1Then the whole congregation lifted up their voices and cried out, and that night the people wept.
1To aqum naah kaminawk loe tha hoi hangh o moe, qah o.
2All the Israelites grumbled against Moses and Aaron, and the whole congregation said to them, “If only we had died in the land of Egypt, or if only we had died in this wilderness!
2Israel 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!
3Why is the LORD bringing us into this land to fall by the sword? Our wives and children will become plunder. Would it not be better for us to go back to Egypt?”
3Tikhoe 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.
4So they said to one another, “Let us appoint a leader and return to Egypt.”
4To naah angmacae hoi angmacae zaehoikung to qoi o si loe, Izip prae ah amlaem o let si, tiah a thuih o.
5Then Moses and Aaron fell facedown before the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel.
5Mosi hoi Aaron mah to ah amkhueng Israel kaminawk boih hma ah, long ah akuep pae hoi.
6Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes
6Kanaan prae khet han kacaeh, Nun capa Joshua hoi Jephunneh capa Kaleb loe, angmah hnik ih kahni to angkhring hoi pacoengah,
7and said to the whole congregation of Israel, “The land we passed through and explored is an exceedingly good land.
7to ah amkhueng Israel kaminawk boih khaeah, a caeh o moe, a khet o ih prae loe hoih parai.
8If the LORD delights in us, He will bring us into this land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and He will give it to us.
8Angraeng 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.
9Only do not rebel against the LORD, and do not be afraid of the people of the land, for they will be like bread for us. Their protection has been removed, and the LORD is with us. Do not be afraid of them!”
9Angraeng 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.
10But the whole congregation threatened to stone Joshua and Caleb. Then the glory of the LORD appeared to all the Israelites at the Tent of Meeting.
10Toe kaminawk mah nihnik to thlung hoiah vah han thuih o; to naah Angraeng lensawkhaih Israel kaminawk amkhuenghaih kahni imthung ah phak.
11And the LORD said to Moses, “How long will this people treat Me with contempt? How long will they refuse to believe in Me, despite all the signs I have performed among them?
11Angraeng 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?
12I will strike them with a plague and destroy them—and I will make you into a nation greater and mightier than they are.”
12Nihcae 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.
13But Moses said to the LORD, “The Egyptians will hear of it, for by Your strength You brought this people from among them.
13Mosi mah Angraeng khaeah, To tiah nahaeloe, Na thacakhaih hoiah hae kaminawk hae na zaehhoih, tiah Izip kaminawk mah panoek o tih boeh;
14And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have already heard that You, O LORD, are in the midst of this people, that You, O LORD, have been seen face to face, that Your cloud stands over them, and that You go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night.
14to 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.
15If You kill this people as one man, the nations who have heard of Your fame will say,
15Hae kaminawk boih hae kami maeto baktiah vaihi na dueksak nahaeloe, nang ih tamthang thaih acaengnawk mah loe,
16‘Because the LORD was unable to bring this people into the land He swore to give them, He has slaughtered them in the wilderness.’
16Angraeng 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.
17So now I pray, may the power of my Lord be magnified, just as You have declared:
17Na thuih ih lok baktih toengah, vaihiah ka Angraeng thacakhaih to len nasoe,
18‘The LORD is slow to anger and abounding in loving devotion, forgiving iniquity and transgression. Yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished; He will visit the iniquity of the fathers upon their children to the third and fourth generation.’
18Angraeng 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.
19Pardon, I pray, the iniquity of this people, in keeping with the greatness of Your loving devotion, just as You have forgiven them ever since they left Egypt.”
19Kalen 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“I have pardoned them as you requested,” the LORD replied.
20Angraeng mah, Nang hnik ih lok baktih toengah, kang tahmen boeh;
21“Yet as surely as I live and as surely as the whole earth is filled with the glory of the LORD,
21toe kai ka hing tangtang baktih toengah, longpum ah Angraeng lensawkhaih to koi tih.
22not one of the men who have seen My glory and the signs I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness—yet have tested Me and disobeyed Me these ten times—
22Izip 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,
23not one will ever see the land that I swore to give their fathers. None of those who have treated Me with contempt will see it.
23ampanawk 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.
24But because My servant Caleb has a different spirit and has followed Me wholeheartedly, I will bring him into the land he has entered, and his descendants will inherit it.
24Toe 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.
25Now since the Amalekites and Canaanites are living in the valleys, turn back tomorrow and head for the wilderness along the route to the Red Sea.”
25Amalek hoi Kanaan kaminawk loe azawn ah khosak o; khawnbang ah amlaem oh loe, tuipui kathim bang hoiah praezaek ah caeh oh, tiah a naa.
26Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
26Angraeng mah Mosi hoi Aaron khaeah,
27“How long will this wicked congregation grumble against Me? I have heard the complaints that the Israelites are making against Me.
27ka 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.
28So tell them: As surely as I live, declares the LORD, I will do to you exactly as I heard you say.
28Nihcae khaeah, Kai ka hing pongah, ka naa ah nang thuih o ih baktih toengah, ka sak han, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
29Your bodies will fall in this wilderness—all who were numbered in the census, everyone twenty years of age or older—because you have grumbled against Me.
29Na kroek o ih nangmacae kaminawk boih thungah, kai laisaep thuih, saning pumphaeto hoi ranuih bang kaminawk loe praezaek ah dueh o tih.
30Surely none of you will enter the land in which I swore to settle you, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.
30Jephunneh 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.
31But I will bring your children, whom you said would become plunder, into the land you have rejected—and they will enjoy it.
31Misa 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.
32As for you, however, your bodies will fall in this wilderness.
32Toe nangcae loe hae praezaek ah na dueh o ueloe, qok doeh pong sut tih.
33Your children will be shepherds in the wilderness for forty years, and they will suffer for your unfaithfulness until the last of your bodies lies in the wilderness.
33Nangcae 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.
34In keeping with the forty days you spied out the land, you shall bear your guilt forty years—a year for each day—and you will experience My alienation.
34Prae 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.
35I, the LORD, have spoken, and I will surely do these things to this entire wicked congregation, which has conspired against Me. They will meet their end in the wilderness, and there they will die.”
35Kai, 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.
36So the men Moses had sent to spy out the land, who had returned and made the whole congregation grumble against him by bringing out a bad report about the land—
36To 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,
37those men who had brought out the bad report about the land—were struck down by a plague before the LORD.
37kanaan prae loe hoih ai tiah thui kaminawk loe, Angraeng hmaa ah kasae nathaih mah phak thuih moe, duek o.
38Of those men who had gone to spy out the land, only Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh remained alive.
38Prae khet han kacaeh kaminawk boih thungah, Nun capa Joshua hoi Jephunneh capa Kaleb hnik khue ni hing hoi.
39And when Moses relayed these words to all the Israelites, the people mourned bitterly.
39To lok to Mosi mah Israel kaminawk khaeah thuih pae naah, kaminawk loe paroeai hangh o.
40Early the next morning they got up and went up toward the ridge of the hill country. “We have indeed sinned,” they said, “but we will go to the place the LORD has promised.”
40Khawnbang 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.
41But Moses said, “Why are you transgressing the commandment of the LORD? This will not succeed!
41Toe 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.
42Do not go up, lest you be struck down by your enemies, because the LORD is not among you.
42Nangcae khaeah Angraeng om ai pongah, caeh o tahang hmah; na caeh o nahaeloe misanawk to na pazawk o mak ai.
43For there the Amalekites and Canaanites will face you, and you will fall by the sword. Because you have turned away from the LORD, He will not be with you.”
43Amalek 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.
44But they dared to go up to the ridge of the hill country, though neither Moses nor the ark of the covenant of the LORD moved from the camp.
44Toe Mosi hoi Angraeng ih thingkhong loe, ataihaih ahmuen to caehtaak ai; toe nihcae loe palungthah o pongah, mae nuiah caeh o nganga.
45Then the Amalekites and Canaanites who lived in that part of the hill country came down, attacked them, and routed them all the way to Hormah.
45To 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.
