Ang Pagkaon nga Manna kag ang mga Pitaw

16 Halin sa Elim, nagpadayon sa pagpanglakaton ang bug-os nga katilingban sang Israel hasta nga nakaabot sila sa kamingawan sang Sin, nga ara sa tunga-tunga sang Elim kag Sinai. Nakaabot sila didto sang ika-15 nga adlaw sang ikaduha nga bulan halin sang pagguwa nila sa Egipto. Didto sa kamingawan nagreklamo ang bug-os nga katilingban kay Moises kag kay Aaron. Nagsiling sila, “Maayo pa nga ginpamatay na lang kami sang Ginoo sa Egipto. Didto bisan paano makakaon kami sang karne kag makapagusto sang bisan ano nga pagkaon. Pero karon gindala ninyo kami diri sa kamingawan agod pagutuman hasta magkalamatay kami.”

Dayon nagsiling ang Ginoo kay Moises, “Pamati! Paulanon ko sang tinapay halin sa langit para sa inyo. Kada adlaw magpanguha ang mga Israelinhon sang tinapay para sa sina lang nga adlaw. Sa sini nga paagi testingan ko sila kon bala tumanon nila ukon indi ang akon mga sugo. Silinga sila nga doblehon nila ang pagtipon sang tinapay sa ikaanom nga adlaw sang kada semana.”

Gani nagsiling si Moises kag si Aaron sa tanan nga Israelinhon, “Karon sa gab-i, mareyalisar ninyo nga ang Ginoo amo ang nagpaguwa sa inyo sa Egipto, kag sa aga makita ninyo ang gamhanan nga presensya sang Ginoo. Kay nabatian niya ang inyo mga reklamo. Sin-o gid bala kami nga magreklamo kamo sa amon? Ang matuod, ang Ginoo ang inyo ginareklamuhan.”

Nagsiling pa gid si Moises, “Hatagan kamo sang Ginoo sang karne nga inyo kaunon kon gab-i kag tinapay nga makapagusto kamo kaon kon aga, kay nabatian niya ang inyo mga reklamo sa iya. Mareyalisar ninyo dayon nga wala kamo nagareklamo sa amon kundi sa Ginoo. Sin-o gid bala kami nga magreklamo kamo sa amon?”

Nagsiling dayon si Moises kay Aaron, “Silinga ang bug-os nga katilingban sang Israel nga magpalapit sila sa presensya sang Ginoo kay nabatian niya ang ila mga reklamo.”

10 Samtang nagahambal si Aaron sa bug-os nga katilingban, nagtulok sila sa kamingawan kag sa hinali lang nakita nila ang gamhanan nga presensya sang Ginoo sa panganod. 11 Nagsiling ang Ginoo kay Moises, 12 “Nabatian ko ang mga reklamo sang mga Israelinhon. Silinga sila nga kada gab-i makakaon sila sang karne kag kada aga makapagusto sila sang tinapay. Dayon mahibaluan ninyo nga ako amo ang Ginoo nga inyo Dios.”

13 Sang magsirom na, nag-abot ang madamo gid nga mga pitaw nga halos nagtabon sa ila kampo. Pagkaaga, ang duta sa ila kampo basa sang tun-og. 14 Sang nagmala na ang tun-og, may nakita sila didto sa kamingawan nga manipis nga mga butang nga puwerte kaputi. 15 Wala sila kahibalo kon ano ato, gani nagpinamangkutanay sila, “Ano ayhan ina?” Nagsiling si Moises sa ila, “Amo ina ang tinapay nga ginhatag sang Ginoo sa inyo para inyo kaunon. 16 Nagsiling ang Ginoo nga ang kada isa sa inyo magtipon sini suno sa iya kinahanglanon: isa ka gantang kada tawo.”

17 Gani nagpanguha ang mga Israelinhon sang sini nga pagkaon; ang iban madamo ang natipon kag ang iban diutay lang. 18 Pero sang ginsukob nila ini, ang kada isa may isa ka gantang. Ang nagtipon sang madamo wala nagsobra, kag ang nagtipon sang diutay wala man makulangi. Tama-tama lang ang nakuha sang kada isa.

19 Nagsiling si Moises sa ila, “Wala sing may magtigana sini para sa sunod nga adlaw.” 20 Pero ang iban sa ila wala nagpati kay Moises, nagtigana sila para sa sunod nga adlaw. Pero nauluran ini kag nanimaho. Gani naakig si Moises sa ila.

21 Kada aga nagapanguha ang kada isa suno sa iya kinahanglanon. Kag kon mag-init na gani, nagakatunaw ang pagkaon nga wala nila makuha. 22 Sa ikaanom nga adlaw, ginadoble nila pagpanguha—mga duha ka gantang kada tawo. Gani nagkadto ang mga pangulo sang katilingban sang Israel kay Moises kag nagpamangkot kon ngaa ginadoble. 23 Nagsiling si Moises sa ila, “Nagsugo ang Ginoo nga magpahuway kamo buwas kay Adlaw nga Inugpahuway,[a] isa ka balaan nga adlaw para sa Ginoo. Gani lutua ninyo ang gusto ninyo nga lutuon, kag lagaa ang gusto ninyo nga lagaon. Ang mabilin itigana ninyo para sa buwas.” 24 Gani gintigana nila ang nabilin para sa masunod nga adlaw suno sa ginsugo sa ila ni Moises. Kag pagkasunod nga adlaw wala ini nauluran ukon nanimaho.

25 Nagsiling si Moises sa ila, “Kauna ninyo ina subong, kay Adlaw nga Inugpahuway subong para sa Ginoo. Wala kamo sing may makita sina sa duta subong nga adlaw. 26 Makapanguha kamo sang sini nga pagkaon sa sulod sang anom ka adlaw, pero sa ikapito nga adlaw magpahuway kamo. Sa sina nga adlaw wala kamo sing may makuha nga pagkaon.”

27 Pero may ara gihapon nga nagginuwa sa ikapito nga adlaw agod manguha sang sadto nga pagkaon, pero wala sila sing may nakita. 28 Dayon nagsiling ang Ginoo kay Moises, “Hasta san-o pa bala ini nga katawhan magsupak sa akon mga sugo kag mga pagpanudlo? 29 Dumdumon ninyo nga ginhatagan ko kamo sang Adlaw nga Inugpahuway, amo ina nga kada ikaanom nga adlaw ginadoble ko ang inyo pagkaon para sa duha ka adlaw. Dapat ang kada isa magpabilin sa iya balay sa ikapito nga adlaw. Wala sing may magguwa sa pagpanguha sang pagkaon.” 30 Gani nagpahuway ang mga tawo sa ikapito nga adlaw.

31 Gintawag sang mga Israelinhon ang pagkaon nga manna. Daw sa mga liso ini nga magagmay kag maputi, kag matam-is pareho sa manipis nga tinapay nga may dugos. 32 Nagsiling si Moises sa ila, “Amo ini ang sugo sang Ginoo: ‘Magtago kamo sang isa ka gantang nga manna para sa palaabuton nga mga henerasyon, agod makita nila ang pagkaon nga ginhatag ko sa inyo sa kamingawan sang ginpaguwa ko kamo sa Egipto.’ ”

33 Nagsiling si Moises kay Aaron, “Magkuha ka sang tibod kag sudli ini sang isa ka gantang nga manna. Dayon ibutang ini sa presensya sang Ginoo para sa palaabuton nga mga henerasyon.” 34 Gintuman ini ni Aaron suno sa ginsugo sang Ginoo kay Moises. Ginbutang ni Aaron ang manna sa Kahon sang Kasuguan[b] agod matago ini. 35 Nagkaon ang mga Israelinhon sang manna sa sulod sang 40 ka tuig, hasta nakaabot sila sa duta nga ila estaran nga amo ang Canaan. 36 (Kada adlaw nagtipon ang kada isa sa ila sang isa ka omer nga manna, nga bali isa ka gantang.)

Manna and Quail

16 The whole Israelite community set out from Elim and came to the Desert of Sin,(A) which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after they had come out of Egypt.(B) In the desert the whole community grumbled(C) against Moses and Aaron. The Israelites said to them, “If only we had died by the Lord’s hand in Egypt!(D) There we sat around pots of meat and ate all the food(E) we wanted, but you have brought us out into this desert to starve this entire assembly to death.”(F)

Then the Lord said to Moses, “I will rain down bread from heaven(G) for you. The people are to go out each day and gather enough for that day. In this way I will test(H) them and see whether they will follow my instructions. On the sixth day they are to prepare what they bring in, and that is to be twice(I) as much as they gather on the other days.”

So Moses and Aaron said to all the Israelites, “In the evening you will know that it was the Lord who brought you out of Egypt,(J) and in the morning you will see the glory(K) of the Lord, because he has heard your grumbling(L) against him. Who are we, that you should grumble against us?”(M) Moses also said, “You will know that it was the Lord when he gives you meat to eat in the evening and all the bread you want in the morning, because he has heard your grumbling(N) against him. Who are we? You are not grumbling against us, but against the Lord.”(O)

Then Moses told Aaron, “Say to the entire Israelite community, ‘Come before the Lord, for he has heard your grumbling.’”

10 While Aaron was speaking to the whole Israelite community, they looked toward the desert, and there was the glory(P) of the Lord appearing in the cloud.(Q)

11 The Lord said to Moses, 12 “I have heard the grumbling(R) of the Israelites. Tell them, ‘At twilight you will eat meat, and in the morning you will be filled with bread. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God.’”(S)

13 That evening quail(T) came and covered the camp, and in the morning there was a layer of dew(U) around the camp. 14 When the dew was gone, thin flakes like frost(V) on the ground appeared on the desert floor. 15 When the Israelites saw it, they said to each other, “What is it?” For they did not know(W) what it was.

Moses said to them, “It is the bread(X) the Lord has given you to eat. 16 This is what the Lord has commanded: ‘Everyone is to gather as much as they need. Take an omer[a](Y) for each person you have in your tent.’”

17 The Israelites did as they were told; some gathered much, some little. 18 And when they measured it by the omer, the one who gathered much did not have too much, and the one who gathered little did not have too little.(Z) Everyone had gathered just as much as they needed.

19 Then Moses said to them, “No one is to keep any of it until morning.”(AA)

20 However, some of them paid no attention to Moses; they kept part of it until morning, but it was full of maggots and began to smell.(AB) So Moses was angry(AC) with them.

21 Each morning everyone gathered as much as they needed, and when the sun grew hot, it melted away. 22 On the sixth day, they gathered twice(AD) as much—two omers[b] for each person—and the leaders of the community(AE) came and reported this to Moses. 23 He said to them, “This is what the Lord commanded: ‘Tomorrow is to be a day of sabbath rest, a holy sabbath(AF) to the Lord. So bake what you want to bake and boil what you want to boil. Save whatever is left and keep it until morning.’”

24 So they saved it until morning, as Moses commanded, and it did not stink or get maggots in it. 25 “Eat it today,” Moses said, “because today is a sabbath to the Lord. You will not find any of it on the ground today. 26 Six days you are to gather it, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath,(AG) there will not be any.”

27 Nevertheless, some of the people went out on the seventh day to gather it, but they found none. 28 Then the Lord said to Moses, “How long will you[c] refuse to keep my commands(AH) and my instructions? 29 Bear in mind that the Lord has given you the Sabbath; that is why on the sixth day he gives you bread for two days. Everyone is to stay where they are on the seventh day; no one is to go out.” 30 So the people rested on the seventh day.

31 The people of Israel called the bread manna.[d](AI) It was white like coriander seed and tasted like wafers made with honey. 32 Moses said, “This is what the Lord has commanded: ‘Take an omer of manna and keep it for the generations to come, so they can see the bread I gave you to eat in the wilderness when I brought you out of Egypt.’”

33 So Moses said to Aaron, “Take a jar and put an omer of manna(AJ) in it. Then place it before the Lord to be kept for the generations to come.”

34 As the Lord commanded Moses, Aaron put the manna with the tablets of the covenant law,(AK) so that it might be preserved. 35 The Israelites ate manna(AL) forty years,(AM) until they came to a land that was settled; they ate manna until they reached the border of Canaan.(AN)

36 (An omer(AO) is one-tenth of an ephah.)(AP)

16 And 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.

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

And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.

Then said the Lord unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no.

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

And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At even, then ye shall know that the Lord hath brought you out from the land of Egypt:

And in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of the Lord; for that he heareth your murmurings against the Lord: and what are we, that ye murmur against us?

And Moses said, This shall be, when the Lord shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the Lord heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against the Lord.

And Moses spake unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before the Lord: for he hath heard your murmurings.

10 And 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 the Lord appeared in the cloud.

11 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

12 I 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 the Lord your God.

13 And it came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the host.

14 And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the ground.

15 And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the Lord hath given you to eat.

16 This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer for every man, according to the number of your persons; take ye every man for them which are in his tents.

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

18 And when they did mete 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.

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

20 Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank: and Moses was wroth with them.

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

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

23 And he said unto them, This is that which the Lord hath said, To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the Lord: bake that which ye will bake to day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.

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

25 And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbath unto the Lord: to day ye shall not find it in the field.

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

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

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

29 See, for that the Lord 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.

30 So the people rested on the seventh day.

31 And 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.

32 And Moses said, This is the thing which the Lord commandeth, Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they may see the bread wherewith I have fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.

33 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna therein, and lay it up before the Lord, to be kept for your generations.

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

35 And the children of Israel did eat manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited; they did eat manna, until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan.

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