Numbers 20
1 Then the children of Israel came with ye whole Congregation to the desert of Zin in the first moneth, and the people abode at Cadesh: where Miriam died, and was buried there.
Khona abantwana bakoIsrayeli, inhlangano yonke, bafika enkangala yeZini ngenyanga yokuqala; labantu bahlala eKadeshi. UMiriyamu wasefela lapho, wangcwatshwa khona.
2 But there was no water for the Congregation, and they assembled them selues against Moses and against Aaron.
Njalo kwakungelamanzi enhlangano; ngakho bahlangana bamelana loMozisi bamelana loAroni.
3 And the people chode with Moses, and spake, saying, Would God we had perished, when our brethren died before the Lord.
Abantu baphikisana loMozisi bakhuluma besithi: Kungathi ngabe safa ekufeni kwabafowethu phambi kweNkosi!
4 Why haue ye thus brought the Congregation of the Lord vnto his wildernesse, that both we, and our cattell should die there?
Liletheleni ibandla leNkosi enkangala le ukuze sifele lapha, thina lezifuyo zethu?
5 Wherefore nowe haue yee made vs to come vp from Egypt, to bring vs into this miserable place, which is no place of seede, nor figges, nor vines, nor pomegranates? neither is there any water to drinke.
Lasenyuselani sisuka eGibhithe ukusiletha kulindawo embi? Kakusiyo indawo yenhlanyelo lemikhiwa lamavini lamapomegranati, futhi kakulamanzi okunatha.
6 Then Moses and Aaron went from the assemblie vnto the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and fell vpon their faces: and the glory of the Lord appeared vnto them.
UMozisi loAroni basebesuka phambi kwebandla, baya emnyango wethente lenhlangano, bathi mbo ngobuso babo phansi. Inkazimulo yeNkosi yasibonakala kubo.
7 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
8 Take the rod, and gather thou and thy brother Aaron the Congregation together, and speake yee vnto the rocke before their eyes, and it shall giue foorth his water, and thou shalt bring them water out of the rocke: so thou shalt giue the Congregation, and their beastes drinke.
Thatha intonga, ubuthanise inhlangano, wena loAroni umnewenu, likhulume kulo idwala phambi kwamehlo abo, njalo lizanika amanzi alo; ngalokhu uzabakhuphela amanzi edwaleni, ukuze ulinathise ibandla lezifuyo zabo.
9 Then Moses tooke the rod from before the Lord, as he had commanded him.
UMozisi wasethatha intonga esuka phambi kweNkosi njengokumlaya kwayo.
10 And Moses and Aaron gathered the Congregation together before the rocke, and Moses sayd vnto them, Heare nowe, ye rebels: shall we bring you water out of this rocke?
UMozisi loAroni basebebuthanisa ibandla phambi kwedwala; wasesithi kubo: Zwanini-ke, lina bahlamuki; sizalikhuphela yini amanzi edwaleni leli?
11 Then Moses lift vp his hande, and with his rod he smote the rocke twise, and the water came out aboundantly: so the Congregation, and their beastes dranke.
UMozisi wasephakamisa isandla sakhe, watshaya idwala kabili ngentonga yakhe; kwasekumpompoza amanzi amanengi, inhlangano yasinatha, lezifuyo zayo.
12 Againe the Lord spake vnto Moses, and to Aaron, Because ye beleeued me not, to sanctifie mee in the presence of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this Congregation into the land which I haue giuen them.
INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi lakuAroni: Ngoba lingangikholwanga, ukungingcwelisa emehlweni abantwana bakoIsrayeli, ngakho kaliyikungenisa ibandla leli elizweni engibanike lona.
13 This is the water of Meribah, because the children of Israel stroue with the Lord, and hee was sanctified in them.
La ngamanzi eMeriba, lapho abantwana bakoIsrayeli abaphikisana khona leNkosi, yasingcweliswa kubo.
14 Then Moses sent messengers from Kadesh vnto the king of Edom, saying, Thus sayth thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the trauaile that we haue had,
UMozisi wasethuma izithunywa enkosini yeEdoma zisuka eKadeshi wathi: Utsho njalo umfowenu uIsrayeli: Wena uyazazi zonke inkathazo ezisehleleyo,
15 How our fathers went downe into Egypt, and we dwelt in Egypt a long time, where the Egyptians handled vs euill and our fathers.
lokuthi obaba behlela eGibhithe, sasesihlala eGibhithe insuku ezinengi; lamaGibhithe asiphatha kubi labobaba.
16 But when we cried vnto the Lord, he heard our voyce, and sent an Angel, and hath brought vs out of Egypt, and beholde, wee are in the citie Kadesh, in thine vtmost border.
Sasesikhala eNkosini, yasisizwa ilizwi lethu, yathuma ingilosi, yasikhupha eGibhithe; khangela-ke siseKadeshi, umuzi osekucineni komngcele wakho.
17 I pray thee that we may passe through thy countrey: we will not goe through the fieldes nor the vineyardes, neither will we drinke of the water of the welles: we will goe by the kings way, and neither turne vnto the right hand nor to the left, vntill we be past thy borders.
Ake usiyekele sidabule elizweni lakho. Kasiyikudabula ensimini loba esivinini, futhi kasiyikunatha amanzi omthombo. Sizahamba ngomgwaqo wenkosi, kasiyikuphambukela ngakwesokunene langakwesokhohlo, size sedlule umngcele wakho.
18 And Edom answered him, Thou shalt not passe by mee, least I come out against thee with the sword.
Kodwa uEdoma wathi kuye: Kawuyikudabula kimi, hlezi ngiphume ngenkemba ngimelane lawe.
19 Then the children of Israel said vnto him, We will goe vp by the hie way: and if I and my cattell drinke of thy water, I will then pay for it: I will onely (without any harme) goe through on my feete.
Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebesithi kuye: Sizahamba ngomgwaqo omkhulu. Uba-ke mina lezifuyo zami sinatha okwamanzi akho, sizawabhadalela; kuphela ngizadabula ngenyawo zami nje.
20 Hee answered againe, Thou shalt not goe through. The Edom came out against him with much people, and with a mightie power.
Kodwa wathi: Kawuyikudabula. UEdoma wasephuma wamelana laye elabantu abanengi, langesandla esilamandla.
21 Thus Edom denyed to giue Israel passage through his countrey: wherefore Israel turned away from him.
Ngalokhu uEdoma wala ukuvumela uIsrayeli ukudabula emngceleni wakhe. Ngakho uIsrayeli waphambuka wasuka kuye.
22 And when the children of Israel with al the Congregation departed from Kadesh, they came vnto the mount Hor.
Abantwana bakoIsrayeli, inhlangano yonke, basebesuka eKadeshi, bafika entabeni yeHori.
23 And the Lord spake vnto Moses and to Aaron in the mount Hor neere the coast of the land of Edom, saying,
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi lakuAroni entabeni yeHori, emngceleni welizwe leEdoma, isithi:
24 Aaron shall be gathered vnto his people: for hee shall not enter into the lande, which I haue giuen vnto the children of Israel, because ye disobeyed my commandement at the water of Meribah.
UAroni uzabuthelwa ebantwini bakibo, ngoba kayikungena elizweni engilinike abantwana bakoIsrayeli, ngoba lahlamukela ilizwi lami emanzini eMeriba.
25 Take Aaron and Eleazar his sonne, and bring them vp into the mount Hor,
Thatha uAroni loEleyazare indodana yakhe, ubenyusele entabeni yeHori,
26 And cause Aaron to put off his garmentes and put them vpon Eleazar his sonne: for Aaron shall be gathered to his fathers, and shall die there.
umhlubule uAroni izembatho zakhe, uzifake kuEleyazare indodana yakhe; ngoba uAroni uzabuthelwa kwabakibo, afele lapho.
27 And Moses did as the Lord had commanded: and they went vp into the mount Hor, in the sight of all the Congregation.
UMozisi wenza njengokulaya kweNkosi. Basebesenyukela entabeni yeHori phambi kwamehlo enhlangano yonke.
28 And Moses put off Aarons clothes, and put them vpon Eleazar his sonne: so Aaron dyed there in the top of the mount: and Moses and Eleazar came downe from off the mount.
UMozisi wasemhlubula uAroni izembatho zakhe, wazifaka kuEleyazare indodana yakhe. UAroni wasefela lapho engqongeni yentaba. UMozisi loEleyazare basebesehla entabeni.
29 When al the Congregation sawe that Aaron was dead, al the house of Israel wept for Aaron thirtie dayes.
Lapho inhlangano yonke ibona ukuthi uAroni usephelile, balilela uAroni insuku ezingamatshumi amathathu, indlu yonke kaIsrayeli.
