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.

¹They 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.

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

²The whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness;

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.

³and the children of Israel said to them, “We wish that we had died by the hand of Yahweh 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.”

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.

⁴Then 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.

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.

⁵It 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.”

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;

⁶Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, “At evening, then you shall know that Yahweh has brought you out from the land of Egypt;

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?

⁷and in the morning, then you shall see the glory of Yahweh; because he hears your murmurings against Yahweh. Who are we, that you murmur against us?”

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.

⁸Moses said, “Now Yahweh shall 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.”

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.

⁹Moses said to Aaron, “Tell all the congregation of the children of Israel, ‘Come near before Yahweh, for he has heard your murmurings.’”

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.

¹⁰It happened, as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and behold, the glory of Yahweh appeared in the cloud.

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

¹¹Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

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.

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: and you shall know that I am Yahweh your God.’”

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.

¹³It happened at evening that quail came up and covered the camp; and in the morning the dew lay around the camp.

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.

¹⁴When 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.

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.

¹⁵When the children of Israel saw it, they said one to 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.”

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.

¹⁶This is the thing which Yahweh has commanded: “Gather of it everyone according to his eating; an omer An omer is about 2.2 litres 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.”

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

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

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.

¹⁸When they measured it with an omer, he who gathered much had nothing over, and he who gathered little had no lack. They gathered every man according to his eating.

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

¹⁹Moses said to them, “Let no one leave of it until the morning.”

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.

²⁰Notwithstanding they didn’t listen to Moses, but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and became foul: and Moses was angry with them.

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.

²¹They gathered it morning by morning, everyone according to his eating. When the sun grew hot, it melted.

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.

²²It happened 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.

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.

²³He 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.’”

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.

²⁴They laid it up until the morning, as Moses asked, and it didn’t become foul, neither was there any worm in it.

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.

²⁵Moses said, “Eat that today, for today is a Sabbath to Yahweh. Today you shall not find it in the field.

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.

²⁶Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day is the Sabbath. In it there shall be none.”

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

²⁷It happened on the seventh day, that some of the people went out to gather, and they found none.

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?

²⁸Yahweh said to Moses, “How long do you refuse to keep my commandments and my laws?

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.

²⁹Behold, 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.”

³⁰Na ka noho te iwi i te ra whitu.

³⁰So the people rested on the seventh day.

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.

³¹The house of Israel called its name Manna, “Manna” means “What is it?” and it was like coriander seed, white; and its taste was like wafers with honey.

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.

³²Moses 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 forth from the land of Egypt.’”

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.

³³Moses 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.”

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.

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

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.

³⁵The 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.

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

³⁶Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah. 1 ephah is about 22 litres or about 2/3 of a bushel
