< Numbers 11 >

1 Soon the people began to complain about their hardship in the hearing of the LORD, and when He heard them, His anger was kindled, and fire from the LORD blazed among them and consumed the outskirts of the camp.
Pilnam te BOEIPA hna ah a thae la kohuet uh tih BOEIPA loh a yaak vaengah a thintoek te sai. Te dongah BOEIPA hmai loh amih taengah a dom tih rhaehhmuen a bawtnah te a hlawp.
2 And the people cried out to Moses, and he prayed to the LORD, and the fire died down.
Te vaengah pilnamte Moses taengah pang tih Moseste BOEIPA taengaha thangthui daengah hmai khaw duek.
3 So that place was called Taberah, because the fire of the LORD had burned among them.
BOEIPA kah hmai loh amih tea dom dongah te kah hmuen mingte Taberahlaa khue.
4 Meanwhile, the rabble among them had a strong craving for other food, and again the Israelites wept and said, “Who will feed us meat?
Amih khui ah aka boihlum kah hoehhamnah te a ngaidam uh. Te vaengah Israel carhoek khaw mael uh tiha rhah neh, “U long nim mamih maeh n'cah ve?
5 We remember the fish we ate freely in Egypt, along with the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions, and garlic.
Egypt ah nga n'caak te n'ngai uh coeng. Yilpuet yiltang neh anthing khaw, rhasawn ling neh rhasawn bok tah a hoeihae mai la.
6 But now our appetite is gone; there is nothing to see but this manna!”
Tedae mamih kah hinglu tah rhae coeng tih mamih mikhmuh kah manna pawt atah a cungkuem he om voel pawh.
7 Now the manna resembled coriander seed, and its appearance was like that of gum resin.
Manna khaw mah sungsin muu bangla, a mik khaw thingpi mik bangla om.
8 The people walked around and gathered it, ground it on a handmill or crushed it in a mortar, then boiled it in a cooking pot or shaped it into cakes. It tasted like pastry baked with fine oil.
Pilnam loh van tih a yoep uh. Kuelhsum dongah a kuelh uh, sumngol dongah a daeng uh, am dongah a thong uh. Te te buh la a khueh uh tih a tuihlim khaw, situi hlantui kah a tuihlim bangla om.
9 When the dew fell on the camp at night, the manna would fall with it.
Rhaehhmuen ah buemtui a bo hatah khoyin ah te nen te manna tla,” a ti uh.
10 Then Moses heard the people of family after family weeping at the entrances to their tents, and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly, and Moses was also displeased.
Pilnam loh a cako neh, a dap thohka ah hlang a rhah te Moses loh a yaak. Te dongah BOEIPA kah thintoek te sai khungdaeng tih Moses mikhmuh ah thae.
11 So Moses asked the LORD, “Why have You brought this trouble on Your servant? Why have I not found favor in Your sight, that You have laid upon me the burden of all these people?
Te vaengah Moses loh BOEIPA te, “Balae tih na sal soah thae na huet? Balae tih na mik dongah mikdaithen khaw ka hmuh pawh? He pilnam pum kah hnorhih he kamah soah tloeng ham mai he.
12 Did I conceive all these people? Did I give them birth, so that You should tell me, ‘Carry them in your bosom, as a nurse carries an infant,’ to the land that You swore to give their fathers?
Kai loh pilnam pum he ka yomtih kai loh ka sak nim? Kai taengah tah, 'Cahni aka poeh loh a napa hamna toemngam pah khohmuen laa khuen bangla pilnam he na rhang dongah poem,’ na ti.
13 Where can I get meat for all these people? For they keep crying out to me, ‘Give us meat to eat!’
He pilnam pum taengah paek ham maehte kai taengah me lamkah nim a om eh? Kai taengah rhapuh tih, 'Kaimih he maeh m'pae lamtah ka ca uh eh,’ a ti uh.
14 I cannot carry all these people by myself; it is too burdensome for me.
He pilnam pum phueih ham tah kai bueng neh ka coeng moenih, kai ham khaw rhih aih.
15 If this is how You are going to treat me, please kill me right now—if I have found favor in Your eyes—and let me not see my own wretchedness.”
Kai he he tla nan saii oeh atah kamah he nan ngawn khaw nan ngawn laeh mako. Na mikhmuh ah mikdaithen ka dang atah ka yoethae he ka hmu boel eh?,” a ti nah.
16 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Bring Me seventy of the elders of Israel known to you as leaders and officers of the people. Bring them to the Tent of Meeting and have them stand there with you.
Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Israel kah a hamca lamloh pilnam kah a hamca neh rhoiboei la na ming te hlang sawmrhihah kai taengla han coi. Amih te tingtunnah dap la khuen lamtah namah taengah pahoi pai uh saeh.
17 And I will come down and speak with you there, and I will take some of the Spirit that is on you and put that Spirit on them. They will help you bear the burden of the people, so that you do not have to bear it by yourself.
Ka suntla vetih nang te pahoi kam voek bitni. Te vaengah nang dongkah Mueihla te ka pet vetih amih soah ka khueh ni. Pilnam kah hnorhih te nang n'yingyawn puei daengah ni nang namah bueng hamna phueih pawt eh.
18 And say to the people: Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, and you will eat meat, because you have cried out in the hearing of the LORD, saying: ‘Who will feed us meat? For we were better off in Egypt!’ Therefore the LORD will give you meat, and you will eat.
Pilnam te, “Thangvuen kah ham ciim uh laeh. Maeh caak ham maite BOEIPA hna ahna rhapuh tih, “U long nim mamih he maeh n'cah ve, Egypt ah ni mamih hama hoeikhang palueng,” na ti dongah BOEIPA loh nangmih te maeh m'paek vetihna caak uh bitni.
19 You will eat it not for one or two days, nor for five or ten or twenty days,
Hnin at bueng na ca mahpawh, hnin nit mai pawt tih hnin nga mai moenih. Hnin rha bal mai pawt tih khohnin kul bueng moenih.
20 but for a whole month—until it comes out of your nostrils and makes you nauseous—because you have rejected the LORD, who is among you, and have cried out before Him, saying, ‘Why did we ever leave Egypt?’”
Hla bal hnin bal na hnarhong lamloh a coe vaengah nangmih ham kona-awk la om bitni. Na khui ah BOEIPA na hnawt uh tih na rhap uh. A mikhmuh ah, “Balae tih Egypt lamloh n'caeh uh he,” na ti uh,”ti nah,” a ti.
21 But Moses replied, “Here I am among 600,000 men on foot, yet You say, ‘I will give them meat, and they will eat for a month.’
Tedae Moses loh, “Pilnam kah rhalkap he thawng ya rhuk lo tih a khui ah kai ka om ngawn. Namah long tah, “Amih te maeh ka paek vetih khohnin bal hla bal a cak uh bitni,” na ti.
22 If all our flocks and herds were slaughtered for them, would they have enough? Or if all the fish in the sea were caught for them, would they have enough?”
Amih ham boiva neh saelhung ngawn cakhaw amih te cung venim? Tuitunli kah nga boeih te amih ham kol pah cakhaw amih te cung venim?” a ti nah.
23 The LORD answered Moses, “Is the LORD’s arm too short? Now you will see whether or not My word will come to pass.”
Te dongah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “BOEIPA he a kut ngun a? Kai ol he nang taengah a thoeng khaw, a thoeng pawt khawna hmuh pawn ni,” a ti nah.
24 So Moses went out and relayed to the people the words of the LORD, and he gathered seventy of the elders of the people and had them stand around the tent.
Te phoeiah Moseste cet tih pilnam taengah BOEIPA ola thui. Te phoeiah pilnam kah a hamcakhui lamloh hlang sawmrhih te a coi tih amih te dap kaepvai ah a pai sak.
25 Then the LORD came down in the cloud and spoke to him, and He took some of the Spirit that was on Moses and placed that Spirit on the seventy elders. As the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied—but they never did so again.
Te vaengah BOEIPAte cingmai khuiah ha suntla tih anih tea voek. Te phoeiah anih dongkah Mueihla tea pet tiha hamrhoek hlang sawmrhih soaha paek. Amih soah Mueihlaa om van neh tonghma uh dae khoep uh hae pawh.
26 Two men, however, had remained in the camp—one named Eldad and the other Medad—and the Spirit rested on them. They were among those listed, but they had not gone out to the tent, and they prophesied in the camp.
Te vaengah hlang panit tah rhaehhmuen ah uelh rhoi. Pakhat ming tah Eldad tih pabae te a ming Medad ni. Amih rhoi soah mueihla om tih amih rhoi khaw thum rhoi. Tedae dap la mop rhoi pawt tih rhaehhmuen ah tonghma rhoi.
27 A young man ran and reported to Moses, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.”
Te dongah camoe pakhat te yong tih Moses taengah a puen pah. Te vaengah, “Eldad neh Medad tah rhaehhmuen ah tonghma rhoi,” a ti nah.
28 Joshua son of Nun, the attendant to Moses since youth, spoke up and said, “Moses, my lord, stop them!”
Te dongah Moses loh a cacawn lamkaha tueihyoeih Nun capa Joshualoh a doo tih, “Ka boeipa Moses aw amihte paa sak,” a ti nah.
29 But Moses replied, “Are you jealous on my account? I wish that all the LORD’s people were prophets and that the LORD would place His Spirit on them!”
Tedae Moses loh anih te, “Kai ham na thatlai a? BOEIPA kah pilnam pum he tonghmalaa khueh mai khaming. Amih rhoi soah BOEIPA a mueihlaa paek maco,” a ti.
30 Then Moses returned to the camp, along with the elders of Israel.
Te phoeiah Moseste Israela hamrhoek neh a rhaehhmuen la khoem uh.
31 Now a wind sent by the LORD came up, drove in quail from the sea, and brought them near the camp, about two cubits above the surface of the ground, for a day’s journey in every direction around the camp.
Te phoeiah BOEIPA taeng lamloh khohlia tueih tih tuipuei lamkah tanghuema khuen pah. Te vaengah rhaehhmuen la hnin at longcaeh, hnin at longcaeh hil a khueh pah. Rhaehhmuen kaepvaiah khaw diklai hman ah dong nit hil ngang.
32 All that day and night, and all the next day, the people stayed up gathering the quail. No one gathered less than ten homers, and they spread them out all around the camp.
Pilnamte thootih khothaih puet, khoyin puet, a vuen hnin at puet tanghuem tea kol uh. Homer parhaa baeko hil khaw a kol uh tih rhaehhmuen kaepvai ah a yaal laa yaal uh.
33 But while the meat was still between their teeth, before it was chewed, the anger of the LORD burned against the people, and the LORD struck them with a severe plague.
Maehte a no laklo ah a ai hlan vaengah BOEIPA kah thintoekte pilnam taengah sai tih BOEIPA loh pilnam te hmasoe puei neh muepa ngawn.
34 So they called that place Kibroth-hattaavah, because there they buried the people who had craved other food.
Te vaengah maeh hue pilnam te pahoia up uh dongah te hmuen ming khaw Kiborthhattaavahlaa khue.
35 From Kibroth-hattaavah the people moved on to Hazeroth, where they remained for some time.
Pilnamte Kiborthhattaavah lamloh Hazeroth la puen uh tih Hazeroth ah om uh.
