Exodus 16
1 And they journey from Elim, and all the company of the sons of Israel come in unto the wilderness of Sin, which [is] between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month of their going out from the land of Egypt.
Azɔ la, Israel ƒe ha blibo la dzo le Elim, eye woyi Sin, gbegbe si le Elim kple Sinai to la dome. Woɖo afi ma le ɣleti evelia ƒe ŋkeke wuiatɔ̃lia dzi le woƒe dzodzo le Egipte megbe.
2 And all the company of the sons of Israel murmur against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness;
Le afi sia hã la, dukɔ la katã galĩ liʋĩliʋĩ le Mose kple Aron ŋuti vevie.
3 and the sons of Israel say unto them, 'Oh that we had died by the hand of Jehovah in the land of Egypt, in our sitting by the flesh-pot, in our eating bread to satiety — for ye have brought us out unto this wilderness to put all this assembly to death with hunger.'
Israelviwo gblɔ na wo be, “Ɖe wòanyo ŋutɔ ne míaku ɖe Yehowa ƒe asi me le Egipte! Le teƒe ma la, míenɔa anyi ƒoa xlã lã siwo míeɖa la ƒe zewo, eye míeɖua nu si míedi la, gake miekplɔ mí va gbegbe afi sia be dɔ nawu mí míaku.”
4 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Lo, I am raining to you bread from the heavens — and the people have gone out and gathered the matter of a day in its day — so that I try them whether they walk in My law, or not;
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Kpɔ ɖa, mana abolo nadza tso dziƒo na wo. Ame sia ame ate ŋu ado go gbe sia gbe, eye wòafɔ nuɖuɖu si wòhiã. Mado wo kpɔ le nu sia me akpɔ be woawɔ ɖe nye ɖoɖowo dzi mahã.
5 and it hath been on the sixth day, that they have prepared that which they bring in, and it hath been double above that which they gather day [by] day.'
Gblɔ na wo be, woafɔ nuɖuɖu si wofɔna gbe sia gbe la ƒe teƒe eve le kɔsiɖa ɖe sia ɖe ƒe ŋkeke adelia dzi.”
6 And Moses saith — Aaron also — unto all the sons of Israel, 'Evening — and ye have known that Jehovah hath brought you out from the land of Egypt;
Mose kple Aron wowɔ takpekpe kple Israelviwo katã. Wogblɔ na wo be, “Egbe fiẽ la, miadze sii be Yehowae kplɔ mi tso Egiptenyigba dzi.
7 and morning — and ye have seen the honour of Jehovah, in His hearing your murmurings against Jehovah, and what [are] we, that ye murmur against us?'
Le ŋdi la, miakpɔ eƒe ŋutikɔkɔe geɖe wu, elabena ese miaƒe liʋĩliʋĩlilĩ le eya, Yehowa ŋu, elabena menye míawo ŋue mielĩ liʋĩliʋĩ le o. Ame kawo míenye?”
8 And Moses saith, 'In Jehovah's giving to you in the evening flesh to eat, and bread in the morning to satiety — in Jehovah's hearing your murmurings, which ye are murmuring against Him, and what [are] we? your murmurings [are] not against us, but against Jehovah.'
Mose gblɔ hã be mianya be, “Yehowae na lã mi le fiẽ me, eye wòna abolo si miehiã la mi le ŋdi me, elabena ese miaƒe liʋĩliʋĩlilĩwo le eŋuti. Ame kawoe mienye? Menye míawo ŋu miele liʋĩliʋĩ lĩm le o, ke boŋ Yehowa ŋue.”
9 And Moses saith unto Aaron, 'Say unto all the company of the sons of Israel, Come ye near before Jehovah, for He hath heard your murmurings;'
Ale Mose gblɔ na Aron be, “Gblɔ na Israelviwo katã be, ‘Miva Yehowa ŋkume, elabena ese miaƒe liʋĩliʋĩlilĩ.’”
10 and it cometh to pass, when Aaron is speaking unto all the company of the sons of Israel, that they turn towards the wilderness, and lo, the honour of Jehovah is seen in the cloud.
Esi Aron nɔ nu ƒom na Israelviwo ƒe ha bliboa la, wonye kɔ kpɔ gbegbe lɔƒo, eye le afi ma wokpɔ Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe wònɔ keklẽm le aliliwo me.
11 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
12 'I have heard the murmurings of the sons of Israel; speak unto them, saying, Between the evenings ye eat flesh, and in the morning ye are satisfied [with] bread, and ye have known that I [am] Jehovah your God.'
“Mese woƒe liʋĩliʋĩlilĩ. Gblɔ na wo be, ‘Le fiẽ sia la, lã aka mia si; le ŋdi la, miaxɔ abolo, eye mianya be nyee nye Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu.’”
13 And it cometh to pass in the evening, that the quail cometh up, and covereth the camp, and in the morning there hath been the lying of dew round about the camp,
Gbe ma gbe fiẽ la, tegliwo ƒe ha gã aɖe va do, eye woxe asaɖa la tame. Le ŋdi la, afu do ƒo xlã asaɖa la,
14 and the lying of the dew goeth up, and lo, on the face of the wilderness a thin, bare thing, thin as hoar-frost on the earth.
eye esi xexeme kɔ ŋdi la, nu ɣi nogonogoewo nɔ anyigba abe kpetsi ene.
15 And the sons of Israel see, and say one unto another, 'What [is] it?' for they have not known what it [is]; and Moses saith unto them, 'It [is] the bread which Jehovah hath given to you for food.
Esi Israelviwo kpɔ wo la, wobia wo nɔewo be, “Nu kawoe nye esiawo?” Elabena womenya nu si wonye o. Mose gblɔ na wo be, “Esiawoe nye abolo si Yehowa na mi be miaɖu.
16 'This [is] the thing which Jehovah hath commanded: Gather of it each according to his eating, an omer for a poll; and the number of your persons, take ye each for those in his tent.'
Yehowa gblɔ be, ame sia ame nafɔ agbɔsɔsɔ si ade eƒe aƒemetɔwo nu abe lita eve ƒe dzidzeme ene ɖe aƒea me tɔ ɖe sia ɖe nu.”
17 And the sons of Israel do so, and they gather, he who is [gathering] much, and he who is [gathering] little;
Ale Israelviwo yi ɖafɔ wo abe ale si Mose gblɔ na wo ene; ame aɖewo fɔe fũu, ke ame aɖewo hã mefɔe fũu o.
18 and they measure with an omer, and he who is [gathering] much hath nothing over, and he who is [gathering] little hath no lack, each according to his eating they have gathered.
Esi wotrɔ wo ɖe dzidzenu la me la, woyɔ dzidzenu la ɖe ame sia ame nu. Ame si ƒoa ƒu nuwo fũu hã mekpɔa ɖeke ɖe edzi o, ke ame si ƒo ƒu sue aɖe hã la, naneke mehiãnɛ o! Aƒe ɖe sia ɖe me tɔwo kpɔ esi ade wo nu tututu.
19 And Moses saith unto them, 'Let no man leave of it till morning;'
Mose gblɔ na wo be, “Migana ŋu nake ɖe wo dzi o.”
20 and they have not hearkened unto Moses, and some of them do leave of it till morning, and it bringeth up worms and stinketh; and Moses is wroth with them.
Ame aɖewo meɖo to o: wona ŋu ke ɖe wo dzi. Kasia woakpɔ wo ɖa la, wodze nyẽ henɔ ʋeʋẽm kũu. Mose do dɔmedzoe ɖe wo ŋu vevie,
21 And they gather it morning by morning, each according to his eating; when the sun hath been warm, then it hath melted.
eya ta azɔ la, wofɔa nuɖuɖu la ŋdi sia ŋdi, eye aƒe sia aƒe fɔa esi wòhiã la ko. Ne ŋdɔ ʋu, eye anyigba xɔ dzo la, abolo la lolõna, eye wòbuna.
22 And it cometh to pass on the sixth day, they have gathered a second bread, two omers for one, and all the princes of the company come in, and declare to Moses.
Le ŋkeke adelia dzi la, wofɔa agbɔsɔsɔ si wofɔna gbe sia gbe la ƒe teƒe eve. Wofɔa lita ene ɖe ame sia ame nu, ɖe lita eve teƒe. Kplɔlawo bia Mose be nu ka ta wòde se ma na yewo mahã.
23 And he saith unto them, 'It [is] that which Jehovah hath spoken [of]; a rest — a holy sabbath to Jehovah — [is] to-morrow; that which ye bake, bake; and that which ye boil, boil; and all that is over, let rest for yourselves in charge till the morning.'
Mose gblɔ na wo be, “Yehowa tɔ asi etsɔ dzi be wòanye dzudzɔgbe, wòanye ŋkeke kɔkɔe na Yehowa, eye wòle be míadzudzɔ tso míaƒe gbe sia gbe dɔwo wɔwɔ me, eya ta miɖa nu wòasɔ gbɔ abe ale si miedi ene egbe, eye midzra esi asusɔ la ɖo ŋu nake ɖe edzi.”
24 And they let it rest until the morning, as Moses hath commanded, and it hath not stank, and a worm hath not been in it.
Esi ŋu ke la, nuɖuɖu la nɔ nyuie: megadze nye o eye megaʋẽ hã o, abe ale si Mose gblɔe na wo ene.
25 And Moses saith, 'Eat it to-day, for to-day [is] a sabbath to Jehovah; to-day ye find it not in the field:
Mose gblɔ be, “Esiae nye miaƒe egbe ƒe nuɖuɖu, elabena egbee nye dzudzɔgbe na Yehowa, eye nuɖuɖu aɖeke maganɔ anyigba miafɔ egbe o.
26 six days ye do gather it, and in the seventh day — the sabbath — in it there is none.'
Mifɔ nuɖuɖu la ŋkeke ade, ŋkeke adrelia nye Dzudzɔgbe. Nuɖuɖu aɖeke manɔ anyigba miafɔ gbe ma gbe o.”
27 And it cometh to pass on the seventh day, some of the people have gone out to gather, and have not found.
Ke ame aɖewo ya gayi nuɖuɖu la fɔ ge, togbɔ be gbe ma gbee nye ŋkeke adrelia, ke nuɖuɖu aɖeke menɔ anyigba wofɔ o.
28 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'How long have ye refused to keep My commands, and My laws?
Yehowa bia Mose be, “Va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣie miagbe toɖoɖo nye sewo kple ɖoɖowo?
29 see, because Jehovah hath given to you the sabbath, therefore He is giving to you on the sixth day bread of two days; abide ye each [in] his place, no one doth go out from his place on the seventh day.'
Miɖo ŋku edzi be, Yehowae na Dzudzɔgbe ŋkeke la mi; esia tae wòna ŋkeke eve ƒe abolo mi le ŋkeke adelia gbe. Ame sia ame nenɔ afi si wòle le ŋkeke adrelia gbe; ame aɖeke megado go o.”
30 And the people rest on the seventh day,
Ale Israelviwo dzudzɔ wo ɖokuiwo le ŋkeke adrelia gbe.
31 and the house of Israel call its name Manna, and it [is] as coriander seed, white; and its taste [is] as a cake with honey.
Israelviwo yɔa abolo la be, “mana.” Ele ɣie abe bliku ene, eye wòvivina abe akpɔnɔvivi si me wode anyitsii ene.
32 And Moses saith, 'This [is] the thing which Jehovah hath commanded: Fill the omer with it, for a charge for your generations, so that they see the bread which I have caused you to eat in the wilderness, in My bringing you out from the land of Egypt.'
Mose gblɔ be, “Ale Yehowa de see nye esi, ‘Tsɔ mana lita ɖeka, dzrae ɖo hena dzidzime siwo ava dzɔ, ale be woate ŋu akpɔ abolo si mena mi mieɖu le gbedzi, esi mekplɔ mi do goe le Egipte.’”
33 And Moses saith unto Aaron, 'Take one pot, and put there the fulness of the omer of manna, and let it rest before Jehovah, for a charge for your generations;'
Ale Mose gblɔ na Aron be, “Tsɔ ze aɖe, eye nàdzidze mana lita ɖeka akɔ ɖe eme. Ekema, nàtsɔe ɖo Yehowa ŋkume be woadzrae ɖo hena dzidzime siwo ava dzɔ.”
34 as Jehovah hath given commandment unto Moses, so doth Aaron let it rest before the Testimony, for a charge.
Aron wɔ esia abe ale si Yehowa bia tso Mose si ene. Emegbe la, Aron tsɔe da ɖe nubablaɖaka la ŋgɔ le agbadɔ la me be wòanɔ dedie le afi ma.
35 And the sons of Israel have eaten the manna forty years, until their coming in unto the land to be inhabited; the manna they have eaten till their coming in unto the extremity of the land of Canaan.
Ale Israelviwo ɖu “mana” ƒe blaene va se ɖe esime woɖo Kanaanyigba ƒe liƒo dzi, afi si agblemenukuwo nɔ woaɖu.
36 and the omer is a tenth of the ephah.
(Dzidzenu si wotsɔna dzidzea mana la anɔ abe lita eve ene.)
