Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1The children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came into the wilderness of Zin in the first month. The people stayed in Kadesh. 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.
2There 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.
3The people quarreled with Moses, and spoke, saying, “We wish that we had died when our brothers died before the LORD!
3καὶ ἐλοιδορεῖτο ὁ λαὸς πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγοντες· ὄφελον ἀπεθάνομεν ἐν τῇ ἀπωλείᾳ τῶν ἀδελφῶν ἡμῶν ἔναντι Κυρίου·
4Why have you brought the LORD’s assembly into this wilderness, that we should die there, we and our animals?
4καὶ ἱνατί ἀνηγάγετε τὴν συναγωγὴν Κυρίου εἰς τὴν ἔρημον ταύτην ἀποκτεῖναι ἡμᾶς καὶ τὰ κτήνη ἡμῶν;
5Why have you made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in to 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.
6Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and fell on their faces. The LORD’s glory appeared to 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.
7The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
7καὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων·
8“Take the rod, and assemble the congregation, you, and Aaron your brother, and speak to the rock before their eyes, that it pour out its water. You shall bring water to them out of the rock; so you shall give the congregation and their livestock 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.
9Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him.
9καὶ ἔλαβε Μωυσῆς τὴν ράβδον τὴν ἀπέναντι Κυρίου, καθὰ συνέταξε Κύριος,
10Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock, and he said to them, “Hear now, you rebels! Shall we bring water out of this rock for you?”
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;
11Moses lifted up his hand, and struck the rock with his rod twice, and water came out abundantly. The congregation and their livestock drank.
11καὶ ἐπάρας Μωυσῆς τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐπάταξε τὴν πέτραν τῇ ράβδῳ δίς, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὕδωρ πολύ, καὶ ἔπιεν ἡ συναγωγὴ καὶ τὰ κτήνη αὐτῶν.
12The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you didn’t believe in me, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you 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; because 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.
14Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, saying: “Your brother Israel says: You know all the travail that has happened to 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 lived in Egypt a long time. The Egyptians mistreated 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,
16When we cried to the LORD, he heard our voice, sent an angel, and brought us out of Egypt. Behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the edge of your 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·
17“Please let us pass through your land. We will not pass through field or through vineyard, neither will we drink from the water of the wells. We will go along the king’s highway. We will not turn away to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed your 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.
18Edom said to him, “You shall not pass through me, lest I come out with the sword against you.”
18καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὸν Ἐδώμ· οὐ διελεύσῃ δι' ἐμοῦ, εἰ δὲ μή, ἐν πολέμῳ ἐξελεύσομαι εἰς συνάντησίν σοι.
19The children of Israel said to him, “We will go up by the highway; and if we drink your water, I and my livestock, then I will give its price. Only let me, without doing anything else, pass through on my feet.”
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.
20He said, “You shall not pass through.” Edom came out against him with many 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, so Israel turned away from him.
21καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησεν Ἐδὼμ δοῦναι τῷ Ἰσραὴλ παρελθεῖν διὰ τῶν ὁρίων αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐξέκλινεν Ἰσραὴλ ἀπ' αὐτοῦ.
22They traveled from Kadesh, and the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came to Mount Hor.
22Καὶ ἀπῇραν ἐκ Κάδης· καὶ παρεγένοντο οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραήλ, πᾶσα ἡ συναγωγὴ εἰς Ὢρ τὸ ὄρος.
23The LORD spoke to 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 to his people; for he shall not enter into the land which I have given to the children of Israel, because you 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 to 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 on Eleazar his son. Aaron shall be gathered, and shall die there.”
26καὶ ἔκδυσον Ἀαρὼν τὴν στολὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔνδυσον Ἐλεάζαρ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ Ἀαρὼν προστεθεὶς ἀποθανέτω ἐκεῖ.
27Moses did as the LORD commanded. They went up onto 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.
28Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them on Eleazar his son. Aaron died there on the top of the mountain, and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.
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.
29When 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.
