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。
The people journeyed on from Elim, and all the community of Israelites came to the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of 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，
The whole community of Israelites complained against Moses and 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！”
The Israelites said to them, “If only we had died by Yahweh's hand in the land of Egypt when we were sitting by the pots of meat and were eating bread to the full. For you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill our whole community 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 Yahweh said to Moses, “I will rain down bread from heaven for you. The people will go out and gather a day's portion every day so that I may test them to see whether or not they will walk in my law.
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。”
It will come about on the sixth day, that they will gather twice as much as what they gathered every day before, and they will cook what they bring in.”
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。
Then Moses and Aaron said to all the people of Israel, “In the evening you will know that it is Yahweh who 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？”
In the morning you will see Yahweh's glory, for he hears your complaining against him. Who are we for you to complain 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。”
Moses also said, “You will know this when Yahweh gives you meat in the evening and bread in the morning to the full—for he has heard the complaints that you speak against him. Who are Aaron and I? Your complaints are not against us; they are against Yahweh.”
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。’”
Moses said to Aaron, “Say to all the community of the people of Israel, 'Come near before Yahweh, for he has heard your complaints.'”
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。
It came about, as Aaron spoke to the whole community of the people of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, Yahweh's glory appeared in the cloud.
11 耶和华晓谕摩西说：
Then Yahweh 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 complaints of the people of Israel. Speak to them and say, 'In the evening you will eat meat, and in the morning you will be filled with bread. Then you will know that I am Yahweh 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。
It came about in the evening that quails came up and covered the camp. 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。
When the dew was gone, there on the surface of the wilderness were thin flakes like frost 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。
When the people of Israel saw it, they said one to another, “What is it?” They did not know what it was. Moses said to them, “It is the bread that Yahweh 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 command that Yahweh has given: 'You must gather, each one of you, the amount you need to eat, an omer for each person of the number of your people. This is how you will gather it: Gather enough to eat for every person who lives in your tent.'”
17 以色列人就这样行；有多收的，有少收的。
The people of Israel did so. Some gathered more, some gathered 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。
When they measured it with an omer measure, those who had gathered much had nothing left over, and those who had gathered little had no lack. Each person gathered enough to meet their need.
19 摩西对他们说：“所收的，不许什么人留到早晨。”
Then Moses said to them, “No one must leave any of it until 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。
However, they did not listen to Moses. Some of them left some of it until morning, but it bred worms and became foul. Then Moses became 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。
They gathered it morning by morning. Each person gathered enough to eat for that day. When the sun became 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；
It came about that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each person. All the leaders of the community came and told this 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。’”
He said to them, “This is what Yahweh has said: 'Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy Sabbath in Yahweh's honor. Bake what you want to bake, and boil what you want to boil. All that remains over, set it aside for yourselves until 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。
So they set it aside until morning, as Moses had instructed. It did not become foul, nor 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。
Moses said, “Eat that food today, for today is a day reserved as a Sabbath to honor Yahweh. Today you will not find it in the fields.
26 六天可以收取，第七天乃是安息日，那一天必没有了。”
You will gather it during six days, but the seventh day is the Sabbath. On the Sabbath there will be no manna.”
27 第七天，百姓中有人出去收，什么也找不着。
It came about on the seventh day that some of the people went out to gather manna, but 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？
Then Yahweh said to Moses, “How long will you 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, Yahweh has given you the Sabbath. So on the sixth day he is giving you bread for two days. Each of you must stay in his own place; no one must go out from 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。
The people of Israel called that food “manna.” It was white like coriander seed, and its taste was like wafers made 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。’”
Moses said, “This is what Yahweh has commanded: 'Let an omer of manna be kept throughout your people's generations so that your descendants might see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, after I brought you out 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。”
Moses said to Aaron, “Take a pot and put an omer of manna into it. Preserve it before Yahweh to be kept throughout the people's 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 Yahweh commanded Moses, Aaron stored it beside the covenant decrees in the ark.
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。（
The people of Israel ate manna forty years until they came to inhabited land. They ate it 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 a tenth of an ephah.
