Okubala 20
1 Mu mwezi ogw’olubereberye, ekibiina kyonna eky’abaana ba Isirayiri, ne batuuka mu ddungu lya Zini, ne batuula mu Kadesi. Miryamu n’afiira eyo, era gye yaziikibwa.
The children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came into the wilderness of Zin in the first month. The people stayed in Kadesh. Miriam died there, and was buried there.
2 Awo ekibiina kyonna ne kitaba na mazzi. Abantu bonna ne beekuŋŋanyiza ku Musa ne Alooni.
There was no water for the congregation; and they assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.
3 Ne bayombesa Musa nga bagamba nti, “Singa nno naffe twafa, baganda baffe bwe baafiira mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda!
The people quarreled with Moses, and spoke, saying, “We wish that we had died when our brothers died before the LORD!
4 Lwaki waleeta ekibiina kya Mukama Katonda kino mu ddungu tulyoke tufiire wano n’ebisibo byaffe?
Why have you brought the LORD’s assembly into this wilderness, that we should die there, we and our animals?
5 Lwaki watuggya mu nsi y’e Misiri okutuleeta mu kifo kino ekibi bwe kiti? Tekiriimu mmere ya mpeke wadde ttiini, so si kifo kya mizabbibu, so si kya mikomamawanga. Tewali na mazzi ge tuyinza kunywako!”
Why have you made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in to this evil place? It is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither is there any water to drink.”
6 Awo Musa ne Alooni ne bava mu maaso g’ekibiina ky’abantu ne balaga ku mulyango gwa Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, ne bavuunama wansi. Ekitiibwa kya Mukama Katonda ne kibalabikira.
Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and fell on their faces. The LORD’s glory appeared to them.
7 Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
8 “Twala omuggo, ggwe ne muganda wo Alooni mukuŋŋaanye ekibiina kyonna. Lagira olwazi nga n’ekibiina kyonna kiraba, lujja kufukumula amazzi. Bw’otyo obaggire amazzi mu lwazi, basobole okunywako, era banywese n’ebisibo byabwe.”
“Take the rod, and assemble the congregation, you, and Aaron your brother, and speak to the rock before their eyes, that it pour out its water. You shall bring water to them out of the rock; so you shall give the congregation and their livestock drink.”
9 Musa n’aggya omuggo awali Mukama n’agutwala nga Mukama Katonda bwe yamulagira.
Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him.
10 Musa ne Alooni ne bakuŋŋanyiza ekibiina ky’abantu bonna awali olwazi, Musa n’agamba abantu nti, “Mumpulirize, mmwe abajeemu; kitugwanidde ffe okubaggyira amazzi mu lwazi luno?”
Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock, and he said to them, “Hear now, you rebels! Shall we bring water out of this rock for you?”
11 Awo Musa n’ayimusa omukono gwe n’akuba olwazi n’omuggo gwe emirundi ebiri. Amazzi mangi ne gafukumuka okuva mu lwazi, abantu bonna mu kibiina ne banywa, n’ebisibo byabwe nabyo ne binywa.
Moses lifted up his hand, and struck the rock with his rod twice, and water came out abundantly. The congregation and their livestock drank.
12 Naye Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa ne Alooni nti, “Olwokubanga temunneesize, ne mutampa kitiibwa, ne mutalaga kibiina kino eky’abaana ba Isirayiri nga bwe ndi omutukuvu, noolwekyo temugenda kutuusa kibiina ky’abantu bano mu nsi gye mbasuubizza okubawa.”
The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you didn’t believe in me, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.”
13 Ago ge mazzi ag’e Meriba, abaana ba Isirayiri gye baayombera ne Mukama, era ne Mukama Katonda gye yeeragira mu bo nga mutukuvu.
These are the waters of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them.
14 Musa yatumira Kabaka wa Edomu ababaka ng’asinziira e Kadesi ng’amugamba nti, “Muganda wo Isirayiri agamba bw’ati nti: Ebizibu byonna ebyatutuukako obimanyi.
Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, saying: “Your brother Israel says: You know all the travail that has happened to us;
15 Omanyi nga bajjajjaffe bwe baaserengeta mu Misiri, ne tumalayo emyaka mingi. Abamisiri ne bayisa bubi bakadde baffe, era naffe;
how our fathers went down into Egypt, and we lived in Egypt a long time. The Egyptians mistreated us and our fathers.
16 naye bwe twakaabirira Mukama Katonda, yawulira okukaaba kwaffe, n’atutumira malayika n’atuggya mu nsi y’e Misiri. Kaakano tuli wano mu Kadesi, ekibuga ekiri ku nsalo n’ensi yo.
When we cried to the LORD, he heard our voice, sent an angel, and brought us out of Egypt. Behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the edge of your border.
17 “Nkwegayirira otukkirize tuyite mu nsi yo. Tetuliyita mu birime wadde mu nnimiro z’emizabbibu, era tetugenda kunywa na ku mazzi agali mu nzizi. Tugenda kutambulira mu Luguudo lwa Kabaka Olunene, era tetugenda kuluvaamu kukyamako ku ludda olwa kkono oba olwa ddyo okutuusa nga tumaze okuva mu nsi yo.”
“Please let us pass through your land. We will not pass through field or through vineyard, neither will we drink from the water of the wells. We will go along the king’s highway. We will not turn away to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed your border.”
18 Naye Edomu n’addamu nti, “Tojja kuyita wano, bw’onookikola tujja kwesowolayo tukulumbe n’ekitala.”
Edom said to him, “You shall not pass through me, lest I come out with the sword against you.”
19 Abaana ba Isirayiri ne baddamu nti, “Tujja kwambukira mu luguudo olunene mwokka, era ebisibo byaffe naffe bwe tunaanywa ku mazzi gammwe tujja kugasasulira. Twagala kuyitawo buyisi nga tutambuza bigere, tetwetaagayo kirala.”
The children of Israel said to him, “We will go up by the highway; and if we drink your water, I and my livestock, then I will give its price. Only let me, without doing anything else, pass through on my feet.”
20 Naye Edomu n’addamu nti, “Temuyitawo.” Edomu ne yeesowolayo n’eggye ddene nnyo era nga lya maanyi.
He said, “You shall not pass through.” Edom came out against him with many people, and with a strong hand.
21 Bw’atyo Edomu n’agaana Isirayiri okuyitira mu matwale ge, Isirayiri n’amuviira.
Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border, so Israel turned away from him.
22 Awo ekibiina kyonna eky’abaana ba Isirayiri ne basitula okuva e Kadesi, ne batuuka ku lusozi Koola.
They traveled from Kadesh, and the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came to Mount Hor.
23 Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa ne Alooni, nga bali ku lusozi Koola okuliraana n’ensalo y’ensi ya Edomu, nti,
The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron in Mount Hor, by the border of the land of Edom, saying,
24 “Alooni ajja kugenda abantu be bonna gye baalaga, kubanga tagenda kuyingira mu nsi gye nzija okuwa abaana ba Isirayiri. Kubanga mwembi mwajeemera ekiragiro kyange ku mazzi ag’e Meriba.
“Aaron shall be gathered to his people; for he shall not enter into the land which I have given to the children of Israel, because you rebelled against my word at the waters of Meribah.
25 Leeta Alooni ne mutabani we Eriyazaali, obaleete ku lusozi Koola;
Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up to Mount Hor;
26 Alooni omwambulemu ebyambalo bye, obyambaze Eriyazaali mutabani we, kubanga Alooni ajja kufa agende abantu be bonna gye baalaga.”
and strip Aaron of his garments, and put them on Eleazar his son. Aaron shall be gathered, and shall die there.”
27 Musa n’akola nga Mukama bwe yamulagira; ne balinnya olusozi Koola ng’abantu bonna mu kibiina balaba.
Moses did as the LORD commanded. They went up onto Mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.
28 Musa n’ayambulamu Alooni ebyambalo, n’abyambaza Eriyazaali mutabani wa Alooni. Alooni n’afiira awo ku ntikko y’olusozi. Musa ne Eriyazaali ne baserengeta ne bakka wansi w’olusozi.
Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them on Eleazar his son. Aaron died there on the top of the mountain, and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.
29 Abantu bonna mu kibiina bwe bategeera nga Alooni afudde, ab’omu nnyumba ya Isirayiri bonna ne bakungubagira Alooni okumala ennaku amakumi asatu.
When all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they wept for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.
