1 Kemudian sampailah orang Israel, yakni segenap umat itu, ke padang gurun Zin, dalam bulan pertama, lalu tinggallah bangsa itu di Kadesh. Matilah Miryam di situ dan dikuburkan di situ.
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 Pada suatu kali, ketika tidak ada air bagi umat itu, berkumpullah mereka mengerumuni Musa dan Harun,
And the people wanting water, came together against Moses and Aaron:
3 dan bertengkarlah bangsa itu dengan Musa, katanya: "Sekiranya kami mati binasa pada waktu saudara-saudara kami mati binasa di hadapan TUHAN!
And making a sedition, they said: Would God we had perished among our brethren before the Lord.
4 Mengapa kamu membawa jemaah TUHAN ke padang gurun ini, supaya kami dan ternak kami mati di situ?
Why have you brought out the church of the Lord into the wilderness, that both we and our cattle should die?
5 Mengapa kamu memimpin kami keluar dari Mesir, untuk membawa kami ke tempat celaka ini, yang bukan tempat menabur, tanpa pohon ara, anggur dan delima, bahkan air minumpun tidak ada?"
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 Maka pergilah Musa dan Harun dari umat itu ke pintu Kemah Pertemuan, lalu sujud. Kemudian tampaklah kemuliaan TUHAN kepada mereka.
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 TUHAN berfirman kepada Musa:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
8 "Ambillah tongkatmu itu dan engkau dan Harun, kakakmu, harus menyuruh umat itu berkumpul; katakanlah di depan mata mereka kepada bukit batu itu supaya diberi airnya; demikianlah engkau mengeluarkan air dari bukit batu itu bagi mereka dan memberi minum umat itu serta ternaknya."
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 Lalu Musa mengambil tongkat itu dari hadapan TUHAN, seperti yang diperintahkan-Nya kepadanya.
Moses therefore took the rod, which was before the Lord, as he had commanded him,
10 Ketika Musa dan Harun telah mengumpulkan jemaah itu di depan bukit batu itu, berkatalah ia kepada mereka: "Dengarlah kepadaku, hai orang-orang durhaka, apakah kami harus mengeluarkan air bagimu dari bukit batu ini?"
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 Sesudah itu Musa mengangkat tangannya, lalu memukul bukit batu itu dengan tongkatnya dua kali, maka keluarlah banyak air, sehingga umat itu dan ternak mereka dapat minum.
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 Tetapi TUHAN berfirman kepada Musa dan Harun: "Karena kamu tidak percaya kepada-Ku dan tidak menghormati kekudusan-Ku di depan mata orang Israel, itulah sebabnya kamu tidak akan membawa jemaah ini masuk ke negeri yang akan Kuberikan kepada mereka."
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 Itulah mata air Meriba, tempat orang Israel bertengkar dengan TUHAN dan Ia menunjukkan kekudusan-Nya di antara mereka.
This is the Water of contradiction, where the children of Israel strove with words against the Lord, and he was sanctified in them.
14 Kemudian Musa mengirim utusan dari Kadesh kepada raja Edom dengan pesan: "Beginilah perkataan saudaramu Israel: Engkau tahu segala kesusahan yang telah menimpa kami,
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 bahwa nenek moyang kami pergi ke Mesir, dan kami lama diam di Mesir dan kami dan nenek moyang kami diperlakukan dengan jahat oleh orang Mesir;
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 bahwa kami berteriak kepada TUHAN, dan Ia mendengarkan suara kami, mengutus seorang malaikat dan menuntun kami keluar dari Mesir. Sekarang ini kami ada di Kadesh, sebuah kota di tepi perbatasanmu.
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 Izinkanlah kiranya kami melalui negerimu; kami tidak akan berjalan melalui ladang-ladang dan kebun-kebun anggurmu dan kami tidak akan minum air sumurmu; jalan besar saja akan kami jalani dengan tidak menyimpang ke kanan atau ke kiri, sampai kami melalui batas daerahmu."
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 Tetapi orang Edom berkata kepada mereka: "Tidak boleh kamu melalui daerah kami, nanti kami keluar menjumpai kamu dengan pedang!"
And Edom answered them: Thou shalt not pass by me: if thou dost I will come out armed against thee.
19 Lalu berkatalah orang Israel kepadanya: "Kami akan berjalan melalui jalan raya, dan jika kami dan ternak kami minum airmu, maka kami akan membayar uangnya, asal kami diizinkan lalu dengan berjalan kaki, hanya itu saja."
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 Tetapi jawab mereka: "Tidak boleh kamu lalu." Maka keluarlah orang Edom menghadapi mereka dengan banyak rakyatnya dan dengan tentara yang kuat.
But he answered: Thou shalt not pass. And immediately he came forth to meet them with an infinite multitude, and a strong hand,
21 Ketika orang Edom tidak mau mengizinkan orang Israel lalu dari daerahnya, maka orang Israel menyimpang meninggalkannya.
Neither would he condescend to their desire to grant them passage through his borders. Wherefore Israel turned another way from him.
22 Setelah mereka berangkat dari Kadesh, sampailah segenap umat Israel ke gunung 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 Lalu berkatalah TUHAN kepada Musa dan Harun dekat gunung Hor, di perbatasan tanah Edom:
Where the Lord spoke to Moses:
24 "Harun akan dikumpulkan kepada kaum leluhurnya, sebab ia tidak akan masuk ke negeri yang Kuberikan kepada orang Israel, karena kamu berdua telah mendurhaka kepada titah-Ku dekat mata air 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 Panggillah Harun dan Eleazar, anaknya, dan bawalah mereka naik ke gunung Hor;
Take Aaron and his son with him, and bring them up into mount Hor:
26 tanggalkanlah pakaian Harun dan kenakanlah itu kepada Eleazar, anaknya, kemudian Harun akan dikumpulkan kepada kaum leluhurnya dan mati di sana."
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 Lalu Musa melakukan seperti yang diperintahkan TUHAN. Mereka naik ke gunung Hor sedang segenap umat itu memandangnya.
Moses did as the Lord had commanded: and they went up into mount Hor before all the multitude.
28 Musa menanggalkan pakaian Harun dan mengenakannya kepada Eleazar, anaknya. Lalu matilah Harun di puncak gunung itu, kemudian Musa dengan Eleazar turun dari gunung itu.
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 Ketika segenap umat itu melihat, bahwa Harun telah mati, maka seluruh orang Israel menangisi Harun tiga puluh hari lamanya.
And all the multitude seeing that Aaron was dead, mourned for him thirty days throughout all their families.
