Izlazak 16
1 Potom krenu iz Elima, i sva izraelska zajednica dođe u pustinju Sin, koja je između Elima i Sinaja, petnaestoga dana drugoga mjeseca nakon odlaska iz zemlje egipatske.
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.
2 U pustinji sva izraelska zajednica počne mrmljati protiv Mojsija i Arona.
And there in the desert they all grumbled against Moses and Aaron.
3 “Oh, da smo pomrli od ruke Jahvine u zemlji egipatskoj kad smo sjedili kod lonaca s mesom i jeli kruha do mile volje!” - rekoše im. “Izveli ste nas u ovu pustinju da sve ovo mnoštvo gladom pomorite!”
“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!”
4 Tada reče Jahve Mojsiju: “Učinit ću da vam daždi kruh s neba. Neka narod ide i skuplja svaki dan koliko mu za dan treba. Tako ću ih kušati i vidjeti hoće li se držati moga zakona ili neće.
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.
5 A šestoga dana, kad spreme što su nakupili, bit će dvaput onoliko koliko su skupljali za svaki dan.”
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.”
6 Onda Mojsije i Aron progovore svim Izraelcima: “Večeras ćete poznati da vas je Jahve izveo iz zemlje egipatske,
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,
7 a ujutro ćete vidjeti svojim očima Jahvinu slavu, jer vas je čuo Jahve kako ste protiv njega mrmljali. Što smo mi da protiv nas mrmljate?
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?”
8 Večeras će vam Jahve dati mesa da jedete”, nastavi Mojsije, “a ujutro kruha do mile volje, jer je Jahve čuo vaše mrmljanje protiv njega. Što smo mi? Vi ne mrmljate protiv nas nego protiv Jahve.”
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.”
9 Poslije toga rekne Mojsije Aronu: “Reci svoj izraelskoj zajednici: 'Skupite se pred Jahvu, jer je čuo vaše mrmljanje!'”
Then Moses said to Aaron, “Tell the whole congregation of Israel, ‘Come before the LORD, for He has heard your grumbling.’”
10 I dok je Aron svoj izraelskoj zajednici govorio, oni se okrenu prema pustinji, i gle! u oblaku pojavi se Jahvina slava.
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.
11 Onda se Jahve oglasi Mojsiju i reče mu:
Then the LORD said to Moses,
12 “Čuo sam mrmljanje Izraelaca. Ovako im reci: 'Večeras ćete jesti meso, a ujutro ćete se nasititi kruha. Tada ćete poznati da sam ja Jahve, Bog vaš.'”
“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.’”
13 I doista! Navečer se pojave prepelice i prekriju tabor. A ujutro obilna rosa sve orosila oko tabora.
That evening quail came and covered the camp, and in the morning there was a layer of dew around the camp.
14 Kad se prevlaka rose digla, površinom pustinje ležao tanak sloj, nešto poput pahuljica, kao da se slana uhvatila po zemlji.
When the layer of dew had evaporated, there were thin flakes on the desert floor, as fine as frost on the ground.
15 Kad su Izraelci to vidjeli, pitali su jedan drugoga: “Što je to?” Jer nisu znali što je. Onda im Mojsije reče: “To je kruh koji vam je Jahve pribavio za hranu.
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.
16 A ovo je zapovijed koju je Jahve izdao: 'Nakupite koliko kome treba za jelo - jedan gomer po osobi, svatko prema broju članova koji su mu u šatoru.'”
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.’”
17 Izraelci tako uradiše. Neki nakupe više, neki manje.
So the Israelites did this. Some gathered more, and some less.
18 Kad su izmjerili na gomer, pokaza se da nije ništa preteklo onome koji bijaše nakupio mnogo, a niti je nedostajalo onome koji bijaše nakupio manje: svatko je nakupio koliko mu je trebalo za jelo.
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.
19 “Neka nitko ne ostavlja ništa za ujutro!” - rekne im Mojsije.
Then Moses said to them, “No one may keep any of it until morning.”
20 Ali oni nisu poslušali Mojsija; neki ostave i za sutra. A to im se ucrva i usmrdje. Mojsije se na njih razljuti.
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.
21 Tako su skupljali svako jutro koliko je kome trebalo za jelo. I kad bi sunce ogrijalo, mÓana bi se rastopila.
Every morning each one gathered as much as was needed, and when the sun grew hot, it melted away.
22 Onda šestoga dana nakupiše dvostruku količinu hrane - po dva gomera na svakoga. Kad su starješine zajednice došle da izvijeste Mojsija,
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.
23 on im reče: “Ovo je zapovijed Jahvina: Sutra je dan potpunog odmora, subota Jahvi posvećena. Ispecite što želite peći; skuhajte što želite kuhati. Sve što vam preteče ostavite za sutra.”
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.’”
24 Ostave to oni za sutra, kako je Mojsije naredio, i niti se usmrdjelo niti su se crvi pojavili.
So they set it aside until morning as Moses had commanded, and it did not smell or contain any maggots.
25 “Jedite to danas”, reče im Mojsije, “jer je ovaj dan subota u čast Jahve; danas nećete naći mÓane na polju.
“Eat it today,” Moses said, “because today is a Sabbath to the LORD. Today you will not find anything in the field.
26 Šest je dana skupljajte, a sedmoga, u subotu, neće je biti.”
For six days you may gather, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, it will not be there.”
27 Bijaše nekih koji su i sedmoga dana išli da je nakupe, ali ništa ne nađoše.
Yet on the seventh day some of the people went out to gather, but they did not find anything.
28 Zato Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Dokle ćete odbijati da se pokorite mojim zapovijedima i mojim zakonima?
Then the LORD said to Moses, “How long will you refuse to keep My commandments and instructions?
29 Pogledajte! Zato što vam je Jahve dao subotu, daje vam hrane šestoga dana za dva dana. Neka svatko stoji gdje jest; neka nitko u sedmi dan ne izlazi iz svoga stana.”
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.”
30 Tako se sedmoga dana narod odmarao.
So the people rested on the seventh day.
31 Dom je Izraelov tu hranu prozvao mÓanom. Bijaše kao zrno korijandra; bijela, a imala je ukus medenog kolačića.
Now the house of Israel called the bread manna. It was white like coriander seed and tasted like wafers made with honey.
32 Onda rekne Mojsije: “Ovo je zapovijed koju je izdao Jahve: Napunite tim jedan gomer i čuvajte ga za svoje potomke da vide hranu kojom sam vas hranio u pustinji kad sam vas izbavio iz zemlje egipatske.”
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.’”
33 I naredi Mojsije Aronu: “Uzmi jednu posudu; stavi u nju cio gomer mane, a onda je položi pred Jahvu da se sačuva za vaše potomke.”
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.”
34 Kako je Jahve naredio Mojsiju, Aron je stavi pred Svjedočanstvo na čuvanje.
And Aaron placed it in front of the Testimony, to be preserved just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
35 Izraelci su se hranili manom četrdeset godina, sve dok nisu došli u naseljenu zemlju: jeli su manu do dolaska na granicu zemlje kanaanske.
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.
36 Gomer je deseti dio efe.
(Now an omer is a tenth of an ephah.)
