Brojevi 20
1 Potom stigoše Izraelci, sva zajednica, u pustinju Sin u prvome mjesecu. Narod se nastani u Kadešu. Ondje umrije Mirjam i ondje je sahraniše.
And the children of Israel, and all the multitude came into the desert of Sin, in the first month: and the people abode in Cades. And Mary died there, and was buried in the same place.
2 Nije bilo vode za zajednicu. Stoga se udruže protiv Mojsija i protiv Arona.
And the people wanting water, came together against Moses and Aaron:
3 Narod se poče svađati s Mojsijem i govoriti: “Da smo bar izginuli kad su nam i braća poginula pred Jahvom!
And making a sedition, they said: Would God we had perished among our brethren before the Lord.
4 Zašto ste doveli Jahvinu zajednicu u ovu pustinju da ovdje pomremo i mi i naša stoka?
Why have you brought out the church of the Lord into the wilderness, that both we and our cattle should die?
5 Zašto ste nas izveli iz Egipta da nas dovedete u ovo nesretno mjesto; mjesto u kojem nema ni žita, ni smokava, ni loze, ni mogranja? Nema ni vode da pijemo.”
Why have you made us come up out of Egypt, and have brought us into this wretched place which cannot be sowed, nor bringeth forth figs, nor vines, nor pomegranates, neither is there any water to drink?
6 Mojsije i Aron odu ispred zajednice do ulaza u Šator sastanka i padnu ničice. Tada im se pokaza slava Jahvina.
And Moses and Aaron leaving the multitude, went into the tabernacle of the covenant, and fell flat upon the ground, and cried to the Lord, and said: O Lord God, hear the cry of this people, and open to them thy treasure, a fountain of living water, that being satisfied, they may cease to murmur. And the glory of the Lord appeared over them.
7 I Jahve reče Mojsiju:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
8 “Uzmi štap pa ti i tvoj brat Aron skupite zajednicu. Onda, na njihove oči, progovorite pećini da ustupi svoje vode. Iz pećine im izvedi vodu te napoj zajednicu i njezino blago.”
Take the rod, and assemble the people together, thou and Aaron thy brother, and speak to the rock before them, and it shall yield waters. And when thou hast brought forth water out of the rock, all the multitude and their cattle shall drink.
9 Mojsije uzme štap ispred Jahve kako mu je naredio.
Moses therefore took the rod, which was before the Lord, as he had commanded him,
10 Zatim Mojsije i Aron skupe zbor pred pećinu pa im Mojsije rekne: “Čujte, buntovnici! Hoćemo li vam iz ove pećine izvesti vodu?”
And having gathered together the multitude before the rock, he said to them: Hear, ye rebellious and incredulous: Can we bring you forth water out of this rock?
11 Zatim Mojsije podigne ruku i dvaput udari štapom o pećinu: voda provali u obilju, pa su mogli piti i zajednica i njezino blago.
And when Moses had lifted up his hand, and struck the rock twice with the rod, there came forth water in great abundance, so that the people and their cattle drank,
12 Potom će Jahve Mojsiju i Aronu: “Budući da se niste pouzdavali u me i niste me svetim očitovali u očima sinova Izraelovih, nećete uvesti ovaj zbor u zemlju koju im dajem.”
And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron: Because you have not believed me, to sanctify me before the children of Israel, you shall not bring these people into the land, which I will give them.
13 To su Meripske vode, kraj njih su se Izraelci prepirali s Jahvom, a on se pokazao svetim.
This is the Water of contradiction, where the children of Israel strove with words against the Lord, and he was sanctified in them.
14 Iz Kadeša pošalje Mojsije glasnike: “Kralju Edoma. Ovako veli tvoj brat Izrael: 'Ti znaš sve jade koji su nas snašli.
In the mean time Moses sent messengers from Cades to the king of Edom, to say: Thus saith thy brother Israel: Thou knowest all the labour that hath come upon us:
15 Naši se preci spustiše u Egipat. U Egiptu smo proboravili mnogo vremena. Egipćani su s nama i s našim precima loše postupali.
In what manner our fathers went down into Egypt, and there we dwelt a long time, and the Egyptians afflicted us and our fathers.
16 Stoga smo vapili Jahvi, i on ču naš glas i posla anđela koji nas izbavi iz Egipta. Evo nas sad u Kadešu, gradu uz rub tvoga područja.
And how we cried to the Lord, and he heard us, and sent an angel, who hath brought us out of Egypt. Lo, we are now in the city of Cades, which is in the uttermost of thy borders,
17 Pusti nas da prođemo kroz tvoju zemlju. Nećemo ići preko polja ni vinograda niti ćemo piti vodu iz bunara; ići ćemo Kraljevskim putem, ne skrećući ni desno ni lijevo, dok ne prođemo tvoje područje.”
And we beseech thee that we may have leave to pass through thy country. We will not go through the fields, nor through the vineyards, we will not drink the waters of thy wells, but we will go by the common highway, neither turning aside to the right hand, nor to the left, till we are past thy borders.
18 Edom mu odgovori: “Ne prolazi preko moje zemlje, jer eto me s mačem preda te!”
And Edom answered them: Thou shalt not pass by me: if thou dost I will come out armed against thee.
19 “Ići ćemo utrenikom”, rekoše Izraelci, “a budemo li pili tvoje vode, mi i naša stada, za to ćemo ti platiti. Ništa više, samo da prođemo pješice.”
And the children of Israel said: We will go by the beaten way: and if we and our cattle drink of thy waters, we will give thee what is just: there shall be no difficulty in the price, only let us pass speedily.
20 “Ne prolazi!” - odgovori. I Edom mu izađe u susret s mnogo ljudi i s velikom silom.
But he answered: Thou shalt not pass. And immediately he came forth to meet them with an infinite multitude, and a strong hand,
21 Tako Edom nije dopustio Izraelu da prođe kroz njegovo područje i Izrael se okrenu od njega.
Neither would he condescend to their desire to grant them passage through his borders. Wherefore Israel turned another way from him.
22 Zaputivši se od Kadeša, stigoše Izraelci, sva zajednica, k brdu Horu.
And when they had removed the camp from Cades, they came to mount Her, which is in the borders of the land of Edom:
23 Kod brda Hora, uz među edomsku, reče Jahve Mojsiju i Aronu:
Where the Lord spoke to Moses:
24 “Neka se Aron pridruži svojim precima! Neće ući u zemlju koju dajem Izraelcima, jer ste se oprli mojoj zapovijedi kod Meripskih voda.
Let Aaron, saith he, go to his people: for he shall not go into the land which I have given the children of Israel, because he was incredulous to my words, at the waters of contradiction.
25 Uzmi Arona i njegova sina Eleazara, pa ih izvedi na brdo Hor.
Take Aaron and his son with him, and bring them up into mount Hor:
26 I svuci Aronu njegove haljine pa ih obuci njegovu sinu Eleazaru. Aron će se pridružiti precima, umrijet će ondje.”
And when thou hast stripped the father of his vesture, thou shalt vest therewith Eleazar his son: Aaron shall be gathered to his people, and die there.
27 Mojsije učini kako naredi Jahve. Pred svom zajednicom popeše se na brdo Hor.
Moses did as the Lord had commanded: and they went up into mount Hor before all the multitude.
28 Mojsije svuče s Arona njegove haljine te ih obuče njegovu sinu Eleazaru. Ondje navrh brda umrije Aron. Zatim se Mojsije i Eleazar spustiše s brda.
And when he had stripped Aaron of his vestments, he vested Eleazar his son with them. And Aaron being dead in the top of the mountain, he came down with Eleazar.
29 Sva zajednica vidje da je Aron preminuo i sav dom Izraelov oplakivaše Arona trideset dana.
And all the multitude seeing that Aaron was dead, mourned for him thirty days throughout all their families.
