Milu Pareinae 11
1 Tamimaya a phuenang awh toteh, BAWIPA lunghawinae awmhoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hote hah BAWIPA ni a thai toteh, a lungkhuek teh a lungkâan. Hat torei teh BAWIPA e hmai hah ahnimouh rahak vah paluk a to pouh teh, roenae hmuen alawilah, a tangawn koung a kak pouh.
Meanwhile, there arose a murmur among the people against the Lord, as if they were grief-stricken because of their labors. And when the Lord had heard it, he was angry. And when the fire of the Lord was enflamed against them, it devoured those who were at the extreme end of the camp.
2 Hahoi teh, tamimaya ni Mosi koe a hram awh teh, Mosi ni BAWIPA koe a ratoum teh, hmai teh bout a roum.
And when the people had cried out to Moses, Moses prayed to the Lord, and the fire was consumed.
3 BAWIPA e hmai hah ahnimouh rahak vah paluk a to pouh dawkvah, hote hmuen teh Taberah ati awh.
And he called the name of that place, ‘The Burning,’ because the fire of the Lord had burned against them.
4 Hahoi ahnimouh rahak vah, mak kâkalawt e maya koehoi, takthai ngai awh e hah a tâco. Isarel canaw hai bout a khuika awh teh, apinimaw ca hane moi na poe awh han.
So then, the mix of common people, who had ascended with them, were enflamed with desire, and sitting and weeping, with the sons of Israel joining them, they said, “Who will give us flesh to eat?
5 Aphu laipalah hoi Izip ram vah tanga moi canae hah ka pahnim thai awh hoeh. Payin paw hoi angkem paw, rasonpaling, rasonpangaw, ankahringnaw hah ka rabuipoung awh toe.
We remember the fish that we ate freely in Egypt; we call to mind the cucumbers, and melons, and leeks, and onions, and garlic.
6 Atuteh ka rakhing koung a ke awh toe, Manna laipalah hoi banghai ka mit ni hmawt awh hoeh toe telah ati awh.
Our life is dry; our eyes look out to see nothing but manna.”
7 Manna teh songsuen mu patetlah a o, arong teh badellium patetlah ao.
Now the manna was like coriander seed, but with the color of bdellium.
8 Taminaw ni a racawng awh teh, a roe awhnae koe a phawm awh teh, hlaam dawk a thawng awh, vaiyei lah a sak awh, a ca awh toteh satui hoi karê e patetlah ao.
And the people wandered about, gathering it, and they crushed it with a millstone, or ground it with a mortar; then they boiled it in a pot, and made biscuits out of it, with a taste like bread made with oil.
9 Tangminlah a roenae rim koe tadamtui a bo toteh manna hai ouk a bo van.
And when the dew descended in the night over the camp, the manna descended together with it.
10 Taminaw pueng teh imthung lahoi roenae rim takhang koe a ka awh tie Mosi ni a thai. Hahoi BAWIPA lungphuennae teh puenghoi a kâan teh, Mosi hai a lunghawi hoeh.
And so, Moses heard the people weeping by their families, each one at the door of his tent. And the fury of the Lord was greatly enflamed. And to Moses also the matter seemed intolerable.
11 Hot patetlah Mosi ni BAWIPA koe bangkongmaw na san heh runae na poe, bangkongmaw, na mitkhetcawp hoeh e maw, hete maya hnokarinaw heh kai ka van na patue.
And so he said to the Lord: “Why have you afflicted your servant? Why do I not find favor before you? And why have you imposed the weight of this entire people upon me?
12 Hete taminaw kai ni ka vawn e namaw. A na mintoenaw koe thoebonae ram koe ceikhai hanlah, camo kakhenaw ni sanu ka net lahun a tawm e patetlah na lungtabue dawk tawm awh na ti hanelah ka khe e na ma.
Could I have conceived this entire multitude, or have given birth to them, so that you might say to me: Carry them in your bosom, as a nursemaid usually carries a little infant, and bring them into the land, about which you have sworn to their fathers?
13 Hete taminaw na poe hane moi teh nâhoi maw ka la han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka ca hane moi hah na poe telah khuika laihoi na cusin awh toe.
From where would I obtain the flesh to give to so great a multitude? They weep against me, saying, ‘Give us flesh, so that we may eat.’
14 Hete taminaw pueng hah, kai kamadueng teh ka phawt thai hoeh toe. Kai hanlah a ri poung
I alone am unable to sustain this entire people, because it is too heavy for me.
15 Het patet e na sak hane pawiteh, na pahren nateh na thei leih, ka rei na thaisak hanh leih telah a ti.
But if it seems to you otherwise, I beg you to put me to death, and so may I find grace in your eyes, lest I be afflicted with such evils.”
16 BAWIPA ni Mosi koevah, Isarel kacuenaw, maya thung dawk kacuenaw hoi bet a lungkaha lah na panue e naw tami 70 touh pâkhueng nateh, kai koe kamkhuengnae koe lukkareiim dawk nang koe a ka due thai nahan thokhai loe.
And the Lord said to Moses: “Gather to me seventy men from the elders of Israel, whom you know to be elders, as well as teachers, of the people. And you shall lead them to the door of the tabernacle of the covenant, and you shall cause them to stand there with you,
17 Hattorei haw vah tho vaiteh na pato han. Na tak dawk kaawm e muitha hah ka la vaiteh ahnimouh lathueng ka hruek han. Nang dueng ni phawt laipalah, maya e hmuenri hah ahnimouh ni na phu khai han.
so that I may descend and speak to you. And I will take from your spirit, and I will deliver it to them, so that, with you, they may sustain the burden of the people, and so that you will not be weighed down alone.
18 Nang ni tamimaya koe tangtho hanelah kamthoung awh nateh, moi teh na ca awh han. Moi na ca awh hane apinimaw na poe awh han, bangtelamaw Izip ram vah phu ka nep lah ka o teh telah BAWIPA hnâthainae koe na ka awh vaw. Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ni moi na poe awh vaiteh na ca awh han.
You shall also say to the people: Be sanctified. Tomorrow you will eat flesh. For I have heard you say: ‘Who will give us flesh to eat? It was well with us in Egypt.’ So then, may the Lord give you flesh. And you will eat,
19 Hnin touh hnin hni touh laipalah, apanga hnin hra touh laipalah, hnin 20 touh laipalah,
not for one day, nor for two, nor for five, nor for ten, nor even for twenty,
20 thapa yung touh thung hmawtcei hoi palopalai nunnun a tho toteh, na ca awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nama koe kaawmnaw ni BAWIPA na dudam awh, Bangkongmaw Izip ram hoi kaimanaw na tâcokhai telah a hmalah, na ka awh telah tet pouh ati telah a ati.
but for up to a month of days, until it exits from your nostrils, and until it turns into nausea for you, because you have slipped away from the Lord, who is in your midst, and because you have wept before him, saying: ‘Why did we go forth out of Egypt?’”
21 Mosi ni kai koe kaawm e khok hoi kacetnaw ting taruk touh a pha teh, thapa yung touh ca hane moi ka poe han telah na ti.
And Moses said: “There are six hundred thousand footmen of this people, and yet you say, ‘I will give them flesh to eat for a whole month.’
22 Tuhu hoi maitohu naw hai thet pouh haw a boum awh han vaimoe. Talî dawk e tanganaw pueng man pouh nakunghai a boum awh han vaimoe telah a ti.
Could a multitude of sheep and oxen be slain, so that there would be enough food? Or will the fishes of the sea be gathered together, in order to satisfy them?”
23 BAWIPA ni Mosi koevah, BAWIPA e kut teh a duem maw. Ka dei e hah nang koe a kuep hoi kuep hoeh e na panue han doeh telah a ti.
And the Lord answered him: “Can the hand of the Lord be ineffective? Soon now, you shall see whether my word will be fulfilled in this work.”
24 Hahoi Mosi a tâco teh, BAWIPA lawk hah taminaw pueng koe a dei pouh. Tamihu kacuenaw 70 touh hah a kaw teh, lukkareiim petkâkalup lah a kangdue sak
And so, Moses went and explained the words of the Lord to the people. Gathering together seventy men from the elders of Israel, he caused them to stand around the tabernacle.
25 Hahoi BAWIPA teh tâmai dawk a kum teh a pato. Ahni koe kaawm e muitha hah kacuenaw 70 touh lathueng vah a ta. Ahnimouh tak dawk muitha a pha teh, Lawk a pâpho awh. Hot patetlah ouk sak awh boihoeh ei nan toung mah.
And the Lord descended in a cloud, and he spoke to him, taking from the Spirit which was in Moses, and giving to the seventy men. And when the Spirit had rested in them, they prophesied; nor did they cease afterwards.
26 Hatei, roenae hmuen koe tami kahni touh pou ao. Buet touh e a min teh Eldad doeh. Alouk buet touh e min teh Medad doeh, Muitha hah ahnimouh koe ao. Touk e naw dawk ka bawk awh e eiteh, kamkhuengnae lukkareiim koe cet vah hoeh. Roenae hmuen koe lawk hah a pâpho roi.
Now there had remained in the camp two of the men, of whom one was called Eldad, and the other Medad, upon whom the Spirit rested; for they also had been enrolled, but they did not go forth to the tabernacle.
27 Hahoi thoundoun buet touh a yawng teh Mosi koe a dei pouh teh, Eldad hoi Medad ni lawk teh pâpho lahun telah atipouh.
And when they were prophesying in the camp, a boy ran and reported to Moses, saying: “Eldad and Medad prophesy in the camp.”
28 Nun capa Joshua a nawsai lahoi yah. Mosi thaw ka tawk pouh e ni a pathung teh, ka bawipa Mosi ahnimouh hah ngang haw ati pouh.
Promptly, Joshua the son of Nun, the minister of Moses and chosen from many, said: “My lord Moses, prohibit them.”
29 Mosi ni ahni koe, kai na dipma e na ou. BAWIPA ni taminaw pueng heh profet lah koung awm naseh, BAWIPA ni ahnimouh lathueng muitha hah ahnimouh van tat pouh naseh ka tie nahoehmaw.
But he said, “Why are you jealous on my behalf? Who decides that any of the people may prophesy and that God may give to them his Spirit?”
30 Hahoi Mosi teh ama hoi Isarel a lungkahanaw hoi roenae hmuen koe a ban awh.
And Moses returned, with those greater by birth of Israel, into the camp.
31 Hahoi BAWIPA koehoi kahlî a tho teh, talî koe lahoi tamuem hrut a palek pouh teh roenae rim avangvanglah hoi hnin touh lamcei reira dawk dong hni touh ka rasang lahoi a pabo pouh.
Then a wind, going out from the Lord and moving forcefully across the sea, brought quails and cast them into the camp, across a distance of one day’s journey, in every part of the camp all around, and they flew in the air two cubits high above the ground.
32 Hot patetlah tamimaya ni karum tuettuet kanîruirui a tangtho kanîruirui tamuem teh a racawng awh. Kayounpoung ka racawng e ni hai Homer 10 touh a racawng awh (homer teh ephah hra touh, 220 liters a cawng). Rim pueng koe amamouh hane lengkaleng a vaw awh.
Therefore, the people, rising up, gathered quails all that day and night, and the next day; he who did least well gathered ten homers. And they dried them throughout the camp.
33 Hatei moi teh a la awh lahun nah, be a ca awh hoehnahlan tamimaya lathueng BAWIPA e lungkhueknae a kâan teh, tamimaya koe takikatho poung e lacik hoi BAWIPA ni a rek awh.
The flesh was still between their teeth, neither had this kind of food ceased, and behold, the fury of the Lord was provoked against the people, and he struck them with an exceedingly great scourge.
34 Hote hmuen teh a min Kiborthhattaavah telah ati. Bangkongtetpawiteh, haw vah, takthaingainae katawnnaw hah a pakawp awh.
And that place was called, ‘The Graves of Lust.’ For there, they buried the people who had desired.
35 Kiborthhattaavah koehoi tamihupui teh Hazeroth lah a pâtam awh teh Hazeroth a roe awh.
Then, departing from the Graves of Lust, they arrived in Hazeroth, and they stayed there.
