< Nomipā 20 >
1 Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻio, ʻae kakai kotoa pē, ki he toafa ʻo Sini ʻi he ʻuluaki māhina: pea naʻe nofo ʻae kakai ʻi Ketesi; pea naʻe pekia ʻi ai ʻa Miliame, pea naʻe tanu ia ʻi ai.
以色列子民全會眾於正月來到了親曠野,人民就在卡德士住下了。米黎盎在那裏死了,也就埋在那裏。
2 Pea naʻe ʻikai ha vai ki he kakai pea naʻa nau fakataha fakaangatuʻu kia Mōsese pea mo ʻElone.
會眾沒有人水喝,就聚在一起反抗梅瑟和亞郎。
3 Pea naʻe lāunga ʻae kakai kia Mōsese, ʻonau lea pehē, “ʻAmusiaange ʻekimautolu ki he ʻOtua naʻa mau mate fakataha mo homau kāinga naʻe mate ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova!
民眾同梅瑟爭辯說:「巴不得我們的兄弟也上主面前死去時,我們也死了!
4 Pea ko e hā kuo mo ʻomi ai ʻae kakai ʻa Sihova ki he toafa ni ke mau mate ʻi heni mo ʻemau fanga manu?
為什麼你們領上主的會眾來到這曠野裏,叫我們和我們的牲畜都死在這裏﹖
5 Pea ko e hā kuo mo ʻomi ai ʻakimautolu mei ʻIsipite, ke ʻomi ʻakimautolu ki he potu kovi ni? ʻOku ʻikai ha tenga ʻi he potu ni, pe ha fiki, pe ha vaine, pe ha pomikanite; pea ʻoku ʻikai ha vai ʻi ai ke mau inu.”
為什麼你們使我們由埃及上來,領我們來到這樣壞的地方﹖這地方不但沒有糧食,沒有無花果,沒有葡萄,沒有石榴,而且連喝的水也沒有! 」
6 Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Mōsese mo ʻElone ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fakataha ki he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, pea naʻa na tō ki hona mata, pea naʻe hā mai ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova kiate kinaua.
梅瑟和亞郎遂離開會眾,來到會幕門口,俯伏在地;上主的榮耀遂發現給他們。
7 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
上主吩咐梅瑟說:
8 “Ke ke toʻo ʻae tokotoko, pea tānaki ʻae kakai kenau fakataha, ʻa koe mo ʻElone ko ho taʻokete, pea mo lea ki he maka ʻi honau ʻao, pea ʻe foaki mai ʻe ia ʻa hono vai, pea te ke ʻomi ʻae vai mei he maka kiate kinautolu, pea te ke foaki pehē ʻae vai ki he kakai mo ʻenau fanga manu kenau inu.”
「你拿上棍杖,然後你和你的兄弟亞郎召集會眾,當著他們眼前對這磐石發命,叫磐石流水。這樣你便可使水由磐石中給他們流出,給會眾和他們的牲畜喝」。
9 Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe Mōsese ʻae tokotoko mei he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻo hangē ko ʻene fekau kiate ia.
梅瑟就照上主吩咐他的,由上主面前拿了棍杖。
10 Pea naʻe fakataha ʻe Mōsese mo ʻElone ʻae kakai ki he ʻao ʻoe maka, pea naʻa ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Mou fanongo mai ʻae kau angatuʻu; ʻoku lelei ke ma ʻomi ʻae vai mei he maka ni kiate kimoutolu?”
梅瑟和亞郎召集會眾來到磐石前,對他們說:「你們這些叛徒,聽著! 我們豈能從這磐石中給你們引出水來﹖」
11 Pea naʻe hiki hake ʻe Mōsese ʻa hono nima, pea naʻa ne taaʻi ʻae maka ʻo liunga ua ʻaki ʻa hono tokotoko, pea naʻe hā mai ʻae vai ʻo lahi, pea naʻe inu ai ʻae kakai mo ʻenau fanga manu foki.
梅瑟遂舉起手來,用棍杖打了磐石兩次,才有大量的水湧出,會眾和他們的生畜都喝夠了。
12 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese mo ʻElone, ʻo pehē, “Ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻomo taʻetui kiate au, ke fakaongolelei au ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ko ia ʻe ʻikai ai te mo ʻomi ʻae kakai ni ki he fonua, ʻaia kuo u foaki kiate kinautolu.”
上主卻對梅瑟和亞郎說:「因為你們沒有相信我,使我以色列子民眼前被尊為聖,所以你們不得領這會眾進入我賜給他們的土地」。
13 Ko e vai eni ʻo Melipa, koeʻuhi naʻe fakakē ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli kia Sihova, pea naʻe ongolelei ia ʻiate kinautolu.
這就是默黎巴水的來歷,因為以色列子民在那裏與上主爭辯過,上主因而顯示了自己的聖德。
14 Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese ʻae kau talafekau mei Ketesi ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻItomi, “ʻOku pehē ʻe ho tokoua ko ʻIsileli, Kuo ke ʻilo ʻe koe ʻae fononga kotoa pē kuo tō mai kiate kimautolu:
梅瑟由卡德士派遺使者去見厄東王說:「你的兄弟以色列這樣說:你知道我們所遭遇的一切困難,
15 Mo e ʻalu hifo ʻemau ngaahi tamai ki ʻIsipite, pea mo ʻemau nofo fuoloa ʻi ʻIsipite, pea naʻe fakafiuʻi ʻe he kakai ʻIsipite ʻakimautolu mo ʻemau ngaahi tamai.
我們的祖先下到了埃及。我們在埃及住了很久,埃及人虐待了我們和我們的祖先。
16 Pea ʻi heʻemau tangi kia Sihova naʻa ne ongoʻi ʻa homau leʻo, pea naʻa ne fekau ki heʻene ʻāngelo, pea kuo ne ʻomi ʻakimautolu mei ʻIsipite, pea ko eni, ʻoku mau ʻi Ketesi, ko e kolo ia ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he ngataʻanga moʻoni ʻo ho fonua.
我們曾向上主呼號,衪俯聽了我們的呼聲,派來了一位使者,領我們出離了埃及。看,我們現在就在你邊境上的卡德士城,
17 ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, tuku ke mau ʻalu atu ʻi ho fonua: ʻe ʻikai te mau ʻalu atu ʻi he ngaahi ngoue, pe ʻi he ngaahi ngoue vaine, pea ʻe ʻikai te mau inu ʻae vai ʻoe ngaahi vai keli: te mau ʻalu ʻi he hala motuʻa ʻoe tuʻi, ʻe ʻikai te mau afe ki he nima toʻomataʻu pe ki he toʻohema, kaeʻoua ke tuku ki mui ʻae ngataʻanga ʻo ho fonua.”
求你讓我們由你的境內經過;我們決不會踏過莊田或葡萄園,菩提不喝井裏的水,只走王道,不偏右,也不偏左;直至走過你的國境」。
18 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻItomi kiate ia, “ʻE ʻikai te ke ʻalu ofi kiate au, telia naʻaku ʻalu atu mo e heletā kiate koe.”
厄東卻答覆說:「不准你們由我們這裏經過,不然我要以刀相迎」。
19 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli kiate ia, “Te mau ʻalu ʻi he hala motuʻa, pea kapau te u inu ʻa ho vai pe [inu ]ʻe heʻeku fanga manu, te u totongi kiate koe: ʻe laka atu pe ʻa hoku vaʻe, ka ʻe ʻikai te u fai ha meʻa kehe.”
以色列子民再向他說:「我們只沿大路走,我們和我們的牲畜若喝了你的水,我們願付錢;只求經過這點小事」。
20 Pea naʻa ne pehē, “ʻE ʻikai ʻaupito te ke laka atu.” Pea naʻe haʻu kiate ia ʻa ʻItomi mo e kakai tokolahi, pea mo e nima mālohi.
他仍然說:「不准你經過」。厄東即領大隊人馬和武裝步隊出迎。
21 Naʻe pehē ʻae taʻofi ʻe ʻItomi ʻae ʻalu ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi hono mata fonua: ko ia naʻe foki atu ai ʻa ʻIsileli meiate ia.
厄東既然不讓以色列由他境內經過,以色列就從那裏折回。
22 Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻio, ʻae kakai kotoa pē, mei Ketesi, pea nau haʻu ki he moʻunga ko Hoa.
以色列子民全會眾由卡德士起程,來到了曷爾山。
23 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese mo ʻElone ʻi he moʻunga ko Hoa, ʻi he mata fonua ʻo ʻItomi, ʻo pehē,
在厄東國界的了曷爾山上,上主對梅瑟和亞郎說:
24 “ʻE tānaki ʻa ʻElone ki hono kakai koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai hoko ia ki he fonua ʻaia ne u foaki ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, he naʻa mo talangataʻa ki heʻeku lea ʻi he vai ʻo Melipa.
「亞郎要歸到他祖先那裏去,他不能進入我賜給以色列子民的地方,因為你們在默黎巴取水的事上,違背了我的訓令。
25 Ke ke ʻave ʻa ʻElone mo ʻEliesa ko hono foha, pea ʻomi ʻakinaua ki he moʻunga ko Hoa.
你帶亞郎和他的兒子厄肋阿匝爾,一同上曷爾山上去,
26 Pea ke vete ʻae ngaahi kofu ʻo ʻElone, ʻo fakakofuʻaki ia ʻa ʻEliesa ko hono foha: pea ʻe tānaki ʻa ʻElone ki hono kakai, pea ʻe pekia ia ʻi ai.”
將亞郎的長袍脫下,給他的兒子厄肋阿匝爾穿上,因為亞郎要被召回歸去,死在那裏」。
27 Pea naʻe fai ʻe Mōsese ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova: pea naʻa nau ʻalu hake ki he moʻunga ko Hoa ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai kotoa pē.
梅瑟就照上主吩咐的做了。當著全會眾的面,他們上了曷爾山。
28 Pea naʻe vete ʻe Mōsese ʻae ngaahi kofu ʻo ʻElone, pea ne fakakofuʻaki ʻa ʻEliesa ko hono foha; pea naʻe pekia ʻa ʻElone ʻi he tumutumu ʻoe moʻunga: pea naʻe ʻalu hifo ʻa Mōsese mo ʻEliesa mei he moʻunga.
梅瑟把亞郎的長袍脫下,給他的兒子厄肋阿匝爾穿上,亞郎就在山頂死了。以後梅瑟和厄肋阿匝爾由山上下來。
29 Pea ʻi he mamata ʻae kakai kotoa pē kuo pekia ʻa ʻElone, naʻa nau loto mamahi koeʻuhi ko ʻElone ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolungofulu, ʻio ʻae fale kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli.
全會眾知道亞郎死了,以色列全家為亞郎舉哀三十天。
