7 Our fathers in Egypt did not grasp Your wonders or remember Your abundant kindness; but they rebelled by the sea, there at the Red Sea.

7 Nuestros padres en Egipto no entendieron tus maravillas; no se acordaron de la muchedumbre de tus misericordias; sino que se rebelaron junto á la mar, en el mar Bermejo.

7 Our fathers didn’t understand your wonders in Egypt. They didn’t remember the multitude of your loving kindnesses, but were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.

8 Yet He saved them for the sake of His name, to make His power known.

8 Salvólos empero por amor de su nombre, para hacer notoria su fortaleza.

8 Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake, that he might make his mighty power known.

9 He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up; He led them through the depths as through a desert.

9 Y reprendió al mar Bermejo, y secólo; é hízoles ir por el abismo, como por un desierto.

9 He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up; so he led them through the depths, as through a desert.

13 Yet they soon forgot His works and failed to wait for His counsel.

13 Apresuráronse, olvidáronse de sus obras; no esperaron en su consejo.

13 They soon forgot his works. They didn’t wait for his counsel,

14 They craved intensely in the wilderness and tested God in the desert.

14 Y desearon con ansia en el desierto; y tentaron á Dios en la soledad.

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

15 So He granted their request, but sent a wasting disease upon them.

15 Y él les dió lo que pidieron; mas envió flaqueza en sus almas.

16 In the camp they envied Moses, as well as Aaron, the holy one of the LORD.

23 So He said He would destroy them—had not Moses His chosen one stood before Him in the breach to divert His wrath from destroying them.

23 Y trató de destruirlos, á no haberse puesto Moisés su escogido al portillo delante de él, á fin de apartar su ira, para que no [los] destruyese.

32 At the waters of Meribah they angered the LORD, and trouble came to Moses because of them.

32 También le irritaron en las aguas de Meriba: é hizo mal á Moisés por causa de ellos;

32 They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, so that Moses was troubled for their sakes;

33 For they rebelled against His Spirit, and Moses spoke rashly with his lips.

33 Porque hicieron se rebelase su espíritu, como lo expresó con sus labios.

33 because they were rebellious against his spirit, he spoke rashly with his lips.

34 They did not destroy the peoples as the LORD had commanded them,

34 No destruyeron los pueblos que Jehová les dijo;

34 They didn’t destroy the peoples, as Yahweh commanded them,

35 but they mingled with the nations and adopted their customs.

35 Antes se mezclaron con las gentes, y aprendieron sus obras,

35 but mixed themselves with the nations, and learned their works.

36 They worshiped their idols, which became a snare to them.

36 Y sirvieron á sus ídolos; los cuales les fueron por ruina.

36 They served their idols, which became a snare to them.

37 They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.

38 They shed innocent blood—the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was polluted with blood.

38 Y derramaron la sangre inocente, la sangre de sus hijos y de sus hijas, que sacrificaron á los ídolos de Canaán: y la tierra fué contaminada con sangre.

38 They shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan. The land was polluted with blood.

39 They defiled themselves by their actions and prostituted themselves by their deeds.

39 Contamináronse así con sus obras, y fornicaron con sus hechos.

42 Their enemies oppressed them and subdued them under their hand.

42 Y sus enemigos los oprimieron, y fueron quebrantados debajo de su mano.

42 Their enemies also oppressed them. They were brought into subjection under their hand.

43 Many times He rescued them, but they were bent on rebellion and sank down in their iniquity.

43 Muchas veces los libró; mas ellos se rebelaron á su consejo, y fueron humillados por su maldad.

43 He rescued them many times, but they were rebellious in their counsel, and were brought low in their iniquity.

44 Nevertheless He heard their cry; He took note of their distress.

44 El con todo, miraba cuando estaban en angustia, y oía su clamor:

44 Nevertheless he regarded their distress, when he heard their cry.

45 And He remembered His covenant with them, and relented by the abundance of His loving devotion.

45 Y acordábase de su pacto con ellos, y arrepentíase conforme á la muchedumbre de sus miseraciones.

46 Hizo asimismo tuviesen de ellos misericordia todos los que los tenían cautivos.

46 He made them also to be pitied by all those who carried them captive.

47 Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from the nations, that we may give thanks to Your holy name, that we may glory in Your praise.
