Numbers 20
1 And the sons of Israel, even the whole congregation, came into the wilderness of Zin in the first month, and the people abode in Kadesh. And Miriam died there, and was buried there.
Veneruntque filii Israel, et omnis multitudo in desertum Sin, mense primo: et mansit populus in Cades. Mortuaque est ibi Maria, et sepulta in eodem loco.
2 And there was no water for the congregation, and they assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.
Cumque indigeret aqua populus, convenerunt adversum Moysen et Aaron:
3 And the people strove with Moses, and spoke, saying, Would that we had died when our brothers died before Jehovah!
et versi in seditionem, dixerunt: Utinam periissemus inter fratres nostros coram Domino.
4 And why have ye brought the assembly of Jehovah into this wilderness, that we should die there, we and our beasts?
Cur eduxistis Ecclesiam Domini in solitudinem, ut et nos et nostra iumenta moriamur?
5 And why have ye made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in to this evil place? It is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates, neither is there any water to drink.
Quare nos fecistis ascendere de Aegypto, et adduxistis in locum istum pessimum, qui seri non potest, qui nec ficum gignit, nec vineas, nec malogranata, insuper et aquam non habet ad bibendum?
6 And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the door of the tent of meeting, and fell upon their faces. And the glory of Jehovah appeared to them.
Ingressusque Moyses et Aaron, dimissa multitudine, in tabernaculum foederis, corruerunt proni in terram, clamaveruntque ad Dominum, atque dixerunt: Domine Deus audi clamorem huius populi, et aperi eis thesaurum tuum fontem aquae vivae, ut satiati, cesset murmuratio eorum. Et apparuit gloria Domini super eos.
7 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
8 Take the rod, and assemble the congregation, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye to the rock before their eyes, that it give forth its water, and thou shall bring forth water to them out of the rock. So thou shall give the congregation and their cattle drink.
Tolle virgam, et congrega populum, tu et Aaron frater tuus, et loquimini ad petram coram eis, et illa dabit aquas. Cumque eduxeris aquam de petra, bibet omnis multitudo et iumenta eius.
9 And Moses took the rod from before Jehovah, as he commanded him.
Tulit igitur Moyses virgam, quae erat in conspectu Domini, sicut praeceperat ei,
10 And Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock, and he said to them, Hear now, ye rebels. Shall we bring forth water to you out of this rock?
congregata multitudine ante petram, dixitque eis: Audite rebelles et increduli: Num de petra hac vobis aquam poterimus eiicere?
11 And Moses lifted up his hand, and smote the rock with his rod twice, and water came forth abundantly. And the congregation drank, and their cattle.
Cumque elevasset Moyses manum, percutiens virga bis silicem, egressae sunt aquae largissimae, ita ut populus biberet et iumenta.
12 And Jehovah said to Moses and Aaron, Because ye did not believe in me, to sanctify me in the eyes of the sons of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.
Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen et Aaron: Quia non credidistis mihi, ut sanctificaretis me coram filiis Israel, non introducetis hos populos in terram, quam dabo eis.
13 These are the waters of Meribah, because the sons of Israel strove with Jehovah, and he was sanctified in them.
Haec est aqua contradictionis, ubi iurgati sunt filii Israel contra Dominum, et sanctificatus est in eis.
14 And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, Thus says thy brother Israel, Thou know all the travail that has befallen us,
Misit interea nuncios Moyses de Cades ad regem Edom, qui dicerent: Haec mandat frater tuus Israel: Nosti omnem laborem qui apprehendit nos,
15 how our fathers went down into Egypt, and we dwelt in Egypt a long time. And the Egyptians dealt ill with us and our fathers.
quo modo descenderint patres nostri in Aegyptum, et habitaverimus ibi multo tempore, afflixerintque nos Aegyptii, et patres nostros:
16 And when we cried to Jehovah, he heard our voice, and sent an agent, and brought us forth out of Egypt. And, behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the outermost of thy border.
et quo modo clamaverimus ad Dominum, et exaudierit nos, miseritque angelum, qui eduxerit nos de Aegypto. Ecce in urbe Cades, quae est in extremis finibus tuis, positi,
17 Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy land. We will not pass through field or through vineyard, neither will we drink of the water of the wells. We will go along the king's highway. We will not turn aside to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy border.
obsecramus ut nobis transire liceat per terram tuam. Non ibimus per agros, nec per vineas, non bibemus aquas de puteis tuis, sed gradiemur via publica, nec ad dexteram nec ad sinistram declinantes, donec transeamus terminos tuos.
18 And Edom said to him, Thou shall not pass through me, lest I come out with the sword against thee.
Cui respondit Edom: Non transibis per me, alioquin armatus occurram tibi.
19 And the sons of Israel said to him, We will go up by the highway. And if we drink of thy water, I and my cattle, then will I give the price of it. Only let me, without doing anything, pass through on my feet.
Dixeruntque filii Israel: Per tritam gradiemur viam: et si biberimus aquas tuas nos et pecora nostra, dabimus quod iustum est: nulla erit in pretio difficultas, tantum velociter transeamus.
20 And he said, Thou shall not pass through. And Edom came out against him with many people, and with a strong hand.
At ille respondit: Non transibitis. Statimque egressus est obvius, cum infinita multitudo, et manu forti,
21 Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border. Therefore Israel turned away from him.
nec voluit acquiescere deprecanti, ut concederet transitum per fines suos. quam ob rem divertit ab eo Israel.
22 And they journeyed from Kadesh, and the sons of Israel, even the whole congregation, came to mount Hor.
Cumque castra movissent de Cades, venerunt in montem Hor, qui est in finibus terrae Edom:
23 And Jehovah spoke to Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the border of the land of Edom, saying,
ubi locutus est Dominus ad Moysen:
24 Aaron shall be gathered to his people, for he shall not enter into the land which I have given to the sons of Israel, because ye rebelled against my word at the waters of Meribah.
Pergat, inquit, Aaron ad populos suos: non enim intrabit Terram, quam dedi filiis Israel, eo quod incredulus fuerit ori meo, ad Aquas contradictionis.
25 Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up to mount Hor,
Tolle Aaron et filium eius cum eo, et duces eos in montem Hor.
26 and strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son. And Aaron shall be gathered, and shall die there.
Cumque nudaveris patrem veste sua, indues ea Eleazarum filium eius: Aaron colligetur, et morietur ibi.
27 And Moses did as Jehovah commanded. And they went up into mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.
Fecit Moyses ut praeceperat Dominus: et ascenderunt in montem Hor coram omni multitudine.
28 And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son. And Aaron died there on the top of the mount, and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mount.
Cumque Aaron spoliasset vestibus suis, induit eis Eleazarum filium eius. Illo mortuo in montis supercilio, descendit cum Eleazaro.
29 And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they wept for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.
Omnis autem multitudo videns occubuisse Aaron, flevit super eo triginta diebus per cunctas familias suas.
