Ndari 20
1 Na rĩrĩ, mweri wa mbere, kĩrĩndĩ gĩothe kĩa andũ a Isiraeli gĩgĩkinya kũu Werũ-inĩ wa Zini, na gĩgĩikara Kadeshi. Nake Miriamu agĩkuĩra kũu na agĩthikwo o ro kuo.
And the children of Israel, [even] the whole congregation, came into the wilderness of Sin, in the first month, and the people abode in Cades; and Mariam died there, and was buried there.
2 Na rĩrĩ, handũ hau hatiarĩ maaĩ ma kũnyuuo nĩ kĩrĩndĩ, nao andũ acio makĩũngana, magĩũkĩrĩra Musa na Harũni.
And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered themselves together against Moses and Aaron.
3 Makĩnegenia Musa, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Naarĩ korwo nĩtwakuire rĩrĩa ariũ a ithe witũ maakuire marĩ mbere ya Jehova!
And the people reviled Moses, saying, Would we had died in the destruction of our brethren before the Lord!
4 Nĩ kĩĩ gĩatũmire mũrehe kĩrĩndĩ kĩa Jehova werũ-inĩ ũyũ, nĩguo ithuĩ na mahiũ maitũ tũkuĩre gũkũ?
And therefore have you brought up the congregation of the Lord into this wilderness, to kill us and our cattle?
5 Mwatũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri nĩkĩ, mũgĩtũrehe kũndũ gũkũ kũũru ũũ? Gũkũ gũtirĩ ngano kana ngũyũ, kana thabibũ, kana makomamanga. O na gũtirĩ maaĩ ma kũnyua!”
And therefore [is] this? You have brought us up out of Egypt, that we should come into this evil place; a place where there is no sowing, neither figs, nor vines, nor pomegranates, neither is there water to drink.
6 Musa na Harũni makiuma hau kĩungano kĩarĩ, magĩthiĩ nginya o itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo makĩĩgũithia na magĩturumithia mothiũ mao thĩ, naguo riiri wa Jehova ũkĩmoimĩrĩra.
And Moses and Aaron went from before the assembly to the door of the tabernacle of witness, and they fell upon their faces; and the glory of the Lord appeared to them.
7 Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
8 “Oya rũthanju rwaku, nawe na mũrũ wa nyũkwa Harũni mũcokanĩrĩrie kĩrĩndĩ kĩu hamwe. Arĩria rwaro rũrũ rwa ihiga makwĩroreire, na nĩrũkuuma maaĩ. Nawe ũrutĩre kĩrĩndĩ maaĩ rwaro-inĩ rũrũ rwa ihiga, nĩgeetha kĩnyue hamwe na mahiũ ma kĩo.”
Take your rod, and call the assembly, you and Aaron your brother, and speak you to the rock before them, and it shall give forth its waters; and you shall bring forth for them water out of the rock, and give drink to the congregation and their cattle.
9 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa akĩoya rũthanju akĩrũruta hau mbere ya Jehova, o ta ũrĩa Jehova aamwathĩte.
And Moses took his rod which was before the Lord, as the Lord commanded.
10 Nake Musa na Harũni magĩcokanĩrĩria kĩrĩndĩ kĩu hamwe hau mbere ya rwaro rwa ihiga, na Musa akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ta thikĩrĩriai, inyuĩ aremi aya, no nginya tũmũrutĩre maaĩ kuuma rwaro-inĩ rũrũ rwa ihiga?”
And Moses and Aaron assembled the congregation before the rock, and said to them, Hear me, you disobedient ones; must we bring you water out of this rock?
11 Musa agĩcooka akĩoya guoko gwake na igũrũ, akĩgũtha rwaro rũu rwa ihiga na rũthanju rwake maita meerĩ. Maaĩ makĩbororoka, nakĩo kĩrĩndĩ kĩu gĩkĩnyua, o na mahiũ makĩo makĩnyua.
And Moses lifted up his hand and struck the rock with his rod twice; and much water came forth, and the congregation drank, and their cattle.
12 No Jehova akĩĩra Musa na Harũni atĩrĩ, “Tondũ mũtinanjĩtĩkia nĩguo muonanie atĩ niĩ ndĩ mũtheru, mũtũme heo gĩtĩĩo maitho-inĩ ma andũ a Isiraeli, inyuĩ mũtigaakinyia kĩrĩndĩ gĩkĩ bũrũri ũrĩa ndĩmaheete.”
And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, Because you have not believed me to sanctify me before the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.
13 Macio nĩmo maarĩ maaĩ ma Meriba, kũrĩa andũ a Isiraeli maatetanirie na Jehova na kũrĩa eyonanirie atĩ nĩ mũtheru thĩinĩ wao.
This is the water of Strife, because the children of Israel spoke insolently before the Lord, and he was sanctified in them.
14 Musa agĩtũma andũ kuuma Kadeshi mathiĩ kũrĩ mũthamaki wa Edomu, makamwĩre atĩrĩ: “Mũrũ wa nyũkwa Isiraeli oiga atĩrĩ: Wee nĩũũĩ mathĩĩna marĩa mothe tũkoretwo namo.
And Moses sent messengers from Cades to the king of Edom, saying, Thus says your brother Israel; You know all the distress that has come upon us.
15 Maithe maitũ ma tene nĩmaikũrũkire magĩthiĩ bũrũri wa Misiri, na ithuĩ tũgĩtũũra kuo mĩaka mĩingĩ. Andũ a Misiri nĩmatũhiinyĩrĩirie mũno ithuĩ ene o na maithe maitũ,
And [how] our fathers went down into Egypt, and we sojourned in Egypt many days, and the Egyptians afflicted us and our fathers.
16 no rĩrĩa twakaĩire Jehova-rĩ, nĩaiguire kĩrĩro giitũ nake agĩtũma mũraika agĩtũruta kũu bũrũri wa Misiri. “Na rĩu tũrĩ gũkũ Kadeshi, itũũra rĩrĩa rĩ mũthia-inĩ wa bũrũri waku.
And we cried to the Lord, and the Lord heard our voice, and sent an angel and brought us out of Egypt; and now we are in the city of Cades, at the extremity of your coasts.
17 Ndagũthaitha ũtwĩtĩkĩrie tũtuĩkanĩrie bũrũri waku. Tũtikũgerera mĩgũnda-inĩ ya irio, kana ya mĩthabibũ, kana tũnyue maaĩ ma gĩthima o na kĩmwe. Tũkũgerera njĩra ĩrĩa nene ya mũthamaki, na tũtigũkerũra na mwena wa ũrĩo o na kana wa ũmotho, o nginya tũtuĩkanie bũrũri waku.”
We will pass through your land: we will not go through the fields, nor through the vineyards, nor will we drink water out of your cistern: we will go by the king's highway; we will not turn aside to the right hand or to the left, until we have passed your borders.
18 No Edomu akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ: “Ndũgũtuĩkanĩria gũkũ; na ũngĩgeria-rĩ, tũkuumagara tũmũtharĩkĩre na rũhiũ rwa njora.”
And Edom said to him, You shall not pass through me, and if otherwise, I will go forth to meet you in war.
19 Andũ a Isiraeli acio makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ tũkũgerera o njĩra ĩrĩa nene, na ithuĩ ene kana mahiũ maitũ tũngĩnyua maaĩ manyu-rĩ, nĩtũkũrĩha. Tũrenda o tũtuĩkanie tũthiĩte na magũrũ tu hatarĩ ũndũ ũngĩ.”
And the children of Israel say to him, We will pass by the mountain; and if I and my cattle drink of your water, I will pay you: but it is no matter of importance, we will go by the mountain.
20 Ningĩ Edomu agĩcookia atĩrĩ: “Aca, mũtigũtuĩkanĩria gũkũ.” Hĩndĩ ĩyo Edomu akiumagara akamatharĩkĩre, arĩ mbũtũ nene ĩna hinya mũingĩ.
And he said, You shall not pass through me; and Edom went forth to meet him with a great host, and a mighty hand.
21 Tondũ Edomu ndaametĩkĩririe matuĩkanĩrie bũrũri wao-rĩ, andũ a Isiraeli makĩhũndũka, magĩtigana nao.
So Edom refused to allow Israel to pass through his borders, and Israel turned away from him.
22 Kĩrĩndĩ gĩothe kĩa andũ a Isiraeli gĩkiuma kũu Kadeshi na magĩkinya Kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Horu.
And they departed from Cades; and the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came to Mount Or.
23 Marĩ kũu Kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Horu, hakuhĩ na mũhaka wa Edomu, Jehova akĩĩra Musa na Harũni atĩrĩ,
And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron in mount Or, on the borders of the land of Edom, saying,
24 “Rĩu Harũni nĩegũkua. Ndegũtoonya bũrũri ũrĩa ngũhe andũ a Isiraeli, nĩ ũndũ inyuĩ eerĩ nĩmwaremeire watho wakwa kũu maaĩ-inĩ ma Meriba.
Let Aaron be added to his people; for you shall certainly not go into the land which I have given the children of Israel, because you provoked me at the water of strife.
25 Oya Harũni na mũriũ Eleazaru, ũmatware Kĩrĩma-igũrũ kĩa Horu.
Take Aaron, and Eleazar his son, and bring them up to the mount Or before all the congregation;
26 Ũrute Harũni nguo ciake, ũcihumbe mũriũ Eleazaru, nĩ ũndũ Harũni nĩegũkua, na egũkuĩra o ro kũu.”
and take Aaron's apparel from off him, and put it on Eleazar his son: and let Aaron die there and be added to [his people].
27 Musa agĩĩka o ta ũrĩa Jehova aamwathĩte; makĩambata Kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Horu makĩonagwo nĩ kĩrĩndĩ kĩu gĩothe.
And Moses did as the Lord commanded him, and took him up to mount Or, before all the congregation.
28 Musa akĩruta Harũni nguo ciake, agĩcihumba mũriũ Eleazaru. Nake Harũni agĩkuĩra kũu kĩrĩma igũrũ. Nake Musa na Eleazaru magĩikũrũka makiuma kũu kĩrĩma igũrũ,
And he took Aaron's garments off him, and put them on Eleazar his son, and Aaron died on the top of the mountain; and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.
29 na rĩrĩa kĩrĩndĩ kĩu kĩamenyire atĩ Harũni nĩakuĩte, andũ othe a nyũmba ya Isiraeli makĩmũcakaĩra mĩthenya mĩrongo ĩtatũ.
And all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead: and they wept for Aaron thirty days, [even] all the house of Israel.
