Exodus 16 (ZAJP)

1Waislaeli wose wasegela Elimu, wavika Muluwala lwa Sini, uli hagatigati ya Elimu na Gongo da Sinai. Dino dikala zua da longo dimwe na tano da mulenge wa ikabili, mulenge umwe songela viwasegele muisi ya Misili.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.

2Haja muluwala Waislaeli wose wawatwanganikila Musa na Haloni.And there in the desert the whole congregation of Israel grumbled against Moses and Aaron.

3Waislaeli wawalongela, “Vihanogile MNDEWA yahatukomile muisi ya Misili. Ako kutukalile tuzizunguluka nongo za nyama na kuja vakuja vose vitulondile. Ila mweye mtugala hano muluwala giladi kudikoma dale dino jose na nzala.”“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!”

4MNDEWA kamulongela Musa, “Sambi nowatoela mvula ya vikate kulawa kuulanga sama yenu mweye mose. Kila zua wanhu wolawa hanze na kudondola vikate va zua dimwe. Mnzila ino nowageza mweye giladi nyone kamba moziwinza ndagizi zangu.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.

5Zua da sita wabanzilize kudondola, wadondole mianza mibili ya ivikate vija viwakalile wodondola mazua gabitile. Abaho wavisasale.”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.”

6Avo Musa na Haloni wawalongela Waislaeli wose, “Ichungulo movitanga kamba MNDEWA iyo yawalavile mweye muisi ya Misili.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,

7Imitondo moyona yenzi ya MNDEWA, kwavija kahulika vumumtwanganikile. Tweye iwo walihi hata mtutwanganikile?”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?”

8Musa kagendelela kulonga, “Movitanga kamba MNDEWA iyo yawagwelele nyama muje kipigiti cha ichungulo na vikate mwigute kipigiti cha imitondo kwavija kahulika vija vumkalile mumtwanganikila. Tweye iwo walihi hata mtutwanganikile? Hamtutwanganikile tweye ila mumtwanganikila MNDEWA.”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.”

9Musa kamulongela Haloni, “Walongele Waislaeli wose, ‘Izoni haulongozi wa MNDEWA, kwavija kahulika kutwanganika kumwenu.’ ”Then Moses said to Aaron, “Tell the whole congregation of Israel, ‘Come before the LORD, for He has heard your grumbling.’”

10Kipigiti Haloni viyakalile yolonga na Waislaeli wose, walola kuluwala, na bahaja yenzi ya MNDEWA ilawilila mdiwingu.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.

11Abaho MNDEWA kamulongela Musa,Then the LORD said to Moses,

12“Nihulika kutwanganika kwa Waislaeli. Walongele, ‘Ichungulo moja nyama, na imitondo mokwigutizwa na mikate. Abaho movitanga kamba nie iyo MNDEWA Mulungu wenu.’ ”“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.’”

13Ichungulo ija weza ng'hwale na kuigubika ing'hambi, na imitondo dilawilila tungwe kuzunguluka ing'hambi.That evening quail came and covered the camp, and in the morning there was a layer of dew around the camp.

14Dija iditungwe vidisegele muluwala, voneka vidanga vibanhibanhi vizelu vili kamba balafu visigale muisi.When the layer of dew had evaporated, there were thin flakes on the desert floor, as fine as frost on the ground.

15Waislaeli viwonile gano, wakiuza, “Kinhu chaki kino?” Kwavija hawavitangile kikala kinhu chaki. Musa kawalongela, “Uno uwo mkate MNDEWA uyawagwelele muje.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.

16Vino vivo MNDEWA viyalagize, ‘Kila munhu yadondole kiasi choyolonda kuja. Kila munhu imwe mdihema jako kolondigwa yapate pishi mbili.’ ”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.’”

17Waislaeli watenda kamba viwalagizigwe, wayagwe wadondola bwando, na wayagwe wadondola kidogo.So the Israelites did this. Some gathered more, and some less.

18Ila viwapimile, ija yadondole bwando hawile na bwando, na ija yadondole kidogo hawile na kidogo. Kila munhu kadondola kiasi chayalondile kuja.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.

19Abaho Musa kawalongela, “Munhu yoyose sambiyasigaze vikate hivo mbaka imitondo.”Then Moses said to them, “No one may keep any of it until morning.”

20Ila wanhu wayagwe hawamtegeleze Musa. Wasigaza mbaka imitondo, ila bundo na mhembele walawa mvikate vija. Avo Musa kawonela lusango.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.

21Kila imitondo kila munhu kadondola kiasi chayalondile kuja, na zua vidikalike dikwaka, vija ivikate visigale hasi viyangayuka.Every morning each one gathered as much as was needed, and when the sun grew hot, it melted away.

22Zua da sita Waislaeli wadondola ivikate mianza mibili, kila munhu pishi nne. Wakulu wose wa Waislaeli wamcholela Musa na wamulongela mbuli zija,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.

23Musa kawalongela, “Vino vivo MNDEWA viyalagize, ‘Mayo yowa Zua da Mhumulo ding'alile, Sabato ing'alile ha MNDEWA.’ Avo lelo moke kija kimulonda kukoka na mtogose kija kimulonda kutogosa, na kija kisigale mkike mbaka imitondo.”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.’”

24Avo wageka mbaka imitondo kamba Musa viyalagize, na imitondo iyagwe mandia gaja gasigale hagalavile bundo ama kulava mhembele.So they set it aside until morning as Moses had commanded, and it did not smell or contain any maggots.

25Musa kawalongela, “Lelo dieni ivikate hivo, kwavija lelo dijo Zua da Mhumulo dikigwe sama ya MNDEWA. Lelo hakuwa na mana muisi.“Eat it today,” Moses said, “because today is a Sabbath to the LORD. Today you will not find anything in the field.

26Dondoleni ivikate mmazua sita, ila zua da saba dowa Zua da Mhumulo, mdizua hijo hakuwa na vikate muisi.”For six days you may gather, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, it will not be there.”

27Mdizua da saba wanhu wayagwe walawa hanze kudondola ivikate, ila hawapatile kinhu chochose.Yet on the seventh day some of the people went out to gather, but they did not find anything.

28MNDEWA kamulongela Musa, “Mbaka kipigiti chaki mweye wanhu molema kugagoga malagizo gangu na ndagizi zangu?Then the LORD said to Moses, “How long will you refuse to keep My commandments and instructions?

29Kumbukileni kamba nie, MNDEWA, niwagwelela mweye Zua da Mhumulo, kileka mana mdizua da sita niwagwelela mandia ga kuwegutiza mmazua mabili, mdizua da saba kila munhu kolondigwa yakale hanhu hayali sambiyalawe kunze.”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.”

30Avo wanhu wahumula zua da saba.So the people rested on the seventh day.

31Waislaeli wagakema mandia gaja mana. Gakala galingile kamba mbeyu ndodo nzelu, na uhagalanza, galinga kamba vikate vibanhibanhi vitendigwe na uki.Now the house of Israel called the bread manna. It was white like coriander seed and tasted like wafers made with honey.

32Musa kawalongela, “Vino vivo MNDEWA viyalagize, kalonga, ‘Soleni pishi mbili za mana mzike sama ya milelo yondaize, giladi wawone mkate uniwagwelele mweye muje kipigiti vumkalile muluwala, kipigiti vuniwalavile mweye kulawa muisi ya Misili.’ ”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.’”

33Musa kamulongela Haloni, “Sola kombe, ika pishi mbili za mana mgati yake, na udike haulongozi wa MNDEWA, ikigwe sama ya milelo yenu yondaize.”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.”

34Milenge bwando hamwande, Haloni kaika ija imana mgati ya Idisanduku da Lagano, kamba MNDEWA viyamulagize Musa, giladi sambiibanangike.And Aaron placed it in front of the Testimony, to be preserved just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

35Waislaeli waja mana mkipigiti cha milao malongo mane, mbaka viwavikile muisi ya Kanaani, ako kuwalondigwe kukala.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.

36Pishi malongo mabili galinga na efa imwe.(Now an omer is a tenth of an ephah.)
