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'.
Then came the sons of Israel the whole assembly, into the desert of Zin in the first month, and the people dwelt in Kadesh, —and Miriam died there, and was 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 was no water for the assembly, —so they gathered together 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 contended with Moses, —and spake saying, Would then we had died when our brethren died, before Yahweh!
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?
Wherefore then hast thou brought the convocation of Yahweh into this desert, —to die there, we, and our cattle?
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 wherefore did ye cause us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us into this wretched place?—not a place of seeds, and figs, and vines and pomegranates, even water, is there none 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 went in from the presence of the multitude unto the entrance of the tent of meeting, and fell upon their faces, —and the glory of Yahweh appeared unto them.
7 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
Then spake Yahweh unto 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 staff and gather together the assembly, thou, and Aaron thy brother, then shall ye speak unto the cliff before their eyes and it shall give forth its waters, —so shalt thou bring forth unto them water, out of the cliff, and shalt cause the assembly, and their cattle to drink.
9 Moyiz pran baton ki sou devan lotèl la, jan Seyè a te ba li lòd la.
And Moses took the staff from before Yahweh, —as he 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 gathered together the convocation before the cliff, —and he said unto them: Hear I pray you ye rebels! Out of this cliff, must we bring forth for you water?
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 lifted high his hand and smote the cliff with his staff, twice, —and there came forth water in abundance, and the assembly and their cattle, did 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.
Then said Yahweh unto Moses and unto Aaron, Because ye believed not in me, to hallow me in the eyes of the sons of Israel, therefore, shall ye not bring in this convocation into the land which I have given unto 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.
The same, were the waters of Meribah [that is "Contention"] in that the sons of Israel contended with Yahweh, —and so he hallowed himself 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 sent messengers from Kadesh, unto the king of Edom, —Thus, saith thy brother Israel, Thou thyself, knowest all the distress which befell 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.
and how our fathers went down to Egypt, and we abode in Egypt, many days, and that the Egyptians ill-treated us, and 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.
and we made outcry unto Yahweh, and he heard our voice, and sent a messenger, and brought us forth out of Egypt, —lo! then, we, are in Kadesh, a city at the extremity of thy boundary,
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.
Let us, we pray thee, pass through thy land—we will not pass through field or vineyard, nor will we drink the waters of a well, —by the king’s road, will we go—we will turn neither to the right hand nor to the left, until we get through thy boundary.
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 said unto him, Thou shalt not pass through my land, —lest with the sword, I come out to meet thee.
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 said unto him—By the highway, will we go up, and if thy waters, we should drink—I, and my cattle then would I give the price thereof, —only—it is nothing!—with my feet, would I pass through.
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 said, Thou shalt not pass through. And Edom came out to meet him, with a strong people, and with a firm 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.
Thus did Edom refuse to give Israel passage through his boundary, —and Israel turned away from him.
22 Tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo kite Kadès, yo rive sou Mòn Or la,
Then set they forward from Kadesh, —and the sons of Israel. all the assembly, came in 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:
Then spake Yahweh unto Moses and unto Aaron in Mount Hor, —near the boundary 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 shall be withdrawn unto his kinsfolk, for he shall not enter into the land. which I have given unto the sons of Israel, —because ye spurned my bidding, at the waters of Meribah.
25 Pran Arawon ak Eleaza, pitit gason l' lan, moute sou mòn Or la ak yo.
Take thou Aaron, and Eleazar his son, —and bring them 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 thou Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son, —and, Aaron, shall be withdrawn and shall die 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 did as Yahweh commanded, —and they went up into, Mount Hor, in sight of all the assembly.
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 stripped Aaron of his garments and put them upon Eleazar his son, and Aaron died there, in the top of the mount, —and Moses and Eleazar came down out of the mount.
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 assembly saw that Aaron was dead; and they bewailed Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.
