Êxodo 16

1 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 departing out of the land of Egypt. 2 The whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness; 3 and the children of Israel said to them, "We wish that we had died by Yahweh’s hand in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the meat pots, when we ate our fill of bread, for you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger."

4 Then Yahweh said to Moses, "Behold, I will rain bread from the sky for you, and the people shall go out and gather a day’s portion every day, that I may test them, whether they will walk in my law or not. 5 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 Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, "At evening, you shall know that Yahweh has brought you out from the land of Egypt. 7 In the morning, you shall see Yahweh’s glory; because he hears your murmurings against Yahweh. Who are we, that you murmur against us?" 8 Moses said, "Now Yahweh will give you meat to eat in the evening, and in the morning bread to satisfy you, because Yahweh hears your murmurings which you murmur against him. And who are we? Your murmurings are not against us, but against Yahweh." 9 Moses said to Aaron, "Tell all the congregation of the children of Israel, ‘Come close to Yahweh, for he has heard your murmurings.’" 10 As Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the children of Israel, they looked toward the wilderness, and behold, Yahweh’s glory appeared in the cloud. 11 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 12 "I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel. Speak to them, saying, ‘At evening you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread. Then you will know that I am Yahweh your God.’"

13 In the evening, quail came up and covered the camp; and in the morning the dew lay around the camp. 14 When the dew that lay had gone, behold, on the surface of the wilderness was a small round thing, small as the frost on the ground. 15 When the children of Israel saw it, they said to one another, "What is it?" For they didn’t know what it was. Moses said to them, "It is the bread which Yahweh has given you to eat. 16 This is the thing which Yahweh has commanded: ‘Gather of it everyone according to his eating; an omer*16:16 An omer is about 2.2 liters or about 2.3 quarts a head, according to the number of your persons, you shall take it, every man for those who are in his tent.’" 17 The children of Israel did so, and some gathered more, some less. 18 When they measured it with an omer, he who gathered much had nothing over, and he who gathered little had no lack. They each gathered according to his eating. 19 Moses said to them, "Let no one leave of it until the morning." 20 Notwithstanding they didn’t listen to Moses, but some of them left of it until the morning, so it bred worms and became foul; and Moses was angry with them. 21 They gathered it morning by morning, everyone according to his eating. When the sun grew hot, it melted. 22 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 He said to them, "This is that which Yahweh has spoken, ‘Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy Sabbath to Yahweh. Bake that which you want to bake, and boil that which you want to boil; and all that remains over lay up for yourselves to be kept until the morning.’" 24 They laid it up until the morning, as Moses ordered, and it didn’t become foul, and there were no worms in it. 25 Moses said, "Eat that today, for today is a Sabbath to Yahweh. Today you shall not find it in the field. 26 Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day is the Sabbath. In it there shall be none." 27 On the seventh day, some of the people went out to gather, and they found none. 28 Yahweh said to Moses, "How long do you refuse to keep my commandments and my laws? 29 Behold, because Yahweh has given you the Sabbath, therefore he gives you on the sixth day the bread of two days. Everyone stay in his place. Let no one go out of his place on the seventh day." 30 So the people rested on the seventh day.

31 The house of Israel called its name "Manna",*16:31 "Manna" means "What is it?" and it was like coriander seed, white; and its taste was like wafers with honey. 32 Moses said, "This is the thing which Yahweh has commanded, ‘Let an omer-full of it be kept throughout your generations, that they may see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.’" 33 Moses said to Aaron, "Take a pot, and put an omer-full of manna in it, and lay it up before Yahweh, to be kept throughout your generations." 34 As Yahweh commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept. 35 The children of Israel ate the manna forty years, until they came to an inhabited land. They ate the manna until they came to the borders of the land of Canaan. 36 Now an omer is one tenth of an ephah.*16:36 1 ephah is about 22 liters or about 2/3 of a bushel

Te Mana me te Koitareke

1 Nā, ka tūria e rātou i Erimi, ā, ka tae te huihuinga katoa o ngā tama a Īharaira ki te koraha o Hini, ki waenganui o Erimi o Hinai, i te tekau mā rima o ngā rā o te rua o ngā marama o tō rātou haerenga mai i te whenua o Īhipa. 2 Nā, ka amuamu te huihui katoa o ngā tama a Īharaira ki a Mohi rāua ko Ārona i te koraha. 3 Ā, ka mea ngā tama a Īharaira ki a rāua, "Ē, te mate atu rā mātou i te ringa o Ihowā i te whenua o Īhipa, i a mātou e noho ana i te taha o ngā kōhua kikokiko, e kai taro ana, ā mākona noa! Nā kōrua nei hoki mātou i kawe mai ki tēnei koraha kia kōhurutia ai tēnei whakaminenga katoa ki te matekai."

4 Nā, ka mea a Ihowā ki a Mohi, "Nanā, ka uaina iho e ahau he taro i te rangi mā koutou; ā, mā te iwi e haere, e kohikohi i tō tēnei rangi, i tō tēnei rangi, kia whakamātau ai ahau i a rātou, e haere rānei rātou i tāku ture, kāhore rānei. 5 Ā, te ono o ngā rā, ka takā e rātou tā rātou e mau mai ai; kia takiruatia tā rātou i kohikohi ai i ētahi rangi ake ka rite ki tō tēnei."

6 Nā, ka mea a Mohi rāua ko Ārona ki ngā tama katoa a Īharaira, "Ka ahiahi, nā, ka mōhio koutou nā Ihowā koutou i ārahi mai i te whenua o Īhipa; 7 ā, i te ata, nā, ka kite koutou i te korōria o Ihowā; e whakarongo mai ana hoki ia ki ā koutou amuamu ki a Ihowā. Tēnā ko māua, he aha māua, i amuamu ai koutou ki a māua?" 8 I mea anō a Mohi, "Ka mōhio koutou, ua hōmai e Ihowā ki a koutou he kikokiko hei kai i te ahiahi, ā, i te ata he taro, ā mākona noa, nō te mea kua rongo a Ihowā ki ā koutou amuamu e amuamu nā koutou ki a ia – ko māua ia, hei aha? Kīhai koutou i amuamu ki a māua, engari ki a Ihowā."

9 Nā, ka mea a Mohi ki a Ārona, "Mea atu ki te huihui katoa o ngā tama a Īharaira, ‘Whakatata mai ki te aroaro o Ihowā kua rongo hoki ia ki ā koutou amuamu.’ "

10 Ā, i a Ārona e kōrero ana ki te huihui katoa o ngā tama a Īharaira, nā, ka tahuri rātou whaka te koraha, nā, ko te korōria o Ihowā e puta mai ana i roto i te kapua.

11 Nā, ka kōrero a Ihowā ki a Mohi, ka mea, 12 "Kua rongo ahau ki ngā amuamu a ngā tama a Īharaira; kōrero atu ki a rātou, mea atu, ‘Kia ahiahi ka kai koutou i te kikokiko, ā, i te ata ka mākona i te taro; ā, ka mōhio koutou ko Ihowā ahau, ko tō koutou Atua.’ "

13 Ā, i te ahiahi, nā, ka puta mai te koitareke, ā, kapi ana te puni; ā, i te ata kua takoto te tōmairangi i te nohoanga, tawhio noa, tawhio noa. 14 Ā, ka mimiti ake te papanga tōmairangi, nā, he mea ririki, pōtakataka nei, kei te mata o te koraha, ririki, me te haupapa, i runga i te whenua. 15 Ā, i te kitenga o ngā tama a Īharaira, ka mea rātou tētahi ki tētahi, "He aha tēnā?" Kīhai hoki rātou i mōhio he aha rānei.

Nā, ka mea a Mohi ki a rātou, "Ko te taro rā tēnā ka hōmai nei e Ihowā ki a koutou hei kai. 16 Ko te mea tēnā i ākona mai rā e Ihowā, ‘Kohikohia mai i reira e tērā, e tērā, kia rite ki tāna e kai ai; he omere mā te tangata, kia rite ki tō koutou tokomaha; kohikohia e tērā, e tērā, mā te hunga i tōna tēneti.’ "

17 Ā, pērā ana ngā tama a Īharaira, nā, kohikohia ana, tā tētahi he nui, tā tētahi he iti. 18 Ā, ka mēhuatia e rātou ki te omere, kīhai i hira tā te tangata i te wāhi nui, kīhai hoki he hapa o tāna i te wāhi nohinohi. Rite tonu ki te kai a tērā, a tērā, tā rātou i kohikohi ai.

19 Nā, ka mea a Mohi ki a rātou, "Kaua e whakatoea tētahi wāhi o tēnā ki te ata."

20 Engari kīhai rātou i whakarongo ki a Mohi; ā, whakatoea ana e ētahi tētahi wāhi o taua mea mō te ata, ā, muia ana e te kutukutu, ā, piro ake; ā, riri ana a Mohi ki a rātou.

21 Ā, kohikohia ana taua mea e rātou i tēnei ata, i tēnei ata, rite tonu ki tā tēnei tangata, ki tā tēnei tangata, e kai ai; ā, ka mahana te rā, nā, kua rewa. 22 Ā, i te ono o ngā rā ka takiruatia te taro i kohikohia e rātou, e rua hoki ngā omere mā te tangata kotahi; ā, ka haere mai ngā rangatira katoa o te huihui, ka kōrero ki a Mohi. 23 Nā, ka mea ia ki a rātou, "Ko ia tēnei tā Ihowā i kōrero rā, ‘Ko āpōpō te okiokinga o te hāpati tapu o Ihowā; tunua tā koutou e tunu ai, kōhuatia hoki tā koutou e kōhua ai; ā, ko te toenga, waiho mā koutou, rongoātia mō te ata.’ "

24 Ā, rongoātia atu ana e rātou mō te ata, i pērā anō me tā Mohi i kī ai; kīhai hoki i piro, kāhore hoki i whai kutukutu. 25 Nā, ka mea a Mohi, "Kainga tēnā i tēnei rā; he hāpati hoki tēnei rā nā Ihowā; e kore tēnā mea e kitea e koutou ki te pārae i tēnei rā. 26 E ono ngā rā e kohikohi ai koutou i tēnā mea; ā, i te whitu o ngā rā ko te hāpati, ko reira kore ai."

27 Ā, i te whitu o ngā rā ka haere atu ētahi o te iwi ki te kohikohi, ā, kīhai i kitea. 28 Nā, ka mea a Ihowā ki a Mohi, "Kia pēhea te roa o koutou e kore nei e pupuri i āku whakahau, i āku ture? 29 Titiro, nō te mea kua hoatu e Ihowā te hāpati ki a koutou, koia i hoatu ai e ia i te rā ono he taro mō ngā rangi e rua. E noho koutou e tērā, e tērā, ki tōna wāhi anō; kaua tētahi e haere atu i tōna nohoanga i te rā whitu." 30 Nā, ka noho te iwi i te rā whitu.

31 Ā, huaina iho e te whare o Īharaira te ingoa o taua mea he mana. Tōna rite kei te purapura korianara, mā tonu; tōna reka kei te papa honi. 32 I mea anō a Mohi, "Ko te mea tēnei i ākona mai nei e Ihowā, ‘Whakakīia tētahi omere ki taua mea, ka rongoā ai mā ō koutou whakapaparanga; kia kite ai rātou i te taro i whāngaia ai koutou e ahau i te koraha i tāku whakaputanga mai i a koutou i te whenua o Īhipa.’ "

33 Ā, ka mea a Mohi ki a Ārona, "Tangohia tētahi oko, whaowhina hoki he mana ki roto, kia kotahi whakakīnga o te omere, ka whakatakoto ki te aroaro o Ihowā, rongoā ai mā ō koutou whakatupuranga."

34 Ā, whakatakotoria ana taua mea e Ārona ki mua i te Whakaaturanga rongoā ai, pērā tonu ia me tā Ihowā i ako ai ki a Mohi. 35 Ā, e whā tekau ngā tau i kai ai ngā tama a Īharaira i te mana, ā tae noa ki te whenua tāngata; he mana tā rātou i kai ai, ā tae noa ki ngā rohe o te whenua o Kanaana. 36 Nā, ko te omere, ko te wāhi whakatekau o te epa.
