16 ¶ Apre sa, tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo pati kite Elim, yo rive nan dezè yo rele Sin lan, ant Elim ak mòn Sinayi. Lè yo rive la, yo te gen yon mwa kenz jou depi yo te pati kite Lejip.

Yo tout pran bougonnen sou do Moyiz ak Arawon nan dezè a.

Yo t'ap di yo: -Poukisa Seyè a pa t' tou touye nou nan peyi Lejip la? Lè sa a, nou te konn chita devan bòl vyann nou, nou te konn manje pen plen vant nou. Men, ou menm ak Arawon, nou mennen nou nan dezè sa a pou fè tout kantite moun sa yo mouri grangou.

Seyè a di Moyiz konsa: -Mwen pral fè pen tonbe soti nan syèl la pou nou tankou grenn lapli. Pèp la va soti chak jou pou l' ranmase mezi li bezwen pou jounen an. Konsa, m'a gade pou m' wè si wi ou non yo vle mache sou lòd mwen vre.

Chak sizyèm jou nan senmenn lan, y'a ranmase de fwa lavalè sa yo konn ranmase lòt jou yo, y'a pare mete la.

Moyiz ak Arawon di tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo: -Aswè a n'a konnen se Seyè a ki te fè nou pati kite peyi Lejip.

Denmen maten, n'a wè ki kalite pouvwa Seyè a genyen. Li tande jan n'ap bougonnen sou do li. Paske mwen menm ak Arawon, kisa nou ye pou se sou nou n'ap bougonnen konsa? Se sou Bondye n'ap bougonnen.

Apre sa, Moyiz di yo: -Se Seyè a k'ap ban nou vyann pou nou manje chak swa. Se li k'ap ban nou kantite pen nou bezwen chak maten, paske Seyè a tande tout bougonnen n'ap bougonnen sou li a. Nou menm, kisa nou ye? Se pa sou nou n'ap bougonnen, men se sou Seyè a n'ap bougonnen.

Lè sa a Moyiz di Arawon: -Men sa pou ou di tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo: Pwoche vin devan Seyè a paske li tande jan n'ap plenyen an.

10 Pandan Arawon t'ap pale ak tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo, yo vire tèt yo bò dezè a, yo wè pouvwa Bondye a parèt nan nwaj la.

11 Seyè a di Moyiz:

12 -Mwen tande jan moun pèp Izrayèl yo ap plenyen. Men sa pou ou di yo: Aswè a, anvan li fin fè nwa, n'a gen vyann pou nou manje. Denmen maten, n'a gen pen kantite nou bezwen. Lè sa a, n'a konnen se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki Bondye nou.

13 ¶ Nan aswè, zòtolan vini, yo kouvri tout kote yo te moute tant yo a. Nan maten, te gen yon kouch lawouze toutalantou kote pèp la te moute tant yo a.

14 Lè lawouze a disparèt, li kite yon kwout tou blan atè nan dezè a. Kwout la te fen, li te plen ti grenn tankou sèl, li te kouvri tout atè a.

15 Lè moun pèp Izrayèl yo wè sa, yo pa t' konn sa l' te ye. Yonn t'ap di lòt: -Sa sa ye sa? Moyiz di yo: -Sa a, se pen Seyè a ban nou pou nou manje.

16 Men lòd Seyè a ban nou: Se pou chak moun ranmase mezi yo bezwen pou kantite moun ki lakay yo. N'a ranmase twa ti mamit edmi pou chak moun.

17 Moun pèp Izrayèl yo fè sa Moyiz te di yo fè a. Gen moun ki te ranmase plis, gen lòt ki te ranmase pi piti.

18 Men, lè yo mezire, sa ki te ranmase plis yo pa t' gen twòp, sa ki te ranmase pi piti yo pa t' manke anyen. Konsa, chak moun te ranmase mezi yo te bezwen pou yo manje.

19 Moyiz di yo: -Piga pesonn sere anyen pou denmen.

20 Men gen moun ki pa t' koute Moyiz. Yo sere ti gout pou denmen maten. Nan denmen yo jwenn li plen vè, li te gate. Moyiz te fache sou moun sa yo.

21 Chak maten yo ranmase mezi yo te bezwen pou yo manje. Men, kou solèy la konmanse cho, bagay la te fonn.

22 ¶ Sizyèm jou nan senmenn lan, yo te ranmase de fwa lavalè sa yo te konn ranmase chak jou a. Yo te ranmase sèt ti mamit pou chak moun. Tout chèf fanmi ki te alatèt pèp la vin di Moyiz sa.

23 Moyiz reponn yo: -Men lòd Seyè a te bay: Denmen se jou repo, se jou repo ki apa pou Seyè a. Kwit sa nou gen pou nou kwit. Bouyi sa nou gen pou nou bouyi. N'a sere rès la pou denmen.

24 Jan Moyiz te ba yo lòd la, yo sere rès la pou denmen. Li pa t' gate, vè pa t' tonbe ladan l'.

25 Moyiz di yo: -Nou mèt manje rès la jòdi a, paske jòdi a se jou repo yo mete apa pou Seyè a. Jòdi a nou p'ap jwenn anyen deyò a.

26 Pandan sis premye jou senmenn lan n'a jwenn pou n' ranmase. Men setyèm jou a, jou repo a, nou p'ap jwenn anyen pou nou ranmase.

27 Setyèm jou a, gen kek moun nan pèp la ki te soti al ranmase manje, men yo pa jwenn anyen.

28 Lè sa a, Seyè a di Moyiz: -Kilè n'a sispann dezobeyi lòd ak kòmandman mwen yo?

29 Konprann sa byen, se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki te ban nou jou repo sa a. Se poutèt sa, sou sizyèm jou nan senmenn lan, mwen ban nou manje valè pou de jou. Nan setyèm jou senmenn lan, se pou tout moun rete kote yo ye a. Piga pesonn mete tèt deyò.

30 Se konsa, lè setyèm jou a rive, pèp la pa fè ankenn travay.

31 Pèp Izrayèl la rele manje a laman. Li te gen fòm grenn pitimi. Li te tou blan, li te gen menm gou ak gato ki fèt ak siwo myèl.

32 ¶ Moyiz di yo: -Men lòd Seyè a ban nou. Se pou nou sere twa ti mamit edmi plen laman pou pitit pitit nou yo. Konsa y'a wè ki kalite manje mwen te konn ban nou nan dezè a, lè mwen te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip la.

33 Apre sa Moyiz di Arawon: -Pran yon ti ja, mete twa ti mamit edmi laman ladan l'. Mete l' devan Seyè a pou l' ka rete pou pitit pitit nou yo.

34 Arawon fè sa Seyè a te bay Moyiz lòd fè a. Li mete ti ja a devan Bwat Kontra a, li sere l' la.

35 Moun pèp Izrayèl yo pase karantan ap manje laman, jouk jou yo rive nan yon peyi kote yo jwenn moun rete. Kifè yo manje laman jouk yo rive sou fwontyè peyi Kanaran.

36 Twa ti mamit edmi, se valè twaka yon gwo mamit. Trannsenk ti mamit fè yon gwo bidon.

Manna and Quail

16 The whole Israelite community set out from Elim and came to the Desert of Sin,(A) which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after they had come out of Egypt.(B) In the desert the whole community grumbled(C) against Moses and Aaron. The Israelites said to them, “If only we had died by the Lord’s hand in Egypt!(D) There we sat around pots of meat and ate all the food(E) we wanted, but you have brought us out into this desert to starve this entire assembly to death.”(F)

Then the Lord said to Moses, “I will rain down bread from heaven(G) for you. The people are to go out each day and gather enough for that day. In this way I will test(H) them and see whether they will follow my instructions. On the sixth day they are to prepare what they bring in, and that is to be twice(I) as much as they gather on the other days.”

So Moses and Aaron said to all the Israelites, “In the evening you will know that it was the Lord who brought you out of Egypt,(J) and in the morning you will see the glory(K) of the Lord, because he has heard your grumbling(L) against him. Who are we, that you should grumble against us?”(M) Moses also said, “You will know that it was the Lord when he gives you meat to eat in the evening and all the bread you want in the morning, because he has heard your grumbling(N) against him. Who are we? You are not grumbling against us, but against the Lord.”(O)

Then Moses told Aaron, “Say to the entire Israelite community, ‘Come before the Lord, for he has heard your grumbling.’”

10 While Aaron was speaking to the whole Israelite community, they looked toward the desert, and there was the glory(P) of the Lord appearing in the cloud.(Q)

11 The Lord said to Moses, 12 “I have heard the grumbling(R) 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.’”(S)

13 That evening quail(T) came and covered the camp, and in the morning there was a layer of dew(U) around the camp. 14 When the dew was gone, thin flakes like frost(V) on the ground appeared on the desert floor. 15 When the Israelites saw it, they said to each other, “What is it?” For they did not know(W) what it was.

Moses said to them, “It is the bread(X) the Lord has given you to eat. 16 This is what the Lord has commanded: ‘Everyone is to gather as much as they need. Take an omer[a](Y) for each person you have in your tent.’”

17 The Israelites did as they were told; some gathered much, some little. 18 And when they measured it by the omer, the one who gathered much did not have too much, and the one who gathered little did not have too little.(Z) Everyone had gathered just as much as they needed.

19 Then Moses said to them, “No one is to keep any of it until morning.”(AA)

20 However, some of them paid no attention to Moses; they kept part of it until morning, but it was full of maggots and began to smell.(AB) So Moses was angry(AC) with them.

21 Each morning everyone gathered as much as they needed, and when the sun grew hot, it melted away. 22 On the sixth day, they gathered twice(AD) as much—two omers[b] for each person—and the leaders of the community(AE) came and reported this to Moses. 23 He said to them, “This is what the Lord commanded: ‘Tomorrow is to be a day of sabbath rest, a holy sabbath(AF) to the Lord. So bake what you want to bake and boil what you want to boil. Save whatever is left and keep it until morning.’”

24 So they saved it until morning, as Moses commanded, and it did not stink or get maggots in it. 25 “Eat it today,” Moses said, “because today is a sabbath to the Lord. You will not find any of it on the ground today. 26 Six days you are to gather it, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath,(AG) there will not be any.”

27 Nevertheless, some of the people went out on the seventh day to gather it, but they found none. 28 Then the Lord said to Moses, “How long will you[c] refuse to keep my commands(AH) and my instructions? 29 Bear in mind that the Lord has given you the Sabbath; that is why on the sixth day he gives you bread for two days. Everyone is to stay where they are on the seventh day; no one is to go out.” 30 So the people rested on the seventh day.

31 The people of Israel called the bread manna.[d](AI) It was white like coriander seed and tasted like wafers made with honey. 32 Moses said, “This is what the Lord has commanded: ‘Take an omer of manna and keep it for the generations to come, so they can see the bread I gave you to eat in the wilderness when I brought you out of Egypt.’”

33 So Moses said to Aaron, “Take a jar and put an omer of manna(AJ) in it. Then place it before the Lord to be kept for the generations to come.”

34 As the Lord commanded Moses, Aaron put the manna with the tablets of the covenant law,(AK) so that it might be preserved. 35 The Israelites ate manna(AL) forty years,(AM) until they came to a land that was settled; they ate manna until they reached the border of Canaan.(AN)

36 (An omer(AO) is one-tenth of an ephah.)(AP)
