Tafadhali turuhusu tupite katika nchi yako. Hatutapita katika shamba lolote, wala shamba la mizabibu, au kunywa maji kutoka kwenye kisima chochote. Tutasafiri kufuata njia kuu ya mfalme, na hatutageuka kulia wala kushoto mpaka tuwe tumeshapita nchi yako.”
Numbers 20:17 in English
Numbers 20:17 · Berean Standard Bible
Please let us pass through your land. We will not cut through any field or vineyard, or drink water from any well. We will stay on the King’s Highway; we will not turn to the right or to the left until we have passed through your territory.”
Context
15Baba zetu walishuka Misri, nasi tumeishi huko miaka mingi. Wamisri walitutesa sisi na baba zetu, 16lakini tulipomlilia Bwana, alisikia kilio chetu na akamtuma malaika akatutoa Misri.
“Sasa tupo hapa Kadeshi, mji ulio mpakani mwa nchi yako. 17Tafadhali turuhusu tupite katika nchi yako. Hatutapita katika shamba lolote, wala shamba la mizabibu, au kunywa maji kutoka kwenye kisima chochote. Tutasafiri kufuata njia kuu ya mfalme, na hatutageuka kulia wala kushoto mpaka tuwe tumeshapita nchi yako.” 18Lakini mfalme wa Edomu akajibu:
“Hamtapita hapa; kama mkijaribu kupita, tutatoka na kuwashambulia kwa upanga.” 19Waisraeli wakajibu:
“Sisi tutafuata njia kuu; tena ikiwa sisi au mifugo yetu tutakunywa tone la maji yenu, tutalilipia. Sisi tunataka tu kupita kwa miguu, wala si kitu kingine chochote.”
