Exodus 16
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.
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.
2 And there in the desert they all grumbled against Moses and Aaron.
U pustinji sva izraelska zajednica počne mrmljati protiv Mojsija i Arona.
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!”
“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!”
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.
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.
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.”
A šestoga dana, kad spreme što su nakupili, bit će dvaput onoliko koliko su skupljali za svaki dan.”
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,
Onda Mojsije i Aron progovore svim Izraelcima: “Večeras ćete poznati da vas je Jahve izveo iz zemlje egipatske,
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?”
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?
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.”
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.”
9 Then Moses said to Aaron, “Tell the whole congregation of Israel, ‘Come before the LORD, for He has heard your grumbling.’”
Poslije toga rekne Mojsije Aronu: “Reci svoj izraelskoj zajednici: 'Skupite se pred Jahvu, jer je čuo vaše mrmljanje!'”
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.
I dok je Aron svoj izraelskoj zajednici govorio, oni se okrenu prema pustinji, i gle! u oblaku pojavi se Jahvina slava.
11 Then the LORD said to Moses,
Onda se Jahve oglasi Mojsiju i reče mu:
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.’”
“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.'”
13 That evening quail came and covered the camp, and in the morning there was a layer of dew around the camp.
I doista! Navečer se pojave prepelice i prekriju tabor. A ujutro obilna rosa sve orosila oko tabora.
14 When the layer of dew had evaporated, there were thin flakes on the desert floor, as fine as frost on the ground.
Kad se prevlaka rose digla, površinom pustinje ležao tanak sloj, nešto poput pahuljica, kao da se slana uhvatila po zemlji.
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.
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.
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.’”
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.'”
17 So the Israelites did this. Some gathered more, and some less.
Izraelci tako uradiše. Neki nakupe više, neki manje.
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.
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.
19 Then Moses said to them, “No one may keep any of it until morning.”
“Neka nitko ne ostavlja ništa za ujutro!” - rekne im Mojsije.
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.
Ali oni nisu poslušali Mojsija; neki ostave i za sutra. A to im se ucrva i usmrdje. Mojsije se na njih razljuti.
21 Every morning each one gathered as much as was needed, and when the sun grew hot, it melted away.
Tako su skupljali svako jutro koliko je kome trebalo za jelo. I kad bi sunce ogrijalo, mÓana bi se rastopila.
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.
Onda šestoga dana nakupiše dvostruku količinu hrane - po dva gomera na svakoga. Kad su starješine zajednice došle da izvijeste Mojsija,
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.’”
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.”
24 So they set it aside until morning as Moses had commanded, and it did not smell or contain any maggots.
Ostave to oni za sutra, kako je Mojsije naredio, i niti se usmrdjelo niti su se crvi pojavili.
25 “Eat it today,” Moses said, “because today is a Sabbath to the LORD. Today you will not find anything in the field.
“Jedite to danas”, reče im Mojsije, “jer je ovaj dan subota u čast Jahve; danas nećete naći mÓane na polju.
26 For six days you may gather, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, it will not be there.”
Šest je dana skupljajte, a sedmoga, u subotu, neće je biti.”
27 Yet on the seventh day some of the people went out to gather, but they did not find anything.
Bijaše nekih koji su i sedmoga dana išli da je nakupe, ali ništa ne nađoše.
28 Then the LORD said to Moses, “How long will you refuse to keep My commandments and instructions?
Zato Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Dokle ćete odbijati da se pokorite mojim zapovijedima i mojim zakonima?
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.”
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.”
30 So the people rested on the seventh day.
Tako se sedmoga dana narod odmarao.
31 Now the house of Israel called the bread manna. It was white like coriander seed and tasted like wafers made with honey.
Dom je Izraelov tu hranu prozvao mÓanom. Bijaše kao zrno korijandra; bijela, a imala je ukus medenog kolačića.
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.’”
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.”
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.”
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.”
34 And Aaron placed it in front of the Testimony, to be preserved just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
Kako je Jahve naredio Mojsiju, Aron je stavi pred Svjedočanstvo na čuvanje.
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.
Izraelci su se hranili manom četrdeset godina, sve dok nisu došli u naseljenu zemlju: jeli su manu do dolaska na granicu zemlje kanaanske.
36 (Now an omer is a tenth of an ephah.)
Gomer je deseti dio efe.
