Exodus 16
1 They/We left Elim, and all the Israeli people came to the desert [named] Sin. That is between Elim and Sinai [Mountain]. That was on the fifteenth day of the second month after they/we left Egypt.
Ìjọ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli mú ọ̀nà wọn pọ̀n kúrò ni Elimu, wọ́n dé sí ijù Sini tí ó wà láàrín Elimu àti Sinai, ni ọjọ́ kẹ́ẹ̀dógún oṣù kejì tí wọ́n jáde kúrò ni ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.
2 There in the desert, the Israeli [HYP] people complained to Aaron and Moses/me.
Gbogbo ìjọ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì ń kùn sí Mose àti Aaroni ní ijù náà.
3 They said to them/us, “We wish that Yahweh had killed us in Egypt! There we had meat to eat, and all the bread that we wanted. But you have brought us into this desert in order that we will all starve to death!”
Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli wí fún wọn pé, “Àwa ìbá ti ọwọ́ Olúwa kú ni Ejibiti! Níbi tí àwa ti jókòó ti ìkòkò ẹran ti a sì ń jẹ ohun gbogbo tí a fẹ́ ni àjẹyó, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin mú wa wá sí inú ijù yìí láti fi ebi pa wá tí a ó fi kú.”
4 Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Listen to what I am going [to do]. I am going to send something from the sky that will [take the place of] bread for all of you. When I do that, the people must go out of their tents every day and gather just enough to eat on that day. [When I do that], I will find out whether they will obey my instructions or not.
Nígbà náà ni Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé, “Èmi yóò rọ òjò oúnjẹ láti ọ̀run wá fún yín. Àwọn ènìyàn yóò sì máa jáde lọ ni ọjọ́ kọ̀ọ̀kan láti kó ìwọ̀nba oúnjẹ ti ó tó fún oúnjẹ òòjọ́ wọn. Ní ọ̀nà yìí ni, èmi yóò fi dán wọn wò láti mọ bóyá wọn yóò máa tẹ̀lé ìlànà mi.
5 On the sixth day [after I start doing that], they will be able to gather twice as much as on the other days, [and not have to gather any on the seventh day]. Then they can prepare it [to eat it on the 6th and 7th days].”
Ní ọjọ́ kẹfà, ki wọn kó ìlọ́po méjì èyí tiwọn ń ko ni ojoojúmọ́ tẹ́lẹ̀.”
6 So Aaron and Moses/I said to all the Israeli people, “This evening you will know that it was Yahweh, [not we], who brought you out of Egypt.
Mose àti Aaroni sọ fún gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Israẹli pé, “Ní ìrọ̀lẹ́, ẹ̀yin yóò mọ̀ pé Olúwa ni ó mú un yín jáde láti Ejibiti wá.
7 And tomorrow morning you will see how great Yahweh is, because he has heard what you have complained about. He is the one whom you have really complained to, because we are just his servants.” [RHQ]
Ní òwúrọ̀, ẹ̀yin yóò ri ògo Olúwa, nítorí òun ti gbọ́ kíkùn tí ẹ kùn sí i. Ta ni àwa ti ẹ̀yin yóò máa kùn sí wa?”
8 Then Moses/I also said, “[From now on, each] evening Yahweh will give you meat to eat, and [each] morning he will give you [something that will take the place of] bread, because he has heard what you have complained about. Yahweh is the one to whom you have really complained, not us. We are just his servants.” [RHQ]
Mose tún wí pé, “Ẹ̀yin yóò mọ pé Olúwa ni, nígbà ti ó bá fún un yín ni ẹran ni ìrọ̀lẹ́ àti gbogbo oúnjẹ ti ẹ̀yin ń fẹ́ ni òwúrọ̀, nítorí kíkùn ti ẹ̀yin ń kùn sí i. Ta ni àwa? Ẹ̀yin kò kùn sí àwa, Olúwa ni ẹ̀yin kùn sí i.”
9 Then Moses/I said to Aaron, “Tell all the Israeli people, ‘Come and stand here in the presence of Yahweh, because he has heard what you have been complaining about.’”
Nígbà náà ni Mose sọ fún Aaroni pe, “Sọ fún gbogbo ìjọ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli pe, ‘Ẹ wá sí iwájú Olúwa, nítorí òun ti gbọ́ kíkùn yín.’”
10 So Aaron told them that. And as Aaron was talking to all the Israeli people, they looked toward the desert, and were surprised to see the (dazzling light/incredible brightness) of Yahweh in the cloud [that had been leading them].
Ó sì ṣe bí Aaroni ti ń bá gbogbo ìjọ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sọ̀rọ̀, wọn si bojú wo ìhà ijù, sì kíyèsi ògo Olúwa si farahàn ni àwọsánmọ̀.
11 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé,
12 “I have heard what the Israeli people have been complaining about. So say to them, ‘From now on, each evening, you will have meat to eat. And each morning you will have something that will take the place of bread. You will have all you want of it to eat.’ Then you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
“Èmi ti gbọ́ kíkùn àwọn ọmọ Israẹli. Sọ fun wọn, ‘Ní àṣálẹ́, ẹ̀yin yóò jẹ ẹran, àti ni òwúrọ̀ ni ẹ̀yin yóò jẹ oúnjẹ. Nígbà náà ni ẹ̀yin yóò mọ̀ pé Èmi ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín.’”
13 That evening, (quails/small plump birds) appeared, and [there were so many that] they covered the campsite. The next morning there was [something like] dew all around the campsite.
Ní àṣálẹ́ ọjọ́ náà ni àwọn àparò fò dé, wọ́n sì bo àgọ́ mọ́lẹ̀, ní òwúrọ̀ ìrì sì sẹ̀ yí gbogbo àgọ́ náà ká.
14 When the dew evaporated, on the surface of the desert there was a thick layer of something that looked like white flakes. It looked like frost.
Nígbà tí ìrì tí ó sẹ̀ bo ilẹ̀ ti lọ, kíyèsi i, ohun tí ó dì, tí ó sì ń yooru bí i yìnyín wà lórí ilẹ̀.
15 When the Israeli people saw it, since they [had never seen it before and] did not know what it was, they said to each other, “What is it?” Moses/I replied to them, “It is something Yahweh has given you to eat, to take the place of bread.
Nígbà tí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli rí i, wọ́n bi ara wọn léèrè pé, “Kí ni èyí?” Nítorí pé wọn kò mọ ohun tí i ṣe. Mose sì wí fún wọn pé, “Èyí ni oúnjẹ tí Olúwa fi fún un yín láti jẹ.
16 This is what Yahweh has commanded: ‘Each of you should gather as much as you need to eat. Gather two quarts/liters for each person who lives in your tents.’”
Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ, ‘Kí olúkúlùkù máa kó èyí ti ó tó fún un láti jẹ. Ẹ mú òsùwọ̀n omeri kan fún ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan ti ó wà nínú àgọ́ yín.’”
17 So that is what the Israeli people did. Some gathered more and some gathered less.
Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì ṣe bí a ti sọ fún wọn; àwọn kan kó púpọ̀, àwọn kan kó kékeré.
18 But when they measured [what they had gathered], those that had gathered a lot did not have anything left over. And those that gathered less still had enough to eat. Each person gathered just what they needed.
Nígbà tí wọ́n fi òsùwọ̀n omeri wọ̀n-ọ́n, ẹni tí ó kó púpọ̀ kò ní púpọ̀ jù, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ẹni tí ó kó ìwọ̀nba kò ní kéré jù. Ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan kó ìwọ̀nba ti ó tó fún un.
19 Moses/I said to them, “Do not leave any of it to eat tomorrow morning!”
Mose sì wí fún wọ́n pé, “Kí ẹnikẹ́ni ó má ṣe kó pamọ́ lára rẹ̀ di òwúrọ̀ ọjọ́ kejì.”
20 But some of them did not pay any attention to what Moses/I said. They kept some of it until the next morning. But it was full of maggots and smelled rotten. And that made Moses/me angry.
Ṣùgbọ́n, àwọn kan nínú wọn kò fetí sí Mose, wọ́n kó lára rẹ̀ pamọ́ di òwúrọ̀ ọjọ́ kejì, ohun ti wọ́n kó pamọ́ kún fún ìdin, ó sì ti bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní rùn. Nítorí náà Mose bínú sí wọn.
21 Each morning they gathered as much as they needed. But [later], when the sun got hot, [what was left on the ground] melted.
Ní òwúrọ̀, ni ojoojúmọ́ ni ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan ń lọ kó ìwọ̀nba ti ó tó fún un láti jẹ, bí oòrùn bá sì mú, a sì yọ́.
22 On the sixth day after they started gathering it, each person was able to gather four quarts/liters, which was twice [as much as they gathered on the other days]. When the leaders of the people came to Moses/me and told him/me [about that],
Ní ọjọ́ kẹfà, wọ́n kó ìlọ́po méjì èyí tiwọn ń kó tẹ́lẹ̀: òsùwọ̀n omeri méjì fún ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan; àwọn olórí ìjọ ènìyàn sì wá, wọ́n sì sọ èyí fún Mose.
23 Moses/I said to them, “This is what Yahweh has commanded: ‘Tomorrow will be a day for you to rest completely. It will be a day dedicated to Yahweh. So today, bake or boil what you will [need for today and for tomorrow]. Whatever is left [this evening], you should put aside and keep it [to eat] tomorrow.’”
Ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa pàṣẹ: ‘Ọ̀la jẹ́ ọjọ́ ìsinmi, ìsinmi mímọ́ fún Olúwa. Ẹ yan èyí ti ẹ̀yin ní yan, kí ẹ sì bọ èyí ti ẹ̀yin ní bọ̀. Ẹ tọ́jú èyí ti ó kù sílẹ̀, kí ẹ pa á mọ́ di òwúrọ̀.’”
24 So they did what Moses/I commanded. What was left over, they kept until the next day. It did not spoil and did not get maggots in it!
Wọ́n sì tọ́jú rẹ̀ di òwúrọ̀ bí Mose ti pàṣẹ; kò sì rùn bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò sì ní ìdin.
25 [On that day], Moses/I said, “Eat today [what you have saved from yesterday], because today is a day dedicated to Yahweh. Today you will not find any of that food outside.
Mose sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ jẹ ẹ́ ní òní nítorí òní jẹ́ ọjọ́ ìsinmi Olúwa. Ẹ̀yin kò ni rí i ni orí ilẹ̀ ní ọjọ́ òní.
26 [Every week], you must gather it for six days; but on the seventh day, which will be a day of rest, you will not find any.”
Ní ọjọ́ mẹ́fà ni kí ẹ fi kó o, ṣùgbọ́n ni ọjọ́ keje ọjọ́ ìsinmi, kò ní sí i fún un yín ni ọjọ́ náà.”
27 On the seventh day, some of the people went outside their tents to gather some of that food, but there was none.
Síbẹ̀síbẹ̀ àwọn ènìyàn kan jáde lọ ní ọjọ́ keje láti kó o, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò ri nǹkan kan kó.
28 Then Yahweh [told Moses/me to say this to] the people: “How long will you people refuse to do all the things that I tell you?
Olúwa sì sọ fún Mose pé, “Yóò ti pẹ́ tó ti ẹ ó kọ̀ láti pa àṣẹ mi àti ìlànà mi mọ́?
29 Listen! Yahweh has given you a day of rest. So on the sixth day [of each week], he will be giving you enough of this food for two days. Each of you should stay in his tent [and do no work] on the seventh day!”
Wò ó? Olúwa ti fún un yín ni ọjọ́ ìsinmi, nítorí náà, ni ọjọ́ kẹfà, ó fún un yín ni oúnjẹ ọjọ́ méjì; kí ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan dúró ni ibi tí ó gbé wà; kí ẹ má ṣe kúrò ni ibi tí ẹ wà ni ọjọ́ keje.”
30 So the people rested on the seventh day.
Nítorí náà, àwọn ènìyàn sinmi ní ọjọ́ keje.
31 The Israeli people called this food manna, [which sounds like the words in their language that mean ‘what is it]?’ It looked like small seeds [called] coriander, but it was white, and it tasted like thin wafers/biscuits made with honey.
Àwọn ènìyàn Israẹli sì pe oúnjẹ náà ní manna. Ó funfun bí irúgbìn korianderi, ó sì dùn bí àkàrà fẹ́lẹ́fẹ́lẹ́ ti a fi oyin ṣe.
32 Moses/I said, “This is what Yahweh has commanded: ‘You must keep two quarts/liters of it for all future generations, so that they can see the [food that took the place of] bread that I gave to your [ancestors] when I brought them out of Egypt.’”
Mose wí pé, “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa pàṣẹ, ‘Ẹ mú òsùwọ̀n omeri manna kí ẹ sì pa á mọ́ de àwọn ìran ti ń bọ̀, kí wọn kí ó lè rí oúnjẹ ti èmi fi fún un yín jẹ ní ijù, nígbà tí mo mú un yín jáde ni ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.’”
33 And he/I said to Aaron, “Take a jar, and put two quarts of manna in it. Then put it [in a place] where Yahweh can see it. It is to be kept like that for all future generations.”
Nígbà náà ni Mose sọ fún Aaroni pe, “Mú ìkòkò kan, kí o sì kó manna tí ó kún òsùwọ̀n omeri kan sí inú rẹ̀, kí o sì gbé e kalẹ̀ ni iwájú Olúwa láti tọ́jú rẹ̀ pamọ́ de àwọn ìran ti ń bọ̀.”
34 [Many years later], as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me, Aaron put the jar in front of the box [that contained the stone slabs on which] the Ten Commandments [were written].
Bí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ fún Mose, Aaroni gbé manna sí iwájú ẹ̀rí láti pa á mọ́.
35 The Israeli people were able to eat manna [every day] for 40 years, until they came to the border of Canaan land.
Àwọn ará Israẹli jẹ manna fún ogójì ọdún títí wọ́n fi dé ilẹ̀ Kenaani ni ibi ti èso ti wà fún wọn láti jẹ, wọ́n jẹ manna títí tí wọ́n fi dé ilẹ̀ agbègbè Kenaani.
36 (The standard measure [that they used at that time] held 20 quarts/liters.)
(Òsùwọ̀n omeri kan sì jẹ́ ìdákan nínú ìdámẹ́wàá efa.)
