Milu Pareinae 14
1 Hahoi teh, kamkhuengnaw pueng ni hote tangmin puenghoi a khuika awh.
Then the whole congregation lifted up their voices and cried out, and that night the people wept.
2 Isarel catounnaw pueng Mosi hoi Aron koe a phuenang awh. Kamkhueng e tamimaya koevah, Izip ram vah dout awh ngala pawiteh, hoehpawiteh hete kahrawngum dout ngala pawiteh,
All the Israelites grumbled against Moses and Aaron, and the whole congregation said to them, “If only we had died in the land of Egypt, or if only we had died in this wilderness!
3 bangkongmaw, tahloi hoi thei vaiteh, yuca pueng taran kut dawk pha sak hanelah maw BAWIPA ni hete ram dawk na ceikhai. Izip ram bout ban pawiteh, maimouh han bet a hawihnawn nahoehmaw telah ati awh.
Why is the LORD bringing us into this land to fall by the sword? Our wives and children will become plunder. Would it not be better for us to go back to Egypt?”
4 Hahoi a kamkhueng awh teh kahrawikung rawi vaiteh, Izip ram vah ban awh sei telah ati awh.
So they said to one another, “Let us appoint a leader and return to Egypt.”
5 Mosi hoi Aron teh kamkhueng e Isarelnaw pueng e hmalah a tabo roi.
Then Moses and Aaron fell facedown before the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel.
6 Hateiteh, Nun capa Joshua hoi Jephunneh capa Kalep, ram katuetnaw thung dawk ka bawk roi van e ni a hni a phi roi teh,
Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes
7 kamkhueng e Isarelnaw pueng koe tuet hanelah ka cei sin awh e ram teh, kahawi poung tangngak e doeh.
and said to the whole congregation of Israel, “The land we passed through and explored is an exceedingly good land.
8 Maimouh koe BAWIPA a lunghawi pawiteh, ama ni na cetkhai awh vaiteh, khoitui hoi sanutui a lawngnae ram teh na poe han doeh.
If the LORD delights in us, He will bring us into this land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and He will give it to us.
9 BAWIPA taranlahoi taranthaw laipalah, hote ram dawk e tami taket laipalah, awm awh sei. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimouh teh maimae rawca lah doeh awm awh ti, ahnimanaw teh a kângue awh e awm hoeh. BAWIPA teh maimouh koe ao. Ahnimouh teh taket awh hanh sei telah ati roi.
Only do not rebel against the LORD, and do not be afraid of the people of the land, for they will be like bread for us. Their protection has been removed, and the LORD is with us. Do not be afraid of them!”
10 Hahoi ka kamkhueng e pueng ni talung hoi dêi han a noe awh. Hahoi BAWIPA bawilennae teh kamkhuengnae lukkareiim dawk hoi Isarelnaw pueng e hmalah a kamnue pouh.
But the whole congregation threatened to stone Joshua and Caleb. Then the glory of the LORD appeared to all the Israelites at the Tent of Meeting.
11 BAWIPA ni Mosi koevah hete taminaw pueng nâtotouh maw na pahnawt awh han. Ahnimouh koe mitnoutnae ka sak pouh ei teh, nâtotouh maw yuem laipalah ao awh han.
And the LORD said to Moses, “How long will this people treat Me with contempt? How long will they refuse to believe in Me, despite all the signs I have performed among them?
12 Lacik hoi ka yue vaiteh, be ka pahma ngala han. Nang dawkvah, ahnimouh hlak ka sungren e hoi hno ka tet thai e miphun ka kangdue sak han telah a ti.
I will strike them with a plague and destroy them—and I will make you into a nation greater and mightier than they are.”
13 Mosi ni BAWIPA koevah hot teh Izipnaw ni thai langvaih. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hete tamihupui heh na thao e lahoi na tâcokhai e naw doeh.
But Moses said to the LORD, “The Egyptians will hear of it, for by Your strength You brought this people from among them.
14 Hot teh hete ram taminaw koe a dei pou han. BAWIPA nang teh hete taminaw koevah na o teh, BAWIPA nang nama teh minhmai phek kadangka lah na hmu awh kanîthun tâmaikhom hoi karum lah hmaikhom hoi a hmalah na cei pouh tie a panue awh toe.
And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have already heard that You, O LORD, are in the midst of this people, that You, O LORD, have been seen face to face, that Your cloud stands over them, and that You go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night.
15 Hot patetlah hete tamimaya heh tami buet touh e patetlah na thei pawiteh, na min kamthang ka panuek e miphunnaw ni,
If You kill this people as one man, the nations who have heard of Your fame will say,
16 BAWIPA ni hete tamimayanaw heh thoebo hoi a kam e ram dawk a hrawi thai hoeh dawkvah, kahrawngum koung a thei telah a dei awh han.
‘Because the LORD was unable to bring this people into the land He swore to give them, He has slaughtered them in the wilderness.’
17 BAWIPA ni a lungsaw teh lungmanae hoi ka kawi e, payonnae hoi kâtapoenae ka ngaithoumkung yonpen e naw kayawicalah hloutsak laipalah,
So now I pray, may the power of my Lord be magnified, just as You have declared:
18 napanaw yonnae kecu dawk canaw, catounnaw se thum se pali totouh, ouk karekkung doeh na a telah na dei tangcoung e patetlah BAWIPA na hnosakthainae teh, hoe lentoe lawiseh.
‘The LORD is slow to anger and abounding in loving devotion, forgiving iniquity and transgression. Yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished; He will visit the iniquity of the fathers upon their children to the third and fourth generation.’
19 Na lungmanae a pap e patetlah hoi Izip ram hoi atu totouh na ngaithoum e patetlah na tamimaya e payonnae naw hah ngaithoum pouh haw telah ka ratoum.
Pardon, I pray, the iniquity of this people, in keeping with the greatness of Your loving devotion, just as You have forgiven them ever since they left Egypt.”
20 Hat toteh, BAWIPA ni na lawk patetlah ka ngaithoum toe.
“I have pardoned them as you requested,” the LORD replied.
21 Hatei, ka hring e patetlah BAWIPA bawilennae hoi talai heh muen a kawi han.
“Yet as surely as I live and as surely as the whole earth is filled with the glory of the LORD,
22 Izip ram hoi kahrawngum ka sak e naw bawilennae hoi kângairunae a hmuen teh, vai hra totouh na tanouk teh, ka lawk ka ngaihoeh e naw pueng ni,
not one of the men who have seen My glory and the signs I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness—yet have tested Me and disobeyed Me these ten times—
23 kakhekungnaw koe thoebo nalaihoi ka kam pouh e ram teh, hmawt awh roeroe mahoeh. Ahnimouh rahak ka lawk banglahai ka ngaihoehnaw ni hmawt mahoeh.
not one will ever see the land that I swore to give their fathers. None of those who have treated Me with contempt will see it.
24 Hatei, ka san Kalep, aloukcalah kaawm e muitha hah tawn teh, atangcalah ka hnuk a kâbang dawk, ahni teh a pâtam e ram koe ka hrawi vaiteh, a catounnaw ni a coe awh han.
But because My servant Caleb has a different spirit and has followed Me wholeheartedly, I will bring him into the land he has entered, and his descendants will inherit it.
25 Atuvah, Amaleknaw hoi Kanaan taminaw hah ayawn dawk ao awh. Tangtho vah ban awh nateh tuipui paling lam koelah hoi kahrawng dawk kâen awh telah a ti.
Now since the Amalekites and Canaanites are living in the valleys, turn back tomorrow and head for the wilderness along the route to the Red Sea.”
26 BAWIPA ni, Mosi hoi Aron a pato teh,
Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
27 hete kamkhueng e tamikathoutnaw e phuenangnae heh, nâtotouh maw ka ring han. Kai taranlahoi Isarel catounnaw lai a roe awh e ka thai.
“How long will this wicked congregation grumble against Me? I have heard the complaints that the Israelites are making against Me.
28 Ahnimouh koe ka hring e patetlah ka hnâthainae koe na dei awh e patetlah nangmouh lathueng ka sak han, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
So tell them: As surely as I live, declares the LORD, I will do to you exactly as I heard you say.
29 Nangmouh ni milu na parei awh teh na touk awh tangcoung e patetlah, kum 20 lathueng kai koe laikaroenaw pueng teh, hete kahrawngum vah ro lah a o awh han.
Your bodies will fall in this wilderness—all who were numbered in the census, everyone twenty years of age or older—because you have grumbled against Me.
30 Kai ni hete ram dawk na o sak awh awh han ka ti e ram dawkvah, Jephunneh capa Kalep hoi Nun capa Joshua laipateh api hai phat awh mahoeh.
Surely none of you will enter the land in which I swore to settle you, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.
31 Hatei, thei hanelah doeh ao awh, na tie na canaw hah ka kâen sak vaiteh, na ngai awh hoeh ram dawk kho a sak awh han.
But I will bring your children, whom you said would become plunder, into the land you have rejected—and they will enjoy it.
32 Hatei, nangmanaw teh na ronaw ramke dawk koung a kamlei han.
As for you, however, your bodies will fall in this wilderness.
33 Na capanaw hah kahrawngum vah kum 40 touh a kâva awh vaiteh, ramke dawk a ro hah a pawk awh hoehroukrak, namamouh na kâyo phu na phu awh han.
Your children will be shepherds in the wilderness for forty years, and they will suffer for your unfaithfulness until the last of your bodies lies in the wilderness.
34 Ram na tuetnae hnin 40 touh hah, hnin touh yueng lah kum touh telah to lahoi kum 40 touh thung kâtapoe phu na khang awh han. Ka noenae yo a kâthung toe tie na panue awh han.
In keeping with the forty days you spied out the land, you shall bear your guilt forty years—a year for each day—and you will experience My alienation.
35 Kai BAWIPA ni hete tamikathoutnaw kai taranlahoi kamkhueng e maya pueng koevah, hetheh ka sak roeroe han ka ti toe. Hete kahrawngum vah kahmakata vaiteh, hawvah a due awh han ati telah a dei tet pouh loe.
I, the LORD, have spoken, and I will surely do these things to this entire wicked congregation, which has conspired against Me. They will meet their end in the wilderness, and there they will die.”
36 Hottelah ram tuet hanlah Mosi ni a patoun teh ka ban awh e ram kong kamthang kathout lah ka pathang e naw, ama taranlahoi tamimaya lai ka roe sak e hoi,
So the men Moses had sent to spy out the land, who had returned and made the whole congregation grumble against him by bringing out a bad report about the land—
37 ram kong dawk kamthangmathout kaphawtnaw roeroe hah BAWIPA hmalah lacik hoi a due awh.
those men who had brought out the bad report about the land—were struck down by a plague before the LORD.
38 Hatei, ram tuet han kacetnaw thung dawk Nun capa Joshua hoi Jephunneh capa Kalep teh a hring roi rah.
Of those men who had gone to spy out the land, only Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh remained alive.
39 Hat toteh, Mosi ni hote lawk teh Isarelnaw pueng koevah a dei pouh teh, taminaw pueng ni a thai awh teh a lung koung a mathoe awh.
And when Moses relayed these words to all the Israelites, the people mourned bitterly.
40 Hottelah amom vah a thaw teh, monsom vah a luen. Khenhaw, ka tho toe. BAWIPA ni na kam pouh e koelah ka cei han. Bangkong, ka payon toe telah a ti.
Early the next morning they got up and went up toward the ridge of the hill country. “We have indeed sinned,” they said, “but we will go to the place the LORD has promised.”
41 Mosi ni, bangkongmaw BAWIPA kâpoelawk na ek awh, Bangkongtetpawiteh, hete ni kuepcing sak thai mahoeh toe.
But Moses said, “Why are you transgressing the commandment of the LORD? This will not succeed!
42 Takhang awh hanh, telah hoehpawiteh, na tarannaw ni na tâ awh han, bangdawk nangmouh koe BAWIPA awm hoeh.
Do not go up, lest you be struck down by your enemies, because the LORD is not among you.
43 Nangmouh hmalah Ameleknaw hoi Kanaannaw a o, tahloi hoi be na thet awh langvaih. BAWIPA teh na kamlang takhai dawkvah nangmouh koe BAWIPA awm hoeh telah a ti.
For there the Amalekites and Canaanites will face you, and you will fall by the sword. Because you have turned away from the LORD, He will not be with you.”
44 Hatei, monsom cei han pou a kâcai awh. Hatei BAWIPA lawkkam thingkong hoi Mosi hai rim dawk hoi tâcawt hoeh.
But they dared to go up to the ridge of the hill country, though neither Moses nor the ark of the covenant of the LORD moved from the camp.
45 Hottelah hot mon dawk kaawmnaw Ameleknaw hoi Kanaannaw hah a cathuk awh teh, a tuk awh. Hormah totouh a pâlei awh.
Then the Amalekites and Canaanites who lived in that part of the hill country came down, attacked them, and routed them all the way to Hormah.
