Minbu 17
1 Chuin PakaiyinMose henga hiti hin aseijin ahi.
The Lord told Moses,
2 Israel mipi henga seijin, Amahon Tenggol somleni hin kisem uhen, Insung leh a phungkai cheh uvin khat cheh kisem uhenlang, aphung lamkai mincheh hin kisut sohkei uhen,
“Tell the Israelites to bring twelve walking sticks, one from the leader of each tribe. Write the name of each man on the walking stick,
3 Phung lamkai khat min cheh chu kijih lut ding ahijeh'in, Aaron min chu Levite phung lamkai ding chun sun in,
and write Aaron's name on the walking stick of the tribe of Levi, because there has to be a walking stick for the head of each tribe.
4 Hiche tenggol hohi nangman nakoi tup ding houbuh masanga kimutona muna keima toh iki mutoh ji ding ahi.
Place the walking sticks in the Tent of Meeting in front of the Testimony where I meet with you.
5 Hiche thingpeh ka lhen doh chunga chu hung pahdoh ding koija ahi het theina ding hiche tengle keiman achaina natoh kahin nei ding nangma chunga kipah thei lou lung lhai lou na tong ho chung hi ding ahi.
The walking stick that belongs to the man I choose will sprout buds, and I will put a stop to the Israelites' constant complaints against you.”
6 Hichun Mose’n Israel mipi chu hilgahna aneiyin chule Israel phungsom le ni lamkai ho jouse jong chu Aaron tenggol thingpeh jong chu ahin choiyun ahi.
Moses explained this to the Israelites, and each of their leaders gave him a walking stick, one for each of the leaders of their tribes. So there were twelve walking sticks including the one belonging to Aaron.
7 Mose’n hiche tenggol ho sese chu Pathen houbuh leitol Pathen um pettah in akoi lhah soh hel in houbuh het jing na ahi.
Moses placed the walking sticks before the Lord in the Tent of the Testimony.
8 Hichun Mose chu ajing in houbuh sung’a chun aga lut in ahileh Levite insung thakhel dia kikoi Aaron tenggol chu ana dondoh in, amum aum in, apahlhah jouvin, aga chu Almond ahin, ana min kit tai.
The next day Moses went into the Tent of the Testimony and saw that Aaron's walking stick that represented the tribe of Levi, had sprouted and developed buds, flowered and produced almonds.
9 Hichun Mose’n Tenggol jouse chu Pathen masang nga ahin choi doh cheh in, aman hiche ho jouse chu mipi hochu avetsah soh keiye. Mi jousen ama ama phungkhai Tenggol vchu akilah cheh uvin ahi.
Moses took all the walking sticks from the presence of the Lord and showed them to all the Israelites. They saw them, and each man collected his own walking stick.
10 Hichun Pathen in Mose ahin houlimpi’n: Aaron Tenggol chu Kitepna Thingkong chung’a chu a-itih’a na tun jing ding ahi, Hiche chu miphalou ho hilna a pang’a, Pathen douna’a akiphin’u ajom ngam tahlou nadiu leh a thilham jina’u akon ahuidoh na diuva, hettohsah a pang jing ding ahi.
The Lord told Moses, “Put Aaron's walking stick back in front of the Testimony, to be kept there as a reminder to warn anyone who wants to rebel, so that you may stop their complaining against me. Otherwise they'll die.”
11 Mose’n jong Pathen in ahil bang bang chun aboltan ahi.
Moses did what the Lord ordered him to do.
12 Israel mipiten Mose komma hitin asei uvin: Keiho pihi among thah ding bep’a um kahi tauve. Keiho athisa kahi tauve, kei ho akichai gam ding kahi tauve.
Then the Israelites came and told Moses, “Can't you see we're all going to die? We'll be destroyed! We're all going to be killed!
13 Ajeh chu Pathen maicham nailut jouse a hiti thi thuthu jeng pihi ati tauve.
Anyone who dares to approach the Tabernacle of the Lord will die. Are we all going to be completely wiped out?”
