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.

Then did all the assembly lift up, and give forth their voice, —and the people 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, murmured against Moses and against Aaron, —and all the assembly said unto them—Oh that we had died in the land of Egypt, Or in this wilderness, oh that we had died!

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.

Wherefore then is Yahweh bringing us into this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and little ones, will become a prey! Would it not be well for us to go back towards 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, one to another, —Let us appoint a head and let us go back towards Egypt.

5 Hichun Mose le Aaron chu Israel mite jouse masang tol lang ngan akun lha lhon tan ahi.

Then did Moses and Aaron fall upon their faces, —before all the convocation of the assembly 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.

But, Joshua son of Nun, and Caleb son of Jephunneh, of them who spied out the land, rent their clothes;

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 spake unto all the assembly of the sons of Israel, saying, —As for the land through which we passed to spy it out, Good, is the land, exceedingly,

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 Yahweh delight in us, then will he bring us into this land, and give it unto us, —A land which doth flow 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.

Only against Yahweh, do not rebel. Do not, ye, fear the people of the land, For our food, they are, —Their shade hath departed, from over them. And Yahweh is with us, Do not fear them!

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.

But when all the assembly bade stone them with stones, the glory of Yahweh, appeared, in the tent of meeting, unto 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.

Then said Yahweh unto Moses How long! must this people, despise me? And how long can they not believe in me. in view of all the signs which I have done in their midst?

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.

Let me smite them with pestilence, and disinherit them, —And make thee into a nation greater and more mighty than they!

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.

Then said Moses unto Yahweh, —So shall the Egyptians hear, For thou hast brought up. in thy might, this people out of their midst;

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 will tell it unto the inhabitants of this land: They have heard, That, thou, Yahweh, art in the midst of this people, —That eye to eye, is he seen—thou, Yahweh, And thy cloud, is standing over them, And in a pillar of cloud, thou thyself, art going on before them by day, And in a pillar 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,

As soon, therefore, as thou hast put to death this people as one man, so soon will the nations who have heard thy fame speak saying:

16 Pakaiyin Amaho chu a suhgam na ajeh chu atep peh na’u gamsung chu apui lhung jou tahlou jeh ahi ati diu ahi.

Because Yahweh, was not able, to bring in this people into the land which he had sworn unto them, therefore did he slay them in the desert.

17 Pakaiyin nangma boltheina natoh chu jom in vetsah kit in. Pakai nangma in kiphong doh kit inlang,

Now, therefore, I beseech thee let the might of My Lord, be magnified, —according as thou didst speak 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.

Yahweh—slow to anger and great in lovingkindness, Forgiving iniquity and transgression: Though he will not leave, wholly unpunished, Visiting the iniquity of fathers upon sons, Upon a third generation, and upon a fourth.

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.

Pardon I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people, According to the greatness of thy lovingkindness, —And according as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even thus far.

20 Hichun Mose chu Pathen in ahin houlim pitan nangma thusei dung juiyin ka ngaidam tai, ati.

And Yahweh said, I have pardoned according to thy word;

21 Tahbeh’a kasei ahi Keima hingjing Pathen chu kahi jeh in vannoi Leiset hi ka loupina dimset jing ding ahi.

Nevertheless as I live, —and that all the earth may be filled with the glory of Yahweh,

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.

Verily, none of the men who have been beholding my glory and my signs, which I have done in Egypt and in the desert, —and have put me to the proof these ten times, and have not hearkened unto 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.

shall see the land, which I sware to their fathers, —yea, none of my despisers, shall see 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.

But my servant Caleb—because there was another spirit with him, and he followed me fully, therefore will I bring him into the land whereinto he entered, and his seed, 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.

Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites, are dwelling in the valley, —to-morrow, turn ye away; and set yourselves forward towards the desert by the way of the Red Sea.

26 Hichun Pakaiyin Mose le Aaron henga hiti hin aseiyin ahi.

Then spake Yahweh unto Moses and unto 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, as regardeth this evil assembly, are they to be murmuring against me? The murmuring of the sons of Israel which, they, have been murmuring against me, have I heard,

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.

Say unto them: As I live, is the oracle of Yahweh: Surely as ye have spoken in mine ears, so, will I do unto 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 this desert, shall your dead bodies fall And none of you who were numbered in all your counting, from twenty years old and upwards, —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.

none of you, shall enter into the land, as to which I uplifted my hand to give you an abode therein, —save Caleb son of Jephunneh, and Joshua, 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.

whereas, your little ones, of whom ye said, they should become, a prey, I will bring them in, and they shall acknowledge the land which ye refused.

32 Amavang nangho jouse na thilong uchu hiche gamthip nelgam ahi kivui lhum ding ahi tai.

But, your own dead bodies, shall fall in this desert;

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.

and your sons, shall be shepherds in the desert forty years, and shall bear your unchastities, —until your dead bodies 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.

By the number of the days wherein ye spied out the land—forty days, each day for a year, shall they bear your iniquities—forty years, —so shall ye know my opposition.

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.

I—Yahweh, have spoken, Verily this, will I do to all this evil assembly, who have conspired against me, —In this desert, shall they be consumed And there, shall they die.

36 Pasal som ho lah’a Mose gam velhi dinga asol ho lah’a ami khat Pathen douna ana tong gopa chu ahi.

Now as for the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land, —who returned and caused all the assembly to murmur against him by giving out a rumour against the land,

37 Pathen henga amapa chu pul in athi tai.

they died—the men who gave out an evil rumour of the land, —by the plague, before Yahweh.

38 Gam kholchin lah’a pasal somle ni ahiuvin amaho lah achu Joshua le Caleb bou asoh cha uvin ahi.

But, Joshua son of Nun, and Caleb son of Jephunneh! remained alive—of those men who went to spy out 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 spake these words unto all the sons of Israel, and the people were greatly depressed.

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.

So they arose early in the morning, and went up into the top of the mountain, saying, —We are here—therefore will we go up into the place as to which Yahweh hath said that 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?

But Moses said, Wherefore is it that, ye, are going beyond the bidding of Yahweh, —since that cannot prosper?

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 go up, For Yahweh is not in your midst, —Lest ye be smitten down 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.

For, the Amalekites and the Canaanites, are there before you, So shall ye fall by the sword, —For inasmuch as ye have turned back from following Yahweh, Therefore will Yahweh not be 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 presumptuously ascended into the top of the mountain, —though, neither, the ark of the covenant of Yahweh nor Moses moved out of the midst of 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.

So ten the Amalekites and the Canaanites, that dwelt in that mountain, came down, —and smote them and routed them even unto Hormah.
