Numbers 20
1 So the people of Israel, the whole community, went into the wilderness of Zin in the first month; they stayed at Kadesh. There Miriam died and was buried.
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 There was no water for the community, so they assembled together against Moses and Aaron.
会众没有水喝，就聚集攻击摩西、亚伦。
3 The people complained against Moses. They said, “It would have been better if we had died when our fellow Israelites died in front of Yahweh!
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 Why have you brought Yahweh's community into this wilderness to die here, we and our animals?
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 Why did you make us come up out of Egypt to bring us to this horrible place? Here there is no seed, figs, vines, or pomegranates, and there is no 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 So Moses and Aaron went away from in front of the assembly. They went to the entrance of the tent of meeting and lay facedown. There Yahweh's brilliant glory appeared to 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 Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
耶和华晓谕摩西说：
8 “Take the staff and assemble the community, you, and Aaron your brother. Speak to the rock before their eyes, and command it to flow with water. You will produce water for them out of that rock, and you must give it to the community and their cattle to 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 Moses took the staff from before Yahweh, as Yahweh had commanded him to do.
于是摩西照耶和华所吩咐的，从耶和华面前取了杖去。
10 Then Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock. Moses said to them, “Listen now, you rebels. Must we bring water out of this rock for you?”
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 Then Moses raised his hand and struck the rock twice with his staff, and much water came out. The community drank, and their cattle drank.
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 Then Yahweh said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not trust me or honor me as holy in the eyes of the people of Israel, you will not bring this assembly into the land 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 place was called the waters of Meribah because the people of Israel had quarreled with Yahweh there, and he showed himself to them as holy.
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 Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom: Your brother Israel says this: “You know all the difficulties that have happened to 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 You know that our ancestors went down to Egypt and lived in Egypt a long time. The Egyptians treated us harshly and also our ancestors.
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 When we called out to Yahweh, he heard our voice and sent an angel and brought us out of Egypt. Look, we are in Kadesh, a city on the border of your land.
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 I am asking you to let us pass through your land. We will not pass through field or vineyard, nor will we drink the water in your wells. We will go along the king's highway. We will not turn aside to the right hand or to the left until we have passed your border.”
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 But the king of Edom replied to him, “You may not pass through here. If you do, I will come with the sword to attack you.”
以东王说：“你不可从我的地经过，免得我带刀出去攻击你。”
19 Then the people of Israel said to him, “We will go along the highway. If we or our livestock drink your water, we will pay for it. Just let us walk through on foot, without doing anything else.”
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 But the king of Edom replied, “You may not pass through.” So the king of Edom came against Israel with a strong hand with many soldiers.
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 The king of Edom refused to allow Israel to cross over their border. Because of this, Israel turned away from the land of Edom.
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 So the people journeyed from Kadesh. The people of Israel, the whole community, came to Mount Hor.
以色列全会众从加低斯起行，到了何珥山。
23 Yahweh spoke to Moses and Aaron at Mount Hor, on Edom's border. He said,
耶和华在附近以东边界的何珥山上晓谕摩西、亚伦说：
24 “Aaron must be gathered to his people, for he will not enter the land that I have given to the people of Israel. This is because you both rebelled against my word at the waters 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 to Mount Hor.
你带亚伦和他的儿子以利亚撒上何珥山，
26 Take Aaron's priestly garments off him and put them on Eleazar his son. Aaron must die and be gathered to his people 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 Moses did as Yahweh commanded. They went up Mount Hor in the sight of all the community.
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 Moses took Aaron's priestly garments off him and put them on Eleazar his son. Aaron died there on the top of the mountain. Then Moses and Eleazar came down.
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 When all the community saw that Aaron was dead, the entire nation wept for Aaron for thirty days.
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。
