Resansman 20
1 Sou premye mwa a, tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo te rive nan dezè Zin lan, epi yo moute tant yo yon kote yo rele Kadès. Se la Miryam mouri, se la menm yo antere l'.
And the sons of Israel, all the congregation, come [into] the wilderness of Zin in the first month, and the people abide in Kadesh; and Miriam dies there and is buried there.
2 Men, pa t' gen dlo la pou pèp la te bwè. Pèp la sanble bò kote Moyiz ak Arawon, yo leve kont ak yo.
And there has been no water for the congregation, and they are assembled against Moses and against Aaron,
3 Pèp la fè kont ak Moyiz, yo di l' konsa: -Pa pito nou te mouri devan lotèl Seyè a ansanm ak lòt frè nou yo!
and the people strive with Moses and speak, saying, “And oh that we had expired when our brothers expired before YHWH!
4 Poukisa ou mennen nou nan dezè a? Gen lè se pou fè nou mouri, nou menm pèp Seyè a, ansanm ak tou bèt nou yo?
And why have you brought in the assembly of YHWH to this wilderness to die there, we and our beasts?
5 Poukisa ou fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip la pou mennen nou nan move kote sa a? Se yon kote ou pa jwenn grenn pou simen, ou pa jwenn okenn pye fig frans, ni pye rezen, ni pye grenad. Pa menm gen dlo pou moun bwè!
And why have you brought us up out of Egypt to bring us to this evil place? [It is] not a place of seed, and fig, and vine, and pomegranate; and there is no water to drink.”
6 Moyiz ak Arawon pati kite pèp la, y' ale devan pòt Tant Randevou a. Yo lage kò yo fas atè, epi bèl limyè prezans Bondye a parèt sou yo.
And Moses and Aaron go in from the presence of the assembly to the opening of the Tent of Meeting and fall on their faces, and the glory of YHWH is seen by them.
7 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
8 -Pran baton ki sou devan Bwat Kontra a. Lèfini, ou menm ak Arawon, frè ou la, sanble tout pèp la. Epi devan yo tout, w'a pale ak wòch ki bò laba a, wòch la va bay dlo. Se konsa w'a fè dlo soti nan wòch la pou pèp la, pou yo tout ka bwè ansanm ak bèt yo.
“Take the rod and assemble the congregation—you and your brother Aaron—and you have spoken to the rock before their eyes, and it has given its water, and you have brought out water to them from the rock, and have watered the congregation and their beasts.”
9 Moyiz pran baton ki sou devan lotèl la, jan Seyè a te ba li lòd la.
And Moses takes the rod from before YHWH as He has commanded him,
10 Moyiz ak Arawon sanble tout pèp la devan gwo wòch la. Epi Moyiz di yo: -Louvri zòrèy nou, bann moun tèt di! Se vle nou vle mwen fè dlo soti nan wòch sa a pou nou?
and Moses and Aaron assemble the assembly to the front of the rock, and he says to them, “Now hear, O rebels, do we bring out water to you from this rock?”
11 Moyiz leve men l', li frape wòch la de fwa avèk baton an. Epi yon gwo sous dlo pete nan wòch la. Tout moun yo bwè ansanm ak bèt yo tou.
And Moses lifts up his hand and strikes the rock with his rod twice; and much water comes out, and the congregation drinks, and their beasts [drink].
12 Men, Seyè a di Moyiz ak Arawon konsa: -Paske nou pa t' fin gen konfyans nèt nan mwen pou n' te fè moun pèp Izrayèl yo wè jan mwen se yon Bondye apa, se pa nou menm m'ap kite mennen pèp la antre nan peyi mwen pwomèt m'ap ba yo a.
And YHWH says to Moses and to Aaron, “Because you have not believed in Me to sanctify Me before the eyes of the sons of Israel, therefore you do not bring in this assembly to the land which I have given to them.”
13 Se kote sa a yo rele sous Meriba a, paske se la moun pèp Izrayèl yo te leve kont ak Seyè a. Se la Seyè a te moutre yo li se yon Bondye ki pa tankou lòt bondye yo.
These [are] the waters of Meribah, because the sons of Israel have “striven” with YHWH, and He is sanctified among them.
14 Moyiz rete Kadès, li voye kèk mesaje bò wa peyi Edon an pou di l' konsa: -Men sa moun pèp Izrayèl yo, moun menm fanmi ak ou yo, voye di ou: Ou konnen tout tray nou pase.
And Moses sends messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, “Thus said your brother Israel: You have known all the travail which has found us,
15 Ou konnen ki jan zansèt nou yo te desann al rete nan peyi Lejip pandan lontan, ki jan moun peyi sa a tonbe maltrete nou menm jan yo te maltrete zansèt nou yo.
that our fathers go down to Egypt, and we dwell in Egypt [for] many days, and the Egyptians do evil to us and to our fathers;
16 Lè nou wè sa, nou rele nan pye Seyè a. Li tande vwa nou, epi li voye zanj li, li fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip sa a. Koulye a, men nou Kadès, yon lavil ki toupre fwontyè peyi ou la.
then we cry to YHWH, and He hears our voice, and sends a Messenger, and is bringing us out of Egypt; and behold, we [are] in Kadesh, a city [in] the extremity of your border.
17 Tanpri, n'ap mande ou yon ti pèmisyon pou nou pase ase nan mitan peyi ou la. Nou p'ap kite wout nou pou n' pase nan mitan jaden ou, ni nan mitan pye rezen ou yo. Ata dlo nan pi ou yo nou p'ap bwè. Nou p'ap kite gran chemen w'a moutre nou an, nou p'ap vire ni adwat ni agoch, jouk n'a fin travèse lòt bò peyi a.
Please let us pass over through your land; we do not pass over through a field or through a vineyard, nor do we drink waters of a well; we go the way of the king, we do not turn aside [to] the right or left until we pass over your border.”
18 Wa Edon an voye di yo: -Non. Nou p'ap kite nou travèse peyi a. Si nou chache fè sa, n'ap mache pran nou, n'ap atake nou.
And Edom says to him, “You do not pass over through me, lest I come out to meet you with the sword.”
19 Men, moun pèp Izrayèl yo voye di l' ankò: -Nou p'ap kite gran chemen w'a louvri devan nou an. Epi si yonn nan nou, osinon yonn nan bèt nou yo ta bwè nan dlo peyi ou la, n'ap peye ou pou sa. Se annik pase nou bezwen pase nan mitan peyi a, pa lòt bagay!
And the sons of Israel say to him, “We go in the highway, and if we drink of your waters—I and my livestock—then I have given their price; only, let me pass over on my feet, nothing [more].”
20 Men, wa Edon an voye di yo ankò: -Non! Nou p'ap pase menm! Epi li soti avèk yon gwo lame ak yon bann lòt moun, yo mache kontre moun pèp Izrayèl yo.
And he says, “You do not pass over”; and Edom comes out to meet him with many people and with a strong hand;
21 Se konsa moun peyi Edon yo te refize kite moun pèp Izrayèl yo pase nan peyi yo a. Kifè moun Izrayèl yo te blije vire do yo, fè yon lòt wout.
and Edom refuses to permit Israel to pass over through his border, and Israel turns aside from off him.
22 Tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo kite Kadès, yo rive sou Mòn Or la,
And the sons of Israel, all the congregation, journey from Kadesh and come to Mount Hor,
23 ki te toupre fwontyè peyi Edon an. Antan yo la, Seyè a pale ak Moyiz ansanm ak Arawon, li di yo:
and YHWH speaks to Moses and to Aaron in Mount Hor, on the border of the land of Edom, saying,
24 -Arawon pa pral antre nan peyi mwen pwomèt pou m' bay moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Msye pral mouri, li pral jwenn moun li yo ki te mouri anvan l' yo, paske nou tou de, nou pa t' fè sa mwen te ban nou lòd fè bò sous dlo Meriba a.
“Aaron is gathered to his people, for he does not go into the land which I have given to the sons of Israel, because that you provoked My mouth at the waters of Meribah.
25 Pran Arawon ak Eleaza, pitit gason l' lan, moute sou mòn Or la ak yo.
Take Aaron and his son Eleazar, and cause them to go up Mount Hor,
26 W'a wete rad espesyal ki sou Arawon yo, w'a mete yo sou Eleaza, pitit gason l' lan. Se la sou mòn lan Arawon pral mouri.
and strip Aaron of his garments, and you have clothed his son Eleazar [with] them, and Aaron is gathered, and dies there.”
27 Moyiz fè tou sa Seyè a te mande l' fè a: Devan je tout moun, yo tou twa yo moute sou mòn Or la.
And Moses does as YHWH has commanded, and they go up to Mount Hor before the eyes of all the congregation,
28 Lèfini, Moyiz wete rad espesyal ki te sou Arawon yo, li mete yo sou Eleaza, pitit gason Arawon an. Se la sou tèt mòn lan Arawon mouri. Apre sa, Moyiz ak Eleaza desann desann yo sou mòn lan.
and Moses strips Aaron of his garments, and clothes his son Eleazar with them, and Aaron dies there on the top of the mountain; and Moses comes down—Eleazar also—from the mountain,
29 Tout pèp la vin konnen Arawon te mouri. Se konsa tout moun nan pèp Izrayèl la pase trant jou ap kriye pou Arawon.
and all the congregation sees that Aaron has expired, and all the house of Israel laments Aaron [for] thirty days.
