民数記 20

1 斯てイスラエルの子孫の全會衆正月におよびてチンの曠野にいたれり而して民みなカデシに止りけるがミリアム其處にて死たれば之を其處に葬りぬ

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 當時會衆水を得ざるによりて相集りてモーセとアロンに迫れり

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

3 すなはち民モーセと爭ひ言けるは嚮に我らの兄弟等がヱホバの前に死たる時に我等も死たらば善りしものを

And the people find fault with Moses, and spoke, saying, Would God that we had died when our brethren died before the LORD!

4 汝等何とてヱホバの會衆をこの曠野に導き上りて我等とわれらの家畜を此に死しめんとするや

And why have all of you brought up the congregation of the LORD into this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there?

5 汝らなんぞ我らをエジプトより上らしめてこの惡き處に導きいりしや此には種を播べき處なく無花果もなく葡萄もなく石榴も無くまた飮べき水も無し

And wherefore have all of you 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 是においてモーセとアロンは會衆の前を去り集會の幕屋の門にいたりて俯伏けるにヱホバの榮光かれらに顯れ

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 ヱホバ、モーセに告て言たまはく

And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

8 汝杖を執り汝の兄弟アロンとともに會衆を集めその眼の前にて汝ら磐に命ぜよ磐その中より水を出さん汝かく磐より水を出して會衆とその獣畜に飮しむべしと

Take the rod, and gather you the assembly together, you, and Aaron your brother, and speak all of you unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and you shall bring forth to them water out of the rock: so you shall give the congregation and their beasts drink.

9 モーセすなはちその命ぜられしごとくヱホバの前より杖を取り

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

10 アロンとともに會衆を磐の前に集めて之に言けるは汝ら背反者等よ聽け我等水をしてこの磐より汝らのために出しめん歟と

And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, all of you rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?

11 モーセその手を擧げ杖をもて磐を二度撃けるに水多く湧出たれば會衆とその獣畜ともに飮り

And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he stroke the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also.

12 時にヱホバ、モーセとアロンに言たまひけるは汝等は我を信ぜずしてイスラエルの子孫の目の前に我の聖を顯さざりしによりてこの會衆をわが之に與へし地に導きいることを得じと

And the LORD spoke unto Moses and Aaron, Because all of you believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore all of you shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.

13 是をメリバ(爭論)の水とよべりイスラエルの子孫是がためにヱホバにむかひて爭ひたりしかばヱホバつひにその聖ことを顯したまへり

This is the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them.

14 茲にモーセ、カデシより使者をエドムの王に遣して言けるは汝の兄弟イスラエルかく言ふ汝はわれらが遭し諸の艱難を知る

And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom, Thus says your brother Israel, You know all the travail that has befallen us:

15 そもそも我らの先祖等エジプトに下りゆきて我ら年ひさしくエジプトに住をりしがエジプト人われらと我らの先祖等をなやましたれば

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 我らヱホバに龥はりけるにヱホバわれらの聲を聽たまひ一箇の天の使を遣して我らをエジプトより導きいだしたまへり視よ我ら今は汝の邊境の邊端にあるカデシの邑に居るなり

And when we cried unto the LORD, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and has brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of your border:

17 願くは我らをして汝の國を通過しめよ我等は田畝をも葡萄園をも通過じまた井の水をも飮じ我らは第王の路を通過り汝の境をいづるまでは右にも左にもまがらじ

Let us pass, I pray you, through your 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 your borders.

18 エドム、モーセに言けるは汝我の中を通過べからず恐くは我いでて劍をもて汝にむかはん

And Edom said unto him, You shall not pass by me, lest I come out against you with the sword.

19 イスラエルの子孫エドムに言ふ我らは大道を通過ん若われらと我らの獣畜なんぢの水を飮ことあらばその値を償ふべし我は徒行にて通過のみなれば何事にもあらざるなりと

And the children of Israel said unto him, We will go by the high way: and if I and my cattle drink of your water, then I will pay for it: I will only, without doing anything else, go through on my feet.

20 然るにエドムは汝通過べからずといひて許多の群衆を率ゐて出で大なる力をもて之にむかへり

And he said, You shall not go through. And Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand.

21 エドムかくイスラエルにその境の中を通過ことを容さざりければイスラエルは他にむかひて去り

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

22 かくてイスラエルの子孫の會衆みなカデシより進みてホル山にいたれり

And the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, journeyed from Kadesh, and came unto mount Hor.

23 ヱホバ、エドムの國の境なるホル山にてモーセとアロンに告て言たまはく

And the LORD spoke unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the coast of the land of Edom, saying,

24 アロンはその死たる民に列らんイスラエルの子孫に我が與へし地に彼は入ことを得ざるべし是メリバの水のある處にて汝等わが言に背きたればなり

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 all of you rebelled against my word at the water of Meribah.

25 汝アロンとその子エレアザルをひきつれてホル山に登り

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

26 アロンにその衣服を脱せてこれをその子エレアザルに衣せよアロンは其處に死てその民に列るべしと

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 モーセすなはちヱホバの命じたまへるごとく爲し相つれだちて全會衆の目の前にてホル山に登り

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

28 而してモーセはアロンにその衣服をぬがせて之をその子エレアデルに衣せたりアロンは其處にて山の嶺に死り斯てモーセとエレアザル山よりくだりけるが

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 會衆みなアロンの死たるを見て三十日のあひだ哀哭をなせりイスラエルの家みな然せり

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