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.

Then came the children of Israel, [even] the whole congregation, into the desert of Zin in the first month: and the people abode in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there.

2 Pa t gen dlo pou kongregasyon an, e yo te vin reyini yo menm kont Moïse avèk Aaron.

And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against 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 the people chode with Moses, and spake, saying, Would God that we had died when our brethren died 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?

And why have ye brought up the congregation of the LORD into this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there?

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.”

And wherefore have ye made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in unto 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 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 went from the presence of the assembly unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon their faces: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto them.

7 Konsa, SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse e te di:

And the LORD spake unto 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 thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink.

9 Konsa, Moïse te pran baton an soti devan SENYÈ a, jis jan ke Li te kòmande li a.

And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded 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 Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch 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.

And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts [also].

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 spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which 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.

This [ is] the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with 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;

And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom, Thus saith thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the travail that hath 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 into Egypt, and we have dwelt in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians vexed 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 unto the LORD, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and hath brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold, we [are] in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border:

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.”

Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy country: we will not pass through the fields, or through the vineyards, neither will we drink [of] the water of the wells: we will go by the king’s [high] way, we will not turn to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy borders.

18 “‘Men Édom te di li: “Ou p ap pase sou nou; sinon, mwen ap vini kont nou avèk nepe.”’”

And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come out against thee 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.’”

And the children of Israel said unto him, We will go by the high way: and if I and my cattle drink of thy water, then I will pay for it: I will only, without [doing] any thing [else], go through on my feet.

20 Men li te di: “Ou p ap pase ladann.” Epi Édom te sòti kont li avèk yon gwo fòs ak yon men pwisan.

And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand.

21 Konsa, Édom te refize kite Israël pase nan teritwa pa li a. Pou sa Israël te vire kite li.

Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border: wherefore Israel turned away from him.

22 Alò, yo te sòti Kadès, epi fis Israël yo ak tout kongregasyon an te vini nan Mòn Hor.

And the children of Israel, [even] the whole congregation, journeyed from Kadesh, and came unto mount Hor.

23 SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse ak Aaron nan Mòn Hor akote fwontyè Édom an. Li te di:

And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the coast of the land of Edom, saying,

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 shall be gathered unto his people: for he shall not enter into the land which I have given unto the children of Israel, because ye rebelled against my word at the water of Meribah.

25 Pran Aaron avèk fis li a, Éléazar e mennen yo nan Mòn Hor.

Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto 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 strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son: and Aaron shall be gathered [unto his people], 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.

And Moses did as the LORD commanded: and they went up into mount Hor in the sight of all the 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.

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 from the mount.

29 Lè tout kongregasyon an te wè ke Aaron te mouri, tout lakay Israël te kriye pou Aaron pandan trantjou.

And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they mourned for Aaron thirty days, [even] all the house of Israel.
