KJV ¹ And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.

VULC ¹ Igitur vociferans omnis turba flevit nocte illa,

KJV 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!

VULC ² et murmurati sunt contra Moysen et Aaron cuncti filii Israël, dicentes :

KJV 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?

VULC ³ Utinam mortui essemus in Ægypto : et in hac vasta solitudine utinam pereamus, et non inducat nos Dominus in terram istam, ne cadamus gladio, et uxores ac liberi nostri ducantur captivi. Nonne melius est reverti in Ægyptum ?

KJV ⁴ And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.

VULC ⁴ Dixeruntque alter ad alterum : Constituamus nobis ducem, et revertamur in Ægyptum.

KJV ⁵ Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.

VULC ⁵ Quo audito, Moyses et Aaron ceciderunt proni in terram coram omni multitudine filiorum Israël.

KJV ⁶ And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes:

VULC ⁶ At vero Josue filius Nun et Caleb filius Jephone, qui et ipsi lustraverant terram, sciderunt vestimenta sua,

KJV 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.

VULC ⁷ et ad omnem multitudinem filiorum Israël locuti sunt : Terra, quam circuivimus, valde bona est.

KJV 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.

VULC ⁸ Si propitius fuerit Dominus, inducet nos in eam, et tradet humum lacte et melle manantem.

KJV 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.

VULC ⁹ Nolite rebelles esse contra Dominum : neque timeatis populum terræ hujus, quia sicut panem ita eos possumus devorare. Recessit ab eis omne præsidium : Dominus nobiscum est, nolite metuere.

KJV 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.

VULC ¹⁰ Cumque clamaret omnis multitudo, et lapidibus eos vellet opprimere, apparuit gloria Domini super tectum fœderis cunctis filiis Israël.

KJV 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?

VULC ¹¹ Et dixit Dominus ad Moysen : Usquequo detrahet mihi populus iste ? quousque non credent mihi, in omnibus signis quæ feci coram eis ?

KJV ¹² I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.

VULC ¹² Feriam igitur eos pestilentia, atque consumam : te autem faciam principem super gentem magnam, et fortiorem quam hæc est.

KJV 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;)

VULC ¹³ Et ait Moyses ad Dominum : Ut audiant Ægyptii, de quorum medio eduxisti populum istum,

KJV 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.

VULC ¹⁴ et habitatores terræ hujus, qui audierunt quod tu, Domine, in populo isto sis, et facie videaris ad faciem, et nubes tua protegat illos, et in columna nubis præcedas eos per diem, et in columna ignis per noctem :

KJV 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,

VULC ¹⁵ quod occideris tantam multitudinem quasi unum hominem, et dicant :

KJV 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.

VULC ¹⁶ Non poterat introducere populum in terram pro qua juraverat : idcirco occidit eos in solitudine ?

KJV ¹⁷ And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my Lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying,

VULC ¹⁷ Magnificetur ergo fortitudo Domini sicut jurasti, dicens :

KJV 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.

VULC ¹⁸ Dominus patiens et multæ misericordiæ, auferens iniquitatem et scelera, nullumque innoxium derelinquens, qui visitas peccata patrum in filios in tertiam et quartam generationem.

KJV 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.

VULC ¹⁹ Dimitte, obsecro, peccatum populi hujus secundum magnitudinem misericordiæ tuæ, sicut propitius fuisti egredientibus de Ægypto usque ad locum istum.

KJV ²⁰ And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy word:

VULC ²⁰ Dixitque Dominus : Dimisi juxta verbum tuum.

KJV ²¹ But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD.

VULC ²¹ Vivo ego : et implebitur gloria Domini universa terra.

KJV 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;

VULC ²² Attamen omnes homines qui viderunt majestatem meam, et signa quæ feci in Ægypto et in solitudine, et tentaverunt me jam per decem vices, nec obedierunt voci meæ,

KJV ²³ Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:

VULC ²³ non videbunt terram pro qua juravi patribus eorum, nec quisquam ex illis qui detraxit mihi, intuebitur eam.

KJV 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.

VULC ²⁴ Servum meum Caleb, qui plenus alio spiritu secutus est me, inducam in terram hanc, quam circuivit ; et semen ejus possidebit eam.

KJV 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.

VULC ²⁵ Quoniam Amalecites et Chananæus habitant in vallibus. Cras movete castra, et revertimini in solitudinem per viam maris Rubri.

KJV ²⁶ And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

VULC ²⁶ Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen et Aaron, dicens :

KJV 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.

VULC ²⁷ Usquequo multitudo hæc pessima murmurat contra me ? querelas filiorum Israël audivi.

KJV 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:

VULC ²⁸ Dic ergo eis : Vivo ego, ait Dominus : sicut locuti estis audiente me, sic faciam vobis.

KJV 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.

VULC ²⁹ In solitudine hac jacebunt cadavera vestra. Omnes qui numerati estis a viginti annis et supra, et murmurastis contra me,

KJV 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.

VULC ³⁰ non intrabitis terram, super quam levavi manum meam ut habitare vos facerem, præter Caleb filium Jephone, et Josue filium Nun.

KJV 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.

VULC ³¹ Parvulos autem vestros, de quibus dixistis quod prædæ hostibus forent, introducam, ut videant terram, quæ vobis displicuit.

KJV ³² But as for you, your carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness.

VULC ³² Vestra cadavera jacebunt in solitudine.

KJV ³³ And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness.

VULC ³³ Filii vestri erunt vagi in deserto annis quadraginta, et portabunt fornicationem vestram, donec consumantur cadavera patrum in deserto,

KJV 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.

VULC ³⁴ juxta numerum quadraginta dierum, quibus considerastis terram : annus pro die imputabitur. Et quadraginta annis recipietis iniquitates vestras, et scietis ultionem meam :

KJV 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.

VULC ³⁵ quoniam sicut locutus sum, ita faciam omni multitudini huic pessimæ, quæ consurrexit adversum me : in solitudine hac deficiet, et morietur.

KJV 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,

VULC ³⁶ Igitur omnes viri, quos miserat Moyses ad contemplandam terram, et qui reversi murmurare fecerant contra eum omnem multitudinem, detrahentes terræ quod esset mala,

KJV ³⁷ Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died by the plague before the LORD.

VULC ³⁷ mortui sunt atque percussi in conspectu Domini.

KJV 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.

VULC ³⁸ Josue autem filius Nun, et Caleb filius Jephone, vixerunt ex omnibus qui perrexerant ad considerandam terram.

KJV ³⁹ And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly.

VULC ³⁹ Locutusque est Moyses universa verba hæc ad omnes filios Israël, et luxit populus nimis.

KJV 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.

VULC ⁴⁰ Et ecce mane primo surgentes ascenderunt verticem montis, atque dixerunt : Parati sumus ascendere ad locum, de quo Dominus locutus est : quia peccavimus.

KJV ⁴¹ And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of the LORD? but it shall not prosper.

VULC ⁴¹ Quibus Moyses : Cur, inquit, transgredimini verbum Domini, quod vobis non cedet in prosperum ?

KJV ⁴² Go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that ye be not smitten before your enemies.

VULC ⁴² nolite ascendere : non enim est Dominus vobiscum : ne corruatis coram inimicis vestris.

KJV 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.

VULC ⁴³ Amalecites et Chananæus ante vos sunt, quorum gladio corruetis, eo quod nolueritis acquiescere Domino : nec erit Dominus vobiscum.

KJV 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.

VULC ⁴⁴ At illi contenebrati ascenderunt in verticem montis. Arca autem testamenti Domini et Moyses non recesserunt de castris.

KJV ⁴⁵ Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which dwelt in that hill, and smote them, and discomfited them, even unto Hormah.

VULC ⁴⁵ Descenditque Amalecites et Chananæus, qui habitabat in monte : et percutiens eos atque concidens, persecutus est eos usque Horma.
