Exodus 16 (ASG)

1Aza a Isaraila ra̱ka̱ a̱ ka̱sukpa̱i Elim, ɗa a banai e meremune ma na e ci ɗeke Sin. Wi ta̱ e mere me Elim n Sinai. Ili i nanlo i yaꞋan ta̱ a kanna ke gendu ko wotoi u ire ana a̱ uta̱i a Masar.On the fifteenth day of the second month after they had left the land of Egypt, the whole congregation of Israel set out from Elim and came to the Desert of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai.

2E meremune ma ɗe, ɗa aza a Isaraila ra̱ka̱ a yaꞋankai Haruna m Musa mololo.And there in the desert the whole congregation of Israel grumbled against Moses and Aaron.

3Aza a Isaraila a danai le, <<Wi ishi ta̱ a kulaꞋa n kugaꞋan Vuzavaguɗu wu una tsu ɗe a Masar. Adama a na a Masar ɗe ci ci lyaꞋa ta̱ ili i na ci cigai n inyama dem ayin tutu. Ama vu tuka̱i tsu na e meremune, adama a na vu una tsu n kambulu.>>“If only we had died by the LORD’s hand in the land of Egypt!” they said. “There we sat by pots of meat and ate our fill of bread, but you have brought us into this desert to starve this whole assembly to death!”

4Ɗa Vuzavaguɗu u danai Musa, <<Mi ta̱ a kuzuwa ilikulya i yikpa̱ a iɗika tsu na o ci yoꞋo mini, kanna dem vuza wu uta̱ u ciya̱ ilikulyaꞋa i na i kuyawa yi a kanna. Tsu nampa tsu ɗa n kukondo le ko a kufuɗa o tono kadanshi ka̱ va̱ ko a kufuɗa ba.Then the LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I will rain down bread from heaven for you. Each day the people are to go out and gather enough for that day. In this way I will test whether or not they will follow My instructions.

5A kanna ka̱ ta̱li o ɓolongu ilikulya i na i kuyawa una̱ u kulyaꞋa kure, i laꞋa uteku tsu na i ishi a ci yaꞋansa, ka̱ta̱ a lapula i ɗa.>>Then on the sixth day, when they prepare what they bring in, it will be twice as much as they gather on the other days.”

6Ɗa Musa n Haruna a danai uma a, <<Anana n kulivi ku nampa yi ta̱ e kuyeve an Vuzavaguɗu a̱yi ɗa vuza na wu uta̱ka̱i ɗa̱ a iɗika i Masar,So Moses and Aaron said to all the Israelites, “This evening you will know that it was the LORD who brought you out of the land of Egypt,

7n usana yi ta̱ e kene tsugbayin tsu Vuzavaguɗu, adama a na a̱yi u pana ta̱ ka̱sa̱la̱ ka na yi a kuyaꞋansa ayin dem. A̱ tsu ɗa anan ya, ali ɗa yi a kuyaꞋanka tsu mololo?>>and in the morning you will see the LORD’s glory, because He has heard your grumbling against Him. For who are we, that you should grumble against us?”

8Ɗa Musa u danai kpamu, <<Yi ta̱ e kuyeve a na a̱yi ɗa Vuzavaguɗu ayin a na baci u nekei ɗa̱ boroji vu na yi a kuciga dem n usana ɗa kpamu u nekei ɗa̱ inyama n kulivi. Adama a na u pana ta̱ mololo ma na i yaꞋankai ni. A̱ tsu ɗa anan ya? Vuzavaguɗu ɗa yi a kuyaꞋanka mololo, a̱ tsu ɗa ba.>>And Moses added, “The LORD will give you meat to eat this evening and bread to fill you in the morning, for He has heard your grumbling against Him. Who are we? Your grumblings are not against us but against the LORD.”

9Ɗa Musa u danai Haruna, <<Dana umaci wa aza a Isaraila ra̱ka̱, <Ta̱wa̱i u Vuzavaguɗu gbende vu ɗa̱, adama a na u pana ta̱ mololo ma̱ ɗa̱.> >>Then Moses said to Aaron, “Tell the whole congregation of Israel, ‘Come before the LORD, for He has heard your grumbling.’”

10Ana Haruna wi a kadanshi n uma a Isaraila ra̱ka̱, ɗa a̱ la̱na̱i uɓon u meremune, ɗa e enei tsugbayin tsu Vuzavaguɗu e eleshu.And as Aaron was speaking to the whole congregation of Israel, they looked toward the desert, and there in a cloud the glory of the LORD appeared.

11Vuzavaguɗu u danai Musa,Then the LORD said to Moses,

12<<M pana ta̱ ka̱sa̱la̱ ka aza a Isaraila ka. Dana le, <N kulivi, yi ta̱ a̱ kuciya̱ inyama i kutakuma, n usana dem yi ta̱ a̱ kuciya̱ ilikulya. Ta lo i kuyeve a na mpa ɗa Vuzavaguɗu Ka̱shile ka̱ ɗa̱.> >>“I have heard the grumbling of the Israelites. Tell them, ‘At twilight you will eat meat, and in the morning you will be filled with bread. Then you will know that I am the LORD your God.’”

13N kulivi ku nanlo, ɗa nroni n ta̱wa̱i n kimba̱i le ra̱ka̱. Ɗa n usana, ciza tsu matsai n a̱bunda̱i tsu ka̱ra̱Ꞌi ubuta̱ u na i va.That evening quail came and covered the camp, and in the morning there was a layer of dew around the camp.

14Ana ciza tsu sa̱ruwa̱i tsu kotsoi, ɗa ili i yoku wa̱ri tsu egele yo okpoi lo a iɗika ya.When the layer of dew had evaporated, there were thin flakes on the desert floor, as fine as frost on the ground.

15Ana aza a Isaraila e enei nannai, ɗa e ecenei, <<Yiɗa̱i tamkpamu nannai?>> Adama a na ishi e yeve ili ya ba. Ɗa Musa u danai le, <<Ilikulya i ɗa Vuzavaguɗu u nekei ɗa̱ i lyaꞋa.When the Israelites saw it, they asked one another, “What is it?” For they did not know what it was. So Moses told them, “It is the bread that the LORD has given you to eat.

16Ili i na Vuzavaguɗu u danai i ɗaɗa na, <Yaba dem u ɓolongu tsu na u kuyawa yi kulyaꞋa. Kenuki mokoko me te adama a uteku u ka̱bunda̱i ka na ki punu a̱ ka̱pa̱m ka.> >>This is what the LORD has commanded: ‘Each one is to gather as much as he needs. You may take an omer for each person in your tent.’”

17Ɗa aza a Isaraila a yaꞋin tsu na a danai le, aza o yoku o ɓolongi n a̱bunda̱i aza o yoku kpamu kenkeꞋen.So the Israelites did this. Some gathered more, and some less.

18Ana a gisangushi i ɗa n kakpanu, ɗa yaba dem u ciya̱i tsu na u kuyawa yi. Aza a na o ɓolongi n a̱bunda̱i a buwa n ili ba, aza a na o ɓolongi kenu ɗa a buwai n i na i kuyawa le. KpaꞋa dem kuciya̱i tsu na ki a kuciga.When they measured it by the omer, he who gathered much had no excess, and he who gathered little had no shortfall. Each one gathered as much as he needed to eat.

19Ɗa Musa u danai le, <<Ka̱ta̱ vuza u lyaꞋa u buwaka adama a mkpaꞋa ba.>>Then Moses said to them, “No one may keep any of it until morning.”

20Ama aza o yoku a iwan ta̱ kupana, ɗa o foɓoi i yoku ali a kubana usana. Azun a shanai punu ali i ɗa i gita̱i kuta̱ ushami u gbani-gbani, ɗa ta na Musa u yaꞋin wupa n ele.But they did not listen to Moses; some people left part of it until morning, and it became infested with maggots and began to smell. So Moses was angry with them.

21Usana dem yaba dem u tsu ɓolongu ta̱ i na u cigai, ama i na i buwai kanna ka suɗukpa baci ka̱ta̱ i derikpe.Every morning each one gathered as much as was needed, and when the sun grew hot, it melted away.

22A kanna ka̱ ta̱li yaba dem u ɓolongi ali ugboku u re wu nkokoꞋo n re tsu na ishi o tsu ɓolongu, ɗa nkoshi m gba̱ra̱-gba̱ra̱ m banai u Musa ɗa a danai ni.On the sixth day, they gathered twice as much food—two omers per person—and all the leaders of the congregation came and reported this to Moses.

23Ɗa u danai le, <<Ili i na Vuzavaguɗu u danai i ɗaɗa na, mkpaꞋa kanna ka Ashibi kaꞋa ka ciɗa kanna ka kuvuka, kangalai ili i na i kukangala ka̱ta̱ kpamu i laluku i na kpamu i kulaluku, zuwai ili i na i buwai dem a kubana usana u yoku.>>He told them, “This is what the LORD has said: ‘Tomorrow is to be a day of complete rest, a holy Sabbath to the LORD. So bake what you want to bake, and boil what you want to boil. Then set aside whatever remains and keep it until morning.’”

24O foɓoi ilikulya ya tsu na Musa u danai le, ana kayin ka asai ilikulya ya i shama ba, i uwa feu azuꞋun ba.So they set it aside until morning as Moses had commanded, and it did not smell or contain any maggots.

25Ɗa Musa u danai le, <<LyaꞋi i ɗa anana, adama a na anana kanna ka Ashibi kaꞋa kanna ka kuvuka ka na kpamu e nekei Vuzavaguɗu, ye kene ilikulya lo pulai a iɗika ba.“Eat it today,” Moses said, “because today is a Sabbath to the LORD. Today you will not find anything in the field.

26Yi ta̱ a kufuɗa ye kene ilikulya pulai ali ayin a̱ ta̱li ama a kanna ka Ashibi i kene ili ba.>>For six days you may gather, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, it will not be there.”

27A kanna ke cindere aza o yoku a banai adama a na o ɓolongu ilikulya ama e ene ili ba.Yet on the seventh day some of the people went out to gather, but they did not find anything.

28Ɗa Vuzavaguɗu u danai Musa, <<Wannai ɗai uma a̱ va̱ a̱ kuka̱sukpa̱ kuꞋiwan kadanshi ka̱ va̱ n kuyotsongusu ku va̱?Then the LORD said to Moses, “How long will you refuse to keep My commandments and instructions?

29Ciɓai a na Vuzavaguɗu ɗa u nekei ɗa̱ Ashibi. I ɗaɗa i zuwai ɗa u nekei ɗa̱ ilikulya i na i kuyawa ɗa̱ ali ayin e re. Yaba dem vu ɗa̱ u da̱sa̱ngu a kpaꞋa a kanna ke cindere ka nanlo ka̱ta̱ wu uvuka u bana a̱ ubuta̱ ba.>>Understand that the LORD has given you the Sabbath; that is why on the sixth day He will give you bread for two days. On the seventh day, everyone must stay where he is; no one may leave his place.”

30Ɗa uma a a uvukai a kanna ke cindere.So the people rested on the seventh day.

31Ɗaɗa uma a Isaraila e ɗekei ilikulya ya mana, I ɗa yi ta̱ kenkeꞋen wa̱ri ci igeɓetsu, uyoꞋo ce emeshe a̱ ishigi.Now the house of Israel called the bread manna. It was white like coriander seed and tasted like wafers made with honey.

32Ɗa Musa u danai uma, ili i na Vuzavaguɗu u danai i ɗaɗa na, <<Vuzavaguɗu u danai, <Foɓoi mokoko me te ma mana, adama a na mi ta̱ a kuciga ntsukaya n na n kuta̱wa̱ me ene, e yeve icuꞋu yi ilikulya i na n nekei ɗa̱ a ayin a na yi e meremune a na mu uta̱ka̱i ɗa̱ a Masar.> >>Moses said, “This is what the LORD has commanded: ‘Keep an omer of manna for the generations to come, so that they may see the bread I fed you in the wilderness when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.’”

33Ɗa Musa u danai Haruna, <<Kenuku mana vi yoku vu zuwa e kedele a̱ ubuta̱ u na ci ci yaꞋanka Ka̱shile a̱ga̱nda̱ adama a ntsukaya n na mi lo a̱ kuta̱wa̱.>>So Moses told Aaron, “Take a jar and fill it with an omer of manna. Then place it before the LORD to be preserved for the generations to come.”

34Tsu na Vuzavaguɗu u danai, ɗa Haruna u zuwai vu ɗa e kelime ka Akpati vu Uzuwakpani, adama a na vi yaꞋan wadani.And Aaron placed it in front of the Testimony, to be preserved just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

35Aza a Isaraila a yaꞋan ta̱ a̱ya̱ amangere ele a kulyaꞋasa mana, sai ayin a na a yawai a̱ likuci i na uma i ida̱shi. A lyaꞋasa ta̱ mana ali sai ayin a na a yawai a̱ ka̱kina̱ ka KanaꞋana.The Israelites ate manna forty years, until they came to a land where they could settle; they ate manna until they reached the border of Canaan.

36Mokoko mi ta̱ derere n ugboku u te u ifa.(Now an omer is a tenth of an ephah.)
