3.百姓向摩西爭鬧說：「我們的弟兄曾死在耶和華面前，我們恨不得與他們同死。
They quarreled with Moses and said, 「If only we had died when our brothers fell dead before the LORD!
4.你們為何把耶和華的會眾領到這曠野、使我們和牲畜都死在這裏呢？
Why did you bring the LORD’s community into this wilderness, that we and our livestock should die here?
5.你們為何逼著我們出埃及、領我們到這壞地方呢？這地方不好撒種，也沒有無花果樹、葡萄樹、石榴樹，又沒有水喝。」
Why did you bring us up out of Egypt to this terrible place? It has no grain or figs, grapevines or pomegranates. And there is no water to drink!」
6.摩西、亞倫離開會眾，到會幕門口，俯伏在地；耶和華的榮光向他們顯現。
Moses and Aaron went from the assembly to the entrance to the tent of meeting and fell facedown, and the glory of the LORD appeared to them.
7.耶和華曉諭摩西說：
The LORD said to Moses,
8.「你拿著杖去，和你的哥哥亞倫招聚會眾，在他們眼前吩咐磐石發出水來，水就從磐石流出，給會眾和他們的牲畜喝。」
「Take the staff, and you and your brother Aaron gather the assembly together. Speak to that rock before their eyes and it will pour out its water. You will bring water out of the rock for the community so they and their livestock can drink.」
9.於是摩西照耶和華所吩咐的，從耶和華面前取了杖去。
So Moses took the staff from the LORD’s presence, just as he commanded him.
10.摩西、亞倫就招聚會眾到磐石面前。摩西說：「你們這些背叛我的人聽我說：我為你們使水從這磐石中流出來嗎？」
He and Aaron gathered the assembly together in front of the rock and Moses said to them, 「Listen, you rebels, must we bring you water out of this rock?」
11.摩西舉手，用杖擊打磐石兩下，就有許多水流出來，會眾和他們的牲畜都喝了。
Then Moses raised his arm and struck the rock twice with his staff. Water gushed out, and the community and their livestock drank.
12.耶和華對摩西、亞倫說：「因為你們不信我，不在以色列人眼前尊我為聖，所以你們必不得領這會眾進我所賜給他們的地去。」
But the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, 「Because you did not trust in me enough to honor me as holy in the sight of the Israelites, you will not bring this community into the land I give them.」
13.這水名叫米利巴水【米利巴就是爭鬧的意思】，是因以色列人向耶和華爭鬧，耶和華就在他們面前顯為聖。
These were the waters of Meribah,[a] where the Israelites quarreled with the LORD and where he was proved holy among them.
