Nomery 20
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.
It was during the first month of the year that all the Israelites arrived in the Desert of Zin and set up camp in Kadesh. (This was where Miriam died and was buried.)
2 Tsy nanan-drano i valobohòkey le nifanontoñe hiatreatre amy Mosè naho i Aharone.
However, there was no water there for anyone to drink, so the people gathered to confront Moses and Aaron.
3 Le nifandietse amy Mosè ondatio, ami’ty hoe, Hamake t’ie nivetrak’ amy nikoromaha’ o longo’aio añatrefa’ Iehovày!
They argued with Moses, saying, “If only we'd died with our relatives in the Lord's presence!
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 people into this desert just so we and our livestock can 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 did you lead us out of Egypt to come to this awful place? Nothing grows here—no grain or figs or vines or pomegranates. And there's 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.
Moses and Aaron left the people and went to entrance of the Tent of Meeting. There they fell facedown on the ground, and the glory of the Lord appeared to them.
7 Le nitsara amy Mosè t’Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
The Lord told 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 walking stick and have the people gather around you. As they watch, you and your brother Aaron will order the rock and it will pour out water. You will bring water from the rock so the people and their livestock can drink.”
9 Aa le rinambe’ i Mosè i kobay añatrefa’ Iehovày, amy nandiliañe azey.
Moses picked up the walking stick that was kept in the Lord's presence, as he had been ordered.
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?
Moses and Aaron had everyone gather in front of the rock. Moses said to them, “Listen, you bunch of rebels! Do we have to bring water out of this rock for you?”
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 picked up the walking stick and hit the rock twice. Streams of water gushed out so that the people and their livestock could 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 told Moses and Aaron, “Because you didn't trust me enough to demonstrate how holy I am to the Israelites, you will not be the ones to lead them into the country I've given them.”
13 Ie o Ranom-Piolañeo amy te nikotreke am’ Iehovà o ana’ Israeleo, ie fa nivente’e am’ iareo ty hamasiña’e.
The place where the Israelites argued with the Lord was called the waters of Meribah, and was where he revealed his holiness to 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:
Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, telling him, “This is what your brother Israel says. You know all about the difficulties we've faced.
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.
Our forefathers went to Egypt and we lived there for a long time. The Egyptians treated us and our forefathers badly,
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.
so we called out to the Lord for help, and he heard our cries. He sent an angel and led us out of Egypt. Listen, now we are in Kadesh, a town on the border 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 allow us to travel through your country. We won't cross any of your fields or vineyards, or drink water from any of your wells. We will stay on the King's Highway; we won't turn off either to the right or to the left until we have passed through your country.”
18 Aa hoe ty asa’ i Edome ama’e, Tsy hiranga ty tane’ay nahareo, tsy mone hiavota’ay am-pibara.
But the king of Edom replied, “You are forbidden to travel through our country, otherwise we will come out and stop you by force.”
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'll keep to the main road,” the Israelites persisted. “If we or our livestock drink your water, we'll pay you for it. That's all we want—just to 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 the king of Edom insisted, “You are forbidden to travel through our country!” He came out with his large and powerful army to meet the Israelites head-on.
21 Aa le nifoneñe t’i Edome tsy nanolora’ o fehe’eo lalañe hitsake t’Israele; aa le nivioñe añe t’Israele.
Since the king of Edom refused to allow Israel to travel through his territory, the Israelites had to turn back.
22 Niavotse i Kadese iereo, le niporopotìtse e Vohi-Hore o ana’Israeleo—i valobohòke iabiy.
The Israelites all left Kadesh and traveled 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:
At Mount Hor, near the border with the country of Edom, the Lord told 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 shortly join his forefathers in death. He will not enter the country I have given the Israelites, because you both disobeyed 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,
Have Aaron and his son Eleazar join you and climb up Mount Hor together.
26 le abolio amy Aharone o saro’eo naho asaroño amy Elazare ana-dahi’e fa hatontoñe t’i Aharone toe hivetrake.
Take off Aaron's priestly clothes and put them on his son Eleazar. Aaron is going to die there and join his forefathers in death.”
27 Aa le nanoe’ i Mosè i linili’ Iehovày vaho niañambone ty Vohi-Hore ampahaisaha’ i valobohòke iabiy.
Moses did as the Lord ordered: They climbed up Mount Hor in full view of all the Israelites.
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.
Moses removed the priestly clothes that Aaron was wearing and put them on Aaron's son Eleazar. Aaron died there, on the top of the mountain. Then Moses and Eleazar went back down.
29 Aa ie nirendre’ i valobohòke iabiy te nivilasy t’i Aharone, le fonga nandala aze telopolo andro ty anjomba’ Israele.
When the people realized that Aaron had died, they all mourned for him for thirty days.
