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.
And the sons of Israel, and the entire multitude, went into the desert of Sin, in the first month. And the people stayed at Kadesh. And Miriam died there, and she was buried in the same place.
2 Pa t gen dlo pou kongregasyon an, e yo te vin reyini yo menm kont Moïse avèk Aaron.
And when the people were in need of water, they came together 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!
And as it turned into sedition, they said: “If only we had perished among our brothers in the sight of 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 led away the Church of the Lord, into the wilderness, so that both we and our cattle would die?
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 did you cause us to ascend from Egypt, and why have you led us into this most wretched place, which is not able to be sown, which does not produce figs, or vines, or pomegranates, and which, moreover, does not even have 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.
And Moses and Aaron, dismissing the multitude, entered the tabernacle of the covenant, and they fell prone on the ground, and they cried out to the Lord, and they said: “O Lord God, listen to the outcry of this people, and open for them, from your storehouse, a fountain of living water, so that, being satisfied, their murmuring may cease.” And the glory of the Lord appeared over them.
7 Konsa, SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse e te di:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
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 rod, and gather the people, you and your brother Aaron, and speak to the rock before them, and it shall bestow waters. And when you have brought forth water from the rock, the entire multitude and their cattle shall drink.”
9 Konsa, Moïse te pran baton an soti devan SENYÈ a, jis jan ke Li te kòmande li a.
Therefore, Moses took the rod, which was in the sight of the Lord, just as he had instructed him.
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?”
And having gathered the multitude before the rock, he said to them: “Listen, you who are rebellious and unbelieving. Would we be able to cast out water from 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.
And when Moses had lifted up his hand, striking the stone twice with the rod, very great waters went forth, so much so that the people and their cattle 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.”
And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not believe me, so as to sanctify me before the sons of Israel, you shall not lead this people into the land, which I will give to 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.
This is the Water of Contradiction, where the sons of Israel were quarreling against the Lord, and he was sanctified in 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;
Meanwhile, Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom. They said: “Your brother Israel says this: You know of all the hardships which have overtaken 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 descended into Egypt, and we lived there for a long time, and the Egyptians afflicted both 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 how we cried out to the Lord, and he heeded us and sent an Angel, who led us away from Egypt. Behold, we are situated in the city of Kadesh, which is at the extremity of your borders.
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.”
And we beg you to permit us to cross through your land. We will not go through the fields, nor through the vineyards; we will not drink the waters of your wells, but we will travel by the public ways, neither turning aside to the right, nor to the left, until we have passed your borders.”
18 “‘Men Édom te di li: “Ou p ap pase sou nou; sinon, mwen ap vini kont nou avèk nepe.”’”
Edom responded to them: “You shall not cross through me, otherwise, I will meet you armed.”
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.’”
And the sons of Israel said: “We will travel by the well-trodden path. And if we or our cattle drink from your waters, we will give you what is just. There shall be no difficulty in the price, only let us cross through quickly.”
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 he answered, “You shall not cross.” And immediately he went out to meet them with a countless multitude and a strong hand;
21 Konsa, Édom te refize kite Israël pase nan teritwa pa li a. Pou sa Israël te vire kite li.
neither was he willing to agree to their petition to concede passage through his borders. For this reason, Israel diverted away from him.
22 Alò, yo te sòti Kadès, epi fis Israël yo ak tout kongregasyon an te vini nan Mòn Hor.
And when they had moved the camp from Kadesh, they arrived at mount Hor, which is at the borders of the land of Edom,
23 SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse ak Aaron nan Mòn Hor akote fwontyè Édom an. Li te di:
where the Lord spoke to Moses:
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.
“Let Aaron,” he said, “go to his people. For he shall not enter into the land which I have given to the sons of Israel, because he did not believe my mouth at the Waters of Contradiction.
25 Pran Aaron avèk fis li a, Éléazar e mennen yo nan Mòn Hor.
Take Aaron, and his son with him, and lead them on to 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.”
And when you have stripped the father of his vestments, you shall put them on Eleazar, his son. Aaron shall be gathered and shall 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.
Moses did just as the Lord had instructed. And they ascended mount Hor, in the sight of the entire multitude.
28 Lè Moïse te fin retire vètman yo sou Aaron, li te mete yo sou Éléazar. Aaron te mouri la sou tèt mòn nan.
And when he had despoiled Aaron of his vestments, he clothed his son Eleazar with them. And when Aaron had died at the top of the mountain, Moses came down with Eleazar.
29 Lè tout kongregasyon an te wè ke Aaron te mouri, tout lakay Israël te kriye pou Aaron pandan trantjou.
And the entire multitude, seeing that Aaron lay dead, wept over him for thirty days, throughout all their families.
