1 Hahoi teh, kamkhuengnaw pueng ni hote tangmin puenghoi a khuika awh.
All the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.
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 children of Israel [God prevails] murmured against Moses [Drawn out] and against Aaron [Light-bringer]. The whole congregation said to them, “We wish that we had died in the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], or that 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 does Adonai bring us to this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will be captured or killed! Wouldn’t it be better for us to teshuvah ·completely return· into Egypt [Abode of slavery]?”
4 Hahoi a kamkhueng awh teh kahrawikung rawi vaiteh, Izip ram vah ban awh sei telah ati awh.
They said to one another, “Let us make a captain, and let us teshuvah ·completely return· into Egypt [Abode of slavery].”
5 Mosi hoi Aron teh kamkhueng e Isarelnaw pueng e hmalah a tabo roi.
Then Moses [Drawn out] and Aaron [Light-bringer] fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel [God prevails].
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 [Yah Salvation] the son of Nun and Caleb [Dog] the son of Jephunneh, who were of those who 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.
They spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel [God prevails], saying, “The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceeding 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 Adonai delights in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it to us; a land which flows with milk and honey.
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 don’t rebel against Adonai, neither fear the people of the land; for they are bread for us. Their defense is removed from over them, and Adonai is with us. Don’t fear 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 all the congregation threatened to stone them with stones. The kavod Yahweh ·weighty glory of He sustains breathing· appeared in the Tent of Meeting to all the children of Israel [God prevails].
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.
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “How long will this people despise me? and how long will they not trust in me, for all the signs which I have worked 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 the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of you a nation greater and mightier than they.”
13 Mosi ni BAWIPA koevah hot teh Izipnaw ni thai langvaih. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hete tamihupui heh na thao e lahoi na tâcokhai e naw doeh.
Moses [Drawn out] said to Adonai, “Then the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] will sh'ma ·hear obey· it; for you brought up this people in your might 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.
They will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· that you Adonai are in the middle of this people; for you Adonai are seen face to face, and your cloud stands over them, and you go before them, in a pillar of cloud by day, and in 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,
Now if you killed this people as one man, then the nations which have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· the fame of you will speak, saying,
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 Adonai was not able to bring this people into the land which he swore to them, therefore he has slain 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,
Now please let the power of 'Adonay [Lord] be great, according as you have spoken, saying,
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.
‘Adonai is slow to anger, and abundant in chesed ·loving-kindness·, forgiving depravity (moral evil) and rebellious breach of relationship; and that will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the depravity (moral evil) of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the 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.
Please pardon the depravity (moral evil) of this people according to the greatness of your chesed ·loving-kindness·, and according as you have forgiven this people, from Egypt [Abode of slavery] even until now.”
20 Hat toteh, BAWIPA ni na lawk patetlah ka ngaithoum toe.
Adonai said, “I have pardoned according to your word:
21 Hatei, ka hring e patetlah BAWIPA bawilennae hoi talai heh muen a kawi han.
but in very deed, as I live, and as all the earth shall be filled with the kavod Yahweh ·weighty glory of He sustains breathing·;
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,
because all those men who have seen my glory, and my signs, which I worked in Egypt [Abode of slavery] and in the wilderness, yet have tempted me these ten times, and have not sh'ma ·heard obeyed· my voice;
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.
surely they shall not see the land which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any of those who despised me 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 my servant Caleb [Dog], because he had another spirit with him, and has followed me fully, him I will bring into the land into which he went. His offspring shall possess 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.
Since the Amalekite [Descendant of Man who licks up] and the Canaanite [Descendant of Humbled] dwell in the valley, tomorrow turn, and go into the wilderness by the way to the Sea of Suf [Reed Sea].”
26 BAWIPA ni, Mosi hoi Aron a pato teh,
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out] and to Aaron [Light-bringer], saying,
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 shall I bear with this evil congregation, that murmur against me? I have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· the murmurings of the children of Israel [God prevails], which they murmur 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.
Tell them, ‘As I live, says Adonai, surely as you have spoken in my ears, so will I do to you.
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 dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness; and all who were counted of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, who have murmured 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 you shall not come into the land, concerning which I swore that I would make you dwell therein, except Caleb [Dog] the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua [Yah Salvation] the 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 your little ones, that you said should be captured or killed, them I will bring in, and they shall know the land which you have rejected.
32 Hatei, nangmanaw teh na ronaw ramke dawk koung a kamlei han.
But as for you, your dead bodies shall 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 shall be wanderers in the wilderness forty years, and shall bear your prostitution, until your dead bodies are consumed 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.
After the number of the days in which you spied out the land, even forty days, for every day a year, you will bear your depravities (moral evils), even forty years, and you will know 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, Adonai, have spoken. I will surely do this to all this evil congregation, who are gathered together against me. In this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall 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,
The men, whom Moses [Drawn out] sent to spy out the land, who teshuvah ·completely returned·, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up an evil report against the land,
37 ram kong dawk kamthangmathout kaphawtnaw roeroe hah BAWIPA hmalah lacik hoi a due awh.
even those men who brought up an evil report of the land, died by the plague before Adonai.
38 Hatei, ram tuet han kacetnaw thung dawk Nun capa Joshua hoi Jephunneh capa Kalep teh a hring roi rah.
But Joshua [Yah Salvation] the son of Nun, and Caleb [Dog] the son of Jephunneh, remained alive of those men who went to spy out the land.
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.
Moses [Drawn out] told these words to all the children of Israel [God prevails], and the people mourned greatly.
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.
They rose up early in the morning, and went up to the top of the mountain, saying, “Behold, we are here, and will go up to the place which Adonai has promised: for we have sinned ·deviated (from the standard goal)·.”
41 Mosi ni, bangkongmaw BAWIPA kâpoelawk na ek awh, Bangkongtetpawiteh, hete ni kuepcing sak thai mahoeh toe.
Moses [Drawn out] said, “Why are you disobeying the order of Adonai? You shall not succeed!
42 Takhang awh hanh, telah hoehpawiteh, na tarannaw ni na tâ awh han, bangdawk nangmouh koe BAWIPA awm hoeh.
Don’t go up, for Adonai is not among you; that you not be struck down before your enemies.
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 Amalekite [Descendant of Man who licks up] and the Canaanite [Descendant of Humbled] are before you, and you shall fall by the sword, because you turned back from following Adonai, therefore Adonai 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 presumed to go up to the top of the mountain. Nevertheless, the ark of Adonai’s covenant and Moses [Drawn out] didn’t depart out of 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 [Descendants of Man who licks up] came down, and the Canaanites [Descendants of Humbled] who lived in that mountain, and struck them and beat them down, even to Hormah.
