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.
斯てエリムを出たちてイスラエルの子孫の會衆そのエジプトの地を出しより二箇月の十五日に皆エリムとシナイの間なるシンの曠野にいたりけるが
2 There in the desert, the Israeli [HYP] people complained to Aaron and Moses/me.
其曠野においてイスラエルの全會衆モーセとアロンに向ひて呟けり
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!”
即ちイスラエルの子孫かれらに言けるは我儕エジプトの地に於て肉の鍋の側に坐り飽までにパンを食ひし時にヱホバの手によりて死たらば善りし者を汝等はこの曠野に我等を導きいだしてこの全會を饑に死しめんとするなり
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.
時にヱホバ、モーセに言たまひけるは視よ我パンを汝らのために天より降さん民いでて日用の分を毎日斂むべし斯して我かれらが吾の法律にしたがふや否を試みん
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].”
第六日には彼等その取いれたる者を調理ふべし其は日々に斂る者の二倍なるべし
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.
モーセとアロン、イスラエルの全の子孫に言けるは夕にいたらば汝等はヱホバが汝らをエジプトの地より導きいだしたまひしなるを知にいたらん
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]
又朝にいたらば汝等ヱホバの榮光を見ん其はヱホバなんぢらがヱホバに向ひて呟くを聞たまへばなり我等を誰となして汝等は我儕に向ひて呟くや
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]
モーセまた言けるはヱホバ夕には汝等に肉を與へて食はしめ朝にはパンをあたへて飽しめたまはん其はヱホバ己にむかひて汝等が呟くところの怨言を聞給へばなり我儕を誰と爲や汝等の怨言は我等にむかひてするに非ずヱホバにむかひてするなり
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.’”
モーセ、アロンに言けるはイスラエルの子孫の全會衆に言へ汝等ヱホバの前に近よれヱホバなんぢらの怨言を聞給へりと
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].
アロンすなはちイスラエルの子孫の全會衆に語しかば彼等曠野を望むにヱホバの榮光雲の中に顯はる
11 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
ヱホバ、モーセに告て言たまひけるは
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].”
我イスラエルの子孫の怨言を聞り彼等に告て言へ汝等夕には肉を食ひ朝にはパンに飽べし而して我のヱホバにして汝等の神なることを知にいたらんと
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.
即ち夕におよびて鶉きたりて營を覆ふ又朝におよびて露營の四圍におきしが
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.
そのおける露乾くにあたりて曠野の表に霜のごとき小き圓き者地にあり
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.
イスラエルの子孫これを見て此は何ぞやと互に言ふ其はその何たるを知ざればなりモーセかれらに言けるは是はヱホバが汝等の食にあたへたまふパンなり
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.’”
ヱホバの命じたまふところの事は是なり即ち各その食ふところに循ひて之を斂め汝等の人數にしたがひて一人に一オメルを取れ各人その天幕にをる者等のためにこれを取べし
17 So that is what the Israeli people did. Some gathered more and some gathered less.
イスラエルの子孫かくなせしに其斂るところに多きと少きとありしが
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.
オメルをもてこれむ量るに多く斂めし者にも餘るところ無く少く斂めし者にも足ぬところ無りき皆その食ふところに循ひてこれを斂めたり
19 Moses/I said to them, “Do not leave any of it to eat tomorrow morning!”
モーセ彼等に誰も朝までこれを殘しおく可らずと言り
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.
然るに彼等モーセに聽したがはずして或者はこれを朝まで殘したりしが蟲たかりて臭なりぬモーセこれを怒る
21 Each morning they gathered as much as they needed. But [later], when the sun got hot, [what was left on the ground] melted.
人々各その食ふところに循ひて朝毎に之を斂めしが日熱なれば消ゆ
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],
第六日にいたりて人々二倍のパンを斂めたり即ち一人に二オメルを斂むるに會衆の長皆きたりて之をモーセに告ぐモーセ
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.’”
かれらに言ふヱホバの言たまふところ是のごとし明日はヱホバの聖安息日にして休息なり今日汝等烤んとする者を烤き煮んとする者を煮よ其殘れる者は皆明朝まで蔵めおくべし
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!
彼等モーセの命ぜしごとくに翌朝まで蔵めおきしが臭なること無く又蟲もその中に生ぜざりき
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.
モーセ言ふ汝等今日其を食へ今日はヱホバの安息日なれば今日は汝等これを野に獲ざるべし
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.”
六日の間汝等これを斂むべし第七日は安息日なればその日には有ざるべし
27 On the seventh day, some of the people went outside their tents to gather some of that food, but there was none.
然るに民の中に七日に出て斂めんとせし者ありしが得ところ無りき
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?
是に於てヱホバ、モーセに言たまひけるは何時まで汝等は吾が誡命とわが律法をまもることをせざるや
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!”
汝等視よヱホバなんぢらに安息日を賜へり故に第六日に二日の食物を汝等にあたへたまふなり汝等おのおのその處に休みをれ第七日にはその處より出る者あるべからず
30 So the people rested on the seventh day.
是民第七日に休息り
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.
イスラエルの家その物の名をマナと稱り是は莞の實のごとくにして白く其味は蜜をいれたる菓子のごとし
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.’”
モーセ言ふヱホバの命じたまふところ是のごとし是を一オメル盛て汝等の代々の子孫のためにたくはへおくべし是はわが汝等をエジプトの地より導きいだせし時に曠野にて汝等を養ひしところのパンを之に見さしめんためなり
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.”
而してモーセ、アロンに言けるは壷を取てその中にマナ一オメルを盛てこれをヱホバの前におき汝等の代々の子孫のためにたくはふべし
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].
ヱホバのモーセに命じたまひし如くにアロンこれを律法の前におきてたくはふ
35 The Israeli people were able to eat manna [every day] for 40 years, until they came to the border of Canaan land.
イスラエルの子孫は人の住る地に至るまで四十年が間マナを食へり即ちカナンの地の境にいたるまでマナを食へり
36 (The standard measure [that they used at that time] held 20 quarts/liters.)
オメルはエパの十分の一なり
