< Lampahnah 14 >
1 Rhaengpuei boeih hol uh tih a ol te a huel uh. Te phoeiah pilnam he tekah khoyin ah rhap uh.
And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.
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.
And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron; and the whole congregation said unto them: 'Would that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would 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.
And wherefore doth the LORD bring us unto this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will be a prey; were it not better for us to return into 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.
And they said one to another: 'Let us make a captain, and let us return into 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 on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.
6 Tedae khohmuen aka yaam khuikah Nun capa Joshua neh Jephunneh capa Kaleb long tah a himbai te a phen rhoi.
And Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were of them that spied out the land, rent 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 they spoke unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying: 'The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceeding 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 delight in us, then He will bring us into this land, and give it unto us — a land which floweth with milk and honey.
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 rebel not against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us; their defence is removed from over them, and the LORD is with us; fear them not.'
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 all the congregation bade stone them with stones, when the glory of the LORD appeared in the tent of meeting unto all the children of Israel.
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 unto Moses: 'How long will this people despise Me? and how long will they not believe in Me, for all the signs which I have wrought 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 smite them with the pestilence, and destroy them, and will make of thee a nation greater and mightier than they.'
13 Tedae Moses loh BOEIPA taengah, “A khui lamloh na thadueng neh he pilnam na khuen te Egypt loh ya saeh.
And Moses said unto the LORD: 'When the Egyptians shall hear — for Thou broughtest up this people in Thy might 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.
they will say to the inhabitants of this land, who have heard that Thou LORD art in the midst of this people; inasmuch as Thou LORD art seen face to face, and Thy cloud standeth over them, and Thou goest before them, in a pillar of cloud by day, and in 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.
now if Thou shalt kill this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of Thee will speak, saying:
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 not able to bring this people into the land which He swore unto them, therefore He hath slain them in the wilderness.
17 Thui ham na ti vanbangla ka Boeipa kah thadueng te pomsang mai laeh saeh.
And now, I pray Thee, let the power of the Lord be great, according as Thou hast spoken, saying:
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 plenteous in lovingkindness, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon the third and upon the 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 Thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of Thy lovingkindness, and according as Thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.'
20 Te dongah BOEIPA loh, “Nang ol bangla khodawk ka ngai coeng.
And the LORD said: 'I have pardoned according to thy word.
21 Kai ka hingnah la ka om dongah BOEIPA kah thangpomnah he diklai pum ah bae.
But in very deed, as I live — and all the earth shall be 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.
surely all those men that have seen My glory, and My signs, which I wrought in Egypt and in the wilderness, yet have put Me to proof these ten times, and have not hearkened to My voice;
23 A napa rhoek taengah ka toemngam pah khohmuen te hmu uh pawt vetih kai aka tlaitlaek boeih loh te hmu mahpawh.
surely they shall not see the land which I swore unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that despised Me 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 My servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed Me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess 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 the Amalekite and the Canaanite dwell in the Vale; tomorrow turn ye, and get you into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea.'
26 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses neh Aaron te a voek tih,
And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying:
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 shall I bear with this evil congregation, that keep murmuring against Me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they keep murmuring 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?
Say unto them: As I live, saith the LORD, surely as ye have spoken in Mine ears, so will I do to you:
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 carcasses shall fall in this wilderness, and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, ye that have murmured 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 ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I lifted up My hand that I would make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the 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 your little ones, that ye said would be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have rejected.
32 Tedae nangmih tah namamih rhok te he khosoek ah ni a yalh eh.
But as for you, your carcasses shall 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.
And your children shall be wanderers in the wilderness forty years, and shall bear your strayings, until your carcasses be consumed 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.
After the number of the days in which ye spied out the land, even forty days, for every day a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know My displeasure.
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, surely this will I do unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against Me; in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall 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.
And the men, whom Moses sent to spy out the land, and who, when they returned, made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up an evil report against the land,
37 Khohmuen kah theetnah aka khuen hlang rhoek tah BOEIPA mikhmuh kah lucik dongah a thae la duek uh.
even those men that did bring up an evil report of the land, died by the plague before the LORD.
38 Tedae khohmuen yaam ham aka cet hlang rhoek khui lamloh Nun capa Joshua neh Jephunneh capa Kaleb tah hing.
But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, remained alive of those men that went to spy out the land.
39 Moses loh he ol he Israel ca boeih taengah a thui vaengah pilnam bung bung nguekcoi uh.
And Moses told these words unto all the children of Israel; and the people mourned greatly.
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.
And they rose up early in the morning, and got them up to the top of the mountain, saying: 'Lo, we are here, and will go up unto the place which the LORD hath promised; for we have sinned.'
41 Te vaengah Moses loh, “Balae tih BOEIPA olka te na poe uh, te thaihtak he mahpawh.
And Moses said: 'Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of the LORD, seeing it shall not prosper?
42 Cet uh boeh, nangmih khui ah BOEIPA a om moenih. Na thunkha rhoek mikhmuh ah na yawk uh mahpawt nim?
Go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that ye be not smitten down before your enemies.
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 Amalekite and the Canaanite are before you, and ye shall fall by the sword; forasmuch as ye are turned back from following the LORD, and the LORD 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 presumed to go up to the top of the mountain; nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and Moses, departed not out of 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 Amalekite and the Canaanite, who dwelt in that hill-country, came down, and smote them and beat them down, even unto Hormah.
