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.
And the sons of Israel, and the entire multitude, went into the desert of Sin, in the first month. And the people stayed at Kadesh. And Miriam died there, and she was buried in the same place.
2 Hiche muna chun Twidon ding aum tah lou jeh chun mipi ho chu Mose le Aaron dounan akiphin kit tauvin ahi.
And when the people were in need of water, they came together 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.
And as it turned into sedition, they said: “If only we had perished among our brothers in the sight of 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 led away the Church of the Lord, into the wilderness, so that both we and our cattle would die?
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 did you cause us to ascend from Egypt, and why have you led us into this most wretched place, which is not able to be sown, which does not produce figs, or vines, or pomegranates, and which, moreover, does not even have 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.
And Moses and Aaron, dismissing the multitude, entered the tabernacle of the covenant, and they fell prone on the ground, and they cried out to the Lord, and they said: “O Lord God, listen to the outcry of this people, and open for them, from your storehouse, a fountain of living water, so that, being satisfied, their murmuring may cease.” And the glory of the Lord appeared over them.
7 Chu in Pakaiyin Mose heng’a hiti hin aseijin ahi.
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
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 rod, and gather the people, you and your brother Aaron, and speak to the rock before them, and it shall bestow waters. And when you have brought forth water from the rock, the entire multitude and their cattle shall drink.”
9 Chuin Pakaiyin asei bang chun Mose’n jong atenggol chu alan song chu ajep jeng tan ahi.
Therefore, Moses took the rod, which was in the sight of the Lord, just as he had instructed him.
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.
And having gathered the multitude before the rock, he said to them: “Listen, you who are rebellious and unbelieving. Would we be able to cast out water from 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.
And when Moses had lifted up his hand, striking the stone twice with the rod, very great waters went forth, so much so that the people and their cattle 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.
And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not believe me, so as to sanctify me before the sons of Israel, you shall not lead this people into the land, which I will give to 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.
This is the Water of Contradiction, where the sons of Israel were quarreling against the Lord, and he was sanctified in 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.
Meanwhile, Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom. They said: “Your brother Israel says this: You know of all the hardships which have overtaken 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 descended into Egypt, and we lived there for a long time, and the Egyptians afflicted both 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 how we cried out to the Lord, and he heeded us and sent an Angel, who led us away from Egypt. Behold, we are situated in the city of Kadesh, which is at the extremity of your borders.
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.
And we beg you to permit us to cross through your land. We will not go through the fields, nor through the vineyards; we will not drink the waters of your wells, but we will travel by the public ways, neither turning aside to the right, nor to the left, until we have passed your borders.”
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.
Edom responded to them: “You shall not cross through me, otherwise, I will meet you armed.”
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.
And the sons of Israel said: “We will travel by the well-trodden path. And if we or our cattle drink from your waters, we will give you what is just. There shall be no difficulty in the price, only let us cross through quickly.”
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 he answered, “You shall not cross.” And immediately he went out to meet them with a countless multitude 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.
neither was he willing to agree to their petition to concede passage through his borders. For this reason, Israel diverted away from him.
22 Israel mipi chu Kadesh apat’nin aki nung le un Hor molsang chu ahin jon tauve.
And when they had moved the camp from Kadesh, they arrived at mount Hor, which is at the borders of the land of Edom,
23 Chuin Edom gam ning lam ah chun Pathen in Mose le Aaron ahoulim pitan ahi.
where the Lord spoke to Moses:
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.
“Let Aaron,” he said, “go to his people. For he shall not enter into the land which I have given to the sons of Israel, because he did not believe my mouth at the Waters of Contradiction.
25 Tun Aaron le Eleazer chu Hor molsang lam ah pui touvin, aum lhon tai.
Take Aaron, and his son with him, and lead them on to 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.
And when you have stripped the father of his vestments, you shall put them on Eleazar, his son. Aaron shall be gathered and shall 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.
Moses did just as the Lord had instructed. And they ascended mount Hor, in the sight of the entire multitude.
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.
And when he had despoiled Aaron of his vestments, he clothed his son Eleazar with them. And when Aaron had died at the top of the mountain, Moses came down with Eleazar.
29 Mipi chun Aaron thi chu aja tauvin Israel miten ni somthum jen alunghempi taovin ahi.
And the entire multitude, seeing that Aaron lay dead, wept over him for thirty days, throughout all their families.
