Numeri 20

VULGATA	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Veneruntque filii Israël et omnis multitudo in desertum Sin, mense primo, et mansit populus in Cades. Mortuaque est ibi Maria, et sepulta in eodem loco.	1 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 Cumque indigeret aqua populus, convenerunt adversum Moysen et Aaron :	2 And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.
3 et versi in seditionem, dixerunt : Utinam periissemus inter fratres nostros coram Domino.	3 And the people chode with Moses, and spake, saying, Would God that we had died when our brethren died before the LORD!
4 Cur eduxistis ecclesiam Domini in solitudinem, ut et nos et nostra jumenta moriamur ?	4 And why have ye brought up the congregation of the LORD into this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there?
5 quare nos fecistis ascendere de Ægypto, et adduxistis in locum istum pessimum, qui seri non potest, qui nec ficum gignit, nec vineas, nec malogranata, insuper et aquam non habet ad bibendum ?	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 Ingressusque Moyses et Aaron, dimissa multitudine, tabernaculum fœderis, corruerunt proni in terram, clamaveruntque ad Dominum, atque dixerunt : Domine Deus, audi clamorem hujus populi, et aperi eis thesaurum tuum fontem aquæ vivæ, ut satiati, cesset murmuratio eorum. Et apparuit gloria Domini super eos.	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 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens :	7 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
8 Tolle virgam, et congrega populum, tu et Aaron frater tuus, et loquimini ad petram coram eis, et illa dabit aquas. Cumque eduxeris aquam de petra, bibet omnis multitudo et jumenta ejus.	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 Tulit igitur Moyses virgam, quæ erat in conspectu Domini, sicut præceperat ei,	9 And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him.
10 congregata multitudine ante petram : dixitque eis : Audite, rebelles et increduli : num de petra hac vobis aquam poterimus ejicere ?	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 Cumque elevasset Moyses manum, percutiens virga bis silicem, egressæ sunt aquæ largissimæ, ita ut populus biberet et jumenta.	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 Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen et Aaron : Quia non credidistis mihi, ut sanctificaretis me coram filiis Israël, non introducetis hos populos in terram, quam dabo eis.	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 Hæc est aqua contradictionis, ubi jurgati sunt filii Israël contra Dominum, et sanctificatus est in eis.	13 This is the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them.
14 Misit interea nuntios Moyses de Cades ad regem Edom, qui dicerent : Hæc mandat frater tuus Israël : Nosti omnem laborem qui apprehendit nos,	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 quomodo descenderint patres nostri in Ægyptum, et habitaverimus ibi multo tempore, afflixerintque nos Ægyptii, et patres nostros :	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 et quomodo clamaverimus ad Dominum, et exaudierit nos, miseritque angelum, qui eduxerit nos de Ægypto. Ecce in urbe Cades, quæ est in extremis finibus tuis, positi,	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 obsecramus ut nobis transire liceat per terram tuam. Non ibimus per agros, nec per vineas ; non bibemus aquas de puteis tuis : sed gradiemur via publica, nec ad dexteram nec ad sinistram declinantes, donec transeamus terminos tuos.	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 highway, we will not turn to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy borders.
18 Cui respondit Edom : Non transibis per me, alioquin armatus occurram tibi.	18 And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword.
19 Dixeruntque filii Israël : Per tritam gradiemur viam : et si biberimus aquas tuas, nos et pecora nostra, dabimus quod justum est : nulla erit in pretio difficultas, tantum velociter transeamus.	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 any thing else, go through on my feet.
20 At ille respondit : Non transibis. Statimque egressus est obvius, cum infinita multitudo, et manu forti,	20 And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand.
21 nec voluit acquiescere deprecanti, ut concederet transitum per fines suos. Quam ob rem divertit ab eo Israël.	21 Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border: wherefore Israel turned away from him.
22 Cumque castra movissent de Cades, venerunt in montem Hor, qui est in finibus terræ Edom :	22 And the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, journeyed from Kadesh, and came unto mount Hor.
23 ubi locutus est Dominus ad Moysen :	23 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the coast of the land of Edom, saying,
24 Pergat, inquit, Aaron ad populos suos : non enim intrabit terram, quam dedi filiis Israël, eo quod incredulus fuerit ori meo, ad aquas contradictionis.	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 Tolle Aaron et filium ejus cum eo, et duces eos in montem Hor.	25 Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto mount Hor:
26 Cumque nudaveris patrem veste sua, indues ea Eleazarum filium ejus : Aaron colligetur, et morietur ibi.	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 Fecit Moyses ut præceperat Dominus : et ascenderunt in montem Hor coram omni multitudine.	27 And Moses did as the LORD commanded: and they went up into mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.
28 Cumque Aaron spoliasset vestibus suis, induit eis Eleazarum filium ejus.	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 Illo mortuo in montis supercilio, descendit cum Eleazaro.	29 And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they mourned for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.
30 Omnis autem multitudo videns occubuisse Aaron, flevit super eo triginta diebus per cunctas familias suas.
