Numbers 20
1 Ní oṣù kìn-ín-ní, gbogbo àgbájọ ọmọ Israẹli gúnlẹ̀ sí pápá Sini, wọ́n sì dúró ní Kadeṣi. Níbẹ̀ ni Miriamu kú, wọ́n sì sin ín.
And the sons of Israel, and the entire multitude, went into the desert of Sin, in the first month. And the people stayed at Kadesh. And Miriam died there, and she was buried in the same place.
2 Omi kò sí fún ìjọ ènìyàn, àwọn ènìyàn sì kó ara wọn jọ pọ̀ sí Mose àti Aaroni,
And when the people were in need of water, they came together against Moses and Aaron.
3 wọ́n bá Mose jà wọ́n sì wí pé, “Ìbá kúkú sàn kí a kú nígbà tí àwọn arákùnrin ti kú níwájú Olúwa!
And as it turned into sedition, they said: “If only we had perished among our brothers in the sight of the Lord.
4 Kí ni ó dé tí o sì kó gbogbo ìjọ ènìyàn Olúwa wá sí aginjù yìí, kí àwa àti àwọn ẹran ọ̀sìn wa bá à kú síbí?
Why have you led away the Church of the Lord, into the wilderness, so that both we and our cattle would die?
5 Kí ni ó dé tí o fi mú wa gòkè kúrò ní Ejibiti wá sí ibi búburú yìí? Ibi tí kò ní oúnjẹ tàbí igi ọ̀pọ̀tọ́, èso àjàrà tàbí pomegiranate. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò sí omi tí a ó mu níhìn-ín!”
Why did you cause us to ascend from Egypt, and why have you led us into this most wretched place, which is not able to be sown, which does not produce figs, or vines, or pomegranates, and which, moreover, does not even have water to drink?”
6 Mose àti Aaroni kúrò ní ibi àpéjọ, wọ́n sì lọ dojúbolẹ̀ sí ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgọ́ ìpàdé, ògo Olúwa sì farahàn wọ́n.
And Moses and Aaron, dismissing the multitude, entered the tabernacle of the covenant, and they fell prone on the ground, and they cried out to the Lord, and they said: “O Lord God, listen to the outcry of this people, and open for them, from your storehouse, a fountain of living water, so that, being satisfied, their murmuring may cease.” And the glory of the Lord appeared over them.
7 Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
8 “Mú ọ̀pá, náà kí o sì pe ìjọ àwọn ènìyàn jọ, ìwọ àti Aaroni arákùnrin rẹ, kí ẹ sọ̀rọ̀ sí àpáta náà ní ojú wọn, yóò sì tú omi rẹ̀ jáde, ìwọ ó sì fún ìjọ àti ẹran wọn mu.”
“Take the rod, and gather the people, you and your brother Aaron, and speak to the rock before them, and it shall bestow waters. And when you have brought forth water from the rock, the entire multitude and their cattle shall drink.”
9 Báyìí ni Mose mú ọ̀pá láti iwájú Olúwa wá, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti pàṣẹ fún un.
Therefore, Moses took the rod, which was in the sight of the Lord, just as he had instructed him.
10 Òun àti Aaroni pe àwọn ènìyàn jọ sí ojú kan níwájú àpáta, Mose sì sọ fún wọn, “Ẹ gbọ́, ẹ̀yin ọlọ̀tẹ̀, àwa kì yóò lè mú omi jáde láti inú àpáta yìí wá bí?”
And having gathered the multitude before the rock, he said to them: “Listen, you who are rebellious and unbelieving. Would we be able to cast out water from this rock?”
11 Nígbà náà ni Mose gbé ọwọ́ rẹ̀ sókè ó sì fi ọ̀pá ọwọ́ rẹ̀ lu àpáta lẹ́ẹ̀méjì. Omi sì tú jáde, gbogbo ìjọ ènìyàn àti àwọn ẹran ọ̀sìn wọn sì mu.
And when Moses had lifted up his hand, striking the stone twice with the rod, very great waters went forth, so much so that the people and their cattle were able to drink.
12 Ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa sọ fún Mose àti Aaroni pé, “Nítorí pé ẹ̀yin kò gbà mí gbọ́ tó láti bu ọlá fún mi níwájú àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, ìwọ kò ní kó àwọn ìjọ ènìyàn yìí dé ilẹ̀ tí mo fún wọn.”
And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not believe me, so as to sanctify me before the sons of Israel, you shall not lead this people into the land, which I will give to them.”
13 Èyí ni omi ti Meriba, níbi tí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ti bá Olúwa jà àti ibi tí O ti fi ara rẹ̀ hàn bí ẹni mímọ́ láàrín wọn.
This is the Water of Contradiction, where the sons of Israel were quarreling against the Lord, and he was sanctified in them.
14 Mose sì ránṣẹ́ láti Kadeṣi sí ọba Edomu, wí pé, “Èyí ni nǹkan tí arákùnrin rẹ Israẹli sọ, ìwọ ti mọ̀ nípa gbogbo ìnira, tí ó wá sí orí wa.
Meanwhile, Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom. They said: “Your brother Israel says this: You know of all the hardships which have overtaken us,
15 Àwọn baba ńlá wa sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá sí Ejibiti, a sì gbé ibẹ̀ fún ọ̀pọ̀ ọdún. Àwọn ará Ejibiti ni wá lára àti àwọn baba wa,
how our fathers descended into Egypt, and we lived there for a long time, and the Egyptians afflicted both us and our fathers,
16 ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí a sọkún sí Olúwa, ó gbọ́ ẹkún wa, ó sì rán angẹli kan sí wa, ó sì mú wa jáde láti Ejibiti. “Báyìí àwa wà ní Kadeṣi, ìlú tí ó wà ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ ilẹ̀ rẹ.
and how we cried out to the Lord, and he heeded us and sent an Angel, who led us away from Egypt. Behold, we are situated in the city of Kadesh, which is at the extremity of your borders.
17 Jọ̀wọ́ jẹ́ kí a gba orílẹ̀-èdè rẹ kọjá, àwa kì yóò gba inú oko tàbí ọgbà àjàrà rẹ kọjá, tàbí mu omi láti inú kànga. A ó ma kọjá ní òpópónà ọba, àwa kì yóò yà sí ọ̀tún tàbí sí òsì títí àwa yóò fi kọjá ní ilẹ̀ rẹ.”
And we beg you to permit us to cross through your land. We will not go through the fields, nor through the vineyards; we will not drink the waters of your wells, but we will travel by the public ways, neither turning aside to the right, nor to the left, until we have passed your borders.”
18 Ṣùgbọ́n Edomu dáhùn pé, “Ẹ̀yin kò le gba ibí kọjá; bí ẹ bá dán an wò, a ó dìde ogun sí yín, a ó sì bá yín jà pẹ̀lú idà.”
Edom responded to them: “You shall not cross through me, otherwise, I will meet you armed.”
19 Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli dáhùn pé, “A ó gba ọ̀nà tóóró, bí àwa tàbí ẹran ọ̀sìn wa bá sì mú lára omi rẹ, a ó san owó rẹ̀. A kàn fẹ́ rìn kọjá lórí ilẹ̀ rẹ ni kò sí nǹkan kan mìíràn tí a fẹ́ ṣe.”
And the sons of Israel said: “We will travel by the well-trodden path. And if we or our cattle drink from your waters, we will give you what is just. There shall be no difficulty in the price, only let us cross through quickly.”
20 Wọ́n tún dáhùn wí pé, “Ẹ kò lè kọjá.” Nígbà náà ni Edomu jáde wá láti kọjú ìjà sí wọn pẹ̀lú ọ̀pọ̀ àti alágbára ọmọ-ogun.
But he answered, “You shall not cross.” And immediately he went out to meet them with a countless multitude and a strong hand;
21 Nígbà tí Edomu sì kọ̀ jálẹ̀ láti jẹ́ kí wọn kọjá ní ilẹ̀ wọn, Israẹli yípadà kúrò lọ́dọ̀ wọn.
neither was he willing to agree to their petition to concede passage through his borders. For this reason, Israel diverted away from him.
22 Gbogbo ìjọ ènìyàn Israẹli sì jáde láti Kadeṣi wọ́n sì wá sí orí òkè Hori.
And when they had moved the camp from Kadesh, they arrived at mount Hor, which is at the borders of the land of Edom,
23 Ní orí òkè Hori, ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ ààlà Edomu Olúwa sọ fún Mose àti Aaroni pé,
where the Lord spoke to Moses:
24 “Aaroni yóò kú. Kò ní wọ ilẹ̀ tí mo fi fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, nítorí ẹ̀yin méjèèjì ṣe àìgbọ́ràn sí òfin mi níbi omi Meriba.
“Let Aaron,” he said, “go to his people. For he shall not enter into the land which I have given to the sons of Israel, because he did not believe my mouth at the Waters of Contradiction.
25 Mú Aaroni àti ọmọ rẹ̀ Eleasari lọ sí orí òkè Hori.
Take Aaron, and his son with him, and lead them on to mount Hor.
26 Bọ́ aṣọ Aaroni kí o sì gbe wọ ọmọ rẹ̀ Eleasari, nítorí pé Aaroni yóò kú síbẹ̀.”
And when you have stripped the father of his vestments, you shall put them on Eleazar, his son. Aaron shall be gathered and shall die there.”
27 Mose sì ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ, wọ́n lọ sí orí òkè Hori ní ojú gbogbo ìjọ ènìyàn.
Moses did just as the Lord had instructed. And they ascended mount Hor, in the sight of the entire multitude.
28 Mose bọ́ aṣọ Aaroni ó sì gbe wọ ọmọ rẹ̀ Eleasari, Aaroni sì kú sí orí òkè. Nígbà náà Mose àti Eleasari sọ̀kalẹ̀ láti orí òkè,
And when he had despoiled Aaron of his vestments, he clothed his son Eleazar with them. And when Aaron had died at the top of the mountain, Moses came down with Eleazar.
29 nígbà tí gbogbo ìjọ ènìyàn sì gbọ́ pé Aaroni ti kú, gbogbo ilé Israẹli ṣe ìdárò rẹ̀ fún ọgbọ̀n ọjọ́.
And the entire multitude, seeing that Aaron lay dead, wept over him for thirty days, throughout all their families.
