Numbers, 20

1. And the sons of Israel, and the entire multitude, went into the desert of Sin, in the first month. And the people stayed at Kadesh. And Miriam died there, and she was buried in the same place.

1. Potom stigoše Izraelci, sva zajednica, u pustinju Sin u prvome mjesecu. Narod se nastani u Kadešu. Ondje umrije Mirjam i ondje je sahraniše.

2. And when the people were in need of water, they came together against Moses and Aaron.

2. Nije bilo vode za zajednicu. Stoga se udruže protiv Mojsija i protiv Arona.

3. And as it turned into sedition, they said: “If only we had perished among our brothers in the sight of the Lord.

3. Narod se poèe svaðati s Mojsijem i govoriti: "Da smo bar izginuli kad su nam i braæa poginula pred Jahvom!

4. Why have you led away the Church of the Lord, into the wilderness, so that both we and our cattle would die?

4. Zašto ste doveli Jahvinu zajednicu u ovu pustinju da ovdje pomremo i mi i naša stoka?

5. Why did you cause us to ascend from Egypt, and why have you led us into this most wretched place, which is not able to be sown, which does not produce figs, or vines, or pomegranates, and which, moreover, does not even have water to drink?”

5. Zašto ste nas izveli iz Egipta da nas dovedete u ovo nesretno mjesto; mjesto u kojem nema ni žita, ni smokava, ni loze, ni mogranja? Nema ni vode da pijemo."

6. And Moses and Aaron, dismissing the multitude, entered the tabernacle of the covenant, and they fell prone on the ground, and they cried out to the Lord, and they said: “O Lord God, listen to the outcry of this people, and open for them, from your storehouse, a fountain of living water, so that, being satisfied, their murmuring may cease.” And the glory of the Lord appeared over them.

6. Mojsije i Aron odu ispred zajednice do ulaza u Šator sastanka i padnu nièice. Tada im se pokaza slava Jahvina.

7. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

7. I Jahve reèe Mojsiju:

8. “Take the rod, and gather the people, you and your brother Aaron, and speak to the rock before them, and it shall bestow waters. And when you have brought forth water from the rock, the entire multitude and their cattle shall drink.”

8. "Uzmi štap pa ti i tvoj brat Aron skupite zajednicu. Onda, na njihove oèi, progovorite peæini da ustupi svoje vode. Iz peæine im izvedi vodu te napoj zajednicu i njezino blago."

9. Therefore, Moses took the rod, which was in the sight of the Lord, just as he had instructed him.

9. Mojsije uzme štap ispred Jahve kako mu je naredio.

10. And having gathered the multitude before the rock, he said to them: “Listen, you who are rebellious and unbelieving. Would we be able to cast out water from this rock?”

10. Zatim Mojsije i Aron skupe zbor pred peæinu pa im Mojsije rekne: "Èujte, buntovnici! Hoæemo li vam iz ove peæine izvesti vodu?"

11. And when Moses had lifted up his hand, striking the stone twice with the rod, very great waters went forth, so much so that the people and their cattle were able to drink.

11. Zatim Mojsije podigne ruku i dvaput udari štapom o peæinu: voda provali u obilju, pa su mogli piti i zajednica i njezino blago.

12. And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not believe me, so as to sanctify me before the sons of Israel, you shall not lead this people into the land, which I will give to them.”

12. Potom æe Jahve Mojsiju i Aronu: "Buduæi da se niste pouzdavali u me i niste me svetim oèitovali u oèima sinova Izraelovih, neæete uvesti ovaj zbor u zemlju koju im dajem."

13. This is the Water of Contradiction, where the sons of Israel were quarreling against the Lord, and he was sanctified in them.

13. To su Meripske vode, kraj njih su se Izraelci prepirali s Jahvom, a on se pokazao svetim.

14. Meanwhile, Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom. They said: “Your brother Israel says this: You know of all the hardships which have overtaken us,

14. Iz Kadeša pošalje Mojsije glasnike: "Kralju Edoma. Ovako veli tvoj brat Izrael: 'Ti znaš sve jade koji su nas snašli.

15. how our fathers descended into Egypt, and we lived there for a long time, and the Egyptians afflicted both us and our fathers,

15. Naši se preci spustiše u Egipat. U Egiptu smo proboravili mnogo vremena. Egipæani su s nama i s našim precima loše postupali.

16. and how we cried out to the Lord, and he heeded us and sent an Angel, who led us away from Egypt. Behold, we are situated in the city of Kadesh, which is at the extremity of your borders.

16. Stoga smo vapili Jahvi, i on èu naš glas i posla anðela koji nas izbavi iz Egipta. Evo nas sad u Kadešu, gradu uz rub tvoga podruèja.

17. And we beg you to permit us to cross through your land. We will not go through the fields, nor through the vineyards; we will not drink the waters of your wells, but we will travel by the public ways, neither turning aside to the right, nor to the left, until we have passed your borders.”

17. Pusti nas da proðemo kroz tvoju zemlju. Neæemo iæi preko polja ni vinograda niti æemo piti vodu iz bunara; iæi æemo Kraljevskim putem, ne skreæuæi ni desno ni lijevo, dok ne proðemo tvoje podruèje."

18. Edom responded to them: “You shall not cross through me, otherwise, I will meet you armed.”

18. Edom mu odgovori: "Ne prolazi preko moje zemlje, jer eto me s maèem preda te!"

19. And the sons of Israel said: “We will travel by the well-trodden path. And if we or our cattle drink from your waters, we will give you what is just. There shall be no difficulty in the price, only let us cross through quickly.”

19. "Iæi æemo utrenikom", rekoše Izraelci, "a budemo li pili tvoje vode, mi i naša stada, za to æemo ti platiti. Ništa više, samo da proðemo pješice."

20. But he answered, “You shall not cross.” And immediately he went out to meet them with a countless multitude and a strong hand;

20. "Ne prolazi!" - odgovori. I Edom mu izaðe u susret s mnogo ljudi i s velikom silom.

21. neither was he willing to agree to their petition to concede passage through his borders. For this reason, Israel diverted away from him.

21. Tako Edom nije dopustio Izraelu da proðe kroz njegovo podruèje i Izrael se okrenu od njega.

22. And when they had moved the camp from Kadesh, they arrived at mount Hor, which is at the borders of the land of Edom,

22. Zaputivši se od Kadeša, stigoše Izraelci, sva zajednica, k brdu Horu.

23. where the Lord spoke to Moses:

23. Kod brda Hora, uz meðu edomsku, reèe Jahve Mojsiju i Aronu:

24. “Let Aaron,” he said, “go to his people. For he shall not enter into the land which I have given to the sons of Israel, because he did not believe my mouth at the Waters of Contradiction.

24. "Neka se Aron pridruži svojim precima! Neæe uæi u zemlju koju dajem Izraelcima, jer ste se oprli mojoj zapovijedi kod Meripskih voda.

25. Take Aaron, and his son with him, and lead them on to mount Hor.

25. Uzmi Arona i njegova sina Eleazara, pa ih izvedi na brdo Hor.

26. And when you have stripped the father of his vestments, you shall put them on Eleazar, his son. Aaron shall be gathered and shall die there.”

26. I svuci Aronu njegove haljine pa ih obuci njegovu sinu Eleazaru. Aron æe se pridružiti precima, umrijet æe ondje."

27. Moses did just as the Lord had instructed. And they ascended mount Hor, in the sight of the entire multitude.

27. Mojsije uèini kako naredi Jahve. Pred svom zajednicom popeše se na brdo Hor.

28. And when he had despoiled Aaron of his vestments, he clothed his son Eleazar with them.

28. Mojsije svuèe s Arona njegove haljine te ih obuèe njegovu sinu Eleazaru. Ondje navrh brda umrije Aron. Zatim se Mojsije i Eleazar spustiše s brda.

29. And when Aaron had died at the top of the mountain, Moses came down with Eleazar.

29. Sva zajednica vidje da je Aron preminuo i sav dom Izraelov oplakivaše Arona trideset dana.

30. And the entire multitude, seeing that Aaron lay dead, wept over him for thirty days, throughout all their families.

30.
