¹Ary tamin'ny andro fahadimy ambin'ny folo tamin'ny volana faharoa taorian'ny nialany tany amin'ny tany Egypta dia nifindra niala tao Elima ny fiangonana, dia ny Zanak'Isiraely rehetra, ka nankany amin'ny efitra Sina, izay eo anelanelan'i Elima sy Sinay.

¹They took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came to the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt.

²Dia nimonomonona tamin'i Mosesy sy Arona tany an-efitra ny fiangonana, dia ny Zanak'Isiraely rehetra,

²The whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness;

³ka nanao taminy hoe: Inay anie izahay mba matin'ny tànan'i Jehovah tany amin'ny tany Egypta, raha nipetraka teo anilan'ny fahandroan-kena ka nihinan-kanina ho voky; fa nitondra anay nivoaka ho atỳ an-efitra ianareo hahafaty mosary izao fiangonana rehetra izao.

³and the children of Israel said to them, “We wish that we had died by the hand of Yahweh in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the meat pots, when we ate our fill of bread, for you have brought us out into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.”

⁴Ary hoy Jehovah tamin'i Mosesy: Indro, Izaho handatsaka mofo avy any an-danitra ho anareo; dia hivoaka ny olona ka hanangona izay sahaza hohaniny isan'andro, hizahako toetra azy, na handeha manaraka ny lalako izy, na tsia.

⁴Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Behold, I will rain bread from the sky for you, and the people shall go out and gather a day’s portion every day, that I may test them, whether they will walk in my law, or not.

⁵Ary raha mby amin'ny andro fahenina dia hamboariny izay azony; ary hisy indroa toraka izay angoniny isan'andro.

⁵It shall come to pass on the sixth day, that they shall prepare that which they bring in, and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.”

⁶Ary hoy Mosesy sy Arona tamin'ny Zanak'Isiraely rehetra: Anio hariva dia ho fantatrareo fa Jehovah no nitondra anareo nivoaka avy tany amin'ny tany Egypta;

⁶Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, “At evening, then you shall know that Yahweh has brought you out from the land of Egypt;

⁷ary rahampitso maraina dia ho hitanareo ny voninahitr'i Jehovah, fa efa reny ny fimonomononanareo tamin'i Jehovah; fa izahay moa no inona, no imonomononanareo?

⁷and in the morning, then you shall see the glory of Yahweh; because he hears your murmurings against Yahweh. Who are we, that you murmur against us?”

⁸Ary hoy koa Mosesy; Ho hitanareo izany, raha homen'i Jehovah hena hohanina ianareo anio hariva, ary mofo hahavoky rahampitso maraina; fa efa ren'i Jehovah ny fimonomononanareo, izay nimonomononanareo taminy; fa izahay moa no inona? Tsy izahay no imonomononanareo, fa Jehovah.

⁸Moses said, “Now Yahweh shall give you meat to eat in the evening, and in the morning bread to satisfy you; because Yahweh hears your murmurings which you murmur against him. And who are we? Your murmurings are not against us, but against Yahweh.”

⁹Ary hoy Mosesy tamin'i Arona: Lazao amin'ny fiangonana, dia ny Zanak'Isiraely rehetra, hoe: Manatòna eo anatrehan'i Jehovah; fa efa reny ny fimonomononanareo.

⁹Moses said to Aaron, “Tell all the congregation of the children of Israel, ‘Come near before Yahweh, for he has heard your murmurings.’”

¹⁰Ary raha Arona mbola niteny tamin'ny fiangonana, dia ny Zanak'Isiraely rehetra, dia nijery nanatrika ny efitra izy ireo, ka, indro, ny voninahitr'i Jehovah niseho teo amin'ny rahona.

¹⁰It happened, as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and behold, the glory of Yahweh appeared in the cloud.

¹¹Ary Jehovah niteny tamin'i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:

¹¹Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

¹²Efa reko ny fimonomononan'ny Zanak'Isiraely, koa mitenena aminy hoe: Anio hariva dia hihinan-kena ianareo, ary rahampitso maraina kosa dia ho voky mofo ianareo, ka dia ho fantatrareo fa Izaho no Jehovah Andriamanitrareo.

¹²“I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel. Speak to them, saying, ‘At evening you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread: and you shall know that I am Yahweh your God.’”

¹³Ary nony hariva dia niakatra ny papelika, ka rakotra azy ny toby; ary nony maraina dia nisy ando manodidina ny toby;

¹³It happened at evening that quail came up and covered the camp; and in the morning the dew lay around the camp.

¹⁴ary nony niala ny ando, dia, indro, nisy zava-madinika boribory teny amin'ny efitra, madinika toy ny fanala amin'ny tany.

¹⁴When the dew that lay had gone, behold, on the surface of the wilderness was a small round thing, small as the frost on the ground.

¹⁵Ary rehefa hitan'ny Zanak'Isiraely izany, dia nifanontany hoe izy: Inona itony? satria tsy fantany ireny. Dia hoy Mosesy taminy: Itony no mofo izay nomen'i Jehovah ho fihinanareo.

¹⁵When the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, “What is it?” For they didn’t know what it was. Moses said to them, “It is the bread which Yahweh has given you to eat.”

¹⁶Izao no teny izay nandidian'i Jehovah: Samia manangona azy ianareo araka izay tokony ho laninareo avy, dia eran'ny vata omera avy ho amin'ny isan-olona, araka ny isanareo; samia mitondra ianareo rehetra ho an'izay ao an-dainy avy.

¹⁶This is the thing which Yahweh has commanded: “Gather of it everyone according to his eating; an omer An omer is about 2.2 litres or about 2.3 quarts a head, according to the number of your persons, you shall take it, every man for those who are in his tent.”

¹⁷Dia nanao izany ny Zanak'Isiraely, ka samy nanangona: ny sasany nanangona be, ary ny sasany kosa kely.

¹⁷The children of Israel did so, and gathered some more, some less.

¹⁸Ary raha nafatrany tamin'ny vata omera izany, dia tsy nanana amby ny nanangona be, ary ny nanangona kely tsy nanana ny tsy ampy; samy nanangona araka izay fihinany avy izy.

¹⁸When they measured it with an omer, he who gathered much had nothing over, and he who gathered little had no lack. They gathered every man according to his eating.

¹⁹Ary hoy Mosesy taminy: Aza misy mamela sisa ho tra-maraina.

¹⁹Moses said to them, “Let no one leave of it until the morning.”

²⁰Kanefa tsy mba nanaraka ny tenin'i Mosesy izy, fa namela sisa ho tra-maraina ihany ny olona sasany, dia niteraka olitra izany ka maimbo; ary dia tezitra tamin'ny olona Mosesy.

²⁰Notwithstanding they didn’t listen to Moses, but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and became foul: and Moses was angry with them.

²¹Ary nanangona ny mana isa-maraina ny olona, dia samy araka izay fihinany avy; ary nony nafana ny andro, dia levona ireny.

²¹They gathered it morning by morning, everyone according to his eating. When the sun grew hot, it melted.

²²Ary nony tamin'ny andro fahenina dia nanangona avy sasaka noho ny isan'andro ny olona, dia indroan'ny vata omera ho an'ny isan-olona avy; dia avy ny lohan'ny fiangonana ka nanambara tamin'i Mosesy.

²²It happened that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one, and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.

²³Ary hoy Mosesy taminy: Izao no lazain'i Jehovah: Rahampitso dia tena andro fitsaharana masina ho an'i Jehovah; koa manendasa izay hendasinareo, ary mahandroa izay handrahoinareo, ary izay sisa rehetra dia avelao ho anareo, hotehirizina ho tra-maraina.

²³He said to them, “This is that which Yahweh has spoken, ‘Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy Sabbath to Yahweh. Bake that which you want to bake, and boil that which you want to boil; and all that remains over lay up for yourselves to be kept until the morning.’”

²⁴Dia namela izany ho tra-maraina izy, araka izay nandidian'i Mosesy; ary tsy mba maimbo na niteraka olitra izany.

²⁴They laid it up until the morning, as Moses asked, and it didn’t become foul, neither was there any worm in it.

²⁵Ary hoy Mosesy: Hano ireny anio, fa Sabata ho an'i Jehovah anio, ka anio no tsy hahitanareo azy any an-tsaha.

²⁵Moses said, “Eat that today, for today is a Sabbath to Yahweh. Today you shall not find it in the field.

²⁶Henemana no hanangonanareo azy; fa Sabata ny andro fahafito, ka dia tsy hisy amin'izany.

²⁶Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day is the Sabbath. In it there shall be none.”

²⁷Ary nony tamin'ny andro fahafito dia nisy olona nivoaka hanangona, fa tsy nahita na dia kely akory aza.

²⁷It happened on the seventh day, that some of the people went out to gather, and they found none.

²⁸Ary hoy Jehovah tamin'i Mosesy: Mandra-pahoviana no handavanareo tsy hitandrina ny didiko sy ny lalàko?

²⁸Yahweh said to Moses, “How long do you refuse to keep my commandments and my laws?

²⁹Saino fa Jehovah no nanome anareo ny Sabata, koa izany no anomezany anareo mofo ampy ho indroa andro amin'ny andro fahenina; samia mitoetra eo amin'ny fitoerany avy ianareo, ka aoka tsy hisy hiala amin'ny fitoerany amin'ny andro fahafito.

²⁹Behold, because Yahweh has given you the Sabbath, therefore he gives you on the sixth day the bread of two days. Everyone stay in his place. Let no one go out of his place on the seventh day.”

³⁰Dia nitsahatra ny olona tamin'ny andro fahafito.

³⁰So the people rested on the seventh day.

³¹Ary ny anarany dia nataon'ny taranak'Isiraely hoe Mana; ary tahaka ny voan-drafy izy sady fotsy; ary ny fanandramana azy dia tahaka ny mofo misy tantely.

³¹The house of Israel called its name Manna, “Manna” means “What is it?” and it was like coriander seed, white; and its taste was like wafers with honey.

³²Ary hoy Mosesy: Izao no teny izay nandidian'i Jehovah: Analao eran'ny vata omera izy hotehirizina hatramin'ny taranakareo fara mandimby, mba ho hitany ny mofo izay nampihinaniko anareo tany an-efitra, raha nitondra anareo nivoaka avy tany amin'ny tany Egypta Aho.

³²Moses said, “This is the thing which Yahweh has commanded, ‘Let an omer-full of it be kept throughout your generations, that they may see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.’”

³³Ary hoy Mosesy tamin'i Arona: Makà vilany, ka asio mana eran'ny vata omera eo anatiny, dia apetraho eo anatrehan'i Jehovah mba hotehirizina hatramin'ny taranakareo fara mandimby.

³³Moses said to Aaron, “Take a pot, and put an omer-full of manna in it, and lay it up before Yahweh, to be kept throughout your generations.”

³⁴Ary araka izay nandidian'i Jehovah an'i Mosesy no nametrahan'i Arona izany teo anatrehan'ny Vavolombelona mba hotehirizina.

³⁴As Yahweh commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.

³⁵Ary ny Zanak'Isiraely nihinana mana mandritra ny efa-polo taona mandra-pahatongany tany amin'izay tany misy monina: eny, mana no nohaniny mandra-pahatongany tany amin'ny sisin'ny tany Kanana.Ary ny omera dia ampahalofon'ny vata efaha.

³⁵The children of Israel ate the manna forty years, until they came to an inhabited land. They ate the manna until they came to the borders of the land of Canaan.

³⁶Ary ny omera dia ampahalofon'ny vata efaha.

³⁶Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah. 1 ephah is about 22 litres or about 2/3 of a bushel
