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 sons of Israel come in, — all the company — to the wilderness of Zin, in the first month, and the people abide in Kadesh, and Miriam dieth there, and is buried there.

2 Tedae rhaengpuei ham tui om pawt tih Moses taeng neh Aaron taengah tingtun uh.

And there hath been no water for the company, and they are assembled 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 strive with Moses, and speak, saying, 'And oh that we had expired when our brethren expired before Jehovah!

4 Bang ham nim BOEIPA kah hlangping he, kaimih neh ka rhamsa khaw pahoi duek sak ham he nim khosoek la nang khuen?

and why have ye brought in the assembly of Jehovah unto this wilderness to die there, we and our beasts?

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 why hast thou brought us up out of Egypt to bring us in unto this evil place? no place of seed, and fig, and vine, and pomegranate; and water there is 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 go in from the presence of the assembly unto the opening of the tent of meeting, and fall on their faces, and the honour of Jehovah is seen by them.

7 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,

And Jehovah speaketh 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 rod, and assemble the company, thou and Aaron thy brother; and ye have spoken unto the rock before their eyes, and it hath given its water, and thou hast brought out to them water from the rock, and hast watered the company, and their beasts.'

9 Te dongah amah a uen van bangla Moses loh BOEIPA mikhmuh lamkah conghol te a loh.

And Moses taketh the rod from before Jehovah, as He hath 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 assemble the assembly unto the front of the rock, and he saith to them, 'Hear, I pray you, O rebels, from this rock do we bring out to 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 lifteth up his hand, and smiteth the rock with his rod twice; and much water cometh out, and the company drink, also their beasts.

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 Jehovah saith unto Moses, and unto Aaron, 'Because ye have not believed in Me to sanctify Me before the eyes of the sons of Israel, therefore ye do not bring in this assembly unto the land which I have given to them.'

13 He Israel ca rhoek loh BOEIPA a ho nah Meribah tui ni. Tedae amih taengah amah ciim uh coeng.

These [are] waters of Meribah, because the sons of Israel have 'striven' with Jehovah, and He is sanctified upon 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 sendeth messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom, 'Thus said thy brother Israel, Thou — thou hast known all the travail which hath found 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.

that our fathers go down to Egypt, and we dwell in Egypt many days, and the Egyptians do evil to us and to 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 cry unto Jehovah, and He heareth our voice, and sendeth a messenger, and is bringing us out of Egypt; and lo, we [are] in Kadesh, a city [in] the extremity of thy border.

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 pass over, we pray thee, through thy land; we pass not over through a field, or through a vineyard, nor do we drink waters of a well; the way of the king we go, we turn not aside — right or left — till that we pass over thy border.'

18 Tedae Edom loh anih te, “Kai longah kat boeh, nang doe hamla cunghang kang khuen ve,” a ti nah.

And Edom saith unto him, 'Thou dost not pass over through me, lest with 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 say unto him, 'In the highway we go, and if of thy waters we drink — I and my cattle — then I have given their price; only (it is nothing) on my feet I pass over.'

20 “Cet uh boeh,” a ti neh Edom te anih doe ham pilnam hlangping neh, tlungluen kut neh pawk.

And he saith, 'Thou dost not pass over;' and Edom cometh out to meet him with much people, and with 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.

and Edom refuseth to suffer Israel to pass over through his border, and Israel turneth aside from off him.

22 Kadesh lamloh a caeh uh phoeiah Israel ca rhaengpuei boeih Hor tlang la pawk uh.

And the sons of Israel, the whole company, journey from Kadesh, and come in unto mount Hor,

23 Edom khohmuen rhi kah Hor tlang ah BOEIPA loh Moses neh Aaron te a voek tih,

and Jehovah speaketh unto Moses and unto Aaron in mount Hor, on the border 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 is gathered unto his people, for he doth not go in unto the land which I have given to the sons of Israel, because that ye provoked My mouth at the waters of Meribah.

25 Aaron neh a capa Eleazar te khuen lamtah Hor tlang cet.

'Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and cause them to go 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 Aaron of his garments, and thou hast clothed [with] them Eleazar his son, and Aaron is gathered, and doth 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 doth as Jehovah hath commanded, and they go up unto mount Hor before the eyes of all the company,

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 strippeth Aaron of his garments, and clotheth with them Eleazar his son, and Aaron dieth there on the top of the mount; and Moses cometh down — Eleazar also — from 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 company see that Aaron hath expired, and they bewail Aaron thirty days — all the house of Israel.
