Because the people didn't trust in God, he refused to let them see the Promised Land. They wandered for 40 years until all of the people (except 2, I think) who had originally escaped from Egypt -- died. Their descendants were allowed to enter the Promised Land.

God was reprimanding them after the events when the Scouts were sent to scout out the Holy Land. The Israelites did not exhibit complete trust in God (Deuteronomy ch.1). See Numbers ch.13-14.
