Baxniintii 16
1 Markaasay ka ambabbexeen Eelim, oo shirkii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu waxay yimaadeen cidlada Siin la yidhaahdo, taasoo u dhaxaysa Eelim iyo Siinay, waxayna ahayd bishii labaad, maalinteedii shan iyo tobnaad, taasoo ka dambaysay baxniintii ay Masar ka soo bexeen.
They/We left Elim, and all the Israeli people came to the desert [named] Sin. That is between Elim and Sinai [Mountain]. That was on the fifteenth day of the second month after they/we left Egypt.
2 Markaasaa shirkii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu cidladii Muuse iyo Haaruun ugu gunuuseen.
There in the desert, the Israeli [HYP] people complained to Aaron and Moses/me.
3 Oo reer binu Israa'iilna waxay iyagii ku yidhaahdeen, Waxaa noo wanaagsanaan lahayd inaannu gacanta Rabbiga ku dhimanno, annagoo dalkii Masar joogna, intii aannu ag fadhinnay dheryaha hilibka ah, oo aannu kibis ka dhergaynay, waayo, waxaad cidladan noogu soo bixiseen inaad ururkan oo dhan gaajo ku dishaan.
They said to them/us, “We wish that Yahweh had killed us in Egypt! There we had meat to eat, and all the bread that we wanted. But you have brought us into this desert in order that we will all starve to death!”
4 Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Muuse ku yidhi, Bal eeg, waxaan samada idiinka soo dayn doonaa kibis, oo dadku waa inay dibadda u baxaan oo maalin walba soo urursadaan in maalin ku filan, si aan u tijaabiyo iyaga, bal inay sharcigayga ku socdaan iyo in kale.
Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Listen to what I am going [to do]. I am going to send something from the sky that will [take the place of] bread for all of you. When I do that, the people must go out of their tents every day and gather just enough to eat on that day. [When I do that], I will find out whether they will obey my instructions or not.
5 Oo maalinta lixaad waa inay diyaarsadaan wixii ay soo gurteen, kolkaasay noqon doontaa intii ay maalin walba guran jireen in labanlaabkeed ah.
On the sixth day [after I start doing that], they will be able to gather twice as much as on the other days, [and not have to gather any on the seventh day]. Then they can prepare it [to eat it on the 6th and 7th days].”
6 Markaasaa Muuse iyo Haaruun waxay reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan ku yidhaahdeen, Makhribka baad ogaan doontaan inuu Rabbigu idinka soo bixiyey dalkii Masar,
So Aaron and Moses/I said to all the Israeli people, “This evening you will know that it was Yahweh, [not we], who brought you out of Egypt.
7 oo subaxdana waxaad arki doontaan ammaantii Rabbiga, waayo, wuu maqlayaa gunuuskiinna aad Rabbiga u gunuusaysaan. Oo annagu maxaannu nahay oo aad noogu gunuusaysaan?
And tomorrow morning you will see how great Yahweh is, because he has heard what you have complained about. He is the one whom you have really complained to, because we are just his servants.” [RHQ]
8 Markaasaa Muuse wuxuu yidhi; Rabbigu makhribka wuxuu idin siin doonaa hilib aad cuntaan, subaxdana wuxuu idin siin doonaa kibis aad ka dheregtaan; maxaa yeelay, Rabbigu wuxuu maqlayaa gunuuskiinna aad isaga u gunuusaysaan. Bal maxaannu annagu nahay? Annaga noo gunuusi maysaane, ee waxaad u gunuusaysaan Rabbiga.
Then Moses/I also said, “[From now on, each] evening Yahweh will give you meat to eat, and [each] morning he will give you [something that will take the place of] bread, because he has heard what you have complained about. Yahweh is the one to whom you have really complained, not us. We are just his servants.” [RHQ]
9 Markaasaa Muuse wuxuu Haaruun ku yidhi, Shirka reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Rabbiga hortiisa ku soo dhowaada; waayo, wuu maqlay gunuuskiinnii.
Then Moses/I said to Aaron, “Tell all the Israeli people, ‘Come and stand here in the presence of Yahweh, because he has heard what you have been complaining about.’”
10 Intii Haaruun la hadlayay shirkii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan waxay eegeen xaggii cidlada, oo bal eeg, ammaantii Rabbiga ayaa daruurtii ka dhex muuqatay.
So Aaron told them that. And as Aaron was talking to all the Israeli people, they looked toward the desert, and were surprised to see the (dazzling light/incredible brightness) of Yahweh in the cloud [that had been leading them].
11 Markaasaa Rabbigu Muuse la hadlay, oo wuxuu isagii ku yidhi,
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
12 Anigu waan maqlay gunuuskii reer binu Israa'iil; haddaba la hadal, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Makhribka waxaad cuni doontaan hilib, subaxdana waxaad ka dhergi doontaan kibis; oo waad ogaan doontaan inaan anigu ahay Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah.
“I have heard what the Israeli people have been complaining about. So say to them, ‘From now on, each evening, you will have meat to eat. And each morning you will have something that will take the place of bread. You will have all you want of it to eat.’ Then you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
13 Oo waxaa dhacday in makhribkii digaagduur yimaadeen oo ay xeradii oo dhan qariyeen, oo subaxdiina waxaa degmadii hareeraheeda ku soo degay sayax.
That evening, (quails/small plump birds) appeared, and [there were so many that] they covered the campsite. The next morning there was [something like] dew all around the campsite.
14 Oo markii sayaxii soo degay baabba'ay ayaa waxaa dhulkii cidlada ku hadhay wax yaryar oo goobaaban oo laale'eg sayax barafoobay.
When the dew evaporated, on the surface of the desert there was a thick layer of something that looked like white flakes. It looked like frost.
15 Oo markay reer binu Israa'iil arkeen ayaa midkoodba ka kale ku yidhi, Maxay tahay? Waayo, ma ay garanayn waxay tahay. Kolkaasaa Muuse wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Tanu waa kibistii Rabbigu idiin siiyey inaad cuntaan.
When the Israeli people saw it, since they [had never seen it before and] did not know what it was, they said to each other, “What is it?” Moses/I replied to them, “It is something Yahweh has given you to eat, to take the place of bread.
16 Waxanu waa wixii Rabbigu idinku amray, Nin waluba ha ka gurto in cuntadiisa ugu filan, inta dadkiinna tiradiisu tahay, qofkiiba comer muggiis ha qaato, oo nin waluba inta teendhadiisa joogta ha u qayb qaado.
This is what Yahweh has commanded: ‘Each of you should gather as much as you need to eat. Gather two quarts/liters for each person who lives in your tents.’”
17 Oo reer binu Israa'iil sidaasay yeeleen, oo qaarna wax badan buu soo gurtay, qaarna wax yar.
So that is what the Israeli people did. Some gathered more and some gathered less.
18 Oo markay comerkii ku qiyaaseen, kii wax badan soo gurtay waxba kama hadhin, kii wax yar soo gurtayna waxba kama dhinmin, oo nin waluba in cuntadiisa ugu filan buu soo gurtay.
But when they measured [what they had gathered], those that had gathered a lot did not have anything left over. And those that gathered less still had enough to eat. Each person gathered just what they needed.
19 Markaasaa Muuse wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Ninna yuusan wax ka reebin ilaa subaxda.
Moses/I said to them, “Do not leave any of it to eat tomorrow morning!”
20 Habase yeeshee Muuse ma ay dhegaysan, laakiinse qaarkood baa wax ka reebay ilaa subaxdii, kolkaasaa dirxi galay, oo ay urtay. Markaasaa Muusena iyagii u cadhooday.
But some of them did not pay any attention to what Moses/I said. They kept some of it until the next morning. But it was full of maggots and smelled rotten. And that made Moses/me angry.
21 Oo subax kasta nin waluba wuxuu guran jiray in cuntadiisa ugu filan; oo markii qorraxdu soo kululaatana, way dhalaali jirtay.
Each morning they gathered as much as they needed. But [later], when the sun got hot, [what was left on the ground] melted.
22 Oo maalintii lixaad waxay soo gurteen kibistii hore labanlaabkeed, qof waluba wuxuu soo gurtay laba comer, markaasaa taliyayaashii shirka oo dhammu intay u yimaadeen Muuse u sheegeen.
On the sixth day after they started gathering it, each person was able to gather four quarts/liters, which was twice [as much as they gathered on the other days]. When the leaders of the people came to Moses/me and told him/me [about that],
23 Kolkaasuu wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Waxanu waa wixii Rabbigu ku hadlay, Berri waa maalin weyn oo nasasho ah, oo waa sabti quduus u ah Rabbiga. Wixii aad duban lahaydeen dubta, oo wixii aad karin lahaydeen kariya, oo wax alla wixii idiin hadha meel dhigta oo ha idiin yaalleen ilaa subaxda.
Moses/I said to them, “This is what Yahweh has commanded: ‘Tomorrow will be a day for you to rest completely. It will be a day dedicated to Yahweh. So today, bake or boil what you will [need for today and for tomorrow]. Whatever is left [this evening], you should put aside and keep it [to eat] tomorrow.’”
24 Kolkaasay meel dhigteen ilaa subaxdii, sidii Muuse ku amray; oo mana ay urin, dirxina laguma arag.
So they did what Moses/I commanded. What was left over, they kept until the next day. It did not spoil and did not get maggots in it!
25 Markaasaa Muuse wuxuu yidhi, Intan maanta cuna; waayo, maanta waa maalin sabti u ah Rabbiga; oo maanta waxba duurka ka heli maysaan.
[On that day], Moses/I said, “Eat today [what you have saved from yesterday], because today is a day dedicated to Yahweh. Today you will not find any of that food outside.
26 Lix maalmood waa inaad soo gurataan, laakiinse maalinta toddobaad waa sabtida, oo maalintaas waxba ma jiri doonaan innaba.
[Every week], you must gather it for six days; but on the seventh day, which will be a day of rest, you will not find any.”
27 Oo waxaa dhacday maalintii toddobaad inay dadkii qaarkood dibadda u bexeen inay wax soo gurtaan, laakiinse waxba ma ay helin.
On the seventh day, some of the people went outside their tents to gather some of that food, but there was none.
28 Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Muuse ku yidhi, Ilaa goormaad diidaysaan inaad dhawrtaan amarradayda iyo qaynuunnadayda?
Then Yahweh [told Moses/me to say this to] the people: “How long will you people refuse to do all the things that I tell you?
29 Bal eega, Rabbigu wuxuu idin siiyey sabtida, oo sidaas daraaddeed buu isagu maalintii lixaad idiin siiyey kibis laba maalmood idinku filan; haddaba nin kasta oo idinka mid ahu meeshiisa ha joogo, oo maalinta toddobaad ninna yuusan meeshiisa ka bixin.
Listen! Yahweh has given you a day of rest. So on the sixth day [of each week], he will be giving you enough of this food for two days. Each of you should stay in his tent [and do no work] on the seventh day!”
30 Oo sidaas daraaddeed baa dadkii maalintii toddobaad u nasteen.
So the people rested on the seventh day.
31 Oo reer binu Israa'iil waxay magaceedii u bixiyeen Maanna; oo waxay u caddayd sida midhaha koryander la yidhaahdo, waxayna u dhadhan ekayd sidii buskud malab lagu sameeyey.
The Israeli people called this food manna, [which sounds like the words in their language that mean ‘what is it]?’ It looked like small seeds [called] coriander, but it was white, and it tasted like thin wafers/biscuits made with honey.
32 Markaasaa Muuse wuxuu yidhi, Waxanu waa wixii Rabbigu idinku amray, oo wuxuu yidhi, Comer muggiis ha loo dhigo farcankiinna dambe, inay arkaan kibistii aan idinku masruufi jiray markaad cidlada joogteen oo aan dalkii Masar idinka soo bixiyey.
Moses/I said, “This is what Yahweh has commanded: ‘You must keep two quarts/liters of it for all future generations, so that they can see the [food that took the place of] bread that I gave to your [ancestors] when I brought them out of Egypt.’”
33 Markaasaa Muuse wuxuu Haaruun ku yidhi, Weel qaado oo waxaad ku shubtaa comer muggiis oo Maanna ah, oo Rabbiga hor dhig in loo hayo farcankiinna dambe.
And he/I said to Aaron, “Take a jar, and put two quarts of manna in it. Then put it [in a place] where Yahweh can see it. It is to be kept like that for all future generations.”
34 Sidii Rabbigu Muuse ku amray ayaa Haaruun Maragga hortiis u dhigay, in loo hayo aawadeed.
[Many years later], as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me, Aaron put the jar in front of the box [that contained the stone slabs on which] the Ten Commandments [were written].
35 Oo reer binu Israa'iil waxay maannadii cunayeen afartan sannadood, ilaa ay yimaadeen dhul la deggan yahay. Waxay cuni jireen maannadii ilaa ay yimaadeen dalkii reer Kancaan xadkiisii.
The Israeli people were able to eat manna [every day] for 40 years, until they came to the border of Canaan land.
36 Comer waa eefaah toban meelood loo dhigay meeshiis.
(The standard measure [that they used at that time] held 20 quarts/liters.)
