< Numbers 11 >
1 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.
Kaminawk mah laisaep thui ih lok to Angraeng mah thaih naah, palungphui hmai baktiah amngaeh; to pongah Angraeng ih hmai mah nihcae salak to kangh moe, kangthla koek ohhaih ahmuen taeng ih thoemto kaminawk to duek o.
2 And when the people had cried out to Moses, Moses prayed to the Lord, and the fire was consumed.
To naah kaminawk loe Mosi khaeah hangh o; Mosi mah Angraeng khaeah lawkthuih naah, hmai to duek let.
3 And he called the name of that place, ‘The Burning,’ because the fire of the Lord had burned against them.
Angraeng ih hmai mah nihcae salak to kangh pongah, to ahmuen to Taberah, tiah kawk o.
4 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?
Israel kaminawk hoi nawnto kaom prae kalah kaminawk loe, zok amthlam o; Israel kaminawk doeh qah o moe, mi mah maw ka caak o hanah moi na paek tih?
5 We remember the fish that we ate freely in Egypt; we call to mind the cucumbers, and melons, and leeks, and onions, and garlic.
Izip prae ah atho paek ai ah caak ih tanga moi, paye thaih, yaengkaem thaih, rasawn kathim hoi kanglung rasawn, kalah congca aannawk to ka poek o parai boeh;
6 Our life is dry; our eyes look out to see nothing but manna.”
toe vaihi loe ka hing o haih thazok sut boeh; hae ih manna khue ai ah loe, kalah tidoeh hnuk han koi om ai, tiah a thuih o.
7 Now the manna was like coriander seed, but with the color of bdellium.
Manna loe Coriander thingthai mu baktiah oh moe, arong loe bedellium thingthai mu hoiah anghmong.
8 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.
Kaminawk loe caeh o moe, Manna akhuih o pacoengah, daengh o moe, long laom pongah takaw baktiah pahaih o; to loe situi hoiah haek ih takaw baktiah khraem.
9 And when the dew descended in the night over the camp, the manna descended together with it.
Ataihaih ahmuen ah aqum ih dantui krak naah, manna doeh dantui hoi nawnto krak toeng.
10 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.
To naah kami boih angmacae ih thok taengah, angmacae imthung takoh boih hoi nawnto qahhaih lok to Mosi mah thaih; Angraeng loe palungphui parai pongah, Mosi doeh poek nawm ai.
11 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?
To pongah Mosi mah Angraeng khaeah, Tipongah na tamna raihaih nang paek loe? Tikhoe na hmaa ah mikcuk naakrak ah ka om ai to mah, hae kaminawk boih ih hmuenzit ka nuiah nam tik loe?
12 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?
Hae kaminawk loe kai mah zok ah ka pomh ih kaminawk maw, tikhoe nawkta tapenkung mah nawkta to tapom baktih toengah, hae kaminawk hae ka ban ah tapom moe, nihcae ampanawk khaeah paek hanah lok na kam ih, prae thungah caeh haih hanah nang thuih loe?
13 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.’
Hae kaminawk hanah naa ih moi maw ka la pae thai tih? Nihcae mah kai khaeah, Caak han moi na paek ah, tiah ang hnik o.
14 I alone am unable to sustain this entire people, because it is too heavy for me.
Hae kaminawk hae kaimah bueng ka hoi thai mak ai; hae hmuen loe kai hanah azit hmoek.
15 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.”
To tiah kai hae nang ohsak moe, na mikhnuk ah koeh koiah ka oh nahaeloe, vaihiah na hum halat ah! Amtanghaih na hnusak hma ah, tiah a naa.
16 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,
Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah, Israel kacoehtanawk qui sarihto hoi zaehoikungnawk, na panoek ih ukkungnawk to nangmah hoi nawnto amkhuenghaih kahni im ah angdoet o thai hanah, kai khaeah angzo haih ah.
17 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.
To ah nang hoi lokthuih hanah kang zoh tathuk han; na nuiah kaom pakhra to ka lak moe, nihcae nuiah ka suek han; hae kaminawk hae nangmah bueng na hoi mak ai, kaminawk ih hmuen kazit to nihcae mah na lawn o tih.
18 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,
Kaminawk khaeah hae tiah thui paeh; khawnbang hanah ciimcai oh, moi to na caa o tih; nangcae mah, Mi mah maw caak han moi na paek tih? Izip prae ah loe khosak kahoih ah ka oh o, tiah na qah o haih lok Angraeng mah thaih boeh pongah, Angraeng mah moi na paek o ueloe, na caa o tih boeh.
19 not for one day, nor for two, nor for five, nor for ten, nor even for twenty,
Nito, ni hnetto, ni pangato, ni hato, ni pumphaeto khue na caa o mak ai;
20 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?’”
na hnah thung hoiah moi tacawt moe, na panuet o sut khoek to, khrato thung moi to na caa o poe tih; nangcae salakah kaom Angraeng to khet na patoek o moe, tih pongah maw Izip prae to ka caeh o taak? tiah anih hmaa ah na qah o pongah, khrah to thung moi to na caa o tuek tih, tiah a naa.
21 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.’
Toe Mosi mah loe, Kai hoi nawnto kholong caeh kami sang cumvai tarukto oh o; khrah to thung caak poe han ih moi to kang paek han, tiah na thuih.
22 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?”
Nihcae caak kakhawt ah maitaw hoi tuunawk to boh han maw? Tuipui ih tanganawk boih naeh cadoeh, nihcae caak han khawt tih maw? tiah a naa.
23 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.”
Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah, Angraeng ih ban loe duem tet maw? Ka thuih ih lok baktih toengah nangcae khaeah oh maw, om ai, tito vaihi na hnu tih, tiah a naa.
24 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.
Mosi loe caeh moe, Angraeng mah thuih ih loknawk to kaminawk khaeah thuih pae; nihcae thung ih kacoehta qui sarihto a kawk moe, kahni im taengah ohsak.
25 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.
To naah Angraeng loe tamai hoiah anghum tathuk moe, anih khaeah lokthuih; anih nui ah kaom Pakhra to a lak moe, kacoehta qui sarihto nuiah a suek; nihcae nuiah Pakhra oh naah, nihcae loe boeng ai ah lok taphong o.
26 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.
Toe kami hnetto, Eldad hoi Medad loe ataihaih ahmuen ah oh hoi poe; nihnik doeh kacoehta thungah athum hoi toeng, toe kahni im taengah caeh hoi ai; nihnik nuiah doeh Pakhra to oh pongah, atai hoi haih ahmuen ah lok taphong hoi toeng.
27 And when they were prophesying in the camp, a boy ran and reported to Moses, saying: “Eldad and Medad prophesy in the camp.”
Thendoeng maeto loe cawnh moe, Mosi khaeah, Eldad hoi Medad hnik doeh ataihaih im ah lok taphong hoi toeng, tiah a naa.
28 Promptly, Joshua the son of Nun, the minister of Moses and chosen from many, said: “My lord Moses, prohibit them.”
Mosi ih tamna, thendoeng, Nun capa Joshua mah, Ka angraeng Mosi, nihnik to lokthuih anghaksak ah, tiah a naa.
29 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?”
Toe Mosi mah anih khaeah, Ka nuiah uthaih palungthin na tawnh maw? Angraeng ih kaminawk loe tahmaa ah ni oh o boih, Angraeng mah nihcae nuiah angmah ih Muithla to suem tih, tiah a naa.
30 And Moses returned, with those greater by birth of Israel, into the camp.
To pacoengah Mosi hoi Israel kacoehtanawk loe a oh o haih im ah amlaem o let.
31 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.
To naah Angraeng khae hoiah takhi to songh moe, nihcae ataihaih im hae bang hoi ni to caehhaih loklam, ho bang hoiah doeh ni to caehhaih loklam karoek to, tuipui hoiah kuikoem to a sin pae; long hoi dong hnetto kathah ah angpopsak.
32 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.
To naah kaminawk mah athun qui, aqum puek, kuikoem to akhuih o, khawnbang khoek to a lak o; tamsi koek akhui kami mah homer hato akhuih o; kuikoem to atai o haih im taeng boih ah tapop o.
33 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.
Toe kuikoem moi to caa o ai naah, Angraeng palungphuihaih kaminawk nuiah phak; to pongah nihcae khaeah kanung parai nathaih kasae to phaksak.
34 And that place was called, ‘The Graves of Lust.’ For there, they buried the people who had desired.
Caak amoeh hmoek kaminawk to aphum o pongah, to ahmuen to Kibroth-Hattaavah, tiah kawk o.
35 Then, departing from the Graves of Lust, they arrived in Hazeroth, and they stayed there.
Kaminawk loe Kibroth-Hattavah ahmuen hoiah Hazeroth ahmuen ah caeh o moe, to ah atai o.
