< Numbers 14 >

1 And so, crying out, the entire crowd wept throughout that night.
Hahoi teh, kamkhuengnaw pueng ni hote tangmin puenghoi a khuika awh.
2 And all the sons of Israel were murmuring against Moses and Aaron, saying:
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,
3 “If only we had died in Egypt,” and, “If only we would perish in this vast wilderness,” and, “May the Lord not lead us into this land, lest we fall by the sword, and our wives, as well as our children, be led away as captives. Is it not better to return to Egypt?”
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.
4 And they said to one another, “Let us appoint our leader, and so return to Egypt.”
Hahoi a kamkhueng awh teh kahrawikung rawi vaiteh, Izip ram vah ban awh sei telah ati awh.
5 And when Moses and Aaron heard this, they fell prone on the ground in the sight of the multitude of the sons of Israel.
Mosi hoi Aron teh kamkhueng e Isarelnaw pueng e hmalah a tabo roi.
6 Yet truly, Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who themselves had also viewed the land, tore their garments,
Hateiteh, Nun capa Joshua hoi Jephunneh capa Kalep, ram katuetnaw thung dawk ka bawk roi van e ni a hni a phi roi teh,
7 and they said to the entire multitude of the sons of Israel: “The land that we circled through is very good.
kamkhueng e Isarelnaw pueng koe tuet hanelah ka cei sin awh e ram teh, kahawi poung tangngak e doeh.
8 If the Lord will be gracious to us, he will lead us into it, and he will give us the land flowing with milk and honey.
Maimouh koe BAWIPA a lunghawi pawiteh, ama ni na cetkhai awh vaiteh, khoitui hoi sanutui a lawngnae ram teh na poe han doeh.
9 Do not choose to be rebellious against the Lord. And do not fear the people of this land, for, like bread, so are we able to devour them. All protection has withdrawn from them. The Lord is with us. Do not be afraid.”
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.
10 And when the entire multitude cried out, and they wanted to crush them with stones, the glory of the Lord appeared, over the roof of the covenant, to all the sons of Israel.
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.
11 And the Lord said to Moses: “How long will this people disparage me? How long will they refuse to believe me, despite all the signs that I have wrought before them?
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.
12 Therefore, I will strike them with a pestilence, and so I will consume them. But you I will make the ruler over a great nation, and one which is mightier than this one.”
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.
13 And Moses said to the Lord: “But then the Egyptians, from whose midst you led out this people,
Mosi ni BAWIPA koevah hot teh Izipnaw ni thai langvaih. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hete tamihupui heh na thao e lahoi na tâcokhai e naw doeh.
14 and the inhabitants of this land, who have heard that you, O Lord, are among this people, and that you are seen face to face, and that your cloud protects them, and that you go before them with a column of cloud by day, and a column of fire by night,
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.
15 may hear that you have killed so great a multitude, as if they were one man, and they may say:
Hot patetlah hete tamimaya heh tami buet touh e patetlah na thei pawiteh, na min kamthang ka panuek e miphunnaw ni,
16 ‘He was not able to lead the people into the land about which he had sworn. Therefore, he slew them in the wilderness.’
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.
17 Therefore, may the strength of the Lord be magnified, just as you swore, saying:
BAWIPA ni a lungsaw teh lungmanae hoi ka kawi e, payonnae hoi kâtapoenae ka ngaithoumkung yonpen e naw kayawicalah hloutsak laipalah,
18 ‘The Lord is patient and full of mercy, taking away iniquity and wickedness, and forsaking no one who is harmless. He visits the sins of the fathers upon the sons, to the third and fourth generation.’
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.
19 Forgive, I beg you, the sins of this people, according to the greatness of your mercy, just as you have been gracious to them in their journey from Egypt to this place.”
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.
20 And the Lord said: “I have forgiven them according to your word.
Hat toteh, BAWIPA ni na lawk patetlah ka ngaithoum toe.
21 Also, as I live, the entire world shall be filled with the glory of the Lord.
Hatei, ka hring e patetlah BAWIPA bawilennae hoi talai heh muen a kawi han.
22 And yet, all the men who have seen my majesty, and the signs that I have wrought in Egypt and in the wilderness, and who have tested me ten times already, and yet have not obeyed my voice,
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,
23 these shall not see the land, about which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any of those who detracted me gaze upon it.
kakhekungnaw koe thoebo nalaihoi ka kam pouh e ram teh, hmawt awh roeroe mahoeh. Ahnimouh rahak ka lawk banglahai ka ngaihoehnaw ni hmawt mahoeh.
24 My servant Caleb, who, being full of another spirit, has followed me, I will lead into this land, through which he has wandered, and his offspring shall possess it.
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.
25 For the Amalekites and the Canaanites live in the valleys. Tomorrow, move the camp and return into the wilderness, by the way of the Red Sea.”
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.
26 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
BAWIPA ni, Mosi hoi Aron a pato teh,
27 “How long will this very wicked multitude murmur against me? I have heard the complaints of the sons of Israel.
hete kamkhueng e tamikathoutnaw e phuenangnae heh, nâtotouh maw ka ring han. Kai taranlahoi Isarel catounnaw lai a roe awh e ka thai.
28 Therefore, say to them: As I live, says the Lord, as you spoke in my hearing, so will I do to you.
Ahnimouh koe ka hring e patetlah ka hnâthainae koe na dei awh e patetlah nangmouh lathueng ka sak han, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
29 In the wilderness, here shall your carcasses lie. All you who were numbered from twenty years and above, and who have murmured against me,
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.
30 you shall not enter into the land, over which I lifted up my hand to cause you to live there, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
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.
31 But your little ones, about whom you said that they would be a prey to the enemies, I will lead them in, so that they may see the land that has displeased you.
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.
32 Your carcasses shall lie in the wilderness.
Hatei, nangmanaw teh na ronaw ramke dawk koung a kamlei han.
33 Your sons shall wander in the desert for forty years, and they shall bear your fornication, until the carcasses of their fathers are consumed in the desert.
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.
34 According to the number of the forty days, during which you examined the land, one year shall be charged for each day. And so, for forty years you shall take back your iniquities, and you shall know my retribution.
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.
35 For just as I have spoken, so shall I do, to this entire most wicked multitude, which has risen up together against me. In the wilderness, here shall it fade away and die.”
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.
36 Therefore, all the men, whom Moses had sent to contemplate the land, and who, having returned, had caused the entire multitude to murmur against him, disparaging the land as if it were evil,
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,
37 suffered death and were struck down in the sight of the Lord.
ram kong dawk kamthangmathout kaphawtnaw roeroe hah BAWIPA hmalah lacik hoi a due awh.
38 But only Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh remained alive, out of all those who had journeyed to examine the land.
Hatei, ram tuet han kacetnaw thung dawk Nun capa Joshua hoi Jephunneh capa Kalep teh a hring roi rah.
39 And Moses spoke all these words to all the sons of Israel, and the people mourned exceedingly.
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.
40 And behold, rising up at first light, they climbed to the top of the mountain, and they said, “We are prepared to ascend to the place, about which the Lord has spoken, for we have sinned.”
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.
41 And Moses said to them: “Why do you transgress the word of the Lord, merely because it will not result in prosperity for you?
Mosi ni, bangkongmaw BAWIPA kâpoelawk na ek awh, Bangkongtetpawiteh, hete ni kuepcing sak thai mahoeh toe.
42 Do not ascend, for the Lord is not with you, lest you be overthrown before your enemies.
Takhang awh hanh, telah hoehpawiteh, na tarannaw ni na tâ awh han, bangdawk nangmouh koe BAWIPA awm hoeh.
43 The Amalekite and the Canaanite are before you, by whose sword you shall be ruined, for you were not willing to consent to the Lord, and so the Lord is not with you.”
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.
44 But they, having been darkened, ascended to the top of the mountain. But the ark of the testament of the Lord, and Moses, did not withdraw from the camp.
Hatei, monsom cei han pou a kâcai awh. Hatei BAWIPA lawkkam thingkong hoi Mosi hai rim dawk hoi tâcawt hoeh.
45 And the Amalekites descended, along with those Canaanites who were living in the mountains. And so, striking and cutting them down, they pursued them all the way to Hormah.
Hottelah hot mon dawk kaawmnaw Ameleknaw hoi Kanaannaw hah a cathuk awh teh, a tuk awh. Hormah totouh a pâlei awh.
