Exodus 16 (TDX)

1Ami’ty andro fahafolo lime ambi’ i volam-paha-roe niavota’ iareo an-tane Mitsraimey, le nañavelo boak’ Elime ty valobohò’ Israele vaho nivotrak’ am-patrambei’ i Sine añivo’ i Elime naho i Sinày.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.

2Nitoreo amy Mosè naho i Aharone am-patrambey ao i valobohò’ Israeley;And there in the desert the whole congregation of Israel grumbled against Moses and Aaron.

3le nanoa’ o ana’ Israeleo ty hoe, Hamake te navetram-pità’ Iehovà an-tane Mitsraime ao, ie nitoboke marine’ o valañen-kenao vaho nikama mahakama ampara’ te nietsake; fe nasese’o ampatrambey atoy ty fivoribey toy ho zamane’o an-kasalikoañe.“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!”

4Le hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè, Ingo, hampikojojoahako mahakama boak’ andikerañe añe vaho hiavotse mb’eo boak’ andro ondatio hanontoñe i tsaraeñey, ze mahatsàke i àndroy, hitsohako iareo, ke hañaveloa’ iareo i Hake natolokoy ke ts’ie.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.

5Ie amy andro fah’ eneñey le halankañe’ iereo o natonto’eo, fa ho indroe’ty famoria’ iareo boak’ andro.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.”

6Aa le hoe t’i Mosè naho i Aharone amo hene ana’ Israeleo, Ho fohi’ areo hariva te Iehovà ty nañavotse anahareo an-tane Mitsraimey,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,

7le ie maraindray ho isa’ areo ty enge’ Iehovà, fa jinanji’e ty fitoreo’ areo am’ Iehovà. Aa inon-jahay te itoreova’ areo?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?”

8Le hoe t’i Mosè, hanjotsoa’ Iehovà hena ho kamae’ areo te hariva naho mahakama mahaanjañe te maraindraiñe, amy te janji’ Iehovà ty fimenomeno’ areo te miñeoñeoñe—fa inon-jahay? Tsy ama’ay ty fiñeoñeo’ areo fa am’ Iehovà.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.”

9Le hoe t’i Mosè amy Aharone, Saontsio o valobohò’ Israeleo, Miharinea am’ Iehovà, fa jinanji’e ty fitoreo’ areo.Then Moses said to Aaron, “Tell the whole congregation of Israel, ‘Come before the LORD, for He has heard your grumbling.’”

10Aa naho nilañoñe amy valobohò’ Israeley t’i Aharone, ie nitolike mb’ ampatrambey eñe, ingo, niboak’ amy rahoñey ty enge’ Iehovà.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.

11Nitsara amy Mosè t’Iehovà nanao ty hoe,Then the LORD said to Moses,

12Fa tsinanoko ty fitoreova’ o ana’ Israeleo; aa le taroño am’ iereo ty hoe, hikama hena iereo te hariva, naho ho ànja-mahakama iereo te maraindray vaho hapota’ areo te Izaho Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo.“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.’”

13Ie amy harivay, nionjom-b’eo o hatrakatrakeo nañatseke i tobey; le ie maraindraiñe hoe nizotsoan-jono ty añ’ariari’ i tobey.That evening quail came and covered the camp, and in the morning there was a layer of dew around the camp.

14Ie nionjoñe i zonoy, le ingo ty raha bory nilamak’ am-patrambey ey, hoe sisi’e, matify hoe tihin-tà an-tane eo.When the layer of dew had evaporated, there were thin flakes on the desert floor, as fine as frost on the ground.

15Ie niisa’ o ana’ Israeleo i raha zay, le hoe ty nifanoiña’ iereo, Ino zao? Amy t’ie nahaalik’ iareo. Le hoe t’i Mosè am’ iereo, Ie ty mahakama nazotso’ Iehovà ama’ areo ho kamaeñe.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.

16Inao ty nandilia’ Iehovà: Atontono ty hikama’areo, sindre omere raike, ty ami’ty ia’ ondati’o, sindre hangalake ty mahaeneñe.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.’”

17Nanoe’ o ana’ Israeleo izay, le namory, teo ty nanontoñe maro, teo ty nanontoñe kede.So the Israelites did this. Some gathered more, and some less.

18Aa ie nikapoahe’ iareo ami’ty omere, le tsy nanisa ty nanontoñe maro vaho tsy niereñe ty nanontoñe potrapotra’e, songa nanontoñe ty nahaeneñe aze.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.

19Le hoe ty nanoa’ i Mosè, Asoao tsy hanisaeñe ty maraiñe.Then Moses said to them, “No one may keep any of it until morning.”

20Fe tsy hinao’ iareo t’i Mosè, teo ty nanisa ami’ty maraiñe, le nipoahan’ oletse vaho nitrotròtse. Aa le niviñera’ i Mosè.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.

21Boa-maraiñe ty natonto’ iareo, ty amo falie mikamao; ie nipisañe ty àndro le nimosaoñe.Every morning each one gathered as much as was needed, and when the sun grew hot, it melted away.

22Fa ami’ty andro fah’ eneñe, songa nitoha indroe’ ty mahakama’e, sindre omere roe vaho hene niheo mb’eo o androanavi’ i fivoribeiio nitalily amy Mosè,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.

23le hoe re am’ iereo, Hoe ty nitsarae’ Iehovà: Fitofàñe ty hamaray, Sabata masiñe am’ Iehovà; atoñaho ze hatoña’ areo naho ahandrò ze ahandroeñe te anito, le amiho ho ami’ty maraiñe.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.’”

24Aa le namike ho ami’ty maraiñe, amy nitoroa’ i Mosèy fa tsy nimantiñe vaho tsy aman-oletse.So they set it aside until morning as Moses had commanded, and it did not smell or contain any maggots.

25Hoe t’i Mosè, Mikama anito, fa Fitofañe am’ Iehovà ty androany vaho tsy ho zoeñe an-kivok’ añe izay te anito.“Eat it today,” Moses said, “because today is a Sabbath to the LORD. Today you will not find anything in the field.

26Eneñ’ andro ty hanontona’ areo, f’ie tsy ho tendreke ami’ty andro fahafito, ie Sabata.For six days you may gather, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, it will not be there.”

27Ie amy andro fahafitoy, teo t’indaty nitoha fe tsy naharendreke.Yet on the seventh day some of the people went out to gather, but they did not find anything.

28Hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè, Pak’ ombia ty mbe hifoneña’ areo tsy hañorike o lilikoo naho i Fetsekoy?Then the LORD said to Moses, “How long will you refuse to keep My commandments and instructions?

29Inao, te natolo’ Iehovà anahareo ty Sabotse; izay ty anjotsoa’e amy andro fahaeneñey ty mofo mahatsàk’ andro roe. Songa midok’ an-toe’e, Ko apo’o ndra iaia hiavotse amy toe’e ami’ty andro faha-fito.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.”

30Aa le songa nitofa ami’ty andro faha-fito ondatio.So the people rested on the seventh day.

31Natao’ o ana’ Israeleo màne i mofoy. Nifoty hoe kabaro maike naho hoe mofo pisake nanoeñe an-tantele.Now the house of Israel called the bread manna. It was white like coriander seed and tasted like wafers made with honey.

32Hoe t’i Mosè, Zao ty linili’ Iehovà, Añatsafo omere raik’ ama’e, hahaja ho amo tarira’areo mifandimbeo, hahaoniña’ iereo i mahakama namahanako anahareo am-patrambey ao t’ie nampiengàko an-tane Mitsraimey.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.’”

33Le hoe t’i Mosè amy Aharone, Andrambeso korojy le agodoño ao ty màne mahatsàke ty omere vaho ahajao añatrefa’ Iehovà ho fihaja amo tarira’areoo.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.”

34Amy nandilia’ Iehovà i Mosèy, ty nampipoha’ i Aharone aze aolo’ i fañinay ho fihaja.And Aaron placed it in front of the Testimony, to be preserved just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

35Nikama màne efapolo taoñe o ana’ Israeleo, ampara’ te nivotrak’ an-tane fimoneñañe añe; nikama màne ampara’ t’ie nitotsake añ’efetane Kanàne ao.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.

36Toe fahafolo ty efà ty omere.(Now an omer is a tenth of an ephah.)
