Lampahnah 14
1 Rhaengpuei boeih hol uh tih a ol te a huel uh. Te phoeiah pilnam he tekah khoyin ah rhap uh.
Then the whole congregation lifted up their voices and cried out, and that night the people wept.
2 Israel ca pum he Moses taeng neh Aaron taengah nul uh. Te rhoi taengah rhaengpuei boeih loh, “Egypt kho ah n'duek uh mako, he khosoek ah nim n'duek mai mako.
All the Israelites grumbled against Moses and Aaron, and the whole congregation said to them, “If only we had died in the land of Egypt, or if only we had died in this wilderness!
3 cunghang dongah cungku ham he BOEIPA loh balae tih he khohmuen la mamih n'khuen. Mamih yuu ca he maeh la om uh pawn ni. Egypt la mael he mamih ham then ngai pawt nim? a Boeipa loh mamih he hela ingkhueh uh? Egypt ramla koep mael he then ngai mah pawt a? Moses neh Aaron taengah ati nauh.
Why is the LORD bringing us into this land to fall by the sword? Our wives and children will become plunder. Would it not be better for us to go back to Egypt?”
4 Te vaengah hlang loh a manuca taengah, “A lu pakhat n'tuek uh vetih Egypt la m'mael uh mako,” a ti uh.
So they said to one another, “Let us appoint a leader and return to Egypt.”
5 Te vaengah Moses neh Aaron tah Israel ca rhaengpuei hlangping boeih kah mikhmuh ah a maelhmai te a buenglueng rhoi.
Then Moses and Aaron fell facedown before the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel.
6 Tedae khohmuen aka yaam khuikah Nun capa Joshua neh Jephunneh capa Kaleb long tah a himbai te a phen rhoi.
Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes
7 Te phoeiah Israel ca rhaengpuei boeih te a thui rhoi tih, “Te khohmuen ka paan uh tih ka yaam vaengah khohmuen khaw bahoeng, bahoeng then.
and said to the whole congregation of Israel, “The land we passed through and explored is an exceedingly good land.
8 BOEIPA he mamih taengah hmae tih mamih he te khohmuen la m'pawk sak vaengah suktui neh khoitui aka long khohmuen te mamih taengah m'paek bitni.
If the LORD delights in us, He will bring us into this land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and He will give it to us.
9 BOEIPA bueng te tloelh uh boeh, nangmih loh khohmuen kah pilnam te rhih uh boeh. Amih kah hlipkhup te amih taeng lamloh nong coeng tih amih te mamih kah buh la om coeng. Tedae BOEIPA he mamih taengah a om dongah amih te rhih uh boeh,” a ti rhoi.
Only do not rebel against the LORD, and do not be afraid of the people of the land, for they will be like bread for us. Their protection has been removed, and the LORD is with us. Do not be afraid of them!”
10 Te vaengah rhaengpuei pum loh amih rhoi te lungto neh dae ham cai uh. Tedae BOEIPA kah thangpomnah tah tingtunnah dap kah Israel ca boeih taengah a phoe pah.
But the whole congregation threatened to stone Joshua and Caleb. Then the glory of the LORD appeared to all the Israelites at the Tent of Meeting.
11 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “He pilnam loh kai he mevaeng hil n'tlaitlaek uh vetih a khui ah miknoek cungkuem ka saii lalah mevaeng hil nim kai he n'tangnah uh pawtve.
And the LORD said to Moses, “How long will this people treat Me with contempt? How long will they refuse to believe in Me, despite all the signs I have performed among them?
12 Amih te duektahaw neh ka ngawn vetih ka haek ni. Tedae nang te namtom tanglue la kang khueh vetih amih lakah na pilnu ngai ni,” a ti nah.
I will strike them with a plague and destroy them—and I will make you into a nation greater and mightier than they are.”
13 Tedae Moses loh BOEIPA taengah, “A khui lamloh na thadueng neh he pilnam na khuen te Egypt loh ya saeh.
But Moses said to the LORD, “The Egyptians will hear of it, for by Your strength You brought this people from among them.
14 He khohmuen kah khosa rhoek taengah thui uh saeh. He pilnam lakli ah BOEIPA namah na om te a yaak uh tih BOEIPA namah taengah mik neh mik khaw hmu uh rhoi coeng. Nang kah cingmai khaw amih soah pai. Amih mikhmuh ah khothaih kah cingmai tung neh khoyin ah hmai tung la na caeh pah.
And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have already heard that You, O LORD, are in the midst of this people, that You, O LORD, have been seen face to face, that Your cloud stands over them, and that You go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night.
15 He pilnam he hlang pakhat bangla na duek sak koinih nang olthang a yaak vaengah namtom loh a thui bal ni.
If You kill this people as one man, the nations who have heard of Your fame will say,
16 Te vaengah, “Amih ham a toemngam pah khohmuen la BOEIPA loh he pilnam he khuen ham a coeng pawt dongah amih te khosoek ah a ngawn,” a ti uh ni.
‘Because the LORD was unable to bring this people into the land He swore to give them, He has slaughtered them in the wilderness.’
17 Thui ham na ti vanbangla ka Boeipa kah thadueng te pomsang mai laeh saeh.
So now I pray, may the power of my Lord be magnified, just as You have declared:
18 BOEIPA tah thintoek a ueh tih sitlohnah khaw puh. Thaesainah neh boekoek khaw a phueih pah dae pa rhoek kathaesainah te ca rhoek soah khongthum, khongli duela a cawh tih hmil rhoe hmil pawh.
‘The LORD is slow to anger and abounding in loving devotion, forgiving iniquity and transgression. Yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished; He will visit the iniquity of the fathers upon their children to the third and fourth generation.’
19 Na sitlohnah dongkah boeilennah neh Egypt lamloh tahae hil pilnam na khuen bangla he pilnam kathaesainah he khodawkngai mai,” a ti nah.
Pardon, I pray, the iniquity of this people, in keeping with the greatness of Your loving devotion, just as You have forgiven them ever since they left Egypt.”
20 Te dongah BOEIPA loh, “Nang ol bangla khodawk ka ngai coeng.
“I have pardoned them as you requested,” the LORD replied.
21 Kai ka hingnah la ka om dongah BOEIPA kah thangpomnah he diklai pum ah bae.
“Yet as surely as I live and as surely as the whole earth is filled with the glory of the LORD,
22 Egypt neh khosoek ah ka tueng sak kamah kah thangpomnah neh ka miknoek te hlang boeih loh a hmuh. Tedae kai he voei rha khaw n'noemcai uh tih kai ol he hnatun uh pawh.
not one of the men who have seen My glory and the signs I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness—yet have tested Me and disobeyed Me these ten times—
23 A napa rhoek taengah ka toemngam pah khohmuen te hmu uh pawt vetih kai aka tlaitlaek boeih loh te hmu mahpawh.
not one will ever see the land that I swore to give their fathers. None of those who have treated Me with contempt will see it.
24 Ka sal Kaleb tah a khuiah mueihla tloe a om tih kai hnukah hnawn uh. Te dongah anih te a pawk ham koi khohmuen la pahoi ka khuen vetih a tiingan loh te te a pang ni.
But because My servant Caleb has a different spirit and has followed Me wholeheartedly, I will bring him into the land he has entered, and his descendants will inherit it.
25 Kol kah khosa Amalek neh Kanaan te thangvuen ah mael laeh saeh lamtah nangmih ham khosoek kah carhaek tuipuei longpuei te paan uh laeh,” a ti nah.
Now since the Amalekites and Canaanites are living in the valleys, turn back tomorrow and head for the wilderness along the route to the Red Sea.”
26 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses neh Aaron te a voek tih,
Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
27 Boethae he rhaengpuei ham me hil nim kai taengah a nul uh ve? Amih Israel ca rhoek kah kohuetnah loh kai taengah a nul uh khaw ka yaak coeng.
“How long will this wicked congregation grumble against Me? I have heard the complaints that the Israelites are making against Me.
28 Kai hingnah BOEIPA kah olphong he amih taengah thui pah. Kai hna ah na thui bangla nangmih taengah ka saii van mahpawt nim?
So tell them: As surely as I live, declares the LORD, I will do to you exactly as I heard you say.
29 Na hlangmi boeih khuiah capa kum kul lamloh a so hang na soep thil boeih khaw kai taengah na nul vanbangla na rhok te he khosoek ah yalh ni.
Your bodies will fall in this wilderness—all who were numbered in the census, everyone twenty years of age or older—because you have grumbled against Me.
30 A khuiah nangmih khosak sak ham ka kut ka phuel coeng dae Jephunneh capa Kaleb neh Nun capa Joshua phoeiah tah te khohmuen la nangmih na kun uh mahpawh.
Surely none of you will enter the land in which I swore to settle you, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.
31 Na ca rhoek khaw maeh la om pawnko na ti uh cakhaw amih te a pawk puei vetih khohmuen na hnawt uh te khaw a ming uh bitni.
But I will bring your children, whom you said would become plunder, into the land you have rejected—and they will enjoy it.
32 Tedae nangmih tah namamih rhok te he khosoek ah ni a. yalh eh.
As for you, however, your bodies will fall in this wilderness.
33 Na ca rhoek te khosoek ah boiva aka dawn la kum likip om uh vetih na rhok a cing hil khosoek ah nangmih kah pumyoihnah te a phueih uh ni.
Your children will be shepherds in the wilderness for forty years, and they will suffer for your unfaithfulness until the last of your bodies lies in the wilderness.
34 Khohnin la hnin likip khuiah khohmuen na yaam uh vaengkah khohnin tarhing ah a kum dongah khaw hnin at te kum khat la om ni. Nangmih kathaesainah te kum sawmli na phueih uh vaengah kai kah noihhainah te na ming uh bitni.
In keeping with the forty days you spied out the land, you shall bear your guilt forty years—a year for each day—and you will experience My alienation.
35 Kai BOEIPA loh ka thui coeng atah he boethae rhaengpuei boeih taengah ka saii het mahpawt nim. Kai aka tuentah rhoek te he khosoek ah khawk uh tih pahoi duek uh ni,” a ti nah.
I, the LORD, have spoken, and I will surely do these things to this entire wicked congregation, which has conspired against Me. They will meet their end in the wilderness, and there they will die.”
36 Te dongah Moses loh khohmuen yaam ham a tueih hlang a mael uh vaengah tah rhaengpuei boeih te a taengah rhaeh la rhaeh uh tih khohmuen kawng te theetnah la a khuen.
So the men Moses had sent to spy out the land, who had returned and made the whole congregation grumble against him by bringing out a bad report about the land—
37 Khohmuen kah theetnah aka khuen hlang rhoek tah BOEIPA mikhmuh kah lucik dongah a thae la duek uh.
those men who had brought out the bad report about the land—were struck down by a plague before the LORD.
38 Tedae khohmuen yaam ham aka cet hlang rhoek khui lamloh Nun capa Joshua neh Jephunneh capa Kaleb tah hing.
Of those men who had gone to spy out the land, only Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh remained alive.
39 Moses loh he ol he Israel ca boeih taengah a thui vaengah pilnam bung bung nguekcoi uh.
And when Moses relayed these words to all the Israelites, the people mourned bitterly.
40 Mincang ah thoo uh tih tlang som la luei uh. “Amah dae la he, n'tholh uh dongah BOEIPA kah a thui hmuen la cet uh pawn sih,” a ti uh.
Early the next morning they got up and went up toward the ridge of the hill country. “We have indeed sinned,” they said, “but we will go to the place the LORD has promised.”
41 Te vaengah Moses loh, “Balae tih BOEIPA olka te na poe uh, te thaihtak he mahpawh.
But Moses said, “Why are you transgressing the commandment of the LORD? This will not succeed!
42 Cet uh boeh, nangmih khui ah BOEIPA a om moenih. Na thunkha rhoek mikhmuh ah na yawk uh mahpawt nim?
Do not go up, lest you be struck down by your enemies, because the LORD is not among you.
43 Nangmih mikhmuh ah Amalek neh Kanaan om lah ko. BOEIPA hnuk lamloh na mael uh dongah cunghang neh na cungku uh ni. Nangmih taengah BOEIPA om mahpawh,” a ti nah.
For there the Amalekites and Canaanites will face you, and you will fall by the sword. Because you have turned away from the LORD, He will not be with you.”
44 Te vaengah tlang som la luei ham calak uh dae BOEIPA kah paipi thingkawng neh Moses tah rhaehhmuen khui lamloh nong pawh.
But they dared to go up to the ridge of the hill country, though neither Moses nor the ark of the covenant of the LORD moved from the camp.
45 Tlang kah khosa Amalek neh Kanaan te ha suntla vaengah tah Amih te a ngawn uh tih Hormah duela amih te a phop uh.
Then the Amalekites and Canaanites who lived in that part of the hill country came down, attacked them, and routed them all the way to Hormah.
