14 — Numbers

1Therefore the whole multitude crying wept that night.Per le quali cose tutta la moltitudine alzò le strida, e pianse tutta quella notte,THERFORE al the multitude crying out wept that night,Igitur vociferans omnis turba flevit nocte illa, 2And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron, saying:E tutti i figliuoli d'Israele mormorarono contro Mosè ed Aronne, dicendo:and al the children of Israel murmured against Moyses and Aaron, saying:et murmurati sunt contra Moysen et Aaron cuncti filii Israël, dicentes: 3Would God that we had died in Egypt: and would God we may die in this vast wilderness, and that the Lord may not bring us into this land, lest we fall by the sword, and our wives and children be led away captives. Is it not better to return into Egypt?Piacesse al cielo che noi fossimo morti in Egitto: e piaccia al cielo, che noi ci struggiamo in questa vasta solitudine, e che il Signore non c'introduca in quel paese, dove noi cadiamo sotto la spada, e le nostre mogli, e i nostri figliuoli sieno menati schiavi. Non sarebb'egli meglio di tornare in Egitto?Would God we had died in Aegypt: and in this vaste wildernesse would God we might die, and that our Lord would not bring vs into this Land, lest we fal by the sword, and our wiues and children be ledde captiue. Is it not better to returne into Aegypt?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 ? 4And they said one to another: Let us appoint a captain, and let us return into Egypt.E diceva l'uno all'altro: Eleggiamoci un condottiere, e torniamo in Egitto.And one said to an other: Let vs appoint a captaine, and let vs returne into Aegypt.Dixeruntque alter ad alterum: Constituamus nobis ducem, et revertamur in Ægyptum. 5And when Moses and Aaron heard this, they fell down flat upon the ground before the multitude of the children of Israel.Ciò avendo udito Mosè ed Aronne si prostrarono bocconi per terra dinanzi a tutta la moltitudine de' figliuoli d'Israele.Which Moyses and Aaron hearing fel flatte vpon the ground before al the multitude of the children o• Israel.Quo audito, Moyses et Aaron ceciderunt proni in terram coram omni multitudine filiorum Israël. 6But Josue the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephone, who themselves also had viewed the land, rent their garments,Ma Giosuè figliuolo di Nun, e Caleb figliuolo di Jephone, che erano stati anch'essi a visitare la terra, si stracciaron le loro vesti,But Iosue the sonne of Nun, and Caleb the sonne of Iephone, who them selues also had viewed the land, rent their garmentes,At vero Josue filius Nun et Caleb filius Jephone, qui et ipsi lustraverant terram, sciderunt vestimenta sua, 7And said to all the multitude of the children of Israel: The land which we have gone round is very good:E dissero a tutto il popolo de' figliuoli d'Israele: La terra, che noi abbiamo scorsa, è buona assai:and spake to al the multitude of the children of Israel: The Land, which we haue circuted, is very good.et ad omnem multitudinem filiorum Israël locuti sunt: Terra, quam circuivimus, valde bona est.

8If the Lord be favourable, he will bring us into it, and give us a land flowing with milk and honey.Se il Signore ci sarà propizio, c'introdurrà in essa, e ci darà un paese, che scorre latte e miele.If our Lord be propitious, he shal bring vs into it, and deliuer vs a ground flowing with milke and honie.Si propitius fuerit Dominus, inducet nos in eam, et tradet humum lacte et melle manantem. 9Be not rebellious against the Lord: and fear ye not the people of this land, for we are able to eat them up as bread. All aid is gone from them: the Lord is with us, fear ye not.Non vi ribellate contro il Signore: e non temete il popolo di quella terra; perocché noi lo possiamo divorare come il pane: ei sono rimasi senza difesa: il Signore è con noi, non temete.Be not rebellious against our Lord: neither feare ye the people of this land, for euen as bread so we may deuoure them. al aide is gone from them: our Lord is with vs, feare ye not.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. 10And when all the multitude cried out, and would have stoned them, the glory of the Lord appeared over the tabernacle of the covenant to all the children of Israel.E schiamazzando tutto il popolo, e volendo lapidarli, la maestà del Signore si fe' vedere a tutti i figliuoli d'Israele sul tabernacolo dell'alleanza.And when al the multitude cried, and would haue stoned them, the glorie of our Lord appeared ouer the roofe of couenant in the sight of al the children of Israel.Cumque clamaret omnis multitudo, et lapidibus eos vellet opprimere, apparuit gloria Domini super tectum fœderis cunctis filiis Israël. 11And the Lord said to Moses: How long will this people detract me? how long will they not believe me for all the signs that I have wrought before them?E il Signore disse a Mosè: sino a quando mi oltraggerà questa popolo? sino a quando non avran fede a me dopo tutti i prodigi, che ho fatto sugli occhi loro?And our Lord said to Moyses: How long wil this people detract me? How long wil they not beleue me in al the signes, that I haue done before them?Et dixit Dominus ad Moysen: Usquequo detrahet mihi populus iste ? quousque non credent mihi, in omnibus signis quæ feci coram eis ? 12I will strike them therefore with pestilence, and will consume them: but thee I will make a ruler over a great nation, and a mightier than this is.Io adunque li ferirò colla pestilenza, e li consumerò: te poi io farò principe d'una nazione grande, e più forte di questa.I wil strike them therfore with pestilence, and wil consume them: but thee I wil make prince ouer a great nation, and a stronger then this is.Feriam igitur eos pestilentia, atque consumam: te autem faciam principem super gentem magnam, et fortiorem quam hæc est.

13And Moses said to the Lord: That the Egyptians, from the midst of whom thou hast brought forth this people,E Mosè disse al Signore: Affinché giunga la nuova agli Egiziani, di mezzo a' quali tu hai cavato questo popolo,And Moyses said to our Lord: That the Aegyptians, from the middes of whom thou hast brought forth this people,Et ait Moyses ad Dominum: Ut audiant Ægyptii, de quorum medio eduxisti populum istum, 14And the inhabitants of this land, (who have heard that thou, O Lord, art among this people, and art seen face to face, and thy cloud protecteth them, and thou goest before them in a pillar of a cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night,)E agli abitatori di questa terra, i quali han sentito, come tu, o Signore, sei con questo popolo, e ti fai vedere faccia a faccia, e li proteggi colla tua nuvola, e colla colonna di nuvola vai loro innanzi di giorno, e colla colonna di fuoco la notte:and the inhabitantes of this Land, which haue heard that thou Lord art among this people, and art sene face to face, and thy cloude protecteth them, and in a piller of a cloude thou goest before them by day, and in a piller of fire by night:)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: 15May hear that thou hast killed so great a multitude as it were one man and may say:Come tu avrai fatto morire tanta gente, come un sol uomo, e dicano:may heare that thou hast killed so great a multitude as it were one man, and may say:quod occideris tantam multitudinem quasi unum hominem, et dicant: 16He could not bring the people into the land for which he had sworn, therefore did he kill them in the wilderness.Ei non avea possanza per introdurli nella terra, che avea loro promessa con giuramento: per questo nel deserto gli ha uccisi.He could not bring in the people into the Land, for which he had sworne: therfore did he kil them in the wildernesse.Non poterat introducere populum in terram pro qua juraverat: idcirco occidit eos in solitudine ? 17Let then the strength of the Lord be magnified, as thou hast sworn, saying:Si glorifichi adunque la fortezza del Signore, come tu giurasti, dicendo:Let therfore the strength of our Lord be magnified as thou hast sworne, saying:Magnificetur ergo fortitudo Domini sicut jurasti, dicens: 18The Lord is patient and full of mercy, by taking away iniquity and wickedness, and leaving no man clear, who visitest the sins of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.Il Signore paziente, e di molta misericordia, che toglie le iniquità, e le scelleraggini, e nissuno lascia impunito: tu, che visiti i peccati de' padri sopra i figliuoli sino alla terza e quarta generazione,The Lord is patient and ful of mercie, taking away iniquitie and wicked deedes, & leauing no man innocent, which visitest the sinnes of the fathers vpon the children vnto the third and fourth generation.Dominus patiens et multæ misericordiæ, auferens iniquitatem et scelera, nullumque innoxium derelinquens, qui visitas peccata patrum in filios in tertiam et quartam generationem.

19Forgive, I beseech thee, the sins of this people, according to the greatness of thy mercy, as thou hast been merciful to them from their going out of Egypt unto this place.Perdona, ti prego, secondo la misericordia tua grande, il peccato di questo popolo, come fosti propizio a costoro, dacché uscirono dall'Egitto fino a questo luogo.Forgeue, I besech thee, the sinne of this thy people, according to the greatnes of thy mercie, as thou hast bene propitious to them since their going out of Aegypt vnto this place.Dimitte, obsecro, peccatum populi hujus secundum magnitudinem misericordiæ tuæ, sicut propitius fuisti egredientibus de Ægypto usque ad locum istum. 20And the Lord said: I have forgiven according to thy word.E il Signore disse: Ho perdonato secondo la tua parola.And our Lord said: I haue forgeuen it according to thy word.Dixitque Dominus: Dimisi juxta verbum tuum. 21As I live: and the whole earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord.Io giuro, che della gloria del Signore sarà ripiena tutta quanta la terra.Liue I: and the whole earth shal be replenished with the glorie of the Lord.Vivo ego: et implebitur gloria Domini universa terra. 22But yet all the men that have seen my majesty, and the signs that I have done in Egypt, and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now ten times, and have not obeyed my voice,Tutti però quegli uomini, i quali hanno veduto la mia maestà, e i prodigi fatti da me nell'Egitto, e nel deserto, e mi hanno a quest'ora tentato per dieci volte, e non hanno obbedito alla mia voce,But yet al the men that haue sene my maiestie, and the signes that I haue done in Aegypt, and in the wildernesse, and haue tempred me now ten times, neither haue obeied my voice,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, 23Shall not see the land for which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any one of them that hath detracted me behold it.Non vedranno la terra promessa da me con giuramento a' padri loro, né alcuno di quelli che mi hanno oltraggiato, la mirerà.they shal not see the Land for the which I sware to their fathers, neither shal any of them that hath detracted me, behold it.non videbunt terram pro qua juravi patribus eorum, nec quisquam ex illis qui detraxit mihi, intuebitur eam. 24My servant Caleb, who being full of another spirit hath followed me, I will bring into this land which he hath gone round: and his seed shall possess it.Il servo mio Caleb, il quale pieno d'altro spirito mi ha seguitato, lo introdurrò io nella terra, che egli ha scorsa: e la discendenza di lui ne avrà il dominio.My seruant Caleb, who being ful of an other spirit hath folowed me, wil I bring in vnto this Land which he hath circuted: and his seede shal possesse it.Servum meum Caleb, qui plenus alio spiritu secutus est me, inducam in terram hanc, quam circuivit; et semen ejus possidebit eam.

25For the Amalecite and the Chanaanite dwell in the valleys. To morrow remove the camp, and return into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea.Perché gli Amaleciti, e i Cananei stanno nelle valli, domani movete il campo, e tornate nella solitudine verso il mar Rosso.Because the Amalecite and the Cananeite dwel in the valleis. To morrow remoue the campe, and returne into the wildernesse by the way of the Redde sea.Quoniam Amalecites et Chananæus habitant in vallibus. Cras movete castra, et revertimini in solitudinem per viam maris Rubri. 26And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:E il Signore parlò a Mosè ed Aronne e disse:And our Lord spake to Moyses and Aaron, saying:Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen et Aaron, dicens: 27How long doth this wicked multitude murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel.Fino a quando questa gente pessima mormorerà contro di me? io ho, udito le querele de' figliuoli d'Israele.How long doth this vngratious multitude murmur against me? I haue heard the complaintes of the children of Israel.Usquequo multitudo hæc pessima murmurat contra me ? querelas filiorum Israël audivi. 28Say therefore to them: As I live, saith the Lord: According as you have spoken in my hearing, so will I do to you.Di' loro adunque: Io giuro, dice il Signore: io farò a voi quello appuntino, che ho sentito dire da voi.Say therfore to them: liue I, sayeth our Lord: According as you haue spoken I hearing it, so wil I do to you.Dic ergo eis: Vivo ego, ait Dominus: sicut locuti estis audiente me, sic faciam vobis. 29In the wilderness shall your carcasses lie. All you that were numbered from twenty years old and upward, and have murmured against me,In questo deserto giaceranno i vostri cadaveri. Tutti voi, i quali siete stati contati dal ventesimo anno in poi, e avete mormorato contro di me,In this wildernesse shal your carcasses lie. Al you that are numbered from twentie yeares & vpward, and haue murmured against me,In solitudine hac jacebunt cadavera vestra. Omnes qui numerati estis a viginti annis et supra, et murmurastis contra me, 30Shall not enter into the land, over which I lifted up my hand to make you dwell therein, except Caleb the son of Jephone, and Josue the son of Nun.Non entrerete nella terra, nella quale giurai di farvi abitare, eccettuato Caleb figliuolo di Jephone, e Giosuè figliuolo di Nun.you shal not enter into the Land, ouer the which I haue lifted vp my hand to make you inhabite it, except Caleb the sonne of Iephone, and Iosue the sonne of Nun.non intrabitis terram, super quam levavi manum meam ut habitare vos facerem, præter Caleb filium Jephone, et Josue filium Nun.

31But your children, of whom you said, that they should be a prey to the enemies, will I bring in: that they may see the land which you have despised.Ma io vi condurrò i vostri figliuoli, i quali avete detto, che sarebbono stati preda de' nemici, affinché veggano la terra, la quale è a voi dispiaciuta.But your litle ones, of whom you said, that they should be a pray to the enemies, wil I bring in: that they may see the Land, that hath misliked you.Parvulos autem vestros, de quibus dixistis quod prædæ hostibus forent, introducam, ut videant terram, quæ vobis displicuit. 32Your carcasses shall lie in the wilderness.I vostri cadaveri giaceranno nella solitudine.Your carcasses shal lie in the wildernesse.Vestra cadavera jacebunt in solitudine. 33Your children shall wander in the desert forty years, and shall bear your fornication, until the carcasses of their fathers be consumed in the desert,I vostri figliuoli saran raminghi per quarant'anni nel deserto, e pagheranno il fio della vostra infedeltà, fino a tanto che sieno nel deserto consunti i cadaveri de' genitori,Your children shal wander in the desert fourtie yeares, and shal beare your fornication, vntil the carcasses of their fathers be consumed in the desert,Filii vestri erunt vagi in deserto annis quadraginta, et portabunt fornicationem vestram, donec consumantur cadavera patrum in deserto, 34According to the number of the forty days, wherein you viewed the land: a year shall be counted for a day. And forty years you shall receive your iniquities, and shall know my revenge:Secondo il numero dei quaranta giorni impiegati a considerare quella terra: si conterà un anno per un giorno. E per quaranta anni pagherete il fio delle vostre iniquità, e vedrete la mia vendetta:according to the number of the fourtie daies, wherin you viewed the Land: a yeare shal be reputed for a day. And fourtie yeares you shal receiue your iniquities, and shal know my reuenge:juxta numerum quadraginta dierum, quibus considerastis terram: annus pro die imputabitur. Et quadraginta annis recipietis iniquitates vestras, et scietis ultionem meam: 35For as I have spoken, so will I do to all this wicked multitude, that hath risen up together against me: in this wilderness shall it faint away and die.Perocché nel modo, che ho detto, tratterò io questa pessima generazione, la quale si è inalberata contro di me: verrà meno, e perirà in questo deserto.for as I haue spoken, so wil I doe to al this wicked multitude, that hath risen togeather against me: in this wildernesse shal it faile, and die.quoniam sicut locutus sum, ita faciam omni multitudini huic pessimæ, quæ consurrexit adversum me: in solitudine hac deficiet, et morietur.

36Therefore all the men, whom Moses had sent to view the land, and who at their return had made the whole multitude to murmur against him, speaking ill of the land that it was naught,Quindi è, che tutti quegli, i quali erano stati spediti da Mosè a contemplar quella terra, ei quali dopo il ritorno erano stati causa, che tutta la moltitudine mormorasse contro Mosè, perché aveano screditata la terra, come cattiva,Therfore al the men, whom Moyses had sent to view the Land, and which returning had made al the multitude to murmur against him, detracting from the Land that it was naught,Igitur omnes viri, quos miserat Moyses ad contemplandam terram, et qui reversi murmurare fecerant contra eum omnem multitudinem, detrahentes terræ quod esset mala, 37Died and were struck in the sight of the Lord.Perirono flagellati immantinente dal Signore.died and were stroken in the sight of our Lord.mortui sunt atque percussi in conspectu Domini. 38But Josue the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephone lived, of all them that had gone to view the land.E Giosuè figliuolo di Nun, e Caleb figliuolo di Jephone rimasero vivi tra tutti quelli che erano andati a visitare la terra.But Iosue the sonne of Nun, and Caleb the sonne of Iephone liued of al them, that had gone to view the Land.Josue autem filius Nun, et Caleb filius Jephone, vixerunt ex omnibus qui perrexerant ad considerandam terram. 39And Moses spoke all these words to all the children of Israel, and the people mourned exceedingly.E Mosè riferì tutte quelle parole a tutti i figliuoli d'Israele, e il popolo pianse inconsolabilmente.And Moyses spake al these wordes to al the children of Israel, and the people mourned excedingly.Locutusque est Moyses universa verba hæc ad omnes filios Israël, et luxit populus nimis. 40And behold rising up very early in the morning, they went up to the top of the mountain, and said: We are ready to go up to the place, of which the Lord hath spoken: for we have sinned.Ed ecco che il dì seguente al primo albore salirono sulla cima del monte, e dissero: Noi siamo pronti di andare al luogo, di cui ha parlato il Signore: perché noi abbiam peccato.And behold very early in the morning rising they went vp to the toppe of the mountaine, and said: We are readie to goe vp to the place, wherof our Lord hath spoken: for we haue sinned.Et ecce mane primo surgentes ascenderunt verticem montis, atque dixerunt: Parati sumus ascendere ad locum, de quo Dominus locutus est: quia peccavimus. 41And Moses said to them: Why transgress you the word of the Lord, which shall not succeed prosperously with you?Mosè disse loro: Perché trasgredite voi la parola del Signore, la qual cosa non vi riuscirà bene?To whom Moyses said: Why transgresse you the word of our Lord, which shal not suceede prosperousely with you?Quibus Moyses: Cur, inquit, transgredimini verbum Domini, quod vobis non cedet in prosperum ?

42Go not up, for the Lord is not with you: lest you fall before your enemies.Guardatevi dall'andare: perché il Signore non è con voi: affinché non cadiate per terra al cospetto dei vostri nemici.Goe not vp, for our Lord is not with you: lest you fal before your enemies.nolite ascendere: non enim est Dominus vobiscum: ne corruatis coram inimicis vestris. 43The Amalecite and the Chanaanite are before you, and by their sword you shall fall, because you would not consent to the Lord, neither will the Lord be with you.Voi avete a fronte l'Amalecita, e il Cananeo, la spada de' quali vi abbatterà, perché non avete voluto obbedire al Signore e il Signore non sarà con voi.The Amalecite and the Chananeite are before you, by whose sword you shal fal, for that you would not consent to our Lord, neither wil our Lord be with you.Amalecites et Chananæus ante vos sunt, quorum gladio corruetis, eo quod nolueritis acquiescere Domino: nec erit Dominus vobiscum. 44But they being blinded went up to the top of the mountain. But the ark of the testament of the Lord and Moses departed not from the camp.Ma quegli, essendo accecati, salirono sulla cima del monte. Ma l'arca del testamento del Signore, e Mosè non partirono dagli alloggiamenti.But they being blinded went vp to the toppe of the mountaine. But the arke of the testament of our Lord & Moyses departed not from the campe.At illi contenebrati ascenderunt in verticem montis. Arca autem testamenti Domini et Moyses non recesserunt de castris. 45And the Amalecite came down, and the Chanaanite that dwelt in the mountain: and smiting and slaying them pursued them as far as Horma.E si mosse l'Amalecita, e il Cananeo, che abitava la montagna: e avendogli assaliti, e messia fil di spada, gl'inseguì alle spalle insino ad Horma.And the Amalecite came downe and the Cananeite, that dwelt in the mountaine: and striking and hewing them, pursewed them as farre as Horma.Descenditque Amalecites et Chananæus, qui habitabat in monte: et percutiens eos atque concidens, persecutus est eos usque Horma.
