Exodus 16
1 And they journey from Elim, and all the company of the sons of Israel come in unto the wilderness of Sin, which [is] between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month of their going out from the land of Egypt.
以色列全会众从以琳起行，在出埃及后第二个月十五日到了以琳和西奈中间、汛的旷野。
2 And all the company of the sons of Israel murmur against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness;
以色列全会众在旷野向摩西、亚伦发怨言，
3 and the sons of Israel say unto them, 'Oh that we had died by the hand of Jehovah in the land of Egypt, in our sitting by the flesh-pot, in our eating bread to satiety — for ye have brought us out unto this wilderness to put all this assembly to death with hunger.'
说：“巴不得我们早死在埃及地、耶和华的手下；那时我们坐在肉锅旁边，吃得饱足。你们将我们领出来，到这旷野，是要叫这全会众都饿死啊！”
4 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Lo, I am raining to you bread from the heavens — and the people have gone out and gathered the matter of a day in its day — so that I try them whether they walk in My law, or not;
耶和华对摩西说：“我要将粮食从天降给你们。百姓可以出去，每天收每天的分，我好试验他们遵不遵我的法度。
5 and it hath been on the sixth day, that they have prepared that which they bring in, and it hath been double above that which they gather day [by] day.'
到第六天，他们要把所收进来的预备好了，比每天所收的多一倍。”
6 And Moses saith — Aaron also — unto all the sons of Israel, 'Evening — and ye have known that Jehovah hath brought you out from the land of Egypt;
摩西、亚伦对以色列众人说：“到了晚上，你们要知道是耶和华将你们从埃及地领出来的。
7 and morning — and ye have seen the honour of Jehovah, in His hearing your murmurings against Jehovah, and what [are] we, that ye murmur against us?'
早晨，你们要看见耶和华的荣耀，因为耶和华听见你们向他所发的怨言了。我们算什么，你们竟向我们发怨言呢？”
8 And Moses saith, 'In Jehovah's giving to you in the evening flesh to eat, and bread in the morning to satiety — in Jehovah's hearing your murmurings, which ye are murmuring against Him, and what [are] we? your murmurings [are] not against us, but against Jehovah.'
摩西又说：“耶和华晚上必给你们肉吃，早晨必给你们食物得饱；因为你们向耶和华发的怨言，他都听见了。我们算什么，你们的怨言不是向我们发的，乃是向耶和华发的。”
9 And Moses saith unto Aaron, 'Say unto all the company of the sons of Israel, Come ye near before Jehovah, for He hath heard your murmurings;'
摩西对亚伦说：“你告诉以色列全会众说：‘你们就近耶和华面前，因为他已经听见你们的怨言了。’”
10 and it cometh to pass, when Aaron is speaking unto all the company of the sons of Israel, that they turn towards the wilderness, and lo, the honour of Jehovah is seen in the cloud.
亚伦正对以色列全会众说话的时候，他们向旷野观看，不料，耶和华的荣光在云中显现。
11 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
耶和华晓谕摩西说：
12 'I have heard the murmurings of the sons of Israel; speak unto them, saying, Between the evenings ye eat flesh, and in the morning ye are satisfied [with] bread, and ye have known that I [am] Jehovah your God.'
“我已经听见以色列人的怨言。你告诉他们说：‘到黄昏的时候，你们要吃肉，早晨必有食物得饱，你们就知道我是耶和华—你们的 神。’”
13 And it cometh to pass in the evening, that the quail cometh up, and covereth the camp, and in the morning there hath been the lying of dew round about the camp,
到了晚上，有鹌鹑飞来，遮满了营；早晨在营四围的地上有露水。
14 and the lying of the dew goeth up, and lo, on the face of the wilderness a thin, bare thing, thin as hoar-frost on the earth.
露水上升之后，不料，野地面上有如白霜的小圆物。
15 And the sons of Israel see, and say one unto another, 'What [is] it?' for they have not known what it [is]; and Moses saith unto them, 'It [is] the bread which Jehovah hath given to you for food.
以色列人看见，不知道是什么，就彼此对问说：“这是什么呢？”摩西对他们说：“这就是耶和华给你们吃的食物。
16 'This [is] the thing which Jehovah hath commanded: Gather of it each according to his eating, an omer for a poll; and the number of your persons, take ye each for those in his tent.'
耶和华所吩咐的是这样：你们要按着各人的饭量，为帐棚里的人，按着人数收起来，各拿一俄梅珥。”
17 And the sons of Israel do so, and they gather, he who is [gathering] much, and he who is [gathering] little;
以色列人就这样行；有多收的，有少收的。
18 and they measure with an omer, and he who is [gathering] much hath nothing over, and he who is [gathering] little hath no lack, each according to his eating they have gathered.
及至用俄梅珥量一量，多收的也没有余，少收的也没有缺；各人按着自己的饭量收取。
19 And Moses saith unto them, 'Let no man leave of it till morning;'
摩西对他们说：“所收的，不许什么人留到早晨。”
20 and they have not hearkened unto Moses, and some of them do leave of it till morning, and it bringeth up worms and stinketh; and Moses is wroth with them.
然而他们不听摩西的话，内中有留到早晨的，就生虫变臭了；摩西便向他们发怒。
21 And they gather it morning by morning, each according to his eating; when the sun hath been warm, then it hath melted.
他们每日早晨，按着各人的饭量收取，日头一发热，就消化了。
22 And it cometh to pass on the sixth day, they have gathered a second bread, two omers for one, and all the princes of the company come in, and declare to Moses.
到第六天，他们收了双倍的食物，每人两俄梅珥。会众的官长来告诉摩西；
23 And he saith unto them, 'It [is] that which Jehovah hath spoken [of]; a rest — a holy sabbath to Jehovah — [is] to-morrow; that which ye bake, bake; and that which ye boil, boil; and all that is over, let rest for yourselves in charge till the morning.'
摩西对他们说：“耶和华这样说：‘明天是圣安息日，是向耶和华守的圣安息日。你们要烤的就烤了，要煮的就煮了，所剩下的都留到早晨。’”
24 And they let it rest until the morning, as Moses hath commanded, and it hath not stank, and a worm hath not been in it.
他们就照摩西的吩咐留到早晨，也不臭，里头也没有虫子。
25 And Moses saith, 'Eat it to-day, for to-day [is] a sabbath to Jehovah; to-day ye find it not in the field:
摩西说：“你们今天吃这个吧！因为今天是向耶和华守的安息日；你们在田野必找不着了。
26 six days ye do gather it, and in the seventh day — the sabbath — in it there is none.'
六天可以收取，第七天乃是安息日，那一天必没有了。”
27 And it cometh to pass on the seventh day, some of the people have gone out to gather, and have not found.
第七天，百姓中有人出去收，什么也找不着。
28 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'How long have ye refused to keep My commands, and My laws?
耶和华对摩西说：“你们不肯守我的诫命和律法，要到几时呢？
29 see, because Jehovah hath given to you the sabbath, therefore He is giving to you on the sixth day bread of two days; abide ye each [in] his place, no one doth go out from his place on the seventh day.'
你们看！耶和华既将安息日赐给你们，所以第六天他赐给你们两天的食物，第七天各人要住在自己的地方，不许什么人出去。”
30 And the people rest on the seventh day,
于是百姓第七天安息了。
31 and the house of Israel call its name Manna, and it [is] as coriander seed, white; and its taste [is] as a cake with honey.
这食物，以色列家叫吗哪；样子像芫荽子，颜色是白的，滋味如同搀蜜的薄饼。
32 And Moses saith, 'This [is] the thing which Jehovah hath commanded: Fill the omer with it, for a charge for your generations, so that they see the bread which I have caused you to eat in the wilderness, in My bringing you out from the land of Egypt.'
摩西说：“耶和华所吩咐的是这样：‘要将一满俄梅珥吗哪留到世世代代，使后人可以看见我当日将你们领出埃及地，在旷野所给你们吃的食物。’”
33 And Moses saith unto Aaron, 'Take one pot, and put there the fulness of the omer of manna, and let it rest before Jehovah, for a charge for your generations;'
摩西对亚伦说：“你拿一个罐子，盛一满俄梅珥吗哪，存在耶和华面前，要留到世世代代。”
34 as Jehovah hath given commandment unto Moses, so doth Aaron let it rest before the Testimony, for a charge.
耶和华怎么吩咐摩西，亚伦就怎么行，把吗哪放在法柜前存留。
35 And the sons of Israel have eaten the manna forty years, until their coming in unto the land to be inhabited; the manna they have eaten till their coming in unto the extremity of the land of Canaan.
以色列人吃吗哪共四十年，直到进了有人居住之地，就是迦南的境界。（
36 and the omer is a tenth of the ephah.
俄梅珥就是伊法十分之一。）
