< Numbers 20 >

1 And the sons of Israel, all the congregation, come [into] the wilderness of Zin in the first month, and the people abide in Kadesh; and Miriam dies there and is 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 has been no water for the congregation, and they are assembled 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 strive with Moses and speak, saying, “And oh that we had expired when our brothers expired before YHWH!
Makĩnegenia Musa, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Naarĩ korwo nĩtwakuire rĩrĩa ariũ a ithe witũ maakuire marĩ mbere ya Jehova!
4 And why have you brought in the assembly of YHWH to this wilderness to die there, we and our beasts?
Nĩ kĩĩ gĩatũmire mũrehe kĩrĩndĩ kĩa Jehova werũ-inĩ ũyũ, nĩguo ithuĩ na mahiũ maitũ tũkuĩre gũkũ?
5 And why have you brought us up out of Egypt to bring us to this evil place? [It is] not a place of seed, and fig, and vine, and pomegranate; and there is no 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 go in from the presence of the assembly to the opening of the Tent of Meeting and fall on their faces, and the glory of YHWH is seen by 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 YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
8 “Take the rod and assemble the congregation—you and your brother Aaron—and you have spoken to the rock before their eyes, and it has given its water, and you have brought out water to them from the rock, and have watered the congregation and their beasts.”
“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 takes the rod from before YHWH as He has commanded him,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa akĩoya rũthanju akĩrũruta hau mbere ya Jehova, o ta ũrĩa Jehova aamwathĩte.
10 and Moses and Aaron assemble the assembly to the front of the rock, and he says to them, “Now hear, O rebels, do we bring out water to you from 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 lifts up his hand and strikes the rock with his rod twice; and much water comes out, and the congregation drinks, and their beasts [drink].
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 YHWH says to Moses and to Aaron, “Because you have not believed in Me to sanctify Me before the eyes of the sons of Israel, therefore you do not bring in this assembly to the land which I have given to 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 These [are] the waters of Meribah, because the sons of Israel have “striven” with YHWH, and He is sanctified among 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 sends messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, “Thus said your brother Israel: You have known all the travail which has found 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 that our fathers go down to Egypt, and we dwell in Egypt [for] many days, and the Egyptians do evil to us and to 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 then we cry to YHWH, and He hears our voice, and sends a Messenger, and is bringing us out of Egypt; and behold, we [are] in Kadesh, a city [in] the extremity 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 Please let us pass over through your land; we do not pass over through a field or through a vineyard, nor do we drink waters of a well; we go the way of the king, we do not turn aside [to] the right or left until we pass over your border.”
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 says to him, “You do not pass over through me, lest I come out to meet you with the sword.”
No Edomu akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ: “Ndũgũtuĩkanĩria gũkũ; na ũngĩgeria-rĩ, tũkuumagara tũmũtharĩkĩre na rũhiũ rwa njora.”
19 And the sons of Israel say to him, “We go in the highway, and if we drink of your waters—I and my livestock—then I have given their price; only, let me pass over on my feet, nothing [more].”
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 says, “You do not pass over”; and Edom comes out to meet him with many 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 and Edom refuses to permit Israel to pass over through his border, and Israel turns aside from off him.
Tondũ Edomu ndaametĩkĩririe matuĩkanĩrie bũrũri wao-rĩ, andũ a Isiraeli makĩhũndũka, magĩtigana nao.
22 And the sons of Israel, all the congregation, journey from Kadesh and come to Mount Hor,
Kĩrĩndĩ gĩothe kĩa andũ a Isiraeli gĩkiuma kũu Kadeshi na magĩkinya Kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Horu.
23 and YHWH speaks to Moses and to Aaron in Mount Hor, on the border 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 is gathered to his people, for he does not go into the land which I have given to the sons of Israel, because that you provoked My mouth at the waters 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 his son Eleazar, and cause them to go up Mount Hor,
Oya Harũni na mũriũ Eleazaru, ũmatware Kĩrĩma-igũrũ kĩa Horu.
26 and strip Aaron of his garments, and you have clothed his son Eleazar [with] them, and Aaron is gathered, and dies there.”
Ũrute Harũni nguo ciake, ũcihumbe mũriũ Eleazaru, nĩ ũndũ Harũni nĩegũkua, na egũkuĩra o ro kũu.”
27 And Moses does as YHWH has commanded, and they go up to Mount Hor before the eyes of all the congregation,
Musa agĩĩka o ta ũrĩa Jehova aamwathĩte; makĩambata Kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Horu makĩonagwo nĩ kĩrĩndĩ kĩu gĩothe.
28 and Moses strips Aaron of his garments, and clothes his son Eleazar with them, and Aaron dies there on the top of the mountain; and Moses comes down—Eleazar also—from the mountain,
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 all the congregation sees that Aaron has expired, and all the house of Israel laments Aaron [for] thirty days.
na rĩrĩa kĩrĩndĩ kĩu kĩamenyire atĩ Harũni nĩakuĩte, andũ othe a nyũmba ya Isiraeli makĩmũcakaĩra mĩthenya mĩrongo ĩtatũ.
