Egzòd 16
1 Alò, yo te kite Élim, e tout asanble fis Israël yo te vini nan dezè Sin, ki te antre Élim ak Sinai an. Sa te fèt nan kenzyèm jou dezyèm mwa apre depa yo nan peyi Égypte la.
And they set out from Elim. And the entire multitude of the sons of Israel arrived at the desert of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month, after they departed from the land of Egypt.
2 Konsa, tout asanble fis Israël yo te plenyen kont Moïse avèk Aaron nan dezè a.
And the entire congregation of the sons of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness.
3 Fis Israël yo te di yo: “Pito ke nou te mouri pa men SENYÈ a nan peyi Égypte la pandan nou t ap chita akote chodyè vyann yo, pandan nou t ap manje pen jis nou vin plen. Men ou mennen nou deyò nan dezè sila a pou touye tout asanble a avèk grangou.”
And the sons of Israel said to them: “If only we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat around bowls of meat and ate bread until filled. Why have you led us away, into this desert, so that you might kill the entire multitude with famine?”
4 Alò, SENYÈ a te di Moïse: “Gade byen, Mwen va vide pen sòti nan syèl la tankou lapli pou nou. Epi pèp la va sòti chak jou pou ranmase sa ki kont pou jounen an, pou Mwen kapab fè yo pase a leprèv; pou M wè si yo va mache nan enstriksyon Mwen yo.
Then the Lord said to Moses: “Behold, I will rain down bread from heaven for you. Let the people go out and collect what is sufficient for each day, so that I may test them, as to whether or not they will walk in my law.
5 Nan sizyèm jou a, lè yo prepare sa ke yo fè antre, li va doub sa ke yo konn pran pa jou yo.”
But on the sixth day, let them prepare what they use for carrying, and let there be double what they were accustomed to collect on a single day.”
6 Alò, Moïse avèk Aaron te di a tout fis Israël yo: “Nan aswè nou va rekonèt ke SENYÈ a te mennen nou sòti nan peyi Égypte la.
And Moses and Aaron said to the sons of Israel: “In the evening, you will know that the Lord has led you away from the land of Egypt.
7 Nan maten a nou va wè glwa SENYÈ a, paske Li tande plent nou yo kont SENYÈ a. Epi kisa nou ye pou nou ta plenyen kont nou?”
And in the morning, you will see the glory of the Lord. For he has heard your murmuring against the Lord. But as for us, truly what are we, that you would whisper against us?”
8 Moïse te di: “Sa va vin rive lè SENYÈ a bannou vyann pou nou manje nan aswè, ak pen jiskaske nou vin satisfè nan maten. Paske SENYÈ a tande plent ke nou fè kont Li. Epi kisa nou ye? Plent nou yo pa kont nou, men kont SENYÈ a.”
And Moses said: “In the evening, the Lord will give you flesh to eat, and in the morning, bread in fullness. For he has heard your murmurings that you have murmured against him. For what are we? Your murmuring is not against us, but against the Lord.”
9 Alò Moïse te di a Aaron: “Pale a tout asanble fis Israël yo, ‘Rapwoche nou devan SENYÈ a, paske Li tande plent nou yo.’”
Moses also said to Aaron: “Say to the whole congregation of the sons of Israel, ‘Approach before the Lord. For he has heard your murmuring.’”
10 Li te vin rive ke pandan Aaron t ap pale a tout asanble a fis Israël yo, ke yo te gade vè dezè a, e vwala, glwa SENYÈ a te parèt nan nwaj la.
And when Aaron spoke to the entire assembly of the sons of Israel, they looked out toward the wilderness. And behold, the glory of the Lord appeared in a cloud.
11 Konsa, SENYÈ a te pale a Moïse e te di:
Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
12 “Mwen tande plent a fis Israël yo. Pale ak yo pou di: ‘Nan aswè avan li fènwa, nou va manje vyann, e nan maten, nou va vin plen avèk pen. Konsa, nou va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.’”
“I have heard the murmuring of the sons of Israel. Say to them: ‘In the evening, you will eat flesh, and in the morning, you will be filled with bread. And you shall know that I am the Lord your God.’”
13 Alò, li vin rive nan aswè ke zwazo kay yo te monte. Yo te kouvri tout kan an. Nan maten an te gen yon kouch lawouze ki te antoure kan an.
Therefore, it happened in the evening: quails, rising up, covered the camp. Likewise, in the morning, a dew lay all around the camp.
14 Lè kouch lawouze a te disparèt, gade, sou sifas dezè a, te gen yon bagay ki te sanble yon ti kal byen fen, ki sanble frechè lawouze sou tè a.
And when it had covered the face of the earth, it appeared, in the wilderness, small and as if crushed with a pestle, similar to hoar-frost on the ground.
15 Lè fis Israël yo te wè li, yo te di a youn lòt: “Kisa sa ye?” Paske yo pa t konnen kisa sa li te ye. Epi Moïse te di yo: “Sa se pen ke SENYÈ a bannou pou nou manje.
When the sons of Israel had seen it, they said one to another: “Manhu?” which means “What is this?” For they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them: “This is the bread that the Lord has given you to eat.
16 Men sa ke SENYÈ a kòmande: ‘Chak moun ranmase ladann selon sa ke li va manje. Nou va pran yon omè pou chak, selon kantite moun chak nan nou genyen nan tant li.’”
This is the word that the Lord has instructed. Let each one collect as much of it as is sufficient to eat. One omer for each head. According to the number of your souls which live in a tent, so will you take of it.”
17 Fis Israël yo te fè sa, kèk te pran plis, e kèk te pran mwens.
And the sons of Israel did so. And they collected: some more, others less.
18 Lè yo te mezire li avèk yon omè, sa ki te pran anpil yo pa t gen twòp, ni sa ki te pran piti yo pa t manke. Chak moun te ranmase sa ke li te dwe manje.
And they measured by the measure of an omer. He who collected more, did not have too much; nor did he who prepared less, find too little. But each one gathered according to what they were able to eat.
19 Moïse te di yo: “Pa kite pèsòn konsève anyen ladann pou rive demen.”
And Moses said to them, “Let no one leave any of it behind until morning.”
20 Men yo pa t koute Moïse. Kèk nan yo te kite yon pati pou maten. Konsa, li te kale vè, e te vin rans. Moïse te fache avèk yo.
And they did not listen to him, but they left some of it behind until morning, and it began to swarm with worms, and it putrefied. And Moses became angry against them.
21 Yo te ranmase li chak jou, chak moun selon sa li ta dwe manje. Men lè solèy la te vin cho, li te vin fann.
Then each one collected, in the morning, as much as would be sufficient to eat. And after the sun became hot, it melted.
22 Alò nan sizyèm jou a, yo te pran doub fòs pen, de omè pou chak moun. Tout dirijan asanble yo te fè rapò sa a Moïse.
But on the sixth day, they collected a double portion, that is, two omers for each man. Then all the leaders among the multitude came, and they discoursed with Moses.
23 Alo, konsa li te reponn yo: “Men sa ke SENYÈ a vle: ‘Demen se yon jou Saba, yon Saba sen a SENYÈ a. Kwit sa ke nou va kwit, bouyi sa ke nou va bouyi, e tout sa ki rete, mete l akote pou konsève jis rive nan maten.’”
And he said to them: “This is what the Lord has spoken: Tomorrow, the rest day of the Sabbath, has been sanctified to the Lord. Whatever would be done, do it now. And whatever would be cooked, cook it now. Then anything that will have been left over, store it until morning.”
24 Alò, yo te mete li akote jis rive nan maten, jan Moïse te kòmande a, e li pa t vin kanni, ni li pa t gen okenn vè ladann.
And they did just as Moses had instructed, and it did not putrefy, nor were there any worms found in it.
25 Moïse te di: “Manje li jodi a, paske jodi a se yon Saba a SENYÈ a. Jodi a nou p ap twouve li nan chan an.
And Moses said: “Eat it today, because it is the Sabbath of the Lord. Today it will not be found in the field.
26 Sis jou nou va pran li, men nan setyèm jou a, jou Saba a, p ap genyen okenn.”
Gather for six days. But on the seventh day, it is the Sabbath of the Lord, for which reason it will not be found.”
27 Li te rive nan setyèm jou a, ke kèk nan moun yo te ale pran, men yo pa t twouve menm.
And the seventh day arrived. And some of the people, going out to collect it, did not find it.
28 Alò, SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Pou konbyen de tan nou va refize kenbe kòmandman Mwen yo, ak enstriksyon Mwen yo?
Then the Lord said to Moses: “How long will you be unwilling to keep my commandments and my law?
29 Gade, SENYÈ a te bannou Saba a. Pou sa, Li bannou pen pou de jou nan sizyèm jou a. Kite chak moun rete nan plas li. Pa kite pèsòn sòti nan plas li nan setyèm jou a.”
See how the Lord has given you the Sabbath, and, because of this, on the sixth day he distributes to you a double portion. Let each one remain with his own, and let no one go forth from his place on the seventh day.”
30 Pou sa, pèp Israël la te poze nan setyèm jou a.
And the people kept the Sabbath on the seventh day.
31 Lakay Israël te nonmen li lamàn. Li te tankou grenn koryandè, blan avèk yon gou tankou gato avèk siwo myèl.
And the house of Israel called its name ‘Manna.’ It was like white coriander seed, and its taste was like wheat flour with honey.
32 Alò, Moïse te di: “Men Sa ke SENYÈ a te kòmande, ‘Kite yon omè ladann pami tout jenerasyon yo pou yo kapab wè pen ke Mwen te bannou nan dezè a, lè Mwen te mennen nou sòti nan peyi Égypte la.’”
Then Moses said: “This is the word that the Lord has instructed: Fill an omer of it, and let it be kept for future generations hereafter, so that they may know the bread, with which I nourished you in the wilderness, when you had been led away from the land of Egypt.”
33 Moïse te di a Aaron: “Pran yon bokal, mete yon omè plen lamàn ladann, epi plase li devan SENYÈ a pou kenbe li pandan tout jenerasyon nou yo.”
And Moses said to Aaron, “Take one vessel, and put manna into it, as much as an omer is able to hold. And store it in the sight of the Lord, to keep for your generations,
34 Jan SENYÈ a te kòmande Moïse la, konsa Aaron te plase li devan temwen an, pou l konsève.
just as the Lord instructed Moses.” And so, Aaron placed it in the tabernacle, in reserve.
35 Fis Israël yo te manje lamàn pandan karant ane, jis lè yo te rive nan yon peyi ki te peple deja. Yo te manje lamàn jis yo rive nan fwontyè peyi Canaan an.
Now the sons of Israel ate manna for forty years, until they arrived in a habitable land. With this food they were nourished, even until they touched the borders of the land of Canaan.
36 Alò, yon Omè se yon dizyèm pati a yon efa.
Now an omer is a tenth part of an ephah.
