Numbers 20
1 Then the children of Israel came with ye whole Congregation to the desert of Zin in the first moneth, and the people abode at Cadesh: where Miriam died, and was buried there.
Pa mwezi woyamba gulu lonse la Aisraeli linafika ku chipululu cha Zini, ndipo anakhala ku Kadesi. Miriamu anafera kumeneko ndipo anayikidwa mʼmanda.
2 But there was no water for the Congregation, and they assembled them selues against Moses and against Aaron.
Kunalibe madzi woti anthu onse ndi kumwa, choncho anthuwo anasonkhana motsutsana ndi Mose ndi Aaroni.
3 And the people chode with Moses, and spake, saying, Would God we had perished, when our brethren died before the Lord.
Anakangana ndi Mose kuti, “Kunali bwino ifenso tikanangofa pamene abale athu anafa pamaso pa Yehova!
4 Why haue ye thus brought the Congregation of the Lord vnto his wildernesse, that both we, and our cattell should die there?
Chifukwa chiyani unabweretsa gulu la Yehova mʼchipululu muno, kuti ife ndi ziweto zathu tife kuno?
5 Wherefore nowe haue yee made vs to come vp from Egypt, to bring vs into this miserable place, which is no place of seede, nor figges, nor vines, nor pomegranates? neither is there any water to drinke.
Nʼchifukwa chiyani unatitulutsa mʼdziko la Igupto ndi kutibweretsa kumalo woyipa ano? Kuno kulibe tirigu kapena nkhuyu, mphesa kapena makangadza. Ndipo kuno kulibenso madzi akumwa!”
6 Then Moses and Aaron went from the assemblie vnto the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and fell vpon their faces: and the glory of the Lord appeared vnto them.
Mose ndi Aaroni anachoka mu msonkhano ndi kupita pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano, nagwa pansi chafufumimba ndipo ulemerero wa Yehova unaonekera.
7 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Yehova anati kwa Mose,
8 Take the rod, and gather thou and thy brother Aaron the Congregation together, and speake yee vnto the rocke before their eyes, and it shall giue foorth his water, and thou shalt bring them water out of the rocke: so thou shalt giue the Congregation, and their beastes drinke.
“Tenga ndodo, ndipo iwe ndi mʼbale wako Aaroni musonkhanitse anthu onse pamodzi. Uyankhule ndi thanthwe ilo iwo akuona ndipo lidzatulutsa madzi ake. Udzatulutsa madzi mʼthanthwe limeneli kuti anthu onse ndi ziweto zawo amwe.”
9 Then Moses tooke the rod from before the Lord, as he had commanded him.
Choncho Mose anatenga ndodo pamaso pa Yehova monga momwe anamulamulira.
10 And Moses and Aaron gathered the Congregation together before the rocke, and Moses sayd vnto them, Heare nowe, ye rebels: shall we bring you water out of this rocke?
Mose ndi Aaroni anasonkhanitsa anthuwo pamodzi ku thanthwelo ndipo Mose anawawuza kuti, “Tamverani osamvera inu, kodi tikupatseni madzi kuchokera ku thanthwe ili?”
11 Then Moses lift vp his hande, and with his rod he smote the rocke twise, and the water came out aboundantly: so the Congregation, and their beastes dranke.
Choncho Mose anatukula dzanja lake ndi kumenya thanthwelo kawiri ndi ndodo yake ndipo madzi ambiri anatuluka mwamphamvu, ndipo anthu ndi ziweto zawo anamwa.
12 Againe the Lord spake vnto Moses, and to Aaron, Because ye beleeued me not, to sanctifie mee in the presence of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this Congregation into the land which I haue giuen them.
Koma Yehova anati kwa Mose ndi Aaroni, “Chifukwa chakuti simunandikhulupirire ndiponso simunandilemekeze monga Woyera pamaso pa Aisraeli, simudzalowetsa anthuwa mʼdziko limene ndikupereka kwa iwo.”
13 This is the water of Meribah, because the children of Israel stroue with the Lord, and hee was sanctified in them.
Awa anali madzi a ku Meriba, kumene Aisraeli anakangana ndi Yehova ndiponso kumene Yehovayo anadzionetsa yekha kuti ndi Woyera pakati pawo.
14 Then Moses sent messengers from Kadesh vnto the king of Edom, saying, Thus sayth thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the trauaile that we haue had,
Mose anatumiza amithenga kuchokera ku Kadesi kupita kwa mfumu ya ku Edomu, kukanena kuti, “Mʼbale wako Israeli akunena izi: Inuyo mukudziwa za mavuto onse amene anatigwera.
15 How our fathers went downe into Egypt, and we dwelt in Egypt a long time, where the Egyptians handled vs euill and our fathers.
Makolo athu anapita ku Igupto ndipo tinakhala kumeneko zaka zambiri. Aigupto anatizunza pamodzi ndi makolo athuwo,
16 But when we cried vnto the Lord, he heard our voyce, and sent an Angel, and hath brought vs out of Egypt, and beholde, wee are in the citie Kadesh, in thine vtmost border.
koma titalirira Yehova, Iyeyo anamva kulira kwathuko ndipo anatitumizira mngelo amene anatitulutsa ku Igupto.” “Taonani, tsopano tili pano pa Kadesi, mzinda wa mʼmalire a dziko lanu.
17 I pray thee that we may passe through thy countrey: we will not goe through the fieldes nor the vineyardes, neither will we drinke of the water of the welles: we will goe by the kings way, and neither turne vnto the right hand nor to the left, vntill we be past thy borders.
Chonde mutilole tidutse mʼdziko lanu. Sitidzera mʼminda yanu kapena mu mpesa wanu, kapenanso kumwa madzi mʼchitsime chilichonse. Tidzayenda kutsata msewu waukulu wa mfumu ndipo sitidzapatukira ku dzanja lamanja kapena lamanzere mpaka titadutsa malire a dziko lanu.”
18 And Edom answered him, Thou shalt not passe by mee, least I come out against thee with the sword.
Koma Edomu anayankha kuti, “Musadutse kuno: Mukangoyesera tidzabwera ndi kumenyana nanu ndi lupanga.”
19 Then the children of Israel said vnto him, We will goe vp by the hie way: and if I and my cattell drinke of thy water, I will then pay for it: I will onely (without any harme) goe through on my feete.
Aisraeli anayankha kuti, “Tidzayenda motsata msewu waukulu. Ndipo ngati ife kapena ziweto zathu tidzamwa madzi anu tidzalipira. Tikungofuna tidutse nawo, palibenso china.”
20 Hee answered againe, Thou shalt not goe through. The Edom came out against him with much people, and with a mightie power.
Koma Edomu anayankhanso kuti, “Musadutse.” Kenaka Edomu anatuluka ndi gulu lankhondo lalikulu komanso lamphamvu.
21 Thus Edom denyed to giue Israel passage through his countrey: wherefore Israel turned away from him.
Edomu anakaniza Israeli kuti adutse mʼdziko lake, choncho Israeli anabwerera.
22 And when the children of Israel with al the Congregation departed from Kadesh, they came vnto the mount Hor.
Gulu lonse la Aisraeli linachoka ku Kadesi ndipo linafika ku phiri la Hori.
23 And the Lord spake vnto Moses and to Aaron in the mount Hor neere the coast of the land of Edom, saying,
Ali pa phiri la Hori, pafupi ndi malire a Edomu, Yehova anati kwa Mose ndi Aaroni,
24 Aaron shall be gathered vnto his people: for hee shall not enter into the lande, which I haue giuen vnto the children of Israel, because ye disobeyed my commandement at the water of Meribah.
“Aaroni adzakakhala ndi anthu a mtundu wake, sadzalowa mʼdziko limene ndapereka kwa Aisraeli, chifukwa nonse munandiwukira motsutsana ndi malamulo anga ku madzi a ku Meriba.
25 Take Aaron and Eleazar his sonne, and bring them vp into the mount Hor,
Tenga Aaroni ndi mwana wake wamwamuna Eliezara ndipo ukwere nawo ku phiri la Hori.
26 And cause Aaron to put off his garmentes and put them vpon Eleazar his sonne: for Aaron shall be gathered to his fathers, and shall die there.
Uvule Aaroni zovala zake ndipo umuveke mwana wake Eliezara, pakuti Aaroni adzafera komweko, ndipo adzakakhala ndi anthu a mtundu wake.”
27 And Moses did as the Lord had commanded: and they went vp into the mount Hor, in the sight of all the Congregation.
Mose anachita monga Yehova anamulamulira: Anapita ku phiri la Hori gulu lonse likuona.
28 And Moses put off Aarons clothes, and put them vpon Eleazar his sonne: so Aaron dyed there in the top of the mount: and Moses and Eleazar came downe from off the mount.
Pamenepo Mose anavula Aaroni zovala zake ndi kuveka mwana wake Eliezara. Aaroni anafa kumeneko pamwamba pa phirilo. Koma Mose ndi Eliezara anatsika ku phiriko,
29 When al the Congregation sawe that Aaron was dead, al the house of Israel wept for Aaron thirtie dayes.
ndipo pamene anthu onse anamva kuti Aaroni wafa, nyumba yonse ya Israeli inamulira Aaroniyo masiku makumi atatu.
