Exodus 16
1 And they journeyed from Elim, and the whole assembly of the children of Israel came into the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departure out of the land of Egypt.
Azɔ la, Israel ƒe ha blibo la dzo le Elim, eye woyi Sin, gbegbe si le Elim kple Sinai to la dome. Woɖo afi ma le ɣleti evelia ƒe ŋkeke wuiatɔ̃lia dzi le woƒe dzodzo le Egipte megbe.
2 And the whole assembly of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness.
Le afi sia hã la, dukɔ la katã galĩ liʋĩliʋĩ le Mose kple Aron ŋuti vevie.
3 And the children of Israel said to them, Would that we had died by the hand of Jehovah in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh-pots, when we ate bread to the full; for ye have brought us out into this wilderness, to kill this whole congregation with hunger!
Israelviwo gblɔ na wo be, “Ɖe wòanyo ŋutɔ ne míaku ɖe Yehowa ƒe asi me le Egipte! Le teƒe ma la, míenɔa anyi ƒoa xlã lã siwo míeɖa la ƒe zewo, eye míeɖua nu si míedi la, gake miekplɔ mí va gbegbe afi sia be dɔ nawu mí míaku.”
4 Then said Jehovah to Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather the daily need on its day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or not.
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Kpɔ ɖa, mana abolo nadza tso dziƒo na wo. Ame sia ame ate ŋu ado go gbe sia gbe, eye wòafɔ nuɖuɖu si wòhiã. Mado wo kpɔ le nu sia me akpɔ be woawɔ ɖe nye ɖoɖowo dzi mahã.
5 And it shall come to pass on the sixth day, that they shall prepare what they have brought in; and it shall be twice as much as they shall gather daily.
Gblɔ na wo be, woafɔ nuɖuɖu si wofɔna gbe sia gbe la ƒe teƒe eve le kɔsiɖa ɖe sia ɖe ƒe ŋkeke adelia dzi.”
6 And Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, In the evening, then shall ye know that Jehovah has brought you out from the land of Egypt;
Mose kple Aron wowɔ takpekpe kple Israelviwo katã. Wogblɔ na wo be, “Egbe fiẽ la, miadze sii be Yehowae kplɔ mi tso Egiptenyigba dzi.
7 and in the morning, then shall ye see the glory of Jehovah; for he has heard your murmurings against Jehovah; — and what are we, that ye murmur against us?
Le ŋdi la, miakpɔ eƒe ŋutikɔkɔe geɖe wu, elabena ese miaƒe liʋĩliʋĩlilĩ le eya, Yehowa ŋu, elabena menye míawo ŋue mielĩ liʋĩliʋĩ le o. Ame kawo míenye?”
8 And Moses said, When Jehovah gives you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for Jehovah hears your murmurings which ye murmur against him...and what [are] we? your murmurings are not against us, but against Jehovah.
Mose gblɔ hã be mianya be, “Yehowae na lã mi le fiẽ me, eye wòna abolo si miehiã la mi le ŋdi me, elabena ese miaƒe liʋĩliʋĩlilĩwo le eŋuti. Ame kawoe mienye? Menye míawo ŋu miele liʋĩliʋĩ lĩm le o, ke boŋ Yehowa ŋue.”
9 And Moses spoke to Aaron, Say to all the assembly of the children of Israel, Come near into the presence of Jehovah; for he has heard your murmurings.
Ale Mose gblɔ na Aron be, “Gblɔ na Israelviwo katã be, ‘Miva Yehowa ŋkume, elabena ese miaƒe liʋĩliʋĩlilĩ.’”
10 And it came to pass, when Aaron spoke to the whole assembly of the children of Israel, that they turned toward the wilderness, and behold, the glory of Jehovah appeared in the cloud.
Esi Aron nɔ nu ƒom na Israelviwo ƒe ha bliboa la, wonye kɔ kpɔ gbegbe lɔƒo, eye le afi ma wokpɔ Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe wònɔ keklẽm le aliliwo me.
11 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
12 I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak to them, saying, Between the two evenings ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah your God.
“Mese woƒe liʋĩliʋĩlilĩ. Gblɔ na wo be, ‘Le fiẽ sia la, lã aka mia si; le ŋdi la, miaxɔ abolo, eye mianya be nyee nye Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu.’”
13 And it came to pass in the evening, that quails came up, and covered the camp; and in the morning the dew lay round the camp.
Gbe ma gbe fiẽ la, tegliwo ƒe ha gã aɖe va do, eye woxe asaɖa la tame. Le ŋdi la, afu do ƒo xlã asaɖa la,
14 And when the dew that lay [round it] was gone up, behold, on the face of the wilderness there was [something] fine, granular, fine as hoar-frost, on the ground.
eye esi xexeme kɔ ŋdi la, nu ɣi nogonogoewo nɔ anyigba abe kpetsi ene.
15 And the children of Israel saw [it], and said one to another, What is it? for they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them, This is the bread which Jehovah has given you to eat.
Esi Israelviwo kpɔ wo la, wobia wo nɔewo be, “Nu kawoe nye esiawo?” Elabena womenya nu si wonye o. Mose gblɔ na wo be, “Esiawoe nye abolo si Yehowa na mi be miaɖu.
16 This is the thing which Jehovah has commanded: Gather of it every man according to what he can eat, an omer a poll, [according to] the number of your persons: ye shall take every man for those that are in his tent.
Yehowa gblɔ be, ame sia ame nafɔ agbɔsɔsɔ si ade eƒe aƒemetɔwo nu abe lita eve ƒe dzidzeme ene ɖe aƒea me tɔ ɖe sia ɖe nu.”
17 And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some much, some little.
Ale Israelviwo yi ɖafɔ wo abe ale si Mose gblɔ na wo ene; ame aɖewo fɔe fũu, ke ame aɖewo hã mefɔe fũu o.
18 And they measured with the omer: then he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little wanted nothing: they had gathered every man according to the measure of his eating.
Esi wotrɔ wo ɖe dzidzenu la me la, woyɔ dzidzenu la ɖe ame sia ame nu. Ame si ƒoa ƒu nuwo fũu hã mekpɔa ɖeke ɖe edzi o, ke ame si ƒo ƒu sue aɖe hã la, naneke mehiãnɛ o! Aƒe ɖe sia ɖe me tɔwo kpɔ esi ade wo nu tututu.
19 And Moses said to them, Let no man leave [any] of it until the morning.
Mose gblɔ na wo be, “Migana ŋu nake ɖe wo dzi o.”
20 But they did not hearken to Moses; and some men left of it until the morning; then worms bred in it and it stank. And Moses was wroth with them.
Ame aɖewo meɖo to o: wona ŋu ke ɖe wo dzi. Kasia woakpɔ wo ɖa la, wodze nyẽ henɔ ʋeʋẽm kũu. Mose do dɔmedzoe ɖe wo ŋu vevie,
21 And they gathered it every morning, every man as much as he could eat; and when the sun became hot, it melted.
eya ta azɔ la, wofɔa nuɖuɖu la ŋdi sia ŋdi, eye aƒe sia aƒe fɔa esi wòhiã la ko. Ne ŋdɔ ʋu, eye anyigba xɔ dzo la, abolo la lolõna, eye wòbuna.
22 And it came to pass on the sixth day, that they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one; and all the princes of the assembly came and told Moses.
Le ŋkeke adelia dzi la, wofɔa agbɔsɔsɔ si wofɔna gbe sia gbe la ƒe teƒe eve. Wofɔa lita ene ɖe ame sia ame nu, ɖe lita eve teƒe. Kplɔlawo bia Mose be nu ka ta wòde se ma na yewo mahã.
23 And he said to them, This is what Jehovah has said: To-morrow is the rest, the holy sabbath, of Jehovah: bake what ye will bake, and cook what ye will cook; and lay up for yourselves all that remains over, to be kept for the morning.
Mose gblɔ na wo be, “Yehowa tɔ asi etsɔ dzi be wòanye dzudzɔgbe, wòanye ŋkeke kɔkɔe na Yehowa, eye wòle be míadzudzɔ tso míaƒe gbe sia gbe dɔwo wɔwɔ me, eya ta miɖa nu wòasɔ gbɔ abe ale si miedi ene egbe, eye midzra esi asusɔ la ɖo ŋu nake ɖe edzi.”
24 And they laid it up for the morning, as Moses had commanded; and it did not stink, neither was there any worm in it.
Esi ŋu ke la, nuɖuɖu la nɔ nyuie: megadze nye o eye megaʋẽ hã o, abe ale si Mose gblɔe na wo ene.
25 And Moses said, Eat it to-day; for to-day is sabbath to Jehovah: to-day ye shall not find it in the field.
Mose gblɔ be, “Esiae nye miaƒe egbe ƒe nuɖuɖu, elabena egbee nye dzudzɔgbe na Yehowa, eye nuɖuɖu aɖeke maganɔ anyigba miafɔ egbe o.
26 Six days shall ye gather it; but on the seventh day is sabbath: on it there shall be none.
Mifɔ nuɖuɖu la ŋkeke ade, ŋkeke adrelia nye Dzudzɔgbe. Nuɖuɖu aɖeke manɔ anyigba miafɔ gbe ma gbe o.”
27 And it came to pass on the seventh day that there went out [some] from the people to gather [it], and they found none.
Ke ame aɖewo ya gayi nuɖuɖu la fɔ ge, togbɔ be gbe ma gbee nye ŋkeke adrelia, ke nuɖuɖu aɖeke menɔ anyigba wofɔ o.
28 And Jehovah said to Moses, How long do ye refuse to keep my commandments and my laws?
Yehowa bia Mose be, “Va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣie miagbe toɖoɖo nye sewo kple ɖoɖowo?
29 See, for Jehovah hath given you the sabbath; therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread for two days. Abide every man in his place: let no man go from his place on the seventh day.
Miɖo ŋku edzi be, Yehowae na Dzudzɔgbe ŋkeke la mi; esia tae wòna ŋkeke eve ƒe abolo mi le ŋkeke adelia gbe. Ame sia ame nenɔ afi si wòle le ŋkeke adrelia gbe; ame aɖeke megado go o.”
30 And the people rested on the seventh day.
Ale Israelviwo dzudzɔ wo ɖokuiwo le ŋkeke adrelia gbe.
31 And the house of Israel called its name Manna; and it was like coriander-seed, white; and the taste of it was like cake with honey.
Israelviwo yɔa abolo la be, “mana.” Ele ɣie abe bliku ene, eye wòvivina abe akpɔnɔvivi si me wode anyitsii ene.
32 And Moses said, This is the thing which Jehovah has commanded: Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they may see the bread that I gave you to eat in the wilderness, when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.
Mose gblɔ be, “Ale Yehowa de see nye esi, ‘Tsɔ mana lita ɖeka, dzrae ɖo hena dzidzime siwo ava dzɔ, ale be woate ŋu akpɔ abolo si mena mi mieɖu le gbedzi, esi mekplɔ mi do goe le Egipte.’”
33 And Moses said to Aaron, Take a pot, and put in it an omer full of manna, and deposit it before Jehovah, to be kept for your generations.
Ale Mose gblɔ na Aron be, “Tsɔ ze aɖe, eye nàdzidze mana lita ɖeka akɔ ɖe eme. Ekema, nàtsɔe ɖo Yehowa ŋkume be woadzrae ɖo hena dzidzime siwo ava dzɔ.”
34 As Jehovah had commanded Moses, so Aaron deposited it before the Testimony, to be kept.
Aron wɔ esia abe ale si Yehowa bia tso Mose si ene. Emegbe la, Aron tsɔe da ɖe nubablaɖaka la ŋgɔ le agbadɔ la me be wòanɔ dedie le afi ma.
35 And the children of Israel ate the manna forty years, until they came into an inhabited land: they ate the manna until they came to the borders of the land of Canaan.
Ale Israelviwo ɖu “mana” ƒe blaene va se ɖe esime woɖo Kanaanyigba ƒe liƒo dzi, afi si agblemenukuwo nɔ woaɖu.
36 Now an omer is the tenth [part] of an ephah.
(Dzidzenu si wotsɔna dzidzea mana la anɔ abe lita eve ene.)
