< 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.
Awo abaana ba Isirayiri, nga kibiina kinene, ne basitula okuva mu Erimu; ne batuuka mu ddungu lya Sini, eriri wakati wa Erimu ne Sinaayi, nga baakamala emyezi ebiri n’ennaku kkumi na ttaano kasookedde bava mu nsi y’e Misiri.
2 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness:
Nga bali mu ddungu eryo, ekibiina kyonna eky’abaana ba Isirayiri ne kyemulugunyiza Musa ne Alooni.
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.
Abaana ba Isirayiri ne babagamba nti, “Singa twasigala mu nsi y’e Misiri, Mukama n’atuttira eyo n’omukono gwe! Kubanga eyo twalyanga sefuliya z’ennyama, n’emmere nnyingi nga bwe twayagalanga, ne tukkuta; naye kaakano mutuleese mu ddungu lino, ekibiina kino kyonna kife enjala.”
4 Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, 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 prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no.
Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Nzija kubatonnyeseza emmere ng’eva mu ggulu. Abantu banaakuŋŋaanyanga buli lunaku ekitundu eky’olunaku olwo; ndyoke mbagezese ndabe obanga banaakwatanga amateeka gange, oba tebaagakwatenga.
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.
Ku lunaku olw’omukaaga bwe banaabanga bakuŋŋaanya emmere ey’olunaku olwo, bakuŋŋaanyanga eyenkanaankana n’ey’ennaku bbiri.”
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:
Awo Musa ne Alooni ne bagamba abaana ba Isirayiri bonna nti, “Obudde nga buwungeera, we munaategeerera nga Mukama ye yabaggya mu nsi y’e Misiri:
7 and in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of the LORD; for that he heareth your murmurings against the LORD: and what are we, that ye murmur against us?
ate enkya lwe munaalaba ekitiibwa kya Mukama, kubanga awulidde nga mumwemulugunyiza. Kubanga naffe ffe b’ani mmwe okutwemulugunyiza?”
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.
Musa n’ayongera okubagamba nti, “Mujja kwongera okutegeera Mukama, olweggulo nga buwungeera bw’anaabawa ennyama ne mulya, ate enkya n’abawa emmere ebamala: kubanga Mukama awulidde nga mumwemulugunyiza. Naffe ffe b’ani? Temwemulugunyiza ffe, wabula Mukama.”
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.
Awo Musa n’agamba Alooni nti, “Tegeeza ekibiina kyonna eky’abaana ba Isirayiri nti, ‘Musembere awali Mukama, kubanga awulidde okwemulungunya kwammwe!’”
10 And it came to pass, as Aaron spake 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.
Awo olwatuuka, Alooni bwe yali ng’akyategeeza ekibiina kyonna eky’abaana ba Isirayiri, ne batunula mu ddungu; era, laba, ekitiibwa kya Mukama ne kirabikira mu kire.
11 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Mukama n’ayogera ne Musa, ng’agamba nti,
12 I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, At even 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.
“Mpulidde okwemulugunya kw’abaana ba Isirayiri. Bagambe nti, ‘Obudde nga buwungeera munaalya ennyama, n’enkya munakkusibwa emmere. Bwe mutyo munaategeera nga nze Mukama Katonda wammwe.’”
13 And it came to pass at even, that the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the camp.
Obudde nga buwungeera enkwale ne zijja ne zijjula olusiisira; ne mu makya ne wabaawo omusulo ku ttaka mu lusiisira.
14 And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness a small round thing, small as the hoar frost on the ground.
Omusulo nga gwamuse ng’obudde bukaze, laba, ku ttaka ne kulabikako obuntu obutono obwekulungirivu obufaanana ng’omusulo ogukutte olw’obunnyogovu obungi.
15 And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, What is it? for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, It is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat.
Abaana ba Isirayiri bwe baabulaba ne beebuzaganya nti, “Kiki kino?” Kubanga baali tebakimanyi. Musa n’abategeeza nti, “Eno ye mmere Mukama gy’abawadde okulya.
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 which are in his tent.
Mukama alagidde bw’ati nti, ‘Buli muntu akuŋŋaanye gy’anaamalawo. Buli muntu ali mu weema zammwe mumukuŋŋaanyize kilo bbiri.’”
17 And the children of Israel did so, and gathered some more, some less.
Abaana ba Isirayiri ne bakola nga bwe baalagirwa; abamu ne bakuŋŋaanya nnyingi, n’abalala ntono.
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.
Bwe baagipimiranga mu kabakuli aka oma, ze lita ebbiri, oyo eyali akuŋŋaanyizza ennyingi teyasukkirizanga, n’oyo ow’entono nga teyeeseera. Buli muntu yakuŋŋaanyanga ng’okwetaaga kwe bwe kwabanga.
19 And Moses said unto them, Let no man leave of it till the morning.
Musa n’abagamba nti, “Tewabaawo omuntu n’omu agifissaako okutuusa enkeera.”
20 Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank: and Moses was wroth with them.
Kyokka abamu Musa tebaamufaako; ne beeterekerako okutuusa enkeera; n’ezaala envunyu, era n’ewunya. Musa n’abasunguwalira.
21 And they gathered it morning by morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it melted.
Buli nkya ne bakuŋŋaanyanga buli omu gye yayinzanga okulya nga anaagimalawo; naye akasana bwe kaayakanga nga kakazizza, n’esaanuuka.
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.
Awo ku lunaku olw’omukaaga ne bakuŋŋaanya emmere ya mirundi ebiri, ze kilo nnya buli muntu; abakulembeze bonna mu kibiina ne bajja ne bategeeza Musa.
23 And he said unto them, This is that which the LORD hath spoken, Tomorrow 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.
N’abagamba nti, “Mukama yalagidde bw’ati nti, ‘Enkya lunaaba lunaku lwa kuwummula, ye Ssabbiiti ya Mukama Entukuvu. Leero mwokye emmere yammwe gye mwetaaga okwokya, era mufumbe gye mwagala okufumba; eneeba esigaddewo mugyeterekere okutuusa enkya.’”
24 And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not stink, neither was there any worm therein.
Bwe batyo ne bagyeterekera okutuusa enkeera, nga Musa bwe yabalagira; n’etewunya wadde okuzaala envunyu.
25 And Moses said, Eat that today; for today is a sabbath unto the LORD: today ye shall not find it in the field.
Musa n’abagamba nti, “Eyo mugirye leero, kubanga leero ye Ssabbiiti ya Mukama, ku ttaka temujja kusangako mmere.
26 Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.
Mu nnaku omukaaga mujjanga kugikuŋŋaanya, naye ku lunaku olw’omusanvu, olwa Ssabbiiti, emmere teebeerengawo.”
27 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that there went out some of the people for to gather, and they found none.
Naye era abamu ku bantu baafuluma ku lunaku olw’omusanvu bagikuŋŋaanye, naye tebaasangayo kantu.
28 And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?
Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Mulituusa ddi nga mukyajeemera ebiragiro byange?
29 See, for 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.
Mutegeere nga Mukama abawadde Ssabbiiti; ku lunaku olw’omukaaga kyava abawa emmere ya nnaku bbiri. Buli muntu abeerenga mu maka ge nga tafulumye n’akatono ku lunaku olw’omusanvu.”
30 So the people rested on the seventh day.
Abantu bwe batyo ne bawummula ku lunaku olw’omusanvu.
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.
Ab’omu nnyumba ya Isirayiri, emmere eyo ne bagiyitanga maanu. Yali efaanana ng’akasigo ka koliyanda, nga njeru; ng’ewoomerera ng’obusukuuti obufumbiddwa n’omubisi gw’enjuki.
32 And Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, Let an omerful of it be kept for 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.
Musa n’agamba nti, “Mukama alagidde bw’ati nti, ‘Muddire akabakuli aka kilo bbiri mukajjuze maanu mugiterekere ab’emirembe egigenda okujja; balyoke balabe ku mmere gye nabaliisanga mu ddungu, bwe nabaggya mu nsi y’e Misiri.’”
33 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omerful of manna therein, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept for your generations.
Musa n’agamba Alooni nti, “Ddira akabakuli osseemu maanu ejjuza oma, ze lita bbiri, obungi, ogisse awali Mukama, eterekerwe ab’emirembe egigenda okujja.”
34 As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
Bw’atyo Alooni n’ateeka maanu awali Endagaano, ekuumirwe awo, nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa.
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.
Abaana ba Isirayiri ne balya maanu okumala emyaka amakumi ana, okutuusa lwe baatuuka mu nsi omuli abantu. Baalya maanu okutuusa lwe baatuuka ku nsalo ya Kanani.
36 Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
Oma emu yenkana kimu kya kkumi ekya efa.
