Exodus 16
1 Afterward all the Congregation of the children of Israel departed from Elim, and came to the wildernes of Sin, (which is betweene Elim and Sinai) the fiftenth day of the second moneth after their departing out of ye land of Egypt.
Jumuiya yote ya Kiisraeli ikaondoka Elimu, wakafika Jangwa la Sini, lililokuwa kati ya Elimu na Sinai, siku ya kumi na tano ya mwezi wa pili baada ya kutoka Misri.
2 And the whole Congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wildernesse.
Huko jangwani hiyo jumuiya yote wakawanungʼunikia Mose na Aroni.
3 For the children of Israel sayde to them, Oh that we had dyed by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when wee sate by the flesh pots, when wee ate bread our bellies full: for yee haue brought vs out into this wildernesse, to kill this whole company with famine.
Waisraeli wakawaambia, “Laiti tungelikufa kwa mkono wa Bwana huko Misri! Huko tuliketi tukizunguka masufuria ya nyama na tukala vyakula tulivyovitaka, lakini ninyi mmetuleta huku jangwani ili mpate kuua mkutano huu wote kwa njaa.”
4 Then sayd the Lord vnto Moses, Behold, I wil cause bread to rayne from heauen to you, and the people shall goe out, and gather that that is sufficient for euery day, that I may proue them, whether they wil walke in my Law or no.
Kisha Bwana akamwambia Mose, “Nitanyesha mikate kutoka mbinguni kwa ajili yenu. Watu watatoka kila siku na kukusanya kitakachowatosha kwa siku ile, kwa njia hii, nitawajaribu nione kama watafuata maelekezo yangu.
5 But the sixt daye they shall prepare that, which they shall bring home, and it shalbe twise as much as they gather dayly.
Siku ya sita watatayarisha kile waletacho ndani, nacho kitakuwa mara mbili kuliko ya kile walichokusanya kila siku.”
6 Then Moses and Aaron sayde vnto all the children of Israel, At euen ye shall know, that the Lord brought you out of the land of Egypt:
Kwa hiyo Mose na Aroni wakawaambia Waisraeli wote, “Jioni mtajua kwamba Bwana ndiye aliwatoa Misri,
7 And in the morning ye shall see the glorie of the Lord: for he hath heard your grudgings against the Lord: and what are we that ye haue murmured against vs?
kisha asubuhi mtauona utukufu wa Bwana, kwa sababu amesikia manungʼuniko yenu dhidi yake. Sisi ni nani hata mtunungʼunikie?”
8 Againe Moses sayd, At euen shall the Lord giue you flesh to eate, and in the morning your fil of bread: for the Lord hath heard your murmurings, which ye murmure against him: for what are we? your murmurings are not against vs, but against the Lord.
Pia Mose akasema, “Mtajua kuwa alikuwa Bwana wakati atakapowapa nyama mle ifikapo jioni na mikate yote mtakayohitaji asubuhi kwa sababu amesikia manungʼuniko yenu dhidi yake. Sisi ni nani? Hamnungʼuniki dhidi yetu, bali dhidi ya Bwana.”
9 And Moses sayd to Aaron, Say vnto all the Congregation of the children of Israel, Draw neere before the Lord: for he hath heard your murmurings.
Kisha Mose akamwambia Aroni, “Iambie jumuiya yote ya Waisraeli kwamba, ‘Mje mbele zake Bwana, kwa maana amesikia manungʼuniko yenu.’”
10 Now as Aaron spake vnto the whole Congregation of the children of Israel, they looked toward the wildernesse, and beholde, the glory of the Lord appeared in a cloude.
Aroni alipokuwa akizungumza na jumuiya yote ya Waisraeli, wakatazama kuelekea jangwani, na huko wakaona utukufu wa Bwana ukitokeza katika wingu.
11 (For the Lord had spoken vnto Moses, saying,
Bwana akamwambia Mose,
12 I haue heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: tell them therefore, and say, At euen ye shall eate flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread, and ye shall knowe that I am the Lord your God)
“Nimesikia manungʼuniko ya Waisraeli. Waambie, ‘Jioni mtakula nyama, na asubuhi mtashiba mikate. Ndipo mtajua ya kwamba Mimi ndimi Bwana Mungu wenu.’”
13 And so at euen the quailes came and couered the campe: and in the morning the dewe lay round about the hoste.
Jioni ile kware wakaja wakaifunika kambi na asubuhi kulikuwa na tabaka la umande kuzunguka kambi.
14 And when the dewe that was fallen was ascended, beholde, a small round thing was vpon the face of the wildernes, small as the hoare frost on the earth.
Wakati umande ulipoondoka, vipande vidogo vidogo kama theluji vilionekana juu ya uso wa jangwa.
15 And when the children of Israel sawe it, they sayde one to another, It is MAN, for they wist not what it was. And Moses sayd vnto them, This is the breade which the Lord hath giuen you to eate.
Waisraeli walipoona, wakaambiana, “Hiki ni nini?” Kwa kuwa hawakujua kilikuwa kitu gani. Mose akawaambia, “Huu ndio mkate ambao Bwana amewapa mle.
16 This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded: gather of it euery man according to his eating an Omer for a man according to the number of your persons: euery man shall take for them which are in his tent.
Hivi ndivyo Bwana alivyoamuru: ‘Kila mmoja akusanye kiasi anachohitaji. Chukueni pishi moja kwa kila mtu mliye naye katika hema yenu.’”
17 And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some lesse.
Waisraeli wakafanya kama walivyoambiwa, baadhi yao wakakusanya zaidi, wengine pungufu.
18 And when they did measure it with an Omer, hee that had gathered much, had nothing ouer, and he that had gathered litle, had no lacke: so euery man gathered according to his eating.
Nao walipopima katika pishi, yule aliyekusanya zaidi hakuwa na ziada, wala aliyekusanya kidogo hakupungukiwa. Kila mmoja alikusanya kiasi alichohitaji.
19 Moses then said vnto them, Let no man reserue thereof till morning.
Kisha Mose akawaambia, “Mtu yeyote asibakize chochote mpaka asubuhi.”
20 Notwithstanding they obeyed not Moses: but some of them reserued of it till morning, and it was full of wormes, and stanke: therefore Moses was angrie with them.
Hata hivyo, wengine hawakuzingatia aliyosema Mose, wakahifadhi kiasi fulani mpaka asubuhi, lakini kile alichohifadhi kikajaa mabuu na kuanza kunuka. Kwa hiyo Mose akawakasirikia.
21 And they gathered it euery morning, euery man according to his eating: for when the heate of the sunne came, it was melted.
Kila asubuhi, kila mmoja alikusanya kiasi alichohitaji na jua lilipokuwa kali, iliyeyuka.
22 And the sixt day they gathered twise so much bread, two Omers for one man: then all the rulers of the Congregation came and told Moses.
Siku ya sita, wakakusanya mara mbili, kiasi cha pishi mbili kwa kila mtu, nao viongozi wa jumuiya wakaja kumwarifu Mose.
23 And he answered them, This is that, which the Lord hath sayde, To morowe is the rest of the holy Sabbath vnto the Lord: bake that to day which ye wil bake, and seethe that which ye wil seethe, and all that remaineth, lay it vp to be kept till the morning for you.
Mose akawaambia, “Hivi ndivyo alivyoagiza Bwana: ‘Kesho itakuwa siku ya mapumziko, Sabato takatifu kwa Bwana. Kwa hiyo okeni kile mnachotaka kuoka na mchemshe kile mnachotaka kuchemsha. Hifadhini chochote kinachobaki na mkiweke mpaka asubuhi.’”
24 And they laied it vp till the morning, as Moses bade, and it stanke not, neyther was there any worme therein.
Kwa hiyo wakavihifadhi mpaka asubuhi, kama Mose alivyoagiza, na havikunuka wala kuwa na mabuu.
25 Then Moses sayde, Eate that to day: for to day is the Sabbath vnto the Lord: to day ye shall not finde it in the fielde.
Mose akawaambia, “Kuleni leo, kwa sababu leo ni Sabato kwa Bwana. Hamtapata chochote juu ya nchi leo.
26 Sixe dayes shall yee gather it, but in the seuenth day is the Sabbath: in it there shalbe none.
Kwa siku sita mtakusanya, lakini siku ya saba, yaani Sabato, hakutakuwepo chochote.”
27 Notwithstanding, there went out some of the people in ye seuenth day for to gather, and they found none.
Hata hivyo, baadhi ya watu wakatoka kwenda kukusanya siku ya saba, lakini hawakupata chochote.
28 And the Lord sayde vnto Moses, Howe long refuse yee to keepe my commandements, and my lawes?
Ndipo Bwana akamwambia Mose, “Je, mtaacha kushika maagizo na maelekezo yangu mpaka lini?
29 Beholde, howe the Lord hath giuen you the Sabbath: therefore he giueth you the sixt day bread for two dayes: tary therefore euery man in his place: let no man goe out of his place the seuenth day.
Fahamuni kuwa Bwana amewapa ninyi Sabato, ndiyo sababu katika siku ya sita amewapa mikate ya siku mbili. Kila mmoja inampasa kukaa pale alipo katika siku ya saba. Hata mmoja haruhusiwi kutoka.”
30 So the people rested the seuenth day.
Kwa hiyo watu wakapumzika siku ya saba.
31 And the house of Israel called the name of it, MAN. and it was like to coriander seede, but white: and the taste of it was like vnto wafers made with hony.
Watu wa Israeli wakaita ile mikate mana Ilikuwa myeupe kama mbegu za mtama na ladha yake ilikuwa kama mkate mwembamba uliotengenezwa kwa asali.
32 And Moses said, This is that which the Lord hath commanded, Fill an Omer of it, to keepe it for your posteritie: that they may see the bread wherewith I haue fed you in wildernesse, when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.
Mose akasema, “Hivi ndivyo alivyoagiza Bwana: ‘Chukueni pishi ya mana na kuhifadhi kwa ajili ya vizazi vijavyo ili vione mikate niliyowapa mle jangwani nilipowatoa katika nchi ya Misri.’”
33 Moses also said to Aaron, Take a pot and put an Omer full of MAN therein, and set it before the Lord to be kept for your posteritie.
Kwa hiyo Mose akamwambia Aroni, “Chukua gudulia na uweke pishi moja ya mana ndani yake. Kisha uweke mbele za Bwana ili kihifadhiwe kwa ajili ya vizazi vijavyo.”
34 As the Lord commanded Moses, so Aaron laied it vp before the Testimonie to be kept.
Kama Bwana alivyomwagiza Mose, hatimaye Aroni alikuja kuihifadhi ndani ya Sanduku la Ushuhuda.
35 And the children of Israel did eate MAN fourtie yeres, vntill they came vnto a land inhabited: they did eate MAN vntill they came to the borders of the land of Canaan.
Waisraeli wakala mana kwa miaka arobaini, mpaka walipofika katika nchi iliyokaliwa na watu; walikula mana hadi walipofika mpakani mwa Kanaani.
36 The Omer is the tenth part of the Ephah.
(Pishi moja ni sehemu ya kumi ya kipimo cha efa.)
