< Exodus 16 >

1 And they went on their way from Elim, and all the children of Israel came into the waste land of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after they went out of the land of Egypt.
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.
2 And all the children of Israel were crying out against Moses and Aaron in the waste land:
Dia nimonomonona tamin’ i Mosesy sy Arona tany an-efitra ny fiangonana, dia ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra,
3 And the children of Israel said to them, It would have been better for the Lord to have put us to death in the land of Egypt, where we were seated by the flesh-pots and had bread enough for our needs; for you have taken us out to this waste of sand, to put all this people to death through need of food.
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.
4 Then the Lord said to Moses, See, I will send down bread from heaven for you; and the people will go out every day and get enough for the day's needs; so that I may put them to the test to see if they will keep my laws or not.
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.
5 And on the sixth day they are to make ready what they get in, and it will be twice as much as they get on the other days.
Ary raha mby amin’ ny andro fahenina dia hamboariny izay azony; ary hisy indroa toraka izay angoniny isan’ andro.
6 And Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, This evening it will be clear to you that it is the Lord who has taken you out of the land of Egypt:
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;
7 And in the morning you will see the glory of the Lord; for your angry words against the Lord have come to his ears: and what are we that you are crying out against us?
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?
8 And Moses said, The Lord will give you meat for your food at evening, and in the morning bread in full measure; for your outcry against the Lord has come to his ears: for what are we? your outcry is not against us but against the Lord.
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.
9 And Moses said to Aaron, Say to all the people of Israel, Come near before the Lord for he has given ear to your outcry.
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.
10 And while Aaron was talking to the children of Israel, their eyes were turned in the direction of the waste land, and they saw the glory of the Lord shining in the cloud.
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.
11 And the Lord said to Moses,
Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
12 The outcry of the children of Israel has come to my ears: say to them now, At nightfall you will have meat for your food, and in the morning bread in full measure; and you will see that I am the Lord your God.
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.
13 And it came about that in the evening little birds came up and the place was covered with them: and in the morning there was dew all round about the tents.
Ary nony hariva dia niakatra ny papelika, ka rakotra azy ny toby; ary nony maraina dia nisy ando manodidina ny toby;
14 And when the dew was gone, on the face of the earth was a small round thing, like small drops of ice on the earth.
ary nony niala ny ando, dia, indro, nisy zava-madinika boribory teny amin’ ny efitra, madinika toy ny fanala amin’ ny tany.
15 And when the children of Israel saw it, they said to one another, What is it? for they had no idea what it was. And Moses said to them, It is the bread which the Lord has given you for your food.
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.
16 This is what the Lord has said, Let every man take up as much as he has need of; at the rate of one omer for every person, let every man take as much as is needed for his family.
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.
17 And the children of Israel did so, and some took more and some less.
Dia nanao izany ny Zanak’ Isiraely, ka samy nanangona: ny sasany nanangona be, ary ny sasany kosa kely.
18 And when it was measured, he who had taken up much had nothing over, and he who had little had enough; every man had taken what he was able to make use of.
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.
19 And Moses said to them, Let nothing be kept till the morning.
Ary hoy Mosesy taminy: Aza misy mamela sisa ho tra-maraina.
20 But they gave no attention to Moses, and some of them kept it till the morning and there were worms in it and it had an evil smell: and Moses was angry with them.
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.
21 And they took it up morning by morning, every man as he had need: and when the sun was high it was gone.
Ary nanangona ny mana isa-maraina ny olona, dia samy araka izay fihinany avy; ary nony nafana ny andro, dia levona ireny.
22 And on the sixth day they took up twice as much of the bread, two omers for every person: and all the rulers of the people gave Moses word of it.
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.
23 And he said, This is what the Lord has said, Tomorrow is a day of rest, a holy Sabbath to the Lord: what has to be cooked may be cooked; and what is over, put on one side to be kept till the morning.
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.
24 And they kept it till the morning as Moses had said: and no smell came from it, and it had no worms.
Dia namela izany ho tra-maraina izy, araka izay nandidian’ i Mosesy; ary tsy mba maimbo na niteraka olitra izany.
25 And Moses said, Make your meal today of what you have, for this day is a Sabbath to the Lord: today you will not get any in the fields.
Ary hoy Mosesy: Hano ireny anio, fa Sabata ho an’ i Jehovah anio, ka anio no tsy hahitanareo azy any an-tsaha.
26 For six days you will get it, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, there will not be any.
Henemana no hanangonanareo azy; fa Sabata ny andro fahafito, ka dia tsy hisy amin’ izany.
27 But still on the seventh day some of the people went out to get it, and there was not any.
Ary nony tamin’ ny andro fahafito dia nisy olona nivoaka hanangona, fa tsy nahita na dia kely akory aza.
28 And the Lord said to Moses, How long will you go against my orders and my laws?
Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Mandra-pahoviana no handavanareo tsy hitandrina ny didiko sy ny lalàko?
29 See, because the Lord has given you the Sabbath, he gives you on the sixth day bread enough for two days; let every man keep where he is; let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.
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.
30 So the people took their rest on the seventh day.
Dia nitsahatra ny olona tamin’ ny andro fahafito.
31 And this bread was named manna by Israel: it was white, like a grain seed, and its taste was like cakes made with honey.
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.
32 And Moses said, This is the order which the Lord has given: Let one omer of it be kept for future generations, so that they may see the bread which I gave you for your food in the waste land, when I took you out from the land of Egypt.
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.
33 And Moses said to Aaron, Take a pot and put one omer of manna in it, and put it away before the Lord, to be kept for future generations.
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.
34 So Aaron put it away in front of the holy chest to be kept, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.
Ary araka izay nandidian’ i Jehovah an’ i Mosesy no nametrahan’ i Arona izany teo anatrehan’ ny Vavolombelona mba hotehirizina.
35 And the children of Israel had manna for their food for forty years, till they came to a land with people in it, till they came to the edge of the land of Canaan.
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.
36 Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
Ary ny omera dia ampahalofon’ ny vata efaha.
