Numbers 20
1 And the sons of Israel come in, — all the company — to the wilderness of Zin, in the first month, and the people abide in Kadesh, and Miriam dieth there, and is 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 hath been no water for the company, and they are assembled against Moses, and against Aaron,
会众没有水喝，就聚集攻击摩西、亚伦。
3 and the people strive with Moses, and speak, saying, 'And oh that we had expired when our brethren expired before Jehovah!
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 ye brought in the assembly of Jehovah unto this wilderness to die there, we and our beasts?
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 why hast thou brought us up out of Egypt to bring us in unto this evil place? no place of seed, and fig, and vine, and pomegranate; and water there is none 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 go in from the presence of the assembly unto the opening of the tent of meeting, and fall on their faces, and the honour of Jehovah is seen by 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 Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
耶和华晓谕摩西说：
8 'Take the rod, and assemble the company, thou and Aaron thy brother; and ye have spoken unto the rock before their eyes, and it hath given its water, and thou hast brought out to them water from the rock, and hast watered the company, and their beasts.'
“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 taketh the rod from before Jehovah, as He hath 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 assemble the assembly unto the front of the rock, and he saith to them, 'Hear, I pray you, O rebels, from this rock do we bring out to you water?'
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 lifteth up his hand, and smiteth the rock with his rod twice; and much water cometh out, and the company drink, also their beasts.
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 Jehovah saith unto Moses, and unto Aaron, 'Because ye have not believed in Me to sanctify Me before the eyes of the sons of Israel, therefore ye do not bring in this assembly unto the land which I have given to 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 These [are] waters of Meribah, because the sons of Israel have 'striven' with Jehovah, and He is sanctified upon 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 sendeth messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom, 'Thus said thy brother Israel, Thou — thou hast known all the travail which hath found 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 that our fathers go down to Egypt, and we dwell in Egypt many days, and the Egyptians do evil to us and to 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 we cry unto Jehovah, and He heareth our voice, and sendeth a messenger, and is bringing us out of Egypt; and lo, we [are] in Kadesh, a city [in] the extremity of thy 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 over, we pray thee, through thy land; we pass not over through a field, or through a vineyard, nor do we drink waters of a well; the way of the king we go, we turn not aside — right or left — till that we pass over thy 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 And Edom saith unto him, 'Thou dost not pass over through me, lest with sword I come out to meet thee.'
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 sons of Israel say unto him, 'In the highway we go, and if of thy waters we drink — I and my cattle — then I have given their price; only (it is nothing) on my feet I pass over.'
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 saith, 'Thou dost not pass over;' and Edom cometh out to meet 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 and Edom refuseth to suffer Israel to pass over through his border, and Israel turneth aside from off 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 sons of Israel, the whole company, journey from Kadesh, and come in unto mount Hor,
以色列全会众从加低斯起行，到了何珥山。
23 and Jehovah speaketh unto Moses and unto Aaron in mount Hor, on the border 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 is gathered unto his people, for he doth not go in unto the land which I have given to the sons of Israel, because that ye provoked My mouth 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 cause them to go up 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 thou hast clothed [with] them Eleazar his son, and Aaron is gathered, and doth 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 doth as Jehovah hath commanded, and they go up unto mount Hor before the eyes of all the company,
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 strippeth Aaron of his garments, and clotheth with them Eleazar his son, and Aaron dieth there on the top of the mount; and Moses cometh down — Eleazar also — 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 all the company see that Aaron hath expired, and they bewail Aaron thirty days — 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。
