Numbers 20

1 In March/April [of the next year], the Israeli people traveled/walked to the Zin Desert and (camped/set up their tents) near Kadesh [town]. While they/we were there, [Moses’/my older sister] Miriam died and was buried there.

At ang mga anak ni Israel, sa makatuwid baga'y ang buong kapisanan ay nagsipasok sa ilang ng Zin nang unang buwan: at ang bayan ay tumahan sa Cades; at si Miriam ay namatay doon, at inilibing doon.

2 There was no water for the people to drink there, so they came to Aaron and Moses/me.

At walang tubig na mainom ang kapisanan; at sila'y nagpulong laban kay Moises at laban kay Aaron.

3 They complained and said, “We wish that we had died in front of Yahweh’s Sacred Tent when our fellow Israelis died!

At sinisi ng bayan si Moises, at nagsipagsalita, na sinasabi, Ibigin sana na kami ay nangamatay, nang mamatay ang aming mga kapatid sa harap ng Panginoon!

4 (Did you bring us, who are Yahweh’s people, into this desert to die along with our livestock?/You brought us, who are Yahweh’s people, into this desert to die along with our livestock!) [RHQ]

At bakit ninyo dinala ang kapulungan ng Panginoon sa ilang na ito, upang mamatay rito, kami at ang aming mga hayop?

5 Why did you bring us from Egypt to this miserable place [RHQ]? There is no grain, there are no figs, no grapes, and no pomegranates here. And there is no water for us to drink!”

At bakit ninyo kami pinasampa mula sa Egipto, upang dalhin kami sa masamang dakong ito? hindi dakong bukirin, o ng igos; o ng ubasan, o ng mga granada; at wala kahit tubig na mainom.

6 Aaron and Moses/I turned away from the people and went to the entrance of the Sacred Tent and prostrated themselves/ourselves on the ground. Then Yahweh appeared to them/us with his bright glory,

At si Moises at si Aaron ay umalis sa harap ng kapulungan at napasa pintuan ng tabernakulo ng kapisanan, at nangagpatirapa: at ang kaluwalhatian ng Panginoon ay lumitaw sa kanila.

7 and he said to Moses/me,

At sinalita ng Panginoon kay Moises, na sinasabi,

8 “You and Aaron must take Aaron’s walking stick with you and gather all the people together. While the people are watching, command that water will flow out of that [large] rock over there. Water for the people will flow from it; all they and all their livestock will have enough water to drink.”

Hawakan mo ang tungkod, at pisanin mo ang kapisanan, pisanin mo at ni Aaron na iyong kapatid, at magsalita kayo sa bato sa harap ng kanilang mga mata, na ibibigay niyaon ang kaniyang tubig; at ikukuha mo sila ng tubig sa bato: sa ganito paiinumin mo ang kapisanan at ang kanilang mga hayop.

9 So Moses/I did what Yahweh told him/me to do. He/I took Aaron’s walking stick from the place in the Sacred Tent where it was kept.

At kinuha ni Moises ang tungkod sa harap ng Panginoon, na gaya ng iniutos sa kaniya.

10 Then Aaron and he/I summoned all the people to gather at the rock. Then Moses/I shouted to them, “All you rebellious people, listen! Is it necessary for us to give you water from this rock?”

At pinisan ni Moises at ni Aaron ang kapulungan sa harap ng bato, at kaniyang sinabi sa kanila, Makinig kayo ngayon, mga mapanghimagsik, ikukuha ba namin kayo ng tubig sa batong ito?

11 Then Moses/I raised his/my hand and [instead of speaking to the rock], he/I struck the rock two times with the walking stick. And water gushed/poured out. So all the people and their livestock drank all the water that they wanted.

At itinaas ni Moises ang kaniyang kamay, at pinalong makalawa ang bato ng kaniyang tungkod: at ang tubig ay lumabas na sagana, at ang kapisanan ay uminom at ang kanilang mga hayop.

12 But Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me, “You did not believe that I could demonstrate my power to the Israeli people [and give them water without your striking the rock]. So you will not lead them into the land that I am giving to them!”

At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises at kay Aaron, Sapagka't hindi kayo sumampalataya sa akin upang ipakilala ninyong banal ako sa mga mata ng mga anak ni Israel, kaya't hindi ninyo dadalhin ang kapisanang ito sa lupain na aking ibinigay sa kanila.

13 Later this place was called Meribah, [which means ‘arguing’], because there the Israeli people argued with Yahweh, and there he showed his power to them [by giving them water].

Ito ang tubig ng Meriba; sapagka't sinisi ng mga anak ni Israel ang Panginoon, at siya'y napakilalang banal sa kanila.

14 [While the people were] at Kadesh [town], Moses/I sent messengers to the king of Edom to tell him this: “Your relatives, the Israeli people, are sending you this message. You know the many troubles/hardships that have happened to us.

At si Moises ay nagutos ng mga sugo sa hari sa Edom mula sa Cades, na ipinasabi, Ganito, ang sabi ng iyong kapatid na Israelita, Talastas mo ang buong kahirapan na dumating sa amin:

15 You know that our ancestors went down to Egypt. You know that they stayed there for many years. They suffered because the [rulers of] Egypt caused them to become their slaves [and to work very hard].

Kung paanong ang aming mga magulang ay bumaba sa Egipto, at kami ay tumahan sa Egipto na malaong panahon, at inalipusta ng mga Egipcio kami at ang aming mga magulang:

16 “But when they called out to Yahweh, he heard them and sent an angel who brought them out of Egypt. Now we have set up our tents here at Kadesh, a town at the border of your land.

At nang kami ay dumaing sa Panginoon ay dininig niya ang aming tinig, at nagsugo siya ng isang anghel, at inilabas kami sa Egipto: at, narito, kami ay nasa Cades, na isang bayan na nasa dulo ng iyong hangganan:

17 Please allow us to travel through your country. We will [be careful to] not walk through your fields and your vineyards. We will not even drink water from your wells. As we travel, we will stay on the king’s highway, [the main road that goes from the south to the north], and we will not leave that road until we have crossed the border [of your country in the north].”

Isinasamo ko sa iyo, na paraanin mo kami, sa iyong lupain: hindi kami dadaan sa kabukiran o sa ubasan, ni di kami iinom ng tubig sa mga balon: kami ay manunuwid sa maluwang na lansangan, hindi kami liliko sa dakong kanan ni sa dakong kaliwa man hanggang sa maraanan namin ang iyong hangganan.

18 But the king of Edom refused. He replied, “Stay out of my country! If you try [to enter it], I will [send my army to] attack you!”

At sinabi ni Edom sa kaniya, Huwag kang magdadaan sa aking lupain, baka kita'y salubungin ng tabak.

19 The Israeli messengers replied, “[If we travel through your country], we will stay on the main road. If we and any of our livestock drink any of your water, we will pay for it. We want only to travel through your country. We do not want anything else.”

At sinabi ng mga anak ni Israel sa kaniya, Kami ay aahon sa lansangan: at kung kami ay uminom ng iyong tubig, ako at ang aking mga hayop, ay pagbabayaran ko ang halaga: pahintulutan mo lamang ako na makaraan ng aking mga paa na walang anoman.

20 But the king replied, “No! Stay out of our country! We will not [allow you] to travel through our land!” Then he sent the strongest soldiers in his army to prevent the Israelis [from entering his country].

At kaniyang sinabi, Huwag kang magdadaan. At si Edom ay lumabas laban sa kaniya na may dalang maraming tao, at may malakas na kamay.

21 So, because [the king of] Edom refused to allow the Israelis to travel through his country, the Israelis turned [and traveled a different way].

Ganito tumanggi si Edom na paraanin ang Israel sa kaniyang hangganan: kaya't ang Israel ay lumayo sa kaniya.

22 The Israeli people left Kadesh. They went to Hor Mountain,

At sila'y naglakbay mula sa Cades: at ang mga anak ni Israel, sa makatuwid baga'y ang buong kapisanan, ay napasa bundok ng Hor.

23 [which is at the border of Edom]. While they were there, Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me,

At sinalita ng Panginoon kay Moises at kay Aaron sa bundok ng Hor, sa tabi ng hangganan ng lupain ng Edom, na sinasabi,

24 “It is time for Aaron to die [EUP]. He will not enter the land that I am giving to you Israelis, because the two of you disobeyed me [when I told you to speak to the rock to cause] the water [to flow] at Meribah.

Si Aaron ay malalakip sa kaniyang bayan: sapagka't siya'y hindi makapapasok sa lupain na aking ibinigay sa mga anak ni Israel, sapagka't kayo'y nagsipanghimagsik laban sa aking salita sa tubig ng Meriba.

25 Now you, Moses, take Aaron and his son Eleazar up on Hor Mountain.

Dalhin mo si Aaron at si Eleazar na kaniyang anak, at isampa mo sila sa bundok ng Hor.

26 There you must remove Aaron’s robes [that he wears when he does the work of a priest], and put them on his son, Eleazar. Aaron will die up there.”

At hubaran mo si Aaron ng kaniyang mga suot at isuot mo kay Eleazar na kaniyang anak: at si Aaron ay malalakip sa kaniyang bayan, at doon siya mamamatay.

27 So Moses/I did what Yahweh commanded. The three of them/us climbed up Hor Mountain, while all the Israeli people watched.

At ginawa ni Moises gaya ng iniutos ng Panginoon: at sila'y sumampa sa bundok ng Hor sa paningin ng buong kapisanan.

28 At the top of the mountain, Moses/I took off the robes that Aaron wore [while he did the work of a priest] and put them on Eleazar. Then Aaron died there on the top of the mountain, and Eleazar and Moses/I went back down.

At hinubaran ni Moises si Aaron, ng kaniyang mga suot, at isinuot kay Eleazar na kaniyang anak; at namatay si Aaron doon sa taluktok ng bundok: at si Moises at si Eleazar ay bumaba sa bundok.

29 When the Israeli people realized that Aaron had died, they all mourned for him for 30 days.

At nang makita ng buong kapisanan na si Aaron ay namatay, ay kanilang tinangisan si Aaron na tatlong pung araw, sa makatuwid baga'y ng buong sangbahayan ni Israel.
