< Exodus 16 >

1 They took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came to 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.
Apre sa, tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo pati kite Elim, yo rive nan dezè yo rele Sin lan, ant Elim ak mòn Sinayi. Lè yo rive la, yo te gen yon mwa kenz jou depi yo te pati kite Lejip.
2 The whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness;
Yo tout pran bougonnen sou do Moyiz ak Arawon nan dezè a.
3 and the children of Israel said to them, "We wish that we had died by the hand of Jehovah in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the meat pots, when we ate our fill of bread, for you have brought us out into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger."
Yo t'ap di yo: -Poukisa Seyè a pa t' tou touye nou nan peyi Lejip la? Lè sa a, nou te konn chita devan bòl vyann nou, nou te konn manje pen plen vant nou. Men, ou menm ak Arawon, nou mennen nou nan dezè sa a pou fè tout kantite moun sa yo mouri grangou.
4 Then said Jehovah to Moses, "Look, I will rain bread from heaven for you, and the people shall go out and gather a day's portion every day, that I may test them, whether they will walk in my law, or not.
Seyè a di Moyiz konsa: -Mwen pral fè pen tonbe soti nan syèl la pou nou tankou grenn lapli. Pèp la va soti chak jou pou l' ranmase mezi li bezwen pou jounen an. Konsa, m'a gade pou m' wè si wi ou non yo vle mache sou lòd mwen vre.
5 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."
Chak sizyèm jou nan senmenn lan, y'a ranmase de fwa lavalè sa yo konn ranmase lòt jou yo, y'a pare mete la.
6 Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, "At evening, then you shall know that Jehovah has brought you out from the land of Egypt;
Moyiz ak Arawon di tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo: -Aswè a n'a konnen se Seyè a ki te fè nou pati kite peyi Lejip.
7 and in the morning, then you shall see the glory of Jehovah, because he has heard your murmurings against God. Who are we, that you murmur against us?"
Denmen maten, n'a wè ki kalite pouvwa Seyè a genyen. Li tande jan n'ap bougonnen sou do li. Paske mwen menm ak Arawon, kisa nou ye pou se sou nou n'ap bougonnen konsa? Se sou Bondye n'ap bougonnen.
8 Moses said, "Now Jehovah shall give you meat to eat in the evening, and in the morning bread to satisfy you; because Jehovah hears your murmurings which you murmur against him. And who are we? Your murmurings are not against us, but against God."
Apre sa, Moyiz di yo: -Se Seyè a k'ap ban nou vyann pou nou manje chak swa. Se li k'ap ban nou kantite pen nou bezwen chak maten, paske Seyè a tande tout bougonnen n'ap bougonnen sou li a. Nou menm, kisa nou ye? Se pa sou nou n'ap bougonnen, men se sou Seyè a n'ap bougonnen.
9 Moses said to Aaron, "Tell all the congregation of the children of Israel, 'Come near before God, for he has heard your murmurings.'"
Lè sa a Moyiz di Arawon: -Men sa pou ou di tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo: Pwoche vin devan Seyè a paske li tande jan n'ap plenyen an.
10 It happened, as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and look, the glory of Jehovah appeared in the cloud.
Pandan Arawon t'ap pale ak tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo, yo vire tèt yo bò dezè a, yo wè pouvwa Bondye a parèt nan nwaj la.
11 Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Seyè a di Moyiz:
12 "I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel. Speak to them, saying, 'At evening you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread: and you shall know that I am Jehovah your God.'"
-Mwen tande jan moun pèp Izrayèl yo ap plenyen. Men sa pou ou di yo: Aswè a, anvan li fin fè nwa, n'a gen vyann pou nou manje. Denmen maten, n'a gen pen kantite nou bezwen. Lè sa a, n'a konnen se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki Bondye nou.
13 It happened at evening that quail came up and covered the camp; and in the morning the dew lay around the camp.
Nan aswè, zòtolan vini, yo kouvri tout kote yo te moute tant yo a. Nan maten, te gen yon kouch lawouze toutalantou kote pèp la te moute tant yo a.
14 When the dew that lay had gone, look, on the surface of the wilderness was a small round thing, small as the frost on the ground.
Lè lawouze a disparèt, li kite yon kwout tou blan atè nan dezè a. Kwout la te fen, li te plen ti grenn tankou sèl, li te kouvri tout atè a.
15 When the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, "What is it?" For they did not know what it was. Moses said to them, "It is the bread which Jehovah has given you to eat."
Lè moun pèp Izrayèl yo wè sa, yo pa t' konn sa l' te ye. Yonn t'ap di lòt: -Sa sa ye sa? Moyiz di yo: -Sa a, se pen Seyè a ban nou pou nou manje.
16 This is the thing which Jehovah has commanded: "Gather of it everyone according to his eating; an omer a head, according to the number of your persons, you shall take it, every man for those who are in his tent."
Men lòd Seyè a ban nou: Se pou chak moun ranmase mezi yo bezwen pou kantite moun ki lakay yo. N'a ranmase twa ti mamit edmi pou chak moun.
17 The children of Israel did so, and gathered some more, some less.
Moun pèp Izrayèl yo fè sa Moyiz te di yo fè a. Gen moun ki te ranmase plis, gen lòt ki te ranmase pi piti.
18 When they measured it with an omer, he who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack. They gathered every man according to his eating.
Men, lè yo mezire, sa ki te ranmase plis yo pa t' gen twòp, sa ki te ranmase pi piti yo pa t' manke anyen. Konsa, chak moun te ranmase mezi yo te bezwen pou yo manje.
19 Moses said to them, "Let no one leave of it until the morning."
Moyiz di yo: -Piga pesonn sere anyen pou denmen.
20 Notwithstanding they did not listen to Moses, but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and became foul: and Moses was angry with them.
Men gen moun ki pa t' koute Moyiz. Yo sere ti gout pou denmen maten. Nan denmen yo jwenn li plen vè, li te gate. Moyiz te fache sou moun sa yo.
21 They gathered it morning by morning, everyone according to his eating. When the sun grew hot, it melted.
Chak maten yo ranmase mezi yo te bezwen pou yo manje. Men, kou solèy la konmanse cho, bagay la te fonn.
22 It happened that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one, and all the leaders of the congregation came and told Moses.
Sizyèm jou nan senmenn lan, yo te ranmase de fwa lavalè sa yo te konn ranmase chak jou a. Yo te ranmase sèt ti mamit pou chak moun. Tout chèf fanmi ki te alatèt pèp la vin di Moyiz sa.
23 He said to them, "This is that which Jehovah has spoken, 'Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy Sabbath to Jehovah. Bake that which you want to bake, and boil that which you want to boil; and all that remains over lay up for yourselves to be kept until the morning.'"
Moyiz reponn yo: -Men lòd Seyè a te bay: Denmen se jou repo, se jou repo ki apa pou Seyè a. Kwit sa nou gen pou nou kwit. Bouyi sa nou gen pou nou bouyi. N'a sere rès la pou denmen.
24 They laid it up until the morning, as Moses asked, and it did not become foul, neither was there any worm in it.
Jan Moyiz te ba yo lòd la, yo sere rès la pou denmen. Li pa t' gate, vè pa t' tonbe ladan l'.
25 Moses said, "Eat that today, for today is a Sabbath to Jehovah. Today you shall not find it in the field.
Moyiz di yo: -Nou mèt manje rès la jòdi a, paske jòdi a se jou repo yo mete apa pou Seyè a. Jòdi a nou p'ap jwenn anyen deyò a.
26 Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day is the Sabbath. In it there shall be none."
Pandan sis premye jou senmenn lan n'a jwenn pou n' ranmase. Men setyèm jou a, jou repo a, nou p'ap jwenn anyen pou nou ranmase.
27 It happened on the seventh day, that some of the people went out to gather, and they found none.
Setyèm jou a, gen kek moun nan pèp la ki te soti al ranmase manje, men yo pa jwenn anyen.
28 Jehovah said to Moses, "How long do you refuse to keep my commandments and my laws?
Lè sa a, Seyè a di Moyiz: -Kilè n'a sispann dezobeyi lòd ak kòmandman mwen yo?
29 Look, because Jehovah has given you the Sabbath, therefore he gives you on the sixth day the bread of two days. Everyone stay in his place. Let no one go out of his place on the seventh day."
Konprann sa byen, se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki te ban nou jou repo sa a. Se poutèt sa, sou sizyèm jou nan senmenn lan, mwen ban nou manje valè pou de jou. Nan setyèm jou senmenn lan, se pou tout moun rete kote yo ye a. Piga pesonn mete tèt deyò.
30 So the people rested on the seventh day.
Se konsa, lè setyèm jou a rive, pèp la pa fè ankenn travay.
31 The house of Israel called its name Manna, and it was like coriander seed, white; and its taste was like wafers with honey.
Pèp Izrayèl la rele manje a laman. Li te gen fòm grenn pitimi. Li te tou blan, li te gen menm gou ak gato ki fèt ak siwo myèl.
32 Moses said, "This is the thing which Jehovah has commanded, 'Let an omer-full of it be kept throughout your generations, that they may see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.'"
Moyiz di yo: -Men lòd Seyè a ban nou. Se pou nou sere twa ti mamit edmi plen laman pou pitit pitit nou yo. Konsa y'a wè ki kalite manje mwen te konn ban nou nan dezè a, lè mwen te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip la.
33 Moses said to Aaron, "Take a jar, and put an omer-full of manna in it, and place it before God, to be kept throughout your generations."
Apre sa Moyiz di Arawon: -Pran yon ti ja, mete twa ti mamit edmi laman ladan l'. Mete l' devan Seyè a pou l' ka rete pou pitit pitit nou yo.
34 As Jehovah commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
Arawon fè sa Seyè a te bay Moyiz lòd fè a. Li mete ti ja a devan Bwat Kontra a, li sere l' la.
35 The children of Israel ate the manna forty years, until they came to an inhabited land. They ate the manna until they came to the borders of the land of Canaan.
Moun pèp Izrayèl yo pase karantan ap manje laman, jouk jou yo rive nan yon peyi kote yo jwenn moun rete. Kifè yo manje laman jouk yo rive sou fwontyè peyi Kanaran.
36 Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
Twa ti mamit edmi, se valè twaka yon gwo mamit. Trannsenk ti mamit fè yon gwo bidon.
