1 Watu wakaendelea na safari kutoka Elimu, na jamii yote ya Waisraeli ikaja nyikani mwa Sinu, iliyopo katikati ya Elimu na Sinai, siku ya kumi na tano ya mwezi wa pili walipo toka Misri.
Pea naʻe hiki honau fononga mei ʻElimi, pea haʻu ʻae fakataha kotoa pē ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ki he toafa ko Sini, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo ʻElimi mo Sainai, ʻi hono hongofulu ma nima ʻoe ʻaho, ʻi hono ua ʻoe māhina, hili ʻenau haʻu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite.
2 Jamii yote ya Waisraeli wali walalamikia Musa na Aruni nyikani.
Pea naʻe lāunga ʻi he toafa ʻae fakataha kotoa pē ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli kia Mōsese mo ʻElone.
3 Waisraeli waliwaambia, “Kama tu tungekufa kwa mkono wa Yahweh nchi ya Misri tulipo kuwa tumeketi kwenye vyombo vya nyama na tulikuwa tunakula mkate kwa tele. Maana umetuleta nyikani uuwe jamii zetu zote kwa njaa.”
Pea naʻe lea ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli kiate kinaua, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku mau fakaʻamu ki he ʻOtua, naʻa mau mate ʻi he nima ʻo Sihova ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻi heʻemau kei tauʻutu ofi ki he ngaahi kulo kakano, pea ne mau kai mā ʻo mākona; he kuo mo ʻomi ʻakimautolu ki he toafa ni, ke tāmateʻi ʻae fakataha ni kotoa pē ʻaki ʻae fiekaia.”
4 Kisha Yahweh akamwambia Musa, “Nitakunyeshea mvua ya mkate. Watu wataenda na kukusanya kiasi cha siku kila siku ili niwajaribu kama wataendelea kushika sheria yangu au hapana.
Pea naʻe folofola ai ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “Vakai, Te u fakaʻuha ʻae mā mei he langi maʻamoutolu: pea ʻe ʻalu atu ʻae kakai ʻo tānaki fakatuhotuha ki he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻae mā, koeʻuhi ke u ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻakinautolu, pe te nau felakaʻi ʻi heʻeku ngaahi fekau pe ʻikai.
5 Itakuja kuwa siku ya sita, kwamba watakusanya mara mbili zaidi ya wanavyo kusanyaga, na watapika wanacholeta.”
Pea ʻi hono ono ʻoe ʻaho ʻe fai pehē, te nau ngaohi ʻaia kuo na tuku, pea ʻe tuʻoua hono lahi hake ʻi he mā ʻoku nau ʻomi ʻi he ʻaho kehe.”
6 Kisha Musa na Aruni wakawaambia watu wote wa Israeli, “Jioni mtajua kuwa ni Yahweh aliye waleta kutoka nchi ya Misri.
Pea naʻe tala ʻe Mōsese mo ʻElone ki he fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli, “Te mou toki ʻilo ʻi he efiafi, kuo ʻomi ʻe Sihova ʻakimoutolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite:
7 Asubui utaona utukufu wa Yahweh, kwa maana anasikia mna mlalamikia. Sisi ni nani hadi mtulalamikie?”
Pea ʻi he ʻapongipongi, te mou mamata ki he nāunau ʻo Sihova he ʻoku ne ʻafioʻi hoʻomou ngaahi lāunga pea ko hai ʻakimaua, koeʻuhi ke mou hanu ai kiate kimaua?”
8 Musa pia akasema, “Utajua hili pale Yahweh atakapo kupa nyama jioni na mkate asubui kwa tele - kwa kuwa amesikia malalamishi mnayo tamka dhidi yake. Nani ni Aruni na mimi? Malalamishi yenu sio dhidi yetu; ni dhidi ya Yahweh.”
Pea pehē ʻe Mōsese, “ʻE tuku ʻe Sihova ʻae kakano kiate kimoutolu ʻi he efiafi, mo e mā ʻi he pongipongi ke mou mākona ai; he ʻoku ʻafioʻi ʻe Sihova hoʻomou lāunga ʻaia ʻoku mou lāunga ai kiate ia: pea ko hai ʻakimaua? ʻOku ʻikai kiate kimaua hoʻomou lāunga, ka kia Sihova.”
9 Musa akamwambia Aruni, “Sema kwa jamii yote ya watu wa Israeli, 'Njoo karibu ya Yahweh, kwa kuwa amesikia malalamishi yenu.'”
Pea naʻe lea ʻa Mōsese kia ʻElone, “Tala ki he fakataha kotoa pē ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, Mou haʻu ʻo ofi ki he ʻao ʻo Sihova he kuo ne ʻafioʻi hoʻomou lāunga.”
10 Ikawa, Aruni alipo sema na jamii yote ya watu wa Israeli, wakaangalia kuelekea nyikani, na, tazama, utukufu wa Yahweh ukatokea kwenye wingu.
Pea vakai lolotonga ʻae lea ʻa ʻElone ki he fakataha kotoa pē ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, naʻa nau sio atu ki he toafa, pea vakai, kuo ha mai ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova ʻi he ʻao.
11 Kisha Yahweh akasema na Musa na kumwambia,
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
12 “Nimesikia malalamishi ya watu wa Israeli. Sema nao na useme, 'Jioni utakula nyama, na asubui utashiba mkate. Kisha utajua mimi ni Yahweh Mungu wako.'”
“Kuo u ongoʻi ʻae lāunga ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: lea kiate kinautolu ʻo pehē, ʻi he efiafi te mou kai kakano, pea ʻi he pongipongi te mou mākona ʻi he mā: pea te mou ʻilo ko au ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.”
13 Ikaja kuwa kwamba jioni kware wakaja juu na kufunika kambi. Asubui umande ulitanda kambini.
Pea ʻi heʻene efiafi naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe haʻu ʻae fuifui kueili, pea naʻe ʻuʻufi ʻae ʻapitanga; pea ʻi he pongipongi naʻe ʻufiʻufi takatakai ʻae ʻapitanga ʻe he hahau.
14 Umande ulipo kwisha, pale juu ya ardhi ya nyikani kulikuwa na kama barafu iliyo ganda kwenye ardhi.
Pea ʻi he ʻalu hake ʻae hahau naʻe ʻūfia ai, vakai, naʻe ʻi ai ʻi he funga toafa ʻae meʻa siʻi potopoto, ʻo hangē ko e hahau fefeka ʻi he kelekele.
15 Watu wa Israeli walipo ona, walisema mmoja kwa mwenzake, “Hii ni nini?” Hawakujua ilikuwa ni nini. Musa akawaambia, “Ni mkate Yahweh aliyo wapa mle.
Pea ʻi he mamata ki ai ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, naʻa nau fepehēʻaki, “Ko e hā ia?” He naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo pe ko e hā. Pea pehē ʻe Mōsese kiate kinautolu, “Ko e mā eni kuo foaki mai ʻe Sihova ke mou kai.
16 Hii ni amri Yahweh aliyotoa: 'Lazima ukusanye, kila mmoja wenu, kiasi unacho itaji kula, lita mbili kwa kila mtu. Hivi ndivyo utakavyo kusanya: Kusanya cha kutosha kula cha kila mtu anaye ishi hemani mwako.'”
Ko eni ʻae meʻa kuo fekau ʻe Sihova, Tānaki ia ʻe he tangata kotoa pē ʻo fakatatau ki heʻene kai, ko e oma ʻe taha mā ʻae tangata taki taha, ʻo fakatatau ki he lau ʻo homou kakai; ke toʻo taki taha ʻae tangata maʻanautolu ʻoku ʻi hono ngaahi fale fehikitaki.”
17 Watu wa Israeli wakafanya hivyo. Baadhi wakakusanya zaidi, baadhi wakakusanya kidogo.
Pea naʻe fai pehē ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo tānaki ia, naʻe lahi ʻae niʻihi, pea siʻi ʻae niʻihi.
18 Walipo pima kwa kipimo cha lita, hao walio kusanya zaidi hawakuwa na kilicho salia, na hao walio kusanya kidogo hawakuwa na pungufu. Kila mmoja alikusanya cha kutosha kukidhi maitaji yake.
Pea kuo fakafuofua ʻaki ia ʻae oma, naʻe ʻikai hano toe, kiate ia naʻe tānaki ʻo lahi, pea ko ia naʻe tānaki siʻi naʻe ʻikai hano masiva; naʻa nau tānaki ʻae tangata taki taha ʻo fakatatau ki heʻene kai.
19 Kisha Musa akawaambia, “Hakuna ata mmoja kubakiza hadi asubui.”
Pea pehē ʻe Mōsese, “ʻOua naʻa tuku ʻe ha tangata hano toe ki he ʻapongipongi.”
20 Walakini, hawakumsikiliza Musa. Baadhi yao waliacha baadhi hadi asubui, lakini ilizalisha wadudu na kuwa batili. Kisha Musa akawa na hasira juu yao.
Ka naʻe ʻikai te nau tokanga kia Mōsese; ka ko honau niʻihi naʻe tuku hano toe ki he ʻapongipongi, pea naʻe ʻuangahia ia, pea namuaʻa; pea naʻe ʻita ʻa Mōsese kiate kinautolu.
21 Walikusanya asubui kwa asubui. Kila mtu alikusanya cha kutosha kula kwa hiyo siku. Jua lilipo kuwa kali, ili yayuka.
Pea naʻa nau tānaki ia ʻi he pongipongi kotoa pē, ʻae tangata taki taha ʻo tatau mo ʻene kai: pea ʻi he hoko ʻo vela ʻae laʻā, naʻe vai ʻo ʻosi ia.
22 siku ya sita walikusanya mkate mara mbili zaidi, lita mbili kwa kila mtu. Viongozi wote wa jamii walikuja na kumwambia hili kwa Musa.
Pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki hono ono ʻoe ʻaho, naʻa nau tānaki ʻo tuʻo ua hono lahi hake ʻoe mā, ko e oma ʻe ua ki he tangata pe taha: pea naʻe haʻu ʻae kau pule kotoa pē ʻoe kakai ʻo tala ia kia Mōsese.
23 Aliwaambia, “Hili ndilo Yahweh alililo lisema: 'Kesho ni mapumziko ya kujiliwaza, sabato takatifu kwa utukufu wa Yahweh. Oka kile unataka kuoka, na chemsha kile unataka kuchemsha. Vyote vitakavyo baki, jihifadhie hadi asubui.”'
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko eni ia kuo folofola ai ʻa Sihova, Ko e mālōlō ʻoe Sāpate māʻoniʻoni kia Sihova ʻapongipongi: taʻo he ʻaho ni, ʻaia te mou taʻo, pea haka ʻaia te mou haka: pea ko ia ʻoku toe, hilifaki ia ki he ʻapongipongi maʻamoutolu.”
24 Hivyo wakaeka pembeni hadi asubui, kama Musa alivyo elekeza. Haikuharibika, wala haikuwa na mdudu yeyote.
Pea naʻa nau hilifaki ki he ʻapongipongi, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Mōsese: pea naʻe ʻikai namuaʻa, pea naʻe ʻikai ha ʻuanga ʻi ai.
25 Musa alisema, “Kula hicho cha kula leo, kwa kuwa leo ni siku iliyo tengwa ya kumtukuza Yahweh. Leo hamtaikuta mashambani.
Pea pehē ʻe Mōsese, “Kai ia he ʻaho ni; he ko e ʻaho ni ko e Sāpate ia kia Sihova: ʻe ʻikai te mou ʻilo ia he ʻaho ni ʻi he ngoue.
26 Mtaikusanya ndani ya siku sita, lakini siku ya saba ni Sabato. Siku ya Sabato hakuta kuwa na manna.”
Ko e ʻaho ʻe ono te mou tānaki ia; ka ʻi hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho ʻaia ko e Sāpate, ʻe ʻikai siʻi ʻi ai ia.”
27 Ilikuja kuwa siku ya saba ambapo baadhi ya watu walienda kukusanya manna, lakini hawakukuta
Pea hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe ʻalu kituaʻā ʻae niʻihi ʻi he kakai ʻi hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho ke tānaki, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo ia.
28 Kisha Yahweh akamwambia Musa, Kwa muda gani utaendelea kukataa kushika amri zangu na sheria zangu?
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “ʻE tuku ʻafē hoʻomou taʻefietauhi ʻeku ngaahi fekau mo ʻeku ngaahi fono?
29 Tazama, Yahweh amekupa Sabato. Hivyo siku ya sita anakupa mkate wa siku mbili. Kila mmoja wenu lazima akae kwenye sehemu yake; hakuna hata mmoja wa kutoka sehemu yake siku ya saba.”
Vakai, ko e meʻa ʻi he foaki ʻe Sihova ʻae Sāpate kiate kimoutolu, ko ia ʻoku ne foaki ai kiate kimoutolu ʻi hono ono ʻoe ʻaho, ʻae mā ki he ʻaho ʻe ua: mou nofomaʻu taki taha ʻae tangata ʻi hono potu, ʻoua naʻa ʻalu ha tangata ʻe tokotaha mei hono potu ʻi hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho.”
30 Hivyo watu watapumzika siku ya saba.
Ko ia naʻe mālōlō ai ʻae kakai ʻi hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho.
31 Watu wa Israeli walikiita chakula kile “manna.” Ilikuwa ni nyeupe kama mbegu ya mgiligani, na ladha yake kama maandazi yaliyo pikwa na asali.
Pea naʻe ui hono hingoa ʻe he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, ko e Mana: pea naʻe hinehina ia ʻo hangē ko e tengaʻi kolianita; pea ko hono ifo naʻe hangē ha mā kuo ngaohi ʻaki ʻae honi.
32 Musa akasema, “Hili ndilo Yahweh alilo amuru: 'Acha lita mbili ya manna ihifadhiwe kwa ajili vizazi vya watu wako ili kwamba uzao wako uone mkate niliyo kulisha nyikani, baada ya kukutoa kutoka nchi ya Misri.
Pea pehē ʻe Mōsese, “Ko eni ʻae meʻa kuo fekau ʻe Sihova, Fakapito ʻaki ia ʻae oma ʻe taha ke fakatolonga ki homou toʻutangata ʻamui: koeʻuhi ke nau mamata ki he mā naʻaku fafanga ʻaki ʻakimoutolu ʻi he toafa, ʻi heʻeku ʻomi ʻakimoutolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite.”
33 Musa akamwambia Aruni, “Chukuwa jagi na uweke lita mbili za manna ndani yake. Hifadhi kwa Yahweh i dumu vizazi vyote vya watu.”
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese kia ʻElone, “Toʻo mai ha ipu, pea fakapito ʻae oma ʻe taha ʻi he mana ʻo lingi ia ki ai, pea hili ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ke tauhi maʻa homou ngaahi toʻutangata.”
34 Kama Yahweh alivyo muamuru Musa, Aruni akahifadhi pembeni mwa mawe yaliyo kuwa na amri za agano.
Pea naʻe hili ia ʻe ʻElone ʻi he ʻao ʻoe Fuakava ke tauhi ia ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese.
35 Watu wa Israeli walikula manna miaka arobaini mpaka walipo kuja nchi yenye watu. Walikula mpaka walipo fika kwenye mipaka ya nchi ya Kanani.
Pea naʻe kai mana ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu, ʻo aʻu ki heʻenau hoko ki he fonua naʻe kakai; naʻa nau kai mana ʻo aʻu ki heʻenau hoko ki he veʻe fonua ʻo Kēnani.
36 Lita mbili ni makumi ya efa.
Pea ko e oma, ko hono vahe hongofulu ia ʻoe efa.
