¹HUCHIIN omkhawmte tengteng aw suak hialin a kap ua; huai janin mite a kapkap uhi.

¹And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.

²Israel suante tengteng Mosi tung leh Aron tungah a phun ua: omkhawmte tengtengin a kiang uah, Aigupta gamah pathianin honhihlum geih hileh aw! Ahihkeileh gamdai ah honna hihlum geih hileh aw!

²And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness!

³Bangachia namsaua si maimah dinga Pathianin hiai gama honpi ahi de aw? I ji I tate lah mat maimah ding ahi ngal ua: Aigupta gama kik nawn eia dia hoihzo lou ding hia? a chi ua.

³And wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt?

⁴Huchiin a kihou khawm ua, Heutu bawl ni e, Aigupta gamah kik nawn ni, a chi ua.

⁴And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.

⁵Huchiin Mosi leh Aron Israel suante mipi omkhawm tengteng maah a khupboh uh.

⁵Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.

⁶Huan, Nun tapa Josua leh Jephune tapa Kaleb, gam vaenkhete laka telten a puan uh a botkek ua:

⁶And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes:

⁷Israel suante omkhawm tengteng kiangah, Enkhe dinga ka vavakna gam uh gam hoihtak ahi.

⁷And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land.

⁸I tung ua TOUPA a kipah leh huai gamah a honpi ding, honpe ding: huai nawitui leh khuaiju luanna gam.

⁸If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey.

⁹TOUPA tungah hel kei phot leu chin, huai gama mite leng lau samkei un, I an ding uh ahi mai ua, a kihumbitna uh bangmah ahi kei; TOUPA I kiang uah a om hi, amau kihta kei un, chiin a gen uh.

⁹Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defense is departed from them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not.

¹⁰Himahleh omkhawmte tengtengin suanga den a sawm uh. Huchiin TOUPA thupina kihoupihna puanin Israel suante tengteng maah a honglangta hi.

¹⁰But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And the glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before all the children of Israel.

¹¹Huchiin TOUPAN Mosi kiangah, Hiai mipiten bangtan ahia honthuseh louh dina ua, a lak ua chiamtehna ka hih sek nangawna leng bangtan ahia hontaksan sin louh uh?

¹¹And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have showed among them?

¹²Hiin ka gawt dinga, ka in-gam sak dinga, nangmah ah a sang ua thupi leh thilhihthei jaw nam ka bawlkhe zo mai ding, a chi a.

¹²I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.

¹³Huan, Mosiin TOUPA kiangah, Aigupta miten a za kha ding uh; hiai mite lah a lak ua kipana na thilhihtheihnaa na pikhiak ahi ngal ua;

¹³And Moses said unto the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear it, (for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them;)

¹⁴Hiai gama mite a hilh ding ua: hiai mipite lakah na om chih a zata uh; kimaituah hialin lah a honmuta ngal ua, na meipi a tunguah a om sek a; huan, sunin meipi ding, janin meiin a ma uh lah na pi jel ngala.

¹⁴And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they have heard that thou LORD art among this people, that thou LORD art seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.

¹⁵Hiai mipite na thahgam leh na minthangna ja namten.

¹⁵Now if thou shalt kill all this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying,

¹⁶TOUPAN hiai mite kichiama achiam gama a pi theihlouh jiakin gamdai ah a hihlum ahi, chiin a hon genkhe ding uh.

¹⁶Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which he sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness.

¹⁷Tuin ka honngen ahi, ka TOUPA thilhihtheihna hihthupiin om hen, thu a na gentak dungjuiin,

¹⁷And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my Lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying,

¹⁸TOUPA jaw lungnel tak, migitna hau, thulimlouhna te, tatlekna te ngaidam sek; moha sehte khah ngeiloupa, pate thulimlouhna jiaka tate, tate ta nawnte, suan thumna leh suan lina tana leng gawt sek ahi na na chih.

¹⁸The LORD is long-suffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.

¹⁹Na migitna a thupi bang ngei leh Aigupta gam akipana tutana na ngaihdam bangin mipite thulimlouhna ngaidam dih ve, a chi a.

¹⁹Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.

²⁰Huan, TOUPAN, Na thu bangin ka ngaidam hi:

²⁰And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy word:

²¹Himahleh ka hinna leh TOUPA thupinain a hondimsak ding lei tengteng louin ka gen hi;

²¹But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD.

²²Aigupta gam leh gamdaia ka thupina leh ka thillamdang hihte mu a, huchi pipia leng sawm vei tak honzeet lailaia, ka thu jui lou lai mi tengtengin;

²²Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;

²³A pipute uh kianga kichiama ka chiam huai gam a mu kei hial ding uh; a lak ua kei honngaineute mawngmawngin leng a mu sam kei ding uh:

²³Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:

²⁴Ka sikha Kalebin bel lungsim dang a puta, a honzuih taktak jiakin, amah jaw a vahohna gamah ka pi ding, a suanten a luah ding uh.

²⁴But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.

²⁵Khaile, Amelekte leh Kanante huai gamah a om ua: jingchiangin kihei unla, Tuipi san lampi lam gamdai ah lut un, a chi hi.

²⁵(Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.) Tomorrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.

²⁶Huan, TOUPAN Mosi leh Aron a houpiha,

²⁶And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

²⁷Hiai mi thulimlou omkhawmte, ka tunga phunphunte bangtan ahia ka dohtheih ding? Israel suante phunna, ka tunga a phunnate uh ka ja hi.

²⁷How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.

²⁸A kiang uah, Ka hinna louin ka gen hi, ka bilbuk ngeia na gen bang un na tunguah ka hih ding:

²⁸Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:

²⁹Na luang uh gamdai ah a om dinga; na lak ua simsa mi tengteng, kum sawmnih akipan tunglam ka tunga phunphun teng,

²⁹Your carcasses shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward which have murmured against me.

³⁰Banjak hiala, Ka honomsak ding, ka chih gamah Jephune tapa Kaleb leh Nun tapa Josua kia loungal na lut kei ding uh.

³⁰Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.

³¹Ahihhangin, Mat ding lel ahi ding uh, na chih uh na tate uh ka pi lut dinga, na dihlouh gam uh a thei ding uh.

³¹But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised.

³²Noubel na luang uh hiai gamdai ah a om ding.

³²But as for you, your carcasses, they shall fall in this wilderness.

³³Na tate uh gamdai ah kum sawmli a tamvak ding uh, gamdaia na luangte uh a mawk man masiah na kijuakna uh amau a thuak loh ding uh.

³³And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcasses be wasted in the wilderness.

³⁴Gam na vaetkhiak ni zah uh, ni sawmli, ni khat tangin kumkhat jel, kum sawmli sung tak na tatlekna uh na thuak loh ding ua, huchiin ka tupdan ka hihlamdan na thei ding uh.

³⁴After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.

³⁵Kei TOUPAN mi ginalou omkhawm honnanga omkhawmte tungah hia ka hih ngei ding ka nachita a: hiai gamdai ah a mangthang ding ua. Huailaiah a si ding uh, TOUPAN a chi, chi un, chiin.

³⁵I the LORD have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.

³⁶Huan, gam enkhe dinga Mosi mi sawl hongkik nawnten, gam omdan a hoihlou lama genin amah tungah omkhawmte a phunsak hi,

³⁶And the men, which Moses sent to search the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up a slander upon the land,

³⁷Huai gam omdan a hoihlou lama gente ngei TOUPA maah hiin a sita uh.

³⁷Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died by the plague before the LORD.

³⁸Gam enkhe dinga hohte laka Nun tapa Josua leh Jephune tapa Kaleb bel a si tei kei uhi.

³⁸But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of the men that went to search the land, lived still.

³⁹Huan, Mosiin huai thute Israel suante tengteng a hilha: huchiin mipite a lungkhamta mahmah uhi.

³⁹And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly.

⁴⁰Huchiin jingpiinn a thou ua, mual vum ah a hohtou ua, Ngaiin, ka hongpai uhi. TOUPAN a honchiamna mun ah ka hoh ding uhi, ka na khialta uhi, achi ua.

⁴⁰And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up into the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we be here, and will go up unto the place which the LORD hath promised: for we have sinned.

⁴¹Huan, Mosiin, Lamzanna ahi kei ding chih thei napia bangdinga TOUPA thupiak bohse himhim na hi ua?

⁴¹And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of the LORD? but it shall not prosper.

⁴²Na lak uah TOUPA a om ngal keia, melmate hihlup lel dingin hohtou kei un.

⁴²Go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that ye be not smitten before your enemies.

⁴³Na ma uah Amalekte leh Kanante a om uhi, namsaua hihlup na hi phet ding uh: TOUPA na lehngatsantak jiak un na kiang uah TOUPA a om kei ding, a chi a.

⁴³For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away from the LORD, therefore the LORD will not be with you.

⁴⁴Himahleh mualvuma hoh a tum teitei ua: ahihhangin TOUPA thukhunnabawm leh Mosi jaw buk akipan a pawt kei uhi.Huchiin huai muala om Amalekte leh Kanante a hongkuan suk ua, a sual ua, Horma tanphain amau a sat puk phengphung maimah uhi.

⁴⁴But they presumed to go up unto the hill top: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and Moses, departed not out of the camp.

⁴⁵Huchiin huai muala om Amalekte leh Kanante a hongkuan suk ua, a sual ua, Horma tanphain amau a sat puk phengphung maimah uhi.

⁴⁵Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which dwelt in that hill, and smote them, and discomfited them, even unto Hormah.
