Exodus 16 (YOR)

1Ìjọ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli mú ọ̀nà wọn pọ̀n kúrò ni Elimu, wọ́n dé sí ijù Sini tí ó wà láàrín Elimu àti Sinai, ni ọjọ́ kẹ́ẹ̀dógún oṣù kejì tí wọ́n jáde kúrò ni ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.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.

2Gbogbo ìjọ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì ń kùn sí Mose àti Aaroni ní ijù náà.And there in the desert the whole congregation of Israel grumbled against Moses and Aaron.

3Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli wí fún wọn pé, “Àwa ìbá ti ọwọ́ Olúwa kú ni Ejibiti! Níbi tí àwa ti jókòó ti ìkòkò ẹran ti a sì ń jẹ ohun gbogbo tí a fẹ́ ni àjẹyó, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin mú wa wá sí inú ijù yìí láti fi ebi pa wá tí a ó fi kú.”“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!”

4Nígbà náà ni Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé, “Èmi yóò rọ òjò oúnjẹ láti ọ̀run wá fún yín. Àwọn ènìyàn yóò sì máa jáde lọ ni ọjọ́ kọ̀ọ̀kan láti kó ìwọ̀nba oúnjẹ ti ó tó fún oúnjẹ òòjọ́ wọn. Ní ọ̀nà yìí ni, èmi yóò fi dán wọn wò láti mọ bóyá wọn yóò máa tẹ̀lé ìlànà mi.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.

5Ní ọjọ́ kẹfà, ki wọn kó ìlọ́po méjì èyí tiwọn ń ko ni ojoojúmọ́ tẹ́lẹ̀.”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.”

6Mose àti Aaroni sọ fún gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Israẹli pé, “Ní ìrọ̀lẹ́, ẹ̀yin yóò mọ̀ pé Olúwa ni ó mú un yín jáde láti Ejibiti wá.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,

7Ní òwúrọ̀, ẹ̀yin yóò ri ògo Olúwa, nítorí òun ti gbọ́ kíkùn tí ẹ kùn sí i. Ta ni àwa ti ẹ̀yin yóò máa kùn sí wa?”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?”

8Mose tún wí pé, “Ẹ̀yin yóò mọ pé Olúwa ni, nígbà ti ó bá fún un yín ni ẹran ni ìrọ̀lẹ́ àti gbogbo oúnjẹ ti ẹ̀yin ń fẹ́ ni òwúrọ̀, nítorí kíkùn ti ẹ̀yin ń kùn sí i. Ta ni àwa? Ẹ̀yin kò kùn sí àwa, Olúwa ni ẹ̀yin kùn sí i.”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.”

9Nígbà náà ni Mose sọ fún Aaroni pe, “Sọ fún gbogbo ìjọ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli pe, ‘Ẹ wá sí iwájú Olúwa, nítorí òun ti gbọ́ kíkùn yín.’ ”Then Moses said to Aaron, “Tell the whole congregation of Israel, ‘Come before the LORD, for He has heard your grumbling.’”

10Ó sì ṣe bí Aaroni ti ń bá gbogbo ìjọ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sọ̀rọ̀, wọn si bojú wo ìhà ijù, sì kíyèsi ògo Olúwa si farahàn ni àwọsánmọ̀.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.

11Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé,Then the LORD said to Moses,

12“Èmi ti gbọ́ kíkùn àwọn ọmọ Israẹli. Sọ fun wọn, ‘Ní àṣálẹ́, ẹ̀yin yóò jẹ ẹran, àti ni òwúrọ̀ ni ẹ̀yin yóò jẹ oúnjẹ. Nígbà náà ni ẹ̀yin yóò mọ̀ pé Èmi ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín.’ ”“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.’”

13Ní àṣálẹ́ ọjọ́ náà ni àwọn àparò fò dé, wọ́n sì bo àgọ́ mọ́lẹ̀, ní òwúrọ̀ ìrì sì sẹ̀ yí gbogbo àgọ́ náà ká.That evening quail came and covered the camp, and in the morning there was a layer of dew around the camp.

14Nígbà tí ìrì tí ó sẹ̀ bo ilẹ̀ ti lọ, kíyèsi i, ohun tí ó dì, tí ó sì ń yooru bí i yìnyín wà lórí ilẹ̀.When the layer of dew had evaporated, there were thin flakes on the desert floor, as fine as frost on the ground.

15Nígbà tí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli rí i, wọ́n bi ara wọn léèrè pé, “Kí ni èyí?” Nítorí pé wọn kò mọ ohun tí i ṣe. Mose sì wí fún wọn pé, “Èyí ni oúnjẹ tí Olúwa fi fún un yín láti jẹ.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.

16Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ, ‘Kí olúkúlùkù máa kó èyí ti ó tó fún un láti jẹ. Ẹ mú òsùwọ̀n omeri kan fún ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan ti ó wà nínú àgọ́ yín.’ ”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.’”

17Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì ṣe bí a ti sọ fún wọn; àwọn kan kó púpọ̀, àwọn kan kó kékeré.So the Israelites did this. Some gathered more, and some less.

18Nígbà tí wọ́n fi òsùwọ̀n omeri wọ̀n-ọ́n, ẹni tí ó kó púpọ̀ kò ní púpọ̀ jù, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ẹni tí ó kó ìwọ̀nba kò ní kéré jù. Ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan kó ìwọ̀nba ti ó tó fún un.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.

19Mose sì wí fún wọ́n pé, “Kí ẹnikẹ́ni ó má ṣe kó pamọ́ lára rẹ̀ di òwúrọ̀ ọjọ́ kejì.”Then Moses said to them, “No one may keep any of it until morning.”

20Ṣùgbọ́n, àwọn kan nínú wọn kò fetí sí Mose, wọ́n kó lára rẹ̀ pamọ́ di òwúrọ̀ ọjọ́ kejì, ohun ti wọ́n kó pamọ́ kún fún ìdin, ó sì ti bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní rùn. Nítorí náà Mose bínú sí wọn.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.

21Ní òwúrọ̀, ni ojoojúmọ́ ni ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan ń lọ kó ìwọ̀nba ti ó tó fún un láti jẹ, bí oòrùn bá sì mú, a sì yọ́.Every morning each one gathered as much as was needed, and when the sun grew hot, it melted away.

22Ní ọjọ́ kẹfà, wọ́n kó ìlọ́po méjì èyí tiwọn ń kó tẹ́lẹ̀: òsùwọ̀n omeri méjì fún ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan; àwọn olórí ìjọ ènìyàn sì wá, wọ́n sì sọ èyí fún Mose.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.

23Ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa pàṣẹ: ‘Ọ̀la jẹ́ ọjọ́ ìsinmi, ìsinmi mímọ́ fún Olúwa. Ẹ yan èyí ti ẹ̀yin ní yan, kí ẹ sì bọ èyí ti ẹ̀yin ní bọ̀. Ẹ tọ́jú èyí ti ó kù sílẹ̀, kí ẹ pa á mọ́ di òwúrọ̀.’ ”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.’”

24Wọ́n sì tọ́jú rẹ̀ di òwúrọ̀ bí Mose ti pàṣẹ; kò sì rùn bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò sì ní ìdin.So they set it aside until morning as Moses had commanded, and it did not smell or contain any maggots.

25Mose sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ jẹ ẹ́ ní òní nítorí òní jẹ́ ọjọ́ ìsinmi Olúwa. Ẹ̀yin kò ni rí i ni orí ilẹ̀ ní ọjọ́ òní.“Eat it today,” Moses said, “because today is a Sabbath to the LORD. Today you will not find anything in the field.

26Ní ọjọ́ mẹ́fà ni kí ẹ fi kó o, ṣùgbọ́n ni ọjọ́ keje ọjọ́ ìsinmi, kò ní sí i fún un yín ni ọjọ́ náà.”For six days you may gather, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, it will not be there.”

27Síbẹ̀síbẹ̀ àwọn ènìyàn kan jáde lọ ní ọjọ́ keje láti kó o, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò ri nǹkan kan kó.Yet on the seventh day some of the people went out to gather, but they did not find anything.

28Olúwa sì sọ fún Mose pé, “Yóò ti pẹ́ tó ti ẹ ó kọ̀ láti pa àṣẹ mi àti ìlànà mi mọ́?Then the LORD said to Moses, “How long will you refuse to keep My commandments and instructions?

29Wò ó? Olúwa ti fún un yín ni ọjọ́ ìsinmi, nítorí náà, ni ọjọ́ kẹfà, ó fún un yín ni oúnjẹ ọjọ́ méjì; kí ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan dúró ni ibi tí ó gbé wà; kí ẹ má ṣe kúrò ni ibi tí ẹ wà ni ọjọ́ keje.”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.”

30Nítorí náà, àwọn ènìyàn sinmi ní ọjọ́ keje.So the people rested on the seventh day.

31Àwọn ènìyàn Israẹli sì pe oúnjẹ náà ní manna. Ó funfun bí irúgbìn korianderi, ó sì dùn bí àkàrà fẹ́lẹ́fẹ́lẹ́ ti a fi oyin ṣe.Now the house of Israel called the bread manna. It was white like coriander seed and tasted like wafers made with honey.

32Mose wí pé, “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa pàṣẹ, ‘Ẹ mú òsùwọ̀n omeri manna kí ẹ sì pa á mọ́ de àwọn ìran ti ń bọ̀, kí wọn kí ó lè rí oúnjẹ ti èmi fi fún un yín jẹ ní ijù, nígbà tí mo mú un yín jáde ni ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.’ ”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.’”

33Nígbà náà ni Mose sọ fún Aaroni pe, “Mú ìkòkò kan, kí o sì kó manna tí ó kún òsùwọ̀n omeri kan sí inú rẹ̀, kí o sì gbé e kalẹ̀ ni iwájú Olúwa láti tọ́jú rẹ̀ pamọ́ de àwọn ìran ti ń bọ̀.”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.”

34Bí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ fún Mose, Aaroni gbé manna sí iwájú ẹ̀rí láti pa á mọ́.And Aaron placed it in front of the Testimony, to be preserved just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

35Àwọn ará Israẹli jẹ manna fún ogójì ọdún títí wọ́n fi dé ilẹ̀ Kenaani ni ibi ti èso ti wà fún wọn láti jẹ, wọ́n jẹ manna títí tí wọ́n fi dé ilẹ̀ agbègbè Kenaani.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.

36(Òsùwọ̀n omeri kan sì jẹ́ ìdákan nínú ìdámẹ́wàá efa.)(Now an omer is a tenth of an ephah.)
