< Numbers 20 >

1 Then came the sons of Israel the whole assembly, into the desert of Zin in the first month, and the people dwelt in Kadesh, —and Miriam died there, and was buried there.
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 there was no water for the assembly, —so they gathered together against Moses and against 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 the people contended with Moses, —and spake saying, Would then we had died when our brethren died, before Yahweh!
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 Wherefore then hast thou brought the convocation of Yahweh into this desert, —to die there, we, and our cattle?
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 And wherefore did ye cause us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us into this wretched place?—not a place of seeds, and figs, and vines and pomegranates, even water, is there none 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 went in from the presence of the multitude unto the entrance of the tent of meeting, and fell upon their faces, —and the glory of Yahweh appeared unto 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 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
ヱホバ、モーセに告て言たまはく
8 Take the staff and gather together the assembly, thou, and Aaron thy brother, then shall ye speak unto the cliff before their eyes and it shall give forth its waters, —so shalt thou bring forth unto them water, out of the cliff, and shalt cause the assembly, and their cattle to 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 And Moses took the staff from before Yahweh, —as he 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 Moses and Aaron gathered together the convocation before the cliff, —and he said unto them: Hear I pray you ye rebels! Out of this cliff, must we bring forth for you water?
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 Moses lifted high his hand and smote the cliff with his staff, twice, —and there came forth water in abundance, and the assembly and their cattle, did 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 Then said Yahweh unto Moses and unto Aaron, Because ye believed not in me, to hallow me in the eyes of the sons of Israel, therefore, shall ye not bring in this convocation into the land which I have given unto 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 The same, were the waters of Meribah [that is "Contention"] in that the sons of Israel contended with Yahweh, —and so he hallowed himself 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 And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh, unto the king of Edom, —Thus, saith thy brother Israel, Thou thyself, knowest all the distress which befell 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 and how our fathers went down to Egypt, and we abode in Egypt, many days, and that the Egyptians ill-treated 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 we made outcry unto Yahweh, and he heard our voice, and sent a messenger, and brought us forth out of Egypt, —lo! then, we, are in Kadesh, a city at the extremity of thy boundary,
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 Let us, we pray thee, pass through thy land—we will not pass through field or vineyard, nor will we drink the waters of a well, —by the king’s road, will we go—we will turn neither to the right hand nor to the left, until we get through thy boundary.
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 said unto him, Thou shalt not pass through my land, —lest with the sword, I come out to meet 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 sons of Israel said unto him—By the highway, will we go up, and if thy waters, we should drink—I, and my cattle then would I give the price thereof, —only—it is nothing!—with my feet, would I pass through.
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 And he said, Thou shalt not pass through. And Edom came out to meet him, with a strong people, and with a firm 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 Thus did Edom refuse to give Israel passage through his boundary, —and Israel turned away 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 Then set they forward from Kadesh, —and the sons of Israel. all the assembly, came in 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 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses and unto Aaron in Mount Hor, —near the boundary of the land of Edom saying:
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 shall be withdrawn unto his kinsfolk, for he shall not enter into the land. which I have given unto the sons of Israel, —because ye spurned my bidding, 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 thou Aaron, and Eleazar his son, —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 and strip thou Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son, —and, Aaron, shall be withdrawn and shall 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 And Moses did as Yahweh commanded, —and they went up into, Mount Hor, in sight of all the assembly.
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 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 out of the mount.
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 assembly saw that Aaron was dead; and they bewailed Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.
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
