Exodus 16
1 And they departed from Aelim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came to the wilderness of Sin, which is between Aelim and Sina; and on the fifteenth day, in the second month after their departure from the land of Egypt,
Lisanga nyonso ya bana ya Isalaele balongwaki na Elimi mpe bakomaki na esobe ya Tsini, oyo ezali kati ya Elimi mpe ngomba Sinai, na mokolo ya zomi na mitano, na sanza ya mibale sima na kobima na bango na Ejipito.
2 all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron.
Lisanga nyonso ya bana ya Isalaele bayimaki-yimaki na tina na Moyize mpe Aron kati na esobe.
3 And the children of Israel said to them, Would we had died struck by the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh-pots, and ate bread to satiety! for you have brought us out into this wilderness, to kill all this congregation with hunger.
Bana ya Isalaele balobaki na bango: — Ah! Ebongaki kutu loboko na Yawe epamela biso kati na Ejipito, pamba te, kuna, tozalaki kovanda pembeni ya banzungu etonda na misuni; tozalaki kolia mpe kotonda biloko. Kasi bino bomemi biso kati na esobe oyo mpo na koboma lisanga oyo nyonso na nzala!
4 And the Lord said to Moses, Behold, I [will] rain bread upon you out of heaven: and the people shall go forth, and they shall gather their daily portion for the day, that I may try them whether they will walk in my law or not.
Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Tala, nakokitisela bino mapa wuta na likolo. Mokolo na mokolo, bato bakobanda kobima mpe kolokota mapa oyo ekoki mpo na kolia mokolo wana. Na nzela wana, nakomeka bango mpo na kotala soki bakobatela to te malako na Ngai.
5 And it shall come to pass on the sixth day that they shall prepare whatever they have brought in, and it shall be double of what they shall have gathered for the day, daily.
Na mokolo ya motoba, bakolokota mbala mibale ndambo oyo bazalaki kolokota mpo na mokolo moko mpe bakolamba yango.
6 And Moses and Aaron said to all the congregation of the children of Israel, At even you shall know that the Lord has brought you out of the land of Egypt;
Moyize mpe Aron balobaki na bana nyonso ya Isalaele: — Na pokwa ya lelo, bokoyeba solo ete ezali Yawe nde abimisaki bino na Ejipito.
7 and in the morning you shall see the glory of the Lord, inasmuch as he hears your murmuring against God; and who are we, that you continue to murmur against us?
Boye lobi na tongo, bokomona nkembo na Yawe; pamba te ayoki koyimayima na bino na tina na Ye. Mpo na yango, biso tozali banani mpo ete boyimayima epai na biso?
8 And Moses said, [This shall be] when the Lord gives you in the evening flesh to eat, and bread in the morning to satiety, because the Lord has heard your murmuring, which you murmur against us: and what are we? for your murmuring is not against us, but against God.
Moyize alobaki lisusu: — Bokoyeba ete ezali solo Yawe tango akopesa bino misuni ya kolia na pokwa mpe mapa ebele na tongo. Pamba te ayoki koyimayima na bino na tina na Ye. Biso tozali banani? Boyimaki-yimaki na tina na biso te, kasi na tina na Yawe.
9 And Moses said to Aaron, Say to all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before God; for he has heard your murmuring.
Boye Moyize alobaki na Aron: — Yebisa lisanga nyonso ya bana ya Isalaele ete bapusana pene ya Yawe mpo ete ayoki koyimayima na bango.
10 And when Aaron spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and they turned towards the wilderness, then the glory of the Lord appeared in a cloud.
Wana Aron azalaki koloba na lisanga nyonso ya bana ya Isalaele, babalolaki miso na bango na ngambo ya esobe, mpe bamonaki nkembo na Yawe kobima na mapata.
11 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
12 I have heard the murmuring of the children of Israel: speak to them, saying, Towards evening you shall eat flesh, and in the morning you shall be satisfied with bread; and you shall know that I am the Lord your God.
— Nayoki koyimayima ya bana ya Isalaele. Yebisa bango: « Na pokwa ya lelo, bokolia misuni; bongo na tongo, bokotonda mana. Boye, bokoyeba solo ete nazali Yawe, Nzambe na bino. »
13 And it was evening, and quails came up and covered the camp:
Kaka na pokwa wana, bakayi eyaki mpe etondisaki molako; mpe na tongo, mamwe ezalaki zingazinga ya molako.
14 in the morning it came to pass as the dew ceased round about the camp, that, behold, on the face of the wilderness [was] a small thing like white coriander seed, as frost upon the earth.
Tango mamwe elimwaki, biloko ya mike-mike penza lokola bambuma ya mike-mike emonanaki na mabele ya esobe, pembe lokola mvula ya pembe.
15 And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, What is this? for they knew not what it was; and Moses said to them,
Tango bana ya Isalaele bamonaki yango, batunanaki bango na bango: — Oyo nini? Pamba te bayebaki te soki ezali nini. Moyize alobaki na bango: — Ezali mapa oyo Yawe apesi bino mpo ete bolia.
16 This [is] the bread which the Lord has given you to eat. This is that which the Lord has appointed: gather of it each man for his family, a homer for each person, according to the number of your souls, gather each of you with his fellow-lodgers.
Tala mibeko oyo Yawe apesi na tina na likambo oyo: « Tika ete moto na moto alokota oyo ekoki mpo na ye kolia, omeri moko mpo na moto moko. Moto na moto akolokota kolanda motango ya bato oyo bazali kati na ndako na ye ya kapo. »
17 And the children of Israel did so, and gathered some much and some less.
Bato ya Isalaele basalaki bongo: bamoko balokotaki moke; mpe bamosusu, ebele.
18 And having measured the homer [full], he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that had gathered less had no lack; each gathered according to the need of those who belonged to him.
Mpe bamekaki na omeri: moto oyo alokotaki ebele, alekelaki te; mpe oyo alokotaki moke, azangelaki te. Balokotaki moto na moto kolanda oyo ekokaki mpo na ye kolia.
19 And Moses said to them, Let no man leave of it till the morning.
Moyize ayebisaki bango: — Moko te abomba ata moke kino na tongo.
20 But they did not listen to Moses, but some left of it till the morning; and it bred worms and stank: and Moses was irritated with them.
Kasi bamosusu kati na bango bayokelaki Moyize te mpe babombaki ndambo na yango kino na tongo. Boye bankusu etondaki na ndambo oyo babombaki, mpe ekomaki kolumba solo ya kopola. Mpo na yango, Moyize atombokelaki bango.
21 And they gathered it every morning, each man what he needed, and when the sun waxed hot it melted.
Tongo nyonso, moto na moto abandaki kolokota oyo ekokaki mpo na ye kolia.
22 And it came to pass on the sixth day, they gathered double what was needed, two homers for one [man]; and all the chiefs of the synagogue went in and reported it to Moses.
Na mokolo ya motoba, bana ya Isalaele bazalaki kolokota mbala mibale ndambo oyo bazalaki kolokota mpo na mokolo moko: omeri mibale mpo na moto moko. Bakambi nyonso ya lisanga bayaki koyebisa yango Moyize.
23 And Moses said to them, Is not this the word which the Lord spoke? To-morrow [is] the sabbath, a holy rest to the Lord: bake that you will bake, and seethe that you will seethe, and all that is over leave to be laid by for the morrow.
Moyize alobaki na bango: — Tala mibeko oyo Yawe apesi: « Lobi ezali mokolo ya kopema, mokolo ya Saba oyo ebulisami mpo na Yawe. Bokolamba oyo bolingi kolamba mpe bokotokisa oyo bolingi kotokisa; kasi oyo ekotikala, bobatela yango kino lobi. »
24 And they left of it till the morning, as Moses commanded them; and it stank not, neither was there a worm in it.
Bato ya Isalaele babatelaki yango kino na tongo, ndenge kaka Moyize atindaki; mana elumbaki te solo ya kopola, mpe bankusu ezalaki te kati na yango.
25 And Moses said, Eat [that] today, for today is a sabbath to the Lord: [it] shall not be found in the plain.
Moyize ayebisaki bango: — Mokolo ya lelo ezali mokolo ya Saba, mokolo ya Yawe. Bolia mana oyo bobombaki; pamba te lelo, bokotikala te komona mana na libanda.
26 Six days you shall gather it, and on the seventh day is a sabbath, for there shall be none on that [day].
Bokobanda kolokota yango mikolo motoba; kasi na mokolo ya sambo, mokolo ya Saba, mana ekobanda kozala te.
27 And it came to pass on the seventh day [that] some of the people went forth to gather, and found none.
Atako bongo, na mokolo ya sambo, bato mosusu kati na bango babimaki mpo na kolokota yango, kasi bamonaki eloko te.
28 And the Lord said to Moses, How long are you unwilling to listen to my commands and my law?
Boye Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Kino tango nini bokoboya kobatela mibeko mpe malako na Ngai?
29 See, for the Lord has given you this day [as] the sabbath, therefore he has given you on the sixth day the bread of two days: you shall sit each of you in your houses; let no one go forth from his place on the seventh day.
Botia na mito na bino ete Ngai Yawe, napesaki bino mokolo ya Saba. Yango wana, na mokolo ya motoba, napesaka bino mapa mpo na mikolo mibale. Boye tika ete, na mokolo ya sambo, moto na moto avanda epai na ye; moko te abima na libanda.
30 And the people kept sabbath on the seventh day.
Boye bato bapemaki na mokolo ya sambo.
31 And the children of Israel called the name of it Man; and it was as white coriander seed, and the taste of it as a wafer with honey.
Bato ya Isalaele babengaki lipa yango mana. Ezalaki pembe lokola bambuma ya koriande mpe elengi lokola mikate balamba na mafuta ya nzoyi.
32 And Moses said, This [is] the thing which the Lord has commanded, Fill an homer with manna, to be laid up for your generations; that they may see the bread which you ate in the wilderness, when the Lord led you forth out of the land of Egypt.
Moyize alobaki: — Tala mibeko oyo Yawe apesi: « Bozwa omeri moko ya mana mpe bobomba yango mpo na milongo ya bakitani na bino oyo ekoya, mpo ete bamona mapa oyo naleisaki bino na esobe tango nabimisaki bino na Ejipito. »
33 And Moses said to Aaron, Take a golden pot, and cast into it one full homer of manna; and you shall lay it up before God, to be kept for your generations,
Boye Moyize alobi na Aron: — Kamata ekolo moko mpe tia omeri moko ya mana kati na yango; bongo tia yango liboso ya Yawe mpo ete ebombama mpo na milongo oyo ekoya.
34 as the Lord commanded Moses: and Aaron laid it up before the testimony to be kept.
Ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki Moyize, Aron atiaki mana yango liboso ya Sanduku ya Boyokani mpo ete ebombama malamu.
35 And the children of Israel ate manna forty years, until they came to the land they ate the manna, until they came to the region of Phoenicia.
Bana ya Isalaele baliaki mana mibu tuku minei kino tango bakomaki na mondelo ya mokili ya Kanana.
36 Now the homer was the tenth part of three measures.
Omeri moko ekokani na eteni ya zomi ya efa.
