民數記 20
1 正月間，以色列全會眾到了尋的曠野，就住在加低斯。米利暗死在那裏，就葬在那裏。
And the children of Israel, [even] the whole congregation, came into the wilderness of Sin, in the first month, and the people abode in Cades; and Mariam died there, and was buried there.
2 會眾沒有水喝，就聚集攻擊摩西、亞倫。
And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered themselves together against Moses and Aaron.
3 百姓向摩西爭鬧說：「我們的弟兄曾死在耶和華面前，我們恨不得與他們同死。
And the people reviled Moses, saying, Would we had died in the destruction of our brethren before the Lord!
4 你們為何把耶和華的會眾領到這曠野、使我們和牲畜都死在這裏呢？
And therefore have you brought up the congregation of the Lord into this wilderness, to kill us and our cattle?
5 你們為何逼着我們出埃及、領我們到這壞地方呢？這地方不好撒種，也沒有無花果樹、葡萄樹、石榴樹，又沒有水喝。」
And therefore [is] this? You have brought us up out of Egypt, that we should come into this evil place; a place where there is no sowing, neither figs, nor vines, nor pomegranates, neither is there water to drink.
6 摩西、亞倫離開會眾，到會幕門口，俯伏在地；耶和華的榮光向他們顯現。
And Moses and Aaron went from before the assembly to the door of the tabernacle of witness, and they fell upon their faces; and the glory of the Lord appeared to them.
7 耶和華曉諭摩西說：
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
8 「你拿着杖去，和你的哥哥亞倫招聚會眾，在他們眼前吩咐磐石發出水來，水就從磐石流出，給會眾和他們的牲畜喝。」
Take your rod, and call the assembly, you and Aaron your brother, and speak you to the rock before them, and it shall give forth its waters; and you shall bring forth for them water out of the rock, and give drink to the congregation and their cattle.
9 於是摩西照耶和華所吩咐的，從耶和華面前取了杖去。
And Moses took his rod which was before the Lord, as the Lord commanded.
10 摩西、亞倫就招聚會眾到磐石前。摩西說：「你們這些背叛的人聽我說：我為你們使水從這磐石中流出來嗎？」
And Moses and Aaron assembled the congregation before the rock, and said to them, Hear me, you disobedient ones; must we bring you water out of this rock?
11 摩西舉手，用杖擊打磐石兩下，就有許多水流出來，會眾和他們的牲畜都喝了。
And Moses lifted up his hand and struck the rock with his rod twice; and much water came forth, and the congregation drank, and their cattle.
12 耶和華對摩西、亞倫說：「因為你們不信我，不在以色列人眼前尊我為聖，所以你們必不得領這會眾進我所賜給他們的地去。」
And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, Because you have not believed me to sanctify me before the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.
13 這水名叫米利巴水，是因以色列人向耶和華爭鬧，耶和華就在他們面前顯為聖。
This is the water of Strife, because the children of Israel spoke insolently before the Lord, and he was sanctified in them.
14 摩西從加低斯差遣使者去見以東王，說：「你的弟兄以色列人這樣說：『我們所遭遇的一切艱難，
And Moses sent messengers from Cades to the king of Edom, saying, Thus says your brother Israel; You know all the distress that has come upon us.
15 就是我們的列祖下到埃及，我們在埃及久住；埃及人惡待我們的列祖和我們，
And [how] our fathers went down into Egypt, and we sojourned in Egypt many days, and the Egyptians afflicted us and our fathers.
16 我們哀求耶和華的時候，他聽了我們的聲音，差遣使者把我們從埃及領出來。這事你都知道。如今，我們在你邊界上的城加低斯。
And we cried to the Lord, and the Lord heard our voice, and sent an angel and brought us out of Egypt; and now we are in the city of Cades, at the extremity of your coasts.
17 求你容我們從你的地經過。我們不走田間和葡萄園，也不喝井裏的水，只走大道，不偏左右，直到過了你的境界。』」
We will pass through your land: we will not go through the fields, nor through the vineyards, nor will we drink water out of your cistern: we will go by the king's highway; we will not turn aside to the right hand or to the left, until we have passed your borders.
18 以東王說：「你不可從我的地經過，免得我帶刀出去攻擊你。」
And Edom said to him, You shall not pass through me, and if otherwise, I will go forth to meet you in war.
19 以色列人說：「我們要走大道上去；我們和牲畜若喝你的水，必給你價值。不求別的，只求你容我們步行過去。」
And the children of Israel say to him, We will pass by the mountain; and if I and my cattle drink of your water, I will pay you: but it is no matter of importance, we will go by the mountain.
20 以東王說：「你們不可經過！」就率領許多人出來，要用強硬的手攻擊以色列人。
And he said, You shall not pass through me; and Edom went forth to meet him with a great host, and a mighty hand.
21 這樣，以東王不肯容以色列人從他的境界過去。於是他們轉去，離開他。
So Edom refused to allow Israel to pass through his borders, and Israel turned away from him.
22 以色列全會眾從加低斯起行，到了何珥山。
And they departed from Cades; and the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came to Mount Or.
23 耶和華在附近以東邊界的何珥山上曉諭摩西、亞倫說：
And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron in mount Or, on the borders of the land of Edom, saying,
24 「亞倫要歸到他列祖那裏。他必不得入我所賜給以色列人的地；因為在米利巴水，你們違背了我的命。
Let Aaron be added to his people; for you shall certainly not go into the land which I have given the children of Israel, because you provoked me at the water of strife.
25 你帶亞倫和他的兒子以利亞撒上何珥山，
Take Aaron, and Eleazar his son, and bring them up to the mount Or before all the congregation;
26 把亞倫的聖衣脫下來，給他的兒子以利亞撒穿上；亞倫必死在那裏，歸他列祖。」
and take Aaron's apparel from off him, and put it on Eleazar his son: and let Aaron die there and be added to [his people].
27 摩西就照耶和華所吩咐的行。三人當着會眾的眼前上了何珥山。
And Moses did as the Lord commanded him, and took him up to mount Or, before all the congregation.
28 摩西把亞倫的聖衣脫下來，給他的兒子以利亞撒穿上，亞倫就死在山頂那裏。於是摩西和以利亞撒下了山。
And he took Aaron's garments off him, and put them on Eleazar his son, and Aaron died on the top of the mountain; and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.
29 全會眾，就是以色列全家，見亞倫已經死了，便都為亞倫哀哭了三十天。
And all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead: and they wept for Aaron thirty days, [even] all the house of Israel.
