Ọnụọgụgụ 20
1 Ụmụ Izrel, bụ nzukọ ahụ niile rutere nʼọzara Zin nʼọnwa nke mbụ. Ha manyere ụlọ ha na Kadesh. Ọ bụkwa nʼebe ahụ ka Miriam nwụrụ. E lie ya.
And the children of Israel, and all the multitude came into the desert of Sin, in the first month: and the people abode in Cades. And Mary died there, and was buried in the same place.
2 Ma mmiri ọṅụṅụ adịghị nye ndị nzukọ ahụ. Ya mere na ha gbakọtara imegide Mosis na Erọn.
And the people wanting water, came together against Moses and Aaron:
3 Ha sesịrị Mosis okwu sị, “Ọ gaara akara anyị mma ma a sị na anyị nwụrụ mgbe ụmụnna anyị nwụrụ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.
And making a sedition, they said: Would God we had perished among our brethren before the Lord.
4 Gịnị mere i ji kpọbata ọgbakọ nke Onyenwe anyị nʼime ọzara a, ime ka anyị na anụ ụlọ anyị niile nwụọ nʼebe a?
Why have you brought out the church of the Lord into the wilderness, that both we and our cattle should die?
5 Gịnị mere i ji si nʼala Ijipt kpọpụta anyị, kpọbata anyị nʼebe ọjọọ a? O nweghị mkpụrụ ọghịgha maọbụ fiig, enweghị mkpụrụ vaịnị maọbụ mkpụrụ pomegranet. Ọ dịghị mmiri dị nke ha ga-aṅụ.”
Why have you made us come up out of Egypt, and have brought us into this wretched place which cannot be sowed, nor bringeth forth figs, nor vines, nor pomegranates, neither is there any water to drink?
6 Mosis na Erọn si nʼebe ọgbakọ ahụ nọ tụgharịa gaa nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute, daa kpụọ ihu ha nʼala. E mee ka ha hụ ebube Onyenwe anyị anya.
And Moses and Aaron leaving the multitude, went into the tabernacle of the covenant, and fell flat upon the ground, and cried to the Lord, and said: O Lord God, hear the cry of this people, and open to them thy treasure, a fountain of living water, that being satisfied, they may cease to murmur. And the glory of the Lord appeared over them.
7 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
8 “Were mkpara ahụ, gị na nwanne gị Erọn kpọkọta nzukọ Izrel niile. Gwa nkume ahụ okwu nʼihu ha, ọ ga-asọpụta mmiri ya. Unu ga-eme ka mmiri si na nkume ahụ sọpụta nye ọgbakọ ahụ, ka ha na igwe anụ ụlọ ha, ṅụọ mmiri.”
Take the rod, and assemble the people together, thou and Aaron thy brother, and speak to the rock before them, and it shall yield waters. And when thou hast brought forth water out of the rock, all the multitude and their cattle shall drink.
9 Ya mere Mosis sitere nʼihu Onyenwe anyị weere mkpara ahụ dịka iwu Onyenwe anyị nyere ya si dị.
Moses therefore took the rod, which was before the Lord, as he had commanded him,
10 Emesịa, Mosis na Erọn kpọkọtara ụmụ Izrel niile nʼihu nkume ahụ. Mgbe ha bịaruru nso, Mosis gwara ha okwu sị ha, “Geenụ ntị unu ndị nnupu isi! Ọ bụ site na nkume a ka anyị ga-enye unu mmiri?”
And having gathered together the multitude before the rock, he said to them: Hear, ye rebellious and incredulous: Can we bring you forth water out of this rock?
11 Mgbe ahụ Mosis weliri aka ya elu jiri mkpara ahụ tie nkume ahụ ugboro abụọ. Mmiri sitere na ya sọpụta. Ọgbakọ Izrel niile na igwe anụ ụlọ ha ṅụkwara mmiri.
And when Moses had lifted up his hand, and struck the rock twice with the rod, there came forth water in great abundance, so that the people and their cattle drank,
12 Ma Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis na Erọn okwu sị, “Ebe ọ bụ na unu jụrụ ikwenye nʼokwu m, jụkwa ido m nsọ nʼihu ndị Izrel niile, unu agaghị edubata ọgbakọ ndị a nʼala ahụ m na-aga inye ha.”
And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron: Because you have not believed me, to sanctify me before the children of Israel, you shall not bring these people into the land, which I will give them.
13 A kpọrọ ebe ahụ mmiri Meriba, nʼihi na ọ bụ nʼebe ahụ ka Izrel wesoro Onyenwe anyị iwe. O gosikwara ha ịdị nsọ ya.
This is the Water of contradiction, where the children of Israel strove with words against the Lord, and he was sanctified in them.
14 Mosis sitere nʼọzara Kadesh, zipụ ndị ozi ka ha gakwuru eze Edọm, sị ya, “Otu a ka nwanne gị bụ Izrel na-ekwu: Ị nụla akụkọ ihe nhụju anya niile dakwasịrị anyị.
In the mean time Moses sent messengers from Cades to the king of Edom, to say: Thus saith thy brother Israel: Thou knowest all the labour that hath come upon us:
15 Nna anyị gara biri nʼala Ijipt. Anyị biri nʼebe ahụ ọtụtụ afọ. Ndị Ijipt mekpara anyị na nna nna anyị ha ahụ.
In what manner our fathers went down into Egypt, and there we dwelt a long time, and the Egyptians afflicted us and our fathers.
16 Ma mgbe anyị tikuru Onyenwe anyị mkpu akwa, ọ nụrụ akwa anyị, zitere anyị mmụọ ozi ya, onye dupụtara anyị site nʼala Ijipt. “Ugbu a, anyị nọ na Kadesh obodo dị nso nʼoke ala gị.
And how we cried to the Lord, and he heard us, and sent an angel, who hath brought us out of Egypt. Lo, we are now in the city of Cades, which is in the uttermost of thy borders,
17 Biko kwere ka anyị si nʼala gị gafee. Anyị ga-akpachara anya hụ na anyị esiteghị nʼubi ihe ọkụkụ gị maọbụ nʼubi vaịnị gị gafee. Anyị agaghị aṅụ mmiri ọbụla site nʼolulu mmiri gị. Anyị ga-anọgide naanị nʼokporoụzọ eze. Anyị agaghị ahapụ ya, chee ihu akụkụ aka nri maọbụ aka ekpe, tutu ruo mgbe anyị gafechara oke ala gị.”
And we beseech thee that we may have leave to pass through thy country. We will not go through the fields, nor through the vineyards, we will not drink the waters of thy wells, but we will go by the common highway, neither turning aside to the right hand, nor to the left, till we are past thy borders.
18 Ma eze Edọm zara sị, “Unu amanyela ụkwụ; ọ bụrụ na unu anwaa anwa bata nʼala m, aga m eji ndị agha m zute unu.”
And Edom answered them: Thou shalt not pass by me: if thou dost I will come out armed against thee.
19 Ma ndị Izrel zara ozi o ziri sị ya, “Ọ bụ naanị nʼokporoụzọ ka anyị ga-esi gafee. Ọ bụrụ na anyị maọbụ anụ ụlọ anyị a ṅụọ mmiri dị nʼala gị, anyị ga-akwụ ọnụahịa ya. Naanị mkpa anyị bụ ịgafe. Ọ dịghị ihe ọzọ anyị chọrọ.”
And the children of Israel said: We will go by the beaten way: and if we and our cattle drink of thy waters, we will give thee what is just: there shall be no difficulty in the price, only let us pass speedily.
20 Ma eze Edọm aṅaghị ntị, ọ gwaghere ha ọnụ sị, “Unu agaghị esite nʼala gabiga.” Edọm chịkọtara ọtụtụ ndị agha dị ike duru ha pụọ ịga izute ha.
But he answered: Thou shalt not pass. And immediately he came forth to meet them with an infinite multitude, and a strong hand,
21 Ebe ọ bụ na ndị Edọm ekweghị ka ndị Izrel si nʼoke ala ha gafee, ndị Izrel tụgharịrị azụ hapụ isi ụzọ ahụ.
Neither would he condescend to their desire to grant them passage through his borders. Wherefore Israel turned another way from him.
22 Ọgbakọ Izrel niile sitere na Kadesh bulie ije gagide rute nʼugwu Hor.
And when they had removed the camp from Cades, they came to mount Her, which is in the borders of the land of Edom:
23 Nʼugwu Hor, nʼoke ala Edọm, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis na Erọn okwu sị ha,
Where the Lord spoke to Moses:
24 “Oge eruola mgbe Erọn ga-anwụ. Ọ gaghị abanye nʼala ahụ m nyere ụmụ Izrel, nʼihi na unu abụọ nupuru isi nʼiwu m na mmiri Meriba.
Let Aaron, saith he, go to his people: for he shall not go into the land which I have given the children of Israel, because he was incredulous to my words, at the waters of contradiction.
25 Ugbu a, kpọrọ Erọn na nwa ya nwoke Elieza, duru ha gaa nʼugwu Hor.
Take Aaron and his son with him, and bring them up into mount Hor:
26 Nʼebe ahụ ka ị ga-eyipụ Erọn uwe onye nchụaja o yi, yikwasị ha Elieza nwa ya nwoke. Ọ bụkwa nʼebe ahụ ka Erọn ga-anọ nwụọ.”
And when thou hast stripped the father of his vesture, thou shalt vest therewith Eleazar his son: Aaron shall be gathered to his people, and die there.
27 Ya mere Mosis mere dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere ya iwu. Ha atọ rigoro nʼugwu Hor mgbe nzukọ Izrel niile nọ na-ele ha anya.
Moses did as the Lord had commanded: and they went up into mount Hor before all the multitude.
28 Mgbe ha ruru nʼelu ugwu ahụ, Mosis yipụrụ Erọn uwe onye nchụaja ya yikwasị ha nwa ya nwoke Elieza. Erọn nọkwa nʼebe ahụ, nʼelu ugwu ahụ nwụọ. Emesịa, Mosis na Elieza tụgharịrị site nʼugwu ahụ lọghachi.
And when he had stripped Aaron of his vestments, he vested Eleazar his son with them. And Aaron being dead in the top of the mountain, he came down with Eleazar.
29 Mgbe ọgbakọ Izrel nụrụ ihe banyere ọnwụ Erọn ha ruru ụjụ nʼihi ya iri ụbọchị atọ.
And all the multitude seeing that Aaron was dead, mourned for him thirty days throughout all their families.
