Exodus 16
1 The whole Israelite community left Elim and went to the Desert of Sin, between Elim and Sinai. This was on the fifteenth day of the second month after they had left the land of Egypt.
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.
2 There in the desert they complained to Moses and Aaron.
Ingo yen mwesis elos nukewa torkaskas nu sel Moses ac Aaron
3 “The Lord should've killed us back in Egypt!” the Israelites told them. “At least there we could sit down beside stewpots of meat and eat bread until we were full. But you had to bring all of us out here in the desert to starve us all to death!”
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.”
4 The Lord told Moses, “Just watch! I'm going to rain down bread from heaven for you! Each day the people are to go out and collect enough for that day. I'm going to test them by this to find out whether they'll follow my instructions or not.
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.
5 On the sixth day they are to collect twice as much as usual and prepare it.”
Ke len se akonkosr elos in use sunun len luo ac akmolyela.”
6 So Moses and Aaron explained to all the Israelites, “This evening you will have the proof that it was the Lord who led you out of Egypt,
Ouinge Moses ac Aaron fahk nu sin mwet Israel nukewa, “Oyeku kowos fah etu lah LEUM GOD pa uskowosme liki Egypt.
7 and in the morning you will see the glory of the Lord displayed as he responds to the complaints he's heard you making against him. For why should you be complaining to us? We're nobodies!”
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.”
8 Then Moses continued, “The Lord is going to give you meat to eat this evening and as much bread as you want in the morning, for he has heard your complaints against him. Why are you complaining to us nobodies? Your complaints aren't directed against us, but against the Lord.”
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.”
9 Then Moses said to Aaron, “Tell the whole Israelite community, ‘Present yourselves before the Lord, because he has heard your complaints.’”
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.”
10 While Aaron was still speaking to all the Israelites, they looked toward the desert and saw the glory of the Lord appear in a cloud.
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.
11 The Lord told Moses,
Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,
12 “I have heard the complaints of the Israelites. Tell them, ‘In the evening you will eat meat, and in the morning you will have as much bread as you want. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God.’”
“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.”
13 That evening quail flew in and landed, filling the camp. In the morning dew covered the ground all around the camp.
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.
14 Once the dew had gone, there was something thin and flaky on the desert, looking like frost crystals on the ground.
Ac ke aunfong uh wanginla, oasr ma na minini ac fisrasrsrasr se oan infohk uh yen mwesis uh. Arulana fisrasr in mokutkuti.
15 When the Israelites saw it, they asked each another, “What is it?” because they had no idea what it was. So Moses explained to them, “It's the bread the Lord has provided for you to eat.
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.
16 This is what the Lord has ordered you to do: ‘All of you shall collect as much as is needed. Take an omer for each person in your tent.’”
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.”
17 So the Israelites did as they were told. Some collected more, while others collected less.
Mwet Israel elos oru ouinge — kutu sifani yohk, ac kutu srik.
18 But when they measured it out in omers, those who had collected a lot didn't have any left over, while those who had only collected a little still had enough. Each person collected gathered as much as they needed to eat.
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.
19 Then Moses said to them, “No one is to leave any of it until the morning.”
Moses el fahk nu selos, “Wangin sie mwet fah karingin kutu ma inge nu ke len se tok ah.”
20 But some didn't listen to Moses. They did leave some of it until the morning, and it was full of maggots and smelled bad. Moses became angry with them.
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.
21 So each morning everyone collected as much as they needed, and when the sun became hot, it melted away to nothing.
Lotutang nukewa kais sie mwet sifauk fal nu ke lupa el enenu; ac ke faht uh foli ma lula fin fohk uh kofelik.
22 However, on the sixth day, they collected twice as much of this food, two omers for each person. All the Israelite leaders came and told Moses what they had done.
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,
23 Moses replied, “These are the Lord's instructions: ‘Tomorrow is a special day of rest, a holy Sabbath to honor the Lord. So bake what you want, and boil what you want. Then put to one side what's left and keep it until morning.’”
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.”
24 So they kept it until morning as Moses had ordered, and it didn't smell bad or have any maggots.
Ouinge elos orani ma lula nu ke len tok ah, in oana ma Moses el sapkin, na tiana pusrosrak ku ulauk.
25 Moses told them, “Eat it today, because today is a Sabbath to honor the Lord. Today you won't find anything out there.
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.
26 You can go out collecting for six days, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, it won't be there.”
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.”
27 However, on the seventh day some people still went out collecting, but they did not find anything.
Ke len se akitkosr kutu sin mwet uh illa in suk mwe mongo, a wangin ma elos konauk.
28 The Lord told Moses, “How long are you going to refuse to obey my commands and instructions?
Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, “Putaka pacl kowos mwet uh ac srangesr in akos ma nga sapkin uh?
29 You need to understand that the Lord has given you the Sabbath, so on the sixth day he will provide you with food for two days. On the seventh day, everyone has to stay where they are—no one needs to go out.”
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.”
30 So the people did no work on the seventh day.
Ouinge mwet uh tia orekma ke len se akitkosr.
31 The Israelites called the food manna. It was white like coriander seed and tasted like wafers with honey.
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.
32 Moses said, “This is what the Lord has ordered: ‘Keep an omer of manna as a reminder for future generations, so that they can see the food I used to feed you in the desert when I led you out of Egypt.’”
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.”
33 So Moses told Aaron, “Take a jar and put an omer of manna in it. Then place it before the Lord to be kept as a reminder for future generations.”
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.”
34 Aaron did so and placed the jar in front of the Testimony, to be preserved just as the Lord had ordered Moses.
Oana ma LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Moses, ouinge Aaron el filiya sufa sac mutun Tuptup in Wuleang, tuh in ku in karinginyukyang.
35 The Israelites ate manna forty years, until they came to the land where they would settle down—they ate manna until they arrived at the border of Canaan.
Mwet Israel elos mongo manna ke yac angngaul, nwe ke elos sun sisken facl Canaan, acn elos oakwuki we. (
36 (An omer is a tenth of an ephah.)
Mwe srikasrak flao in pacl meet pangpang “omer,” na omer se oana quart luo.)
