Exodus 16 (GAX)

1Kolbaan Israa'elii marti biyya Gibxi'iitii bayaneen duuba, ji'a lammeesso'oo guyyaa kudhanii shaneesso'oo, Eliimii ka'anee gara goomolee Siinii ta Eliimii fi gaara Siina'aa wodhakkaa jirtuu dhufane.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.

2Kolbaan Israa'elii marti goomolee san keessatti Muuse'ee fi Aaronitti gungumanee,And there in the desert the whole congregation of Israel grumbled against Moses and Aaron.

3isaaniin, «Achi biyya Gibxi'ii keessatti okkotee foonii cinaa teennee, daabbo'oo fi foon haga feene nyaataa harka Waaqaatitti adoo dhumannee nuu woyya. Isin ammoo kolbaa duudii goomolee tana keessatti beelaan fixiisaaf as fiddane» jedhane.“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!”

4Achiin duuba Mootiin Waan Maraa Muuse'een, «Kunoo ani amma sagalee ol gubbaa irraa gad isiniif roobisiisa; kolbaalle gad baatee, guyyuma guyya'aan ta guyyaa tokkoof teetu qofa guurattuu ti. Ani tanaan akka isaan ajaja kiyya eegatanu haga isaan ilaala.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.

5Guyyaa jayeesso'oo, ka qara guyyaa tokkoof guuratanu san harka lama guuratanuu ti» jedhe.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.”

6Maarre Muuse'ee fi Aaronille Israa'eloota maraan, «Biyya Gibxi'ii keessaa ka isin baase Mootii Waan Maraa akka te'e, galgala adhaa hin beettan;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,

7Inni gungunsuu isin isa irratti gunguntane waan dhage'eef, boru ganama ulfinna Mootii Waan Maraa hin dhaggitan; nuuti womaa moti; isa irratti gunguma'a malee, nu irratti hin gungumina'a» jedhane.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?”

8Achiin duuba Muuseen, «Mootiin Waan Maraa gungunsuu isin isa irratti gunguntane waan dhage'eef, galgala foon isin nyaattanu, ganama daabboo isin barbaaddanu mara yennaa isinii kenne, akka inni Mootii Waan Maraa te'e hin beettan. Nuuti womaa moti; isin isa irratti gunguntane malee, nu irrattii moti» jedhe.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.”

9Achiin duuba Muuseen Aaroniin, «Kolbaa Israa'elii maraan, ‹Mootiin Waan Maraa gungunsuu teessan waan dhage'eef, fuula isaa dura dhikaadha'a› jedhiin» jedhe.Then Moses said to Aaron, “Tell the whole congregation of Israel, ‘Come before the LORD, for He has heard your grumbling.’”

10Aaron kolbaa Israa'elii maratti adoo dubbatiisatti jiruu, isaan gara goomole'ee ilaalanee, achitti ulfinni Mootii Waan Maraa duumensa keessatti mudhate.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.

11Ammalle Mootiin Waan Maraa Muuse'een,Then the LORD said to Moses,

12«Ani gungunsuu Israa'elootaa dhage'eera. Ati isaaniin ‹galgala adhaa dimimmisa foon hin nyaattan; ganama daabboo hin quuttan; achiin duuba ani Mootii Waan Maraa Waaqa keessan akka te'e hin beettan› jedhiin» jedhe.“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.’”

13Galgala san barbadi-kille dhuttee addee quttumaa guutte; ganama fixeensi adaala addee quttumaa san jiraayyu.That evening quail came and covered the camp, and in the morning there was a layer of dew around the camp.

14Yennaa fixeensi bu'e, solloqqeen hephelleen dhakaa roobaa fakkaattu, diida lafa goomole'ee irratti mudhatte.When the layer of dew had evaporated, there were thin flakes on the desert floor, as fine as frost on the ground.

15Israa'elooti yennaa waan san dhaggite, maan akka te'e waan hin beenneef, «Wonni kun maan inni?» jedhanee wol gaafatane. Muuseen isaaniin, «Wonni kun akka isin nyaattanuuf, daabboo Mootiin Waan Maraa isiniif kenne.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.

16Mootiin Waan Maraa, ‹Tokko tokkoon keessan haga isiniif barbaachisu guuradha'a. Nama dunkaanii teessan keessa jiru tokko tokkoofuu Omeera tokko fuudha'a› jedhee ajajeera» jedhe.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.’”

17Israa'elootille akkuma isaanitti himame tolchane; gariin bacaa, gariin diqquma guuratane;So the Israelites did this. Some gathered more, and some less.

18yennaa safaratane, ka bacaa guurrateef irraa hin hanneef; ka diqqeessee guurateefille irraa hin dhidhanne; nami tokko tokkooyyuu haguma isaaf barbaachise guurate.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.

19Achiin duuba Muuseen isaaniin, «Nami tokkolle waan guurate san boruuf hin bulfatin» jedhe.Then Moses said to them, “No one may keep any of it until morning.”

20Te'uu malee worri gariin jecha Muuse'ee dhageettaa didee, waan guurate san irraa boruuf bulfate; wonni sun ammoo corroqottee ajootte; Maarre Muuseen isaanitti aare.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.

21Ganama ganama nami martinuu haga nyaataaf isaanii barbaachisu guuratane; yennaa aduun o'ite wonni sun baxxe.Every morning each one gathered as much as was needed, and when the sun grew hot, it melted away.

22Guyyaa jayeesso'oo nami martinuu litirii lama, dachaa lama guurate; sooressitooti kolba'aa gara Muuse'ee dhufanee waan kana isatti himane;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.

23innille deebisee isaaniin, «Mootiin Waan Maraa, guyyaan boruu isaaf woyyoomee guyyaa fooraa akka te'u ajajeera; tanaaf adhuma waan bilcheeffattanu bilcheeffadha'a, waan iffeelattanulle iffeeladha'a; waan hafe haga boru ganamaatitti maffadha'a» jedhe.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.’”

24Isaanille akkuma Muuseen ajaje haga ganamaatitti maffatane; wonni sunille hin ajoonne yookiin hin corroqoonne.So they set it aside until morning as Moses had commanded, and it did not smell or contain any maggots.

25Muuseen, «Adha kanuma nyaadha'a; sababille guyyaan adhaa Sanbata guyyaa fooraa ka Mootii Waan Maraatiif woyyoome waan te'eef, waan nyaattanu kana adha tokkolle lafa irratti hin dhaggitanu.“Eat it today,” Moses said, “because today is a Sabbath to the LORD. Today you will not find anything in the field.

26Guyyaa jaa waan nyaataa kana guuradha; guyyaan torbeesso'oo, guyyaa fooraa Sanbata ammoo wonni tokkolle hin jiraattu» jedhe.For six days you may gather, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, it will not be there.”

27Te'uu malee, guyyaa torbeesso'oo san worri gariin waan nyaatanu san guuratiisaaf yaa'ane; ammoo waan tokkolle hin dhagganne.Yet on the seventh day some of the people went out to gather, but they did not find anything.

28Achiin duuba Mootiin Waan Maraa Muuse'een, «Isin haga yoomii ajajaa fi seerata kiyya eegatuu diddan?Then the LORD said to Moses, “How long will you refuse to keep My commandments and instructions?

29Ani Mootiin Waan Maraa guyyaa fooraa Sanbata akka isiniif kenne qalbeeffadha'a; tanaaf ani gaafa guyyaa jayeesso'oo waan nyaattanu ta guyyaa lamaa isiniif kenne. Guyyaa torbeesso'oo eennulle addee jiru turuu ti malee, qe'ee ifiitii hin bayin» jedhe.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.”

30Maarre guyyaa torbeesso'oo kolbaan foorfatte.So the people rested on the seventh day.

31Kolbaa Israa'elii waan nyaatanu saniin «Mannaa» jette. Wonni sun adii akka midhaan dinbilaalaa, mi'aan isaalle akka daabboo dammaan hujantee ti.Now the house of Israel called the bread manna. It was white like coriander seed and tasted like wafers made with honey.

32Muuseen, «Mootiin Waan Maraa, ‹Biyya Gibxi'ii keessaa yennaa isin baase, lafa goomole'ee keessatti mannaa isin nyaachisaa ture kana, dhalooti dhufulle akka dhagguuf, mannaa kana irraa Omeerii tokko massa'a› jedhee ajajeera» jedhe.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.’”

33Maarre Muuseen Aaroniin, «Okkotee fuudhiiti, mannaa litirii tokko itti naqi. Achiin duuba fuula Mootii Waan Maraa duratti, dhaloota dhufuuf massi» jedhe.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.”

34Akkuma Mootiin Waan Maraa Muusee ajaje, Aaron mannaa san Saanduqa Gondooro'oo duratti masse.And Aaron placed it in front of the Testimony, to be preserved just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

35Israa'elooti lafa itti qubatane Kana'aan haga geyanutti woggaa afurtama mannaa nyaatane.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.

36Omeeriin tokko eefaa harka kudhan keessaa harka tokko.(Now an omer is a tenth of an ephah.)
