< Exodus 16 >

1 Then moved they on from Elim, and all the assembly of the sons of Israel entered into the desert of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month, by their coming forth 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 Then did all the assembly of the sons of Israel murmur against Moses and against Aaron in the desert;
Nga bali mu ddungu eryo, ekibiina kyonna eky’abaana ba Isirayiri ne kyemulugunyiza Musa ne Alooni.
3 and the sons of Israel said unto them—Oh that we had died by the hand of Yahweh, in the land of Egypt, when we remained by the pot of flesh, when we did eat bread to the full, —for ye have brought us forth into this desert, to cause all this multitude to die by famine.
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 Yahweh unto Moses, Behold me! raining down for you bread out of heaven, —and the people shall go out and gather the portion for a day, on its day, that I may prove them whether they will walk in my law, or not.
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 settle what they shall bring in, —and it shall be twice as much as they gather day by day.
Ku lunaku olw’omukaaga bwe banaabanga bakuŋŋaanya emmere ey’olunaku olwo, bakuŋŋaanyanga eyenkanaankana n’ey’ennaku bbiri.”
6 So Moses and Aaron said unto all the sons of Israel, —At eventide, then shall ye know that it was, Yahweh, who brought you forth, out of 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 shall ye see the glory of Yahweh, in that he hath heard your murmurings against Yahweh, —what then are, we, that ye should 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—In that Yahweh giveth you in the evening flesh to eat, and bread in the morning, to the full, in that Yahweh heareth your murmurings wherewith ye are murmuring against him, what then are, we? Not against us, do ye murmur but against Yahweh.
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 assembly of the sons of Israel, Draw near, before Yahweh, —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, when Aaron spake unto all the assembly of the sons of Israel, then turned they towards the desert, —and lo! the glory of Yahweh, had 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 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses—saying,
Mukama n’ayogera ne Musa, ng’agamba nti,
12 I have heard the murmurings of the sons of Israel, —speak unto them, saying—Between the two evenings, shall ye eat flesh, and in the morning, shall ye be filled with bread, —so shall ye know that I Yahweh am 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, in the evening, that there came up quail, and covered the camp, —and in the morning was the outpouring of dew, 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 outpouring of dew went up, then lo! on the face of the desert, a thin flake, thin as hoar-frost on the earth,
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 sons of Israel saw it they said one to another—What is that? For they knew not what "that" was. Then said Moses unto them, "That" is the bread which Yahweh 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 Yahweh hath commanded, Gather ye thereof, each man what he needeth for eating, —an omer a head, by the number of your souls, each man—for them who are in his tent, shall ye take.
Mukama alagidde bw’ati nti, ‘Buli muntu akuŋŋaanye gy’anaamalawo. Buli muntu ali mu weema zammwe mumukuŋŋaanyize kilo bbiri.’”
17 And the sons of Israel did so, —and gathered, [some] more, and [some] less;
Abaana ba Isirayiri ne bakola nga bwe baalagirwa; abamu ne bakuŋŋaanya nnyingi, n’abalala ntono.
18 and when they measured it with the omer, he who had gathered more had nothing over, and he who had gathered less had no lack: each man what he needed for eating, did they gather.
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 thereof, until morning.
Musa n’abagamba nti, “Tewabaawo omuntu n’omu agifissaako okutuusa enkeera.”
20 But they hearkened not unto Moses, but certain men left thereof until morning, and it swarmed with worms and become loathsome, —and Moses was wroth with them.
Kyokka abamu Musa tebaamufaako; ne beeterekerako okutuusa enkeera; n’ezaala envunyu, era n’ewunya. Musa n’abasunguwalira.
21 Thus then they gathered it morning by morning, each man what he needed for eating, and as soon as the sun waxed hot, so soon 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 on the sixth day, that they gathered food twice as much, two omers for each one, —so all the princes of the assembly came in, 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—That is what Yahweh spake. The observance of a holy sabbath to Yahweh, is to-morrow, —what ye would bake, bake and what ye would boil, boil, and all that is left over, put by you to keep 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 So they put it by until the morning, as Moses had commanded, —and it gave no unpleasant odour, neither was there a worm, therein.
Bwe batyo ne bagyeterekera okutuusa enkeera, nga Musa bwe yabalagira; n’etewunya wadde okuzaala envunyu.
25 Then said Moses—Eat ye it to-day, for a sabbath, is to-day, unto Yahweh, —to-day, 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, shall ye gather it, —but on the seventh day, a sabbath, it shall not be therein.
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 forth some of the people to gather, —but they found not.
Naye era abamu ku bantu baafuluma ku lunaku olw’omusanvu bagikuŋŋaanye, naye tebaasangayo kantu.
28 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, —How long have ye refused to keep my commandments and my laws?
Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Mulituusa ddi nga mukyajeemera ebiragiro byange?
29 See because Yahweh hath given you the sabbath, for this cause, is, he, giving you on the sixth day, food for two days, —abide ye every man in his place, let no man go forth from his dwelling, 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 the same, was like coriander seed white, and the taste thereof, like flat-cake 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 Yahweh hath commanded, Fill an omer therefrom as a thing to be preserved to your generations, —that they may see the bread wherewith I fed you in the desert, when I brought you forth out of 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 So Moses said unto Aaron—Take a single basket, and put therein an omer-full of manna, —and set it down before Yahweh, as a thing to be preserved to 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 Yahweh gave command unto Moses, so did Aaron set it down before the testimony, as a thing to be preserved,
Bw’atyo Alooni n’ateeka maanu awali Endagaano, ekuumirwe awo, nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa.
35 And, the sons of Israel did eat the manna forty years, until they entered into the land wherein they were to dwell, —the manna, they did eat until they entered into the bounds 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 of the ephah.
Oma emu yenkana kimu kya kkumi ekya efa.
