Exodus 16
1 And they journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the sons of Israel come to the wilderness of Sin, which [is] between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month of their going out from the 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 all the congregation of the sons of Israel murmur against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness;
Men hele Israeliternes Menighed knurrede mod Moses og Aron i Ørkenen,
3 and the sons of Israel say to them, “Oh that we had died by the hand of YHWH in the land of Egypt, in our sitting by the flesh-pot, in our eating bread to satiety—for you have brought us out to this wilderness to put all this assembly to death with hunger.”
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 And YHWH says to Moses, “Behold, I am raining bread from the heavens for you—and the people have gone out and gathered the matter of a day in its day—so that I try them whether they 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 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 and it has been on the sixth day, that they have prepared that which they bring in, and it has been double above that which they gather day [by] day.”
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 And Moses says—Aaron also—to all the sons of Israel, “Evening—and you have known that YHWH has brought you out from 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 morning—and you have seen the glory of YHWH, in His hearing your murmurings against YHWH, and what [are] we, that you murmur 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 says, “In YHWH’s giving to you flesh to eat in the evening, and bread in the morning to satiety—in YHWH’s hearing your murmurings, which you are murmuring against Him, and what [are] we? Your murmurings [are] not against us, but against YHWH.”
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 says to Aaron, “Say to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, Come near before YHWH, for He has 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 and it comes to pass, when Aaron is speaking to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, that they turn toward the wilderness, and behold, the glory of YHWH is seen in the 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 YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Da talede HERREN til Moses og sagde:
12 “I have heard the murmurings of the sons of Israel; speak to them, saying, Between the evenings you eat flesh, and in the morning you are satisfied [with] bread, and you have known that I [am] your God YHWH.”
»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 it comes to pass in the evening, that the quail comes up, and covers the camp, and in the morning there has been the lying of dew around the camp,
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 the lying of the dew goes up, and behold, on the face of the wilderness [is] a thin, bare thing, thin as hoarfrost on the earth.
og da Duggen svandt, var Ørkenen dækket med noget fint, skælagtigt noget, noget fint der lignede Rim paa Jorden.
15 And the sons of Israel see, and say to one another, “What [is] it?” For they have not known what it [is]; and Moses says to them, “It [is] the bread which YHWH has given to you for food.
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 YHWH has commanded: Gather of it, each according to his eating, an omer for the counted head; and the number of your persons, take, each, for those 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 sons of Israel do so, and they gather, he who is [gathering] much, and he who is [gathering] little;
Israeliterne gjorde nu saaledes, og de samlede, nogle mere og andre mindre;
18 and they measure with an omer, and he who is [gathering] much has nothing over, and he who is [gathering] little has no lack, each according to his eating they have gathered.
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 And Moses says to them, “Let no man leave of it until morning”;
Derpaa sagde Moses til dem: »Ingen maa gemme noget deraf til næste Morgen!«
20 and they have not listened to Moses, and some of them leave of it until morning, and it brings up worms and stinks; and Moses is 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 paa dem.
21 And they gather it morning by morning, each according to his eating; when the sun has been warm, then it has melted.
Saaledes samlede de nu hver Morgen, enhver saa meget som han havde behov. Men naar Solen begyndte at brænde, smeltede det.
22 And it comes to pass on the sixth day, they have gathered a second bread, two omers for one, and all the princes of the congregation come in, and declare [it] to 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 says to them, “It [is] that which YHWH has spoken: A rest—a holy Sabbath to YHWH—[is] tomorrow; that which you bake, bake; and that which you boil, boil; and all that is remaining, let [it] rest for yourselves for preservation 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 let it rest until the morning, as Moses has commanded, and it has not stunk, and a worm has not been 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 says, “Eat it today, for today [is] a Sabbath to YHWH; today you do not find it in the field:
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 six days you gather it, and in the seventh day—the Sabbath—there is none in it.”
I seks Dage skal I samle det, men paa den syvende Dag, paa Sabbaten, er der intet at finde.«
27 And it comes to pass on the seventh day, some of the people have gone out to gather, and have not found.
Alligevel var der nogle blandt Folket, der gik ud paa den syvende Dag for at samle; men de fandt intet.
28 And YHWH says to Moses, “How long have you refused to keep My commands and My laws?
Da sagde HERREN til Moses: »Hvor længe vil I vægre eder ved at holde mine Bud og Love?
29 See, because YHWH has given the Sabbath to you, therefore He is giving to you on the sixth day bread of two days; each abide [in] his place, no one goes out from his place on the seventh 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 And the people rest on the seventh day,
Da hvilede Folket paa den syvende Dag.
31 and the house of Israel calls its name Manna, and it [is] as white coriander seed; and its taste [is] as a cake with honey.
Men Israeliterne kaldte det Manna; det lignede hvide Korianderfrø og smagte som Honningkager.
32 And Moses says, “This [is] the thing which YHWH has commanded: Fill the omer with it, for a charge for your generations, so that they see the bread which I have caused you to eat in the wilderness, in My bringing you out from 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 And Moses says to Aaron, “Take one pot, and put the fullness of the omer of manna [in] there, and let it rest before YHWH, for a charge for your generations”;
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 YHWH has given command to Moses, so Aaron lets it rest before the Testimony, for a charge.
Og Aron gjorde, som HERREN havde paalagt Moses, og han stillede den foran Vidnesbyrdet for at gemmes.
35 And the sons of Israel have eaten the manna [for] forty years, until their coming to the land to be inhabited; they have eaten the manna until their coming to the extremity 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 And the omer is a tenth of the ephah.
En Omer er Tiendedelen af en Efa.
