Exodus 16
1 They/We left Elim, and all the Israeli people came to the desert [named] Sin. That is between Elim and Sinai [Mountain]. That was on the fifteenth day of the second month after they/we left Egypt.
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.
2 There in the desert, the Israeli [HYP] people complained to Aaron and Moses/me.
Na ka amuamu te huihui katoa o nga tama a Iharaira ki a Mohi raua ko Arona i te koraha:
3 They said to them/us, “We wish that Yahweh had killed us in Egypt! There we had meat to eat, and all the bread that we wanted. But you have brought us into this desert in order that we will all starve to death!”
A 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.
4 Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Listen to what I am going [to do]. I am going to send something from the sky that will [take the place of] bread for all of you. When I do that, the people must go out of their tents every day and gather just enough to eat on that day. [When I do that], I will find out whether they will obey my instructions or not.
Na 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.
5 On the sixth day [after I start doing that], they will be able to gather twice as much as on the other days, [and not have to gather any on the seventh day]. Then they can prepare it [to eat it on the 6th and 7th days].”
A, 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.
6 So Aaron and Moses/I said to all the Israeli people, “This evening you will know that it was Yahweh, [not we], who brought you out of Egypt.
Na 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;
7 And tomorrow morning you will see how great Yahweh is, because he has heard what you have complained about. He is the one whom you have really complained to, because we are just his servants.” [RHQ]
A 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?
8 Then Moses/I also said, “[From now on, each] evening Yahweh will give you meat to eat, and [each] morning he will give you [something that will take the place of] bread, because he has heard what you have complained about. Yahweh is the one to whom you have really complained, not us. We are just his servants.” [RHQ]
I 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.
9 Then Moses/I said to Aaron, “Tell all the Israeli people, ‘Come and stand here in the presence of Yahweh, because he has heard what you have been complaining about.’”
Na 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.
10 So Aaron told them that. And as Aaron was talking to all the Israeli people, they looked toward the desert, and were surprised to see the (dazzling light/incredible brightness) of Yahweh in the cloud [that had been leading them].
A, 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.
11 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Na ka korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi, ka mea,
12 “I have heard what the Israeli people have been complaining about. So say to them, ‘From now on, each evening, you will have meat to eat. And each morning you will have something that will take the place of bread. You will have all you want of it to eat.’ Then you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
Kua 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.
13 That evening, (quails/small plump birds) appeared, and [there were so many that] they covered the campsite. The next morning there was [something like] dew all around the campsite.
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.
14 When the dew evaporated, on the surface of the desert there was a thick layer of something that looked like white flakes. It looked like frost.
A 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.
15 When the Israeli people saw it, since they [had never seen it before and] did not know what it was, they said to each other, “What is it?” Moses/I replied to them, “It is something Yahweh has given you to eat, to take the place of bread.
A, 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.
16 This is what Yahweh has commanded: ‘Each of you should gather as much as you need to eat. Gather two quarts/liters for each person who lives in your tents.’”
Ko 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.
17 So that is what the Israeli people did. Some gathered more and some gathered less.
A pera ana nga tama a Iharaira, na kohikohia ana, ta tetahi he nui, ta tetahi he iti.
18 But when they measured [what they had gathered], those that had gathered a lot did not have anything left over. And those that gathered less still had enough to eat. Each person gathered just what they needed.
A 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.
19 Moses/I said to them, “Do not leave any of it to eat tomorrow morning!”
Na ka mea a Mohi ki a ratou, Kaua e whakatoea tetahi wahi o tena ki te ata.
20 But some of them did not pay any attention to what Moses/I said. They kept some of it until the next morning. But it was full of maggots and smelled rotten. And that made Moses/me angry.
Engari 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.
21 Each morning they gathered as much as they needed. But [later], when the sun got hot, [what was left on the ground] melted.
A 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.
22 On the sixth day after they started gathering it, each person was able to gather four quarts/liters, which was twice [as much as they gathered on the other days]. When the leaders of the people came to Moses/me and told him/me [about that],
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.
23 Moses/I said to them, “This is what Yahweh has commanded: ‘Tomorrow will be a day for you to rest completely. It will be a day dedicated to Yahweh. So today, bake or boil what you will [need for today and for tomorrow]. Whatever is left [this evening], you should put aside and keep it [to eat] tomorrow.’”
Na 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.
24 So they did what Moses/I commanded. What was left over, they kept until the next day. It did not spoil and did not get maggots in it!
A 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.
25 [On that day], Moses/I said, “Eat today [what you have saved from yesterday], because today is a day dedicated to Yahweh. Today you will not find any of that food outside.
Na 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.
26 [Every week], you must gather it for six days; but on the seventh day, which will be a day of rest, you will not find any.”
E ono nga ra e kohikohi ai koutou i tena mea; a i te whitu o nga ra ko te hapati, ko reira kore ai.
27 On the seventh day, some of the people went outside their tents to gather some of that food, but there was none.
A i te whitu o nga ra ka haere atu etahi o te iwi ki te kohikohi, a kihai i kitea.
28 Then Yahweh [told Moses/me to say this to] the people: “How long will you people refuse to do all the things that I tell you?
Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Kia pehea te roa o koutou e kore nei e pupuri i aku whakahau, i aku ture?
29 Listen! Yahweh has given you a day of rest. So on the sixth day [of each week], he will be giving you enough of this food for two days. Each of you should stay in his tent [and do no work] on the seventh day!”
Titiro, 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.
30 So the people rested on the seventh day.
Na ka noho te iwi i te ra whitu.
31 The Israeli people called this food manna, [which sounds like the words in their language that mean ‘what is it]?’ It looked like small seeds [called] coriander, but it was white, and it tasted like thin wafers/biscuits made with honey.
A 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.
32 Moses/I said, “This is what Yahweh has commanded: ‘You must keep two quarts/liters of it for all future generations, so that they can see the [food that took the place of] bread that I gave to your [ancestors] when I brought them out of Egypt.’”
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.
33 And he/I said to Aaron, “Take a jar, and put two quarts of manna in it. Then put it [in a place] where Yahweh can see it. It is to be kept like that for all future generations.”
A 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.
34 [Many years later], as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me, Aaron put the jar in front of the box [that contained the stone slabs on which] the Ten Commandments [were written].
A 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.
35 The Israeli people were able to eat manna [every day] for 40 years, until they came to the border of Canaan land.
A 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.
36 (The standard measure [that they used at that time] held 20 quarts/liters.)
Na, ko te moere, ko te wahi whakatekau o te epa.
