Numbers 20
1 It was during the first month of the year that all the Israelites arrived in the Desert of Zin and set up camp in Kadesh. (This was where Miriam died and was buried.)
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 However, there was no water there for anyone to drink, so the people gathered to confront Moses and Aaron.
Ary tsy nisy rano ho an’ ny fiangonana, ka dia niangona izy hiodina amin’ i Mosesy sy Arona.
3 They argued with Moses, saying, “If only we'd died with our relatives in the Lord's presence!
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 the Lord's people into this desert just so we and our livestock can die here?
Fa nahoana no nitondra ny fiangonan’ i Jehovah ho amin’ ity efitra ity ianareo, mba hahafaty anay sy ny ombinay eto?
5 Why did you lead us out of Egypt to come to this awful place? Nothing grows here—no grain or figs or vines or pomegranates. And there's no 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 Moses and Aaron left the people and went to entrance of the Tent of Meeting. There they fell facedown on the ground, and the glory of the Lord appeared to 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 The Lord told Moses,
Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
8 “Take the walking stick and have the people gather around you. As they watch, you and your brother Aaron will order the rock and it will pour out water. You will bring water from the rock so the people and their livestock can 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 picked up the walking stick that was kept in the Lord's presence, as he had been ordered.
Dia nalain’ i Mosesy ny tehina avy teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah, araka izay nandidiany azy.
10 Moses and Aaron had everyone gather in front of the rock. Moses said to them, “Listen, you bunch of rebels! Do we have to bring water out of this rock for you?”
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 Then Moses picked up the walking stick and hit the rock twice. Streams of water gushed out so that the people and their livestock could drink.
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 But the Lord told Moses and Aaron, “Because you didn't trust me enough to demonstrate how holy I am to the Israelites, you will not be the ones to lead them into the country I've given 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 The place where the Israelites argued with the Lord was called the waters of Meribah, and was where he revealed his holiness to 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 Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, telling him, “This is what your brother Israel says. You know all about the difficulties we've faced.
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 Our forefathers went to Egypt and we lived there for a long time. The Egyptians treated us and our forefathers badly,
dia ny nidinan’ ny razanay tany Egypta, sy ny nitoeranay ela tany; ary nampahory anay sy ny razanay ny Egyptiana;
16 so we called out to the Lord for help, and he heard our cries. He sent an angel and led us out of Egypt. Listen, now we are in Kadesh, a town on the border of your territory.
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 Please allow us to travel through your country. We won't cross any of your fields or vineyards, or drink water from any of your wells. We will stay on the King's Highway; we won't turn off either to the right or to the left until we have passed through your country.”
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 But the king of Edom replied, “You are forbidden to travel through our country, otherwise we will come out and stop you by force.”
Fa hoy ny Edomita taminy: Tsy mahazo mandeha mamaky ny taniko ianao, fandrao hivoaka hamely anao amin’ ny sabatra aho.
19 “We'll keep to the main road,” the Israelites persisted. “If we or our livestock drink your water, we'll pay you for it. That's all we want—just to pass through on foot.”
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 the king of Edom insisted, “You are forbidden to travel through our country!” He came out with his large and powerful army to meet the Israelites head-on.
Fa hoy izy: Tsy mahazo mandalo atỳ ianao. Ary nivoaka hisakana azy ny Edomita nitondra vahoaka betsaka sady nanao tàna-mahery.
21 Since the king of Edom refused to allow Israel to travel through his territory, the Israelites had to turn back.
Toy izany no nandavan’ ny Edomita ka tsy namela ny Isiraely hamaky ny taniny, ka dia nivily niala taminy ny Zanak’ Isiraely.
22 The Israelites all left Kadesh and traveled to Mount Hor.
Ary nifindra ny Zanak’ Isiraely, dia ny fiangonana rehetra, ka niala tany Kadesy ary tonga tao an-tendrombohitra Hora.
23 At Mount Hor, near the border with the country of Edom, the Lord told Moses and Aaron,
Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy sy Arona tao an-tendrombohitra Hora, tao amin’ ny fari-tanin’ i Edoma, ka nanao hoe:
24 “Aaron will shortly join his forefathers in death. He will not enter the country I have given the Israelites, because you both disobeyed my command at the waters of Meribah.
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 Have Aaron and his son Eleazar join you and climb up Mount Hor together.
Alao Arona sy Eleazara zanany, ka ento miakatra ao an-tendrombohitra Hora izy mianaka;
26 Take off Aaron's priestly clothes and put them on his son Eleazar. Aaron is going to die there and join his forefathers in death.”
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 ordered: They climbed up Mount Hor in full view of all the Israelites.
Ary Mosesy nanao araka izay nandidian’ i Jehovah; dia niakatra tao an-tendrombohitra Hora teo imason’ ny fiangonana rehetra izy telo mianaka.
28 Moses removed the priestly clothes that Aaron was wearing and put them on Aaron's son Eleazar. Aaron died there, on the top of the mountain. Then Moses and Eleazar went back down.
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 When the people realized that Aaron had died, they all mourned for him for thirty days.
Koa nony hitan’ ny fiangonana rehetra fa maty Arona, dia nisaona azy telo-polo andro izy, dia ny taranak’ Isiraely rehetra.
