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 departed from Aelim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came to the wilderness of Sin, which is between Aelim and Sina; and on the fifteenth day, in the second month after their departure from the land of Egypt,
2 以色列全会众在旷野向摩西、亚伦发怨言，
all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron.
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 children of Israel said to them, Would we had died struck by the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh-pots, and ate bread to satiety! for you have brought us out into this wilderness, to kill all this congregation 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。
And the Lord said to Moses, Behold, I [will] rain bread upon you out of heaven: and the people shall go forth, and they shall gather their daily portion for the day, that I may try 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 whatever they have brought in, and it shall be double of what they shall have gathered for the day, 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 congregation of the children of Israel, At even you shall know that the Lord has brought you out of 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 you shall see the glory of the Lord, inasmuch as he hears your murmuring against God; and who are we, that you continue to 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 the Lord gives you in the evening flesh to eat, and bread in the morning to satiety, because the Lord has heard your murmuring, which you murmur against us: and what are we? for your murmuring is not against us, but against God.
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 children of Israel, Come near before God; for he has heard your murmuring.
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 when Aaron spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and they turned towards the wilderness, then the glory of the Lord appeared in a cloud.
11 耶和华晓谕摩西说：
And the Lord 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 murmuring of the children of Israel: speak to them, saying, Towards evening you shall eat flesh, and in the morning you shall be satisfied with bread; and you shall know that I am the Lord 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 was evening, and quails came up and covered the camp:
14 露水上升之后，不料，野地面上有如白霜的小圆物。
in the morning it came to pass as the dew ceased round about the camp, that, behold, on the face of the wilderness [was] a small thing like white coriander seed, as frost upon the earth.
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 children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, What is this? for they knew not what it was; and Moses said to them,
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 bread which the Lord has given you to eat. This is that which the Lord has appointed: gather of it each man for his family, a homer for each person, according to the number of your souls, gather each of you with his fellow-lodgers.
17 以色列人就这样行；有多收的，有少收的。
And the children of Israel did so, and gathered some much and 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 having measured the homer [full], he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that had gathered less had no lack; each gathered according to the need of those who belonged to him.
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。
But they did not listen to Moses, but some left of it till the morning; and it bred worms and stank: and Moses was irritated 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 every morning, each man what he needed, and when the sun waxed 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 on the sixth day, they gathered double what was needed, two homers for one [man]; and all the chiefs of the synagogue went in and reported it to 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 Moses said to them, Is not this the word which the Lord spoke? To-morrow [is] the sabbath, a holy rest to the Lord: bake that you will bake, and seethe that you will seethe, and all that is over leave to be laid by for the morrow.
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 left of it till the morning, as Moses commanded them; and it stank not, neither was there a 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 the Lord: [it] shall not be found in the plain.
26 六天可以收取，第七天乃是安息日，那一天必没有了。”
Six days you shall gather it, and on the seventh day is a sabbath, for there shall be none on that [day].
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 forth to gather, and 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 the Lord said to Moses, How long are you unwilling to listen to my commands and my law?
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, for the Lord has given you this day [as] the sabbath, therefore he has given you on the sixth day the bread of two days: you shall sit each of you in your houses; let no one go forth from his place on the seventh day.
30 于是百姓第七天安息了。
And the people kept sabbath 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 children of Israel called the name of it Man; and it was as white coriander seed, and the taste of it as a wafer 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 the Lord has commanded, Fill an homer with manna, to be laid up for your generations; that they may see the bread which you ate in the wilderness, when the Lord led you forth out of 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 golden pot, and cast into it one full homer of manna; and you shall lay it up before God, to be kept for 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 the Lord commanded Moses: and 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 children of Israel ate manna forty years, until they came to the land they ate the manna, until they came to the region of Phoenicia.
36 俄梅珥就是伊法十分之一。）
Now the homer was the tenth part of three measures.
