Tauanga 20
1 Na ka tae nga tama a Iharaira, ara te whakaminenga katoa, ki te koraha o Hini i te marama tuatahi: a ka noho te iwi ki Karehe; na ka mate a Miriama ki reira, a tanumia ana ki reira.
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 A kahore he wai mo te whakaminenga: a ka huihui ki te ngangare ki a Mohi raua ko Arona.
And the people wanting water, came together against Moses and Aaron:
3 Na ka ngangau te iwi ki a Mohi, ka korero, ka mea, Aue, me i mate matou i te matenga o o matou tuakana i te aroaro o Ihowa!
And making a sedition, they said: Would God we had perished among our brethren before the Lord.
4 He aha hoki i kawea mai ai e korua te whakaminenga a Ihowa ki tenei koraha, kia mate tahi matou me a matou kararehe ki konei?
Why have you brought out the church of the Lord into the wilderness, that both we and our cattle should die?
5 He aha hoki matou i meinga ai e korua kia haere mai i Ihipa, kia kawea mai matou ki tenei wahi kino? ehara nei i te wahi purapura, i te wahi piki, waina, pamekaranete; kahore ano hoki he wai hei inu.
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 Na ka haere a Mohi raua ko Arona i te aroaro o te whakaminenga ki te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, a ka kupapa iho o raua mata: na ko te putanga mai o te kororia o Ihowa ki a raua.
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 A ka korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi, ka mea,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
8 Maua atu te tokotoko, huihuia mai ano te whakaminenga e korua ko tou tuakana, ko Arona, ka korero ai korua ki te kamaka i mua i o ratou kanohi, kia tukua mai tona wai; a ka whakaputaina mai e koe he wai mo ratou i roto i te kamaka: a ka meinga e koe te whakaminenga me a ratou kararehe kia inu.
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 Na ka maua e Mohi te tokotoko i te aroaro o Ihowa, pera ana ia me tana i whakahau ai.
Moses therefore took the rod, which was before the Lord, as he had commanded him,
10 I huihuia hoki te whakaminenga e Mohi raua ko Arona ki mua o te kamaka, a ka mea ia ki a ratou, Whakarongo mai, e te hunga tutu; me whakaputa mai ranei e maua he wai mo koutou i roto i tenei kamaka?
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 Na ka ara te ringa o Mohi, a e rua ana patunga i te kamaka ki tana tokotoko; ko te tino putanga mai o te wai, tona nui, a inu ana te iwi me a ratou kararehe.
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 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi raua ko Arona, Kahore nei korua i whakapono ki ahau, kia whakatapu i ahau i te tirohanga a nga tama a Iharaira, mo reira e kore korua e kawe i tenei whakaminenga ki te whenua e hoatu nei e ahau ki a ratou.
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 Ko te wai tena o Meripa; i ngangau hoki nga tama a Iharaira ki a Ihowa ki reira, a meinga ana ratou hei whakatapu mona.
This is the Water of contradiction, where the children of Israel strove with words against the Lord, and he was sanctified in them.
14 Na ka unga tangata a Mohi i Karehe ki te kingi o Eroma, Ko te kupu tenei a tou teina, a Iharaira, E mohio ana koe ki nga he katoa i pono mai ki a matou;
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 Ki te hekenga o o matou matua ki Ihipa, ki to matou nohoanga hoki i Ihipa, a maha noa nga ra; a ka tukino nga Ihipiana i a matou ko o matou matua:
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 A, i ta matou karangatanga atu ki a Ihowa, na ka rongo ia ki to matou reo, a unga ana e ia he anahera hei whakaputa mai i a matou i Ihipa: na, kei Karehe tenei matou, kei te pa whakamutunga o tou rohe:
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 Tena, tukua atu matou ma tou whenua: e kore matou e haere na nga mara, na nga mara waina ranei, e kore ano matou e inu i te wai o nga puna: ka haere matou i te huanui o te kingi, e kore matou e peka ki matau, ki maui, kia pahemo ra ano i a matou ou rohe.
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 Na ka mea a Eroma ki a ia, E kore koe e tika na toku wahi, kei haere ahau me te hoari ki te tu i a koe.
And Edom answered them: Thou shalt not pass by me: if thou dost I will come out armed against thee.
19 Na ka mea nga tama a Iharaira ki a ia, Ka haere matou na te huanui: a ki te inu ahau me aku kahui i tou wai, me utu e ahau: heoi rawa taku e mea ai, ko te haere kau o oku waewae na kona.
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 Na ka mea ia, E kore koe e haere ra konei. A ka puta a Eroma me te ope nui, me te ringa kaha, ki te tu i a ia.
But he answered: Thou shalt not pass. And immediately he came forth to meet them with an infinite multitude, and a strong hand,
21 Heoi kihai a Eroma i pai ki te tuku i a Iharaira kia haere na tona rohe: na peka ke ana a Iharaira i a ia.
Neither would he condescend to their desire to grant them passage through his borders. Wherefore Israel turned another way from him.
22 Na ka turia atu e ratou i Karehe: a ka tae nga tama a Iharaira, ara te whakaminenga katoa ki Maunga Horo.
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 Na ka korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi raua ko Arona i Maunga Horo, i te rohe o te whenua o Eroma, ka mea,
Where the Lord spoke to Moses:
24 Ka kohia atu a Arona ki tona iwi; e kore hoki ia e tae ki te whenua ka hoatu nei e ahau ki nga tama a Iharaira, mo korua i whakatoi ki taku kupu i te wai o Meripa.
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 Tangohia a Arona raua ko Ereatara, ko tana tama, kawea hoki raua ki runga ki Maunga Horo:
Take Aaron and his son with him, and bring them up into mount Hor:
26 Unuhia hoki nga kakahu o Arona, ka whakakakahu ai ki tana tama, ki a Ereatara: a ka kohia atu a Arona ki tona iwi, ka mate hoki ki reira.
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 Na ka pera a Mohi me ta Ihowa i whakahau ai, a haere ana ratou ki runga ki Maunga Horo i te tirohanga a te whakaminenga katoa.
Moses did as the Lord had commanded: and they went up into mount Hor before all the multitude.
28 Na ka unuhia e Mohi nga kakahu o Arona, a whakakakahuria ana e ia ki tana tama, ki a Ereatara; a ka mate a Arona ki reira, ki te tihi o te maunga: a ka heke iho a Mohi raua ko Ereatara i runga i te maunga.
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 A, no te kitenga o te whakaminenga katoa kua mate a Arona, e toru tekau nga ra i tangihia ai a Arona e ratou, e te whare katoa o Iharaira.
And all the multitude seeing that Aaron was dead, mourned for him thirty days throughout all their families.
