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 journey from Elim, and all the company of the sons of Israel come in unto the wilderness of Sin, which [is] between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month of their going out from the land of Egypt.
2 Nga bali mu ddungu eryo, ekibiina kyonna eky’abaana ba Isirayiri ne kyemulugunyiza Musa ne Alooni.
And all the company of the sons of Israel murmur against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness;
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 sons of Israel say unto them, 'Oh that we had died by the hand of Jehovah in the land of Egypt, in our sitting by the flesh-pot, in our eating bread to satiety — for ye have brought us out unto this wilderness to put all this assembly to death with hunger.'
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.
And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Lo, I am raining to you bread from the heavens — and the people have gone out and gathered the matter of a day in its day — so that I try them whether they walk in My law, or not;
5 Ku lunaku olw’omukaaga bwe banaabanga bakuŋŋaanya emmere ey’olunaku olwo, bakuŋŋaanyanga eyenkanaankana n’ey’ennaku bbiri.”
and it hath been on the sixth day, that they have prepared that which they bring in, and it hath been double above that which they gather day [by] day.'
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 saith — Aaron also — unto all the sons of Israel, 'Evening — and ye have known that Jehovah hath brought you out from the land of Egypt;
7 ate enkya lwe munaalaba ekitiibwa kya Mukama, kubanga awulidde nga mumwemulugunyiza. Kubanga naffe ffe b’ani mmwe okutwemulugunyiza?”
and morning — and ye have seen the honour of Jehovah, in His hearing your murmurings against Jehovah, and what [are] we, that ye murmur 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 saith, 'In Jehovah's giving to you in the evening flesh to eat, and bread in the morning to satiety — in Jehovah's hearing your murmurings, which ye are murmuring against Him, and what [are] we? your murmurings [are] not against us, but against Jehovah.'
9 Awo Musa n’agamba Alooni nti, “Tegeeza ekibiina kyonna eky’abaana ba Isirayiri nti, ‘Musembere awali Mukama, kubanga awulidde okwemulungunya kwammwe!’”
And Moses saith unto Aaron, 'Say unto all the company of the sons of Israel, Come ye near before Jehovah, for He hath heard your murmurings;'
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 it cometh to pass, when Aaron is speaking unto all the company of the sons of Israel, that they turn towards the wilderness, and lo, the honour of Jehovah is seen in the cloud.
11 Mukama n’ayogera ne Musa, ng’agamba nti,
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
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.’”
'I have heard the murmurings of the sons of Israel; speak unto them, saying, Between the evenings ye eat flesh, and in the morning ye are satisfied [with] bread, and ye have known that I [am] Jehovah your God.'
13 Obudde nga buwungeera enkwale ne zijja ne zijjula olusiisira; ne mu makya ne wabaawo omusulo ku ttaka mu lusiisira.
And it cometh to pass in the evening, that the quail cometh up, and covereth the camp, and in the morning there hath been the lying of dew round about the camp,
14 Omusulo nga gwamuse ng’obudde bukaze, laba, ku ttaka ne kulabikako obuntu obutono obwekulungirivu obufaanana ng’omusulo ogukutte olw’obunnyogovu obungi.
and the lying of the dew goeth up, and lo, on the face of the wilderness a thin, bare thing, thin as hoar-frost 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 the sons of Israel see, and say one unto another, 'What [is] it?' for they have not known what it [is]; and Moses saith unto them, 'It [is] the bread which Jehovah hath given to you for food.
16 Mukama alagidde bw’ati nti, ‘Buli muntu akuŋŋaanye gy’anaamalawo. Buli muntu ali mu weema zammwe mumukuŋŋaanyize kilo bbiri.’”
'This [is] the thing which Jehovah hath commanded: Gather of it each according to his eating, an omer for a poll; and the number of your persons, take ye each for those in his tent.'
17 Abaana ba Isirayiri ne bakola nga bwe baalagirwa; abamu ne bakuŋŋaanya nnyingi, n’abalala ntono.
And the sons of Israel do so, and they gather, he who is [gathering] much, and he who is [gathering] little;
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 they measure with an omer, and he who is [gathering] much hath nothing over, and he who is [gathering] little hath no lack, each according to his eating they have gathered.
19 Musa n’abagamba nti, “Tewabaawo omuntu n’omu agifissaako okutuusa enkeera.”
And Moses saith unto them, 'Let no man leave of it till morning;'
20 Kyokka abamu Musa tebaamufaako; ne beeterekerako okutuusa enkeera; n’ezaala envunyu, era n’ewunya. Musa n’abasunguwalira.
and they have not hearkened unto Moses, and some of them do leave of it till morning, and it bringeth up worms and stinketh; and Moses is wroth with them.
21 Buli nkya ne bakuŋŋaanyanga buli omu gye yayinzanga okulya nga anaagimalawo; naye akasana bwe kaayakanga nga kakazizza, n’esaanuuka.
And they gather it morning by morning, each according to his eating; when the sun hath been warm, then it hath melted.
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 it cometh to pass on the sixth day, they have gathered a second bread, two omers for one, and all the princes of the company come in, and declare to Moses.
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 saith unto them, 'It [is] that which Jehovah hath spoken [of]; a rest — a holy sabbath to Jehovah — [is] to-morrow; that which ye bake, bake; and that which ye boil, boil; and all that is over, let rest for yourselves in charge till the morning.'
24 Bwe batyo ne bagyeterekera okutuusa enkeera, nga Musa bwe yabalagira; n’etewunya wadde okuzaala envunyu.
And they let it rest until the morning, as Moses hath commanded, and it hath not stank, and a worm hath not been in it.
25 Musa n’abagamba nti, “Eyo mugirye leero, kubanga leero ye Ssabbiiti ya Mukama, ku ttaka temujja kusangako mmere.
And Moses saith, 'Eat it to-day, for to-day [is] a sabbath to Jehovah; to-day ye find it not in the field:
26 Mu nnaku omukaaga mujjanga kugikuŋŋaanya, naye ku lunaku olw’omusanvu, olwa Ssabbiiti, emmere teebeerengawo.”
six days ye do gather it, and in the seventh day — the sabbath — in it there is none.'
27 Naye era abamu ku bantu baafuluma ku lunaku olw’omusanvu bagikuŋŋaanye, naye tebaasangayo kantu.
And it cometh to pass on the seventh day, some of the people have gone out to gather, and have not found.
28 Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Mulituusa ddi nga mukyajeemera ebiragiro byange?
And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'How long have ye refused to keep My commands, 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 Jehovah hath given to you the sabbath, therefore He is giving to you on the sixth day bread of two days; abide ye each [in] his place, no one doth go out from his place on the seventh day.'
30 Abantu bwe batyo ne bawummula ku lunaku olw’omusanvu.
And the people 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 the house of Israel call its name Manna, and it [is] as coriander seed, white; and its taste [is] as a cake 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 saith, 'This [is] the thing which Jehovah hath commanded: Fill the omer with it, for a charge for your generations, so that they see the bread which I have caused you to eat in the wilderness, in My bringing 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 saith unto Aaron, 'Take one pot, and put there the fulness of the omer of manna, and let it rest before Jehovah, for a charge for your generations;'
34 Bw’atyo Alooni n’ateeka maanu awali Endagaano, ekuumirwe awo, nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa.
as Jehovah hath given commandment unto Moses, so doth Aaron let it rest before the Testimony, for a charge.
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 sons of Israel have eaten the manna forty years, until their coming in unto the land to be inhabited; the manna they have eaten till their coming in unto the extremity of the land of Canaan.
36 Oma emu yenkana kimu kya kkumi ekya efa.
and the omer is a tenth of the ephah.
