The Complete Jewish Bible CJB
New International Version NIV
26 ADONAI said to Moshe and Aharon,
26
The LORD said to Moses and Aaron:
27 "How long am I to put up with this evil community who keep grumbling about me? I have heard the complaints of the people of Isra'el, which they continue to raise against me.
27
“How long will this wicked community grumble against me? I have heard the complaints of these grumbling Israelites.
28 Tell them this: 'As surely as I live, ADONAI swears, as surely as you have spoken in my ears, I will do this to you:
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 your carcasses will fall in this desert! Every single one of you who were included in the census over the age of twenty, you who have complained against me,
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 will certainly not enter the land about which I raised my hand to swear that I would have you live in it - except for Kalev the son of Y'funeh and Y'hoshua the son of Nun.
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 But your little ones, who you said would be taken as booty - them I will bring in. They will know the land you have rejected.
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 But you, your carcasses will fall in this desert;
32
But as for you, your bodies will fall in this wilderness.
33 and your children will wander about in the desert for forty years bearing the consequences of your prostitutions until the desert eats up your carcasses.
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 It will be a year for every day you spent reconnoitering the land that you will bear the consequences of your offenses - forty days, forty years. Then you will know what it means to oppose me!
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.’
