Bilangan 20

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

And the children of Israel, [even] the whole congregation, came into the wilderness of Sin, in the first month, and the people abode in Cades; and Mariam 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 Aaron.

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

And the people reviled Moses, saying, Would we had died in the destruction of our brethren before the Lord!

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

And therefore have you brought up the congregation of the Lord into this wilderness, to kill us and our cattle?

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 therefore [is] this? You have brought us up out of Egypt, that we should come into this evil place; a place where there is no sowing, neither figs, nor vines, nor pomegranates, neither is there 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 before the assembly to the door of the tabernacle of witness, and they fell upon their faces; and the glory of the Lord appeared to them.

7 TUHAN berkata kepada Musa,

And the Lord spoke to 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 your rod, and call the assembly, you and Aaron your brother, and speak you to the rock before them, and it shall give forth its waters; and you shall bring forth for them water out of the rock, and give drink to the congregation and their cattle.

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

And Moses took his rod which was before the Lord, as the Lord commanded.

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 assembled the congregation before the rock, and said to them, Hear me, you disobedient ones; must we bring 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 struck the rock with his rod twice; and much water came forth, and the congregation drank, and their cattle.

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 said to Moses and Aaron, Because you have not believed me to sanctify me before the children of Israel, therefore 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 Strife, because the children of Israel spoke insolently before 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 Cades to the king of Edom, saying, Thus says your brother Israel; You know all the distress that has come upon 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,

And [how] our fathers went down into Egypt, and we sojourned in Egypt many days, and the Egyptians afflicted 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 we cried to the Lord, and the Lord heard our voice, and sent an angel and brought us out of Egypt; and now we are in the city of Cades, at the extremity of your coasts.

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."

We will pass through your land: we will not go through the fields, nor through the vineyards, nor will we drink water out of your cistern: we will go by the king's highway; we will not turn aside to the right hand or 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 to him, You shall not pass through me, and if otherwise, I will go forth to meet you in war.

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 say to him, We will pass by the mountain; and if I and my cattle drink of your water, I will pay you: but it is no matter of importance, we will go by the mountain.

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

And he said, You shall not pass through me; and Edom went forth to meet him with a great host, and a mighty hand.

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

So Edom refused to allow Israel to pass through his borders, and Israel turned away from him.

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

And they departed from Cades; and the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came to Mount Or.

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

And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron in mount Or, on the borders 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.

Let Aaron be added to his people; for you shall certainly not go into the land which I have given the children of Israel, because you provoked me at the water of strife.

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

Take Aaron, and Eleazar his son, and bring them up to the mount Or before all the congregation;

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

and take Aaron's apparel from off him, and put it on Eleazar his son: and let Aaron die there and be added to [his people].

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 him, and took him up to mount Or, before 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 he took Aaron's garments off him, and put them on Eleazar his son, and Aaron died on the top of the mountain; and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.

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

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