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.
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 Na rĩrĩ, handũ hau hatiarĩ maaĩ ma kũnyuuo nĩ kĩrĩndĩ, nao andũ acio makĩũngana, magĩũkĩrĩra Musa na Harũni.
There was no water for the congregation; and they assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.
3 Makĩnegenia Musa, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Naarĩ korwo nĩtwakuire rĩrĩa ariũ a ithe witũ maakuire marĩ mbere ya Jehova!
The people quarreled with Moses, and spoke, saying, “We wish that we had died when our brothers died before the LORD!
4 Nĩ kĩĩ gĩatũmire mũrehe kĩrĩndĩ kĩa Jehova werũ-inĩ ũyũ, nĩguo ithuĩ na mahiũ maitũ tũkuĩre gũkũ?
Why have you brought the LORD’s assembly into this wilderness, that we should die there, we and our animals?
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!”
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 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.
Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and fell on their faces. The LORD’s glory appeared to them.
7 Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
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 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 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa akĩoya rũthanju akĩrũruta hau mbere ya Jehova, o ta ũrĩa Jehova aamwathĩte.
Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him.
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?”
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 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.
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 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.”
The LORD 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 Macio nĩmo maarĩ maaĩ ma Meriba, kũrĩa andũ a Isiraeli maatetanirie na Jehova na kũrĩa eyonanirie atĩ nĩ mũtheru thĩinĩ wao.
These are the waters of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with 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.
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 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,
how our fathers went down into Egypt, and we lived in Egypt a long time. The Egyptians mistreated 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.
When we cried to the LORD, 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 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.”
“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 No Edomu akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ: “Ndũgũtuĩkanĩria gũkũ; na ũngĩgeria-rĩ, tũkuumagara tũmũtharĩkĩre na rũhiũ rwa njora.”
Edom said to him, “You shall not pass through me, lest I come out with the sword against you.”
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.”
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 Ningĩ Edomu agĩcookia atĩrĩ: “Aca, mũtigũtuĩkanĩria gũkũ.” Hĩndĩ ĩyo Edomu akiumagara akamatharĩkĩre, arĩ mbũtũ nene ĩna hinya mũingĩ.
He said, “You shall not pass through.” Edom came out against him with many people, and with a strong hand.
21 Tondũ Edomu ndaametĩkĩririe matuĩkanĩrie bũrũri wao-rĩ, andũ a Isiraeli makĩhũndũka, magĩtigana nao.
Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border, so Israel turned away from him.
22 Kĩrĩndĩ gĩothe kĩa andũ a Isiraeli gĩkiuma kũu Kadeshi na magĩkinya Kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Horu.
They traveled from Kadesh, and the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came to Mount Hor.
23 Marĩ kũu Kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Horu, hakuhĩ na mũhaka wa Edomu, Jehova akĩĩra Musa na Harũni atĩrĩ,
The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron in Mount Hor, by the border 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.
“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 Oya Harũni na mũriũ Eleazaru, ũmatware Kĩrĩma-igũrũ kĩa Horu.
Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up to Mount Hor;
26 Ũrute Harũni nguo ciake, ũcihumbe mũriũ Eleazaru, nĩ ũndũ Harũni nĩegũkua, na egũkuĩra o ro kũu.”
and strip Aaron of his garments, and put them on Eleazar his son. Aaron shall be gathered, and shall die there.”
27 Musa agĩĩka o ta ũrĩa Jehova aamwathĩte; makĩambata Kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Horu makĩonagwo nĩ kĩrĩndĩ kĩu gĩothe.
Moses did as the LORD commanded. They went up onto Mount Hor in the sight of 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,
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 na rĩrĩa kĩrĩndĩ kĩu kĩamenyire atĩ Harũni nĩakuĩte, andũ othe a nyũmba ya Isiraeli makĩmũcakaĩra mĩthenya mĩrongo ĩtatũ.
When all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they wept for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.
