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.

The people journeyed on from Elim, and all the community of Israelites came to the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departure from the land of Egypt.

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

The whole community of Israelites complained against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness.

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!”

The Israelites said to them, “If only we had died by Yahweh's hand in the land of Egypt when we were sitting by the pots of meat and were eating bread to the full. For you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill our whole community with hunger.”

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 Yahweh said to Moses, “I will rain down bread from heaven for you. The people will go out and gather a day's portion every day so that I may test them to see whether or not they will walk in my law.

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

It will come about on the sixth day, that they will gather twice as much as what they gathered every day before, and they will cook what they bring in.”

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.

Then Moses and Aaron said to all the people of Israel, “In the evening you will know that it is Yahweh who has brought you out from 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!

In the morning you will see Yahweh's glory, for he hears your complaining against him. Who are we for you to complain 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.”

Moses also said, “You will know this when Yahweh gives you meat in the evening and bread in the morning to the full—for he has heard the complaints that you speak against him. Who are Aaron and I? Your complaints are not against us; they are against Yahweh.”

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

Moses said to Aaron, “Say to all the community of the people of Israel, 'Come near before Yahweh, for he has heard your complaints.'”

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

It came about, as Aaron spoke to the whole community of the people of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, Yahweh's glory appeared in the cloud.

11 TUHAN berbicara kepada Musa,

Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

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.’”

“I have heard the complaints of the people of Israel. Speak to them and say, 'In the evening you will eat meat, and in the morning you will be filled with bread. Then you will know that I am Yahweh your God.'”

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

It came about in the evening that quails came up and covered the camp. In the morning the dew lay round about the camp.

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

When the dew was gone, there on the surface of the wilderness were thin flakes like frost on the ground.

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.

When the people of Israel saw it, they said one to another, “What is it?” They did not know what it was. Moses said to them, “It is the bread that Yahweh has given you to eat.

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

This is the command that Yahweh has given: 'You must gather, each one of you, the amount you need to eat, an omer for each person of the number of your people. This is how you will gather it: Gather enough to eat for every person who lives in your tent.'”

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

The people of Israel did so. Some gathered more, some gathered 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.

When they measured it with an omer measure, those who had gathered much had nothing left over, and those who had gathered little had no lack. Each person gathered enough to meet their need.

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

Then Moses said to them, “No one must leave any of it until 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.

However, they did not listen to Moses. Some of them left some of it until morning, but it bred worms and became foul. Then Moses became angry with them.

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

They gathered it morning by morning. Each person gathered enough to eat for that day. When the sun became hot, it melted.

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.

It came about that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each person. All the leaders of the community came and told this to Moses.

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.”

He said to them, “This is what Yahweh has said: 'Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy Sabbath in Yahweh's honor. Bake what you want to bake, and boil what you want to boil. All that remains over, set it aside for yourselves until morning.'”

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

So they set it aside until morning, as Moses had instructed. It did not become foul, nor was there any worm in it.

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.

Moses said, “Eat that food today, for today is a day reserved as a Sabbath to honor Yahweh. Today you will not find it in the fields.

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

You will gather it during six days, but the seventh day is the Sabbath. On the Sabbath there will be no manna.”

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

It came about on the seventh day that some of the people went out to gather manna, but they found none.

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

Then Yahweh said to Moses, “How long will you refuse to keep my commandments 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, Yahweh has given you the Sabbath. So on the sixth day he is giving you bread for two days. Each of you must stay in his own place; no one must go out from his place on the seventh day.”

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

So the people rested on the seventh day.

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

The people of Israel called that food “manna.” It was white like coriander seed, and its taste was like wafers 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.’”

Moses said, “This is what Yahweh has commanded: 'Let an omer of manna be kept throughout your people's generations so that your descendants might see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, after I brought 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.”

Moses said to Aaron, “Take a pot and put an omer of manna into it. Preserve it before Yahweh to be kept throughout the people's generations.”

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

As Yahweh commanded Moses, Aaron stored it beside the covenant decrees in the ark.

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

The people of Israel ate manna forty years until they came to inhabited land. They ate it until they came to the borders 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 a tenth of an ephah.
