ΑΡΙΘΜΟΙ - Numeri - Numbers 20

LXX	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 και ηλθον οι υιοι ισραηλ πασα η συναγωγη εις την ερημον σιν εν τω μηνι τω πρωτω και κατεμεινεν ο λαος εν καδης και ετελευτησεν εκει μαριαμ και εταφη εκει	1 The whole Israelite community arrived in the desert of Zin in the first month, and the people settled at Kadesh. It was here that Miriam died, and here that she was buried.
2 και ουκ ην υδωρ τη συναγωγη και ηθροισθησαν επι μωυσην και ααρων	2 As the community had no water, they held a council against Moses and Aaron.
3 και ελοιδορειτο ο λαος προς μωυσην λεγοντες οφελον απεθανομεν εν τη απωλεια των αδελφων ημων εναντι κυριου	3 The people contended with Moses, exclaiming, "Would that we too had perished with our kinsmen in the LORD'S presence!
4 και ινα τι ανηγαγετε την συναγωγην κυριου εις την ερημον ταυτην αποκτειναι ημας και τα κτηνη ημων	4 Why have you brought the LORD'S community into this desert where we and our livestock are dying?
5 και ινα τι τουτο ανηγαγετε ημας εξ αιγυπτου παραγενεσθαι εις τον τοπον τον πονηρον τουτον τοπος ου ου σπειρεται ουδε συκαι ουδε αμπελοι ουδε ροαι ουδε υδωρ εστιν πιειν	5 Why did you lead us out of Egypt, only to bring us to this wretched place which has neither grain nor figs nor vines nor pomegranates? Here there is not even water to drink!"
6 και ηλθεν μωυσης και ααρων απο προσωπου της συναγωγης επι την θυραν της σκηνης του μαρτυριου και επεσαν επι προσωπον και ωφθη η δοξα κυριου προς αυτους	6 But Moses and Aaron went away from the assembly to the entrance of the meeting tent, where they fell prostrate. Then the glory of the LORD appeared to them,
7 και ελαλησεν κυριος προς μωυσην λεγων	7 and the LORD said to Moses,
8 λαβε την ραβδον και εκκλησιασον την συναγωγην συ και ααρων ο αδελφος σου και λαλησατε προς την πετραν εναντι αυτων και δωσει τα υδατα αυτης και εξοισετε αυτοις υδωρ εκ της πετρας και ποτιειτε την συναγωγην και τα κτηνη αυτων	8 "Take the staff and assemble the community, you and your brother Aaron, and in their presence order the rock to yield its waters. From the rock you shall bring forth water for the community and their livestock to drink."
9 και ελαβεν μωυσης την ραβδον την απεναντι κυριου καθα συνεταξεν κυριος	9 So Moses took the staff from its place before the LORD, as he was ordered.
10 και εξεκκλησιασεν μωυσης και ααρων την συναγωγην απεναντι της πετρας και ειπεν προς αυτους ακουσατε μου οι απειθεις μη εκ της πετρας ταυτης εξαξομεν υμιν υδωρ	10 He and Aaron assembled the community in front of the rock, where he said to them, "Listen to me, you rebels! Are we to bring water for you out of this rock?"
11 και επαρας μωυσης την χειρα αυτου επαταξεν την πετραν τη ραβδω δις και εξηλθεν υδωρ πολυ και επιεν η συναγωγη και τα κτηνη αυτων	11 Then, raising his hand, Moses struck the rock twice with his staff, and water gushed out in abundance for the community and their livestock to drink.
12 και ειπεν κυριος προς μωυσην και ααρων οτι ουκ επιστευσατε αγιασαι με εναντιον υιων ισραηλ δια τουτο ουκ εισαξετε υμεις την συναγωγην ταυτην εις την γην ην δεδωκα αυτοις	12 But the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, "Because you were not faithful to me in showing forth my sanctity before the Israelites, you shall not lead this community into the land I will give them."
13 τουτο υδωρ αντιλογιας οτι ελοιδορηθησαν οι υιοι ισραηλ εναντι κυριου και ηγιασθη εν αυτοις	13 These are the waters of Meribah, where the Israelites contended against the LORD, and where he revealed his sanctity among them.
14 και απεστειλεν μωυσης αγγελους εκ καδης προς βασιλεα εδωμ λεγων ταδε λεγει ο αδελφος σου ισραηλ συ επιστη παντα τον μοχθον τον ευροντα ημας	14 From Kadesh Moses sent men to the king of Edom with the message: "Your brother Israel has this to say: You know of all the hardships that have befallen us,
15 και κατεβησαν οι πατερες ημων εις αιγυπτον και παρωκησαμεν εν αιγυπτω ημερας πλειους και εκακωσαν ημας οι αιγυπτιοι και τους πατερας ημων	15 how our fathers went down to Egypt, where we stayed a long time, how the Egyptians maltreated us and our fathers,
16 και ανεβοησαμεν προς κυριον και εισηκουσεν κυριος της φωνης ημων και αποστειλας αγγελον εξηγαγεν ημας εξ αιγυπτου και νυν εσμεν εν καδης πολει εκ μερους των οριων σου	16 and how, when we cried to the LORD, he heard our cry and sent an angel who led us out of Egypt. Now here we are at the town of Kadesh at the edge of your territory.
17 παρελευσομεθα δια της γης σου ου διελευσομεθα δι' αγρων ουδε δι' αμπελωνων ουδε πιομεθα υδωρ εκ λακκου σου οδω βασιλικη πορευσομεθα ουκ εκκλινουμεν δεξια ουδε ευωνυμα εως αν παρελθωμεν τα ορια σου	17 Kindly let us pass through your country. We will not cross any fields or vineyards, nor drink any well water, but we will go straight along the royal road without turning to the right or to the left, until we have passed through your territory."
18 και ειπεν προς αυτον εδωμ ου διελευση δι' εμου ει δε μη εν πολεμω εξελευσομαι εις συναντησιν σοι	18 But Edom answered him, "You shall not pass through here; if you do, I will advance against you with the sword."
19 και λεγουσιν αυτω οι υιοι ισραηλ παρα το ορος παρελευσομεθα εαν δε του υδατος σου πιωμεν εγω τε και τα κτηνη δωσω τιμην σοι αλλα το πραγμα ουδεν εστιν παρα το ορος παρελευσομεθα	19 The Israelites insisted, "We want only to go up along the highway. If we or our livestock drink any of your water, we will pay for it. Surely there is no harm in merely letting us march through."
20 ο δε ειπεν ου διελευση δι' εμου και εξηλθεν εδωμ εις συναντησιν αυτω εν οχλω βαρει και εν χειρι ισχυρα	20 But Edom still said, "No, you shall not pass through," and advanced against them with a large and heavily armed force.
21 και ουκ ηθελησεν εδωμ δουναι τω ισραηλ παρελθειν δια των οριων αυτου και εξεκλινεν ισραηλ απ' αυτου	21 Therefore, since Edom refused to let them pass through their territory, Israel detoured around them.
22 και απηραν εκ καδης και παρεγενοντο οι υιοι ισραηλ πασα η συναγωγη εις ωρ το ορος	22 Setting out from Kadesh, the whole Israelite community came to Mount Hor.
23 και ειπεν κυριος προς μωυσην και ααρων εν ωρ τω ορει επι των οριων γης εδωμ λεγων	23 There at Mount Hor, on the border of the land of Edom, the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
24 προστεθητω ααρων προς τον λαον αυτου οτι ου μη εισελθητε εις την γην ην δεδωκα τοις υιοις ισραηλ διοτι παρωξυνατε με επι του υδατος της λοιδοριας	24 "Aaron is about to be taken to his people; he shall not enter the land I am giving to the Israelites, because you both rebelled against my commandment at the waters of Meribah.
25 λαβε τον ααρων και ελεαζαρ τον υιον αυτου και αναβιβασον αυτους εις ωρ το ορος εναντι πασης της συναγωγης	25 Take Aaron and his son Eleazar and bring them up on Mount Hor.
26 και εκδυσον ααρων την στολην αυτου και ενδυσον ελεαζαρ τον υιον αυτου και ααρων προστεθεις αποθανετω εκει	26 Then strip Aaron of his garments and put them on his son Eleazar; for there Aaron shall be taken in death."
27 και εποιησεν μωυσης καθα συνεταξεν κυριος και ανεβιβασεν αυτον εις ωρ το ορος εναντιον πασης της συναγωγης	27 Moses did as the LORD commanded. When they had climbed Mount Hor in view of the whole community,
28 και εξεδυσεν ααρων τα ιματια αυτου και ενεδυσεν αυτα ελεαζαρ τον υιον αυτου και απεθανεν ααρων επι της κορυφης του ορους και κατεβη μωυσης και ελεαζαρ εκ του ορους	28 Moses stripped Aaron of his garments and put them on his son Eleazar. Then Aaron died there on top of the mountain. When Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain,
29 και ειδεν πασα η συναγωγη οτι απελυθη ααρων και εκλαυσαν τον ααρων τριακοντα ημερας πας οικος ισραηλ	29 all the community understood that Aaron had passed away; and for thirty days the whole house of Israel mourned him.
