Wuok 16
1 Oganda jo-Israel duto nochako wuoth kawuok Elim mi gidhi e thim mar Sin mantie e kind Elim gi Sinai, chiengʼ mar apar gabich mar dwe mar ariyo bangʼ kane gisewuok Misri.
On the fifteenth day of the second month after they had left the land of Egypt, the whole congregation of Israel set out from Elim and came to the Desert of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai.
2 E thim kanyo oganda jo-Israel duto nongʼur ne Musa gi Harun.
And there in the desert they all grumbled against Moses and Aaron.
3 Jo-Israel nowachonegi niya, “Mad ne Jehova Nyasaye negwa e piny Misri! Kuno ne wabet kwalworo agulni mopongʼ gi ringʼo, kendo ne wachamo kit chiemo moro amora mane wadwaro, to isekelowa e thim ka mondo kech oneg ogandani duto.”
“If only we had died by the LORD’s hand in the land of Egypt!” they said. “There we sat by pots of meat and ate our fill of bread, but you have brought us into this desert to starve this whole assembly to death!”
4 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya, “Abiro lwaronu makati koa e polo malo. Ji nyaka wuogi pile pile mondo ochok moromogi odiechiengno. Kuom yorni abiro temogigo mondo ane kata ka gibiro luwo chikena.”
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I will rain down bread from heaven for you. Each day the people are to go out and gather enough for that day. In this way I will test whether or not they will follow My instructions.
5 Chiengʼ mar auchiel nyaka gitedi gima gichoko, mano nyaka bed marom nyadiriyo kuom gima gisebedo ka gichoko odiechienge moko odiechiengʼ kodiechiengʼ.
Then on the sixth day, when they prepare what they bring in, it will be twice as much as they gather on the other days.”
6 Kuom mano Musa gi Harun nowacho ne jo-Israel duto kama: “Godhiambo ubiro ngʼeyo ni ne en Jehova Nyasaye ema noresou Misri,
So Moses and Aaron said to all the Israelites, “This evening you will know that it was the LORD who brought you out of the land of Egypt,
7 kendo gokinyi ubiro neno duongʼ mar Jehova Nyasaye, nikech osewinjo ngʼur ma ungʼurnego. Wan to wan ngʼa gini ma dimi ungʼurnwa?”
and in the morning you will see the LORD’s glory, because He has heard your grumbling against Him. For who are we that you should grumble against us?”
8 Bende Musa nowachonegi niya, “Ubiro ngʼeyo ni ne en Jehova Nyasaye ka omiyou ringʼo mondo ucham godhiambo kendo gi Makati duto ma udwaro gokinyi nimar osewinjo ngʼur ma ungʼurnego. Wan to wan ngʼa? Ok wan ema ungʼurnwa to ungʼurne mana Jehova Nyasaye.”
And Moses added, “The LORD will give you meat to eat this evening and bread to fill you in the morning, for He has heard your grumbling against Him. Who are we? Your grumblings are not against us but against the LORD.”
9 Eka Musa nowacho ni Harun niya, “Nyis oganda jo-Israel duto ni, ‘Biuru e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, nimar osewinjo ngʼur ma ungʼurgo.’”
Then Moses said to Aaron, “Tell the whole congregation of Israel, ‘Come before the LORD, for He has heard your grumbling.’”
10 Ka pod Harun ne wuoyo ni oganda jo-Israel duto, negingʼiyo yo thim kendo duongʼ mar Jehova Nyasaye ne othinyore e boche polo.
And as Aaron was speaking to the whole congregation of Israel, they looked toward the desert, and there in a cloud the glory of the LORD appeared.
11 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
Then the LORD said to Moses,
12 “Asewinjo ngʼur mar jo-Israel. Nyisgi kama, ‘Ka piny yuso ubiro chamo ringʼo kendo gokinyi ubiro chamo Makati muyiengʼ. Eka ubiro ngʼeyo ni an Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu.’”
“I have heard the grumbling of the Israelites. Tell them, ‘At twilight you will eat meat, and in the morning you will be filled with bread. Then you will know that I am the LORD your God.’”
13 Odhiambono, aluru nobiro moimo kambi kendo gokinyi ne nitie thoo momoko koluoro kambi.
That evening quail came and covered the camp, and in the morning there was a layer of dew around the camp.
14 Kane thoo oserumo, gik marochere mongʼinore ongʼinore momoko ewi lowo nonenore.
When the layer of dew had evaporated, there were thin flakes on the desert floor, as fine as frost on the ground.
15 Ka jo-Israel nonene, negipenjore kendgi niya, “Ma en angʼo?” Nimar ne ok gingʼeyo gima ne en. Musa nowachonegi niya, “En e Makati ma Jehova Nyasaye osemiyou mondo ucham.
When the Israelites saw it, they asked one another, “What is it?” For they did not know what it was. So Moses told them, “It is the bread that the LORD has given you to eat.
16 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye osechiko, ‘Ngʼato ka ngʼato nyaka chok mangʼeny kaka odwaro. Kaw moromo ngʼato ka ngʼato ma udakgo.’”
This is what the LORD has commanded: ‘Each one is to gather as much as he needs. You may take an omer for each person in your tent.’”
17 Jo-Israel notimo kaka nonyisgi; jomoko nochoko mangʼeny, to jomoko nochoko matin.
So the Israelites did this. Some gathered more, and some less.
18 To kane gipimogi gi gir pimo mar omer, ngʼat mane ochoko mangʼeny ok ne nigi mangʼeny bende ngʼat mane ochoko matin ok ne nigi matin ahinya. Ngʼato ka ngʼato nochoko mana mangʼeny moromo gi dwarone.
When they measured it by the omer, he who gathered much had no excess, and he who gathered little had no shortfall. Each one gathered as much as he needed to eat.
19 Eka Musa nowachonegi niya, “Onge ngʼato manokan chiemono kata matin nyaka okinyi.”
Then Moses said to them, “No one may keep any of it until morning.”
20 Kata kamano, jomoko kuomgi ne ok odewo wach Musa, negikano moko nyaka okinyi, to negiyudo ka kudni opongʼo chiemono kendo negichako dungʼ. Kuom mano Musa ne iye owangʼ kodgi.
But they did not listen to Moses; some people left part of it until morning, and it became infested with maggots and began to smell. So Moses was angry with them.
21 Okinyi ka okinyi ngʼato ka ngʼato ne choko moromo gi dwarone to ka chiengʼ nobedo makech to chiemono ne oleny.
Every morning each one gathered as much as was needed, and when the sun grew hot, it melted away.
22 Chiengʼ mar auchiel, ngʼato ka ngʼato nochoko morome nyadiriyo, bangʼe to jotend dhoudi nobiro mokelo ne Musa wachni.
On the sixth day, they gathered twice as much food—two omers per person —and all the leaders of the congregation came and reported this to Moses.
23 Eka nowachonegi kama, “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye ochiko, ‘Kiny en odiechieng yweyo, ma en Sabato maler mowal ne Jehova Nyasaye. Teduru mago mudwaro tedo kendo bokuru mago mudwaro boko, to modongʼ to ukan nyaka kiny.’”
He told them, “This is what the LORD has said: ‘Tomorrow is to be a day of complete rest, a holy Sabbath to the LORD. So bake what you want to bake, and boil what you want to boil. Then set aside whatever remains and keep it until morning.’”
24 Kuom mano negikano chiemo nyaka okinyi mana kaka Musa nochikogi kendo chiemono ne ok owichore kata timo kudni.
So they set it aside until morning as Moses had commanded, and it did not smell or contain any maggots.
25 Musa nowachonegi niya, “Mano ema ucham kawuono nikech kawuono en Sabato ni Jehova Nyasaye. Ok unuyud chiemo munyalo kwanyo kawuono.
“Eat it today,” Moses said, “because today is a Sabbath to the LORD. Today you will not find anything in the field.
26 Chokuru chiemo kuom ndalo auchiel, nimar odiechiengʼ mar abiriyo ma en Sabato ok nonwangʼ chiemono.”
For six days you may gather, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, it will not be there.”
27 Kata kamano, jomoko nodhi mondo ochok chiemo chiengʼ mar abiriyo, to ne ok giyudo.
Yet on the seventh day some of the people went out to gather, but they did not find anything.
28 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya, “Ubiro tamoru rito chikena kod puonjna nyaka karangʼo?”
Then the LORD said to Moses, “How long will you refuse to keep My commandments and instructions?
29 Beduru kungʼeyo ni Jehova Nyasaye osemiyou Sabato, mano emomiyo chiengʼ mar auchiel omiyou Makati moromo ndalo ariyo. Ngʼato ka ngʼato nyaka sik kama entie chiengʼ mar abiriyo, kendo onge ngʼama nodhi oko.
Understand that the LORD has given you the Sabbath; that is why on the sixth day He will give you bread for two days. On the seventh day, everyone must stay where he is; no one may leave his place.”
30 Kuom mano oganda noyweyo chiengʼ mar abiriyo.
So the people rested on the seventh day.
31 Oganda jo-Israel noluongo makatino ni manna nikech nochalo gi kodhi matindo tindo marachere, kendo ne en gi ndhandhu machal gi kek moted gi mor kich.
Now the house of Israel called the bread manna. It was white like coriander seed and tasted like wafers made with honey.
32 Musa nowacho niya, “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye osechiko, ‘Kaw mana moromo ngʼato achiel chamo kendo kane ni tienge mabiro mondo gine Makati mane amiyou uchamo e thim kane agolou e piny Misri.’”
Moses said, “This is what the LORD has commanded: ‘Keep an omer of manna for the generations to come, so that they may see the bread I fed you in the wilderness when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.’”
33 Kuom mano Musa nonyiso Harun kama, “Kaw manna madirom ngʼato achiel chamo mondo iket e agulu. Bangʼe kete e nyim Jehova Nyasaye mondo okane ne tienge mabiro.”
So Moses told Aaron, “Take a jar and fill it with an omer of manna. Then place it before the LORD to be preserved for the generations to come.”
34 Kaka Jehova Nyasaye nochiko Musa, Harun noketo manna e nyim Sandug Muma mondo mi okane.
And Aaron placed it in front of the Testimony, to be preserved just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
35 Jo-Israel nochamo manna kuom higni piero angʼwen nyaka negichopo e piny mane ji odakie, negichamo manna nyaka negichopo e tongʼ mar piny Kanaan.
The Israelites ate manna forty years, until they came to a land where they could settle; they ate manna until they reached the border of Canaan.
36 (Omer en achiel kuom apar mar efa.)
(Now an omer is a tenth of an ephah.)
