Exodus 16 (MFO)

1Wa k'iwu chi s'ophe kw'ottong afa, mada anọng p'Israẹl akk'abina k'Ijip, bẹ biphyir abina orenga k'Elim apyiri k'ibe s'anọng an-arukhi sa Sin, s'iwobh k'ottem kw'Ẹlim, ọmaana 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.

2M'ibe nna s'anọng an-arukhi rọ s'ebhonmọr ch'Israẹl biphyir ẹnwọhni, ẹttaanga anang Mosẹs ọmaana Aarọn.And there in the desert the whole congregation of Israel grumbled against Moses and Aaron.

3Anọng p'Israẹl aben bẹ bi, “Ira ojibh ọtzam bi, mope ka mbọhk s'Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi k'Ijip, kẹ da mowobh ẹwọr ochi nden, ọmaana ẹchakpo ọdọdọk biphyir mach'ọdaakhi man. Yina, bọng akk'man atzima akwu m'ibe nna s'anọng an-arukhi bi, okwo ofhu anọngeya mba biphyir.”“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!”

4Mẹ wọ, Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi oben Mosẹs bi, “Kaam ńdọhm brẹd kw'ótzebh mach'ẹrọng ch'efon k'ọrọngkpakpa nnang bọng. K'ewu kpenamkpen anọng mba ám-ayin k'iyaan atza akpokhi f'obenga bẹ. Kaam ńnenga m'eden nda ńyoma bẹ, ifha nne ode na bẹ átzor ka ndọhna saam.”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.

5Ottong iwu izadani, bẹ asi ọchattọhk fa bẹ akpokhi, f'ode igbe ifa ka fa bẹ am-akkekkeni akpokhi, k'iwu ọdọdọk.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.”

6Mẹ wọ, Mosẹs ọmaana Aarọn aben anọng p'Israẹl biphyir bi, “Sa k'ẹchọhkha, bọng árong-oronga bi, Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi wọ otzim bọng obina k'Ijip.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,

7Bọng abira áre abarada p'Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi ore k'ekpebha, okhuri bi, kẹ ọkk'ẹnwọhni cha bọng attaanga anang-ẹ ọbhaanga. Maman ode macha bọng anọng, pa bọng anwọhni, attaanga anang o?”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?”

8Mosẹs obiro oben bi, “Bọng árong-oronga bi, Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi wọ, mada ọnang bọng nden sa bọng achi k'ẹchọhkha, ọmaana brẹd kwa bọng aror bi, achi k'ekpebha, okhuri bi, kẹ ọkk'ẹnwọhni cha bọng attaang anang-ẹ ọbhaanga. Maman ode macha bọng anọng, pa bọng anwọhni, attaanga anang o? K'odik ọkkakka, bọng am-anwọhni, attaanga anang Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi e, maman arang e.”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.”

9Mẹ wọ, Mosẹs oben Aarọn bi, “Kọ gbaak anọng p'ebhonmọr ch'Israẹl biphyir bi, bẹ arenga ayin Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi k'itzitzikha, okhuri bi, kẹ okk'ẹnwọhni chabọng ọbhaanga.”Then Moses said to Aaron, “Tell the whole congregation of Israel, ‘Come before the LORD, for He has heard your grumbling.’”

10Mada Aarọn ọm-ọgbaak anọng p'ebhonmọr ch'Israẹl biphyir atzim, bẹ akkeri k'ibe s'anọng an-arukhi, are abarada p'Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi p'ayini k'eboni.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.

11Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi oben Mosẹs bi,Then the LORD said to Moses,

12“Kaam nkk'ẹnwọhni ch'anọng p'Israẹl mmaanga e. Kọ gbaak bẹ bi, ‘K'ẹchọhkha bọng áchi etzen, k'ekpebha, bọng áchi brẹd maa bọng adọbh. Mẹ wọ kwa bọng átzima áronga bi, kaam wọ nde Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi, kw'ode Ibinọkpaabyi kwabọng.’ ”“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.’”

13Mẹ wọ, m'ẹchọhkha nduma, ọnọhn oyin k'ọhaabh maa obubha ibhingabe bi waam. K'ekpebha, odiri-bẹrẹbẹrẹ otzebh ọkhọri ibhingabe biphyir.That evening quail came and covered the camp, and in the morning there was a layer of dew around the camp.

14Mada odiri-bẹrẹbẹrẹ okk'odimi, ekpo mach'abubuma eyin ebubha m'irerek bi gbii. k'ibe s'anọng an-arukhi.When the layer of dew had evaporated, there were thin flakes on the desert floor, as fine as frost on the ground.

15Mada anọng p'Israẹl are fẹ, bẹ fẹ karong, mẹ wọ, bẹ an-abọbh ayok bi, “Bọng ọttọhk-dema vọ ma?” Mosẹs oben bẹ bi, “Brẹd kw'Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi ọnangi bọng bi, bọng achi wọ e.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.

16Ma wọ ode ndọhna s'Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi ọkk'ọnanga bi, ‘Ọnọng-ọnọng okpokhi fẹ mach'ọdaakh-ẹ e. Ọnọng-ọnọng okpokhi ogbobhimbọhk, atzor k'ọnọngmik kw'ikhira sọ.’ ”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.’”

17Wa anọng p'Israẹl asi macha bẹ agbaakhi bẹ. Anọng bani akpokhi k'ọhaabh, bani akpokhi ibebaa.So the Israelites did this. Some gathered more, and some less.

18Mada bẹ an-ayom k'agbobhimbọhk, bẹ an-are bi, ayok p'akpokhi k'ọhaabh bẹ kpọng kakpokhi. Ayok p'abira akpokhi ibebaa, bẹ f'ọkhar kpọng kabira akpokhi. Ọnọng-ọnọng okpokhi macha fẹ obeng-ẹ.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.

19Mẹ wọ, Mosẹs oben bẹ bi, “Ọnọng manda wani oningi ọchattọhk mva ohokhi maa ewu ehobha o.”Then Moses said to them, “No one may keep any of it until morning.”

20Yina, bẹ ayok bani Mosẹs itzọhng kayong. Bẹ ahok ọchattọhk mva maa ewu ehobha. K'ekpebha fẹ ochu ọnwa nniri, obiro ọttẹwọr ohom. Mẹ wọ e, ettem ẹkhọm Mosẹs etzima etzor bẹ.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.

21Ekpebhawu kpenamkpen, ọnọng-ọnọng okpokhi macha fẹ obeng-ẹ. Yina, ekpikhira ẹkhọmi, fa bẹ akpokhi arik oyona biphyir.Every morning each one gathered as much as was needed, and when the sun grew hot, it melted away.

22Kẹ ewu ch'ettong izadani, bẹ akpokhi f'ode igbe ifa, ọnọng-ọnọng agbobhi-mbọhk afa. Wa adeho p'obhon atzọkha odik nwa atza agbaak Mosẹs.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.

23Mosẹs oben bẹ bi, “Ma wọ ode ndọhna s'Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi ọnangi bi, ‘Ophyini ode ẹwọhngkwokhawu, ẹwọhngkwokhawu ch'awurada ẹnang Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi. Mẹ wọ, bọng bọm ọchattọhk kpenamkpen fa bọng abọm, bọng awọhn kpenamkpen fa bọng awọhn. Bọng hok kpenamkpen f'orik maa opyiri ekpebha.’ ”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.’”

24Mẹ wọ, bẹ asi macha Mosẹs ọtzọhni bẹ, bẹ ahok f'orikhi maa ewu ehobha. Wa fẹ kohomi, nniri kobiro ọnwa.So they set it aside until morning as Moses had commanded, and it did not smell or contain any maggots.

25Mosẹs oben bi, “Bọng chi fẹ mayina, okhuri bi, mayina ode ẹwọhngkwokhawu ọnang Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi. Bọng manda vani k'irerek mayina, káre e.“Eat it today,” Moses said, “because today is a Sabbath to the LORD. Today you will not find anything in the field.

26Bọng am-akpokhi fẹ k'iwu izadani, yina, ottong iwu izenamfa, kw'ode ẹwọhngkwokhawu, manda vani kóde.”For six days you may gather, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, it will not be there.”

27Kaambi mẹ wọ, ottong iwu izenamfa, anọng bani ayin k'iyaan bi bẹ atza akpokhi ọchattọhk, bẹ manda vani kare.Yet on the seventh day some of the people went out to gather, but they did not find anything.

28Mẹ wọ, Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi oben Mosẹs bi, “Ogbe obhir otzuma yan, kwa bọng ábhum asana paam, ọmaana aphaangi paam ohohok o?Then the LORD said to Moses, “How long will you refuse to keep My commandments and instructions?

29Bọng jima bi, Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi okk'bọng ẹwọhngkwokhawu ọnanga, kẹ wọ osi ottong iwu izadani, ọm-ọnang bọng brẹd kw'iwu ifa. Ottong iwu izenamfa, ọnọng-ọnọng owobha k'ibe s'owobh. Ọnọng oningi k'iyaan oyini.”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.”

30Mẹ wọ, anọng mba akwokha ọwọhng k'ewu ch'ettong izenamfa.So the people rested on the seventh day.

31Wa anọng p'Israẹl ayeri brẹd nwa Mana. Wa fẹ owuri mach'echimọma cha koriyanda, fẹ ọdaam mach'obubhkpa kwa bẹ atzim akhọkhọnana asi.Now the house of Israel called the bread manna. It was white like coriander seed and tasted like wafers made with honey.

32Mosẹs oben bi, “Ma wọ ode ndọhna s'Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi, ‘Bọng kpokhi ogbobhimbọhk kwa Mana ahok igbọ s'íkwu k'ororo, ifha bẹ are brẹd kw'iwa nnangi bọng achi k'ibe s'anọng an-arukhi, mada ndim bọng mbina k'Ijip.’ ”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.’”

33Mosẹs oben Aarọn bi, “Tọkha ogbobhimbọhk kwa mana awọna k'ogbere. Atzọkha ogbere nwa abera k'itzitzikha s'Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi, owobha otzik igbọ s'íkwu k'ororo.”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.”

34Aarọn osi macha Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi okk'Mosẹs ọtzọhna, ọtzọkha ogbere nwa obera k'itzitzikha s'Ẹkkọhbhi cha Echekhi, ifha owobha mẹ.And Aaron placed it in front of the Testimony, to be preserved just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

35Wa anọng p'Israẹl achi Mana ka cho arọbh afa, maa bẹ apyiri k'irerek s'anọng arukhi. Bẹ achi Mana maa bẹ apyiri k'enem cha Kenaan.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.

36Omer ode ogbobhimbọk wani k'agbobhimbọhk jobh p'asi ẹpha kw'ode ọkwakkama.(Now an omer is a tenth of an ephah.)
