¹Then came the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, into the desert of Zin in the first month: and the people abode in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there.

¹[Ny nitobian'ny Zanak'Isiraely tao Kadesy, sy ny nahadiso an'i Mosesy sy Arona tamin'izy nampivoaka rano avy tamin'ny vatolampy] Ary tamin'ny volana voalohany tonga tao an-efitra Zina ny Zanak'Isiraely, dia ny fiangonana rehetra; ary nitoetra tao Kadesy ny olona. Ary maty tao Miriama ka nalevina tao.

²And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.

²Ary tsy nisy rano ho an'ny fiangonana, ka dia niangona izy hiodina amin'i Mosesy sy Arona.

³And the people chode with Moses, and spake, saying, Would God that we had died when our brethren died before the LORD!

³Dia nila ady tamin'i Mosesy ny olona ka niteny hoe: Inay anie izahay mba maty tamin'ny nahafatesan'ny rahalahinay teo anatrehan'i Jehovah!

⁴And why have ye brought up the congregation of the LORD into this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there?

⁴Fa nahoana no nitondra ny fiangonan'i Jehovah ho amin'ity efitra ity ianareo, mba hahafaty anay sy ny ombinay eto?

⁵And wherefore have ye made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in unto this evil place? it is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither is there any water to drink.

⁵Ary nahoana no nitondra anay niakatra avy tany Egypta ianareo, hampiditra anay ho amin'ity tany ratsy ity, izay tsy misy voan-javatra, na aviavy, na voaloboka, na ampongaben-danitra akory, sady tsy misy rano hosotroina?

⁶And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon their faces: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto them.

⁶Dia niala teo anatrehan'ny fiangonana Mosesy sy Arona ho eo anoloan'ny varavaran'ny trano-lay fihaonana ka niankohoka; dia niseho taminy ny voninahitr'i Jehovah.

⁷And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

⁷Ary Jehovah niteny tamin'i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:

⁸Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink.

⁸Alao ny tehina, ka vorionao sy Arona rahalahinao ny fiangonana, ary mitenena amin'ny vatolampy eo imasony, dia hampiboiboika ny ranony izy; ary hampivoaka rano ho an'ny olona avy amin'ny vatolampy ianao, ka dia hampisotroinao ny fiangonana sy ny biby fiompiny.

⁹And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him.

⁹Dia nalain'i Mosesy ny tehina avy teo anatrehan'i Jehovah, araka izay nandidiany azy.

¹⁰And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?

¹⁰Dia novorin'i Mosesy sy Arona teo anoloan'ny vatolampy ny fiangonana; ka dia hoy izy: Mihainoa, ry mpiodina: Moa amin'ity vatolampy ity va no hampivoahanay rano ho anareo?

¹¹And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also.

¹¹Ary Mosesy dia nanainga ny tànany ka nikapoka ny vatolampy indroa tamin'ny tehiny; dia niboiboika be dia be ny rano, ka nisotro avokoa ny fiangonana sy ny biby fiompiny.

¹²And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.

¹²Ary Jehovah niteny tamin'i Mosesy sy Arona hoe: Satria tsy nino Ahy ianareo hanamasina Ahy eo imason'ny Zanak'Isiraely, dia tsy hitondra izao fiangonana izao ho any amin'ny tany izay nomeko azy ianareo.

¹³This is the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them.

¹³Ity no ranon'i Meriba, izay nilan'ny Zanak'Isiraely ady tamin'i Jehovah, ka nisehoan'i Jehovah ho masina tamin'ny nataony taminy.

¹⁴And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom, Thus saith thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the travail that hath befallen us:

¹⁴[Ny teny nampitondrain'ny Isiraely tamin'ny mpanjakan'i Edoma] Ary Mosesy dia naniraka olona avy tao Kadesy hankany amin'ny mpanjakan'i Edoma hanao hoe: Izao no lazain'i Isiraely rahalahinao: Hianao mahalala ny fahoriana rehetra izay nanjo anay:

¹⁵How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have dwelt in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians vexed us, and our fathers:

¹⁵dia ny nidinan'ny razanay tany Egypta, sy ny nitoeranay ela tany; ary nampahory anay sy ny razanay ny Egyptiana;

¹⁶And when we cried unto the LORD, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and hath brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border:

¹⁶ary raha nitaraina tamin'i Jehovah izahay, dia nihaino ny feonay Izy ka naniraka Anjely sy nitondra anay nivoaka avy tany Egypta; ary, indreto, tonga eto Kadesy, tanàna eto amin'ny faritry ny taninao, izahay;

¹⁷Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy country: we will not pass through the fields, or through the vineyards, neither will we drink of the water of the wells: we will go by the king's high way, we will not turn to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy borders.

¹⁷koa aoka mba handeha hamaky ny taninao izahay; fa tsy handeha hamaky ny saha sy ny tanim-boaloboka, na hisotro ny rano amin'ny lavaka fantsakana akory: ny lalan'andriana ihany no halehanay, fa tsy hania izahay na ho amin'ny ankavanana na ho amin'ny ankavia mandra-pahafakay ny faritry ny taninao.

¹⁸And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword.

¹⁸Fa hoy ny Edomita taminy: Tsy mahazo mandeha mamaky ny taniko ianao, fandrao hivoaka hamely anao amin'ny sabatra aho.

¹⁹And the children of Israel said unto him, We will go by the high way: and if I and my cattle drink of thy water, then I will pay for it: I will only, without doing anything else, go through on my feet.

¹⁹Dia hoy ny Zanak'Isiraely taminy: Ny lalam-be ihany no halehanay, fa raha hisotro ny ranonao izaho sy ny omby aman'ondriko, dia hefaiko vola izany; fa tsy hanao na inona na inona aho, fa handalo fotsiny ihany.

²⁰And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand.

²⁰Fa hoy izy: Tsy mahazo mandalo atỳ ianao. Ary nivoaka hisakana azy ny Edomita nitondra vahoaka betsaka sady nanao tàna-mahery.

²¹Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border: wherefore Israel turned away from him.

²¹Toy izany no nandavan'ny Edomita ka tsy namela ny Isiraely hamaky ny taniny, ka dia nivily niala taminy ny Zanak'Isiraely.

²²And the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, journeyed from Kadesh, and came unto mount Hor.

²²Ary nifindra ny Zanak'Isiraely, dia ny fiangonana rehetra, ka niala tany Kadesy ary tonga tao an-tendrombohitra Hora.

²³And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the coast of the land of Edom, saying,

²³Ary Jehovah niteny tamin'i Mosesy sy Arona tao an-tendrombohitra Hora, tao amin'ny fari-tanin'i Edoma, ka nanao hoe:

²⁴Aaron shall be gathered unto his people: for he shall not enter into the land which I have given unto the children of Israel, because ye rebelled against my word at the water of Meribah.

²⁴Arona hangonina any amin'ny razany; fa tsy hiditra any amin'ny tany izay nomeko ny Zanak'Isiraely izy, satria nandà ny teniko teo amin'ny ranon'i Meriba ianareo.

²⁵Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto mount Hor:

²⁵Alao Arona sy Eleazara zanany, ka ento miakatra ao an-tendrombohitra Hora izy mianaka;

²⁶And strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son: and Aaron shall be gathered unto his people, and shall die there.

²⁶dia esory ny fitafian'i Arona, ka atafio an'i Eleazara zanany; ary Arona hangonina any amin'ny razany ka ho faty ao.

²⁷And Moses did as the LORD commanded: and they went up into mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.

²⁷Ary Mosesy nanao araka izay nandidian'i Jehovah; dia niakatra tao an-tendrombohitra Hora teo imason'ny fiangonana rehetra izy telo mianaka.

²⁸And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there in the top of the mount: and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mount.

²⁸Dia nesorin'i Mosesy ny fitafian'i Arona ka natafiny an'i Eleazara zanany; ary maty tao an-tampon'ny tendrombohitra Arona; dia nidina avy tao an-tendrombohitra Mosesy sy Eleazara.Koa nony hitan'ny fiangonana rehetra fa maty Arona, dia nisaona azy telo-polo andro izy, dia ny taranak'Isiraely rehetra.

²⁹And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they mourned for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.

²⁹Koa nony hitan'ny fiangonana rehetra fa maty Arona, dia nisaona azy telo-polo andro izy, dia ny taranak'Isiraely rehetra.
