Kobima 16
1 Lisanga nyonso ya bana ya Isalaele balongwaki na Elimi mpe bakomaki na esobe ya Tsini, oyo ezali kati ya Elimi mpe ngomba Sinai, na mokolo ya zomi na mitano, na sanza ya mibale sima na kobima na bango na Ejipito.
And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt.
2 Lisanga nyonso ya bana ya Isalaele bayimaki-yimaki na tina na Moyize mpe Aron kati na esobe.
And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness:
3 Bana ya Isalaele balobaki na bango: — Ah! Ebongaki kutu loboko na Yawe epamela biso kati na Ejipito, pamba te, kuna, tozalaki kovanda pembeni ya banzungu etonda na misuni; tozalaki kolia mpe kotonda biloko. Kasi bino bomemi biso kati na esobe oyo mpo na koboma lisanga oyo nyonso na nzala!
And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we did eat bread to the full; for all of you have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.
4 Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Tala, nakokitisela bino mapa wuta na likolo. Mokolo na mokolo, bato bakobanda kobima mpe kolokota mapa oyo ekoki mpo na kolia mokolo wana. Na nzela wana, nakomeka bango mpo na kotala soki bakobatela to te malako na Ngai.
Then said the LORD unto 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 prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no.
5 Na mokolo ya motoba, bakolokota mbala mibale ndambo oyo bazalaki kolokota mpo na mokolo moko mpe bakolamba yango.
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.
6 Moyize mpe Aron balobaki na bana nyonso ya Isalaele: — Na pokwa ya lelo, bokoyeba solo ete ezali Yawe nde abimisaki bino na Ejipito.
And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At even, then all of you shall know that the LORD has brought you out from the land of Egypt:
7 Boye lobi na tongo, bokomona nkembo na Yawe; pamba te ayoki koyimayima na bino na tina na Ye. Mpo na yango, biso tozali banani mpo ete boyimayima epai na biso?
And in the morning, then all of you shall see the glory of the LORD; for that he hears your murmurings against the LORD: and what are we, that all of you murmur against us?
8 Moyize alobaki lisusu: — Bokoyeba ete ezali solo Yawe tango akopesa bino misuni ya kolia na pokwa mpe mapa ebele na tongo. Pamba te ayoki koyimayima na bino na tina na Ye. Biso tozali banani? Boyimaki-yimaki na tina na biso te, kasi na tina na Yawe.
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 hears your murmurings which all of you murmur against him: and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against the LORD.
9 Boye Moyize alobaki na Aron: — Yebisa lisanga nyonso ya bana ya Isalaele ete bapusana pene ya Yawe mpo ete ayoki koyimayima na bango.
And Moses spoke unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before the LORD: for he has heard your murmurings.
10 Wana Aron azalaki koloba na lisanga nyonso ya bana ya Isalaele, babalolaki miso na bango na ngambo ya esobe, mpe bamonaki nkembo na Yawe kobima na mapata.
And it came to pass, as Aaron spoke unto 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.
11 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
12 — Nayoki koyimayima ya bana ya Isalaele. Yebisa bango: « Na pokwa ya lelo, bokolia misuni; bongo na tongo, bokotonda mana. Boye, bokoyeba solo ete nazali Yawe, Nzambe na bino. »
I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, At even all of you shall eat flesh, and in the morning all of you shall be filled with bread; and all of you shall know that I am the LORD your God.
13 Kaka na pokwa wana, bakayi eyaki mpe etondisaki molako; mpe na tongo, mamwe ezalaki zingazinga ya molako.
And it came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the host.
14 Tango mamwe elimwaki, biloko ya mike-mike penza lokola bambuma ya mike-mike emonanaki na mabele ya esobe, pembe lokola mvula ya pembe.
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.
15 Tango bana ya Isalaele bamonaki yango, batunanaki bango na bango: — Oyo nini? Pamba te bayebaki te soki ezali nini. Moyize alobaki na bango: — Ezali mapa oyo Yawe apesi bino mpo ete bolia.
And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they know not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the LORD has given you to eat.
16 Tala mibeko oyo Yawe apesi na tina na likambo oyo: « Tika ete moto na moto alokota oyo ekoki mpo na ye kolia, omeri moko mpo na moto moko. Moto na moto akolokota kolanda motango ya bato oyo bazali kati na ndako na ye ya kapo. »
This is the thing which the LORD has commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer for every man, according to the number of your persons; take all of you every man for them which are in his tents.
17 Bato ya Isalaele basalaki bongo: bamoko balokotaki moke; mpe bamosusu, ebele.
And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less.
18 Mpe bamekaki na omeri: moto oyo alokotaki ebele, alekelaki te; mpe oyo alokotaki moke, azangelaki te. Balokotaki moto na moto kolanda oyo ekokaki mpo na ye kolia.
And when they did mete 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.
19 Moyize ayebisaki bango: — Moko te abomba ata moke kino na tongo.
And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning.
20 Kasi bamosusu kati na bango bayokelaki Moyize te mpe babombaki ndambo na yango kino na tongo. Boye bankusu etondaki na ndambo oyo babombaki, mpe ekomaki kolumba solo ya kopola. Mpo na yango, Moyize atombokelaki bango.
Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank: and Moses was angry with them.
21 Tongo nyonso, moto na moto abandaki kolokota oyo ekokaki mpo na ye kolia.
And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it melted.
22 Na mokolo ya motoba, bana ya Isalaele bazalaki kolokota mbala mibale ndambo oyo bazalaki kolokota mpo na mokolo moko: omeri mibale mpo na moto moko. Bakambi nyonso ya lisanga bayaki koyebisa yango Moyize.
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.
23 Moyize alobaki na bango: — Tala mibeko oyo Yawe apesi: « Lobi ezali mokolo ya kopema, mokolo ya Saba oyo ebulisami mpo na Yawe. Bokolamba oyo bolingi kolamba mpe bokotokisa oyo bolingi kotokisa; kasi oyo ekotikala, bobatela yango kino lobi. »
And he said unto them, This is that which the LORD has said, Tomorrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake that which all of you will bake to day, and seethe that all of you will seethe; and that which remains over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.
24 Bato ya Isalaele babatelaki yango kino na tongo, ndenge kaka Moyize atindaki; mana elumbaki te solo ya kopola, mpe bankusu ezalaki te kati na yango.
And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not stink, neither was there any worm therein.
25 Moyize ayebisaki bango: — Mokolo ya lelo ezali mokolo ya Saba, mokolo ya Yawe. Bolia mana oyo bobombaki; pamba te lelo, bokotikala te komona mana na libanda.
And Moses said, Eat that to day; in order to day is a sabbath unto the LORD: to day all of you shall not find it in the field.
26 Bokobanda kolokota yango mikolo motoba; kasi na mokolo ya sambo, mokolo ya Saba, mana ekobanda kozala te.
Six days all of you shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.
27 Atako bongo, na mokolo ya sambo, bato mosusu kati na bango babimaki mpo na kolokota yango, kasi bamonaki eloko te.
And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the seventh day in order to gather, and they found none.
28 Boye Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Kino tango nini bokoboya kobatela mibeko mpe malako na Ngai?
And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse all of you to keep my commandments and my laws?
29 Botia na mito na bino ete Ngai Yawe, napesaki bino mokolo ya Saba. Yango wana, na mokolo ya motoba, napesaka bino mapa mpo na mikolo mibale. Boye tika ete, na mokolo ya sambo, moto na moto avanda epai na ye; moko te abima na libanda.
See, for that the LORD has given you the sabbath, therefore he gives you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide all of you every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.
30 Boye bato bapemaki na mokolo ya sambo.
So the people rested on the seventh day.
31 Bato ya Isalaele babengaki lipa yango mana. Ezalaki pembe lokola bambuma ya koriande mpe elengi lokola mikate balamba na mafuta ya nzoyi.
And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.
32 Moyize alobaki: — Tala mibeko oyo Yawe apesi: « Bozwa omeri moko ya mana mpe bobomba yango mpo na milongo ya bakitani na bino oyo ekoya, mpo ete bamona mapa oyo naleisaki bino na esobe tango nabimisaki bino na Ejipito. »
And Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD commands, Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they may see the bread wherewith I have fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.
33 Boye Moyize alobi na Aron: — Kamata ekolo moko mpe tia omeri moko ya mana kati na yango; bongo tia yango liboso ya Yawe mpo ete ebombama mpo na milongo oyo ekoya.
And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna therein, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept for your generations.
34 Ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki Moyize, Aron atiaki mana yango liboso ya Sanduku ya Boyokani mpo ete ebombama malamu.
As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
35 Bana ya Isalaele baliaki mana mibu tuku minei kino tango bakomaki na mondelo ya mokili ya Kanana.
And the children of Israel did eat manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited; they did eat manna, until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan.
36 Omeri moko ekokani na eteni ya zomi ya efa.
Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
