Biyo Oo Dhagax Ka Soo Baxay

20 Oo reer binu Israa'iil, xataa shirkii oo dhammu waxay cidladii Sin yimaadeen bishii kowaad. Markaasaa dadkii waxay degeen Qaadeesh, oo Maryanna halkaasay ku dhimatay, oo halkaasaa lagu aasay. Oo shirkiina biyo ma haysan, oo markaasay Muuse iyo Haaruun u wada shireen. Kolkaasaa dadkii Muuse la dirireen, wayna la hadleen oo ku yidhaahdeen, Waxaa noo roonayd inaannu walaalahayo iskala dhimanno markay Rabbiga hortiisa ku dhinteen! Bal maxaad shirka Rabbiga cidladan u keenteen si aan annaga iyo lo'dayaduba halkan ugu wada dhimanno? Oo maxaadse dalkii Masar nooga soo bixiseen, oo aad meeshan sharka ah noo keenteen? Waayo, meeshanu ma aha meel laga helo midho, ama berde, ama geedcanab, amase rummaanno; oo biyo la cabbona laguma arko. Markaasay Muuse iyo Haaruun ururka hortiisii uga tageen iriddii teendhadii shirka, kolkaasay wejiga dhulka dhigeen, oo waxaa iyagii u muuqatay ammaantii Rabbiga. Markaasaa Rabbigu Muuse la hadlay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Usha qaado, oo adiga iyo walaalkaa Haaruun dadka shirka ah oo dhan soo shiriya, oo iyagoo arkaya dhagaxa la hadla, biyo ha soo daayee; oo waa inaad iyaga dhagaxa biyo uga keentaa, si aad u wada waraabisid shirka iyo lo'doodaba. Markaasaa Muuse ushii ka qaatay Rabbiga hortiisa, siduu isaga ugu amray. 10 Kolkaasay Muuse iyo Haaruun ururkii oo dhan ku soo ururiyeen dhagaxa hortiisii, oo wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, War bal maqla, caasiyiin yahay. Dhagaxan biyo ma idiinka soo daynaa? 11 Kolkaasaa Muuse gacanta kor u qaaday, oo dhagaxii ayuu ushiisii laba jeer ku dhuftay; oo waxaa ka soo baxay biyo aad u badan, oo shirkii iyo lo'doodiiba way wada cabbeen. 12 Markaasaa Rabbigu Muuse iyo Haaruun ku yidhi, Idinku ima aydaan rumaysan, oo quduusna igama aydaan dhigin reer binu Israa'iil hortooda, haddaba sidaas daraaddeed idinku shirkan geeyn maysaan dalkii aan iyaga siiyey. 13 Kuwanu waa biyihii Meriibaah, maxaa yeelay, reer binu Israa'iil way la dirireen Rabbiga, oo wuxuu iyaga tusay inuu quduus yahay.

Boqorkii Edom Oo Diiday Dhex Mariddii Dalkiisa

14 Markaasaa Muuse kuwa farriin wada Qaadeesh uga diray boqorkii reer Edom, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Annagoo ah walaalahaa ilma Israa'iil waxaannu kugu leennahay, Waad garanaysaa dhibkii nagu soo dhacay oo dhan, 15 iyo sida awowayaashayo dalkii Masar u tageen, iyo inaannu Masar wakhti dheer degganayn. Masriyiintu aad iyo aad bay noo xumeeyeen annaga iyo awowayaashayoba. 16 Oo markaannu Rabbiga u qayshannay, codkayagii wuu maqlay, oo wuxuu noo soo diray malaa'ig, oo Masarna wuu naga soo bixiyey, oo haddana waxaannu joognaa Qaadeesh oo ah magaalo ku taal soohdintaada darafkeeda. 17 Waan ku baryayaaye, na daa aan dalkaaga dhex marnee. Kaa dhex mari mayno berrin ama beercanab, oo ceelasha biyahoodana ka cabbi mayno. Waxaannu iska maraynaa boqorka waddadiisa oo ugu leexan mayno xagga midigta ama xagga bidixda jeeraannu soohdintaada ka baxno. 18 Markaasaa boqorkii Edom wuxuu ku yidhi, Dalkayga waa inaanad soo dhex marin yaanan seef kuula soo bixine. 19 Markaasaa reer binu Israa'iil waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Annagu waddada weyn baannu iska maraynaa, oo annaga iyo lo'dayaduba haddaannu biyo kaa cabno qiimahooda waannu ku siinaynaa, haddaba annagoo aan innaba wax kale samayn aan dalkaaga cagaha ku dhex marno. 20 Oo isna wuxuu yidhi, Dalkayga soo dhex mari maysaan. Markaasaa boqorkii Edom wuxuu u soo baxay reer binu Israa'iil isagoo gacan xoog leh dad badan ku wata. 21 Oo sidaasuu boqorkii Edom ugu diiday reer binu Israa'iil inay soohdintiisa soo dhex maraan, oo saas aawadeed reer binu Israa'iil isagii way ka leexdeen.

Dhimashadii Haaruun

22 Oo Qaadeesh way ka guureen, oo reer binu Israa'iil xataa shirkii oo dhammu waxay yimaadeen Buur Xor. 23 Markaasaa Rabbigu Muuse iyo Haaruun kula hadlay Buur Xor oo ku ag taal soohdinta dalka Edom oo wuxuu ku yidhi, 24 Haaruun wuxuu ku darman doonaa dadkiisii, waayo, isagu geli maayo dalkii aan siiyey reer binu Israa'iil, maxaa yeelay, hadalkaygii waad ku caasideen markaad biyihii Meriibaah ag joogteen. 25 Haddaba Haaruun iyo wiilkiisa Elecaasaar soo wad, oo waxaad iyaga keentaa Buur Xor. 26 Oo markaas Haaruun dharkiisa ka bixi oo waxaad u gelisaa wiilkiisa Elecaasaar, oo Haaruun dadkiisa wuu ku darman doonaa, oo halkaasuu ku dhiman doonaa. 27 Markaasaa Muuse sameeyey sidii Rabbigu ku amray, oo waxay fuuleen Buur Xor iyadoo shirkii oo dhammu ay u jeedaan. 28 Markaasaa Muuse Haaruun ka bixiyey dharkiisii, oo wuxuu u geliyey wiilkiisii Elecaasaar, markaasaa Haaruun ku dhintay halkaas oo ahaa buurtii dhaladeeda; kolkaasay Muuse iyo Elecaasaar buurtii ka soo degeen. 29 Oo markii shirkii oo dhammu ay arkeen in Haaruun dhintay ayaa reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu waxay Haaruun u ooyeen intii soddon maalmood ah.

Water From the Rock

20 In the first month the whole Israelite community arrived at the Desert of Zin,(A) and they stayed at Kadesh.(B) There Miriam(C) died and was buried.

Now there was no water(D) for the community,(E) and the people gathered in opposition(F) to Moses and Aaron. They quarreled(G) with Moses and said, “If only we had died when our brothers fell dead(H) before the Lord!(I) Why did you bring the Lord’s community into this wilderness,(J) that we and our livestock should die here?(K) Why did you bring us up out of Egypt to this terrible place? It has no grain or figs, grapevines or pomegranates.(L) And there is no water to drink!(M)

Moses and Aaron went from the assembly to the entrance to the tent of meeting(N) and fell facedown,(O) and the glory of the Lord(P) appeared to them. The Lord said to Moses, “Take the staff,(Q) and you and your brother Aaron gather the assembly together. Speak to that rock before their eyes and it will pour out its water.(R) You will bring water out of the rock for the community so they and their livestock can drink.”

So Moses took the staff(S) from the Lord’s presence,(T) just as he commanded him. 10 He and Aaron gathered the assembly together(U) in front of the rock and Moses said to them, “Listen, you rebels, must we bring you water out of this rock?”(V) 11 Then Moses raised his arm and struck the rock twice with his staff. Water(W) gushed out, and the community and their livestock drank.

12 But the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not trust in me enough to honor me as holy(X) in the sight of the Israelites, you will not bring this community into the land I give them.”(Y)

13 These were the waters of Meribah,[a](Z) where the Israelites quarreled(AA) with the Lord and where he was proved holy among them.(AB)

Edom Denies Israel Passage

14 Moses sent messengers from Kadesh(AC) to the king of Edom,(AD) saying:

“This is what your brother Israel says: You know(AE) about all the hardships(AF) that have come on us. 15 Our ancestors went down into Egypt,(AG) and we lived there many years.(AH) The Egyptians mistreated(AI) us and our ancestors, 16 but when we cried out to the Lord, he heard our cry(AJ) and sent an angel(AK) and brought us out of Egypt.(AL)

“Now we are here at Kadesh, a town on the edge of your territory.(AM) 17 Please let us pass through your country. We will not go through any field or vineyard, or drink water from any well. We will travel along the King’s Highway and not turn to the right or to the left until we have passed through your territory.(AN)

18 But Edom(AO) answered:

“You may not pass through here; if you try, we will march out and attack you with the sword.(AP)

19 The Israelites replied:

“We will go along the main road, and if we or our livestock(AQ) drink any of your water, we will pay for it.(AR) We only want to pass through on foot—nothing else.”

20 Again they answered:

“You may not pass through.(AS)

Then Edom(AT) came out against them with a large and powerful army. 21 Since Edom refused to let them go through their territory,(AU) Israel turned away from them.(AV)

The Death of Aaron

22 The whole Israelite community set out from Kadesh(AW) and came to Mount Hor.(AX) 23 At Mount Hor, near the border of Edom,(AY) the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, 24 “Aaron will be gathered to his people.(AZ) He will not enter the land I give the Israelites, because both of you rebelled against my command(BA) at the waters of Meribah.(BB) 25 Get Aaron and his son Eleazar and take them up Mount Hor.(BC) 26 Remove Aaron’s garments(BD) and put them on his son Eleazar, for Aaron will be gathered to his people;(BE) he will die there.”

27 Moses did as the Lord commanded: They went up Mount Hor(BF) in the sight of the whole community. 28 Moses removed Aaron’s garments and put them on his son Eleazar.(BG) And Aaron died there(BH) on top of the mountain. Then Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain, 29 and when the whole community learned that Aaron had died,(BI) all the Israelites mourned for him(BJ) thirty days.
