Resansman 20
1 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'.
So the people of Israel, the whole community, went into the wilderness of Zin in the first month; they stayed at Kadesh. There Miriam died and was buried.
2 Men, pa t' gen dlo la pou pèp la te bwè. Pèp la sanble bò kote Moyiz ak Arawon, yo leve kont ak yo.
There was no water for the community, so they assembled together against Moses and Aaron.
3 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!
The people complained against Moses. They said, “It would have been better if we had died when our fellow Israelites died in front of Yahweh!
4 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?
Why have you brought Yahweh's community into this wilderness to die here, we and our animals?
5 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!
Why did you make us come up out of Egypt to bring us to this horrible place? Here there is no seed, figs, vines, or pomegranates, and there is no water to drink.”
6 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.
So Moses and Aaron went away from in front of the assembly. They went to the entrance of the tent of meeting and lay facedown. There Yahweh's brilliant glory appeared to them.
7 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
8 -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.
“Take the staff and assemble the community, you, and Aaron your brother. Speak to the rock before their eyes, and command it to flow with water. You will produce water for them out of that rock, and you must give it to the community and their cattle to drink.”
9 Moyiz pran baton ki sou devan lotèl la, jan Seyè a te ba li lòd la.
Moses took the staff from before Yahweh, as Yahweh had commanded him to do.
10 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?
Then Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock. Moses said to them, “Listen now, you rebels. Must we bring water out of this rock for you?”
11 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.
Then Moses raised his hand and struck the rock twice with his staff, and much water came out. The community drank, and their cattle drank.
12 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.
Then Yahweh said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not trust me or honor me as holy in the eyes of the people of Israel, you will not bring this assembly into the land I have given them.”
13 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.
This place was called the waters of Meribah because the people of Israel had quarreled with Yahweh there, and he showed himself to them as holy.
14 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.
Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom: Your brother Israel says this: “You know all the difficulties that have happened to us.
15 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.
You know that our ancestors went down to Egypt and lived in Egypt a long time. The Egyptians treated us harshly and also our ancestors.
16 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.
When we called out to Yahweh, he heard our voice and sent an angel and brought us out of Egypt. Look, we are in Kadesh, a city on the border of your land.
17 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.
I am asking you to let us pass through your land. We will not pass through field or vineyard, nor will we drink the water in your wells. We will go along the king's highway. We will not turn aside to the right hand or to the left until we have passed your border.”
18 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.
But the king of Edom replied to him, “You may not pass through here. If you do, I will come with the sword to attack you.”
19 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!
Then the people of Israel said to him, “We will go along the highway. If we or our livestock drink your water, we will pay for it. Just let us walk through on foot, without doing anything else.”
20 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.
But the king of Edom replied, “You may not pass through.” So the king of Edom came against Israel with a strong hand with many soldiers.
21 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.
The king of Edom refused to allow Israel to cross over their border. Because of this, Israel turned away from the land of Edom.
22 Tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo kite Kadès, yo rive sou Mòn Or la,
So the people journeyed from Kadesh. The people of Israel, the whole community, came to Mount Hor.
23 ki te toupre fwontyè peyi Edon an. Antan yo la, Seyè a pale ak Moyiz ansanm ak Arawon, li di yo:
Yahweh spoke to Moses and Aaron at Mount Hor, on Edom's border. He said,
24 -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.
“Aaron must be gathered to his people, for he will not enter the land that I have given to the people of Israel. This is because you both rebelled against my word at the waters of Meribah.
25 Pran Arawon ak Eleaza, pitit gason l' lan, moute sou mòn Or la ak yo.
Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up to Mount Hor.
26 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.
Take Aaron's priestly garments off him and put them on Eleazar his son. Aaron must die and be gathered to his people there.”
27 Moyiz fè tou sa Seyè a te mande l' fè a: Devan je tout moun, yo tou twa yo moute sou mòn Or la.
Moses did as Yahweh commanded. They went up Mount Hor in the sight of all the community.
28 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.
Moses took Aaron's priestly garments off him and put them on Eleazar his son. Aaron died there on the top of the mountain. Then Moses and Eleazar came down.
29 Tout pèp la vin konnen Arawon te mouri. Se konsa tout moun nan pèp Izrayèl la pase trant jou ap kriye pou Arawon.
When all the community saw that Aaron was dead, the entire nation wept for Aaron for thirty days.
