Pukaana 16
1 HELE mai la lakou, mai Elima mai, a hiki mai la ka poe mamo a pau a Iseraela i ka waonahele i Sina, he wahi ia mawaena o, Elima a me Sinai, o ka la umikumamalima ia o ka malama alua, mai ko lakou puka ana mai iwaho, mai ka aina o Aigupita mai.
They/We left Elim, and all the Israeli people came to the desert [named] Sin. That is between Elim and Sinai [Mountain]. That was on the fifteenth day of the second month after they/we left Egypt.
2 Ohumu ae la ka poe mamo a pau a Iseraela ia Mose ma laua o Aarona, ma ka waonahele;
There in the desert, the Israeli [HYP] people complained to Aaron and Moses/me.
3 I mai la na mamo a Iseraela ia laua, Ina i haawiia mai ka make no kakou, i ka lima o Iehova, ma ka aina o Aigupita, i ka wa a kakou i noho ai ma na ipu ia, a ai aku no hoi kakou i ka ai a maona; no ka mea, ua lawe mai olua ia kakou, maloko o keia waonahele, e pepehi i keia poe a pau i ka pololi.
They said to them/us, “We wish that Yahweh had killed us in Egypt! There we had meat to eat, and all the bread that we wanted. But you have brought us into this desert in order that we will all starve to death!”
4 I mai la o Iehova ia Mose, Aia hoi, e hooua aku au i ka ai, mai ka lani aku; a e hele aku na kanaka mawaho, e hoouluulu i ko ka la ma ia la, i hoao aku ai au ia lakou, e hele paha lakou ma ko'u kanawai, aole paha.
Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Listen to what I am going [to do]. I am going to send something from the sky that will [take the place of] bread for all of you. When I do that, the people must go out of their tents every day and gather just enough to eat on that day. [When I do that], I will find out whether they will obey my instructions or not.
5 A hiki i ka la aono, e hoomakaukau lakou i ka mea a lakou e lawe mai ai iloko; e papalua ia i ka mea a lakou e hoouluulu ai i kela la i keia la.
On the sixth day [after I start doing that], they will be able to gather twice as much as on the other days, [and not have to gather any on the seventh day]. Then they can prepare it [to eat it on the 6th and 7th days].”
6 Olelo mai la o Mose laua o Aarona i na mamo a pau a Iseraela, A ahiahi, alaila oukou e ike, na Iehova no oukou i lawe mai nei, mai ka aina mai o Aigupita:
So Aaron and Moses/I said to all the Israeli people, “This evening you will know that it was Yahweh, [not we], who brought you out of Egypt.
7 A kakahiaka, alaila oukou e ike ai i ka nani o Iehova; no kona hoolohe ana i ka mea a oukou i ohumu aku ai ia Iehova: heaha hoi maua, i ohumu mai ai oukou ia maua?
And tomorrow morning you will see how great Yahweh is, because he has heard what you have complained about. He is the one whom you have really complained to, because we are just his servants.” [RHQ]
8 I mai la o Mose, E haawi mai ana o Iehova i ke ahiahi, i ia na oukou e ai ai, a kakahiaka i ai e maona ai; no ka mea, ua lohe mai o Iehova i ka ohumu ana a oukou i ohumu aku ai ia ia: Heaha hoi o maua? aole no maua ka oukou ohumu ana, aka, no Iehova.
Then Moses/I also said, “[From now on, each] evening Yahweh will give you meat to eat, and [each] morning he will give you [something that will take the place of] bread, because he has heard what you have complained about. Yahweh is the one to whom you have really complained, not us. We are just his servants.” [RHQ]
9 Olelo ae la o Mose ia Aarona, E i aku oe i ka poe mamo a pau a Iseraela, E hele mai lakou imua i ke alo o Iehova: no ka mea, ua lohe ia i ka oukou ohumu ana.
Then Moses/I said to Aaron, “Tell all the Israeli people, ‘Come and stand here in the presence of Yahweh, because he has heard what you have been complaining about.’”
10 A i ka Aarona olelo ana i ka poe mamo a pau a Iseraela, alawa ae la lakou ma ka waonahele, aia hoi, ikea aku la ka nani o Iehova ma ke ao.
So Aaron told them that. And as Aaron was talking to all the Israeli people, they looked toward the desert, and were surprised to see the (dazzling light/incredible brightness) of Yahweh in the cloud [that had been leading them].
11 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
12 Ua lohe au i na ohumu ana a na mamo a Iseraela: E olelo aku oe ia lakou, e i aku, A ahiahi, e ai ana oukou i ka ia, a kakahiaka ae, e maona oukou i ka ai: a e ike auanei oukou, owau no Iehova, ko oukou Akua.
“I have heard what the Israeli people have been complaining about. So say to them, ‘From now on, each evening, you will have meat to eat. And each morning you will have something that will take the place of bread. You will have all you want of it to eat.’ Then you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
13 A i ke ahiahi, hiki mai la na selu, a uhi mai la ma kahi a lakou i hoomoana'i: a kakahiaka ae, ahu iho la ka hau, a puni na kahua.
That evening, (quails/small plump birds) appeared, and [there were so many that] they covered the campsite. The next morning there was [something like] dew all around the campsite.
14 A i ka lele ana o ka hau i ahuia mai ai, aia hoi, ma ka ili honua o ka waonahele, he mea liilii me he unahi la, me he hau paa la ka liilii.
When the dew evaporated, on the surface of the desert there was a thick layer of something that looked like white flakes. It looked like frost.
15 A ike aku la na mamo a Iseraela, olelo ae la kekahi o na kanaka i kona hoa, Heaha keia? no ka mea, aole lakou i ike ia mea. Olelo mai la o Mose ia lakou, Eia ka ai a Iehova i haawi mai ai, i mea na oukou o ai ai.
When the Israeli people saw it, since they [had never seen it before and] did not know what it was, they said to each other, “What is it?” Moses/I replied to them, “It is something Yahweh has given you to eat, to take the place of bread.
16 Eia hoi ka olelo a Iehova i kauoha mai ai, E hoiliili ke kanaka ia mea, e like me ka kona waha e ai ai, hookahi kanaka hookahi omera; e lawe oukou a pau e like me ka nui o ko oukou poe, o kela kanaka keia kanaka no ka poe o kona halelewa.
This is what Yahweh has commanded: ‘Each of you should gather as much as you need to eat. Gather two quarts/liters for each person who lives in your tents.’”
17 Hana iho la na mamo a Iseraela pela, a he nui ka kekahi i hoiliili ai, a he uuku iho ka kekahi.
So that is what the Israeli people did. Some gathered more and some gathered less.
18 A i ko lakou ana ana ma ka omera, o ka mea hoiliili nui, aohe ana i koe, a o ka mea hoiliili uuku, aole hoi i emi kana: hoiliili kela kanaka keia kanaka e like me ka kona waha i ai ai.
But when they measured [what they had gathered], those that had gathered a lot did not have anything left over. And those that gathered less still had enough to eat. Each person gathered just what they needed.
19 I aku la o Mose ia lakou, Mai hookoe kekahi kanaka ia mea a kakahiaka.
Moses/I said to them, “Do not leave any of it to eat tomorrow morning!”
20 Aole nae lakou i hoolohe mai i ka Mose; hookoe no kekahi ia mea a kakahiaka, a piha iho la ia i na ilo, a pilau no hoi: a huhu aku la o Mose ia lakou.
But some of them did not pay any attention to what Moses/I said. They kept some of it until the next morning. But it was full of maggots and smelled rotten. And that made Moses/me angry.
21 Hoiliili lakou ia mea i kela kakahiaka i keia kakahiaka, o kanaka a pau e like me ka lakou ai ana; a i ka wa i mahana ae ai ka la, hehee iho la ia mea.
Each morning they gathered as much as they needed. But [later], when the sun got hot, [what was left on the ground] melted.
22 A hiki i ka la eono, hoiliili papalua iho la lakou i ka ai, elua omera a ke kanaka hookahi: a hele aku la na luna a pau o na kanaka, a hai aku la ia Mose.
On the sixth day after they started gathering it, each person was able to gather four quarts/liters, which was twice [as much as they gathered on the other days]. When the leaders of the people came to Moses/me and told him/me [about that],
23 I mai la ia ia lakou, Oia hoi ka mea a Iehova i olelo mai ai, i ka la apopo ka hoomaha ana o ka sabati laa no Iehova: ka mea a oukou e kalua ai, e kalua, a o ka mea a oukou e hoolapalapa ai, e hoolapalapa: a o ke koena a pau e hoana e oukou, i malamaia ia mea na oukou no ke kakahiaka.
Moses/I said to them, “This is what Yahweh has commanded: ‘Tomorrow will be a day for you to rest completely. It will be a day dedicated to Yahweh. So today, bake or boil what you will [need for today and for tomorrow]. Whatever is left [this evening], you should put aside and keep it [to eat] tomorrow.’”
24 Hoana e no lakou ia mea, a kakahiaka, e like me ka Mose i kauoha mai ai; aole hoi ia i pilau, aohe ilo hoi maloko o ia mea.
So they did what Moses/I commanded. What was left over, they kept until the next day. It did not spoil and did not get maggots in it!
25 I mai la o Mose, E ai oukou ia mea i keia la; no ka mea, eia ka sabati no Iehova, i keia la aole e loaa ia mea ma ke kula.
[On that day], Moses/I said, “Eat today [what you have saved from yesterday], because today is a day dedicated to Yahweh. Today you will not find any of that food outside.
26 Eono o oukou la e hoouluulu ai; a o ka hiku o ka la, o ka sabati ia, ia la, aole.
[Every week], you must gather it for six days; but on the seventh day, which will be a day of rest, you will not find any.”
27 A i ka hiku o ka la, hele aku la no kekahi o na kanaka e hoouluulu, aole nae i loaa ia lakou.
On the seventh day, some of the people went outside their tents to gather some of that food, but there was none.
28 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, Pehea la ka loihi o ko oukou hoole ana, aole e malama i ka'u mau kauoha, a me ko'u mau kanawai?
Then Yahweh [told Moses/me to say this to] the people: “How long will you people refuse to do all the things that I tell you?
29 E nana hoi, no ka mea, ua haawi aku o Iehova ia oukou i ka sabati: no ia mea, ua haawi aku la ia na oukou ma ke ono o ka la, i ai no na la elua; e noho oukou, o keia kanaka keia kanaka ma kona wahi iho; mai hele ke kanaka mai kona wahi aku i ka la sabati.
Listen! Yahweh has given you a day of rest. So on the sixth day [of each week], he will be giving you enough of this food for two days. Each of you should stay in his tent [and do no work] on the seventh day!”
30 A hoomaha iho la na kanaka ma ka hiku o ka la.
So the people rested on the seventh day.
31 Kapa aku ka ohana Iseraela i ka inoa o ia mea he Mane: ua like no ia me ka hua koriana, ua keokeo; a i ka ai ana ua like no ia me na wepa me ka meli.
The Israeli people called this food manna, [which sounds like the words in their language that mean ‘what is it]?’ It looked like small seeds [called] coriander, but it was white, and it tasted like thin wafers/biscuits made with honey.
32 I mai la o Mose, Eia ka mea a Iehova i kauoha mai nei, E hoopiha i kekahi omera o ia mea, i malama loa ia no kau poe mamo; i ike lakou i ka ai a'u i hanai aku ai ia oukou ma ka waonahele, i ka wa a'u i lawe mai ai ia oukou mai ka aina o Aigupita mai.
Moses/I said, “This is what Yahweh has commanded: ‘You must keep two quarts/liters of it for all future generations, so that they can see the [food that took the place of] bread that I gave to your [ancestors] when I brought them out of Egypt.’”
33 I ae la o Mose ia Aarona, E lawe oe i ipu, a e hahao iloko i kekahi omera a piha i ka mane, a e hoana e imua i ke alo o Iehova, i malama loa ia ia mea no kau poe mamo.
And he/I said to Aaron, “Take a jar, and put two quarts of manna in it. Then put it [in a place] where Yahweh can see it. It is to be kept like that for all future generations.”
34 E like me ka mea a Iehova i kauoha mai ai ia Mose, pela i hoana e ai o Aarona ia mea imua i ke alo o ke kanawai e malama loa ia'i.
[Many years later], as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me, Aaron put the jar in front of the box [that contained the stone slabs on which] the Ten Commandments [were written].
35 Ai iho la na mamo o Iseraela i ka mane hookahi kanaha makahiki, a hiki lakou i ka aina kanaka; ai no lakou i ka mane, a hiki lakou i ke kihi o ka aina i Kanaana.
The Israeli people were able to eat manna [every day] for 40 years, until they came to the border of Canaan land.
36 Hookahi omera, he hapanmi ia no ka epa.
(The standard measure [that they used at that time] held 20 quarts/liters.)
