Lampahnah 20
1 Israel ca rhoek te hla lamhmacuek ah tah rhaengpuei boeih loh Zin khosoek la pawk uh. Pilnam te Kadesh ah kho a sak vaengah Miriam duek tih pahoi a up uh.
And the children of Israel, and all the multitude came into the desert of Sin, in the first month: and the people abode in Cades. And Mary died there, and was buried in the same place.
2 Tedae rhaengpuei ham tui om pawt tih Moses taeng neh Aaron taengah tingtun uh.
And the people wanting water, came together against Moses and Aaron:
3 Te dongah pilnam loh Moses te a ho tih a voek uh hatah, “BOEIPA mikhmuh ah mamih manuca a pal vaengah m'pal uh palueng mako.
And making a sedition, they said: Would God we had perished among our brethren before the Lord.
4 Bang ham nim BOEIPA kah hlangping he, kaimih neh ka rhamsa khaw pahoi duek sak ham he nim khosoek la nang khuen?
Why have you brought out the church of the Lord into the wilderness, that both we and our cattle should die?
5 He hmuen thae la kaimih khuen ham te Egypt lamloh kaimih nan caeh puei he bang ham nim? Cangti, thaibu, misur neh tale hmuen khaw tal tih ok ham tui khaw om pawh,” a ti uh.
Why have you made us come up out of Egypt, and have brought us into this wretched place which cannot be sowed, nor bringeth forth figs, nor vines, nor pomegranates, neither is there any water to drink?
6 Te dongah Moses neh Aaron tah hlangping mikhmuh lamloh tingtunnah dap thohka la cet rhoi tih a maelhmai neh a bakop rhoi vaengah BOEIPA kah thangpomnah tah amih rhoi taengah a phoe pah.
And Moses and Aaron leaving the multitude, went into the tabernacle of the covenant, and fell flat upon the ground, and cried to the Lord, and said: O Lord God, hear the cry of this people, and open to them thy treasure, a fountain of living water, that being satisfied, they may cease to murmur. And the glory of the Lord appeared over them.
7 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
8 “Conghol te pom lamtah namah neh na manuca Aaron khaw rhaengpuei khui ah tingtun van. Amih mikhmuh ah thaelpang te voek lamtah a tui m'paek bitni. Te vaengah thaelpang lamkah tui te amih ham khuen lamtah rhaengpuei neh a rhamsa te tul,” a ti nah.
Take the rod, and assemble the people together, thou and Aaron thy brother, and speak to the rock before them, and it shall yield waters. And when thou hast brought forth water out of the rock, all the multitude and their cattle shall drink.
9 Te dongah amah a uen van bangla Moses loh BOEIPA mikhmuh lamkah conghol te a loh.
Moses therefore took the rod, which was before the Lord, as he had commanded him,
10 Te phoeiah Moses neh Aaron tah thaelpang hmai ah hlangping neh tingtun uh tih amih te, “Hlang koek rhoek hatun uh laeh, he thaelpang lamkah nim nangmih ham tui kam paek ve?” a ti nah.
And having gathered together the multitude before the rock, he said to them: Hear, ye rebellious and incredulous: Can we bring you forth water out of this rock?
11 Moses loh a kut a thueng tih thaelpang te a conghol neh hnavoei a boh. Te vaengah tui muep phuet tih rhaengpuei neh a rhamsa loh a ok.
And when Moses had lifted up his hand, and struck the rock twice with the rod, there came forth water in great abundance, so that the people and their cattle drank,
12 Tedae BOEIPA loh Moses taeng neh Aaron taengah, “Kai he Israel ca rhoek mikhmuh ah kai he a ciim la nan tangnah rhoi moenih. Te dongah hlangping he a taengah ka paek khohmuen la na pawk uh mahpawh,” a ti nah.
And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron: Because you have not believed me, to sanctify me before the children of Israel, you shall not bring these people into the land, which I will give them.
13 He Israel ca rhoek loh BOEIPA a ho nah Meribah tui ni. Tedae amih taengah amah ciim uh coeng.
This is the Water of contradiction, where the children of Israel strove with words against the Lord, and he was sanctified in them.
14 Kadesh lamlong tah Moses loh Edom manghai taengla puencawn a tueih tih, “Na manuca Israel he na ming, bongboepnah cungkuem loh kaimih m'mah coeng.
In the mean time Moses sent messengers from Cades to the king of Edom, to say: Thus saith thy brother Israel: Thou knowest all the labour that hath come upon us:
15 A pa rhoek he Egypt la suntla uh tih kum te yet Egypt ah kho ka sak uh. Tedae Egypt loh kaimih taeng neh a pa rhoek taengah khaw thae a huet uh.
In what manner our fathers went down into Egypt, and there we dwelt a long time, and the Egyptians afflicted us and our fathers.
16 Tedae BOEIPA taengla ka pang uh dongah kaimih ol a yaak tih puencawn han tueih. Te phoeiah kaimih he Egypt lamloh n'khuen tih na khorhi bawt kah khopuei Kadesh ah ka om uh coeng he.
And how we cried to the Lord, and he heard us, and sent an angel, who hath brought us out of Egypt. Lo, we are now in the city of Cades, which is in the uttermost of thy borders,
17 Na khohmuen lamlong he ka kat uh mai eh. Lohma long neh misurdum long khaw ka kat uh mahpawh, tuito tui khaw ka o uh mahpawh, manghai longpuei ah ni ka caeh uh eh, na khorhi ka poeng hil banvoei bantang ka phael uh mahpawh” a ti nah.
And we beseech thee that we may have leave to pass through thy country. We will not go through the fields, nor through the vineyards, we will not drink the waters of thy wells, but we will go by the common highway, neither turning aside to the right hand, nor to the left, till we are past thy borders.
18 Tedae Edom loh anih te, “Kai longah kat boeh, nang doe hamla cunghang kang khuen ve,” a ti nah.
And Edom answered them: Thou shalt not pass by me: if thou dost I will come out armed against thee.
19 Te vaengah Israel ca rhoek loh, “Longpuei ah ka cet uh mai eh. Na tui te kamah neh ka boiva long khaw ka ok atah a phu kam van paek bitni. Olka om mahpawh ka kho dongah ka kat uh mai eh,” a ti nah.
And the children of Israel said: We will go by the beaten way: and if we and our cattle drink of thy waters, we will give thee what is just: there shall be no difficulty in the price, only let us pass speedily.
20 “Cet uh boeh,” a ti neh Edom te anih doe ham pilnam hlangping neh, tlungluen kut neh pawk.
But he answered: Thou shalt not pass. And immediately he came forth to meet them with an infinite multitude, and a strong hand,
21 Israel paek ham neh a khorhi long kat ham Edom loh a aal van neh Israel khaw a taeng lamloh hoi uh.
Neither would he condescend to their desire to grant them passage through his borders. Wherefore Israel turned another way from him.
22 Kadesh lamloh a caeh uh phoeiah Israel ca rhaengpuei boeih Hor tlang la pawk uh.
And when they had removed the camp from Cades, they came to mount Her, which is in the borders of the land of Edom:
23 Edom khohmuen rhi kah Hor tlang ah BOEIPA loh Moses neh Aaron te a voek tih,
Where the Lord spoke to Moses:
24 “Aaron te a pilnam taengla khoem uh saeh. Meribah tui ah ka ol te nan koek uh dongah Israel ca rhoek taengah ka paek khohmuen la kun boel saeh.
Let Aaron, saith he, go to his people: for he shall not go into the land which I have given the children of Israel, because he was incredulous to my words, at the waters of contradiction.
25 Aaron neh a capa Eleazar te khuen lamtah Hor tlang cet.
Take Aaron and his son with him, and bring them up into mount Hor:
26 Aaron kah a himbai te pit pah lamtah a capa Eleazar te bai sak. Aaron tah duek vetih pahoi khoem uh pawn ni,” a ti nah.
And when thou hast stripped the father of his vesture, thou shalt vest therewith Eleazar his son: Aaron shall be gathered to his people, and die there.
27 BOEIPA kah a uen bangla Moses loh a ngai tih rhaengpuei boeih kah mikhmuh ah Hor tlang la cet uh.
Moses did as the Lord had commanded: and they went up into mount Hor before all the multitude.
28 Te phoeiah Moses loh Aaron kah a himbai te a pit pah tih a capa Eleazar te a bai sak. Te vaengah Aaron tah tlang lu ah pahoi duek coeng tih Moses neh Eleazar bueng te tlang lamloh suntla rhoi.
And when he had stripped Aaron of his vestments, he vested Eleazar his son with them. And Aaron being dead in the top of the mountain, he came down with Eleazar.
29 Rhaengpuei boeih loh Aaron a pal te a hmuh uh vaengah tah Aaron te Israel imkhui pum loh Khohnin sawmthum a rhah uh.
And all the multitude seeing that Aaron was dead, mourned for him thirty days throughout all their families.
