< Numbers 20 >
1 The children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came into the wilderness of Zin in the first month: and the people stayed 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 There was no water for the congregation: and they assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.
Pada suatu kali, ketika tidak ada air bagi umat itu, berkumpullah mereka mengerumuni Musa dan Harun,
3 The people strove with Moses, and spoke, saying, "We wish that we had died when our brothers died before Jehovah.
dan bertengkarlah bangsa itu dengan Musa, katanya: "Sekiranya kami mati binasa pada waktu saudara-saudara kami mati binasa di hadapan TUHAN!
4 Why have you brought the assembly of Jehovah into this wilderness, that we should die there, we and our animals?
Mengapa kamu membawa jemaah TUHAN ke padang gurun ini, supaya kami dan ternak kami mati di situ?
5 Why have you made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in to 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 Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and fell on their faces: and the glory of Jehovah appeared to them.
Maka pergilah Musa dan Harun dari umat itu ke pintu Kemah Pertemuan, lalu sujud. Kemudian tampaklah kemuliaan TUHAN kepada mereka.
7 Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
TUHAN berfirman kepada Musa:
8 "Take the rod, and assemble the congregation, you, and Aaron your brother, and speak to the rock before their eyes, that it give forth its water; and you shall bring forth to them water out of the rock; so you shall give the congregation and their livestock 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 Moses took the rod from before Jehovah, as he commanded him.
Lalu Musa mengambil tongkat itu dari hadapan TUHAN, seperti yang diperintahkan-Nya kepadanya.
10 Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock, and he said to them, "Hear now, you rebels; shall we bring you water out of this rock for you?"
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 Moses lifted up his hand, and struck the rock with his rod twice: and water came forth abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their livestock.
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 Jehovah said to Moses and Aaron, "Because you did not believe in me, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly 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 These are the waters of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with Jehovah, 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 Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, saying: "Thus says your brother Israel: You know all the travail that has happened to 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 lived in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians dealt ill with 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 to Jehovah, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and brought us forth out of Egypt: and look, we are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of your 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 "Please let us pass through your land: we will not pass through field or through vineyard, neither will we drink of the water of the wells: we will go along the king's highway; we will not turn aside to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed your border."
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 Edom said to him, "You shall not pass through me, lest I come out with the sword against you."
Tetapi orang Edom berkata kepada mereka: "Tidak boleh kamu melalui daerah kami, nanti kami keluar menjumpai kamu dengan pedang!"
19 The children of Israel said to him, "We will go up by the highway; and if we drink of your water, I and my livestock, then will I give its price: let me only, without doing anything else, pass 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 He said, "You shall not pass through." Edom came out against him with many 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, so Israel turned away from him.
Ketika orang Edom tidak mau mengizinkan orang Israel lalu dari daerahnya, maka orang Israel menyimpang meninggalkannya.
22 They traveled from Kadesh: and the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came to Mount Hor.
Setelah mereka berangkat dari Kadesh, sampailah segenap umat Israel ke gunung Hor.
23 Jehovah spoke to Moses and Aaron in Mount Hor, by the border 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 to his people; for he shall not enter into the land which I have given to the children of Israel, because you rebelled against my word at the waters 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 to Mount Hor;
Panggillah Harun dan Eleazar, anaknya, dan bawalah mereka naik ke gunung Hor;
26 and strip Aaron of his garments, and put them on Eleazar his son: and Aaron shall be taken, 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 Moses did as Jehovah 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 Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them on Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there on the top of the mountain: and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.
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 When all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they wept 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.
