Numbers 20
1 Then came the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, into the desert of Zin in the first month: and the people abode in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there.
正月间，以色列全会众到了寻的旷野，就住在加低斯。米利暗死在那里，就葬在那里。
2 And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.
会众没有水喝，就聚集攻击摩西、亚伦。
3 And the people find fault with Moses, and spoke, saying, Would God that we had died when our brethren died before the LORD!
百姓向摩西争闹说：“我们的弟兄曾死在耶和华面前，我们恨不得与他们同死。
4 And why have all of you brought up the congregation of the LORD into this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there?
你们为何把耶和华的会众领到这旷野、使我们和牲畜都死在这里呢？
5 And wherefore have all of you 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.
你们为何逼着我们出埃及、领我们到这坏地方呢？这地方不好撒种，也没有无花果树、葡萄树、石榴树，又没有水喝。”
6 And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon their faces: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto them.
摩西、亚伦离开会众，到会幕门口，俯伏在地；耶和华的荣光向他们显现。
7 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
耶和华晓谕摩西说：
8 Take the rod, and gather you the assembly together, you, and Aaron your brother, and speak all of you unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and you shall bring forth to them water out of the rock: so you shall give the congregation and their beasts drink.
“你拿着杖去，和你的哥哥亚伦招聚会众，在他们眼前吩咐磐石发出水来，水就从磐石流出，给会众和他们的牲畜喝。”
9 And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him.
于是摩西照耶和华所吩咐的，从耶和华面前取了杖去。
10 And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, all of you rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?
摩西、亚伦就招聚会众到磐石前。摩西说：“你们这些背叛的人听我说：我为你们使水从这磐石中流出来吗？”
11 And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he stroke the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also.
摩西举手，用杖击打磐石两下，就有许多水流出来，会众和他们的牲畜都喝了。
12 And the LORD spoke unto Moses and Aaron, Because all of you believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore all of you shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.
耶和华对摩西、亚伦说：“因为你们不信我，不在以色列人眼前尊我为圣，所以你们必不得领这会众进我所赐给他们的地去。”
13 This is the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them.
这水名叫米利巴水，是因以色列人向耶和华争闹，耶和华就在他们面前显为圣。
14 And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom, Thus says your brother Israel, You know all the travail that has befallen us:
摩西从加低斯差遣使者去见以东王，说：“你的弟兄以色列人这样说：‘我们所遭遇的一切艰难，
15 How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have dwelt in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians vexed us, and our fathers:
就是我们的列祖下到埃及，我们在埃及久住；埃及人恶待我们的列祖和我们，
16 And when we cried unto the LORD, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and has brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of your border:
我们哀求耶和华的时候，他听了我们的声音，差遣使者把我们从埃及领出来。这事你都知道。如今，我们在你边界上的城加低斯。
17 Let us pass, I pray you, through your country: we will not pass through the fields, or through the vineyards, neither will we drink of the water of the wells: we will go by the king's high way, we will not turn to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed your borders.
求你容我们从你的地经过。我们不走田间和葡萄园，也不喝井里的水，只走大道，不偏左右，直到过了你的境界。’”
18 And Edom said unto him, You shall not pass by me, lest I come out against you with the sword.
以东王说：“你不可从我的地经过，免得我带刀出去攻击你。”
19 And the children of Israel said unto him, We will go by the high way: and if I and my cattle drink of your water, then I will pay for it: I will only, without doing anything else, go through on my feet.
以色列人说：“我们要走大道上去；我们和牲畜若喝你的水，必给你价值。不求别的，只求你容我们步行过去。”
20 And he said, You shall not go through. And Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand.
以东王说：“你们不可经过！”就率领许多人出来，要用强硬的手攻击以色列人。
21 Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border: wherefore Israel turned away from him.
这样，以东王不肯容以色列人从他的境界过去。于是他们转去，离开他。
22 And the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, journeyed from Kadesh, and came unto mount Hor.
以色列全会众从加低斯起行，到了何珥山。
23 And the LORD spoke unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the coast of the land of Edom, saying,
耶和华在附近以东边界的何珥山上晓谕摩西、亚伦说：
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 all of you rebelled against my word at the water of Meribah.
“亚伦要归到他列祖那里。他必不得入我所赐给以色列人的地；因为在米利巴水，你们违背了我的命。
25 Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto mount Hor:
你带亚伦和他的儿子以利亚撒上何珥山，
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.
把亚伦的圣衣脱下来，给他的儿子以利亚撒穿上；亚伦必死在那里，归他列祖。”
27 And Moses did as the LORD commanded: and they went up into mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.
摩西就照耶和华所吩咐的行。三人当着会众的眼前上了何珥山。
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.
摩西把亚伦的圣衣脱下来，给他的儿子以利亚撒穿上，亚伦就死在山顶那里。于是摩西和以利亚撒下了山。
29 And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they mourned for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.
全会众，就是以色列全家，见亚伦已经死了，便都为亚伦哀哭了三十天。
