1Zvino vana vaIsiraeri, ungano yose, vakasvika murenje reZini nomwedzi wokutanga, vanhu vakagara paKadheshi. Miriami akafirapo, akavigwawopo.
1The children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came into the wilderness of Zin in the first month: and the people stayed in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there.
2Ipapo pakanga pasina mvura yokumwa yeungano yose; zvino vanhu vakaunganira kuna Mozisi naAroni.
2There was no water for the congregation: and they assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.
3Vanhu vakarwa naMozisi, vakataura, vachiti, Dai takafa hedu nguva yakafa hama dzedu pamberi paJehovha!
3The people strove with Moses, and spoke, saying, “We wish that we had died when our brothers died before Yahweh!
4Makauyisireiko ungano yaJehovha murenje rino, kuti tifiremo, isu nezvipfuwo zvedu?
4Why have you brought the assembly of Yahweh into this wilderness, that we should die there, we and our animals?
5Makatibudisireiko muEgipita, kuzotiisa panzvimbo iyi yakaipa? Haizi nzvimbo yembeu, kana yamaonde, kana yemizambiringa, kana yamatamba; nemvura yokumwa hapana.
5Why have you made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in to 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.”
6Ipapo Mozisi naAroni vakabva paungano, vakaenda kumukova wetende rokusangana, vakawira pasi nezviso zvavo; kubwinya kwaJehovha kukaratidzwa kwavari.
6Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and fell on their faces: and the glory of Yahweh appeared to them.
7Zvino Jehovha akataura naMozisi, akati,
7Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
8Tora tsvimbo, uunganidze ungano, iwe naAroni mukuru wako, mutaure nedombo pamberi pavo, kuti ribudise mvura padombo, umwise ungano nezvipfuwo zvavo.
8“Take the rod, and assemble the congregation, you, and Aaron your brother, and speak to the rock before their eyes, that it give forth its water; and you shall bring forth to them water out of the rock; so you shall give the congregation and their livestock drink.”
9Ipapo Mozisi akatora tsvimbo, yakanga iri pamberi paJehovha, sezvaakanga arairwa naye.
9Moses took the rod from before Yahweh, as he commanded him.
10Mozisi naAroni vakaunganidza ungano pamberi pedombo, akati kwavari, Zvino, chinzwai, imwi vokumukira Jehovha, ko tingakubudisirai mvura padombo iri here?
10Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock, and he said to them, “Hear now, you rebels; shall we bring you water out of this rock for you?”
11Ipapo Mozisi akasimudza ruoko rwake, akarova dombo kaviri netsvimbo yake, mvura ikabuda zhinji-zhinji, ungano ikamwa, nezvipfuwo zvavo.
11Moses lifted up his hand, and struck the rock with his rod twice: and water came forth abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their livestock.
12Ipapo Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi naAroni, Zvamusina kutenda kwandiri, kunditsaura pamberi pavana valsiraeri, hamungapinzi ungano iyi munyika yandakaipa.
12Yahweh said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you didn’t believe in me, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.”
13Ndiyo mvura yeMeribha, nekuti vana vaIsiraeri vakarwa naJehovha, akazviratidza kwavari ari Mutsvene.
13These are the waters of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with Yahweh, and he was sanctified in them.
14Zvino Mozisi akatuma nhume, dzaibva Kadheshi, kuna mambo weEdhomu, achiti, Zvanzi nomunin'ina wako Isiraeri, Unoziva nhamo dzose dzakatiwira,
14Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, saying: “Thus says your brother Israel: You know all the travail that has happened to us:
15kuti madzibaba edu akaburukira Egipita, tikagara Egipita nguva huru, vaEgipita vakatiitira zvakaipa, isu namadzibaba edu;
15how our fathers went down into Egypt, and we lived in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians dealt ill with us, and our fathers:
16zvino takati tichichema kuna Jehovha, iye akanzwa manzwi edu, akatuma mutumwa kutibudisa paEgipita, zvino tarirai, tiri paKadheshi, paguta riri pamuganhu wenyika yako;
16and when we cried to Yahweh, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and brought us forth out of Egypt: and behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of your border.
17dotitendera kupfuura napanyika yako; hatingafambi napaminda, kana napaminda yemizambiringa; hatingamwi mvura yamatsime; tichafamba nenzira huru yamambo; hatingatsaukiri kurudyi kana kuruboshwe, kusvikira tabuda panyika yako.
17“Please let us pass through your land: we will not pass through field or through vineyard, neither will we drink of the water of the wells: we will go along the king’s highway; we will not turn aside to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed your border.”
18Ipapo Edhomu akati kwaari, Haungapfuuri nokwandiri, kuti ndirege kuuya kuzorwa newe nomunondo.
18Edom said to him, “You shall not pass through me, lest I come out with the sword against you.”
19Vana vaIsiraeri vakati kwaari, Tichakwira nenzira huru; kana tikamwa mvura yako, ini nezvipfuwo zvangu, ndicharipa mutengo wayo; nditendere koga kupfuura namakumbo angu, hakuna rimwe shoko.
19The children of Israel said to him, “We will go up by the highway; and if we drink of your water, I and my livestock, then will I give its price: let me only, without doing anything else, pass through on my feet.”
20Iye akati, Haungapfuuri. Zvino Edhomu akauya kuzorwa naye navanhu vazhinji, noruoko rune simba.
20He said, “You shall not pass through.” Edom came out against him with many people, and with a strong hand.
21Naizvozvo Edhomu akaramba kutendera vaIsiraeri kupfuura napanyika yake. Ipapo vaIsiraeri vakatsauka kwaari.
21Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border, so Israel turned away from him.
22Zvino vakasimuka paKadheshi, vana vaIsiraeri, iyo ungano yose, vakasvika pagomo reHori.
22They traveled from Kadesh: and the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came to Mount Hor.
23Ipapo Jehovha akataura naMozisi naAroni pagomo reHori, pamuganhu wenyika yaEdhomu, akati,
23Yahweh spoke to Moses and Aaron in Mount Hor, by the border of the land of Edom, saying,
24Aroni uchasanganiswa navanhu vake, nekuti haangapindi munyika yandakapa vana valsiraeri, nekuti makaramba shoko rangu pamvura yeMeribha.
24“Aaron shall be gathered to his people; for he shall not enter into the land which I have given to the children of Israel, because you rebelled against my word at the waters of Meribah.
25Tora Aroni nomwanakomana wake Ereazari, ukwire navo pagomo reHori;
25Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up to Mount Hor;
26zvino ubvise nguvo dzake, ugodzifukidza Ereazari mwanakomana wake; ipapo Aroni achasanganiswa navanhu vake, achafirapo.
26and strip Aaron of his garments, and put them on Eleazar his son: and Aaron shall be taken, and shall die there.”
27Mozisi akaita sezvaakarairwa naJehovha; vakakwira pagomo reHori pamberi peungano yose.
27Moses did as Yahweh commanded: and they went up into Mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.
28Zvino Mozisi wakabvisa nguvo dzaAroni, akadzifukidza Ereazari mwanakomana wake; Aroni akafirapo pamusoro pegomo; Mozisi naEreazari vakaburuka havo pagomo.
28Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them on Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there on the top of the mountain: and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.
29Zvino ungano yose yakati ichiona kuti Aroni afa, vakachema Aroni mazuva makumi matatu, iyo imba yose yaIsiraeri.
29When all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they wept for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.
