Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1In the first month, the whole congregation of Israel entered the Wilderness of Zin and stayed in Kadesh. There Miriam died and was buried.
1Veneruntque filii Israël et omnis multitudo in desertum Sin, mense primo, et mansit populus in Cades. Mortuaque est ibi Maria, et sepulta in eodem loco.
2Now there was no water for the congregation, so they gathered against Moses and Aaron.
2Cumque indigeret aqua populus, convenerunt adversum Moysen et Aaron:
3The people quarreled with Moses and said, “If only we had perished with our brothers before the LORD!
3et versi in seditionem, dixerunt: Utinam periissemus inter fratres nostros coram Domino.
4Why have you brought the LORD’s assembly into this wilderness for us and our livestock to die here?
4Cur eduxistis ecclesiam Domini in solitudinem, ut et nos et nostra jumenta moriamur?
5Why have you led us up out of Egypt to bring us to this wretched place? It is not a place of grain, figs, vines, or pomegranates—and there is no water to drink!”
5quare 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?
6Then Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. They fell facedown, and the glory of the LORD appeared to them.
6Ingressusque 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.
7And the LORD said to Moses,
7Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
8“Take the staff and assemble the congregation. You and your brother Aaron are to speak to the rock while they watch, and it will pour out its water. You will bring out water from the rock and provide drink for the congregation and their livestock.”
8Tolle 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.
9So Moses took the staff from the LORD’s presence, just as he had been commanded.
9Tulit igitur Moyses virgam, quæ erat in conspectu Domini, sicut præceperat ei,
10Then Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly in front of the rock, and Moses said to them, “Listen now, you rebels, must we bring you water out of this rock?”
10congregata multitudine ante petram: dixitque eis: Audite, rebelles et increduli: num de petra hac vobis aquam poterimus ejicere?
11Then Moses raised his hand and struck the rock twice with his staff, so that a great amount of water gushed out, and the congregation and their livestock were able to drink.
11Cumque elevasset Moyses manum, percutiens virga bis silicem, egressæ sunt aquæ largissimæ, ita ut populus biberet et jumenta.
12But the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not trust Me to show My holiness in the sight of the Israelites, you will not bring this assembly into the land that I have given them.”
12Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen et Aaron: Quia non credidistis mihi, ut sanctificaretis me coram filiis Israël, non introducetis hos populos in terram, quam dabo eis.
13These were the waters of Meribah, where the Israelites quarreled with the LORD, and He showed His holiness among them.
13Hæc est aqua contradictionis, ubi jurgati sunt filii Israël contra Dominum, et sanctificatus est in eis.
14From Kadesh, Moses sent messengers to tell the king of Edom, “This is what your brother Israel says: You know all the hardship that has befallen us,
14Misit interea nuntios Moyses de Cades ad regem Edom, qui dicerent: Hæc mandat frater tuus Israël: Nosti omnem laborem qui apprehendit nos,
15how our fathers went down to Egypt, where we lived many years. The Egyptians mistreated us and our fathers,
15quomodo descenderint patres nostri in Ægyptum, et habitaverimus ibi multo tempore, afflixerintque nos Ægyptii, et patres nostros:
16and when we cried out to the LORD, He heard our voice, sent an angel, and brought us out of Egypt. Now look, we are in Kadesh, a city on the edge of your territory.
16et 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,
17Please let us pass through your land. We will not cut through any field or vineyard, or drink water from any well. We will stay on the King’s Highway; we will not turn to the right or to the left until we have passed through your territory.”
17obsecramus 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.
18But Edom answered, “You may not travel through our land, or we will come out and confront you with the sword.”
18Cui respondit Edom: Non transibis per me, alioquin armatus occurram tibi.
19“We will stay on the main road,” the Israelites replied, “and if we or our herds drink your water, we will pay for it. There will be no problem; only let us pass through on foot.”
19Dixeruntque 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.
20But Edom insisted, “You may not pass through.” And they came out to confront the Israelites with a large army and a strong hand.
20At ille respondit: Non transibis. Statimque egressus est obvius, cum infinita multitudo, et manu forti,
21So Edom refused to allow Israel to pass through their territory, and Israel turned away from them.
21nec voluit acquiescere deprecanti, ut concederet transitum per fines suos. Quam ob rem divertit ab eo Israël.
22After they had set out from Kadesh, the whole congregation of Israel came to Mount Hor.
22Cumque castra movissent de Cades, venerunt in montem Hor, qui est in finibus terræ Edom:
23And at Mount Hor, near the border of the land of Edom, the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
23ubi locutus est Dominus ad Moysen:
24“Aaron will be gathered to his people; he will not enter the land that I have given the Israelites, because both of you rebelled against My command at the waters of Meribah.
24Pergat, inquit, Aaron ad populos suos: non enim intrabit terram, quam dedi filiis Israël, eo quod incredulus fuerit ori meo, ad aquas contradictionis.
25Take Aaron and his son Eleazar and bring them up Mount Hor.
25Tolle Aaron et filium ejus cum eo, et duces eos in montem Hor.
26Remove Aaron’s priestly garments and put them on his son Eleazar. Aaron will be gathered to his people and will die there.”
26Cumque nudaveris patrem veste sua, indues ea Eleazarum filium ejus: Aaron colligetur, et morietur ibi.
27So Moses did as the LORD had commanded, and they climbed Mount Hor in the sight of the whole congregation.
27Fecit Moyses ut præceperat Dominus: et ascenderunt in montem Hor coram omni multitudine.
28After Moses had removed Aaron’s garments and put them on his son Eleazar, Aaron died there on top of the mountain. Then Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.
28Cumque Aaron spoliasset vestibus suis, induit eis Eleazarum filium ejus.
29When the whole congregation saw that Aaron had died, the entire house of Israel mourned for him thirty days.
29Illo mortuo in montis supercilio, descendit cum Eleazaro.
