Numbers 20

1 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.

Sou premye mwa a, tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo te rive nan dezè Zin lan, epi yo moute tant yo yon kote yo rele Kadès. Se la Miryam mouri, se la menm yo antere l'.

2 And when the people were in need of water, they came together against Moses and Aaron.

Men, pa t' gen dlo la pou pèp la te bwè. Pèp la sanble bò kote Moyiz ak Arawon, yo leve kont ak yo.

3 And as it turned into sedition, they said: “If only we had perished among our brothers in the sight of the Lord.

Pèp la fè kont ak Moyiz, yo di l' konsa: -Pa pito nou te mouri devan lotèl Seyè a ansanm ak lòt frè nou yo!

4 Why have you led away the Church of the Lord, into the wilderness, so that both we and our cattle would die?

Poukisa ou mennen nou nan dezè a? Gen lè se pou fè nou mouri, nou menm pèp Seyè a, ansanm ak tou bèt nou yo?

5 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?”

Poukisa ou fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip la pou mennen nou nan move kote sa a? Se yon kote ou pa jwenn grenn pou simen, ou pa jwenn okenn pye fig frans, ni pye rezen, ni pye grenad. Pa menm gen dlo pou moun bwè!

6 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.

Moyiz ak Arawon pati kite pèp la, y' ale devan pòt Tant Randevou a. Yo lage kò yo fas atè, epi bèl limyè prezans Bondye a parèt sou yo.

7 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:

8 “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.”

-Pran baton ki sou devan Bwat Kontra a. Lèfini, ou menm ak Arawon, frè ou la, sanble tout pèp la. Epi devan yo tout, w'a pale ak wòch ki bò laba a, wòch la va bay dlo. Se konsa w'a fè dlo soti nan wòch la pou pèp la, pou yo tout ka bwè ansanm ak bèt yo.

9 Therefore, Moses took the rod, which was in the sight of the Lord, just as he had instructed him.

Moyiz pran baton ki sou devan lotèl la, jan Seyè a te ba li lòd la.

10 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?”

Moyiz ak Arawon sanble tout pèp la devan gwo wòch la. Epi Moyiz di yo: -Louvri zòrèy nou, bann moun tèt di! Se vle nou vle mwen fè dlo soti nan wòch sa a pou nou?

11 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.

Moyiz leve men l', li frape wòch la de fwa avèk baton an. Epi yon gwo sous dlo pete nan wòch la. Tout moun yo bwè ansanm ak bèt yo tou.

12 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.”

Men, Seyè a di Moyiz ak Arawon konsa: -Paske nou pa t' fin gen konfyans nèt nan mwen pou n' te fè moun pèp Izrayèl yo wè jan mwen se yon Bondye apa, se pa nou menm m'ap kite mennen pèp la antre nan peyi mwen pwomèt m'ap ba yo a.

13 This is the Water of Contradiction, where the sons of Israel were quarreling against the Lord, and he was sanctified in them.

Se kote sa a yo rele sous Meriba a, paske se la moun pèp Izrayèl yo te leve kont ak Seyè a. Se la Seyè a te moutre yo li se yon Bondye ki pa tankou lòt bondye yo.

14 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,

Moyiz rete Kadès, li voye kèk mesaje bò wa peyi Edon an pou di l' konsa: -Men sa moun pèp Izrayèl yo, moun menm fanmi ak ou yo, voye di ou: Ou konnen tout tray nou pase.

15 how our fathers descended into Egypt, and we lived there for a long time, and the Egyptians afflicted both us and our fathers,

Ou konnen ki jan zansèt nou yo te desann al rete nan peyi Lejip pandan lontan, ki jan moun peyi sa a tonbe maltrete nou menm jan yo te maltrete zansèt nou yo.

16 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.

Lè nou wè sa, nou rele nan pye Seyè a. Li tande vwa nou, epi li voye zanj li, li fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip sa a. Koulye a, men nou Kadès, yon lavil ki toupre fwontyè peyi ou la.

17 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.”

Tanpri, n'ap mande ou yon ti pèmisyon pou nou pase ase nan mitan peyi ou la. Nou p'ap kite wout nou pou n' pase nan mitan jaden ou, ni nan mitan pye rezen ou yo. Ata dlo nan pi ou yo nou p'ap bwè. Nou p'ap kite gran chemen w'a moutre nou an, nou p'ap vire ni adwat ni agoch, jouk n'a fin travèse lòt bò peyi a.

18 Edom responded to them: “You shall not cross through me, otherwise, I will meet you armed.”

Wa Edon an voye di yo: -Non. Nou p'ap kite nou travèse peyi a. Si nou chache fè sa, n'ap mache pran nou, n'ap atake nou.

19 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.”

Men, moun pèp Izrayèl yo voye di l' ankò: -Nou p'ap kite gran chemen w'a louvri devan nou an. Epi si yonn nan nou, osinon yonn nan bèt nou yo ta bwè nan dlo peyi ou la, n'ap peye ou pou sa. Se annik pase nou bezwen pase nan mitan peyi a, pa lòt bagay!

20 But he answered, “You shall not cross.” And immediately he went out to meet them with a countless multitude and a strong hand;

Men, wa Edon an voye di yo ankò: -Non! Nou p'ap pase menm! Epi li soti avèk yon gwo lame ak yon bann lòt moun, yo mache kontre moun pèp Izrayèl yo.

21 neither was he willing to agree to their petition to concede passage through his borders. For this reason, Israel diverted away from him.

Se konsa moun peyi Edon yo te refize kite moun pèp Izrayèl yo pase nan peyi yo a. Kifè moun Izrayèl yo te blije vire do yo, fè yon lòt wout.

22 And when they had moved the camp from Kadesh, they arrived at mount Hor, which is at the borders of the land of Edom,

Tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo kite Kadès, yo rive sou Mòn Or la,

23 where the Lord spoke to Moses:

ki te toupre fwontyè peyi Edon an. Antan yo la, Seyè a pale ak Moyiz ansanm ak Arawon, li di yo:

24 “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.

-Arawon pa pral antre nan peyi mwen pwomèt pou m' bay moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Msye pral mouri, li pral jwenn moun li yo ki te mouri anvan l' yo, paske nou tou de, nou pa t' fè sa mwen te ban nou lòd fè bò sous dlo Meriba a.

25 Take Aaron, and his son with him, and lead them on to mount Hor.

Pran Arawon ak Eleaza, pitit gason l' lan, moute sou mòn Or la ak yo.

26 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.”

W'a wete rad espesyal ki sou Arawon yo, w'a mete yo sou Eleaza, pitit gason l' lan. Se la sou mòn lan Arawon pral mouri.

27 Moses did just as the Lord had instructed. And they ascended mount Hor, in the sight of the entire multitude.

Moyiz fè tou sa Seyè a te mande l' fè a: Devan je tout moun, yo tou twa yo moute sou mòn Or la.

28 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.

Lèfini, Moyiz wete rad espesyal ki te sou Arawon yo, li mete yo sou Eleaza, pitit gason Arawon an. Se la sou tèt mòn lan Arawon mouri. Apre sa, Moyiz ak Eleaza desann desann yo sou mòn lan.

29 And the entire multitude, seeing that Aaron lay dead, wept over him for thirty days, throughout all their families.

Tout pèp la vin konnen Arawon te mouri. Se konsa tout moun nan pèp Izrayèl la pase trant jou ap kriye pou Arawon.
