ʻEkisotosi 16

1 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.

And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came to the wilderness of Sin, which [is] between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departure from the land of Egypt.

2 Pea naʻe lāunga ʻi he toafa ʻae fakataha kotoa pē ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli kia Mōsese mo ʻElone.

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

3 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.”

And the children of Israel said to them, O that we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh-pots, [and] 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 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.

Then said the LORD to Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or not.

5 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.”

And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare [that] which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.

6 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:

And Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, At evening, then ye shall know that the LORD hath brought you out from the land of Egypt:

7 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?”

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

8 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.”

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 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.”

And Moses spoke to Aaron, Say to all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before the LORD: for he hath heard your murmurings.

10 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.

And it came to pass, as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked towards the wilderness, and behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud.

11 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,

And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

12 “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.”

I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel; Speak to them, saying, At evening 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 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.

And it came to pass, that at evening the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay around the host.

14 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.

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

15 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.

And when the children of Israel saw [it], they said one to another, It [is] manna: for they knew not what it [was]. And Moses said to them, This [is] the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat.

16 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.”

This [is] the thing which the LORD hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating: an omer for every man [according to] the number of your persons, take ye every man for [them] who [are] in his tents.

17 Pea naʻe fai pehē ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo tānaki ia, naʻe lahi ʻae niʻihi, pea siʻi ʻae niʻihi.

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

18 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.

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 Pea pehē ʻe Mōsese, “ʻOua naʻa tuku ʻe ha tangata hano toe ki he ʻapongipongi.”

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

20 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.

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

21 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.

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

22 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.

And it came to pass, [that] on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one [man]: and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.

23 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.”

And he said to them, This [is that] which the LORD hath said, To-morrow [is] the rest of the holy sabbath to the LORD: bake [that] which ye will bake [to-day], and boil that ye will boil; and that which remaineth over, lay up for you to be kept until the morning.

24 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.

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

25 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.

And Moses said, Eat that to-day; for to-day [is] a sabbath to the LORD; to-day ye will not find it in the field.

26 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.”

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

27 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.

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

28 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “ʻE tuku ʻafē hoʻomou taʻefietauhi ʻeku ngaahi fekau mo ʻeku ngaahi fono?

And the LORD said to Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?

29 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.”

See, for 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 Ko ia naʻe mālōlō ai ʻae kakai ʻi hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho.

So the people rested on the seventh day.

31 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.

And the house of Israel called its name Manna: and it [was] like coriander-seed, white; and the taste of it [was] like wafers [made] with honey.

32 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.”

And Moses said, This [is] the thing which the LORD commanded, Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they may see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.

33 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.”

And Moses said to Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna therein, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept for your generations.

34 Pea naʻe hili ia ʻe ʻElone ʻi he ʻao ʻoe Fuakava ke tauhi ia ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese.

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

35 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.

And the children of Israel ate manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited: they ate manna, until they came to the borders of the land of Canaan.

36 Pea ko e oma, ko hono vahe hongofulu ia ʻoe efa.

Now an omer [is] the tenth [part] of an ephah.
