出埃及记 16
1 以色列全会众从以琳起行，在出埃及后第二个月十五日到了以琳和西奈中间、汛的旷野。
And they took their journey from Elim. And all the congregation of the sons 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.
2 以色列全会众在旷野向摩西、亚伦发怨言，
And the whole congregation of the sons of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness.
3 说：“巴不得我们早死在埃及地、耶和华的手下；那时我们坐在肉锅旁边，吃得饱足。你们将我们领出来，到这旷野，是要叫这全会众都饿死啊！”
And the sons of Israel said to them, Would that we had died by the hand of Jehovah in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh-pots, when we ate bread to the full, for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.
4 耶和华对摩西说：“我要将粮食从天降给你们。百姓可以出去，每天收每天的分，我好试验他们遵不遵我的法度。
Then Jehovah said to Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you, and the people shall go out and gather a day's portion every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or not.
5 到第六天，他们要把所收进来的预备好了，比每天所收的多一倍。”
And it 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.
6 摩西、亚伦对以色列众人说：“到了晚上，你们要知道是耶和华将你们从埃及地领出来的。
And Moses and Aaron said to all the sons of Israel, At evening, then ye shall know that Jehovah has brought you out from the land of Egypt,
7 早晨，你们要看见耶和华的荣耀，因为耶和华听见你们向他所发的怨言了。我们算什么，你们竟向我们发怨言呢？”
and in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of Jehovah, for he hears your murmurings against Jehovah. And what are we, that ye murmur against us?
8 摩西又说：“耶和华晚上必给你们肉吃，早晨必给你们食物得饱；因为你们向耶和华发的怨言，他都听见了。我们算什么，你们的怨言不是向我们发的，乃是向耶和华发的。”
And Moses said, This shall be when Jehovah shall give you flesh to eat in the evening, and bread to the full in the morning, for that Jehovah hears your murmurings which ye murmur against him. And what are we? Your murmurings are not against us, but against Jehovah.
9 摩西对亚伦说：“你告诉以色列全会众说：‘你们就近耶和华面前，因为他已经听见你们的怨言了。’”
And Moses said to Aaron, Say to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, Come near before Jehovah, for he has heard your murmurings.
10 亚伦正对以色列全会众说话的时候，他们向旷野观看，不料，耶和华的荣光在云中显现。
And it came to pass, as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the sons of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of Jehovah appeared in the cloud.
11 耶和华晓谕摩西说：
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
12 “我已经听见以色列人的怨言。你告诉他们说：‘到黄昏的时候，你们要吃肉，早晨必有食物得饱，你们就知道我是耶和华—你们的 神。’”
I have heard the murmurings of the sons of Israel. Speak to them, saying, At evening ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread. And ye shall know that I am Jehovah your God.
13 到了晚上，有鹌鹑飞来，遮满了营；早晨在营四围的地上有露水。
And it came to pass at evening, that the quails came up, and covered the camp. And in the morning the dew lay round about the camp,
14 露水上升之后，不料，野地面上有如白霜的小圆物。
and when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness a small round thing, small as the hoarfrost on the ground.
15 以色列人看见，不知道是什么，就彼此对问说：“这是什么呢？”摩西对他们说：“这就是耶和华给你们吃的食物。
And when the sons of Israel saw it, they said one to another, What is it? For they knew not what it was. And Moses said to them, It is the bread which Jehovah has given you to eat.
16 耶和华所吩咐的是这样：你们要按着各人的饭量，为帐棚里的人，按着人数收起来，各拿一俄梅珥。”
This is the thing which Jehovah has commanded, Gather ye of it every man according to his eating, an omer a head. According to the number of your persons, ye shall take it, every man for those who are in his tent.
17 以色列人就这样行；有多收的，有少收的。
And the sons of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less.
18 及至用俄梅珥量一量，多收的也没有余，少收的也没有缺；各人按着自己的饭量收取。
And when 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.
19 摩西对他们说：“所收的，不许什么人留到早晨。”
And Moses said to them, Let no man leave of it till the morning.
20 然而他们不听摩西的话，内中有留到早晨的，就生虫变臭了；摩西便向他们发怒。
Notwithstanding they did not hearken 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.
21 他们每日早晨，按着各人的饭量收取，日头一发热，就消化了。
And they gathered it morning by morning, every man according to his eating. And when the sun grew hot, it melted.
22 到第六天，他们收了双倍的食物，每人两俄梅珥。会众的官长来告诉摩西；
And it came to pass, 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.
23 摩西对他们说：“耶和华这样说：‘明天是圣安息日，是向耶和华守的圣安息日。你们要烤的就烤了，要煮的就煮了，所剩下的都留到早晨。’”
And he said to them, This is that which Jehovah has spoken, Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy sabbath to Jehovah. Bake that which ye will bake, and boil that which ye will boil, and all that remains over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.
24 他们就照摩西的吩咐留到早晨，也不臭，里头也没有虫子。
And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade, and it did not become foul, neither was there any worm in it.
25 摩西说：“你们今天吃这个吧！因为今天是向耶和华守的安息日；你们在田野必找不着了。
And Moses said, Eat that today, for today is a sabbath to Jehovah. Today ye shall not find it in the field.
26 六天可以收取，第七天乃是安息日，那一天必没有了。”
Six days ye shall gather it, but on the seventh day is the sabbath, there shall be none in it.
27 第七天，百姓中有人出去收，什么也找不着。
And it came to pass on the seventh day, that some of the people went out to gather, and they found none.
28 耶和华对摩西说：“你们不肯守我的诫命和律法，要到几时呢？
And Jehovah said to Moses, How long do ye refuse to keep my commandments and my laws?
29 你们看！耶和华既将安息日赐给你们，所以第六天他赐给你们两天的食物，第七天各人要住在自己的地方，不许什么人出去。”
See, because Jehovah has given you the sabbath, therefore he gives you on the sixth day the bread of two days. Abide ye every man in his place. Let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.
30 于是百姓第七天安息了。
So the people rested on the seventh day.
31 这食物，以色列家叫吗哪；样子像芫荽子，颜色是白的，滋味如同搀蜜的薄饼。
And the house of Israel called the name of it Manna. And it was like coriander seed, white, and the taste of it was like wafers with honey.
32 摩西说：“耶和华所吩咐的是这样：‘要将一满俄梅珥吗哪留到世世代代，使后人可以看见我当日将你们领出埃及地，在旷野所给你们吃的食物。’”
And Moses said, This is the thing which Jehovah has commanded. Let an omerful 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.
33 摩西对亚伦说：“你拿一个罐子，盛一满俄梅珥吗哪，存在耶和华面前，要留到世世代代。”
And Moses said to Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omerful of manna in it, and lay it up before Jehovah, to be kept throughout your generations.
34 耶和华怎么吩咐摩西，亚伦就怎么行，把吗哪放在法柜前存留。
As Jehovah commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
35 以色列人吃吗哪共四十年，直到进了有人居住之地，就是迦南的境界。（
And the sons of Israel ate the manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited. They ate the manna until they came to the borders of the land of Canaan.
36 俄梅珥就是伊法十分之一。）
Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
