Numbers 20
1 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.
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 And the people wanting water, came together 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 And making a sedition, they said: Would God we had perished among our brethren 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 out the church of the Lord into the wilderness, that both we and our cattle should die?
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 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?
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 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.
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 spoke to Moses, saying:
ヱホバ、モーセに告て言たまはく
8 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.
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 Moses therefore took the rod, which was before the Lord, as he had commanded him,
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 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?
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 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,
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 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.
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 This is the Water of contradiction, where the children of Israel strove with words against the Lord, and he was sanctified in 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 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:
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 In what manner our fathers went down into Egypt, and there we dwelt a long time, and the Egyptians afflicted 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 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,
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 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.
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 And Edom answered them: Thou shalt not pass by me: if thou dost I will come out armed against thee.
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 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.
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 he answered: Thou shalt not pass. And immediately he came forth to meet them with an infinite multitude, 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 Neither would he condescend to their desire to grant them passage through his borders. Wherefore Israel turned another way from him.
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 And when they had removed the camp from Cades, they came to mount Her, which is in the borders of the land of Edom:
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 Where the Lord spoke to Moses:
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 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.
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 with him, and bring them up into 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 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.
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 Moses did as the Lord had commanded: and they went up into mount Hor before all the multitude.
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 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.
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 And all the multitude seeing that Aaron was dead, mourned for him thirty days throughout all their families.
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
