Exodus 16
1 Afterward all the Congregation of the children of Israel departed from Elim, and came to the wildernes of Sin, (which is betweene Elim and Sinai) the fiftenth day of the second moneth after their departing out of ye land of Egypt.
以色列子民全會眾從厄林起程，來到厄林和西乃之間的欣曠野時，在離埃及後第二月第十五日。
2 And the whole Congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wildernesse.
以色列子民全會眾在曠野裏都抱怨梅瑟和亞郎。
3 For the children of Israel sayde to them, Oh that we had dyed by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when wee sate by the flesh pots, when wee ate bread our bellies full: for yee haue brought vs out into this wildernesse, to kill this whole company with famine.
以色列子民向他們說：「巴不得我們在埃及國坐在肉鍋旁，有食物吃飽的時候，死在上主的手中! 你們領我們到這曠野裏來，是想叫這全會眾餓死啊! 」
4 Then sayd the Lord vnto Moses, Behold, I wil cause bread to rayne from heauen to you, and the people shall goe out, and gather that that is sufficient for euery day, that I may proue them, whether they wil walke in my Law or no.
上主向梅瑟說：「看，我要從天上給你們降下食物，百姓要每天出去收斂當日所需要的，為試探他們是否遵行我的法律。
5 But the sixt daye they shall prepare that, which they shall bring home, and it shalbe twise as much as they gather dayly.
但到第六天，他們準備帶回來的食物要比每天多一倍。」
6 Then Moses and Aaron sayde vnto all the children of Israel, At euen ye shall know, that the Lord brought you out of the land of Egypt:
梅瑟和亞郎對全以色列子民說：「今晚你們要知道，是上主領你們出了埃及國；
7 And in the morning ye shall see the glorie of the Lord: for he hath heard your grudgings against the Lord: and what are we that ye haue murmured against vs?
明早你們要看見上主的榮耀，因為你們抱怨上主的話，他已聽見了。我們算什麼﹖你們竟抱怨我們! 」
8 Againe Moses sayd, At euen shall the Lord giue you flesh to eate, and in the morning your fil of bread: for the Lord hath heard your murmurings, which ye murmure against him: for what are we? your murmurings are not against vs, but against the Lord.
梅瑟又說：「晚上上主要給你們肉吃，早晨你們可以吃飽，因為上主聽見了你們抱怨他所說的怨言。我們算什麼﹖你們不是抱怨我們，而是抱怨上主。」瑪納
9 And Moses sayd to Aaron, Say vnto all the Congregation of the children of Israel, Draw neere before the Lord: for he hath heard your murmurings.
梅瑟向亞郎說：「你向以色列子民全會眾說：你們應走到上主前，因為他聽見了你們的怨言。」
10 Now as Aaron spake vnto the whole Congregation of the children of Israel, they looked toward the wildernesse, and beholde, the glory of the Lord appeared in a cloude.
亞郎正向以色列子民全會眾說話的時候，他們轉面朝向曠野，看見上主的榮耀顯現在雲彩中。
11 (For the Lord had spoken vnto Moses, saying,
那時上主向梅瑟說：「
12 I haue heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: tell them therefore, and say, At euen ye shall eate flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread, and ye shall knowe that I am the Lord your God)
我聽見了以色列子民的怨言。你給他們說：黃昏的時候你們要有肉吃，早晨要有食物吃飽，這樣你們就知道，我是上主，你們的天主。」
13 And so at euen the quailes came and couered the campe: and in the morning the dewe lay round about the hoste.
到了晚上，有鵪鶉飛來，遮蓋了營幕；到了早晨，營幕四周落了一層露水。
14 And when the dewe that was fallen was ascended, beholde, a small round thing was vpon the face of the wildernes, small as the hoare frost on the earth.
露水昇化之後，在曠野的地面上，留下稀薄的碎屑，稀薄得好像地上的霜。
15 And when the children of Israel sawe it, they sayde one to another, It is MAN, for they wist not what it was. And Moses sayd vnto them, This is the breade which the Lord hath giuen you to eate.
以色列子民一見，就彼此問說：「這是什麼﹖」原來他們不知道這是什麼。梅瑟告訴他們說：「這是上主賜給你們的食物。
16 This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded: gather of it euery man according to his eating an Omer for a man according to the number of your persons: euery man shall take for them which are in his tent.
上主曾這樣吩咐說：你們應按每人的食量去收斂，按照你們帳幕的人數去拾取，每人一「曷默耳。」
17 And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some lesse.
以色列子民就照樣作了；收斂的時候，有的多，有的少，
18 And when they did measure it with an Omer, hee that had gathered much, had nothing ouer, and he that had gathered litle, had no lacke: so euery man gathered according to his eating.
但他們用「曷默耳」衝量時，那多收的，也沒有剩餘；那少收的，也沒有缺少；各人正按他們的食量收斂了。
19 Moses then said vnto them, Let no man reserue thereof till morning.
梅瑟向他們說：「誰也不准將一些留到早晨。」
20 Notwithstanding they obeyed not Moses: but some of them reserued of it till morning, and it was full of wormes, and stanke: therefore Moses was angrie with them.
但他們沒有聽梅瑟的話；有一人把一些留到早晨，但都被虫子咬爛，發生臭味；梅瑟遂向他們發怒。
21 And they gathered it euery morning, euery man according to his eating: for when the heate of the sunne came, it was melted.
於是他們每天早晨按各人的食量去收斂；太陽一發熱，就融化了。
22 And the sixt day they gathered twise so much bread, two Omers for one man: then all the rulers of the Congregation came and told Moses.
於是第六天他們收斂了兩倍的食物，每人二「曷默耳；」會眾的首領來向梅瑟報告此事。
23 And he answered them, This is that, which the Lord hath sayde, To morowe is the rest of the holy Sabbath vnto the Lord: bake that to day which ye wil bake, and seethe that which ye wil seethe, and all that remaineth, lay it vp to be kept till the morning for you.
梅瑟向他們說：「上主曾這樣吩咐說：明天是安息日；是祝聖於上主的安息聖日；你們要烤的就烤罷! 要煮的，就煮罷! 凡吃了剩下的，應保留到次日。」
24 And they laied it vp till the morning, as Moses bade, and it stanke not, neyther was there any worme therein.
他們就照梅瑟所吩咐的，把吃下剩下的，留到次日也沒有發臭，，也沒有虫咬。
25 Then Moses sayde, Eate that to day: for to day is the Sabbath vnto the Lord: to day ye shall not finde it in the fielde.
梅瑟說道：「今天吃這些罷! 因為今天是敬上主的安息日，今天在野外什麼也找不到。
26 Sixe dayes shall yee gather it, but in the seuenth day is the Sabbath: in it there shalbe none.
六天你們可去收斂，但第七天是安息日，什麼也沒有。」
27 Notwithstanding, there went out some of the people in ye seuenth day for to gather, and they found none.
到了第七天，百姓中有人去收斂，但什麼也沒有找到。
28 And the Lord sayde vnto Moses, Howe long refuse yee to keepe my commandements, and my lawes?
上主向梅瑟說：「你們不守我的命令和我的法律要到何時呢﹖
29 Beholde, howe the Lord hath giuen you the Sabbath: therefore he giueth you the sixt day bread for two dayes: tary therefore euery man in his place: let no man goe out of his place the seuenth day.
看上主給你們立了安息日，為此到第六天他給你們兩天的食物；到第七天各人都應留在家內，不准任何人離開自己的地方。」
30 So the people rested the seuenth day.
這樣百姓在第七天守了安息日。
31 And the house of Israel called the name of it, MAN. and it was like to coriander seede, but white: and the taste of it was like vnto wafers made with hony.
以色列家給這食物取名叫「瑪納。」它像胡荽的種子那樣白，滋味好似蜜餅。
32 And Moses said, This is that which the Lord hath commanded, Fill an Omer of it, to keepe it for your posteritie: that they may see the bread wherewith I haue fed you in wildernesse, when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.
梅瑟說：「上主這樣吩咐說：裝滿一「曷默耳」瑪納，留給你們的後代子孫，為使他們能看到我領你們出離埃及國時，在曠野裏養活你們的食物。」
33 Moses also said to Aaron, Take a pot and put an Omer full of MAN therein, and set it before the Lord to be kept for your posteritie.
梅瑟向亞郎說：「拿一個罐子，裝滿一「曷默耳」瑪納，放在上主面前，留給你們的後代子孫。」
34 As the Lord commanded Moses, so Aaron laied it vp before the Testimonie to be kept.
亞郎就照上主吩咐梅瑟的話，將瑪納放在約版前面，保留起來。
35 And the children of Israel did eate MAN fourtie yeres, vntill they came vnto a land inhabited: they did eate MAN vntill they came to the borders of the land of Canaan.
以色列子民吃瑪納四十年之久，直到進入有人居住的地方為止；他們吃瑪納，直到進入客納罕地的邊界。
36 The Omer is the tenth part of the Ephah.
一「曷默耳」是一「厄法」的十分之一。
