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.
Kaya ang mga tao ng Israel, ang buong sambayanan ay pumunta sa ilang ng Sin sa unang buwan; nanatili sila sa Kades. Doon namatay at inilibing si Miriam.
2 And when the people were in need of water, they came together against Moses and Aaron.
Walang tubig para sa sambayanan, kaya nagtipun-tipon sila laban kina Moises at Aaron.
3 And as it turned into sedition, they said: “If only we had perished among our brothers in the sight of the Lord.
Nagreklamo ang mga tao laban kay Moises. Sinabi nila, “Mas mabuti pa ngang namatay nalang kami nang mamatay ang kasamahan naming mga Israelita sa harap ni Yahweh!
4 Why have you led away the Church of the Lord, into the wilderness, so that both we and our cattle would die?
Bakit mo dinala ang sambayanan ni Yahweh sa ilang na ito para mamatay dito, kami at ang aming mga hayop?
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?”
At bakit mo kami inilabas sa Ehipto para dalhin kami sa nakakakilabot na lugar na ito? Walang butil dito, mga igos, mga puno ng ubas, o mga granada. At walang tubig na maiinom.”
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.
Kaya umalis sina Moises at Aaron mula sa harap ng kapulungan. Pumunta sila sa pasukan ng tolda ng pagpupulong at nagpatirapa. Doon nagpakita ang makinang na kaluwalhatian ni Yahweh sa kanila.
7 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Nagsalita si Yahweh kay Moises at sinabin,
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.”
“Kunin mo ang iyong tungkod at tipunin ang sambayanan, ikaw at si Aaron na iyong kapatid. Magsalita ka sa bato sa kanilang paningin, at utusan mo ang bato na magpadaloy ng tubig. Makakakuha ka ng tubig para sa kanila mula sa batong iyan, at dapat mong ibigay ito sa sambayanan at sa kanilang mga baka para inumin.”
9 Therefore, Moses took the rod, which was in the sight of the Lord, just as he had instructed him.
Kinuha ni Moises ang kaniyang tungkod sa harap ni Yahweh gaya ng iniutos ni Yahweh na kaniyang gawin.
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?”
At tinipong magkakasama nina Moises at Aaron ang kapulungan sa harap ng bato. Sinabi ni Moises sa kanila, “Makinig kayo ngayon, kayong mga mapaghimagsik. Dapat ba kaming magpadaloy ng tubig mula sa batong ito para sa inyo?”
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.
Pagkatapos, itinaas ni Moises ang kaniyang kamay at hinampas ng dalawang beses ang bato sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang tungkod, at lumabas ang maraming tubig. Uminom ang sambayanan at ang kanilang mga baka.
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.”
Pagkatapos sinabi ni Yahweh kina Moises at Aaron, “Dahil hindi kayo nagtiwala sa akin o inilaan ako na maging banal sa mga mata ng mga tao ng Israel, hindi ninyo madadala ang kapulungang ito sa lupain na ibinibigay ko sa kanila.”
13 This is the Water of Contradiction, where the sons of Israel were quarreling against the Lord, and he was sanctified in them.
Tinawag ang lugar na ito na mga tubig ng Meriba dahil nakipagtalo ang mga tao ng Israel kay Yahweh doon, at ipinakita niya ang kaniyang sarili sa kanila bilang banal.
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,
Nagpadala ng mga mensahero si Moises mula Kades sa hari ng Edom: Ito ang sinabi ng iyong kapatid na si Israel: “Alam mo ang lahat ng paghihirap na nangyari sa amin.
15 how our fathers descended into Egypt, and we lived there for a long time, and the Egyptians afflicted both us and our fathers,
Alam mo na pumunta sa Ehipto ang aming mga ninuno at nanirahan sa Ehipto ng isang mahabang panahon. Tinuring kaming napakasama ng mga taga-Ehipto gayon din ang aming mga ninuno.
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.
Nang tumawag kami kay Yahweh, dininig niya ang aming mga tinig at nagpadala siya ng isang anghel at inilabas kami sa Ehipto. Tingnan mo, narito kami sa Kades, isang lungsod sa hangganan ng iyong lupain.
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.”
Hinihiling kong pahintulutan mo kaming maadaan sa iyong lupain. Hindi kami dadaan sa bukirin o ubasan, ni iinom ng tubig sa iyong mga balon. Dadaan kami sa maluwang na daanan ng hari. Hindi kami liliko sa kanan o sa kaliwa hanggang makalampas kami sa iyong hangganan.”
18 Edom responded to them: “You shall not cross through me, otherwise, I will meet you armed.”
Subalit tumugon ang hari ng Edom sa kaniya, “Hindi ka maaaring dumaan dito. Kapag ginawa mo iyon, darating ako nang may espada upang salakayin ka.”
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.”
At sinabi ng mga tao ng Israel sa kaniya, “Dadaan kami sa maluwang na daanan. Kung uminom kami o ang aming mga alagang hayop ng iyong tubig, babayaran namin ito. Pabayaan mo lang kaming makadaan sa aming paa, wala kaming ibang gagawin.”
20 But he answered, “You shall not cross.” And immediately he went out to meet them with a countless multitude and a strong hand;
Subalit sumagot ang hari ng Edom, “Hindi kayo maaring dumaan.” Kaya dumating ang hari ng Edom laban sa Israel nang may isang malakas na kamay kasama ang maraming kawal.
21 neither was he willing to agree to their petition to concede passage through his borders. For this reason, Israel diverted away from him.
Hindi pumayag ang hari ng Edom na makatawid ang Israel sa kanilang hangganan. Dahil dito, lumayo ang Israel sa lupain ng Edom.
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,
Kaya naglakbay ang mga tao mula Kades. Ang mga tao ng Israel, ang buong sambayanan ay dumating sa Bundok Hor.
23 where the Lord spoke to Moses:
Nagsalita si Yahweh kina Moises at Aaron sa Bundok Hor, sa hangganan ng Edom. Sinabi niya,
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.
“Dapat maitipon si Aaron sa kaniyang mga tao, sapagkat hindi siya papasok sa lupain na ibinibigay ko sa mga tao ng Israel. Ito ay dahil lumabag kayong dalawa sa aking salita sa mga tubig ng Meribah.
25 Take Aaron, and his son with him, and lead them on to mount Hor.
Kunin mo si Aaron at si Eleazar na kaniyang anak na lalaki at dalhin mo sila sa Bundok Hor.
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.”
Alisin mo kay Aaron ang mga kasuotang pangpari at isuot ito kay Eleazar na kaniyang anak na lalaki. Dapat mamatay si Aaron at mmaitipon sa kaniyang mga tao doon.”
27 Moses did just as the Lord had instructed. And they ascended mount Hor, in the sight of the entire multitude.
Ginawa ni Moises ang inutos ni Yahweh. Umakyat sila sa Bundok Hor sa paningin ng sambayanan.
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.
Tinanggal ni Moises kay Aaron ang kaniyang kasuotang pangpari at isinuot kay Eleazar na kaniyang anak na lalaki. Namatay si Aaron doon sa tuktok ng bundok. Pakatapos, bumaba si Moises at Eleazar.
29 And the entire multitude, seeing that Aaron lay dead, wept over him for thirty days, throughout all their families.
Nang makita ng sambayanang patay na si Aaron. Nagluksa ang buong bansa para sa kaniya ng tatlumpung araw.
