men of twenty years or more, registered in the census, who grumbled against me,	29 εν τη ερημω ταυτη πεσειται τα κωλα υμων και πασα η επισκοπη υμων και οι κατηριθμημενοι υμων απο εικοσαετους και επανω οσοι εγογγυσαν επ' εμοι
30 not one shall enter the land where I solemnly swore to settle you, except Caleb, son of Jephunneh, and Joshua, son of Nun.	30 ει υμεις εισελευσεσθε εις την γην εφ' ην εξετεινα την χειρα μου κατασκηνωσαι υμας επ' αυτης αλλ' η χαλεβ υιος ιεφοννη και ιησους ο του ναυη
31 Your little ones, however, who you said would be taken as booty, I will bring in, and they shall appreciate the land you spurned.	31 και τα παιδια α ειπατε εν διαρπαγη εσεσθαι εισαξω αυτους εις την γην και κληρονομησουσιν την γην ην υμεις απεστητε απ' αυτης
32 But as for you, your bodies shall fall here in the desert,	32 και τα κωλα υμων πεσειται εν τη ερημω ταυτη
33 here where your children must wander for forty years, suffering for your faithlessness, till the last of you lies dead in the desert.	33 οι δε υιοι υμων εσονται νεμομενοι εν τη ερημω τεσσαρακοντα ετη και ανοισουσιν την πορνειαν υμων εως αν αναλωθη τα κωλα υμων εν τη ερημω
34 Forty days you spent in scouting the land; forty years shall you suffer for your crimes: one year for each day. Thus you will realize what it means to oppose me.	34 κατα τον αριθμον των ημερων οσας κατεσκεψασθε την γην τεσσαρακοντα ημερας ημεραν του ενιαυτου λημψεσθε τας αμαρτιας υμων τεσσαρακοντα ετη και γνωσεσθε τον θυμον της οργης μου
35 I, the LORD, have sworn to do this to all this wicked community that conspired against me: here in the desert they shall die to the last man."	35 εγω κυριος ελαλησα η μην ουτως ποιησω τη συναγωγη τη πονηρα ταυτη τη επισυνεσταμενη επ' εμε εν τη ερημω ταυτη εξαναλωθησονται και εκει αποθανουνται
36 And so it happened to the men whom Moses had sent to reconnoiter the land and who on returning had set the whole community grumbling against him by spreading discouraging reports about the land;	36 και οι ανθρωποι ους απεστειλεν μωυσης κατασκεψασθαι την γην και παραγενηθεντες διεγογγυσαν κατ' αυτης προς την συναγωγην εξενεγκαι ρηματα πονηρα περι της γης
37 these men who had given out the bad report about the land were struck down by the LORD and died.	37 και απεθανον οι ανθρωποι οι κατειπαντες κατα της γης πονηρα εν τη πληγη εναντι κυριου
38 Of all the men who had gone to reconnoiter the land, only Joshua, son of Nun, and Caleb, son of Jephunneh, survived.	38 και ιησους υιος ναυη και χαλεβ υιος ιεφοννη εζησαν απο των ανθρωπων εκεινων των πεπορευμενων κατασκεψασθαι την γην
39 When Moses repeated these words to all the Israelites, the people felt great remorse.	39 και ελαλησεν μωυσης τα ρηματα ταυτα προς παντας υιους ισραηλ και επενθησεν ο λαος σφοδρα
40 Early the next morning they started up into the foothills, saying, "Here we are, ready to go up to the place that the LORD spoke of: for we were indeed doing wrong."	40 και ορθρισαντες το πρωι ανεβησαν εις την κορυφην του ορους λεγοντες ιδου οιδε ημεις αναβησομεθα εις τον τοπον ον ειπεν κυριος οτι ημαρτομεν
41 But Moses said, "Why are you again disobeying the LORD'S orders? This cannot succeed.	41 και ειπεν μωυσης ινα τι υμεις παραβαινετε το ρημα κυριου ουκ ευοδα εσται υμιν
42 Do not go up, because the LORD is not in your midst; if you go, you will be beaten down before your enemies.	42 μη αναβαινετε ου γαρ εστιν κυριος μεθ' υμων και πεσεισθε προ προσωπου των εχθρων υμων
43 For there the Amalekites and Canaanites face you, and you will fall by the sword. You have turned back from following the LORD; therefore the LORD will not be with you."	43 οτι ο αμαληκ και ο χαναναιος εκει εμπροσθεν υμων και πεσεισθε μαχαιρα ου εινεκεν απεστραφητε απειθουντες κυριω και ουκ εσται κυριος εν υμιν
44 Yet they dared to go up into the foothills, even though neither the ark of the covenant of the LORD nor Moses left the camp.	44 και διαβιασαμενοι ανεβησαν επι την κορυφην του ορους η δε κιβωτος της διαθηκης κυριου και μωυσης ουκ εκινηθησαν εκ της παρεμβολης
45 And the Amalekites and Canaanites who dwelt in that hill country came down and defeated them, beating them back as far as Hormah.	45 και κατεβη ο αμαληκ και ο χαναναιος ο εγκαθημενος εν τω ορει εκεινω και ετρεψαντο αυτους και κατεκοψαν αυτους εως ερμαν και απεστραφησαν εις την παρεμβολην
