< 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.
Ary tamin’ ny volana voalohany tonga tao an-efitra Zina ny Zanak’ Isiraely, dia ny fiangonana rehetra; ary nitoetra tao Kadesy ny olona. Ary maty tao Miriama ka nalevina tao.
2 And the people wanting water, came together against Moses and Aaron:
Ary tsy nisy rano ho an’ ny fiangonana, ka dia niangona izy hiodina amin’ i Mosesy sy Arona.
3 And making a sedition, they said: Would God we had perished among our brethren before the Lord.
Dia nila ady tamin’ i Mosesy ny olona ka niteny hoe: Inay anie izahay mba maty tamin’ ny nahafatesan’ ny rahalahinay teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah!
4 Why have you brought out the church of the Lord into the wilderness, that both we and our cattle should die?
Fa nahoana no nitondra ny fiangonan’ i Jehovah ho amin’ ity efitra ity ianareo, mba hahafaty anay sy ny ombinay eto?
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?
Ary nahoana no nitondra anay niakatra avy tany Egypta ianareo, hampiditra anay ho amin’ ity tany ratsy ity, izay tsy misy voan-javatra, na aviavy, na voaloboka, na ampongabendanitra akory, sady tsy misy rano hosotroina?
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.
Dia niala teo anatrehan’ ny fiangonana Mosesy sy Arona ho eo anoloan’ ny varavaran’ ny trano-lay fihaonana ka niankohoka; dia niseho taminy ny voninahitr’ i Jehovah.
7 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
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.
Alao ny tehina, ka vorionao sy Arona rahalahinao ny fiangonana, ary mitenena amin’ ny vatolampy eo imasony, dia hampiboiboika ny ranony izy; ary hampivoaka rano ho an’ ny olona avy amin’ ny vatolampy ianao, ka dia hampisotroinao ny fiangonana sy ny biby fiompiny.
9 Moses therefore took the rod, which was before the Lord, as he had commanded him,
Dia nalain’ i Mosesy ny tehina avy teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah, araka izay nandidiany azy.
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?
Dia novorin’ i Mosesy sy Arona teo anoloan’ ny vatolampy ny fiangonana; ka dia hoy izy: Mihainoa, ry mpiodina: Moa amin’ ity vatolampy ity va no hampivoahanay rano ho anareo?
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,
Ary Mosesy dia nanainga ny tànany ka nikapoka ny vatolampy indroa tamin’ ny tehiny; dia niboiboika be dia be ny rano, ka nisotro avokoa ny fiangonana sy ny biby fiompiny.
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.
Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy sy Arona hoe: Satria tsy nino Ahy ianareo hanamasina Ahy eo imason’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, dia tsy hitondra izao fiangonana izao ho any amin’ ny tany izay nomeko azy ianareo.
13 This is the Water of contradiction, where the children of Israel strove with words against the Lord, and he was sanctified in them.
Ity no ranon’ i Meriba, izay nilan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely ady tamin’ i Jehovah, ka nisehoan’ i Jehovah ho masìna tamin’ ny nataony taminy.
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:
Ary Mosesy dia naniraka olona avy tao Kadesy hankany amin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Edoma hanao hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Isiraely rahalahinao: Hianao mahalala ny fahoriana rehetra izay nanjo anay:
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.
dia ny nidinan’ ny razanay tany Egypta, sy ny nitoeranay ela tany; ary nampahory anay sy ny razanay ny Egyptiana;
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,
ary raha nitaraina tamin’ i Jehovah izahay, dia nihaino ny feonay Izy ka naniraka Anjely sy nitondra anay nivoaka avy tany Egypta; ary, indreto, tonga eto Kadesy, tanàna eto amin’ ny faritry ny taninao, izahay;
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.
koa aoka mba handeha hamaky ny taninao izahay; fa tsy handeha hamaky ny saha sy ny tanim-boaloboka, na hisotro ny rano amin’ ny lavaka fantsakana akory: ny lalan’ andriana ihany no halehanay, fa tsy hania izahay na ho amin’ ny ankavanana na ho amin’ ny ankavia mandra-pahafakay ny faritry ny taninao.
18 And Edom answered them: Thou shalt not pass by me: if thou dost I will come out armed against thee.
Fa hoy ny Edomita taminy: Tsy mahazo mandeha mamaky ny taniko ianao, fandrao hivoaka hamely anao amin’ ny sabatra aho.
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.
Dia hoy ny Zanak’ Isiraely taminy: Ny lalam-be ihany no halehanay, fa raha hisotro ny ranonao izaho sy ny omby aman’ ondriko, dia hefaiko vola izany; fa tsy hanao na inona na inona aho, fa handalo fotsiny ihany.
20 But he answered: Thou shalt not pass. And immediately he came forth to meet them with an infinite multitude, and a strong hand,
Fa hoy izy: Tsy mahazo mandalo atỳ ianao. Ary nivoaka hisakana azy ny Edomita nitondra vahoaka betsaka sady nanao tàna-mahery.
21 Neither would he condescend to their desire to grant them passage through his borders. Wherefore Israel turned another way from him.
Toy izany no nandavan’ ny Edomita ka tsy namela ny Isiraely hamaky ny taniny, ka dia nivily niala taminy ny Zanak’ Isiraely.
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:
Ary nifindra ny Zanak’ Isiraely, dia ny fiangonana rehetra, ka niala tany Kadesy ary tonga tao an-tendrombohitra Hora.
23 Where the Lord spoke to Moses:
Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy sy Arona tao an-tendrombohitra Hora, tao amin’ ny fari-tanin’ i Edoma, ka nanao hoe:
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.
Arona hangonina any amin’ ny razany; fa tsy hiditra any amin’ ny tany izay nomeko ny Zanak’ Isiraely izy, satria nandà ny teniko teo amin’ ny ranon’ i Meriba ianareo.
25 Take Aaron and his son with him, and bring them up into mount Hor:
Alao Arona sy Eleazara zanany, ka ento miakatra ao an-tendrombohitra Hora izy mianaka;
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.
dia esory ny fitafian’ i Arona, ka atafio an’ i Eleazara zanany; ary Arona hangonina any amin’ ny razany ka ho faty ao.
27 Moses did as the Lord had commanded: and they went up into mount Hor before all the multitude.
Ary Mosesy nanao araka izay nandidian’ i Jehovah; dia niakatra tao an-tendrombohitra Hora teo imason’ ny fiangonana rehetra izy telo mianaka.
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.
Dia nesorin’ i Mosesy ny fitafian’ i Arona ka natafiny an’ i Eleazara zanany; ary maty tao an-tampon’ ny tendrombohitra Arona; dia nidina avy tao an-tendrombohitra Mosesy sy Eleazara.
29 And all the multitude seeing that Aaron was dead, mourned for him thirty days throughout all their families.
Koa nony hitan’ ny fiangonana rehetra fa maty Arona, dia nisaona azy telo-polo andro izy, dia ny taranak’ Isiraely rehetra.
