Exodus 16
1 And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel 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.
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.
2 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness:
Woduu hɔ no nso, nnipa no kasa tiaa Mose ne Aaron se,
3 And the children of Israel said to them, O that we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we ate bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.
“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.”
4 Then said the LORD to Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may test them, whether they will walk in my law, or not.
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.
5 And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.
Ka kyerɛ wɔn na nnaawɔtwe biara mu da a ɛto so asia no, wɔmmoaboa aduan no ano sɛnea daa wɔboaboa no no, mmɔho abien.”
6 And Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, At evening, then ye shall know that the LORD hath brought you out from the land of Egypt:
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.
7 And in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of the LORD; for that he heareth your murmurings against the LORD: and what are we, that ye murmur against us?
Sɛ edu anɔpa a, mubehu nʼanuonyam bebree; efisɛ wate sɛnea munwiinwii tia no no. Na yɛn ne hena a munwiinwii tia yɛn?
8 And Moses said, This shall be, when the LORD shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the LORD heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against the LORD.
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.”
9 And Moses spoke to Aaron, Say to all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before the LORD: for he hath heard your murmurings.
Na Mose ka kyerɛɛ Aaron se, “Ka kyerɛ Israelfo no nyinaa sɛ wɔmmra Awurade anim na wommetie wɔn anwiinwii no ho mmuae.”
10 And it came to pass, as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud.
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.
11 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
12 I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak to them, saying, At evening ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God.
“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.’”
13 And it came to pass, that at evening the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay around the host.
Anwummere no, nnomaa pii bebuu so wɔ wɔn atenae hɔ na anɔpa no, obosu tɔ guu sare no so maa ɛyɛɛ fɔkyee.
14 And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the ground.
Obosu no yowee no, nsinsenii nketenkete bi a ɛte sɛ sukyerɛmma beguu asase no so.
15 And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they knew not what it was. And Moses said to them, This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat.
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.
16 This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer for every man, according to the number of your persons; take ye every man for them who are in his tents.
Awurade aka se, ‘Obiara mmoaboa dodow biara a ɛbɛso ɔne ne fifo di no ano.’”
17 And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less.
Enti Israelfo no fii adi kɔboaboaa aduan no bi ano. Ebinom faa pii na bi nso faa kakraa bi.
18 And when they measured it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating.
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.
19 And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning.
Mose ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mommma ade nkye so.”
20 However they hearkened not to Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank: and Moses was angry with them.
Nanso ebinom yɛɛ asoɔden maa ade kyee so. Ade kyee so no, na adɔ nsaammoa ma ɛbɔn enti Mose bo fuw wɔn yiye.
21 And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun became hot, it melted.
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.
22 And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one man: and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.
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.
23 And he said to them, This is that which the LORD hath said, To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath to the LORD: bake that which ye will bake to day, and boil that ye will boil; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.
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.’”
24 And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses ordered: and it did not stink, neither was there any worm in it.
Na ade kyee so no, na nsaammoa biara nni mu na ɛmmɔn nso.
25 And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbath to the LORD: to day ye shall not find it in the field.
Mose kae se, “Nnɛ, mo aduan ni, efisɛ nnɛ yɛ Awurade homeda enti aduan biara rentɔ ngu asase so.
26 Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.
Momfa nnansia mmoaboa aduan ano, efisɛ da a ɛto so ason no yɛ homeda enti morennya aduan biara saa da no.”
27 And it came to pass, that some of the people went out on the seventh day to gather, and they found none.
Homeda no, nnipa no bi fii adi sɛ wɔrekɔpɛ aduan no bi, nanso na ebi nni hɔ.
28 And the LORD said to Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?
Awurade bisaa Mose se, “Saa nnipa yi bɛyɛ asoɔden akosi da bɛn?
29 See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.
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.”
30 So the people rested on the seventh day.
Enti da a ɛto so ason no, nnipa no homee.
31 And the house of Israel called its name Manna: and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.
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.
32 And Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD commanded, Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they may see the bread that I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.
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.
33 And Moses said to Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna in it, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept for your generations.
Mose ka kyerɛɛ Aaron se ɔmfa kuruwa na ɔmfa mana lita abiɛsa ngu mu na ɔmfa nsie kronkronbea bi mma nkyirimma.
34 As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
Aaron yɛɛ sɛnea Awurade kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ ɔnyɛ no na ɔnkora no wɔ Apam Adaka no mu wɔ kronkronbea hɔ.
35 And the children of Israel ate manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited; they ate manna, until they came to the borders of the land of Canaan.
Enti Israelfo dii mana yi mfe aduanan kosii sɛ woduu Kanaan asase so a ɛhɔ de, na afumduan wɔ no.
36 Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
Lita abiɛsa yɛ omer baako.
