Numbers 20
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1And the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came into the wilderness of Zin in the first month; and the people abode in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there.
1ΚΑΙ ἦλθον οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ πᾶσα ἡ συναγωγὴ εἰς τὴν ἔρημον Σίν, ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ πρώτῳ, καὶ κατέμεινεν ὁ λαὸς ἐν Κάδης, καὶ ἐτελεύτησεν ἐκεῖ Μαριὰμ καὶ ἐτάφη ἐκεῖ.
2And there was no water for the congregation; and they assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.
2καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὕδωρ τῇ συναγωγῇ, καὶ ἠθροίσθησαν ἐπὶ Μωυσῆν καὶ Ἀαρών.
3And the people strove with Moses, and spoke, saying: 'Would that we had perished when our brethren perished before the LORD!
3καὶ ἐλοιδορεῖτο ὁ λαὸς πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγοντες· ὄφελον ἀπεθάνομεν ἐν τῇ ἀπωλείᾳ τῶν ἀδελφῶν ἡμῶν ἔναντι Κυρίου·
4And why have ye brought the assembly of the LORD into this wilderness, to die there, we and our cattle?
4καὶ ἱνατί ἀνηγάγετε τὴν συναγωγὴν Κυρίου εἰς τὴν ἔρημον ταύτην ἀποκτεῖναι ἡμᾶς καὶ τὰ κτήνη ἡμῶν;
5And 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.'
5καὶ ἱνατί τοῦτο; ἀνηγάγετε ἡμᾶς ἐξ Αἰγύπτου παραγενέσθαι εἰς τὸν τόπον τὸν πονηρὸν τοῦτον, τόπος οὗ οὐ σπείρεται, οὐδὲ συκαῖ, οὐδὲ ἄμπελοι, οὔτε ροαί, οὔτε ὕδωρ ἐστὶ πιεῖν.
6And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door of the tent of meeting, and fell upon their faces; and the glory of the LORD appeared unto them.
6καὶ ἦλθε Μωυσῆς καὶ Ἀαρὼν ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς συναγωγῆς ἐπὶ τὴν θύραν τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου καὶ ἔπεσον ἐπὶ πρόσωπον, καὶ ὤφθη ἡ δόξα Κυρίου πρὸς αὐτούς.
7And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
7καὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων·
8'Take the rod, and assemble the congregation, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes, that it give forth its water; and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock; so thou shalt give the congregation and their cattle drink.'
8λάβε τὴν ράβδον σου καὶ ἐκκλησίασον τὴν συναγωγὴν σὺ καὶ Ἀαρὼν ὁ ἀδελφός σου καὶ λαλήσατε πρὸς τὴν πέτραν ἐναντίον αὐτῶν, καὶ δώσει τὰ ὕδατα αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐξοίσετε αὐτοῖς ὕδωρ ἐκ τῆς πέτρας, καὶ ποτιεῖτε τὴν συναγωγὴν καὶ τὰ κτήνη αὐτῶν.
9And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as He commanded him.
9καὶ ἔλαβε Μωυσῆς τὴν ράβδον τὴν ἀπέναντι Κυρίου, καθὰ συνέταξε Κύριος,
10And Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock, and he said unto them: 'Hear now, ye rebels; are we to bring you forth water out of this rock?'
10καὶ ἐξεκλησίασε Μωυσῆς καὶ Ἀαρὼν τὴν συναγωγὴν ἀπέναντι τῆς πέτρας καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς· ἀκούσατέ μου, οἱ ἀπειθεῖς· μὴ ἐκ τῆς πέτρας ταύτης ἐξάξομεν ὑμῖν ὕδωρ;
11And Moses lifted up his hand, and smote the rock with his rod twice; and water came forth abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their cattle.
11καὶ ἐπάρας Μωυσῆς τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐπάταξε τὴν πέτραν τῇ ράβδῳ δίς, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὕδωρ πολύ, καὶ ἔπιεν ἡ συναγωγὴ καὶ τὰ κτήνη αὐτῶν.
12And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron: 'Because ye believed not in Me, to sanctify Me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.'
12καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν καὶ Ἀαρών· ὅτι οὐκ ἐπιστεύσατε ἁγιάσαι με ἐναντίον τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ, διὰ τοῦτο οὐκ εἰσάξετε ὑμεῖς τὴν συναγωγὴν ταύτην εἰς τὴν γῆν, ἣν δέδωκα αὐτοῖς.
13These are the waters of Meribah, where the children of Israel strove with the LORD, and He was sanctified in them.
13τοῦτο τὸ ὕδωρ ἀντιλογίας, ὅτι ἐλοιδορήθησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἔναντι Κυρίου καὶ ἡγιάσθη ἐν αὐτοῖς.
14And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom: 'Thus saith thy brother Israel: Thou knowest all the travail that hath befallen us;
14Καὶ ἀπέστειλε Μωυσῆς ἀγγέλους ἐκ Κάδης πρὸς βασιλέα Ἐδὼμ λέγων· τάδε λέγει ὁ ἀδελφός σου Ἰσραήλ· σὺ ἐπίστῃ πάντα τὸν μόχθον τὸν εὑρόντα ἡμᾶς,
15how our fathers went down into Egypt, and we dwelt in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians dealt ill with us, and our fathers;
15καὶ κατέβησαν οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν εἰς Αἴγυπτον, καὶ παρῳκήσαμεν ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ ἡμέρας πλείους, καὶ ἐκάκωσαν ἡμᾶς οἱ Αἰγύπτιοι καὶ τοὺς πατέρας ἡμῶν,
16and when we cried unto the LORD, He heard our voice, and sent an angel, and brought us forth out of Egypt; and, behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border.
16καὶ ἀνεβοήσαμεν πρὸς Κύριον, καὶ εἰσήκουσε Κύριος τῆς φωνῆς ἡμῶν καὶ ἀποστείλας ἄγγελον ἐξήγαγεν ἡμᾶς ἐξ Αἰγύπτου, καὶ νῦν ἐσμεν ἐν Κάδης πόλει, ἐκ μέρους τῶν ὁρίων σου·
17Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy land; we will not pass through field or through vineyard, neither will we drink of the water of the wells; we will go along the king's highway, we will not turn aside to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy border.'
17παρελευσόμεθα διὰ τῆς γῆς σου, οὐ διελευσόμεθα δι' ἀγρῶν, οὐδὲ δι' ἀμπελώνων, οὐδὲ πιόμεθα ὕδωρ ἐκ λάκκου σου, ὁδῷ βασιλικῇ πορευσόμεθα, οὐκ ἐκκλινοῦμεν δεξιὰ οὐδὲ εὐώνυμα, ἕως ἂν παρέλθωμεν τὰ ὅριά σου.
18And Edom said unto him: 'Thou shalt not pass through me, lest I come out with the sword against thee.'
18καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὸν Ἐδώμ· οὐ διελεύσῃ δι' ἐμοῦ, εἰ δὲ μή, ἐν πολέμῳ ἐξελεύσομαι εἰς συνάντησίν σοι.
19And the children of Israel said unto him: 'We will go up by the highway; and if we drink of thy water, I and my cattle, then will I give the price thereof; let me only pass through on my feet; there is no hurt.'
19καὶ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραήλ· παρά τὸ ὄρος παρελευσόμεθα, ἐὰν δὲ τοῦ ὕδατός σου πίωμεν ἐγώ τε καὶ τὰ κτήνη μου, δώσω τιμήν σοι· ἀλλὰ τὸ πρᾶγμα οὐδέν ἐστι, παρὰ τὸ ὄρος παρελευσόμεθα.
20And he said: 'Thou shalt not pass through.' And Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand.
20ὁ δὲ εἶπεν· οὐ διελεύσῃ δι' ἐμοῦ. καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ἐδὼμ εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτῷ ἐν ὄχλῳ βαρεῖ καὶ ἐν χειρὶ ἰσχυρᾷ.
21Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border; wherefore Israel turned away from him.
21καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησεν Ἐδὼμ δοῦναι τῷ Ἰσραὴλ παρελθεῖν διὰ τῶν ὁρίων αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐξέκλινεν Ἰσραὴλ ἀπ' αὐτοῦ.
22And they journeyed from Kadesh; and the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came unto mount Hor.
22Καὶ ἀπῇραν ἐκ Κάδης· καὶ παρεγένοντο οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραήλ, πᾶσα ἡ συναγωγὴ εἰς Ὢρ τὸ ὄρος.
23And the LORD spoke unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the border of the land of Edom, saying:
23καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν καὶ Ἀαρὼν ἐν Ὢρ τῷ ὄρει ἐπὶ τῶν ὁρίων τῆς γῆς Ἐδὼμ λέγων·
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 waters of Meribah.
24προστεθήτω Ἀαρὼν πρὸς τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ, ὅτι οὐ μὴ εἰσέλθητε εἰς τὴν γῆν, ἣν δέδωκα τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραήλ, διότι παρωξύνατέ με ἐπὶ τοῦ ὕδατος τῆς λοιδορίας.
25Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto mount Hor.
25λάβε τὸν Ἀαρὼν καὶ Ἐλεάζαρ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀναβίβασον αὐτοὺς εἰς Ὢρ τὸ ὄρος ἔναντι πάσης τῆς συναγωγῆς
26And strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son; and Aaron shall be gathered unto his people, and shall die there.'
26καὶ ἔκδυσον Ἀαρὼν τὴν στολὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔνδυσον Ἐλεάζαρ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ Ἀαρὼν προστεθεὶς ἀποθανέτω ἐκεῖ.
27And Moses did as the LORD commanded; and they went up into mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.
27καὶ ἐποίησε Μωυσῆς καθὰ συνέταξε Κύριος αὐτῷ, καὶ ἀνεβίβασεν αὐτὸν εἰς Ὢρ τὸ ὄρος ἐναντίον πάσης τῆς συναγωγῆς.
28And 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.
28καὶ ἐξέδυσε τὸν Ἀαρὼν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐνέδυσεν αὐτὰ Ἐλεάζαρ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἀπέθανεν Ἀαρὼν ἐπὶ τῆς κορυφῆς τοῦ ὄρους, καὶ κατέβη Μωυσῆς καὶ Ἐλεάζαρ ἐκ τοῦ ὄρους.
29And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they wept for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.
29καὶ εἶδε πᾶσα ἡ συναγωγή, ὅτι ἀπελύθη Ἀαρών, καὶ ἔκλαυσαν τὸν Ἀαρὼν τριάκοντα ἡμέρας πᾶς οἶκος Ἰσραήλ.
