Exodus 16
1 They took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came to 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.
Mũingĩ wothe wa Isiraeli nĩwoimagararire ũkiuma Elimu ũgĩkinya Werũ wa Sini, ũrĩa ũrĩ gatagatĩ ka Elimu na kĩrĩma gĩa Sinai, mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩtano wa mweri wa keerĩ thuutha wao kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri.
2 The whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness;
Kũu werũ-inĩ, mũingĩ ũcio wothe nĩwatetirie Musa na Harũni.
3 and the children of Israel said to them, “We wish that we had died by the LORD’s hand in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the meat pots, when we ate our fill of bread, for you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger.”
Andũ a Isiraeli makĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Naarĩ korwo Jehova aatũũragĩire bũrũri wa Misiri na guoko gwake! Kũu twaikaraga tũthiũrũrũkĩirie nyũngũ cia nyama, na tũkarĩĩaga o kĩrĩa gĩothe twendaga, no inyuĩ mũtũrehete gũkũ werũ-inĩ nĩguo mũũrage kĩũngano gĩkĩ gĩothe na ngʼaragu.”
4 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I will rain bread from the sky for you, and the people shall go out and gather a day’s portion every day, that I may test them, whether they will walk in my law or not.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Ngũmuurĩria mĩgate kuuma igũrũ ta mbura. Andũ mariumaga nja o mũthenya makongania mĩgate ya kũmaigana o mũthenya ũcio. Ngũmageria na njĩra ĩyo nyone kana nĩmekũrũmĩrĩra ũrutani wakwa.
5 It shall come to pass on the sixth day, that they shall prepare that which they bring in, and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.”
Mũthenya wa gatandatũ-rĩ, marĩharagĩria kĩrĩa mainũkia, nakĩo gĩkoragwo kĩrĩ maita meerĩ ma kĩrĩa monganagia mĩthenya ĩrĩa ĩngĩ.”
6 Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, “At evening, you shall know that the LORD has brought you out from the land of Egypt.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa na Harũni makĩĩra andũ othe a Isiraeli atĩrĩ, “Hwaĩ-inĩ-rĩ, nĩmũrĩmenya atĩ nĩ Jehova wamũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri,
7 In the morning, you shall see the LORD’s glory; because he hears your murmurings against the LORD. Who are we, that you murmur against us?”
na rũciinĩ nĩmũkona riiri wa Jehova, tondũ nĩaiguĩte ũrĩa mũmũtetetie. Ithuĩ tũkĩrĩ a, atĩ nĩguo mũtũtetie?”
8 Moses said, “Now the LORD will give you meat to eat in the evening, and in the morning bread to satisfy you, because the LORD hears your murmurings which you murmur against him. And who are we? Your murmurings are not against us, but against the LORD.”
O na ningĩ Musa akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Nĩmũkamenya atĩ ũcio nĩ Jehova, rĩrĩa akaamũhe nyama mũrĩe hwaĩ-inĩ na amũhe mĩgate ĩrĩa yothe mũkwenda rũciinĩ, tondũ nĩaiguĩte ũrĩa mũmũtetetie. Ithuĩ tũkĩrĩ a? Ti ithuĩ mũratetia, no nĩ Jehova mũratetia.”
9 Moses said to Aaron, “Tell all the congregation of the children of Israel, ‘Come close to the LORD, for he has heard your murmurings.’”
Ningĩ Musa akĩĩra Harũni atĩrĩ, “Ĩra mũingĩ wothe wa Isiraeli atĩrĩ, ‘Ũkai mbere ya Jehova, nĩgũkorwo nĩaiguĩte gũteta kwanyu.’”
10 As Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the children of Israel, they looked toward the wilderness, and behold, the LORD’s glory appeared in the cloud.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Harũni aaragĩria mũingĩ wothe wa Isiraeli-rĩ, makĩrora na mwena wa werũ-inĩ, na kũu makĩona riiri wa Jehova ũrĩ itu-inĩ.
11 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
12 “I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel. Speak to them, saying, ‘At evening you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread. Then you will know that I am the LORD your God.’”
“Nĩnjiguĩte gũteta kwa andũ a Isiraeli. Meere atĩrĩ, ‘Hwaĩ-inĩ mũrĩrĩĩaga nyama na rũciinĩ mũkarĩa mĩgate mũkahũũna. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmũkamenya atĩ niĩ, nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu.’”
13 In the evening, quail came up and covered the camp; and in the morning the dew lay around the camp.
Hwaĩ-inĩ ũcio gũgĩũka tũnyoni tũrĩa twĩtagwo tũmakia-arũme tũkĩiyũra kambĩ ciao. Naguo rũciinĩ kwarĩ ime rĩathiũrũrũkĩirie kambĩ ciao.
14 When the dew that lay had gone, behold, on the surface of the wilderness was a small round thing, small as the frost on the ground.
Ime rĩaitĩka-rĩ, gũkĩoneka tũthendũ twa gĩthiũrũrĩ tũhaana maaĩ magandie nĩ mbaa, tũgwĩte thĩ kũu werũ-inĩ.
15 When the children of Israel saw it, they said to one another, “What is it?” For they didn’t know what it was. Moses said to them, “It is the bread which the LORD has given you to eat.
Rĩrĩa andũ a Isiraeli maatuonire, makĩũrania atĩrĩ, “Gĩkĩ nĩ kĩĩ?” nĩgũkorwo matiamenyaga nĩ kĩĩ. Musa akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Nĩ mĩgate ĩrĩa Jehova amũheete mũrĩe.
16 This is the thing which the LORD has commanded: ‘Gather of it everyone according to his eating; an omer a head, according to the number of your persons, you shall take it, every man for those who are in his tent.’”
Jehova aathanĩte ũũ: ‘O mũndũ nĩonganie o ĩrĩa ĩkũmũigana. Oyagai o kĩbaba kĩmwe kĩa omeri kĩa o mũndũ wothe ũrĩ hema-inĩ cianyu.’”
17 The children of Israel did so, and some gathered more, some less.
Andũ a Isiraeli magĩĩka o ta ũrĩa meerirwo; amwe makĩũngania mĩingĩ, na amwe makĩũngania mĩnini.
18 When they measured it with an omer, he who gathered much had nothing over, and he who gathered little had no lack. They each gathered according to his eating.
Na rĩrĩa yathimirwo na kĩbaba kĩa omeri, gũkĩoneka atĩ ũrĩa wonganĩtie mĩingĩ-rĩ, ndaarĩ na mĩingĩ makĩria; nake ũrĩa wonganirie mĩnini, ndaarĩ na mĩnini makĩria. O mũndũ oonganĩtie mũigana wa ũrĩa aabataire.
19 Moses said to them, “Let no one leave of it until the morning.”
Ningĩ Musa akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Gũtikagĩe mũndũ ũkũiga kĩndũ o na kĩnini kĩayo nginya rũciinĩ.”
20 Notwithstanding they didn’t listen to Moses, but some of them left of it until the morning, so it bred worms and became foul; and Moses was angry with them.
No rĩrĩ, amwe matiigana kũrũmbũiya ũrĩa Musa oigire; makĩĩigĩra ĩmwe yayo nginya rũciinĩ, nayo ĩgĩkorwo ĩiyũrĩte igunyũ na ĩkambĩrĩria kũnunga. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa akĩrakario nĩo.
21 They gathered it morning by morning, everyone according to his eating. When the sun grew hot, it melted.
O rũciinĩ mũndũ o mũndũ nĩoyaga ĩrĩa abatairio nĩyo, narĩo riũa rĩahiũha ĩgatweka.
22 On the sixth day, they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one; and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.
Mũthenya wa gatandatũ-rĩ, nĩmoonganagia maita meerĩ; ibaba igĩrĩ cia omeri harĩ o mũndũ. Nao atongoria a mũingĩ magĩũka makĩĩra Musa ũhoro ũcio.
23 He said to them, “This is that which the LORD has spoken, ‘Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy Sabbath to the LORD. Bake that which you want to bake, and boil that which you want to boil; and all that remains over lay up for yourselves to be kept until the morning.’”
Nake Musa akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ũũ nĩguo Jehova aathanĩte, ‘Rũciũ nĩ mũthenya wa kũhurũka, Thabatũ Theru ya Jehova. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio rugai ĩrĩa yothe mũkwenda kũruga, na mũcamũkie kĩrĩa gĩothe mũkwenda gũcamũkia. Kĩrĩa gĩgũtigara-rĩ, mũkĩige nginya rũciinĩ.’”
24 They laid it up until the morning, as Moses ordered, and it didn’t become foul, and there were no worms in it.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩiga imwe nginya rũciinĩ, o ta ũrĩa maathĩtwo nĩ Musa, nacio itiigana kũnunga, kana kũgĩa na igunyũ.
25 Moses said, “Eat that today, for today is a Sabbath to the LORD. Today you shall not find it in the field.
Musa akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Cirĩei ũmũthĩ, tondũ ũmũthĩ nĩ mũthenya wa Thabatũ ya Jehova. Ũmũthĩ mũtigũciona igwĩte thĩ.
26 Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day is the Sabbath. In it there shall be none.”
Mĩthenya ĩtandatũ nĩguo mũrĩciũnganagia, no mũthenya wa mũgwanja-rĩ, ũcio wa Thabatũ, gũtirĩkoragwo kũrĩ kĩndũ o na kĩ.”
27 On the seventh day, some of the people went out to gather, and they found none.
No rĩrĩ, andũ amwe makiumagara mũthenya ũcio wa mũgwanja, magĩthiĩ gũciũngania, nao matiigana kuona kĩndũ.
28 The LORD said to Moses, “How long do you refuse to keep my commandments and my laws?
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Nĩ nginya hĩndĩ ĩrĩkũ mũgũtũũra mũregete kũmenyerera maathani makwa na kũigua ũrutani wakwa?
29 Behold, because the LORD has given you the Sabbath, therefore he gives you on the sixth day the bread of two days. Everyone stay in his place. Let no one go out of his place on the seventh day.”
Menyai atĩ Jehova nĩamũheete Thabatũ; na nĩkĩo amũheaga mĩgate ya mĩthenya ĩĩrĩ mũthenya ũcio wa gatandatũ. Mũndũ o wothe nĩaikarage harĩa arĩ mũthenya ũcio wa mũgwanja; gũtikanagĩe mũndũ ũkumagara.”
30 So the people rested on the seventh day.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ makĩhurũka mũthenya wa mũgwanja.
31 The house of Israel called its name “Manna”, and it was like coriander seed, white; and its taste was like wafers with honey.
Andũ a Isiraeli magĩĩta mĩgate ĩyo mana. Maarĩ merũ ta mbegũ cia korianda, na maacamaga ta tũmĩgate tũthondeketwo na ũũkĩ.
32 Moses said, “This is the thing which the LORD has commanded, ‘Let an omer-full of it be kept throughout your generations, that they may see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.’”
Musa akiuga atĩrĩ, “Jehova aathanĩte atĩrĩ; ‘Oyai kĩbaba kĩa omeri ĩmwe ya mana na mũkĩige nĩ ũndũ wa njiarwa iria igooka thuutha, nĩgeetha makoona mĩgate ĩrĩa ndaamũheire mũrĩe mũrĩ werũ-inĩ, rĩrĩa ndamũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri.’”
33 Moses said to Aaron, “Take a pot, and put an omer-full of manna in it, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept throughout your generations.”
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa akĩĩra Harũni atĩrĩ, “Oya ndigithũ na wĩkĩre omeri ĩmwe ya mana thĩinĩ wayo. Ningĩ ũcooke ũmĩige mbere ya Jehova ĩigĩrwo njiarwa iria igooka thuutha.”
34 As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
O ta ũrĩa Jehova aathire Musa-rĩ, Harũni akĩiga mana mbere ya ithandũkũ rĩa Ũira, nĩguo matũũre ho.
35 The children of Israel ate the manna forty years, until they came to an inhabited land. They ate the manna until they came to the borders of the land of Canaan.
Andũ a Isiraeli maarĩire mana mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna nginya magĩkinya bũrũri ũrĩa watũũragwo nĩ andũ; maarĩire mana nginya rĩrĩa maakinyire mũhaka-inĩ wa Kaanani.
36 Now an omer is one tenth of an efah.
(Omeri ĩmwe ĩigana ta gĩcunjĩ gĩa ikũmi kĩa eba ĩmwe.)
