Eksodosy 16
1 Ami’ty andro fahafolo lime ambi’ i volam-paha-roe niavota’ iareo an-tane Mitsraimey, le nañavelo boak’ Elime ty valobohò’ Israele vaho nivotrak’ am-patrambei’ i Sine añivo’ i Elime naho i Sinày.
The whole Israelite community left Elim and went to the Desert of Sin, between Elim and Sinai. This was on the fifteenth day of the second month after they had left the land of Egypt.
2 Nitoreo amy Mosè naho i Aharone am-patrambey ao i valobohò’ Israeley;
There in the desert they complained to Moses and Aaron.
3 le nanoa’ o ana’ Israeleo ty hoe, Hamake te navetram-pità’ Iehovà an-tane Mitsraime ao, ie nitoboke marine’ o valañen-kenao vaho nikama mahakama ampara’ te nietsake; fe nasese’o ampatrambey atoy ty fivoribey toy ho zamane’o an-kasalikoañe.
“The Lord should've killed us back in Egypt!” the Israelites told them. “At least there we could sit down beside stewpots of meat and eat bread until we were full. But you had to bring all of us out here in the desert to starve us all to death!”
4 Le hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè, Ingo, hampikojojoahako mahakama boak’ andikerañe añe vaho hiavotse mb’eo boak’ andro ondatio hanontoñe i tsaraeñey, ze mahatsàke i àndroy, hitsohako iareo, ke hañaveloa’ iareo i Hake natolokoy ke ts’ie.
The Lord told Moses, “Just watch! I'm going to rain down bread from heaven for you! Each day the people are to go out and collect enough for that day. I'm going to test them by this to find out whether they'll follow my instructions or not.
5 Ie amy andro fah’ eneñey le halankañe’ iereo o natonto’eo, fa ho indroe’ty famoria’ iareo boak’ andro.
On the sixth day they are to collect twice as much as usual and prepare it.”
6 Aa le hoe t’i Mosè naho i Aharone amo hene ana’ Israeleo, Ho fohi’ areo hariva te Iehovà ty nañavotse anahareo an-tane Mitsraimey,
So Moses and Aaron explained to all the Israelites, “This evening you will have the proof that it was the Lord who led you out of Egypt,
7 le ie maraindray ho isa’ areo ty enge’ Iehovà, fa jinanji’e ty fitoreo’ areo am’ Iehovà. Aa inon-jahay te itoreova’ areo?
and in the morning you will see the glory of the Lord displayed as he responds to the complaints he's heard you making against him. For why should you be complaining to us? We're nobodies!”
8 Le hoe t’i Mosè, hanjotsoa’ Iehovà hena ho kamae’ areo te hariva naho mahakama mahaanjañe te maraindraiñe, amy te janji’ Iehovà ty fimenomeno’ areo te miñeoñeoñe—fa inon-jahay? Tsy ama’ay ty fiñeoñeo’ areo fa am’ Iehovà.
Then Moses continued, “The Lord is going to give you meat to eat this evening and as much bread as you want in the morning, for he has heard your complaints against him. Why are you complaining to us nobodies? Your complaints aren't directed against us, but against the Lord.”
9 Le hoe t’i Mosè amy Aharone, Saontsio o valobohò’ Israeleo, Miharinea am’ Iehovà, fa jinanji’e ty fitoreo’ areo.
Then Moses said to Aaron, “Tell the whole Israelite community, ‘Present yourselves before the Lord, because he has heard your complaints.’”
10 Aa naho nilañoñe amy valobohò’ Israeley t’i Aharone, ie nitolike mb’ ampatrambey eñe, ingo, niboak’ amy rahoñey ty enge’ Iehovà.
While Aaron was still speaking to all the Israelites, they looked toward the desert and saw the glory of the Lord appear in a cloud.
11 Nitsara amy Mosè t’Iehovà nanao ty hoe,
The Lord told Moses,
12 Fa tsinanoko ty fitoreova’ o ana’ Israeleo; aa le taroño am’ iereo ty hoe, hikama hena iereo te hariva, naho ho ànja-mahakama iereo te maraindray vaho hapota’ areo te Izaho Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo.
“I have heard the complaints of the Israelites. Tell them, ‘In the evening you will eat meat, and in the morning you will have as much bread as you want. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God.’”
13 Ie amy harivay, nionjom-b’eo o hatrakatrakeo nañatseke i tobey; le ie maraindraiñe hoe nizotsoan-jono ty añ’ariari’ i tobey.
That evening quail flew in and landed, filling the camp. In the morning dew covered the ground all around the camp.
14 Ie nionjoñe i zonoy, le ingo ty raha bory nilamak’ am-patrambey ey, hoe sisi’e, matify hoe tihin-tà an-tane eo.
Once the dew had gone, there was something thin and flaky on the desert, looking like frost crystals on the ground.
15 Ie niisa’ o ana’ Israeleo i raha zay, le hoe ty nifanoiña’ iereo, Ino zao? Amy t’ie nahaalik’ iareo. Le hoe t’i Mosè am’ iereo, Ie ty mahakama nazotso’ Iehovà ama’ areo ho kamaeñe.
When the Israelites saw it, they asked each another, “What is it?” because they had no idea what it was. So Moses explained to them, “It's the bread the Lord has provided for you to eat.
16 Inao ty nandilia’ Iehovà: Atontono ty hikama’areo, sindre omere raike, ty ami’ty ia’ ondati’o, sindre hangalake ty mahaeneñe.
This is what the Lord has ordered you to do: ‘All of you shall collect as much as is needed. Take an omer for each person in your tent.’”
17 Nanoe’ o ana’ Israeleo izay, le namory, teo ty nanontoñe maro, teo ty nanontoñe kede.
So the Israelites did as they were told. Some collected more, while others collected less.
18 Aa ie nikapoahe’ iareo ami’ty omere, le tsy nanisa ty nanontoñe maro vaho tsy niereñe ty nanontoñe potrapotra’e, songa nanontoñe ty nahaeneñe aze.
But when they measured it out in omers, those who had collected a lot didn't have any left over, while those who had only collected a little still had enough. Each person collected gathered as much as they needed to eat.
19 Le hoe ty nanoa’ i Mosè, Asoao tsy hanisaeñe ty maraiñe.
Then Moses said to them, “No one is to leave any of it until the morning.”
20 Fe tsy hinao’ iareo t’i Mosè, teo ty nanisa ami’ty maraiñe, le nipoahan’ oletse vaho nitrotròtse. Aa le niviñera’ i Mosè.
But some didn't listen to Moses. They did leave some of it until the morning, and it was full of maggots and smelled bad. Moses became angry with them.
21 Boa-maraiñe ty natonto’ iareo, ty amo falie mikamao; ie nipisañe ty àndro le nimosaoñe.
So each morning everyone collected as much as they needed, and when the sun became hot, it melted away to nothing.
22 Fa ami’ty andro fah’ eneñe, songa nitoha indroe’ ty mahakama’e, sindre omere roe vaho hene niheo mb’eo o androanavi’ i fivoribeiio nitalily amy Mosè,
However, on the sixth day, they collected twice as much of this food, two omers for each person. All the Israelite leaders came and told Moses what they had done.
23 le hoe re am’ iereo, Hoe ty nitsarae’ Iehovà: Fitofàñe ty hamaray, Sabata masiñe am’ Iehovà; atoñaho ze hatoña’ areo naho ahandrò ze ahandroeñe te anito, le amiho ho ami’ty maraiñe.
Moses replied, “These are the Lord's instructions: ‘Tomorrow is a special day of rest, a holy Sabbath to honor the Lord. So bake what you want, and boil what you want. Then put to one side what's left and keep it until morning.’”
24 Aa le namike ho ami’ty maraiñe, amy nitoroa’ i Mosèy fa tsy nimantiñe vaho tsy aman-oletse.
So they kept it until morning as Moses had ordered, and it didn't smell bad or have any maggots.
25 Hoe t’i Mosè, Mikama anito, fa Fitofañe am’ Iehovà ty androany vaho tsy ho zoeñe an-kivok’ añe izay te anito.
Moses told them, “Eat it today, because today is a Sabbath to honor the Lord. Today you won't find anything out there.
26 Eneñ’ andro ty hanontona’ areo, f’ie tsy ho tendreke ami’ty andro fahafito, ie Sabata.
You can go out collecting for six days, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, it won't be there.”
27 Ie amy andro fahafitoy, teo t’indaty nitoha fe tsy naharendreke.
However, on the seventh day some people still went out collecting, but they did not find anything.
28 Hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè, Pak’ ombia ty mbe hifoneña’ areo tsy hañorike o lilikoo naho i Fetsekoy?
The Lord told Moses, “How long are you going to refuse to obey my commands and instructions?
29 Inao, te natolo’ Iehovà anahareo ty Sabotse; izay ty anjotsoa’e amy andro fahaeneñey ty mofo mahatsàk’ andro roe. Songa midok’ an-toe’e, Ko apo’o ndra iaia hiavotse amy toe’e ami’ty andro faha-fito.
You need to understand that the Lord has given you the Sabbath, so on the sixth day he will provide you with food for two days. On the seventh day, everyone has to stay where they are—no one needs to go out.”
30 Aa le songa nitofa ami’ty andro faha-fito ondatio.
So the people did no work on the seventh day.
31 Natao’ o ana’ Israeleo màne i mofoy. Nifoty hoe kabaro maike naho hoe mofo pisake nanoeñe an-tantele.
The Israelites called the food manna. It was white like coriander seed and tasted like wafers with honey.
32 Hoe t’i Mosè, Zao ty linili’ Iehovà, Añatsafo omere raik’ ama’e, hahaja ho amo tarira’areo mifandimbeo, hahaoniña’ iereo i mahakama namahanako anahareo am-patrambey ao t’ie nampiengàko an-tane Mitsraimey.
Moses said, “This is what the Lord has ordered: ‘Keep an omer of manna as a reminder for future generations, so that they can see the food I used to feed you in the desert when I led you out of Egypt.’”
33 Le hoe t’i Mosè amy Aharone, Andrambeso korojy le agodoño ao ty màne mahatsàke ty omere vaho ahajao añatrefa’ Iehovà ho fihaja amo tarira’areoo.
So Moses told Aaron, “Take a jar and put an omer of manna in it. Then place it before the Lord to be kept as a reminder for future generations.”
34 Amy nandilia’ Iehovà i Mosèy, ty nampipoha’ i Aharone aze aolo’ i fañinay ho fihaja.
Aaron did so and placed the jar in front of the Testimony, to be preserved just as the Lord had ordered Moses.
35 Nikama màne efapolo taoñe o ana’ Israeleo, ampara’ te nivotrak’ an-tane fimoneñañe añe; nikama màne ampara’ t’ie nitotsake añ’efetane Kanàne ao.
The Israelites ate manna forty years, until they came to the land where they would settle down—they ate manna until they arrived at the border of Canaan.
36 Toe fahafolo ty efà ty omere.
(An omer is a tenth of an ephah.)
