Numbers 20
1 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.
Dalam bulan satu seluruh umat Israel tiba di padang gurun Zin dan menetap di Kades. Miryam meninggal dan dikuburkan di situ.
2 And the people wanting water, came together against Moses and Aaron:
Pada suatu waktu di tempat perkemahan mereka tidak ada air. Maka datanglah orang-orang itu mengerumuni Musa dan Harun
3 And making a sedition, they said: Would God we had perished among our brethren before the Lord.
sambil mengomel, "Lebih baik sekiranya kami mati di hadapan TUHAN bersama-sama dengan saudara-saudara kami!
4 Why have you brought out the church of the Lord into the wilderness, that both we and our cattle should die?
Mengapa kamu membawa kami ke padang gurun ini? Apakah supaya kami mati di sini bersama-sama dengan ternak kami?
5 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?
Untuk apa kamu membawa kami keluar dari Mesir ke tempat sengsara ini yang tidak bisa ditanami apa-apa? Di sini tak ada gandum, tak ada pohon ara, anggur, dan delima. Bahkan air minum pun tak ada!"
6 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.
Musa dan Harun pergi menjauhi orang-orang itu lalu berdiri di dekat pintu Kemah TUHAN. Mereka sujud, lalu cahaya kehadiran TUHAN menyinari mereka.
7 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
TUHAN berkata kepada Musa,
8 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.
"Ambillah tongkat yang ada di depan Peti Perjanjian, lalu engkau dan Harun harus mengumpulkan seluruh umat. Di depan mereka semua, engkau harus berkata kepada bukit batu yang ada di situ supaya memancurkan air. Demikianlah engkau mengeluarkan air dari bukit batu itu supaya rakyat dan ternak mereka dapat minum."
9 Moses therefore took the rod, which was before the Lord, as he had commanded him,
Maka pergilah Musa mengambil tongkat itu seperti yang diperintahkan TUHAN.
10 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?
Musa dan Harun mengumpulkan seluruh umat di depan bukit batu itu. Lalu Musa berkata, "Dengarlah, hai kaum pemberontak! Apakah kami harus mengeluarkan air dari bukit batu ini untuk kamu?"
11 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,
Lalu Musa mengangkat tongkat itu dan memukulkannya pada bukit batu itu dua kali. Maka mancurlah air dengan derasnya, sehingga semua orang dan ternak bisa minum.
12 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.
Tetapi TUHAN menegur Musa dan Harun, kata-Nya, "Karena kamu kurang percaya kepada-Ku untuk menyatakan kuasa-Ku yang suci di depan bangsa Israel, kamu tidak akan memimpin mereka masuk ke negeri yang Kujanjikan kepada mereka."
13 This is the Water of contradiction, where the children of Israel strove with words against the Lord, and he was sanctified in them.
Itulah mata air Meriba. Di tempat itu orang-orang Israel mengomel terhadap TUHAN, dan di situ juga TUHAN menunjukkan kuasa-Nya yang suci kepada bangsa itu.
14 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:
Kemudian dari Kades, Musa mengirim utusan-utusan untuk menghadap raja Edom. Kata mereka, "Kami dari suku-suku Israel yang masih ada hubungan saudara dengan Tuanku. Tuanku mungkin tahu kesusahan yang menimpa kami.
15 In what manner our fathers went down into Egypt, and there we dwelt a long time, and the Egyptians afflicted us and our fathers.
Nenek moyang kami pergi ke Mesir dan menetap di sana bertahun-tahun lamanya. Leluhur kami dan kami diperlakukan tidak baik oleh bangsa Mesir,
16 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,
dan kami berseru kepada TUHAN minta tolong. Ia mendengar seruan kami dan mengutus seorang malaikat. Malaikat itu memimpin kami keluar dari tanah Mesir. Sekarang kami berada di Kades, sebuah kota di perbatasan wilayah Tuanku.
17 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.
Kami mohon kiranya Tuanku sudi mengizinkan kami melalui negeri ini. Kami dan ternak kami tidak akan menyimpang dari jalanan dan tidak akan masuk ke ladang-ladang atau kebun-kebun anggur. Kami tidak akan minum air dari sumur-sumur Tuanku. Kami akan berjalan di jalan raya saja sampai kami keluar dari daerah Tuanku."
18 And Edom answered them: Thou shalt not pass by me: if thou dost I will come out armed against thee.
Tetapi orang Edom menjawab, "Kamu tidak kami izinkan melalui wilayah kami. Kalau kamu nekat, kami akan menyerang kamu!"
19 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.
Orang Israel berkata, "Kami akan berjalan melalui jalan raya, dan kalau kami atau ternak kami minum airmu, kami akan membayar. Kami hanya ingin lewat."
20 But he answered: Thou shalt not pass. And immediately he came forth to meet them with an infinite multitude, and a strong hand,
Orang Edom berkata lagi, "Tidak boleh!" Lalu mereka keluar dengan tentara yang kuat untuk menyerang bangsa Israel.
21 Neither would he condescend to their desire to grant them passage through his borders. Wherefore Israel turned another way from him.
Maka orang Israel berbalik dan mencari jalan lain sebab tidak diizinkan orang Edom melalui daerah mereka.
22 And when they had removed the camp from Cades, they came to mount Her, which is in the borders of the land of Edom:
Seluruh umat Israel meninggalkan Kades lalu tiba di Gunung Hor,
23 Where the Lord spoke to Moses:
di perbatasan Edom. Di situ TUHAN berkata kepada Musa dan Harun,
24 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.
"Harun tidak akan masuk ke negeri yang sudah Kujanjikan kepada bangsa Israel; ia akan mati karena kamu berdua telah melawan perintah-Ku di dekat mata air Meriba.
25 Take Aaron and his son with him, and bring them up into mount Hor:
Bawalah Harun dan Eleazar, anaknya, naik ke Gunung Hor.
26 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.
Tanggalkanlah pakaian Harun dan kenakanlah pada Eleazar. Harun akan mati di tempat itu."
27 Moses did as the Lord had commanded: and they went up into mount Hor before all the multitude.
Musa melakukan apa yang diperintahkan TUHAN. Musa, Harun dan Eleazar mendaki Gunung Hor disaksikan oleh seluruh umat.
28 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.
Lalu Musa menanggalkan pakaian Harun dan mengenakannya pada Eleazar. Di puncak gunung itu Harun meninggal, kemudian Musa dan Eleazar turun kembali.
29 And all the multitude seeing that Aaron was dead, mourned for him thirty days throughout all their families.
Seluruh umat mendengar bahwa Harun sudah meninggal, dan mereka semua berkabung untuk dia tiga puluh hari lamanya.
