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 children of Israel, the whole assembly, came into the wilderness of Zin, in the first month; and the people abode at 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 assembly, and they gathered 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 contended with Moses, and spoke, saying, Would that we had died when our brethren 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 congregation 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 go up out of Egypt, to bring us 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 before the congregation to the entrance 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 staff, and gather the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes, and it shall give its water; and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock, and shalt give the assembly and their beasts drink.

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

And Moses took the staff from before Jehovah, as he had 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 congregation together before the rock, and he said to them, Hear now, ye rebels: shall we bring forth to you water 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 with his staff smote the rock twice, and much water came out, and the assembly drank, and their beasts.

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 to Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to hallow me before the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land that 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, where the children of Israel contended with Jehovah, and he hallowed himself 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 knowest all the trouble that hath 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 to Egypt, and we dwelt in Egypt a long time, and the Egyptians evil entreated 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 angel, and brought us forth out of Egypt; and behold, we are at Kadesh, a city at the extremity 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 country; we will not pass through fields, or through vineyards, neither will we drink water out of the wells: we will go by the king's road; we will not turn 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.«

But Edom said to him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword.

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 children of Israel said to him, We will go by the high way; and if we drink of thy water, I and my cattle, then I will pay for it: I will only, without anything else, go 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 shalt not go through. And Edom came out against him with much 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 territory; and Israel turned away from him.

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

And they removed from Kadesh; and the children of Israel, the whole assembly, 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 to Aaron in mount Hor, on 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 unto his peoples; for he shall not enter into the land that I have given unto the children of Israel, because ye rebelled against my commandment 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 unto 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 [to his peoples], 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 had commanded, and they went up mount Hor before the eyes of the whole assembly.

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 upon the top of the mountain; and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.

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

And the whole assembly saw that Aaron was dead, and they mourned for Aaron thirty days, [even] the whole house of Israel.
