< Na Helu 20 >
1 A LAILA hele mai la ka poe mamo a Iseraela, o ke anaina kanaka a pau i ka waonahele o Zina, i ka malama mua: a noho iho la na kanaka ma Kadesa; malaila i make ai o Miriama, a ua kanuia iho la ia ma ia wahi.
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 Aohe wai ilaila no ke anaina kanaka: a hoakoakoa ae la lakou ia lakou iho, a ku e ia Mose laua me Aarona.
Now there was no water for the congregation, so they gathered against Moses and Aaron.
3 Hakaka ae la na kanaka me Mose, olelo ae la lakou penei, E aho ko makou make, i ka manawa i make ai na hoahanau o makou imua o Iehova!
The people quarreled with Moses and said, “If only we had perished with our brothers before the LORD!
4 No ke aha hoi olua i alakai mai nei i ke anaina kanaka o Iehova iloko o keia waonahele i make ai makou me na holoholona a makou?
Why have you brought the LORD’s assembly into this wilderness for us and our livestock to die here?
5 No ke aha la olua i hoohele mai nei ia makou mai Aigupita mai, e hookomo ai ia makou iloko o keia wahi ino? Aole keia he wahi no na anoano, aohe fiku, aole kumu waina, aole pomeraite, aole hoi wai e inu ai.
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 Hele aku la o Mose laua o Aarona mai ke alo o ke anaina kanaka aku a ka puka o ka halelewa o ke anaina, a moe iho la laua ilalo ke alo; a ikea mai la ka nani o Iehova ia laua.
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 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
And the LORD said to Moses,
8 E lawe oe i ke kookoo, a e hoakoakoa oe i ke anaina kanaka, o oe a me Aarona kou kaikuaana, a e olelo aku olua i ka pohaku imua o na maka o lakou; a e haawi mai ia i kona wai, a e lawe mai oe i ka wai no lakou mailoko mai o ka pohaku: a pela no oe e hooinu ai i ke anaina kanaka, a me ka lakou poe holoholona.
“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 Lawe aku la o Mose i ke kookoo mai ke alo o Iehova aku, e like me kana i kauoha mai ai ia ia.
So Moses took the staff from the LORD’s presence, just as he had been commanded.
10 Houluulu ae la o Mose laua o Aarona i ke anaina kanaka imua o ka pohaku, i aku la oia ia lakou, E hoolohe mai oukou, e ka poe kipi; pono anei no maua e hookahe iho i ka wai mailoko mai o keia pohaku?
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 Kaikai ae la o Mose i kona lima iluna, hahau iho la i ka pohaku, me kona kookoo, elua hahau ana; a kahe nui mai la ka wai: inu iho la ke anaina kanaka a me ko lakou poe holoholona.
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 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose a me Aarona, No ko olua manaoio ole mai ia'u, e hoauo mai ia'u imua o na mamo a Iseraela, nelaila, aole olua e kai aku i keia anaina kanaka i ka aina a'u i haawi aku ai no lakou.
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 O keia ka wai no Meriba; no ka mea, ua aaka mai na mamo a Iseraela me Iehova, a ua hoanoia oia ia lakou.
These were the waters of Meribah, where the Israelites quarreled with the LORD, and He showed His holiness among them.
14 Hoouna aku la o Mose i na elele mai Kadesa aku i ke alii o Edoma, Penei ka ka hoahanau ou, ka Iseraela e olelo aku nei, Ua ike no oe i ka luhi a pau i loaa ia makou;
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 I ka iho ana o ko makou poe kupuna ilalo i Aigupita, a he liuliu ko makou noho ana i Aigupita; a hoopilikia mai ko Aigupita ia makou a me ko makou poe kupuna.
how our fathers went down to Egypt, where we lived many years. The Egyptians mistreated us and our fathers,
16 A i a wa i hea aku ai makou ia Iehova, hoolohe mai la oia i ko makou leo, a hoouna mai la i anela, a ua hoopuka mai ia makou iwaho o Aigupita: eia hoi makou ma Kadesa nei, he kulanakauhale ma ke kihi loa o kou palena.
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 Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e ae mai oe ia makou e hele aku mawaena o kou aina: aole makou e hele mawaena o na mahinaai, aole hoi mawaena o na pawaina, aole hoi makou e inu i ka wai o na punawai; e hele no makou ma ke alaloa o ke alii, aole makou e kipa ma ka akau, aole hoi ma ka hema, a hala aku makou i na palena ou.
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 I mai la o Edoma ia ia, Mai hele ae oe ma o'u nei o hele aku au e ku e ia oe me ka pahikaua.
But Edom answered, “You may not travel through our land, or we will come out and confront you with the sword.”
19 I aku la ka poe mamo a Iseraela ia ia, E hele no makou ma ke alaloa, a iua e inu au a me ko'u poe holoholona i kou wai, alaila e uku aku no au ia mea: e hele wale no makou ma ko makou mau wawae, aole e hana i kekahi mea e ae.
“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 I mai la kela, Aole loa oe e hele mawaena mai. A puka mai la ko Edoma e ku e mai ia ia, me na kanaka he nui loa, a me ka lima ikaika.
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 Pela no o Edoma i hoole mai ai i ka haawi ana i alanui no ka Iseraela mawaena o kona palena: no ia mea, haliu ae la ka Iseraela mai ona aku la.
So Edom refused to allow Israel to pass through their territory, and Israel turned away from them.
22 Hele aku la na mamo a Iseraela, o ke anaina kanaka a pau, mai Kadesa aku a hiki i ke kuahiwi o Hora.
After they had set out from Kadesh, the whole congregation of Israel came to Mount Hor.
23 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose a me Aarona ma ke kuahiwi o Hora, ma ka palena aina o Edoma, i mai la,
And at Mount Hor, near the border of the land of Edom, the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
24 E hui pu ia'ku o Aarona me kona poe kanaka: aole ia e komo i ka aina a'u i haawi aku ai no na mamo a Iseraela, no ka mea, ua ku e mai olua i ka'u olelo ma ka wai Meriba.
“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 E lawe oe ia Aarona a me kana keiki o Eleazara, e kai aku ia laua maluna ma ko kuahiwi o Hora.
Take Aaron and his son Eleazar and bring them up Mount Hor.
26 E wehe ae i ka aahu o Aarona, a e hookomo i kana keiki ia Eleazara: a e hui pu ia'ku o Aarona, a e make no ia malaila.
Remove Aaron’s priestly garments and put them on his son Eleazar. Aaron will be gathered to his people and will die there.”
27 Hana iho la o Mose e like me ka Iehova i kauoha mai ai: a pii aku la laua ma ke kuahiwi o Hora imua o ke anaina kanaka a pau.
So Moses did as the LORD had commanded, and they climbed Mount Hor in the sight of the whole congregation.
28 Wehe ae la o Mose i na aahu o Aarona, a hoaahu ae la maluna o kana keiki o Eleazara: a make iho la o Aarona malaila ma kahi oi o ke kuahiwi: a iho iho la o Mose laua o Eleazara mai ke kuahiwi mai.
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 A ike aku la ke anaina kanaka a pau, na make o Aarona, kanikau iho la ka Iseraela a pau ia Aarona i na la he kanakolu.
When the whole congregation saw that Aaron had died, the entire house of Israel mourned for him thirty days.
