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.
以色列全会众从以琳起行，在出埃及后第二个月十五日到了以琳和西奈中间、汛的旷野。
2 The whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness;
以色列全会众在旷野向摩西、亚伦发怨言，
3 and the children of Israel said to them, "We wish that we had died by the hand of the LORD 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."
说：“巴不得我们早死在埃及地、耶和华的手下；那时我们坐在肉锅旁边，吃得饱足。你们将我们领出来，到这旷野，是要叫这全会众都饿死啊！”
4 Then said the LORD 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.
耶和华对摩西说：“我要将粮食从天降给你们。百姓可以出去，每天收每天的分，我好试验他们遵不遵我的法度。
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."
到第六天，他们要把所收进来的预备好了，比每天所收的多一倍。”
6 Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, "At evening, then you shall know that the LORD has brought you out from the land of Egypt;
摩西、亚伦对以色列众人说：“到了晚上，你们要知道是耶和华将你们从埃及地领出来的。
7 and in the morning, then you shall see the glory of the LORD, because he has heard your murmurings against God. Who are we, that you murmur against us?"
早晨，你们要看见耶和华的荣耀，因为耶和华听见你们向他所发的怨言了。我们算什么，你们竟向我们发怨言呢？”
8 Moses said, "Now the LORD shall give you meat to eat in the evening, and in the morning bread to satisfy you; because the LORD hears your murmurings which you murmur against him. And who are we? Your murmurings are not against us, but against God."
摩西又说：“耶和华晚上必给你们肉吃，早晨必给你们食物得饱；因为你们向耶和华发的怨言，他都听见了。我们算什么，你们的怨言不是向我们发的，乃是向耶和华发的。”
9 Moses said to Aaron, "Tell all the congregation of the children of Israel, 'Come near before God, for he has heard your murmurings.'"
摩西对亚伦说：“你告诉以色列全会众说：‘你们就近耶和华面前，因为他已经听见你们的怨言了。’”
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 the LORD appeared in the cloud.
亚伦正对以色列全会众说话的时候，他们向旷野观看，不料，耶和华的荣光在云中显现。
11 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华晓谕摩西说：
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 the LORD your God.'"
“我已经听见以色列人的怨言。你告诉他们说：‘到黄昏的时候，你们要吃肉，早晨必有食物得饱，你们就知道我是耶和华—你们的 神。’”
13 It happened at evening that quail came up and covered the camp; and in the morning the dew lay around the camp.
到了晚上，有鹌鹑飞来，遮满了营；早晨在营四围的地上有露水。
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.
露水上升之后，不料，野地面上有如白霜的小圆物。
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 the LORD has given you to eat."
以色列人看见，不知道是什么，就彼此对问说：“这是什么呢？”摩西对他们说：“这就是耶和华给你们吃的食物。
16 This is the thing which the LORD 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."
耶和华所吩咐的是这样：你们要按着各人的饭量，为帐棚里的人，按着人数收起来，各拿一俄梅珥。”
17 The children of Israel did so, and gathered some more, some less.
以色列人就这样行；有多收的，有少收的。
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.
及至用俄梅珥量一量，多收的也没有余，少收的也没有缺；各人按着自己的饭量收取。
19 Moses said to them, "Let no one leave of it until the morning."
摩西对他们说：“所收的，不许什么人留到早晨。”
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.
然而他们不听摩西的话，内中有留到早晨的，就生虫变臭了；摩西便向他们发怒。
21 They gathered it morning by morning, everyone according to his eating. When the sun grew hot, it melted.
他们每日早晨，按着各人的饭量收取，日头一发热，就消化了。
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.
到第六天，他们收了双倍的食物，每人两俄梅珥。会众的官长来告诉摩西；
23 He said to them, "This is that which the LORD has spoken, 'Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy Sabbath to the LORD. 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.'"
摩西对他们说：“耶和华这样说：‘明天是圣安息日，是向耶和华守的圣安息日。你们要烤的就烤了，要煮的就煮了，所剩下的都留到早晨。’”
24 They laid it up until the morning, as Moses asked, and it did not become foul, neither was there any worm in it.
他们就照摩西的吩咐留到早晨，也不臭，里头也没有虫子。
25 Moses said, "Eat that today, for today is a Sabbath to the LORD. Today you shall not find it in the field.
摩西说：“你们今天吃这个吧！因为今天是向耶和华守的安息日；你们在田野必找不着了。
26 Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day is the Sabbath. In it there shall be none."
六天可以收取，第七天乃是安息日，那一天必没有了。”
27 It happened on the seventh day, that some of the people went out to gather, and they found none.
第七天，百姓中有人出去收，什么也找不着。
28 The LORD said to Moses, "How long do you refuse to keep my commandments and my laws?
耶和华对摩西说：“你们不肯守我的诫命和律法，要到几时呢？
29 Look, because the LORD 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."
你们看！耶和华既将安息日赐给你们，所以第六天他赐给你们两天的食物，第七天各人要住在自己的地方，不许什么人出去。”
30 So the people rested on the seventh day.
于是百姓第七天安息了。
31 The house of Israel called its name Manna, and it was like coriander seed, white; and its taste was like wafers with honey.
这食物，以色列家叫吗哪；样子像芫荽子，颜色是白的，滋味如同搀蜜的薄饼。
32 Moses said, "This is the thing which the LORD 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.'"
摩西说：“耶和华所吩咐的是这样：‘要将一满俄梅珥吗哪留到世世代代，使后人可以看见我当日将你们领出埃及地，在旷野所给你们吃的食物。’”
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."
摩西对亚伦说：“你拿一个罐子，盛一满俄梅珥吗哪，存在耶和华面前，要留到世世代代。”
34 As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
耶和华怎么吩咐摩西，亚伦就怎么行，把吗哪放在法柜前存留。
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.
以色列人吃吗哪共四十年，直到进了有人居住之地，就是迦南的境界。（
36 Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
俄梅珥就是伊法十分之一。）
