Mose 4 20
1 Israelviwo ɖo Zin gbedzi le ƒea ƒe ɣleti gbãtɔ me. Woƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe Kades. Miriam ku, eye woɖii ɖe afi ma.
The children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came into the wilderness of Zin in the first month. The people stayed in Kadesh. Miriam died there, and was buried there.
2 Tsi mebɔ ɖe afi ma na nono o, ale ameawo gadze aglã ɖe Mose kple Aron ŋu. Ameha gã aɖe ɖi anyi,
There was no water for the congregation; and they assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.
3 eye wowɔ takpekpe ɖe Mose kple Aron ŋu. Wodo ɣli ɖe Mose ta gblɔ be, “Ɖe míawo hã míaku kple mía nɔvi lɔlɔ̃a siwo Yehowa wu hafi!
The people quarreled with Moses, and spoke, saying, “We wish that we had died when our brothers died before Yahweh!
4 Ɖe nèɖoe koŋ kplɔ Yehowa ƒe amewo va gbedzi le afi sia be míawo kple míaƒe lãhawo siaa natsrɔ̃!
Why have you brought Yahweh’s assembly into this wilderness, that we should die there, we and our animals?
5 Nu ka koŋkoŋkoŋ ta nèna míedzo le Egipte, eye nèkplɔ mí va teƒe sesẽ sia ɖo? Ègblɔ na mí be míayi anyigba nyui si dzi nuku wɔnukuwo abe gbotiwo, wain tsetsewo kple yevuboɖatiwo ene le. Anyigba si ƒe nya nègblɔ na mí ɖe? Tsi teti gɔ̃ hã meli ade mía nu míano le afi sia o!”
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.”
6 Mose kple Aron wotrɔ le wo gbɔ yi Agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu. Wotsyɔ mo anyi le Yehowa ŋkume. Tete Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe ɖe eɖokui fia wo.
Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and fell on their faces. Yahweh’s glory appeared to them.
7 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
8 “Tsɔ Aron ƒe atikplɔ la. Mi kple Aron miƒo ameawo nu ƒu. Ƒo nu le ameawo ƒe ŋkume na agakpe si le afi mɛ ɖa la be wòana tsi nado tso eme; eye nàna tsi wo tso agakpe la me wòade na ameawo kple woƒe lãwo katã.”
“Take the rod, and assemble the congregation, you, and Aaron your brother, and speak to the rock before their eyes, that it pour out its water. You shall bring water to them out of the rock; so you shall give the congregation and their livestock drink.”
9 Mose wɔ nu si Mawu ɖo nɛ. Etsɔ atikplɔ la tso afi si wòdzrae ɖo le Yehowa ŋkume.
Moses took the rod from before Yahweh, as he commanded him.
10 Mose kple Aron woyɔ ameawo, eye wona woƒo ƒu ɖe agakpe la gbɔ. Mose gblɔ na wo be, “Miɖo to, mi aglãdzelawo! Ɖe míaɖe tsi tso agakpe sia me na mia?”
Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock, and he said to them, “Hear now, you rebels! Shall we bring water out of this rock for you?”
11 Mose kɔ atikplɔ la dzi, eye wòƒo agakpe la zi eve. Enumake tsi do bababa tso agakpe la me ameawo kple woƒe lãwo no.
Moses lifted up his hand, and struck the rock with his rod twice, and water came out abundantly. The congregation and their livestock drank.
12 Ke Yehowa gblɔ na Mose kple Aron be, “Zi ale si mieɖo ŋu ɖe ŋunye o, eye miekɔ ŋutinye le Israelviwo ŋkume o ta la, miakplɔ Israelviwo ade anyigba si ŋugbe medo na wo la dzi o!”
Yahweh said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you didn’t 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.”
13 Wona ŋkɔ teƒe sia be Meriba, si gɔmee nye “Dzrewɔtsi,” elabena afi siae Israelviwo tso ɖe Yehowa ŋu le eye Yehowa ɖee fia wo be yele kɔkɔe le woƒe ŋkume.
These are the waters of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with Yahweh, and he was sanctified in them.
14 Esi Mose nɔ Kades la, eɖo amewo ɖe Edom fia gbɔ be, “Míawoe nye nɔviwò Israel ƒe dzidzimeviwo. Ènya ale si míaƒe ŋutinya wɔ nublanuii,
Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, saying: “Your brother Israel says: You know all the travail that has happened to us;
15 ale si mía tɔgbuiwo yi Egipte, nɔ afi ma ƒe geɖewo, eye wozu kluviwo na Egiptetɔwo.
how our fathers went down into Egypt, and we lived in Egypt a long time. The Egyptians mistreated us and our fathers.
16 Ke esi míedo ɣli na Yehowa la, ese míaƒe kokoƒoƒo, eye wòɖo mawudɔla aɖe ɖa wòva kplɔ mí dzoe le Egipte. “Fifia míele Kades. Míeƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe wò liƒo dzi.
When we cried to Yahweh, he heard our voice, sent an angel, and brought us out of Egypt. Behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the edge of your border.
17 Míeɖe kuku ɖe mɔ na mí míato wò anyigba dzi. Míakpɔ nyuie be míato miaƒe agblewo kple waingblewo me o. Míano tsi tso miaƒe vudowo me hã o. Míanɔ mɔ gã la dzi ko tẽe. Míadzo le mɔ gã la dzi o va se ɖe esime míado go le wò anyigba dzi.”
“Please let us pass through your land. We will not pass through field or through vineyard, neither will we drink from the water of the wells. We will go along the king’s highway. We will not turn away to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed your border.”
18 Ke Edom fia gblɔ na wo be, “Migaɖo afɔ nye anyigba dzi o! Ne mietee kpɔ be yewoaɖo afɔ nye anyigba dzi la, nye aʋakɔ akpe aʋa kpli mi!”
Edom said to him, “You shall not pass through me, lest I come out with the sword against you.”
19 Israelviwo ƒe ame dɔdɔwo yi edzi be, “Fia bubutɔ, mɔ gã la dzi ko míanɔ. Ne míano tsi tso miaƒe vudo me gɔ̃ hã la, míaxe fe ɖe sia ɖe si nàbia la ɖe eta. Ale si míatso eme ayi ko biam míele; míegale nu bubu aɖeke biam o.”
The children of Israel said to him, “We will go up by the highway; and if we drink your water, I and my livestock, then I will give its price. Only let me, without doing anything else, pass through on my feet.”
20 Edom fia gbe gbidigbidi gblɔ na wo be, “Migage ɖe nye anyigba dzi o.” Ena aʋakɔ gã aɖe ƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe eƒe liƒo dzi.
He said, “You shall not pass through.” Edom came out against him with many people, and with a strong hand.
21 Esi Edom gbe be womato yeƒe anyigba dzi o ta la, Israelviwo glɔ̃ mɔ to Edom ŋu.
Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border, so Israel turned away from him.
22 Israelviwo ƒe ha blibo la ho, dze mɔ tso Kades, eye wova ɖo Hor to la gbɔ.
They traveled from Kadesh, and the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came to Mount Hor.
23 Le Hor to la gbɔ, teƒe si te ɖe Edom ƒe liƒo ŋu la, Yehowa gblɔ na Mose kple Aron be,
Yahweh spoke to Moses and Aaron in Mount Hor, by the border of the land of Edom, saying,
24 “Azã la su be Aron naku, elabena made anyigba, si metsɔ na Israelviwo la dzi o, le esi mi ame evea mietsi tsitre ɖe nye ɖoɖowo ŋu tso tsi si le Meriba ŋu la ta.
“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.
25 Azɔ, kplɔ Aron kple via Eleazar yi Hor to la dzi.
Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up to Mount Hor;
26 Ɖe Aron ƒe nunɔlawuwo le eŋuti, eye nàdo wo na via, Eleazar. Aron aku ɖe afi ma.”
and strip Aaron of his garments, and put them on Eleazar his son. Aaron shall be gathered, and shall die there.”
27 Ale Mose wɔ nu si Yehowa ɖo nɛ. Wo ame etɔ̃ la wolia Hor to la esi ameawo katã nɔ wo kpɔm.
Moses did as Yahweh commanded. They went up onto Mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.
28 Esi woɖo toa tame la, Mose ɖe nunɔlawuawo le Aron ŋu, eye wòtsɔ wo do na Aron ƒe viŋutsu Eleazar. Aron ku ɖe to la tame. Mose kple Eleazar trɔ gbɔ,
Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them on Eleazar his son. Aaron died there on the top of the mountain, and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.
29 eye esi ameawo se be Aron ku la, Israelviwo fae ŋkeke blaetɔ̃.
When all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they wept for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.
