Numbers 20
1 In the first month, the whole congregation of Israel entered the Wilderness of Zin and stayed in Kadesh. There Miriam died and was buried.
斯てイスラエルの子孫の全會衆正月におよびてチンの曠野にいたれり而して民みなカデシに止りけるがミリアム其處にて死たれば之を其處に葬りぬ
2 Now there was no water for the congregation, so they gathered against Moses and Aaron.
當時會衆水を得ざるによりて相集りてモーセとアロンに迫れり
3 The people quarreled with Moses and said, “If only we had perished with our brothers before the LORD!
すなはち民モーセと爭ひ言けるは嚮に我らの兄弟等がヱホバの前に死たる時に我等も死たらば善りしものを
4 Why have you brought the LORD’s assembly into this wilderness for us and our livestock to die here?
汝等何とてヱホバの會衆をこの曠野に導き上りて我等とわれらの家畜を此に死しめんとするや
5 Why have you led us up out of Egypt to bring us to this wretched place? It is not a place of grain, figs, vines, or pomegranates—and there is no water to drink!”
汝らなんぞ我らをエジプトより上らしめてこの惡き處に導きいりしや此には種を播べき處なく無花果もなく葡萄もなく石榴も無くまた飮べき水も無し
6 Then Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. They fell facedown, and the glory of the LORD appeared to them.
是においてモーセとアロンは會衆の前を去り集會の幕屋の門にいたりて俯伏けるにヱホバの榮光かれらに顯れ
7 And the LORD said to Moses,
ヱホバ、モーセに告て言たまはく
8 “Take the staff and assemble the congregation. You and your brother Aaron are to speak to the rock while they watch, and it will pour out its water. You will bring out water from the rock and provide drink for the congregation and their livestock.”
汝杖を執り汝の兄弟アロンとともに會衆を集めその眼の前にて汝ら磐に命ぜよ磐その中より水を出さん汝かく磐より水を出して會衆とその獣畜に飮しむべしと
9 So Moses took the staff from the LORD’s presence, just as he had been commanded.
モーセすなはちその命ぜられしごとくヱホバの前より杖を取り
10 Then Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly in front of the rock, and Moses said to them, “Listen now, you rebels, must we bring you water out of this rock?”
アロンとともに會衆を磐の前に集めて之に言けるは汝ら背反者等よ聽け我等水をしてこの磐より汝らのために出しめん歟と
11 Then Moses raised his hand and struck the rock twice with his staff, so that a great amount of water gushed out, and the congregation and their livestock were able to drink.
モーセその手を擧げ杖をもて磐を二度撃けるに水多く湧出たれば會衆とその獣畜ともに飮り
12 But the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not trust Me to show My holiness in the sight of the Israelites, you will not bring this assembly into the land that I have given them.”
時にヱホバ、モーセとアロンに言たまひけるは汝等は我を信ぜずしてイスラエルの子孫の目の前に我の聖を顯さざりしによりてこの會衆をわが之に與へし地に導きいることを得じと
13 These were the waters of Meribah, where the Israelites quarreled with the LORD, and He showed His holiness among them.
是をメリバ(爭論)の水とよべりイスラエルの子孫是がためにヱホバにむかひて爭ひたりしかばヱホバつひにその聖ことを顯したまへり
14 From Kadesh, Moses sent messengers to tell the king of Edom, “This is what your brother Israel says: You know all the hardship that has befallen us,
茲にモーセ、カデシより使者をエドムの王に遣して言けるは汝の兄弟イスラエルかく言ふ汝はわれらが遭し諸の艱難を知る
15 how our fathers went down to Egypt, where we lived many years. The Egyptians mistreated us and our fathers,
そもそも我らの先祖等エジプトに下りゆきて我ら年ひさしくエジプトに住をりしがエジプト人われらと我らの先祖等をなやましたれば
16 and when we cried out to the LORD, He heard our voice, sent an angel, and brought us out of Egypt. Now look, we are in Kadesh, a city on the edge of your territory.
我らヱホバに龥はりけるにヱホバわれらの聲を聽たまひ一箇の天の使を遣して我らをエジプトより導きいだしたまへり視よ我ら今は汝の邊境の邊端にあるカデシの邑に居るなり
17 Please let us pass through your land. We will not cut through any field or vineyard, or drink water from any well. We will stay on the King’s Highway; we will not turn to the right or to the left until we have passed through your territory.”
願くは我らをして汝の國を通過しめよ我等は田畝をも葡萄園をも通過じまた井の水をも飮じ我らは第王の路を通過り汝の境をいづるまでは右にも左にもまがらじ
18 But Edom answered, “You may not travel through our land, or we will come out and confront you with the sword.”
エドム、モーセに言けるは汝我の中を通過べからず恐くは我いでて劍をもて汝にむかはん
19 “We will stay on the main road,” the Israelites replied, “and if we or our herds drink your water, we will pay for it. There will be no problem; only let us pass through on foot.”
イスラエルの子孫エドムに言ふ我らは大道を通過ん若われらと我らの獣畜なんぢの水を飮ことあらばその値を償ふべし我は徒行にて通過のみなれば何事にもあらざるなりと
20 But Edom insisted, “You may not pass through.” And they came out to confront the Israelites with a large army and a strong hand.
然るにエドムは汝通過べからずといひて許多の群衆を率ゐて出で大なる力をもて之にむかへり
21 So Edom refused to allow Israel to pass through their territory, and Israel turned away from them.
エドムかくイスラエルにその境の中を通過ことを容さざりければイスラエルは他にむかひて去り
22 After they had set out from Kadesh, the whole congregation of Israel came to Mount Hor.
かくてイスラエルの子孫の會衆みなカデシより進みてホル山にいたれり
23 And at Mount Hor, near the border of the land of Edom, the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
ヱホバ、エドムの國の境なるホル山にてモーセとアロンに告て言たまはく
24 “Aaron will be gathered to his people; he will not enter the land that I have given the Israelites, because both of you rebelled against My command at the waters of Meribah.
アロンはその死たる民に列らんイスラエルの子孫に我が與へし地に彼は入ことを得ざるべし是メリバの水のある處にて汝等わが言に背きたればなり
25 Take Aaron and his son Eleazar and bring them up Mount Hor.
汝アロンとその子エレアザルをひきつれてホル山に登り
26 Remove Aaron’s priestly garments and put them on his son Eleazar. Aaron will be gathered to his people and will die there.”
アロンにその衣服を脱せてこれをその子エレアザルに衣せよアロンは其處に死てその民に列るべしと
27 So Moses did as the LORD had commanded, and they climbed Mount Hor in the sight of the whole congregation.
モーセすなはちヱホバの命じたまへるごとく爲し相つれだちて全會衆の目の前にてホル山に登り
28 After Moses had removed Aaron’s garments and put them on his son Eleazar, Aaron died there on top of the mountain. Then Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.
而してモーセはアロンにその衣服をぬがせて之をその子エレアデルに衣せたりアロンは其處にて山の嶺に死り斯てモーセとエレアザル山よりくだりけるが
29 When the whole congregation saw that Aaron had died, the entire house of Israel mourned for him thirty days.
會衆みなアロンの死たるを見て三十日のあひだ哀哭をなせりイスラエルの家みな然せり
