< Exodus 16 >

1 They/We left Elim, and all the Israeli people came to the desert [named] Sin. That is between Elim and Sinai [Mountain]. That was on the fifteenth day of the second month after they/we left Egypt.
Setelah mereka berangkat dari Elim, tibalah segenap jemaah Israel di padang gurun Sin, yang terletak di antara Elim dan gunung Sinai, pada hari yang kelima belas bulan yang kedua, sejak mereka keluar dari tanah Mesir.
2 There in the desert, the Israeli [HYP] people complained to Aaron and Moses/me.
Di padang gurun itu bersungut-sungutlah segenap jemaah Israel kepada Musa dan Harun;
3 They said to them/us, “We wish that Yahweh had killed us in Egypt! There we had meat to eat, and all the bread that we wanted. But you have brought us into this desert in order that we will all starve to death!”
dan berkata kepada mereka: "Ah, kalau kami mati tadinya di tanah Mesir oleh tangan TUHAN ketika kami duduk menghadapi kuali berisi daging dan makan roti sampai kenyang! Sebab kamu membawa kami keluar ke padang gurun ini untuk membunuh seluruh jemaah ini dengan kelaparan."
4 Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Listen to what I am going [to do]. I am going to send something from the sky that will [take the place of] bread for all of you. When I do that, the people must go out of their tents every day and gather just enough to eat on that day. [When I do that], I will find out whether they will obey my instructions or not.
Lalu berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Musa: "Sesungguhnya Aku akan menurunkan dari langit hujan roti bagimu; maka bangsa itu akan keluar dan memungut tiap-tiap hari sebanyak yang perlu untuk sehari, supaya mereka Kucoba, apakah mereka hidup menurut hukum-Ku atau tidak.
5 On the sixth day [after I start doing that], they will be able to gather twice as much as on the other days, [and not have to gather any on the seventh day]. Then they can prepare it [to eat it on the 6th and 7th days].”
Dan pada hari yang keenam, apabila mereka memasak yang dibawa mereka pulang, maka yang dibawa itu akan terdapat dua kali lipat banyaknya dari apa yang dipungut mereka sehari-hari."
6 So Aaron and Moses/I said to all the Israeli people, “This evening you will know that it was Yahweh, [not we], who brought you out of Egypt.
Sesudah itu berkatalah Musa dan Harun kepada seluruh orang Israel: "Petang ini kamu akan mengetahui bahwa Tuhanlah yang telah membawa kamu keluar dari tanah Mesir.
7 And tomorrow morning you will see how great Yahweh is, because he has heard what you have complained about. He is the one whom you have really complained to, because we are just his servants.” [RHQ]
Dan besok pagi kamu melihat kemuliaan TUHAN, karena Ia telah mendengar sungut-sungutmu kepada-Nya. Sebab, apalah kami ini maka kamu bersungut-sungut kepada kami?"
8 Then Moses/I also said, “[From now on, each] evening Yahweh will give you meat to eat, and [each] morning he will give you [something that will take the place of] bread, because he has heard what you have complained about. Yahweh is the one to whom you have really complained, not us. We are just his servants.” [RHQ]
Lagi kata Musa: "Jika memang TUHAN yang memberi kamu makan daging pada waktu petang dan makan roti sampai kenyang pada waktu pagi, karena TUHAN telah mendengar sungut-sungutmu yang kamu sungut-sungutkan kepada-Nya--apalah kami ini? Bukan kepada kami sungut-sungutmu itu, tetapi kepada TUHAN."
9 Then Moses/I said to Aaron, “Tell all the Israeli people, ‘Come and stand here in the presence of Yahweh, because he has heard what you have been complaining about.’”
Kata Musa kepada Harun: "Katakanlah kepada segenap jemaah Israel: Marilah dekat ke hadapan TUHAN, sebab Ia telah mendengar sungut-sungutmu."
10 So Aaron told them that. And as Aaron was talking to all the Israeli people, they looked toward the desert, and were surprised to see the (dazzling light/incredible brightness) of Yahweh in the cloud [that had been leading them].
Dan sedang Harun berbicara kepada segenap jemaah Israel, mereka memalingkan mukanya ke arah padang gurun--maka tampaklah kemuliaan TUHAN dalam awan.
11 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Lalu berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Musa:
12 “I have heard what the Israeli people have been complaining about. So say to them, ‘From now on, each evening, you will have meat to eat. And each morning you will have something that will take the place of bread. You will have all you want of it to eat.’ Then you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
"Aku telah mendengar sungut-sungut orang Israel; katakanlah kepada mereka: Pada waktu senja kamu akan makan daging dan pada waktu pagi kamu akan kenyang makan roti; maka kamu akan mengetahui, bahwa Akulah TUHAN, Allahmu."
13 That evening, (quails/small plump birds) appeared, and [there were so many that] they covered the campsite. The next morning there was [something like] dew all around the campsite.
Pada waktu petang datanglah berduyun-duyun burung puyuh yang menutupi perkemahan itu; dan pada waktu pagi terletaklah embun sekeliling perkemahan itu.
14 When the dew evaporated, on the surface of the desert there was a thick layer of something that looked like white flakes. It looked like frost.
Ketika embun itu telah menguap, tampaklah pada permukaan padang gurun sesuatu yang halus, sesuatu yang seperti sisik, halus seperti embun beku di bumi.
15 When the Israeli people saw it, since they [had never seen it before and] did not know what it was, they said to each other, “What is it?” Moses/I replied to them, “It is something Yahweh has given you to eat, to take the place of bread.
Ketika orang Israel melihatnya, berkatalah mereka seorang kepada yang lain: "Apakah ini?" Sebab mereka tidak tahu apa itu. Tetapi Musa berkata kepada mereka: "Inilah roti yang diberikan TUHAN kepadamu menjadi makananmu.
16 This is what Yahweh has commanded: ‘Each of you should gather as much as you need to eat. Gather two quarts/liters for each person who lives in your tents.’”
Beginilah perintah TUHAN: Pungutlah itu, tiap-tiap orang menurut keperluannya; masing-masing kamu boleh mengambil untuk seisi kemahnya, segomer seorang, menurut jumlah jiwa."
17 So that is what the Israeli people did. Some gathered more and some gathered less.
Demikianlah diperbuat orang Israel; mereka mengumpulkan, ada yang banyak, ada yang sedikit.
18 But when they measured [what they had gathered], those that had gathered a lot did not have anything left over. And those that gathered less still had enough to eat. Each person gathered just what they needed.
Ketika mereka menakarnya dengan gomer, maka orang yang mengumpulkan banyak, tidak kelebihan dan orang yang mengumpulkan sedikit, tidak kekurangan. Tiap-tiap orang mengumpulkan menurut keperluannya.
19 Moses/I said to them, “Do not leave any of it to eat tomorrow morning!”
Musa berkata kepada mereka: "Seorangpun tidak boleh meninggalkan dari padanya sampai pagi."
20 But some of them did not pay any attention to what Moses/I said. They kept some of it until the next morning. But it was full of maggots and smelled rotten. And that made Moses/me angry.
Tetapi ada yang tidak mendengarkan Musa dan meninggalkan dari padanya sampai pagi, lalu berulat dan berbau busuk. Maka Musa menjadi marah kepada mereka.
21 Each morning they gathered as much as they needed. But [later], when the sun got hot, [what was left on the ground] melted.
Setiap pagi mereka memungutnya, tiap-tiap orang menurut keperluannya; tetapi ketika matahari panas, cairlah itu.
22 On the sixth day after they started gathering it, each person was able to gather four quarts/liters, which was twice [as much as they gathered on the other days]. When the leaders of the people came to Moses/me and told him/me [about that],
Dan pada hari yang keenam mereka memungut roti itu dua kali lipat banyaknya, dua gomer untuk tiap-tiap orang; dan datanglah semua pemimpin jemaah memberitahukannya kepada Musa.
23 Moses/I said to them, “This is what Yahweh has commanded: ‘Tomorrow will be a day for you to rest completely. It will be a day dedicated to Yahweh. So today, bake or boil what you will [need for today and for tomorrow]. Whatever is left [this evening], you should put aside and keep it [to eat] tomorrow.’”
Lalu berkatalah Musa kepada mereka: "Inilah yang dimaksudkan TUHAN: Besok adalah hari perhentian penuh, sabat yang kudus bagi TUHAN; maka roti yang perlu kamu bakar, bakarlah, dan apa yang perlu kamu masak, masaklah; dan segala kelebihannya biarkanlah di tempatnya untuk disimpan sampai pagi."
24 So they did what Moses/I commanded. What was left over, they kept until the next day. It did not spoil and did not get maggots in it!
Mereka membiarkannya di tempatnya sampai keesokan harinya, seperti yang diperintahkan Musa; lalu tidaklah berbau busuk dan tidak ada ulat di dalamnya.
25 [On that day], Moses/I said, “Eat today [what you have saved from yesterday], because today is a day dedicated to Yahweh. Today you will not find any of that food outside.
Selanjutnya kata Musa: "Makanlah itu pada hari ini, sebab hari ini adalah sabat untuk TUHAN, pada hari ini tidaklah kamu mendapatnya di padang.
26 [Every week], you must gather it for six days; but on the seventh day, which will be a day of rest, you will not find any.”
Enam hari lamanya kamu memungutnya, tetapi pada hari yang ketujuh ada sabat; maka roti itu tidak ada pada hari itu."
27 On the seventh day, some of the people went outside their tents to gather some of that food, but there was none.
Tetapi ketika pada hari ketujuh ada dari bangsa itu yang keluar memungutnya, tidaklah mereka mendapatnya.
28 Then Yahweh [told Moses/me to say this to] the people: “How long will you people refuse to do all the things that I tell you?
Sebab itu TUHAN berfirman kepada Musa: "Berapa lama lagi kamu menolak mengikuti segala perintah-Ku dan hukum-Ku?
29 Listen! Yahweh has given you a day of rest. So on the sixth day [of each week], he will be giving you enough of this food for two days. Each of you should stay in his tent [and do no work] on the seventh day!”
Perhatikanlah, TUHAN telah memberikan sabat itu kepadamu; itulah sebabnya pada hari keenam Ia memberikan kepadamu roti untuk dua hari. Tinggallah kamu di tempatmu masing-masing, seorangpun tidak boleh keluar dari tempatnya pada hari ketujuh itu."
30 So the people rested on the seventh day.
Lalu beristirahatlah bangsa itu pada hari ketujuh.
31 The Israeli people called this food manna, [which sounds like the words in their language that mean ‘what is it]?’ It looked like small seeds [called] coriander, but it was white, and it tasted like thin wafers/biscuits made with honey.
Umat Israel menyebutkan namanya: manna; warnanya putih seperti ketumbar dan rasanya seperti rasa kue madu.
32 Moses/I said, “This is what Yahweh has commanded: ‘You must keep two quarts/liters of it for all future generations, so that they can see the [food that took the place of] bread that I gave to your [ancestors] when I brought them out of Egypt.’”
Musa berkata: "Beginilah perintah TUHAN: Ambillah segomer penuh untuk disimpan turun-temurun, supaya keturunan mereka melihat roti yang Kuberi kamu makan di padang gurun, ketika Aku membawa kamu keluar dari tanah Mesir."
33 And he/I said to Aaron, “Take a jar, and put two quarts of manna in it. Then put it [in a place] where Yahweh can see it. It is to be kept like that for all future generations.”
Sebab itu Musa berkata kepada Harun: "Ambillah sebuah buli-buli, taruhlah manna di dalamnya segomer penuh, dan tempatkanlah itu di hadapan TUHAN untuk disimpan turun-temurun."
34 [Many years later], as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me, Aaron put the jar in front of the box [that contained the stone slabs on which] the Ten Commandments [were written].
Seperti yang diperintahkan TUHAN kepada Musa, demikianlah buli-buli itu ditempatkan Harun di hadapan tabut hukum Allah untuk disimpan.
35 The Israeli people were able to eat manna [every day] for 40 years, until they came to the border of Canaan land.
Orang Israel makan manna empat puluh tahun lamanya, sampai mereka tiba di tanah yang didiami orang; mereka makan manna sampai tiba di perbatasan tanah Kanaan.
36 (The standard measure [that they used at that time] held 20 quarts/liters.)
Adapun segomer ialah sepersepuluh efa.
