Exodus 16
1 And they set out from Elim. And the entire multitude of the sons of Israel arrived at the desert of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month, after they departed from the land of Egypt.
Kemudian umat Israel meninggalkan Elim. Pada hari kelima belas bulan kedua, satu bulan sejak mereka keluar dari Mesir, tibalah mereka di padang belantara Sin yang terletak di antara Elim dan gunung Sinai.
2 And the entire congregation of the sons of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness.
Di padang belantara itu, umat Israel bersungut-sungut terhadap Musa dan Harun.
3 And the sons of Israel said to them: “If only we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat around bowls of meat and ate bread until filled. Why have you led us away, into this desert, so that you might kill the entire multitude with famine?”
Kata mereka, “Lebih baik kalau TUHAN membunuh kami ketika kami masih di Mesir, daripada kalian berdua membawa kami ke padang belantara ini dan membiarkan kami mati kelaparan! Setidaknya, di Mesir kami tidak pernah kekurangan roti dan daging!”
4 Then the Lord said to Moses: “Behold, I will rain down bread from heaven for you. Let the people go out and collect what is sufficient for each day, so that I may test them, as to whether or not they will walk in my law.
Maka TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, “Aku akan memberi kalian makanan dari surga seperti hujan turun dari langit. Setiap hari, umat itu harus keluar mengumpulkan makanan secukupnya untuk sehari. Aku hendak menguji apakah mereka mau menuruti perintah-Ku atau tidak.
5 But on the sixth day, let them prepare what they use for carrying, and let there be double what they were accustomed to collect on a single day.”
Pada hari yang keenam dalam tiap-tiap minggu, mereka akan memperoleh dua kali lebih banyak daripada biasanya.”
6 And Moses and Aaron said to the sons of Israel: “In the evening, you will know that the Lord has led you away from the land of Egypt.
Lalu Musa dan Harun berkata kepada seluruh umat Israel, “Nanti saat matahari terbenam, kamu semua akan tahu bahwa TUHANlah yang sudah membawa kita keluar dari Mesir.
7 And in the morning, you will see the glory of the Lord. For he has heard your murmuring against the Lord. But as for us, truly what are we, that you would whisper against us?”
Besok pagi, kamu akan melihat kemuliaan TUHAN, karena Dia sudah mendengar keluhanmu terhadap-Nya. Sesungguhnya, terhadap Dialah kamu bersungut-sungut, bukan terhadap kami, karena kami hanya utusan-Nya!
8 And Moses said: “In the evening, the Lord will give you flesh to eat, and in the morning, bread in fullness. For he has heard your murmurings that you have murmured against him. For what are we? Your murmuring is not against us, but against the Lord.”
TUHAN akan memberikan daging kepada setiap keluarga pada waktu sore, dan roti pada waktu pagi, sebab TUHAN sudah mendengar gerutuanmu terhadap-Nya. Siapakah kami ini?! Sebenarnya keluhanmu bukanlah terhadap kami, melainkan terhadap TUHAN.”
9 Moses also said to Aaron: “Say to the whole congregation of the sons of Israel, ‘Approach before the Lord. For he has heard your murmuring.’”
Kemudian Musa berkata kepada Harun, “Beritahukanlah kepada seluruh umat Israel: Datanglah kepada TUHAN, karena Dia sudah mendengar gerutuan kalian.”
10 And when Aaron spoke to the entire assembly of the sons of Israel, they looked out toward the wilderness. And behold, the glory of the Lord appeared in a cloud.
Sementara Harun berbicara kepada umat Israel, tiba-tiba dari arah padang belantara tampaklah kepada mereka kemuliaan TUHAN di dalam awan.
11 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
TUHAN berbicara kepada Musa,
12 “I have heard the murmuring of the sons of Israel. Say to them: ‘In the evening, you will eat flesh, and in the morning, you will be filled with bread. And you shall know that I am the Lord your God.’”
“Aku sudah mendengar keluhan umat Israel. Katakanlah kepada mereka, ‘Sewaktu matahari terbenam, kamu semua akan makan daging, dan pada waktu pagi kamu akan kenyang makan roti. Dengan demikian, kamu akan tahu bahwa Akulah TUHAN, Allahmu.’”
13 Therefore, it happened in the evening: quails, rising up, covered the camp. Likewise, in the morning, a dew lay all around the camp.
Sore itu juga, burung puyuh berdatangan begitu banyaknya hingga menutupi perkemahan mereka. Pada pagi harinya, turunlah embun di sekitar perkemahan.
14 And when it had covered the face of the earth, it appeared, in the wilderness, small and as if crushed with a pestle, similar to hoar-frost on the ground.
Ketika embun itu sudah menguap, tampaklah di permukaan tanah sesuatu yang tipis seperti sisik dan halus seperti tetesan embun beku pada musim dingin.
15 When the sons of Israel had seen it, they said one to another: “Manhu?” which means “What is this?” For they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them: “This is the bread that the Lord has given you to eat.
Melihat itu, umat Israel bertanya-tanya satu sama lain, “Apa ini?” Karena mereka tidak mengetahui benda itu. Lalu kata Musa, “Inilah makanan yang TUHAN berikan kepada kita.
16 This is the word that the Lord has instructed. Let each one collect as much of it as is sufficient to eat. One omer for each head. According to the number of your souls which live in a tent, so will you take of it.”
TUHAN memerintahkan agar kalian masing-masing mengumpulkan sebanyak yang dibutuhkan, yaitu dua liter untuk setiap anggota keluarga.”
17 And the sons of Israel did so. And they collected: some more, others less.
Maka umat Israel melakukannya. Ada yang mengumpulkan banyak, dan ada yang mengumpulkan sedikit.
18 And they measured by the measure of an omer. He who collected more, did not have too much; nor did he who prepared less, find too little. But each one gathered according to what they were able to eat.
Walaupun begitu, ketika mereka menakarnya, ternyata yang mengumpulkan banyak tidak kelebihan, dan yang mengumpulkan sedikit tidak kekurangan. Masing-masing mengumpulkan sejumlah yang mereka perlukan.
19 And Moses said to them, “Let no one leave any of it behind until morning.”
Musa berkata kepada mereka, “Jangan sisakan sedikit pun untuk besok.”
20 And they did not listen to him, but they left some of it behind until morning, and it began to swarm with worms, and it putrefied. And Moses became angry against them.
Namun, beberapa di antara mereka tidak taat kepada Musa. Mereka menyisakan sebagian makanan itu sampai pagi. Ternyata sisa makanan itu menjadi berulat dan berbau busuk. Musa pun memarahi mereka.
21 Then each one collected, in the morning, as much as would be sufficient to eat. And after the sun became hot, it melted.
Setiap pagi, orang Israel mengumpulkan makanan itu sebanyak yang mereka perlukan. Ketika matahari semakin panas, makanan itu mencair dan lenyap.
22 But on the sixth day, they collected a double portion, that is, two omers for each man. Then all the leaders among the multitude came, and they discoursed with Moses.
Pada hari yang keenam, mereka mengumpulkan makanan itu seperti biasa, tetapi ketika pulang, mereka melihat bahwa makanan itu sudah menjadi dua kali lipat. Ternyata setiap orang mendapat enam liter. Para pemimpin menjadi bingung lalu datang kepada Musa untuk memberitahukannya.
23 And he said to them: “This is what the Lord has spoken: Tomorrow, the rest day of the Sabbath, has been sanctified to the Lord. Whatever would be done, do it now. And whatever would be cooked, cook it now. Then anything that will have been left over, store it until morning.”
Jawab Musa, “Inilah perintah TUHAN: Besok adalah hari Sabat, hari yang dikhususkan bagi TUHAN sebagai hari untuk beristirahat. Masaklah sebanyak yang kamu inginkan, makanlah sebagian pada hari ini, dan simpanlah sebagian lainnya yang untuk dimakan besok.”
24 And they did just as Moses had instructed, and it did not putrefy, nor were there any worms found in it.
Maka mereka menyimpan sisa makanan itu sesuai perintah Musa. Keesokan harinya, makanan yang mereka simpan itu tidak basi dan tidak berulat.
25 And Moses said: “Eat it today, because it is the Sabbath of the Lord. Today it will not be found in the field.
Kata Musa kepada mereka, “Makanlah makanan itu, karena hari ini adalah hari Sabat bagi TUHAN, yaitu hari peristirahatan untuk menghormati TUHAN. Hari ini kamu tidak akan menemukan makanan itu di padang.
26 Gather for six days. But on the seventh day, it is the Sabbath of the Lord, for which reason it will not be found.”
Selama enam hari kamu mengumpulkan makanan itu, tetapi hari yang ketujuh adalah Sabat. Makanan tidak akan turun pada hari itu.”
27 And the seventh day arrived. And some of the people, going out to collect it, did not find it.
Pada hari Sabat, beberapa orang keluar untuk mengumpulkan makanan, tetapi mereka tidak menemukan apa-apa.
28 Then the Lord said to Moses: “How long will you be unwilling to keep my commandments and my law?
Lalu TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, “Sampai kapan mereka terus menolak untuk taat pada perintah-Ku dan ajaran-Ku?
29 See how the Lord has given you the Sabbath, and, because of this, on the sixth day he distributes to you a double portion. Let each one remain with his own, and let no one go forth from his place on the seventh day.”
Hendaklah mereka ingat bahwa Aku, TUHAN, sudah memberikan hari yang ketujuh bagi kalian untuk beristirahat. Oleh karena itu, pada hari yang keenam Aku memberikan makanan dua kali lipat supaya cukup untuk dua hari. Pada hari Sabat, hari yang ketujuh, diamlah di dalam kemahmu masing-masing dan jangan keluar.”
30 And the people kept the Sabbath on the seventh day.
Demikianlah sejak hari itu umat Israel tidak bekerja pada hari Sabat.
31 And the house of Israel called its name ‘Manna.’ It was like white coriander seed, and its taste was like wheat flour with honey.
Umat Israel menamai makanan itu manna. Bentuknya seperti biji ketumbar, kecil, warnanya putih, dan rasanya seperti kue madu.
32 Then Moses said: “This is the word that the Lord has instructed: Fill an omer of it, and let it be kept for future generations hereafter, so that they may know the bread, with which I nourished you in the wilderness, when you had been led away from the land of Egypt.”
Musa berkata, “Inilah perintah TUHAN, ‘Ambillah dua liter manna dan simpanlah itu, supaya setiap generasimu turun temurun dapat melihat makanan yang Aku berikan kepadamu di padang belantara, ketika Aku membawamu keluar dari Mesir.’”
33 And Moses said to Aaron, “Take one vessel, and put manna into it, as much as an omer is able to hold. And store it in the sight of the Lord, to keep for your generations,
Lagi kata Musa kepada Harun, “Ambillah sebuah kendi dan isilah dengan dua liter manna, lalu taruhlah kendi itu di hadapan TUHAN untuk disimpan turun temurun.”
34 just as the Lord instructed Moses.” And so, Aaron placed it in the tabernacle, in reserve.
Harun melakukan sesuai perintah TUHAN kepada Musa dan menyimpan kendi itu di depan peti perjanjian.
35 Now the sons of Israel ate manna for forty years, until they arrived in a habitable land. With this food they were nourished, even until they touched the borders of the land of Canaan.
Orang Israel makan manna selama empat puluh tahun sampai mereka tiba di Kanaan.
36 Now an omer is a tenth part of an ephah.
Pada zaman itu, takaran manna yang orang Yahudi gunakan disebut gomer. Satu gomer sama dengan sepersepuluh efa.
