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.
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻio, ʻae kakai kotoa pē, ki he toafa ʻo Sini ʻi he ʻuluaki māhina: pea naʻe nofo ʻae kakai ʻi Ketesi; pea naʻe pekia ʻi ai ʻa Miliame, pea naʻe tanu ia ʻi ai.
2 And there has been no water for the congregation, and they are assembled against Moses and against Aaron,
Pea naʻe ʻikai ha vai ki he kakai pea naʻa nau fakataha fakaangatuʻu kia Mōsese pea mo ʻElone.
3 and the people strive with Moses and speak, saying, “And oh that we had expired when our brothers expired before YHWH!
Pea naʻe lāunga ʻae kakai kia Mōsese, ʻonau lea pehē, “ʻAmusiaange ʻekimautolu ki he ʻOtua naʻa mau mate fakataha mo homau kāinga naʻe mate ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova!
4 And why have you brought in the assembly of YHWH to this wilderness to die there, we and our beasts?
Pea ko e hā kuo mo ʻomi ai ʻae kakai ʻa Sihova ki he toafa ni ke mau mate ʻi heni mo ʻemau fanga manu?
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.”
Pea ko e hā kuo mo ʻomi ai ʻakimautolu mei ʻIsipite, ke ʻomi ʻakimautolu ki he potu kovi ni? ʻOku ʻikai ha tenga ʻi he potu ni, pe ha fiki, pe ha vaine, pe ha pomikanite; pea ʻoku ʻikai ha vai ʻi ai ke mau inu.”
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.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Mōsese mo ʻElone ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fakataha ki he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, pea naʻa na tō ki hona mata, pea naʻe hā mai ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova kiate kinaua.
7 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
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.”
“Ke ke toʻo ʻae tokotoko, pea tānaki ʻae kakai kenau fakataha, ʻa koe mo ʻElone ko ho taʻokete, pea mo lea ki he maka ʻi honau ʻao, pea ʻe foaki mai ʻe ia ʻa hono vai, pea te ke ʻomi ʻae vai mei he maka kiate kinautolu, pea te ke foaki pehē ʻae vai ki he kakai mo ʻenau fanga manu kenau inu.”
9 And Moses takes the rod from before YHWH as He has commanded him,
Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe Mōsese ʻae tokotoko mei he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻo hangē ko ʻene fekau kiate ia.
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?”
Pea naʻe fakataha ʻe Mōsese mo ʻElone ʻae kakai ki he ʻao ʻoe maka, pea naʻa ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Mou fanongo mai ʻae kau angatuʻu; ʻoku lelei ke ma ʻomi ʻae vai mei he maka ni kiate kimoutolu?”
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].
Pea naʻe hiki hake ʻe Mōsese ʻa hono nima, pea naʻa ne taaʻi ʻae maka ʻo liunga ua ʻaki ʻa hono tokotoko, pea naʻe hā mai ʻae vai ʻo lahi, pea naʻe inu ai ʻae kakai mo ʻenau fanga manu foki.
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.”
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese mo ʻElone, ʻo pehē, “Ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻomo taʻetui kiate au, ke fakaongolelei au ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ko ia ʻe ʻikai ai te mo ʻomi ʻae kakai ni ki he fonua, ʻaia kuo u foaki kiate kinautolu.”
13 These [are] the waters of Meribah, because the sons of Israel have “striven” with YHWH, and He is sanctified among them.
Ko e vai eni ʻo Melipa, koeʻuhi naʻe fakakē ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli kia Sihova, pea naʻe ongolelei ia ʻiate kinautolu.
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,
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese ʻae kau talafekau mei Ketesi ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻItomi, “ʻOku pehē ʻe ho tokoua ko ʻIsileli, Kuo ke ʻilo ʻe koe ʻae fononga kotoa pē kuo tō mai kiate kimautolu:
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;
Mo e ʻalu hifo ʻemau ngaahi tamai ki ʻIsipite, pea mo ʻemau nofo fuoloa ʻi ʻIsipite, pea naʻe fakafiuʻi ʻe he kakai ʻIsipite ʻakimautolu mo ʻemau ngaahi tamai.
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.
Pea ʻi heʻemau tangi kia Sihova naʻa ne ongoʻi ʻa homau leʻo, pea naʻa ne fekau ki heʻene ʻāngelo, pea kuo ne ʻomi ʻakimautolu mei ʻIsipite, pea ko eni, ʻoku mau ʻi Ketesi, ko e kolo ia ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he ngataʻanga moʻoni ʻo ho fonua.
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.”
ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, tuku ke mau ʻalu atu ʻi ho fonua: ʻe ʻikai te mau ʻalu atu ʻi he ngaahi ngoue, pe ʻi he ngaahi ngoue vaine, pea ʻe ʻikai te mau inu ʻae vai ʻoe ngaahi vai keli: te mau ʻalu ʻi he hala motuʻa ʻoe tuʻi, ʻe ʻikai te mau afe ki he nima toʻomataʻu pe ki he toʻohema, kaeʻoua ke tuku ki mui ʻae ngataʻanga ʻo ho fonua.”
18 And Edom says to him, “You do not pass over through me, lest I come out to meet you with the sword.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻItomi kiate ia, “ʻE ʻikai te ke ʻalu ofi kiate au, telia naʻaku ʻalu atu mo e heletā kiate koe.”
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].”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli kiate ia, “Te mau ʻalu ʻi he hala motuʻa, pea kapau te u inu ʻa ho vai pe [inu ]ʻe heʻeku fanga manu, te u totongi kiate koe: ʻe laka atu pe ʻa hoku vaʻe, ka ʻe ʻikai te u fai ha meʻa kehe.”
20 And he says, “You do not pass over”; and Edom comes out to meet him with many people and with a strong hand;
Pea naʻa ne pehē, “ʻE ʻikai ʻaupito te ke laka atu.” Pea naʻe haʻu kiate ia ʻa ʻItomi mo e kakai tokolahi, pea mo e nima mālohi.
21 and Edom refuses to permit Israel to pass over through his border, and Israel turns aside from off him.
Naʻe pehē ʻae taʻofi ʻe ʻItomi ʻae ʻalu ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi hono mata fonua: ko ia naʻe foki atu ai ʻa ʻIsileli meiate ia.
22 And the sons of Israel, all the congregation, journey from Kadesh and come to Mount Hor,
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻio, ʻae kakai kotoa pē, mei Ketesi, pea nau haʻu ki he moʻunga ko Hoa.
23 and YHWH speaks to Moses and to Aaron in Mount Hor, on the border of the land of Edom, saying,
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese mo ʻElone ʻi he moʻunga ko Hoa, ʻi he mata fonua ʻo ʻItomi, ʻo pehē,
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.
“ʻE tānaki ʻa ʻElone ki hono kakai koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai hoko ia ki he fonua ʻaia ne u foaki ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, he naʻa mo talangataʻa ki heʻeku lea ʻi he vai ʻo Melipa.
25 Take Aaron and his son Eleazar, and cause them to go up Mount Hor,
Ke ke ʻave ʻa ʻElone mo ʻEliesa ko hono foha, pea ʻomi ʻakinaua ki he moʻunga ko Hoa.
26 and strip Aaron of his garments, and you have clothed his son Eleazar [with] them, and Aaron is gathered, and dies there.”
Pea ke vete ʻae ngaahi kofu ʻo ʻElone, ʻo fakakofuʻaki ia ʻa ʻEliesa ko hono foha: pea ʻe tānaki ʻa ʻElone ki hono kakai, pea ʻe pekia ia ʻi ai.”
27 And Moses does as YHWH has commanded, and they go up to Mount Hor before the eyes of all the congregation,
Pea naʻe fai ʻe Mōsese ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova: pea naʻa nau ʻalu hake ki he moʻunga ko Hoa ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai kotoa pē.
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,
Pea naʻe vete ʻe Mōsese ʻae ngaahi kofu ʻo ʻElone, pea ne fakakofuʻaki ʻa ʻEliesa ko hono foha; pea naʻe pekia ʻa ʻElone ʻi he tumutumu ʻoe moʻunga: pea naʻe ʻalu hifo ʻa Mōsese mo ʻEliesa mei he moʻunga.
29 and all the congregation sees that Aaron has expired, and all the house of Israel laments Aaron [for] thirty days.
Pea ʻi he mamata ʻae kakai kotoa pē kuo pekia ʻa ʻElone, naʻa nau loto mamahi koeʻuhi ko ʻElone ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolungofulu, ʻio ʻae fale kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli.
