1 Napan ngarud dagiti tattao ti Israel, ti dagup iti gimong, idiay let-ang ti Sin iti umuna a bulan; nagnaedda idiay Kades. Natay ni Miriam ket naitabon sadiay.
It was during the first month of the year that all the Israelites arrived in the Desert of Zin and set up camp in Kadesh. (This was where Miriam died and was buried.)
2 Sadiay, awan danum nga inumen dagiti tattao, isu a naguummongda a maibusor kada Moses ken Aaron.
However, there was no water there for anyone to drink, so the people gathered to confront Moses and Aaron.
3 Nagriri dagiti tattao kenni Moises. Kinunada, “Nasaysayaat la koman no nataykami idi natay dagiti padami nga Israelita iti sangoanan ni Yahweh!
They argued with Moses, saying, “If only we'd died with our relatives in the Lord's presence!
4 Apay nga impanmo dagiti tattao ni Yahweh iti daytoy a let-ang tapno matay ditoy, dakami ken dagiti ay-ayupmi?
Why have you brought the Lord's people into this desert just so we and our livestock can die here?
5 Ken apay nga inruarnakami idiay Egipto tapno iyegnakami iti daytoy nakarigrigat a lugar? Awan trigo, igos, ubas, wenno granada ditoy. Ken awan danum a mainum.”
Why did you lead us out of Egypt to come to this awful place? Nothing grows here—no grain or figs or vines or pomegranates. And there's no water to drink!”
6 Isu a pimmanaw da Moises ken Aaron manipud iti sangoanan dagiti taripnong. Napanda iti pagserrekan iti tabernakulo ket nagpaklebda. Sadiay, nagparang kadakuada ti naraniag a dayag ni Yahweh.
Moses and Aaron left the people and went to entrance of the Tent of Meeting. There they fell facedown on the ground, and the glory of the Lord appeared to them.
7 Kinasarita ni Yahweh ni Moises ket kinunana,
The Lord told Moses,
8 “Alaem ti sarukodmo ket ummongem dagiti tattao, sika ken ni Aaron a kabsatmo. Kasaom ti dakkel a bato iti imatangda, ket bilinem daytoy a mangipusuak iti danum. Ipaayanyo ida iti danum manipud iti dayta a bato, ken rumbeng nga itedyo daytoy nga inumen dagiti tattao ken dagiti dingoenda.”
“Take the walking stick and have the people gather around you. As they watch, you and your brother Aaron will order the rock and it will pour out water. You will bring water from the rock so the people and their livestock can drink.”
9 Innala ni Moises ti sarukod manipud iti sangoanan ni Yahweh, kas imbilin ni Yahweh nga aramidenna.
Moses picked up the walking stick that was kept in the Lord's presence, as he had been ordered.
10 Inummong ngarud da Moises ken Aaron ti taripnong iti sangoanan ti dakkel a bato. Kinuna ni Moises kadakuada, “Ita, dumngegkayo, dakayo a sukir. Masapul kadi nga ipaayandakayo iti danum manipud iti daytoy a bato?”
Moses and Aaron had everyone gather in front of the rock. Moses said to them, “Listen, you bunch of rebels! Do we have to bring water out of this rock for you?”
11 Kalpasanna, inngato ni Moises ti sarukodna sana imbaot daytoy iti namindua iti dakkel a bato, ket adu unay a danum ti pimsuak. Imminom dagiti tattao kasta met dagiti tarakenda.
Then Moses picked up the walking stick and hit the rock twice. Streams of water gushed out so that the people and their livestock could drink.
12 Ket kinuna ni Yahweh kada Moises ken Aaron, “Gapu ta saankayo a nagtalek kaniak wenno saandak a sinantipikaran iti imatang dagiti tattao ti Israel, saanyo a maidanon daytoy a taripnong iti daga nga intedko kadakuada.”
But the Lord told Moses and Aaron, “Because you didn't trust me enough to demonstrate how holy I am to the Israelites, you will not be the ones to lead them into the country I've given them.”
13 Naawagan daytoy a lugar iti danum ti Meriba gapu ta nakiapa kenni Yahweh dagiti tattao ti Israel sadiay, ken impakitana kadakuada ti bagina a kas nasantoan.
The place where the Israelites argued with the Lord was called the waters of Meribah, and was where he revealed his holiness to them.
14 Manipud Kades, nangibaon ni Moises kadagiti mensahero a mapan iti ari ti Edom: Daytoy ti ibagbaga ti kabsatmo nga Israel:
Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, telling him, “This is what your brother Israel says. You know all about the difficulties we've faced.
15 “Ammon dagiti amin a rigrigat a napaspasamak kadakami. Ammom a simmalog idiay Egipto dagiti kapuonanmi ken nangnaedda sadiay iti nabayag a tiempo. Dakes unay ti inaramid dagiti Egipcio kadakami kasta met dagiti kapuonanmi.
Our forefathers went to Egypt and we lived there for a long time. The Egyptians treated us and our forefathers badly,
16 Idi immawagkami kenni Yahweh, nangngegna ti timekmi ken nangibaon isuna iti anghel, ket impanawnakami manipud Egipto. Adtoy, addakami ditoy Kades, maysa a siudad nga adda iti beddeng ti dagam.
so we called out to the Lord for help, and he heard our cries. He sent an angel and led us out of Egypt. Listen, now we are in Kadesh, a town on the border of your territory.
17 Dawdawatek kenka a palasatennakami koma iti dagam. Saankami a lumasat iti talonmo wenno kaubasam, wenno uminom iti danum kadagiti bubonmo. Magnakami laeng iti kangrunaan a kalsada ti ari. Saankami a sumiasi iti kannawan wenno kannigid agingga a malabsanmi ti beddengmo.”
Please allow us to travel through your country. We won't cross any of your fields or vineyards, or drink water from any of your wells. We will stay on the King's Highway; we won't turn off either to the right or to the left until we have passed through your country.”
18 Ngem insungbat ti ari ti Edom kenkuana, “Saan a mabalin a lumasatka ditoy. No aramidem dayta, umayak a sikakampilan a mangdarup kenka.”
But the king of Edom replied, “You are forbidden to travel through our country, otherwise we will come out and stop you by force.”
19 Ket kinuna dagiti tattao ti Israel kenkuana, “Magnakami laeng iti kangrunaan a kalsada. No uminomkami wenno dagiti tarakenmi iti danummo, bayadanminto daytoy. Palubosandakami laeng koma nga awan ti aniaman a lasaten dagiti sakami.”
“We'll keep to the main road,” the Israelites persisted. “If we or our livestock drink your water, we'll pay you for it. That's all we want—just to pass through on foot.”
20 Ngem insungbat ti ari ti Edom, “Saankayo a mabalin a lumasat.” Ket rimmuar ti ari ti Edom nga addaan iti napigsa nga ima nga addaan iti adu a soldado.
But the king of Edom insisted, “You are forbidden to travel through our country!” He came out with his large and powerful army to meet the Israelites head-on.
21 Nagkedked ti ari ti Edom a mangipalubos iti ilalasat ti Israel iti beddengda. Gapu iti daytoy, immadayo ti Israel idiay daga ti Edom.
Since the king of Edom refused to allow Israel to travel through his territory, the Israelites had to turn back.
22 Nagdaliasat ngarud dagiti tattao manipud idiay Kades. Dimmanon dagiti tattao ti Israel, ti dagup ti gimong, idiay Bantay Hor.
The Israelites all left Kadesh and traveled to Mount Hor.
23 Nagsao ni Yahweh kada Moises ken Aaron idiay Bantay Hor, nga adda iti beddeng ti Edom. Kinunana,
At Mount Hor, near the border with the country of Edom, the Lord told Moses and Aaron,
24 “Masapul nga ummongen ni Aaron dagiti tattaona, ta saan a makastrek isuna iti daga nga intedkon kadagiti tattao ti Israel. Daytoy ket gapu ta sinukiryo a dua ti saok iti danum idiay Meribah.
“Aaron will shortly join his forefathers in death. He will not enter the country I have given the Israelites, because you both disobeyed my command at the waters of Meribah.
25 Ikuyogmo ni Aaron ken ni Eleazar nga anakna, ket sumang-atkayo idiay Bantay Hor.
Have Aaron and his son Eleazar join you and climb up Mount Hor together.
26 Ussobem kenni Aaron ti kawesna a kas padi samonto ipakawes daytoy kenni Eleazar nga anakna. Rumbeng a matay ni Aaron ket maitiponto kadagiti tattaona sadiay.”
Take off Aaron's priestly clothes and put them on his son Eleazar. Aaron is going to die there and join his forefathers in death.”
27 Inaramid ngarud ni Moises ti imbilin ni Yahweh.
Moses did as the Lord ordered: They climbed up Mount Hor in full view of all the Israelites.
28 Simmang-atda iti Bantay Hor iti imatang dagiti amin a tattao. Inussob ni Moises ti inkawes ni Aaron a kawesna a kas padi sana inpakawes daytoy kenni Eleazar nga anak ni Aaron. Natay ni Aaron iti tuktok ti bantay. Kalpasanna, simmalog da Eleazar ken ni Moises.
Moses removed the priestly clothes that Aaron was wearing and put them on Aaron's son Eleazar. Aaron died there, on the top of the mountain. Then Moses and Eleazar went back down.
29 Idi nakita dagiti amin nga Israelita a natayen ni Aaron, dinung-awan ti sibubukel a nasion ni Aaron iti las-ud ti tallopulo nga aldaw.
When the people realized that Aaron had died, they all mourned for him for thirty days.
