| 29 | Dixitque Moyses Hobab filio Raguel Madianitæ, cognato suo: Proficiscimur ad locum quem Dominus daturus est nobis: veni nobiscum, ut benefaciamus tibi, quia Dominus bona promisit Israëli. |
And Moises seide to Heliab, the sone of Raguel, of Madian, his alie ethir fadir of his wijf, We goon forth to the place which the Lord schal yyue to vs; come thou with vs, that we do wel to thee, for the Lord bihiyte goode thingis to Israel. |
And Moses said to Hobab the son of Raguel the Madianite, his kinsman: We are going towards the place which the Lord will give us: come with us, that we may do thee good : for the Lord hath promised good things to Israel. | |
| 30 | Cui ille respondit: Non vadam tecum, sed revertar in terram meam, in qua natus sum. |
To whom he answeride, Y schal not go with thee, but Y schal turne ayen in to my lond, in which Y was borun. |
But he answered him: I will not go with thee, but I will return to my country, wherein I was born. | |
| 31 | Et ille: Noli, inquit, nos relinquere: tu enim nosti in quibus locis per desertum castra ponere debeamus, et eris ductor noster. |
And Moises seide, Nyle thou forsake vs, for thou knowist in whiche places we owen to sette tentis, and thou schalt be oure ledere; |
And he said: Do not leave us: for thou knowest in what places we should encamp in the wilderness, and thou shalt be our guide. | |
| 32 | Cumque nobiscum veneris, quidquid optimum fuerit ex opibus, quas nobis traditurus est Dominus, dabimus tibi. |
and whanne thou schalt come with vs, what euer thing schal be the beste of the richessis whiche the Lord schal yyue to vs, we schulen yyue to thee. |
And if thou comest with us, we will give thee what is the best of the riches which the Lord shall deliver to us. | |
| 33 | Profecti sunt ergo de monte Domini viam trium dierum, arcaque fœderis Domini præcedebat eos, per dies tres providens castrorum locum. |
And therfor thei yeden forth fro the hil of the Lord the weie of thre daies; and the arke of boond of pees of the Lord yede bifor hem, bi thre daies, and purueyde the place of tentis. |
So they marched from the mount of the Lord three days' journey, and the ark of the covenant of the Lord went before them, for three days providing a place for the camp. | The ark and the cloud of guidance. Nu.10.33-36 |

And the cloude of the Lord was on hem bi day, whanne thei yeden. |
The cloud also of the Lord was over them by day when they marched. | |
| 35 | Cumque elevaretur arca, dicebat Moyses: Surge, Domine, et dissipentur inimici tui, et fugiant qui oderunt te, a facie tua. |
And whanne the arke was reisid, Moises seide, Ryse thou, Lord, and thin enemyes be scaterid, and thei that haten thee, fle fro thi face; |
And when the ark was lifted up, Moses said: Arise, O Lord, and let thy enemies be scattered, and let them that hate thee, flee from before thy face. | |
| 36 | Cum autem deponeretur, aiebat: Revertere, Domine, ad multitudinem exercitus Israël. |
forsothe whanne the arke was put doun, he seide, Lord, turne ayen to the multitude of the oost of Israel. |
And when it was set down, he said: Return, O Lord, to the multitude of the host of Israel. | |
| 1 | Interea ortum est murmur populi, quasi dolentium pro labore, contra Dominum. Quod cum audisset Dominus, iratus est. Et accensus in eos ignis Domini, devoravit extremam castrorum partem. |
Yn the meene tyme the grutchyng of the puple, as of men sorewynge for trauel, roos ayens the Lord. And whanne Moises hadde herd this thing, he was wrooth; and the fier of the Lord was kyndelid on hem, and deuouride the laste part of the tentis. |
In the mean time there arose a murmuring of the people against the Lord, as it were repining at their fatigue. And when the Lord heard it he was angry. And the fire of the Lord being kindled against them, devoured them that were at the uttermost part of the camp. | Taberah. Nu.11.1-3 |
| 2 | Cumque clamasset populus ad Moysen, oravit Moyses ad Dominum, et absorptus est ignis. |
And whanne the puple hadde cried to Moises, Moises preiede the Lord, and the fier was quenchid. |
And when the people cried to Moses, Moses prayed to the Lord, and the fire was swallowed up. | |
| 3 | Vocavitque nomen loci illius, Incensio: eo quod incensus fuisset contra eos ignis Domini. |
And he clepid the name of that place Brennyng, for the fier of the Lord was kyndlid ayens hem. |
And he called the name of that place, The burning: for that the fire of the Lord had been kindled against them. | |
| 4 | Vulgus quippe promiscuum, quod ascenderat cum eis, flagravit desiderio, sedens et flens, junctis sibi pariter filiis Israël, et ait: Quis dabit nobis ad vescendum carnes? |
And the comyn puple of malis and femalis, that hadde stied with hem, brent with desire of fleischis, and sat, and wepte with the sones of Israel ioyned togidere to hem, and seide, Who schal yyue to vs fleischis to ete? |
For a mixt multitude of people, that came up with them, burned with desire, sitting and weeping, the children of Israel also being joined with them, and said: Who shall give us flesh to eat? | Appointment of the seventy. Nu.11.4-30 |
| 5 | recordamur piscium quos comedebamus in Ægypto gratis: in mentem nobis veniunt cucumeres, et pepones, porrique, et cæpe, et allia. |
We thenken on the fischis whiche we eten in Egipt freli; gourdis, and melouns, and lekis, and oyniouns, and garlekis comen in to mynde to vs; |
We remember the Ash that we ate in Egypt free cost: the cucumbers come into our mind, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic. | |
| 6 | Anima nostra arida est: nihil aliud respiciunt oculi nostri nisi man. |
oure soule is drie; oure iyen byholden noon other thing no but manna. |
Our soul is dry, our eyes behold nothing else but manna. | |
| 7 | Erat autem man quasi semen coriandri, coloris bdellii. |
Forsothe manna was as the seed of coriaundre, of the colour of bdellyum, which is whijt and briyt as cristal. |
A Now the manna was like coriander seed, of the colour of bdellium. | |
| 8 | Circuibatque populus, et colligens illud, frangebat mola, sive terebat in mortario, coquens in olla, et faciens ex eo tortulas saporis quasi panis oleati. |
And the puple yede aboute, and gaderide it, and brak with a queerne stoon, ether pownede in a morter, and sethide in a pot; and made therof litle cakis of the sauour, as of breed maad with oile. |
And the people went about, and gathering it, ground it in a mill, or beat it in a mortar, and boiled it in a pot, and made cakes thereof of the taste of bread tempered with oil. | |
| 9 | Cumque descenderet nocte super castra ros, descendebat pariter et man. |
And whanne dew cam doun in the niyt on the tentis, also manna cam doun togidere. |
and when the dew fell in the night upon the camp, the manna also fell with it. | |
| 10 | Audivit ergo Moyses flentem populum per familias, singulos per ostia tentorii sui. Iratusque est furor Domini valde: sed et Moysi intoleranda res visa est, |
Therfor Moises herde the puple wepynge bi meynees, and alle bi hem silf bi the doris of her tentis; and the woodnesse of the Lord was wrooth greetli, but also the thing was seyn vnsuffrable to Moises. |
Now Moses heard the people weeping by their families, every one at the door of his tent. And the wrath of the Lord was exceedingly enkindled: to Moses also the thing seemed insupportable. | |
| 11 | et ait ad Dominum: Cur afflixisti servum tuum? quare non invenio gratiam coram te? et cur imposuisti pondus universi populi hujus super me? |
And he seide to the Lord, Whi hast thou turmentid thi seruaunt? whi fynde Y not grace bifor thee? and whi hast thou put on me the burthun of al this puple? |
And he said to the Lord: Why hast thou afflicted thy servant? wherefore do I not find favour before thee? and why hast thou laid the weight of all this people upon me ? | |
| 12 | Numquid ego concepi omnem hanc multitudinem, vel genui eam, ut dicas mihi: Porta eos in sinu tuo sicut portare solet nutrix infantulum, et defer in terram, pro qua jurasti patribus eorum? |
whethir Y conseyuede al this multitude, ethir gendride it, that thou seie to me, Bere thou hem in thi bosum as a nurise is wont to bere a litil yong child, and bere thou in to the lond for which thou hast swore to the fadris of hem. |
Have I conceived all this multitude, or begotten them, that thou shouldst say to me: Carry them in thy bosom as the nurse is wont to carry the little infant, and bear them into the land, for which thou hast sworn to their fathers? | |
| 13 | Unde mihi carnes ut dem tantæ multitudini? flent contra me, dicentes: Da nobis carnes ut comedamus. |
wherof ben fleischis to me, that Y yyue to so greet multitude? Thei wepen bifore me, and seyn, Yyue thou fleischis to vs that we ete; |
Whence should I have flesh to give to so great a multitude? they weep against me, saying: Give us flesh that we may eat. | |
| 14 | Non possum solus sustinere omnem hunc populum, quia gravis est mihi. |
I mai not aloone suffre al this puple, for it is greuouse to me. |
I am not able alone to bear all this people, because it is too heavy for me. | |
| 15 | Sin aliter tibi videtur, obsecro ut interficias me, et inveniam gratiam in oculis tuis, ne tantis afficiar malis. |
If in other maner it semeth to thee, Y biseche that thou sle me, and that Y fynde grace in thin iyen, that Y be not punyschid bi so grete yuelis. |
But if it seem unto thee otherwise, I beseech thee to kill me, and let me find grace in thy eyes, that I be not afflicted with so great evils. | |
| 16 | Et dixit Dominus ad Moysen: Congrega mihi septuaginta viros de senibus Israël, quos tu nosti quod senes populi sint ac magistri: et duces eos ad ostium tabernaculi fœderis, faciesque ibi stare tecum, |
And the Lord seide to Moises, Gadere thou to me seuenti men of the eldre men of Israel, whiche thou knowist, that thei ben the elde men and maistris of the puple; and thou schalt lede hem to the dore of the tabernacle of boond of pees, and thou schalt make to stonde there with thee, |
And the Lord said to Moses: Gather unto me seventy men of the ancients of Israel, whom thou knowest to be ancients and masters of the people: and thou shalt bring them to the door of the tabernacle of the covenant, and shalt make them stand there with thee, | |
| 17 | ut descendam et loquar tibi: et auferam de spiritu tuo, tradamque eis, ut sustentent tecum onus populi, et non tu solus graveris. |
that Y come doun, and speke to thee; and Y schal take awey of thi spirit, and Y schal yyue to hem, that thei susteyne with thee the birthun of the puple, and not thou aloone be greuyd. |
That I may come down and speak with thee: and I will take of thy spirit, and will give to them, that they may bear with thee the burden of the people, and thou mayest not be burthened alone. | |
| 18 | Populo quoque dices: Sanctificamini (cras comedetis carnes: ego enim audivi vos dicere: Quis dabit nobis escas carnium? bene nobis erat in Ægypto), ut det vobis Dominus carnes, et comedatis: |
And thou schalt seie to the puple, Be ye halewid; to morew ye schulen ete fleischis; for Y herde you seie, Who schal yyue to vs the metis of fleischis? it was wel to vs in Egipt; that the Lord yyue fleischis to you, |
And thou shalt say to the people: Be ye sanctified : to morrow you shall eat flesh: for I have heard you say: Who will give us flesh to eat? it was well with us in Egypt. That the Lord may give you flesh, and you may eat: | |
| 19 | non uno die, nec duobus, vel quinque aut decem, nec viginti quidem, |
and that ye ete not o dai, ethir tweyne, ethir fyue, ethir ten, sotheli nether twenti, |
Not for one day, nor two, nor five, nor ten, no nor for twenty. | |
| 20 | sed usque ad mensem dierum, donec exeat per nares vestras, et vertatur in nauseam, eo quod replueritis Dominum, qui in medio vestri est, et fleveritis coram eo, dicentes: Quare egressi sumus ex Ægypto? |
but til to a monethe of daies, til it go out bi youre nosethirlis, and turne in to wlatyng; for ye han put awei the Lord, which is in the myddis of you, and ye wepten bifor hym, and seiden, Whi yeden we out of Egipt? |
But even for a month of days, till it come out at your nostrils, and become loathsome to you, because you have cast off the Lord, who is in the midst of you, and have wept before him, saying: Why came we out of Egypt? | |
| 21 | Et ait Moyses: Sexcenta millia peditum hujus populi sunt: et tu dicis: Dabo eis esum carnium mense integro? |
And Moises seide to the Lord, Sixe hundrid thousynde of foot men ben of this puple, and thou seist, Y schal yyue to hem mete of fleischis an hool monethe. |
And Moses said: There are six hundred thousand footmen of this people, and sayest thou: I will give them flesh to eat a whole month? | |
| 22 | numquid ovium et boum multitudo cædetur, ut possit sufficere ad cibum? vel omnes pisces maris in unum congregabuntur, ut eos satient? |
Whether the multitude of scheep and of oxun schal be slayn, that it may suffice to mete, ethir alle the fischis of the see schulen be gaderid to gidere, that tho fille hem? |
Shall then a multitude of sheep and oxen be killed, that it may suffice for their food? or shall the fishes of the sea be gathered together to fill them? | |
| 23 | Cui respondit Dominus: Numquid manus Domini invalida est? jam nunc videbis utrum meus sermo opere compleatur. |
To whom the Lord answeride, Whether the hond of the Lord is vnmyyti? riyt now thou schalt se, wher my word schal be fillid in werk. |
And the Lord answered him: Is the hand of the Lord unable? Thou shalt presently see whether my word shall come to pass or no. | |
| 24 | Venit igitur Moyses, et narravit populo verba Domini, congregans septuaginta viros de senibus Israël, quos stare fecit circa tabernaculum. |
Therfor Moises cam, and telde to the puple the wordis of the Lord; and he gaderide seuenti men of the eldere of Israel, whiche he made stonde aboute the tabernacle. |
Moses therefore came, and told the people the words of the Lord, and assembled seventy men of the ancients of Israel, and made them to stand about the tabernacle. | |
| 25 | Descenditque Dominus per nubem, et locutus est ad eum, auferens de spiritu qui erat in Moyse, et dans septuaginta viris. Cumque requievisset in eis spiritus, prophetaverunt, nec ultra cessaverunt. |
And the Lord cam doun bi a cloude, and spak to Moises, and took a weye of the spirit that was in Moises, and yaf to the seuenti men; and whanne the spirit hadde restid in hem, thei profesieden, and ceessiden not aftirward. |
And the Lord came down in a cloud, and spoke to him, taking away of the spirit that was in Moses, and giving to the seventy men. And when the spirit had rested on them they prophesied, nor did they cease afterwards. | |
| 26 | Remanserat autem in castris duo viri, quorum unus vocabatur Eldad, et alter Medad, super quos requievit spiritus. Nam et ipsi descripti fuerant, et non exierant ad tabernaculum. |
Forsothe twei men dwelliden stille in the tentis, of whiche men oon was clepid Heldad, and the tothir Medad, on whiche the spirit restide; for also thei weren descryued, and thei yeden not out to the tabernacle. |
Now there remained in the camp two of the men, of whom one was called Eldad, and the other Medad, upon whom the spirit rested; for they also had been enrolled, but were not gone forth to the tabernacle. | |
| 27 | Cumque prophetarent in castris, cucurrit puer, et nuntiavit Moysi, dicens: Eldad et Medad prophetant in castris. |
And whanne thei profesieden in the tentis, a child ran, and teld to Moises, and seide, Heldad and Medad profecien in the tentis. |
And when they prophesied in the camp, there ran a young man, and told Moses, saying: Eldad and Medad prophesy in the camp. | |
| 28 | Statim Josue filius Nun, minister Moysi, et electus e pluribus, ait: Domine mi Moyses, prohibe eos. |
Anoon Josue, the sone of Nun, the mynystre of Moises, and chosun of manye, seide, My lord Moises, forbede thou hem. |
Forthwith Josue the son of Nun, the minister of Moses, and chosen out of many, said: My lord Moses forbid them. | |
| 29 | At ille: Quid, inquit æmularis pro me? quis tribuat ut omnis populus prophetet, et det eis Dominus spiritum suum? |
And he seide, What hast thou enuye for me? who yyueth that al the puple profesie, and that God yyue his spirit to hem? |
But he said: Why hast thou emulation for me? O that all the people might prophesy, and that the Lord would give them his spirit! | |
| 30 | Reversusque est Moyses, et majores natu Israël in castra. |
And Moises turnede ayen, and the eldre men in birthe of Israel in to the tentis. |
And Moses returned, with the ancients of Israel, into the camp. | |
| 31 | Ventus autem egrediens a Domino, arreptans trans mare coturnices detulit, et demisit in castra itinere quantum uno die confici potest, ex omni parte castrorum per circuitum, volabantque in aëre duobus cubitis altitudine super terram. |
Forsothe a wynde yede forth fro the Lord, and took curlewis, and bar ouer the see, and lefte in to the tentis, in the iurney, as myche as mai be parformed in o day, bi ech part of the tentis bi cumpas; and tho flowen in the eir bi twei cubitis in hiynesse ouer the erthe. |
And a wind going out from the Lord, taking quails up beyond the sea brought them, and cast them into the camp for the space of one day's journey, on every side of the camp round about, and they flew in the air two cubits high above the ground. | Quails. Nu.11.31-35 |
| 32 | Surgens ergo populus toto die illo, et nocte, ac die altero, congregavit coturnicum: qui parum, decem coros: et siccaverunt eas per gyrum castrorum. |
Therfor the puple roos in al that dai and nyyt and in to the tothir dai, and gaderide the multitude of curlewis; he that gaderide litil, gaderide ten mesuris clepid chorus; and o chorus conteyneth ten buschels; and thei drieden tho curlewis bi the cumpas of the tentis. |
The people therefore rising up all that day, and night, and the next day, gathered together of quails, he that did least, ten cores: and they dried them round about the camp. | |
| 33 | Adhuc carnes erant in dentibus eorum, nec defecerat hujuscemodi cibus: et ecce furor Domini concitatus in populum, percussit eum plaga magna nimis. |
Yit fleischis weren in the teeth of hem, and siche mete failide not; and lo! the woodnesse of the Lord was reisid ayens the puple, and smoot it with a ful greet veniaunce. |
As yet the flesh was between their teeth, neither had that kind of meat failed: when behold the wrath of the Lord being provoked against the people, struck them with an exceeding great plague. | |
| 34 | Vocatusque est ille locus, Sepulchra concupiscentiæ: ibi enim sepelierunt populum qui desideraverat. Egressi autem de Sepulchris concupiscentiæ, venerunt in Haseroth, et manserunt ibi. |
And thilke place was clepid The sepulcris of coueitise, for there thei birieden the puple that desiride fleischis. Sotheli thei yeden out of the sepulcris of coueitise, and camen in to Asseroth, and dwelliden there. |
And that place was called, The graves of lust: for there they buried the people that had lusted. And departing from the graves of lust, they came unto Haseroth, and abode there. | |
| 1 | Locutaque est Maria et Aaron contra Moysen propter uxorem ejus Æthiopissam, |
And Marie spak and Aaron ayens Moises, for his wijf a womman of Ethiope, |
And Mary and Aaron spoke against Moses, because of his wife the Ethiopian, | Snow-white Miriam. Nu.12.1-16 |
| 2 | et dixerunt: Num per solum Moysen locutus est Dominus? nonne et nobis similiter est locutus? Quod cum audisset Dominus |
and seiden, Whethir God spak oneli by Moises? whethir he spak not also to vs in lijk maner? And whanne the Lord hadde herd this, he was wrooth greetli; |
And they said: Hath the Lord spoken by Moses only? hath he not also spoken to us in like manner? And when the Lord heard this, | |
| 3 | (erat enim Moyses vir mitissimus super omnes homines qui morabantur in terra), |
for Moises was the myldest man, ouer alle men that dwelliden in erthe. |
(For Moses was a man exceeding meek above all men that dwelt upon earth) | |
| 4 | statim locutus est ad eum, et ad Aaron et Mariam: Egredimini vos tantum tres ad tabernaculum fœderis. Cumque fuissent egressi, |
And anoon the Lord spak to Moises and to Aaron and to Marye, Go out ye thre aloone to the tabernacle of boond of pees. And whanne thei weren gon yn, |
Immediately he spoke to him, and to Aaron and Mary: Come out you three only to the tabernacle of the covenant. And when they were come out, | |
| 5 | descendit Dominus in columna nubis, et stetit in introitu tabernaculi, vocans Aaron et Mariam. Qui cum issent, |
the Lord cam doun in a piler of cloude, and he stood in the entryng of the tabernacle, and clepide Aaron and Marie. |
The Lord came down in a pillar of the cloud, and stood in the entry of the tabernacle calling to Aaron and Mary. And when they were come, | |
| 6 | dixit ad eos: Audite sermones meos: si quis fuerit inter vos propheta Domini, in visione apparebo ei, vel per somnium loquar ad illum. |
And whanne thei hadden go, he seide to hem, Here ye my wordis; if ony among you is a profete of the Lord, Y schal appere to hym in reuelacioun, ethir Y schal speke to hym bi a dreem. |
He said to them: Hear my words: if there be among you a prophet of the Lord, I will appear to him in a vision, or I will speak to him in a dream. | |
| 7 | At non talis servus meus Moyses, qui in omni domo mea fidelissimus est: |
And he seide, And my seruaunt Moises is not siche, which is moost feithful in al myn hows; |
But it is not so with my servant Moses a who is most faithful in all my house: | |
| 8 | ore enim ad os loquor ei: et palam, et non per ænigmata et figuras Dominum videt. Quare ergo non timuistis detrahere servo meo Moysi? |
for Y speke to hym mouth to mouth, and he seeth God opynli, and not bi derke spechis and figuris. Why therfor dredden ye not to bacbite ether depraue my seruaunt Moises? |
For I speak to him mouth to mouth: and plainly, and not by riddles and figures doth he see the Lord. Why then were you not afraid to speak ill of my servant Moses? | |
| 9 | Iratusque contra eos, abiit: |
And the Lord was wrooth ayens hem, and he wente a wei. |
And being angry with them he went away: | |
| 10 | nubes quoque recessit quæ erat super tabernaculum: et ecce Maria apparuit candens lepra quasi nix. Cumque respexisset eam Aaron, et vidisset perfusam lepra, |
And the cloude yede awei, that was on the tabernacle and lo! Marie apperide whijt with lepre as snow. And whanne Aaron biheelde hir, and siy hir bispreynd with lepre, |
The cloud also that was over the tabernacle departed: and behold Mary appeared white as snow with a leprosy. And when Aaron had looked on her, and saw her all covered with leprosy, | |
| 11 | ait ad Moysen: Obsecro, domine mi, ne imponas nobis hoc peccatum quod stulte commisimus, |
he seide to Moises, My lord, Y beseche, putte thou not this synne on vs, |
He said to Moses: I beseech thee, my lord, lay not upon us this sin, which we have foolishly committed: | |
| 12 | ne fiat hæc quasi mortua, et ut abortivum quod projicitur de vulva matris suæ: ecce jam medium carnis ejus devoratum est a lepra. |
which we diden folili, that this womman be not maad as deed, and as a deed borun thing which is cast out of the wombe of his modir; lo! now the half of hir fleisch is deuourid with lepre. |
Let her not be as one dead, and as an abortive that is cast forth from the mother's womb. Lo, now one half of her flesh is consumed with the leprosy. | |
| 13 | Clamavitque Moyses ad Dominum, dicens: Deus, obsecro, sana eam. |
And Moises criede to the Lord, and seide, Lord, Y biseche, heele thou hir. |
And Moses cried to the Lord, saying: O God, I beseech thee heal her. | |
| 14 | Cui respondit Dominus: Si pater ejus spuisset in faciem illius, nonne debuerat saltem septem diebus rubore suffundi? separetur septem diebus extra castra, et postea revocabitur. |
To whom the Lord answerid, If hir fadir hadde spet in to hir face, where sche ouyte not to be fillid with schame, nameli in seuene daies? Therfor be sche departid out of the tentis bi seuen daies, and aftirward sche schal be clepid ayen. |
And the Lord answered him: If her father had spitten upon her face, ought she not to have been ashamed for seven days at least? Let her be separated seven days without the camp, and after wards she shall be called again. | |
| 15 | Exclusa est itaque Maria extra castra septem diebus: et populus non est motus de loco illo, donec revocata est Maria. |
And so Marie was excludid out of the tentis bi seuene daies; and the puple was not mouyd fro that place, til Marie was clepid ayen. |
Mary therefore was put out of the camp seven days : and the people moved not from that place until Mary was called again. | |
| 1 | Profectusque est populus de Haseroth, fixis tentoriis in deserto Pharan. |
And the puple yede forth fro Asseroth, whanne the tentis weren set in the deseert of Pharan. |
And the people marched from Haseroth, and pitched their tents in the desert of Pharan. | |
| 2 | Ibique locutus est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens: |
And there the Lord spak to Moises, |
And there the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: | Spies. Nu.13.1-33 |
| 3 | Mitte viros, qui considerent terram Chanaan, quam daturus sum filiis Israël, singulos de singulis tribubus, ex principibus. |
and seide, Sende thou men that schulen biholde the lond of Canaan, which Y schal yyue to the sones of Israel, of ech lynage o man of the princes. |
Send men to view the land of Chanaan, which I will give to the children of Israel, one of every tribe, of the rulers. | |

Forsothe other aspieris, that weren with hym, seiden, We moun not stie to this puple, for it is strongere than we. |
But the others, that had been with him, said: No, we are not able to go up to this people, because they are stronger than we. | |

And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron, saying: | |
| 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? |
We wolden that we hadden be deed in Egipt, and not in this waast wildirnesse; we wolden that we perischen, and that the Lord lede vs not in to this lond, lest we fallen bi swerd, and oure wyues and fre children ben led prisoneris; whether it is not betere to turne ayen in to Egipt? |
Would 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? | |
| 4 | Dixeruntque alter ad alterum: Constituamus nobis ducem, et revertamur in Ægyptum. |
And thei seiden oon to another, Ordeyne we a duyk to vs, and turne we ayen in to Egipt. |
And they said one to another: Let us appoint a captain, and let us return into Egypt. | |

And whanne this was herd, Moises and Aaron felden lowe to erthe, bifor al the multitude of the sones of Israel. |
And when Moses and Aaron heard this, they fell down flat upon the ground before the multitude of the children of Israel. | |
| 6 | At vero Josue filius Nun et Caleb filius Jephone, qui et ipsi lustraverant terram, sciderunt vestimenta sua, |
And sotheli Josue, the sone of Nun, and Caleph, the sone of Jephone, whiche also cumpassiden the lond, to renten her clothis, |

| 7 | et ad omnem multitudinem filiorum Israël locuti sunt: Terra, quam circuivimus, valde bona est. |
and spaken to al the multitude of the sones of Israel, The lond which we cumpassiden is ful good; |
And said to all the multitude of the children of Israel: The land which we have gone round is very good: | |
| 8 | Si propitius fuerit Dominus, inducet nos in eam, et tradet humum lacte et melle manantem. |
if the Lord is merciful to vs, he schal lede vs in to it, and schal yyue to vs the lond flowynge with mylk and hony. |
If the Lord be favourable, he will bring us into it, and give us a land flowing with milk and honey. | |
| 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. |
Nyle ye be rebel ayens the Lord, nether drede ye the puple of this lond, for we moun deuoure hem so as breed; al her help passide awei fro hem, the Lord is with vs, nyle ye drede. |
Be 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. | |

And whanne al the multitude criede, and wolde oppresse hem with stonys, the glorie of the Lord apperide on the roof of the boond of pees, while alle the sones of Israel sien. |
And 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. | |
| 11 | Et dixit Dominus ad Moysen: Usquequo detrahet mihi populus iste? quousque non credent mihi, in omnibus signis quæ feci coram eis? |
And the Lord seide to Moises, Hou long schal this puple bacbite me? Hou longe schulen thei not bileue to me in alle signes, whiche Y haue do bifor hem? |
And 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? | Moses intercedes for the people. Nu.14.11-25 |
| 12 | Feriam igitur eos pestilentia, atque consumam: te autem faciam principem super gentem magnam, et fortiorem quam hæc est. |
Therfor Y schal smyte hem with pestilence, and Y schal waste hem; forsothe Y schal make thee prince on a greet folk, and strongere than is this. |
I 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. | |
| 13 | Et ait Moyses ad Dominum: Ut audiant Ægyptii, de quorum medio eduxisti populum istum, |
And Moises seide to the Lord, Egipcians here not, fro whos myddil thou leddist out this puple, |
And Moses said to the Lord: That the Egyptians, from the midst of whom thou hast brought forth this people, | |
| 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: |

And 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,) | |
| 15 | quod occideris tantam multitudinem quasi unum hominem, et dicant: |
and in a piler of fier bi nyyt, that thou hast slayn so greet a multitude as o man, |
May hear that thou hast killed so great a multitude as it were one man and may say: | |
| 16 | Non poterat introducere populum in terram pro qua juraverat: idcirco occidit eos in solitudine? |
and seie thei, He myyte not brynge this puple in to the lond for whiche he swoor, therfor he killide hem in wildirnesse; |
He could not bring the people into the land for which he had sworn, therefore did he kill them in the wilderness. | |
| 17 | Magnificetur ergo fortitudo Domini sicut jurasti, dicens: |
therfor the strengthe of the Lord be magnified, as thou hast swore. And Moises seide, |
Let their the strength of the Lord be magnified, as thou hast sworn, saying: | |
| 18 | Dominus patiens et multæ misericordiæ, auferens iniquitatem et scelera, nullumque innoxium derelinquens, qui visitas peccata patrum in filios in tertiam et quartam generationem. |

| 20 | Dixitque Dominus: Dimisi juxta verbum tuum. |
And the Lord seide, Y haue foryouun to hem, bi thi word. |
And the Lord said: I have forgiven according to thy word. | |
| 21 | Vivo ego: et implebitur gloria Domini universa terra. |
Y lyue; and the glorie of the Lord schal be fillid in al erthe; |
As I live: and the whole earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord. | |
