Exodus 16
1 And they set forward from Elim, and all the multitude of the children of Israel came into the desert of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai: the fifteenth day of the second month, after they came out of the land of Egypt.
Så brød de op fra Elim, og hele Israeliternes Menighed kom til Sins Ørken, der ligger mellem Elim og Sinaj, på den femtende Dag i den anden Måned efter deres Udvandring af Ægypten.
2 And all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and 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 to God we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat over the flesh pots, and ate bread to the full. Why have you brought us into this desert, that you might destroy all the multitude with famine?
og Israeliterne sagde til dem: "Var vi dog blot døde for HERRENs Hånd 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 from heaven for you: let the people go forth, and gather what is sufficient for every 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 gå ud og hver Dag samle så meget, som de daglig behøver, for at jeg kan prøve dem, om de vil følge min Lov eller ej.
5 But the sixth day let them provide for to bring in: and let it be double to that they were wont to gather every day.
Og når de på den sjette Ugedag tilbereder, hvad de har bragt hjem, så skal det være dobbelt så meget, som de samler de andre Dage."
6 And Moses and Aaron said to the children of Israel: In the evening you shall know that the Lord hath brought you forth 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 you shall see the glory of the Lord: for he hath heard your murmuring against the Lord: but as for us, what are we, that you mutter 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: In the evening the Lord will give you flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full: for he hath heard your murmurings, with which you have murmured against him, for what are we? your murmuring is not against us, but against the Lord.
Og Moses tilføjede: "Det skal ske, når 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 Moses also said to Aaron: Say to the whole congregation of the children of Israel: Come before the Lord: for he hath heard your murmuring.
Derpå sagde Moses til Aron: "Sig til hele Israeliternes Menighed: Træd frem for HERRENs Åsyn, thi han har hørt eders Knurren!"
10 And when Aaron spoke to all the assembly of the children of Israel, they looked towards the wilderness: and behold 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: say to them: In the evening you shall eat flesh, and in the morning you shall have your fill of bread: and you shall know that I am the Lord your God.
"Jeg har hørt Israeliternes Knurren; sig til dem: Ved Aftenstid skal I få Kød at spise, og i Morgen tidlig skal I få Brød at mætte eder med, og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN eders Gud."
13 So it came to pass in the evening, that quails coming up, covered the camp: and in the morning, a dew lay round about the camp.
Da det nu blev Aften, kom en Sværm Vagtler flyvende og faldt i et tykt Lag over Lejren; og næste Morgen lå Duggen tæt rundt om Lejren,
14 And when it had covered the face of the earth, it appeared in the wilderness small, and as it were beaten with a pestle, like unto the hoar frost on the ground.
og da Duggen svandt, var Ørkenen dækket med noget fint, skælagtigt noget, noget fint der lignede Rim på Jorden.
15 And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another: Manhu! which signifieth: What is this! for they knew not what it was. And Moses said to them: This is the bread, which the Lord hath given you to eat.
Da Israeliterne så 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 word, that the Lord hath commanded: Let every one gather of it as much as is enough to eat: a gomor for every man, according to the number of your souls that dwell in a tent, so shall you take of it.
Og således har HERREN påbudt: I skal samle deraf, enhver så 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 they gathered, one more, another less.
Israeliterne gjorde nu således, og de samlede, nogle mere og andre mindre;
18 And they measured by the measure of a gomor: neither had he more that had gathered more: nor did he find less that had provided less: but every one had gathered, according to what they were able to eat.
og da de målte 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 thereof till the morning.
Derpå sagde Moses til dem: "Ingen må gemme noget deraf til næste Morgen!"
20 And they hearkened not to him, but some of them left until the morning, and it began to be full of worms, an it putrified, and Moses was angry 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 på dem.
21 Now every one of them gathered in the morning, as much as might suffice to eat: and after the sun grew hot, it melted.
Således samlede de nu hver Morgen, enhver så meget som han havde behov. Men når Solen begyndte at brænde, smeltede det.
22 But on the sixth day they gathered twice as much, that is, two gomors every man: and all the rulers of the multitude came, and told Moses.
På den sjette Ugedag havde de samlet dobbelt så 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 the Lord hath spoken: Tomorrow is the rest of the sabbath sanctified to the Lord. Whatsoever work is to be done, do it: and the meats that are to be dressed, dress them: and whatsoever shall remain, lay it up until 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 did so as Moses had commanded, and it did not putrify, neither was there worm found 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 today, because it is the sabbath of the Lord: today it shall not be found in the field.
Derpå sagde Moses: "Det skal I spise i Dag, thi i Dag er det Sabbat for HERREN; i Dag finder I intet ude på Marken.
26 Gather it six days: but on the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord, therefore it shall not be found.
I seks bage skal I samle det, men på den syvende Dag, på Sabbaten, er der intet at finde."
27 And the seventh day came: and some of the people going forth to gather, found none.
Alligevel var der nogle blandt Folket, der gik ud på den syvende Dag for at samle; men de fandt intet.
28 And the Lord said to Moses: How long will you refuse to keep my commandments, and my law?
Da sagde HERREN til Moses: "Hvor længe vil I vægre eder ved at holde mine Bud og Love?
29 See that the Lord hath given you the sabbath, and for this reason on the sixth day he giveth you a double provision: let each man stay at home, and let none go forth out of his place the seventh day.
Betænk dog, at HERREN har givet eder Sabbaten! Derfor giver han eder på den sjette Dag Brød til to Dage. Enhver af eder skal blive, hvor han er, og ingen må forlade sin Bolig på den syvende Dag!"
30 And the people kept the sabbath on the seventh day.
Da hvilede Folket på den syvende Dag.
31 And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it was like coriander seed white, and the taste thereof like to flour with honey.
Men Israeliterne kaldte det Manna; det lignede hvide Korianderfrø og smagte som Honningkager.
32 And Moses said: This is the word, which the Lord hath commanded: Fill a gomor of it, and let it be kept unto generations to come hereafter, that they may know the bread, wherewith I fed you in the wilderness, when you were brought forth out of the land of Egypt.
Moses sagde fremdeles: "Således har HERREN påbudt: 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 vessel, and put manna into it, as much as a gomor can hold: and lay it up before the Lord to keep unto your generations,
Og Moses sagde til Aron: "Tag en Krukke, kom en Omer Manna deri og stil den foran HERRENs Åsyn for at gemmes til eders Efterkommere!"
34 As the Lord commanded Moses. And Aaron put it in the tabernacle to be kept.
Og Aron gjorde, som HERREN havde pålagt Moses, og han stillede den foran Vidnesbyrdet for at gemmes.
35 And the children of Israel ate manna forty years, till they came to a habitable land: with this meat were they fed, until they reached the borders of the land of Chanaan.
Og Israeliterne spiste Manna i fyrretyve År, indtil de kom til beboede Egne; de spiste Manna, indtil de kom til Grænsen af Kana'ans Land.
36 Now a gomor is the tenth part of an ephi.
En Omer er Tiendedelen af en Efa.
