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 took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came unto 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.

2 Nʼọzara ahụ, nzukọ ahụ niile tamuru ntamu megide Mosis na Erọn.

And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against 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 unto them: 'Would that we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh-pots, when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.'

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.

Then said the LORD unto Moses: 'Behold, I will cause to rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a day's portion 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.”

And 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.'

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 unto all the children of Israel: 'At even, then ye shall know that the LORD hath brought you out from 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, then ye shall see the glory of the LORD; for that He hath heard your murmurings against the LORD; and what are we, that ye murmur 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: '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 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.’”

And Moses said unto Aaron: 'Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel: Come near before the LORD; for He hath heard your murmurings.'

10 Mgbe Erọn nọ na-agwa nzukọ Izrel okwu, ha lepụrụ anya nʼọzara hụ ebube Onyenwe anyị ka ọ pụtara ihe nʼigwe ojii.

And it came to pass, as Aaron spoke unto 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 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị ya,

And the LORD spoke unto 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 murmurings of the children of Israel. Speak unto them, saying: At dusk 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 Nʼoge uhuruchi ụbọchị ahụ, nnụnụ kweel bịara kpuchie ọmụma ụlọ ikwu ahụ. Nʼisi ụtụtụ echi ya, igirigi dakwara gburugburu ọmụma ụlọ ikwu ahụ.

And it came to pass at even, that the quails came up, and covered the camp; and in the morning there was a layer of dew round about the camp.

14 Mgbe ala kọrọ mmiri igirigi ahụ, ihe dịka achịcha mbadamba nta jupụtara nʼala ọzara ahụ niile.

And when the layer of dew was gone up, behold upon the face of the wilderness a fine, scale-like thing, fine as 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: 'What is it?' — for they knew not what it was. And Moses said unto them: 'It 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 thing which the LORD hath commanded: Gather ye of it every man according to his eating; an omer a head, according to the number of your persons, shall ye take it, every man for them that are in his tent.'

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 gathered some more, some 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 when they did mete 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 Mosis gwara ha sị, “Ka onye ọbụla hụ na o nweghị nke ga-afọdụ ruo ụtụtụ echi ya.”

And Moses said unto them: 'Let no man leave of it 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.

Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and rotted; and Moses was wroth 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.

And they gathered it morning by morning, every man according to his eating; and as the sun waxed 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.

And it came to pass that 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.

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 unto them: 'This is that which the LORD hath spoken: To-morrow is a solemn rest, a holy sabbath unto the LORD. Bake that which ye will bake, and seethe that which ye will seethe; and all that remaineth over lay up for you to be kept 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 laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade; and it did not rot, neither was there any worm therein.

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 that to-day; for to-day is a sabbath unto the LORD; to-day ye shall not find it 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.”

Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.'

27 Ụfọdụ lefuru ọkwa ahụ Mosis maara ha anya. Ha pụrụ nʼụbọchị izuike ahụ ịchọ nri, ma o nweghị nke ha nwetara.

And it came to pass on the seventh day, that there went out some of the people to gather, and they 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 unto Moses: 'How long refuse ye to keep My commandments and My laws?

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; 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 Nʼihi nke a, ndị Izrel niile zuru ike nʼụbọchị nke asaa.

So the people rested 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 of it was like wafers made 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 thing which the LORD hath commanded: Let an omerful of it be kept throughout your generations; that they may see the bread wherewith I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from 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 unto Aaron: 'Take a jar, and put an omerful of manna therein, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept throughout 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, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, 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 did eat the manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited; they did eat the manna, until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan.

36 (Ihe ọtụtụ ọmaa bụ otu ọtụtụ nʼime ọtụtụ iri nke ga-eju ihe ọtụtụ efaf.)

Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
