Exodus 16
1 And they set out from Elim. And the entire multitude of the sons of Israel arrived at the desert of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month, after they departed from the land of Egypt.
Awo abaana ba Isirayiri, nga kibiina kinene, ne basitula okuva mu Erimu; ne batuuka mu ddungu lya Sini, eriri wakati wa Erimu ne Sinaayi, nga baakamala emyezi ebiri n’ennaku kkumi na ttaano kasookedde bava mu nsi y’e Misiri.
2 And the entire congregation of the sons of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness.
Nga bali mu ddungu eryo, ekibiina kyonna eky’abaana ba Isirayiri ne kyemulugunyiza Musa ne Alooni.
3 And the sons of Israel said to them: “If only we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat around bowls of meat and ate bread until filled. Why have you led us away, into this desert, so that you might kill the entire multitude with famine?”
Abaana ba Isirayiri ne babagamba nti, “Singa twasigala mu nsi y’e Misiri, Mukama n’atuttira eyo n’omukono gwe! Kubanga eyo twalyanga sefuliya z’ennyama, n’emmere nnyingi nga bwe twayagalanga, ne tukkuta; naye kaakano mutuleese mu ddungu lino, ekibiina kino kyonna kife enjala.”
4 Then the Lord said to Moses: “Behold, I will rain down bread from heaven for you. Let the people go out and collect what is sufficient for each day, so that I may test them, as to whether or not they will walk in my law.
Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Nzija kubatonnyeseza emmere ng’eva mu ggulu. Abantu banaakuŋŋaanyanga buli lunaku ekitundu eky’olunaku olwo; ndyoke mbagezese ndabe obanga banaakwatanga amateeka gange, oba tebaagakwatenga.
5 But on the sixth day, let them prepare what they use for carrying, and let there be double what they were accustomed to collect on a single day.”
Ku lunaku olw’omukaaga bwe banaabanga bakuŋŋaanya emmere ey’olunaku olwo, bakuŋŋaanyanga eyenkanaankana n’ey’ennaku bbiri.”
6 And Moses and Aaron said to the sons of Israel: “In the evening, you will know that the Lord has led you away from the land of Egypt.
Awo Musa ne Alooni ne bagamba abaana ba Isirayiri bonna nti, “Obudde nga buwungeera, we munaategeerera nga Mukama ye yabaggya mu nsi y’e Misiri:
7 And in the morning, you will see the glory of the Lord. For he has heard your murmuring against the Lord. But as for us, truly what are we, that you would whisper against us?”
ate enkya lwe munaalaba ekitiibwa kya Mukama, kubanga awulidde nga mumwemulugunyiza. Kubanga naffe ffe b’ani mmwe okutwemulugunyiza?”
8 And Moses said: “In the evening, the Lord will give you flesh to eat, and in the morning, bread in fullness. For he has heard your murmurings that you have murmured against him. For what are we? Your murmuring is not against us, but against the Lord.”
Musa n’ayongera okubagamba nti, “Mujja kwongera okutegeera Mukama, olweggulo nga buwungeera bw’anaabawa ennyama ne mulya, ate enkya n’abawa emmere ebamala: kubanga Mukama awulidde nga mumwemulugunyiza. Naffe ffe b’ani? Temwemulugunyiza ffe, wabula Mukama.”
9 Moses also said to Aaron: “Say to the whole congregation of the sons of Israel, ‘Approach before the Lord. For he has heard your murmuring.’”
Awo Musa n’agamba Alooni nti, “Tegeeza ekibiina kyonna eky’abaana ba Isirayiri nti, ‘Musembere awali Mukama, kubanga awulidde okwemulungunya kwammwe!’”
10 And when Aaron spoke to the entire assembly of the sons of Israel, they looked out toward the wilderness. And behold, the glory of the Lord appeared in a cloud.
Awo olwatuuka, Alooni bwe yali ng’akyategeeza ekibiina kyonna eky’abaana ba Isirayiri, ne batunula mu ddungu; era, laba, ekitiibwa kya Mukama ne kirabikira mu kire.
11 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Mukama n’ayogera ne Musa, ng’agamba nti,
12 “I have heard the murmuring of the sons of Israel. Say to them: ‘In the evening, you will eat flesh, and in the morning, you will be filled with bread. And you shall know that I am the Lord your God.’”
“Mpulidde okwemulugunya kw’abaana ba Isirayiri. Bagambe nti, ‘Obudde nga buwungeera munaalya ennyama, n’enkya munakkusibwa emmere. Bwe mutyo munaategeera nga nze Mukama Katonda wammwe.’”
13 Therefore, it happened in the evening: quails, rising up, covered the camp. Likewise, in the morning, a dew lay all around the camp.
Obudde nga buwungeera enkwale ne zijja ne zijjula olusiisira; ne mu makya ne wabaawo omusulo ku ttaka mu lusiisira.
14 And when it had covered the face of the earth, it appeared, in the wilderness, small and as if crushed with a pestle, similar to hoar-frost on the ground.
Omusulo nga gwamuse ng’obudde bukaze, laba, ku ttaka ne kulabikako obuntu obutono obwekulungirivu obufaanana ng’omusulo ogukutte olw’obunnyogovu obungi.
15 When the sons of Israel had seen it, they said one to another: “Manhu?” which means “What is this?” For they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them: “This is the bread that the Lord has given you to eat.
Abaana ba Isirayiri bwe baabulaba ne beebuzaganya nti, “Kiki kino?” Kubanga baali tebakimanyi. Musa n’abategeeza nti, “Eno ye mmere Mukama gy’abawadde okulya.
16 This is the word that the Lord has instructed. Let each one collect as much of it as is sufficient to eat. One omer for each head. According to the number of your souls which live in a tent, so will you take of it.”
Mukama alagidde bw’ati nti, ‘Buli muntu akuŋŋaanye gy’anaamalawo. Buli muntu ali mu weema zammwe mumukuŋŋaanyize kilo bbiri.’”
17 And the sons of Israel did so. And they collected: some more, others less.
Abaana ba Isirayiri ne bakola nga bwe baalagirwa; abamu ne bakuŋŋaanya nnyingi, n’abalala ntono.
18 And they measured by the measure of an omer. He who collected more, did not have too much; nor did he who prepared less, find too little. But each one gathered according to what they were able to eat.
Bwe baagipimiranga mu kabakuli aka oma, ze lita ebbiri, oyo eyali akuŋŋaanyizza ennyingi teyasukkirizanga, n’oyo ow’entono nga teyeeseera. Buli muntu yakuŋŋaanyanga ng’okwetaaga kwe bwe kwabanga.
19 And Moses said to them, “Let no one leave any of it behind until morning.”
Musa n’abagamba nti, “Tewabaawo omuntu n’omu agifissaako okutuusa enkeera.”
20 And they did not listen to him, but they left some of it behind until morning, and it began to swarm with worms, and it putrefied. And Moses became angry against them.
Kyokka abamu Musa tebaamufaako; ne beeterekerako okutuusa enkeera; n’ezaala envunyu, era n’ewunya. Musa n’abasunguwalira.
21 Then each one collected, in the morning, as much as would be sufficient to eat. And after the sun became hot, it melted.
Buli nkya ne bakuŋŋaanyanga buli omu gye yayinzanga okulya nga anaagimalawo; naye akasana bwe kaayakanga nga kakazizza, n’esaanuuka.
22 But on the sixth day, they collected a double portion, that is, two omers for each man. Then all the leaders among the multitude came, and they discoursed with Moses.
Awo ku lunaku olw’omukaaga ne bakuŋŋaanya emmere ya mirundi ebiri, ze kilo nnya buli muntu; abakulembeze bonna mu kibiina ne bajja ne bategeeza Musa.
23 And he said to them: “This is what the Lord has spoken: Tomorrow, the rest day of the Sabbath, has been sanctified to the Lord. Whatever would be done, do it now. And whatever would be cooked, cook it now. Then anything that will have been left over, store it until morning.”
N’abagamba nti, “Mukama yalagidde bw’ati nti, ‘Enkya lunaaba lunaku lwa kuwummula, ye Ssabbiiti ya Mukama Entukuvu. Leero mwokye emmere yammwe gye mwetaaga okwokya, era mufumbe gye mwagala okufumba; eneeba esigaddewo mugyeterekere okutuusa enkya.’”
24 And they did just as Moses had instructed, and it did not putrefy, nor were there any worms found in it.
Bwe batyo ne bagyeterekera okutuusa enkeera, nga Musa bwe yabalagira; n’etewunya wadde okuzaala envunyu.
25 And Moses said: “Eat it today, because it is the Sabbath of the Lord. Today it will not be found in the field.
Musa n’abagamba nti, “Eyo mugirye leero, kubanga leero ye Ssabbiiti ya Mukama, ku ttaka temujja kusangako mmere.
26 Gather for six days. But on the seventh day, it is the Sabbath of the Lord, for which reason it will not be found.”
Mu nnaku omukaaga mujjanga kugikuŋŋaanya, naye ku lunaku olw’omusanvu, olwa Ssabbiiti, emmere teebeerengawo.”
27 And the seventh day arrived. And some of the people, going out to collect it, did not find it.
Naye era abamu ku bantu baafuluma ku lunaku olw’omusanvu bagikuŋŋaanye, naye tebaasangayo kantu.
28 Then the Lord said to Moses: “How long will you be unwilling to keep my commandments and my law?
Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Mulituusa ddi nga mukyajeemera ebiragiro byange?
29 See how the Lord has given you the Sabbath, and, because of this, on the sixth day he distributes to you a double portion. Let each one remain with his own, and let no one go forth from his place on the seventh day.”
Mutegeere nga Mukama abawadde Ssabbiiti; ku lunaku olw’omukaaga kyava abawa emmere ya nnaku bbiri. Buli muntu abeerenga mu maka ge nga tafulumye n’akatono ku lunaku olw’omusanvu.”
30 And the people kept the Sabbath on the seventh day.
Abantu bwe batyo ne bawummula ku lunaku olw’omusanvu.
31 And the house of Israel called its name ‘Manna.’ It was like white coriander seed, and its taste was like wheat flour with honey.
Ab’omu nnyumba ya Isirayiri, emmere eyo ne bagiyitanga maanu. Yali efaanana ng’akasigo ka koliyanda, nga njeru; ng’ewoomerera ng’obusukuuti obufumbiddwa n’omubisi gw’enjuki.
32 Then Moses said: “This is the word that the Lord has instructed: Fill an omer of it, and let it be kept for future generations hereafter, so that they may know the bread, with which I nourished you in the wilderness, when you had been led away from the land of Egypt.”
Musa n’agamba nti, “Mukama alagidde bw’ati nti, ‘Muddire akabakuli aka kilo bbiri mukajjuze maanu mugiterekere ab’emirembe egigenda okujja; balyoke balabe ku mmere gye nabaliisanga mu ddungu, bwe nabaggya mu nsi y’e Misiri.’”
33 And Moses said to Aaron, “Take one vessel, and put manna into it, as much as an omer is able to hold. And store it in the sight of the Lord, to keep for your generations,
Musa n’agamba Alooni nti, “Ddira akabakuli osseemu maanu ejjuza oma, ze lita bbiri, obungi, ogisse awali Mukama, eterekerwe ab’emirembe egigenda okujja.”
34 just as the Lord instructed Moses.” And so, Aaron placed it in the tabernacle, in reserve.
Bw’atyo Alooni n’ateeka maanu awali Endagaano, ekuumirwe awo, nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa.
35 Now the sons of Israel ate manna for forty years, until they arrived in a habitable land. With this food they were nourished, even until they touched the borders of the land of Canaan.
Abaana ba Isirayiri ne balya maanu okumala emyaka amakumi ana, okutuusa lwe baatuuka mu nsi omuli abantu. Baalya maanu okutuusa lwe baatuuka ku nsalo ya Kanani.
36 Now an omer is a tenth part of an ephah.
Oma emu yenkana kimu kya kkumi ekya efa.
