Numbers 14
1 That night all the community wept loudly.
To aqum naah kaminawk loe tha hoi hangh o moe, qah o.
2 All the people of Israel criticized Moses and Aaron. The whole community said to them, “We wish we had died in the land of Egypt, or here in this wilderness!
Israel kaminawk boih mah Mosi hoi Aaron to laisaep o thuih, Izip prae ah maw, to tih ai boeh loe praezaek ah duek halat nahaeloe hoih han to mah!
3 Why did Yahweh bring us to this land to die by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will become victims. Is it not better for us to return to Egypt?”
Tikhoe aicae loe sumsen hoiah a duek o moe, aicae ih zu caanawk minawk mah lomh hanah, Angraeng mah hae prae ah caeh haih loe? Izip prae ah amlaem let nahaeloe, hoikhang tih, tiah nihnik khaeah thuih pae o.
4 They said to each another, “Let us choose another leader, and let us return to Egypt.”
To naah angmacae hoi angmacae zaehoikung to qoi o si loe, Izip prae ah amlaem o let si, tiah a thuih o.
5 Then Moses and Aaron lay facedown before all the assembly of the community of the people of Israel.
Mosi hoi Aaron mah to ah amkhueng Israel kaminawk boih hma ah, long ah akuep pae hoi.
6 Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, who were some of those sent to examine the land, tore their clothes.
Kanaan prae khet han kacaeh, Nun capa Joshua hoi Jephunneh capa Kaleb loe, angmah hnik ih kahni to angkhring hoi pacoengah,
7 They spoke to all the community of the people of Israel. They said, “The land that we passed through and examined is a very good land.
to ah amkhueng Israel kaminawk boih khaeah, a caeh o moe, a khet o ih prae loe hoih parai.
8 If Yahweh is pleased with us, then he will take us into this land and give it to us. The land flows with milk and honey.
Angraeng mah aicae nuiah palung tongh nahaeloe, tahnutui hoi khoitui longhaih prae thungah, aicae na caeh haih ueloe, hae prae hae aicae han na paek tih.
9 But do not rebel against Yahweh, and do not fear the people in the land, for they are bread to us. Their protection will be removed from them, because Yahweh is with us. Do not fear them.”
Angraeng nuiah laisaep o hmah loe, to ih prae kaminawk to zii o hmah; nihcae loe a caak o han koi takaw ah ni oh o; nihcae loe angvaenghaih tawn o ai; Angraeng loe aicae hoi nawnto oh; nihcae to zii o hmah, tiah a naa hoi.
10 Then all the congregation said to stone them with stones. But the glory of Yahweh appeared at the tent of meeting to all the people of Israel.
Toe kaminawk mah nihnik to thlung hoiah vah han thuih o; to naah Angraeng lensawkhaih Israel kaminawk amkhuenghaih kahni imthung ah phak.
11 Yahweh said to Moses, “How long must this people despise me? How long must they fail to trust me, despite all the signs of my power that I have done among them?
Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah, Hae kaminawk mah nasetto maw palung na phui o sak tih? Nihcae khaeah ka sak ih dawnrai hmuen to a hnuk o boeh; toe nasetto maw hae kaminawk mah kai tang ai ah om o vop tih?
12 I will attack them with plague, disinherit them, and make from your own clan a nation that will be greater and mightier than they are.”
Nihcae nuiah kasae nathaih ka phaksak han, qawk doeh ka toepsak mak ai; toe nihcae pong kalen kue, thacak kue acaeng ah nang to kang sak han, tiah a naa.
13 Moses said to Yahweh, “If you do this, then the Egyptians will hear about it, because you rescued this people from them by your power.
Mosi mah Angraeng khaeah, To tiah nahaeloe, Na thacakhaih hoiah hae kaminawk hae na zaehhoih, tiah Izip kaminawk mah panoek o tih boeh;
14 They will tell it to this land's inhabitants. They have heard that you, Yahweh, are present with this people, because you are seen face to face. Your cloud stands over our people. You go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and in a pillar of fire by night.
to naah nihcae mah hae prae ah kaom kaminawk khaeah hae tamthang hae thui pae o tih; Angraeng, nang loe hae kaminawk hoi nawnto na oh, Angraeng, nang to mikhmai kangtong ah a hnuk o boeh; nang ih tamai loe nihcae nuiah angdoet moe, nang loe nihcae hma ah na caeh; khodai ah nihcae to tamai hoiah na zaeh moe, khoving ah hmaithaw hoiah na caeh haih.
15 Now if you kill this people as one man, then the nations that have heard of your fame will speak and say,
Hae kaminawk boih hae kami maeto baktiah vaihi na dueksak nahaeloe, nang ih tamthang thaih acaengnawk mah loe,
16 'Because Yahweh could not take this people into the land that he swore to give them, he has killed them in the wilderness.'
Angraeng mah to kaminawk khaeah prae to kang paek han, tiah lokkamhaih a sak pae; toe anih mah to prae thungah caeh haih thai ai pongah, praezaek ah a hum boih, tiah thui o tih.
17 Now, I beg you, use your great power. For you have said,
Na thuih ih lok baktih toengah, vaihiah ka Angraeng thacakhaih to len nasoe,
18 'Yahweh is slow to anger and abundant in covenant faithfulness. He forgives iniquity and transgression. He will by no means clear the guilty when he brings the punishment of the ancestors' sin on their descendants, to the third and fourth generation.'
Angraeng loe palungsawk, amlunghaih hoiah koi moe, zaehaih hoi sakpazaehaihnawk to tahmen pae; toe zaehaih sah kami loe thuitaek ai ah om ai; anih loe ampanawk zaehaih pongah adung thum, adung pali karoek to a caanawk thuitaekkung ah oh.
19 Pardon, I plead with you, this people's sin because of the greatness of your covenant faithfulness, just as you have always forgiven this people from the time they were in Egypt until now.”
Kalen parai na palungnathaih rang hoiah, Izip prae thung hoi kamtong vaihni ni khoek to hae kaminawk hae na tahmen baktih toengah, hae kaminawk zaehaih doeh tahmen raeh, tiah a naa.
20 Yahweh said, “I have pardoned them in keeping with your request,
Angraeng mah, Nang hnik ih lok baktih toengah, kang tahmen boeh;
21 but truly, as I live, and as all the earth will be filled with my glory,
toe kai ka hing tangtang baktih toengah, longpum ah Angraeng lensawkhaih to koi tih.
22 all those people who saw my glory and the signs of power that I did in Egypt and in the wilderness—they have still tempted me these ten times and have not listened to my voice.
Izip prae hoi praezaek ah ka sak ih lensawkhaih hoi dawnrai hmuennawk hnu kaminawk boih mah ka lok hae tahngai o ai, vai hato Kai ang tanoek o pongah,
23 So I say that they will certainly not see the land about which I made an oath to their ancestors. Not one of them who despised me will see it,
ampanawk khaeah paek han tiah lokkam ih prae to mi mah doeh hnu o mak ai; kai palungphuisak kawbaktih kami mah doeh to prae to hnu o mak ai.
24 except for my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit. He has followed me fully; I will bring him into the land which he went to examine. His descendants will possess it.
Toe ka tamna Kaleb loe, kalah poekhaih pakhra to tawnh moe, palungthin boih hoiah kai ang bang pongah, anih to a caehhaih prae thungah ka hoih han; anih ih caanawk mah prae to toep o tih.
25 (Now the Amalekites and Canaanites lived in the valley.) Tomorrow turn and go to the wilderness by the way of the Sea of Reeds.”
Amalek hoi Kanaan kaminawk loe azawn ah khosak o; khawnbang ah amlaem oh loe, tuipui kathim bang hoiah praezaek ah caeh oh, tiah a naa.
26 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron. He said,
Angraeng mah Mosi hoi Aaron khaeah,
27 “How long must I tolerate this evil community that criticizes me? I have heard the complaining of the people of Israel against me.
ka lok to aek moe, laisaep hae ih kasae kaminawk hae nasetto maw ka pauep han vop? Israel kaminawk mah kasae ang thuih o moe, kai laisaep thuihaih lok to ka thaih boeh.
28 Say to them, 'As I live,' says Yahweh, 'as you have spoken in my hearing, I will do this to you:
Nihcae khaeah, Kai ka hing pongah, ka naa ah nang thuih o ih baktih toengah, ka sak han, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
29 Your dead bodies will fall in this wilderness, all you who complained against me, you who were counted in the census, the whole number of the people from twenty years old and upward.
Na kroek o ih nangmacae kaminawk boih thungah, kai laisaep thuih, saning pumphaeto hoi ranuih bang kaminawk loe praezaek ah dueh o tih.
30 You will certainly not go into the land that I promised to make your home, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.
Jephunneh capa Kaleb hoi Nun capa Joshua khue ai ah loe, ban ka payangh moe, ohsak hanah lok ka kam ih prae thungah mi doeh akun o mak ai.
31 But your little ones who you said would be victims, I will take them into the land. They will experience the land that you have rejected!
Misa mah lomh ving tih, tiah na thuih o ih na caanawk to kai mah ka zaeh han, nangcae mah na khet patoek o ih prae to nihcae mah panoek o tih.
32 As for you, your dead bodies will fall in this wilderness.
Toe nangcae loe hae praezaek ah na dueh o ueloe, qok doeh pong sut tih.
33 Your children will be shepherds in the wilderness for forty years. They must bear the consequences of your acts of rebellion until the end of your corpses in the wilderness.
Nangcae loe oepthok ah kho na sah o ai pongah, praezaek ah nangcae ih qok to pong sut boih ai karoek to, na caanawk loe saning qui palito thung praezaek ah amhet o tih.
34 Just as the number of the days during which you examined the land—forty days, you must likewise bear the consequences of your sins for forty years—one year for every day, and you must know what it is like for me to oppose you.
Prae pakrong hanah ni qui palito akra baktih toengah, nito hae saningto ah suem oh, na sak o ih zaehaih atho baktih toengah, saning qui palito thung patang na khang o tih; to naah ka lok aekhaih atho to na panoek o tih, tiah a naa.
35 I, Yahweh, have spoken. I will certainly do this to all this evil community that is gathered together against me. They will be completely cut off, and here they will die.'”
Kai, Angraeng mah lokthuih boeh; kai ih lok aek hanah nawnto amkhueng, kahoih ai hae kaminawk nuiah, hae hmuen hae ka sak tangtang han; nihcae loe hae praezaek ah amro o ueloe, dueh o tih, tiah a naa.
36 So the men Moses sent to spy out the land, who returned and made the entire community grumble against Moses by spreading a bad report about the land—
To pongah prae khet hanah Mosi mah patoeh ih kaminawk amlaem o pacoengah, a khet o ih prae loe hoih ai, tiah amkhueng kaminawk hmaa ah laisaep thuih kaminawk,
37 these men who had brought out a bad report about the land were struck down, and they died of a plague before Yahweh.
kanaan prae loe hoih ai tiah thui kaminawk loe, Angraeng hmaa ah kasae nathaih mah phak thuih moe, duek o.
38 Of those men who had gone to spy out the land, only Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh remained alive.
Prae khet han kacaeh kaminawk boih thungah, Nun capa Joshua hoi Jephunneh capa Kaleb hnik khue ni hing hoi.
39 When Moses reported these words to all the people of Israel, they mourned very deeply.
To lok to Mosi mah Israel kaminawk khaeah thuih pae naah, kaminawk loe paroeai hangh o.
40 They rose up early in the morning and went to the top of the mountain and said, “Look, we are here, and we will go to the place that Yahweh has promised, for we have sinned.”
Khawnbang khawnthaw ah angthawk o moe, mae nuiah caeh o; khenah, a zae o boeh; toe Angraeng mah lokkam ih ahmuen ah caeh o si, tiah a thuih o.
41 But Moses said, “Why are you now violating Yahweh's command? You will not succeed.
Toe Mosi mah, Tipongah vaihi Angraeng mah paek ih lok to na tahngai o ai loe? Hae tiah na sak o nahaeloe na qoeng o thai mak ai.
42 Do not go, because Yahweh is not with you to prevent you from being defeated by your enemies.
Nangcae khaeah Angraeng om ai pongah, caeh o tahang hmah; na caeh o nahaeloe misanawk to na pazawk o mak ai.
43 The Amalekites and Canaanites are there, and you will die by the sword because you turned back from following Yahweh. So he will not be with you.”
Amalek hoi Kanaan kaminawk loe, nangcae hma ah oh o boeh pongah, nangcae loe sumsen hoiah na dueh o tih; nangcae mah Angraeng to nang qoi o taak boeh pongah, nangcae khaeah Angraeng om mak ai boeh, tiah a naa.
44 But they presumed to go up into the hill country; however, neither Moses nor the ark of the covenant of Yahweh left the camp.
Toe Mosi hoi Angraeng ih thingkhong loe, ataihaih ahmuen to caehtaak ai; toe nihcae loe palungthah o pongah, mae nuiah caeh o nganga.
45 Then the Amalekites came down, and also the Canaanites who lived on those hills. They attacked the Israelites and defeated them all the way to Hormah.
To naah to mae nuiah kaom, Amalek hoi Kanaan kaminawk anghum o tathuk moe, Israel kaminawk to tuk o, nihcae to pazawk o pacoengah, Hormah vangpui khoek to patom o.
