Good News Translation GNT
New International Version NIV
26 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
26
The LORD said to Moses and Aaron:
27 "How much longer are these wicked people going to complain against me? I have heard enough of these complaints!
27
“How long will this wicked community grumble against me? I have heard the complaints of these grumbling Israelites.
28 Now give them this answer: "I swear that as surely as I live, I will do to you just what you have asked. I, the Lord, have spoken.
28
So tell them, ‘As surely as I live, declares the LORD, I will do to you the very thing I heard you say:
29 You will die and your corpses will be scattered across this wilderness. Because you have complained against me, none of you over twenty years of age will enter that land.
29
In this wilderness your bodies will fall—every one of you twenty years old or more who was counted in the census and who has grumbled against me.
30 I promised to let you live there, but not one of you will, except Caleb and Joshua.
30
Not one of you will enter the land I swore with uplifted hand to make your home, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.
31 You said that your children would be captured, but I will bring them into the land that you rejected, and it will be their home.
31
As for your children that you said would be taken as plunder, I will bring them in to enjoy the land you have rejected.
32 You will die here in this wilderness.
32
But as for you, your bodies will fall in this wilderness.
33 Your children will wander in the wilderness for forty years, suffering for your unfaithfulness, until the last one of you dies.
33
Your children will be shepherds here for forty years, suffering for your unfaithfulness, until the last of your bodies lies in the wilderness.
34 You will suffer the consequences of your sin for forty years, one year for each of the forty days you spent exploring the land. You will know what it means to have me against you!
34
For forty years—one year for each of the forty days you explored the land—you will suffer for your sins and know what it is like to have me against you.’
