Exodus 16
1 The people journeyed on from Elim, and all the community of Israelites came to the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departure 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 The whole community of Israelites complained 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 The Israelites said to them, “If only we had died by Yahweh's hand in the land of Egypt when we were sitting by the pots of meat and were eating bread to the full. For you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill our whole community with hunger.”
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 Yahweh said to Moses, “I will rain down bread from heaven for you. The people will go out and gather a day's portion every day so that I may test them to see 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 It will come about on the sixth day, that they will gather twice as much as what they gathered every day before, and they will cook what they bring in.”
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 Then Moses and Aaron said to all the people of Israel, “In the evening you will know that it is Yahweh who has brought you out 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 In the morning you will see Yahweh's glory, for he hears your complaining against him. Who are we for you to complain 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 Moses also said, “You will know this when Yahweh gives you meat in the evening and bread in the morning to the full—for he has heard the complaints that you speak against him. Who are Aaron and I? Your complaints are not against us; they are against Yahweh.”
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 said to Aaron, “Say to all the community of the people of Israel, 'Come near before Yahweh, for he has heard your complaints.'”
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 It came about, as Aaron spoke to the whole community of the people of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, Yahweh's glory appeared in the 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 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
12 “I have heard the complaints of the people of Israel. Speak to them and say, 'In the evening you will eat meat, and in the morning you will be filled with bread. Then you will know that I am Yahweh 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 It came about in the evening that quails came up and covered the camp. In the morning the dew lay round about 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 dew was gone, there on the surface of the wilderness were thin flakes like 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 people of Israel saw it, they said one to another, “What is it?” They did not know what it was. Moses said to them, “It is the bread that Yahweh 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 command that Yahweh has given: 'You must gather, each one of you, the amount you need to eat, an omer for each person of the number of your people. This is how you will gather it: Gather enough to eat for every person who lives in your tent.'”
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 The people of Israel did so. Some gathered more, some gathered less.
Te te Israel ca rhoek loh a ngai uh van tih baeko baepet lam khaw a rhuh uh.
18 When they measured it with an omer measure, those who had gathered much had nothing left over, and those who had gathered little had no lack. Each person gathered enough to meet their need.
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 must leave 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 However, they did not listen to Moses. Some of them left some of it until morning, but it bred worms and became foul. Then Moses became 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 They gathered it morning by morning. Each person gathered enough to eat for that day. When 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 It came about that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each person. All the leaders of the community came and told this to 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 He said to them, “This is what Yahweh has said: 'Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy Sabbath in Yahweh's honor. Bake what you want to bake, and boil what you want to boil. All that remains over, set it aside for yourselves 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 So they set it aside until morning, as Moses had instructed. It did not become foul, nor was there any worm 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 Moses said, “Eat that food today, for today is a day reserved as a Sabbath to honor Yahweh. Today you will not find it in the fields.
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 You will gather it during six days, but the seventh day is the Sabbath. On the Sabbath there will be no manna.”
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 It came about on the seventh day that some of the people went out to gather manna, but they found none.
Te dongah a rhih hnin a pha vaengah rhuh hamla pilnam te mop uh dae hmu uh pawh.
28 Then Yahweh said to Moses, “How long will you refuse to keep my commandments and my laws?
Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Ka olpaek neh ka olkhueng tuem ham he me hil nim na aal ve?
29 See, Yahweh has given you the Sabbath. So on the sixth day he is giving you bread for two days. Each of you must stay in his own place; no one must go out 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 So the people rested on the seventh day.
Te dongah pilnam khaw a rhih hnin ah duem van.
31 The people of Israel called that food “manna.” It was white like coriander seed, and its taste was like wafers made 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 Moses said, “This is what Yahweh has commanded: 'Let an omer of manna be kept throughout your people's generations so that your descendants might see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, after I brought you out 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 Moses said to Aaron, “Take a pot and put an omer of manna into it. Preserve it before Yahweh to be kept throughout the people's 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 As Yahweh commanded Moses, Aaron stored it beside the covenant decrees in the ark.
BOEIPA loh Moses taengah a uen bangla tuemkoi ham Aaron te laipainah hmai ah a khueh.
35 The people of Israel ate manna forty years until they came to inhabited land. They ate it until they came to 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 of an ephah.
Kosai parha te cangnoek khat lo ni.
