Numbers 20
1 In March/April [of the next year], the Israeli people traveled/walked to the Zin Desert and (camped/set up their tents) near Kadesh [town]. While they/we were there, [Moses’/my older sister] Miriam died and was buried there.
A LAILA hele mai la ka poe mamo a Iseraela, o ke anaina kanaka a pau i ka waonahele o Zina, i ka malama mua: a noho iho la na kanaka ma Kadesa; malaila i make ai o Miriama, a ua kanuia iho la ia ma ia wahi.
2 There was no water for the people to drink there, so they came to Aaron and Moses/me.
Aohe wai ilaila no ke anaina kanaka: a hoakoakoa ae la lakou ia lakou iho, a ku e ia Mose laua me Aarona.
3 They complained and said, “We wish that we had died in front of Yahweh’s Sacred Tent when our fellow Israelis died!
Hakaka ae la na kanaka me Mose, olelo ae la lakou penei, E aho ko makou make, i ka manawa i make ai na hoahanau o makou imua o Iehova!
4 (Did you bring us, who are Yahweh’s people, into this desert to die along with our livestock?/You brought us, who are Yahweh’s people, into this desert to die along with our livestock!) [RHQ]
No ke aha hoi olua i alakai mai nei i ke anaina kanaka o Iehova iloko o keia waonahele i make ai makou me na holoholona a makou?
5 Why did you bring us from Egypt to this miserable place [RHQ]? There is no grain, there are no figs, no grapes, and no pomegranates here. And there is no water for us to drink!”
No ke aha la olua i hoohele mai nei ia makou mai Aigupita mai, e hookomo ai ia makou iloko o keia wahi ino? Aole keia he wahi no na anoano, aohe fiku, aole kumu waina, aole pomeraite, aole hoi wai e inu ai.
6 Aaron and Moses/I turned away from the people and went to the entrance of the Sacred Tent and prostrated themselves/ourselves on the ground. Then Yahweh appeared to them/us with his bright glory,
Hele aku la o Mose laua o Aarona mai ke alo o ke anaina kanaka aku a ka puka o ka halelewa o ke anaina, a moe iho la laua ilalo ke alo; a ikea mai la ka nani o Iehova ia laua.
7 and he said to Moses/me,
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
8 “You and Aaron must take Aaron’s walking stick with you and gather all the people together. While the people are watching, command that water will flow out of that [large] rock over there. Water for the people will flow from it; all they and all their livestock will have enough water to drink.”
E lawe oe i ke kookoo, a e hoakoakoa oe i ke anaina kanaka, o oe a me Aarona kou kaikuaana, a e olelo aku olua i ka pohaku imua o na maka o lakou; a e haawi mai ia i kona wai, a e lawe mai oe i ka wai no lakou mailoko mai o ka pohaku: a pela no oe e hooinu ai i ke anaina kanaka, a me ka lakou poe holoholona.
9 So Moses/I did what Yahweh told him/me to do. He/I took Aaron’s walking stick from the place in the Sacred Tent where it was kept.
Lawe aku la o Mose i ke kookoo mai ke alo o Iehova aku, e like me kana i kauoha mai ai ia ia.
10 Then Aaron and he/I summoned all the people to gather at the rock. Then Moses/I shouted to them, “All you rebellious people, listen! Is it necessary for us to give you water from this rock?”
Houluulu ae la o Mose laua o Aarona i ke anaina kanaka imua o ka pohaku, i aku la oia ia lakou, E hoolohe mai oukou, e ka poe kipi; pono anei no maua e hookahe iho i ka wai mailoko mai o keia pohaku?
11 Then Moses/I raised his/my hand and [instead of speaking to the rock], he/I struck the rock two times with the walking stick. And water gushed/poured out. So all the people and their livestock drank all the water that they wanted.
Kaikai ae la o Mose i kona lima iluna, hahau iho la i ka pohaku, me kona kookoo, elua hahau ana; a kahe nui mai la ka wai: inu iho la ke anaina kanaka a me ko lakou poe holoholona.
12 But Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me, “You did not believe that I could demonstrate my power to the Israeli people [and give them water without your striking the rock]. So you will not lead them into the land that I am giving to them!”
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose a me Aarona, No ko olua manaoio ole mai ia'u, e hoauo mai ia'u imua o na mamo a Iseraela, nelaila, aole olua e kai aku i keia anaina kanaka i ka aina a'u i haawi aku ai no lakou.
13 Later this place was called Meribah, [which means ‘arguing’], because there the Israeli people argued with Yahweh, and there he showed his power to them [by giving them water].
O keia ka wai no Meriba; no ka mea, ua aaka mai na mamo a Iseraela me Iehova, a ua hoanoia oia ia lakou.
14 [While the people were] at Kadesh [town], Moses/I sent messengers to the king of Edom to tell him this: “Your relatives, the Israeli people, are sending you this message. You know the many troubles/hardships that have happened to us.
Hoouna aku la o Mose i na elele mai Kadesa aku i ke alii o Edoma, Penei ka ka hoahanau ou, ka Iseraela e olelo aku nei, Ua ike no oe i ka luhi a pau i loaa ia makou;
15 You know that our ancestors went down to Egypt. You know that they stayed there for many years. They suffered because the [rulers of] Egypt caused them to become their slaves [and to work very hard].
I ka iho ana o ko makou poe kupuna ilalo i Aigupita, a he liuliu ko makou noho ana i Aigupita; a hoopilikia mai ko Aigupita ia makou a me ko makou poe kupuna.
16 “But when they called out to Yahweh, he heard them and sent an angel who brought them out of Egypt. Now we have set up our tents here at Kadesh, a town at the border of your land.
A i a wa i hea aku ai makou ia Iehova, hoolohe mai la oia i ko makou leo, a hoouna mai la i anela, a ua hoopuka mai ia makou iwaho o Aigupita: eia hoi makou ma Kadesa nei, he kulanakauhale ma ke kihi loa o kou palena.
17 Please allow us to travel through your country. We will [be careful to] not walk through your fields and your vineyards. We will not even drink water from your wells. As we travel, we will stay on the king’s highway, [the main road that goes from the south to the north], and we will not leave that road until we have crossed the border [of your country in the north].”
Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e ae mai oe ia makou e hele aku mawaena o kou aina: aole makou e hele mawaena o na mahinaai, aole hoi mawaena o na pawaina, aole hoi makou e inu i ka wai o na punawai; e hele no makou ma ke alaloa o ke alii, aole makou e kipa ma ka akau, aole hoi ma ka hema, a hala aku makou i na palena ou.
18 But the king of Edom refused. He replied, “Stay out of my country! If you try [to enter it], I will [send my army to] attack you!”
I mai la o Edoma ia ia, Mai hele ae oe ma o'u nei o hele aku au e ku e ia oe me ka pahikaua.
19 The Israeli messengers replied, “[If we travel through your country], we will stay on the main road. If we and any of our livestock drink any of your water, we will pay for it. We want only to travel through your country. We do not want anything else.”
I aku la ka poe mamo a Iseraela ia ia, E hele no makou ma ke alaloa, a iua e inu au a me ko'u poe holoholona i kou wai, alaila e uku aku no au ia mea: e hele wale no makou ma ko makou mau wawae, aole e hana i kekahi mea e ae.
20 But the king replied, “No! Stay out of our country! We will not [allow you] to travel through our land!” Then he sent the strongest soldiers in his army to prevent the Israelis [from entering his country].
I mai la kela, Aole loa oe e hele mawaena mai. A puka mai la ko Edoma e ku e mai ia ia, me na kanaka he nui loa, a me ka lima ikaika.
21 So, because [the king of] Edom refused to allow the Israelis to travel through his country, the Israelis turned [and traveled a different way].
Pela no o Edoma i hoole mai ai i ka haawi ana i alanui no ka Iseraela mawaena o kona palena: no ia mea, haliu ae la ka Iseraela mai ona aku la.
22 The Israeli people left Kadesh. They went to Hor Mountain,
Hele aku la na mamo a Iseraela, o ke anaina kanaka a pau, mai Kadesa aku a hiki i ke kuahiwi o Hora.
23 [which is at the border of Edom]. While they were there, Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me,
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose a me Aarona ma ke kuahiwi o Hora, ma ka palena aina o Edoma, i mai la,
24 “It is time for Aaron to die [EUP]. He will not enter the land that I am giving to you Israelis, because the two of you disobeyed me [when I told you to speak to the rock to cause] the water [to flow] at Meribah.
E hui pu ia'ku o Aarona me kona poe kanaka: aole ia e komo i ka aina a'u i haawi aku ai no na mamo a Iseraela, no ka mea, ua ku e mai olua i ka'u olelo ma ka wai Meriba.
25 Now you, Moses, take Aaron and his son Eleazar up on Hor Mountain.
E lawe oe ia Aarona a me kana keiki o Eleazara, e kai aku ia laua maluna ma ko kuahiwi o Hora.
26 There you must remove Aaron’s robes [that he wears when he does the work of a priest], and put them on his son, Eleazar. Aaron will die up there.”
E wehe ae i ka aahu o Aarona, a e hookomo i kana keiki ia Eleazara: a e hui pu ia'ku o Aarona, a e make no ia malaila.
27 So Moses/I did what Yahweh commanded. The three of them/us climbed up Hor Mountain, while all the Israeli people watched.
Hana iho la o Mose e like me ka Iehova i kauoha mai ai: a pii aku la laua ma ke kuahiwi o Hora imua o ke anaina kanaka a pau.
28 At the top of the mountain, Moses/I took off the robes that Aaron wore [while he did the work of a priest] and put them on Eleazar. Then Aaron died there on the top of the mountain, and Eleazar and Moses/I went back down.
Wehe ae la o Mose i na aahu o Aarona, a hoaahu ae la maluna o kana keiki o Eleazara: a make iho la o Aarona malaila ma kahi oi o ke kuahiwi: a iho iho la o Mose laua o Eleazara mai ke kuahiwi mai.
29 When the Israeli people realized that Aaron had died, they all mourned for him for 30 days.
A ike aku la ke anaina kanaka a pau, na make o Aarona, kanikau iho la ka Iseraela a pau ia Aarona i na la he kanakolu.
