Minbu 20

1 Hiche kum lha masa pen chun Israel mite Zin gamthip ahin jon tauvin Kadesh muna akichol do uvin, hikom muna akicholdo laitah un Miriam chu athi’n hiche muna chun avui tauve.

THEN came the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, into the desert of Zin in the first month: and the people abode in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there.

2 Hiche muna chun Twidon ding aum tah lou jeh chun mipi ho chu Mose le Aaron dounan akiphin kit tauvin ahi.

And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.

3 Mipi ho chun Mose themmo achan un, hitin asei tauvin gamthip lah achun Pathen masanga ka sopite ho toh ana thi khom taleu veng ka nom uve, atiuve.

And the people chode with Moses, and spake, saying, Would God that we had died when our brethren died before the Lord!

4 Mose’n hiche Pathen chate mi hi jat hi gamthip golah’a athi chai kei ding’a keiho le ka gancha te’u neipuiyu ham, tin asei uve.

And why have ye brought up the congregation of the Lord into this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there?

5 Ipi dinga Egypt gamma kona chu nei hin pui doh uham hi tobang gam leiset chavei tah mun ahi atiuve. Hiche leiset gam pheng ahin agasoh jong aumpon, Olive thei, Kolbu thei chule lengpi thei chang jong umlou chu leh tui donding jong imacha aum poi tin asei un ahi.

And wherefore have ye made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in unto this evil place? it is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither is there any water to drink.

6 Mose le Aaron chu mipi holah akon in aki nunghei lhon tan, houbuh maicham jotna lamma chun ahin nai lhon tai, hichun amani chu tolgo lamma amai aphul lut lhon in chu in Pathen mailhaisel kidang tah chu amani heng lamah ahung kilang doh tai.

And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon their faces: and the glory of the Lord appeared unto them.

7 Chu in Pakaiyin Mose heng’a hiti hin aseijin ahi.

And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

8 Nang le Aaron in na tenggol chu na choi lhon ding Israel mipi chu aboncha nakhop tup ding, mipi hon na um chan, na khan chan avet ding’u, songpi chu na thu’a na nunsah’a na koudoh tho ding ahi. Chu teng tui don ding hung put doh ding ahi. Nangman song chunga patna tui mipi te don ding kham na putdoh sah ding, mipi jouse chu na don va sah cheh diu ahi.

Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink.

9 Chuin Pakaiyin asei bang chun Mose’n jong atenggol chu alan song chu ajep jeng tan ahi.

And Moses took the rod from before the Lord, as he commanded him.

10 Hichun Mose le Aaron chun mipi chu songpi kom langa ding in akou lhon tan, Mose’n hitin asam tan, ngaijun sei ngailou milouchal ho ati tai. Songpi akonna hi tui kapot doh sah tei ding ahi tai tin asam in ahi.

And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?

11 Mose’n akhotna tenggol chu adom sang in songpi chu nivei ajep khum tan ahileh tuijel chu ahung long doh tai. Hichun mipi jouse ahin gancha jouse’n jong adonva soh keitau vin ahi.

And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also.

12 Ahinlah Pathen in Mose le Aaron jah’a aseijin nangni’n nei tah san lhon hi alhing jou tapoi, Israel mipi hi ka themna na musah jou ta poi keiman ka tep pehnau gam leiset geija chu na puilut lou ding ahi tai, ati.

And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.

13 Hiche mun hi Meribah akisah tan, ajeh chu Israel mite Pathen toh ana kinielkal un ahin hiche lai muntah ahin Pathen thenna chu a kilang doh deh in ahi.

This is the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the Lord, and he was sanctified in them.

14 Mose’n kadesh a um laitah in Edom lengpa hiche thuchang hohi kahin seinom ahije nasopi Israel mitin hitobang nga gim genthei ka hin thoh u ahitai.

And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom, Thus saith thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the travail that hath befallen us:

15 Ipateu Iputeu mi sagi phung lamkai ho Egypt gam lang nga ana kholjin un phat sottah jing jong ana khosa tauvin, pate puteho jouse Egypt miten ana suh gam tahval uchu tin aseiye.

How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have dwelt in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians vexed us, and our fathers:

16 Ahinlah keihon Pathen henglam kakou’un-ka mao-mao phat un Pakai, Pathen amatah tah’in eijah peh phat uva avantil eihin sol peh’uva Egypt a konna eihin pui doh’u ahi.

And when we cried unto the Lord, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and hath brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border:

17 Lungset tah in nagam sungah nei chensah un, keiho chingthei tah’a lam kajot diu mim le lengpi thei lah akapal lou diu ahi. Natui khuh uva twi jing jong kadon palou diu, keiho lengpa lamlen lang bou kache diu, mundang-achom lang kaho pa lou diu ahitai. Hichu nagam leiset kada lhah kah sungse uva ding ahi.

Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy country: we will not pass through the fields, or through the vineyards, neither will we drink of the water of the wells: we will go by the king’s high way, we will not turn to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy borders.

18 Ahinlah Edom lengpan hitin adon but in asei tai, keima leiset gamsunga kon in kikhin doh un ahiloule keima galsat hotoh iki muto diu ahi, ati.

And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword.

19 Israelten hitin adonbut un keima ho se vang lamlen pamma che ding ka hiuve. Keiho ka bong, kakelcha teu le ganca dang dang ho tui donding aum tapon, hijeh chun nagam na leiset’u nei ho pah sah un, hiche bou chu kathum nom u ahi bouve tin aseiye.

And the children of Israel said unto him, We will go by the high way: and if I and my cattle drink of thy water, then I will pay for it: I will only, without doing any thing else, go through on my feet.

20 Amavang Edom leng pan hitin ahin donbut tai. Kikhin doh un keima leiset gamsung na hopa thei lou diu ahi. Hiche ahou lim jou chun a galsat hotoh lam ajot nun Israel mite chu ano taovin ahi

And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand.

21 Edom in Israel te lam jot na ding phalna ahin peh tahlou jeh in a gam sung leiset’u hopa thei ahitah lou jeh in Israel mite nomphun a louthei lou va kinung le din ache tauve.

Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border: wherefore Israel turned away from him.

22 Israel mipi chu Kadesh apat’nin aki nung le un Hor molsang chu ahin jon tauve.

And the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, journeyed from Kadesh, and came unto mount Hor.

23 Chuin Edom gam ning lam ah chun Pathen in Mose le Aaron ahoulim pitan ahi.

And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the coast of the land of Edom, saying,

24 Phat ahung chal bang in Aaron akicholdo phat apetai apute ho chu toh Aaron hi keiman katep peh nagam Israelte chenna ding kiti lhung lou chu Mose le Aaron’n in ka thuseina ngai lhonpon twi jeh in na phun lhon tai ati.

Aaron shall be gathered unto his people: for he shall not enter into the land which I have given unto the children of Israel, because ye rebelled against my word at the water of Meribah.

25 Tun Aaron le Eleazer chu Hor molsang lam ah pui touvin, aum lhon tai.

Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto mount Hor:

26 Hiche muna chu nangman Eleazer themgao von chu na sut lhah peh a Eleazer chapa chu na kiah sah ding ahi. Hilai muntah a chu Aaron chu thi den ding ahi tai.

And strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son: and Aaron shall be gathered unto his people, and shall die there.

27 Hichun Mose’n Pathen in a seipeh bang tah chun abollin Amaho thumchu Hor molchung lam ah akal tou tauve. Israel mipi chun amaho umchan chu akhol chil kit nun ahi.

And Moses did as the Lord commanded: and they went up into mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.

28 Molchung ah chun Mose chun Aaron thempu von kang chu asut lhah peh in Eleazer le Aaron chapa chung ah chun akoi peh tai. Hilai munah chun Aaron chu athi den tan Mose le Eleazer chu ahung kinung le lhon tai.

And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there in the top of the mount: and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mount.

29 Mipi chun Aaron thi chu aja tauvin Israel miten ni somthum jen alunghempi taovin ahi.

And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they mourned for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.
