¹And they journeyed from Elim, and the whole assembly of the children of Israel came into the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departure out of the land of Egypt.

¹Zvino vakabva Erimu parwendo rwavo, ungano yose yavana vaIsiraeri ikasvika parenje reSini, riri pakati peErimu neSinai, nezuva regumi namashanu romwedzi wechipiri pakubva kwavo panyika yeEgipita.

²And the whole assembly of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness.

²Zvino ungano yose yavaIsiraeri ikapopotera Mozisi naAroni murenje;

³And the children of Israel said to 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 ate bread to the full; for ye have brought us out into this wilderness, to kill this whole congregation with hunger!

³vana vaIsiraeri vakati kwavari, Tingadai takafira hedu munyika yeEgipita noruoko rwaJehovha, tigere hedu pahari dzenyama, tichidya zvingwa tichiguta; nekuti matibudisira kurenje iri, kuti muuraye ungano iyi yose nenzara.

⁴Then said Jehovah to Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather the daily need on its day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or not.

⁴Ipapo Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, Tarira, ndichakunisirai chingwa chinobva kudenga; vanhu vachafanira kubuda kundozviunganidzira chiyero chinoringana nezuva rimwe nerimwe, ndivaidze ndione kana vachida kuteerera murayiro wangu, kana kwete.

⁵And it shall come to pass on the sixth day, that they shall prepare what they have brought in; and it shall be twice as much as they shall gather daily.

⁵Zvino nomusi wetanhatu kana vogadzira izvo zvavauya nazvo, zvichaita zviyero zviviri kana vachienzanisa nechiyero chavanosiunganidza zuva rimwe nerimwe.

⁶And Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, In the evening, then shall ye know that Jehovah has brought you out from the land of Egypt;

⁶Zvino Mozisi naAroni vakati kuvana vaIsiraeri vose, Madekwana muchaziva kuti Jehovha ndiye akakubudisai panyika yeEgipita.

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

⁷Fume mangwana muchaona kubwinya kwaJehovha, nekuti iye akanzwa kupopota kwamakapopotera Jehovha nako; isu tisu vanaaniko, zvamunotipopotera isu?

⁸And Moses said, When Jehovah gives you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for Jehovah hears your murmurings which ye murmur against him ... and what [are] we? your murmurings are not against us, but against Jehovah.

⁸Mozisi akati, Muchaona izvozvo kana Jehovha achikupai nyama madekwana, mukaidya, namangwana kana achikupai zvingwa, mukaguta; nekuti Jehovha akanzwa kupopota kwenyu kwamakamupopotera nako; isu tisu vanaaniko zvamunotipopotera isu? Hamutipopoteri isu, asi Jehovha.

⁹And Moses spoke to Aaron, Say to all the assembly of the children of Israel, Come near into the presence of Jehovah; for he has heard your murmurings.

⁹Mozisi akati kuna Aroni, Udza ungano yose yavana vaIsiraeri, uti, Swederai pamberi paJehovha, nekuti akanzwa kupopota kwenyu.

¹⁰And it came to pass, when Aaron spoke to the whole assembly of the children of Israel, that they turned toward the wilderness, and behold, the glory of Jehovah appeared in the cloud.

¹⁰Zvino Aroni akati achataura neungano yose yavana vaIsiraeri, ivo vakaona kubwinya kwaJehovha kuchiratidzwa mugore.

¹¹And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

¹¹Jehovha akataura naMozisi, akati,

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

¹²Ndanzwa kupopota kwevana vaIsiraeri; taura navo uti, Madekwana muchadya nyama, fume mangwana muchaguta zvingwa; zvino muchaziva kuti ndini Jehovha, Mwari wenyu.

¹³And it came to pass in the evening, that quails came up, and covered the camp; and in the morning the dew lay round the camp.

¹³Zvino madekwana zvihuta zvikakwira, zvikafukidza misasa; fume mangwana dova rakanga rakapoteredza misasa.

¹⁴And when the dew that lay [round it] was gone up, behold, on the face of the wilderness there was [something] fine, granular, fine as hoar-frost, on the ground.

¹⁴Zvino dova rakanga riri pasi rikati radzimuka, vakaona zvinhu zviduku zvakaurungana zvakanga zviri pasi murenje, zviduku sechando pavhu.

¹⁵And the children of Israel saw [it], and said one to another, What is it? for they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them, This is the bread which Jehovah has given you to eat.

¹⁵Vana vaIsiraeri vakati vachizviona vakabvunzana, vachiti, Chinyiko? nekuti vakanga vasingazvizivi. Mozisi akati kwavari, Ndicho chingwa chamapiwa naJehovha kuti mudye.

¹⁶This is the thing which Jehovah has commanded: Gather of it every man according to what he can eat, an omer a poll, [according to] the number of your persons: ye shall take every man for those that are in his tent.

¹⁶Zvino heri shoko rakarairwa naJehovha, Muzviunganidzire chinhu icho, mumwe nomumwe sezvaanosidya; munhu mumwe nomumwe omeri imwe, muchiverenga vanhu venyu, mumwe nomumwe atorere vari mutende rake.

¹⁷And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some much, some little.

¹⁷Vana vaIsiraeri vakaita saizvozvo, vamwe vakaunganidza zvizhinji, vamwe zvishoma.

¹⁸And they measured with the omer: then he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little wanted nothing: they had gathered every man according to the measure of his eating.

¹⁸Zvino vakati vozviidza neomeri, uyo akanga aunganidza zvizhinji haana kusarirwa nechinhu, naiye akanga aunganidza zvishoma haana kushaiwa; mumwe nomumwe akanga aunganidza sezvaaisidya.

¹⁹And Moses said to them, Let no man leave [any] of it until the morning.

¹⁹Mozisi akati kwavari, Kurege kuva nomunhu anosiya zvimwe kusvikira mangwana.

²⁰But they did not hearken to Moses; and some men left of it until the morning; then worms bred in it and it stank. And Moses was wroth with them.

²⁰Asi havana kuteerera Mozisi, asi vamwe vakasiya zvimwe kusvikira mangwana; zvikazara honye, zvikanhuwa; Mozisi akavatsamwira.

²¹And they gathered it every morning, every man as much as he could eat; and when the sun became hot, it melted.

²¹Vakazviunganidza mangwanani ose, mumwe nomumwe sezvaaidya; kana zuva ropisa zvakanyakatika.

²²And it came to pass on the sixth day, that they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one; and all the princes of the assembly came and told Moses.

²²Nezuva retanhatu vaiunganidza chingwa vachiita zviyero zviviri, mumwe nomumwe omeri zvino vakuru vose veungano vakauya kuzoudza Mozisi.

²³And he said to them, This is what Jehovah has said: To-morrow is the rest, the holy sabbath, of Jehovah: bake what ye will bake, and cook what ye will cook; and lay up for yourselves all that remains over, to be kept for the morning.

²³Mozisi akati kwavari, Ndizvo zvakataurwa naJehovha, Mangwana izuva rezororo, isabata rakatsaurirwa Jehovha; gochai zvamunoda kugocha, bikai zvamunoda kubika; zvose zvasara muzvivige, muzvichengetere mangwana.

²⁴And they laid it up for the morning, as Moses had commanded; and it did not stink, neither was there any worm in it.

²⁴Vakazviviga kusvikira mangwana, sezvavakanga varairwa naMozisi; zvino izvo hazvina kunhuwa, nehonye hadzina kuzovamo.

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

²⁵Mozisi akati, Chidyai henyu izvozvo nhasi, nekuti nhasi isabata raJehovha. Nhasi hamungazviwani kusango.

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

²⁶Munofanira kuzviunganidza mazuva matanhatu; asi zuva rechinomwe isabata; nezuva iroro hakungavi nechinhu.

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

²⁷Zvino nezuva rechinomwe vamwe vakabuda kunozviunganidza, asi havana kuwana chinhu.

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

²⁸Zvino Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, Munoramba kuchengeta mirairo yangu nemirau yangu kusvikira rinhiko?

²⁹See, for Jehovah hath given you the sabbath; therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread for two days. Abide every man in his place: let no man go from his place on the seventh day.

²⁹Tarirai, Jehovha zvaakakupai sabata, naizvozvo anokupai zvokudya zvamazuva maviri nezuva retanhatu; mumwe nomumwe wenyu ngaagare kwaagere, kurega kuvapo nomunhu anobuda kwaagere nezuva rechinomwe.

³⁰And the people rested on the seventh day.

³⁰Vanhu vakazorora nezuva rechinomwe.

³¹And the house of Israel called its name Manna; and it was like coriander-seed, white; and the taste of it was like cake with honey.

³¹Zvino veimba yaIsiraeri vakatumidza izvozvo zita rinonzi Mana; chakanga chiri chichena setsanga yekorianderi; kunaka kwazvo kwakanga kwakafanana nezvingwa zvakabikwa nouchi.

³²And Moses said, This is the thing which Jehovah has commanded: Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they may see the bread that I gave you to eat in the wilderness, when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.

³²Zvino Mozisi akati, Ndiro shoko rakarairwa naJehovha, Omeri izere ngaichengeterwe marudzi enyu, vaone chingwa chandakakugutsai nacho murenje, nguva yandakakubudisai munyika yeEgipita.

³³And Moses said to Aaron, Take a pot, and put in it an omer full of manna, and deposit it before Jehovah, to be kept for your generations.

³³Zvino Mozisi akati kuna Aroni, Tora hari uisemo omeri izere nemana, uigadzike pamberi paJehovha, kuti ichengeterwe marudzi enyu.

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

³⁴Sezvakanga zvarairwa Mozisi naJehovha, saizvozvo Aroni akazvigadzika pamberi peChipupuriro, kuti zvichengetwepo.

³⁵And the children of Israel ate the manna forty years, until they came into an inhabited land: they ate the manna until they came to the borders of the land of Canaan.

³⁵Vana vaIsiraeri vakadya mana*makore makumi mana, kudzimara vachisvika panyika yakagarwa navanhu; vakadya mana*kudzimara vachisvika pamiganhu yenyika yeKanani.

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

³⁶Zvino omeri chegumi cheefa.
