2 Mose 16
1 Afei, wotu fii Elim baa Sin sare a ɛda Elim ne Bepɔw Sinai ntam no so. Wotu fii Misraim no, ɔsram a ɛto so abien no nnaawɔtwe abien so na woduu hɔ.
And they journeyed from Elim, and the whole assembly of the children of Israel came into the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departure out of the land of Egypt.
2 Woduu hɔ no nso, nnipa no kasa tiaa Mose ne Aaron se,
And the whole assembly of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness.
3 “Sɛ yɛwɔ Misraim na anka Awurade rekunkum yɛn wɔ hɔ a, anka yɛpɛ. Na yenya nnuan bebree di wɔ hɔ. Nanso mode yɛn abegu sare so ha ama ɔkɔm rekum yɛn.”
And the children of Israel said to them, Would that we had died by the hand of Jehovah in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh-pots, when we ate bread to the full; for ye have brought us out into this wilderness, to kill this whole congregation with hunger!
4 Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Merebɛtɔ aduan afi ɔsoro abegu asase so ama wɔn. Obiara betumi akɔboaboa dodow biara a ɔpɛ ano ama nea obedi no da koro. Mede eyi bɛsɔ wɔn ahwɛ sɛ wobedi mʼahyɛde so anaasɛ wɔrenni so.
Then said Jehovah to Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather the daily need on its day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or not.
5 Ka kyerɛ wɔn na nnaawɔtwe biara mu da a ɛto so asia no, wɔmmoaboa aduan no ano sɛnea daa wɔboaboa no no, mmɔho abien.”
And it shall come to pass on the sixth day, that they shall prepare what they have brought in; and it shall be twice as much as they shall gather daily.
6 Enti Mose ne Aaron frɛɛ Israelfo no nyinaa ne wɔn hyia ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Anwummere yi, mubehu sɛ Awurade na oyii mo fii Misraim asase so.
And Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, In the evening, then shall ye know that Jehovah has brought you out from the land of Egypt;
7 Sɛ edu anɔpa a, mubehu nʼanuonyam bebree; efisɛ wate sɛnea munwiinwii tia no no. Na yɛn ne hena a munwiinwii tia yɛn?
and in the morning, then shall ye see the glory of Jehovah; for he has heard your murmurings against Jehovah; — and what are we, that ye murmur against us?
8 Anwummere yi, Awurade bɛma mo nam awe, na wama mo aduan anɔpa, efisɛ wate mo anwiinwii a etia no no. Moannwiinwii antia yɛn, na munwiinwii tiaa Awurade.”
And Moses said, When Jehovah gives you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for Jehovah hears your murmurings which ye murmur against him...and what [are] we? your murmurings are not against us, but against Jehovah.
9 Na Mose ka kyerɛɛ Aaron se, “Ka kyerɛ Israelfo no nyinaa sɛ wɔmmra Awurade anim na wommetie wɔn anwiinwii no ho mmuae.”
And Moses spoke to Aaron, Say to all the assembly of the children of Israel, Come near into the presence of Jehovah; for he has heard your murmurings.
10 Enti Aaron frɛɛ wɔn boaa ano, na prɛko pɛ, wɔmaa wɔn ani so kyerɛɛ baabi a omununkum a ɛrekyerɛ wɔn kwan no wɔ no, Awurade fii mu daa nʼanuonyam kɛse no adi.
And it came to pass, when Aaron spoke to the whole assembly of the children of Israel, that they turned toward the wilderness, and behold, the glory of Jehovah appeared in the cloud.
11 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
12 “Mate wɔn anwiinwii no, ka kyerɛ wɔn se, ‘Anwummere, mubenya nam awe na anɔpa nso mubenya aduan pii adi na mubehu sɛ mene Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, no.’”
I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak to them, saying, Between the two evenings ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah your God.
13 Anwummere no, nnomaa pii bebuu so wɔ wɔn atenae hɔ na anɔpa no, obosu tɔ guu sare no so maa ɛyɛɛ fɔkyee.
And it came to pass in the evening, that quails came up, and covered the camp; and in the morning the dew lay round the camp.
14 Obosu no yowee no, nsinsenii nketenkete bi a ɛte sɛ sukyerɛmma beguu asase no so.
And when the dew that lay [round it] was gone up, behold, on the face of the wilderness there was [something] fine, granular, fine as hoar-frost, on the ground.
15 Israelfo no hui no, wobisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho se, “Dɛn ni?” Na Mose buaa wɔn se, “Ɛyɛ aduan a Awurade de ama mo sɛ munni no.
And the children of Israel saw [it], and said one to another, What is it? for they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them, This is the bread which Jehovah has given you to eat.
16 Awurade aka se, ‘Obiara mmoaboa dodow biara a ɛbɛso ɔne ne fifo di no ano.’”
This is the thing which Jehovah has commanded: Gather of it every man according to what he can eat, an omer a poll, [according to] the number of your persons: ye shall take every man for those that are in his tent.
17 Enti Israelfo no fii adi kɔboaboaa aduan no bi ano. Ebinom faa pii na bi nso faa kakraa bi.
And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some much, some little.
18 Wohwiee nea wɔaboaboa ano no nyinaa guu susukoraa mu no, na ɛdɔɔso sɛ obiara benya bi. Wɔn a wonyaa pii no, ebi anka, na wɔn a wonyaa kakraa bi no nso, ɛsoo wɔn. Ofi biara nyaa ne so ne ne de.
And they measured with the omer: then he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little wanted nothing: they had gathered every man according to the measure of his eating.
19 Mose ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mommma ade nkye so.”
And Moses said to them, Let no man leave [any] of it until the morning.
20 Nanso ebinom yɛɛ asoɔden maa ade kyee so. Ade kyee so no, na adɔ nsaammoa ma ɛbɔn enti Mose bo fuw wɔn yiye.
But they did not hearken to Moses; and some men left of it until the morning; then worms bred in it and it stank. And Moses was wroth with them.
21 Afei na wɔkɔtase aduan no anɔpa anɔpa, na wɔtase dodow biara a, ɛso ofi biara. Na awia bɔɔ denneennen guu so no, aduan no nyinaa nanee.
And they gathered it every morning, every man as much as he could eat; and when the sun became hot, it melted.
22 Da a ɛto so asia no, wɔtasee sɛnea wɔtase no daa no mmɔho abien. Wɔtasee susukoraa asia, nanso daa na wɔtase susukoraa abiɛsa. Mpanyimfo a wotuatua nnipa no ano no bebisaa Mose nea nti a aba saa.
And it came to pass on the sixth day, that they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one; and all the princes of the assembly came and told Moses.
23 Mose buaa wɔn se, “Efisɛ Awurade aka ato hɔ se, ‘Ɔkyena yɛ homeda. Ɛyɛ homeda kronkron ma Awurade a ɛnsɛ sɛ yɛyɛ yɛn nnwuma biara. Enti monnoa dodow biara a mopɛ nnɛ, na nea ɛbɛka no, munnyaw mma ade nkye so.’”
And he said to them, This is what Jehovah has said: To-morrow is the rest, the holy sabbath, of Jehovah: bake what ye will bake, and cook what ye will cook; and lay up for yourselves all that remains over, to be kept for the morning.
24 Na ade kyee so no, na nsaammoa biara nni mu na ɛmmɔn nso.
And they laid it up for the morning, as Moses had commanded; and it did not stink, neither was there any worm in it.
25 Mose kae se, “Nnɛ, mo aduan ni, efisɛ nnɛ yɛ Awurade homeda enti aduan biara rentɔ ngu asase so.
And Moses said, Eat it to-day; for to-day is sabbath to Jehovah: to-day ye shall not find it in the field.
26 Momfa nnansia mmoaboa aduan ano, efisɛ da a ɛto so ason no yɛ homeda enti morennya aduan biara saa da no.”
Six days shall ye gather it; but on the seventh day is sabbath: on it there shall be none.
27 Homeda no, nnipa no bi fii adi sɛ wɔrekɔpɛ aduan no bi, nanso na ebi nni hɔ.
And it came to pass on the seventh day that there went out [some] from the people to gather [it], and they found none.
28 Awurade bisaa Mose se, “Saa nnipa yi bɛyɛ asoɔden akosi da bɛn?
And Jehovah said to Moses, How long do ye refuse to keep my commandments and my laws?
29 Wonhu sɛ nnansia so no, memaa wɔn mmɔho abien sɛnea ɛbɛso wɔn nnaanu? Awurade se momfa da a ɛto so ason no sɛ homeda; montena mo ntamadan mu. Mummfi adi nkɔtase aduan mfi asase so.”
See, for Jehovah hath given you the sabbath; therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread for two days. Abide every man in his place: let no man go from his place on the seventh day.
30 Enti da a ɛto so ason no, nnipa no homee.
And the people rested on the seventh day.
31 Israelfo no too aduan no din se Mana, ase ne “Ɛyɛ dɛn?” Ɛyɛ fitaa sɛ wusa aba na ɛyɛ dɛ te sɛ tetare a ɛwo wɔ mu.
And the house of Israel called its name Manna; and it was like coriander-seed, white; and the taste of it was like cake with honey.
32 Mose kaa asɛm a Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ ɔnka nkyerɛ wɔn sɛ wɔmfa aduan no susukoraa abiɛsa na wɔmfa nkosie wɔn adekorabea afebɔɔ sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, nkyirimma behu aduan a Awurade de maa wɔn dii wɔ sare so bere a oyii wɔn fii Misraim no.
And Moses said, This is the thing which Jehovah has commanded: Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they may see the bread that I gave you to eat in the wilderness, when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.
33 Mose ka kyerɛɛ Aaron se ɔmfa kuruwa na ɔmfa mana lita abiɛsa ngu mu na ɔmfa nsie kronkronbea bi mma nkyirimma.
And Moses said to Aaron, Take a pot, and put in it an omer full of manna, and deposit it before Jehovah, to be kept for your generations.
34 Aaron yɛɛ sɛnea Awurade kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ ɔnyɛ no na ɔnkora no wɔ Apam Adaka no mu wɔ kronkronbea hɔ.
As Jehovah had commanded Moses, so Aaron deposited it before the Testimony, to be kept.
35 Enti Israelfo dii mana yi mfe aduanan kosii sɛ woduu Kanaan asase so a ɛhɔ de, na afumduan wɔ no.
And the children of Israel ate the manna forty years, until they came into an inhabited land: they ate the manna until they came to the borders of the land of Canaan.
36 Lita abiɛsa yɛ omer baako.
Now an omer is the tenth [part] of an ephah.
