Deuteronomy 1:25-35
New American Standard Bible
26Yet you were unwilling to go up; instead you rebelled against the command of the Lord your God;
27and you grumbled in your tents and said, ‘Because the Lord hates us, He has brought us out of the land of Egypt, to hand us over to the Amorites to destroy us.
28Where can we go up? Our brothers have made our hearts melt, by saying, 'The people are bigger and taller than we; the cities are large and fortified up to heaven. And besides, we saw the sons of the Anakim there.'?’
29But I said to you, ‘Do not be terrified, nor fear them.
30The Lord your God, who goes before you, will Himself fight for you, just as He did for you in Egypt before your eyes,
31and in the wilderness where you saw how the Lord your God carried you, just as a man carries his son, on all of the road which you have walked until you came to this place.’
32Yet in spite of all this, you did not trust the Lord your God,
33who goes before you on your way, to seek out a place for you to make camp, in the fire by night to show you the way by which you should go, and in the cloud by day.
King James Version
Chapter 1
25And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down unto us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a good land which the LORD our God doth give us. 26Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God: 27And ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because the LORD hated us, he hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us. 28Whither shall we go up? our brethren have discouraged our heart, saying, The people is greater and taller than we; the cities are great and walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims there. 29Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them. 30The LORD your God which goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes; 31And in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that the LORD thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came into this place. 32Yet in this thing ye did not believe the LORD your God, 33Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to shew you by what way ye should go, and in a cloud by day. 34And the LORD heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and sware, saying, 35Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers,Christian Standard Bible
26"But you were not willing to go up. You rebelled against the command of the Lord your God.
27You grumbled in your tents and said, 'The Lord brought us out of the land of Egypt to hand us over to the Amorites in order to destroy us, because he hates us.
28Where can we go? Our brothers have made us lose heart, saying: The people are larger and taller than we are; the cities are large, fortified to the heavens. We also saw the descendants of the Anakim there.'
29"So I said to you: Don't be terrified or afraid of them!
30The Lord your God who goes before you will fight for you, just as you saw him do for you in Egypt.
31And you saw in the wilderness how the Lord your God carried you as a man carries his son all along the way you traveled until you reached this place.
32But in spite of this you did not trust the Lord your God,
33who went before you on the journey to seek out a place for you to camp. He went in the fire by night and in the cloud by day to guide you on the road you were to travel.
New Living Translation
26But you rebelled against the command of the Lord your God and refused to go in.
27You complained in your tents and said, ‘The Lord must hate us. That’s why he has brought us here from Egypt — to hand us over to the Amorites to be slaughtered.
28Where can we go? Our brothers have demoralized us with their report. They tell us, 'The people of the land are taller and more powerful than we are, and their towns are large, with walls rising high into the sky! We even saw giants there — the descendants of Anak!'’
29But I said to you, ‘Don’t be shocked or afraid of them!
30The Lord your God is going ahead of you. He will fight for you, just as you saw him do in Egypt.
31And you saw how the Lord your God cared for you all along the way as you traveled through the wilderness, just as a father cares for his child. Now he has brought you to this place.’
English Standard Version
26“Yet you would not go up, but rebelled against the command of the LORD your God.
27And you murmured in your tents and said, ‘Because the LORD hated us he has brought us out of the land of Egypt, to give us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.
28Where are we going up? Our brothers have made our hearts melt, saying, “The people are greater and taller than we. The cities are great and fortified up to heaven. And besides, we have seen the sons of the Anakim there.”’
29Then I said to you, ‘Do not be in dread or afraid of them.
30The LORD your God who goes before you will himself fight for you, just as he did for you in Egypt before your eyes,
31and in the wilderness, where you have seen how the LORD your God carried you, as a man carries his son, all the way that you went until you came to this place.’
32Yet in spite of this word you did not believe the LORD your God,
33who went before you in the way to seek you out a place to pitch your tents, in fire by night and in the cloud by day, to show you by what way you should go.
New International Version
26But you were unwilling to go up; you rebelled against the command of the LORD your God.
27You grumbled in your tents and said, 'The LORD hates us; so he brought us out of Egypt to deliver us into the hands of the Amorites to destroy us.
28Where can we go? Our brothers have made our hearts melt in fear. They say, 'The people are stronger and taller than we are; the cities are large, with walls up to the sky. We even saw the Anakites there.''
29Then I said to you, 'Do not be terrified; do not be afraid of them.
30The LORD your God, who is going before you, will fight for you, as he did for you in Egypt, before your very eyes,
31and in the wilderness. There you saw how the LORD your God carried you, as a father carries his son, all the way you went until you reached this place.'
New King James Version
26“Nevertheless you would not go up, but rebelled against the command of the Lord your God;
27and you complained in your tents, and said, ‘Because the Lord hates us, He has brought us out of the land of Egypt to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.
28Where can we go up? Our brethren have discouraged our hearts, saying, “The people are greater and taller than we; the cities are great and fortified up to heaven; moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakim there.” ’
29“Then I said to you, ‘Do not be terrified, or afraid of them.
30The Lord your God, who goes before you, He will fight for you, according to all He did for you in Egypt before your eyes,
31and in the wilderness where you saw how the Lord your God carried you, as a man carries his son, in all the way that you went until you came to this place.’
32Yet, for all that, you did not believe the Lord your God,
33who went in the way before you to search out a place for you to pitch your tents, to show you the way you should go, in the fire by night and in the cloud by day.
