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.
Tamimaya a phuenang awh toteh, BAWIPA lunghawinae awmhoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hote hah BAWIPA ni a thai toteh, a lungkhuek teh a lungkâan. Hat torei teh BAWIPA e hmai hah ahnimouh rahak vah paluk a to pouh teh, roenae hmuen alawilah, a tangawn koung a kak pouh.
2 Then the people cried out to Moses/me, and he/I prayed to Yahweh. Then the fire stopped burning.
Hahoi teh, tamimaya ni Mosi koe a hram awh teh, Mosi ni BAWIPA koe a ratoum teh, hmai teh bout a roum.
3 So they called that place Taberah, [which means ‘burning’], because the fire from Yahweh had burned among them.
BAWIPA e hmai hah ahnimouh rahak vah paluk a to pouh dawkvah, hote hmuen teh Taberah ati awh.
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.
Hahoi ahnimouh rahak vah, mak kâkalawt e maya koehoi, takthai ngai awh e hah a tâco. Isarel canaw hai bout a khuika awh teh, apinimaw ca hane moi na poe awh han.
5 They said, “We wish we had some meat!
Aphu laipalah hoi Izip ram vah tanga moi canae hah ka pahnim thai awh hoeh. Payin paw hoi angkem paw, rasonpaling, rasonpangaw, ankahringnaw hah ka rabuipoung awh toe.
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!”
Atuteh ka rakhing koung a ke awh toe, Manna laipalah hoi banghai ka mit ni hmawt awh hoeh toe telah ati awh.
7 The manna resembled small white seeds.
Manna teh songsuen mu patetlah a o, arong teh badellium patetlah ao.
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.
Taminaw ni a racawng awh teh, a roe awhnae koe a phawm awh teh, hlaam dawk a thawng awh, vaiyei lah a sak awh, a ca awh toteh satui hoi karê e patetlah ao.
9 Each night the manna came down on their ground where their tents were, like dew [from the sky].
Tangminlah a roenae rim koe tadamtui a bo toteh manna hai ouk a bo van.
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.
Taminaw pueng teh imthung lahoi roenae rim takhang koe a ka awh tie Mosi ni a thai. Hahoi BAWIPA lungphuennae teh puenghoi a kâan teh, Mosi hai a lunghawi hoeh.
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]?
Hot patetlah Mosi ni BAWIPA koe bangkongmaw na san heh runae na poe, bangkongmaw, na mitkhetcawp hoeh e maw, hete maya hnokarinaw heh kai ka van na patue.
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]?
Hete taminaw kai ni ka vawn e namaw. A na mintoenaw koe thoebonae ram koe ceikhai hanlah, camo kakhenaw ni sanu ka net lahun a tawm e patetlah na lungtabue dawk tawm awh na ti hanelah ka khe e na ma.
13 Where can I get meat to feed all these people? They keep complaining to me, saying, ‘Give us some meat to eat!’
Hete taminaw na poe hane moi teh nâhoi maw ka la han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka ca hane moi hah na poe telah khuika laihoi na cusin awh toe.
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.
Hete taminaw pueng hah, kai kamadueng teh ka phawt thai hoeh toe. Kai hanlah a ri poung
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]!”
Het patet e na sak hane pawiteh, na pahren nateh na thei leih, ka rei na thaisak hanh leih telah a ti.
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.
BAWIPA ni Mosi koevah, Isarel kacuenaw, maya thung dawk kacuenaw hoi bet a lungkaha lah na panue e naw tami 70 touh pâkhueng nateh, kai koe kamkhuengnae koe lukkareiim dawk nang koe a ka due thai nahan thokhai loe.
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.
Hattorei haw vah tho vaiteh na pato han. Na tak dawk kaawm e muitha hah ka la vaiteh ahnimouh lathueng ka hruek han. Nang dueng ni phawt laipalah, maya e hmuenri hah ahnimouh ni na phu khai han.
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.
Nang ni tamimaya koe tangtho hanelah kamthoung awh nateh, moi teh na ca awh han. Moi na ca awh hane apinimaw na poe awh han, bangtelamaw Izip ram vah phu ka nep lah ka o teh telah BAWIPA hnâthainae koe na ka awh vaw. Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ni moi na poe awh vaiteh na ca awh han.
19 You will eat meat not only for one or two days, nor only for five or ten or 20 days.
Hnin touh hnin hni touh laipalah, apanga hnin hra touh laipalah, hnin 20 touh laipalah,
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].”’”
thapa yung touh thung hmawtcei hoi palopalai nunnun a tho toteh, na ca awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nama koe kaawmnaw ni BAWIPA na dudam awh, Bangkongmaw Izip ram hoi kaimanaw na tâcokhai telah a hmalah, na ka awh telah tet pouh ati telah a ati.
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]
Mosi ni kai koe kaawm e khok hoi kacetnaw ting taruk touh a pha teh, thapa yung touh ca hane moi ka poe han telah na ti.
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]!”
Tuhu hoi maitohu naw hai thet pouh haw a boum awh han vaimoe. Talî dawk e tanganaw pueng man pouh nakunghai a boum awh han vaimoe telah a ti.
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.”
BAWIPA ni Mosi koevah, BAWIPA e kut teh a duem maw. Ka dei e hah nang koe a kuep hoi kuep hoeh e na panue han doeh telah a ti.
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.
Hahoi Mosi a tâco teh, BAWIPA lawk hah taminaw pueng koe a dei pouh. Tamihu kacuenaw 70 touh hah a kaw teh, lukkareiim petkâkalup lah a kangdue sak
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.
Hahoi BAWIPA teh tâmai dawk a kum teh a pato. Ahni koe kaawm e muitha hah kacuenaw 70 touh lathueng vah a ta. Ahnimouh tak dawk muitha a pha teh, Lawk a pâpho awh. Hot patetlah ouk sak awh boihoeh ei nan toung mah.
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).
Hatei, roenae hmuen koe tami kahni touh pou ao. Buet touh e a min teh Eldad doeh. Alouk buet touh e min teh Medad doeh, Muitha hah ahnimouh koe ao. Touk e naw dawk ka bawk awh e eiteh, kamkhuengnae lukkareiim koe cet vah hoeh. Roenae hmuen koe lawk hah a pâpho roi.
27 So a young man ran and told Moses/me, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in all their tents!”
Hahoi thoundoun buet touh a yawng teh Mosi koe a dei pouh teh, Eldad hoi Medad ni lawk teh pâpho lahun telah atipouh.
28 Joshua, who had helped Moses/me since he was a young man, said, “Sir, tell them to stop doing that!”
Nun capa Joshua a nawsai lahoi yah. Mosi thaw ka tawk pouh e ni a pathung teh, ka bawipa Mosi ahnimouh hah ngang haw ati pouh.
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!”
Mosi ni ahni koe, kai na dipma e na ou. BAWIPA ni taminaw pueng heh profet lah koung awm naseh, BAWIPA ni ahnimouh lathueng muitha hah ahnimouh van tat pouh naseh ka tie nahoehmaw.
30 Then Moses/I and all the leaders went back to their/our tents.
Hahoi Mosi teh ama hoi Isarel a lungkahanaw hoi roenae hmuen koe a ban awh.
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!
Hahoi BAWIPA koehoi kahlî a tho teh, talî koe lahoi tamuem hrut a palek pouh teh roenae rim avangvanglah hoi hnin touh lamcei reira dawk dong hni touh ka rasang lahoi a pabo pouh.
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].
Hot patetlah tamimaya ni karum tuettuet kanîruirui a tangtho kanîruirui tamuem teh a racawng awh. Kayounpoung ka racawng e ni hai Homer 10 touh a racawng awh (homer teh ephah hra touh, 220 liters a cawng). Rim pueng koe amamouh hane lengkaleng a vaw awh.
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].
Hatei moi teh a la awh lahun nah, be a ca awh hoehnahlan tamimaya lathueng BAWIPA e lungkhueknae a kâan teh, tamimaya koe takikatho poung e lacik hoi BAWIPA ni a rek awh.
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’].
Hote hmuen teh a min Kiborthhattaavah telah ati. Bangkongtetpawiteh, haw vah, takthaingainae katawnnaw hah a pakawp awh.
35 From there, the Israelis continued walking [east] until they arrived at Hazeroth [town], where they stopped and stayed [for a long time].
Kiborthhattaavah koehoi tamihupui teh Hazeroth lah a pâtam awh teh Hazeroth a roe awh.
