Resansman 20
1 Konsa, fis Israël yo, tout kongregasyon an, te vini nan dezè a Tsin nan, nan premye mwa a. Pèp la te rete Kadès. Alò, Marie te mouri e li te antere la.
In the first month, the whole congregation of Israel entered the Wilderness of Zin and stayed in Kadesh. There Miriam died and was buried.
2 Pa t gen dlo pou kongregasyon an, e yo te vin reyini yo menm kont Moïse avèk Aaron.
Now there was no water for the congregation, so they gathered against Moses and Aaron.
3 Konsa, pèp la te fè kont avèk Moïse e te pale pou di: “Si sèlman nou te mouri lè frè nou yo te mouri devan SENYÈ a!
The people quarreled with Moses and said, “If only we had perished with our brothers before the LORD!
4 Epi poukisa ou te mennen asanble SENYÈ a antre nan dezè sila a, pou nou menm avèk bèt nou yo vin mouri isit la?
Why have you brought the LORD’s assembly into this wilderness for us and our livestock to die here?
5 Poukisa ou te fè nou sòti an Égypte pou mennen nou kote mechan sila a? Se pa yon kote ki gen, ni fig, ni grenad, ni pa gen dlo pou bwè.”
Why have you led us up out of Egypt to bring us to this wretched place? It is not a place of grain, figs, vines, or pomegranates—and there is no water to drink!”
6 Moïse avèk Aaron te sòti nan prezans asanble a nan pòtay tant asanble a, e yo te tonbe sou figi yo. Alò, glwa a SENYÈ a te vin parèt a yo menm.
Then Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. They fell facedown, and the glory of the LORD appeared to them.
7 Konsa, SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse e te di:
And the LORD said to Moses,
8 “Pran baton an. Ou menm avèk frè ou a, Aaron, rasanble kongregasyon an e pale avèk wòch la devan zye yo, pou li kapab bay dlo pa li. Konsa, ou va fè dlo parèt pou yo sòti nan wòch la e kite kongregasyon an avèk bèt yo bwè.”
“Take the staff and assemble the congregation. You and your brother Aaron are to speak to the rock while they watch, and it will pour out its water. You will bring out water from the rock and provide drink for the congregation and their livestock.”
9 Konsa, Moïse te pran baton an soti devan SENYÈ a, jis jan ke Li te kòmande li a.
So Moses took the staff from the LORD’s presence, just as he had been commanded.
10 Epi Moïse avèk Aaron te reyini asanble a devan wòch la. Li te di yo: “Koute m koulye a, nou menm k ap fè rebèl; èske n ap fè dlo sòti nan wòch sila a?”
Then Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly in front of the rock, and Moses said to them, “Listen now, you rebels, must we bring you water out of this rock?”
11 Epi Moïse te leve men li e li te frape wòch la de fwa avèk baton an. Dlo te sòti an kantite, e kongregasyon an avèk bèt pa yo te bwè.
Then Moses raised his hand and struck the rock twice with his staff, so that a great amount of water gushed out, and the congregation and their livestock were able to drink.
12 Men SENYÈ a te di a Moïse avèk Aaron: “Akoz ke nou pa kwè M, pou trete m tankou sen devan fis Israël yo; pou sa, nou p ap mennen asanble sila a antre nan peyi ke M te bay yo a.”
But the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not trust Me to show My holiness in the sight of the Israelites, you will not bring this assembly into the land that I have given them.”
13 Sa yo se te dlo a Meriba yo, akoz fis a Israël yo te fè kont avèk SENYÈ a, e Li te fè prèv sentete Li pami yo.
These were the waters of Meribah, where the Israelites quarreled with the LORD, and He showed His holiness among them.
14 Soti nan Kadès, Moïse te voye mesaj vè wa Édom an: “Konsa frè ou a, Israël te pale: ‘Ou konnen tout traka ki gen tan pran nou;
From Kadesh, Moses sent messengers to tell the king of Edom, “This is what your brother Israel says: You know all the hardship that has befallen us,
15 ke zansèt nou yo te desann an Égypte, e ke nou te rete an Égypte pandan anpil tan, e ke Ejipsyen yo te maltrete nou anpil.
how our fathers went down to Egypt, where we lived many years. The Egyptians mistreated us and our fathers,
16 Men lè nou te kriye fò bay SENYÈ a, Li te tande vwa nou. Li te voye yon zanj pou te mennen nou sòti an Égypte. Alò, gade byen, nou rive Kadès, yon vil nan fwontyè teritwa pa nou an.
and when we cried out to the LORD, He heard our voice, sent an angel, and brought us out of Egypt. Now look, we are in Kadesh, a city on the edge of your territory.
17 “Souple, kite nou pase nan peyi pa nou an. Nou p ap pase nan chan yo oswa nan rezen yo. Nou p ap menm bwè dlo nan yon pwi. Nou va ale bò kote chemen wa a, san vire ni adwat, ni agoch jiskaske nou fin pase nan tout teritwa nou an.”
Please let us pass through your land. We will not cut through any field or vineyard, or drink water from any well. We will stay on the King’s Highway; we will not turn to the right or to the left until we have passed through your territory.”
18 “‘Men Édom te di li: “Ou p ap pase sou nou; sinon, mwen ap vini kont nou avèk nepe.”’”
But Edom answered, “You may not travel through our land, or we will come out and confront you with the sword.”
19 “Ankò, fis Israël yo te di li: ‘Nou va monte vè chemen an, e si Mwen avèk bèt mwen yo bwè nan dlo nou an; alò, m ap peye pri li. Kite mwen sèlman pase ladann a pye, anyen anplis.’”
“We will stay on the main road,” the Israelites replied, “and if we or our herds drink your water, we will pay for it. There will be no problem; only let us pass through on foot.”
20 Men li te di: “Ou p ap pase ladann.” Epi Édom te sòti kont li avèk yon gwo fòs ak yon men pwisan.
But Edom insisted, “You may not pass through.” And they came out to confront the Israelites with a large army and a strong hand.
21 Konsa, Édom te refize kite Israël pase nan teritwa pa li a. Pou sa Israël te vire kite li.
So Edom refused to allow Israel to pass through their territory, and Israel turned away from them.
22 Alò, yo te sòti Kadès, epi fis Israël yo ak tout kongregasyon an te vini nan Mòn Hor.
After they had set out from Kadesh, the whole congregation of Israel came to Mount Hor.
23 SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse ak Aaron nan Mòn Hor akote fwontyè Édom an. Li te di:
And at Mount Hor, near the border of the land of Edom, the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
24 “Aaron va rasanble vè pèp li a; paske li pa pou antre nan peyi ke Mwen te bay a fis Israël yo, akoz nou te vin rebèl kont kòmand Mwen nan dlo a Meriba yo.
“Aaron will be gathered to his people; he will not enter the land that I have given the Israelites, because both of you rebelled against My command at the waters of Meribah.
25 Pran Aaron avèk fis li a, Éléazar e mennen yo nan Mòn Hor.
Take Aaron and his son Eleazar and bring them up Mount Hor.
26 Retire tout vètman yo sou Aaron e mete yo sou fis li a, Éléazar. Konsa, Aaron va rasanble vè pèp li a, e li va mouri la.”
Remove Aaron’s priestly garments and put them on his son Eleazar. Aaron will be gathered to his people and will die there.”
27 Konsa Moïse te fè selon SENYÈ a te kòmande a. Yo te monte vè Mòn Hor devan zye a tout kongregasyon an.
So Moses did as the LORD had commanded, and they climbed Mount Hor in the sight of the whole congregation.
28 Lè Moïse te fin retire vètman yo sou Aaron, li te mete yo sou Éléazar. Aaron te mouri la sou tèt mòn nan.
After Moses had removed Aaron’s garments and put them on his son Eleazar, Aaron died there on top of the mountain. Then Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.
29 Lè tout kongregasyon an te wè ke Aaron te mouri, tout lakay Israël te kriye pou Aaron pandan trantjou.
When the whole congregation saw that Aaron had died, the entire house of Israel mourned for him thirty days.
