Mose 2 16

1 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.

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.

2 Le afi sia hã la, dukɔ la katã galĩ liʋĩliʋĩ le Mose kple Aron ŋuti vevie.

And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness:

3 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.”

And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, [and] when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.

4 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.

Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no.

5 Gblɔ na wo be, woafɔ nuɖuɖu si wofɔna gbe sia gbe la ƒe teƒe eve le kɔsiɖa ɖe sia ɖe ƒe ŋkeke adelia dzi.”

And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare [that] which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.

6 Mose kple Aron wowɔ takpekpe kple Israelviwo katã. Wogblɔ na wo be, “Egbe fiẽ la, miadze sii be Yehowae kplɔ mi tso Egiptenyigba dzi.

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:

7 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?”

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?

8 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.”

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.

9 Ale Mose gblɔ na Aron be, “Gblɔ na Israelviwo katã be, ‘Miva Yehowa ŋkume, elabena ese miaƒe liʋĩliʋĩlilĩ.’”

And Moses spake unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before the LORD: for he hath heard your murmurings.

10 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.

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.

11 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

12 “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.’”

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.

13 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,

And it came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the host.

14 eye esi xexeme kɔ ŋdi la, nu ɣi nogonogoewo nɔ anyigba abe kpetsi ene.

And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness [there lay] a small round thing, [as] small as the hoar frost on the ground.

15 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.

And when the children of Israel saw [it], they said one to another, It [is] manna: for they wist not what it [was]. And Moses said unto them, This [is] the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat.

16 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.”

This [is] the thing which the LORD hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer for every man, [according to] the number of your persons; take ye every man for [them] which [are] in his tents.

17 Ale Israelviwo yi ɖafɔ wo abe ale si Mose gblɔ na wo ene; ame aɖewo fɔe fũu, ke ame aɖewo hã mefɔe fũu o.

And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less.

18 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.

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.

19 Mose gblɔ na wo be, “Migana ŋu nake ɖe wo dzi o.”

And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning.

20 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,

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.

21 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.

And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it melted.

22 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.

And it came to pass, [that] on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one [man: ] and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.

23 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.”

And he said unto them, This [is that] which the LORD hath said, To morrow [is] the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake [that] which ye will bake [to day], and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.

24 Esi ŋu ke la, nuɖuɖu la nɔ nyuie: megadze nye o eye megaʋẽ hã o, abe ale si Mose gblɔe na wo ene.

And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not stink, neither was there any worm therein.

25 Mose gblɔ be, “Esiae nye miaƒe egbe ƒe nuɖuɖu, elabena egbee nye dzudzɔgbe na Yehowa, eye nuɖuɖu aɖeke maganɔ anyigba miafɔ egbe o.

And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day [is] a sabbath unto the LORD: to day ye shall not find it in the field.

26 Mifɔ nuɖuɖu la ŋkeke ade, ŋkeke adrelia nye Dzudzɔgbe. Nuɖuɖu aɖeke manɔ anyigba miafɔ gbe ma gbe o.”

Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, [which is] the sabbath, in it there shall be none.

27 Ke ame aɖewo ya gayi nuɖuɖu la fɔ ge, togbɔ be gbe ma gbee nye ŋkeke adrelia, ke nuɖuɖu aɖeke menɔ anyigba wofɔ o.

And it came to pass, [that] there went out [some] of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none.

28 Yehowa bia Mose be, “Va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣie miagbe toɖoɖo nye sewo kple ɖoɖowo?

And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?

29 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.”

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.

30 Ale Israelviwo dzudzɔ wo ɖokuiwo le ŋkeke adrelia gbe.

So the people rested on the seventh day.

31 Israelviwo yɔa abolo la be, “mana.” Ele ɣie abe bliku ene, eye wòvivina abe akpɔnɔvivi si me wode anyitsii ene.

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.

32 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.’”

And Moses said, This [is] the thing which the LORD commandeth, Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they may see the bread wherewith I have fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.

33 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.”

And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna therein, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept for your generations.

34 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.

As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.

35 Ale Israelviwo ɖu “mana” ƒe blaene va se ɖe esime woɖo Kanaanyigba ƒe liƒo dzi, afi si agblemenukuwo nɔ woaɖu.

And the children of Israel did eat manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited; they did eat manna, until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan.

36 (Dzidzenu si wotsɔna dzidzea mana la anɔ abe lita eve ene.)

Now an omer [is] the tenth [part] of an ephah.
