< Numbers 11 >

1 Now the people were saying evil against the Lord; and the Lord, hearing it, was angry and sent fire on them, burning the outer parts of the tent-circle.
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 made an outcry to Moses, and Moses made prayer to the Lord, and the fire was stopped.
Te vaengah pilnam te Moses taengah pang tih Moses te BOEIPA taengah a thangthui daengah hmai khaw duek.
3 So that place was named Taberah, because of the fire of the Lord which had been burning among them.
BOEIPA kah hmai loh amih te a dom dongah te kah hmuen ming te Taberah la a khue.
4 And the mixed band of people who went with them were overcome by desire: and the children of Israel, weeping again, said, Who will give us flesh for our food?
Amih khui ah aka boihlum kah hoehhamnah te a ngaidam uh. Te vaengah Israel ca rhoek khaw mael uh tih a rhah neh, “U long nim mamih maeh n'cah ve?
5 Sweet is the memory of the fish we had in Egypt for nothing, and the fruit and green plants of every sort, sharp and pleasing to the taste:
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 soul is wasted away; there is nothing at all: we have nothing but this manna before our eyes.
Tedae mamih kah hinglu tah rhae coeng tih mamih mikhmuh kah manna pawt atah a cungkuem he om voel pawh.
7 Now the manna was like a seed of grain, like small clear drops.
Manna khaw mah sungsin muu bangla, a mik khaw thingpi mik bangla om.
8 The people went about taking it up from the earth, crushing it between stones or hammering it to powder, and boiling it in pots, and they made cakes of it: its taste was like the taste of cakes cooked with 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 came down on the tents at night, the manna came down with it.
Rhaehhmuen ah buemtui a bo hatah khoyin ah te nen te manna tla,” a ti uh.
10 And at the sound of the people weeping, every man at his tent-door, the wrath of the Lord was great, and Moses was very angry.
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 And Moses said to the Lord, Why have you done me this evil? and why have I not grace in your eyes, that you have put on me the care of all this 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 Am I the father of all this people? have I given them birth, that you say to me, Take them in your arms, like a child at the breast, to the land which you gave by an oath to their fathers?
Kai loh pilnam pum he ka yom tih kai loh ka sak nim? Kai taengah tah, 'Cahni aka poeh loh a napa ham na toemngam pah khohmuen la a khuen bangla pilnam he na rhang dongah poem,’ na ti.
13 Where am I to get flesh to give to all this people? For they are weeping to me and saying, Give us flesh for our food.
He pilnam pum taengah paek ham maeh te kai taengah me lamkah nim a om eh? Kai taengah rhap uh tih, 'Kaimih he maeh m'pae lamtah ka ca uh eh,’ a ti uh.
14 I am not able by myself to take the weight of all this people, for it is more than my strength.
He pilnam pum phueih ham tah kai bueng neh ka coeng moenih, kai ham khaw rhih aih.
15 If this is to be my fate, put me to death now in answer to my prayer, if I have grace in your eyes; and let me not see my shame.
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 And the Lord said to Moses, Send for seventy of the responsible men of Israel, who are in your opinion men of weight and authority over the people; make them come to the Tent of meeting and be 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 sawmrhih ah kai taengla han coi. Amih te tingtunnah dap la khuen lamtah namah taengah pahoi pai uh saeh.
17 And I will come down and have talk with you there: and I will take some of the spirit which is on you and put it on them, and they will take part of the weight of the people off you, so that you do not have to take 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 ham na phueih pawt eh.
18 And say to the people, Make yourselves clean before tomorrow and you will have flesh for your food: for in the ears of the Lord you have been weeping and saying, Who will give us flesh for food? for we were well off in Egypt: and so the Lord will give you flesh, and it will be your food;
Pilnam te, “Thangvuen kah ham ciim uh laeh. Maeh caak ham mai te BOEIPA hna ah na rhap uh tih, “U long nim mamih he maeh n'cah ve, Egypt ah ni mamih ham a hoeikhang palueng,” na ti dongah BOEIPA loh nangmih te maeh m'paek vetih na caak uh bitni.
19 Not for one day only, or even 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 every day for a month, till you are tired of it, turning from it in disgust: because you have gone against the Lord who is with you, and have been weeping before him saying, Why did we come out of 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 Then Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand men on foot; and you have said, I will give them flesh to be their food 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 Are flocks and herds to be put to death for them? or are all the fish in the sea to be got together so that they may be full?
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 And the Lord said to Moses, Has the Lord's hand become short? Now you will see if my word comes true for you or not.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “BOEIPA he a kut ngun a? Kai ol he nang taengah a thoeng khaw, a thoeng pawt khaw na hmuh pawn ni,” a ti nah.
24 And Moses went out and gave the people the words of the Lord: and he took seventy of the responsible men of the people, placing them round the Tent.
Te phoeiah Moses te cet tih pilnam taengah BOEIPA ol a thui. Te phoeiah pilnam kah a hamca khui 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 had talk with him, and put on the seventy men some of the spirit which was on him: now when the spirit came to rest on them, they were like prophets, but only at that time.
Te vaengah BOEIPA te cingmai khuiah ha suntla tih anih te a voek. Te phoeiah anih dongkah Mueihla te a pet tih a ham rhoek hlang sawmrhih soah a paek. Amih soah Mueihla a om van neh tonghma uh dae khoep uh hae pawh.
26 But two men were still in the tent-circle one of them named Eldad and the other Medad: and the spirit came to rest on them; they were among those who had been sent for, but they had not gone out to the Tent: and the prophet's power came on them in the tent-circle.
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 And a young man went running to Moses and said, Eldad and Medad are acting as prophets in the tent-circle.
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 Then Joshua, the son of Nun, who had been Moses' servant from the time when he was a child, said, My lord Moses, let them be stopped.
Te dongah Moses loh a cacawn lamkah a tueihyoeih Nun capa Joshua loh a doo tih, “Ka boeipa Moses aw amih te paa sak,” a ti nah.
29 And Moses said to him, Are you moved by envy on my account? If only all the Lord's people were prophets, and the Lord might put his spirit on them!
Tedae Moses loh anih te, “Kai ham na thatlai a? BOEIPA kah pilnam pum he tonghma la a khueh mai khaming. Amih rhoi soah BOEIPA a mueihla a paek maco,” a ti.
30 Then Moses, with the responsible men of Israel, went back to the tent-circle.
Te phoeiah Moses te Israel a ham rhoek neh a rhaehhmuen la khoem uh.
31 Then the Lord sent a wind, driving little birds from the sea, so that they came down on the tents, and all round the tent-circle, about a day's journey on this side and on that, in masses about two cubits high over the face of the earth.
Te phoeiah BOEIPA taeng lamloh khohli a tueih tih tuipuei lamkah tanghuem a khuen pah. Te vaengah rhaehhmuen la hnin at longcaeh, hnin at longcaeh hil a khueh pah. Rhaehhmuen kaepvai ah khaw diklai hman ah dong nit hil ngang.
32 And all that day and all night and the day after, the people were taking up the birds; the smallest amount which anyone got was ten homers: and they put them out all round the tents.
Pilnam te thoo tih khothaih puet, khoyin puet, a vuen hnin at puet tanghuem te a kol uh. Homer parha a baeko hil khaw a kol uh tih rhaehhmuen kaepvai ah a yaal la a yaal uh.
33 But while the meat was still between their teeth, before it was tasted, the wrath of the Lord was moved against the people and he sent a great outburst of disease on them.
Maeh te a no laklo ah a ai hlan vaengah BOEIPA kah thintoek te pilnam taengah sai tih BOEIPA loh pilnam te hmasoe puei neh muep a ngawn.
34 So that place was named Kibroth-hattaavah; because there they put in the earth the bodies of the people who had given way to their desires.
Te vaengah maeh hue pilnam te pahoi a up uh dongah te hmuen ming khaw Kiborthhattaavah la a khue.
35 From Kibroth-hattaavah the people went on to Hazeroth; and there they put up their tents.
Pilnam te Kiborthhattaavah lamloh Hazeroth la puen uh tih Hazeroth ah om uh.
