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.
Dalam bulan satu seluruh umat Israel tiba di padang gurun Zin dan menetap di Kades. Miryam meninggal dan dikuburkan di situ.
2 There was no water for the people to drink there, so they came to Aaron and Moses/me.
Pada suatu waktu di tempat perkemahan mereka tidak ada air. Maka datanglah orang-orang itu mengerumuni Musa dan Harun
3 They complained and said, “We wish that we had died in front of Yahweh’s Sacred Tent when our fellow Israelis died!
sambil mengomel, "Lebih baik sekiranya kami mati di hadapan TUHAN bersama-sama dengan saudara-saudara kami!
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]
Mengapa kamu membawa kami ke padang gurun ini? Apakah supaya kami mati di sini bersama-sama dengan ternak kami?
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!”
Untuk apa kamu membawa kami keluar dari Mesir ke tempat sengsara ini yang tidak bisa ditanami apa-apa? Di sini tak ada gandum, tak ada pohon ara, anggur, dan delima. Bahkan air minum pun tak ada!"
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,
Musa dan Harun pergi menjauhi orang-orang itu lalu berdiri di dekat pintu Kemah TUHAN. Mereka sujud, lalu cahaya kehadiran TUHAN menyinari mereka.
7 and he said to Moses/me,
TUHAN berkata kepada Musa,
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.”
"Ambillah tongkat yang ada di depan Peti Perjanjian, lalu engkau dan Harun harus mengumpulkan seluruh umat. Di depan mereka semua, engkau harus berkata kepada bukit batu yang ada di situ supaya memancurkan air. Demikianlah engkau mengeluarkan air dari bukit batu itu supaya rakyat dan ternak mereka dapat minum."
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.
Maka pergilah Musa mengambil tongkat itu seperti yang diperintahkan TUHAN.
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?”
Musa dan Harun mengumpulkan seluruh umat di depan bukit batu itu. Lalu Musa berkata, "Dengarlah, hai kaum pemberontak! Apakah kami harus mengeluarkan air dari bukit batu ini untuk kamu?"
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.
Lalu Musa mengangkat tongkat itu dan memukulkannya pada bukit batu itu dua kali. Maka mancurlah air dengan derasnya, sehingga semua orang dan ternak bisa minum.
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!”
Tetapi TUHAN menegur Musa dan Harun, kata-Nya, "Karena kamu kurang percaya kepada-Ku untuk menyatakan kuasa-Ku yang suci di depan bangsa Israel, kamu tidak akan memimpin mereka masuk ke negeri yang Kujanjikan kepada mereka."
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].
Itulah mata air Meriba. Di tempat itu orang-orang Israel mengomel terhadap TUHAN, dan di situ juga TUHAN menunjukkan kuasa-Nya yang suci kepada bangsa itu.
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.
Kemudian dari Kades, Musa mengirim utusan-utusan untuk menghadap raja Edom. Kata mereka, "Kami dari suku-suku Israel yang masih ada hubungan saudara dengan Tuanku. Tuanku mungkin tahu kesusahan yang menimpa kami.
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].
Nenek moyang kami pergi ke Mesir dan menetap di sana bertahun-tahun lamanya. Leluhur kami dan kami diperlakukan tidak baik oleh bangsa Mesir,
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.
dan kami berseru kepada TUHAN minta tolong. Ia mendengar seruan kami dan mengutus seorang malaikat. Malaikat itu memimpin kami keluar dari tanah Mesir. Sekarang kami berada di Kades, sebuah kota di perbatasan wilayah Tuanku.
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].”
Kami mohon kiranya Tuanku sudi mengizinkan kami melalui negeri ini. Kami dan ternak kami tidak akan menyimpang dari jalanan dan tidak akan masuk ke ladang-ladang atau kebun-kebun anggur. Kami tidak akan minum air dari sumur-sumur Tuanku. Kami akan berjalan di jalan raya saja sampai kami keluar dari daerah Tuanku."
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!”
Tetapi orang Edom menjawab, "Kamu tidak kami izinkan melalui wilayah kami. Kalau kamu nekat, kami akan menyerang kamu!"
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.”
Orang Israel berkata, "Kami akan berjalan melalui jalan raya, dan kalau kami atau ternak kami minum airmu, kami akan membayar. Kami hanya ingin lewat."
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].
Orang Edom berkata lagi, "Tidak boleh!" Lalu mereka keluar dengan tentara yang kuat untuk menyerang bangsa Israel.
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].
Maka orang Israel berbalik dan mencari jalan lain sebab tidak diizinkan orang Edom melalui daerah mereka.
22 The Israeli people left Kadesh. They went to Hor Mountain,
Seluruh umat Israel meninggalkan Kades lalu tiba di Gunung Hor,
23 [which is at the border of Edom]. While they were there, Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me,
di perbatasan Edom. Di situ TUHAN berkata kepada Musa dan Harun,
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.
"Harun tidak akan masuk ke negeri yang sudah Kujanjikan kepada bangsa Israel; ia akan mati karena kamu berdua telah melawan perintah-Ku di dekat mata air Meriba.
25 Now you, Moses, take Aaron and his son Eleazar up on Hor Mountain.
Bawalah Harun dan Eleazar, anaknya, naik ke Gunung Hor.
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.”
Tanggalkanlah pakaian Harun dan kenakanlah pada Eleazar. Harun akan mati di tempat itu."
27 So Moses/I did what Yahweh commanded. The three of them/us climbed up Hor Mountain, while all the Israeli people watched.
Musa melakukan apa yang diperintahkan TUHAN. Musa, Harun dan Eleazar mendaki Gunung Hor disaksikan oleh seluruh umat.
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.
Lalu Musa menanggalkan pakaian Harun dan mengenakannya pada Eleazar. Di puncak gunung itu Harun meninggal, kemudian Musa dan Eleazar turun kembali.
29 When the Israeli people realized that Aaron had died, they all mourned for him for 30 days.
Seluruh umat mendengar bahwa Harun sudah meninggal, dan mereka semua berkabung untuk dia tiga puluh hari lamanya.
