Numbers 20
1 In the first month, the whole congregation of Israel entered the Wilderness of Zin and stayed in Kadesh. There Miriam died and was buried.
Ụmụ Izrel, bụ nzukọ ahụ niile rutere nʼọzara Zin nʼọnwa nke mbụ. Ha manyere ụlọ ha na Kadesh. Ọ bụkwa nʼebe ahụ ka Miriam nwụrụ. E lie ya.
2 Now there was no water for the congregation, so they gathered against Moses and Aaron.
Ma mmiri ọṅụṅụ adịghị nye ndị nzukọ ahụ. Ya mere na ha gbakọtara imegide Mosis na Erọn.
3 The people quarreled with Moses and said, “If only we had perished with our brothers before the LORD!
Ha sesịrị Mosis okwu sị, “Ọ gaara akara anyị mma ma a sị na anyị nwụrụ mgbe ụmụnna anyị nwụrụ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.
4 Why have you brought the LORD’s assembly into this wilderness for us and our livestock to die here?
Gịnị mere i ji kpọbata ọgbakọ nke Onyenwe anyị nʼime ọzara a, ime ka anyị na anụ ụlọ anyị niile nwụọ nʼebe a?
5 Why have you led us up out of Egypt to bring us to this wretched place? It is not a place of grain, figs, vines, or pomegranates—and there is no water to drink!”
Gịnị mere i ji si nʼala Ijipt kpọpụta anyị, kpọbata anyị nʼebe ọjọọ a? O nweghị mkpụrụ ọghịgha maọbụ fiig, enweghị mkpụrụ vaịnị maọbụ mkpụrụ pomegranet. Ọ dịghị mmiri dị nke ha ga-aṅụ.”
6 Then Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. They fell facedown, and the glory of the LORD appeared to them.
Mosis na Erọn si nʼebe ọgbakọ ahụ nọ tụgharịa gaa nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute, daa kpụọ ihu ha nʼala. E mee ka ha hụ ebube Onyenwe anyị anya.
7 And the LORD said to Moses,
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị,
8 “Take the staff and assemble the congregation. You and your brother Aaron are to speak to the rock while they watch, and it will pour out its water. You will bring out water from the rock and provide drink for the congregation and their livestock.”
“Were mkpara ahụ, gị na nwanne gị Erọn kpọkọta nzukọ Izrel niile. Gwa nkume ahụ okwu nʼihu ha, ọ ga-asọpụta mmiri ya. Unu ga-eme ka mmiri si na nkume ahụ sọpụta nye ọgbakọ ahụ, ka ha na igwe anụ ụlọ ha, ṅụọ mmiri.”
9 So Moses took the staff from the LORD’s presence, just as he had been commanded.
Ya mere Mosis sitere nʼihu Onyenwe anyị weere mkpara ahụ dịka iwu Onyenwe anyị nyere ya si dị.
10 Then Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly in front of the rock, and Moses said to them, “Listen now, you rebels, must we bring you water out of this rock?”
Emesịa, Mosis na Erọn kpọkọtara ụmụ Izrel niile nʼihu nkume ahụ. Mgbe ha bịaruru nso, Mosis gwara ha okwu sị ha, “Geenụ ntị unu ndị nnupu isi! Ọ bụ site na nkume a ka anyị ga-enye unu mmiri?”
11 Then Moses raised his hand and struck the rock twice with his staff, so that a great amount of water gushed out, and the congregation and their livestock were able to drink.
Mgbe ahụ Mosis weliri aka ya elu jiri mkpara ahụ tie nkume ahụ ugboro abụọ. Mmiri sitere na ya sọpụta. Ọgbakọ Izrel niile na igwe anụ ụlọ ha ṅụkwara mmiri.
12 But the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not trust Me to show My holiness in the sight of the Israelites, you will not bring this assembly into the land that I have given them.”
Ma Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis na Erọn okwu sị, “Ebe ọ bụ na unu jụrụ ikwenye nʼokwu m, jụkwa ido m nsọ nʼihu ndị Izrel niile, unu agaghị edubata ọgbakọ ndị a nʼala ahụ m na-aga inye ha.”
13 These were the waters of Meribah, where the Israelites quarreled with the LORD, and He showed His holiness among them.
A kpọrọ ebe ahụ mmiri Meriba, nʼihi na ọ bụ nʼebe ahụ ka Izrel wesoro Onyenwe anyị iwe. O gosikwara ha ịdị nsọ ya.
14 From Kadesh, Moses sent messengers to tell the king of Edom, “This is what your brother Israel says: You know all the hardship that has befallen us,
Mosis sitere nʼọzara Kadesh, zipụ ndị ozi ka ha gakwuru eze Edọm, sị ya, “Otu a ka nwanne gị bụ Izrel na-ekwu: Ị nụla akụkọ ihe nhụju anya niile dakwasịrị anyị.
15 how our fathers went down to Egypt, where we lived many years. The Egyptians mistreated us and our fathers,
Nna anyị gara biri nʼala Ijipt. Anyị biri nʼebe ahụ ọtụtụ afọ. Ndị Ijipt mekpara anyị na nna nna anyị ha ahụ.
16 and when we cried out to the LORD, He heard our voice, sent an angel, and brought us out of Egypt. Now look, we are in Kadesh, a city on the edge of your territory.
Ma mgbe anyị tikuru Onyenwe anyị mkpu akwa, ọ nụrụ akwa anyị, zitere anyị mmụọ ozi ya, onye dupụtara anyị site nʼala Ijipt. “Ugbu a, anyị nọ na Kadesh obodo dị nso nʼoke ala gị.
17 Please let us pass through your land. We will not cut through any field or vineyard, or drink water from any well. We will stay on the King’s Highway; we will not turn to the right or to the left until we have passed through your territory.”
Biko kwere ka anyị si nʼala gị gafee. Anyị ga-akpachara anya hụ na anyị esiteghị nʼubi ihe ọkụkụ gị maọbụ nʼubi vaịnị gị gafee. Anyị agaghị aṅụ mmiri ọbụla site nʼolulu mmiri gị. Anyị ga-anọgide naanị nʼokporoụzọ eze. Anyị agaghị ahapụ ya, chee ihu akụkụ aka nri maọbụ aka ekpe, tutu ruo mgbe anyị gafechara oke ala gị.”
18 But Edom answered, “You may not travel through our land, or we will come out and confront you with the sword.”
Ma eze Edọm zara sị, “Unu amanyela ụkwụ; ọ bụrụ na unu anwaa anwa bata nʼala m, aga m eji ndị agha m zute unu.”
19 “We will stay on the main road,” the Israelites replied, “and if we or our herds drink your water, we will pay for it. There will be no problem; only let us pass through on foot.”
Ma ndị Izrel zara ozi o ziri sị ya, “Ọ bụ naanị nʼokporoụzọ ka anyị ga-esi gafee. Ọ bụrụ na anyị maọbụ anụ ụlọ anyị a ṅụọ mmiri dị nʼala gị, anyị ga-akwụ ọnụahịa ya. Naanị mkpa anyị bụ ịgafe. Ọ dịghị ihe ọzọ anyị chọrọ.”
20 But Edom insisted, “You may not pass through.” And they came out to confront the Israelites with a large army and a strong hand.
Ma eze Edọm aṅaghị ntị, ọ gwaghere ha ọnụ sị, “Unu agaghị esite nʼala gabiga.” Edọm chịkọtara ọtụtụ ndị agha dị ike duru ha pụọ ịga izute ha.
21 So Edom refused to allow Israel to pass through their territory, and Israel turned away from them.
Ebe ọ bụ na ndị Edọm ekweghị ka ndị Izrel si nʼoke ala ha gafee, ndị Izrel tụgharịrị azụ hapụ isi ụzọ ahụ.
22 After they had set out from Kadesh, the whole congregation of Israel came to Mount Hor.
Ọgbakọ Izrel niile sitere na Kadesh bulie ije gagide rute nʼugwu Hor.
23 And at Mount Hor, near the border of the land of Edom, the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
Nʼugwu Hor, nʼoke ala Edọm, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis na Erọn okwu sị ha,
24 “Aaron will be gathered to his people; he will not enter the land that I have given the Israelites, because both of you rebelled against My command at the waters of Meribah.
“Oge eruola mgbe Erọn ga-anwụ. Ọ gaghị abanye nʼala ahụ m nyere ụmụ Izrel, nʼihi na unu abụọ nupuru isi nʼiwu m na mmiri Meriba.
25 Take Aaron and his son Eleazar and bring them up Mount Hor.
Ugbu a, kpọrọ Erọn na nwa ya nwoke Elieza, duru ha gaa nʼugwu Hor.
26 Remove Aaron’s priestly garments and put them on his son Eleazar. Aaron will be gathered to his people and will die there.”
Nʼebe ahụ ka ị ga-eyipụ Erọn uwe onye nchụaja o yi, yikwasị ha Elieza nwa ya nwoke. Ọ bụkwa nʼebe ahụ ka Erọn ga-anọ nwụọ.”
27 So Moses did as the LORD had commanded, and they climbed Mount Hor in the sight of the whole congregation.
Ya mere Mosis mere dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere ya iwu. Ha atọ rigoro nʼugwu Hor mgbe nzukọ Izrel niile nọ na-ele ha anya.
28 After Moses had removed Aaron’s garments and put them on his son Eleazar, Aaron died there on top of the mountain. Then Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.
Mgbe ha ruru nʼelu ugwu ahụ, Mosis yipụrụ Erọn uwe onye nchụaja ya yikwasị ha nwa ya nwoke Elieza. Erọn nọkwa nʼebe ahụ, nʼelu ugwu ahụ nwụọ. Emesịa, Mosis na Elieza tụgharịrị site nʼugwu ahụ lọghachi.
29 When the whole congregation saw that Aaron had died, the entire house of Israel mourned for him thirty days.
Mgbe ọgbakọ Izrel nụrụ ihe banyere ọnwụ Erọn ha ruru ụjụ nʼihi ya iri ụbọchị atọ.
