Ọpụpụ 16
1 Ọgbakọ ụmụ Izrel niile hapụrụ obodo Elim, jere ije bịarute nʼọzara Sin nke dị nʼetiti Saịnaị na Elim. Ha bịaruru nʼebe ahụ nʼabalị iri na ise nke ọnwa abụọ, site na mgbe ha hapụrụ Ijipt.
And they set forward from Elim, and all the multitude of the children of Israel came into the desert of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai: the fifteenth day of the second month, after they came out of the land of Egypt.
2 Nʼọzara ahụ, nzukọ ahụ niile tamuru ntamu megide Mosis na Erọn.
And all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness.
3 Ụmụ Izrel gwara ha sị, “Ọ gaara adị anyị mma ma a sị na Onyenwe anyị gburu anyị nʼala Ijipt. Nʼebe ahụ ite anụ dị iche iche na-adọ nʼihu anyị, anyị na-erikwa ụdị nri ọbụla anyị chọrọ. Ugbu a, i dubatala anyị nʼọzara ka anyị niile nwụọ nʼagụụ.”
And the children of Israel said to them: Would to God we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat over the flesh pots, and ate bread to the full. Why have you brought us into this desert, that you might destroy all the multitude with famine?
4 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị, “Lee anya, aga m esi nʼeluigwe zitere unu achịcha. Onye ọbụla ga-aga tụtụkọtara onwe ya ihe oriri ụbọchị ọbụla dịka ọ chọrọ. Aga m eji nke a lee ha ule ịmata ma ha ga-eme ihe m nyere ha nʼiwu.
And the Lord said to Moses: Behold I will rain bread from heaven for you: let the people go forth, and gather what is sufficient for every day: that I may prove them whether they will walk in my law, or not.
5 Gwa ha na nʼụbọchị nke isii, ha ga-ewere nri ha ga-ericha nʼụbọchị ahụ, ma nri ha ga-eri nʼụbọchị nke asaa, ka ha ga-achịkọta nʼụbọchị nke isii.”
But the sixth day let them provide for to bring in: and let it be double to that they were wont to gather every day.
6 Mosis na Erọn kpọkọtara ụmụ Izrel sị ha, “Nʼanyasị a ka unu ga-amata na ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị dupụtara unu site nʼala Ijipt.
And Moses and Aaron said to the children of Israel: In the evening you shall know that the Lord hath brought you forth out of the land of Egypt:
7 Unu ga-ahụkwa ebube Onyenwe anyị nʼụtụtụ echi, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị anụla ntamu unu megide ya. Onye ka anyị bụ unu ga-eji na-atamu ntamu megide anyị?”
And in the morning you shall see the glory of the Lord: for he hath heard your murmuring against the Lord: but as for us, what are we, that you mutter against us?
8 Mosis kwukwara sị, “Mgbe Onyenwe anyị nyere unu anụ unu ga-eri nʼanyasị a, nyekwa unu achịcha ga-eju unu nʼụtụtụ, unu ga-amata na ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị, nʼihi ọ nụla ntamu unu megide ya. Onye ka anyị bụ? Ọ bụghị anyị ka unu na-atamu megide kama ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị ka unu na-atamu megide.”
And Moses said: In the evening the Lord will give you flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full: for he hath heard your murmurings, with which you have murmured against him, for what are we? your murmuring is not against us, but against the Lord.
9 Mgbe ahụ, Mosis gwara Erọn okwu sị ya, “Gwa nzukọ Izrel niile okwu sị ha, ‘Pụtanụ bịa nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, nʼihi na ọ nụla ntamu unu.’”
Moses also said to Aaron: Say to the whole congregation of the children of Israel: Come before the Lord: for he hath heard your murmuring.
10 Mgbe Erọn nọ na-agwa nzukọ Izrel okwu, ha lepụrụ anya nʼọzara hụ ebube Onyenwe anyị ka ọ pụtara ihe nʼigwe ojii.
And when Aaron spoke to all the assembly of the children of Israel, they looked towards the wilderness: and behold the glory of the Lord appeared in a cloud.
11 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị ya,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
12 “Anụla m ntamu nke ụmụ Izrel na-atamu. Gwa ha sị, ‘Nʼanyasị taa, unu ga-ata anụ, nʼụtụtụ echi unu ga-eri achịcha. Mgbe ahụ, unu ga-amata na abụ m Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu.’”
I have heard the murmuring of the children of Israel: say to them: In the evening you shall eat flesh, and in the morning you shall have your fill of bread: and you shall know that I am the Lord your God.
13 Nʼoge uhuruchi ụbọchị ahụ, nnụnụ kweel bịara kpuchie ọmụma ụlọ ikwu ahụ. Nʼisi ụtụtụ echi ya, igirigi dakwara gburugburu ọmụma ụlọ ikwu ahụ.
So it came to pass in the evening, that quails coming up, covered the camp: and in the morning, a dew lay round about the camp.
14 Mgbe ala kọrọ mmiri igirigi ahụ, ihe dịka achịcha mbadamba nta jupụtara nʼala ọzara ahụ niile.
And when it had covered the face of the earth, it appeared in the wilderness small, and as it were beaten with a pestle, like unto the hoar frost on the ground.
15 Mgbe ụmụ Izrel hụrụ ya, ha jụrịtara onwe ha ajụjụ sị, “Gịnị bụ nke a?” Mosis zaghachiri ha sị, “Ọ bụ achịcha Onyenwe anyị nyere unu ka unu rie.
And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another: Manhu! which signifieth: What is this! 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 Ihe ndị a bụ iwu Onyenwe anyị nyere, ‘Ka onye ọbụla chịkọta naanị nke ọ ga-ericha. Ihe ọtụtụ ọmaa maka otu onye dịka ọnụọgụgụ ha si dị nʼezinaụlọ.’”
This is the word, that the Lord hath commanded: Let every one gather of it as much as is enough to eat: a gomor for every man, according to the number of your souls that dwell in a tent, so shall you take of it.
17 Ụmụ Izrel mere dịka a gwara ha, ụfọdụ chịkọtara nke hiri nne, ụfọdụ nke dị nta.
And the children of Israel did so: and they gathered, one more, another less.
18 Mgbe ha ji ihe ọtụtụ ọmaa tụọ ya, ha chọpụtara na onye chịkọtara hie nne enweghị karịa nke zuru ya, onye chịkọtakwara nke nta, ọ dịghị ihe fọdụrụ ya inweta. Onye ọbụla chịkọtara dị ka ihe ga-ezuru ya si dị.
And they measured by the measure of a gomor: neither had he more that had gathered more: nor did he find less that had provided less: but every one had gathered, according to what they were able to eat.
19 Mosis gwara ha sị, “Ka onye ọbụla hụ na o nweghị nke ga-afọdụ ruo ụtụtụ echi ya.”
And Moses said to them: Let no man leave thereof till the morning.
20 Ma ụfọdụ nʼime ha egeghị Mosis ntị. Ha rifọrọ nri ahụ debe ya. Ma mgbe chi echi ya bọrọ, ha chọpụtara na ha ereela ure jupụta nʼikpuru, ma na-esikwa isi dị njọ. Mosis were iwe dị ukwuu megide ụmụ Izrel nʼihi ya.
And they hearkened not to him, but some of them left until the morning, and it began to be full of worms, an it putrified, and Moses was angry with them.
21 Site nʼụbọchị ahụ, gaa nʼihu, ezinaụlọ ọbụla na-ewebata nri nʼụtụtụ ọbụla, dịka mkpa ha siri dị. Mgbe anwụ wara, nri ahụ niile fọdụrụ na-agbaze.
Now every one of them gathered in the morning, as much as might suffice to eat: and after the sun grew hot, it melted.
22 Nʼụbọchị nke isii, ha na-ewere nri okpukpu abụọ karịa ka ha na-ewe nʼụbọchị ndị ọzọ. Mgbe ndịisi nzukọ Izrel hụrụ mgbanwe dị otu a, ha bịara kọọrọ Mosis.
But on the sixth day they gathered twice as much, that is, two gomors every man: and all the rulers of the multitude came, and told Moses.
23 Mosis zara sị ha, “Nke a bụ iwu Onyenwe anyị nyere: ‘Ụbọchị echi bụ ụbọchị izuike, ụbọchị nke asaa dị nsọ nye Onyenwe anyị. Ya mere, sienụ ihe niile unu nwere isi taa, nʼihi na unu agaghị esi ihe ọbụla echi. Nri ọbụla unu rifọrọ, hapụnụ ya ka ọ bụrụ nri unu ga-eri echi.’”
And he said to them: This is what the Lord hath spoken: Tomorrow is the rest of the sabbath sanctified to the Lord. Whatsoever work is to be done, do it: and the meats that are to be dressed, dress them: and whatsoever shall remain, lay it up until the morning.
24 Ha mere dịka Mosis gwara ha. Mgbe chi echi bọrọ, ha chọpụtara na nri ha dị mma dịkwa ụtọ, ikpuru adịghịkwa nʼime ya.
And they did so as Moses had commanded, and it did not putrify, neither was there worm found in it.
25 Mosis gwara ha sị, “Nke a ga-abụ ihe oriri unu taa, nʼihi na ọ bụ ụbọchị izuike nye Onyenwe anyị. Ọ dịghị nri unu ga-ahụ nke unu ga-achịkọta taa.
And Moses said: Eat it today, because it is the sabbath of the Lord: today it shall not be found in the field.
26 Abalị isii ka unu ga-achịkọta nri unu ga-eri. Ma nʼabalị nke asaa bụ ụbọchị izuike, unu agaghị ahụ nri unu ga-achịkọta.”
Gather it six days: but on the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord, therefore it shall not be found.
27 Ụfọdụ lefuru ọkwa ahụ Mosis maara ha anya. Ha pụrụ nʼụbọchị izuike ahụ ịchọ nri, ma o nweghị nke ha nwetara.
And the seventh day came: and some of the people going forth to gather, found none.
28 Nʼihi nke a, Onyenwe anyị jụrụ Mosis ajụjụ sị ya, “Ruo ole mgbe ka unu ga-anọgide na-enupu isi nʼiwu m na ịdọ aka na ntị m?
And the Lord said to Moses: How long will you refuse to keep my commandments, and my law?
29 Lee, Onyenwe anyị enyela unu ụbọchị izuike. Ya mere, nʼụbọchị nke isii ọ na-enye unu nri ga-ezuru unu abalị abụọ. Onye ọbụla nʼime unu kwesiri ịnọgide nʼụlọ unu. Unu ekwesighị ịpụ apụ.”
See that the Lord hath given you the sabbath, and for this reason on the sixth day he giveth you a double provision: let each man stay at home, and let none go forth out of his place the seventh day.
30 Nʼihi nke a, ndị Izrel niile zuru ike nʼụbọchị nke asaa.
And the people kept the sabbath on the seventh day.
31 Ndị Izrel kpọkwara aha nri ahụ ha na-achịkọta mánà. Ọ dị ọcha dịka mkpụrụ kọrianda. Ọ na-atọkwa ụtọ dịka achịcha e ji mmanụ aṅụ mee.
And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it was like coriander seed white, and the taste thereof like to flour with honey.
32 Emesịa, Mosis gara nʼihu gwa ha okwu sị, “Onyenwe anyị enyela iwu sị, ‘Na unu ga-eji ihe ọtụtụ ọmaa tụpụta mánà nke unu ga-edebe. Ọ ga-abụ ihe ncheta ga-adịrị ọgbọ ndị Izrel niile na-abịa nʼihu. Nʼụzọ dị otu a, ụmụ unu ga-ahụ ụdị achịcha m jiri zụọ unu nʼime ọzara mgbe m gbapụtara unu site nʼala ndị Ijipt.’”
And Moses said: This is the word, which the Lord hath commanded: Fill a gomor of it, and let it be kept unto generations to come hereafter, that they may know the bread, wherewith I fed you in the wilderness, when you were brought forth out of the land of Egypt.
33 Nʼihi nke a, Mosis nyere Erọn iwu sị ya, “Tụrụ ọtụtụ ọmaa mánà tinye ya nʼime ite nta. Bute ya debe ya nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, ka ọ bụrụ ihe ga-adịgide nye ọgbọ dị nʼihu.”
And Moses said to Aaron: Take a vessel, and put manna into it, as much as a gomor can hold: and lay it up before the Lord to keep unto your generations,
34 Emesịa, Erọn dọnyere mánà a nʼihu Ihe Ama e debere nʼime ụlọ ikwu, dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere Mosis nʼiwu.
As the Lord commanded Moses. And Aaron put it in the tabernacle to be kept.
35 Ndị Izrel niile riri mánà ndị a iri afọ anọ tutu ruo mgbe ha batara nʼala ebe ndị mmadụ bi, tutu ruo mgbe ha bịarutere nʼoke ala Kenan.
And the children of Israel ate manna forty years, till they came to a habitable land: with this meat were they fed, until they reached the borders of the land of Chanaan.
36 (Ihe ọtụtụ ọmaa bụ otu ọtụtụ nʼime ọtụtụ iri nke ga-eju ihe ọtụtụ efaf.)
Now a gomor is the tenth part of an ephi.
