Numbers 20
1 पहिले महीने में सारी इस्त्राएली मण्डली के लोग सीनै नाम जंगल में आ गए, और कादेश में रहने लगे; और वहां मरियम मर गई, और वहीं उसको मिट्टी दी गई।
2 वहां मण्डली के लोगों के लिये पानी न मिला; सो वे मूसा और हारून के विरुद्ध इकट्ठे हुए।
3 और लोग यह कहकर मूसा से झगड़ने लगे, कि भला होता कि हम उस समय ही मर गए होते जब हमारे भाई यहोवा के साम्हने मर गए!
4 और तुम यहोवा की मण्डली को इस जंगल में क्यों ले आए हो, कि हम अपने पशुओं समेत यहां मर जाए?
5 और तुम ने हम को मिस्र से क्यों निकाल कर इस बुरे स्थान में पहुंचाया है? यहां तो बीज, वा अंजीर, वा दाखलता, वा अनार, कुछ नहीं है, यहां तक कि पीने को कुछ पानी भी नहीं है।
6 तब मूसा और हारून मण्डली के साम्हने से मिलापवाले तम्बू के द्वार पर जा कर अपने मुंह के बल गिरे। और यहोवा का तेज उन को दिखाई दिया।
7 तब यहोवा ने मूसा से कहा,
8 उस लाठी को ले, और तू अपने भाई हारून समेत मण्डली को इकट्ठा करके उनके देखते उस चट्टान से बातें कर, तब वह अपना जल देगी; इस प्रकार से तू चट्टान में से उनके लिये जल निकाल कर मण्डली के लोगों और उनके पशुओं को पिला।
9 यहोवा की इस आज्ञा के अनुसार मूसा ने उसके साम्हने से लाठी को ले लिया।
10 और मूसा और हारून ने मण्डली को उस चट्टान के साम्हने इकट्ठा किया, तब मूसा ने उससे कह, हे दंगा करनेवालो, सुनो; क्या हम को इस चट्टान में से तुम्हारे लिये जल निकालना होगा?
11 तब मूसा ने हाथ उठा कर लाठी चट्टान पर दो बार मारी; और उस में से बहुत पानी फूट निकला, और मण्डली के लोग अपने पशुओं समेत पीने लगे।
12 परन्तु मूसा और हारून से यहोवा ने कहा, तुम ने जो मुझ पर विश्वास नहीं किया, और मुझे इस्त्राएलियों की दृष्टि में पवित्र नहीं ठहराया, इसलिये तुम इस मण्डली को उस देश में पहुंचाने न पाओगे जिसे मैं ने उन्हें दिया है।
13 उस सोते का नाम मरीबा पड़ा, क्योंकि इस्त्राएलियों ने यहोवा से झगड़ा किया था, और वह उनके बीच पवित्र ठहराया गया॥
14 फिर मूसा ने कादेश से एदोम के राजा के पास दूत भेजे, कि तेरा भाई इस्त्राएल यों कहता है, कि हम पर जो जो क्लेश पड़े हैं वह तू जानता होगा;
15 अर्थात यह कि हमारे पुरखा मिस्र में गए थे, और हम मिस्र में बहुत दिन रहे; और मिस्त्रियों ने हमारे पुरखाओं के साथ और हमारे साथ भी बुरा बर्ताव किया;
16 परन्तु जब हम ने यहोवा की दोहाई दी तब उसने हमारी सुनी, और एक दूत को भेज कर हमें मिस्र से निकाल ले आया है; सो अब हम कादेश नगर में हैं जो तेरे सिवाने ही पर है।
17 सो हमें अपने देश में से हो कर जाने दे। हम किसी खेत वा दाख की बारी से हो कर न चलेंगे, और कूओं का पानी न पीएंगे; सड़क-सड़क हो कर चले जाएंगे, और जब तक तेरे देश से बाहर न हो जाएं, तब तक न दाहिने न बाएं मुड़ेंगे।
18 परन्तु एदोमियों ने उसके पास कहला भेजा, कि तू मेरे देश में से हो कर मत जा, नहीं तो मैं तलवार लिये हुए तेरा साम्हना करने को निकलूंगा।
19 इस्त्राएलियों ने उसके पास फिर कहला भेजा, कि हम सड़क ही सड़क चलेंगे, और यदि हम और हमारे पशु तेरा पानी पीएं, तो उसका दाम देंगे, हम को और कुछ नहीं, केवल पांव पांव चलकर निकल जाने दे।
20 परन्तु उसने कहा, तू आने न पाएगा। और एदोम बड़ी सेना ले कर भुजबल से उसका साम्हना करने को निकल आया।
21 इस प्रकार एदोम ने इस्त्राएल को अपने देश के भीतर से हो कर जाने देने से इन्कार किया; इसलिये इस्त्राएल उसकी ओर से मुड़ गए॥
22 तब इस्त्राएलियों की सारी मण्डली कादेश से कूच करके होर नाम पहाड़ के पास आ गई।
23 और एदोम देश के सिवाने पर होर पहाड़ में यहोवा ने मूसा और हारून से कहा,
24 हारून अपने लोगों में जा मिलेगा; क्योंकि तुम दोनों ने जो मरीबा नाम सोते पर मेरा कहना छोड़कर मुझ से बलवा किया है, इस कारण वह उस देश में जाने न पाएगा जिसे मैं ने इस्त्राएलियों को दिया है।
25 सो तू हारून और उसके पुत्र एलीआजर को होर पहाड़ पर ले चल;
26 और हारून के वस्त्र उतार के उसके पुत्र एलीआजर को पहिना; तब हारून वहीं मरकर अपने लोगों मे जा मिलेगा।
27 यहोवा की इस आज्ञा के अनुसार मूसा ने किया; वे सारी मण्डली के देखते होर पहाड़ पर चढ़ गए।
28 तब मूसा ने हारून के वस्त्र उतार के उसके पुत्र एलीआजर को पहिनाए और हारून वहीं पहाड़ की चोटी पर मर गया। तब मूसा और एलीआजर पहाड़ पर से उतर आए।
29 और जब इस्त्राएल की सारी मण्डली ने देखा कि हारून का प्राण छूट गया है, तब इस्त्राएल के सब घराने के लोग उसके लिये तीस दिन तक रोते रहे॥
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 And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.
3 And the people chode with Moses, and spake, saying, Would God that we had died when our brethren died before the Lord!
4 And why have ye brought up the congregation of the Lord into this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there?
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 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 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
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 And Moses took the rod from before the Lord, as he commanded him.
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 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 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 This is the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the Lord, and he was sanctified in them.
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 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 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 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 high way, we will not turn to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy borders.
18 And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword.
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 And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand.
21 Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border: wherefore Israel turned away from him.
22 And the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, journeyed from Kadesh, and came unto mount Hor.
23 And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the coast of the land of Edom, saying,
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 Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto mount Hor:
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 And Moses did as the Lord commanded: and they went up into mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.
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 And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they mourned for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.
1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among them.
3 And Moses by the commandment of the Lord sent them from the wilderness of Paran: all those men were heads of the children of Israel.
4 And these were their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur.
5 Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.
6 Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
7 Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.
8 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun.
9 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu.
10 Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi.
11 Of the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi.
12 Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli.
13 Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael.
14 Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi.
15 Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.
16 These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.
17 And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this way southward, and go up into the mountain:
18 And see the land, what it is; and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many;
19 And what the land is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad; and what cities they be that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds;
20 And what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether there be wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the firstripe grapes.
21 So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath.
22 And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
23 And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
24 The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence.
25 And they returned from searching of the land after forty days.
26 And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and shewed them the fruit of the land.
27 And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.
28 Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there.
29 The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan.
30 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.
31 But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.
32 And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.
33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
