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.
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 Congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wildernesse.
Men hele Israeliternes Menighed knurrede mod Moses og Aron i Ørkenen,
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.
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 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.
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 But the sixt daye they shall prepare that, which they shall bring home, and it shalbe twise as much as they gather dayly.
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 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:
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 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?
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 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.
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 sayd to Aaron, Say vnto all the Congregation of the children of Israel, Draw neere before the Lord: for he hath 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 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.
Og da Aron sagde det til hele Israeliternes Menighed, vendte de sig mod Ørkenen, og se, HERRENS Herlighed viste sig i Skyen.
11 (For the Lord had spoken vnto Moses, saying,
Da talede HERREN til Moses og sagde:
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)
»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 so at euen the quailes came and couered the campe: and in the morning the dewe lay round about the hoste.
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 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.
og da Duggen svandt, var Ørkenen dækket med noget fint, skælagtigt noget, noget fint der lignede Rim paa Jorden.
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.
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 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.
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 more, some lesse.
Israeliterne gjorde nu saaledes, og de samlede, nogle mere og andre mindre;
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.
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 Moses then said vnto them, Let no man reserue thereof till morning.
Derpaa sagde Moses til dem: »Ingen maa gemme noget deraf til næste Morgen!«
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.
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 euery morning, euery man according to his eating: for when the heate of the sunne came, it was melted.
Saaledes samlede de nu hver Morgen, enhver saa meget som han havde behov. Men naar Solen begyndte at brænde, smeltede det.
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.
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 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.
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 laied it vp till the morning, as Moses bade, and it stanke not, neyther was there any worme therein.
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 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.
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 Sixe dayes shall yee gather it, but in the seuenth day is the Sabbath: in it there shalbe none.
I seks Dage skal I samle det, men paa den syvende Dag, paa Sabbaten, er der intet at finde.«
27 Notwithstanding, there went out some of the people in ye seuenth day for to gather, 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 the Lord sayde vnto Moses, Howe long refuse yee to keepe my commandements, and my lawes?
Da sagde HERREN til Moses: »Hvor længe vil I vægre eder ved at holde mine Bud og Love?
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.
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 So the people rested the seuenth day.
Da hvilede Folket paa den syvende Dag.
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.
Men Israeliterne kaldte det Manna; det lignede hvide Korianderfrø og smagte som Honningkager.
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.
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 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.
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 the Lord commanded Moses, so Aaron laied it vp before the Testimonie 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 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.
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 The Omer is the tenth part of the Ephah.
En Omer er Tiendedelen af en Efa.
