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.
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 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 to them, “We wish that we had died by the LORD’s hand 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.”
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 the LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I will rain bread from the sky 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.
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 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 Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, “At evening, you shall know that the LORD has 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 In the morning, you shall see the LORD’s glory; because he hears your murmurings against the LORD. Who are we, that you murmur against us?”
Ndipo mmawa mudzaona ulemerero wa Yehova pakuti wamva kudandaula kwanu. Kodi ife ndi yani kuti muzitidandaulira?”
8 Moses said, “Now the LORD will give you meat to eat in the evening, and in the morning bread to satisfy you, because the LORD hears your murmurings which you murmur against him. And who 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 Moses said to Aaron, “Tell all the congregation of the children of Israel, ‘Come close to the LORD, for he has heard your murmurings.’”
Kenaka Mose anawuza Aaroni kuti, “Uza gulu lonse la Aisraeli kuti, ‘Bwerani pamaso pa Yehova pakuti wamva kudandaula kwanu.’”
10 As Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the children of Israel, they looked towards the wilderness, and behold, the LORD’s glory appeared in the cloud.
Pamene Aaroni amayankhula ndi gulu lonse la Aisraeli, iwo anayangʼana ku chipululu, ndipo ulemerero wa Yehova umaoneka mu mtambo.
11 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Yehova anati kwa Mose,
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. Then you will 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 In the evening, quail came up and covered the camp; and in the morning the dew lay around the camp.
Madzulo amenewo panatuluka zinziri zimene zinali ponseponse pa misasa yawo, ndipo mmawa panali mame kuzungulira misasa yawo.
14 When the dew that lay had gone, behold, on the surface of the wilderness was a small round thing, small as the frost on the ground.
Mamewo atachoka, pa nthaka mʼchipululumo panaoneka tinthu tina topyapyala komanso totuwa ngati chipale.
15 When the children of Israel saw it, they said to one another, “What is it?” For they didn’t know what it was. Moses said to them, “It is the bread which the LORD has 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 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.’”
Yehova walamula kuti, ‘Aliyense atole zomukwanira kudya, malita awiri pa munthu mmodzi molingana ndi chiwerengero cha anthu amene ali mu tenti yanu.’”
17 The children of Israel did so, and some gathered more, some less.
Aisraeli anachita zonse anawawuza. Ena anatola zambiri ena zochepa.
18 When they measured it with an omer, he who gathered much had nothing over, and he who gathered little had no lack. They each gathered 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 Moses said to them, “Let no one leave of it until the morning.”
Ndipo Mose anawawuza kuti, “Wina aliyense asasunge mpaka mmawa.”
20 Notwithstanding they didn’t listen to Moses, but some of them left of it until the morning, so it bred worms and became foul; and Moses was angry with them.
Komabe ena sanamvere Mose, anasungako mpaka mmawa. Koma mmawa mwake tonse tinali mphutsi zokhazokha. Kotero Mose anawapsera mtima.
21 They gathered it morning by morning, everyone according to his eating. When the sun grew hot, it melted.
Mmawa uliwonse aliyense amatola zimene amazifuna, ndipo dzuwa likatentha zimasungunuka.
22 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 He said to them, “This is that which the LORD has spoken, ‘Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy Sabbath to the LORD. 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.’”
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 They laid it up until the morning, as Moses ordered, and it didn’t become foul, and there were no worms in it.
Choncho anasunga mpaka mmawa monga Mose anawalamulira, ndipo sananunkhe kapena kuchita mphutsi.
25 Moses said, “Eat that today, for today is a Sabbath to the LORD. Today you shall not find it in the field.
Mose anati, “Idyani lero chifukwa lero ndi Sabata la Yehova. Lero simukapeza chilichonse kunjaku.
26 Six days you 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 On the seventh day, some of the people went out to gather, and they found none.
Komabe anthu ena anapita kuti akatole chakudya tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri, koma sanapeze kanthu.
28 The LORD said to Moses, “How long do you refuse to keep my commandments and my laws?
Ndipo Yehova anafunsa Mose nati, “Kodi inu muzipitirira kukana kusunga malamulo ndi malangizo anga mpaka liti?
29 Behold, because the LORD 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.”
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 The house of Israel called its name “Manna”, and it was like coriander seed, white; and its taste was like wafers with honey.
Aisraeli anatchula chakudyacho Mana. Chakudyacho chinkaoneka ngati mbewu zamapira, zoyera. Ndipo chinkakoma ngati chothira uchi.
32 Moses said, “This is the thing which the LORD 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 out of 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 Moses said to Aaron, “Take a pot, and put an omer-full of manna in it, 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 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.
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 one tenth of an efah.
(Malita awiri amafanana ndi gawo lakhumi la efa).
