Milu Pareinae 10
1 BAWIPA ni Mosi hah a pato teh,
Yahweh also told Moses/me,
2 ngun mongka kahni touh, dêi lah dêi nateh sak loe. Tamimaya kawnae hoi tâcosak nahanlah na hno han.
“[Tell someone to] make two trumpets by hammering each one from [one lump of] silver. Blow the trumpets to summon the people to come together and also to signal that they must move their tents [to a new location].
3 Kahni touh hoi na ueng navah, taminaw teh kamkhuengnae lukkareiim takhang koe a kamkhueng awh han.
If both trumpets are blown, it means that everyone must gather together at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
4 Hatei, buet touh dueng na ueng pawiteh, Isarel catoun kahrawikung a hu buet touh dawk kacuenaw hah nang koe a kamkhueng awh han.
If only one trumpet is blown, it means that only the [twelve] leaders of the tribes must gather together.
5 Kâhruetcuetnae na ueng pawiteh, Kanîtholae naw ni a kamthaw awh han.
If the trumpets are blown loudly, the tribes that are to the east [of the Sacred Tent] should start to travel.
6 Hahoi kâhruetcuetnae apâhni na ueng toteh, akalae naw ni a roenae koehoi a kamthaw awh han. A kamthaw awh nahanelah, kâhruetcuetnae pou na ueng pouh han.
When the trumpets are blown loudly the second time, the tribes that are to the south should start to travel. The loud blasts on the trumpet will signal that they should start to travel.
7 Maya a kamkhueng nahanelah, hmaloe na ueng awh han. Hatei kâhruetcuetnae teh na ueng mahoeh.
When you want only to gather the people together, blow the trumpets, but do not blow them as loudly.
8 Aron e canaw, vaihmanaw ni mongka teh a ueng awh han. Hete hno heh nangmae se yunglam, yungyoe hanelah phunglam lah ao han.
“The priests who are descended from Aaron are the ones who should blow the trumpets. That is a regulation that will never be changed.
9 Na ram dawk namamouh rep kacuengroekung, na taran tuk hanlah na cei navah, kâhruetcuetnae ueng lah na ueng awh han. Hottelah BAWIPA Cathut hmalah, pou na panue e lah pou awm vaiteh, na tarannaw thung hoi rungngang e lah ao han.
When you fight against enemies who attack you in your own land, tell the priests to blow the trumpets loudly. I, Yahweh, your God, will hear that, and I will rescue you from your enemies.
10 Na lunghawinae hnin thoseh, pawi e tueng dawk thoseh, thapareinae dawk thoseh, hmaisawi thuengnae hoi roum thuengnae thoseh, mongka na ueng awh han. Hot patetlah na Cathut hmalah nangmouh han pahnimhoehnae lah ao han. Kai teh Jehovah na Cathut lah ka o telah atipouh.
Also tell the priests to blow the trumpets when the people are happy, and at the festivals [each year], and at the times when they celebrate the new moon each month. Tell them to blow the trumpets when the people bring offerings that will be completely burned, and when they bring offerings to maintain fellowship with me. If they do that, it will help you to remember that I, Yahweh your God, [will help you].”
11 Hahoi a kum hni, thapa yung pahni, hote thapa 20 hnin teh, lawkpanuesaknae lukkareiim koehoi tâmai hah kahlun lah a kâtawm.
On the twentieth day of May in the second year [after the/we Israelis left Egypt], the cloud rose up from above the Sacred Tent.
12 Hahoi hmalah pâtam hoi Sinai kahrawng koehoi Isarelnaw teh a kamthaw. Hahoi Paran ram kahrawng dawk tâmai teh a kangdue.
So we/the Israelis traveled from the Sinai Desert, and we/they continued traveling [north] until the cloud stopped in the Paran Desert.
13 Mosi hno lahoi BAWIPA kâpoe e patetlah avai pasuek a kamthaw awh.
That was the first time we/they moved, obeying the instructions that Yahweh had given to Moses/me to tell them.

29 Mosi e a napu Midian tami Reuel capa Hobab koevah, Mosi ni nang koe na poe han telah BAWIPA ni ati e hmuen koevah, cei han a kâcai awh teh, kaimouh koe tho van leih, kahawicalah na tak dawk ka sak han, bangdawk tetpawiteh, Isarel koevah, BAWIPA ni hnokahawi a kam toe atipouh.
One day Moses/I said to his/my brother-in-law Hobab, the son of Reuel from the Midian people-group, “We are on the way to the place that Yahweh promised to give to us. Come with us, and we will take good care of you, because Yahweh has promised [to do] good things for us Israeli people.”
30 Ahnimouh ni nangmouh koe ka cet mahoeh. Kamamouh e ram hmaunawngha koe doeh ka cei awh han atipouh awh.
But Hobab replied, “No, I will not go with you. I want to return to my own land and to my own family.”
31 Hahoi teh Mosi ni hrumhram na cettakhai awh hanh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kahrawngum roe nahan hmuen sak hane koe vah, na panue e patetlah hoi, na panue e yit touh kaimouh hanlah, mit lah doeh na awm awh ti.
But Moses/I said, “Please do not leave us. You know the places where we can set up our tents in this desert, and you can guide us.
32 Kaimouh koe na cet awh pawiteh BAWIPA ni hnokahawi na sak pouh e patetlah na sak pouh van han atipouh.
Come with us. We will share with you all the good things that Yahweh gives to us.”
33 Hahoi teh, BAWIPA e mon koehoi hnin thum lamcei dawk a cei awh. Ahnimouh han kâhatnae hmuen tawng hanlah BAWIPA lawkkam thingkong hah hnin thum touh thung a hmalah a cei pouh.
[So Hobab agreed to go with them]. The Israelis left Sinai Mountain, [which they called] Yahweh’s Mountain, and they walked for three days. The [men carrying the] sacred chest went in front of the other people for those three days, and they kept looking for a place to set up their tents.
34 Rim koehoi a kamthaw awh toteh, kanîthun BAWIPA e tâmai ahnimouh lathueng vah ao.
The cloud sent by Yahweh was over them every day.
35 Hahoi thingkong a tâco nah tangkuem vah, Mosi ni oe, BAWIPA kang dout haw. Na taran hah kâkahei awh naseh. Na kahmuhmanaw hah na hmalah yawng awh naseh, telah ouk ati.
Each morning when the men who were carrying the sacred chest started to walk, Moses/I said, “Yahweh, arise! Scatter your enemies! Cause those who hate you to run away from you!”
36 Hahoi, thingkong a kâhat nah tangkuem vah, Oe BAWIPA, Isarelnaw a thongsang koe, kamlang haw telah ouk atipouh.
And each time the men [stopped to] set down the sacred chest, Moses/I said, “Yahweh, stay close to the thousands of us Israelis!”
