All the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.
2 Hiche mipi awgin lakisa chu akithong jing in Mose le Aaron douna kibol ahin Egypt gamah ana thidoh kihi le pha jonte tin asam uve.
All the children of Israel [God prevails] murmured against Moses [Drawn out] and against Aaron [Light-bringer]. The whole congregation said to them, “We wish that we had died in the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], or that we had died in this wilderness!
3 Pakaiyin hilang gam lah ahi eipui doh jing’u ham gal’a thi bep dinga ka jite hou numei chapang jaona athigam bep dinga Egypt gamsunga konna nei hin puidoh u ham tin asei uve.
Why does Adonai bring us to this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will be captured or killed! Wouldn’t it be better for us to teshuvah ·completely return· into Egypt [Abode of slavery]?”
4 Hi chun Amaho khat le khat aki hou khom mun eihon lamkai thah lheng u hitin Egypt lamah kinung le tauhite tin akihou lim tauvin ahi.
They said to one another, “Let us make a captain, and let us teshuvah ·completely return· into Egypt [Abode of slavery].”
5 Hichun Mose le Aaron chu Israel mite jouse masang tol lang ngan akun lha lhon tan ahi.
Then Moses [Drawn out] and Aaron [Light-bringer] fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel [God prevails].
6 Pasal mini gam kholla che teni chu Nun chapa Joshua le Jephanneh chapa Caleb chun aponsil lhon abotkeh lhon tai.
Joshua [Salvation Yah] the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were of those who spied out the land, tore their clothes.
7 Ama nin Israel mipi teho lah’a asei lhon tan, keini’n ka khol chil lhon gam ho chu ki dang tah le loupi tah ahiye, tin asei lhon’e.
They spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel [God prevails], saying, “The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceeding good land.
8 Chule Pathen hi eiho dinga hiche gamsung khu eiphatsah peh uva ahi tan Pakai chun agamsunga ei pui lut diu, khoiju le bongnoi lonna gam ahiye.
If Adonai delights in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it to us; a land which flows with milk and honey.
9 Pakai chu douhih un, chule hiche gamsunga chengte jong kicha hih un. Eiho a ding in amaho khu apanpi ding umlou anchah a pang tobangbep ahiuve! Avengtup ding aneipouve, Pathen thahat chungnung aum in aman abanthahat in ei panpi jing diu ahiye.
Only don’t rebel against Adonai, neither fear the people of the land; for they are bread for us. Their defense is removed from over them, and Adonai is with us. Don’t fear them.”
10 Amavang Mipi jouse chu Joshua le Caleb chu songa se lih ding agong tauvin Pakai, Pathen loupina chungnung chu Israelte chunga ahung kitah lang tan houbuh thingkong chu ahung kilah tan ahi.
But all the congregation threatened to stone them with stones. The kavod Yahweh ·weighty glory of He sustains breathing· appeared in the Tent of Meeting to all the children of Israel [God prevails].
11 Chu in Pathen in Mose chu a houlimpi tan itih chan hiche Israel mite hin donlou nahsah louva eikoi diu hitam? Thet-um tah thil ki dang tampi aboldoh tauvin ahi.
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “How long will this people despise me? and how long will they not believe in me, for all the signs which I have worked among them?
12 Keiman amaho chu ka kihet mosah ding chule ka suh mang ding ahiuve. Ahinlah keiman nangma mihat tah ka so ding, Amaho sanga hat jo phajo ka so ding na hi, ati.
I will strike them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of you a nation greater and mightier than they.”
13 Ahin lah Mose vang chu anom pon a lung phamo lheh in Egypt miten ipi agel diuvem hiche thil um dan ahin het teng ule Mose’n Pathen chu adong tan Egypte ahat soh hel lin nangma tha hatna Israel mite na hin pui doh’a Egypt apat na hung sohchat’u ahiye.
Moses [Drawn out] said to Adonai, “Then the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] will sh'ma ·hear obey· it; for you brought up this people in your might from among them.
14 Pakai, Pathen nangma tun hiche Israel mite hi na suhmang le Egypt miten agamma cheng ho lah’a alhut diu, nangma toh kimai to ahiuvin chule jan teng meikonga napui jun sun teng meilhang in na pui jiuve.
They will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· that you Adonai are in the middle of this people; for you Adonai are seen face to face, and your cloud stands over them, and you go before them, in a pillar of cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night.
15 Pakai nangman amaho hi ilou theh a nasuh mang leh hiche nam mite na puidan kidang tah ana hesa nam mite chun, sei uvintin,
Now if you killed this people as one man, then the nations which have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· the fame of you will speak, saying,
16 Pakaiyin Amaho chu a suhgam na ajeh chu atep peh na’u gamsung chu apui lhung jou tahlou jeh ahi ati diu ahi.
‘Because Adonai was not able to bring this people into the land which he swore to them, therefore he has slain them in the wilderness.’
17 Pakaiyin nangma boltheina natoh chu jom in vetsah kit in. Pakai nangma in kiphong doh kit inlang,
Now please let the power of the Lord be great, according as you have spoken, saying,
18 Pakai, Pathen hi lung neng tah lunghang vahlou chuleh ngailutna dim jing chonset ngaidam them ahin suhkhel neite angaidam jing Pakai hi chonsetna ho ngaidam themji ahi kiti chu musah in.
‘Adonai is slow to anger, and abundant in cheshed ·loving-kindness·, forgiving iniquity and disobedience; and that will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation.’
19 Ngaidam min hiche mite chonset nahi keima Mose ka taona nei ngai peh inlang nami hepina leh ngailutna jal’a nangman hiche mite Egypt apatna na hin ngaidam jing sa bang chun.
Please pardon the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of your cheshed ·loving-kindness·, and according as you have forgiven this people, from Egypt [Abode of slavery] even until now.”
20 Hichun Mose chu Pathen in ahin houlim pitan nangma thusei dung juiyin ka ngaidam tai, ati.
Adonai said, “I have pardoned according to your word:
21 Tahbeh’a kasei ahi Keima hingjing Pathen chu kahi jeh in vannoi Leiset hi ka loupina dimset jing ding ahi.
but in very deed, as I live, and as all the earth shall be filled with the kavod Yahweh ·weighty glory of He sustains breathing·;
22 Hiche Israel chate ho lah’a hi koima jong katep peh gam lhung jou talou diu ahi. Ajeh chu Amaho jousen ka loupina chu ahetsoh hel’u ahin, chule thil kidang tah melchihna Egypt gam’a jong ka bol lin chule gamthip lah’a jong ka bol lin ahin lah amahon tun avel lin ima lou tah in awgin sangtah in asam un, aki phin uvin ahi.
because all those men who have seen my glory, and my signs, which I worked in Egypt [Abode of slavery] and in the wilderness, yet have tempted me these ten times, and have not sh'ma ·heard obeyed· my voice;
23 Keiman apute apateu ka teppihna gam chu a amu lou beh diu, Amaho lah’a koi tobang eidou dal ho jouse chu imacha amu lou beh ding ahi.
surely they shall not see the land which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any of those who despised me see it.
24 Ahin lah ka lhachapa Caleb vang hi midang hotoh alungel’a kibah louna aum in Caleb hin hom tho tah’in eihou jing in hi ti ahijeh achu agam kholna muna chu ka pui lhung tei ding ahi, Caleb le achilhahte jouse hiche gam chu aboncha a alo soh hel diu ahi.
But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and has followed me fully, him I will bring into the land into which he went. His offspring shall possess it.
25 Tun nangma ki nunghei tan, nangman Amalek teho, Canan miteho chenna lang chu na jot lou beh ding, jing teng nangma kipat doh in gamthip lam nama no ding ahi, ati.
Since the Amalekite [Descendant of Man who licks up] and the Canaanite [Descendant of Humbled] dwell in the valley, tomorrow turn, and go into the wilderness by the way to the Sea of Suf [Reed Sea].”
26 Hichun Pakaiyin Mose le Aaron henga hiti hin aseiyin ahi.
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out] and to Aaron [Light-bringer], saying,
27 Itihchan hiche migilou namho toh hin ka chenkhom’a ka umpi jing ding ham? Kipah lou lunglhai louva ka chung’a aum jing uhin ipi avetsah hi tantem, ati.
“How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, that murmur against me? I have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· the murmurings of the children of Israel [God prevails], which they murmur against me.
28 Tun amaho chu seipeh un. Keima hi Pathen ka hin ka umjing in nangma na sei doh na geldoh lou chu ka bol peh ding na hi tauve.
Tell them, ‘As I live, says Adonai, surely as you have spoken in my ears, so will I do to you.
29 Nangho gamthipma thiden ding nahi tauve, ka chunga lungkim louna na neitah jeh un kum som nia pat chunglam sen thina ato ding ahi, ati.
Your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness; and all who were counted of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, who have murmured against me,
30 Katepna gamsung na lo tahlou diu, Caleb, Jephanneth chapa chule amani Joshua, Nun chapa amani bou chun alo lhon ding ahi.
surely you shall not come into the land, concerning which I swore that I would make you dwell therein, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua [Salvation Yah] the son of Nun.
31 Ahinlah nachate khangthah ho nanghon mi thagam ding bep a na gel hou chu keiman ka panpi ding agam leiset na deimo sau gam chu a toupha diu ahi.
But your little ones, that you said should be captured or killed, them I will bring in, and they shall know the land which you have rejected.
32 Amavang nangho jouse na thilong uchu hiche gamthip nelgam ahi kivui lhum ding ahi tai.
But as for you, your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness.
33 Na chate ho nachilhah hou vang hikom gam thip lah’a kum somli-le-li gei kelngoi chinga pang ding ahi tauve. Hi tobang’a chu nanghon nalou chalna hou na mu diu hiche nelgam ahi na thi soh heldiu ahiye.
Your children shall be wanderers in the wilderness forty years, and shall bear your prostitution, until your dead bodies are consumed in the wilderness.
34 Ijeh inem itileh, na lamkai hon ni somli jen lutna gam leiset kholla cheuva ahin na chonset jeh’a kisuh genthei ding na hitai nikhat lampi chu kum somli jen na jot ding u ahi tai. Hiche teng chule nanghon Pathen toh melma a umhi itobang’a hahsa ham ti nahet doh diu ahi.
After the number of the days in which you spied out the land, even forty days, for every day a year, you will bear your iniquities, even forty years, and you will know my alienation.’
35 Keima Pakai, Pathen kahin na ka hin toh pan ding ahi tai hiche mipi ho lah’a eidou’a pang jing ho chu hikom nelgam ma hi suh gentheiya umdiu chule amaho chu a hinkho kicha soh hel diu ahi.
I, Adonai, have spoken. I will surely do this to all this evil congregation, who are gathered together against me. In this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.”
36 Pasal som ho lah’a Mose gam velhi dinga asol ho lah’a ami khat Pathen douna ana tong gopa chu ahi.
The men, whom Moses [Drawn out] sent to spy out the land, who teshuvah ·completely returned·, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up an evil report against the land,
37 Pathen henga amapa chu pul in athi tai.
even those men who brought up an evil report of the land, died by the plague before Adonai.
38 Gam kholchin lah’a pasal somle ni ahiuvin amaho lah achu Joshua le Caleb bou asoh cha uvin ahi.
But Joshua [Salvation Yah] the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, remained alive of those men who went to spy out the land.
39 Mose’n Pathen thu cheng seidoh jouse chu Israel ho lah a asei peh phat chun mipi ho chun nopma asah thei lheh jeng un ahi.
Moses [Drawn out] told these words to all the children of Israel [God prevails], and the people mourned greatly.
40 Amaho chu a Jing nikho in, jingkah matah in aki thou un mol chungvum laitah a akaldoh un, aki hou uvin, Pathen douna a chonset natoh ibol doh’u ahitai, tun vang Pakai jin ei teppeh na’u gam chu jon tauhite aki tiuve.
They rose up early in the morning, and went up to the top of the mountain, saying, “Behold, we are here, and will go up to the place which Adonai has promised: for we have sinned.”
41 Ahinlah Mose’n a donbut in ibola nangho Pathen thupeh palkeh dia na got uva, Gamthip gam a kile ding na kisah u baham?
Moses [Drawn out] said, “Why are you disobeying the order of Adonai? You shall not succeed!
42 Tun nanghon hiche gam-tep gam lam’a lut ding jong got datauvin, na melmateu khut ah gamlha bepseu un nate, Ajeh chu Pathen in na kithopi louhel diu ahitai.
Don’t go up, for Adonai is not among you; that you not be struck down before your enemies.
43 Nanghon Amalek mite le Cannan mite na ki dinte pi teng uleh amahon na tha gamhel lo diu ahi tai. Ajeh chu ama nana dalhah tah jeh uva, Pathen in nang ho jong na dalhah’u ahitai.
For there the Amalekite [Descendant of Man who licks up] and the Canaanite [Descendant of Humbled] are before you, and you shall fall by the sword, because you turned back from following Adonai, therefore Adonai will not be with you.”
44 Hinlah mipin atum tentun uvin, Mose jong pang lou, Pakai thingkong jong jao talou hel in, aki tol uvin thinglhang lam chu ama no tauve.
But they presumed to go up to the top of the mountain. Nevertheless, the ark of Adonai’s covenant and Moses [Drawn out] didn’t depart out of the camp.
45 Hichun thing lhang molchung lamma pansa ho chu Amalek mite leh Canaan miten ahin bulhu tauvin, hiti chun Hormah chan ahin del tauvin ahi.
Then the Amalekites [Descendants of Man who licks up] came down, and the Canaanites [Descendants of Humbled] who lived in that mountain, and struck them and beat them down, even to Hormah.
