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.
Now the people complained about their troubles as Yahweh listened. Yahweh heard the people and became angry. Fire from Yahweh burned among them and consumed some of the camp on its edges.
2 Te vaengah pilnam te Moses taengah pang tih Moses te BOEIPA taengah a thangthui daengah hmai khaw duek.
Then people called out to Moses, so Moses prayed to Yahweh, and the fire stopped.
3 BOEIPA kah hmai loh amih te a dom dongah te kah hmuen ming te Taberah la a khue.
That place was named Taberah, because Yahweh's fire burned among them.
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?
Some foreign people began to camp with Israel's descendants. They wanted better food to eat. Then the people of Israel began to weep and say, “Who will give us meat to eat?
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 ate freely in Egypt, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic.
6 Tedae mamih kah hinglu tah rhae coeng tih mamih mikhmuh kah manna pawt atah a cungkuem he om voel pawh.
Now our appetite is gone, because all we can see is this manna.”
7 Manna khaw mah sungsin muu bangla, a mik khaw thingpi mik bangla om.
Manna was like coriander seed. It looked like resin.
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 walked around and gathered it. They ground it in mills, beat it in mortars, boiled it in pots, and made it into cakes. It tasted like fresh olive oil.
9 Rhaehhmuen ah buemtui a bo hatah khoyin ah te nen te manna tla,” a ti uh.
When the dew fell on the camp in the night, the manna also fell.
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.
Moses heard the people weeping in their families, and every man was at the entrance to his tent. Yahweh was very angry, and in Moses' eyes their complaining was wrong.
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.
Moses said to Yahweh, “Why have you treated your servant so badly? Why are you not pleased with me? You make me carry the load of all these people.
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 these people? Have I given them birth so that you should say to me, 'Carry them closely to your chest as a father carries a baby?' Should I carry them to the land that you swore to their ancestors to give them?
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.
Where can I find meat to give to all this people? They are weeping in front of me and are saying, 'Give us meat to eat.'
14 He pilnam pum phueih ham tah kai bueng neh ka coeng moenih, kai ham khaw rhih aih.
I cannot bear all these people alone. They are too much 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.
Since you are treating me this way, kill me now—if I find favor in your eyes—do not let me see my misery.”
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.
Yahweh said to Moses, “Bring to me seventy of Israel's elders. Be sure that they are elders and officers of the people. Bring them to the tent of meeting to stand there with you.
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.
I will come down and talk with you there. I will take some of the Spirit that is on you and put it on them. They will bear the burden of the people with you. You will not have to bear it alone.
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.
Say to the people, 'Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow and you will indeed eat meat, for you have wept and Yahweh has heard. You said, “Who will give us meat to eat? It was good for us in Egypt.” Therefore Yahweh will give you meat, and you will eat it.
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.
You will not eat meat for only one day, two days, five days, ten days, or 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.
but you will eat meat for a whole month until it comes out of your nostrils. It will disgust you because you have rejected Yahweh, who is among you. You have wept before him. You said, “Why did we leave 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.
Then Moses said, “I am with 600,000 people, and you have said, 'I will give them meat to eat for a whole month.'
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.
Should we kill flocks and herds to satisfy them? Should we catch all the fish in the sea to satisfy 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.
Yahweh said to Moses, “Is my hand short? Now you will see whether or not my word is true.”
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.
Moses went out and told the people Yahweh's words. He gathered seventy of the people's elders and positioned them around 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.
Yahweh came down in the cloud and spoke to Moses. Yahweh took some of the Spirit that was on Moses and put it on the seventy elders. When the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied, but only on that occasion and not again.
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.
Two men remained in the camp, named Eldad and Medad. The Spirit also rested on them. Their names were written on the list, but they had not gone out to the tent. Nevertheless, 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.
A young man in the camp ran and told Moses, “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.
Joshua son of Nun, Moses' assistant, one of his chosen men, said to Moses, “My master Moses, stop 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.
Moses said to him, “Are you jealous for my sake? I wish that all of Yahweh's people were prophets and that he would put his Spirit on them all!”
30 Te phoeiah Moses te Israel a ham rhoek neh a rhaehhmuen la khoem uh.
Then Moses and the elders of Israel went back to the camp.
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.
Then a wind came from Yahweh and brought quail from the sea. They fell near the camp, about a day's journey on one side and a day's journey on the other side. The quail surrounded the camp about two cubits above the ground.
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.
The people were busy gathering quail all that day, all the night, and all the next day. No one gathered less than ten homers of quail. They shared the quail all through 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.
While the meat was still between their teeth, while they were chewing it, Yahweh became angry at them. He attacked the people with a very great disease.
34 Te vaengah maeh hue pilnam te pahoi a up uh dongah te hmuen ming khaw Kiborthhattaavah la a khue.
That place was named Kibroth Hattaavah, because there they buried the people who had craved meat.
35 Pilnam te Kiborthhattaavah lamloh Hazeroth la puen uh tih Hazeroth ah om uh.
From Kibroth Hattaavah the people traveled to Hazeroth, where they stayed.
