¹And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came unto 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.

¹¶ Na ka turia e ratou i Erimi, a ka tae te huihuinga katoa o nga tama a Iharaira ki te koraha o Hini, ki waenganui o Erimi o Hinai, i te tekau ma rima o nga ra o te rua o nga marama o to ratou haerenga mai i te whenua o Ihipa.

²And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness:

²Na ka amuamu te huihui katoa o nga tama a Iharaira ki a Mohi raua ko Arona i te koraha:

³and the children of Israel said unto them, Would that we had died by the hand of Jehovah in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh-pots, when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.

³A ka mea nga tama a Iharaira ki a raua, E, te mate atu ra matou i te ringa o Ihowa i te whenua o Ihipa, i a matou e noho ana i te taha o nga kohua kikokiko, e kai taro ana, a makona noa! na korua nei hoki matou i kawe mai ki tenei koraha kia kohu rutia ai tenei whakaminenga katoa ki te matekai.

⁴Then said Jehovah unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a day's portion every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or not.

⁴Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Nana, ka uaina iho e ahau he taro i te rangi ma koutou; a ma te iwi e haere, e kohikohi i to tenei rangi, i to tenei rangi, kia whakamatau ai ahau i a ratou, e haere ranei ratou i taku ture, kahore ranei.

⁵And 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.

⁵A, a te ono o nga ra, ka taka e ratou ta ratou e mau mai ai; kia takiruatia ta ratou i kohikohi ai i etahi rangi ake ka rite ki to tenei.

⁶And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At even, then ye shall know that Jehovah hath brought you out from the land of Egypt;

⁶Na ka mea a Mohi raua ko Arona ki nga tama katoa a Iharaira, Ka ahiahi, na, ka mohio koutou na Ihowa koutou i arahi mai i te whenua o Ihipa;

⁷and in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of Jehovah; for that he heareth your murmurings against Jehovah: and what are we, that ye murmur against us?

⁷A i te ata, na, ka kite koutou i te kororia o ihowa; e whakarongo mai ana hoki ia ki a koutou amuamu ki a Ihowa: tena ko maua, he aha maua, i amuamu ai koutou ki a maua?

⁸And Moses said, [This shall be], when Jehovah shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that Jehovah heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against Jehovah.

⁸I mea ano a Mohi, Ka mohio koutou, ua homai e Ihowa ki a koutou he kikokiko hei kai i te ahiahi, a i te ata he taro, a makona noa, no te mea kua rongo a Ihowa ki a koutou amuamu e amuamu na koutou ki a ia: ko maua ia, hei aha? kihai koutou i amua mu ki a maua, engari ki a Ihowa.

⁹And Moses said unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before Jehovah; for he hath heard your murmurings.

⁹Na ka mea a Mohi ki a Arona, Mea atu ki te huihui katoa o nga tama a Iharaira, Whakatata mai ki te aroaro o Ihowa kua rongo hoki ia ki a koutou amuamu.

¹⁰And it came to pass, as Aaron spake unto the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of Jehovah appeared in the cloud.

¹⁰A, i a Arona e korero ana ki te huihui katoa o nga tama a Iharaira, na ka tahuri ratou whaka te koraha, na, ko te kororia o Ihowa e puta mai ana i roto i te kapua.

¹¹And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

¹¹Na ka korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi, ka mea,

¹²I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread: and ye shall know that I am Jehovah your God.

¹²Kua rongo ahau ki nga amuamu a nga tama a Iharaira: korero atu ki a ratou, mea atu, Kia ahiahi ka kai koutou i te kikokiko, a i te ata ka makona i te taro; a ka mohio koutou ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua.

¹³And it came to pass at even, that the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the camp.

¹³¶ A i te ahiahi, na, ka puta mai te koitareke, a kapi ana te puni: a i te ata kua takoto te tomairangi i te nohoanga, tawhio noa, tawhio noa.

¹⁴And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness a small round thing, small as the hoar-frost on the ground.

¹⁴A ka mimiti ake te papanga tomairangi, na, he mea ririki, potakataka nei, kei te mata o te koraha, ririki, me te haupapa, i runga i te whenua.

¹⁵And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, What is it? For they knew not what it was. And Moses said unto them, It is the bread which Jehovah hath given you to eat.

¹⁵A, i te kitenga o nga tama a Iharaira, ka mea ratou tetahi ki tetahi, He aha tena? kihai hoki ratou i mohio he aha ranei. Na ka mea a Mohi ki a ratou, Ko te taro ra tena ka homai nei e Ihowa ki a koutou hei kai.

¹⁶This is the thing which Jehovah hath commanded, Gather ye of it every man according to his eating; an omer a head, according to the number of your persons, shall ye take it, every man for them that are in his tent.

¹⁶Ko te mea tena i akona mai ra e Ihowa, Kohikohia mai i reira e tera, e tera, kia rite ki tana e kai ai: he omere ma te tangata, kia rite ki to koutou tokomaha: kohikohia e tera, e tera, ma te hunga i tona teneti.

¹⁷And the children of Israel did so, and gathered some more, some less.

¹⁷A pera ana nga tama a Iharaira, na kohikohia ana, ta tetahi he nui, ta tetahi he iti.

¹⁸And 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.

¹⁸A ka mehuatia e ratou ki te omere, kihai i hira ta te tangata i te wahi nui, kihai hoki he hapa o tana i te wahi nohinohi: rite tonu ki te kai a tera, a tera, ta ratou i kohikohi ai.

¹⁹And Moses said unto them, Let no man leave of it till the morning.

¹⁹Na ka mea a Mohi ki a ratou, Kaua e whakatoea tetahi wahi o tena ki te ata.

²⁰Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and became foul: and Moses was wroth with them.

²⁰Engari kihai ratou i whakarongo ki a Mohi; a whakatoea ana e etahi tetahi wahi o taua mea mo te ata, a muia ana e te kutukutu, a piro ake: a riri ana a Mohi ki a ratou.

²¹And they gathered it morning by morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it melted.

²¹A kohikohia ana taua mea e ratou i tenei ata, i tenei ata, rite tonu ki ta tenei tangata, ki ta tenei tangata, e kai ai; a ka mahana te ra, na, kua rewa.

²²And it came to pass, that 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.

²²¶ A i te ono o nga ra ka takiruatia te taro i kohikohia e ratou e rua hoki nga omere ma te tangata kotahi; a ka haere mai nga rangatira katoa o te huihui, ka korero ki a Mohi.

²³And he said unto them, This is that which Jehovah hath spoken, Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy sabbath unto Jehovah: bake that which ye will bake, and boil that which ye will boil; and all that remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.

²³Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, Ko ia tenei ta Ihowa i korero ra, Ko apopo te okiokinga o te hapati tapu o Ihowa: tunua ta koutou e tunu ai, kohuatia hoki ta koutou e kohua ai; a, ko te toenga, waiho ma koutou, rongoatia mo te ata.

²⁴And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not become foul, neither was there any worm therein.

²⁴A rongoatia atu ana e ratou mo te ata, i pera ano me ta Mohi i ki ai; kihai hoki i piro, kahore hoki i whai kutukutu.

²⁵And Moses said, Eat that to-day; for to-day is a sabbath unto Jehovah: to-day ye shall not find it in the field.

²⁵Na ka mea a Mohi, Kainga tena i tenei ra; he hapati hoki tenei ra na Ihowa: e kore tena mea e kite e koutou ki te parae i tenei ra.

²⁶Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.

²⁶E ono nga ra e kohikohi ai koutou i tena mea; a i te whitu o nga ra ko te hapati, ko reira kore ai.

²⁷And it came to pass on the seventh day, that there went out some of the people to gather, and they found none.

²⁷A i te whitu o nga ra ka haere atu etahi o te iwi ki te kohikohi, a kihai i kitea.

²⁸And Jehovah said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?

²⁸Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Kia pehea te roa o koutou e kore nei e pupuri i aku whakahau, i aku ture?

²⁹See, for that Jehovah 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.

²⁹Titiro, no te mea kua hoatu e Ihowa te hapati ki a koutou, koia i hoatu ai e ia i te ra ono he taro mo nga rangi e rua; e noho koutou e tera, e tera, ki tona wahi ano; kaua tetahi e haere atu i tona nohoanga i te ra whitu.

³⁰So the people rested on the seventh day.

³⁰Na ka noho te iwi i te ra whitu.

³¹And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers [made] with honey.

³¹A huaina iho e te whare o Iharaira te ingoa o taua mea, he Mana: tona rite kei te purapura korianara, ma tonu; tona reka kei te papa honi.

³²And Moses said, This is the thing which Jehovah hath commanded, Let an omerful of it be kept throughout your generations, that they may see the bread wherewith I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.

³²¶ I mea ano a Mohi, Ko te mea tenei i akona mai nei e Ihowa, Whakakiia tetahi omere ki taua mea, ka rongoa ai ma o koutou whakapaparanga; kia kite ai ratou i te taro i whangaia ai koutou e ahau i te koraha i taku whakaputanga mai i a koutou i te w henua o Ihipa.

³³And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omerful of manna therein, and lay it up before Jehovah, to be kept throughout your generations.

³³A ka mea a Mohi ki a Arona, Tangohia tetahi oko, whaowhina hoki he mana ki roto, kia kotahi whakakiinga o te omere, ka whakatakoto ki te aroaro o Ihowa, rongoa ai ma o koutou whakatupuranga.

³⁴As Jehovah commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.

³⁴A whakatakotoria ana taua mea e Arona ki mua i te Whakaaturanga rongoa ai, pera tonu ia me ta Ihowa i ako ai ki a Mohi.

³⁵And the children of Israel did eat the manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited; they did eat the manna, until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan.

³⁵A e wha tekau nga tau i kai ai nga tama a Iharaira i te mana, a tae noa ki te whenua tangata; he mana ta ratou i kai ai, a tae noa ki nga rohe o te whenua o Kanaana.

³⁶Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.

³⁶Na, ko te moere, ko te wahi whakatekau o te epa.
