Exodus 16
1 And they journeyed from Elim, and the whole assembly of the children of Israel came into the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departure out of 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 And the whole assembly of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness.
Men hele Israeliternes Menighed knurrede mod Moses og Aron i Ørkenen,
3 And the children of Israel said to them, Would that we had died by the hand of Jehovah in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh-pots, when we ate bread to the full; for ye have brought us out into this wilderness, to kill this whole 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 Then said Jehovah to Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather the daily need on its day, that I may prove 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 what they have brought in; and it shall be twice as much as they shall gather 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 children of Israel, In the evening, then shall ye know that Jehovah has brought you out from 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, then shall ye see the glory of Jehovah; for he has heard your murmurings against Jehovah; — and what are we, that ye 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, When Jehovah gives you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for Jehovah hears your murmurings which ye murmur against him...and what [are] we? your murmurings are not against us, but against Jehovah.
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 spoke to Aaron, Say to all the assembly of the children of Israel, Come near into the presence of Jehovah; for he has heard your murmurings.
Derpaa sagde Moses til Aron: »Sig til hele Israeliternes Menighed: Træd frem for HERRENS Aasyn, thi han har hørt eders Knurren!«
10 And it came to pass, when Aaron spoke to the whole assembly of the children of Israel, that they turned toward the wilderness, and behold, the glory of Jehovah appeared in the 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 Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Da talede HERREN til Moses og sagde:
12 I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak to them, saying, Between the two evenings ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah 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 came to pass in the evening, that quails came up, and covered the camp; and in the morning the dew lay round 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 And when the dew that lay [round it] was gone up, behold, on the face of the wilderness there was [something] fine, granular, fine as hoar-frost, on the ground.
og da Duggen svandt, var Ørkenen dækket med noget fint, skælagtigt noget, noget fint der lignede Rim paa Jorden.
15 And the children of Israel saw [it], and said one to another, What is it? for they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them, This is the bread which Jehovah has given you to eat.
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 thing which Jehovah has commanded: Gather of it every man according to what he can eat, an omer a poll, [according to] the number of your persons: ye shall take every man for those that are in his tent.
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, some little.
Israeliterne gjorde nu saaledes, og de samlede, nogle mere og andre mindre;
18 And they measured with the omer: then he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little wanted nothing: they had gathered every man according to the measure of his eating.
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 [any] of it until the morning.
Derpaa sagde Moses til dem: »Ingen maa gemme noget deraf til næste Morgen!«
20 But they did not hearken to Moses; and some men left of it until the morning; then worms bred in it and it stank. And Moses was wroth 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, every man as much as he could eat; and when the sun became 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, that they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one; and all the princes of the assembly came and told 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 he said to them, This is what Jehovah has said: To-morrow is the rest, the holy sabbath, of Jehovah: bake what ye will bake, and cook what ye will cook; and lay up for yourselves all that remains over, to be kept for the morning.
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 laid it up for the morning, as Moses had commanded; and it did not stink, neither was there any 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 it to-day; for to-day is sabbath to Jehovah: to-day ye shall not find it in the field.
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 shall ye gather it; but on the seventh day is sabbath: on it there shall be none.
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 there went out [some] from the people to gather [it], and they found none.
Alligevel var der nogle blandt Folket, der gik ud paa den syvende Dag for at samle; men de fandt intet.
28 And Jehovah said to Moses, How long do ye refuse to keep my commandments and my laws?
Da sagde HERREN til Moses: »Hvor længe vil I vægre eder ved at holde mine Bud og Love?
29 See, for Jehovah hath given you the sabbath; therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread for two days. Abide every man in his place: let no man go 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 rested on the seventh day.
Da hvilede Folket paa den syvende Dag.
31 And the house of Israel called its name Manna; and it was like coriander-seed, white; and the taste of it was like cake with honey.
Men Israeliterne kaldte det Manna; det lignede hvide Korianderfrø og smagte som Honningkager.
32 And Moses said, This is the thing which Jehovah has commanded: Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they may see the bread that I gave you to eat in the wilderness, when I brought you 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 pot, and put in it an omer full of manna, and deposit it before Jehovah, 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 Jehovah had commanded Moses, so Aaron deposited it 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 the manna forty years, until they came into an inhabited land: they ate the manna until they came to the borders of the land of Canaan.
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 an omer is the tenth [part] of an ephah.
En Omer er Tiendedelen af en Efa.
