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.

So the people of Israel, the whole community, went into the wilderness of Zin in the first month; they stayed at 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.

There was no water for the community, so they assembled 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.

The people complained against Moses. They said, “It would have been better if we had died when our fellow Israelites died in front of Yahweh!

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 Yahweh's community into this wilderness to die here, we and our animals?

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 make us come up out of Egypt to bring us to this horrible place? Here there is no seed, 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.

So Moses and Aaron went away from in front of the assembly. They went to the entrance of the tent of meeting and lay facedown. There Yahweh's brilliant glory appeared to them.

7 Chu in Pakaiyin Mose heng’a hiti hin aseijin ahi.

Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,

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 community, you, and Aaron your brother. Speak to the rock before their eyes, and command it to flow with water. You will produce water for them out of that rock, and you must give it to the community and their cattle to drink.”

9 Chuin Pakaiyin asei bang chun Mose’n jong atenggol chu alan song chu ajep jeng tan ahi.

Moses took the staff from before Yahweh, as Yahweh had commanded him to do.

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 together before the rock. Moses said to them, “Listen now, you rebels. Must we bring water out of this rock for you?”

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, and much water came out. The community drank, and their cattle drank.

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.

Then Yahweh said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not trust me or honor me as holy in the eyes of the people of Israel, you will not bring this assembly into the land 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.

This place was called the waters of Meribah because the people of Israel had quarreled with Yahweh there, and he showed himself to them as holy.

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.

Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom: Your brother Israel says this: “You know all the difficulties that have happened to 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.

You know that our ancestors went down to Egypt and lived in Egypt a long time. The Egyptians treated us harshly and also our ancestors.

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.

When we called out to Yahweh, he heard our voice and sent an angel and brought us out of Egypt. Look, we are in Kadesh, a city on the border of your land.

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.

I am asking you to let us pass through your land. We will not pass through field or vineyard, nor will we drink the water in your wells. We will go along the king's highway. We will not turn aside to the right hand or to the left until we have passed your border.”

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 the king of Edom replied to him, “You may not pass through here. If you do, I will come with the sword to attack you.”

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.

Then the people of Israel said to him, “We will go along the highway. If we or our livestock drink your water, we will pay for it. Just let us walk through on foot, without doing anything else.”

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 the king of Edom replied, “You may not pass through.” So the king of Edom came against Israel with a strong hand with many soldiers.

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.

The king of Edom refused to allow Israel to cross over their border. Because of this, Israel turned away from the land of Edom.

22 Israel mipi chu Kadesh apat’nin aki nung le un Hor molsang chu ahin jon tauve.

So the people journeyed from Kadesh. The people of Israel, the whole community, came to Mount Hor.

23 Chuin Edom gam ning lam ah chun Pathen in Mose le Aaron ahoulim pitan ahi.

Yahweh spoke to Moses and Aaron at Mount Hor, on Edom's border. He said,

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 must be gathered to his people, for he will not enter the land that I have given to the people of Israel. This is because you both rebelled against my word at the waters of Meribah.

25 Tun Aaron le Eleazer chu Hor molsang lam ah pui touvin, aum lhon tai.

Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up 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.

Take Aaron's priestly garments off him and put them on Eleazar his son. Aaron must die and be gathered to his people 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 as Yahweh commanded. They went up Mount Hor in the sight of all the community.

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.

Moses took Aaron's priestly garments off him and put them on Eleazar his son. Aaron died there on the top of the mountain. Then Moses and Eleazar came down.

29 Mipi chun Aaron thi chu aja tauvin Israel miten ni somthum jen alunghempi taovin ahi.

When all the community saw that Aaron was dead, the entire nation wept for Aaron for thirty days.
