Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1To aqum naah kaminawk loe tha hoi hangh o moe, qah o.
1And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.
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!
2And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron; and the whole congregation said unto them: 'Would that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would we had died in this wilderness!
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.
3And wherefore doth the LORD bring us unto this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will be a prey; were it not better for us to return into Egypt?'
4To naah angmacae hoi angmacae zaehoikung to qoi o si loe, Izip prae ah amlaem o let si, tiah a thuih o.
4And they said one to another: 'Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.'
5Mosi hoi Aaron mah to ah amkhueng Israel kaminawk boih hma ah, long ah akuep pae hoi.
5Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.
6Kanaan prae khet han kacaeh, Nun capa Joshua hoi Jephunneh capa Kaleb loe, angmah hnik ih kahni to angkhring hoi pacoengah,
6And Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were of them that spied out the land, rent their clothes.
7to ah amkhueng Israel kaminawk boih khaeah, a caeh o moe, a khet o ih prae loe hoih parai.
7And they spoke unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying: 'The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceeding good land.
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.
8If the LORD delight in us, then He will bring us into this land, and give it unto us — a land which floweth with milk and honey.
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.
9Only rebel not against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us; their defence is removed from over them, and the LORD is with us; fear them not.'
10Toe kaminawk mah nihnik to thlung hoiah vah han thuih o; to naah Angraeng lensawkhaih Israel kaminawk amkhuenghaih kahni imthung ah phak.
10But all the congregation bade stone them with stones, when the glory of the LORD appeared in the tent of meeting unto all the children of Israel.
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?
11And the LORD said unto Moses: 'How long will this people despise Me? and how long will they not believe in Me, for all the signs which I have wrought among them?
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.
12I will smite them with the pestilence, and destroy them, and will make of thee a nation greater and mightier than they.'
13Mosi mah Angraeng khaeah, To tiah nahaeloe, Na thacakhaih hoiah hae kaminawk hae na zaehhoih, tiah Izip kaminawk mah panoek o tih boeh;
13And Moses said unto the LORD: 'When the Egyptians shall hear — for Thou broughtest up this people in Thy might from among them —
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.
14they will say to the inhabitants of this land, who have heard that Thou LORD art in the midst of this people; inasmuch as Thou LORD art seen face to face, and Thy cloud standeth over them, and Thou goest before them, in a pillar of cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night;
15Hae kaminawk boih hae kami maeto baktiah vaihi na dueksak nahaeloe, nang ih tamthang thaih acaengnawk mah loe,
15now if Thou shalt kill this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of Thee will speak, saying:
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.
16Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which He swore unto them, therefore He hath slain them in the wilderness.
17Na thuih ih lok baktih toengah, vaihiah ka Angraeng thacakhaih to len nasoe,
17And now, I pray Thee, let the power of the Lord be great, according as Thou hast spoken, saying:
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.
18The LORD is slow to anger, and plenteous in lovingkindness, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon the third and upon the fourth generation.
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.
19Pardon, I pray Thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of Thy lovingkindness, and according as Thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.'
20Angraeng mah, Nang hnik ih lok baktih toengah, kang tahmen boeh;
20And the LORD said: 'I have pardoned according to thy word.
21toe kai ka hing tangtang baktih toengah, longpum ah Angraeng lensawkhaih to koi tih.
21But in very deed, as I live — and all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD —
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,
22surely all those men that have seen My glory, and My signs, which I wrought in Egypt and in the wilderness, yet have put Me to proof these ten times, and have not hearkened to My voice;
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.
23surely they shall not see the land which I swore unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that despised Me see 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.
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.
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.
25Now the Amalekite and the Canaanite dwell in the Vale; tomorrow turn ye, and get you into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea.'
26Angraeng mah Mosi hoi Aaron khaeah,
26And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying:
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.
27'How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, that keep murmuring against Me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they keep murmuring against Me.
28Nihcae khaeah, Kai ka hing pongah, ka naa ah nang thuih o ih baktih toengah, ka sak han, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
28Say unto them: As I live, saith the LORD, surely as ye have spoken in Mine ears, so will I do to you:
29Na kroek o ih nangmacae kaminawk boih thungah, kai laisaep thuih, saning pumphaeto hoi ranuih bang kaminawk loe praezaek ah dueh o tih.
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, ye that have murmured against Me;
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.
30surely ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I lifted up My hand that I would make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
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.
31But your little ones, that ye said would be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have rejected.
32Toe nangcae loe hae praezaek ah na dueh o ueloe, qok doeh pong sut tih.
32But as for you, your carcasses shall fall in this 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.
33And your children shall be wanderers in the wilderness forty years, and shall bear your strayings, until your carcasses be consumed in the wilderness.
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.
34After the number of the days in which ye spied out the land, even forty days, for every day a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know My displeasure.
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.
35I the LORD have spoken, surely this will I do unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against Me; in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.'
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,
36And the men, whom Moses sent to spy out the land, and who, when they returned, made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up an evil report against the land,
37kanaan prae loe hoih ai tiah thui kaminawk loe, Angraeng hmaa ah kasae nathaih mah phak thuih moe, duek o.
37even those men that did bring up an evil report of the land, died by the plague before the LORD.
38Prae khet han kacaeh kaminawk boih thungah, Nun capa Joshua hoi Jephunneh capa Kaleb hnik khue ni hing hoi.
38But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, remained alive of those men that went to spy out the land.
39To lok to Mosi mah Israel kaminawk khaeah thuih pae naah, kaminawk loe paroeai hangh o.
39And Moses told these words unto all the children of Israel; and the people mourned greatly.
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.
40And they rose up early in the morning, and got them up to the top of the mountain, saying: 'Lo, we are here, and will go up unto the place which the LORD hath promised; for we have sinned.'
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.
41And Moses said: 'Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of the LORD, seeing it shall not prosper?
42Nangcae khaeah Angraeng om ai pongah, caeh o tahang hmah; na caeh o nahaeloe misanawk to na pazawk o mak ai.
42Go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that ye be not smitten down before your enemies.
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.
43For there the Amalekite and the Canaanite are before you, and ye shall fall by the sword; forasmuch as ye are turned back from following the LORD, and the LORD will not be with you.'
44Toe Mosi hoi Angraeng ih thingkhong loe, ataihaih ahmuen to caehtaak ai; toe nihcae loe palungthah o pongah, mae nuiah caeh o nganga.
44But they presumed to go up to the top of the mountain; nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and Moses, departed not out of the camp.
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.
45Then the Amalekite and the Canaanite, who dwelt in that hill-country, came down, and smote them and beat them down, even unto Hormah.
