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.
Kemudian sampailah orang Israel, yakni segenap umat itu, ke padang gurun Zin, dalam bulan pertama, lalu tinggallah bangsa itu di Kadesh. Matilah Miryam di situ dan dikuburkan di situ.
2 Now there was no water for the congregation, so they gathered against Moses and Aaron.
Pada suatu kali, ketika tidak ada air bagi umat itu, berkumpullah mereka mengerumuni Musa dan Harun,
3 The people quarreled with Moses and said, “If only we had perished with our brothers before the LORD!
dan bertengkarlah bangsa itu dengan Musa, katanya: "Sekiranya kami mati binasa pada waktu saudara-saudara kami mati binasa di hadapan TUHAN!
4 Why have you brought the LORD’s assembly into this wilderness for us and our livestock to die here?
Mengapa kamu membawa jemaah TUHAN ke padang gurun ini, supaya kami dan ternak kami mati di situ?
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!”
Mengapa kamu memimpin kami keluar dari Mesir, untuk membawa kami ke tempat celaka ini, yang bukan tempat menabur, tanpa pohon ara, anggur dan delima, bahkan air minumpun tidak ada?"
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.
Maka pergilah Musa dan Harun dari umat itu ke pintu Kemah Pertemuan, lalu sujud. Kemudian tampaklah kemuliaan TUHAN kepada mereka.
7 And the LORD said to Moses,
TUHAN berfirman kepada Musa:
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.”
"Ambillah tongkatmu itu dan engkau dan Harun, kakakmu, harus menyuruh umat itu berkumpul; katakanlah di depan mata mereka kepada bukit batu itu supaya diberi airnya; demikianlah engkau mengeluarkan air dari bukit batu itu bagi mereka dan memberi minum umat itu serta ternaknya."
9 So Moses took the staff from the LORD’s presence, just as he had been commanded.
Lalu Musa mengambil tongkat itu dari hadapan TUHAN, seperti yang diperintahkan-Nya kepadanya.
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?”
Ketika Musa dan Harun telah mengumpulkan jemaah itu di depan bukit batu itu, berkatalah ia kepada mereka: "Dengarlah kepadaku, hai orang-orang durhaka, apakah kami harus mengeluarkan air bagimu dari bukit batu ini?"
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.
Sesudah itu Musa mengangkat tangannya, lalu memukul bukit batu itu dengan tongkatnya dua kali, maka keluarlah banyak air, sehingga umat itu dan ternak mereka dapat minum.
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.”
Tetapi TUHAN berfirman kepada Musa dan Harun: "Karena kamu tidak percaya kepada-Ku dan tidak menghormati kekudusan-Ku di depan mata orang Israel, itulah sebabnya kamu tidak akan membawa jemaah ini masuk ke negeri yang akan Kuberikan kepada mereka."
13 These were the waters of Meribah, where the Israelites quarreled with the LORD, and He showed His holiness among them.
Itulah mata air Meriba, tempat orang Israel bertengkar dengan TUHAN dan Ia menunjukkan kekudusan-Nya di antara mereka.
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,
Kemudian Musa mengirim utusan dari Kadesh kepada raja Edom dengan pesan: "Beginilah perkataan saudaramu Israel: Engkau tahu segala kesusahan yang telah menimpa kami,
15 how our fathers went down to Egypt, where we lived many years. The Egyptians mistreated us and our fathers,
bahwa nenek moyang kami pergi ke Mesir, dan kami lama diam di Mesir dan kami dan nenek moyang kami diperlakukan dengan jahat oleh orang Mesir;
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.
bahwa kami berteriak kepada TUHAN, dan Ia mendengarkan suara kami, mengutus seorang malaikat dan menuntun kami keluar dari Mesir. Sekarang ini kami ada di Kadesh, sebuah kota di tepi perbatasanmu.
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.”
Izinkanlah kiranya kami melalui negerimu; kami tidak akan berjalan melalui ladang-ladang dan kebun-kebun anggurmu dan kami tidak akan minum air sumurmu; jalan besar saja akan kami jalani dengan tidak menyimpang ke kanan atau ke kiri, sampai kami melalui batas daerahmu."
18 But Edom answered, “You may not travel through our land, or we will come out and confront you with the sword.”
Tetapi orang Edom berkata kepada mereka: "Tidak boleh kamu melalui daerah kami, nanti kami keluar menjumpai kamu dengan pedang!"
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.”
Lalu berkatalah orang Israel kepadanya: "Kami akan berjalan melalui jalan raya, dan jika kami dan ternak kami minum airmu, maka kami akan membayar uangnya, asal kami diizinkan lalu dengan berjalan kaki, hanya itu saja."
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.
Tetapi jawab mereka: "Tidak boleh kamu lalu." Maka keluarlah orang Edom menghadapi mereka dengan banyak rakyatnya dan dengan tentara yang kuat.
21 So Edom refused to allow Israel to pass through their territory, and Israel turned away from them.
Ketika orang Edom tidak mau mengizinkan orang Israel lalu dari daerahnya, maka orang Israel menyimpang meninggalkannya.
22 After they had set out from Kadesh, the whole congregation of Israel came to Mount Hor.
Setelah mereka berangkat dari Kadesh, sampailah segenap umat Israel ke gunung Hor.
23 And at Mount Hor, near the border of the land of Edom, the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
Lalu berkatalah TUHAN kepada Musa dan Harun dekat gunung Hor, di perbatasan tanah Edom:
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.
"Harun akan dikumpulkan kepada kaum leluhurnya, sebab ia tidak akan masuk ke negeri yang Kuberikan kepada orang Israel, karena kamu berdua telah mendurhaka kepada titah-Ku dekat mata air Meriba.
25 Take Aaron and his son Eleazar and bring them up Mount Hor.
Panggillah Harun dan Eleazar, anaknya, dan bawalah mereka naik ke gunung 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.”
tanggalkanlah pakaian Harun dan kenakanlah itu kepada Eleazar, anaknya, kemudian Harun akan dikumpulkan kepada kaum leluhurnya dan mati di sana."
27 So Moses did as the LORD had commanded, and they climbed Mount Hor in the sight of the whole congregation.
Lalu Musa melakukan seperti yang diperintahkan TUHAN. Mereka naik ke gunung Hor sedang segenap umat itu memandangnya.
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.
Musa menanggalkan pakaian Harun dan mengenakannya kepada Eleazar, anaknya. Lalu matilah Harun di puncak gunung itu, kemudian Musa dengan Eleazar turun dari gunung itu.
29 When the whole congregation saw that Aaron had died, the entire house of Israel mourned for him thirty days.
Ketika segenap umat itu melihat, bahwa Harun telah mati, maka seluruh orang Israel menangisi Harun tiga puluh hari lamanya.
