< 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.
Alò, yo te kite Élim, e tout asanble fis Israël yo te vini nan dezè Sin, ki te antre Élim ak Sinai an. Sa te fèt nan kenzyèm jou dezyèm mwa apre depa yo nan peyi Égypte la.
2 And there in the desert they all grumbled against Moses and Aaron.
Konsa, tout asanble fis Israël yo te plenyen kont Moïse avèk Aaron 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!”
Fis Israël yo te di yo: “Pito ke nou te mouri pa men SENYÈ a nan peyi Égypte la pandan nou t ap chita akote chodyè vyann yo, pandan nou t ap manje pen jis nou vin plen. Men ou mennen nou deyò nan dezè sila a pou touye tout asanble a avèk 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.
Alò, SENYÈ a te di Moïse: “Gade byen, Mwen va vide pen sòti nan syèl la tankou lapli pou nou. Epi pèp la va sòti chak jou pou ranmase sa ki kont pou jounen an, pou Mwen kapab fè yo pase a leprèv; pou M wè si yo va mache nan enstriksyon Mwen yo.
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.”
Nan sizyèm jou a, lè yo prepare sa ke yo fè antre, li va doub sa ke yo konn pran pa jou yo.”
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,
Alò, Moïse avèk Aaron te di a tout fis Israël yo: “Nan aswè nou va rekonèt ke SENYÈ a te mennen nou sòti nan peyi Égypte la.
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?”
Nan maten a nou va wè glwa SENYÈ a, paske Li tande plent nou yo kont SENYÈ a. Epi kisa nou ye pou nou ta plenyen kont nou?”
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.”
Moïse te di: “Sa va vin rive lè SENYÈ a bannou vyann pou nou manje nan aswè, ak pen jiskaske nou vin satisfè nan maten. Paske SENYÈ a tande plent ke nou fè kont Li. Epi kisa nou ye? Plent nou yo pa kont nou, men kont SENYÈ a.”
9 Then Moses said to Aaron, “Tell the whole congregation of Israel, ‘Come before the LORD, for He has heard your grumbling.’”
Alò Moïse te di a Aaron: “Pale a tout asanble fis Israël yo, ‘Rapwoche nou devan SENYÈ a, paske Li tande plent nou yo.’”
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.
Li te vin rive ke pandan Aaron t ap pale a tout asanble a fis Israël yo, ke yo te gade vè dezè a, e vwala, glwa SENYÈ a te parèt nan nwaj la.
11 Then the LORD said to Moses,
Konsa, SENYÈ a te pale a Moïse e te di:
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 plent a fis Israël yo. Pale ak yo pou di: ‘Nan aswè avan li fènwa, nou va manje vyann, e nan maten, nou va vin plen avèk pen. Konsa, nou va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.’”
13 That evening quail came and covered the camp, and in the morning there was a layer of dew around the camp.
Alò, li vin rive nan aswè ke zwazo kay yo te monte. Yo te kouvri tout kan an. Nan maten an te gen yon kouch lawouze ki te antoure kan an.
14 When the layer of dew had evaporated, there were thin flakes on the desert floor, as fine as frost on the ground.
Lè kouch lawouze a te disparèt, gade, sou sifas dezè a, te gen yon bagay ki te sanble yon ti kal byen fen, ki sanble frechè lawouze sou tè 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 fis Israël yo te wè li, yo te di a youn lòt: “Kisa sa ye?” Paske yo pa t konnen kisa sa li te ye. Epi Moïse te di yo: “Sa se pen ke SENYÈ a bannou 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 sa ke SENYÈ a kòmande: ‘Chak moun ranmase ladann selon sa ke li va manje. Nou va pran yon omè pou chak, selon kantite moun chak nan nou genyen nan tant li.’”
17 So the Israelites did this. Some gathered more, and some less.
Fis Israël yo te fè sa, kèk te pran plis, e kèk te pran mwens.
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.
Lè yo te mezire li avèk yon omè, sa ki te pran anpil yo pa t gen twòp, ni sa ki te pran piti yo pa t manke. Chak moun te ranmase sa ke li te dwe manje.
19 Then Moses said to them, “No one may keep any of it until morning.”
Moïse te di yo: “Pa kite pèsòn konsève anyen ladann pou rive demen.”
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 yo pa t koute Moïse. Kèk nan yo te kite yon pati pou maten. Konsa, li te kale vè, e te vin rans. Moïse te fache avèk yo.
21 Every morning each one gathered as much as was needed, and when the sun grew hot, it melted away.
Yo te ranmase li chak jou, chak moun selon sa li ta dwe manje. Men lè solèy la te vin cho, li te vin fann.
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.
Alò nan sizyèm jou a, yo te pran doub fòs pen, de omè pou chak moun. Tout dirijan asanble yo te fè rapò sa a Moïse.
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.’”
Alo, konsa li te reponn yo: “Men sa ke SENYÈ a vle: ‘Demen se yon jou Saba, yon Saba sen a SENYÈ a. Kwit sa ke nou va kwit, bouyi sa ke nou va bouyi, e tout sa ki rete, mete l akote pou konsève jis rive nan maten.’”
24 So they set it aside until morning as Moses had commanded, and it did not smell or contain any maggots.
Alò, yo te mete li akote jis rive nan maten, jan Moïse te kòmande a, e li pa t vin kanni, ni li pa t gen okenn vè ladann.
25 “Eat it today,” Moses said, “because today is a Sabbath to the LORD. Today you will not find anything in the field.
Moïse te di: “Manje li jodi a, paske jodi a se yon Saba a SENYÈ a. Jodi a nou p ap twouve li nan chan an.
26 For six days you may gather, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, it will not be there.”
Sis jou nou va pran li, men nan setyèm jou a, jou Saba a, p ap genyen okenn.”
27 Yet on the seventh day some of the people went out to gather, but they did not find anything.
Li te rive nan setyèm jou a, ke kèk nan moun yo te ale pran, men yo pa t twouve menm.
28 Then the LORD said to Moses, “How long will you refuse to keep My commandments and instructions?
Alò, SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Pou konbyen de tan nou va refize kenbe kòmandman Mwen yo, ak enstriksyon 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.”
Gade, SENYÈ a te bannou Saba a. Pou sa, Li bannou pen pou de jou nan sizyèm jou a. Kite chak moun rete nan plas li. Pa kite pèsòn sòti nan plas li nan setyèm jou a.”
30 So the people rested on the seventh day.
Pou sa, pèp Israël la te poze nan setyèm jou a.
31 Now the house of Israel called the bread manna. It was white like coriander seed and tasted like wafers made with honey.
Lakay Israël te nonmen li lamàn. Li te tankou grenn koryandè, blan avèk yon gou tankou gato avèk 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.’”
Alò, Moïse te di: “Men Sa ke SENYÈ a te kòmande, ‘Kite yon omè ladann pami tout jenerasyon yo pou yo kapab wè pen ke Mwen te bannou nan dezè a, lè Mwen te mennen nou sòti nan peyi Égypte 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.”
Moïse te di a Aaron: “Pran yon bokal, mete yon omè plen lamàn ladann, epi plase li devan SENYÈ a pou kenbe li pandan tout jenerasyon nou yo.”
34 And Aaron placed it in front of the Testimony, to be preserved just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
Jan SENYÈ a te kòmande Moïse la, konsa Aaron te plase li devan temwen an, pou l konsève.
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.
Fis Israël yo te manje lamàn pandan karant ane, jis lè yo te rive nan yon peyi ki te peple deja. Yo te manje lamàn jis yo rive nan fwontyè peyi Canaan an.
36 (Now an omer is a tenth of an ephah.)
Alò, yon Omè se yon dizyèm pati a yon efa.
