Kuva

16 Nyuma yaho bava muri Elimu, amaherezo Abisirayeli bose bagera mu butayu bwa Sini+ buri hagati ya Elimu na Sinayi. Hari ku itariki ya 15 y’ukwezi kwa kabiri uhereye igihe baviriye muri Egiputa.

2 Abisirayeli batangira kwitotombera Mose na Aroni mu butayu.+ 3 Bakomeza kubabwira bati: “Iyaba Yehova yaratwiciye mu gihugu cya Egiputa igihe twaryaga inyama+ n’ibindi biryo tugahaga, kuko mwadukuyeyo mukatuzana muri ubu butayu kugira ngo mwicishe aba bantu inzara.”+

4 Nuko Yehova abwira Mose ati: “Ngiye kuboherereza ibyokurya bivuye mu ijuru,+ abantu bajye basohoka buri wese afate ibyo akeneye buri munsi+ kugira ngo mbagerageze menye niba bazumvira amategeko yanjye cyangwa niba batazayumvira.+ 5 Ariko ku munsi wa gatandatu+ nibategura ibyo bafashe, bizabe bikubye kabiri ibyo bari basanzwe bafata buri munsi.”+

6 Nuko Mose na Aroni babwira Abisirayeli bose bati: “Nimugoroba muri bumenye rwose ko Yehova ari we wabakuye mu gihugu cya Egiputa.+ 7 Ejo mu gitondo muzabona ubwiza bwa Yehova kuko yumvise kwitotomba kwanyu mwitotombera Yehova. Ubundi se twe turi ba nde ku buryo mutwitotombera?” 8 Mose akomeza kubabwira ati: “Ibyo muri bubimenye Yehova nabaha inyama zo kurya nimugoroba n’ejo mu gitondo akabaha ibyokurya mugahaga kuko Yehova yumvise uko mumwitotombera. Twe nta cyo turi cyo. Si twe mwitotombera, ahubwo ni Yehova mwitotombera.”+

9 Mose abwira Aroni ati: “Bwira Abisirayeli bose uti: ‘nimuze imbere ya Yehova kuko yumvise uko mwitotomba.’”+ 10 Nuko Aroni akimara kuvugana n’Abisirayeli bose, barahindukira bareba mu butayu maze ubwiza bwa Yehova buboneka mu gicu.+

11 Yehova yongera kubwira Mose ati: 12 “Numvise uko Abisirayeli bitotomba.+ Babwire uti: ‘ku mugoroba muri burye inyama kandi ejo mu gitondo muzarya imigati muhage.+ Muzamenya rwose ko ndi Yehova Imana yanyu.’”+

13 Nuko nimugoroba haza inyoni zimeze nk’inkware* zikwira mu nkambi+ kandi mu gitondo ikime cyari cyatonze gikikije inkambi. 14 Amaherezo icyo kime gishiraho maze babona mu butayu utuntu duto tworohereye+ tumeze nk’urubura ruri hasi. 15 Abisirayeli babibonye barabazanya bati: “Ibi ni ibiki?” Kuko batari bazi ibyo ari byo. Nuko Mose arababwira ati: “Ni ibyokurya Yehova yabahaye.+ 16 Yehova yategetse ati: ‘buri wese ajye afata akurikije ibyo ashobora kurya. Muzajye mufata omeri*+ imwe kuri buri muntu mukurikije umubare w’abantu buri wese afite mu ihema rye.’” 17 Abisirayeli babigenza batyo. Barabifata, bamwe bafata byinshi abandi bafata bike. 18 Iyo babipimishaga omeri, uwafashe byinshi ntiyabisaguraga kandi uwabaga yafashe bike ntiyabiburaga.+ Babifataga bakurikije ibyo buri wese ashobora kurya.

19 Hanyuma Mose arababwira ati: “Ntihagire ubiraza ngo bigeze mu gitondo.”+ 20 Ariko ntibumvira Mose. Abantu bamwe barabiraza bigeza mu gitondo maze bizamo inyo kandi biranuka, bituma Mose abarakarira. 21 Nuko bakajya babifata buri gitondo, buri wese ahuje n’ibyo ashobora kurya. Iyo izuba ryavaga cyane byarashongaga.

22 Ku munsi wa gatandatu bafata ibikubye kabiri ibyo bari basanzwe bafata,+ ni ukuvuga omeri ebyiri ku muntu. Nuko abayobozi baraza babibwira Mose. 23 Arababwira ati: “Uku ni ko Yehova yavuze: Ejo ni ikiruhuko,* ni isabato yera ya Yehova.+ Icyo mwotsa mucyotse, icyo muteka mugiteke,+ ibisigaye byose mubyibikire bizageze mu gitondo.” 24 Nuko barabibika bigeza mu gitondo nk’uko Mose yari yabategetse kandi ntibyanuka cyangwa ngo bizemo inyo. 25 Hanyuma Mose aravuga ati: “Mubirye uyu munsi kuko uyu munsi ari isabato ya Yehova. Uyu munsi nta byo muri bubone ku butaka. 26 Muzajye mubifata mu minsi itandatu ariko ku munsi wa karindwi ni Isabato.+ Kuri uwo munsi ntibizajya biboneka.” 27 Icyakora hari bamwe bagiye kubifata ku munsi wa karindwi ariko ntibabibona.

28 Nuko Yehova abwira Mose ati: “Muzageza ryari mwanga kumvira amabwiriza n’amategeko yanjye?+ 29 Muzirikane ko Yehova yabahaye Isabato.+ Ni cyo gituma ku munsi wa gatandatu abaha ibyokurya by’iminsi ibiri. Buri wese ajye aguma iwe. Ntihakagire umuntu uva iwe ku munsi wa karindwi.” 30 Maze abantu batangira kujya bizihiza Isabato ku munsi wa karindwi.+

31 Nuko ibyo byokurya Abisirayeli babyita “manu.”* Yari imeze nk’utubuto duto tw’umweru, kandi yaryohaga nk’utugati turimo ubuki.+ 32 Mose aravuga ati: “Yehova yategetse ati: ‘mufate manu yuzuye omeri imwe muyibikire abazabakomokaho+ kugira ngo bazarebe ibyokurya nabagaburiye mu butayu igihe nabakuraga mu gihugu cya Egiputa.’” 33 Nuko Mose abwira Aroni ati: “Fata akabindi* ushyiremo manu yuzuye omeri maze ugashyire imbere ya Yehova kugira ngo ibikirwe abazabakomokaho.”+ 34 Aroni abigenza nk’uko Yehova yategetse Mose, ashyira iyo manu imbere y’isanduku y’igihamya*+ kugira ngo ibikwe. 35 Nuko Abisirayeli bamara imyaka 40 barya manu+ kugeza igihe bagereye mu gihugu gituwe.+ Bakomeje kurya manu kugeza igihe bagereye ku mupaka w’igihugu cy’i Kanani.+ 36 Omeri yanganaga n’ikintu cyajyamo litiro nk’ebyiri.*
