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.
Then came the sons of Israel the whole assembly, into the desert of Zin in the first month, and the people dwelt in Kadesh, —and Miriam died there, and was buried there.
2 Tedae rhaengpuei ham tui om pawt tih Moses taeng neh Aaron taengah tingtun uh.
And there was no water for the assembly, —so they gathered together against Moses and against 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 the people contended with Moses, —and spake saying, Would then we had died when our brethren died, before Yahweh!
4 Bang ham nim BOEIPA kah hlangping he, kaimih neh ka rhamsa khaw pahoi duek sak ham he nim khosoek la nang khuen?
Wherefore then hast thou brought the convocation of Yahweh into this desert, —to die there, we, and our cattle?
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.
And wherefore did ye cause us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us into this wretched place?—not a place of seeds, and figs, and vines and pomegranates, even water, is there none 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 went in from the presence of the multitude unto the entrance of the tent of meeting, and fell upon their faces, —and the glory of Yahweh appeared unto them.
7 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
Then spake Yahweh unto 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 staff and gather together the assembly, thou, and Aaron thy brother, then shall ye speak unto the cliff before their eyes and it shall give forth its waters, —so shalt thou bring forth unto them water, out of the cliff, and shalt cause the assembly, and their cattle to drink.
9 Te dongah amah a uen van bangla Moses loh BOEIPA mikhmuh lamkah conghol te a loh.
And Moses took the staff from before Yahweh, —as he 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 Moses and Aaron gathered together the convocation before the cliff, —and he said unto them: Hear I pray you ye rebels! Out of this cliff, must we bring forth for you water?
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 Moses lifted high his hand and smote the cliff with his staff, twice, —and there came forth water in abundance, and the assembly and their cattle, did drink.
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.
Then said Yahweh unto Moses and unto Aaron, Because ye believed not in me, to hallow me in the eyes of the sons of Israel, therefore, shall ye not bring in this convocation into the land which I have given unto them.
13 He Israel ca rhoek loh BOEIPA a ho nah Meribah tui ni. Tedae amih taengah amah ciim uh coeng.
The same, were the waters of Meribah [that is "Contention"] in that the sons of Israel contended with Yahweh, —and so he hallowed himself among 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.
And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh, unto the king of Edom, —Thus, saith thy brother Israel, Thou thyself, knowest all the distress which befell 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.
and how our fathers went down to Egypt, and we abode in Egypt, many days, and that the Egyptians ill-treated 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 we made outcry unto Yahweh, and he heard our voice, and sent a messenger, and brought us forth out of Egypt, —lo! then, we, are in Kadesh, a city at the extremity of thy boundary,
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.
Let us, we pray thee, pass through thy land—we will not pass through field or vineyard, nor will we drink the waters of a well, —by the king’s road, will we go—we will turn neither to the right hand nor to the left, until we get through thy boundary.
18 Tedae Edom loh anih te, “Kai longah kat boeh, nang doe hamla cunghang kang khuen ve,” a ti nah.
And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass through my land, —lest with the sword, I come out to meet 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 sons of Israel said unto him—By the highway, will we go up, and if thy waters, we should drink—I, and my cattle then would I give the price thereof, —only—it is nothing!—with my feet, would I pass through.
20 “Cet uh boeh,” a ti neh Edom te anih doe ham pilnam hlangping neh, tlungluen kut neh pawk.
And he said, Thou shalt not pass through. And Edom came out to meet him, with a strong people, and with a firm hand.
21 Israel paek ham neh a khorhi long kat ham Edom loh a aal van neh Israel khaw a taeng lamloh hoi uh.
Thus did Edom refuse to give Israel passage through his boundary, —and Israel turned away from him.
22 Kadesh lamloh a caeh uh phoeiah Israel ca rhaengpuei boeih Hor tlang la pawk uh.
Then set they forward from Kadesh, —and the sons of Israel. all the assembly, came in to Mount Hor.
23 Edom khohmuen rhi kah Hor tlang ah BOEIPA loh Moses neh Aaron te a voek tih,
Then spake Yahweh unto Moses and unto Aaron in Mount Hor, —near the boundary of the land of Edom saying:
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.
Aaron shall be withdrawn unto his kinsfolk, for he shall not enter into the land. which I have given unto the sons of Israel, —because ye spurned my bidding, at the waters of Meribah.
25 Aaron neh a capa Eleazar te khuen lamtah Hor tlang cet.
Take thou Aaron, and Eleazar his son, —and bring them up 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 strip thou Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son, —and, Aaron, shall be withdrawn and shall die there.
27 BOEIPA kah a uen bangla Moses loh a ngai tih rhaengpuei boeih kah mikhmuh ah Hor tlang la cet uh.
And Moses did as Yahweh commanded, —and they went up into, Mount Hor, in sight of all the assembly.
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 Moses stripped Aaron of his garments and put them upon Eleazar his son, and Aaron died there, in the top of the mount, —and Moses and Eleazar came down out of the mount.
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 assembly saw that Aaron was dead; and they bewailed Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.
