Tâconae 16

1 Hahoi, Isarel rangpuinaw teh Elim hoi a tâco awh teh kahlawng bout a cei awh. Izip ram hoi a tâco hnukkhu, thapa yung hni, Hnin hrahlaipanga nah, Elim hoi Sinai mon rahak Sin kahrawng dawk a pha awh.

Then moved they on from Elim, and all the assembly of the sons of Israel entered into the desert of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month, by their coming forth out of the land of Egypt.

2 Hote kahrawng dawk Isarel rangpuinaw ni,

Then did all the assembly of the sons of Israel murmur against Moses and against Aaron in the desert;

3 Kaimouh teh Izip ram moi thawngnae hlaam teng tahung teh, ka boum lah ka ca awh navah, BAWIPA e kut hoi kadout awh pawiteh ahawihnawn. Atu vah, ka kamkhueng e taminaw kamlum sak hanelah, Hete kahrawng dawk na hrawi awh vaw telah Mosi hoi Aron yonpen awh teh a phuenang awh.

and the sons of Israel said unto them—Oh that we had died by the hand of Yahweh, in the land of Egypt, when we remained by the pot of flesh, when we did eat bread to the full, —for ye have brought us forth into this desert, to cause all this multitude to die by famine.

4 Hat navah, BAWIPA ni khenhaw! Kai ni nangmouh hanelah kalvan hoi vaiyei ka rak sak han. Taminaw ni hnin touh rawca rawi hanelah hnintangkuem a tâco awh han. Ka kâlawk patetlah a sak hoi, a sak hoeh e hottelah lahoi ahnimouh ka tanouk han.

Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Behold me! raining down for you bread out of heaven, —and the people shall go out and gather the portion for a day, on its day, that I may prove them whether they will walk in my law, or not.

5 Hnin tangkuem rawi e hlak kapap lah, hnin taruk hnin teh let hni touh hoi rawi hanelah kârakueng awh, telah Mosi koe a dei pouh.

And it shall come to pass on the sixth day, that they shall settle what they shall bring in, —and it shall be twice as much as they gather day by day.

6 Mosi hoi Aron nihai, BAWIPA ni nangmouh teh Izip ram hoi na hrawi a e hah atu tangmin vah na panue awh han.

So Moses and Aaron said unto all the sons of Israel, —At eventide, then shall ye know that it was, Yahweh, who brought you forth, out of the land of Egypt;

7 Amom lahai BAWIPA e bawilennae na hmu awh han. BAWIPA koe na phuenangnae lawk teh a thai toe. Kaimouh yon na pen awh teh na phuenang sin hanelah, Kaimouh teh bang patet e tami lah maw ka o awh, telah Isarelnaw koe atipouh roi.

and, in the morning, then shall ye see the glory of Yahweh, in that he hath heard your murmurings against Yahweh, —what then are, we, that ye should murmur against, us?

8 Hahoi, Mosi ni, BAWIPA ni tangmin na ca awh han e moi thoseh, Amom kaboumlah na ca awh han e vaiyei thoseh, na poe awh toteh, hete lawk heh kakuep han. Nangmouh ni na phuenangnae lawk teh BAWIPA ni a thai toe. Kaimouh teh bang patet e tami maw. Nangmouh ni na phuenangnae e heh kaimouh roi koe na hoeh, BAWIPA koe doeh na phuenang awh, telah atipouh.

And Moses said—In that Yahweh giveth you in the evening flesh to eat, and bread in the morning, to the full, in that Yahweh heareth your murmurings wherewith ye are murmuring against him, what then are, we? Not against us, do ye murmur but against Yahweh.

9 Hahoi, nangmae phuenangnae lawk hah BAWIPA ni a thai dawkvah, Ama koe hnai awh, telah Isarel tamimaya pueng koe patuen dei pouh hanelah Aron koe lawkthui e patetlah,

And Moses said unto Aaron, Say unto all the assembly of the sons of Israel, Draw near, before Yahweh, —for he hath heard your murmurings.

10 Aron ni Isarel tamimaya koe patuen bout a dei pouh navah, ahnimouh ni kahrawng lah a khet awh teh, tâmai dawk BAWIPA e bawilennae kamnuek e hah a hmu awh.

And it came to pass, when Aaron spake unto all the assembly of the sons of Israel, then turned they towards the desert, —and lo! the glory of Yahweh, had appeared in the cloud,

11 BAWIPA ni hai Isarelnaw e phuenangnae lawk hah ka thai toe.

Then spake Yahweh unto Moses—saying,

12 Tangmin lah nangmouh ni moi na ca awh han. Amom lahai vaiyei kaboumlah na ca awh han. KAI teh nangmae BAWIPA Cathut doeh tie hah na panue han telah ahnimouh koe dei pouh telah Mosi koe atipouh.

I have heard the murmurings of the sons of Israel, —speak unto them, saying—Between the two evenings, shall ye eat flesh, and in the morning, shall ye be filled with bread, —so shall ye know that I Yahweh am your God.

13 Tangmin lah tamuemnaw teh rim koe a tho awh. Amom lahai rim petkâtue lah tadamtui a bo.

And it came to pass, in the evening, that there came up quail, and covered the camp, —and in the morning was the outpouring of dew, round about the camp;

14 Tadamtui a kâkayaw toteh, tadamtui kamkak e patetlah titica kamhluem e talai dawk ao.

and when the outpouring of dew went up, then lo! on the face of the desert, a thin flake, thin as hoar-frost on the earth,

15 Hote hno Isarelnaw ni a hmu awh toteh, bangmaw ti a panue awh hoeh dawkvah, buet touh hoi buet touh a kâpacei awh. Mosi ni hete naw teh nangmouh na ca hanelah BAWIPA ni na poe e vaiyei doeh.

And when the sons of Israel saw it they said one to another—What is that? For they knew not what "that" was. Then said Moses unto them, "That" is the bread which Yahweh hath given you to eat.

16 Tami pueng ni amae rim dawk kaawm e tami yit touh ni cakhuem, tami buet touh hanlah Omer buet touh rip rawi hanlah BAWIPA ni a dei e patetlah patuen bout a dei pouh.

This, is the thing which Yahweh hath commanded, Gather ye thereof, each man what he needeth for eating, —an omer a head, by the number of your souls, each man—for them who are in his tent, shall ye take.

17 Isarelnaw ni hottelah a sak awh teh, tami kayoun kapap e patetlah a rawi awh.

And the sons of Israel did so, —and gathered, [some] more, and [some] less;

18 Omer hoi a nue awh navah, kapap ka rawi e ni hoe tawn hoeh. Kayoun ka rawi e ni hai hoe vout hoeh. Abuemlah cakhuem koung a rawi awh.

and when they measured it with the omer, he who had gathered more had nothing over, and he who had gathered less had no lack: each man what he needed for eating, did they gather.

19 Mosi ni api nang hai amom totouh na tat awh mahoeh atipouh eiteh,

And Moses said unto them, —Let, no man leave thereof, until morning.

20 Tami tangawn ni Mosi e lawk ngai laipalah, amom totouh a ta awh dawkvah a pâri teh a hmui a tho dawk Mosi teh a lungkhuek.

But they hearkened not unto Moses, but certain men left thereof until morning, and it swarmed with worms and become loathsome, —and Moses was wroth with them.

21 Hote tami tangkuem ni amamouh cakhuem hnintangkuem a rawi awh. Khumbeithoe nah atui lah a tho.

Thus then they gathered it morning by morning, each man what he needed for eating, and as soon as the sun waxed hot, so soon it melted.

22 A hnin taruk hnin navah, vaiyei let hni touh, tami buet touh hanelah Omer kahni touh rip a rawi awh. Hote akong hah tamimaya ka ukkungnaw ni Mosi koe a thai sak awh.

And it came to pass on the sixth day, that they gathered food twice as much, two omers for each one, —so all the princes of the assembly came in, and told Moses.

23 Ahni ni hai tangtho teh BAWIPA hmalah kathounge Sabbath hnin, Kâhatnae hnin lah ao. Vaiyei thawng hanlah na ngai e patetlah thawng awh. Bue hanlah na ngai pawiteh bue awh. Kacawie teh tangtho amom hanelah na ta awh han telah BAWIPA ni a dei e hah bout a dei pouh.

And he said unto them—That is what Yahweh spake. The observance of a holy sabbath to Yahweh, is to-morrow, —what ye would bake, bake and what ye would boil, boil, and all that is left over, put by you to keep until the morning.

24 Mosi ni lawkthui a e patetlah atangtho amom hanelah hai a ta awh. Hotteh, a hmui tho hoeh. Pâri hai pâri hoeh.

So they put it by until the morning, as Moses had commanded, —and it gave no unpleasant odour, neither was there a worm, therein.

25 Mosi ni hai kacawie sahnin cat awh. Sabbath teh BAWIPA e hnin doeh. Hote hno kahrawngum sahnin vah na hmawt awh mahoeh.

Then said Moses—Eat ye it to-day, for a sabbath, is to-day, unto Yahweh, —to-day, ye shall not find it in the field.

26 Hnin taruk touh thung a rawi awh. Sabbath hnin lah kaawm e hnin sari hnin nah awm hoeh, na hmawt hai na hmawt awh mahoeh telah ati.

Six days, shall ye gather it, —but on the seventh day, a sabbath, it shall not be therein.

27 Hnin sari hnin nah, Tami tangawn ni rawi hanelah a tâco awh teh a tawng awh navah hmawt awh hoeh.

And it came to pass on the seventh day, that there went forth some of the people to gather, —but they found not.

28 BAWIPA ni hai nangmouh ni kaie kâpoelawknaw hoi kâlawknaw na totouh maw na pahnawt awh han rah.

Then said Yahweh unto Moses, —How long have ye refused to keep my commandments and my laws?

29 BAWIPA ni Sabbath hnin teh nangmouh na poe awh. Hatdawkvah, hnin taruk hnin nah, hnin hni touh hane vaiyei hah na poe awh. Taminaw pueng ama onae hmuen koe awm naseh. Hnin sari hnin nah, a onae hmuen koehoi nahai cetsak hanh telah Mosi koe atipouh.

See because Yahweh hath given you the sabbath, for this cause, is, he, giving you on the sixth day, food for two days, —abide ye every man in his place, let no man go forth from his dwelling, on the seventh day,

30 Taminaw ni hnin sari hnin nah a kâhat awh han.

So the people rested on the seventh day.

31 Isarelnaw ni hote cakawi hah mana telah ati awh. Songsuenmu patetlah ao teh a pangaw. Khoitui hoi kalawt e vaiyei hoi a tuinae a kâvan.

And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna, —and the same, was like coriander seed white, and the taste thereof, like flat-cake with honey,

32 Mosi ni nangmouh Izip ram hoi na hrawi awh navah, Kahrawng na paca e vaiyei hah na ca catounnaw pueng ni a hmu a nahan e lah, Omer buet touh tat telah BAWIPA ni a dei e hah bout a dei pouh.

And Moses said—This, is the thing which Yahweh hath commanded, Fill an omer therefrom as a thing to be preserved to your generations, —that they may see the bread wherewith I fed you in the desert, when I brought you forth out of the land of Egypt.

33 Mosi ni Aron koevah hlaam lat nateh, mana Omer buet touh athung vah tat. Na ca catoun totouh ta hanelah, BAWIPA hmalah na kuem han atipouh.

So Moses said unto Aaron—Take a single basket, and put therein an omer-full of manna, —and set it down before Yahweh, as a thing to be preserved to your generations.

34 BAWIPA ni Mosi koe lawkthui e patetlah hote mana hah Aron ni pou a kuem hanelah lawkpanuesaknae hmalah a hung.

As Yahweh gave command unto Moses, so did Aaron set it down before the testimony, as a thing to be preserved,

35 Isarelnaw ni khosaknae ram dawk a pha awh hoeh roukrak, a kum 40 touh thung mana a ca awh. Kanaan ramri koe a pha hoeh roukrak mana a ca awh.

And, the sons of Israel did eat the manna forty years, until they entered into the land wherein they were to dwell, —the manna, they did eat until they entered into the bounds of the land of Canaan.

36 Omer buet touh e teh ephah pung hra pung touh e kuk lah ao. (Omer buet touh teh ephah pung hra pung touh hoi a kâvan teh, ephah buet touh teh 22 liters hoi a kâvan)

Now, an omer, is, the tenth of the ephah.
