< Kobima 16 >

1 Lisanga nyonso ya bana ya Isalaele balongwaki na Elimi mpe bakomaki na esobe ya Tsini, oyo ezali kati ya Elimi mpe ngomba Sinai, na mokolo ya zomi na mitano, na sanza ya mibale sima na kobima na bango na Ejipito.
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 Lisanga nyonso ya bana ya Isalaele bayimaki-yimaki na tina na Moyize mpe Aron kati na esobe.
And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness:
3 Bana ya Isalaele balobaki na bango: — Ah! Ebongaki kutu loboko na Yawe epamela biso kati na Ejipito, pamba te, kuna, tozalaki kovanda pembeni ya banzungu etonda na misuni; tozalaki kolia mpe kotonda biloko. Kasi bino bomemi biso kati na esobe oyo mpo na koboma lisanga oyo nyonso na nzala!
And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God that we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh-pot, when we ate bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.
4 Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Tala, nakokitisela bino mapa wuta na likolo. Mokolo na mokolo, bato bakobanda kobima mpe kolokota mapa oyo ekoki mpo na kolia mokolo wana. Na nzela wana, nakomeka bango mpo na kotala soki bakobatela to te malako na Ngai.
Then said the Lord unto Moses, Behold, I will let rain for you bread from heaven; and the people shall go out and gather a certain portion every day, in order that I may prove it, whether it will walk in my law, or not.
5 Na mokolo ya motoba, bakolokota mbala mibale ndambo oyo bazalaki kolokota mpo na mokolo moko mpe bakolamba yango.
And it shall come to pass, on the sixth day, when they prepare what they shall have brought in, that it shall be twice as much as they shall gather daily.
6 Moyize mpe Aron balobaki na bana nyonso ya Isalaele: — Na pokwa ya lelo, bokoyeba solo ete ezali Yawe nde abimisaki bino na Ejipito.
And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At evening, then shall ye know that it is the Lord who hath brought you out from the land of Egypt:
7 Boye lobi na tongo, bokomona nkembo na Yawe; pamba te ayoki koyimayima na bino na tina na Ye. Mpo na yango, biso tozali banani mpo ete boyimayima epai na biso?
And in the morning, then shall ye see the glory of the Lord; since he heareth your murmurings against the Lord; and what are we, that ye should murmur against us?
8 Moyize alobaki lisusu: — Bokoyeba ete ezali solo Yawe tango akopesa bino misuni ya kolia na pokwa mpe mapa ebele na tongo. Pamba te ayoki koyimayima na bino na tina na Ye. Biso tozali banani? Boyimaki-yimaki na tina na biso te, kasi na tina na Yawe.
And Moses said, When the Lord giveth you in the evening flesh to eat, and bread in the morning to the full; since the Lord heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: —what are we then? not against us are your murmurings, but against the Lord.
9 Boye Moyize alobaki na Aron: — Yebisa lisanga nyonso ya bana ya Isalaele ete bapusana pene ya Yawe mpo ete ayoki koyimayima na bango.
And Moses said unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before the Lord; for he hath heard your murmurings.
10 Wana Aron azalaki koloba na lisanga nyonso ya bana ya Isalaele, babalolaki miso na bango na ngambo ya esobe, mpe bamonaki nkembo na Yawe kobima na mapata.
And it came to pass, as Aaron was speaking unto the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they turned round toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud.
11 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
12 — Nayoki koyimayima ya bana ya Isalaele. Yebisa bango: « Na pokwa ya lelo, bokolia misuni; bongo na tongo, bokotonda mana. Boye, bokoyeba solo ete nazali Yawe, Nzambe na bino. »
I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, Toward evening ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the Eternal your God.
13 Kaka na pokwa wana, bakayi eyaki mpe etondisaki molako; mpe na tongo, mamwe ezalaki zingazinga ya molako.
And it came to pass, that at evening the quails came up, and covered the camp; and in the morning there was a layer of dew round about the camp.
14 Tango mamwe elimwaki, biloko ya mike-mike penza lokola bambuma ya mike-mike emonanaki na mabele ya esobe, pembe lokola mvula ya pembe.
And when the layer of dew was gone up, behold, there was upon the face of the wilderness something fine in grains, small as the hoar-frost, on the ground.
15 Tango bana ya Isalaele bamonaki yango, batunanaki bango na bango: — Oyo nini? Pamba te bayebaki te soki ezali nini. Moyize alobaki na bango: — Ezali mapa oyo Yawe apesi bino mpo ete bolia.
And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna, for they knew not what it was; and Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the Lord hath given you to eat.
16 Tala mibeko oyo Yawe apesi na tina na likambo oyo: « Tika ete moto na moto alokota oyo ekoki mpo na ye kolia, omeri moko mpo na moto moko. Moto na moto akolokota kolanda motango ya bato oyo bazali kati na ndako na ye ya kapo. »
This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating: an omer for every head, according to the number of your persons that every man hath in his tent, shall ye take.
17 Bato ya Isalaele basalaki bongo: bamoko balokotaki moke; mpe bamosusu, ebele.
And the children of Israel did so; and they gathered, some much, some little.
18 Mpe bamekaki na omeri: moto oyo alokotaki ebele, alekelaki te; mpe oyo alokotaki moke, azangelaki te. Balokotaki moto na moto kolanda oyo ekokaki mpo na ye kolia.
And when they measured it with an omer, he that had gathered much had nothing over, and he that had gathered little had no lack: every man according to his eating, had they gathered.
19 Moyize ayebisaki bango: — Moko te abomba ata moke kino na tongo.
And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning.
20 Kasi bamosusu kati na bango bayokelaki Moyize te mpe babombaki ndambo na yango kino na tongo. Boye bankusu etondaki na ndambo oyo babombaki, mpe ekomaki kolumba solo ya kopola. Mpo na yango, Moyize atombokelaki bango.
But they hearkened not unto Moses; but some men left of it until morning, and it bred worms, and stank; and Moses was wroth with them.
21 Tongo nyonso, moto na moto abandaki kolokota oyo ekokaki mpo na ye kolia.
And so they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating; and when the sun waxed hot, it melted.
22 Na mokolo ya motoba, bana ya Isalaele bazalaki kolokota mbala mibale ndambo oyo bazalaki kolokota mpo na mokolo moko: omeri mibale mpo na moto moko. Bakambi nyonso ya lisanga bayaki koyebisa yango Moyize.
And it came to pass on the sixth day, that they gathered twofold bread, two omers for every one; all the rulers of the congregation came and told it to Moses.
23 Moyize alobaki na bango: — Tala mibeko oyo Yawe apesi: « Lobi ezali mokolo ya kopema, mokolo ya Saba oyo ebulisami mpo na Yawe. Bokolamba oyo bolingi kolamba mpe bokotokisa oyo bolingi kotokisa; kasi oyo ekotikala, bobatela yango kino lobi. »
And he said unto them. This is what the Lord hath spoken, A rest, a holy rest is unto the Lord tomorrow: that which ye will bake bake today, and what ye will seethe seethe today; and all the remaining lay up for you to be kept until the morning.
24 Bato ya Isalaele babatelaki yango kino na tongo, ndenge kaka Moyize atindaki; mana elumbaki te solo ya kopola, mpe bankusu ezalaki te kati na yango.
And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses had bidden; and it did not stink, nor was there any worm therein.
25 Moyize ayebisaki bango: — Mokolo ya lelo ezali mokolo ya Saba, mokolo ya Yawe. Bolia mana oyo bobombaki; pamba te lelo, bokotikala te komona mana na libanda.
And Moses said, Eat it today; for a sabbath is this day unto the Lord: today ye will not find it in the field.
26 Bokobanda kolokota yango mikolo motoba; kasi na mokolo ya sambo, mokolo ya Saba, mana ekobanda kozala te.
Six days shall ye gather it; but on the seventh day, the sabbath, on it there shall be none.
27 Atako bongo, na mokolo ya sambo, bato mosusu kati na bango babimaki mpo na kolokota yango, kasi bamonaki eloko te.
And it came to pass on the seventh day, that there went out some of the people to gather; but they found nothing.
28 Boye Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Kino tango nini bokoboya kobatela mibeko mpe malako na Ngai?
And the Lord said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?
29 Botia na mito na bino ete Ngai Yawe, napesaki bino mokolo ya Saba. Yango wana, na mokolo ya motoba, napesaka bino mapa mpo na mikolo mibale. Boye tika ete, na mokolo ya sambo, moto na moto avanda epai na ye; moko te abima na libanda.
See, that the Lord hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day bread for two days; remain ye, every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.
30 Boye bato bapemaki na mokolo ya sambo.
So the people rested on the seventh day.
31 Bato ya Isalaele babengaki lipa yango mana. Ezalaki pembe lokola bambuma ya koriande mpe elengi lokola mikate balamba na mafuta ya nzoyi.
And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna, [[Man]]; and it was like coriander-seed, white, and its taste was like wafers made with honey.
32 Moyize alobaki: — Tala mibeko oyo Yawe apesi: « Bozwa omeri moko ya mana mpe bobomba yango mpo na milongo ya bakitani na bino oyo ekoya, mpo ete bamona mapa oyo naleisaki bino na esobe tango nabimisaki bino na Ejipito. »
And Moses said, This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded, One omer-full of it is to be kept for your generations; in order that they may see the bread which I gave you to eat in the wilderness, when I brought you forth out of the land of Egypt.
33 Boye Moyize alobi na Aron: — Kamata ekolo moko mpe tia omeri moko ya mana kati na yango; bongo tia yango liboso ya Yawe mpo ete ebombama mpo na milongo oyo ekoya.
And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a flask, and put therein an omer-full of manna, and lay it up before the Lord, to be kept for your generations.
34 Ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki Moyize, Aron atiaki mana yango liboso ya Sanduku ya Boyokani mpo ete ebombama malamu.
As the Lord had commanded Moses, so did Aaron lay it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
35 Bana ya Isalaele baliaki mana mibu tuku minei kino tango bakomaki na mondelo ya mokili ya Kanana.
And the children of Israel ate the manna forty years, until they came to an inhabited land; the manna they did eat, until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan.
36 Omeri moko ekokani na eteni ya zomi ya efa.
But the omer is a tenth part of an ephah.
