< Nambar 20 >

1 Israel rangpuinawk Zin praezaek phakhaih khrah to naah, Kadesh ahmuen ah oh o; Miriam loe to ahmuen ah duek moe, aphum o.
Then came the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, into the desert of Zin in the first month: and the people abode in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there.
2 To ahmuen ah kaminawk naek hanah tui om ai pongah, kaminawk mah Mosi hoi Aaron to zoeh hanah amkhueng o.
And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.
3 Kam nawkamyanawk Angraeng hmaa ah duek o naah, kaicae doeh ka duek o nahaeloe hoih han tomah!
And the people strove with Moses, and spoke, saying, O that we had died when our brethren died before the LORD!
4 Tih hanah kaicae hoi ka pacah o ih moinawk dueksak hanah, Angraeng ih kaminawk hae praezaek ah na caeh hoi haih loe?
And why have ye brought the congregation of the LORD into this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there?
5 Tih hanah Izip prae thung hoiah nang tacawthaih moe, lawksak han kahoih ai, thaiduet thaih kaom ai, misurkung kaom ai, pomogranat thai doeh kaom ai, naek han tui doeh kaom ai, hae ahmuen kasae ah nang caeh haih loe? tiah kasae pakung o moe, a zoeh o.
And why have ye made us come up from Egypt, to bring us 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 Mosi hoi Aaron loe amkhueng kaminawk hmaa hoiah angthawk hoi moe, kahni im thok taengah a caeh hoi pacoengah, long ah akuep hoi; to ah Angraeng lensawkhaih to nihnik khaeah amtueng pae.
And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon their faces: and the glory of the LORD appeared to them.
7 Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
8 cunghet to la ah loe nam nawk Aaron hoi nawnto kaminawk to amkhuengsak ah; nihcae hmaa ah kaom lungsong khaeah lok to thui ah; lungsong thung hoiah tui to tacawt tih, lungsong thung hoi tacawt tui to kaminawk khaeah sin paeh loe, kaminawk hoi moinawk to naesak ah, tiah a naa.
Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye to the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth its water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give water to the congregation and their beasts.
9 Angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Mosi mah Angraeng hmaa ih cunghet to lak.
And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him.
10 Mosi hoi Aaron mah kaminawk to lungsong hmaa ah nawnto amkhuengsak; Mosi mah nihcae khaeah, Nangcae lok aek karah kaminawk, vaihi tahngai oh; hae lungsong thung hoiah nangcae han tui kang tacawt hoi sak han, tiah a naa.
And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said to them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?
11 To naah Mosi mah ban payangh moe, a cunghet hoiah lungsong to vai hnetto boh; to naah pop parai tui to tacawt, kaminawk hoi a tawnh o ih moinawk mah tui to naek o.
And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also.
12 Toe Angraeng mah Mosi hoi Aaron khaeah, Nanghnik loe, Israel kaminawk hmaa ah Ka ciimcaihaih amtuengsak hanah kai nang tang hoi ai pongah, nihcae khaeah ka paek ih prae thungah hae kaminawk hae na caeh hoi haih thai mak ai, tiah a naa.
And the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.
13 Israel kaminawk mah to ahmuen ah Angraeng ih lok aek o cadoeh, Angraeng mah nihcae khaeah a ciimcaihaih amtuengsak pongah, to ih tui to Meribah, tiah kawk o.
This is the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them.
14 Mosi mah Kadesh ahmuen hoiah Edom siangpahrang khaeah laicaehnawk to patoeh moe, Nam nawk Israel mah, Kaicae nuiah angzo raihaihnawk to na panoek boih boeh.
And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, Thus saith thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the travail that hath befallen us:
15 Kaicae ampanawk loe Izip prae ah caeh o tathuk moe, to ah saning sawk parai ah khosak o; Izip kaminawk mah kaicae hoi kaicae ampanawk to pacaekthlaek o;
How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have dwelt in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians afflicted us, and our fathers:
16 Toe Angraeng khaeah ka qah o naah, anih mah kaicae qahhaih lok to tahngaih pae, angmah ih van kami to patoeh moe, Izip prae thung hoiah loisak; khenah, kaicae loe vaihi nangcae ramri taeng, Kadesh ahmuen ah ka oh o.
And when we cried to the LORD, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and hath brought us forth from Egypt: and, behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border:
17 Kaicae hae na prae thung hoiah na caehsak raeh; nangcae ih lawk ah maw, to tih ai boeh loe misur takha thungah maw ka caeh o mak ai; na tuipuek tui doeh ka nae o mak ai; Siangpahrang ih Manglaih Lampui hoiah ni ka caeh o han; na prae ka poeng o ai karoek to, banqoi bantang kam khraeng o mak ai, tiah a naa o.
Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy country: we will not pass through the fields, or through the vineyards, neither will we drink of the water of the wells: we will go by the king’s highway, we will not turn to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy borders.
18 Toe Edom mah anih khaeah, Hae ahmuen hoiah angzo o hmah; nang zoh o nahaeloe, sumsen hoiah kang takroek o han, tiah a naa.
And Edom said to him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword.
19 Israel kaminawk mah anih khaeah, Lampui hoiah ni ka caeh o han; kaicae mah maw, ka tawnh o ih moi mah maw, na tui to nae moeng nahaeloe, atho kang rong o han hmang; tidoeh ka sah o mak ai, khok hoi khue ni ka caeh o han, tiah a naa.
And the children of Israel said to him, We will go by the highway: and if I and my cattle drink of thy water, then I will pay for it: I will only, without doing any thing else, go through on my feet.
20 Toe nihcae mah, Hae ahmuen hoiah na caeh o mak ai, tiah a naa o let bae. Edom loe nihcae tuk hanah thacak pop parai kaminawk hoiah angzoh o.
And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out against him with many people, and with a strong hand.
21 Edom mah Israel caehhaih loklam to pahoe pae ai pongah, Isarael kaminawk loe amlaem o let.
Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border: therefore Israel turned away from him.
22 Israel kaminawk loe Kadesh ahmuen hoiah angqoi o boih moe, Hor mae ah caeh o.
And the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, journeyed from Kadesh, and came to mount Hor.
23 Edom prae ramri, Hor mae ah Angraeng mah Mosi hoi Aaron khaeah,
And the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the border of the land of Edom, saying,
24 Aaron loe angmah ih kaminawk khaeah la tih boeh; Meribah ahmuen ih tui kawng pongah ka thuih ih lok to nang aek hoi pongah, Aaron loe Israel kaminawk khaeah ka paek ih prae thungah akun mak ai.
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 ye rebelled against my word at the water of Meribah.
25 Aaron hoi a capa Eleazar to kawk ah loe, Hor mae ah caeh haih ah;
Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up to mount Hor:
26 Aaron ih khukbuennawk to khring paeh loe, a capa Eleazar to angkhuksak ah; Aaron loe angmah ih kaminawk khaeah la ueloe, to ah dueh tih boeh, tiah a naa.
And strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son: and Aaron shall be gathered to his people, and shall die there.
27 Angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Mosi mah sak; nihcae loe rangpui kaminawk mikhnuk ah Hor mae ah dawh o.
And Moses did as the LORD commanded: and they went up to mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.
28 Mosi mah Aaron ih khukbuennawk to khring pae moe, a capa Eleazar to angkhuksak; Aaron loe mae nuiah duek; to pacoengah Mosi hoi Eleazar loe mae nui hoiah anghum hoi tathuk.
And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there on the top of the mount: and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mount.
29 Aaron duek boeh, tito kaminawk mah panoek o naah, Israel imthung takoh boih mah Aaron hanah ni qui thumto thung palungset o haih.
And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they mourned for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.
