Exodus 16

1 They took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came to 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.

मानिसहरूले एलीमबाट यात्रा थाले र मिश्र देशबाट प्रस्थान गरेको दोस्रो महिनाको पन्ध्रौँ दिनमा इस्राएलीहरूका सारा समुदाय एलीम र सीनै पर्वतको बिचमा पर्ने सीनको उजाड-स्थानमा आइपुगे ।

2 The whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness;

उजाड-स्थानमा इस्राएलीहरूका सारा समुदायले मोशा र हारूनको विरुद्धमा गनगन गरे ।

3 and the children of Israel said to them, "We wish that we had died by the hand of Jehovah in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the meat pots, when we ate our fill of bread, for you have brought us out into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger."

इस्राएलीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “हामी मासुको भाँडानेर बसेर अघाउञ्‍जेल रोटी खाइरहँदा मिश्र देशमा नै परमप्रभुको हातद्वारा मरेको भए हुनेथियो । किनकि तपाईंहरूले हाम्रो पुरै समुदायलाई भोकले मार्न हामीलाई उजाड-स्थानमा ल्याउनुभएको छ ।”

4 Then said Jehovah to Moses, "Look, I will rain bread from heaven for you, and the people shall go out and gather a day's portion every day, that I may test them, whether they will walk in my law, or not.

तब परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्‍नुभयो, “म तिमीहरूका निम्ति स्वर्गबाट रोटी बर्साउनेछु । तिनीहरू मेरो विधि मान्छन् वा मान्दैनन् भनी जाँच गर्न हरेक दिन एक दिनको भाग जम्मा गर्न मानिसहरू बाहिर जानेछन् ।

5 It shall come to pass on the sixth day, that they shall prepare that which they bring in, and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily."

छैटौँ दिनमा तिनीहरूले पहिले हरेक दिनमा बटुल्ने भन्दा दुई गुणा बटुल्नेछन्, र तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई भित्र ल्याएर पकाउनेछन् ।”

6 Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, "At evening, then you shall know that Jehovah has brought you out from the land of Egypt;

तब मोशा र हारूनले इस्राएलका सबै मानिसलाई भने, “मिश्र देशबाट तिमीहरूलाई निकालेर ल्याउनुहुने परमप्रभु नै हुनुहुन्छ भनी साँझमा तिमीहरूले थाहा पाउनेछौ ।

7 and in the morning, then you shall see the glory of Jehovah, because he has heard your murmurings against God. Who are we, that you murmur against us?"

बिहान तिमीहरूले परमप्रभुको महिमा देख्‍नेछौ किनकि तिमीहरूले उहाँको विरुद्धमा गरेको गनगन उहाँले सुन्‍नुभएको छ । हाम्रो विरुद्धमा गनगन गर्ने तिमीहरूका लागि हामी को हौँ र?

8 Moses said, "Now Jehovah shall give you meat to eat in the evening, and in the morning bread to satisfy you; because Jehovah hears your murmurings which you murmur against him. And who are we? Your murmurings are not against us, but against God."

मोशाले यसो पनि भने, “तिमीहरूले उहाँको विरुद्धमा गरेको गनगन उहाँले सुन्‍नुभएकोले उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई साँझमा मासु र बिहान रोटी अघाउञ्‍जेल दिनुहुँदा तिमीहरूले यो जान्‍नेछौ । हारून र म को हौँ र? तिमीहरूको गनगन हाम्रा विरुद्धमा नभई परमप्रभुको विरुद्धमा हो ।”

9 Moses said to Aaron, "Tell all the congregation of the children of Israel, 'Come near before God, for he has heard your murmurings.'"

मोशाले हारूनलाई भने, “इस्राएलका सारा समुदायलाई भन्‍नुहोस्, 'परमप्रभुको नजिक आओ किनकि उहाँले तिमीहरूको गनगन सुन्‍नुभएको छ' ।”

10 It happened, as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and look, the glory of Jehovah appeared in the cloud.

हारून इस्राएलको सारा समुदायसित बोल्दा तिनीहरूले उजाड-स्थानतिर हेरे र परमप्रभुको महिमा बादलमा देखियो ।

11 Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

तब परमप्रभुले मोशालाई यसो भन्‍नुभयो,

12 "I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel. Speak to them, saying, 'At evening you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread: and you shall know that I am Jehovah your God.'"

“मैले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूको गनगन सुनेको छु । तिनीहरूलाई भन्, 'साँझमा तिमीहरूले मासु खानेछौ, र बिहानचाहिँ तिमीहरूले अघाउञ्‍जेल रोटी खानेछौ । तब म नै तिमीहरूका परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर हुँ भनी तिमीहरूले जान्‍नेछौ' ।”

13 It happened at evening that quail came up and covered the camp; and in the morning the dew lay around the camp.

साँझमा बट्टाई चराहरू आएर तिनीहरूको छाउनी नै ढाकिदिए । बिहान छाउनीको वरिपरि शीत परेको थियो ।

14 When the dew that lay had gone, look, on the surface of the wilderness was a small round thing, small as the frost on the ground.

शीत सुकेपछि जमिनमा देखा परेको तुसारोझैँ स-साना डल्लाहरू उजाड-स्थानको सतहमा थिए ।

15 When the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, "What is it?" For they did not know what it was. Moses said to them, "It is the bread which Jehovah has given you to eat."

इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले यसलाई देखेपछि तिनीहरूले एक-अर्कालाई भने, “यो के हो?” यो के थियो भनी तिनीहरूलाई थाहा थिएन । मोशाले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “यो परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई खानलाई दिनुभएको रोटी हो ।

16 This is the thing which Jehovah has commanded: "Gather of it everyone according to his eating; an omer a head, according to the number of your persons, you shall take it, every man for those who are in his tent."

परमप्रभुले दिनुभएको आज्ञा यस्तो छः तिमीहरू हरेकले आफूलाई चाहिने बटुल अर्थात् तिमीहरूका मानिसहरूको सङ्ख्याअनुसार हरेकलाई एक-एक ओमेर बटुल । तिमीहरूको पालमा बस्‍ने हरेक व्यक्तिलाई पर्याप्‍त हुने गरी बटुल' ।”

17 The children of Israel did so, and gathered some more, some less.

इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले त्यसै गरे । कसैले धेरै बटुले भने कसैले थोरै ।

18 When they measured it with an omer, he who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack. They gathered every man according to his eating.

तिनीहरूले ओमेरले नाप्दा धेरै बटुल्नेहरूको बढ्ता भएन र कम बटुल्नेहरूलाई पनि अपुग भएन । हरेक व्यक्तिले आफ्नो आवश्यकताअनुसार बटुल्यो ।

19 Moses said to them, "Let no one leave of it until the morning."

तब मोशाले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “बिहानसम्म तिमीहरू कसैले पनि यसबाट नउबार ।”

20 Notwithstanding they did not listen to Moses, but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and became foul: and Moses was angry with them.

तर तिनीहरूले मोशाको कुरा मानेनन् । कसैले बिहानसम्म अलिकति उबारे, तर त्यसमा किरा लागेर त्यो गन्हायो । त्यसपछि मोशा तिनीहरूसित रिसाए ।

21 They gathered it morning by morning, everyone according to his eating. When the sun grew hot, it melted.

तिनीहरूले बिहानैपिच्छे बटुल्थे । हरेकले त्यस दिनलाई पुग्‍ने बटुल्थ्यो । घाम चर्केपछि त्यो पग्लन्थ्यो ।

22 It happened that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one, and all the leaders of the congregation came and told Moses.

छैटौँ दिनमा तिनीहरूले दुई गुणा रोटी बटुले अर्थात् हरेकको लागि दुई ओमेर बटुले । समुदायका सारा धर्म-गुरुहरू आएर मोशालाई यो कुरा बताए ।

23 He said to them, "This is that which Jehovah has spoken, 'Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy Sabbath to Jehovah. Bake that which you want to bake, and boil that which you want to boil; and all that remains over lay up for yourselves to be kept until the morning.'"

तिनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “परमप्रभुले यसो भन्‍नुभएको छः भोलि विश्रामको दिन हो अर्थात् परमप्रभुको दृष्‍टिमा पवित्र शबाथ हो । तिमीहरू जे पकाउन चाहन्छौ, सो पकाओ र जे उमाल्न चाहन्छौ, सो उमाल । उब्रेको जति सबै बिहानसम्म आफ्नो लागि राख्‍नू' ।”

24 They laid it up until the morning, as Moses asked, and it did not become foul, neither was there any worm in it.

त्यसैले तिनीहरूले मोशाले निर्देशन दिएजस्तै यसलाई बिहानसम्म राखे ।

25 Moses said, "Eat that today, for today is a Sabbath to Jehovah. Today you shall not find it in the field.

मोशाले भने, “त्यो खाना आज खाओ किनकि आजको दिन परमप्रभुको निम्ति अलग गरिएको शबाथ हो । आज तिमीहरूले यो खाना जमिनमा पाउनेछैनौ ।

26 Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day is the Sabbath. In it there shall be none."

छ दिनसम्म तिमीहरूले यो बटुल्नेछौ, तर सातौँ दिनचाहिँ शबाथ हो ।

27 It happened on the seventh day, that some of the people went out to gather, and they found none.

सातौँ दिनमा त्यहाँ मन्‍न हुनेछैन ।” सातौँ दिनमा पनि केही मानिसहरू मन्‍न बटुल्न गए, तर तिनीहरूले केही पाएनन् ।

28 Jehovah said to Moses, "How long do you refuse to keep my commandments and my laws?

तब परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्‍नुभयो, “कहिलेसम्म तिमीहरू मेरा आज्ञा र विधिहरू मान्‍नलाई इन्कार गर्छौ?

29 Look, because Jehovah has given you the Sabbath, therefore he gives you on the sixth day the bread of two days. Everyone stay in his place. Let no one go out of his place on the seventh day."

परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई शबाथ दिनुभएको छ । त्यसैले छैटौँ दिनमा उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई दुई दिनको लागि रोटी दिँदै हुनुहुन्छ । हरेक आ-आफ्नै ठाउँमा बस्‍नू । सातौँ दिनमा कोही पनि आफ्नो ठाउँबाट बाहिर नजानू ।”

30 So the people rested on the seventh day.

त्यसैले मानिसहरूले सातौँ दिनमा विश्राम गरे ।

31 The house of Israel called its name Manna, and it was like coriander seed, white; and its taste was like wafers with honey.

इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले त्यस खानालाई “मन्‍न” भने । यो धनियाँको गेडाजस्तो सेतो थियो र यसको स्वाद महमा बनाइएको बाबरजस्तो थियो ।

32 Moses said, "This is the thing which Jehovah has commanded, 'Let an omer-full of it be kept throughout your generations, that they may see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.'"

मोशाले भने, “परमप्रभुले दिनुभएको आज्ञा यही होः एक ओमेर मन्‍न तिमीहरूको पुस्तौँसम्मको लागि राख ताकि तिमीहरूका सन्तानहरूले मैले तिमीहरूलाई मिश्र देशबाट निकालेर ल्याएपछि उजाड-स्थानमा खुवाएको यो रोटी देख्‍न सकून्' ।”

33 Moses said to Aaron, "Take a jar, and put an omer-full of manna in it, and place it before God, to be kept throughout your generations."

मोशाले हारूनलाई भने, “एउटा भाँडोभित्र एक ओमेर मन्‍न हाल्नुहोस् । पुस्तौँसम्म यसलाई परमप्रभुको सामु सुरक्षित राख्‍नुहोस् ।”

34 As Jehovah commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.

परमप्रभुले मोशालाई आज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ हारूनले यसलाई करारको सन्दुकको छेउमा राखे ।

35 The children of Israel ate the manna forty years, until they came to an inhabited land. They ate the manna until they came to the borders of the land of Canaan.

इस्राएलीहरू मानिसहरू बसोबास गरेको भूमिमा नआउञ्‍जेलसम्म तिनीहरूले चालिस वर्षसम्म मन्‍न खाइरहे । तिनीहरू कनान देशका सिमानाहरूमा नआउञ्‍जेलम्म यो खाइरहे ।

36 Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.

एक ओमेर आधा पाथी हुन्छ ।
