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.
It was during the first month of the year that all the Israelites arrived in the Desert of Zin and set up camp in Kadesh. (This was where Miriam died and was buried.)
2 Omi kò sí fún ìjọ ènìyàn, àwọn ènìyàn sì kó ara wọn jọ pọ̀ sí Mose àti Aaroni,
However, there was no water there for anyone to drink, so the people gathered to confront 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!
They argued with Moses, saying, “If only we'd died with our relatives in the Lord's presence!
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 brought the Lord's people into this desert just so we and our livestock can die here?
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 lead us out of Egypt to come to this awful place? Nothing grows here—no grain or figs or vines or pomegranates. And there's no 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.
Moses and Aaron left the people and went to entrance of the Tent of Meeting. There they fell facedown on the ground, and the glory of the Lord appeared to them.
7 Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé,
The Lord told Moses,
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 walking stick and have the people gather around you. As they watch, you and your brother Aaron will order the rock and it will pour out water. You will bring water from the rock so the people and their livestock can drink.”
9 Báyìí ni Mose mú ọ̀pá láti iwájú Olúwa wá, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti pàṣẹ fún un.
Moses picked up the walking stick that was kept in the Lord's presence, as he had been ordered.
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?”
Moses and Aaron had everyone gather in front of the rock. Moses said to them, “Listen, you bunch of rebels! Do we have to bring water out of this rock for you?”
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.
Then Moses picked up the walking stick and hit the rock twice. Streams of water gushed out so that the people and their livestock could 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.”
But the Lord told Moses and Aaron, “Because you didn't trust me enough to demonstrate how holy I am to the Israelites, you will not be the ones to lead them into the country I've given 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.
The place where the Israelites argued with the Lord was called the waters of Meribah, and was where he revealed his holiness to 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.
Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, telling him, “This is what your brother Israel says. You know all about the difficulties we've faced.
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,
Our forefathers went to Egypt and we lived there for a long time. The Egyptians treated us and our forefathers badly,
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.
so we called out to the Lord for help, and he heard our cries. He sent an angel and led us out of Egypt. Listen, now we are in Kadesh, a town on the border of your territory.
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.”
Please allow us to travel through your country. We won't cross any of your fields or vineyards, or drink water from any of your wells. We will stay on the King's Highway; we won't turn off either to the right or to the left until we have passed through your country.”
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.”
But the king of Edom replied, “You are forbidden to travel through our country, otherwise we will come out and stop you by force.”
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.”
“We'll keep to the main road,” the Israelites persisted. “If we or our livestock drink your water, we'll pay you for it. That's all we want—just to pass through on foot.”
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 the king of Edom insisted, “You are forbidden to travel through our country!” He came out with his large and powerful army to meet the Israelites head-on.
21 Nígbà tí Edomu sì kọ̀ jálẹ̀ láti jẹ́ kí wọn kọjá ní ilẹ̀ wọn, Israẹli yípadà kúrò lọ́dọ̀ wọn.
Since the king of Edom refused to allow Israel to travel through his territory, the Israelites had to turn back.
22 Gbogbo ìjọ ènìyàn Israẹli sì jáde láti Kadeṣi wọ́n sì wá sí orí òkè Hori.
The Israelites all left Kadesh and traveled to Mount Hor.
23 Ní orí òkè Hori, ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ ààlà Edomu Olúwa sọ fún Mose àti Aaroni pé,
At Mount Hor, near the border with the country of Edom, the Lord told Moses and Aaron,
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.
“Aaron will shortly join his forefathers in death. He will not enter the country I have given the Israelites, because you both disobeyed my command at the waters of Meribah.
25 Mú Aaroni àti ọmọ rẹ̀ Eleasari lọ sí orí òkè Hori.
Have Aaron and his son Eleazar join you and climb up Mount Hor together.
26 Bọ́ aṣọ Aaroni kí o sì gbe wọ ọmọ rẹ̀ Eleasari, nítorí pé Aaroni yóò kú síbẹ̀.”
Take off Aaron's priestly clothes and put them on his son Eleazar. Aaron is going to die there and join his forefathers in death.”
27 Mose sì ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ, wọ́n lọ sí orí òkè Hori ní ojú gbogbo ìjọ ènìyàn.
Moses did as the Lord ordered: They climbed up Mount Hor in full view of all the Israelites.
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,
Moses removed the priestly clothes that Aaron was wearing and put them on Aaron's son Eleazar. Aaron died there, on the top of the mountain. Then Moses and Eleazar went back down.
29 nígbà tí gbogbo ìjọ ènìyàn sì gbọ́ pé Aaroni ti kú, gbogbo ilé Israẹli ṣe ìdárò rẹ̀ fún ọgbọ̀n ọjọ́.
When the people realized that Aaron had died, they all mourned for him for thirty days.
