Exodus 16
1 And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt.
以色列全會眾從以琳起行，在出埃及後第二個月十五日到了以琳和西奈中間、汛的曠野。
2 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness:
以色列全會眾在曠野向摩西、亞倫發怨言，
3 And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God that we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh-pot, when we ate bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.
說：「巴不得我們早死在埃及地、耶和華的手下；那時我們坐在肉鍋旁邊，吃得飽足。你們將我們領出來，到這曠野，是要叫這全會眾都餓死啊！」
4 Then said the Lord unto Moses, Behold, I will let rain for you bread from heaven; and the people shall go out and gather a certain portion every day, in order that I may prove it, whether it will walk in my law, or not.
耶和華對摩西說：「我要將糧食從天降給你們。百姓可以出去，每天收每天的分，我好試驗他們遵不遵我的法度。
5 And it shall come to pass, on the sixth day, when they prepare what they shall have brought in, that it shall be twice as much as they shall gather daily.
到第六天，他們要把所收進來的預備好了，比每天所收的多一倍。」
6 And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At evening, then shall ye know that it is the Lord who hath brought you out from the land of Egypt:
摩西、亞倫對以色列眾人說：「到了晚上，你們要知道是耶和華將你們從埃及地領出來的。
7 And in the morning, then shall ye see the glory of the Lord; since he heareth your murmurings against the Lord; and what are we, that ye should murmur against us?
早晨，你們要看見耶和華的榮耀，因為耶和華聽見你們向他所發的怨言了。我們算甚麼，你們竟向我們發怨言呢？」
8 And Moses said, When the Lord giveth you in the evening flesh to eat, and bread in the morning to the full; since the Lord heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: —what are we then? not against us are your murmurings, but against the Lord.
摩西又說：「耶和華晚上必給你們肉吃，早晨必給你們食物得飽；因為你們向耶和華發的怨言，他都聽見了。我們算甚麼，你們的怨言不是向我們發的，乃是向耶和華發的。」
9 And Moses said unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before the Lord; for he hath heard your murmurings.
摩西對亞倫說：「你告訴以色列全會眾說：『你們就近耶和華面前，因為他已經聽見你們的怨言了。』」
10 And it came to pass, as Aaron was speaking unto the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they turned round toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud.
亞倫正對以色列全會眾說話的時候，他們向曠野觀看，不料，耶和華的榮光在雲中顯現。
11 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
耶和華曉諭摩西說：
12 I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, Toward evening ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the Eternal your God.
「我已經聽見以色列人的怨言。你告訴他們說：『到黃昏的時候，你們要吃肉，早晨必有食物得飽，你們就知道我是耶和華－你們的上帝。』」
13 And it came to pass, that at evening the quails came up, and covered the camp; and in the morning there was a layer of dew round about the camp.
到了晚上，有鵪鶉飛來，遮滿了營；早晨在營四圍的地上有露水。
14 And when the layer of dew was gone up, behold, there was upon the face of the wilderness something fine in grains, small as the hoar-frost, on the ground.
露水上升之後，不料，野地面上有如白霜的小圓物。
15 And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna, for they knew not what it was; and Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the Lord hath given you to eat.
以色列人看見，不知道是甚麼，就彼此對問說：「這是甚麼呢？」摩西對他們說：「這就是耶和華給你們吃的食物。
16 This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating: an omer for every head, according to the number of your persons that every man hath in his tent, shall ye take.
耶和華所吩咐的是這樣：你們要按着各人的飯量，為帳棚裏的人，按着人數收起來，各拿一俄梅珥。」
17 And the children of Israel did so; and they gathered, some much, some little.
以色列人就這樣行；有多收的，有少收的。
18 And when they measured it with an omer, he that had gathered much had nothing over, and he that had gathered little had no lack: every man according to his eating, had they gathered.
及至用俄梅珥量一量，多收的也沒有餘，少收的也沒有缺；各人按着自己的飯量收取。
19 And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning.
摩西對他們說：「所收的，不許甚麼人留到早晨。」
20 But they hearkened not unto Moses; but some men left of it until morning, and it bred worms, and stank; and Moses was wroth with them.
然而他們不聽摩西的話，內中有留到早晨的，就生蟲變臭了；摩西便向他們發怒。
21 And so they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating; and when the sun waxed hot, it melted.
他們每日早晨，按着各人的飯量收取，日頭一發熱，就消化了。
22 And it came to pass on the sixth day, that they gathered twofold bread, two omers for every one; all the rulers of the congregation came and told it to Moses.
到第六天，他們收了雙倍的食物，每人兩俄梅珥。會眾的官長來告訴摩西；
23 And he said unto them. This is what the Lord hath spoken, A rest, a holy rest is unto the Lord tomorrow: that which ye will bake bake today, and what ye will seethe seethe today; and all the remaining lay up for you to be kept until the morning.
摩西對他們說：「耶和華這樣說：『明天是聖安息日，是向耶和華守的聖安息日。你們要烤的就烤了，要煮的就煮了，所剩下的都留到早晨。』」
24 And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses had bidden; and it did not stink, nor was there any worm therein.
他們就照摩西的吩咐留到早晨，也不臭，裏頭也沒有蟲子。
25 And Moses said, Eat it today; for a sabbath is this day unto the Lord: today ye will not find it in the field.
摩西說：「你們今天吃這個吧！因為今天是向耶和華守的安息日；你們在田野必找不着了。
26 Six days shall ye gather it; but on the seventh day, the sabbath, on it there shall be none.
六天可以收取，第七天乃是安息日，那一天必沒有了。」
27 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that there went out some of the people to gather; but they found nothing.
第七天，百姓中有人出去收，甚麼也找不着。
28 And the Lord said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?
耶和華對摩西說：「你們不肯守我的誡命和律法，要到幾時呢？
29 See, that the Lord hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day bread for two days; remain ye, every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.
你們看！耶和華既將安息日賜給你們，所以第六天他賜給你們兩天的食物，第七天各人要住在自己的地方，不許甚麼人出去。」
30 So the people rested on the seventh day.
於是百姓第七天安息了。
31 And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna, [[Man]]; and it was like coriander-seed, white, and its taste was like wafers made with honey.
這食物，以色列家叫嗎哪；樣子像芫荽子，顏色是白的，滋味如同攙蜜的薄餅。
32 And Moses said, This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded, One omer-full of it is to be kept for your generations; in order that they may see the bread which I gave you to eat in the wilderness, when I brought you forth out of the land of Egypt.
摩西說：「耶和華所吩咐的是這樣：『要將一滿俄梅珥嗎哪留到世世代代，使後人可以看見我當日將你們領出埃及地，在曠野所給你們吃的食物。』」
33 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a flask, and put therein an omer-full of manna, and lay it up before the Lord, to be kept for your generations.
摩西對亞倫說：「你拿一個罐子，盛一滿俄梅珥嗎哪，存在耶和華面前，要留到世世代代。」
34 As the Lord had commanded Moses, so did Aaron lay it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
耶和華怎麼吩咐摩西，亞倫就怎麼行，把嗎哪放在法櫃前存留。
35 And the children of Israel ate the manna forty years, until they came to an inhabited land; the manna they did eat, until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan.
以色列人吃嗎哪共四十年，直到進了有人居住之地，就是迦南的境界。（
36 But the omer is a tenth part of an ephah.
俄梅珥就是伊法十分之一。）
