1 Fue durante el primer mes del año que todos los israelitas llegaron al desierto de Zin y establecieron un campamento en Cades. (Aquí fue donde Miriam murió y fue enterrada).
1 The children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came into the wilderness of Zin in the first month. The people stayed in Kadesh. Miriam died there, and was buried there.
2 Sin embargo, allí no había agua para que nadie bebiera, así que la gente se reunió para enfrentarse a Moisés y Aarón.
2 There was no water for the congregation; and they assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.
3 Discutieron con Moisés, diciendo: “¡Si hubiéramos muerto con nuestros parientes en la presencia del Señor!
3 The people quarreled with Moses, and spoke, saying, “We wish that we had died when our brothers died before Yahweh!
4 ¿Por qué has traído al pueblo del Señor a este desierto para que nosotros y nuestro ganado muramos aquí?
4 Why have you brought Yahweh’s assembly into this wilderness, that we should die there, we and our animals?
5 ¿Por qué nos has sacado de Egipto para venir a este horrible lugar? Aquí no crece nada, ni grano, ni higos, ni viñas, ni granadas. Y no hay agua para beber”.
5 Why 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.”
6 Moisés y Aarón dejaron el pueblo y se fueron a la entrada del Tabernáculo de Reunión. Allí cayeron boca abajo en el suelo, y la gloria del Señor se les apareció.
6 Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and fell on their faces. Yahweh’s glory appeared to them.
7 El Señor le dijo a Moisés,
7 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
8 “Toma el bastón y haz que la gente se reúna a tu alrededor. Mientras miran, tú y tu hermano Aarón ordenarán a la roca y derramará agua. Traerán agua de la roca para que el pueblo y su ganado puedan beber”.
8 “Take the rod, and assemble the congregation, you, and Aaron your brother, and speak to the rock before their eyes, that it pour out its water. You shall bring water to them out of the rock; so you shall give the congregation and their livestock drink.”
9 Moisés recogió el bastón que estaba guardado en la presencia del Señor, como se le había ordenado.
9 Moses took the rod from before Yahweh, as he commanded him.
10 Moisés y Aarón hicieron que todos se reunieran frente a la roca. Moisés les dijo: “¡Escuchen, pandilla de rebeldes! ¿Tenemos que sacar agua de esta roca para ustedes?”
10 Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock, and he said to them, “Hear now, you rebels! Shall we bring water out of this rock for you?”
11 Entonces Moisés tomó el bastón y golpeó la roca dos veces. Salieron chorros de agua para que la gente y su ganado pudieran beber.
11 Moses lifted up his hand, and struck the rock with his rod twice, and water came out abundantly. The congregation and their livestock drank.
12 Pero el Señor les dijo a Moisés y a Aarón: “Como no confiaron en mí lo suficiente para demostrar lo santo que soy a los israelitas, no serán ustedes los que los lleven al país que les he dado”.
12 Yahweh 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.”
13 El lugar donde los israelitas discutían con el Señor se llamaba las aguas de Meribá, y era donde les revelaba su santidad.
13 These are the waters of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with Yahweh, and he was sanctified in them.
14 Moisés envió mensajeros desde Cades al rey de Edom, diciéndole: “Esto es lo que dice tu hermano Israel. Tú sabes todo sobre las dificultades que hemos enfrentado.
14 Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, saying: “Your brother Israel says: You know all the travail that has happened to us;
15 Nuestros antepasados fueron a Egipto y nosotros vivimos allí mucho tiempo. Los egipcios nos trataron mal a nosotros y a nuestros antepasados,
15 how our fathers went down into Egypt, and we lived in Egypt a long time. The Egyptians mistreated us and our fathers.
16 así que pedimos ayuda al Señor, y él escuchó nuestros gritos. Envió un ángel y nos sacó de Egipto. “Escuchen, ahora estamos en Cades, un pueblo en la frontera de su territorio.
16 When we cried to Yahweh, he heard our voice, sent an angel, and brought us out of Egypt. Behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the edge of your border.
17 Por favor, permítanos viajar a través de su país. No cruzaremos ninguno de sus campos o viñedos, ni beberemos agua de ninguno de sus pozos. Nos quedaremos en la Carretera del Rey; no nos desviaremos ni a la derecha ni a la izquierda hasta que hayamos pasado por su país”.
17 “Please let us pass through your land. We will not pass through field or through vineyard, neither will we drink from the water of the wells. We will go along the king’s highway. We will not turn away to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed your border.”
18 Pero el rey de Edom respondió: “Se les prohíbe viajar por nuestro país, de lo contrario saldremos y los detendremos por la fuerza”.
18 Edom said to him, “You shall not pass through me, lest I come out with the sword against you.”
19 “Nos mantendremos en el camino principal”, insistieron los israelitas. “Si nosotros o nuestro ganado bebemos tu agua, te pagaremos por ella. Eso es todo lo que queremos, sólo pasar a pie”.
19 The children of Israel said to him, “We will go up by the highway; and if we drink your water, I and my livestock, then I will give its price. Only let me, without doing anything else, pass through on my feet.”
20 Pero el rey de Edom insistió: “¡Tienen prohibido viajar por nuestro país!” Salió con su gran y poderoso ejército para enfrentarse a los israelitas de frente.
20 He said, “You shall not pass through.” Edom came out against him with many people, and with a strong hand.
21 Como el rey de Edom se negó a permitir que Israel viajara por su territorio, los israelitas tuvieron que volver.
21 Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border, so Israel turned away from him.
22 Todos los israelitas dejaron Cades y viajaron al Monte Hor.
22 They traveled from Kadesh, and the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came to Mount Hor.
23 En el monte Hor, cerca de la frontera con el país de Edom, el Señor dijo a Moisés y Aarón,
23 Yahweh spoke to Moses and Aaron in Mount Hor, by the border of the land of Edom, saying,
24 “Aarón pronto se unirá a sus antepasados en la muerte. No entrará en el país que he dado a los israelitas, porque ambos desobedecieron mi orden en las aguas de Meribá.
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.
25 Que Aarón y su hijo Eleazar se unan a ustedes y suban juntos al monte Hor.
25 Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up to Mount Hor;
26 Quítale a Aarón la ropa de sacerdote y pónsela a su hijo Eleazar. Aarón va a morir allí y se unirá a sus antepasados en la muerte”.
26 and strip Aaron of his garments, and put them on Eleazar his son. Aaron shall be gathered, and shall die there.”
27 Moisés hizo lo que el Señor le ordenó: Subieron al monte Hor a la vista de todos los israelitas.
27 Moses did as Yahweh commanded. They went up onto Mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.
28 Moisés se quitó las ropas sacerdotales que llevaba Aarón y se las puso a su hijo Eleazar. Aarón murió allí, en la cima del monte. Entonces Moisés y Eleazar volvieron a bajar.
28 Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them on Eleazar his son. Aaron died there on the top of the mountain, and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.
29 Cuando la gente se dio cuenta de que Aarón había muerto, todos lloraron por él durante treinta días.
29 When all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they wept for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.
