Kwan 20

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

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

And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.

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

And the people chode with Moses, and spake, saying, Would God that we had died when our brethren died before the LORD!

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

And why have ye brought up the congregation of the LORD into this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there?

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!”

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

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 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,

And the LORD spake unto 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 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 Omiyo Musa nokawo odunga e nyim Jehova Nyasaye mana kaka ne ochike.

And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he 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 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 Eka Musa norieyo bade malo mi ochwado lwandano nyadiriyo gi odunga mare. Pi nobubni oko, kendo ogandago gi jambgi nomodho.

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 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 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 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 Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with 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.

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

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 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 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 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.”

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

And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword.

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

And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand.

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

Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border: wherefore Israel turned away from him.

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

And the children of Israel, [even] the whole congregation, journeyed from Kadesh, and came unto mount Hor.

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

And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the coast of the land of Edom, saying,

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

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 Kaw Harun kod wuode Eliazar mondo itergi e Got Hor.

Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto mount Hor:

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

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

And Moses did as the LORD commanded: and they went up into mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.

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

And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they mourned for Aaron thirty days, [even] all the house of Israel.
