Nambar 10
1 Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
Yahweh also told Moses/me,
2 kaminawk amkhueng o naah kawkhaih, ataihaih ahmuen maeto pacoeng maeto bang angpuen naah patoh hanah, sum kanglung hoiah mongkah hnetto sah ah;
“[Tell someone to] make two trumpets by hammering each one from [one lump of] silver. Blow the trumpets to summon the people to come together and also to signal that they must move their tents [to a new location].
3 mongkah na ueng o hmaek naah, acaeng kaminawk boih angkhuenghaih kahni im thok taengah, nang ih ahma ah amkhueng o boih tih.
If both trumpets are blown, it means that everyone must gather together at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
4 Mongkah maeto khue ueng nahaeloe, ukkungnawk hoi Israel ukkung lu koeknawk to na hma ah amkhueng o tih.
If only one trumpet is blown, it means that only the [twelve] leaders of the tribes must gather together.
5 Acoe paekhaih mongkah to ueng naah, ni angyae bangah kaom kaminawk to hmabang ah caeh o tih.
If the trumpets are blown loudly, the tribes that are to the east [of the Sacred Tent] should start to travel.
6 Acoe paekhaih mongkah vai hnetto ueng naah, aloih bang ataihaih ahmuen ah kaom kaminawk to caeh o tih; acoe paekhaih mongkah lok loe nihcae caeh han angmathaih lok ah om tih.
When the trumpets are blown loudly the second time, the tribes that are to the south should start to travel. The loud blasts on the trumpet will signal that they should start to travel.
7 Kaminawk amkhueng o hanah, mongkah to ueng ah; toe kanghmong acoe paekhaih to ueng hmah.
When you want only to gather the people together, blow the trumpets, but do not blow them as loudly.
8 Aaron caanawk hoi qaimanawk mah mongkah to ueng o tih; hae loe na caanawk dung khoek to sak han koi hmuen ah om tih.
“The priests who are descended from Aaron are the ones who should blow the trumpets. That is a regulation that will never be changed.
9 Na prae thungah nangcae pacaekthlaek misanawk to tuk hanah na caeh o naah, acoe paekhaih lok hoi mongkah to nawnto ueng ah; to naah na Angraeng Sithaw mah nangcae to panoek ueloe, na misanawk ban thung hoiah pahlong tih.
When you fight against enemies who attack you in your own land, tell the priests to blow the trumpets loudly. I, Yahweh, your God, will hear that, and I will rescue you from your enemies.
10 Nangcae loe nawmhaih atue, poihsakhaih atue, khrah kangtha uumhaih atue ah na Angraeng Sithaw na panoek o thai hanah, angbawnhaih hoi angdaeh angbawnhaih sak naah mongkah to ueng oh; Kai loe na Angraeng Sithaw ah ka oh, tiah a naa.
Also tell the priests to blow the trumpets when the people are happy, and at the festivals [each year], and at the times when they celebrate the new moon each month. Tell them to blow the trumpets when the people bring offerings that will be completely burned, and when they bring offerings to maintain fellowship with me. If they do that, it will help you to remember that I, Yahweh your God, [will help you].”
11 Saning hnet, khrah hnetto haih, ni pumphaeto naah, hnukung ah kaom kahni im ranui ih tamai to van bangah angkhoeng tahang.
On the twentieth day of May in the second year [after the/we Israelis left Egypt], the cloud rose up from above the Sacred Tent.
12 To naah Israel kaminawk loe kholong caeh han Sinai praezaek hoiah angthawk o; to pacoeng ah Paran praezaek ah tamai to anghak let.
So we/the Israelis traveled from the Sinai Desert, and we/they continued traveling [north] until the cloud stopped in the Paran Desert.
13 Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah paek ih lok baktih toengah, hae loe nihcae hmaloe koek kholong caehhaih ah oh.
That was the first time we/they moved, obeying the instructions that Yahweh had given to Moses/me to tell them.

29 Angraeng mah, Mosi khaeah paek ih lok baktih toengah, Mosi mah Midian prae, Mosi ih amsae, Raguel capa Hobab khaeah, Angraeng mah nangcae khaeah ka paek han, tiah lokkam ih prae thungah vaihi ka caeh o; kaicae hnukah bang ah, Angraeng mah Israel kaminawk ih khosak hoihaih kawng to thuih boeh pongah, nang to kang tahmen o han hmang, tiah a naa.
One day Moses/I said to his/my brother-in-law Hobab, the son of Reuel from the Midian people-group, “We are on the way to the place that Yahweh promised to give to us. Come with us, and we will take good care of you, because Yahweh has promised [to do] good things for us Israeli people.”
30 Hobab mah anih khaeah, Ka caeh mak ai; ka prae hoi kaimah ih kaminawk khaeah ni ka caeh han, tiah a naa.
But Hobab replied, “No, I will not go with you. I want to return to my own land and to my own family.”
31 Toe Mosi mah, Kaicae hae na caehtaak hmah; kaicae loe praezaek ah ka tai o han vop, tito na panoek; nang loe kaicae ih mik ah na oh.
But Moses/I said, “Please do not leave us. You know the places where we can set up our tents in this desert, and you can guide us.
32 Kaicae hoi nawnto nang zoh nahaeloe, Angraeng mah kaicae khaeah paek ih kahoih hmuen, nang han doeh kang pazet o toeng han, tiah a naa.
Come with us. We will share with you all the good things that Yahweh gives to us.”
33 To pongah Angraeng ih mae hoiah angthawk o moe, ni thumto caehhaih kangthla ahmuen ah a caeh o; ni thumto kholong caeh nathung, Angraeng lokkamhaih thingkhong loe, nihcae ataihaih ahmuen to pakrong pae hanah, nihcae hmaa ah caeh.
[So Hobab agreed to go with them]. The Israelis left Sinai Mountain, [which they called] Yahweh’s Mountain, and they walked for three days. The [men carrying the] sacred chest went in front of the other people for those three days, and they kept looking for a place to set up their tents.
34 Khodai ah nihcae kholong caeh o naah, Angraeng ih tamai loe nihcae nuiah oh poe.
The cloud sent by Yahweh was over them every day.
35 Thingkhong hmabang ah caeh naah, Mosi mah, Aw Angraeng, Angthawk ah! Na misanawk loe amhet o phang nasoe loe, nang hnuma kaminawk to na hma ah cawn o nasoe, tiah a naa.
Each morning when the men who were carrying the sacred chest started to walk, Moses/I said, “Yahweh, arise! Scatter your enemies! Cause those who hate you to run away from you!”
36 Anghakhaih ahmuen to a phak o naah, Kroek laek ai Israel kaminawk khaeah, Aw Angraeng, amlaem let lai ah, tiah a naa.
And each time the men [stopped to] set down the sacred chest, Moses/I said, “Yahweh, stay close to the thousands of us Israelis!”
