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 departed from Aelim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came to the wilderness of Sin, which is between Aelim and Sina; and on the fifteenth day, in the second month after their departure from the land of Egypt,

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

all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron.

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 we had died struck by the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh-pots, and ate bread to satiety! for you have brought us out into this wilderness, to kill all this congregation 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.

And the Lord said to Moses, Behold, I [will] rain bread upon you out of heaven: and the people shall go forth, and they shall gather their daily portion for the day, that I may try 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 whatever they have brought in, and it shall be double of what they shall have gathered for the day, 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 to all the congregation of the children of Israel, At even you shall know that the Lord has brought you 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, inasmuch as he hears your murmuring against God; and who are we, that you continue to 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 gives you in the evening flesh to eat, and bread in the morning to satiety, because the Lord has heard your murmuring, which you murmur against us: and what are we? for your murmuring is not against us, but against God.

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 to Aaron, Say to all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before God; for he has 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 congregation of the children of Israel, and they turned toward the wilderness, then 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: speak to them, saying, Towards evening you shall eat flesh, and in the morning you shall be satisfied with 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.

And it was evening, and quails came up and covered the camp:

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

in the morning it came to pass as the dew ceased round about the camp, that, behold, on the face of the wilderness [was] a small thing like white coriander seed, as frost upon the earth.

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 this? for they knew not what it was; and Moses said to them,

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 bread which the Lord has given you to eat. This is that which the Lord has appointed: gather of it each man for his family, a homer for each person, according to the number of your souls, gather each of you with his fellow-lodgers.

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 much and 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 having measured the homer [full], he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that had gathered less had no lack; each gathered according to the need of those who belonged to him.

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 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.

But they did not listen to Moses, but some left of it till the morning; and it bred worms and stank: and Moses was irritated 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 every morning, each man what he needed, and when 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 on the sixth day, they gathered double what was needed, two homers for one [man]; and all the chiefs of the synagogue went in and reported it to 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 Moses said to them, Is not this the word which the Lord spoke? To-morrow [is] the sabbath, a holy rest to the Lord: bake that you will bake, and seethe that you will seethe, and all that is over leave to be laid by for the morrow.

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 left of it till the morning, as Moses commanded them; and it stank not, neither was there a worm 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 [that] today, for today is a sabbath to the Lord: [it] shall not be found in the plain.

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 you shall gather it, and on the seventh day is a sabbath, for there shall be none on that [day].

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] some of the people went forth to gather, and 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 are you unwilling to listen to my commands 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, for the Lord has given you this day [as] the sabbath, therefore he has given you on the sixth day the bread of two days: you shall sit each of you in your houses; let no one go forth from his place on the seventh day.

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

And the people kept 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 children of Israel called the name of it Man; and it was as white coriander seed, and the taste of it as a wafer 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 has commanded, Fill an homer with manna, to be laid up for your generations; that they may see the bread which you ate in the wilderness, when the Lord led you 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 golden pot, and cast into it one full homer of manna; and you shall lay it up before God, to be kept for 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 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 ate manna forty years, until they came to the land they ate the manna, until they came to the region of Phoenicia.

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

Now the homer was the tenth part of three measures.
