Exodus 16
1 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,
Saa brød de op fra Elim, og hele Israeliternes Menighed kom til Sins Ørken, der ligger mellem Elim og Sinaj, paa den femtende Dag i den anden Maaned efter deres Udvandring af Ægypten.
2 all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron.
Men hele Israeliternes Menighed knurrede mod Moses og Aron i Ørkenen,
3 And the children of Israel said to them, Would we had died smitten by the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh-pots, and ate bread to satiety! for ye have brought us out into this wilderness, to slay all this congregation with hunger.
og Israeliterne sagde til dem: »Var vi dog blot døde for HERRENS Haand i Ægypten, hvor vi sad ved Kødgryderne og kunde spise os mætte i Brød! Thi I har ført os ud i denne Ørken for at lade hele denne Forsamling dø af Sult.«
4 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.
Da sagde HERREN til Moses: »Se, jeg vil lade Brød regne ned fra Himmelen til eder, og Folket skal gaa ud og hver Dag samle saa meget, som de daglig behøver, for at jeg kan prøve dem, om de vil følge min Lov eller ej.
5 And it shall come to pass on the sixth day that they shall prepare whatsoever they have brought in, and it shall be double of what they shall have gathered for the day, daily.
Og naar de paa den sjette Ugedag tilbereder, hvad de har bragt hjem, saa skal det være dobbelt saa meget, som de samler de andre Dage.«
6 And Moses and Aaron said to all the congregation of the children of Israel, At even ye shall know that the Lord has brought you out of the land of Egypt;
Og Moses og Aron sagde til alle Israeliterne: »I Aften skal I kende, at det er HERREN, som har ført eder ud af Ægypten,
7 and in the morning ye shall see the glory of the Lord, inasmuch as he hears your murmuring against God; and who are we, that ye continue to murmur against us?
og i Morgen skal I skue HERRENS Herlighed, thi han har hørt eders Knurren mod HERREN; thi hvad er vel vi, at I knurrer mod os!«
8 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 ye murmur against us: and what are we? for your murmuring is not against us, but against God.
Og Moses tilføjede: »Det skal ske, naar HERREN i Aften giver eder Kød at spise og i Morgen Brød at mætte eder med; thi HERREN har hørt, hvorledes I knurrer mod ham; thi hvad er vi? Thi det er ikke os, I knurrer imod, men HERREN.«
9 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.
Derpaa sagde Moses til Aron: »Sig til hele Israeliternes Menighed: Træd frem for HERRENS Aasyn, thi han har hørt eders Knurren!«
10 And when Aaron spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and they turned toward the wilderness, then the glory of the Lord appeared in a cloud.
Og da Aron sagde det til hele Israeliternes Menighed, vendte de sig mod Ørkenen, og se, HERRENS Herlighed viste sig i Skyen.
11 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Da talede HERREN til Moses og sagde:
12 I have heard the murmuring of the children of Israel: speak to them, saying, Towards evening ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be satisfied with bread; and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God.
»Jeg har hørt Israeliternes Knurren; sig til dem: Ved Aftenstid skal I faa Kød at spise, og i Morgen tidlig skal I faa Brød at mætte eder med, og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN eders Gud.«
13 And it was evening, and quails came up and covered the camp:
Da det nu blev Aften, kom en Sværm Vagtler flyvende og faldt i et tykt Lag over Lejren; og næste Morgen laa Duggen tæt rundt om Lejren,
14 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.
og da Duggen svandt, var Ørkenen dækket med noget fint, skælagtigt noget, noget fint der lignede Rim paa Jorden.
15 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,
Da Israeliterne saa det, spurgte de hverandre: »Hvad er det?« Thi de vidste ikke, hvad det var; men Moses sagde til dem: »Det er det Brød, HERREN har givet eder til Føde!
16 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.
Og saaledes har HERREN paabudt: I skal samle deraf, enhver saa meget som han har behov, en Omer for hvert Hoved; I skal tage deraf i Forhold til Antallet af eders Husfolk, enhver skal tage deraf til dem, der er i hans Telt!«
17 And the children of Israel did so, and gathered some much and some less.
Israeliterne gjorde nu saaledes, og de samlede, nogle mere og andre mindre;
18 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.
og da de maalte det med Omeren, havde den, der havde meget, ikke for meget, og den, der havde lidt, ikke for lidt, enhver havde samlet, hvad han behøvede til Føde.
19 And Moses said to them, Let no man leave of it till the morning.
Derpaa sagde Moses til dem: »Ingen maa gemme noget deraf til næste Morgen!«
20 But they did not hearken to Moses, but some left of it till the morning; and it bred worms and stank: and Moses was irritated with them.
Dog adlød de ikke Moses, og nogle af dem gemte noget deraf til næste Morgen; men da var det fuldt af Orme og lugtede. Da blev Moses vred paa dem.
21 And they gathered it every morning, each man what he needed, and when the sun waxed hot it melted.
Saaledes samlede de nu hver Morgen, enhver saa meget som han havde behov. Men naar Solen begyndte at brænde, smeltede det.
22 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.
Paa den sjette Ugedag havde de samlet dobbelt saa meget Brød, to Omer for hver Person. Og alle Menighedens Øverster kom og sagde det til Moses;
23 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 ye will bake, and seethe that ye will seethe, and all that is over leave to be laid by for the morrow.
men han sagde til dem: »Det er netop, som HERREN har sagt. I Morgen er det Hviledag, en hellig Sabbat for HERREN. Bag, hvad I vil bage, og kog, hvad I vil koge, men læg det tiloversblevne til Side for at gemme det til i Morgen!«
24 And they left of it till the morning, as Moses commanded them; and it stank not, neither was there a worm in it.
De lagde det da til Side til næste Dag, som Moses havde befalet, og det kom ikke til at lugte, og der gik ikke Orm deri.
25 And Moses said, Eat [that] to-day, for to-day is a sabbath to the Lord: [it] shall not be found in the plain.
Derpaa sagde Moses: »Det skal I spise i Dag, thi i Dag er det Sabbat for HERREN; i Dag finder I intet ude paa Marken.
26 Six days ye shall gather it, and on the seventh day is a sabbath, for there shall be none on that [day].
I seks Dage skal I samle det, men paa den syvende Dag, paa Sabbaten, er der intet at finde.«
27 And it came to pass on the seventh day [that] some of the people went forth to gather, and found none.
Alligevel var der nogle blandt Folket, der gik ud paa den syvende Dag for at samle; men de fandt intet.
28 And the Lord said to Moses, How long are ye unwilling to hearken to my commands and my law?
Da sagde HERREN til Moses: »Hvor længe vil I vægre eder ved at holde mine Bud og Love?
29 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: ye shall sit each of you in your houses; let no one go forth from his place on the seventh day.
Betænk dog, at HERREN har givet eder Sabbaten! Derfor giver han eder paa den sjette Dag Brød til to Dage. Enhver af eder skal blive, hvor han er, og ingen maa forlade sin Bolig paa den syvende Dag!«
30 And the people kept sabbath on the seventh day.
Da hvilede Folket paa den syvende Dag.
31 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.
Men Israeliterne kaldte det Manna; det lignede hvide Korianderfrø og smagte som Honningkager.
32 And Moses said, This [is] the thing which the Lord hath commanded, Fill an homer with manna, to be laid up for your generations; that they may see the bread which ye ate in the wilderness, when the Lord led you forth out of the land of Egypt.
Moses sagde fremdeles: »Saaledes har HERREN paabudt: En Omer fuld deraf skal gemmes til eders Efterkommere, for at de kan se det Brød, jeg gav eder at spise i Ørkenen, da jeg førte eder ud af Ægypten!«
33 And Moses said to Aaron, Take a golden pot, and cast into it one full homer of manna; and thou shalt lay it up before God, to be kept for your generations,
Og Moses sagde til Aron: »Tag en Krukke, kom en Omer Manna deri og stil den foran HERRENS Aasyn for at gemmes til eders Efterkommere!«
34 as the Lord commanded Moses: and Aaron laid it up before the testimony to be kept.
Og Aron gjorde, som HERREN havde paalagt Moses, og han stillede den foran Vidnesbyrdet for at gemmes.
35 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.
Og Israeliterne spiste Manna i fyrretyve Aar, indtil de kom til beboede Egne; de spiste Manna, indtil de kom til Grænsen af Kana'ans Land.
36 Now the homer was the tenth part of three measures.
En Omer er Tiendedelen af en Efa.
