Exodus 16
1 Na un mwet Israel nukewa mukuiyak liki acn Elim, ac ke len aksingoul limekosr in malem se akluo tukun elos illa liki Egypt, elos tuku nu ke yen mwesis Sin, su oan inmasrlon Elim ac Sinai.
And they went on their way from Elim, and all the children of Israel came into the waste land of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after they went out of the land of Egypt.
2 Ingo yen mwesis elos nukewa torkaskas nu sel Moses ac Aaron
And all the children of Israel were crying out against Moses and Aaron in the waste land:
3 ac fahk nu seltal, “LEUM GOD El funu unikuti na Egypt lukun wona. Kut lukun mutana mongo ikwa ac bread nwe ke na kut kihpi. A komtal uskutme nu in acn mwesis se inge ac oru kut in misa ke masrinsral.”
And the children of Israel said to them, It would have been better for the Lord to have put us to death in the land of Egypt, where we were seated by the flesh-pots and had bread enough for our needs; for you have taken us out to this waste of sand, to put all this people to death through need of food.
4 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, “Inge nga ac oru mwe mongo in kahkma inkusrao me nu suwos nukewa. Len nukewa mwet uh ac fah tufoki ac sifani ma fal nu ke len se. In ouiya se inge nga fah srikalos in liye lah elos ac oru oana ma nga sapkin.
Then the Lord said to Moses, See, I will send down bread from heaven for you; and the people will go out every day and get enough for the day's needs; so that I may put them to the test to see if they will keep my laws or not.
5 Ke len se akonkosr elos in use sunun len luo ac akmolyela.”
And on the sixth day they are to make ready what they get in, and it will be twice as much as they get on the other days.
6 Ouinge Moses ac Aaron fahk nu sin mwet Israel nukewa, “Oyeku kowos fah etu lah LEUM GOD pa uskowosme liki Egypt.
And Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, This evening it will be clear to you that it is the Lord who has taken you out of the land of Egypt:
7 Lututang kowos ac liye kalem wolana su fahkak lah LEUM GOD El oasr yorosr. El lohng torkaskas lowos lainul — aok lainul ac tia lain kut, mweyen kut oru na ma El sapkin nu sesr uh.”
And in the morning you will see the glory of the Lord; for your angry words against the Lord have come to his ears: and what are we that you are crying out against us?
8 Na Moses el fahk, “LEUM GOD pa ac sot ikwa nowos ke eku, ac lupan bread ma kowos enenu ke lotutang, tuh El lohng tari lupan torkaskas lowos lainul. Pacl kowos torkaskas lain kut uh, pwayeiya uh kowos torkaskas lain LEUM GOD.”
And Moses said, The Lord will give you meat for your food at evening, and in the morning bread in full measure; for your outcry against the Lord has come to his ears: for what are we? your outcry is not against us but against the Lord.
9 Moses el fahk nu sel Aaron, “Fahk nu sin sruf nukewa lun mwet Israel elos in tuku ac tu ye mutun LEUM GOD, tuh El lohng tari torkaskas lalos.”
And Moses said to Aaron, Say to all the people of Israel, Come near before the Lord for he has given ear to your outcry.
10 Ke Aaron el kaskas nu sin sruf nukewa, elos ngetla nu yen mwesis, ac in kitin pacl ah na kalem wolana lun LEUM GOD sarmelik in pukunyeng se.
And while Aaron was talking to the children of Israel, their eyes were turned in the direction of the waste land, and they saw the glory of the Lord shining in the cloud.
11 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,
And the Lord said to Moses,
12 “Nga lohng tari torkaskas lun mwet Israel. Fahk nu selos lah ke eku nukewa ac fah oasr ikwa nalos, ac ke lotutang nukewa elos ac fah eis lupan bread ma elos enenu. Na elos ac fah etu lah nga, LEUM GOD, pa God lalos.”
The outcry of the children of Israel has come to my ears: say to them now, At nightfall you will have meat for your food, and in the morning bread in full measure; and you will see that I am the Lord your God.
13 Ke ekela sie u lulap ke won quail sohkma lucng me, ac afunla acn nukewa ke nien aktuktuk uh, ac ke lotutang aunfong uh nwakla acn mwet uh muta we.
And it came about that in the evening little birds came up and the place was covered with them: and in the morning there was dew all round about the tents.
14 Ac ke aunfong uh wanginla, oasr ma na minini ac fisrasrsrasr se oan infohk uh yen mwesis uh. Arulana fisrasr in mokutkuti.
And when the dew was gone, on the face of the earth was a small round thing, like small drops of ice on the earth.
15 Ke mwet Israel elos liyauk, elos tiana etu lah mea se, ac elos asiyuki sie sin sie, “Mea se inge?” Moses el fahk nu selos, “Pa inge mwe mongo ma LEUM GOD El sot kowos in mongo kac.
And when the children of Israel saw it, they said to one another, What is it? for they had no idea what it was. And Moses said to them, It is the bread which the Lord has given you for your food.
16 LEUM GOD El sapkin tuh kais sie suwos in sifani lupan na ma el enenu — quart luo nu sin kais sie mwet ke sou se.”
This is what the Lord has said, Let every man take up as much as he has need of; at the rate of one omer for every person, let every man take as much as is needed for his family.
17 Mwet Israel elos oru ouinge — kutu sifani yohk, ac kutu srik.
And the children of Israel did so, and some took more and some less.
18 Ke elos srikeya, mwet ma sifani yohk uh tia alukela ma fal, ac mwet ma sifani srik tia pac srik liki ma fal. Kais sie selos sifani fal na nu ke lupan enenu lalos.
And when it was measured, he who had taken up much had nothing over, and he who had little had enough; every man had taken what he was able to make use of.
19 Moses el fahk nu selos, “Wangin sie mwet fah karingin kutu ma inge nu ke len se tok ah.”
And Moses said to them, Let nothing be kept till the morning.
20 A kutu sin mwet uh tia lohngol Moses ac likiya kutu nu ke len tok ah. Ke lotutang tok ah, ma inge sessesla ke ulac ac pusrosrak, na Moses el kasrkusrak selos.
But they gave no attention to Moses, and some of them kept it till the morning and there were worms in it and it had an evil smell: and Moses was angry with them.
21 Lotutang nukewa kais sie mwet sifauk fal nu ke lupa el enenu; ac ke faht uh foli ma lula fin fohk uh kofelik.
And they took it up morning by morning, every man as he had need: and when the sun was high it was gone.
22 Ke len se akonkosr elos sifani mwe mongo pacl luo yohk liki len saya uh — quart akosr nu sin kais sie mwet. Mwet kol ke sruf nukewa lun mwet Israel elos tuku ac srumun ma inge nu sel Moses,
And on the sixth day they took up twice as much of the bread, two omers for every person: and all the rulers of the people gave Moses word of it.
23 na el fahk nu selos, “LEUM GOD El sapkin tuh lutu sie len in mongla mutal, sriyukla in akfulatyal. Omunla ma kowos lungse umin, ac poeleak ma kowos ke poeli. Kutena ma lula fah orekeni in oan nu lutu.”
And he said, This is what the Lord has said, Tomorrow is a day of rest, a holy Sabbath to the Lord: what has to be cooked may be cooked; and what is over, put on one side to be kept till the morning.
24 Ouinge elos orani ma lula nu ke len tok ah, in oana ma Moses el sapkin, na tiana pusrosrak ku ulauk.
And they kept it till the morning as Moses had said: and no smell came from it, and it had no worms.
25 Moses el fahk, “Kang ma inge misenge mweyen misenge len Sabbath, sie len sriyukla nu sin LEUM GOD, ac kowos ac tia konauk kutena mwe mongo likin acn in aktuktuk uh.
And Moses said, Make your meal today of what you have, for this day is a Sabbath to the Lord: today you will not get any in the fields.
26 Kowos enenu in sifani mwe mongo ke len onkosr, tusruktu len se akitkosr len in mongla se, na ac fah wangin mongo sifeyukeni ke len sac.”
For six days you will get it, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, there will not be any.
27 Ke len se akitkosr kutu sin mwet uh illa in suk mwe mongo, a wangin ma elos konauk.
But still on the seventh day some of the people went out to get it, and there was not any.
28 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, “Putaka pacl kowos mwet uh ac srangesr in akos ma nga sapkin uh?
And the Lord said to Moses, How long will you go against my orders and my laws?
29 Esam lah nga, LEUM GOD, sot sie len in mongla nu suwos, ac ke sripa se inge ke len akonkosr nukewa nga fah sot mwe mongo ma fal nu ke len luo. Mwet nukewa in mutana yen el muta we ke len se akitkosr ac tia som liki lohm sel.”
See, because the Lord has given you the Sabbath, he gives you on the sixth day bread enough for two days; let every man keep where he is; let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.
30 Ouinge mwet uh tia orekma ke len se akitkosr.
So the people took their rest on the seventh day.
31 Mwet Israel elos pangon mwe mongo sac manna. Mwe mongo sac oana fita fasrfasr na srisrik se, ac emah uh oana eman flao minini orekla ke honey.
And this bread was named manna by Israel: it was white, like a grain seed, and its taste was like cakes made with honey.
32 Moses el fahk, “LEUM GOD El sapkin tuh kut in karinganang kutu manna inge tuh fwilin tulik natusr in ku in liye mwe mongo ma El sang kite kut yen mwesis ke El uskutme liki acn Egypt.”
And Moses said, This is the order which the Lord has given: Let one omer of it be kept for future generations, so that they may see the bread which I gave you for your food in the waste land, when I took you out from the land of Egypt.
33 Moses el fahk nu sel Aaron, “Eis sie sufa, ac sang luo quart in manna nu loac, na filiya ye mutun LEUM GOD in karinginyukyang nu sin fwil natusr tok uh.”
And Moses said to Aaron, Take a pot and put one omer of manna in it, and put it away before the Lord, to be kept for future generations.
34 Oana ma LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Moses, ouinge Aaron el filiya sufa sac mutun Tuptup in Wuleang, tuh in ku in karinginyukyang.
So Aaron put it away in front of the holy chest to be kept, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.
35 Mwet Israel elos mongo manna ke yac angngaul, nwe ke elos sun sisken facl Canaan, acn elos oakwuki we. (
And the children of Israel had manna for their food for forty years, till they came to a land with people in it, till they came to the edge of the land of Canaan.
36 Mwe srikasrak flao in pacl meet pangpang “omer,” na omer se oana quart luo.)
Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
