Numbers 20
1 And the children of Israel, [even] the whole congregation, came into the wilderness of Sin, in the first month, and the people abode in Cades; and Mariam 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 gathered themselves together against Moses and Aaron.
Cumque indigeret aqua populus, convenerunt adversum Moysen et Aaron:
3 And the people reviled Moses, saying, Would we had died in the destruction of our brethren before the Lord!
et versi in seditionem, dixerunt: Utinam periissemus inter fratres nostros coram Domino.
4 And therefore have you brought up the congregation of the Lord into this wilderness, to kill us and our cattle?
Cur eduxistis Ecclesiam Domini in solitudinem, ut et nos et nostra iumenta moriamur?
5 And therefore [is] this? You have brought us up out of Egypt, that we should come into this evil place; a place where there is no sowing, neither figs, nor vines, nor pomegranates, neither is there 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 before the assembly to the door of the tabernacle of witness, and they fell upon their faces; and the glory of the Lord 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 the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
8 Take your rod, and call the assembly, you and Aaron your brother, and speak you to the rock before them, and it shall give forth its waters; and you shall bring forth for them water out of the rock, and give drink to the congregation and their cattle.
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 his rod which was before the Lord, as the Lord commanded.
Tulit igitur Moyses virgam, quae erat in conspectu Domini, sicut praeceperat ei,
10 And Moses and Aaron assembled the congregation before the rock, and said to them, Hear me, you disobedient ones; must we bring you water 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 struck the rock with his rod twice; and much water came forth, 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 the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, Because you have not believed me to sanctify me before the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this congregation 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 This is the water of Strife, because the children of Israel spoke insolently before the Lord, 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 Cades to the king of Edom, saying, Thus says your brother Israel; You know all the distress that has come upon us.
Misit interea nuncios Moyses de Cades ad regem Edom, qui dicerent: Haec mandat frater tuus Israel: Nosti omnem laborem qui apprehendit nos,
15 And [how] our fathers went down into Egypt, and we sojourned in Egypt many days, and the Egyptians afflicted us and our fathers.
quo modo descenderint patres nostri in Aegyptum, et habitaverimus ibi multo tempore, afflixerintque nos Aegyptii, et patres nostros:
16 And we cried to the Lord, and the Lord heard our voice, and sent an angel and brought us out of Egypt; and now we are in the city of Cades, at the extremity of your coasts.
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 We will pass through your land: we will not go through the fields, nor through the vineyards, nor will we drink water out of your cistern: we will go by the king's highway; we will not turn aside to the right hand or to the left, until we have passed your borders.
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, You shall not pass through me, and if otherwise, I will go forth to meet you in war.
Cui respondit Edom: Non transibis per me, alioquin armatus occurram tibi.
19 And the children of Israel say to him, We will pass by the mountain; and if I and my cattle drink of your water, I will pay you: but it is no matter of importance, we will go by the mountain.
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, You shall not pass through me; and Edom went forth to meet him with a great host, and a mighty hand.
At ille respondit: Non transibitis. Statimque egressus est obvius, cum infinita multitudo, et manu forti,
21 So Edom refused to allow Israel to pass through his borders, and 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 departed from Cades; and the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came to Mount Or.
Cumque castra movissent de Cades, venerunt in montem Hor, qui est in finibus terrae Edom:
23 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron in mount Or, on the borders of the land of Edom, saying,
ubi locutus est Dominus ad Moysen:
24 Let Aaron be added to his people; for you shall certainly not go into the land which I have given the children of Israel, because you provoked me at the water of strife.
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 the mount Or before all the congregation;
Tolle Aaron et filium eius cum eo, et duces eos in montem Hor.
26 and take Aaron's apparel from off him, and put it on Eleazar his son: and let Aaron die there and be added to [his people].
Cumque nudaveris patrem veste sua, indues ea Eleazarum filium eius: Aaron colligetur, et morietur ibi.
27 And Moses did as the Lord commanded him, and took him up to mount Or, before all the congregation.
Fecit Moyses ut praeceperat Dominus: et ascenderunt in montem Hor coram omni multitudine.
28 And he took Aaron's garments off him, and put them on Eleazar his son, and Aaron died on the top of the mountain; and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.
Cumque Aaron spoliasset vestibus suis, induit eis Eleazarum filium eius. Illo mortuo in montis supercilio, descendit cum Eleazaro.
29 And all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead: and 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.
