Okuva 16
1 Awo abaana ba Isirayiri, nga kibiina kinene, ne basitula okuva mu Erimu; ne batuuka mu ddungu lya Sini, eriri wakati wa Erimu ne Sinaayi, nga baakamala emyezi ebiri n’ennaku kkumi na ttaano kasookedde bava mu nsi y’e Misiri.
And they went on their way from Elim, and all the children of Israel came into the waste land of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after they went out of the land of Egypt.
2 Nga bali mu ddungu eryo, ekibiina kyonna eky’abaana ba Isirayiri ne kyemulugunyiza Musa ne Alooni.
And all the children of Israel were crying out against Moses and Aaron in the waste land:
3 Abaana ba Isirayiri ne babagamba nti, “Singa twasigala mu nsi y’e Misiri, Mukama n’atuttira eyo n’omukono gwe! Kubanga eyo twalyanga sefuliya z’ennyama, n’emmere nnyingi nga bwe twayagalanga, ne tukkuta; naye kaakano mutuleese mu ddungu lino, ekibiina kino kyonna kife enjala.”
And the children of Israel said to them, It would have been better for the Lord to have put us to death in the land of Egypt, where we were seated by the flesh-pots and had bread enough for our needs; for you have taken us out to this waste of sand, to put all this people to death through need of food.
4 Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Nzija kubatonnyeseza emmere ng’eva mu ggulu. Abantu banaakuŋŋaanyanga buli lunaku ekitundu eky’olunaku olwo; ndyoke mbagezese ndabe obanga banaakwatanga amateeka gange, oba tebaagakwatenga.
Then the Lord said to Moses, See, I will send down bread from heaven for you; and the people will go out every day and get enough for the day's needs; so that I may put them to the test to see if they will keep my laws or not.
5 Ku lunaku olw’omukaaga bwe banaabanga bakuŋŋaanya emmere ey’olunaku olwo, bakuŋŋaanyanga eyenkanaankana n’ey’ennaku bbiri.”
And on the sixth day they are to make ready what they get in, and it will be twice as much as they get on the other days.
6 Awo Musa ne Alooni ne bagamba abaana ba Isirayiri bonna nti, “Obudde nga buwungeera, we munaategeerera nga Mukama ye yabaggya mu nsi y’e Misiri:
And Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, This evening it will be clear to you that it is the Lord who has taken you out of the land of Egypt:
7 ate enkya lwe munaalaba ekitiibwa kya Mukama, kubanga awulidde nga mumwemulugunyiza. Kubanga naffe ffe b’ani mmwe okutwemulugunyiza?”
And in the morning you will see the glory of the Lord; for your angry words against the Lord have come to his ears: and what are we that you are crying out against us?
8 Musa n’ayongera okubagamba nti, “Mujja kwongera okutegeera Mukama, olweggulo nga buwungeera bw’anaabawa ennyama ne mulya, ate enkya n’abawa emmere ebamala: kubanga Mukama awulidde nga mumwemulugunyiza. Naffe ffe b’ani? Temwemulugunyiza ffe, wabula Mukama.”
And Moses said, The Lord will give you meat for your food at evening, and in the morning bread in full measure; for your outcry against the Lord has come to his ears: for what are we? your outcry is not against us but against the Lord.
9 Awo Musa n’agamba Alooni nti, “Tegeeza ekibiina kyonna eky’abaana ba Isirayiri nti, ‘Musembere awali Mukama, kubanga awulidde okwemulungunya kwammwe!’”
And Moses said to Aaron, Say to all the people of Israel, Come near before the Lord for he has given ear to your outcry.
10 Awo olwatuuka, Alooni bwe yali ng’akyategeeza ekibiina kyonna eky’abaana ba Isirayiri, ne batunula mu ddungu; era, laba, ekitiibwa kya Mukama ne kirabikira mu kire.
And while Aaron was talking to the children of Israel, their eyes were turned in the direction of the waste land, and they saw the glory of the Lord shining in the cloud.
11 Mukama n’ayogera ne Musa, ng’agamba nti,
And the Lord said to Moses,
12 “Mpulidde okwemulugunya kw’abaana ba Isirayiri. Bagambe nti, ‘Obudde nga buwungeera munaalya ennyama, n’enkya munakkusibwa emmere. Bwe mutyo munaategeera nga nze Mukama Katonda wammwe.’”
The outcry of the children of Israel has come to my ears: say to them now, At nightfall you will have meat for your food, and in the morning bread in full measure; and you will see that I am the Lord your God.
13 Obudde nga buwungeera enkwale ne zijja ne zijjula olusiisira; ne mu makya ne wabaawo omusulo ku ttaka mu lusiisira.
And it came about that in the evening little birds came up and the place was covered with them: and in the morning there was dew all round about the tents.
14 Omusulo nga gwamuse ng’obudde bukaze, laba, ku ttaka ne kulabikako obuntu obutono obwekulungirivu obufaanana ng’omusulo ogukutte olw’obunnyogovu obungi.
And when the dew was gone, on the face of the earth was a small round thing, like small drops of ice on the earth.
15 Abaana ba Isirayiri bwe baabulaba ne beebuzaganya nti, “Kiki kino?” Kubanga baali tebakimanyi. Musa n’abategeeza nti, “Eno ye mmere Mukama gy’abawadde okulya.
And when the children of Israel saw it, they said to one another, What is it? for they had no idea what it was. And Moses said to them, It is the bread which the Lord has given you for your food.
16 Mukama alagidde bw’ati nti, ‘Buli muntu akuŋŋaanye gy’anaamalawo. Buli muntu ali mu weema zammwe mumukuŋŋaanyize kilo bbiri.’”
This is what the Lord has said, Let every man take up as much as he has need of; at the rate of one omer for every person, let every man take as much as is needed for his family.
17 Abaana ba Isirayiri ne bakola nga bwe baalagirwa; abamu ne bakuŋŋaanya nnyingi, n’abalala ntono.
And the children of Israel did so, and some took more and some less.
18 Bwe baagipimiranga mu kabakuli aka oma, ze lita ebbiri, oyo eyali akuŋŋaanyizza ennyingi teyasukkirizanga, n’oyo ow’entono nga teyeeseera. Buli muntu yakuŋŋaanyanga ng’okwetaaga kwe bwe kwabanga.
And when it was measured, he who had taken up much had nothing over, and he who had little had enough; every man had taken what he was able to make use of.
19 Musa n’abagamba nti, “Tewabaawo omuntu n’omu agifissaako okutuusa enkeera.”
And Moses said to them, Let nothing be kept till the morning.
20 Kyokka abamu Musa tebaamufaako; ne beeterekerako okutuusa enkeera; n’ezaala envunyu, era n’ewunya. Musa n’abasunguwalira.
But they gave no attention to Moses, and some of them kept it till the morning and there were worms in it and it had an evil smell: and Moses was angry with them.
21 Buli nkya ne bakuŋŋaanyanga buli omu gye yayinzanga okulya nga anaagimalawo; naye akasana bwe kaayakanga nga kakazizza, n’esaanuuka.
And they took it up morning by morning, every man as he had need: and when the sun was high it was gone.
22 Awo ku lunaku olw’omukaaga ne bakuŋŋaanya emmere ya mirundi ebiri, ze kilo nnya buli muntu; abakulembeze bonna mu kibiina ne bajja ne bategeeza Musa.
And on the sixth day they took up twice as much of the bread, two omers for every person: and all the rulers of the people gave Moses word of it.
23 N’abagamba nti, “Mukama yalagidde bw’ati nti, ‘Enkya lunaaba lunaku lwa kuwummula, ye Ssabbiiti ya Mukama Entukuvu. Leero mwokye emmere yammwe gye mwetaaga okwokya, era mufumbe gye mwagala okufumba; eneeba esigaddewo mugyeterekere okutuusa enkya.’”
And he said, This is what the Lord has said, Tomorrow is a day of rest, a holy Sabbath to the Lord: what has to be cooked may be cooked; and what is over, put on one side to be kept till the morning.
24 Bwe batyo ne bagyeterekera okutuusa enkeera, nga Musa bwe yabalagira; n’etewunya wadde okuzaala envunyu.
And they kept it till the morning as Moses had said: and no smell came from it, and it had no worms.
25 Musa n’abagamba nti, “Eyo mugirye leero, kubanga leero ye Ssabbiiti ya Mukama, ku ttaka temujja kusangako mmere.
And Moses said, Make your meal today of what you have, for this day is a Sabbath to the Lord: today you will not get any in the fields.
26 Mu nnaku omukaaga mujjanga kugikuŋŋaanya, naye ku lunaku olw’omusanvu, olwa Ssabbiiti, emmere teebeerengawo.”
For six days you will get it, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, there will not be any.
27 Naye era abamu ku bantu baafuluma ku lunaku olw’omusanvu bagikuŋŋaanye, naye tebaasangayo kantu.
But still on the seventh day some of the people went out to get it, and there was not any.
28 Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Mulituusa ddi nga mukyajeemera ebiragiro byange?
And the Lord said to Moses, How long will you go against my orders and my laws?
29 Mutegeere nga Mukama abawadde Ssabbiiti; ku lunaku olw’omukaaga kyava abawa emmere ya nnaku bbiri. Buli muntu abeerenga mu maka ge nga tafulumye n’akatono ku lunaku olw’omusanvu.”
See, because the Lord has given you the Sabbath, he gives you on the sixth day bread enough for two days; let every man keep where he is; let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.
30 Abantu bwe batyo ne bawummula ku lunaku olw’omusanvu.
So the people took their rest on the seventh day.
31 Ab’omu nnyumba ya Isirayiri, emmere eyo ne bagiyitanga maanu. Yali efaanana ng’akasigo ka koliyanda, nga njeru; ng’ewoomerera ng’obusukuuti obufumbiddwa n’omubisi gw’enjuki.
And this bread was named manna by Israel: it was white, like a grain seed, and its taste was like cakes made with honey.
32 Musa n’agamba nti, “Mukama alagidde bw’ati nti, ‘Muddire akabakuli aka kilo bbiri mukajjuze maanu mugiterekere ab’emirembe egigenda okujja; balyoke balabe ku mmere gye nabaliisanga mu ddungu, bwe nabaggya mu nsi y’e Misiri.’”
And Moses said, This is the order which the Lord has given: Let one omer of it be kept for future generations, so that they may see the bread which I gave you for your food in the waste land, when I took you out from the land of Egypt.
33 Musa n’agamba Alooni nti, “Ddira akabakuli osseemu maanu ejjuza oma, ze lita bbiri, obungi, ogisse awali Mukama, eterekerwe ab’emirembe egigenda okujja.”
And Moses said to Aaron, Take a pot and put one omer of manna in it, and put it away before the Lord, to be kept for future generations.
34 Bw’atyo Alooni n’ateeka maanu awali Endagaano, ekuumirwe awo, nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa.
So Aaron put it away in front of the holy chest to be kept, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.
35 Abaana ba Isirayiri ne balya maanu okumala emyaka amakumi ana, okutuusa lwe baatuuka mu nsi omuli abantu. Baalya maanu okutuusa lwe baatuuka ku nsalo ya Kanani.
And the children of Israel had manna for their food for forty years, till they came to a land with people in it, till they came to the edge of the land of Canaan.
36 Oma emu yenkana kimu kya kkumi ekya efa.
Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
