Exodus 16

1 Na un mwet Israel nukewa mukuiyak liki acn Elim, ac ke len aksingoul limekosr in malem se akluo tukun elos illa liki Egypt, elos tuku nu ke yen mwesis Sin, su oan inmasrlon Elim ac Sinai.

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 Ingo yen mwesis elos nukewa torkaskas nu sel Moses ac Aaron

And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness:

3 ac fahk nu seltal, “LEUM GOD El funu unikuti na Egypt lukun wona. Kut lukun mutana mongo ikwa ac bread nwe ke na kut kihpi. A komtal uskutme nu in acn mwesis se inge ac oru kut in misa ke masrinsral.”

and the children of Israel said unto them, Would that we had died by the hand of Jehovah 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 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, “Inge nga ac oru mwe mongo in kahkma inkusrao me nu suwos nukewa. Len nukewa mwet uh ac fah tufoki ac sifani ma fal nu ke len se. In ouiya se inge nga fah srikalos in liye lah elos ac oru oana ma nga sapkin.

Then said Jehovah unto Moses, Behold, I will 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 Ke len se akonkosr elos in use sunun len luo ac akmolyela.”

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 Ouinge Moses ac Aaron fahk nu sin mwet Israel nukewa, “Oyeku kowos fah etu lah LEUM GOD pa uskowosme liki Egypt.

And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At even, then ye shall know that Jehovah hath brought you out from the land of Egypt;

7 Lututang kowos ac liye kalem wolana su fahkak lah LEUM GOD El oasr yorosr. El lohng torkaskas lowos lainul — aok lainul ac tia lain kut, mweyen kut oru na ma El sapkin nu sesr uh.”

and in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of Jehovah; for that he heareth your murmurings against Jehovah: and what are we, that ye murmur against us?

8 Na Moses el fahk, “LEUM GOD pa ac sot ikwa nowos ke eku, ac lupan bread ma kowos enenu ke lotutang, tuh El lohng tari lupan torkaskas lowos lainul. Pacl kowos torkaskas lain kut uh, pwayeiya uh kowos torkaskas lain LEUM GOD.”

And Moses said, [This shall be], when Jehovah shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that Jehovah heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against Jehovah.

9 Moses el fahk nu sel Aaron, “Fahk nu sin sruf nukewa lun mwet Israel elos in tuku ac tu ye mutun LEUM GOD, tuh El lohng tari torkaskas lalos.”

And Moses said unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before Jehovah; for he hath heard your murmurings.

10 Ke Aaron el kaskas nu sin sruf nukewa, elos ngetla nu yen mwesis, ac in kitin pacl ah na kalem wolana lun LEUM GOD sarmelik in pukunyeng se.

And it came to pass, as Aaron spake unto the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of Jehovah appeared in the cloud.

11 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,

And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

12 “Nga lohng tari torkaskas lun mwet Israel. Fahk nu selos lah ke eku nukewa ac fah oasr ikwa nalos, ac ke lotutang nukewa elos ac fah eis lupan bread ma elos enenu. Na elos ac fah etu lah nga, LEUM GOD, pa God lalos.”

I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread: and ye shall know that I am Jehovah your God.

13 Ke ekela sie u lulap ke won quail sohkma lucng me, ac afunla acn nukewa ke nien aktuktuk uh, ac ke lotutang aunfong uh nwakla acn mwet uh muta we.

And it came to pass at even, that the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the camp.

14 Ac ke aunfong uh wanginla, oasr ma na minini ac fisrasrsrasr se oan infohk uh yen mwesis uh. Arulana fisrasr in mokutkuti.

And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness a small round thing, small as the hoar-frost on the ground.

15 Ke mwet Israel elos liyauk, elos tiana etu lah mea se, ac elos asiyuki sie sin sie, “Mea se inge?” Moses el fahk nu selos, “Pa inge mwe mongo ma LEUM GOD El sot kowos in mongo kac.

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 Jehovah hath given you to eat.

16 LEUM GOD El sapkin tuh kais sie suwos in sifani lupan na ma el enenu — quart luo nu sin kais sie mwet ke sou se.”

This is the thing which Jehovah 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 Mwet Israel elos oru ouinge — kutu sifani yohk, ac kutu srik.

And the children of Israel did so, and gathered some more, some less.

18 Ke elos srikeya, mwet ma sifani yohk uh tia alukela ma fal, ac mwet ma sifani srik tia pac srik liki ma fal. Kais sie selos sifani fal na nu ke lupan enenu lalos.

And when they measured 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 Moses el fahk nu selos, “Wangin sie mwet fah karingin kutu ma inge nu ke len se tok ah.”

And Moses said unto them, Let no man leave of it till the morning.

20 A kutu sin mwet uh tia lohngol Moses ac likiya kutu nu ke len tok ah. Ke lotutang tok ah, ma inge sessesla ke ulac ac pusrosrak, na Moses el kasrkusrak selos.

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

21 Lotutang nukewa kais sie mwet sifauk fal nu ke lupa el enenu; ac ke faht uh foli ma lula fin fohk uh kofelik.

And they gathered it morning by morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it melted.

22 Ke len se akonkosr elos sifani mwe mongo pacl luo yohk liki len saya uh — quart akosr nu sin kais sie mwet. Mwet kol ke sruf nukewa lun mwet Israel elos tuku ac srumun ma inge nu sel Moses,

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 na el fahk nu selos, “LEUM GOD El sapkin tuh lutu sie len in mongla mutal, sriyukla in akfulatyal. Omunla ma kowos lungse umin, ac poeleak ma kowos ke poeli. Kutena ma lula fah orekeni in oan nu lutu.”

And he said unto them, This is that which Jehovah hath spoken, To-morrow is a solemn rest, a holy sabbath unto Jehovah: bake that which ye will bake, and boil that which ye will boil; and all that remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.

24 Ouinge elos orani ma lula nu ke len tok ah, in oana ma Moses el sapkin, na tiana pusrosrak ku ulauk.

And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not become foul, neither was there any worm therein.

25 Moses el fahk, “Kang ma inge misenge mweyen misenge len Sabbath, sie len sriyukla nu sin LEUM GOD, ac kowos ac tia konauk kutena mwe mongo likin acn in aktuktuk uh.

And Moses said, Eat that to-day; for to-day is a sabbath unto Jehovah: to-day ye shall not find it in the field.

26 Kowos enenu in sifani mwe mongo ke len onkosr, tusruktu len se akitkosr len in mongla se, na ac fah wangin mongo sifeyukeni ke len sac.”

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

27 Ke len se akitkosr kutu sin mwet uh illa in suk mwe mongo, a wangin ma elos konauk.

And it came to pass on the seventh day, that there went out some of the people to gather, and they found none.

28 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, “Putaka pacl kowos mwet uh ac srangesr in akos ma nga sapkin uh?

And Jehovah said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?

29 Esam lah nga, LEUM GOD, sot sie len in mongla nu suwos, ac ke sripa se inge ke len akonkosr nukewa nga fah sot mwe mongo ma fal nu ke len luo. Mwet nukewa in mutana yen el muta we ke len se akitkosr ac tia som liki lohm sel.”

See, for that Jehovah 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 Ouinge mwet uh tia orekma ke len se akitkosr.

So the people rested on the seventh day.

31 Mwet Israel elos pangon mwe mongo sac manna. Mwe mongo sac oana fita fasrfasr na srisrik se, ac emah uh oana eman flao minini orekla ke honey.

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 Moses el fahk, “LEUM GOD El sapkin tuh kut in karinganang kutu manna inge tuh fwilin tulik natusr in ku in liye mwe mongo ma El sang kite kut yen mwesis ke El uskutme liki acn Egypt.”

And Moses said, This is the thing which Jehovah 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 Moses el fahk nu sel Aaron, “Eis sie sufa, ac sang luo quart in manna nu loac, na filiya ye mutun LEUM GOD in karinginyukyang nu sin fwil natusr tok uh.”

And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omerful of manna therein, and lay it up before Jehovah, to be kept throughout your generations.

34 Oana ma LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Moses, ouinge Aaron el filiya sufa sac mutun Tuptup in Wuleang, tuh in ku in karinginyukyang.

As Jehovah commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.

35 Mwet Israel elos mongo manna ke yac angngaul, nwe ke elos sun sisken facl Canaan, acn elos oakwuki we. (

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 Mwe srikasrak flao in pacl meet pangpang “omer,” na omer se oana quart luo.)

Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
