< 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.
Profectique sunt de Elim, et venit omnis multitudo filiorum Israel in desertum Sin, quod est inter Elim et Sinai: quintodecimo die mensis secundi, postquam egressi sunt de terra Ægypti.
2 And all the company of the sons of Israel murmur against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness;
Et murmuravit omnis congregatio filiorum Israel contra Moysen et Aaron in solitudine.
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.'
Dixeruntque filii Israel ad eos: Utinam mortui essemus per manum Domini in Terra Ægypti, quando sedebamus super ollas carnium, et comedebamus panem in saturitate: cur eduxistis nos in desertum istud, ut occideretis omnem multitudinem fame?
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;
Dixit autem Dominus ad Moysen: Ecce, ego pluam vobis panes de cælo: egrediatur populus, et colligat quæ sufficiunt per singulos dies: ut tentem eum utrum ambulet in lege mea, an non.
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.'
Die autem sexto parent quod inferant: et sit duplum quam colligere solebant per singulos dies.
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;
Dixeruntque Moyses et Aaron ad omnes filios Israel: Vespere scietis quod Dominus eduxerit vos de terra Ægypti:
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?'
et mane videbitis gloriam Domini: audivit enim murmur vestrum contra Dominum: nos vero quid sumus, quia mussitastis contra nos?
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.'
Et ait Moyses: Dabit vobis Dominus vespere carnes edere, et mane panes in saturitate: eo quod audierit murmurationes vestras quibus murmurati estis contra eum, nos enim quid sumus? nec contra nos est murmur vestrum, sed contra Dominum.
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;'
Dixit quoque Moyses ad Aaron: Dic universæ congregationi filiorum Israel: Accedite coram Domino: audivit enim murmur vestrum.
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.
Cumque loqueretur Aaron ad omnem cœtum filiorum Israel, respexerunt ad solitudinem: et ecce gloria Domini apparuit in nube.
11 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
Locutus est autem Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
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.'
Audivi murmurationes filiorum Israel, loquere ad eos: Vespere comedetis carnes, et mane saturabimini panibus: scietisque quod ego sum Dominus Deus vester.
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,
Factum est ergo vespere, et ascendens coturnix, cooperuit castra: mane quoque ros iacuit per circuitum castrorum.
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.
Cumque operuisset superficiem terræ, apparuit in solitudine minutum, et quasi pilo tusum in similitudinem pruinæ super terram.
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.
Quod cum vidissent filii Israel, dixerunt ad invicem: Manhu? quod significat: Quid est hoc? ignorabant enim quid esset. Quibus ait Moyses: Iste est panis, quem Dominus dedit vobis ad vescendum.
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.'
Hic est sermo, quem præcepit Dominus: Colligat unusquisque ex eo quantum sufficit ad vescendum: gomor per singula capita, iuxta numerum animarum vestrarum quæ habitant in tabernaculo sic tolletis.
17 And the sons of Israel do so, and they gather, he who is [gathering] much, and he who is [gathering] little;
Feceruntque ita filii Israel: et collegerunt, alius plus, alius minus.
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.
Et mensi sunt ad mensuram gomor: nec qui plus collegerat, habuit amplius: nec qui minus paraverat, reperit minus: sed singuli iuxta id quod edere poterant, congregaverunt.
19 And Moses saith unto them, 'Let no man leave of it till morning;'
Dixitque Moyses ad eos: Nullus relinquat ex eo in mane.
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.
Qui non audierunt eum, sed dimiserunt quidam ex eis usque mane, et scatere cœpit vermibus, atque computruit. et iratus est contra eos Moyses.
21 And they gather it morning by morning, each according to his eating; when the sun hath been warm, then it hath melted.
Colligebant autem mane singuli, quantum sufficere poterat ad vescendum: cumque incaluisset sol, liquefiebat.
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.
In die autem sexta collegerunt cibos duplices, id est, duo gomor per singulos homines: venerunt autem omnes principes multitudinis, et narraverunt Moysi.
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.'
Qui ait eis: Hoc est quod locutus est Dominus: Requies sabbati sanctificata est Domino cras. quodcumque operandum est, facite: et quæ coquenda sunt coquite: quidquid autem reliquum fuerit, reponite usque in mane.
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.
Feceruntque ita ut præceperat Moyses, et non computruit, neque vermis inventus est in eo.
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:
Dixitque Moyses: Comedite illud hodie, quia sabbatum est Domini: non invenietur hodie in agro.
26 six days ye do gather it, and in the seventh day — the sabbath — in it there is none.'
Sex diebus colligite: in die autem septimo sabbatum est Domini, idcirco non invenietur.
27 And it cometh to pass on the seventh day, some of the people have gone out to gather, and have not found.
Venitque septima dies: et egressi de populo ut colligerent, non invenerunt.
28 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'How long have ye refused to keep My commands, and My laws?
Dixit autem Dominus ad Moysen: Usquequo non vultis custodire mandata mea, et legem meam?
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.'
Videte quod Dominus dederit vobis sabbatum, et propter hoc die sexta tribuit vobis cibos duplices: maneat unusquisque apud semetipsum: nullus egrediatur de loco suo die septimo.
30 And the people rest on the seventh day,
Et sabbatizavit populus die septimo.
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.
Appellavitque domus Israel nomen eius Man: quod erat quasi semen coriandri album, gustusque eius quasi similæ cum melle.
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.'
Dixit autem Moyses: Iste est sermo, quem præcepit Dominus: Imple gomor ex eo, et custodiatur in futuras retro generationes: ut noverint panem, quo alui vos in solitudine, quando educti estis de Terra Ægypti.
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;'
Dixitque Moyses ad Aaron: Sume vas unum, et mitte ibi Man, quantum potest capere gomor: et repone coram Domino ad servandum in generationes vestras:
34 as Jehovah hath given commandment unto Moses, so doth Aaron let it rest before the Testimony, for a charge.
sicut præcepit Dominus Moysi. Posuitque illud Aaron in tabernaculo reservandum.
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.
Filii autem Israel comederunt Man quadraginta annis, donec venirent in terram habitabilem: hoc cibo aliti sunt, usquequo tangerent fines terræ Chanaan.
36 and the omer is a tenth of the ephah.
Gomor autem decima pars est ephi.
