Exodus 16 (KOS)

1Na 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.On the fifteenth day of the second month after they had left the land of Egypt, the whole congregation of Israel set out from Elim and came to the Desert of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai.

2Ingo yen mwesis elos nukewa torkaskas nu sel Moses ac AaronAnd there in the desert the whole congregation of Israel grumbled against Moses and Aaron.

3ac 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.”“If only we had died by the LORD’s hand in the land of Egypt!” they said. “There we sat by pots of meat and ate our fill of bread, but you have brought us into this desert to starve this whole assembly to death!”

4LEUM 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 the LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I will rain down bread from heaven for you. Each day the people are to go out and gather enough for that day. In this way I will test whether or not they will follow My instructions.

5Ke len se akonkosr elos in use sunun len luo ac akmolyela.”Then on the sixth day, when they prepare what they bring in, it will be twice as much as they gather on the other days.”

6Ouinge Moses ac Aaron fahk nu sin mwet Israel nukewa, “Oyeku kowos fah etu lah LEUM GOD pa uskowosme liki Egypt.So Moses and Aaron said to all the Israelites, “This evening you will know that it was the LORD who brought you out of the land of Egypt,

7Lututang 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 you will see the LORD’s glory, because He has heard your grumbling against Him. For who are we, that you should grumble against us?”

8Na 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 added, “The LORD will give you meat to eat this evening and bread to fill you in the morning, for He has heard your grumbling against Him. Who are we? Your grumblings are not against us but against the LORD.”

9Moses 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.”Then Moses said to Aaron, “Tell the whole congregation of Israel, ‘Come before the LORD, for He has heard your grumbling.’”

10Ke 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 as Aaron was speaking to the whole congregation of Israel, they looked toward the desert, and there in a cloud the glory of the LORD appeared.

11Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,Then the LORD said to Moses,

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 grumbling of the Israelites. Tell them, ‘At twilight you will eat meat, and in the morning you will be filled with bread. Then you will know that I am the LORD your God.’”

13Ke 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.That evening quail came and covered the camp, and in the morning there was a layer of dew around the camp.

14Ac ke aunfong uh wanginla, oasr ma na minini ac fisrasrsrasr se oan infohk uh yen mwesis uh. Arulana fisrasr in mokutkuti.When the layer of dew had evaporated, there were thin flakes on the desert floor, as fine as frost on the ground.

15Ke 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.When the Israelites saw it, they asked one another, “What is it?” For they did not know what it was. So Moses told them, “It is the bread that the LORD has given you to eat.

16LEUM 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 what the LORD has commanded: ‘Each one is to gather as much as he needs. You may take an omer for each person in your tent.’”

17Mwet Israel elos oru ouinge — kutu sifani yohk, ac kutu srik.So the Israelites did this. Some gathered more, and some less.

18Ke 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.When they measured it by the omer, he who gathered much had no excess, and he who gathered little had no shortfall. Each one gathered as much as he needed to eat.

19Moses el fahk nu selos, “Wangin sie mwet fah karingin kutu ma inge nu ke len se tok ah.”Then Moses said to them, “No one may keep any of it until morning.”

20A 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.But they did not listen to Moses; some people left part of it until morning, and it became infested with maggots and began to smell. So Moses was angry with them.

21Lotutang nukewa kais sie mwet sifauk fal nu ke lupa el enenu; ac ke faht uh foli ma lula fin fohk uh kofelik.Every morning each one gathered as much as was needed, and when the sun grew hot, it melted away.

22Ke 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,On the sixth day, they gathered twice as much food—two omers per person—and all the leaders of the congregation came and reported this to Moses.

23na 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.”He told them, “This is what the LORD has said: ‘Tomorrow is to be a day of complete rest, a holy Sabbath to the LORD. So bake what you want to bake, and boil what you want to boil. Then set aside whatever remains and keep it until morning.’”

24Ouinge elos orani ma lula nu ke len tok ah, in oana ma Moses el sapkin, na tiana pusrosrak ku ulauk.So they set it aside until morning as Moses had commanded, and it did not smell or contain any maggots.

25Moses 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.“Eat it today,” Moses said, “because today is a Sabbath to the LORD. Today you will not find anything in the field.

26Kowos 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.”For six days you may gather, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, it will not be there.”

27Ke len se akitkosr kutu sin mwet uh illa in suk mwe mongo, a wangin ma elos konauk.Yet on the seventh day some of the people went out to gather, but they did not find anything.

28Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, “Putaka pacl kowos mwet uh ac srangesr in akos ma nga sapkin uh?Then the LORD said to Moses, “How long will you refuse to keep My commandments and instructions?

29Esam 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.”Understand that the LORD has given you the Sabbath; that is why on the sixth day He will give you bread for two days. On the seventh day, everyone must stay where he is; no one may leave his place.”

30Ouinge mwet uh tia orekma ke len se akitkosr.So the people rested on the seventh day.

31Mwet 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.Now the house of Israel called the bread manna. It was white like coriander seed and tasted like wafers made with honey.

32Moses 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.”Moses said, “This is what the LORD has commanded: ‘Keep an omer of manna for the generations to come, so that they may see the bread I fed you in the wilderness when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.’”

33Moses 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.”So Moses told Aaron, “Take a jar and fill it with an omer of manna. Then place it before the LORD to be preserved for the generations to come.”

34Oana ma LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Moses, ouinge Aaron el filiya sufa sac mutun Tuptup in Wuleang, tuh in ku in karinginyukyang.And Aaron placed it in front of the Testimony, to be preserved just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

35Mwet Israel elos mongo manna ke yac angngaul, nwe ke elos sun sisken facl Canaan, acn elos oakwuki we. (The Israelites ate manna forty years, until they came to a land where they could settle; they ate manna until they reached the border of Canaan.

36Mwe srikasrak flao in pacl meet pangpang “omer,” na omer se oana quart luo.)(Now an omer is a tenth of an ephah.)
