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.

¹ Israyla izey jama kulu tun Elim ka furo Sin ganjo ra kaŋ go Elim da Sinayi game ra din, zaari way cindi guwanta hane, handu hinkanta ra i Misira laabu tunyaŋo banda.

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.

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

² Israyla izey jama kulu na Musa nda Haruna jance ganjo ra.

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

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.”

³ Israyla izey ne i se: «Doŋ day iri ma bu Rabbi kambe ra Misira laabo ra, waato kaŋ iri goono ga goro ham kusey do. Iri ga buuru ŋwa ka kungu, amma araŋ n'iri kaa ka kande iri neewo ganjo wo ra hal araŋ ma jama wo kulu wi da haray.»

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.

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.

⁴ Saaya din Rabbi ne Musa se: «Guna, ay ga ŋwaari gusam araŋ se kaŋ ga fun beene. Borey ga fatta mo zaari kulu ka zaaro din ŋwaaro margu, zama ay m'i neesi ka di hal i ga dira ay asariya* ra, wala i s'a te.

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.

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.”

⁵ A ga ciya mo, zaari iddanta hane, i ga soola haŋ kaŋ i ga kande, a ma to wo kaŋ i ga kumna zaari kulu din sorro hinka.»

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.

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;

⁶ Musa nda Haruna ne Israyla izey kulu se: «Hala wiciri kambu kulu araŋ ga bay kaŋ Rabbi no k'araŋ kaa Misira laabo ra.

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;

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?”

⁷ Susuba mo, saaya din araŋ ga di Rabbi darza, za kaŋ a goono ga maa janca kaŋ araŋ goono ga te nga se. Iri binde, ifo iri, hala nda araŋ m'iri jance?»

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?

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.”

⁸ Musa ne koyne: «Araŋ ga bay da Rabbi n'araŋ no ham araŋ ma ŋwa wiciri kambu, susuba mo buuru araŋ ma kungu, zama Rabbi goono ga maa janca kaŋ araŋ goono ga te nga se. Iri binde, ifo iri? manti iri no araŋ goono ga jance bo, amma Rabbi no.»

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.

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

⁹ Musa ne Haruna se: «Ma ci Israyla jama kulu se ka ne: ‹Wa maan Rabbi jine, zama a maa araŋ janca.› »

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.

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.

¹⁰ A ciya mo, za Haruna go sanno ra Israyla izey se, i zagu saajo do haray. Kala Rabbi darza go, a bangay buro ra.

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.

¹¹Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

¹¹ Rabbi salaŋ Musa se ka ne:

¹¹And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

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.’”

¹² «Ay maa Israyla izey janca. Ma salaŋ i se ka ne: ‹Wiciri kambu araŋ ga ham ŋwa, susuba mo araŋ ga kungu nda buuru. Araŋ ga bay mo kaŋ ay no ga ti Rabbi araŋ Irikoyo.› »

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.

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

¹³ A ciya mo, wiciri kambo ra, kala darfandayaŋ tun ka borey gata daabu, susuba mo harandaŋ go i windanta.

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.

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.

¹⁴ A binde, saaya kaŋ harandaŋo din say, kala hay fo buuno-buuno fooyaŋ go saajo batama ra. A kaynayaŋ ga hima danga gari gudeyaŋ cine ganda.

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.

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.”

¹⁵ Saaya kaŋ Israyla izey di a, i ne care se: «Ifo no woone?» I mana bay haŋ kaŋ no. Musa mo ne i se: «}waaro kaŋ Rabbi n'araŋ no araŋ ma ŋwa no.

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.

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.”

¹⁶ Yaa no Rabbi lordi* ka ne: Boro kulu ma margu nga ŋwaaro hina me, boro kulu muudu fo. Araŋ fundikooney baayaŋ hina me cine no araŋ ga kumna, boro kulu borey kaŋ yaŋ go a kuuru fuwo ra se.»

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.

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

¹⁷ Yaadin mo no Israyla izey te. Boro fooyaŋ margu iboobo, boro fooyaŋ mo ikayna.

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

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.

¹⁸ Amma saaya kaŋ i n'a neesi nda muudu, boro kaŋ margu iboobo, a mana to ka daaru a se. Boro kaŋ margu ikayna mo, a mana gaze a se. Boro kulu margu nga ŋwaaro hina me.

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.

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

¹⁹ Musa ne i se: «Boro kulu ma s'a jisi kala suba susuba.»

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

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.

²⁰ Kulu nda yaadin i mana maa Musa sanno se, amma boro fooyaŋ n'a jisi kala susuba, kal a fumbu ka te nooni. Musa mo te i se bine.

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.

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

²¹ I soobay ka margu susubay kulu, boro kulu nga ŋwaaro hina me. Da wayna dungu mo, a ga manne.

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

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.

²² A ciya mo, zaari iddanta hane, i margu a lasaabuyaŋ hinka, ŋwaari wane, muudu hinka-hinka boro kulu se. Marga arkusey kulu kaa ka ci Musa se.

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.

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.’”

²³ A ne i se: «Woodin ga ti haŋ kaŋ Rabbi ci. Suba ya fulanzamay gaakurante no, asibti* hanante no Rabbi se. Wa haagu haŋ kaŋ araŋ ga haagu, wa hina haŋ kaŋ araŋ ga hina. Wo kaŋ cindi mo, i m'a jisi zama i m'a haggoy kala susuba.»

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.

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

²⁴ I binde n'a jisi kala susuba, danga mate kaŋ Musa lordi. A mana fumbu, nooni si no a ra mo.

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

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

²⁵ Musa ne: «Wa ŋwa woodin hunkuna, zama hunkuna wo asibti no Rabbi se. Hunkuna araŋ s'a gar saajo ra.

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.

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

²⁶ Jirbi iddu no araŋ g'a margu, amma jirbi iyyanta ya fulanzamay hane no, a ra i si hay kulu gar.»

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

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

²⁷ A ciya mo, zaari iyyanta hane borey ra afooyaŋ fatta zama ngey ma kumna, amma i man'a gar.

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

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

²⁸ Kala Rabbi ne Musa se: «Waatifo no araŋ ga yadda k'ay sanney d'ay asariyey haggoy?

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

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.”

²⁹ Wa guna, Rabbi n'araŋ no fulanzamay. A se no zaari iddanta hane a g'araŋ no jirbi hinka ŋwaari. Naŋ boro kulu ma goro nga nango ra. Boro kulu ma si fun nga nango ra zaari iyyanta hane.»

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.

³⁰So the people rested on the seventh day.

³⁰ Borey binde fulanzam zaari iyyanta hane.

³⁰So the people rested on the seventh day.

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.

³¹ Israyla binde n'a maa daŋ Manna*. A ga hima lamti masangu kwaaray yaŋ gaa, a tabayaŋ mo ga hima alkama hamni maasa margante nda yu.

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.

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.’”

³² Musa ne: «Yaa no Rabbi lordi: Kal i ma jisi zaari fo neesiji hal araŋ zamaney kulu me, zama i ma di ŋwaaro kaŋ ay n'araŋ ŋwaayandi nd'a ganjo ra, saaya kaŋ ay n'araŋ kaa Misira laabo ra.»

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.

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.”

³³ Musa ne Haruna se: «Ma sambu kusu fo ka muudu fo toonante Manna daŋ a ra k'a jisi Rabbi jine. Haggoyyaŋ hari no ka koy araŋ zamaney kulu me.»

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.

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

³⁴ Danga mate kaŋ cine Rabbi lordi Musa se, yaadin cine no Haruna mo n'a jisi seeda jine, haggoyyaŋ hari no.

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

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.

³⁵ Jiiri waytaaci binde no Israyla izey goono ga Manna ŋwa, kal i to laabu kaŋ ra borey go. I na Manna din ŋwa hal i to Kanaana laabo me.

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.

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

³⁶ Muudu fo no ga ti gumbutu jare wayante.

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