¹The people were complaining in the ears of Yahweh. When Yahweh heard it, his anger was kindled; and Yahweh’s fire burnt among them, and consumed some of the outskirts of the camp.

¹Huan, Mippen TOUPA jakin phunhatte bangin thil hoihlou pipi a gen nak ua; huai TOUPAN a najakin a hehta hi; huchiin TOUPA mei a lak uah a hongkisaa, a giahna polam uh a kang juajua hi.

²The people cried to Moses; and Moses prayed to Yahweh, and the fire abated.

²Huchiin mipiten Mosi a sam ua; huan, Mosi TOUPA kiangah a thuma, mei a mitta hi.

³The name of that place was called Taberah Taberah means “burning” , because Yahweh’s fire burnt among them.

³Huailai mun min Tabera a chi uh, TOUPA mei a lak ua a hongkak jiakin.

⁴The mixed multitude that was among them lusted exceedingly: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, “Who will give us flesh to eat?

⁴Huan, a lak ua nam dang toh kilaktenten sa lunggulhna a hon neita ua; Israel suan te leng a kap nawn ua, Kua ahia sa nek ding honpe ding?

⁵We remember the fish, which we ate in Egypt for nothing; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic;

⁵Ut leh daha Aigupta gama ngasa i nek jelte I theigigea, tangmaite, mazelte, phulun sialnek chite, vaiphulunte, phulun ngoute leng;

⁶but now we have lost our appetite. There is nothing at all except this manna to look at.”

⁶Himahleh tuin I guhngek uh a keu khinta, bangmah lamet ding mahmah a omkei, manna lel loungal, a chi uh.

⁷The manna was like coriander seed, and its appearance like the appearance of bdellium.

⁷Manna bel koriander tang bang, a latdain jaw tuikepsuang bang ahi.

⁸The people went around, gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in mortars, and boiled it in pots, and made cakes of it. Its taste was like the taste of fresh oil.

⁸Miten a tom khawm ua, gawinelna ah a gawi nel ua, sumte bangah a su ua, belte bangin a huan ua, tanghoute bangin a bawl uh: nekin sathaua kan tanghou bang ahi.

⁹When the dew fell on the camp in the night, the manna fell on it.

⁹Giahna muna jana dai a kiakin manna leng a hongkia.

¹⁰Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, every man at the door of his tent; and the anger of Yahweh was kindled greatly; and Moses was displeased.

¹⁰Huan, mipite a inkuankuan un a puanin kongkhak chiat uah a kap uh chih Mosiin a naja a; huan, TOUPA a heh mahmaha; Mosi leng a lungkimkei hi.

¹¹Moses said to Yahweh, “Why have you treated with your servant so badly? Why haven’t I found favor in your sight, that you lay the burden of all this people on me?

¹¹Huchiin TOUPA kiangah, Bangjiakin ahia na sikha non sukgim, bangchidan ahia na mit ka tunlouhna, hiai mite tengteng puakgik ka tunga na ngak?

¹²Have I conceived all this people? Have I brought them forth, that you should tell me, ‘Carry them in your bosom, as a nurse carries a nursing infant, to the land which you swore to their fathers?’

¹²Hiai mipite tengteng ka suan ahi uh maw? A pi leh pute uh kianga kichiama piak na chiam gama pi lut dingin, Naupommiin nawitui ne lai a pom bangin na angsungah pomin, na honchih dinga ka pikhiak hon?

¹³Where could I get meat to give to all this people? For they weep to me, saying, ‘Give us meat, that we may eat.’

¹³Hiai mipi tengteng piak ding koi akipanin ahia sa ka neih ding? Ka nek ding un sa honpiain, chia kapin lah a honsual ngal ua.

¹⁴I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.

¹⁴Hiai mipi tengteng keimah kiain ka po zou kei, kei dingin a gik lua hi.

¹⁵If you treat me this way, please kill me right now, if I have found favor in your sight; and don’t let me see my wretchedness.”

¹⁵Hichibanga honhih ding na hihleh, honhehpih inla, honsisak vanglakin, honhihgenthei nawn kei mahmahin, a chi a.

¹⁶Yahweh said to Moses, “Gather to me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them to the Tent of Meeting, that they may stand there with you.

¹⁶Huan, TOUPAN Mosi kiangah, Israelte upa, mipite upa leh a heutu uh hia na theih mi sawmsagihte ka kiangah honpi khawm inla, kihoupihna puanin ah nangmah toh ding khawm din honpiin.

¹⁷I will come down and talk with you there. I will take of the Spirit which is on you, and will put it on them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, that you not bear it yourself alone.

¹⁷Huchiin ka hongpawt dinga, huailaiah ka hon houpih ding: huan, nang a kha pen a tunguah ka koih ding; nang kian po louin mipite puakgik a hon puakpih ding uh.

¹⁸“Say to the people, ‘Sanctify yourselves against tomorrow, and you will eat flesh; for you have wept in the ears of Yahweh, saying, “Who will give us flesh to eat? For it was well with us in Egypt.” Therefore Yahweh will give you flesh, and you will eat.

¹⁸Huan, nang mipite kiangah, Jingchiang adingin kihihsiangthou vek unla; huchiin sa na ne tawk ding uh: Sa nek ding kuan ahia honpe sin? Aigupta gama nuam I saksak utoh, chiin TOUPA jakin na kap ua; huaijiakin TOUPAN sa nou a honpe ding hi, na ne tawk ding uh.

¹⁹You will not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days,

¹⁹Nikhat kia, ni nih kia, ni sawm kia, ii, ni sawmnih kia leng na ne kei ding ua;

²⁰but a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it is loathsome to you; because that you have rejected Yahweh who is among you, and have wept before him, saying, “Why did we come out of Egypt?”’”

²⁰Himahleh kha khat pumlum, na nakvang ua a hongpawt khiaka nou dia kihhuai a honmghih matan na ne ding uh; na lak ua om TOUPA na deih louh ua, Aigupta gam akipan bangdia pai khia I hi ua? Chia, a maa na kah jiak un.

²¹Moses said, “The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand men on foot; and you have said, ‘I will give them flesh, that they may eat a whole month.’

²¹Huan, Mosiin, ka ompih mipite khea pai thei ngen leng nuai guk ahi uh: kha khat pumlum nek ding sa ka pe ding, na chi a.

²²Shall flocks and herds be slaughtered for them, to be sufficient for them? Shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to be sufficient for them?”

²²Belam hon leh gan hon zong gohsak lehang, a kham ding ua hia? tuipia ngasa tengteng leng matsak vek leng zong, a khamzou ding ua hia? achi a.

²³Yahweh said to Moses, “Has Yahweh’s hand grown short? Now you will see whether my word will happen to you or not.”

²³Huan, TOUPAN, Mosi kiangah, TOUPA khut a tomta ahia? Na tungah ka thu banga a tun leh tun louh na thei mai ding, achi a.

²⁴Moses went out, and told the people the words of Yahweh; and he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them around the Tent.

²⁴Huchiin Mosi a pawta, TOUPA thu mipite a hilh hi: huan, mipite upa sawmsagihte a sam khawma, Puan in kimah a dingsak hi.

²⁵Yahweh came down in the cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the Spirit that was on him, and put it on the seventy elders: and it happened that when the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied, but they did so no more.

²⁵Huchiin, TOUPA meipi ah a hongsuka, a honghoupiha, amah a kha pen upa sawmsagihte tungah a koiha; huan, hichi ahia, kha a tung ua a koihtakin thu a gen bualbual ua; himahleh huchibang a hihhih nawnta kei uhi.

²⁶But two men remained in the camp. The name of one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the Spirit rested on them; and they were of those who were written, but had not gone out to the Tent; and they prophesied in the camp.

²⁶Himahleh buk ah mi nih a om lai ua khat min Eldad ahi, khatpen min Medad ahi: kha a tunguah a oma, simte laka tel ahi uh, kihoupihna puanin ah bel a hoh tei kei uh: buk ah thu a gen bualbual uh.

²⁷A young man ran, and told Moses, and said, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp!”

²⁷Huchiin tangval khat a vataia, Mosi a vahilha, Eldad leh Medadin buk ah thu a gen bualbual mai uh, achi a.

²⁸Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his chosen men, answered, “My lord Moses, forbid them!”

²⁸Huan, Nun tapa Josua, a tuailai akipana Mosi nasempan a dawnga, Ka pu Mosi, kham ve, a chi a.

²⁹Moses said to him, “Are you jealous for my sake? I wish that all Yahweh’s people were prophets, that Yahweh would put his Spirit on them!”

²⁹Huan, Mosiin a kiangah, Kei jiakin thik na hi hia? Pathian mi tengteng jawlnei hi vek le uh, TOUPAN a tunguah tua kha koih chiat leh chih laitaka! A chi a.

³⁰Moses went into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.

³⁰Huchiin Mosi buk ah a lut nawna, amah leh Israelte upate toh.

³¹A wind from Yahweh went out and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, about a day’s journey on this side, and a day’s journey on the other side, around the camp, and about two cubits above the surface of the earth.

³¹Huan, TOUPA kiang akipanin huih a hongnunga, tuipi lam akipan vengkeng a honmut lenga, buk lehlamsang ni khat lam, a lehlamsang ni khat lam tuaktuak dimsuakin buk kima tong nih khawng dinga sangin a kesaka.

³²The people rose up all that day, and all the night, and all the next day, and gathered the quails. He who gathered least gathered ten homers; 1 homer is about 220 litres or 6 bushels and they spread them all abroad for themselves around the camp.

³²Huan, mipiten huai nitum leh jankhua leh, a jing nitumin vengkeng a vatom khawm uh: a tom tawmpenin leng homer sawm a tom: buk kimah amau achiat a phou uhi.

³³While the flesh was yet between their teeth, before it was chewed, the anger of Yahweh was kindled against the people, and Yahweh struck the people with a very great plague.

³³Huan, huai sa a nek lai uh, a nek khit ma un, mipite tungah TOUPA a heh mahmaha, mipite hipi thupi mahmahin TOUPAN a gawtta hi.

³⁴The name of that place was called Kibroth Hattaavah, Kibroth Hattaavah means “graves of lust.” because there they buried the people who lusted.

³⁴Huaimun min dingin Kibrot-hattava a chi uh; huaiah sa duhgawlna neite a vui jiakun.Huan, Kibrot-hattava akipanin mipite Hazeroth ah a pai ua; Hazeroth ah a omta uh.

³⁵From Kibroth Hattaavah the people traveled to Hazeroth; and they stayed at Hazeroth.

³⁵Huan, Kibrot-hattava akipanin mipite Hazeroth ah a pai ua; Hazeroth ah a omta uh.
