民數記 20
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
磐石出水
20 一月,以色列全體會眾抵達荀曠野,在加低斯安營。米利暗離世,葬在那裡。 2 會眾沒有水喝,就聚集起來反對摩西和亞倫, 3 他們埋怨說:「還不如當初跟我們的弟兄一起死在耶和華面前! 4 你們為什麼領耶和華的會眾到這曠野來,要叫我們和牲畜都死在這裡嗎? 5 你們為什麼把我們領出埃及,帶到這不毛之地?這裡沒有五穀、無花果樹、葡萄樹和石榴樹,甚至沒有水喝。」 6 摩西和亞倫離開會眾到會幕門口,俯伏在地。耶和華的榮光向他們顯現。 7 耶和華對摩西說: 8 「你拿著杖和你哥哥亞倫招聚會眾,當著他們的面吩咐磐石流出水來,水就會從磐石流出,供會眾和牲畜喝。」 9 摩西遵命而行,從耶和華面前取了杖, 10 然後和亞倫把會眾招聚到磐石前,說:「你們這些叛逆之徒聽著,非要我們叫磐石給你們流出水來嗎?」 11 接著,摩西舉起手中的杖擊打磐石兩下,水便噴湧而出,會眾和牲畜都喝了。
12 耶和華對摩西和亞倫說:「你們對我沒有足夠的信心,沒有當著以色列人的面尊我為聖,所以你們不得帶領會眾進入我將要賜給他們的土地。」 13 這地方叫米利巴泉,因為以色列人在那裡埋怨耶和華,耶和華就向他們彰顯了祂的聖潔。
以東王不借路
14 摩西從加低斯派使者去見以東王,說:「你的弟兄以色列人說,你知道我們遭遇的種種困難。 15 我們祖先到埃及寄居多年,我們世代受埃及人虐待。 16 但我們呼求耶和華,祂就垂聽了我們的聲音,差遣天使把我們領出埃及。現在我們來到你邊境的加低斯城, 17 求你容我們借道貴國。我們不會踏入田地和葡萄園,也不會喝井裡的水,只走大路,不會偏離,直到走出貴國。」 18 以東王卻說:「你們不可從我這裡經過,否則我必兵戎相見。」 19 以色列人說:「我們只走大路,倘若我們和牲畜喝了你的水,我們會付錢。我們別無他求,只求步行穿過貴國。」 20 但以東王仍然不准,還率領大軍嚴陣以待。 21 由於無法從以東穿過,以色列人只好繞道。
亞倫離世
22 以色列全體會眾從加低斯出發,來到何珥山。 23 耶和華在位於以東邊界的何珥山對摩西和亞倫說: 24 「亞倫要去他祖先那裡了,他不能進入我賜給以色列人的土地,因為你們在米利巴泉違背了我的命令。 25 摩西啊,你要帶亞倫和他兒子以利亞撒上何珥山, 26 把亞倫的聖衣脫下來給他兒子以利亞撒穿上,因為亞倫將死在那裡。」 27 摩西遵命而行。他們三人就當著全體會眾的面上了何珥山。 28 摩西把亞倫的聖衣脫下,給以利亞撒穿上。隨後亞倫在山頂離世。摩西和以利亞撒便下了山。 29 以色列全體會眾得知亞倫離世,就為他哀悼了三十天。
Numbers 20
American Standard Version
20 And the children 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 And there was no water for the congregation: and they assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron. 3 And the people strove with Moses, and spake, saying, Would that we had died when our brethren died before Jehovah! 4 And why have ye brought the assembly of Jehovah into this wilderness, that we should die there, we and our beasts? 5 And wherefore have ye made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in unto 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 And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door of the tent of meeting, and fell upon their faces: and the glory of Jehovah appeared unto them. 7 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 8 Take the rod, and assemble the congregation, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes, that it give forth its water; and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock; so thou shalt give the congregation and their cattle drink. 9 And Moses took the rod from before Jehovah, as he commanded him.
10 And Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; shall we bring you forth water out of this rock? 11 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 And Jehovah said unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed not in me, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them. 13 These are the waters of [a]Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with Jehovah, and he [b]was sanctified in them.
14 And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom, Thus saith thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the travail that hath befallen us: 15 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 and when we cried unto Jehovah, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border. 17 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 And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass through me, lest I come out with the sword against thee. 19 And the children of Israel said unto 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 thereof: let me only, without doing anything else, pass through on my feet. 20 And he said, Thou shalt not pass through. And Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand. 21 Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border: wherefore Israel turned away from him.
22 And they journeyed from Kadesh: and the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came unto mount Hor. 23 And Jehovah spake unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the border of the land of Edom, saying, 24 Aaron shall be gathered unto his people; for he shall not enter into the land which I have given unto the children of Israel, because ye rebelled against my word at the waters of Meribah. 25 Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto mount Hor; 26 and strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son: and Aaron shall be gathered unto his people, and shall die there. 27 And Moses did as Jehovah commanded: and they went up into mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation. 28 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 And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they wept for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.

Nueva Biblia de las Américas
Dios da al pueblo agua de una roca
20 (A)Toda la congregación de los israelitas llegaron al desierto de Zin(B) en el mes primero; y el pueblo se quedó en Cades. Allí murió Miriam y allí la sepultaron.
2 Y no había agua para la congregación(C); y se juntaron contra Moisés y Aarón(D). 3 El pueblo discutió con Moisés(E) y le dijo: «¡Ojalá hubiéramos perecido(F) cuando nuestros hermanos murieron delante del Señor(G)! 4 ¿Por qué, pues, has traído al pueblo del Señor a este desierto, para que nosotros y nuestros animales muramos aquí(H)? 5 ¿Y por qué nos hiciste subir de Egipto, para traernos a este miserable lugar? No es lugar de siembras, ni de higueras, ni de viñas, ni de granados, ni aun hay agua para beber(I)».
6 Entonces Moisés y Aarón fueron de delante de la asamblea a la puerta de la tienda de reunión, y se postraron sobre sus rostros(J); y se les apareció la gloria del Señor. 7 Y el Señor habló a Moisés: 8 «Toma la vara(K) y reúne a la congregación, tú y tu hermano Aarón, y hablen a la peña a la vista de ellos, para que la peña dé su agua. Así sacarás para ellos agua de la peña, y beban la congregación y sus animales». 9 Tomó Moisés la vara de la presencia del Señor(L), tal como Él se lo había ordenado; 10 y Moisés y Aarón reunieron al pueblo ante la peña. Y él les dijo: «Oigan, ahora, rebeldes(M). ¿Sacaremos agua de esta peña para ustedes?». 11 Entonces Moisés levantó su mano y golpeó la peña dos veces con su vara, y brotó agua en abundancia(N), y bebió el pueblo y sus animales.
12 Y el Señor dijo a Moisés y a Aarón: «Porque ustedes no me creyeron a fin de tratarme como santo ante los ojos de los israelitas, por tanto no conducirán a este pueblo a la tierra que les he dado(O)». 13 Aquellas fueron las aguas de Meriba[a](P) porque los israelitas discutieron con el Señor, y Él manifestó Su santidad entre ellos.
Edom rehúsa el paso a Israel
14 Moisés envió mensajeros desde Cades al rey de Edom(Q), diciéndole: «Así ha dicho su hermano Israel: “Usted sabe todas las dificultades que nos han sobrevenido(R); 15 que nuestros padres descendieron a Egipto, y estuvimos por largo tiempo en Egipto, y los egipcios nos maltrataron a nosotros y a nuestros padres. 16 Pero cuando clamamos al Señor(S), Él oyó nuestra voz y envió un ángel y nos sacó de Egipto(T). Ahora estamos en Cades, un pueblo de la frontera de tu territorio. 17 Permítanos, por favor, pasar por su tierra(U). No pasaremos por campo labrado ni por viñedo; ni siquiera beberemos agua de pozo. Iremos por el camino real, sin volver a la derecha ni a la izquierda hasta que crucemos su territorio”». 18 Pero, Edom(V) le respondió: «Tú no pasarás por mi tierra; para que no salga yo con espada a tu encuentro».
19 Entonces los israelitas le contestaron: «Iremos por el camino principal, y si yo y mi ganado(W) bebemos de su agua, entonces le pagaré su precio(X). Solamente déjeme pasar a pie, nada más». 20 Pero él dijo: «Tú no pasarás(Y)». Y Edom salió a su encuentro con mucha gente y con mano fuerte. 21 Rehusó, pues, Edom dejar pasar a Israel por su territorio(Z), así que Israel tuvo que desviarse(AA).
Muerte de Aarón
22 Partiendo de Cades(AB), toda la congregación de los israelitas llegó al monte Hor. 23 El Señor habló a Moisés y a Aarón en el monte Hor, en la frontera de la tierra de Edom(AC) y les dijo: 24 «Aarón será reunido a su pueblo(AD), pues no entrará a la tierra que Yo he dado a los israelitas, porque ustedes se rebelaron contra Mi orden en las aguas de Meriba(AE). 25 Toma a Aarón y a su hijo Eleazar(AF) y tráelos al monte Hor; 26 y quítale a Aarón sus vestidos y ponlos sobre su hijo Eleazar. Entonces Aarón será reunido a su pueblo(AG), y morirá allí».
27 Moisés hizo tal como el Señor le ordenó, y subieron al monte Hor ante los ojos de toda la congregación. 28 Y después que Moisés le quitó a Aarón sus vestidos(AH) y se los puso a su hijo Eleazar, Aarón murió allí sobre la cumbre del monte(AI), y Moisés y Eleazar descendieron del monte. 29 Cuando toda la congregación vio que Aarón había muerto, toda la casa de Israel lloró a Aarón por treinta días(AJ).

Numbers 20
New International Version
Water From the Rock
20 In the first month the whole Israelite community arrived at the Desert of Zin,(A) and they stayed at Kadesh.(B) There Miriam(C) died and was buried.
2 Now there was no water(D) for the community,(E) and the people gathered in opposition(F) to Moses and Aaron. 3 They quarreled(G) with Moses and said, “If only we had died when our brothers fell dead(H) before the Lord!(I) 4 Why did you bring the Lord’s community into this wilderness,(J) that we and our livestock should die here?(K) 5 Why did you bring us up out of Egypt to this terrible place? It has no grain or figs, grapevines or pomegranates.(L) And there is no water to drink!(M)”
6 Moses and Aaron went from the assembly to the entrance to the tent of meeting(N) and fell facedown,(O) and the glory of the Lord(P) appeared to them. 7 The Lord said to Moses, 8 “Take the staff,(Q) and you and your brother Aaron gather the assembly together. Speak to that rock before their eyes and it will pour out its water.(R) You will bring water out of the rock for the community so they and their livestock can drink.”
9 So Moses took the staff(S) from the Lord’s presence,(T) just as he commanded him. 10 He and Aaron gathered the assembly together(U) in front of the rock and Moses said to them, “Listen, you rebels, must we bring you water out of this rock?”(V) 11 Then Moses raised his arm and struck the rock twice with his staff. Water(W) gushed out, and the community and their livestock drank.
12 But the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not trust in me enough to honor me as holy(X) in the sight of the Israelites, you will not bring this community into the land I give them.”(Y)
13 These were the waters of Meribah,[a](Z) where the Israelites quarreled(AA) with the Lord and where he was proved holy among them.(AB)
Edom Denies Israel Passage
14 Moses sent messengers from Kadesh(AC) to the king of Edom,(AD) saying:
“This is what your brother Israel says: You know(AE) about all the hardships(AF) that have come on us. 15 Our ancestors went down into Egypt,(AG) and we lived there many years.(AH) The Egyptians mistreated(AI) us and our ancestors, 16 but when we cried out to the Lord, he heard our cry(AJ) and sent an angel(AK) and brought us out of Egypt.(AL)
“Now we are here at Kadesh, a town on the edge of your territory.(AM) 17 Please let us pass through your country. We will not go through any field or vineyard, or drink water from any well. We will travel along the King’s Highway and not turn to the right or to the left until we have passed through your territory.(AN)”
18 But Edom(AO) answered:
“You may not pass through here; if you try, we will march out and attack you with the sword.(AP)”
19 The Israelites replied:
“We will go along the main road, and if we or our livestock(AQ) drink any of your water, we will pay for it.(AR) We only want to pass through on foot—nothing else.”
20 Again they answered:
“You may not pass through.(AS)”
Then Edom(AT) came out against them with a large and powerful army. 21 Since Edom refused to let them go through their territory,(AU) Israel turned away from them.(AV)
The Death of Aaron
22 The whole Israelite community set out from Kadesh(AW) and came to Mount Hor.(AX) 23 At Mount Hor, near the border of Edom,(AY) the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, 24 “Aaron will be gathered to his people.(AZ) He will not enter the land I give the Israelites, because both of you rebelled against my command(BA) at the waters of Meribah.(BB) 25 Get Aaron and his son Eleazar and take them up Mount Hor.(BC) 26 Remove Aaron’s garments(BD) and put them on his son Eleazar, for Aaron will be gathered to his people;(BE) he will die there.”
27 Moses did as the Lord commanded: They went up Mount Hor(BF) in the sight of the whole community. 28 Moses removed Aaron’s garments and put them on his son Eleazar.(BG) And Aaron died there(BH) on top of the mountain. Then Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain, 29 and when the whole community learned that Aaron had died,(BI) all the Israelites mourned for him(BJ) thirty days.
