Exodus 16
1 They took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel [God prevails] came to the wilderness of Cin [Clay], which is between Elim and Sinai [Thorn], on the fifteenth day of the second month (Iyar ·Light / I Am God your healer, 2·) after their departing out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery].
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 The whole congregation of the children of Israel [God prevails] murmured against Moses [Drawn out] and against Aaron [Light-bringer] in the wilderness;
Men hele Israeliternes Menighed knurrede mod Moses og Aron i Ørkenen,
3 and the children of Israel [God prevails] said to them, “We wish that we had died by Adonai’s hand in the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], 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.”
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 Then Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “Behold, I will rain bread from the sky 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 Torah ·Teaching·, 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 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.”
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 Moses [Drawn out] and Aaron [Light-bringer] said to all the children of Israel [God prevails], “At evening, then you shall know that Adonai has brought you out from the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery];
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 in the morning, then you shall see the kavod Yahweh ·weighty glory of He sustains breathing·; because he sh'ma ·hears obeys· your murmurings against Adonai. Who 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 Moses [Drawn out] said, “Now Adonai shall give you meat to eat in the evening, and in the morning bread to satisfy you; because Adonai sh'ma ·hears obeys· your murmurings which you murmur against him. And who are we? Your murmurings are not against us, but against Adonai.”
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 Moses [Drawn out] said to Aaron [Light-bringer], “Tell all the congregation of the children of Israel [God prevails], ‘Come near before Adonai, 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 As Aaron [Light-bringer] spoke to the whole congregation of the children of Israel [God prevails], they looked toward the wilderness, and behold, the kavod Yahweh ·weighty glory of He sustains breathing· appeared 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 Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,
Da talede HERREN til Moses og sagde:
12 “I have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· the murmurings of the children of Israel [God prevails]. 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 Adonai your God.’”
»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 In the evening, quail came up and covered the camp; and in the morning the dew lay 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 When the dew that lay had gone, behold, on the surface of the wilderness was a small round thing, small as the frost on the ground.
og da Duggen svandt, var Ørkenen dækket med noget fint, skælagtigt noget, noget fint der lignede Rim paa Jorden.
15 When the children of Israel [God prevails] saw it, they asked one another, “Man hu? ·What is it·?” For they didn’t know what it was. Moses [Drawn out] answered them, “It is the bread which Adonai has given you to eat.”
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 Adonai has enjoined: “Gather of it everyone according to his eating; an omer ·sheath of grain· [2.6 qt; 1.2 L] a head, according to the number of your persons, you shall take it, every man for those who are 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 The children of Israel [God prevails] did so, and gathered some more, some less.
Israeliterne gjorde nu saaledes, og de samlede, nogle mere og andre mindre;
18 When they measured it with an omer ·sheath of grain· [2.6 qt; 1.2 L], he who gathered much had nothing extra, and he who gathered little had nothing lacking. They gathered every man according to his eating.
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 Moses [Drawn out] said to them, “Let no one leave of it until the morning.”
Derpaa sagde Moses til dem: »Ingen maa gemme noget deraf til næste Morgen!«
20 Notwithstanding they didn’t sh'ma ·hear obey· Moses [Drawn out], but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and became foul: and Moses [Drawn out] was 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 They gathered it morning by morning, everyone according to his eating. When the sun grew hot, it melted.
Saaledes samlede de nu hver Morgen, enhver saa meget som han havde behov. Men naar Solen begyndte at brænde, smeltede det.
22 On the sixth day, they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one, and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses [Drawn out].
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 He said to them, “This is that which Adonai has spoken, ‘Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy Sabbath ·Intermission· to Adonai. 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.’”
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 They laid it up until the morning, as Moses [Drawn out] enjoined, and it didn’t become foul, and there were no worms 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 Moses [Drawn out] said, “Eat that today, for today is a Shabath ·Intermission· to Adonai. Today you shall 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 shall gather it, but on the seventh day is the Shabath ·Intermission·. In it there shall be none.”
I seks Dage skal I samle det, men paa den syvende Dag, paa Sabbaten, er der intet at finde.«
27 On the seventh day, some of the people went out to gather, and they found none.
Alligevel var der nogle blandt Folket, der gik ud paa den syvende Dag for at samle; men de fandt intet.
28 Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “How long do you refuse to keep my mitzvot ·instructions· and my torot ·teachings·?
Da sagde HERREN til Moses: »Hvor længe vil I vægre eder ved at holde mine Bud og Love?
29 Behold, because Adonai has given you the Shabath ·Intermission·, 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.”
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 So the people rested on the seventh day.
Da hvilede Folket paa den syvende Dag.
31 The house of Israel [God prevails] called its name Manna ·What is it·, and it was like coriander seed, white; and its taste was like wafers with honey.
Men Israeliterne kaldte det Manna; det lignede hvide Korianderfrø og smagte som Honningkager.
32 Moses [Drawn out] said, “This is the thing which Adonai has enjoined, ‘Let an omer-full of it be kept throughout all your generations, that they may see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery].’”
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 Moses [Drawn out] said to Aaron [Light-bringer], “Take a pot, and put an omer-full of manna ·what is it· in it, and lay it up before Adonai, to be kept throughout all 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 Adonai enjoined Moses [Drawn out], so Aaron [Light-bringer] laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
Og Aron gjorde, som HERREN havde paalagt Moses, og han stillede den foran Vidnesbyrdet for at gemmes.
35 The children of Israel [God prevails] ate the manna ·what is it· forty years, until they came to an inhabited land. They ate the manna ·what is it· until they came to the borders of the land of Canaan [Humbled].
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 Now an omer ·sheath of grain· [2.6 qt; 1.2 L] is one tenth of an ephah [0.63 bushels; 5.9 gal; 22 L].
En Omer er Tiendedelen af en Efa.
