¹Siis terve kogudus tõstis valjusti häält ja rahvas nuttis sel ööl.

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

²Kõik Iisraeli lapsed nurisesid Moosese ja Aaroni vastu ja terve kogudus ütles neile: 'Oleksime ometi surnud Egiptusemaal või siin kõrbes! Oleksime ometi surnud!

²All the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said to them, “Would that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would that we had died in this wilderness!

³Miks Issand viib meid sellele maale, kus me langeme mõõga läbi ja meie naised ja lapsed jäävad saagiks? Kas meil ei oleks parem minna tagasi Egiptusesse?'

³Why does Yahweh bring us to this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will be a prey: wouldn’t it be better for us to return into Egypt?”

⁴Ja nad ütlesid üksteisele: 'Valigem pealik ja mingem tagasi Egiptusesse!'

⁴They said one to another, “Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.”

⁵Siis Mooses ja Aaron heitsid silmili maha kogu Iisraeli laste kokkutulnud koguduse ees,

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

⁶Joosua, Nuuni poeg, ja Kaaleb, Jefunne poeg, maakuulajate hulgast aga käristasid oma riided lõhki

⁶Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were of those who spied out the land, tore their clothes:

⁷ja rääkisid kogu Iisraeli laste kogudusele, öeldes: 'Maa, mille me läbi käisime, et seda uurida, on väga hea maa.

⁷and they spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, “The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceeding good land.

⁸Kui Issandal on meist hea meel, siis ta viib meid sellele maale ja annab selle meile, maa, mis piima ja mett voolab.

⁸If Yahweh delights in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it to us; a land which flows with milk and honey.

⁹Ärge ainult pange vastu Issandale ja ärge kartke maa rahvast, sest nad on meile parajaks palaks: nende kaitsja on nad maha jätnud, aga Issand on meiega! Ärge kartke neid!'

⁹Only don’t rebel against Yahweh, neither fear the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defense is removed from over them, and Yahweh is with us. Don’t fear them.”

¹⁰Siis ütles terve kogudus, et nad tuleks kividega surnuks visata! Aga Issanda auhiilgus ilmutas ennast kogudusetelgis kõigile Iisraeli lastele.

¹⁰But all the congregation threatened to stone them with stones. The glory of Yahweh appeared in the Tent of Meeting to all the children of Israel.

¹¹Ja Issand ütles Moosesele: 'Kui kaua see rahvas põlgab mind ja kui kaua nad ei usu mind hoolimata kõigist tunnustähtedest, mis ma nende keskel olen teinud?

¹¹Yahweh said to Moses, “How long will this people despise me? and how long will they not believe in me, for all the signs which I have worked among them?

¹²Ma löön teda katkuga ja hävitan tema, aga sinust ma teen suurema ja vägevama rahva kui tema!'

¹²I will strike them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of you a nation greater and mightier than they.”

¹³Siis Mooses ütles Issandale: 'Egiptlased on muidugi kuulnud, et sa oma rammuga oled selle rahva ära toonud nende keskelt,

¹³Moses said to Yahweh, “Then the Egyptians will hear it; for you brought up this people in your might from among them;

¹⁴ja nad on seda rääkinud selle maa elanikele. Nemadki on siis kuulnud, et sina, Issand, oled selle rahva keskel, sina, Issand, kes ennast ilmutad silmast silma, ja et sinu pilv seisab nende kohal ning et sa käid nende ees päeval pilvesambas ja öösel tulesambas.

¹⁴and they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have heard that you Yahweh are in the midst of this people; for you Yahweh are seen face to face, and your cloud stands over them, and you go before them, in a pillar of cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night.

¹⁵Aga kui sa nüüd surmad selle rahva nagu üheainsa mehe, siis räägivad rahvad, kes sinu kuulsusest on kuulnud, ja ütlevad:

¹⁵Now if you killed this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of you will speak, saying,

¹⁶Sellepärast et Issand ei suutnud viia seda rahvast maale, mille ta neile oli vandega tõotanud, tappis ta nad kõrbes.

¹⁶‘Because Yahweh was not able to bring this people into the land which he swore to them, therefore he has slain them in the wilderness.’

¹⁷Nüüd aga saagu Issanda ramm suureks, nagu sa oled tõotanud, öeldes:

¹⁷Now please let the power of the Lord The word translated “Lord” is “Adonai.” be great, according as you have spoken, saying,

¹⁸Issand on pika meelega ja rikas heldusest, ta annab andeks patu ja üleastumise, aga kes ei jäta süüdlast karistamata, vaid nuhtleb vanemate patu laste kätte kolmanda ja neljanda põlveni.

¹⁸‘Yahweh is slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, forgiving iniquity and disobedience; and that will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation.’

¹⁹Anna siis andeks selle rahva patt oma suure helduse pärast ja nagu sa sellele rahvale oled andeks andnud Egiptusemaalt kuni siiani!'

¹⁹Please pardon the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of your loving kindness, and according as you have forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.”

²⁰Ja Issand vastas: 'Ma annan andeks, nagu oled palunud!

²⁰Yahweh said, “I have pardoned according to your word:

²¹Aga nii tõesti kui ma elan ja kogu maailm on täis Issanda auhiilgust:

²¹but in very deed, as I live, and as all the earth shall be filled with the glory of Yahweh;

²²ükski neist meestest, kes on näinud mu auhiilgust ja tunnustähti, mis ma tegin Egiptuses ja kõrbes, aga kes sellest hoolimata on mind kiusanud kümme korda ega ole võtnud kuulda mu häält,

²²because all those men who have seen my glory, and my signs, which I worked in Egypt and in the wilderness, yet have tempted me these ten times, and have not listened to my voice;

²³ei saa näha maad, mille ma vandega olen tõotanud anda nende vanemaile; ükski, kes mind on põlanud, ei saa seda näha!

²³surely they shall not see the land which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any of those who despised me see it:

²⁴Aga oma sulase Kaalebi viin ma sellele maale, kus ta on käinud, ja tema sugu pärib selle, sellepärast et temas on teistsugune vaim ja tema on kõiges mulle järgnenud!

²⁴but my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and has followed me fully, him will I bring into the land into which he went; and his seed shall possess it.

²⁵Amalekid ja kaananlased elavad ju orus. Homme pöörduge ümber ja minge teele kõrbe poole mööda Kõrkjamere teed!'

²⁵Now the Amalekite and the Canaanite dwell in the valley: tomorrow turn, and go into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea or, Sea of Reeds .”

²⁶Ja Issand rääkis Moosesega ja Aaroniga, öeldes:

²⁶Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

²⁷'Kui kaua peab mul olema kannatust selle halva kogudusega, kes nuriseb mu vastu? Iisraeli laste nurinaid, kuidas nad nurisevad mu vastu, ma olen kuulnud.

²⁷“How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, that murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.

²⁸Ütle neile: Nii tõesti kui ma elan, on Issanda sõna, et nõnda nagu te minu kuuldes olete rääkinud, nõnda ma teen teiega!

²⁸Tell them, ‘As I live, says Yahweh, surely as you have spoken in my ears, so will I do to you:

²⁹Siia kõrbe langevad teie kehad, kõik teie äraloetud, nii palju kui teid on, kahekümneaastased ja üle selle, kes on nurisenud mu vastu.

²⁹your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness; and all who were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, who have murmured against me,

³⁰Ükski teist ei pääse sellele maale, mille pärast ma oma käe olen vandudes üles tõstnud, et ma asustan teid sinna, peale Kaalebi, Jefunne poja, ja Joosua, Nuuni poja.

³⁰surely you shall not come into the land, concerning which I swore that I would make you dwell therein, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.

³¹Aga teie lapsed, kelle kohta te ütlesite, et nad jäävad riisutavaiks, ma viin ja nad õpivad tundma maad, mida teie olete põlanud.

³¹But your little ones, that you said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which you have rejected.

³²Kuid teie kehad langevad siia kõrbe

³²But as for you, your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness.

³³ja teie lapsed peavad olema kõrbes karjased nelikümmend aastat ja kandma teie uskmatuse süüd, kuni teie kehad on kõrbes hävinud.

³³Your children shall be wanderers in the wilderness forty years, and shall bear your prostitution, until your dead bodies be consumed in the wilderness.

³⁴Vastavalt päevade arvule, mis te uurisite seda maad, nelikümmend päeva, iga päeva kohta aasta, peate te kandma oma pattu nelikümmend aastat ja tundma minu vastupanu.

³⁴After the number of the days in which you spied out the land, even forty days, for every day a year, you will bear your iniquities, even forty years, and you will know my alienation.’

³⁵Mina, Issand, olen rääkinud! Tõesti, seda ma teen kogu selle halva kogudusega, kes on kogunenud mu vastu: nad peavad hukkuma selles kõrbes ja surema seal!'

³⁵I, Yahweh, have spoken, surely this will I do to all this evil congregation, who are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.”

³⁶Ja need mehed, keda Mooses oli läkitanud maad kuulama ja kes olid tagasi tulles ässitanud terve koguduse nurisema tema vastu, levitades maa kohta laimu,

³⁶The men, whom Moses sent to spy out the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up an evil report against the land,

³⁷need mehed, kes olid levitanud maa kohta halba laimu, surid Issanda ees äkitselt.

³⁷even those men who brought up an evil report of the land, died by the plague before Yahweh.

³⁸Aga Joosua, Nuuni poeg, ja Kaaleb, Jefunne poeg, jäid elama neist meestest, kes olid käinud maad kuulamas.

³⁸But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, remained alive of those men who went to spy out the land.

³⁹Kui Mooses rääkis needsamad sõnad kõigile Iisraeli lastele, siis rahvas kurvastas väga.

³⁹Moses told these words to all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly.

⁴⁰Aga järgmisel hommikul tõusid nad vara ja läksid üles mäestikku, öeldes: 'Vaata, siin me oleme ja me läheme paika, millest Issand on rääkinud, sest me oleme pattu teinud.'

⁴⁰They rose up early in the morning, and went up to the top of the mountain, saying, “Behold, we are here, and will go up to the place which Yahweh has promised: for we have sinned.”

⁴¹Aga Mooses ütles: 'Miks te siis astute üle Issanda käsust? See ei õnnestu!

⁴¹Moses said, “Why now do you disobey the commandment of Yahweh, since it shall not prosper?

⁴²Ärge minge sinna üles, sest Issand ei ole teie keskel, et te ei kannaks kaotust oma vaenlaste ees!

⁴²Don’t go up, for Yahweh isn’t among you; that you not be struck down before your enemies.

⁴³Sest amalekid ja kaananlased on seal teie ees ja te langete mõõga läbi; sellepärast et te olete taganenud Issanda järelt, ei ole ka Issand teiega.'

⁴³For there the Amalekite and the Canaanite are before you, and you shall fall by the sword: because you are turned back from following Yahweh, therefore Yahweh will not be with you.”

⁴⁴Aga nad olid ülemeelsed minema üles mäestikku, kuigi Issanda seaduselaegas ja Mooses ei läinud leerist välja.

⁴⁴But they presumed to go up to the top of the mountain: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, and Moses, didn’t depart out of the camp.

⁴⁵Amalekid ja kaananlased, kes elasid seal mäestikus, tulid siis alla ja lõid neid ning ajasid nad kuni Hormani.

⁴⁵Then the Amalekite came down, and the Canaanite who lived in that mountain, and struck them and beat them down, even to Hormah.
