Exodus 16
1 And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt.
Pambuyo pake gulu lonse la Aisraeli linachoka ku Elimu, ndipo pa tsiku la khumi ndi chisanu mwezi wachiwiri chichokere mʼdziko la Igupto, anafika ku chipululu cha Sini chimene chinali pakati pa Elimu ndi Sinai.
2 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness;
Mʼchipululumo gulu lonse linadandaulira Mose ndi Aaroni
3 and the children of Israel said unto them: 'Would that we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh-pots, when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.'
kuti, “Kukanakhala bwino Yehova akanatiphera mʼdziko la Igupto! Kumeneko timadya nyama ndi buledi mpaka kukhuta, koma inu mwabwera nafe ku chipululu kudzapha mpingo wonsewu ndi njala!”
4 Then said the LORD unto Moses: 'Behold, I will cause to rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a day's portion every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in My law, or not.
Ndipo Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Ine ndidzakupatsani buledi wogwa kuchokera kumwamba ngati mvula. Anthu azituluka tsiku lililonse kukatola buledi wokwanira tsiku limenelo. Ine ndidzawayesa mʼnjira imeneyi kuti ndione ngati adzatsatira malangizo anga.
5 And it shall come to pass on the sixth day that they shall prepare that which they bring in, and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.'
Pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chimodzi, pamene azidzakonza buledi amene abwera naye, adzapeza kuti ndi wokwanira masiku awiri.”
6 And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel: 'At even, then ye shall know that the LORD hath brought you out from the land of Egypt;
Kotero Mose ndi Aaroni anati kwa Aisraeli onse, “Nthawi yamadzulo inu mudzadziwa kuti ndi Yehova amene anakutulutsani mʼdziko la Igupto.
7 and in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of the LORD; for that He hath heard your murmurings against the LORD; and what are we, that ye murmur against us?'
Ndipo mmawa mudzaona ulemerero wa Yehova pakuti wamva kudandaula kwanu. Kodi ife ndi yani kuti muzitidandaulira?”
8 And Moses said: 'This shall be, when the LORD shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the LORD heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against Him; and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against the LORD.'
Mose anati, “Yehova adzakupatsani nyama madzulo aliwonse ndi buledi mmawa uliwonse kuti mukhute chifukwa Iye wamva madandawulo anu. Nanga ife ndi yani? Kudandaula kwanu simudandaulira ife, koma Yehova.”
9 And Moses said unto Aaron: 'Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel: Come near before the LORD; for He hath heard your murmurings.'
Kenaka Mose anawuza Aaroni kuti, “Uza gulu lonse la Aisraeli kuti, ‘Bwerani pamaso pa Yehova pakuti wamva kudandaula kwanu.’”
10 And it came to pass, as Aaron spoke unto the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud.
Pamene Aaroni amayankhula ndi gulu lonse la Aisraeli, iwo anayangʼana ku chipululu, ndipo ulemerero wa Yehova umaoneka mu mtambo.
11 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
Yehova anati kwa Mose,
12 'I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel. Speak unto them, saying: At dusk ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God.'
“Ine ndamva kudandaula kwa Aisraeli. Awuze kuti, ‘Madzulo mudzadya nyama ndipo mmawa mudzakhuta buledi. Pamenepo mudzadziwa kuti ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu.’”
13 And it came to pass at even, that the quails came up, and covered the camp; and in the morning there was a layer of dew round about the camp.
Madzulo amenewo panatuluka zinziri zimene zinali ponseponse pa misasa yawo, ndipo mmawa panali mame kuzungulira misasa yawo.
14 And when the layer of dew was gone up, behold upon the face of the wilderness a fine, scale-like thing, fine as the hoar-frost on the ground.
Mamewo atachoka, pa nthaka mʼchipululumo panaoneka tinthu tina topyapyala komanso totuwa ngati chipale.
15 And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another: 'What is it?' — for they knew not what it was. And Moses said unto them: 'It is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat.
Aisraeli atationa anafunsana wina ndi mnzake nati, “Kodi timeneti nʼchiyani?” Popeza sanatidziwe. Mose anawawuza kuti, “Uyu ndi buledi amene Yehova wakupatsani kuti mudye.
16 This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded: Gather ye of it every man according to his eating; an omer a head, according to the number of your persons, shall ye take it, every man for them that are in his tent.'
Yehova walamula kuti, ‘Aliyense atole zomukwanira kudya, malita awiri pa munthu mmodzi molingana ndi chiwerengero cha anthu amene ali mu tenti yanu.’”
17 And the children of Israel did so, and gathered some more, some less.
Aisraeli anachita zonse anawawuza. Ena anatola zambiri ena zochepa.
18 And when they did mete it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating.
Ndipo iwo atayeza ndi muyeso wa malita awiri, iye amene anatola zambiri sizinamutsalireko ndipo amene anatola pangʼono sizinamuchepere. Aliyense anatola zomukwanira kudya.
19 And Moses said unto them: 'Let no man leave of it till the morning.'
Ndipo Mose anawawuza kuti, “Wina aliyense asasunge mpaka mmawa.”
20 Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and rotted; and Moses was wroth with them.
Komabe ena sanamvere Mose, anasungako mpaka mmawa. Koma mmawa mwake tonse tinali mphutsi zokhazokha. Kotero Mose anawapsera mtima.
21 And they gathered it morning by morning, every man according to his eating; and as the sun waxed hot, it melted.
Mmawa uliwonse aliyense amatola zimene amazifuna, ndipo dzuwa likatentha zimasungunuka.
22 And it came to pass that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one; and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.
Tsiku lachisanu ndi chimodzi anatuta malita anayi munthu aliyense, ndipo atsogoleri a mpingo wonse anabwera kudzawuza Mose za zimenezi.
23 And he said unto them: 'This is that which the LORD hath spoken: To-morrow is a solemn rest, a holy sabbath unto the LORD. Bake that which ye will bake, and seethe that which ye will seethe; and all that remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.'
Iye anawawuza kuti, “Izi ndi zimene Yehova analamula, ‘Mawa ndi tsiku lopumula, Sabata Loyera la Yehova, choncho wotchani ndi kuphika zimene mukufuna. Sungani zotsala mpaka mmawa.’”
24 And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade; and it did not rot, neither was there any worm therein.
Choncho anasunga mpaka mmawa monga Mose anawalamulira, ndipo sananunkhe kapena kuchita mphutsi.
25 And Moses said: 'Eat that to-day; for to-day is a sabbath unto the LORD; to-day ye shall not find it in the field.
Mose anati, “Idyani lero chifukwa lero ndi Sabata la Yehova. Lero simukapeza chilichonse kunjaku.
26 Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.'
Muzitola chakudya masiku asanu ndi limodzi koma tsiku la chisanu ndi chiwiri ndi la Sabata, simukapeza chilichonse kunjaku.”
27 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that there went out some of the people to gather, and they found none.
Komabe anthu ena anapita kuti akatole chakudya tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri, koma sanapeze kanthu.
28 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'How long refuse ye to keep My commandments and My laws?
Ndipo Yehova anafunsa Mose nati, “Kodi inu muzipitirira kukana kusunga malamulo ndi malangizo anga mpaka liti?
29 See that the LORD hath given you the sabbath; therefore He giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.'
Taonani, popeza Yehova wakupatsani Sabata nʼchifukwa chake tsiku lachisanu ndi chimodzi amakupatsani chakudya cha masiku awiri. Aliyense azikhala pamene ali pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri, pasapezeke wotuluka kunja.”
30 So the people rested on the seventh day.
Kotero anthu anapuma tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri.
31 And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna; and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.
Aisraeli anatchula chakudyacho Mana. Chakudyacho chinkaoneka ngati mbewu zamapira, zoyera. Ndipo chinkakoma ngati chothira uchi.
32 And Moses said: 'This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded: Let an omerful of it be kept throughout your generations; that they may see the bread wherewith I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.'
Mose anati, “Chimene Yehova walamula ndi ichi: ‘Tengani muyeso wa malita awiri a mana ndi kusungira mibado imene ikubwera, kuti iwo adzaone chakudya chimene Ine ndinakupatsani kuti mudye mʼchipululu pamene ndinakutulutsani mʼdziko la Igupto.’”
33 And Moses said unto Aaron: 'Take a jar, and put an omerful of manna therein, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept throughout your generations.'
Choncho Mose anati kwa Aaroni, “Tenga mtsuko ndipo uyikemo malita awiri a mana. Ndipo uyike manawo pamaso pa Yehova kusungira mibado imene ikubwera.”
34 As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
Monga momwe Yehova analamulira Mose, Aaroni anayika mtsuko uja pafupi ndi bokosi la Chipangano kuti manawo asungike.
35 And the children of Israel did eat the manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited; they did eat the manna, until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan.
Aisraeli anadya mana zaka 40, mpaka pamene anafika ku dziko kumene amati akakhazikeko. Iwo anadya mana mpaka pamene anafika mʼmalire a Kanaani.
36 Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
(Malita awiri amafanana ndi gawo lakhumi la efa).
