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.
Watu wakaendelea na safari kutoka Elimu, na jamii yote ya Waisraeli ikaja nyikani mwa Sinu, iliyopo katikati ya Elimu na Sinai, siku ya kumi na tano ya mwezi wa pili walipo toka Misri.
2 And the whole Congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wildernesse.
Jamii yote ya Waisraeli wali walalamikia Musa na Aruni nyikani.
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 waliwaambia, “Kama tu tungekufa kwa mkono wa Yahweh nchi ya Misri tulipo kuwa tumeketi kwenye vyombo vya nyama na tulikuwa tunakula mkate kwa tele. Maana umetuleta nyikani uuwe jamii zetu zote 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 Yahweh akamwambia Musa, “Nitakunyeshea mvua ya mkate. Watu wataenda na kukusanya kiasi cha siku kila siku ili niwajaribu kama wataendelea kushika sheria yangu au hapana.
5 But the sixt daye they shall prepare that, which they shall bring home, and it shalbe twise as much as they gather dayly.
Itakuja kuwa siku ya sita, kwamba watakusanya mara mbili zaidi ya wanavyo kusanyaga, na watapika wanacholeta.”
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:
Kisha Musa na Aruni wakawaambia watu wote wa Israeli, “Jioni mtajua kuwa ni Yahweh aliye waleta kutoka nchi ya 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?
Asubui utaona utukufu wa Yahweh, kwa maana anasikia mna mlalamikia. Sisi ni nani hadi mtulalamikie?”
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.
Musa pia akasema, “Utajua hili pale Yahweh atakapo kupa nyama jioni na mkate asubui kwa tele - kwa kuwa amesikia malalamishi mnayo tamka dhidi yake. Nani ni Aruni na mimi? Malalamishi yenu sio dhidi yetu; ni dhidi ya Yahweh.”
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.
Musa akamwambia Aruni, “Sema kwa jamii yote ya watu wa Israeli, 'Njoo karibu ya Yahweh, kwa kuwa amesikia malalamishi 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.
Ikawa, Aruni alipo sema na jamii yote ya watu wa Israeli, wakaangalia kuelekea nyikani, na, tazama, utukufu wa Yahweh ukatokea kwenye wingu.
11 (For the Lord had spoken vnto Moses, saying,
Kisha Yahweh akasema na Musa na kumwambia,
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 malalamishi ya watu wa Israeli. Sema nao na useme, 'Jioni utakula nyama, na asubui utashiba mkate. Kisha utajua mimi ni Yahweh Mungu wako.'”
13 And so at euen the quailes came and couered the campe: and in the morning the dewe lay round about the hoste.
Ikaja kuwa kwamba jioni kware wakaja juu na kufunika kambi. Asubui umande ulitanda kambini.
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.
Umande ulipo kwisha, pale juu ya ardhi ya nyikani kulikuwa na kama barafu iliyo ganda kwenye ardhi.
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.
Watu wa Israeli walipo ona, walisema mmoja kwa mwenzake, “Hii ni nini?” Hawakujua ilikuwa ni nini. Musa akawaambia, “Ni mkate Yahweh aliyo wapa 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.
Hii ni amri Yahweh aliyotoa: 'Lazima ukusanye, kila mmoja wenu, kiasi unacho itaji kula, lita mbili kwa kila mtu. Hivi ndivyo utakavyo kusanya: Kusanya cha kutosha kula cha kila mtu anaye ishi hemani mwako.'”
17 And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some lesse.
Watu wa Israeli wakafanya hivyo. Baadhi wakakusanya zaidi, baadhi wakakusanya kidogo.
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.
Walipo pima kwa kipimo cha lita, hao walio kusanya zaidi hawakuwa na kilicho salia, na hao walio kusanya kidogo hawakuwa na pungufu. Kila mmoja alikusanya cha kutosha kukidhi maitaji yake.
19 Moses then said vnto them, Let no man reserue thereof till morning.
Kisha Musa akawaambia, “Hakuna ata mmoja kubakiza hadi asubui.”
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.
Walakini, hawakumsikiliza Musa. Baadhi yao waliacha baadhi hadi asubui, lakini ilizalisha wadudu na kuwa batili. Kisha Musa akawa na hasira juu yao.
21 And they gathered it euery morning, euery man according to his eating: for when the heate of the sunne came, it was melted.
Walikusanya asubui kwa asubui. Kila mtu alikusanya cha kutosha kula kwa hiyo siku. Jua lilipo kuwa kali, ili yayuka.
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 walikusanya mkate mara mbili zaidi, lita mbili kwa kila mtu. Viongozi wote wa jamii walikuja na kumwambia hili kwa Musa.
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.
Aliwaambia, “Hili ndilo Yahweh alililo lisema: 'Kesho ni mapumziko ya kujiliwaza, sabato takatifu kwa utukufu wa Yahweh. Oka kile unataka kuoka, na chemsha kile unataka kuchemsha. Vyote vitakavyo baki, jihifadhie hadi asubui.”'
24 And they laied it vp till the morning, as Moses bade, and it stanke not, neyther was there any worme therein.
Hivyo wakaeka pembeni hadi asubui, kama Musa alivyo elekeza. Haikuharibika, wala haikuwa na mdudu yeyote.
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.
Musa alisema, “Kula hicho cha kula leo, kwa kuwa leo ni siku iliyo tengwa ya kumtukuza Yahweh. Leo hamtaikuta mashambani.
26 Sixe dayes shall yee gather it, but in the seuenth day is the Sabbath: in it there shalbe none.
Mtaikusanya ndani ya siku sita, lakini siku ya saba ni Sabato. Siku ya Sabato hakuta kuwa na manna.”
27 Notwithstanding, there went out some of the people in ye seuenth day for to gather, and they found none.
Ilikuja kuwa siku ya saba ambapo baadhi ya watu walienda kukusanya manna, lakini hawakukuta
28 And the Lord sayde vnto Moses, Howe long refuse yee to keepe my commandements, and my lawes?
Kisha Yahweh akamwambia Musa, Kwa muda gani utaendelea kukataa kushika amri zangu na sheria zangu?
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.
Tazama, Yahweh amekupa Sabato. Hivyo siku ya sita anakupa mkate wa siku mbili. Kila mmoja wenu lazima akae kwenye sehemu yake; hakuna hata mmoja wa kutoka sehemu yake siku ya saba.”
30 So the people rested the seuenth day.
Hivyo watu watapumzika 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 walikiita chakula kile “manna.” Ilikuwa ni nyeupe kama mbegu ya mgiligani, na ladha yake kama maandazi yaliyo pikwa na 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.
Musa akasema, “Hili ndilo Yahweh alilo amuru: 'Acha lita mbili ya manna ihifadhiwe kwa ajili vizazi vya watu wako ili kwamba uzao wako uone mkate niliyo kulisha nyikani, baada ya kukutoa kutoka 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.
Musa akamwambia Aruni, “Chukuwa jagi na uweke lita mbili za manna ndani yake. Hifadhi kwa Yahweh i dumu vizazi vyote vya watu.”
34 As the Lord commanded Moses, so Aaron laied it vp before the Testimonie to be kept.
Kama Yahweh alivyo muamuru Musa, Aruni akahifadhi pembeni mwa mawe yaliyo kuwa na amri za agano.
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.
Watu wa Israeli walikula manna miaka arobaini mpaka walipo kuja nchi yenye watu. Walikula mpaka walipo fika kwenye mipaka ya nchi ya Kanani.
36 The Omer is the tenth part of the Ephah.
Lita mbili ni makumi ya efa.
