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.

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.

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

Then did all the assembly of the sons of Israel murmur against Moses and against Aaron in the desert;

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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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.

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;

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 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?

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—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.

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

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.

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, 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,

11 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,

Then spake Yahweh 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 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.

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, 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;

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

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,

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 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.

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 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.

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 sons of Israel did so, —and gathered, [some] more, and [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 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.

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

And Moses said unto them, —Let, no man leave thereof, until 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,

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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—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.

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

So they put it by until the morning, as Moses had commanded, —and it gave no unpleasant odour, neither was there a 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.

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.

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

Six days, shall ye gather it, —but on the seventh day, a sabbath, it shall not be therein.

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 on the seventh day, that there went forth some of the people to gather, —but they found not.

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

Then said Yahweh unto Moses, —How long have ye refused 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 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,

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 the same, was like coriander seed white, and the taste thereof, like flat-cake 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 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.

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.”

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.

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 Yahweh gave command unto Moses, so did Aaron set it down before the testimony, as a thing to be preserved,

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

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.

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

Now, an omer, is, the tenth of the ephah.
