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.
Potom stigoše Izraelci, sva zajednica, u pustinju Sin u prvome mjesecu. Narod se nastani u Kadešu. Ondje umrije Mirjam i ondje je sahraniše.
2 There was no water for the community, so they assembled together against Moses and Aaron.
Nije bilo vode za zajednicu. Stoga se udruže protiv Mojsija i protiv Arona.
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!
Narod se poče svađati s Mojsijem i govoriti: “Da smo bar izginuli kad su nam i braća poginula pred Jahvom!
4 Why have you brought Yahweh's community into this wilderness to die here, we and our animals?
Zašto ste doveli Jahvinu zajednicu u ovu pustinju da ovdje pomremo i mi i naša stoka?
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.”
Zašto ste nas izveli iz Egipta da nas dovedete u ovo nesretno mjesto; mjesto u kojem nema ni žita, ni smokava, ni loze, ni mogranja? Nema ni vode da pijemo.”
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.
Mojsije i Aron odu ispred zajednice do ulaza u Šator sastanka i padnu ničice. Tada im se pokaza slava Jahvina.
7 Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
I Jahve reče Mojsiju:
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.”
“Uzmi štap pa ti i tvoj brat Aron skupite zajednicu. Onda, na njihove oči, progovorite pećini da ustupi svoje vode. Iz pećine im izvedi vodu te napoj zajednicu i njezino blago.”
9 Moses took the staff from before Yahweh, as Yahweh had commanded him to do.
Mojsije uzme štap ispred Jahve kako mu je naredio.
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?”
Zatim Mojsije i Aron skupe zbor pred pećinu pa im Mojsije rekne: “Čujte, buntovnici! Hoćemo li vam iz ove pećine izvesti vodu?”
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.
Zatim Mojsije podigne ruku i dvaput udari štapom o pećinu: voda provali u obilju, pa su mogli piti i zajednica i njezino blago.
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.”
Potom će Jahve Mojsiju i Aronu: “Budući da se niste pouzdavali u me i niste me svetim očitovali u očima sinova Izraelovih, nećete uvesti ovaj zbor u zemlju koju im dajem.”
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.
To su Meripske vode, kraj njih su se Izraelci prepirali s Jahvom, a on se pokazao svetim.
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.
Iz Kadeša pošalje Mojsije glasnike: “Kralju Edoma. Ovako veli tvoj brat Izrael: 'Ti znaš sve jade koji su nas snašli.
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.
Naši se preci spustiše u Egipat. U Egiptu smo proboravili mnogo vremena. Egipćani su s nama i s našim precima loše postupali.
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.
Stoga smo vapili Jahvi, i on ču naš glas i posla anđela koji nas izbavi iz Egipta. Evo nas sad u Kadešu, gradu uz rub tvoga područja.
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.”
Pusti nas da prođemo kroz tvoju zemlju. Nećemo ići preko polja ni vinograda niti ćemo piti vodu iz bunara; ići ćemo Kraljevskim putem, ne skrećući ni desno ni lijevo, dok ne prođemo tvoje područje.”
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.”
Edom mu odgovori: “Ne prolazi preko moje zemlje, jer eto me s mačem preda te!”
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.”
“Ići ćemo utrenikom”, rekoše Izraelci, “a budemo li pili tvoje vode, mi i naša stada, za to ćemo ti platiti. Ništa više, samo da prođemo pješice.”
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.
“Ne prolazi!” - odgovori. I Edom mu izađe u susret s mnogo ljudi i s velikom silom.
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.
Tako Edom nije dopustio Izraelu da prođe kroz njegovo područje i Izrael se okrenu od njega.
22 So the people journeyed from Kadesh. The people of Israel, the whole community, came to Mount Hor.
Zaputivši se od Kadeša, stigoše Izraelci, sva zajednica, k brdu Horu.
23 Yahweh spoke to Moses and Aaron at Mount Hor, on Edom's border. He said,
Kod brda Hora, uz među edomsku, reče Jahve Mojsiju i Aronu:
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.
“Neka se Aron pridruži svojim precima! Neće ući u zemlju koju dajem Izraelcima, jer ste se oprli mojoj zapovijedi kod Meripskih voda.
25 Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up to Mount Hor.
Uzmi Arona i njegova sina Eleazara, pa ih izvedi na brdo Hor.
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.”
I svuci Aronu njegove haljine pa ih obuci njegovu sinu Eleazaru. Aron će se pridružiti precima, umrijet će ondje.”
27 Moses did as Yahweh commanded. They went up Mount Hor in the sight of all the community.
Mojsije učini kako naredi Jahve. Pred svom zajednicom popeše se na brdo Hor.
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.
Mojsije svuče s Arona njegove haljine te ih obuče njegovu sinu Eleazaru. Ondje navrh brda umrije Aron. Zatim se Mojsije i Eleazar spustiše s brda.
29 When all the community saw that Aaron was dead, the entire nation wept for Aaron for thirty days.
Sva zajednica vidje da je Aron preminuo i sav dom Izraelov oplakivaše Arona trideset dana.
