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.

¹Huan Elim akipanin a zin jel ua, Israel suante honpi Aigupta gama kipan a pawtkhiak nung uh a kha nihna a nisawm leh nga niin Israel suante honpi Sin gamdai a tung ua, huai bel Elim leh Sinai kikala om ahi.

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

²Huan gamdai ah Israel suante omkhawm Mosi leh Aron demin a phun uh:

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.”

³Huchiin Israel suanten a kiang uah, Sa bel bultea i tut laiin, khamtaka tanghou i nek lai un, Aigupta gamah TOUPA khutin na si zomai lehang; hiaia omkhawm tengteng kiala honthat dingin, hiai gamdai ah na honpi khiak tak jiak un, chiin.

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.

⁴Huailaiin TOUPAN Mosi kiangah, Ngaiin, nou adingin van akipan tanghou ka honzu sak ding; huchiin mite a pai khe ding ua, ni tengin a biin bangzahzah hiam a lakhawm ding ua, ka danah a om uhiam om lou, amaute ka etchian theihna dingin.

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.”

⁵Huan a ni guk niin, hichi ahi dinga, a honlakte uh a bawl ding ua; ni tenga a lakkhawm uh mun niha tam ahi ding, a chi.

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;

⁶Huchiin Mosi leh Aronin Israel suante tengteng kiangah, Nitaklamin huai hun chiangin TOUPAN Aigupta gama kipan a honla khia chih na thei ding uh:

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?”

⁷Huan jingsangin, huai hun chiangin TOUPA thupina na mu ding ua; TOUPA dema na phunnate ulah a za ngala: ahi a, bang ka hi ua, kou hondema na phun uh! a chi ua.

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.”

⁸Huan Mosiin, nitaklam chiang a TOUPAN nek ding sa a honpiak chiangin hichi ahi ding, jingsanga kham ding tanghou a hongpiak chiangin; amah tunga na phun uh na phunnate uh TOUPAN a jak jiakin: ahia, bang ka hi ua! na phunnate uh kou demna ahi keia, TOUPA demna ahi jaw uh, a chi a.

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

⁹Huchiin Mosiin Aron kiangah thu a gena, Israel suante omkhawm tengteng kiangah TOUPA maah hongpai nai un; na phunnate ulah a zata ngala, chiin, a chi a.

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.

¹⁰Huan hichi ahi a, Aronin Israel suante omkhawm tengteng kianga thu a gen laiin, gamdai lam a et uleh, ngaiin, meipi ah TOUPA thupina a hongdawka.

¹¹Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

¹¹Huchiin TOUPAN Mosi kiangah thu a gena.

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.’”

¹²Israel suante phunna ka ja: a kiang uah thu genin, nitaklam chiangin, sa na ne ding ua, jingsang lam chiangin tanghou na kham ding uh; huchiin TOUPA na Pathian uh ka hi chih na thei ding uh, a chi a.

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

¹³Huan hichi ahia, nitaklamin vengkeng a hongkuan tou ua, giahphual a hong tuam dim ua; jingsangin giahphual kimvelah daitui a kia hi.

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.

¹⁴Daitui kia om nawn louh takin, ngaiin, gamdai pumpi ah thil bem neu, leitunga jingdai tui khal ngou chiaa neu, a oma.

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.”

¹⁵Huan, Israel suanten a muh un, Bang a hi? a kichi tuah chiat ua, bang ahia chih lah a thei ngal kei ua. Huchiin Mosiin a kiang uah, Hiai TOUPAN a honpiak na nek ding uh tanghou ahi.

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.”

¹⁶Hiai TOUPAN, mi chihin a kham hun ding bangin la hen, na mite uh zah dungjuiin, mi chih adin omer khat, la un chia TOUPAN thu a piak thil ahi; mi chihin a puanina om adingin la un, a chi a.

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

¹⁷Huchiin Israel suanten huchibangin ahih ua, a la ua, a khenin tam deuh, a khenin tawm deuh.

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.

¹⁸Huchia omera a teh uleh a tam lain bangmah a nei val keia, huan a tawm lain bangmah a tasam kei; mi chihin a kham ding bang jelin a la uhi.

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

¹⁹Huan, Mosiin, Kuamahin jingsang phain nutsiat neikei hen, a chi a.

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.

²⁰Hinapiin Mosi a ngaikhe kei ua; a lak ua khenkhatten jingchiang tanin a nusia ua, a thana, a uih: huchiin Mosi a tunguah a hehta hi.

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

²¹Huan jingsang tengin, mi chih in a kham ding bang jelin a la ua: ni a hongsat chiangin a zul.

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.

²²A ni guk niin hichi ahia, tanghou a mun niha tam a la ua, mi khat adingin omer nih: huan khawmpite heutute tengteng a hong ua Mosi a hilh uhi.

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.’”

²³Huan aman a kiang uah, Hiai TOUPA chihsa ahi, jingchiang TOUPA adia khawlni siangthou khawlna ahi na kan ding uh tuniin kang un, na huan ding uh huan un: huan a valte jingchiang tana kep ding in kikoih un, a chi a.

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

²⁴Huan a jingchiang tanin a koih ua, Mosi sawl bangin: a uih kei, huaiah than leng a om kei hi.

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

²⁵Huan Mosiin, Tuniin huai ne un; tuni lah TOUPA adingin khawlni ahi ngala: tunin gamlakah tanghou na mu kei ding uh.

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

²⁶Ni guk na la khawm ding ua; ahihhangin a ni sagih niin, huai khawlni ahi, huaiah bangmah a om kei ding, a chi a.

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

²⁷Huan hichi ahi, mite laka khenkhat a pai khia ua a ni sagih niin lakhawm dingin, bangmah a mu kei uh.

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

²⁸Huan TOUPAN Mosi kiangah, Bangtan ka thupiakte leh ka dante jui dah ding na hi ua!

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.”

²⁹Enin, TOUPAN khawlni a honpiak ngal leh, huaijiakin a ni gukniin ni nih ading tanghou a honpia a; mi chih a mun ah om hen, a ni sagih niin a mun akipan kuamah pai khe kei hen, a chi a.

³⁰So the people rested on the seventh day.

³⁰Huchiin mite ni sagih niin a khawlta uhi.

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.

³¹Huan Israel inkuanin a min Manna a chi uh: sing namtui chi bang ahi, a ngou; i chep leh tanghou pei khuaiju sawh a bang.

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.’”

³²Huan Mosiin, Hiai thil jaw TOUPA thupiak ahi, na khang na khang ua dingin omer khat thun dim un; Aigupta gama kipana ka honpi khiak laia, gamdaia ka honvakna tanghou a muh theihna ding un, a chi a.

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.”

³³Huan, Mosiin Aron kiangah, Bel la inla, huaiah omer khat manna dim koih inla, TOUPA maah lui khiain, na khang na khang ua, zuih dingin, a chi a.

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

³⁴TOUPAN Mosi thu a piak bangin, huchibangin Aronin Thukhun maah, zuih dingin a lui touta hi.

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.

³⁵Huan gam kiluah a hongtun masiah uh, Israel suanten kum sawmli manna a ne ngei uhi; Kanan gamgi a hongtun masiah uh, manna a ne ngei uhi.Huchiin omer khat ephah khata a mun sawmna ahi.

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

³⁶Huchiin omer khat ephah khata a mun sawmna ahi.
