Kwan 20

1 E dwe mokwongo oganda jo-Israel duto nochopo e Thim mar Zin, kendo negidak Kadesh. Kanyo ema Miriam nothoe moike.

And the children of Israel, and all the multitude came into the desert of Sin, in the first month: and the people abode in Cades. And Mary died there, and was buried in the same place.

2 Koro ne onge pi mane ogandani nyalo modho, kendo ji nochokore mondo okwed Musa gi Harun.

And the people wanting water, came together against Moses and Aaron:

3 Negidhawo gi Musa kagiwacho niya, “Mad ne bed ni watho e kinde mane owetewa otho e nyim Jehova Nyasaye!

And making a sedition, they said: Would God we had perished among our brethren before the Lord.

4 Angʼo momiyo ikelo oganda Jehova Nyasaye e thimni, mondo mi wan kod jambwa watho kaye?

Why have you brought out the church of the Lord into the wilderness, that both we and our cattle should die?

5 Angʼo momiyo ne igolowa Misri mondo ikelwa e piny malichni? Pinyni onge gi cham kata ngʼowu, mzabibu kata olembe mongʼinore to bende onge kata mana pi modho!”

Why have you made us come up out of Egypt, and have brought us into this wretched place which cannot be sowed, nor bringeth forth figs, nor vines, nor pomegranates, neither is there any water to drink?

6 Musa kod Harun nowuok koa e chokruok kochiko dhoranga Hemb Romo mi gipodho auma, kendo duongʼ mar Jehova Nyasaye nofwenyorenegi.

And Moses and Aaron leaving the multitude, went into the tabernacle of the covenant, and fell flat upon the ground, and cried to the Lord, and said: O Lord God, hear the cry of this people, and open to them thy treasure, a fountain of living water, that being satisfied, they may cease to murmur. And the glory of the Lord appeared over them.

7 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

8 “Kaw odunga, kod owadu Harun mondo uchok jo-Israel kaachiel. Wuo kod lwanda ka gineno kendo pi biro chwer koa kuome. Ibiro golo pi kowuok e lwandano ne oganda mondo gin kod jambgi gimodhi.”

Take the rod, and assemble the people together, thou and Aaron thy brother, and speak to the rock before them, and it shall yield waters. And when thou hast brought forth water out of the rock, all the multitude and their cattle shall drink.

9 Omiyo Musa nokawo odunga e nyim Jehova Nyasaye mana kaka ne ochike.

Moses therefore took the rod, which was before the Lord, as he had commanded him,

10 En kod Harun nochoko chokruok kanyakla e nyim lwanda kendo Musa nowachonegi niya, “Winjuru, un jongʼanyogi, bende ochuno ni nyaka wamiu pi kowuok e lwandani?”

And having gathered together the multitude before the rock, he said to them: Hear, ye rebellious and incredulous: Can we bring you forth water out of this rock?

11 Eka Musa norieyo bade malo mi ochwado lwandano nyadiriyo gi odunga mare. Pi nobubni oko, kendo ogandago gi jambgi nomodho.

And when Moses had lifted up his hand, and struck the rock twice with the rod, there came forth water in great abundance, so that the people and their cattle drank,

12 To Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa kod Harun niya, “Nikech ne ok uketo genou kuoma chuth mondo umiya duongʼ kaka ngʼama ler e nyim jo-Israel, ok unuter ogandani e piny ma amiyogi.”

And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron: Because you have not believed me, to sanctify me before the children of Israel, you shall not bring these people into the land, which I will give them.

13 Magi ne gin pige mag Meriba, kama jo-Israel nongʼurie gi Jehova Nyasaye kendo mano e kama nonyisore owuon kaka ngʼama ler e kindgi.

This is the Water of contradiction, where the children of Israel strove with words against the Lord, and he was sanctified in them.

14 Musa nooro joote moa Kadesh ir ruodh Edom, kowacho kama: “Ma e gima owadu Israel wacho: Ingʼeyo tije matek duto ma wasebedo godo.

In the mean time Moses sent messengers from Cades to the king of Edom, to say: Thus saith thy brother Israel: Thou knowest all the labour that hath come upon us:

15 Kwerewa nodhi Misri, kendo negidak kuno kuom higni mathoth. Jo-Misri nosandowa kod wuonewa,

In what manner our fathers went down into Egypt, and there we dwelt a long time, and the Egyptians afflicted us and our fathers.

16 to kane waywakne Jehova Nyasaye, nowinjo ywakwa kendo nooro malaika mi ogolowa waa Misri. “Koro wan Kadesh ka, ma en dala mantiere but piny ma irito.

And how we cried to the Lord, and he heard us, and sent an angel, who hath brought us out of Egypt. Lo, we are now in the city of Cades, which is in the uttermost of thy borders,

17 Yienwa wakal e pinyi. Ok wananyon puodho moro amora kata puoth mzabibu, kata modho pi moa e soko moro amora. Wabiro mana luwo yor ruoth tir kendo ok wanagom yo korachwich kata koracham nyaka wakal pinyi duto.”

And we beseech thee that we may have leave to pass through thy country. We will not go through the fields, nor through the vineyards, we will not drink the waters of thy wells, but we will go by the common highway, neither turning aside to the right hand, nor to the left, till we are past thy borders.

18 To Edom nodwoko niya, “Ok unyal luwo ka; ka utemo, to wabiro wuok riat kendo wamonju gi ligangla.”

And Edom answered them: Thou shalt not pass by me: if thou dost I will come out armed against thee.

19 Jo-Israel nodwoko niya, “Wabiro luwo yo maduongʼ tir, kendo ka wan kata jambwa omodho piu mora amora, to wabiro chulo. Wadwaro mana kalo kanyo ka wawuotho gi tiendwa; maonge gimoro amora machielo mwadwaro timo.”

And the children of Israel said: We will go by the beaten way: and if we and our cattle drink of thy waters, we will give thee what is just: there shall be no difficulty in the price, only let us pass speedily.

20 Negidwoko kendo niya, “Ok unyal luwo kae.” Eka Edom nochodo mar kedo kodgi gi jolweny mangʼeny kendo mager.

But he answered: Thou shalt not pass. And immediately he came forth to meet them with an infinite multitude, and a strong hand,

21 Nikech Edom notamore ni ok gikal e pinye, Israel nowere kodgi.

Neither would he condescend to their desire to grant them passage through his borders. Wherefore Israel turned another way from him.

22 Oganda duto mar Israel nowuok Kadesh mi gibiro Got Hor.

And when they had removed the camp from Cades, they came to mount Her, which is in the borders of the land of Edom:

23 E Got Hor machiegni gi tongʼ mar Edom, Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa gi Harun niya,

Where the Lord spoke to Moses:

24 “Harun nochokre gi joge. Ok enodonji e piny mamiyo jo-Israel, nikech un ji ariyogi nungʼanyo ne chikena e pige mag Meriba.

Let Aaron, saith he, go to his people: for he shall not go into the land which I have given the children of Israel, because he was incredulous to my words, at the waters of contradiction.

25 Kaw Harun kod wuode Eliazar mondo itergi e Got Hor.

Take Aaron and his son with him, and bring them up into mount Hor:

26 Lony lep Harun kendo irwakne wuode ma Eliazar, nimar Harun biro riwore gi jogi; mi otho kanyo.”

And when thou hast stripped the father of his vesture, thou shalt vest therewith Eleazar his son: Aaron shall be gathered to his people, and die there.

27 Musa notimo kaka Jehova Nyasaye nowachone: Negidhi e Got Hor ka oganda duto neno.

Moses did as the Lord had commanded: and they went up into mount Hor before all the multitude.

28 Musa nogolo lep Harun mi orwako ne wuode ma Eliazar. Kendo Harun notho ewi godno. Eka Musa kod Eliazar nolor oa ewi got,

And when he had stripped Aaron of his vestments, he vested Eleazar his son with them. And Aaron being dead in the top of the mountain, he came down with Eleazar.

29 kendo ka oganda duto nowinjo ni Harun osetho, to jo-Israel noywage kuom ndalo piero adek.

And all the multitude seeing that Aaron was dead, mourned for him thirty days throughout all their families.
