Lakkoobsa 20
1 Jiʼa jalqabaatti waldaan Israaʼelootaa guutuun Gammoojjii Siin gaʼe; isaanis Qaadesh keessa turan. Miiriyaamis achitti duutee awwaalamte.
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 Waldaan sun bishaan hin qabu ture; kanaafuu waldaan sun Musee fi Arooniin mormuuf walitti qabame.
Now there was no water for the congregation, so they gathered against Moses and Aaron.
3 Isaanis akkana jedhanii Musee fi Arooniin lolan; “Maaloo utuu nus gaafuma obboloonni keenya fuula Waaqayyoo duratti duʼan sana duunee jiraannee!
The people quarreled with Moses and said, “If only we had perished with our brothers before the LORD!
4 Isin maaliif waldaa Waaqayyoo gammoojjii kanatti fiddan? Akka nuu fi horiin keenya asitti dhumnuufii?
Why have you brought the LORD’s assembly into this wilderness for us and our livestock to die here?
5 Maaliif biyya Gibxiitii iddoo hamaa kanatti gad nu baaftan? Iddoon kun midhaan yookaan harbuu yookaan ija wayinii yookaan roomaanii hin qabu. Bishaan dhugaatiis hin jiru!”
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 Musee fi Aroon waldaa biraa gara balbala dunkaana wal gaʼii deemanii addaan lafatti gombifaman; ulfinni Waaqayyoos isaanitti mulʼate.
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 Waaqayyos Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
And the LORD said to Moses,
8 “Ulee sana fuudhiitii, atii fi obboleessi kee Aroonis waldaa walitti qabaa. Fuuluma isaanii durattis kattaa sanatti dubbadhaa; kattaan sunis bishaan baasa. Atis kattaa sana keessaa waldaadhaaf bishaan baafta; akkasiin isaanii fi horiin isaanii bishaan dhuguu dandaʼu.”
“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 Kanaafuu Museen akkuma inni isa ajaje sanatti ulee fuula Waaqayyoo dura jiru sana fuudhe.
So Moses took the staff from the LORD’s presence, just as he had been commanded.
10 Musee fi Aroon kattaa sana duratti waldaa walitti qaban; Museenis waldaa sanaan, “Finciltoota nana, mee dhagaʼaa; nu kattaa kana keessaa bishaan isinii baasuu qabnaa?” jedhe.
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 Museen harka ol fudhatee ulee isaa sanaan yeroo lama kattaa sana dhaʼe. Bishaan achi keessaa lolaanaan waldaa fi horiin isaanii dhugan.
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 Waaqayyo garuu Musee fi Arooniin akkana jedhe; “Sababii isin fuula Israaʼelootaa duratti akka qulqullummaa kootiitti na kabajjanii natti amanuu diddaniif, isin biyya ani isaanii kenne sanatti waldaa kana hin galchitan.”
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 Kun bishaan Mariibaa, lafa Israaʼeloonni itti Waaqayyoon wal dhabanii fi lafa inni itti akka qulqulluu taʼe gidduu isaaniitti of argisiisee ti.
These were the waters of Meribah, where the Israelites quarreled with the LORD, and He showed His holiness among them.
14 Museen akkana jedhee Qaadesh irraa mootii Edoomiitti ergamoota erge: “Obboleessi kee Israaʼel akkana jedha: Ati waaʼee rakkina nutti dhufe hundaa ni beekta.
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 Abbootiin keenya Gibxitti gad buʼan; nus waggaa hedduu achi jiraanne. Warri Gibxis nuu fi abbootii keenya cunqursan;
how our fathers went down to Egypt, where we lived many years. The Egyptians mistreated us and our fathers,
16 garuu nu Waaqayyotti iyyaannaan, inni nu dhagaʼee ergamaa isaa ergee biyya Gibxii nu baase. “Nu amma as Qaadeshitti jechuunis magaalaa daarii biyya keetii irra jiru tokko keessa jirra.
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 Maaloo mee akka biyya kee keessa baanee dabarru nuu eeyyami. Nu lafa qotiisaa yookaan iddoo dhaabaa wayinii tokko keessa iyyuu hin yaanu yookaan bishaan boolla bishaanii tokkoo iyyuu si duraa hin dhugnu. Nu karaa mootichaa irra godaanna malee hamma daarii kee keessaa baanutti bitaa mirgatti hin gorru.”
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 Edoom immoo akkana jedhee deebii kenne: “Isin asiin darbuu hin dandeessan; yoo darbuu yaaltan immoo nu isinitti kaanee goraadeedhaan isin dhoofna.”
But Edom answered, “You may not travel through our land, or we will come out and confront you with the sword.”
19 Israaʼeloonnis akkana jedhanii deebii kennan: “Nu karuma guddicha irra yaana; yoo nu yookaan horiin keenya bishaan keessan kam iyyuu dhuge, nu gatii isiniif kaffalla. Nu miilla qofaan yaanee darbuu feena; kana malee waan biraa hin feenu.”
“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 Isaan amma illee akkana jedhanii deebisan: “Isin asiin hin dabartan.” Edoomis loltoota baayʼee fi jajjaboo fudhatee isaanitti gad baʼe.
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 Sababii Edoom biyya ofii isaa keessaan darbuu isaan dhowweef Israaʼeloonni isaan irraa deebiʼan.
So Edom refused to allow Israel to pass through their territory, and Israel turned away from them.
22 Sabni Israaʼel hundinuu Qaadeshii kaʼee Tulluu Hoori gaʼe.
After they had set out from Kadesh, the whole congregation of Israel came to Mount Hor.
23 Waaqayyos Tulluu Hoori cinatti daangaa Edoom biratti Musee fi Arooniin akkana jedhe;
And at Mount Hor, near the border of the land of Edom, the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
24 “Aroon gara abbootii isaatti walitti qabama. Sababii isin lachuu bishaan Mariibaa biratti ajaja kootti finciltaniif, inni biyya ani Israaʼelootaaf kennutti hin galu.
“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 Aroonii fi ilma isaa Eleʼaazaar fuudhiitii Tulluu Hooritti ol baasi.
Take Aaron and his son Eleazar and bring them up Mount Hor.
26 Aroon irraa uffata isaa baasiitii ilma isaa Eleʼaazaaritti uffisi; Aroon gara abbootii isaatti walitti qabamaatii. Inni achitti duʼa.”
Remove Aaron’s priestly garments and put them on his son Eleazar. Aaron will be gathered to his people and will die there.”
27 Museen akkuma Waaqayyo isa ajaje sana godhe: Isaanis utuma waldaan Israaʼel guutuun ilaaluu Tulluu Hooritti ol baʼan.
So Moses did as the LORD had commanded, and they climbed Mount Hor in the sight of the whole congregation.
28 Museenis uffata Aroon irraa baasee ilma isaa Eleʼaazaaritti uffise. Aroonis achuma tulluu sana gubbaatti duʼe. Musee fi Eleʼaazaaris tulluu sana irraa gad buʼan;
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 yommuu waldaan Israaʼel hundi akka Aroon duʼe dhagaʼetti manni Israaʼel guutuun bultii soddoma booʼeef.
When the whole congregation saw that Aaron had died, the entire house of Israel mourned for him thirty days.
