Oekyuk 20

1 Ke malem se meet, sruf nukewa lun Israel tuku nu yen mwesis Zin ac tulokunak lohm nuknuk selos in acn Kadesh. Na Miriam el misa ac pukpuki we.

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 Wangin kof ke acn elos aktuktuk we. Ke ma inge mwet uh tukeni nu yorol Moses ac Aaron

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

3 ac torkaskas fahk, “Kut funu wi mwet Israel wiasr misa na ye mutun Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sin LEUM GOD, lukun wona!

And the people chid with Moses, and spoke, saying, O that we had died when our brethren died before the LORD!

4 Efu komtal ku uskutme nu yen mwesis se inge? Mea, tuh kut ac kosro natusr uh in misa we?

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

5 Efu komtal ku uskutme liki acn Egypt nu yen na koluk se inge? Wangin ma ku in kapak fin acn se inge. Wangin wheat, ku fig, ku grape, ku pomegranate — finne kof in nimnim, wangin pac!”

And why have ye conducted us from Egypt, to bring us 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 Moses ac Aaron som liki mwet uh ac tu ke acn in utyak lun Lohm Nuknuk Mutal. Eltal faksufi, ac kalem wolana lun LEUM GOD sikyak nu selos.

And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon their faces: and the glory of the LORD appeared to them.

7 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,

And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

8 “Srukak sikal soko ma oan ke mutun Tuptup in Wuleang, na kom ac Aaron pangoneni un mwet Israel nukewa. Ye mutalos nukewa komtal fah sap nu ke eot se meet oh ingo, na kof uh fah sororma liki eot sac. In lumah se inge kom fah sang kof liki eot sac nimen mwet uh ac oayapa kosro natulos.”

Take the rod, and convene thou the assembly, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye to the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth its water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give drink to the congregation and their beasts.

9 Moses el som ac eis sikal soko ah oana LEUM GOD El sapkin.

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

10 Na el ac Aaron pangoneni mwet Israel nukewa nu ke mutun eot sac, ac Moses el fahk, “Porongeyu, kowos mwet tunyuna! Ya kut ac oru tuh kof uh in tuku liki eot se inge nu suwos?”

And Moses and Aaron assembled the congregation before the rock, and he said to them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?

11 Moses el kolak sikal soko ah, ac sang sringilya eot sac pacl luo, na kof na lulap se asrma, ac mwet nukewa, wi kosro uh, nim.

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

12 Tusruktu LEUM GOD El sang kas in kai nu sel Moses ac Aaron. El fahk, “Ke sripen srikla lulalfongi lomtal in fahkak kalem ke ku mutal luk ye mutun mwet Israel, komtal ac tia kololos nu in acn se ma nga wuleang in sang lalos.”

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

13 Ma inge sikyak Meribah, yen se mwet Israel uh torkaskas lain LEUM GOD we, ac yen se LEUM GOD El akkalemye nu selos lah El mutal.

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

14 Moses el supwala mwet utuk kas Kadesh lac nu yurin tokosra lun acn Edom. Elos fahk, “Siyuk se inge ma sin mwet wiom, mwet Israel. Kom etu lupan mwe keok ma sikyak nu sesr uh,

And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, Thus saith thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the travail that hath befallen us:

15 ke mwet matu lasr tuh som nu Egypt, acn se kut tuh muta we ke yac puspis. Mwet Egypt uh orekut ac mwet matu lasr uh arulana koluk.

How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have dwelt in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians afflicted us, and our fathers:

16 Na kut wowoyak tung nu sin LEUM GOD ac siyuk ke kasru. El lohng tung lasr ac supwama lipufan se, su pwenkutme liki acn Egypt. Inge kut oasr Kadesh, sie acn ma oan sisken masrol nu ke facl sum uh.

And when we cried to the LORD, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and hath brought us forth from Egypt: and behold, we [are] in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border:

17 Nunak munas, lela nu sesr in fahsr sasla in acn sum. Kut, ac cow natusr, fah tia kuhfla liki inkanek lulap in utyak nu in ima lom ku ima in grape sunom, ac kut ac fah tia nim kof ke lufin kof lowos uh. Kut ac fahsr na fin inkanek lulap ah, nwe ke kut alukela facl sum uh.”

Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy 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 thy borders.

18 Tokosra lun mwet Edom el topuk ac fahk, “Nga tia lelu kowos in fahsr sasla facl sesr uh! Kowos fin srike in oru, kut ac illa mweuni kowos.”

And Edom said to him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword.

19 Na mwet Israel uh fahk, “Kut ac fahsr na ke innek lulap uh, na kut, ku kosro natusr uh, fin nim kutena kof ke facl sum, kut fah moli. Pwayena ma kut enenu pa kut in fahla sasla facl sum uh.”

And the children of Israel said to him, We will go by the highway: and if I and my cattle drink of thy water, then I will pay for it: I will only, without [doing] any thing [else], go through on my feet.

20 Na tokosra sac sifilpa fahk, “Mo! Kut tiana lela!” Na mwet Edom elos illa ke un mwet mweun na lulap ac ku se in mweuni mwet Israel.

And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out against him with many people, and with a strong hand.

21 Ke sripen mwet Edom uh tia lela mwet Israel in fahla fin acn selos, na mwet Israel forla ac ut ke sokona inkanek.

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

22 Mwet Israel nukewa mukuiyak liki acn Kadesh ac tuku nu Fineol Hor,

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

23 nu ke masrol lun acn Edom. Ac LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses ac Aaron,

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

24 “Aaron el ac tia wi ilyak nu in facl se su nga wulela in sang nu sin mwet Israel. El ac misa ke sripen komtal tuh lain ma nga sapkin in acn Meribah.

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 ye rebelled against my word at the water of Meribah.

25 Eisal Aaron ac Eleazar wen natul, ac utyak nu Fineol Hor.

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

26 Na sarukla nuknuk loeloes lun mwet tol lal Aaron we, ac sang nokmulang Eleazar. Aaron el ac misa ingo.”

And strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son: and Aaron shall be gathered [to his people], and shall die there.

27 Moses el oru oana ke LEUM GOD El sapkin. Eltal fanyak nu Fineol Hor ye mutun mwet Israel nukewa.

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

28 Ac Moses el sarukla nuknuk in mwet tol lal Aaron ac sang nokmulang Eleazar. Na Aaron el misa ingo fin mangon eol uh, ac Moses ac Eleazar tufoki liki fineol uh.

And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there on the top of the mount: and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mount.

29 Ke mwet Israel elos lohngak lah Aaron el misa, elos nukewa tung ac eoksra kacl ke len tolngoul.

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