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.
Ary tamin’ ny andro fahadimy ambin’ ny folo tamin’ ny volana faharoa taorian’ ny nialany tany amin’ ny tany Egypta dia nifindra niala tao Elima ny fiangonana, dia ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra, ka nankany amin’ ny efitra Sina, izay eo anelanelan’ i Elima sy Sinay.
2 And there in the desert they all grumbled against Moses and Aaron.
Dia nimonomonona tamin’ i Mosesy sy Arona tany an-efitra ny fiangonana, dia ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra,
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!”
ka nanao taminy hoe: Inay anie izahay mba matin’ ny tànan’ i Jehovah tany amin’ ny tany Egypta, raha nipetraka teo anilan’ ny fahandroan-kena ka nihinan-kanina ho voky; fa nitondra anay nivoaka ho atỳ an-efitra ianareo hahafaty mosary izao fiangonana rehetra izao.
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.
Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Indro, Izaho handatsaka mofo avy any an-danitra ho anareo; dia hivoaka ny olona ka hanangona izay sahaza hohaniny isan’ andro, hizahako toetra azy, na handeha manaraka ny lalako izy, na tsia.
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.”
Ary raha mby amin’ ny andro fahenina dia hamboariny izay azony; ary hisy indroa toraka izay angoniny isan’ andro.
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,
Ary hoy Mosesy sy Arona tamin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra: Anio hariva dia ho fantatrareo fa Jehovah no nitondra anareo nivoaka avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta;
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?”
ary rahampitso maraina dia ho hitanareo ny voninahitr’ i Jehovah, fa efa reny ny fimonomononanareo tamin’ i Jehovah; fa izahay moa no inona, no imonomononanareo?
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.”
Ary hoy koa Mosesy; Ho hitanareo izany, raha homen’ i Jehovah hena hohanina ianareo anio hariva, ary mofo hahavoky rahampitso maraina; fa efa ren’ i Jehovah ny fimonomononanareo, izay nimonomononanareo taminy; fa izahay moa no inona? Tsy izahay no imonomononanareo, fa Jehovah.
9 Then Moses said to Aaron, “Tell the whole congregation of Israel, ‘Come before the LORD, for He has heard your grumbling.’”
Ary hoy Mosesy tamin’ i Arona: Lazao amin’ ny fiangonana, dia ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra, hoe: Manatòna eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah; fa efa reny ny fimonomononanareo.
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.
Ary raha Arona mbola niteny tamin’ ny fiangonana, dia ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra, dia nijery nanatrika ny efitra izy ireo, ka, indro, ny voninahitr’ i Jehovah niseho teo amin’ ny rahona.
11 Then the LORD said to Moses,
Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
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.’”
Efa reko ny fimonomononan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, koa mitenena aminy hoe: Anio hariva dia hihinan-kena ianareo, ary rahampitso maraina kosa dia ho voky mofo ianareo, ka dia ho fantatrareo fa Izaho no Jehovah Andriamanitrareo.
13 That evening quail came and covered the camp, and in the morning there was a layer of dew around the camp.
Ary nony hariva dia niakatra ny papelika, ka rakotra azy ny toby; ary nony maraina dia nisy ando manodidina ny toby;
14 When the layer of dew had evaporated, there were thin flakes on the desert floor, as fine as frost on the ground.
ary nony niala ny ando, dia, indro, nisy zava-madinika boribory teny amin’ ny efitra, madinika toy ny fanala amin’ ny tany.
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.
Ary rehefa hitan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely izany, dia nifanontany hoe izy: Inona itony? satria tsy fantany ireny. Dia hoy Mosesy taminy: Itony no mofo izay nomen’ i Jehovah ho fihinanareo.
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.’”
Izao no teny izay nandidian’ i Jehovah: Samia manangona azy ianareo araka izay tokony ho laninareo avy, dia eran’ ny vata omera avy ho amin’ ny isan-olona, araka ny isanareo; samia mitondra ianareo rehetra ho an’ izay ao an-dainy avy.
17 So the Israelites did this. Some gathered more, and some less.
Dia nanao izany ny Zanak’ Isiraely, ka samy nanangona: ny sasany nanangona be, ary ny sasany kosa kely.
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.
Ary raha nafatrany tamin’ ny vata omera izany, dia tsy nanana amby ny nanangona be, ary ny nanangona kely tsy nanana ny tsy ampy; samy nanangona araka izay fihinany avy izy.
19 Then Moses said to them, “No one may keep any of it until morning.”
Ary hoy Mosesy taminy: Aza misy mamela sisa ho tra-maraina.
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.
Kanefa tsy mba nanaraka ny tenin’ i Mosesy izy, fa namela sisa ho tra-maraina ihany ny olona sasany, dia niteraka olitra izany ka maimbo; ary dia tezitra tamin’ ny olona Mosesy.
21 Every morning each one gathered as much as was needed, and when the sun grew hot, it melted away.
Ary nanangona ny mana isa-maraina ny olona, dia samy araka izay fihinany avy; ary nony nafana ny andro, dia levona ireny.
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.
Ary nony tamin’ ny andro fahenina dia nanangona avy sasaka noho ny isan’ andro ny olona, dia indroan’ ny vata omera ho an’ ny isan-olona avy; dia avy ny lohan’ ny fiangonana ka nanambara tamin’ i Mosesy.
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.’”
Ary hoy Mosesy taminy: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Rahampitso dia tena andro fitsaharana masìna ho an’ i Jehovah; koa manendasa izay hendasinareo, ary mahandroa izay handrahoinareo, ary izay sisa rehetra dia avelao ho anareo, hotehirizina ho tra-maraina.
24 So they set it aside until morning as Moses had commanded, and it did not smell or contain any maggots.
Dia namela izany ho tra-maraina izy, araka izay nandidian’ i Mosesy; ary tsy mba maimbo na niteraka olitra izany.
25 “Eat it today,” Moses said, “because today is a Sabbath to the LORD. Today you will not find anything in the field.
Ary hoy Mosesy: Hano ireny anio, fa Sabata ho an’ i Jehovah anio, ka anio no tsy hahitanareo azy any an-tsaha.
26 For six days you may gather, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, it will not be there.”
Henemana no hanangonanareo azy; fa Sabata ny andro fahafito, ka dia tsy hisy amin’ izany.
27 Yet on the seventh day some of the people went out to gather, but they did not find anything.
Ary nony tamin’ ny andro fahafito dia nisy olona nivoaka hanangona, fa tsy nahita na dia kely akory aza.
28 Then the LORD said to Moses, “How long will you refuse to keep My commandments and instructions?
Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Mandra-pahoviana no handavanareo tsy hitandrina ny didiko sy ny lalàko?
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.”
Saino fa Jehovah no nanome anareo ny Sabata, koa izany no anomezany anareo mofo ampy ho indroa andro amin’ ny andro fahenina; samia mitoetra eo amin’ ny fitoerany avy ianareo, ka aoka tsy hisy hiala amin’ ny fitoerany amin’ ny andro fahafito.
30 So the people rested on the seventh day.
Dia nitsahatra ny olona tamin’ ny andro fahafito.
31 Now the house of Israel called the bread manna. It was white like coriander seed and tasted like wafers made with honey.
Ary ny anarany dia nataon’ ny taranak’ Isiraely hoe Mana; ary tahaka ny voan-drafy izy sady fotsy; ary ny fanandramana azy dia tahaka ny mofo misy tantely.
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.’”
Ary hoy Mosesy: Izao no teny izay nandidian’ i Jehovah: Analao eran’ ny vata omera izy hotehirizina hatramin’ ny taranakareo fara mandimby, mba ho hitany ny mofo izay nampihinaniko anareo tany an-efitra, raha nitondra anareo nivoaka avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta Aho.
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.”
Ary hoy Mosesy tamin’ i Arona: Makà vilany, ka asio mana eran’ ny vata omera eo anatiny, dia apetraho eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah mba hotehirizina hatramin’ ny taranakareo fara mandimby.
34 And Aaron placed it in front of the Testimony, to be preserved just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
Ary araka izay nandidian’ i Jehovah an’ i Mosesy no nametrahan’ i Arona izany teo anatrehan’ ny Vavolombelona mba hotehirizina.
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.
Ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely nihinana mana mandritra ny efa-polo taona mandra-pahatongany tany amin’ izay tany misy monina: eny, mana no nohaniny mandra-pahatongany tany amin’ ny sisin’ ny tany Kanana.
36 (Now an omer is a tenth of an ephah.)
Ary ny omera dia ampahalofon’ ny vata efaha.
