Thaama 16
1 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.
And 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 departure from the land of Egypt.
2 Kũu werũ-inĩ, mũingĩ ũcio wothe nĩwatetirie Musa na Harũni.
And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness:
3 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.”
And the children of Israel said to them, O that we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we ate bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.
4 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.
Then said the LORD to Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may test them, whether they will walk in my law, or not.
5 Mũthenya wa gatandatũ-rĩ, marĩharagĩria kĩrĩa mainũkia, nakĩo gĩkoragwo kĩrĩ maita meerĩ ma kĩrĩa monganagia mĩthenya ĩrĩa ĩngĩ.”
And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.
6 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa na Harũni makĩĩra andũ othe a Isiraeli atĩrĩ, “Hwaĩ-inĩ-rĩ, nĩmũrĩmenya atĩ nĩ Jehova wamũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri,
And Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, At evening, then ye shall know that the LORD hath brought you out from the land of Egypt:
7 na rũciinĩ nĩmũkona riiri wa Jehova, tondũ nĩaiguĩte ũrĩa mũmũtetetie. Ithuĩ tũkĩrĩ a, atĩ nĩguo mũtũtetie?”
And in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of the LORD; for that he heareth your murmurings against the LORD: and what are we, that ye murmur against us?
8 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.”
And Moses said, This shall be, when the LORD shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the LORD heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against the LORD.
9 Ningĩ Musa akĩĩra Harũni atĩrĩ, “Ĩra mũingĩ wothe wa Isiraeli atĩrĩ, ‘Ũkai mbere ya Jehova, nĩgũkorwo nĩaiguĩte gũteta kwanyu.’”
And Moses spoke to Aaron, Say to all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before the LORD: for he hath heard your murmurings.
10 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Harũni aaragĩria mũingĩ wothe wa Isiraeli-rĩ, makĩrora na mwena wa werũ-inĩ, na kũu makĩona riiri wa Jehova ũrĩ itu-inĩ.
And it came to pass, as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud.
11 Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
12 “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.’”
I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak to them, saying, At evening ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God.
13 Hwaĩ-inĩ ũcio gũgĩũka tũnyoni tũrĩa twĩtagwo tũmakia-arũme tũkĩiyũra kambĩ ciao. Naguo rũciinĩ kwarĩ ime rĩathiũrũrũkĩirie kambĩ ciao.
And it came to pass, that at evening the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay around the host.
14 Ime rĩaitĩka-rĩ, gũkĩoneka tũthendũ twa gĩthiũrũrĩ tũhaana maaĩ magandie nĩ mbaa, tũgwĩte thĩ kũu werũ-inĩ.
And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the ground.
15 Rĩrĩa andũ a Isiraeli maatuonire, makĩũrania atĩrĩ, “Gĩkĩ nĩ kĩĩ?” nĩgũkorwo matiamenyaga nĩ kĩĩ. Musa akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Nĩ mĩgate ĩrĩa Jehova amũheete mũrĩe.
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 to them, This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat.
16 Jehova aathanĩte ũũ: ‘O mũndũ nĩonganie o ĩrĩa ĩkũmũigana. Oyagai o kĩbaba kĩmwe kĩa omeri kĩa o mũndũ wothe ũrĩ hema-inĩ cianyu.’”
This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer for every man, according to the number of your persons; take ye every man for them who are in his tents.
17 Andũ a Isiraeli magĩĩka o ta ũrĩa meerirwo; amwe makĩũngania mĩingĩ, na amwe makĩũngania mĩnini.
And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less.
18 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.
And when they measured it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating.
19 Ningĩ Musa akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Gũtikagĩe mũndũ ũkũiga kĩndũ o na kĩnini kĩayo nginya rũciinĩ.”
And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning.
20 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.
However they hearkened not to Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank: and Moses was angry with them.
21 O rũciinĩ mũndũ o mũndũ nĩoyaga ĩrĩa abatairio nĩyo, narĩo riũa rĩahiũha ĩgatweka.
And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun became hot, it melted.
22 Mũthenya wa gatandatũ-rĩ, nĩmoonganagia maita meerĩ; ibaba igĩrĩ cia omeri harĩ o mũndũ. Nao atongoria a mũingĩ magĩũka makĩĩra Musa ũhoro ũcio.
And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one man: and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.
23 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.’”
And he said to them, This is that which the LORD hath said, To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath to the LORD: bake that which ye will bake to day, and boil that ye will boil; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.
24 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩiga imwe nginya rũciinĩ, o ta ũrĩa maathĩtwo nĩ Musa, nacio itiigana kũnunga, kana kũgĩa na igunyũ.
And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses ordered: and it did not stink, neither was there any worm in it.
25 Musa akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Cirĩei ũmũthĩ, tondũ ũmũthĩ nĩ mũthenya wa Thabatũ ya Jehova. Ũmũthĩ mũtigũciona igwĩte thĩ.
And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbath to the LORD: to day ye shall not find it in the field.
26 Mĩthenya ĩtandatũ nĩguo mũrĩciũnganagia, no mũthenya wa mũgwanja-rĩ, ũcio wa Thabatũ, gũtirĩkoragwo kũrĩ kĩndũ o na kĩ.”
Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.
27 No rĩrĩ, andũ amwe makiumagara mũthenya ũcio wa mũgwanja, magĩthiĩ gũciũngania, nao matiigana kuona kĩndũ.
And it came to pass, that some of the people went out on the seventh day to gather, and they found none.
28 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Nĩ nginya hĩndĩ ĩrĩkũ mũgũtũũra mũregete kũmenyerera maathani makwa na kũigua ũrutani wakwa?
And the LORD said to Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?
29 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.”
See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.
30 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ makĩhurũka mũthenya wa mũgwanja.
So the people rested on the seventh day.
31 Andũ a Isiraeli magĩĩta mĩgate ĩyo mana. Maarĩ merũ ta mbegũ cia korianda, na maacamaga ta tũmĩgate tũthondeketwo na ũũkĩ.
And the house of Israel called its name Manna: and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.
32 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.’”
And Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD commanded, Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they may see the bread that I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.
33 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.”
And 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 for your generations.
34 O ta ũrĩa Jehova aathire Musa-rĩ, Harũni akĩiga mana mbere ya ithandũkũ rĩa Ũira, nĩguo matũũre ho.
As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
35 Andũ a Isiraeli maarĩire mana mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna nginya magĩkinya bũrũri ũrĩa watũũragwo nĩ andũ; maarĩire mana nginya rĩrĩa maakinyire mũhaka-inĩ wa Kaanani.
And the children of Israel ate manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited; they ate manna, until they came to the borders of the land of Canaan.
36 (Omeri ĩmwe ĩigana ta gĩcunjĩ gĩa ikũmi kĩa eba ĩmwe.)
Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
