Eksodosy 16
1 Ary tamin’ ny andro fahadimy ambin’ ny folo tamin’ ny volana faharoa taorian’ ny nialany tany amin’ ny tany Egypta dia nifindra niala tao Elima ny fiangonana, dia ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra, ka nankany amin’ ny efitra Sina, izay eo anelanelan’ i Elima sy Sinay.
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 Dia nimonomonona tamin’ i Mosesy sy Arona tany an-efitra ny fiangonana, dia ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra,
And the entire congregation of the sons of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness.
3 ka nanao taminy hoe: Inay anie izahay mba matin’ ny tànan’ i Jehovah tany amin’ ny tany Egypta, raha nipetraka teo anilan’ ny fahandroan-kena ka nihinan-kanina ho voky; fa nitondra anay nivoaka ho atỳ an-efitra ianareo hahafaty mosary izao fiangonana rehetra izao.
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 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Indro, Izaho handatsaka mofo avy any an-danitra ho anareo; dia hivoaka ny olona ka hanangona izay sahaza hohaniny isan’ andro, hizahako toetra azy, na handeha manaraka ny lalako izy, na tsia.
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 Ary raha mby amin’ ny andro fahenina dia hamboariny izay azony; ary hisy indroa toraka izay angoniny isan’ andro.
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 Ary hoy Mosesy sy Arona tamin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra: Anio hariva dia ho fantatrareo fa Jehovah no nitondra anareo nivoaka avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta;
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 ary rahampitso maraina dia ho hitanareo ny voninahitr’ i Jehovah, fa efa reny ny fimonomononanareo tamin’ i Jehovah; fa izahay moa no inona, no imonomononanareo?
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 Ary hoy koa Mosesy; Ho hitanareo izany, raha homen’ i Jehovah hena hohanina ianareo anio hariva, ary mofo hahavoky rahampitso maraina; fa efa ren’ i Jehovah ny fimonomononanareo, izay nimonomononanareo taminy; fa izahay moa no inona? Tsy izahay no imonomononanareo, fa Jehovah.
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 Ary hoy Mosesy tamin’ i Arona: Lazao amin’ ny fiangonana, dia ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra, hoe: Manatòna eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah; fa efa reny ny fimonomononanareo.
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 Ary raha Arona mbola niteny tamin’ ny fiangonana, dia ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra, dia nijery nanatrika ny efitra izy ireo, ka, indro, ny voninahitr’ i Jehovah niseho teo amin’ ny rahona.
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 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
12 Efa reko ny fimonomononan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, koa mitenena aminy hoe: Anio hariva dia hihinan-kena ianareo, ary rahampitso maraina kosa dia ho voky mofo ianareo, ka dia ho fantatrareo fa Izaho no Jehovah Andriamanitrareo.
“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 Ary nony hariva dia niakatra ny papelika, ka rakotra azy ny toby; ary nony maraina dia nisy ando manodidina ny toby;
Therefore, it happened in the evening: quails, rising up, covered the camp. Likewise, in the morning, a dew lay all around the camp.
14 ary nony niala ny ando, dia, indro, nisy zava-madinika boribory teny amin’ ny efitra, madinika toy ny fanala amin’ ny tany.
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 Ary rehefa hitan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely izany, dia nifanontany hoe izy: Inona itony? satria tsy fantany ireny. Dia hoy Mosesy taminy: Itony no mofo izay nomen’ i Jehovah ho fihinanareo.
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 Izao no teny izay nandidian’ i Jehovah: Samia manangona azy ianareo araka izay tokony ho laninareo avy, dia eran’ ny vata omera avy ho amin’ ny isan-olona, araka ny isanareo; samia mitondra ianareo rehetra ho an’ izay ao an-dainy avy.
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 Dia nanao izany ny Zanak’ Isiraely, ka samy nanangona: ny sasany nanangona be, ary ny sasany kosa kely.
And the sons of Israel did so. And they collected: some more, others less.
18 Ary raha nafatrany tamin’ ny vata omera izany, dia tsy nanana amby ny nanangona be, ary ny nanangona kely tsy nanana ny tsy ampy; samy nanangona araka izay fihinany avy izy.
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 Ary hoy Mosesy taminy: Aza misy mamela sisa ho tra-maraina.
And Moses said to them, “Let no one leave any of it behind until morning.”
20 Kanefa tsy mba nanaraka ny tenin’ i Mosesy izy, fa namela sisa ho tra-maraina ihany ny olona sasany, dia niteraka olitra izany ka maimbo; ary dia tezitra tamin’ ny olona Mosesy.
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 Ary nanangona ny mana isa-maraina ny olona, dia samy araka izay fihinany avy; ary nony nafana ny andro, dia levona ireny.
Then each one collected, in the morning, as much as would be sufficient to eat. And after the sun became hot, it melted.
22 Ary nony tamin’ ny andro fahenina dia nanangona avy sasaka noho ny isan’ andro ny olona, dia indroan’ ny vata omera ho an’ ny isan-olona avy; dia avy ny lohan’ ny fiangonana ka nanambara tamin’ i Mosesy.
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 Ary hoy Mosesy taminy: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Rahampitso dia tena andro fitsaharana masìna ho an’ i Jehovah; koa manendasa izay hendasinareo, ary mahandroa izay handrahoinareo, ary izay sisa rehetra dia avelao ho anareo, hotehirizina ho tra-maraina.
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 Dia namela izany ho tra-maraina izy, araka izay nandidian’ i Mosesy; ary tsy mba maimbo na niteraka olitra izany.
And they did just as Moses had instructed, and it did not putrefy, nor were there any worms found in it.
25 Ary hoy Mosesy: Hano ireny anio, fa Sabata ho an’ i Jehovah anio, ka anio no tsy hahitanareo azy any an-tsaha.
And Moses said: “Eat it today, because it is the Sabbath of the Lord. Today it will not be found in the field.
26 Henemana no hanangonanareo azy; fa Sabata ny andro fahafito, ka dia tsy hisy amin’ izany.
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 Ary nony tamin’ ny andro fahafito dia nisy olona nivoaka hanangona, fa tsy nahita na dia kely akory aza.
And the seventh day arrived. And some of the people, going out to collect it, did not find it.
28 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Mandra-pahoviana no handavanareo tsy hitandrina ny didiko sy ny lalàko?
Then the Lord said to Moses: “How long will you be unwilling to keep my commandments and my law?
29 Saino fa Jehovah no nanome anareo ny Sabata, koa izany no anomezany anareo mofo ampy ho indroa andro amin’ ny andro fahenina; samia mitoetra eo amin’ ny fitoerany avy ianareo, ka aoka tsy hisy hiala amin’ ny fitoerany amin’ ny andro fahafito.
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 Dia nitsahatra ny olona tamin’ ny andro fahafito.
And the people kept the Sabbath on the seventh day.
31 Ary ny anarany dia nataon’ ny taranak’ Isiraely hoe Mana; ary tahaka ny voan-drafy izy sady fotsy; ary ny fanandramana azy dia tahaka ny mofo misy tantely.
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 Ary hoy Mosesy: Izao no teny izay nandidian’ i Jehovah: Analao eran’ ny vata omera izy hotehirizina hatramin’ ny taranakareo fara mandimby, mba ho hitany ny mofo izay nampihinaniko anareo tany an-efitra, raha nitondra anareo nivoaka avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta Aho.
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 Ary hoy Mosesy tamin’ i Arona: Makà vilany, ka asio mana eran’ ny vata omera eo anatiny, dia apetraho eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah mba hotehirizina hatramin’ ny taranakareo fara mandimby.
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 Ary araka izay nandidian’ i Jehovah an’ i Mosesy no nametrahan’ i Arona izany teo anatrehan’ ny Vavolombelona mba hotehirizina.
just as the Lord instructed Moses.” And so, Aaron placed it in the tabernacle, in reserve.
35 Ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely nihinana mana mandritra ny efa-polo taona mandra-pahatongany tany amin’ izay tany misy monina: eny, mana no nohaniny mandra-pahatongany tany amin’ ny sisin’ ny tany Kanana.
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 Ary ny omera dia ampahalofon’ ny vata efaha.
Now an omer is a tenth part of an ephah.
