Numeri 20
Nouă Traducere În Limba Română
Moartea lui Miriam. Apă din stâncă
20 Toată adunarea israeliţilor a ajuns în pustia Ţin în luna întâi. Poporul s-a stabilit în Kadeş. Acolo a murit şi a fost îngropată Miriam.
2 Nu era apă pentru adunare, astfel că ei s-au adunat împotriva lui Moise şi împotriva lui Aaron. 3 Poporul s-a certat cu Moise şi a zis:
– Mai bine am fi murit când au murit fraţii noştri înaintea Domnului! 4 De ce aţi adus adunarea Domnului în pustia aceasta? Ca să murim aici şi noi şi vitele noastre? 5 De ce ne-aţi scos din Egipt să ne aduceţi în acest loc uscat? Nu este nici loc de semănat, nici smochin, nici viţă, nici rodie şi nu este nici apă de băut.
6 Moise şi Aaron au plecat din adunare la intrarea în Cortul Întâlnirii şi au căzut cu feţele la pământ. Atunci li s-a arătat slava Domnului. 7 Domnul i-a spus lui Moise: 8 „Ia toiagul şi convoacă adunarea, tu şi fratele tău Aaron. Vorbiţi stâncii dinaintea ochilor lor iar aceasta le va da apă din ea. Aşa să scoţi apă din stâncă pentru ei şi să dai adunării şi vitelor lor să bea.“
9 Moise a luat toiagul dinaintea Domnului aşa cum El îi poruncise. 10 Moise şi Aaron au convocat adunarea înaintea stâncii şi Moise le-a zis:
– Ascultaţi, răzvrătiţilor! Să scoatem apă din stânca aceasta pentru voi?
11 Atunci Moise şi-a ridicat mâna şi a lovit stânca de două ori cu toiagul; a ieşit apă din belşug, astfel că au băut atât adunarea, cât şi vitele lor.
12 Dar Domnul le-a spus lui Moise şi Aaron: „Pentru că nu v-aţi încrezut în Mine ca să arătaţi sfinţenia Mea înaintea ochilor israeliţilor, nu voi veţi duce această adunare în ţara pe care i-o dau.“
13 Acestea sunt apele de la Meriba[a] unde israeliţii s-au certat cu Domnul şi prin care El Şi-a arătat sfinţenia.
Edom refuză tranzitarea teritoriului său de către israeliţi
14 După aceea, Moise a trimis nişte soli din Kadeş la regele Edomului:
– Aşa vorbeşte fratele tău Israel: Tu cunoşti toate greutăţile prin care am trecut, 15 cum părinţii noştri s-au dus în Egipt şi au locuit acolo multă vreme; egiptenii ne-au asuprit pe noi şi pe părinţii noştri. 16 Când am strigat către Domnul, El a auzit glasul nostru şi a trimis Îngerul[b] care ne-a scos din Egipt; suntem la Kadeş, o cetate aflată la marginea ţinutului tău. 17 Lasă-ne să trecem prin ţara ta. Nu vom trece nici prin ogoare, nici prin vii, nu vom bea apă din nici o fântână. Vom merge pe Drumul Regelui, fără să ne abatem nici la stânga nici la dreapta, până trecem prin ţinutul tău.
18 Dar Edom i-a răspuns:
– Să nu treci pe la mine căci te voi întâmpina cu sabia.
19 Israeliţii i-au zis:
– Vom merge pe Drumul cel Mare, iar dacă vom bea apa ta, noi şi vitele noastre, îţi vom plăti. Lasă-ne doar să trecem mergând pe jos[c], nimic mai mult.
20 Dar el le-a zis:
– Să nu treceţi!
Şi Edom a ieşit înaintea lor cu mulţi oameni şi cu mână puternică. 21 Astfel Edom nu l-a lăsat pe Israel să treacă prin ţinutul lui; şi Israel s-a întors de la el.
Moartea lui Aaron şi învestirea în slujire a lui Elazar
22 Toată adunarea israeliţilor a pornit din Kadeş şi au ajuns la muntele Hor.
23 Domnul le-a zis lui Moise şi lui Aaron la muntele Hor, la marginea ţării Edom: 24 „Aaron va fi adăugat la poporul său; el nu va intra în ţara pe care o dau israeliţilor, pentru că v-aţi răzvrătit împotriva Cuvântului Meu la apele de la Meriba. 25 Ia-l pe Aaron şi pe fiul său Elazar, şi du-i pe muntele Hor. 26 Dezbracă-l pe Aaron de veşmintele lui şi pune-le pe fiul său Elazar, iar Aaron va muri acolo.“
27 Moise a făcut aşa cum i-a poruncit Domnul. Au urcat pe muntele Hor în prezenţa întregii adunări. 28 Moise l-a dezbrăcat pe Aaron de veşmintele lui şi le-a pus pe fiul său Elazar; Aaron a murit acolo, pe vârful muntelui. 29 Când adunarea a văzut că Aaron a murit, toată casa lui Israel l-a jelit pe Aaron treizeci de zile.

Nombres 20
Louis Segond
20 Toute l'assemblée des enfants d'Israël arriva dans le désert de Tsin le premier mois, et le peuple s'arrêta à Kadès. C'est là que mourut Marie, et qu'elle fut enterrée.
2 Il n'y avait point d'eau pour l'assemblée; et l'on se souleva contre Moïse et Aaron.
3 Le peuple chercha querelle à Moïse. Ils dirent: Que n'avons-nous expiré, quand nos frères expirèrent devant l'Éternel?
4 Pourquoi avez-vous fait venir l'assemblée de l'Éternel dans ce désert, pour que nous y mourions, nous et notre bétail?
5 Pourquoi nous avez-vous fait monter hors d'Égypte, pour nous amener dans ce méchant lieu? Ce n'est pas un lieu où l'on puisse semer, et il n'y a ni figuier, ni vigne, ni grenadier, ni d'eau à boire.
6 Moïse et Aaron s'éloignèrent de l'assemblée pour aller à l'entrée de la tente d'assignation. Ils tombèrent sur leur visage; et la gloire de l'Éternel leur apparut.
7 L'Éternel parla à Moïse, et dit:
8 Prends la verge, et convoque l'assemblée, toi et ton frère Aaron. Vous parlerez en leur présence au rocher, et il donnera ses eaux; tu feras sortir pour eux de l'eau du rocher, et tu abreuveras l'assemblée et leur bétail.
9 Moïse prit la verge qui était devant l'Éternel, comme l'Éternel le lui avait ordonné.
10 Moïse et Aaron convoquèrent l'assemblée en face du rocher. Et Moïse leur dit: Écoutez donc, rebelles! Est-ce de ce rocher que nous vous ferons sortir de l'eau?
11 Puis Moïse leva la main et frappa deux fois le rocher avec sa verge. Il sortit de l'eau en abondance. L'assemblée but, et le bétail aussi.
12 Alors l'Éternel dit à Moïse et à Aaron: Parce que vous n'avez pas cru en moi, pour me sanctifier aux yeux des enfants d'Israël, vous ne ferez point entrer cette assemblée dans le pays que je lui donne.
13 Ce sont les eaux de Meriba, où les enfants d'Israël contestèrent avec l'Éternel, qui fut sanctifié en eux.
14 De Kadès, Moïse envoya des messagers au roi d'Édom, pour lui dire: Ainsi parle ton frère Israël: Tu sais toutes les souffrances que nous avons éprouvées.
15 Nos pères descendirent en Égypte, et nous y demeurâmes longtemps. Mais les Égyptiens nous ont maltraités, nous et nos pères.
16 Nous avons crié à l'Éternel, et il a entendu notre voix. Il a envoyé un ange, et nous a fait sortir de l'Égypte. Et voici, nous sommes à Kadès, ville à l'extrémité de ton territoire.
17 Laisse-nous passer par ton pays; nous ne traverserons ni les champs, ni les vignes, et nous ne boirons pas l'eau des puits; nous suivrons la route royale, sans nous détourner à droite ou à gauche, jusqu'à ce que nous ayons franchi ton territoire.
18 Édom lui dit: Tu ne passeras point chez moi, sinon je sortirai à ta rencontre avec l'épée.
19 Les enfants d'Israël lui dirent: Nous monterons par la grande route; et, si nous buvons de ton eau, moi et mes troupeaux, j'en paierai le prix; je ne ferai que passer avec mes pieds, pas autre chose.
20 Il répondit: Tu ne passeras pas! Et Édom sortit à sa rencontre avec un peuple nombreux et à main forte.
21 Ainsi Édom refusa de donner passage à Israël par son territoire. Et Israël se détourna de lui.
22 Toute l'assemblée des enfants d'Israël partit de Kadès, et arriva à la montagne de Hor.
23 L'Éternel dit à Moïse et à Aaron, vers la montagne de Hor, sur la frontière du pays d'Édom:
24 Aaron va être recueilli auprès de son peuple; car il n'entrera point dans le pays que je donne aux enfants d'Israël, parce que vous avez été rebelles à mon ordre, aux eaux de Meriba.
25 Prends Aaron et son fils Éléazar, et fais-les monter sur la montagne de Hor.
26 Dépouille Aaron de ses vêtements, et fais-les revêtir à Éléazar, son fils. C'est là qu'Aaron sera recueilli et qu'il mourra.
27 Moïse fit ce que l'Éternel avait ordonné. Ils montèrent sur la montagne de Hor, aux yeux de toute l'assemblée.
28 Moïse dépouilla Aaron de ses vêtements, et les fit revêtir à Éléazar, son fils. Aaron mourut là, au sommet de la montagne. Moïse et Éléazar descendirent de la montagne.
29 Toute l'assemblée vit qu'Aaron avait expiré, et toute la maison d'Israël pleura Aaron pendant trente jours.
Numbers 20
King James Version
20 Then came the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, into the desert 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 gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.
3 And the people chode with Moses, and spake, saying, Would God that we had died when our brethren died before the Lord!
4 And why have ye brought up the congregation of the Lord into this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there?
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 tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon their faces: and the glory of the Lord appeared unto them.
7 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
8 Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink.
9 And Moses took the rod from before the Lord, as he commanded him.
10 And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?
11 And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also.
12 And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.
13 This is the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the Lord, and he 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 have dwelt in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians vexed us, and our fathers:
16 And when we cried unto the Lord, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and hath 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 country: we will not pass through the fields, or through the vineyards, neither will we drink of the water of the wells: we will go by the king's high way, we will not turn to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy borders.
18 And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword.
19 And the children of Israel said unto him, We will go by the high way: and if I and my cattle drink of thy water, then I will pay for it: I will only, without doing anything else, go through on my feet.
20 And he said, Thou shalt not go 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 the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, journeyed from Kadesh, and came unto mount Hor.
23 And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the coast 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 water 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 the Lord 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 in 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 mourned for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.
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.

New King James Version
Moses’ Error at Kadesh(A)
20 Then(B) the children of Israel, the whole congregation, came into the Wilderness of Zin in the first month, and the people stayed in (C)Kadesh; and (D)Miriam died there and was buried there.
2 (E)Now there was no water for the congregation; (F)so they gathered together against Moses and Aaron. 3 And the people (G)contended with Moses and spoke, saying: “If only we had died (H)when our brethren died before the Lord! 4 (I)Why have you brought up the assembly of the Lord into this wilderness, that we and our animals should die here? 5 And why have you made us come up out of Egypt, to bring us to this evil place? It is not a place of grain or figs or vines or pomegranates; nor is there any water to drink.” 6 So Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the door of the tabernacle of meeting, and (J)they [a]fell on their faces. And (K)the glory of the Lord appeared to them.
7 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 8 (L)“Take the rod; you and your brother Aaron gather the congregation together. Speak to the rock before their eyes, and it will yield its water; thus (M)you shall bring water for them out of the rock, and give drink to the congregation and their animals.” 9 So Moses took the rod (N)from before the Lord as He commanded him.
10 And Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock; and he said to them, (O)“Hear now, you rebels! Must we bring water for you out of this rock?” 11 Then Moses lifted his hand and struck the rock twice with his rod; (P)and water came out abundantly, and the congregation and their animals drank.
12 Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, “Because (Q)you did not believe Me, to (R)hallow Me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.”
13 (S)This was the water of [b]Meribah, because the children of Israel contended with the Lord, and He was hallowed among them.
Passage Through Edom Refused
14 (T)Now Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of (U)Edom. (V)“Thus says your brother Israel: ‘You know all the hardship that has befallen us, 15 (W)how our fathers went down to Egypt, (X)and we dwelt in Egypt a long time, (Y)and the Egyptians [c]afflicted us and our fathers. 16 (Z)When we cried out to the Lord, He heard our voice and (AA)sent the Angel and brought us up out of Egypt; now here we are in Kadesh, a city on the edge of your border. 17 Please (AB)let us pass through your country. We will not pass through fields or vineyards, nor will we drink water from 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 through your territory.’ ”
18 Then (AC)Edom said to him, “You shall not pass through my land, lest I come out against you with the sword.”
19 So the children of Israel said to him, “We will go by the Highway, and if I or my livestock drink any of your water, (AD)then I will pay for it; let me only pass through on foot, nothing more.”
20 Then he said, (AE)“You shall not pass through.” So Edom came out against them with many men and with a strong hand. 21 Thus Edom (AF)refused to give Israel passage through his territory; so Israel (AG)turned away from him.
Death of Aaron
22 Now the children of Israel, the whole congregation, journeyed from (AH)Kadesh (AI)and came to Mount Hor. 23 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron in Mount Hor by the border of the land of Edom, saying: 24 “Aaron shall [d]be (AJ)gathered to his people, for he shall not enter the land which I have given to the children of Israel, because you rebelled against My word at the water of Meribah. 25 (AK)Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up to Mount Hor; 26 and strip Aaron of his garments and put them on Eleazar his son; for Aaron shall be gathered to his people and die there.” 27 So Moses did just as the Lord commanded, and they went up to Mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation. 28 (AL)Moses stripped Aaron of his garments and put them on Eleazar his son; and (AM)Aaron died there on the top of the mountain. Then Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain. 29 Now when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, all the house of Israel mourned for Aaron (AN)thirty days.
