4 Mojzes 20

1 Potem so prišli Izraelovi otroci, torej celotna skupnost, v puščavo Cin, v prvem mesecu, in ljudstvo je ostalo v Kadešu in Mirjam je tam umrla in bila tam pokopana.

And the sons of Israel, even the whole congregation, came into the wilderness of Zin in the first month, and the people abode in Kadesh. And Miriam died there, and was buried there.

2 Tam pa ni bilo nobene vode za skupnost in skupaj so se zbrali zoper Mojzesa in zoper Arona.

And there was no water for the congregation, and they assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.

3 Ljudje so se pričkali z Mojzesom in govorili, rekoč: »Da bi Bog dal, da bi umrli, ko so naši bratje umrli pred Gospodom!

And the people strove with Moses, and spoke, saying, Would that we had died when our brothers died before Jehovah!

4 In zakaj sta Gospodovo skupnost privedla gor v to divjino, da bi mi in naša živina v njej umrli?

And why have ye brought the assembly of Jehovah into this wilderness, that we should die there, we and our beasts?

5 In zakaj sta nas pripravila, da pridemo gor iz Egipta, da nas privedeta na ta zlobni kraj? To ni kraj semen ali fig ali vinskih trt ali granatnih jabolk niti ni tukaj nobene vode za pitje.«

And why have ye made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in to this evil place? It is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates, neither is there any water to drink.

6 Mojzes in Aron sta od prisotnosti zbora odšla k vratom šotorskega svetišča skupnosti ter padla na svoja obraza in prikazala se jima je Gospodova slava.

And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the door of the tent of meeting, and fell upon their faces. And the glory of Jehovah appeared to them.

7 Gospod je spregovoril Mojzesu, rekoč:

And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

8 »Vzemi palico in ti in tvoj brat Aron zberita skupaj skupnost in pred njihovimi očmi spregovorita skali in ta bo dala svojo vodo in ti jim boš prinesel vodo iz skale. Tako boš dal piti zboru in njihovim živalim.«

Take the rod, and assemble the congregation, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye to the rock before their eyes, that it give forth its water, and thou shall bring forth water to them out of the rock. So thou shall give the congregation and their cattle drink.

9 Mojzes je vzel palico izpred Gospoda, kakor mu je zapovedal.

And Moses took the rod from before Jehovah, as he commanded him.

10 Mojzes in Aron sta pred skalo zbrala skupnost in jim rekla: »Poslušajte sedaj, vi uporniki, ali vam moreva iz te skale izpeljati vodo?«

And Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock, and he said to them, Hear now, ye rebels. Shall we bring forth water to you out of this rock?

11 Mojzes je dvignil svojo roko in s svojo palico dvakrat udaril skalo in voda se je obilno prikazala in skupnost je pila in tudi njihove živali.

And Moses lifted up his hand, and smote the rock with his rod twice, and water came forth abundantly. And the congregation drank, and their cattle.

12 Gospod pa je spregovoril Mojzesu in Aronu: »Ker mi nista verovala, da bi me izkazala svetega v očeh Izraelovih otrok, zato te skupnosti ne bosta privedla v deželo, ki sem jim jo dal.«

And Jehovah said to Moses and Aaron, Because ye did not believe in me, to sanctify me in the eyes of the sons of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.

13 To je voda iz Meríbe; ker so se Izraelovi otroci prepirali z Gospodom in je bil on posvečen v njih.

These are the waters of Meribah, because the sons of Israel strove with Jehovah, and he was sanctified in them.

14 Mojzes je k edómskemu kralju poslal poslance iz Kadeša: »Tako govori tvoj brat Izrael: ›Ti poznaš vse muke, ki so nas doletele.

And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, Thus says thy brother Israel, Thou know all the travail that has befallen us,

15 Kako so naši očetje odšli dol v Egipt in smo dolgo časa prebivali v Egiptu; Egipčani pa so dražili nas in naše očete.

how our fathers went down into Egypt, and we dwelt in Egypt a long time. And the Egyptians dealt ill with us and our fathers.

16 In ko smo klicali h Gospodu, je slišal naš glas in poslal angela in nas privedel iz egiptovske dežele. In glej, mi smo v Kadešu, v mestu na tvoji najbolj oddaljeni meji.

And when we cried to Jehovah, he heard our voice, and sent an agent, and brought us forth out of Egypt. And, behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the outermost of thy border.

17 Naj prečkamo, prosim te, skozi tvojo deželo. Ne bomo šli skozi polja ali skozi vinograde niti ne bomo pili vode iz vodnjakov. Šli bomo po kraljevi visoki poti, ne bomo se obrnili k desni roki niti ne k levi, dokler ne prečkamo tvojih meja.‹«

Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy land. We will not pass through field or through vineyard, neither will we drink of the water of the wells. We will go along the king's highway. We will not turn aside to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy border.

18 Edóm pa mu je rekel: »Ne boš prečkal poleg mene, da ne bi jaz z mečem prišel zoper tebe.«

And Edom said to him, Thou shall not pass through me, lest I come out with the sword against thee.

19 Izraelovi otroci so mu rekli: »Šli bomo po visoki poti. In če jaz in moja živina pije od tvoje vode, potem bom plačal zanjo. Samo šel bom, ne da bi počel karkoli drugega bom šel skozi po svojih stopalih.«

And the sons of Israel said to him, We will go up by the highway. And if we drink of thy water, I and my cattle, then will I give the price of it. Only let me, without doing anything, pass through on my feet.

20 Rekel je: »Ne boš šel skozi.« In Edóm je prišel ven zoper njega, z mnogo ljudstva in z močno roko.

And he said, Thou shall not pass through. And Edom came out against him with many people, and with a strong hand.

21 Tako je Edóm odklonil dati Izraelu prehod skozi njegovo mejo, zato se je Izrael obrnil proč od njega.

Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border. Therefore Israel turned away from him.

22 Izraelovi otroci, torej celotna skupnost, so potovali od Kadeša in prišli na goro Hor.

And they journeyed from Kadesh, and the sons of Israel, even the whole congregation, came to mount Hor.

23 Gospod je govoril Mojzesu in Aronu na gori Hor, ob meji dežele Edóm, rekoč:

And Jehovah spoke to Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the border of the land of Edom, saying,

24 »Aron bo zbran k svojemu ljudstvu, kajti ne bo vstopil v deželo, ki sem jo dal Izraelovim otrokom, ker sta se uprla zoper mojo besedo pri vodi Meríbe.

Aaron shall be gathered to his people, for he shall not enter into the land which I have given to the sons of Israel, because ye rebelled against my word at the waters of Meribah.

25 Vzemi Arona in njegovega sina Eleazarja ter ju privedi gor na goro Hor

Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up to mount Hor,

26 in sleci Arona iz njegovih oblačil in jih nadeni na njegovega sina Eleazarja. Aron pa bo zbran k svojim ljudem in bo tam umrl.«

and strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son. And Aaron shall be gathered, and shall die there.

27 Mojzes je storil kakor je Gospod zapovedal in odšli so na goro Hor pred očmi vse skupnosti.

And Moses did as Jehovah commanded. And they went up into mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.

28 Mojzes je slekel Arona iz njegovih oblačil in jih nadel na njegovega sina Eleazarja in Aron je tam umrl, na vrhu gore, in Mojzes in Eleazar sta prišla dol z gore.

And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son. And Aaron died there on the top of the mount, and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mount.

29 Ko je vsa skupnost videla, da je bil Aron mrtev, so trideset dni žalovali za Aronom, celó vsa Izraelova hiša.

And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they wept for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.
