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.
Bütün İsrail topluluğu Elim'den ayrıldı. Mısır'dan çıktıktan sonra ikinci ayın on beşinci günü Elim ile Sina arasındaki Sin Çölü'ne vardılar.
2 There in the desert, the Israeli [HYP] people complained to Aaron and Moses/me.
Çölde hepsi Musa'yla Harun'a yakınmaya başladı.
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!”
“Keşke RAB bizi Mısır'dayken öldürseydi” dediler, “Hiç değilse orada et kazanlarının başına oturur, doyasıya yerdik. Ama siz bütün topluluğu açlıktan öldürmek için bizi bu çöle getirdiniz.”
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.
RAB Musa'ya, “Size gökten ekmek yağdıracağım” dedi, “Halk her gün gidip günlük ekmeğini toplayacak. Böylece onları sınayacağım: Benim yasama göre yaşıyorlar mı, yaşamıyorlar mı, göreceğim.
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].”
Altıncı gün her gün topladıklarının iki katını toplayıp hazırlayacaklar.”
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.
Musa'yla Harun İsrailliler'e, “Bu akşam sizi Mısır'dan RAB'bin çıkardığını bileceksiniz” dediler,
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]
“Sabah da RAB'bin görkemini göreceksiniz. Çünkü RAB kendisine söylendiğinizi duydu. Biz kimiz ki, bize söyleniyorsunuz?”
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]
Sonra Musa, “Akşam size yemek için et, sabah da dilediğiniz kadar ekmek verilince, RAB'bin görkemini göreceksiniz” dedi, “Çünkü RAB kendisine söylendiğinizi duydu. Biz kimiz ki? Siz bize değil, RAB'be söyleniyorsunuz.”
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.’”
Musa Harun'a, “Bütün İsrail topluluğuna söyle, RAB'bin huzuruna gelsinler” dedi, “Çünkü RAB söylendiklerini duydu.”
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].
Harun İsrail topluluğuna bunları anlatırken, çöle doğru baktılar. RAB'bin görkemi bulutta görünüyordu.
11 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
RAB Musa'ya şöyle dedi:
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].”
“İsrailliler'in yakınmalarını duydum. Onlara de ki, ‘Akşamüstü et yiyeceksiniz, sabah da ekmekle karnınızı doyuracaksınız. O zaman bileceksiniz ki, Tanrınız RAB benim.’”
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.
Akşam bıldırcınlar geldi, ordugahı sardı. Sabah ordugahın çevresini çiy kaplamıştı.
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.
Çiy eriyince, toprakta, çölün yüzeyinde kırağıya benzer ince pulcuklar göründü.
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.
Bunu görünce İsrailliler birbirlerine, “Bu da ne?” diye sordular. Çünkü ne olduğunu anlayamamışlardı. Musa, “RAB'bin size yemek için verdiği ekmektir bu” dedi,
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.’”
“RAB'bin buyruğu şudur: ‘Herkes yiyeceği kadar toplasın. Çadırınızdaki her kişi için birer omer alın.’”
17 So that is what the Israeli people did. Some gathered more and some gathered less.
İsrailliler söyleneni yaptılar. Kimi çok, kimi az topladı.
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.
Omerle ölçtüklerinde, çok toplayanın fazlası, az toplayanın da eksiği yoktu. Herkes yiyeceği kadar toplamıştı.
19 Moses/I said to them, “Do not leave any of it to eat tomorrow morning!”
Musa onlara, “Kimse sabaha bir parça bile bırakmasın” dedi.
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.
Ama bazıları ona aldırmayıp sabaha bıraktılar. Bıraktıkları kurtlanıp kokmaya başlayınca Musa onlara öfkelendi.
21 Each morning they gathered as much as they needed. But [later], when the sun got hot, [what was left on the ground] melted.
Her sabah herkes yiyeceği kadar topluyordu. Güneş ortalığı ısıtınca, yerde kalanlar eriyordu.
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],
Altıncı gün kişi başına iki omer, yani iki kat topladılar. Topluluğun önderleri gelip durumu Musa'ya bildirdiler.
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.’”
Musa, “RAB'bin buyruğu şudur” dedi, “‘Yarın dinlenme günü, RAB için kutsal Şabat Günü'dür. Pişireceğinizi pişirin, haşlayacağınızı haşlayın. Artakalanı bir kenara koyun, sabaha kalsın.’”
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!
Musa'nın buyurduğu gibi artakalanı sabaha bıraktılar. Ne koktu, ne kurtlandı.
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.
Musa, “Artakalanı bugün yiyin” dedi, “Çünkü bugün RAB için Şabat Günü'dür. Bugün dışarda ekmek bulamayacaksınız.
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.”
Altı gün ekmek toplayacaksınız, ama yedinci gün olan Şabat Günü ekmek bulunmayacak.”
27 On the seventh day, some of the people went outside their tents to gather some of that food, but there was none.
Yedinci gün bazıları ekmek toplamak için dışarı çıktı, ama hiçbir şey bulamadılar.
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?
RAB Musa'ya, “Ne zamana dek buyruklarıma ve yasalarıma uymayı reddedeceksiniz?” dedi,
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!”
“Size Şabat Günü'nü verdim. Bunun için altıncı gün size iki günlük ekmek veriyorum. Yedinci gün herkes neredeyse orada kalsın, dışarı çıkmasın.”
30 So the people rested on the seventh day.
Böylece halk yedinci gün dinlendi.
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.
İsrailliler o ekmeğe man adını verdiler. Kişniş tohumu gibi beyazımsı, tadı ballı yufka gibiydi.
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, “RAB'bin buyruğu şudur” dedi, “‘Mısır'dan sizi çıkardığımda, gelecek kuşakların çölde size yedirdiğim ekmeği görmesi için, bir omer saklansın.’”
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.”
Musa Harun'a, “Bir testi al, içine bir omer man doldur” dedi, “Gelecek kuşaklar için saklanmak üzere onu RAB'bin huzuruna koy.”
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].
RAB'bin Musa'ya buyurduğu gibi Harun manı saklanmak üzere Antlaşma Levhaları'nın önüne koydu.
35 The Israeli people were able to eat manna [every day] for 40 years, until they came to the border of Canaan land.
İsrailliler yerleştikleri Kenan topraklarına varıncaya dek kırk yıl man yediler.
36 (The standard measure [that they used at that time] held 20 quarts/liters.)
–Bir omer efanın onda biridir.–
