In the wilderness their desires ran wild, testing God’s patience in that dry wasteland.

反倒在旷野大起欲心，在荒地试探神。

反倒在旷野起了贪婪之心，在荒地试探上帝。

反倒在旷野起了贪婪之心，在荒地试探神。

他们在旷野大起贪念，试探上帝。

反而在旷野大起贪欲，在沙漠试探神。

他们在旷野中极其贪心，在荒漠中试探神。

反倒在曠野大起慾心，在荒地試探神。

反倒在曠野起了貪婪之心，在荒地試探上帝。

反倒在曠野起了貪婪之心，在荒地試探神。

他們在曠野大起貪念，試探上帝。

反而在曠野大起貪慾，在沙漠試探神。

反倒在曠野大起貪慾之心，在荒野中試探着上帝；

他們在曠野中極其貪心，在荒漠中試探神。

在曠野縱其欲、在荒原試上帝兮、

爰至曠野、縱欲妄行、以試上帝兮、

在曠野有貪心、在荒墟試探天主、

纔得安寧。便恣淫佚。率彼曠野。惟求口實。

In the desert they gave in to their craving; in the wilderness they put God to the test.

In the desert they longed for food. In that dry and empty land they tested God.

But they had a wanton craving in the wilderness, and put God to the test in the desert;

They were seized with craving in the wilderness and tested God in the desert.

But became lustfully greedy in the wilderness, And put God to the test in the desert.

But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, And tested God in the desert.

But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, And tempted God in the desert.

They were seized with craving in the wilderness and tested God in the desert.

But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.

In the wilderness they had an insatiable craving for meat; they challenged God in the desert.

but gave in to craving in the desert, and tested God in the wasteland.

Nor should we put Christ to the test, as some of them did and then died from snakebites.

So once more the people complained against Moses.“ Give us water to drink!” they demanded.“ Quiet!” Moses replied.“ Why are you complaining against me? And why are you testing the Lord?”

These things happened as a warning to us, so that we would not crave evil things as they did,

Then the foreign rabble who were traveling with the Israelites began to crave the good things of Egypt. And the people of Israel also began to complain.“ Oh, for some meat!” they exclaimed.

But before they satisfied their craving, while the meat was yet in their mouths,

don’t harden your hearts as Israel did when they rebelled, when they tested me in the wilderness.There your ancestors tested and tried my patience, even though they saw my miracles for forty years.So I was angry with them, and I said,‘ Their hearts always turn away from me. They refuse to do what I tell them.’

They stubbornly tested God in their hearts, demanding the foods they craved.They even spoke against God himself, saying,“ God can’t give us food in the wilderness.Yes, he can strike a rock so water gushes out, but he can’t give his people bread and meat.”

But while they were gorging themselves on the meat— while it was still in their mouths— the anger of the Lord blazed against the people, and he struck them with a severe plague.So that place was called Kibroth hattaavah( which means“ graves of gluttony”) because there they buried the people who had craved meat from Egypt.

The Lord says,“ Don’t harden your hearts as Israel did at Meribah, as they did at Massah in the wilderness.For there your ancestors tested and tried my patience, even though they saw everything I did.

Oh, how often they rebelled against him in the wilderness and grieved his heart in that dry wasteland.Again and again they tested God’s patience and provoked the Holy One of Israel.

not one of these people will ever enter that land. They have all seen my glorious presence and the miraculous signs I performed both in Egypt and in the wilderness, but again and again they have tested me by refusing to listen to my voice.

“ You also made the Lord angry at Taberah, Massah, and Kibroth hattaavah.
