Exodus 16
1 On the fifteenth day of the second month after they had left the land of Egypt, the whole congregation of Israel set out from Elim and came to the Desert of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai.
Apre sa, tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo pati kite Elim, yo rive nan dezè yo rele Sin lan, ant Elim ak mòn Sinayi. Lè yo rive la, yo te gen yon mwa kenz jou depi yo te pati kite Lejip.
2 And there in the desert they all grumbled against Moses and Aaron.
Yo tout pran bougonnen sou do Moyiz ak Arawon nan dezè a.
3 “If only we had died by the LORD’s hand in the land of Egypt!” they said. “There we sat by pots of meat and ate our fill of bread, but you have brought us into this desert to starve this whole assembly to death!”
Yo t'ap di yo: -Poukisa Seyè a pa t' tou touye nou nan peyi Lejip la? Lè sa a, nou te konn chita devan bòl vyann nou, nou te konn manje pen plen vant nou. Men, ou menm ak Arawon, nou mennen nou nan dezè sa a pou fè tout kantite moun sa yo mouri grangou.
4 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I will rain down bread from heaven for you. Each day the people are to go out and gather enough for that day. In this way I will test whether or not they will follow My instructions.
Seyè a di Moyiz konsa: -Mwen pral fè pen tonbe soti nan syèl la pou nou tankou grenn lapli. Pèp la va soti chak jou pou l' ranmase mezi li bezwen pou jounen an. Konsa, m'a gade pou m' wè si wi ou non yo vle mache sou lòd mwen vre.
5 Then on the sixth day, when they prepare what they bring in, it will be twice as much as they gather on the other days.”
Chak sizyèm jou nan senmenn lan, y'a ranmase de fwa lavalè sa yo konn ranmase lòt jou yo, y'a pare mete la.
6 So Moses and Aaron said to all the Israelites, “This evening you will know that it was the LORD who brought you out of the land of Egypt,
Moyiz ak Arawon di tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo: -Aswè a n'a konnen se Seyè a ki te fè nou pati kite peyi Lejip.
7 and in the morning you will see the LORD’s glory, because He has heard your grumbling against Him. For who are we that you should grumble against us?”
Denmen maten, n'a wè ki kalite pouvwa Seyè a genyen. Li tande jan n'ap bougonnen sou do li. Paske mwen menm ak Arawon, kisa nou ye pou se sou nou n'ap bougonnen konsa? Se sou Bondye n'ap bougonnen.
8 And Moses added, “The LORD will give you meat to eat this evening and bread to fill you in the morning, for He has heard your grumbling against Him. Who are we? Your grumblings are not against us but against the LORD.”
Apre sa, Moyiz di yo: -Se Seyè a k'ap ban nou vyann pou nou manje chak swa. Se li k'ap ban nou kantite pen nou bezwen chak maten, paske Seyè a tande tout bougonnen n'ap bougonnen sou li a. Nou menm, kisa nou ye? Se pa sou nou n'ap bougonnen, men se sou Seyè a n'ap bougonnen.
9 Then Moses said to Aaron, “Tell the whole congregation of Israel, ‘Come before the LORD, for He has heard your grumbling.’”
Lè sa a Moyiz di Arawon: -Men sa pou ou di tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo: Pwoche vin devan Seyè a paske li tande jan n'ap plenyen an.
10 And as Aaron was speaking to the whole congregation of Israel, they looked toward the desert, and there in a cloud the glory of the LORD appeared.
Pandan Arawon t'ap pale ak tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo, yo vire tèt yo bò dezè a, yo wè pouvwa Bondye a parèt nan nwaj la.
11 Then the LORD said to Moses,
Seyè a di Moyiz:
12 “I have heard the grumbling 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.’”
-Mwen tande jan moun pèp Izrayèl yo ap plenyen. Men sa pou ou di yo: Aswè a, anvan li fin fè nwa, n'a gen vyann pou nou manje. Denmen maten, n'a gen pen kantite nou bezwen. Lè sa a, n'a konnen se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki Bondye nou.
13 That evening quail came and covered the camp, and in the morning there was a layer of dew around the camp.
Nan aswè, zòtolan vini, yo kouvri tout kote yo te moute tant yo a. Nan maten, te gen yon kouch lawouze toutalantou kote pèp la te moute tant yo a.
14 When the layer of dew had evaporated, there were thin flakes on the desert floor, as fine as frost on the ground.
Lè lawouze a disparèt, li kite yon kwout tou blan atè nan dezè a. Kwout la te fen, li te plen ti grenn tankou sèl, li te kouvri tout atè a.
15 When the Israelites saw it, they asked one another, “What is it?” For they did not know what it was. So Moses told them, “It is the bread that the LORD has given you to eat.
Lè moun pèp Izrayèl yo wè sa, yo pa t' konn sa l' te ye. Yonn t'ap di lòt: -Sa sa ye sa? Moyiz di yo: -Sa a, se pen Seyè a ban nou pou nou manje.
16 This is what the LORD has commanded: ‘Each one is to gather as much as he needs. You may take an omer for each person in your tent.’”
Men lòd Seyè a ban nou: Se pou chak moun ranmase mezi yo bezwen pou kantite moun ki lakay yo. N'a ranmase twa ti mamit edmi pou chak moun.
17 So the Israelites did this. Some gathered more, and some less.
Moun pèp Izrayèl yo fè sa Moyiz te di yo fè a. Gen moun ki te ranmase plis, gen lòt ki te ranmase pi piti.
18 When they measured it by the omer, he who gathered much had no excess, and he who gathered little had no shortfall. Each one gathered as much as he needed to eat.
Men, lè yo mezire, sa ki te ranmase plis yo pa t' gen twòp, sa ki te ranmase pi piti yo pa t' manke anyen. Konsa, chak moun te ranmase mezi yo te bezwen pou yo manje.
19 Then Moses said to them, “No one may keep any of it until morning.”
Moyiz di yo: -Piga pesonn sere anyen pou denmen.
20 But they did not listen to Moses; some people left part of it until morning, and it became infested with maggots and began to smell. So Moses was angry with them.
Men gen moun ki pa t' koute Moyiz. Yo sere ti gout pou denmen maten. Nan denmen yo jwenn li plen vè, li te gate. Moyiz te fache sou moun sa yo.
21 Every morning each one gathered as much as was needed, and when the sun grew hot, it melted away.
Chak maten yo ranmase mezi yo te bezwen pou yo manje. Men, kou solèy la konmanse cho, bagay la te fonn.
22 On the sixth day, they gathered twice as much food—two omers per person —and all the leaders of the congregation came and reported this to Moses.
Sizyèm jou nan senmenn lan, yo te ranmase de fwa lavalè sa yo te konn ranmase chak jou a. Yo te ranmase sèt ti mamit pou chak moun. Tout chèf fanmi ki te alatèt pèp la vin di Moyiz sa.
23 He told them, “This is what the LORD has said: ‘Tomorrow is to be a day of complete rest, a holy Sabbath to the LORD. So bake what you want to bake, and boil what you want to boil. Then set aside whatever remains and keep it until morning.’”
Moyiz reponn yo: -Men lòd Seyè a te bay: Denmen se jou repo, se jou repo ki apa pou Seyè a. Kwit sa nou gen pou nou kwit. Bouyi sa nou gen pou nou bouyi. N'a sere rès la pou denmen.
24 So they set it aside until morning as Moses had commanded, and it did not smell or contain any maggots.
Jan Moyiz te ba yo lòd la, yo sere rès la pou denmen. Li pa t' gate, vè pa t' tonbe ladan l'.
25 “Eat it today,” Moses said, “because today is a Sabbath to the LORD. Today you will not find anything in the field.
Moyiz di yo: -Nou mèt manje rès la jòdi a, paske jòdi a se jou repo yo mete apa pou Seyè a. Jòdi a nou p'ap jwenn anyen deyò a.
26 For six days you may gather, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, it will not be there.”
Pandan sis premye jou senmenn lan n'a jwenn pou n' ranmase. Men setyèm jou a, jou repo a, nou p'ap jwenn anyen pou nou ranmase.
27 Yet on the seventh day some of the people went out to gather, but they did not find anything.
Setyèm jou a, gen kek moun nan pèp la ki te soti al ranmase manje, men yo pa jwenn anyen.
28 Then the LORD said to Moses, “How long will you refuse to keep My commandments and instructions?
Lè sa a, Seyè a di Moyiz: -Kilè n'a sispann dezobeyi lòd ak kòmandman mwen yo?
29 Understand that the LORD has given you the Sabbath; that is why on the sixth day He will give you bread for two days. On the seventh day, everyone must stay where he is; no one may leave his place.”
Konprann sa byen, se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki te ban nou jou repo sa a. Se poutèt sa, sou sizyèm jou nan senmenn lan, mwen ban nou manje valè pou de jou. Nan setyèm jou senmenn lan, se pou tout moun rete kote yo ye a. Piga pesonn mete tèt deyò.
30 So the people rested on the seventh day.
Se konsa, lè setyèm jou a rive, pèp la pa fè ankenn travay.
31 Now the house of Israel called the bread manna. It was white like coriander seed and tasted like wafers made with honey.
Pèp Izrayèl la rele manje a laman. Li te gen fòm grenn pitimi. Li te tou blan, li te gen menm gou ak gato ki fèt ak siwo myèl.
32 Moses said, “This is what the LORD has commanded: ‘Keep an omer of manna for the generations to come, so that they may see the bread I fed you in the wilderness when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.’”
Moyiz di yo: -Men lòd Seyè a ban nou. Se pou nou sere twa ti mamit edmi plen laman pou pitit pitit nou yo. Konsa y'a wè ki kalite manje mwen te konn ban nou nan dezè a, lè mwen te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip la.
33 So Moses told Aaron, “Take a jar and fill it with an omer of manna. Then place it before the LORD to be preserved for the generations to come.”
Apre sa Moyiz di Arawon: -Pran yon ti ja, mete twa ti mamit edmi laman ladan l'. Mete l' devan Seyè a pou l' ka rete pou pitit pitit nou yo.
34 And Aaron placed it in front of the Testimony, to be preserved just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
Arawon fè sa Seyè a te bay Moyiz lòd fè a. Li mete ti ja a devan Bwat Kontra a, li sere l' la.
35 The Israelites ate manna forty years, until they came to a land where they could settle; they ate manna until they reached the border of Canaan.
Moun pèp Izrayèl yo pase karantan ap manje laman, jouk jou yo rive nan yon peyi kote yo jwenn moun rete. Kifè yo manje laman jouk yo rive sou fwontyè peyi Kanaran.
36 (Now an omer is a tenth of an ephah.)
Twa ti mamit edmi, se valè twaka yon gwo mamit. Trannsenk ti mamit fè yon gwo bidon.
