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.
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 To ahmuen ah kaminawk naek hanah tui om ai pongah, kaminawk mah Mosi hoi Aaron to zoeh hanah amkhueng o.
There was no water for the congregation; and they assembled 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!
The people quarrelled with Moses, and spoke, saying, “We wish that we had died when our brothers 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?
Why have you brought the LORD’s assembly into this wilderness, that we should die there, we and our animals?
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.
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 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.
Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and fell on their faces. The LORD’s glory appeared to them.
7 Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
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 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 Angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Mosi mah Angraeng hmaa ih cunghet to lak.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
The LORD 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 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.
These are the waters 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.
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 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 lived in Egypt a long time. The Egyptians mistreated 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.
When we cried to the LORD, 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 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.
“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 Toe Edom mah anih khaeah, Hae ahmuen hoiah angzo o hmah; nang zoh o nahaeloe, sumsen hoiah kang takroek o han, tiah a naa.
Edom said to him, “You shall not pass through me, lest I come out with the sword against you.”
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.
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 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.
He said, “You shall not pass through.” 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, so Israel turned away from him.
22 Israel kaminawk loe Kadesh ahmuen hoiah angqoi o boih moe, Hor mae ah caeh o.
They travelled from Kadesh, and the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came to Mount Hor.
23 Edom prae ramri, Hor mae ah Angraeng mah Mosi hoi Aaron khaeah,
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 you rebelled against my word at the waters 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 on Eleazar his son. Aaron shall be gathered, 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.
Moses did as the LORD commanded. They went up onto 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.
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 Aaron duek boeh, tito kaminawk mah panoek o naah, Israel imthung takoh boih mah Aaron hanah ni qui thumto thung palungset o haih.
When all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they wept for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.
