< 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.
Kemudian sampailah orang Israel, yakni segenap umat itu, ke padang gurun Zin, dalam bulan pertama, lalu tinggallah bangsa itu di Kadesh. Matilah Miryam di situ dan dikuburkan di situ.
2 And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.
Pada suatu kali, ketika tidak ada air bagi umat itu, berkumpullah mereka mengerumuni Musa dan Harun,
3 And the people chode with Moses, and spake, saying, Would God that we had died when our brethren died before the LORD!
dan bertengkarlah bangsa itu dengan Musa, katanya: "Sekiranya kami mati binasa pada waktu saudara-saudara kami mati binasa di hadapan TUHAN!
4 And why have ye brought up the congregation of the LORD into this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there?
Mengapa kamu membawa jemaah TUHAN ke padang gurun ini, supaya kami dan ternak kami mati di situ?
5 And wherefore have ye 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.
Mengapa kamu memimpin kami keluar dari Mesir, untuk membawa kami ke tempat celaka ini, yang bukan tempat menabur, tanpa pohon ara, anggur dan delima, bahkan air minumpun tidak ada?"
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.
Maka pergilah Musa dan Harun dari umat itu ke pintu Kemah Pertemuan, lalu sujud. Kemudian tampaklah kemuliaan TUHAN kepada mereka.
7 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
TUHAN berfirman kepada Musa:
8 Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink.
"Ambillah tongkatmu itu dan engkau dan Harun, kakakmu, harus menyuruh umat itu berkumpul; katakanlah di depan mata mereka kepada bukit batu itu supaya diberi airnya; demikianlah engkau mengeluarkan air dari bukit batu itu bagi mereka dan memberi minum umat itu serta ternaknya."
9 And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him.
Lalu Musa mengambil tongkat itu dari hadapan TUHAN, seperti yang diperintahkan-Nya kepadanya.
10 And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?
Ketika Musa dan Harun telah mengumpulkan jemaah itu di depan bukit batu itu, berkatalah ia kepada mereka: "Dengarlah kepadaku, hai orang-orang durhaka, apakah kami harus mengeluarkan air bagimu dari bukit batu ini?"
11 And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts [also].
Sesudah itu Musa mengangkat tangannya, lalu memukul bukit batu itu dengan tongkatnya dua kali, maka keluarlah banyak air, sehingga umat itu dan ternak mereka dapat minum.
12 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.
Tetapi TUHAN berfirman kepada Musa dan Harun: "Karena kamu tidak percaya kepada-Ku dan tidak menghormati kekudusan-Ku di depan mata orang Israel, itulah sebabnya kamu tidak akan membawa jemaah ini masuk ke negeri yang akan Kuberikan kepada mereka."
13 This [ is] the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them.
Itulah mata air Meriba, tempat orang Israel bertengkar dengan TUHAN dan Ia menunjukkan kekudusan-Nya di antara mereka.
14 And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom, Thus saith thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the travail that hath befallen us:
Kemudian Musa mengirim utusan dari Kadesh kepada raja Edom dengan pesan: "Beginilah perkataan saudaramu Israel: Engkau tahu segala kesusahan yang telah menimpa kami,
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:
bahwa nenek moyang kami pergi ke Mesir, dan kami lama diam di Mesir dan kami dan nenek moyang kami diperlakukan dengan jahat oleh orang Mesir;
16 And when we cried unto the LORD, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and hath brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold, we [are] in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border:
bahwa kami berteriak kepada TUHAN, dan Ia mendengarkan suara kami, mengutus seorang malaikat dan menuntun kami keluar dari Mesir. Sekarang ini kami ada di Kadesh, sebuah kota di tepi perbatasanmu.
17 Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy 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 thy borders.
Izinkanlah kiranya kami melalui negerimu; kami tidak akan berjalan melalui ladang-ladang dan kebun-kebun anggurmu dan kami tidak akan minum air sumurmu; jalan besar saja akan kami jalani dengan tidak menyimpang ke kanan atau ke kiri, sampai kami melalui batas daerahmu."
18 And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword.
Tetapi orang Edom berkata kepada mereka: "Tidak boleh kamu melalui daerah kami, nanti kami keluar menjumpai kamu dengan pedang!"
19 And the children of Israel said unto him, We will go by the high way: and if I and my cattle drink of thy water, then I will pay for it: I will only, without [doing] any thing [else], go through on my feet.
Lalu berkatalah orang Israel kepadanya: "Kami akan berjalan melalui jalan raya, dan jika kami dan ternak kami minum airmu, maka kami akan membayar uangnya, asal kami diizinkan lalu dengan berjalan kaki, hanya itu saja."
20 And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand.
Tetapi jawab mereka: "Tidak boleh kamu lalu." Maka keluarlah orang Edom menghadapi mereka dengan banyak rakyatnya dan dengan tentara yang kuat.
21 Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border: wherefore Israel turned away from him.
Ketika orang Edom tidak mau mengizinkan orang Israel lalu dari daerahnya, maka orang Israel menyimpang meninggalkannya.
22 And the children of Israel, [even] the whole congregation, journeyed from Kadesh, and came unto mount Hor.
Setelah mereka berangkat dari Kadesh, sampailah segenap umat Israel ke gunung Hor.
23 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the coast of the land of Edom, saying,
Lalu berkatalah TUHAN kepada Musa dan Harun dekat gunung Hor, di perbatasan tanah Edom:
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 ye rebelled against my word at the water of Meribah.
"Harun akan dikumpulkan kepada kaum leluhurnya, sebab ia tidak akan masuk ke negeri yang Kuberikan kepada orang Israel, karena kamu berdua telah mendurhaka kepada titah-Ku dekat mata air Meriba.
25 Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto mount Hor:
Panggillah Harun dan Eleazar, anaknya, dan bawalah mereka naik ke gunung Hor;
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.
tanggalkanlah pakaian Harun dan kenakanlah itu kepada Eleazar, anaknya, kemudian Harun akan dikumpulkan kepada kaum leluhurnya dan mati di sana."
27 And Moses did as the LORD commanded: and they went up into mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.
Lalu Musa melakukan seperti yang diperintahkan TUHAN. Mereka naik ke gunung Hor sedang segenap umat itu memandangnya.
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 menanggalkan pakaian Harun dan mengenakannya kepada Eleazar, anaknya. Lalu matilah Harun di puncak gunung itu, kemudian Musa dengan Eleazar turun dari gunung itu.
29 And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they mourned for Aaron thirty days, [even] all the house of Israel.
Ketika segenap umat itu melihat, bahwa Harun telah mati, maka seluruh orang Israel menangisi Harun tiga puluh hari lamanya.
