New American Standard Bible NAS
New International Version NIV
11 Then Moses entreated the LORD his God, and said, "O LORD , why does Your anger burn against Your people whom You have brought out from the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?
11
But Moses sought the favor of the LORD his God. “LORD,” he said, “why should your anger burn against your people, whom you brought out of Egypt with great power and a mighty hand?
12 "Why should the Egyptians speak, saying, 'With evil intent He brought them out to kill them in the mountains and to destroy them from the face of the earth '? Turn from Your burning anger and change Your mind about doing harm to Your people.
12
Why should the Egyptians say, ‘It was with evil intent that he brought them out, to kill them in the mountains and to wipe them off the face of the earth’? Turn from your fierce anger; relent and do not bring disaster on your people.
13 "Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, Your servants to whom You swore by Yourself, and said to them, 'I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heavens, and all this land of which I have spoken I will give to your descendants, and they shall inherit it forever.' "
13
Remember your servants Abraham, Isaac and Israel, to whom you swore by your own self: ‘I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and I will give your descendants all this land I promised them, and it will be their inheritance forever.’ ”
14 So the LORD changed His mind about the harm which He said He would do to His people.
14
Then the LORD relented and did not bring on his people the disaster he had threatened.
15 Then Moses turned and went down from the mountain with the two tablets of the testimony in his hand, tablets which were written on both sides; they were written on one side and the other.
15
Moses turned and went down the mountain with the two tablets of the covenant law in his hands. They were inscribed on both sides, front and back.
16 The tablets were God's work, and the writing was God's writing engraved on the tablets.
16
The tablets were the work of God; the writing was the writing of God, engraved on the tablets.
17 Now when Joshua heard the sound of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, "There is a sound of war in the camp."
17
When Joshua heard the noise of the people shouting, he said to Moses, “There is the sound of war in the camp.”
18 But he said, "It is not the sound of the cry of triumph, Nor is it the sound of the cry of defeat; But the sound of singing I hear."
18
Moses replied: “It is not the sound of victory, it is not the sound of defeat; it is the sound of singing that I hear.”
