Exodus 16
1 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.
Te phoeiah Elim lamloh cet uh tih Israel ca rhaengpuei boeih tah Sin khosoek la pawk uh. Elim laklo neh Sinai laklo te Egypt kho lamloh a thoh uh phoeikah a hla bae hnin hlai nga dongah a phauh.
2 And there in the desert they all grumbled against Moses and Aaron.
Te vaengah Israel ca rhaengpuei boeihte khosoek kah Moses taeng neh Aaron taengah nul khaw nul uh.
3 “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!”
Israel ca rhoek loh amih rhoi te, “BOEIPA kut ah kaimih duek sak ham n'khueh pawt nim ca? Egypt kho ah maeh am dongah mamih n'ngol uh tih kodam la buh ka caak uh vaengah hlangping boeih he khokha neh duek sak ham maco he khosoek la kaimih nang khuen,” a ti uh.
4 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.
Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Kai loh nangmih ham vaan lamkah buh kan tlan sak ne. Pilnamte cet saeh lamtah hnin at ka a rhoehte amah khohnin ah yoep uh saeh. Ka olkhueng dongah a pongpa neh a pongpa pawt khaw amah ka noem dae eh.
5 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.”
A rhuk hnin dongla a pha vaengah hang khuen te soepsoei uh saeh. Te vaengah tah a hnin, hnin kah a yoep lakah rhaepnit lo saeh,” a ti nah.
6 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,
Te phoeiah Moses neh Aaron loh Israel ca boeih te, “BOEIPA loh nangmih Egypt kho lamkah n'khuen te hlaemhmah vaengahna ming uh bitni.
7 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?”
Mincangah BOEIPA kah thangpomnah tena hmuh uh bal bitni. BOEIPA soah nangmih kah kohuetnah te amahloha yaak. Tedae kaimih rhoi taengahna nul la na nul uh te kaimih rhoi tah ulae?” a ti nah.
8 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.”
Te phoeiah Moses loh, “BOEIPA loh nangmih he hlaem kah caak ham maeh neh mincang ah buh kodam la m'paek ham vaengah na kohuetnah neh amah taengah na nul te BOEIPAloha yaak coeng. Te dongah kaimih rhoi he ulae? Nangmih kah kohuetnahte kaimih rhoi taengah pawt tih BOEIPA taengah ni na kohuet uh,” a ti nah.
9 Then Moses said to Aaron, “Tell the whole congregation of Israel, ‘Come before the LORD, for He has heard your grumbling.’”
Te phoeiah Moses loh Aaron taengah, “Israel ca rhaengpuei boeih te, 'Nangmih kah kohuetnah te a yaak coeng dongah BOEIPA mikhmuh lana tawn uh laeh,’ ti nah,” a ti nah.
10 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.
Aaron loh Israel ca rhaengpuei boeih te a voek vaengah khosoek la a mael uh hatah BOEIPA thangpomnahte cingmai khuiah tarha tueng uh.
11 Then the LORD said to Moses,
Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
12 “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.’”
Israel ca rhoek kah kohuetnah te ka yaak. Amih te thui pah. 'Hlaem ah maehna caak uh tih, mincang ah buhna hah uh ni,’ ti nah. Te vaengah kai Yahweh he na Pathen la nan ming uh bitni,” a ti nah.
13 That evening quail came and covered the camp, and in the morning there was a layer of dew around the camp.
Hlaem a pha tangloeng vaengah tah tanghuem ha pawk tih rhaehhmuen te a thing. Mincang ah rhaehhmuen kaepvai kah buemtui te a khaan a om pah.
14 When the layer of dew had evaporated, there were thin flakes on the desert floor, as fine as frost on the ground.
Tedae buemtui kah a khaan a cing nen tah khosoek cirhong ah a kueluek a tham aka yit tarha om tih diklai ah vueltling bangla om.
15 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.
Te vaengah Israel ca rhoek loh a hmuh uh. Te dongah hlang loh a manuca taengah,” Manna la he,” a ti uh. Tete balae ti a ming uh pawt dongah Moses loh amih te, “He kah buh he BOEIPA loh nangmih taengah cakkoi la m'paek coeng.
16 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.’”
He ham he BOEIPA loh ol n'uen coeng. Hlang loh amah caak rhoeh ah rhut saeh. Na hinglu tarhingah hlangmi pakhat ham kosai pakhat van saeh. Hlang he amah dap ah aka om tarhingah khuen sak uh,” a ti nah.
17 So the Israelites did this. Some gathered more, and some less.
Tete Israel ca rhoek loh a ngai uh van tih baeko baepet lam khaw a rhuh uh.
18 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.
Kosai dongah a loeng uh tih baepet hoei pawt tih baeko lam khaw vaitah pawh. Hlang loh amah caak rhoeh ah a coi uh.
19 Then Moses said to them, “No one may keep any of it until morning.”
Te phoeiah Moses loh amih te, “Hlang khat long khaw te te mincang hil la paih boel saeh,” a ti nah.
20 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.
Tedae Moses ol te hnatun uh pawt tih hlang rhoek loh te te mincang hil a paih uh. Te vaengah a rhiit a poem pah tih a rhim dongah amih taengah Moses a thintoek.
21 Every morning each one gathered as much as was needed, and when the sun grew hot, it melted away.
Te phoeiah tah mincang, mincang bueng ah te te a rhuh uh. Hlang takuem loh amah caak rhoeh ah a rhuh dae khomik a bae vaengah a yut pah.
22 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.
Hnin rhuk a lo vaengah tah buh te hlang pakhat ham kosai panit a rhaeplaa rhuh uh. Te dongah rhaengpuei khoboei boeih tah cet uh tih Moses taengah puen uh.
23 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.’”
Te vaengah amih te, “He he BOEIPAloha thui coeng. Thangvuen tah BOEIPA ham koiyaeh Sabbath cim la om. Te dongah hai koi te hai uh lamtah thong koi te thong uh. A coih boeih te namamih ham rhoe uh lamtah mincang hil tuemkoi la om saeh,” a ti nah.
24 So they set it aside until morning as Moses had commanded, and it did not smell or contain any maggots.
Mosesloha uen bangla mincang hil a rhoe uh tangloeng vaengah rhim pawt tih a khuiah a rhit khaw om pawh.
25 “Eat it today,” Moses said, “because today is a Sabbath to the LORD. Today you will not find anything in the field.
Te phoeiah Moses loh, “Tihninah tete ca uh, Sabbath he BOEIPA kah khohnin ni. Tihnin ah ngawn tah diklai ah te te na hmu uh mahpawh.
26 For six days you may gather, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, it will not be there.”
Hnin rhuk khuiah ni te te na rhuh uh eh. Tedae a rhih hnin tah Sabbath coeng tih te vaengah om mahpawh,” a ti nah.
27 Yet on the seventh day some of the people went out to gather, but they did not find anything.
Te dongah a rhih hnin a pha vaengah rhuh hamla pilnam te mop uh dae hmu uh pawh.
28 Then the LORD said to Moses, “How long will you refuse to keep My commandments and instructions?
Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Ka olpaek neh ka olkhueng tuem ham he me hil nim na aal ve?
29 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.”
BOEIPA loh nangmih taengah Sabbath m'paek te hmu uh. Te dongah a rhuk hnin ah nangmih te hnin hnih caak te m'paek. A rhih hnin ah tah hlang he amah hmuenah khosa saeh lamtah hlang pakhat khaw amah hmuen lamloh cet boel saeh,” a ti nah.
30 So the people rested on the seventh day.
Te dongah pilnam khaw a rhih hnin ah duem van.
31 Now the house of Israel called the bread manna. It was white like coriander seed and tasted like wafers made with honey.
Te kah ming te Israel imkhui loh mannalaa khue. Tete sungsin tii bangla bok tih a tuihlim tah khoitui buhrhawm bangla om.
32 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.’”
Te phoeiah Moses loh, “He ol he BOEIPA long ni n'uen. Te te kosai a bae la na cadilcahma ham tuemkoi la om saeh. Te daengah ni Egypt kho lamloh nangmih kang khuen vaengkah khosoek ah nangmih buh kan cah te a hmu uh eh,” a ti.
33 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.”
Te phoeiah Moses loh Aaron te, “Am pakhat lo lamtah manna kosai a bae la pahoi sang. Te te na cadilcahma duela tuemkoi la BOEIPA mikhmuh ah tawn pah,” a ti nah.
34 And Aaron placed it in front of the Testimony, to be preserved just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
BOEIPA loh Moses taengah a uen bangla tuemkoi ham Aaronte laipainah hmai ah a khueh.
35 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.
Khosaknah khohmuen la a pawk uh hil kum sawmli khuiah Israel carhoek manna te a caak uh. Kanaan khohmuen a bawtnah la a pawk uh hil manna te a caak uh.
36 (Now an omer is a tenth of an ephah.)
Kosai parhate cangnoek khat lo ni.
