< Exodus 16 >
1 And they set out from Elim. And the entire multitude of the sons of Israel arrived at the desert of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month, after they departed from the land of Egypt.
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 the entire congregation of the sons of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness.
Te vaengah Israel ca rhaengpuei boeih te khosoek kah Moses taeng neh Aaron taengah nul khaw nul uh.
3 And the sons of Israel said to them: “If only we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat around bowls of meat and ate bread until filled. Why have you led us away, into this desert, so that you might kill the entire multitude with famine?”
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. Let the people go out and collect what is sufficient for each day, so that I may test them, as to whether or not they will walk in my law.
Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Kai loh nangmih ham vaan lamkah buh kan tlan sak ne. Pilnam te cet saeh lamtah hnin at ka a rhoeh te amah khohnin ah yoep uh saeh. Ka olkhueng dongah a pongpa neh a pongpa pawt khaw amah ka noem dae eh.
5 But on the sixth day, let them prepare what they use for carrying, and let there be double what they were accustomed to collect on a single day.”
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 And Moses and Aaron said to the sons of Israel: “In the evening, you will know that the Lord has led you away from the land of Egypt.
Te phoeiah Moses neh Aaron loh Israel ca boeih te, “BOEIPA loh nangmih Egypt kho lamkah n'khuen te hlaemhmah vaengah na ming uh bitni.
7 And in the morning, you will see the glory of the Lord. For he has heard your murmuring against the Lord. But as for us, truly what are we, that you would whisper against us?”
Mincang ah BOEIPA kah thangpomnah te na hmuh uh bal bitni. BOEIPA soah nangmih kah kohuetnah te amah loh a yaak. Tedae kaimih rhoi taengah na nul la na nul uh te kaimih rhoi tah ulae?” a ti nah.
8 And Moses said: “In the evening, the Lord will give you flesh to eat, and in the morning, bread in fullness. For he has heard your murmurings that you have murmured against him. For what are we? Your murmuring is 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 BOEIPA loh a yaak coeng. Te dongah kaimih rhoi he ulae? Nangmih kah kohuetnah te kaimih rhoi taengah pawt tih BOEIPA taengah ni na kohuet uh,” a ti nah.
9 Moses also said to Aaron: “Say to the whole congregation of the sons of Israel, ‘Approach before the Lord. For he has heard your murmuring.’”
Te phoeiah Moses loh Aaron taengah, “Israel ca rhaengpuei boeih te, 'Nangmih kah kohuetnah te a yaak coeng dongah BOEIPA mikhmuh la na tawn uh laeh,’ ti nah,” a ti nah.
10 And when Aaron spoke to the entire assembly of the sons of Israel, they looked out toward the wilderness. And behold, the glory of the Lord appeared in a cloud.
Aaron loh Israel ca rhaengpuei boeih te a voek vaengah khosoek la a mael uh hatah BOEIPA thangpomnah te cingmai khuiah tarha tueng uh.
11 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
12 “I have heard the murmuring of the sons of Israel. Say to them: ‘In the evening, you will eat flesh, and in the morning, you will be filled with bread. And you shall know that I am the Lord your God.’”
Israel ca rhoek kah kohuetnah te ka yaak. Amih te thui pah. 'Hlaem ah maeh na caak uh tih, mincang ah buh na hah uh ni,’ ti nah. Te vaengah kai Yahweh he na Pathen la nan ming uh bitni,” a ti nah.
13 Therefore, it happened in the evening: quails, rising up, covered the camp. Likewise, in the morning, a dew lay all 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 And when it had covered the face of the earth, it appeared, in the wilderness, small and as if crushed with a pestle, similar to hoar-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 sons of Israel had seen it, they said one to another: “Manhu?” which means “What is this?” For they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them: “This 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. Te te 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 the word that the Lord has instructed. Let each one collect as much of it as is sufficient to eat. One omer for each head. According to the number of your souls which live in a tent, so will you take of it.”
He ham he BOEIPA loh ol n'uen coeng. Hlang loh amah caak rhoeh ah rhut saeh. Na hinglu tarhing ah hlangmi pakhat ham kosai pakhat van saeh. Hlang he amah dap ah aka om tarhing ah khuen sak uh,” a ti nah.
17 And the sons of Israel did so. And they collected: some more, others less.
Te te Israel ca rhoek loh a ngai uh van tih baeko baepet lam khaw a rhuh uh.
18 And they measured by the measure of an omer. He who collected more, did not have too much; nor did he who prepared less, find too little. But each one gathered according to what they were able 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 And Moses said to them, “Let no one leave any of it behind until morning.”
Te phoeiah Moses loh amih te, “Hlang khat long khaw te te mincang hil la paih boel saeh,” a ti nah.
20 And they did not listen to him, but they left some of it behind until morning, and it began to swarm with worms, and it putrefied. And Moses became angry against 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 Then each one collected, in the morning, as much as would be sufficient to eat. And after the sun became hot, it melted.
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 But on the sixth day, they collected a double portion, that is, two omers for each man. Then all the leaders among the multitude came, and they discoursed with Moses.
Hnin rhuk a lo vaengah tah buh te hlang pakhat ham kosai panit a rhaep la a rhuh uh. Te dongah rhaengpuei khoboei boeih tah cet uh tih Moses taengah puen uh.
23 And he said to them: “This is what the Lord has spoken: Tomorrow, the rest day of the Sabbath, has been sanctified to the Lord. Whatever would be done, do it now. And whatever would be cooked, cook it now. Then anything that will have been left over, store it until morning.”
Te vaengah amih te, “He he BOEIPA loh a 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 And they did just as Moses had instructed, and it did not putrefy, nor were there any worms found in it.
Moses loh a uen bangla mincang hil a rhoe uh tangloeng vaengah rhim pawt tih a khuiah a rhit khaw om pawh.
25 And Moses said: “Eat it today, because it is the Sabbath of the Lord. Today it will not be found in the field.
Te phoeiah Moses loh, “Tihnin ah te te ca uh, Sabbath he BOEIPA kah khohnin ni. Tihnin ah ngawn tah diklai ah te te na hmu uh mahpawh.
26 Gather for six days. But on the seventh day, it is the Sabbath of the Lord, for which reason it will not be found.”
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 And the seventh day arrived. And some of the people, going out to collect it, did not find it.
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 be unwilling to keep my commandments and my law?
Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Ka olpaek neh ka olkhueng tuem ham he me hil nim na aal ve?
29 See how the Lord has given you the Sabbath, and, because of this, on the sixth day he distributes to you a double portion. Let each one remain with his own, and let no one go forth from his place on the seventh day.”
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 hmuen ah khosa saeh lamtah hlang pakhat khaw amah hmuen lamloh cet boel saeh,” a ti nah.
30 And the people kept the Sabbath on the seventh day.
Te dongah pilnam khaw a rhih hnin ah duem van.
31 And the house of Israel called its name ‘Manna.’ It was like white coriander seed, and its taste was like wheat flour with honey.
Te kah ming te Israel imkhui loh manna la a khue. Te te sungsin tii bangla bok tih a tuihlim tah khoitui buhrhawm bangla om.
32 Then Moses said: “This is the word that the Lord has instructed: Fill an omer of it, and let it be kept for future generations hereafter, so that they may know the bread, with which I nourished you in the wilderness, when you had been led away from 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 And Moses said to Aaron, “Take one vessel, and put manna into it, as much as an omer is able to hold. And store it in the sight of the Lord, to keep for your generations,
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 just as the Lord instructed Moses.” And so, Aaron placed it in the tabernacle, in reserve.
BOEIPA loh Moses taengah a uen bangla tuemkoi ham Aaron te laipainah hmai ah a khueh.
35 Now the sons of Israel ate manna for forty years, until they arrived in a habitable land. With this food they were nourished, even until they touched the borders of the land of Canaan.
Khosak nah khohmuen la a pawk uh hil kum sawmli khuiah Israel ca rhoek 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 part of an ephah.
Kosai parha te cangnoek khat lo ni.
