Bilangan 20
1 Dalam bulan satu seluruh umat Israel tiba di padang gurun Zin dan menetap di Kades. Miryam meninggal dan dikuburkan di situ.
The children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came into the wilderness of Zin in the first month. The people stayed in Kadesh. 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
There was no water for the congregation; and they assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.
3 sambil mengomel, "Lebih baik sekiranya kami mati di hadapan TUHAN bersama-sama dengan saudara-saudara kami!
The people quarrelled with Moses, and spoke, saying, “We wish that we had died when our brothers died before the LORD!
4 Mengapa kamu membawa kami ke padang gurun ini? Apakah supaya kami mati di sini bersama-sama dengan ternak kami?
Why have you brought the LORD’s assembly into this wilderness, that we should die there, we and our animals?
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!"
Why have you made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in to 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.
Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and fell on their faces. The LORD’s glory appeared to them.
7 TUHAN berkata kepada Musa,
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 the rod, and assemble the congregation, you, and Aaron your brother, and speak to the rock before their eyes, that it pour out its water. You shall bring water to them out of the rock; so you shall give the congregation and their livestock drink.”
9 Maka pergilah Musa mengambil tongkat itu seperti yang diperintahkan TUHAN.
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?"
Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock, and he said to them, “Hear now, you rebels! Shall we bring water out of this rock for you?”
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.
Moses lifted up his hand, and struck the rock with his rod twice, and water came out abundantly. The congregation and their livestock drank.
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."
The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you didn’t believe in me, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly 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.
These are the waters 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.
Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, saying: “Your brother Israel says: You know all the travail that has happened to 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 lived in Egypt a long time. The Egyptians mistreated 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.
When we cried to the LORD, he heard our voice, sent an angel, and brought us out of Egypt. Behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the edge 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."
“Please let us pass through your land. We will not pass through field or through vineyard, neither will we drink from the water of the wells. We will go along the king’s highway. We will not turn away to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed your border.”
18 Tetapi orang Edom menjawab, "Kamu tidak kami izinkan melalui wilayah kami. Kalau kamu nekat, kami akan menyerang kamu!"
Edom said to him, “You shall not pass through me, lest I come out with the sword against you.”
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."
The children of Israel said to him, “We will go up by the highway; and if we drink your water, I and my livestock, then I will give its price. Only let me, without doing anything else, pass through on my feet.”
20 Orang Edom berkata lagi, "Tidak boleh!" Lalu mereka keluar dengan tentara yang kuat untuk menyerang bangsa Israel.
He said, “You shall not pass through.” Edom came out against him with many 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, so Israel turned away from him.
22 Seluruh umat Israel meninggalkan Kades lalu tiba di Gunung Hor,
They travelled from Kadesh, and the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came to Mount Hor.
23 di perbatasan Edom. Di situ TUHAN berkata kepada Musa dan Harun,
The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron in Mount Hor, by the border 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 to his people; for he shall not enter into the land which I have given to the children of Israel, because you rebelled against my word at the waters of Meribah.
25 Bawalah Harun dan Eleazar, anaknya, naik ke Gunung Hor.
Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up to 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 on Eleazar his son. Aaron shall be gathered, and shall die there.”
27 Musa melakukan apa yang diperintahkan TUHAN. Musa, Harun dan Eleazar mendaki Gunung Hor disaksikan oleh seluruh umat.
Moses did as the LORD commanded. They went up onto 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.
Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them on Eleazar his son. Aaron died there 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.
When all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they wept for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.
