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 The whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against 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 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."
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 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 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，他們要把所收進來的預備好了，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、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 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 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 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 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.
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 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和華曉諭摩西說：
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 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，有鵪鶉飛來，遮滿了營；早晨在營四圍的地上有露水。
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.
露水上升之後，不料，野地面上有如白霜的小圓物。
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 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 The children of Israel did so, and gathered some more, some less.
以色列人就這樣行；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，多收的也沒有餘，少收的也沒有缺；各人按着自己的飯量收取。
19 Moses said to them, "Let no one leave of it until the morning."
摩西對他們說：「所收的，不許甚麼人留到早晨。」
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 They gathered it morning by morning, everyone according to his eating. When the sun grew 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 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 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 They laid it up until the morning, as Moses asked, and it did not become foul, neither was there any worm in it.
他們就照摩西的吩咐留到早晨，也不臭，裏頭也沒有蟲子。
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 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，那一天必沒有了。」
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，甚麼也找不着。
28 The LORD said to Moses, "How long do you refuse 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 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 The house of Israel called its name Manna, and it was like coriander seed, white; and its taste was like wafers 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 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 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 commanded Moses, so Aaron laid 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 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.
以色列人吃嗎哪共四十年，直到進了有人居住之地，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。）
