< اَلْخُرُوجُ 16 >
ثُمَّ ٱرْتَحَلُوا مِنْ إِيلِيمَ. وَأَتَى كُلُّ جَمَاعَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى بَرِّيَّةِ سِينٍ، ٱلَّتِي بَيْنَ إِيلِيمَ وَسِينَاءَ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْخَامِسَ عَشَرَ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلثَّانِي بَعْدَ خُرُوجِهِمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. | ١ 1 |
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.
فَتَذَمَّرَ كُلُّ جَمَاعَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. | ٢ 2 |
And there in the desert they all grumbled against Moses and Aaron.
وَقَالَ لَهُمَا بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ: «لَيْتَنَا مُتْنَا بِيَدِ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، إِذْ كُنَّا جَالِسِينَ عِنْدَ قُدُورِ ٱللَّحْمِ نَأْكُلُ خُبْزًا لِلشَّبَعِ. فَإِنَّكُمَا أَخْرَجْتُمَانَا إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْقَفْرِ لِكَيْ تُمِيتَا كُلَّ هَذَا ٱلْجُمْهُورِ بِٱلْجُوعِ». | ٣ 3 |
“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!”
فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «هَا أَنَا أُمْطِرُ لَكُمْ خُبْزًا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ. فَيَخْرُجُ ٱلشَّعْبُ وَيَلْتَقِطُونَ حَاجَةَ ٱلْيَوْمِ بِيَوْمِهَا. لِكَيْ أَمْتَحِنَهُمْ، أَيَسْلُكُونَ فِي نَامُوسِي أَمْ لَا. | ٤ 4 |
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.
وَيَكُونُ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّادِسِ أَنَّهُمْ يُهَيِّئُونَ مَا يَجِيئُونَ بِهِ فَيَكُونُ ضِعْفَ مَا يَلْتَقِطُونَهُ يَوْمًا فَيَوْمًا». | ٥ 5 |
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.”
فَقَالَ مُوسَى وَهَارُونُ لِجَمِيعِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: «فِي ٱلْمَسَاءِ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ أَخْرَجَكُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. | ٦ 6 |
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,
وَفِي ٱلصَّبَاحِ تَرَوْنَ مَجْدَ ٱلرَّبِّ لِٱسْتِمَاعِهِ تَذَمُّرَكُمْ عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ. وَأَمَّا نَحْنُ فَمَاذَا حَتَّى تَتَذَمَّرُوا عَلَيْنَا؟». | ٧ 7 |
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?”
وَقَالَ مُوسَى: «ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يُعْطِيكُمْ فِي ٱلْمَسَاءِ لَحْمًا لِتَأْكُلُوا، وَفِي ٱلصَّبَاحِ خُبْزًا لِتَشْبَعُوا، لِٱسْتِمَاعِ ٱلرَّبِّ تَذَمُّرَكُمُ ٱلَّذِي تَتَذَمَّرُونَ عَلَيْهِ. وَأَمَّا نَحْنُ فَمَاذَا؟ لَيْسَ عَلَيْنَا تَذَمُّرُكُمْ بَلْ عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ». | ٨ 8 |
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.”
وَقَالَ مُوسَى لِهَارُونَ: «قُلْ لِكُلِّ جَمَاعَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: ٱقْتَرِبُوا إِلَى أَمَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ سَمِعَ تَذَمُّرَكُمْ». | ٩ 9 |
Then Moses said to Aaron, “Tell the whole congregation of Israel, ‘Come before the LORD, for He has heard your grumbling.’”
فَحَدَثَ إِذْ كَانَ هَارُونُ يُكَلِّمُ كُلَّ جَمَاعَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنَّهُمُ ٱلْتَفَتُوا نَحْوَ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، وَإِذَا مَجْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَدْ ظَهَرَ فِي ٱلسَّحَابِ. | ١٠ 10 |
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.
فَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا: | ١١ 11 |
Then the LORD said to Moses,
«سَمِعْتُ تَذَمُّرَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. كَلِّمْهُمْ قَائِلًا: فِي ٱلْعَشِيَّةِ تَأْكُلُونَ لَحْمًا، وَفِي ٱلصَّبَاحِ تَشْبَعُونَ خُبْزًا، وَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ». | ١٢ 12 |
“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.’”
فَكَانَ فِي ٱلْمَسَاءِ أَنَّ ٱلسَّلْوَى صَعِدَتْ وَغَطَّتِ ٱلْمَحَلَّةَ. وَفِي ٱلصَّبَاحِ كَانَ سَقِيطُ ٱلنَّدَى حَوَالَيِ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ. | ١٣ 13 |
That evening quail came and covered the camp, and in the morning there was a layer of dew around the camp.
وَلَمَّا ٱرْتَفَعَ سَقِيطُ ٱلنَّدَى إِذَا عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ شَيْءٌ دَقِيقٌ مِثْلُ قُشُورٍ. دَقِيقٌ كَٱلْجَلِيدِ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ١٤ 14 |
When the layer of dew had evaporated, there were thin flakes on the desert floor, as fine as frost on the ground.
فَلَمَّا رَأَى بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ قَالُوا بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: «مَنْ هُوَ؟» لِأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوا مَا هُوَ. فَقَالَ لَهُمْ مُوسَى: «هُوَ ٱلْخُبْزُ ٱلَّذِي أَعْطَاكُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ لِتَأْكُلُوا. | ١٥ 15 |
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.
هَذَا هُوَ ٱلشَّيْءُ ٱلَّذِي أَمَرَ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ. اِلْتَقِطُوا مِنْهُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ عَلَى حَسَبِ أُكْلِهِ. عُمِرًا لِلرَّأْسِ عَلَى عَدَدِ نُفُوسِكُمْ تَأْخُذُونَ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ لِلَّذِينَ فِي خَيْمَتِهِ». | ١٦ 16 |
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.’”
فَفَعَلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ هَكَذَا، وَٱلْتَقَطُوا بَيْنَ مُكَثِّرٍ وَمُقَلِّلٍ. | ١٧ 17 |
So the Israelites did this. Some gathered more, and some less.
وَلَمَّا كَالُوا بِٱلْعُمِرِ، لَمْ يُفْضِلِ ٱلْمُكَثِّرُ وَٱلْمُقَلِّلُ لَمْ يُنْقِصْ. كَانُوا قَدِ ٱلْتَقَطُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ عَلَى حَسَبِ أُكْلِهِ. | ١٨ 18 |
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.
وَقَالَ لَهُمْ مُوسَى: «لَا يُبْقِ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُ إِلَى ٱلصَّبَاحِ». | ١٩ 19 |
Then Moses said to them, “No one may keep any of it until morning.”
لَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا لِمُوسَى، بَلْ أَبْقَى مِنْهُ أُنَاسٌ إِلَى ٱلصَّبَاحِ، فَتَوَلَّدَ فِيهِ دُودٌ وَأَنْتَنَ. فَسَخَطَ عَلَيْهِمْ مُوسَى. | ٢٠ 20 |
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.
وَكَانُوا يَلْتَقِطُونَهُ صَبَاحًا فَصَبَاحًا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ عَلَى حَسَبِ أُكْلِهِ. وَإِذَا حَمِيَتِ ٱلشَّمْسُ كَانَ يَذُوبُ. | ٢١ 21 |
Every morning each one gathered as much as was needed, and when the sun grew hot, it melted away.
ثُمَّ كَانَ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّادِسِ أَنَّهُمُ ٱلْتَقَطُوا خُبْزًا مُضَاعَفًا، عُمِرَيْنِ لِلْوَاحِدِ. فَجَاءَ كُلُّ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ وَأَخْبَرُوا مُوسَى. | ٢٢ 22 |
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.
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «هَذَا مَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: غَدًا عُطْلَةٌ، سَبْتٌ مُقَدَّسٌ لِلرَّبِّ. ٱخْبِزُوا مَا تَخْبِزُونَ وَٱطْبُخُوا مَا تَطْبُخُونَ. وَكُلُّ مَا فَضِلَ ضَعُوهُ عِنْدَكُمْ لِيُحْفَظَ إِلَى ٱلْغَدِ». | ٢٣ 23 |
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.’”
فَوَضَعُوهُ إِلَى ٱلْغَدِ كَمَا أَمَرَ مُوسَى، فَلَمْ يُنْتِنْ وَلَا صَارَ فِيهِ دُودٌ. | ٢٤ 24 |
So they set it aside until morning as Moses had commanded, and it did not smell or contain any maggots.
فَقَالَ مُوسَى: «كُلُوهُ ٱلْيَوْمَ، لِأَنَّ لِلرَّبِّ ٱلْيَوْمَ سَبْتًا. ٱلْيَوْمَ لَا تَجِدُونَهُ فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
“Eat it today,” Moses said, “because today is a Sabbath to the LORD. Today you will not find anything in the field.
سِتَّةَ أَيَّامٍ تَلْتَقِطُونَهُ، وَأَمَّا ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلسَّابِعُ فَفِيهِ سَبْتٌ، لَا يُوجَدُ فِيهِ». | ٢٦ 26 |
For six days you may gather, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, it will not be there.”
وَحَدَثَ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ أَنَّ بَعْضَ ٱلشَّعْبِ خَرَجُوا لِيَلْتَقِطُوا فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا. | ٢٧ 27 |
Yet on the seventh day some of the people went out to gather, but they did not find anything.
فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «إِلَى مَتَى تَأْبَوْنَ أَنْ تَحْفَظُوا وَصَايَايَ وَشَرَائِعِي؟ | ٢٨ 28 |
Then the LORD said to Moses, “How long will you refuse to keep My commandments and instructions?
اُنْظُرُوا! إِنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ أَعْطَاكُمُ ٱلسَّبْتَ. لِذَلِكَ هُوَ يُعْطِيكُمْ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّادِسِ خُبْزَ يَوْمَيْنِ. ٱجْلِسُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ فِي مَكَانِهِ. لَا يَخْرُجْ أَحَدٌ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ». | ٢٩ 29 |
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.”
فَٱسْتَرَاحَ ٱلشَّعْبُ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ. | ٣٠ 30 |
So the people rested on the seventh day.
وَدَعَا بَيْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱسْمَهُ «مَنًّا». وَهُوَ كَبِزْرِ ٱلْكُزْبَرَةِ، أَبْيَضُ، وَطَعْمُهُ كَرِقَاقٍ بِعَسَلٍ. | ٣١ 31 |
Now the house of Israel called the bread manna. It was white like coriander seed and tasted like wafers made with honey.
وَقَالَ مُوسَى: «هَذَا هُوَ ٱلشَّيْءُ ٱلَّذِي أَمَرَ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ. مِلْءُ ٱلْعُمِرِ مِنْهُ يَكُونُ لِلْحِفْظِ فِي أَجْيَالِكُمْ. لِكَيْ يَرَوْا ٱلْخُبْزَ ٱلَّذِي أَطْعَمْتُكُمْ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ حِينَ أَخْرَجْتُكُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ». | ٣٢ 32 |
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.’”
وَقَالَ مُوسَى لِهَارُونَ: «خُذْ قِسْطًا وَاحِدًا وَٱجْعَلْ فِيهِ مِلْءَ ٱلْعُمِرِ مَنًّا، وَضَعْهُ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ لِلْحِفْظِ فِي أَجْيَالِكُمْ». | ٣٣ 33 |
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.”
كَمَا أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى وَضَعَهُ هَارُونُ أَمَامَ ٱلشَّهَادَةِ لِلْحِفْظِ. | ٣٤ 34 |
And Aaron placed it in front of the Testimony, to be preserved just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
وَأَكَلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلْمَنَّ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً حَتَّى جَاءُوا إِلَى أَرْضٍ عَامِرَةٍ. أَكَلُوا ٱلْمَنَّ حَتَّى جَاءُوا إِلَى طَرَفِ أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ. | ٣٥ 35 |
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.
وَأَمَّا ٱلْعُمِرُ فَهُوَ عُشْرُ ٱلْإِيفَةِ. | ٣٦ 36 |
(Now an omer is a tenth of an ephah.)
