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.
The people journeyed on from Elim, and all the community of Israelites came to the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departure from the land of Egypt.
2 Dia nimonomonona tamin’ i Mosesy sy Arona tany an-efitra ny fiangonana, dia ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra,
The whole community of Israelites complained 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.
The Israelites said to them, “If only we had died by Yahweh's hand in the land of Egypt when we were sitting by the pots of meat and were eating bread to the full. For you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill our whole community with hunger.”
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 Yahweh said to Moses, “I will rain down bread from heaven for you. The people will go out and gather a day's portion every day so that I may test them to see 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.
It will come about on the sixth day, that they will gather twice as much as what they gathered every day before, and they will cook what they bring in.”
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;
Then Moses and Aaron said to all the people of Israel, “In the evening you will know that it is Yahweh who has brought you out 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?
In the morning you will see Yahweh's glory, for he hears your complaining against him. Who are we for you to complain 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.
Moses also said, “You will know this when Yahweh gives you meat in the evening and bread in the morning to the full—for he has heard the complaints that you speak against him. Who are Aaron and I? Your complaints are not against us; they are against Yahweh.”
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 said to Aaron, “Say to all the community of the people of Israel, 'Come near before Yahweh, for he has heard your complaints.'”
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.
It came about, as Aaron spoke to the whole community of the people of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, Yahweh's glory appeared in the cloud.
11 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
Then Yahweh 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 complaints of the people of Israel. Speak to them and say, 'In the evening you will eat meat, and in the morning you will be filled with bread. Then you will know that I am Yahweh your God.'”
13 Ary nony hariva dia niakatra ny papelika, ka rakotra azy ny toby; ary nony maraina dia nisy ando manodidina ny toby;
It came about in the evening that quails came up and covered the camp. In the morning the dew lay round about 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.
When the dew was gone, there on the surface of the wilderness were thin flakes like 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 people of Israel saw it, they said one to another, “What is it?” They did not know what it was. Moses said to them, “It is the bread that Yahweh 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 command that Yahweh has given: 'You must gather, each one of you, the amount you need to eat, an omer for each person of the number of your people. This is how you will gather it: Gather enough to eat for every person who lives in your tent.'”
17 Dia nanao izany ny Zanak’ Isiraely, ka samy nanangona: ny sasany nanangona be, ary ny sasany kosa kely.
The people of Israel did so. Some gathered more, some gathered 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.
When they measured it with an omer measure, those who had gathered much had nothing left over, and those who had gathered little had no lack. Each person gathered enough to meet their need.
19 Ary hoy Mosesy taminy: Aza misy mamela sisa ho tra-maraina.
Then Moses said to them, “No one must leave any of it 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.
However, they did not listen to Moses. Some of them left some of it until morning, but it bred worms and became foul. Then Moses became angry with them.
21 Ary nanangona ny mana isa-maraina ny olona, dia samy araka izay fihinany avy; ary nony nafana ny andro, dia levona ireny.
They gathered it morning by morning. Each person gathered enough to eat for that day. When 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.
It came about that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each person. All the leaders of the community came and told this to 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.
He said to them, “This is what Yahweh has said: 'Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy Sabbath in Yahweh's honor. Bake what you want to bake, and boil what you want to boil. All that remains over, set it aside for yourselves until morning.'”
24 Dia namela izany ho tra-maraina izy, araka izay nandidian’ i Mosesy; ary tsy mba maimbo na niteraka olitra izany.
So they set it aside until morning, as Moses had instructed. It did not become foul, nor was there any worm 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.
Moses said, “Eat that food today, for today is a day reserved as a Sabbath to honor Yahweh. Today you will not find it in the fields.
26 Henemana no hanangonanareo azy; fa Sabata ny andro fahafito, ka dia tsy hisy amin’ izany.
You will gather it during six days, but the seventh day is the Sabbath. On the Sabbath there will be no manna.”
27 Ary nony tamin’ ny andro fahafito dia nisy olona nivoaka hanangona, fa tsy nahita na dia kely akory aza.
It came about on the seventh day that some of the people went out to gather manna, but they found none.
28 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Mandra-pahoviana no handavanareo tsy hitandrina ny didiko sy ny lalàko?
Then Yahweh said to Moses, “How long will you refuse to keep my commandments and my laws?
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, Yahweh has given you the Sabbath. So on the sixth day he is giving you bread for two days. Each of you must stay in his own place; no one must go out from his place on the seventh day.”
30 Dia nitsahatra ny olona tamin’ ny andro fahafito.
So the people rested 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.
The people of Israel called that food “manna.” It was white like coriander seed, and its taste was like wafers made 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.
Moses said, “This is what Yahweh has commanded: 'Let an omer of manna be kept throughout your people's generations so that your descendants might see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, after I brought you out 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.
Moses said to Aaron, “Take a pot and put an omer of manna into it. Preserve it before Yahweh to be kept throughout the people's generations.”
34 Ary araka izay nandidian’ i Jehovah an’ i Mosesy no nametrahan’ i Arona izany teo anatrehan’ ny Vavolombelona mba hotehirizina.
As Yahweh commanded Moses, Aaron stored it beside the covenant decrees in the ark.
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.
The people of Israel ate manna forty years until they came to inhabited land. They ate it until they came to the borders of the land of Canaan.
36 Ary ny omera dia ampahalofon’ ny vata efaha.
Now an omer is a tenth of an ephah.
