Bilangan 20

1 Dalam bulan satu seluruh umat Israel tiba di padang gurun Zin dan menetap di Kades. Miryam meninggal dan dikuburkan di situ.

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 Pada suatu waktu di tempat perkemahan mereka tidak ada air. Maka datanglah orang-orang itu mengerumuni Musa dan Harun

And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.

3 sambil mengomel, "Lebih baik sekiranya kami mati di hadapan TUHAN bersama-sama dengan saudara-saudara kami!

And the people find fault with Moses, and spoke, saying, Would God that we had died when our brethren died before the LORD!

4 Mengapa kamu membawa kami ke padang gurun ini? Apakah supaya kami mati di sini bersama-sama dengan ternak kami?

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

5 Untuk apa kamu membawa kami keluar dari Mesir ke tempat sengsara ini yang tidak bisa ditanami apa-apa? Di sini tak ada gandum, tak ada pohon ara, anggur, dan delima. Bahkan air minum pun tak ada!"

And wherefore have all of you 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 Musa dan Harun pergi menjauhi orang-orang itu lalu berdiri di dekat pintu Kemah TUHAN. Mereka sujud, lalu cahaya kehadiran TUHAN menyinari mereka.

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 TUHAN berkata kepada Musa,

And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

8 "Ambillah tongkat yang ada di depan Peti Perjanjian, lalu engkau dan Harun harus mengumpulkan seluruh umat. Di depan mereka semua, engkau harus berkata kepada bukit batu yang ada di situ supaya memancurkan air. Demikianlah engkau mengeluarkan air dari bukit batu itu supaya rakyat dan ternak mereka dapat minum."

Take the rod, and gather you the assembly together, you, and Aaron your brother, and speak all of you unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and you shall bring forth to them water out of the rock: so you shall give the congregation and their beasts drink.

9 Maka pergilah Musa mengambil tongkat itu seperti yang diperintahkan TUHAN.

And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him.

10 Musa dan Harun mengumpulkan seluruh umat di depan bukit batu itu. Lalu Musa berkata, "Dengarlah, hai kaum pemberontak! Apakah kami harus mengeluarkan air dari bukit batu ini untuk kamu?"

And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, all of you rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?

11 Lalu Musa mengangkat tongkat itu dan memukulkannya pada bukit batu itu dua kali. Maka mancurlah air dengan derasnya, sehingga semua orang dan ternak bisa minum.

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

12 Tetapi TUHAN menegur Musa dan Harun, kata-Nya, "Karena kamu kurang percaya kepada-Ku untuk menyatakan kuasa-Ku yang suci di depan bangsa Israel, kamu tidak akan memimpin mereka masuk ke negeri yang Kujanjikan kepada mereka."

And the LORD spoke unto Moses and Aaron, Because all of you believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore all of you shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.

13 Itulah mata air Meriba. Di tempat itu orang-orang Israel mengomel terhadap TUHAN, dan di situ juga TUHAN menunjukkan kuasa-Nya yang suci kepada bangsa itu.

This is the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them.

14 Kemudian dari Kades, Musa mengirim utusan-utusan untuk menghadap raja Edom. Kata mereka, "Kami dari suku-suku Israel yang masih ada hubungan saudara dengan Tuanku. Tuanku mungkin tahu kesusahan yang menimpa kami.

And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom, Thus says your brother Israel, You know all the travail that has befallen us:

15 Nenek moyang kami pergi ke Mesir dan menetap di sana bertahun-tahun lamanya. Leluhur kami dan kami diperlakukan tidak baik oleh bangsa Mesir,

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 dan kami berseru kepada TUHAN minta tolong. Ia mendengar seruan kami dan mengutus seorang malaikat. Malaikat itu memimpin kami keluar dari tanah Mesir. Sekarang kami berada di Kades, sebuah kota di perbatasan wilayah Tuanku.

And when we cried unto the LORD, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and has brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of your border:

17 Kami mohon kiranya Tuanku sudi mengizinkan kami melalui negeri ini. Kami dan ternak kami tidak akan menyimpang dari jalanan dan tidak akan masuk ke ladang-ladang atau kebun-kebun anggur. Kami tidak akan minum air dari sumur-sumur Tuanku. Kami akan berjalan di jalan raya saja sampai kami keluar dari daerah Tuanku."

Let us pass, I pray you, through your 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 your borders.

18 Tetapi orang Edom menjawab, "Kamu tidak kami izinkan melalui wilayah kami. Kalau kamu nekat, kami akan menyerang kamu!"

And Edom said unto him, You shall not pass by me, lest I come out against you with the sword.

19 Orang Israel berkata, "Kami akan berjalan melalui jalan raya, dan kalau kami atau ternak kami minum airmu, kami akan membayar. Kami hanya ingin lewat."

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

20 Orang Edom berkata lagi, "Tidak boleh!" Lalu mereka keluar dengan tentara yang kuat untuk menyerang bangsa Israel.

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

21 Maka orang Israel berbalik dan mencari jalan lain sebab tidak diizinkan orang Edom melalui daerah mereka.

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

22 Seluruh umat Israel meninggalkan Kades lalu tiba di Gunung Hor,

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

23 di perbatasan Edom. Di situ TUHAN berkata kepada Musa dan Harun,

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

24 "Harun tidak akan masuk ke negeri yang sudah Kujanjikan kepada bangsa Israel; ia akan mati karena kamu berdua telah melawan perintah-Ku di dekat mata air Meriba.

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 all of you rebelled against my word at the water of Meribah.

25 Bawalah Harun dan Eleazar, anaknya, naik ke Gunung Hor.

Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto mount Hor:

26 Tanggalkanlah pakaian Harun dan kenakanlah pada Eleazar. Harun akan mati di tempat itu."

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 Musa melakukan apa yang diperintahkan TUHAN. Musa, Harun dan Eleazar mendaki Gunung Hor disaksikan oleh seluruh umat.

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

28 Lalu Musa menanggalkan pakaian Harun dan mengenakannya pada Eleazar. Di puncak gunung itu Harun meninggal, kemudian Musa dan Eleazar turun kembali.

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 Seluruh umat mendengar bahwa Harun sudah meninggal, dan mereka semua berkabung untuk dia tiga puluh hari lamanya.

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