Nomery 20
1 Ary tamin’ ny volana voalohany tonga tao an-efitra Zina ny Zanak’ Isiraely, dia ny fiangonana rehetra; ary nitoetra tao Kadesy ny olona. Ary maty tao Miriama ka nalevina tao.
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 Ary tsy nisy rano ho an’ ny fiangonana, ka dia niangona izy hiodina amin’ i Mosesy sy Arona.
There was no water for the congregation; and they assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.
3 Dia nila ady tamin’ i Mosesy ny olona ka niteny hoe: Inay anie izahay mba maty tamin’ ny nahafatesan’ ny rahalahinay teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah!
The people quarrelled with Moses, and spoke, saying, “We wish that we had died when our brothers died before the LORD!
4 Fa nahoana no nitondra ny fiangonan’ i Jehovah ho amin’ ity efitra ity ianareo, mba hahafaty anay sy ny ombinay eto?
Why have you brought the LORD’s assembly into this wilderness, that we should die there, we and our animals?
5 Ary nahoana no nitondra anay niakatra avy tany Egypta ianareo, hampiditra anay ho amin’ ity tany ratsy ity, izay tsy misy voan-javatra, na aviavy, na voaloboka, na ampongabendanitra akory, sady tsy misy rano hosotroina?
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 Dia niala teo anatrehan’ ny fiangonana Mosesy sy Arona ho eo anoloan’ ny varavaran’ ny trano-lay fihaonana ka niankohoka; dia niseho taminy ny voninahitr’ i Jehovah.
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 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
8 Alao ny tehina, ka vorionao sy Arona rahalahinao ny fiangonana, ary mitenena amin’ ny vatolampy eo imasony, dia hampiboiboika ny ranony izy; ary hampivoaka rano ho an’ ny olona avy amin’ ny vatolampy ianao, ka dia hampisotroinao ny fiangonana sy ny biby fiompiny.
“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 Dia nalain’ i Mosesy ny tehina avy teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah, araka izay nandidiany azy.
Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him.
10 Dia novorin’ i Mosesy sy Arona teo anoloan’ ny vatolampy ny fiangonana; ka dia hoy izy: Mihainoa, ry mpiodina: Moa amin’ ity vatolampy ity va no hampivoahanay rano ho anareo?
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 Ary Mosesy dia nanainga ny tànany ka nikapoka ny vatolampy indroa tamin’ ny tehiny; dia niboiboika be dia be ny rano, ka nisotro avokoa ny fiangonana sy ny biby fiompiny.
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 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy sy Arona hoe: Satria tsy nino Ahy ianareo hanamasina Ahy eo imason’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, dia tsy hitondra izao fiangonana izao ho any amin’ ny tany izay nomeko azy ianareo.
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 Ity no ranon’ i Meriba, izay nilan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely ady tamin’ i Jehovah, ka nisehoan’ i Jehovah ho masìna tamin’ ny nataony taminy.
These are the waters of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them.
14 Ary Mosesy dia naniraka olona avy tao Kadesy hankany amin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Edoma hanao hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Isiraely rahalahinao: Hianao mahalala ny fahoriana rehetra izay nanjo anay:
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 dia ny nidinan’ ny razanay tany Egypta, sy ny nitoeranay ela tany; ary nampahory anay sy ny razanay ny Egyptiana;
how our fathers went down into Egypt, and we lived in Egypt a long time. The Egyptians mistreated us and our fathers.
16 ary raha nitaraina tamin’ i Jehovah izahay, dia nihaino ny feonay Izy ka naniraka Anjely sy nitondra anay nivoaka avy tany Egypta; ary, indreto, tonga eto Kadesy, tanàna eto amin’ ny faritry ny taninao, izahay;
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 koa aoka mba handeha hamaky ny taninao izahay; fa tsy handeha hamaky ny saha sy ny tanim-boaloboka, na hisotro ny rano amin’ ny lavaka fantsakana akory: ny lalan’ andriana ihany no halehanay, fa tsy hania izahay na ho amin’ ny ankavanana na ho amin’ ny ankavia mandra-pahafakay ny faritry ny taninao.
“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 Fa hoy ny Edomita taminy: Tsy mahazo mandeha mamaky ny taniko ianao, fandrao hivoaka hamely anao amin’ ny sabatra aho.
Edom said to him, “You shall not pass through me, lest I come out with the sword against you.”
19 Dia hoy ny Zanak’ Isiraely taminy: Ny lalam-be ihany no halehanay, fa raha hisotro ny ranonao izaho sy ny omby aman’ ondriko, dia hefaiko vola izany; fa tsy hanao na inona na inona aho, fa handalo fotsiny ihany.
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 Fa hoy izy: Tsy mahazo mandalo atỳ ianao. Ary nivoaka hisakana azy ny Edomita nitondra vahoaka betsaka sady nanao tàna-mahery.
He said, “You shall not pass through.” Edom came out against him with many people, and with a strong hand.
21 Toy izany no nandavan’ ny Edomita ka tsy namela ny Isiraely hamaky ny taniny, ka dia nivily niala taminy ny Zanak’ Isiraely.
Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border, so Israel turned away from him.
22 Ary nifindra ny Zanak’ Isiraely, dia ny fiangonana rehetra, ka niala tany Kadesy ary tonga tao an-tendrombohitra Hora.
They travelled from Kadesh, and the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came to Mount Hor.
23 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy sy Arona tao an-tendrombohitra Hora, tao amin’ ny fari-tanin’ i Edoma, ka nanao hoe:
The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron in Mount Hor, by the border of the land of Edom, saying,
24 Arona hangonina any amin’ ny razany; fa tsy hiditra any amin’ ny tany izay nomeko ny Zanak’ Isiraely izy, satria nandà ny teniko teo amin’ ny ranon’ i Meriba ianareo.
“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 Alao Arona sy Eleazara zanany, ka ento miakatra ao an-tendrombohitra Hora izy mianaka;
Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up to Mount Hor;
26 dia esory ny fitafian’ i Arona, ka atafio an’ i Eleazara zanany; ary Arona hangonina any amin’ ny razany ka ho faty ao.
and strip Aaron of his garments, and put them on Eleazar his son. Aaron shall be gathered, and shall die there.”
27 Ary Mosesy nanao araka izay nandidian’ i Jehovah; dia niakatra tao an-tendrombohitra Hora teo imason’ ny fiangonana rehetra izy telo mianaka.
Moses did as the LORD commanded. They went up onto Mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.
28 Dia nesorin’ i Mosesy ny fitafian’ i Arona ka natafiny an’ i Eleazara zanany; ary maty tao an-tampon’ ny tendrombohitra Arona; dia nidina avy tao an-tendrombohitra Mosesy sy Eleazara.
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 Koa nony hitan’ ny fiangonana rehetra fa maty Arona, dia nisaona azy telo-polo andro izy, dia ny taranak’ Isiraely rehetra.
When all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they wept for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.
