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.

मानिसहरूले एलीमबाट यात्रा थाले र मिश्र देशबाट प्रस्थान गरेको दोस्रो महिनाको पन्ध्रौँ दिनमा इस्राएलीहरूका सारा समुदाय एलीम र सीनै पर्वतको बिचमा पर्ने सीनको उजाड-स्थानमा आइपुगे ।

2 And the whole assembly of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness.

उजाड-स्थानमा इस्राएलीहरूका सारा समुदायले मोशा र हारूनको विरुद्धमा गनगन गरे ।

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!

इस्राएलीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “हामी मासुको भाँडानेर बसेर अघाउञ्‍जेल रोटी खाइरहँदा मिश्र देशमा नै परमप्रभुको हातद्वारा मरेको भए हुनेथियो । किनकि तपाईंहरूले हाम्रो पुरै समुदायलाई भोकले मार्न हामीलाई उजाड-स्थानमा ल्याउनुभएको छ ।”

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.

तब परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्‍नुभयो, “म तिमीहरूका निम्ति स्वर्गबाट रोटी बर्साउनेछु । तिनीहरू मेरो विधि मान्छन् वा मान्दैनन् भनी जाँच गर्न हरेक दिन एक दिनको भाग जम्मा गर्न मानिसहरू बाहिर जानेछन् ।

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.

छैटौँ दिनमा तिनीहरूले पहिले हरेक दिनमा बटुल्ने भन्दा दुई गुणा बटुल्नेछन्, र तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई भित्र ल्याएर पकाउनेछन् ।”

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;

तब मोशा र हारूनले इस्राएलका सबै मानिसलाई भने, “मिश्र देशबाट तिमीहरूलाई निकालेर ल्याउनुहुने परमप्रभु नै हुनुहुन्छ भनी साँझमा तिमीहरूले थाहा पाउनेछौ ।

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?

बिहान तिमीहरूले परमप्रभुको महिमा देख्‍नेछौ किनकि तिमीहरूले उहाँको विरुद्धमा गरेको गनगन उहाँले सुन्‍नुभएको छ । हाम्रो विरुद्धमा गनगन गर्ने तिमीहरूका लागि हामी को हौँ र?

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.

मोशाले यसो पनि भने, “तिमीहरूले उहाँको विरुद्धमा गरेको गनगन उहाँले सुन्‍नुभएकोले उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई साँझमा मासु र बिहान रोटी अघाउञ्‍जेल दिनुहुँदा तिमीहरूले यो जान्‍नेछौ । हारून र म को हौँ र? तिमीहरूको गनगन हाम्रा विरुद्धमा नभई परमप्रभुको विरुद्धमा हो ।”

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.

मोशाले हारूनलाई भने, “इस्राएलका सारा समुदायलाई भन्‍नुहोस्, 'परमप्रभुको नजिक आओ किनकि उहाँले तिमीहरूको गनगन सुन्‍नुभएको छ' ।”

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.

हारून इस्राएलको सारा समुदायसित बोल्दा तिनीहरूले उजाड-स्थानतिर हेरे र परमप्रभुको महिमा बादलमा देखियो ।

11 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

तब परमप्रभुले मोशालाई यसो भन्‍नुभयो,

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.

“मैले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूको गनगन सुनेको छु । तिनीहरूलाई भन्, 'साँझमा तिमीहरूले मासु खानेछौ, र बिहानचाहिँ तिमीहरूले अघाउञ्‍जेल रोटी खानेछौ । तब म नै तिमीहरूका परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर हुँ भनी तिमीहरूले जान्‍नेछौ' ।”

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.

साँझमा बट्टाई चराहरू आएर तिनीहरूको छाउनी नै ढाकिदिए । बिहान छाउनीको वरिपरि शीत परेको थियो ।

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.

शीत सुकेपछि जमिनमा देखा परेको तुसारोझैँ स-साना डल्लाहरू उजाड-स्थानको सतहमा थिए ।

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.

इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले यसलाई देखेपछि तिनीहरूले एक-अर्कालाई भने, “यो के हो?” यो के थियो भनी तिनीहरूलाई थाहा थिएन । मोशाले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “यो परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई खानलाई दिनुभएको रोटी हो ।

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.

परमप्रभुले दिनुभएको आज्ञा यस्तो छः तिमीहरू हरेकले आफूलाई चाहिने बटुल अर्थात् तिमीहरूका मानिसहरूको सङ्ख्याअनुसार हरेकलाई एक-एक ओमेर बटुल । तिमीहरूको पालमा बस्‍ने हरेक व्यक्तिलाई पर्याप्‍त हुने गरी बटुल' ।”

17 And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some much, some little.

इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले त्यसै गरे । कसैले धेरै बटुले भने कसैले थोरै ।

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.

तिनीहरूले ओमेरले नाप्दा धेरै बटुल्नेहरूको बढ्ता भएन र कम बटुल्नेहरूलाई पनि अपुग भएन । हरेक व्यक्तिले आफ्नो आवश्यकताअनुसार बटुल्यो ।

19 And Moses said to them, Let no man leave [any] of it until the morning.

तब मोशाले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “बिहानसम्म तिमीहरू कसैले पनि यसबाट नउबार ।”

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.

तर तिनीहरूले मोशाको कुरा मानेनन् । कसैले बिहानसम्म अलिकति उबारे, तर त्यसमा किरा लागेर त्यो गन्हायो । त्यसपछि मोशा तिनीहरूसित रिसाए ।

21 And they gathered it every morning, every man as much as he could eat; and when the sun became hot, it melted.

तिनीहरूले बिहानैपिच्छे बटुल्थे । हरेकले त्यस दिनलाई पुग्‍ने बटुल्थ्यो । घाम चर्केपछि त्यो पग्लन्थ्यो ।

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.

छैटौँ दिनमा तिनीहरूले दुई गुणा रोटी बटुले अर्थात् हरेकको लागि दुई ओमेर बटुले । समुदायका सारा धर्म-गुरुहरू आएर मोशालाई यो कुरा बताए ।

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.

तिनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “परमप्रभुले यसो भन्‍नुभएको छः भोलि विश्रामको दिन हो अर्थात् परमप्रभुको दृष्‍टिमा पवित्र शबाथ हो । तिमीहरू जे पकाउन चाहन्छौ, सो पकाओ र जे उमाल्न चाहन्छौ, सो उमाल । उब्रेको जति सबै बिहानसम्म आफ्नो लागि राख्‍नू' ।”

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.

त्यसैले तिनीहरूले मोशाले निर्देशन दिएजस्तै यसलाई बिहानसम्म राखे ।

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.

मोशाले भने, “त्यो खाना आज खाओ किनकि आजको दिन परमप्रभुको निम्ति अलग गरिएको शबाथ हो । आज तिमीहरूले यो खाना जमिनमा पाउनेछैनौ ।

26 Six days shall ye gather it; but on the seventh day is sabbath: on it there shall be none.

छ दिनसम्म तिमीहरूले यो बटुल्नेछौ, तर सातौँ दिनचाहिँ शबाथ हो ।

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.

सातौँ दिनमा त्यहाँ मन्‍न हुनेछैन ।” सातौँ दिनमा पनि केही मानिसहरू मन्‍न बटुल्न गए, तर तिनीहरूले केही पाएनन् ।

28 And Jehovah said to Moses, How long do ye refuse to keep my commandments and my laws?

तब परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्‍नुभयो, “कहिलेसम्म तिमीहरू मेरा आज्ञा र विधिहरू मान्‍नलाई इन्कार गर्छौ?

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.

परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई शबाथ दिनुभएको छ । त्यसैले छैटौँ दिनमा उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई दुई दिनको लागि रोटी दिँदै हुनुहुन्छ । हरेक आ-आफ्नै ठाउँमा बस्‍नू । सातौँ दिनमा कोही पनि आफ्नो ठाउँबाट बाहिर नजानू ।”

30 And the people rested on the seventh day.

त्यसैले मानिसहरूले सातौँ दिनमा विश्राम गरे ।

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.

इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले त्यस खानालाई “मन्‍न” भने । यो धनियाँको गेडाजस्तो सेतो थियो र यसको स्वाद महमा बनाइएको बाबरजस्तो थियो ।

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.

मोशाले भने, “परमप्रभुले दिनुभएको आज्ञा यही होः एक ओमेर मन्‍न तिमीहरूको पुस्तौँसम्मको लागि राख ताकि तिमीहरूका सन्तानहरूले मैले तिमीहरूलाई मिश्र देशबाट निकालेर ल्याएपछि उजाड-स्थानमा खुवाएको यो रोटी देख्‍न सकून्' ।”

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.

मोशाले हारूनलाई भने, “एउटा भाँडोभित्र एक ओमेर मन्‍न हाल्नुहोस् । पुस्तौँसम्म यसलाई परमप्रभुको सामु सुरक्षित राख्‍नुहोस् ।”

34 As Jehovah had commanded Moses, so Aaron deposited it before the Testimony, to be kept.

परमप्रभुले मोशालाई आज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ हारूनले यसलाई करारको सन्दुकको छेउमा राखे ।

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.

इस्राएलीहरू मानिसहरू बसोबास गरेको भूमिमा नआउञ्‍जेलसम्म तिनीहरूले चालिस वर्षसम्म मन्‍न खाइरहे । तिनीहरू कनान देशका सिमानाहरूमा नआउञ्‍जेलम्म यो खाइरहे ।

36 Now an omer is the tenth [part] of an ephah.

एक ओमेर आधा पाथी हुन्छ ।
