< Exodus 16 >

1 And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt.
Pea naʻe hiki honau fononga mei ʻElimi, pea haʻu ʻae fakataha kotoa pē ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ki he toafa ko Sini, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo ʻElimi mo Sainai, ʻi hono hongofulu ma nima ʻoe ʻaho, ʻi hono ua ʻoe māhina, hili ʻenau haʻu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite.
2 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness:
Pea naʻe lāunga ʻi he toafa ʻae fakataha kotoa pē ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli kia Mōsese mo ʻElone.
3 And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God that we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh-pot, when we ate bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.
Pea naʻe lea ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli kiate kinaua, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku mau fakaʻamu ki he ʻOtua, naʻa mau mate ʻi he nima ʻo Sihova ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻi heʻemau kei tauʻutu ofi ki he ngaahi kulo kakano, pea ne mau kai mā ʻo mākona; he kuo mo ʻomi ʻakimautolu ki he toafa ni, ke tāmateʻi ʻae fakataha ni kotoa pē ʻaki ʻae fiekaia.”
4 Then said the Lord unto Moses, Behold, I will let rain for you bread from heaven; and the people shall go out and gather a certain portion every day, in order that I may prove it, whether it will walk in my law, or not.
Pea naʻe folofola ai ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “Vakai, Te u fakaʻuha ʻae mā mei he langi maʻamoutolu: pea ʻe ʻalu atu ʻae kakai ʻo tānaki fakatuhotuha ki he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻae mā, koeʻuhi ke u ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻakinautolu, pe te nau felakaʻi ʻi heʻeku ngaahi fekau pe ʻikai.
5 And it shall come to pass, on the sixth day, when they prepare what they shall have brought in, that it shall be twice as much as they shall gather daily.
Pea ʻi hono ono ʻoe ʻaho ʻe fai pehē, te nau ngaohi ʻaia kuo na tuku, pea ʻe tuʻoua hono lahi hake ʻi he mā ʻoku nau ʻomi ʻi he ʻaho kehe.”
6 And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At evening, then shall ye know that it is the Lord who hath brought you out from the land of Egypt:
Pea naʻe tala ʻe Mōsese mo ʻElone ki he fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli, “Te mou toki ʻilo ʻi he efiafi, kuo ʻomi ʻe Sihova ʻakimoutolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite:
7 And in the morning, then shall ye see the glory of the Lord; since he heareth your murmurings against the Lord; and what are we, that ye should murmur against us?
Pea ʻi he ʻapongipongi, te mou mamata ki he nāunau ʻo Sihova he ʻoku ne ʻafioʻi hoʻomou ngaahi lāunga pea ko hai ʻakimaua, koeʻuhi ke mou hanu ai kiate kimaua?”
8 And Moses said, When the Lord giveth you in the evening flesh to eat, and bread in the morning to the full; since the Lord heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: —what are we then? not against us are your murmurings, but against the Lord.
Pea pehē ʻe Mōsese, “ʻE tuku ʻe Sihova ʻae kakano kiate kimoutolu ʻi he efiafi, mo e mā ʻi he pongipongi ke mou mākona ai; he ʻoku ʻafioʻi ʻe Sihova hoʻomou lāunga ʻaia ʻoku mou lāunga ai kiate ia: pea ko hai ʻakimaua? ʻOku ʻikai kiate kimaua hoʻomou lāunga, ka kia Sihova.”
9 And Moses said unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before the Lord; for he hath heard your murmurings.
Pea naʻe lea ʻa Mōsese kia ʻElone, “Tala ki he fakataha kotoa pē ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, Mou haʻu ʻo ofi ki he ʻao ʻo Sihova he kuo ne ʻafioʻi hoʻomou lāunga.”
10 And it came to pass, as Aaron was speaking unto the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they turned round toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud.
Pea vakai lolotonga ʻae lea ʻa ʻElone ki he fakataha kotoa pē ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, naʻa nau sio atu ki he toafa, pea vakai, kuo ha mai ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova ʻi he ʻao.
11 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
12 I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, Toward evening ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the Eternal your God.
“Kuo u ongoʻi ʻae lāunga ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: lea kiate kinautolu ʻo pehē, ʻi he efiafi te mou kai kakano, pea ʻi he pongipongi te mou mākona ʻi he mā: pea te mou ʻilo ko au ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.”
13 And it came to pass, that at evening the quails came up, and covered the camp; and in the morning there was a layer of dew round about the camp.
Pea ʻi heʻene efiafi naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe haʻu ʻae fuifui kueili, pea naʻe ʻuʻufi ʻae ʻapitanga; pea ʻi he pongipongi naʻe ʻufiʻufi takatakai ʻae ʻapitanga ʻe he hahau.
14 And when the layer of dew was gone up, behold, there was upon the face of the wilderness something fine in grains, small as the hoar-frost, on the ground.
Pea ʻi he ʻalu hake ʻae hahau naʻe ʻūfia ai, vakai, naʻe ʻi ai ʻi he funga toafa ʻae meʻa siʻi potopoto, ʻo hangē ko e hahau fefeka ʻi he kelekele.
15 And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna, for they knew not what it was; and Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the Lord hath given you to eat.
Pea ʻi he mamata ki ai ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, naʻa nau fepehēʻaki, “Ko e hā ia?” He naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo pe ko e hā. Pea pehē ʻe Mōsese kiate kinautolu, “Ko e mā eni kuo foaki mai ʻe Sihova ke mou kai.
16 This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating: an omer for every head, according to the number of your persons that every man hath in his tent, shall ye take.
Ko eni ʻae meʻa kuo fekau ʻe Sihova, Tānaki ia ʻe he tangata kotoa pē ʻo fakatatau ki heʻene kai, ko e oma ʻe taha mā ʻae tangata taki taha, ʻo fakatatau ki he lau ʻo homou kakai; ke toʻo taki taha ʻae tangata maʻanautolu ʻoku ʻi hono ngaahi fale fehikitaki.”
17 And the children of Israel did so; and they gathered, some much, some little.
Pea naʻe fai pehē ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo tānaki ia, naʻe lahi ʻae niʻihi, pea siʻi ʻae niʻihi.
18 And when they measured it with an omer, he that had gathered much had nothing over, and he that had gathered little had no lack: every man according to his eating, had they gathered.
Pea kuo fakafuofua ʻaki ia ʻae oma, naʻe ʻikai hano toe, kiate ia naʻe tānaki ʻo lahi, pea ko ia naʻe tānaki siʻi naʻe ʻikai hano masiva; naʻa nau tānaki ʻae tangata taki taha ʻo fakatatau ki heʻene kai.
19 And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning.
Pea pehē ʻe Mōsese, “ʻOua naʻa tuku ʻe ha tangata hano toe ki he ʻapongipongi.”
20 But they hearkened not unto Moses; but some men left of it until morning, and it bred worms, and stank; and Moses was wroth with them.
Ka naʻe ʻikai te nau tokanga kia Mōsese; ka ko honau niʻihi naʻe tuku hano toe ki he ʻapongipongi, pea naʻe ʻuangahia ia, pea namuaʻa; pea naʻe ʻita ʻa Mōsese kiate kinautolu.
21 And so they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating; and when the sun waxed hot, it melted.
Pea naʻa nau tānaki ia ʻi he pongipongi kotoa pē, ʻae tangata taki taha ʻo tatau mo ʻene kai: pea ʻi he hoko ʻo vela ʻae laʻā, naʻe vai ʻo ʻosi ia.
22 And it came to pass on the sixth day, that they gathered twofold bread, two omers for every one; all the rulers of the congregation came and told it to Moses.
Pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki hono ono ʻoe ʻaho, naʻa nau tānaki ʻo tuʻo ua hono lahi hake ʻoe mā, ko e oma ʻe ua ki he tangata pe taha: pea naʻe haʻu ʻae kau pule kotoa pē ʻoe kakai ʻo tala ia kia Mōsese.
23 And he said unto them. This is what the Lord hath spoken, A rest, a holy rest is unto the Lord tomorrow: that which ye will bake bake today, and what ye will seethe seethe today; and all the remaining lay up for you to be kept until the morning.
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko eni ia kuo folofola ai ʻa Sihova, Ko e mālōlō ʻoe Sāpate māʻoniʻoni kia Sihova ʻapongipongi: taʻo he ʻaho ni, ʻaia te mou taʻo, pea haka ʻaia te mou haka: pea ko ia ʻoku toe, hilifaki ia ki he ʻapongipongi maʻamoutolu.”
24 And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses had bidden; and it did not stink, nor was there any worm therein.
Pea naʻa nau hilifaki ki he ʻapongipongi, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Mōsese: pea naʻe ʻikai namuaʻa, pea naʻe ʻikai ha ʻuanga ʻi ai.
25 And Moses said, Eat it today; for a sabbath is this day unto the Lord: today ye will not find it in the field.
Pea pehē ʻe Mōsese, “Kai ia he ʻaho ni; he ko e ʻaho ni ko e Sāpate ia kia Sihova: ʻe ʻikai te mou ʻilo ia he ʻaho ni ʻi he ngoue.
26 Six days shall ye gather it; but on the seventh day, the sabbath, on it there shall be none.
Ko e ʻaho ʻe ono te mou tānaki ia; ka ʻi hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho ʻaia ko e Sāpate, ʻe ʻikai siʻi ʻi ai ia.”
27 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that there went out some of the people to gather; but they found nothing.
Pea hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe ʻalu kituaʻā ʻae niʻihi ʻi he kakai ʻi hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho ke tānaki, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo ia.
28 And the Lord said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “ʻE tuku ʻafē hoʻomou taʻefietauhi ʻeku ngaahi fekau mo ʻeku ngaahi fono?
29 See, that the Lord hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day bread for two days; remain ye, every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.
Vakai, ko e meʻa ʻi he foaki ʻe Sihova ʻae Sāpate kiate kimoutolu, ko ia ʻoku ne foaki ai kiate kimoutolu ʻi hono ono ʻoe ʻaho, ʻae mā ki he ʻaho ʻe ua: mou nofomaʻu taki taha ʻae tangata ʻi hono potu, ʻoua naʻa ʻalu ha tangata ʻe tokotaha mei hono potu ʻi hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho.”
30 So the people rested on the seventh day.
Ko ia naʻe mālōlō ai ʻae kakai ʻi hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho.
31 And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna, [[Man]]; and it was like coriander-seed, white, and its taste was like wafers made with honey.
Pea naʻe ui hono hingoa ʻe he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, ko e Mana: pea naʻe hinehina ia ʻo hangē ko e tengaʻi kolianita; pea ko hono ifo naʻe hangē ha mā kuo ngaohi ʻaki ʻae honi.
32 And Moses said, This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded, One omer-full of it is to be kept for your generations; in order that they may see the bread which I gave you to eat in the wilderness, when I brought you forth out of the land of Egypt.
Pea pehē ʻe Mōsese, “Ko eni ʻae meʻa kuo fekau ʻe Sihova, Fakapito ʻaki ia ʻae oma ʻe taha ke fakatolonga ki homou toʻutangata ʻamui: koeʻuhi ke nau mamata ki he mā naʻaku fafanga ʻaki ʻakimoutolu ʻi he toafa, ʻi heʻeku ʻomi ʻakimoutolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite.”
33 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a flask, and put therein an omer-full of manna, and lay it up before the Lord, to be kept for your generations.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese kia ʻElone, “Toʻo mai ha ipu, pea fakapito ʻae oma ʻe taha ʻi he mana ʻo lingi ia ki ai, pea hili ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ke tauhi maʻa homou ngaahi toʻutangata.”
34 As the Lord had commanded Moses, so did Aaron lay it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
Pea naʻe hili ia ʻe ʻElone ʻi he ʻao ʻoe Fuakava ke tauhi ia ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese.
35 And the children of Israel ate the manna forty years, until they came to an inhabited land; the manna they did eat, until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan.
Pea naʻe kai mana ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu, ʻo aʻu ki heʻenau hoko ki he fonua naʻe kakai; naʻa nau kai mana ʻo aʻu ki heʻenau hoko ki he veʻe fonua ʻo Kēnani.
36 But the omer is a tenth part of an ephah.
Pea ko e oma, ko hono vahe hongofulu ia ʻoe efa.
