Numbers 20

1 And the children 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.

Potem so prišli Izraelovi otroci, torej celotna skupnost, v puščavo Cin, v prvem mesecu, in ljudstvo je ostalo v Kadešu in Mirjam je tam umrla in bila tam pokopana.

2 And there was no water for the congregation; and they assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.

Tam pa ni bilo nobene vode za skupnost in skupaj so se zbrali zoper Mojzesa in zoper Arona.

3 And the people strove with Moses, and spoke, saying: 'Would that we had perished when our brethren perished before the LORD!

Ljudje so se pričkali z Mojzesom in govorili, rekoč: »Da bi Bog dal, da bi umrli, ko so naši bratje umrli pred Gospodom!

4 And why have ye brought the assembly of the LORD into this wilderness, to die there, we and our cattle?

In zakaj sta Gospodovo skupnost privedla gor v to divjino, da bi mi in naša živina v njej umrli?

5 And wherefore have ye made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in unto 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.'

In zakaj sta nas pripravila, da pridemo gor iz Egipta, da nas privedeta na ta zlobni kraj? To ni kraj semen ali fig ali vinskih trt ali granatnih jabolk niti ni tukaj nobene vode za pitje.«

6 And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door of the tent of meeting, and fell upon their faces; and the glory of the LORD appeared unto them.

Mojzes in Aron sta od prisotnosti zbora odšla k vratom šotorskega svetišča skupnosti ter padla na svoja obraza in prikazala se jima je Gospodova slava.

7 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:

Gospod je spregovoril Mojzesu, rekoč:

8 'Take the rod, and assemble the congregation, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes, that it give forth its water; and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock; so thou shalt give the congregation and their cattle drink.'

»Vzemi palico in ti in tvoj brat Aron zberita skupaj skupnost in pred njihovimi očmi spregovorita skali in ta bo dala svojo vodo in ti jim boš prinesel vodo iz skale. Tako boš dal piti zboru in njihovim živalim.«

9 And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as He commanded him.

Mojzes je vzel palico izpred Gospoda, kakor mu je zapovedal.

10 And Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock, and he said unto them: 'Hear now, ye rebels; are we to bring you forth water out of this rock?'

Mojzes in Aron sta pred skalo zbrala skupnost in jim rekla: »Poslušajte sedaj, vi uporniki, ali vam moreva iz te skale izpeljati vodo?«

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.

Mojzes je dvignil svojo roko in s svojo palico dvakrat udaril skalo in voda se je obilno prikazala in skupnost je pila in tudi njihove živali.

12 And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron: 'Because ye believed not in Me, to sanctify Me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.'

Gospod pa je spregovoril Mojzesu in Aronu: »Ker mi nista verovala, da bi me izkazala svetega v očeh Izraelovih otrok, zato te skupnosti ne bosta privedla v deželo, ki sem jim jo dal.«

13 These are the waters of Meribah, where the children of Israel strove with the LORD, and He was sanctified in them.

To je voda iz Meríbe; ker so se Izraelovi otroci prepirali z Gospodom in je bil on posvečen v njih.

14 And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom: 'Thus saith thy brother Israel: Thou knowest all the travail that hath befallen us;

Mojzes je k edómskemu kralju poslal poslance iz Kadeša: »Tako govori tvoj brat Izrael: ›Ti poznaš vse muke, ki so nas doletele.

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;

Kako so naši očetje odšli dol v Egipt in smo dolgo časa prebivali v Egiptu; Egipčani pa so dražili nas in naše očete.

16 and when we cried unto the LORD, He heard our voice, and sent an angel, and brought us forth out of Egypt; and, behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border.

In ko smo klicali h Gospodu, je slišal naš glas in poslal angela in nas privedel iz egiptovske dežele. In glej, mi smo v Kadešu, v mestu na tvoji najbolj oddaljeni meji.

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.'

Naj prečkamo, prosim te, skozi tvojo deželo. Ne bomo šli skozi polja ali skozi vinograde niti ne bomo pili vode iz vodnjakov. Šli bomo po kraljevi visoki poti, ne bomo se obrnili k desni roki niti ne k levi, dokler ne prečkamo tvojih meja.‹«

18 And Edom said unto him: 'Thou shalt not pass through me, lest I come out with the sword against thee.'

Edóm pa mu je rekel: »Ne boš prečkal poleg mene, da ne bi jaz z mečem prišel zoper tebe.«

19 And the children of Israel said unto 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 thereof; let me only pass through on my feet; there is no hurt.'

Izraelovi otroci so mu rekli: »Šli bomo po visoki poti. In če jaz in moja živina pije od tvoje vode, potem bom plačal zanjo. Samo šel bom, ne da bi počel karkoli drugega bom šel skozi po svojih stopalih.«

20 And he said: 'Thou shalt not pass through.' And Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand.

Rekel je: »Ne boš šel skozi.« In Edóm je prišel ven zoper njega, z mnogo ljudstva in z močno roko.

21 Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border; wherefore Israel turned away from him.

Tako je Edóm odklonil dati Izraelu prehod skozi njegovo mejo, zato se je Izrael obrnil proč od njega.

22 And they journeyed from Kadesh; and the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came unto mount Hor.

Izraelovi otroci, torej celotna skupnost, so potovali od Kadeša in prišli na goro Hor.

23 And the LORD spoke unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the border of the land of Edom, saying:

Gospod je govoril Mojzesu in Aronu na gori Hor, ob meji dežele Edóm, rekoč:

24 'Aaron shall be gathered unto his people; for he shall not enter into the land which I have given unto the children of Israel, because ye rebelled against My word at the waters of Meribah.

»Aron bo zbran k svojemu ljudstvu, kajti ne bo vstopil v deželo, ki sem jo dal Izraelovim otrokom, ker sta se uprla zoper mojo besedo pri vodi Meríbe.

25 Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto mount Hor.

Vzemi Arona in njegovega sina Eleazarja ter ju privedi gor na goro Hor

26 And strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son; and Aaron shall be gathered unto his people, and shall die there.'

in sleci Arona iz njegovih oblačil in jih nadeni na njegovega sina Eleazarja. Aron pa bo zbran k svojim ljudem in bo tam umrl.«

27 And Moses did as the LORD commanded; and they went up into mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.

Mojzes je storil kakor je Gospod zapovedal in odšli so na goro Hor pred očmi vse skupnosti.

28 And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there in the top of the mount; and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mount.

Mojzes je slekel Arona iz njegovih oblačil in jih nadel na njegovega sina Eleazarja in Aron je tam umrl, na vrhu gore, in Mojzes in Eleazar sta prišla dol z gore.

29 And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they wept for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.

Ko je vsa skupnost videla, da je bil Aron mrtev, so trideset dni žalovali za Aronom, celó vsa Izraelova hiša.
