< Numbers 20 >
1 Then came the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, into the desert of Zin in the first month: and the people abode in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there.
Na rĩrĩ, mweri wa mbere, kĩrĩndĩ gĩothe kĩa andũ a Isiraeli gĩgĩkinya kũu Werũ-inĩ wa Zini, na gĩgĩikara Kadeshi. Nake Miriamu agĩkuĩra kũu na agĩthikwo o ro kuo.
2 And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.
Na rĩrĩ, handũ hau hatiarĩ maaĩ ma kũnyuuo nĩ kĩrĩndĩ, nao andũ acio makĩũngana, magĩũkĩrĩra Musa na Harũni.
3 And the people find fault with Moses, and spoke, saying, Would God that we had died when our brethren died before the LORD!
Makĩnegenia Musa, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Naarĩ korwo nĩtwakuire rĩrĩa ariũ a ithe witũ maakuire marĩ mbere ya Jehova!
4 And why have all of you brought up the congregation of the LORD into this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there?
Nĩ kĩĩ gĩatũmire mũrehe kĩrĩndĩ kĩa Jehova werũ-inĩ ũyũ, nĩguo ithuĩ na mahiũ maitũ tũkuĩre gũkũ?
5 And wherefore have all of you made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in unto this evil place? it is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither is there any water to drink.
Mwatũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri nĩkĩ, mũgĩtũrehe kũndũ gũkũ kũũru ũũ? Gũkũ gũtirĩ ngano kana ngũyũ, kana thabibũ, kana makomamanga. O na gũtirĩ maaĩ ma kũnyua!”
6 And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon their faces: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto them.
Musa na Harũni makiuma hau kĩungano kĩarĩ, magĩthiĩ nginya o itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo makĩĩgũithia na magĩturumithia mothiũ mao thĩ, naguo riiri wa Jehova ũkĩmoimĩrĩra.
7 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
8 Take the rod, and gather you the assembly together, you, and Aaron your brother, and speak all of you unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and you shall bring forth to them water out of the rock: so you shall give the congregation and their beasts drink.
“Oya rũthanju rwaku, nawe na mũrũ wa nyũkwa Harũni mũcokanĩrĩrie kĩrĩndĩ kĩu hamwe. Arĩria rwaro rũrũ rwa ihiga makwĩroreire, na nĩrũkuuma maaĩ. Nawe ũrutĩre kĩrĩndĩ maaĩ rwaro-inĩ rũrũ rwa ihiga, nĩgeetha kĩnyue hamwe na mahiũ ma kĩo.”
9 And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa akĩoya rũthanju akĩrũruta hau mbere ya Jehova, o ta ũrĩa Jehova aamwathĩte.
10 And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, all of you rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?
Nake Musa na Harũni magĩcokanĩrĩria kĩrĩndĩ kĩu hamwe hau mbere ya rwaro rwa ihiga, na Musa akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ta thikĩrĩriai, inyuĩ aremi aya, no nginya tũmũrutĩre maaĩ kuuma rwaro-inĩ rũrũ rwa ihiga?”
11 And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he stroke the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also.
Musa agĩcooka akĩoya guoko gwake na igũrũ, akĩgũtha rwaro rũu rwa ihiga na rũthanju rwake maita meerĩ. Maaĩ makĩbororoka, nakĩo kĩrĩndĩ kĩu gĩkĩnyua, o na mahiũ makĩo makĩnyua.
12 And the LORD spoke unto Moses and Aaron, Because all of you believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore all of you shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.
No Jehova akĩĩra Musa na Harũni atĩrĩ, “Tondũ mũtinanjĩtĩkia nĩguo muonanie atĩ niĩ ndĩ mũtheru, mũtũme heo gĩtĩĩo maitho-inĩ ma andũ a Isiraeli, inyuĩ mũtigaakinyia kĩrĩndĩ gĩkĩ bũrũri ũrĩa ndĩmaheete.”
13 This is the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them.
Macio nĩmo maarĩ maaĩ ma Meriba, kũrĩa andũ a Isiraeli maatetanirie na Jehova na kũrĩa eyonanirie atĩ nĩ mũtheru thĩinĩ wao.
14 And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom, Thus says your brother Israel, You know all the travail that has befallen us:
Musa agĩtũma andũ kuuma Kadeshi mathiĩ kũrĩ mũthamaki wa Edomu, makamwĩre atĩrĩ: “Mũrũ wa nyũkwa Isiraeli oiga atĩrĩ: Wee nĩũũĩ mathĩĩna marĩa mothe tũkoretwo namo.
15 How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have dwelt in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians vexed us, and our fathers:
Maithe maitũ ma tene nĩmaikũrũkire magĩthiĩ bũrũri wa Misiri, na ithuĩ tũgĩtũũra kuo mĩaka mĩingĩ. Andũ a Misiri nĩmatũhiinyĩrĩirie mũno ithuĩ ene o na maithe maitũ,
16 And when we cried unto the LORD, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and has brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of your border:
no rĩrĩa twakaĩire Jehova-rĩ, nĩaiguire kĩrĩro giitũ nake agĩtũma mũraika agĩtũruta kũu bũrũri wa Misiri. “Na rĩu tũrĩ gũkũ Kadeshi, itũũra rĩrĩa rĩ mũthia-inĩ wa bũrũri waku.
17 Let us pass, I pray you, through your country: we will not pass through the fields, or through the vineyards, neither will we drink of the water of the wells: we will go by the king's high way, we will not turn to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed your borders.
Ndagũthaitha ũtwĩtĩkĩrie tũtuĩkanĩrie bũrũri waku. Tũtikũgerera mĩgũnda-inĩ ya irio, kana ya mĩthabibũ, kana tũnyue maaĩ ma gĩthima o na kĩmwe. Tũkũgerera njĩra ĩrĩa nene ya mũthamaki, na tũtigũkerũra na mwena wa ũrĩo o na kana wa ũmotho, o nginya tũtuĩkanie bũrũri waku.”
18 And Edom said unto him, You shall not pass by me, lest I come out against you with the sword.
No Edomu akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ: “Ndũgũtuĩkanĩria gũkũ; na ũngĩgeria-rĩ, tũkuumagara tũmũtharĩkĩre na rũhiũ rwa njora.”
19 And the children of Israel said unto him, We will go by the high way: and if I and my cattle drink of your water, then I will pay for it: I will only, without doing anything else, go through on my feet.
Andũ a Isiraeli acio makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ tũkũgerera o njĩra ĩrĩa nene, na ithuĩ ene kana mahiũ maitũ tũngĩnyua maaĩ manyu-rĩ, nĩtũkũrĩha. Tũrenda o tũtuĩkanie tũthiĩte na magũrũ tu hatarĩ ũndũ ũngĩ.”
20 And he said, You shall not go through. And Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand.
Ningĩ Edomu agĩcookia atĩrĩ: “Aca, mũtigũtuĩkanĩria gũkũ.” Hĩndĩ ĩyo Edomu akiumagara akamatharĩkĩre, arĩ mbũtũ nene ĩna hinya mũingĩ.
21 Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border: wherefore Israel turned away from him.
Tondũ Edomu ndaametĩkĩririe matuĩkanĩrie bũrũri wao-rĩ, andũ a Isiraeli makĩhũndũka, magĩtigana nao.
22 And the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, journeyed from Kadesh, and came unto mount Hor.
Kĩrĩndĩ gĩothe kĩa andũ a Isiraeli gĩkiuma kũu Kadeshi na magĩkinya Kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Horu.
23 And the LORD spoke unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the coast of the land of Edom, saying,
Marĩ kũu Kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Horu, hakuhĩ na mũhaka wa Edomu, Jehova akĩĩra Musa na Harũni atĩrĩ,
24 Aaron shall be gathered unto his people: for he shall not enter into the land which I have given unto the children of Israel, because all of you rebelled against my word at the water of Meribah.
“Rĩu Harũni nĩegũkua. Ndegũtoonya bũrũri ũrĩa ngũhe andũ a Isiraeli, nĩ ũndũ inyuĩ eerĩ nĩmwaremeire watho wakwa kũu maaĩ-inĩ ma Meriba.
25 Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto mount Hor:
Oya Harũni na mũriũ Eleazaru, ũmatware Kĩrĩma-igũrũ kĩa Horu.
26 And strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son: and Aaron shall be gathered unto his people, and shall die there.
Ũrute Harũni nguo ciake, ũcihumbe mũriũ Eleazaru, nĩ ũndũ Harũni nĩegũkua, na egũkuĩra o ro kũu.”
27 And Moses did as the LORD commanded: and they went up into mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.
Musa agĩĩka o ta ũrĩa Jehova aamwathĩte; makĩambata Kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Horu makĩonagwo nĩ kĩrĩndĩ kĩu gĩothe.
28 And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there in the top of the mount: and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mount.
Musa akĩruta Harũni nguo ciake, agĩcihumba mũriũ Eleazaru. Nake Harũni agĩkuĩra kũu kĩrĩma igũrũ. Nake Musa na Eleazaru magĩikũrũka makiuma kũu kĩrĩma igũrũ,
29 And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they mourned for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.
na rĩrĩa kĩrĩndĩ kĩu kĩamenyire atĩ Harũni nĩakuĩte, andũ othe a nyũmba ya Isiraeli makĩmũcakaĩra mĩthenya mĩrongo ĩtatũ.
