Lampahnah 11

1 Pilnam te BOEIPA hna ah a thae la kohuet uh tih BOEIPA loh a yaak vaengah a thintoek te sai. Te dongah BOEIPA hmai loh amih taengah a dom tih rhaehhmuen a bawtnah te a hlawp.

And it came to pass that when the people were giving themselves up to murmuring, it was grievous in the ears of Yahweh, —so Yahweh hearkened, and kindled was his anger, and the fire of Yahweh burned among them, and consumed the uttermost part of the camp.

2 Te vaengah pilnam te Moses taengah pang tih Moses te BOEIPA taengah a thangthui daengah hmai khaw duek.

Then did the people make outcry unto Moses, —and Moses prayed unto Yahweh, and the fire sank down.

3 BOEIPA kah hmai loh amih te a dom dongah te kah hmuen ming te Taberah la a khue.

So he called the name of that place, Taberah ["A Burning"] because there burned among them the fire of Yahweh.

4 Amih khui ah aka boihlum kah hoehhamnah te a ngaidam uh. Te vaengah Israel ca rhoek khaw mael uh tih a rhah neh, “U long nim mamih maeh n'cah ve?

Moreover the mixed multitude that was in their midst concealed not their lusting, —and so even the sons of Israel, fell away and wept, and said: Who will grant us to eat flesh?

5 Egypt ah nga n'caak te n'ngai uh coeng. Yilpuet yiltang neh anthing khaw, rhasawn ling neh rhasawn bok tah a hoeihae mai la.

We remember the fish that we did eat in Egypt, without money, —the cucumbers, and the water-melons, and the leeks and the onions, and the garlick.

6 Tedae mamih kah hinglu tah rhae coeng tih mamih mikhmuh kah manna pawt atah a cungkuem he om voel pawh.

But, now, our soul is dried up, there is nothing at all, —unless, unto the manna, [we turn] our eyes.

7 Manna khaw mah sungsin muu bangla, a mik khaw thingpi mik bangla om.

Now, the manna, was like coriander seed, and the appearance thereof like the appearance of bdellium,

8 Pilnam loh van tih a yoep uh. Kuelhsum dongah a kuelh uh, sumngol dongah a daeng uh, am dongah a thong uh. Te te buh la a khueh uh tih a tuihlim khaw, situi hlantui kah a tuihlim bangla om.

The people used to go about and pick it up, and grind it with a pair of mill-stones, or pound it in a mortar, and boil it in a pot, and make it into round cakes, —then was the taste thereof like the taste of a sweet cake made with oil.

9 Rhaehhmuen ah buemtui a bo hatah khoyin ah te nen te manna tla,” a ti uh.

When the dew came down upon the camp by night, the manna came down thereupon.

10 Pilnam loh a cako neh, a dap thohka ah hlang a rhah te Moses loh a yaak. Te dongah BOEIPA kah thintoek te sai khungdaeng tih Moses mikhmuh ah thae.

So then Moses heard the people weeping by their families, every one at the entrance of his tent, —then kindled the anger of Yahweh fiercely, and in the eyes of Moses, it was grievous.

11 Te vaengah Moses loh BOEIPA te, “Balae tih na sal soah thae na huet? Balae tih na mik dongah mikdaithen khaw ka hmuh pawh? He pilnam pum kah hnorhih he kamah soah tloeng ham mai he.

And Moses said unto Yahweh—Wherefore hast thou let thy servant come to grief, and wherefore have I not found favour in thine eyes, —that thou shouldest lay the burden of all this people upon me?

12 Kai loh pilnam pum he ka yom tih kai loh ka sak nim? Kai taengah tah, 'Cahni aka poeh loh a napa ham na toemngam pah khohmuen la a khuen bangla pilnam he na rhang dongah poem,’ na ti.

Did, I, conceive all this people, or, I, beget them, —that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father carrieth a suckling, unto the soil which thou didst swear unto their fathers?

13 He pilnam pum taengah paek ham maeh te kai taengah me lamkah nim a om eh? Kai taengah rhap uh tih, 'Kaimih he maeh m'pae lamtah ka ca uh eh,’ a ti uh.

Whence should, I, have flesh to give to all this people, —for they keep weeping by me saying, Oh give us flesh that we may eat!

14 He pilnam pum phueih ham tah kai bueng neh ka coeng moenih, kai ham khaw rhih aih.

Unable, am, I, by myself, to carry all this people, —for they are too heavy for me.

15 Kai he he tla nan saii oeh atah kamah he nan ngawn khaw nan ngawn laeh mako. Na mikhmuh ah mikdaithen ka dang atah ka yoethae he ka hmu boel eh?,” a ti nah.

But if, in this way, thou art going to deal with me, slay me, I beseech thee, slay, if I have found favour in thine eyes, —and let me not see my grief,

16 Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Israel kah a hamca lamloh pilnam kah a hamca neh rhoiboei la na ming te hlang sawmrhih ah kai taengla han coi. Amih te tingtunnah dap la khuen lamtah namah taengah pahoi pai uh saeh.

Then said Yahweh unto Moses—Gather thou unto me seventy men, from among the elders of Israel, of whom thou knowest that they are elders of the people and their overseers, —then shalt thou take them unto the tent of meeting, and they shall station themselves there with thee.

17 Ka suntla vetih nang te pahoi kam voek bitni. Te vaengah nang dongkah Mueihla te ka pet vetih amih soah ka khueh ni. Pilnam kah hnorhih te nang n'yingyawn puei daengah ni nang namah bueng ham na phueih pawt eh.

Then will I come down, and speak with thee there, and will take of the spirit that is upon thee and put upon them, —and they shall carry, with thee, the burden of the people, and, thou, shalt not carry it by thyself.

18 Pilnam te, “Thangvuen kah ham ciim uh laeh. Maeh caak ham mai te BOEIPA hna ah na rhap uh tih, “U long nim mamih he maeh n'cah ve, Egypt ah ni mamih ham a hoeikhang palueng,” na ti dongah BOEIPA loh nangmih te maeh m'paek vetih na caak uh bitni.

And, unto the people, shalt thou say: Hallow yourselves by to-morrow, and ye shall eat flesh, for ye have wept in the ears of Yahweh saying—Who will grant us to eat flesh? for it was well with us in Egypt, —so then Yahweh will give you flesh and ye shall eat.

19 Hnin at bueng na ca mahpawh, hnin nit mai pawt tih hnin nga mai moenih. Hnin rha bal mai pawt tih khohnin kul bueng moenih.

Not one day, shall ye eat nor two days, —nor five days nor ten days, nor twenty days:

20 Hla bal hnin bal na hnarhong lamloh a coe vaengah nangmih ham kona-awk la om bitni. Na khui ah BOEIPA na hnawt uh tih na rhap uh. A mikhmuh ah, “Balae tih Egypt lamloh n'caeh uh he,” na ti uh,”ti nah,” a ti.

for a month of days until it cometh forth out of your nostrils, so shall it become to you a loathsome thing, —because ye have refused Yahweh who is in your midst, and have wept before him, saying, Wherefore now came we forth out of Egypt?

21 Tedae Moses loh, “Pilnam kah rhalkap he thawng ya rhuk lo tih a khui ah kai ka om ngawn. Namah long tah, “Amih te maeh ka paek vetih khohnin bal hla bal a cak uh bitni,” na ti.

And Moses said, Six hundred thousand footmen, are the people in whose midst am, I, yet thou hast said—Flesh, will I give unto them, and they shall eat for a month of days.

22 Amih ham boiva neh saelhung ngawn cakhaw amih te cung venim? Tuitunli kah nga boeih te amih ham kol pah cakhaw amih te cung venim?” a ti nah.

Shall the flocks and herds, be slaughtered for them, that it may suffice for them? Shall all the fishes of the sea, be gathered together unto them that it may suffice for them?

23 Te dongah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “BOEIPA he a kut ngun a? Kai ol he nang taengah a thoeng khaw, a thoeng pawt khaw na hmuh pawn ni,” a ti nah.

Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Shall the hand of Yahweh, fail? Now, shalt thou see whether my word come to pass unto thee or not.

24 Te phoeiah Moses te cet tih pilnam taengah BOEIPA ol a thui. Te phoeiah pilnam kah a hamca khui lamloh hlang sawmrhih te a coi tih amih te dap kaepvai ah a pai sak.

And Moses went forth and spake unto the people the words of Yahweh, —and gathered together seventy men from among the elders of the people, and caused them to stand round about the tent.

25 Te vaengah BOEIPA te cingmai khuiah ha suntla tih anih te a voek. Te phoeiah anih dongkah Mueihla te a pet tih a ham rhoek hlang sawmrhih soah a paek. Amih soah Mueihla a om van neh tonghma uh dae khoep uh hae pawh.

Then Yahweh came down, in the cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave unto the seventy men—the elders. And it came to pass that when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and then did so no more.

26 Te vaengah hlang panit tah rhaehhmuen ah uelh rhoi. Pakhat ming tah Eldad tih pabae te a ming Medad ni. Amih rhoi soah mueihla om tih amih rhoi khaw thum rhoi. Tedae dap la mop rhoi pawt tih rhaehhmuen ah tonghma rhoi.

Now there were two men left behind in the camp—the name of the one, was Eldad and the name of the other, Medad, so then the spirit, rested on them—they, being among them who were written, though they had not gone forth unto the tent, —but they prophesied in the camp.

27 Te dongah camoe pakhat te yong tih Moses taengah a puen pah. Te vaengah, “Eldad neh Medad tah rhaehhmuen ah tonghma rhoi,” a ti nah.

And there ran a young man, and told Moses and said, —Eldad and Medad, are prophesying in the camp!

28 Te dongah Moses loh a cacawn lamkah a tueihyoeih Nun capa Joshua loh a doo tih, “Ka boeipa Moses aw amih te paa sak,” a ti nah.

Then responded Joshua son of Nun the attendant of Moses from his youth, and said, —My lord Moses forbid them!

29 Tedae Moses loh anih te, “Kai ham na thatlai a? BOEIPA kah pilnam pum he tonghma la a khueh mai khaming. Amih rhoi soah BOEIPA a mueihla a paek maco,” a ti.

But Moses said unto him, Art, thou, jealous for, me? Oh would that, all the people of Yahweh, were prophets! Yea let Yahweh put his spirit upon them!

30 Te phoeiah Moses te Israel a ham rhoek neh a rhaehhmuen la khoem uh.

Then was Moses received back into the camp, —he and the elders of Israel.

31 Te phoeiah BOEIPA taeng lamloh khohli a tueih tih tuipuei lamkah tanghuem a khuen pah. Te vaengah rhaehhmuen la hnin at longcaeh, hnin at longcaeh hil a khueh pah. Rhaehhmuen kaepvai ah khaw diklai hman ah dong nit hil ngang.

Now, a wind, had sprung up, from Yahweh, and cut off quails from the sea, and let them lie over the camp—as it were a days journey here and a days journey there, round about the camp, —and as it were two cubits on the face of the land.

32 Pilnam te thoo tih khothaih puet, khoyin puet, a vuen hnin at puet tanghuem te a kol uh. Homer parha a baeko hil khaw a kol uh tih rhaehhmuen kaepvai ah a yaal la a yaal uh.

And the people rose up all that day and all the night and all the next day, and gathered the quails, he that did least, gathered ten homers, —and they spread them out for themselves spreading away, round about the camp.

33 Maeh te a no laklo ah a ai hlan vaengah BOEIPA kah thintoek te pilnam taengah sai tih BOEIPA loh pilnam te hmasoe puei neh muep a ngawn.

The flesh, was yet between their teeth, not yet chewed, —when the anger of Yahweh, had kindled upon the people, and Yahweh smote the people, with an exceeding great plague.

34 Te vaengah maeh hue pilnam te pahoi a up uh dongah te hmuen ming khaw Kiborthhattaavah la a khue.

And the name of that place was called Kibroth-hattaavah—because there, they buried the people who had lusted,

35 Pilnam te Kiborthhattaavah lamloh Hazeroth la puen uh tih Hazeroth ah om uh.

From Kibroth-hattaavah, the people set forward to Hazeroth, —and they remained in Hazeroth.
