Nomipā 20
1And the people of Israel, the whole congregation, came into the wilderness of Zin in the first month, and the people stayed in Kadesh. And Miriam died there and was buried there.
1PEA 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.
2Now there was no water for the congregation. And they assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.
2Pea naʻe ʻikai ha vai ki he kakai pea naʻa nau fakataha fakaangatuʻu kia Mōsese pea mo ʻElone.
3And the people quarreled with Moses and said, “Would that we had perished when our brothers perished before the LORD!
3Pea 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!
4Why have you brought the assembly of the LORD into this wilderness, that we should die here, both we and our cattle?
4Pea ko e hā kuo mo ʻomi ai ʻae kakai ʻa Sihova ki he toafa ni ke mau mate ʻi heni mo ʻemau fanga manu?
5And why have you made us come up out of Egypt to bring us to this evil place? It is no place for grain or figs or vines or pomegranates, and there is no water to drink.”
5Pea 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.”
6Then Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the entrance of the tent of meeting and fell on their faces. And the glory of the LORD appeared to them,
6Pea 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.
7and the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
7Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
8“Take the staff, and assemble the congregation, you and Aaron your brother, and tell the rock before their eyes to yield its water. So you shall bring water out of the rock for them and give drink to the congregation and their cattle.”
8“Ke ke toʻo ʻae tokotoko, pea tānaki ʻae kakai kenau fakataha, ʻa ko e 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.”
9And Moses took the staff from before the LORD, as he commanded him.
9Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe Mōsese ʻae tokotoko mei he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻo hangē ko ʻene fekau kiate ia.
10Then Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock, and he said to them, “Hear now, you rebels: shall we bring water for you out of this rock?”
10Pea 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?”
11And Moses lifted up his hand and struck the rock with his staff twice, and water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their livestock.
11Pea 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.
12And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not believe in me, to uphold me as holy in the eyes of the people of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land that I have given them.”
12Pea 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.”
13These are the waters of Meribah, where the people of Israel quarreled with the LORD, and through them he showed himself holy.
13Ko e vai eni ʻo Melipa, koeʻuhi naʻe fakakē ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli kia Sihova, pea naʻe ongolelei ia ʻiate kinautolu.
14Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom: “Thus says your brother Israel: You know all the hardship that we have met:
14Pea 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 ko e ʻae fononga kotoa pē kuo tō mai kiate kimautolu:
15how our fathers went down to Egypt, and we lived in Egypt a long time. And the Egyptians dealt harshly with us and our fathers.
15Mo 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.
16And when we cried to the LORD, he heard our voice and sent an angel and brought us out of Egypt. And here we are in Kadesh, a city on the edge of your territory.
16Pea 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.
17Please let us pass through your land. We will not pass through field or vineyard, or drink water from a well. We will go along the King’s Highway. We will not turn aside to the right hand or to the left until we have passed through your territory.”
17ʻOku 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.”
18But Edom said to him, “You shall not pass through, lest I come out with the sword against you.”
18Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻItomi kiate ia, “ʻE ʻikai te ke ʻalu ofi kiate au, telia naʻaku ʻalu atu mo e heletā kiate koe.”
19And the people of Israel said to him, “We will go up by the highway, and if we drink of your water, I and my livestock, then I will pay for it. Let me only pass through on foot, nothing more.”
19Pea 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.”
20But he said, “You shall not pass through.” And Edom came out against them with a large army and with a strong force.
20Pea 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.
21Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his territory, so Israel turned away from him.
21Naʻe pehē ʻae taʻofi ʻe ʻItomi ʻae ʻalu ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi hono mata fonua: ko ia naʻe foki atu ai ʻa ʻIsileli meiate ia.
22And they journeyed from Kadesh, and the people of Israel, the whole congregation, came to Mount Hor.
22Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻio, ʻae kakai kotoa pē, mei Ketesi, pea nau haʻu ki he moʻunga ko Hoa.
23And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron at Mount Hor, on the border of the land of Edom,
23Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese mo ʻElone ʻi he moʻunga ko Hoa, ʻi he mata fonua ʻo ʻItomi, ʻo pehē,
24“Let Aaron be gathered to his people, for he shall not enter the land that I have given to the people of Israel, because you rebelled against my command at the waters of Meribah.
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.
25Take Aaron and Eleazar his son and bring them up to Mount Hor.
25Ke ke ʻave ʻa ʻElone mo ʻEliesa ko hono foha, pea ʻomi ʻakinaua ki he moʻunga ko Hoa.
26And strip Aaron of his garments and put them on Eleazar his son. And Aaron shall be gathered to his people and shall die there.”
26Pea 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.”
27Moses did as the LORD commanded. And they went up Mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.
27Pea 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.
28And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments and put them on Eleazar his son. And Aaron died there on the top of the mountain. Then Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.
28Pea 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.
29And when all the congregation saw that Aaron had perished, all the house of Israel wept for Aaron thirty days.
29Pea 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.
