Numeri 20
1 Mumwedzi wokutanga, ungano yose yeIsraeri yakasvika murenje reZini, uye vakandogara paKadheshi. Ndipo pakafira Miriamu uye akavigwapo.
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 Zvino pakanga pasisina mvura yeungano, uye vanhu vakaungana vakapopotera Mozisi naAroni.
Now there was no water for the congregation, so they gathered against Moses and Aaron.
3 Vakapopotera Mozisi vachiti, “Dai zvedu takafa pakafira hama dzedu pamberi paJehovha!
The people quarreled with Moses and said, “If only we had perished with our brothers before the LORD!
4 Seiko wakauya neungano yaJehovha murenje rino, kuti isu nezvipfuwo zvedu tifire muno.
Why have you brought the LORD’s assembly into this wilderness for us and our livestock to die here?
5 Seiko wakatibudisa muIjipiti uchitiuyisa munzvimbo yakaipa kudai? Haina zviyo kana maonde, mazambiringa kana matamba. Uye mvura yokunwa hapana!”
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 Mozisi naAroni vakabva paungano vakaenda kumukova weTende Rokusangana vakawira pasi nezviso zvavo, kubwinya kwaJehovha kukaratidzwa kwavari.
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 Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi,
And the LORD said to Moses,
8 “Tora tsvimbo uye iwe nomukoma wako Aroni muunganidze ungano pamwe chete. Utaure kudombo pamberi pavo rigobudisa mvura yaro. Iwe uchabudisa mvura kubva mudombo kuti vanwe ivo nezvipfuwo zvavo.”
“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 Saka Mozisi akatora tsvimbo pamberi paJehovha, sezvaakanga amurayira.
So Moses took the staff from the LORD’s presence, just as he had been commanded.
10 Iye naAroni vakaunganidza ungano pamwe chete pamberi pedombo, Mozisi akati kwavari, “Teererai imi vokumukira, tinofanira kukubudisirai mvura padombo iri here?”
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 Ipapo Mozisi akasimudza ruoko rwake akarova dombo kaviri netsvimbo yake. Mvura yakabuda, ungano nezvipfuwo zvikanwa.
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 Asi Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi naAroni, “Nokuti hamuna kuvimba neni zvakakwana kuti mundikudze somutsvene pamberi pavaIsraeri, imi hamuchapinzi ungano iyi munyika yandakavapa.”
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 Iyi ndiyo mvura yeMeribha, apo vaIsraeri vakarwa naJehovha uye paakazviratidza kuti mutsvene pakati pavo.
These were the waters of Meribah, where the Israelites quarreled with the LORD, and He showed His holiness among them.
14 Mozisi akatuma nhume ari kuKadheshi kuna mambo weEdhomu, achiti: “Zvanzi nomununʼuna wako Israeri: Iwe unoziva matambudziko ose akatiwira.
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 Madzibaba edu akaburuka achienda kuIjipiti, tikandogarako kwamakore mazhinji. VaIjipita vakatibata zvakaipa isu namadzibaba edu,
how our fathers went down to Egypt, where we lived many years. The Egyptians mistreated us and our fathers,
16 asi takati tadana kuna Jehovha, akatinzwa akatuma mutumwa akatibudisa muIjipiti. “Zvino tiri pano paKadheshi, guta riri kumucheto wenyika yenyu.
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 Tapota titendereiwo kupfuura nomunyika yenyu. Hatizopindi nomuminda ipi zvayo kana minda yemizambiringa kana kunwa zvako mvura mutsime ripi zvaro. Tichafamba hedu nomunzira huru yamambo uye hatingatsaukiri kurudyi kana kuruboshwe kusvikira tapfuura nomunyika yenyu.”
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 Asi Edhomu akapindura akati: “Hamupfuuri napano; kana mukaedza, tichabuda tigokurwisai nomunondo.”
But Edom answered, “You may not travel through our land, or we will come out and confront you with the sword.”
19 VaIsraeri vakapindura vakati: “Tichaenda nenzira huru, uye kana isu kana zvipfuwo zvedu zvikanwa mvura yenyu, ticharipa. Tinongoda kupfuura tichifamba netsoka, hapanazve chimwe.”
“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 Vakapindurazve vachiti: “Hamungapfuuri.” Ipapo Edhomu akauya kuzovarwisa nehondo huru uye ine simba.
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 Sezvo Edhomu akaramba kuvabvumira kupfuura nomunyika yavo, vaIsraeri vakatsauka havo kubva kwavari.
So Edom refused to allow Israel to pass through their territory, and Israel turned away from them.
22 Ungano yose yeIsraeri yakasimuka kubva kuKadheshi uye vakasvika paGomo reHori.
After they had set out from Kadesh, the whole congregation of Israel came to Mount Hor.
23 PaGomo reHori, pedyo nomuganhu weEdhomu, Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi naAroni,
And at Mount Hor, near the border of the land of Edom, the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
24 “Aroni achachengetwa kuvanhu vokwake. Haangapindi munyika yandakapa vaIsraeri, nokuti mose muri vaviri makamukira murayiro wangu pamvura yepaMeribha.
“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 Tora Aroni nomwanakomana wake Ereazari ukwire navo muGomo reHori.
Take Aaron and his son Eleazar and bring them up Mount Hor.
26 Ubvise nguo dzaAroni udzipfekedze mwanakomana wake Ereazari nokuti Aroni achasanganiswa navanhu vokwake; achafira ipapo.”
Remove Aaron’s priestly garments and put them on his son Eleazar. Aaron will be gathered to his people and will die there.”
27 Mozisi akaita sezvaakanga arayirwa naJehovha: Vakakwira muGomo reHori pamberi peungano yose.
So Moses did as the LORD had commanded, and they climbed Mount Hor in the sight of the whole congregation.
28 Mozisi akabvisa nguo dzaAroni akadzipfekedza mwanakomana wake Ereazari. Uye Aroni akafira ipapo pamusoro pegomo. Ipapo Mozisi naEreazari vakaburuka kubva mugomo.
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 Uye ungano yose yakati yazvinzwa kuti Aroni akanga afa, imba yose yeIsraeri yakamuchema kwamazuva makumi matatu.
When the whole congregation saw that Aaron had died, the entire house of Israel mourned for him thirty days.
