Minbu 20
1 Hiche kum lha masa pen chun Israel mite Zin gamthip ahin jon tauvin Kadesh muna akichol do uvin, hikom muna akicholdo laitah un Miriam chu athi’n hiche muna chun avui tauve.
In the first month, the whole congregation of Israel entered the Wilderness of Zin and stayed in Kadesh. There Miriam died and was buried.
2 Hiche muna chun Twidon ding aum tah lou jeh chun mipi ho chu Mose le Aaron dounan akiphin kit tauvin ahi.
Now there was no water for the congregation, so they gathered against Moses and Aaron.
3 Mipi ho chun Mose themmo achan un, hitin asei tauvin gamthip lah achun Pathen masanga ka sopite ho toh ana thi khom taleu veng ka nom uve, atiuve.
The people quarreled with Moses and said, “If only we had perished with our brothers before the LORD!
4 Mose’n hiche Pathen chate mi hi jat hi gamthip golah’a athi chai kei ding’a keiho le ka gancha te’u neipuiyu ham, tin asei uve.
Why have you brought the LORD’s assembly into this wilderness for us and our livestock to die here?
5 Ipi dinga Egypt gamma kona chu nei hin pui doh uham hi tobang gam leiset chavei tah mun ahi atiuve. Hiche leiset gam pheng ahin agasoh jong aumpon, Olive thei, Kolbu thei chule lengpi thei chang jong umlou chu leh tui donding jong imacha aum poi tin asei un ahi.
Why have you led us up out of Egypt to bring us to this wretched place? It is not a place of grain, figs, vines, or pomegranates—and there is no water to drink!”
6 Mose le Aaron chu mipi holah akon in aki nunghei lhon tan, houbuh maicham jotna lamma chun ahin nai lhon tai, hichun amani chu tolgo lamma amai aphul lut lhon in chu in Pathen mailhaisel kidang tah chu amani heng lamah ahung kilang doh tai.
Then Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. They fell facedown, and the glory of the LORD appeared to them.
7 Chu in Pakaiyin Mose heng’a hiti hin aseijin ahi.
And the LORD said to Moses,
8 Nang le Aaron in na tenggol chu na choi lhon ding Israel mipi chu aboncha nakhop tup ding, mipi hon na um chan, na khan chan avet ding’u, songpi chu na thu’a na nunsah’a na koudoh tho ding ahi. Chu teng tui don ding hung put doh ding ahi. Nangman song chunga patna tui mipi te don ding kham na putdoh sah ding, mipi jouse chu na don va sah cheh diu ahi.
“Take the staff and assemble the congregation. You and your brother Aaron are to speak to the rock while they watch, and it will pour out its water. You will bring out water from the rock and provide drink for the congregation and their livestock.”
9 Chuin Pakaiyin asei bang chun Mose’n jong atenggol chu alan song chu ajep jeng tan ahi.
So Moses took the staff from the LORD’s presence, just as he had been commanded.
10 Hichun Mose le Aaron chun mipi chu songpi kom langa ding in akou lhon tan, Mose’n hitin asam tan, ngaijun sei ngailou milouchal ho ati tai. Songpi akonna hi tui kapot doh sah tei ding ahi tai tin asam in ahi.
Then Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly in front of the rock, and Moses said to them, “Listen now, you rebels, must we bring you water out of this rock?”
11 Mose’n akhotna tenggol chu adom sang in songpi chu nivei ajep khum tan ahileh tuijel chu ahung long doh tai. Hichun mipi jouse ahin gancha jouse’n jong adonva soh keitau vin ahi.
Then Moses raised his hand and struck the rock twice with his staff, so that a great amount of water gushed out, and the congregation and their livestock were able to drink.
12 Ahinlah Pathen in Mose le Aaron jah’a aseijin nangni’n nei tah san lhon hi alhing jou tapoi, Israel mipi hi ka themna na musah jou ta poi keiman ka tep pehnau gam leiset geija chu na puilut lou ding ahi tai, ati.
But the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not trust Me to show My holiness in the sight of the Israelites, you will not bring this assembly into the land that I have given them.”
13 Hiche mun hi Meribah akisah tan, ajeh chu Israel mite Pathen toh ana kinielkal un ahin hiche lai muntah ahin Pathen thenna chu a kilang doh deh in ahi.
These were the waters of Meribah, where the Israelites quarreled with the LORD, and He showed His holiness among them.
14 Mose’n kadesh a um laitah in Edom lengpa hiche thuchang hohi kahin seinom ahije nasopi Israel mitin hitobang nga gim genthei ka hin thoh u ahitai.
From Kadesh, Moses sent messengers to tell the king of Edom, “This is what your brother Israel says: You know all the hardship that has befallen us,
15 Ipateu Iputeu mi sagi phung lamkai ho Egypt gam lang nga ana kholjin un phat sottah jing jong ana khosa tauvin, pate puteho jouse Egypt miten ana suh gam tahval uchu tin aseiye.
how our fathers went down to Egypt, where we lived many years. The Egyptians mistreated us and our fathers,
16 Ahinlah keihon Pathen henglam kakou’un-ka mao-mao phat un Pakai, Pathen amatah tah’in eijah peh phat uva avantil eihin sol peh’uva Egypt a konna eihin pui doh’u ahi.
and when we cried out to the LORD, He heard our voice, sent an angel, and brought us out of Egypt. Now look, we are in Kadesh, a city on the edge of your territory.
17 Lungset tah in nagam sungah nei chensah un, keiho chingthei tah’a lam kajot diu mim le lengpi thei lah akapal lou diu ahi. Natui khuh uva twi jing jong kadon palou diu, keiho lengpa lamlen lang bou kache diu, mundang-achom lang kaho pa lou diu ahitai. Hichu nagam leiset kada lhah kah sungse uva ding ahi.
Please let us pass through your land. We will not cut through any field or vineyard, or drink water from any well. We will stay on the King’s Highway; we will not turn to the right or to the left until we have passed through your territory.”
18 Ahinlah Edom lengpan hitin adon but in asei tai, keima leiset gamsunga kon in kikhin doh un ahiloule keima galsat hotoh iki muto diu ahi, ati.
But Edom answered, “You may not travel through our land, or we will come out and confront you with the sword.”
19 Israelten hitin adonbut un keima ho se vang lamlen pamma che ding ka hiuve. Keiho ka bong, kakelcha teu le ganca dang dang ho tui donding aum tapon, hijeh chun nagam na leiset’u nei ho pah sah un, hiche bou chu kathum nom u ahi bouve tin aseiye.
“We will stay on the main road,” the Israelites replied, “and if we or our herds drink your water, we will pay for it. There will be no problem; only let us pass through on foot.”
20 Amavang Edom leng pan hitin ahin donbut tai. Kikhin doh un keima leiset gamsung na hopa thei lou diu ahi. Hiche ahou lim jou chun a galsat hotoh lam ajot nun Israel mite chu ano taovin ahi
But Edom insisted, “You may not pass through.” And they came out to confront the Israelites with a large army and a strong hand.
21 Edom in Israel te lam jot na ding phalna ahin peh tahlou jeh in a gam sung leiset’u hopa thei ahitah lou jeh in Israel mite nomphun a louthei lou va kinung le din ache tauve.
So Edom refused to allow Israel to pass through their territory, and Israel turned away from them.
22 Israel mipi chu Kadesh apat’nin aki nung le un Hor molsang chu ahin jon tauve.
After they had set out from Kadesh, the whole congregation of Israel came to Mount Hor.
23 Chuin Edom gam ning lam ah chun Pathen in Mose le Aaron ahoulim pitan ahi.
And at Mount Hor, near the border of the land of Edom, the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
24 Phat ahung chal bang in Aaron akicholdo phat apetai apute ho chu toh Aaron hi keiman katep peh nagam Israelte chenna ding kiti lhung lou chu Mose le Aaron’n in ka thuseina ngai lhonpon twi jeh in na phun lhon tai ati.
“Aaron will be gathered to his people; he will not enter the land that I have given the Israelites, because both of you rebelled against My command at the waters of Meribah.
25 Tun Aaron le Eleazer chu Hor molsang lam ah pui touvin, aum lhon tai.
Take Aaron and his son Eleazar and bring them up Mount Hor.
26 Hiche muna chu nangman Eleazer themgao von chu na sut lhah peh a Eleazer chapa chu na kiah sah ding ahi. Hilai muntah a chu Aaron chu thi den ding ahi tai.
Remove Aaron’s priestly garments and put them on his son Eleazar. Aaron will be gathered to his people and will die there.”
27 Hichun Mose’n Pathen in a seipeh bang tah chun abollin Amaho thumchu Hor molchung lam ah akal tou tauve. Israel mipi chun amaho umchan chu akhol chil kit nun ahi.
So Moses did as the LORD had commanded, and they climbed Mount Hor in the sight of the whole congregation.
28 Molchung ah chun Mose chun Aaron thempu von kang chu asut lhah peh in Eleazer le Aaron chapa chung ah chun akoi peh tai. Hilai munah chun Aaron chu athi den tan Mose le Eleazer chu ahung kinung le lhon tai.
After Moses had removed Aaron’s garments and put them on his son Eleazar, Aaron died there on top of the mountain. Then Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.
29 Mipi chun Aaron thi chu aja tauvin Israel miten ni somthum jen alunghempi taovin ahi.
When the whole congregation saw that Aaron had died, the entire house of Israel mourned for him thirty days.
