< Exodus 16 >

1 The whole Israelite community left Elim and went to the Desert of Sin, between Elim and Sinai. This was on the fifteenth day of the second month after they had left the land of Egypt.
Ìjọ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli mú ọ̀nà wọn pọ̀n kúrò ni Elimu, wọ́n dé sí ijù Sini tí ó wà láàrín Elimu àti Sinai, ni ọjọ́ kẹ́ẹ̀dógún oṣù kejì tí wọ́n jáde kúrò ni ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.
2 There in the desert they complained to Moses and Aaron.
Gbogbo ìjọ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì ń kùn sí Mose àti Aaroni ní ijù náà.
3 “The Lord should've killed us back in Egypt!” the Israelites told them. “At least there we could sit down beside stewpots of meat and eat bread until we were full. But you had to bring all of us out here in the desert to starve us all to death!”
Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli wí fún wọn pé, “Àwa ìbá ti ọwọ́ Olúwa kú ni Ejibiti! Níbi tí àwa ti jókòó ti ìkòkò ẹran ti a sì ń jẹ ohun gbogbo tí a fẹ́ ni àjẹyó, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin mú wa wá sí inú ijù yìí láti fi ebi pa wá tí a ó fi kú.”
4 The Lord told Moses, “Just watch! I'm going to rain down bread from heaven for you! Each day the people are to go out and collect enough for that day. I'm going to test them by this to find out whether they'll follow my instructions or not.
Nígbà náà ni Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé, “Èmi yóò rọ òjò oúnjẹ láti ọ̀run wá fún yín. Àwọn ènìyàn yóò sì máa jáde lọ ni ọjọ́ kọ̀ọ̀kan láti kó ìwọ̀nba oúnjẹ ti ó tó fún oúnjẹ òòjọ́ wọn. Ní ọ̀nà yìí ni, èmi yóò fi dán wọn wò láti mọ bóyá wọn yóò máa tẹ̀lé ìlànà mi.
5 On the sixth day they are to collect twice as much as usual and prepare it.”
Ní ọjọ́ kẹfà, ki wọn kó ìlọ́po méjì èyí tiwọn ń ko ni ojoojúmọ́ tẹ́lẹ̀.”
6 So Moses and Aaron explained to all the Israelites, “This evening you will have the proof that it was the Lord who led you out of Egypt,
Mose àti Aaroni sọ fún gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Israẹli pé, “Ní ìrọ̀lẹ́, ẹ̀yin yóò mọ̀ pé Olúwa ni ó mú un yín jáde láti Ejibiti wá.
7 and in the morning you will see the glory of the Lord displayed as he responds to the complaints he's heard you making against him. For why should you be complaining to us? We're nobodies!”
Ní òwúrọ̀, ẹ̀yin yóò ri ògo Olúwa, nítorí òun ti gbọ́ kíkùn tí ẹ kùn sí i. Ta ni àwa ti ẹ̀yin yóò máa kùn sí wa?”
8 Then Moses continued, “The Lord is going to give you meat to eat this evening and as much bread as you want in the morning, for he has heard your complaints against him. Why are you complaining to us nobodies? Your complaints aren't directed against us, but against the Lord.”
Mose tún wí pé, “Ẹ̀yin yóò mọ pé Olúwa ni, nígbà ti ó bá fún un yín ni ẹran ni ìrọ̀lẹ́ àti gbogbo oúnjẹ ti ẹ̀yin ń fẹ́ ni òwúrọ̀, nítorí kíkùn ti ẹ̀yin ń kùn sí i. Ta ni àwa? Ẹ̀yin kò kùn sí àwa, Olúwa ni ẹ̀yin kùn sí i.”
9 Then Moses said to Aaron, “Tell the whole Israelite community, ‘Present yourselves before the Lord, because he has heard your complaints.’”
Nígbà náà ni Mose sọ fún Aaroni pe, “Sọ fún gbogbo ìjọ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli pe, ‘Ẹ wá sí iwájú Olúwa, nítorí òun ti gbọ́ kíkùn yín.’”
10 While Aaron was still speaking to all the Israelites, they looked toward the desert and saw the glory of the Lord appear in a cloud.
Ó sì ṣe bí Aaroni ti ń bá gbogbo ìjọ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sọ̀rọ̀, wọn si bojú wo ìhà ijù, sì kíyèsi ògo Olúwa si farahàn ni àwọsánmọ̀.
11 The Lord told Moses,
Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé,
12 “I have heard the complaints of the Israelites. Tell them, ‘In the evening you will eat meat, and in the morning you will have as much bread as you want. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God.’”
“Èmi ti gbọ́ kíkùn àwọn ọmọ Israẹli. Sọ fun wọn, ‘Ní àṣálẹ́, ẹ̀yin yóò jẹ ẹran, àti ni òwúrọ̀ ni ẹ̀yin yóò jẹ oúnjẹ. Nígbà náà ni ẹ̀yin yóò mọ̀ pé Èmi ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín.’”
13 That evening quail flew in and landed, filling the camp. In the morning dew covered the ground all around the camp.
Ní àṣálẹ́ ọjọ́ náà ni àwọn àparò fò dé, wọ́n sì bo àgọ́ mọ́lẹ̀, ní òwúrọ̀ ìrì sì sẹ̀ yí gbogbo àgọ́ náà ká.
14 Once the dew had gone, there was something thin and flaky on the desert, looking like frost crystals on the ground.
Nígbà tí ìrì tí ó sẹ̀ bo ilẹ̀ ti lọ, kíyèsi i, ohun tí ó dì, tí ó sì ń yooru bí i yìnyín wà lórí ilẹ̀.
15 When the Israelites saw it, they asked each another, “What is it?” because they had no idea what it was. So Moses explained to them, “It's the bread the Lord has provided for you to eat.
Nígbà tí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli rí i, wọ́n bi ara wọn léèrè pé, “Kí ni èyí?” Nítorí pé wọn kò mọ ohun tí i ṣe. Mose sì wí fún wọn pé, “Èyí ni oúnjẹ tí Olúwa fi fún un yín láti jẹ.
16 This is what the Lord has ordered you to do: ‘All of you shall collect as much as is needed. Take an omer for each person in your tent.’”
Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ, ‘Kí olúkúlùkù máa kó èyí ti ó tó fún un láti jẹ. Ẹ mú òsùwọ̀n omeri kan fún ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan ti ó wà nínú àgọ́ yín.’”
17 So the Israelites did as they were told. Some collected more, while others collected less.
Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì ṣe bí a ti sọ fún wọn; àwọn kan kó púpọ̀, àwọn kan kó kékeré.
18 But when they measured it out in omers, those who had collected a lot didn't have any left over, while those who had only collected a little still had enough. Each person collected gathered as much as they needed to eat.
Nígbà tí wọ́n fi òsùwọ̀n omeri wọ̀n-ọ́n, ẹni tí ó kó púpọ̀ kò ní púpọ̀ jù, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ẹni tí ó kó ìwọ̀nba kò ní kéré jù. Ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan kó ìwọ̀nba ti ó tó fún un.
19 Then Moses said to them, “No one is to leave any of it until the morning.”
Mose sì wí fún wọ́n pé, “Kí ẹnikẹ́ni ó má ṣe kó pamọ́ lára rẹ̀ di òwúrọ̀ ọjọ́ kejì.”
20 But some didn't listen to Moses. They did leave some of it until the morning, and it was full of maggots and smelled bad. Moses became angry with them.
Ṣùgbọ́n, àwọn kan nínú wọn kò fetí sí Mose, wọ́n kó lára rẹ̀ pamọ́ di òwúrọ̀ ọjọ́ kejì, ohun ti wọ́n kó pamọ́ kún fún ìdin, ó sì ti bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní rùn. Nítorí náà Mose bínú sí wọn.
21 So each morning everyone collected as much as they needed, and when the sun became hot, it melted away to nothing.
Ní òwúrọ̀, ni ojoojúmọ́ ni ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan ń lọ kó ìwọ̀nba ti ó tó fún un láti jẹ, bí oòrùn bá sì mú, a sì yọ́.
22 However, on the sixth day, they collected twice as much of this food, two omers for each person. All the Israelite leaders came and told Moses what they had done.
Ní ọjọ́ kẹfà, wọ́n kó ìlọ́po méjì èyí tiwọn ń kó tẹ́lẹ̀: òsùwọ̀n omeri méjì fún ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan; àwọn olórí ìjọ ènìyàn sì wá, wọ́n sì sọ èyí fún Mose.
23 Moses replied, “These are the Lord's instructions: ‘Tomorrow is a special day of rest, a holy Sabbath to honor the Lord. So bake what you want, and boil what you want. Then put to one side what's left and keep it until morning.’”
Ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa pàṣẹ: ‘Ọ̀la jẹ́ ọjọ́ ìsinmi, ìsinmi mímọ́ fún Olúwa. Ẹ yan èyí ti ẹ̀yin ní yan, kí ẹ sì bọ èyí ti ẹ̀yin ní bọ̀. Ẹ tọ́jú èyí ti ó kù sílẹ̀, kí ẹ pa á mọ́ di òwúrọ̀.’”
24 So they kept it until morning as Moses had ordered, and it didn't smell bad or have any maggots.
Wọ́n sì tọ́jú rẹ̀ di òwúrọ̀ bí Mose ti pàṣẹ; kò sì rùn bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò sì ní ìdin.
25 Moses told them, “Eat it today, because today is a Sabbath to honor the Lord. Today you won't find anything out there.
Mose sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ jẹ ẹ́ ní òní nítorí òní jẹ́ ọjọ́ ìsinmi Olúwa. Ẹ̀yin kò ni rí i ni orí ilẹ̀ ní ọjọ́ òní.
26 You can go out collecting for six days, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, it won't be there.”
Ní ọjọ́ mẹ́fà ni kí ẹ fi kó o, ṣùgbọ́n ni ọjọ́ keje ọjọ́ ìsinmi, kò ní sí i fún un yín ni ọjọ́ náà.”
27 However, on the seventh day some people still went out collecting, but they did not find anything.
Síbẹ̀síbẹ̀ àwọn ènìyàn kan jáde lọ ní ọjọ́ keje láti kó o, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò ri nǹkan kan kó.
28 The Lord told Moses, “How long are you going to refuse to obey my commands and instructions?
Olúwa sì sọ fún Mose pé, “Yóò ti pẹ́ tó ti ẹ ó kọ̀ láti pa àṣẹ mi àti ìlànà mi mọ́?
29 You need to understand that the Lord has given you the Sabbath, so on the sixth day he will provide you with food for two days. On the seventh day, everyone has to stay where they are—no one needs to go out.”
Wò ó? Olúwa ti fún un yín ni ọjọ́ ìsinmi, nítorí náà, ni ọjọ́ kẹfà, ó fún un yín ni oúnjẹ ọjọ́ méjì; kí ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan dúró ni ibi tí ó gbé wà; kí ẹ má ṣe kúrò ni ibi tí ẹ wà ni ọjọ́ keje.”
30 So the people did no work on the seventh day.
Nítorí náà, àwọn ènìyàn sinmi ní ọjọ́ keje.
31 The Israelites called the food manna. It was white like coriander seed and tasted like wafers with honey.
Àwọn ènìyàn Israẹli sì pe oúnjẹ náà ní manna. Ó funfun bí irúgbìn korianderi, ó sì dùn bí àkàrà fẹ́lẹ́fẹ́lẹ́ ti a fi oyin ṣe.
32 Moses said, “This is what the Lord has ordered: ‘Keep an omer of manna as a reminder for future generations, so that they can see the food I used to feed you in the desert when I led you out of Egypt.’”
Mose wí pé, “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa pàṣẹ, ‘Ẹ mú òsùwọ̀n omeri manna kí ẹ sì pa á mọ́ de àwọn ìran ti ń bọ̀, kí wọn kí ó lè rí oúnjẹ ti èmi fi fún un yín jẹ ní ijù, nígbà tí mo mú un yín jáde ni ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.’”
33 So Moses told Aaron, “Take a jar and put an omer of manna in it. Then place it before the Lord to be kept as a reminder for future generations.”
Nígbà náà ni Mose sọ fún Aaroni pe, “Mú ìkòkò kan, kí o sì kó manna tí ó kún òsùwọ̀n omeri kan sí inú rẹ̀, kí o sì gbé e kalẹ̀ ni iwájú Olúwa láti tọ́jú rẹ̀ pamọ́ de àwọn ìran ti ń bọ̀.”
34 Aaron did so and placed the jar in front of the Testimony, to be preserved just as the Lord had ordered Moses.
Bí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ fún Mose, Aaroni gbé manna sí iwájú ẹ̀rí láti pa á mọ́.
35 The Israelites ate manna forty years, until they came to the land where they would settle down—they ate manna until they arrived at the border of Canaan.
Àwọn ará Israẹli jẹ manna fún ogójì ọdún títí wọ́n fi dé ilẹ̀ Kenaani ni ibi ti èso ti wà fún wọn láti jẹ, wọ́n jẹ manna títí tí wọ́n fi dé ilẹ̀ agbègbè Kenaani.
36 (An omer is a tenth of an ephah.)
(Òsùwọ̀n omeri kan sì jẹ́ ìdákan nínú ìdámẹ́wàá efa.)
