1 Nimoak’ am-patram-bei’ i Tsine eo o ana’ Israeleo, i valobohòkey, amy volañe valoha’ey le nitobe e Kadese; nihomake eo t’i Miriame vaho nalenteke.
In the first month, the whole congregation of Israel entered the Wilderness of Zin and stayed in Kadesh. There Miriam died and was buried.
2 Tsy nanan-drano i valobohòkey le nifanontoñe hiatreatre amy Mosè naho i Aharone.
Now there was no water for the congregation, so they gathered against Moses and Aaron.
3 Le nifandietse amy Mosè ondatio, ami’ty hoe, Hamake t’ie nivetrak’ amy nikoromaha’ o longo’aio añatrefa’ Iehovày!
The people quarreled with Moses and said, “If only we had perished with our brothers before the LORD!
4 Aa vaho ino ty nanesea’o mb’ am-patrambey mb’etoy ty fivori’ Iehovà, hibanitse etoañe, zahay naho o hare’aio?
Why have you brought the LORD’s assembly into this wilderness for us and our livestock to die here?
5 Le ino ty nañakara’o anay an-tane Mitsraime añe, hanese anay an-toetse raty atoy? ie tsy mahalefe ampemba ndra sakoañe ndra vahe ndra dagoa, mbore tsy aman-drano hinomañe.
Why have you led us up out of Egypt to bring us to this wretched place? It is not a place of grain, figs, vines, or pomegranates—and there is no water to drink!”
6 Aa le nienga i valobohòkey t’i Mosè naho i Aharone niheo mb’amy lalan-kibohom-pamantañañey mb’eo; le nibabok’ an-daharañe vaho nisodehañe am’ iereo ty enge’ Iehovà.
Then Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. They fell facedown, and the glory of the LORD appeared to them.
7 Le nitsara amy Mosè t’Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
And the LORD said to Moses,
8 Rambeso i kobaiñey; le atontono i valobohòkey, ihe naho i Aharone rahalahi’o. Saontsio añatrefam-pihaino’ iareo i vatoy haña­katse ty rano’e, hamahana’o rano boak’ amy vatoy, hampi­noma’o iareo naho o hare’ iareoo.
“Take the staff and assemble the congregation. You and your brother Aaron are to speak to the rock while they watch, and it will pour out its water. You will bring out water from the rock and provide drink for the congregation and their livestock.”
9 Aa le rinambe’ i Mosè i kobay añatrefa’ Iehovày, amy nandiliañe azey.
So Moses took the staff from the LORD’s presence, just as he had been commanded.
10 Le navori’ i Mosè naho i Aharone añatrefa’ i vatoy i fivoriy, le nanoe’e ty hoe, Mitsen­dreña, ry mpiolao. Hañakara’ay rano boak’ ami’ty vato tia hao?
Then Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly in front of the rock, and Moses said to them, “Listen now, you rebels, must we bring you water out of this rock?”
11 Aa le naonjo’ i Mosè ty fità’e naho finofo’e indroe amy kobai’ey i vatoy, vaho nidoandoañe boak’ ao ty rano bey le ninon-drano i valobohòkey naho o hare’eo.
Then Moses raised his hand and struck the rock twice with his staff, so that a great amount of water gushed out, and the congregation and their livestock were able to drink.
12 Fe hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè naho i Aharone, amy te tsy nonjone’ areo hampiboak’ amo ana’ Israeleo o hamasiñakoo, le tsy hendese’ areo hizilik’ an-tane natoloko iareo ao ty fivory tia.
But the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not trust Me to show My holiness in the sight of the Israelites, you will not bring this assembly into the land that I have given them.”
13 Ie o Ranom-Piolañeo amy te nikotreke am’ Iehovà o ana’ Israeleo, ie fa nivente’e am’ iareo ty hamasiña’e.
These were the waters of Meribah, where the Israelites quarreled with the LORD, and He showed His holiness among them.
14 Aa le nañitrik’ ami’ty mpanjaka’ i Edome boake Kadese t’i Mosè. Hoe ty rahalahi’o Israele: Fohi’o o hasotriañe iaby nifetsak’ ama’aio:
From Kadesh, Moses sent messengers to tell the king of Edom, “This is what your brother Israel says: You know all the hardship that has befallen us,
15 ty nizo­tsoa’ o rae’aio mbe Mitsraime mb’eo, ty nimo­neña’e añe andro maro, vaho te namorekeke anay naho o rae’aio o nte-Mitsraimeo.
how our fathers went down to Egypt, where we lived many years. The Egyptians mistreated us and our fathers,
16 Aa ie nikaike Iehovà le jinan­ji’e o fiarañanaña’aio vaho nirahe’e i Anjeli’ey ninday anay niavotse i Mitsraime; le ingo t’ie e Kadese atoy henaneo, ty rova añ’ olon’ efe-tane’o atoy.
and when we cried out to the LORD, He heard our voice, sent an angel, and brought us out of Egypt. Now look, we are in Kadesh, a city on the edge of your territory.
17 Aa ehe meo lalan-jahay hitoañe o tane’oo. Tsy hiranga teteke ndra tanem-bahe, le tsy ho kamae’ay ty rano boak’ am-bovo’ areo ao; fa horihe’ay i Karanan­gam-Panjakay, vaho tsy hivio mañavia ndra mañavana ampara’ te losore’ay o fehe’oo.
Please let us pass through your land. We will not cut through any field or vineyard, or drink water from any well. We will stay on the King’s Highway; we will not turn to the right or to the left until we have passed through your territory.”
18 Aa hoe ty asa’ i Edome ama’e, Tsy hiranga ty tane’ay nahareo, tsy mone hiavota’ay am-pibara.
But Edom answered, “You may not travel through our land, or we will come out and confront you with the sword.”
19 Le hoe o ana’ Israeleo tama’e, I Karanangay avao ty handenako, aa naho hinome’ay o rano’oo, izaho ndra o harekoo, le havahako ty vili’e; adono hirangàko an-tomboke tsy hampianto.
“We will stay on the main road,” the Israelites replied, “and if we or our herds drink your water, we will pay for it. There will be no problem; only let us pass through on foot.”
20 Fe hoe re, Tsy hiranga nahareo. Le niavotse mb’am’ iareo mb’eo ty Edome an-dahin-defo maro vaho am-pitàñe maozatse.
But Edom insisted, “You may not pass through.” And they came out to confront the Israelites with a large army and a strong hand.
21 Aa le nifoneñe t’i Edome tsy nanolora’ o fehe’eo lalañe hitsake t’Israele; aa le nivioñe añe t’Israele.
So Edom refused to allow Israel to pass through their territory, and Israel turned away from them.
22 Niavotse i Kadese iereo, le niporopotìtse e Vohi-Hore o ana’Israeleo—i valobohòke iabiy.
After they had set out from Kadesh, the whole congregation of Israel came to Mount Hor.
23 Le nanao ty hoe amy Mosè naho amy Aharone t’Iehovà e Vohi-Hore ey, añ’efe-tane’ i Edome eo:
And at Mount Hor, near the border of the land of Edom, the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
24 Hatontoñe am’ ondati’eo t’i Aharone, ie tsy hizilike amy tane natoloko amo ana’ Israeleoy, amy te niola amy volakoy nahareo an-drano’ i Meribà añe.
“Aaron will be gathered to his people; he will not enter the land that I have given the Israelites, because both of you rebelled against My command at the waters of Meribah.
25 Endeso t’i Aharone naho i ana’e Elazare vaho aseseo mañambone’ i Vohi-Horey mb’eo,
Take Aaron and his son Eleazar and bring them up Mount Hor.
26 le abolio amy Aharone o saro’eo naho asaroño amy Elazare ana-dahi’e fa hatontoñe t’i Aharone toe hivetrake.
Remove Aaron’s priestly garments and put them on his son Eleazar. Aaron will be gathered to his people and will die there.”
27 Aa le nanoe’ i Mosè i linili’ Iehovày vaho niañambone ty Vohi-Hore ampahaisaha’ i valobohòke iabiy.
So Moses did as the LORD had commanded, and they climbed Mount Hor in the sight of the whole congregation.
28 Nafaha’ i Mosè o saro’ i Aharoneo naho nasaro’e amy Elazare ana’e, le nihomake andengo’ i vohitsey t’i Aharone, vaho nizotso amy vohitsey t’i Mosè naho i Elazare.
After Moses had removed Aaron’s garments and put them on his son Eleazar, Aaron died there on top of the mountain. Then Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.
29 Aa ie nirendre’ i valobohòke iabiy te nivilasy t’i Aharone, le fonga nandala aze telopolo andro ty anjomba’ Israele.
When the whole congregation saw that Aaron had died, the entire house of Israel mourned for him thirty days.
