Minbu 14
1 Hichun Israel mite abonchauvin aw-sang tah in akap un chu leh amaho chu jan khovah geijin akap’un hiche mipiho awgin chu lakisa’a ki thong bang in Mose leh Aaron dounan aboldoh tauvin ahi.
And so, crying out, the entire crowd wept throughout that night.
2 Hiche mipi awgin lakisa chu akithong jing in Mose le Aaron douna kibol ahin Egypt gamah ana thidoh kihi le pha jonte tin asam uve.
And all the sons of Israel were murmuring against Moses and Aaron, saying:
3 Pakaiyin hilang gam lah ahi eipui doh jing’u ham gal’a thi bep dinga ka jite hou numei chapang jaona athigam bep dinga Egypt gamsunga konna nei hin puidoh u ham tin asei uve.
“If only we had died in Egypt,” and, “If only we would perish in this vast wilderness,” and, “May the Lord not lead us into this land, lest we fall by the sword, and our wives, as well as our children, be led away as captives. Is it not better to return to Egypt?”
4 Hi chun Amaho khat le khat aki hou khom mun eihon lamkai thah lheng u hitin Egypt lamah kinung le tauhite tin akihou lim tauvin ahi.
And they said to one another, “Let us appoint our leader, and so return to Egypt.”
5 Hichun Mose le Aaron chu Israel mite jouse masang tol lang ngan akun lha lhon tan ahi.
And when Moses and Aaron heard this, they fell prone on the ground in the sight of the multitude of the sons of Israel.
6 Pasal mini gam kholla che teni chu Nun chapa Joshua le Jephanneh chapa Caleb chun aponsil lhon abotkeh lhon tai.
Yet truly, Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who themselves had also viewed the land, tore their garments,
7 Ama nin Israel mipi teho lah’a asei lhon tan, keini’n ka khol chil lhon gam ho chu ki dang tah le loupi tah ahiye, tin asei lhon’e.
and they said to the entire multitude of the sons of Israel: “The land that we circled through is very good.
8 Chule Pathen hi eiho dinga hiche gamsung khu eiphatsah peh uva ahi tan Pakai chun agamsunga ei pui lut diu, khoiju le bongnoi lonna gam ahiye.
If the Lord will be gracious to us, he will lead us into it, and he will give us the land flowing with milk and honey.
9 Pakai chu douhih un, chule hiche gamsunga chengte jong kicha hih un. Eiho a ding in amaho khu apanpi ding umlou anchah a pang tobangbep ahiuve! Avengtup ding aneipouve, Pathen thahat chungnung aum in aman abanthahat in ei panpi jing diu ahiye.
Do not choose to be rebellious against the Lord. And do not fear the people of this land, for, like bread, so are we able to devour them. All protection has withdrawn from them. The Lord is with us. Do not be afraid.”
10 Amavang Mipi jouse chu Joshua le Caleb chu songa se lih ding agong tauvin Pakai, Pathen loupina chungnung chu Israelte chunga ahung kitah lang tan houbuh thingkong chu ahung kilah tan ahi.
And when the entire multitude cried out, and they wanted to crush them with stones, the glory of the Lord appeared, over the roof of the covenant, to all the sons of Israel.
11 Chu in Pathen in Mose chu a houlimpi tan itih chan hiche Israel mite hin donlou nahsah louva eikoi diu hitam? Thet-um tah thil ki dang tampi aboldoh tauvin ahi.
And the Lord said to Moses: “How long will this people disparage me? How long will they refuse to believe me, despite all the signs that I have wrought before them?
12 Keiman amaho chu ka kihet mosah ding chule ka suh mang ding ahiuve. Ahinlah keiman nangma mihat tah ka so ding, Amaho sanga hat jo phajo ka so ding na hi, ati.
Therefore, I will strike them with a pestilence, and so I will consume them. But you I will make the ruler over a great nation, and one which is mightier than this one.”
13 Ahin lah Mose vang chu anom pon a lung phamo lheh in Egypt miten ipi agel diuvem hiche thil um dan ahin het teng ule Mose’n Pathen chu adong tan Egypte ahat soh hel lin nangma tha hatna Israel mite na hin pui doh’a Egypt apat na hung sohchat’u ahiye.
And Moses said to the Lord: “But then the Egyptians, from whose midst you led out this people,
14 Pakai, Pathen nangma tun hiche Israel mite hi na suhmang le Egypt miten agamma cheng ho lah’a alhut diu, nangma toh kimai to ahiuvin chule jan teng meikonga napui jun sun teng meilhang in na pui jiuve.
and the inhabitants of this land, who have heard that you, O Lord, are among this people, and that you are seen face to face, and that your cloud protects them, and that you go before them with a column of cloud by day, and a column of fire by night,
15 Pakai nangman amaho hi ilou theh a nasuh mang leh hiche nam mite na puidan kidang tah ana hesa nam mite chun, sei uvintin,
may hear that you have killed so great a multitude, as if they were one man, and they may say:
16 Pakaiyin Amaho chu a suhgam na ajeh chu atep peh na’u gamsung chu apui lhung jou tahlou jeh ahi ati diu ahi.
‘He was not able to lead the people into the land about which he had sworn. Therefore, he slew them in the wilderness.’
17 Pakaiyin nangma boltheina natoh chu jom in vetsah kit in. Pakai nangma in kiphong doh kit inlang,
Therefore, may the strength of the Lord be magnified, just as you swore, saying:
18 Pakai, Pathen hi lung neng tah lunghang vahlou chuleh ngailutna dim jing chonset ngaidam them ahin suhkhel neite angaidam jing Pakai hi chonsetna ho ngaidam themji ahi kiti chu musah in.
‘The Lord is patient and full of mercy, taking away iniquity and wickedness, and forsaking no one who is harmless. He visits the sins of the fathers upon the sons, to the third and fourth generation.’
19 Ngaidam min hiche mite chonset nahi keima Mose ka taona nei ngai peh inlang nami hepina leh ngailutna jal’a nangman hiche mite Egypt apatna na hin ngaidam jing sa bang chun.
Forgive, I beg you, the sins of this people, according to the greatness of your mercy, just as you have been gracious to them in their journey from Egypt to this place.”
20 Hichun Mose chu Pathen in ahin houlim pitan nangma thusei dung juiyin ka ngaidam tai, ati.
And the Lord said: “I have forgiven them according to your word.
21 Tahbeh’a kasei ahi Keima hingjing Pathen chu kahi jeh in vannoi Leiset hi ka loupina dimset jing ding ahi.
Also, as I live, the entire world shall be filled with the glory of the Lord.
22 Hiche Israel chate ho lah’a hi koima jong katep peh gam lhung jou talou diu ahi. Ajeh chu Amaho jousen ka loupina chu ahetsoh hel’u ahin, chule thil kidang tah melchihna Egypt gam’a jong ka bol lin chule gamthip lah’a jong ka bol lin ahin lah amahon tun avel lin ima lou tah in awgin sangtah in asam un, aki phin uvin ahi.
And yet, all the men who have seen my majesty, and the signs that I have wrought in Egypt and in the wilderness, and who have tested me ten times already, and yet have not obeyed my voice,
23 Keiman apute apateu ka teppihna gam chu a amu lou beh diu, Amaho lah’a koi tobang eidou dal ho jouse chu imacha amu lou beh ding ahi.
these shall not see the land, about which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any of those who detracted me gaze upon it.
24 Ahin lah ka lhachapa Caleb vang hi midang hotoh alungel’a kibah louna aum in Caleb hin hom tho tah’in eihou jing in hi ti ahijeh achu agam kholna muna chu ka pui lhung tei ding ahi, Caleb le achilhahte jouse hiche gam chu aboncha a alo soh hel diu ahi.
My servant Caleb, who, being full of another spirit, has followed me, I will lead into this land, through which he has wandered, and his offspring shall possess it.
25 Tun nangma ki nunghei tan, nangman Amalek teho, Canan miteho chenna lang chu na jot lou beh ding, jing teng nangma kipat doh in gamthip lam nama no ding ahi, ati.
For the Amalekites and the Canaanites live in the valleys. Tomorrow, move the camp and return into the wilderness, by the way of the Red Sea.”
26 Hichun Pakaiyin Mose le Aaron henga hiti hin aseiyin ahi.
And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
27 Itihchan hiche migilou namho toh hin ka chenkhom’a ka umpi jing ding ham? Kipah lou lunglhai louva ka chung’a aum jing uhin ipi avetsah hi tantem, ati.
“How long will this very wicked multitude murmur against me? I have heard the complaints of the sons of Israel.
28 Tun amaho chu seipeh un. Keima hi Pathen ka hin ka umjing in nangma na sei doh na geldoh lou chu ka bol peh ding na hi tauve.
Therefore, say to them: As I live, says the Lord, as you spoke in my hearing, so will I do to you.
29 Nangho gamthipma thiden ding nahi tauve, ka chunga lungkim louna na neitah jeh un kum som nia pat chunglam sen thina ato ding ahi, ati.
In the wilderness, here shall your carcasses lie. All you who were numbered from twenty years and above, and who have murmured against me,
30 Katepna gamsung na lo tahlou diu, Caleb, Jephanneth chapa chule amani Joshua, Nun chapa amani bou chun alo lhon ding ahi.
you shall not enter into the land, over which I lifted up my hand to cause you to live there, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
31 Ahinlah nachate khangthah ho nanghon mi thagam ding bep a na gel hou chu keiman ka panpi ding agam leiset na deimo sau gam chu a toupha diu ahi.
But your little ones, about whom you said that they would be a prey to the enemies, I will lead them in, so that they may see the land that has displeased you.
32 Amavang nangho jouse na thilong uchu hiche gamthip nelgam ahi kivui lhum ding ahi tai.
Your carcasses shall lie in the wilderness.
33 Na chate ho nachilhah hou vang hikom gam thip lah’a kum somli-le-li gei kelngoi chinga pang ding ahi tauve. Hi tobang’a chu nanghon nalou chalna hou na mu diu hiche nelgam ahi na thi soh heldiu ahiye.
Your sons shall wander in the desert for forty years, and they shall bear your fornication, until the carcasses of their fathers are consumed in the desert.
34 Ijeh inem itileh, na lamkai hon ni somli jen lutna gam leiset kholla cheuva ahin na chonset jeh’a kisuh genthei ding na hitai nikhat lampi chu kum somli jen na jot ding u ahi tai. Hiche teng chule nanghon Pathen toh melma a umhi itobang’a hahsa ham ti nahet doh diu ahi.
According to the number of the forty days, during which you examined the land, one year shall be charged for each day. And so, for forty years you shall take back your iniquities, and you shall know my retribution.
35 Keima Pakai, Pathen kahin na ka hin toh pan ding ahi tai hiche mipi ho lah’a eidou’a pang jing ho chu hikom nelgam ma hi suh gentheiya umdiu chule amaho chu a hinkho kicha soh hel diu ahi.
For just as I have spoken, so shall I do, to this entire most wicked multitude, which has risen up together against me. In the wilderness, here shall it fade away and die.”
36 Pasal som ho lah’a Mose gam velhi dinga asol ho lah’a ami khat Pathen douna ana tong gopa chu ahi.
Therefore, all the men, whom Moses had sent to contemplate the land, and who, having returned, had caused the entire multitude to murmur against him, disparaging the land as if it were evil,
37 Pathen henga amapa chu pul in athi tai.
suffered death and were struck down in the sight of the Lord.
38 Gam kholchin lah’a pasal somle ni ahiuvin amaho lah achu Joshua le Caleb bou asoh cha uvin ahi.
But only Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh remained alive, out of all those who had journeyed to examine the land.
39 Mose’n Pathen thu cheng seidoh jouse chu Israel ho lah a asei peh phat chun mipi ho chun nopma asah thei lheh jeng un ahi.
And Moses spoke all these words to all the sons of Israel, and the people mourned exceedingly.
40 Amaho chu a Jing nikho in, jingkah matah in aki thou un mol chungvum laitah a akaldoh un, aki hou uvin, Pathen douna a chonset natoh ibol doh’u ahitai, tun vang Pakai jin ei teppeh na’u gam chu jon tauhite aki tiuve.
And behold, rising up at first light, they climbed to the top of the mountain, and they said, “We are prepared to ascend to the place, about which the Lord has spoken, for we have sinned.”
41 Ahinlah Mose’n a donbut in ibola nangho Pathen thupeh palkeh dia na got uva, Gamthip gam a kile ding na kisah u baham?
And Moses said to them: “Why do you transgress the word of the Lord, merely because it will not result in prosperity for you?
42 Tun nanghon hiche gam-tep gam lam’a lut ding jong got datauvin, na melmateu khut ah gamlha bepseu un nate, Ajeh chu Pathen in na kithopi louhel diu ahitai.
Do not ascend, for the Lord is not with you, lest you be overthrown before your enemies.
43 Nanghon Amalek mite le Cannan mite na ki dinte pi teng uleh amahon na tha gamhel lo diu ahi tai. Ajeh chu ama nana dalhah tah jeh uva, Pathen in nang ho jong na dalhah’u ahitai.
The Amalekite and the Canaanite are before you, by whose sword you shall be ruined, for you were not willing to consent to the Lord, and so the Lord is not with you.”
44 Hinlah mipin atum tentun uvin, Mose jong pang lou, Pakai thingkong jong jao talou hel in, aki tol uvin thinglhang lam chu ama no tauve.
But they, having been darkened, ascended to the top of the mountain. But the ark of the testament of the Lord, and Moses, did not withdraw from the camp.
45 Hichun thing lhang molchung lamma pansa ho chu Amalek mite leh Canaan miten ahin bulhu tauvin, hiti chun Hormah chan ahin del tauvin ahi.
And the Amalekites descended, along with those Canaanites who were living in the mountains. And so, striking and cutting them down, they pursued them all the way to Hormah.
