Minbu 11

1 Phat chomkhat jouvin mipite hochu hahsat genthei jeh a lunglhei louna ahin phong doh tauvin, chule Pakai in aseidohho jouseu abonchan ajasoh keiyin ahi. Hiche Pathen lunghanna chu amaho chunga akoujah jengtan, amaho hal vam ding meikong asoltan, chule ngahmun polam a um mi phabeppi chu asumang tan ahi.

Soon the people began to complain about their hardship in the hearing of the LORD, and when He heard them, His anger was kindled, and fire from the LORD blazed among them and consumed the outskirts of the camp.

2 Hichun mite hochu Mose henga kithopina ngaichan akap un amao tauvin, chuin Mose chun Pathen henga taona anei phat in, meikong chu athiptai.

And the people cried out to Moses, and he prayed to the LORD, and the fire died down.

3 Phat chomkhat jouchun, hiche lai lhang chu Taberah(Hichu 'mei kou namun' tina ahi) tin akihetai ajehchu Pathenna konna meikong chun amaho lah a mi phabep ahal lhah namun ahi.

So that place was called Taberah, because the fire of the LORD had burned among them.

4 Israel mite toh lamjot khom namdang ho chun Egypt gam'a neh le chah ho chu ahin ngaicha tauvin, hichun Israel chate jong ahung kiphin kit tauvin, “Oh, Sa themkhat beh neipe un!” tin a eujah tauvin ahi.

Meanwhile, the rabble among them had a strong craving for other food, and again the Israelites wept and said, “Who will feed us meat?

5 Egypt gam sung a nga aman beija kaneh jiu ka lhangai jun ahi. Chule changmaiho, donkhoho, leeks, louthul atil neiho, chule changnam(Garlic) ho akingai cha chan akimutheije tin asam uve.

We remember the fish we ate freely in Egypt, along with the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions, and garlic.

6 Ahinlah tuhin imacha ka duchat hou kanei tapouvin, Tua kamu kaneh jing uhi hiche Manna bou hi ahitai.

But now our appetite is gone; there is nothing to see but this manna!”

7 Manna kiti chule louthul amu neocha cha hotobang ahin hiche ai-eng tobanga eng dup a kiselum a ahi.

Now the manna resembled coriander seed, and its appearance was like that of gum resin.

8 Mipi chu pamlam a gache uva ahin kilokhom uva, changbong tobang asothei nadia khutpei changsuhgoina manchah amangcha jiuvin ahilou jong leh agoi nel tho jiu ahiye. Hiche amahon changbong tobang chu bel lah ahon uva changlhah pheng ahin sodoh sah jiu ahi. Changlhah pheng chu Olive thao toh kihal jia nehthei tui in atui in ahi.

The people walked around and gathered it, ground it on a handmill or crushed it in a mortar, then boiled it in a cooking pot or shaped it into cakes. It tasted like pastry baked with fine oil.

9 Hiche manna chu ngahmuna jankim teng daitui toh hung khelha tha jia ahiye.

When the dew fell on the camp at night, the manna would fall with it.

10 Hichun Mose’n mipi ho jouse ama ama insunga amaponbuh a in kotbul a kiphinna husa ajan, chule Pakai lunghanna akhong gei leutan, Mose jong alung nopmo asah lheh in ahi.

Then Moses heard the people of family after family weeping at the entrances to their tents, and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly, and Moses was also displeased.

11 Chu in Mose’n Pakai henga aseijin, “Ipidia nasoh hi hiti lom lom a hi nei gimbol hitam? Kachung a khotona nei nei in! Bolkhel ipi kanei a, mipi ho pohgih jouse kapoh ding naphal ham?

So Moses asked the LORD, “Why have You brought this trouble on Your servant? Why have I not found favor in Your sight, that You have laid upon me the burden of all these people?

12 Keiman amaho hi kahindoh sa hiuvem? hiche vannoiya hi ka hin poh lut hiuvem? Minun naosen ajenle a apoh le bang a ipi dia amaho hi kaban a kadople ding a neiseipeh ham? Apu apateo nana peh na gam a chu iti keiman amaho hi ka puilut jou ding ham?

Did I conceive all these people? Did I give them birth, so that You should tell me, ‘Carry them in your bosom, as a nurse carries an infant,’ to the land that You swore to give their fathers?

13 Keiman hoilam a hiche mipi ho neh dinga saphe ka lah ding hitam? Amaho akiphin phin jeng un, “Saphe kaneh ding nei piuvin!” atiuve.

Where can I get meat for all these people? For they keep crying out to me, ‘Give us meat to eat!’

14 Keiman hiche mipi ho hi kachangin ka jou tapoi! Hiche pohgih hi kapohjou kalval in agihtai!

I cannot carry all these people by myself; it is too burdensome for me.

15 Hitobang tah a hi gimsah ding mong neitileh, kipat in lang nei that doh tan. Neihin khohsah in lang hiche gim genthei ho a kon hin nei huidoh o!”

If this is how You are going to treat me, please kill me right now—if I have found favor in Your eyes—and let me not see my own wretchedness.”

16 Hichun Pathen in Mose kom a ahinsei in, “Keima angsung a Israel mipi te lamkai leh Upa ho som sagi hin puilut in. Hiche lamkai hochu Houbuh a nang doh ding khom uhen.

Then the LORD said to Moses, “Bring Me seventy of the elders of Israel known to you as leaders and officers of the people. Bring them to the Tent of Meeting and have them stand there with you.

17 Keima hung kumlha ingting kahin houpi ding nahi. Keiman nang a um lhagao phabep khat la ingting amaho chunga hiche lhagao chu ka khumlut peh ding ahi. Amahon mipiho pohgih chu a pohhu diu, nang in nachang a napoh ngailou ding ahitai.

And I will come down and speak with you there, and I will take some of the Spirit that is on you and put that Spirit on them. They will help you bear the burden of the people, so that you do not have to bear it by yourself.

18 “Chule mipi ho chu seipeh un, 'nangho kisutheng un, ajehchu jing nikho teng nang hon sa nehding nanei ding u ahitai. Nangho na kiphin un, chuleh Pathen in naka nau ajatai. 'Saphe themkhat jeh in Egypt ma um kanom jouve! na tiuve' tuahi Pakai in nang ho nahin peh diu naneh tei dingu ahi tai.

And say to the people: Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, and you will eat meat, because you have cried out in the hearing of the LORD, saying: ‘Who will feed us meat? For we were better off in Egypt!’ Therefore the LORD will give you meat, and you will eat.

19 Hichu nikhat ahi louleh nini tina jong ahi tapon, ni nga, nisom chule nisomni tina jong ahi tapoi, ati.

You will eat it not for one or two days, nor for five or ten or twenty days,

20 Nang hon lhakhat sunga nachimdeh tokah uva naneh diu ahi. Ajeh chu nanghon nakom uva umjing Pakai napampai un, chuleh ama kom a kiphinnan naseiyun, “Idia Egypt gam ihin dalhah mong mong uham” natiuve.””

but for a whole month—until it comes out of your nostrils and makes you nauseous—because you have rejected the LORD, who is among you, and have cried out before Him, saying, ‘Why did we ever leave Egypt?’”

21 Ahin Mose chun Pakai chu adonbut nin, “tuahi mihem sang jagup keima toh um kahiuve, ahin Pakai nangma in 'lhakhat sungse aneh diu kapeh ding ahi! nati.'

But Moses replied, “Here I am among 600,000 men on foot, yet You say, ‘I will give them meat, and they will eat for a month.’

22 Kaganchan neihou jouse kithat jongleh, mihem hijat kipejou nantem? tui khanglen’a um nga jouse kiman hen lang hita jong leh hiche ho jeh achu lhing mong ding hinam?

If all our flocks and herds were slaughtered for them, would they have enough? Or if all the fish in the sea were caught for them, would they have enough?”

23 Hichun Pakaiyin Mose henga thu aseijin, “Ka khut hin atha lhasam aham? Tua hi nang man kathusei hi atah ahi alhem ahi na hetchen ding ahitai!” ati.

The LORD answered Moses, “Is the LORD’s arm too short? Now you will see whether or not My word will come to pass.”

24 Hichun Mose aga potdoh tan Pakaiyin ahenga asei bang chun mipi ho aga hetsah tan ahi. Mosen Upa ho mi som sagi asukhom in chu Houbuh kim vella chun adin sah tan ahi.

So Moses went out and relayed to the people the words of the LORD, and he gathered seventy of the elders of the people and had them stand around the tent.

25 Chuin meilom lah a kon chun Pakai ahung kumlhan Mose chu akihoulim pitai. Hichun Upa somsagi ho chu Mose apeh bang bang Lhagao chu amaho jouse chungnga apetan ahi. Chule lhagao ho chun mi somsagiho chunga achuh phatun, gaova thu aphongdoh tauvin ahi. Ahinlah hiche tobang thil umchan dol chu asoh kit tapon ahi.

Then the LORD came down in the cloud and spoke to him, and He took some of the Spirit that was on Moses and placed that Spirit on the seventy elders. As the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied—but they never did so again.

26 Mipa ni Eldad le Medad chu ngahmun nunglam ah aum lhon in ahi. Amani chu upa ho min kijih lut na a ajao lhon in, ahinlah amanin houbuh chu adalhah hon lou beh ahi tai. Ahijeng vang in amani chunga jong chun Lhagao chu aum tan, hichun amani jong chun gaothu aphong doh lhon e.

Two men, however, had remained in the camp—one named Eldad and the other Medad—and the Spirit rested on them. They were among those listed, but they had not gone out to the tent, and they prophesied in the camp.

27 Pasal gollhang khat alhaiyin Mose koma thu chu agah lhut tan, “Eldad le Medad in gaothu aphong doh lhon tai!” ahung ti.

A young man ran and reported to Moses, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.”

28 Nun chapa Joshua, aneo laiya pat a Mose kithopi a hung pang pa vang chun lunglhai louna aphong doh in “Mose kapu, Eldad le Medad khu kicholdo sah tan!” tin aseiye.

Joshua son of Nun, the attendant to Moses since youth, spoke up and said, “Moses, my lord, stop them!”

29 Ahinlah Mosen a donbut in, “Keima a ding ngaito na a ipi na thangset pi ham? Keiman ka dei pha ka sah vang chu mi jouse hi themgao hihen lang chuleh Pakai in alhagao chu amaho jouse chung nga jong chun koi cheh le kati!” atin ahi.

But Moses replied, “Are you jealous on my account? I wish that all the LORD’s people were prophets and that the LORD would place His Spirit on them!”

30 Hichun Mose jong chu Upa ho chutoh ngahmun kom langa akile kit tauve.

Then Moses returned to the camp, along with the elders of Israel.

31 Hitichun Pakaiyin Vamin puiding in tuikhanglen a huipi ahin nunsah tan, ngahmun chung leh kimvel jousea vamin akhehsah tan ahi. Amaho umna akon a avetna lamlam u miles a gamlha chan a chun tol a kon feet thum sang bou leng thei Vamim adimsoh tan ahi.

Now a wind sent by the LORD came up, drove in quail from the sea, and brought them near the camp, about two cubits above the surface of the ground, for a day’s journey in every direction around the camp.

32 Hichun mipi chu a potdoh'un hiche Vamim chu nilhum kei jin aman un hiche ni jan khovah keijin jong chuleh ajing gei jong chun aloh khom na laijun ahi. Koiman bushels somnga sang a lhomjo amanpouvin ahi! Ngahmun kimvel a chun Vamin sa ho chu agot nading in aphou un ahi.

All that day and night, and all the next day, the people stayed up gathering the quail. No one gathered less than ten homers, and they spread them out all around the camp.

33 Ahinlah Israelten saphe chu akam uva alhai’u aval lhah ding kontah u chun Pakai lung hanna achung'uva ahung chu tan, pul gimneitah alhunsah tan ahi.

But while the meat was still between their teeth, before it was chewed, the anger of the LORD burned against the people, and the LORD struck them with a severe plague.

34 Hiti ahijeh chun hilaimun chu Kibroth-Hattaavah(milop ho lhankhuh) aki sahtai ajehchu amahon Egypt lamah saphe ngai cha jing miho avuinao chu ahi.

So they called that place Kibroth-hattaavah, because there they buried the people who had craved other food.

35 Kibroth-Hattaavah apat chun Israel mite chu Hazeroth gei chu ahung kitol un, phat chomkhat hilai mun a chun ahung kichol uve.

From Kibroth-hattaavah the people moved on to Hazeroth, where they remained for some time.
