Keluaran 16

1 Kemudian umat Israel meninggalkan Elim. Pada hari kelima belas bulan kedua, satu bulan sejak mereka keluar dari Mesir, tibalah mereka di padang belantara Sin yang terletak di antara Elim dan gunung Sinai.

And they went on their way from Elim, and all the children of Israel came into the waste land of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after they went out of the land of Egypt.

2 Di padang belantara itu, umat Israel bersungut-sungut terhadap Musa dan Harun.

And all the children of Israel were crying out against Moses and Aaron in the waste land:

3 Kata mereka, “Lebih baik kalau TUHAN membunuh kami ketika kami masih di Mesir, daripada kalian berdua membawa kami ke padang belantara ini dan membiarkan kami mati kelaparan! Setidaknya, di Mesir kami tidak pernah kekurangan roti dan daging!”

And the children of Israel said to them, It would have been better for the Lord to have put us to death in the land of Egypt, where we were seated by the flesh-pots and had bread enough for our needs; for you have taken us out to this waste of sand, to put all this people to death through need of food.

4 Maka TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, “Aku akan memberi kalian makanan dari surga seperti hujan turun dari langit. Setiap hari, umat itu harus keluar mengumpulkan makanan secukupnya untuk sehari. Aku hendak menguji apakah mereka mau menuruti perintah-Ku atau tidak.

Then the Lord said to Moses, See, I will send down bread from heaven for you; and the people will go out every day and get enough for the day's needs; so that I may put them to the test to see if they will keep my laws or not.

5 Pada hari yang keenam dalam tiap-tiap minggu, mereka akan memperoleh dua kali lebih banyak daripada biasanya.”

And on the sixth day they are to make ready what they get in, and it will be twice as much as they get on the other days.

6 Lalu Musa dan Harun berkata kepada seluruh umat Israel, “Nanti saat matahari terbenam, kamu semua akan tahu bahwa TUHANlah yang sudah membawa kita keluar dari Mesir.

And Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, This evening it will be clear to you that it is the Lord who has taken you out of the land of Egypt:

7 Besok pagi, kamu akan melihat kemuliaan TUHAN, karena Dia sudah mendengar keluhanmu terhadap-Nya. Sesungguhnya, terhadap Dialah kamu bersungut-sungut, bukan terhadap kami, karena kami hanya utusan-Nya!

And in the morning you will see the glory of the Lord; for your angry words against the Lord have come to his ears: and what are we that you are crying out against us?

8 TUHAN akan memberikan daging kepada setiap keluarga pada waktu sore, dan roti pada waktu pagi, sebab TUHAN sudah mendengar gerutuanmu terhadap-Nya. Siapakah kami ini?! Sebenarnya keluhanmu bukanlah terhadap kami, melainkan terhadap TUHAN.”

And Moses said, The Lord will give you meat for your food at evening, and in the morning bread in full measure; for your outcry against the Lord has come to his ears: for what are we? your outcry is not against us but against the Lord.

9 Kemudian Musa berkata kepada Harun, “Beritahukanlah kepada seluruh umat Israel: Datanglah kepada TUHAN, karena Dia sudah mendengar gerutuan kalian.”

And Moses said to Aaron, Say to all the people of Israel, Come near before the Lord for he has given ear to your outcry.

10 Sementara Harun berbicara kepada umat Israel, tiba-tiba dari arah padang belantara tampaklah kepada mereka kemuliaan TUHAN di dalam awan.

And while Aaron was talking to the children of Israel, their eyes were turned in the direction of the waste land, and they saw the glory of the Lord shining in the cloud.

11 TUHAN berbicara kepada Musa,

And the Lord said to Moses,

12 “Aku sudah mendengar keluhan umat Israel. Katakanlah kepada mereka, ‘Sewaktu matahari terbenam, kamu semua akan makan daging, dan pada waktu pagi kamu akan kenyang makan roti. Dengan demikian, kamu akan tahu bahwa Akulah TUHAN, Allahmu.’”

The outcry of the children of Israel has come to my ears: say to them now, At nightfall you will have meat for your food, and in the morning bread in full measure; and you will see that I am the Lord your God.

13 Sore itu juga, burung puyuh berdatangan begitu banyaknya hingga menutupi perkemahan mereka. Pada pagi harinya, turunlah embun di sekitar perkemahan.

And it came about that in the evening little birds came up and the place was covered with them: and in the morning there was dew all round about the tents.

14 Ketika embun itu sudah menguap, tampaklah di permukaan tanah sesuatu yang tipis seperti sisik dan halus seperti tetesan embun beku pada musim dingin.

And when the dew was gone, on the face of the earth was a small round thing, like small drops of ice on the earth.

15 Melihat itu, umat Israel bertanya-tanya satu sama lain, “Apa ini?” Karena mereka tidak mengetahui benda itu. Lalu kata Musa, “Inilah makanan yang TUHAN berikan kepada kita.

And when the children of Israel saw it, they said to one another, What is it? for they had no idea what it was. And Moses said to them, It is the bread which the Lord has given you for your food.

16 TUHAN memerintahkan agar kalian masing-masing mengumpulkan sebanyak yang dibutuhkan, yaitu dua liter untuk setiap anggota keluarga.”

This is what the Lord has said, Let every man take up as much as he has need of; at the rate of one omer for every person, let every man take as much as is needed for his family.

17 Maka umat Israel melakukannya. Ada yang mengumpulkan banyak, dan ada yang mengumpulkan sedikit.

And the children of Israel did so, and some took more and some less.

18 Walaupun begitu, ketika mereka menakarnya, ternyata yang mengumpulkan banyak tidak kelebihan, dan yang mengumpulkan sedikit tidak kekurangan. Masing-masing mengumpulkan sejumlah yang mereka perlukan.

And when it was measured, he who had taken up much had nothing over, and he who had little had enough; every man had taken what he was able to make use of.

19 Musa berkata kepada mereka, “Jangan sisakan sedikit pun untuk besok.”

And Moses said to them, Let nothing be kept till the morning.

20 Namun, beberapa di antara mereka tidak taat kepada Musa. Mereka menyisakan sebagian makanan itu sampai pagi. Ternyata sisa makanan itu menjadi berulat dan berbau busuk. Musa pun memarahi mereka.

But they gave no attention to Moses, and some of them kept it till the morning and there were worms in it and it had an evil smell: and Moses was angry with them.

21 Setiap pagi, orang Israel mengumpulkan makanan itu sebanyak yang mereka perlukan. Ketika matahari semakin panas, makanan itu mencair dan lenyap.

And they took it up morning by morning, every man as he had need: and when the sun was high it was gone.

22 Pada hari yang keenam, mereka mengumpulkan makanan itu seperti biasa, tetapi ketika pulang, mereka melihat bahwa makanan itu sudah menjadi dua kali lipat. Ternyata setiap orang mendapat enam liter. Para pemimpin menjadi bingung lalu datang kepada Musa untuk memberitahukannya.

And on the sixth day they took up twice as much of the bread, two omers for every person: and all the rulers of the people gave Moses word of it.

23 Jawab Musa, “Inilah perintah TUHAN: Besok adalah hari Sabat, hari yang dikhususkan bagi TUHAN sebagai hari untuk beristirahat. Masaklah sebanyak yang kamu inginkan, makanlah sebagian pada hari ini, dan simpanlah sebagian lainnya yang untuk dimakan besok.”

And he said, This is what the Lord has said, Tomorrow is a day of rest, a holy Sabbath to the Lord: what has to be cooked may be cooked; and what is over, put on one side to be kept till the morning.

24 Maka mereka menyimpan sisa makanan itu sesuai perintah Musa. Keesokan harinya, makanan yang mereka simpan itu tidak basi dan tidak berulat.

And they kept it till the morning as Moses had said: and no smell came from it, and it had no worms.

25 Kata Musa kepada mereka, “Makanlah makanan itu, karena hari ini adalah hari Sabat bagi TUHAN, yaitu hari peristirahatan untuk menghormati TUHAN. Hari ini kamu tidak akan menemukan makanan itu di padang.

And Moses said, Make your meal today of what you have, for this day is a Sabbath to the Lord: today you will not get any in the fields.

26 Selama enam hari kamu mengumpulkan makanan itu, tetapi hari yang ketujuh adalah Sabat. Makanan tidak akan turun pada hari itu.”

For six days you will get it, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, there will not be any.

27 Pada hari Sabat, beberapa orang keluar untuk mengumpulkan makanan, tetapi mereka tidak menemukan apa-apa.

But still on the seventh day some of the people went out to get it, and there was not any.

28 Lalu TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, “Sampai kapan mereka terus menolak untuk taat pada perintah-Ku dan ajaran-Ku?

And the Lord said to Moses, How long will you go against my orders and my laws?

29 Hendaklah mereka ingat bahwa Aku, TUHAN, sudah memberikan hari yang ketujuh bagi kalian untuk beristirahat. Oleh karena itu, pada hari yang keenam Aku memberikan makanan dua kali lipat supaya cukup untuk dua hari. Pada hari Sabat, hari yang ketujuh, diamlah di dalam kemahmu masing-masing dan jangan keluar.”

See, because the Lord has given you the Sabbath, he gives you on the sixth day bread enough for two days; let every man keep where he is; let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.

30 Demikianlah sejak hari itu umat Israel tidak bekerja pada hari Sabat.

So the people took their rest on the seventh day.

31 Umat Israel menamai makanan itu manna. Bentuknya seperti biji ketumbar, kecil, warnanya putih, dan rasanya seperti kue madu.

And this bread was named manna by Israel: it was white, like a grain seed, and its taste was like cakes made with honey.

32 Musa berkata, “Inilah perintah TUHAN, ‘Ambillah dua liter manna dan simpanlah itu, supaya setiap generasimu turun temurun dapat melihat makanan yang Aku berikan kepadamu di padang belantara, ketika Aku membawamu keluar dari Mesir.’”

And Moses said, This is the order which the Lord has given: Let one omer of it be kept for future generations, so that they may see the bread which I gave you for your food in the waste land, when I took you out from the land of Egypt.

33 Lagi kata Musa kepada Harun, “Ambillah sebuah kendi dan isilah dengan dua liter manna, lalu taruhlah kendi itu di hadapan TUHAN untuk disimpan turun temurun.”

And Moses said to Aaron, Take a pot and put one omer of manna in it, and put it away before the Lord, to be kept for future generations.

34 Harun melakukan sesuai perintah TUHAN kepada Musa dan menyimpan kendi itu di depan peti perjanjian.

So Aaron put it away in front of the holy chest to be kept, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

35 Orang Israel makan manna selama empat puluh tahun sampai mereka tiba di Kanaan.

And the children of Israel had manna for their food for forty years, till they came to a land with people in it, till they came to the edge of the land of Canaan.

36 Pada zaman itu, takaran manna yang orang Yahudi gunakan disebut gomer. Satu gomer sama dengan sepersepuluh efa.

Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
