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.

Then moved they on from Elim, and all the assembly of the sons of Israel entered into the desert of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month, by their coming forth out of the land of Egypt.

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

Then did all the assembly of the sons of Israel murmur against Moses and against Aaron in the desert;

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 sons of Israel said unto them—Oh that we had died by the hand of Yahweh, in the land of Egypt, when we remained by the pot of flesh, when we did eat bread to the full, —for ye have brought us forth into this desert, to cause all this multitude to die by 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.

Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Behold me! raining down for you bread out of heaven, —and the people shall go out and gather the portion for a day, on its 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 settle what they shall bring in, —and it shall be twice as much as they gather day by 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.

So Moses and Aaron said unto all the sons of Israel, —At eventide, then shall ye know that it was, Yahweh, who 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, then shall ye see the glory of Yahweh, in that he hath heard your murmurings against Yahweh, —what then are, we, that ye should 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—In that Yahweh giveth you in the evening flesh to eat, and bread in the morning, to the full, in that Yahweh heareth your murmurings wherewith ye are murmuring against him, what then are, we? Not against us, do ye murmur but against Yahweh.

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 assembly of the sons of Israel, Draw near, before Yahweh, —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, when Aaron spake unto all the assembly of the sons of Israel, then turned they towards the desert, —and lo! the glory of Yahweh, had appeared in the cloud,

11 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị ya,

Then spake Yahweh 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 sons of Israel, —speak unto them, saying—Between the two evenings, shall ye eat flesh, and in the morning, shall ye be filled with bread, —so shall ye know that I Yahweh am 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, in the evening, that there came up quail, and covered the camp, —and in the morning was the outpouring 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 outpouring of dew went up, then lo! on the face of the desert, a thin flake, thin as hoar-frost on 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 sons of Israel saw it they said one to another—What is that? For they knew not what "that" was. Then said Moses unto them, "That" is the bread which Yahweh 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 Yahweh hath commanded, Gather ye thereof, each man what he needeth for eating, —an omer a head, by the number of your souls, each man—for them who are in his tent, shall ye take.

17 Ụmụ Izrel mere dịka a gwara ha, ụfọdụ chịkọtara nke hiri nne, ụfọdụ nke dị nta.

And the sons of Israel did so, —and gathered, [some] more, 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 when they measured it with the omer, he who had gathered more had nothing over, and he who had gathered less had no lack: each man what he needed for eating, did they gather.

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 thereof, until 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 hearkened not unto Moses, but certain men left thereof until morning, and it swarmed with worms and become loathsome, —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.

Thus then they gathered it morning by morning, each man what he needed for eating, and as soon as the sun waxed hot, so soon 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, that they gathered food twice as much, two omers for each one, —so all the princes of the assembly came in, 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—That is what Yahweh spake. The observance of a holy sabbath to Yahweh, is to-morrow, —what ye would bake, bake and what ye would boil, boil, and all that is left over, put by you to keep 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.

So they put it by until the morning, as Moses had commanded, —and it gave no unpleasant odour, neither was there a 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.

Then said Moses—Eat ye it to-day, for a sabbath, is to-day, unto Yahweh, —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, shall ye gather it, —but on the seventh day, a sabbath, it shall not be therein.

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 forth some of the people to gather, —but they found not.

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?

Then said Yahweh unto Moses, —How long have ye refused 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 because Yahweh hath given you the sabbath, for this cause, is, he, giving you on the sixth day, food for two days, —abide ye every man in his place, let no man go forth from his dwelling, 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 the same, was like coriander seed white, and the taste thereof, like flat-cake 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 Yahweh hath commanded, Fill an omer therefrom as a thing to be preserved to your generations, —that they may see the bread wherewith I fed you in the desert, when I brought 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.”

So Moses said unto Aaron—Take a single basket, and put therein an omer-full of manna, —and set it down before Yahweh, as a thing to be preserved to your generations.

34 Emesịa, Erọn dọnyere mánà a nʼihu Ihe Ama e debere nʼime ụlọ ikwu, dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere Mosis nʼiwu.

As Yahweh gave command unto Moses, so did Aaron set it down before the testimony, as a thing to be preserved,

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 sons of Israel did eat the manna forty years, until they entered into the land wherein they were to dwell, —the manna, they did eat until they entered into the bounds 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 of the ephah.
