< Numbers 11 >

1 One day the people complained to Yahweh about their troubles. When Yahweh heard what they were saying, he became angry. So he sent a fire which burned among the people at the edge of their camp.
Phat chomkhat jouvin mipite hochu hahsat genthei jeh a lunglhei louna ahin phong doh tauvin, chule Pakai in aseidohho jouseu abonchan ajasoh keiyin ahi. Hiche Pathen lunghanna chu amaho chunga akoujah jengtan, amaho hal vam ding meikong asoltan, chule ngahmun polam a um mi phabeppi chu asumang tan ahi.
2 Then the people cried out to Moses/me, and he/I prayed to Yahweh. Then the fire stopped burning.
Hichun mite hochu Mose henga kithopina ngaichan akap un amao tauvin, chuin Mose chun Pathen henga taona anei phat in, meikong chu athiptai.
3 So they called that place Taberah, [which means ‘burning’], because the fire from Yahweh had burned among them.
Phat chomkhat jouchun, hiche lai lhang chu Taberah(Hichu 'mei kou namun' tina ahi) tin akihetai ajehchu Pathenna konna meikong chun amaho lah a mi phabep ahal lhah namun ahi.
4 Then some troublemakers from other people-groups [who were traveling] with the Israelis began to want better food. And [when they started complaining] the Israeli people also started to complain.
Israel mite toh lamjot khom namdang ho chun Egypt gam'a neh le chah ho chu ahin ngaicha tauvin, hichun Israel chate jong ahung kiphin kit tauvin, “Oh, Sa themkhat beh neipe un!” tin a eujah tauvin ahi.
5 They said, “We wish we had some meat!
Egypt gam sung a nga aman beija kaneh jiu ka lhangai jun ahi. Chule changmaiho, donkhoho, leeks, louthul atil neiho, chule changnam(Garlic) ho akingai cha chan akimutheije tin asam uve.
6 We remember the fish that we ate while we were in Egypt, fish that was given to us without (cost/asking us to pay for it). And we had all the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions, and garlic [that we wanted]. But now we do not have any desire to eat, because all we have to eat is this manna!”
Ahinlah tuhin imacha ka duchat hou kanei tapouvin, Tua kamu kaneh jing uhi hiche Manna bou hi ahitai.
7 The manna resembled small white seeds.
Manna kiti chule louthul amu neocha cha hotobang ahin hiche ai-eng tobanga eng dup a kiselum a ahi.
8 [Each morning] the people would go out and gather some [from the surface of the ground]. Then they made flour by grinding it or pounding it with stones. Then they [added water and] boiled it in a pot, or they made flat cakes with it [and baked them]. The cakes tasted like bread that was baked with [olive] oil.
Mipi chu pamlam a gache uva ahin kilokhom uva, changbong tobang asothei nadia khutpei changsuhgoina manchah amangcha jiuvin ahilou jong leh agoi nel tho jiu ahiye. Hiche amahon changbong tobang chu bel lah ahon uva changlhah pheng ahin sodoh sah jiu ahi. Changlhah pheng chu Olive thao toh kihal jia nehthei tui in atui in ahi.
9 Each night the manna came down on their ground where their tents were, like dew [from the sky].
Hiche manna chu ngahmuna jankim teng daitui toh hung khelha tha jia ahiye.
10 Moses/I heard all the Israeli people complaining as they were standing in the entrances of their tents. Yahweh became very angry, and Moses/I was also very perturbed.
Hichun Mose’n mipi ho jouse ama ama insunga amaponbuh a in kotbul a kiphinna husa ajan, chule Pakai lunghanna akhong gei leutan, Mose jong alung nopmo asah lheh in ahi.
11 He/I [went into the Sacred Tent and] asked Yahweh, “Why have you caused me, your servant, to experience this trouble [RHQ]? Act mercifully to me! What wrong have I done, with the result that you have appointed me to take care of all of these people [RHQ]?
Chu in Mose’n Pakai henga aseijin, “Ipidia nasoh hi hiti lom lom a hi nei gimbol hitam? Kachung a khotona nei nei in! Bolkhel ipi kanei a, mipi ho pohgih jouse kapoh ding naphal ham?
12 (I am not their father./Am I their father?) [RHQ] Why have you told me to take care of them like a woman carries around her baby and (nurses it/gives it her milk) [MET, RHQ]? How can I take them to the land that you promised to give to our ancestors [RHQ]?
Keiman amaho hi kahindoh sa hiuvem? hiche vannoiya hi ka hin poh lut hiuvem? Minun naosen ajenle a apoh le bang a ipi dia amaho hi kaban a kadople ding a neiseipeh ham? Apu apateo nana peh na gam a chu iti keiman amaho hi ka puilut jou ding ham?
13 Where can I get meat to feed all these people? They keep complaining to me, saying, ‘Give us some meat to eat!’
Keiman hoilam a hiche mipi ho neh dinga saphe ka lah ding hitam? Amaho akiphin phin jeng un, “Saphe kaneh ding nei piuvin!” atiuve.
14 I cannot carry all these people’s burdens by myself! [They are like a heavy load [MET], and] I cannot carry this very heavy load any more.
Keiman hiche mipi ho hi kachangin ka jou tapoi! Hiche pohgih hi kapohjou kalval in agihtai!
15 If you intend to act like this toward me, kill me now. If you are really concerned about me, be kind to me and [kill me to] end my misery [of trying to take care of them]!”
Hitobang tah a hi gimsah ding mong neitileh, kipat in lang nei that doh tan. Neihin khohsah in lang hiche gim genthei ho a kon hin nei huidoh o!”
16 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Summon 70 men whom you know are leaders among the Israeli people. Tell them to stand with you in front of the Sacred Tent.
Hichun Pathen in Mose kom a ahinsei in, “Keima angsung a Israel mipi te lamkai leh Upa ho som sagi hin puilut in. Hiche lamkai hochu Houbuh a nang doh ding khom uhen.
17 I will come down and talk with you there. Then I will take some of [the power of] my Spirit that you have, and I will put [that power] on them also. They will help you to take care of some of the things that the people are concerned about, in order that you will not need to do it alone.
Keima hung kumlha ingting kahin houpi ding nahi. Keiman nang a um lhagao phabep khat la ingting amaho chunga hiche lhagao chu ka khumlut peh ding ahi. Amahon mipiho pohgih chu a pohhu diu, nang in nachang a napoh ngailou ding ahitai.
18 “Furthermore, say to the people, ‘Make yourselves acceptable to me, and tomorrow you will have meat to eat. You were complaining, and Yahweh heard you when you were saying, “We want some meat to eat. We had better food in Egypt!” Now Yahweh will give you some meat, and you will eat it.
“Chule mipi ho chu seipeh un, 'nangho kisutheng un, ajehchu jing nikho teng nang hon sa nehding nanei ding u ahitai. Nangho na kiphin un, chuleh Pathen in naka nau ajatai. 'Saphe themkhat jeh in Egypt ma um kanom jouve! na tiuve' tuahi Pakai in nang ho nahin peh diu naneh tei dingu ahi tai.
19 You will eat meat not only for one or two days, nor only for five or ten or 20 days.
Hichu nikhat ahi louleh nini tina jong ahi tapon, ni nga, nisom chule nisomni tina jong ahi tapoi, ati.
20 [You will eat meat every day] for one month, and then you will loathe/despise it, and it will cause you to want to vomit. [This will happen] because you have rejected Yahweh who is here among you, and you have wailed in his presence, saying [“We would have had better food to eat] if we had not left Egypt [RHQ].”’”
Nang hon lhakhat sunga nachimdeh tokah uva naneh diu ahi. Ajeh chu nanghon nakom uva umjing Pakai napampai un, chuleh ama kom a kiphinnan naseiyun, “Idia Egypt gam ihin dalhah mong mong uham” natiuve.””
21 But Moses/I replied to Yahweh, “There are 600,000 men [plus women and children] here with me, so ([why] do you say ‘I will give them plenty of meat every day for a month!’?/it does not seem right for you to say ‘I will give them plenty of meat every day for a month!’) [RHQ]
Ahin Mose chun Pakai chu adonbut nin, “tuahi mihem sang jagup keima toh um kahiuve, ahin Pakai nangma in 'lhakhat sungse aneh diu kapeh ding ahi! nati.'
22 Even if we killed all the sheep and cattle, that would not [RHQ] be enough [to provide meat for all of them] Even if we caught all the fish in the sea [and gave it to them], that would not be enough [RHQ]!”
Kaganchan neihou jouse kithat jongleh, mihem hijat kipejou nantem? tui khanglen’a um nga jouse kiman hen lang hita jong leh hiche ho jeh achu lhing mong ding hinam?
23 But Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Do you think that I [SYN] have no power? You will now see if I can do what I say I will do.”
Hichun Pakaiyin Mose henga thu aseijin, “Ka khut hin atha lhasam aham? Tua hi nang man kathusei hi atah ahi alhem ahi na hetchen ding ahitai!” ati.
24 So Moses/I went out [from the Sacred Tent] and told the people what Yahweh had said. Then he/I gathered together the 70 leaders and told them to stand around the Sacred Tent.
Hichun Mose aga potdoh tan Pakaiyin ahenga asei bang chun mipi ho aga hetsah tan ahi. Mosen Upa ho mi som sagi asukhom in chu Houbuh kim vella chun adin sah tan ahi.
25 Then Yahweh came down in the cloud [that was above the tent] and spoke to Moses/me. He took some of [the power of] the Spirit that he had given to Moses/me and gave it to the 70 leaders. By means of the power of the Spirit within them, they (prophesied/spoke messages that Yahweh gave them), but they did that only once.
Chuin meilom lah a kon chun Pakai ahung kumlhan Mose chu akihoulim pitai. Hichun Upa somsagi ho chu Mose apeh bang bang Lhagao chu amaho jouse chungnga apetan ahi. Chule lhagao ho chun mi somsagiho chunga achuh phatun, gaova thu aphongdoh tauvin ahi. Ahinlah hiche tobang thil umchan dol chu asoh kit tapon ahi.
26 Two of the leaders whom Moses/I appointed, Eldad and Medad, were not there when the rest of them gathered together. They had not left [their tents] to go and stand around the Sacred Tent. But Yahweh’s Spirit came on them also, and they started to (prophesy/speak messages from Yahweh).
Mipa ni Eldad le Medad chu ngahmun nunglam ah aum lhon in ahi. Amani chu upa ho min kijih lut na a ajao lhon in, ahinlah amanin houbuh chu adalhah hon lou beh ahi tai. Ahijeng vang in amani chunga jong chun Lhagao chu aum tan, hichun amani jong chun gaothu aphong doh lhon e.
27 So a young man ran and told Moses/me, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in all their tents!”
Pasal gollhang khat alhaiyin Mose koma thu chu agah lhut tan, “Eldad le Medad in gaothu aphong doh lhon tai!” ahung ti.
28 Joshua, who had helped Moses/me since he was a young man, said, “Sir, tell them to stop doing that!”
Nun chapa Joshua, aneo laiya pat a Mose kithopi a hung pang pa vang chun lunglhai louna aphong doh in “Mose kapu, Eldad le Medad khu kicholdo sah tan!” tin aseiye.
29 But Moses/I replied, “(Are you worried that they might injure my reputation/Do you think that I want to be the only one who prophesies) [RHQ]? I wish that all Yahweh’s people could (prophesy/speak messages from Yahweh). I wish that Yahweh would give the power of his Spirit to all of them!”
Ahinlah Mosen a donbut in, “Keima a ding ngaito na a ipi na thangset pi ham? Keiman ka dei pha ka sah vang chu mi jouse hi themgao hihen lang chuleh Pakai in alhagao chu amaho jouse chung nga jong chun koi cheh le kati!” atin ahi.
30 Then Moses/I and all the leaders went back to their/our tents.
Hichun Mose jong chu Upa ho chutoh ngahmun kom langa akile kit tauve.
31 Then Yahweh sent a strong wind from the sea. It blew quail into the area all around the camp for miles in every direction, [and caused the quail to fall onto the ground]. They were piled up on the ground about (3 feet/1 meter) high!
Hitichun Pakaiyin Vamin puiding in tuikhanglen a huipi ahin nunsah tan, ngahmun chung leh kimvel jousea vamin akhehsah tan ahi. Amaho umna akon a avetna lamlam u miles a gamlha chan a chun tol a kon feet thum sang bou leng thei Vamim adimsoh tan ahi.
32 So the people went out and gathered up the quail all that day, and all that night, and all of the following day. [It seemed as though] everyone gathered at least 50 bushels! They spread the quail out on the ground all around the camp, [so that the quail would dry out].
Hichun mipi chu a potdoh'un hiche Vamim chu nilhum kei jin aman un hiche ni jan khovah keijin jong chuleh ajing gei jong chun aloh khom na laijun ahi. Koiman bushels somnga sang a lhomjo amanpouvin ahi! Ngahmun kimvel a chun Vamin sa ho chu agot nading in aphou un ahi.
33 [Then they cooked them and started to eat them]. But while they were still eating the meat [MTY], Yahweh [showed that he] was very angry with them. He struck them with a severe plague/sickness, [and many people died].
Ahinlah Israelten saphe chu akam uva alhai’u aval lhah ding kontah u chun Pakai lung hanna achung'uva ahung chu tan, pul gimneitah alhunsah tan ahi.
34 The people who died and were buried were the ones who had said they wanted to eat meat [like they had formerly eaten in Egypt]. So they called that place Kibroth-Hattaavah, [which means ‘graves of those who craved’].
Hiti ahijeh chun hilaimun chu Kibroth-Hattaavah(milop ho lhankhuh) aki sahtai ajehchu amahon Egypt lamah saphe ngai cha jing miho avuinao chu ahi.
35 From there, the Israelis continued walking [east] until they arrived at Hazeroth [town], where they stopped and stayed [for a long time].
Kibroth-Hattaavah apat chun Israel mite chu Hazeroth gei chu ahung kitol un, phat chomkhat hilai mun a chun ahung kichol uve.
