出エジプト記 16
1 斯てエリムを出たちてイスラエルの子孫の會衆そのエジプトの地を出しより二箇月の十五日に皆エリムとシナイの間なるシンの曠野にいたりけるが
On the fifteenth day of the second month after they had left the land of Egypt, the whole congregation of Israel set out from Elim and came to the Desert of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai.
2 其曠野においてイスラエルの全會衆モーセとアロンに向ひて呟けり
And there in the desert they all grumbled against Moses and Aaron.
3 即ちイスラエルの子孫かれらに言けるは我儕エジプトの地に於て肉の鍋の側に坐り飽までにパンを食ひし時にヱホバの手によりて死たらば善りし者を汝等はこの曠野に我等を導きいだしてこの全會を饑に死しめんとするなり
“If only we had died by the LORD’s hand in the land of Egypt!” they said. “There we sat by pots of meat and ate our fill of bread, but you have brought us into this desert to starve this whole assembly to death!”
4 時にヱホバ、モーセに言たまひけるは視よ我パンを汝らのために天より降さん民いでて日用の分を毎日斂むべし斯して我かれらが吾の法律にしたがふや否を試みん
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I will rain down bread from heaven for you. Each day the people are to go out and gather enough for that day. In this way I will test whether or not they will follow My instructions.
5 第六日には彼等その取いれたる者を調理ふべし其は日々に斂る者の二倍なるべし
Then on the sixth day, when they prepare what they bring in, it will be twice as much as they gather on the other days.”
6 モーセとアロン、イスラエルの全の子孫に言けるは夕にいたらば汝等はヱホバが汝らをエジプトの地より導きいだしたまひしなるを知にいたらん
So Moses and Aaron said to all the Israelites, “This evening you will know that it was the LORD who brought you out of the land of Egypt,
7 又朝にいたらば汝等ヱホバの榮光を見ん其はヱホバなんぢらがヱホバに向ひて呟くを聞たまへばなり我等を誰となして汝等は我儕に向ひて呟くや
and in the morning you will see the LORD’s glory, because He has heard your grumbling against Him. For who are we that you should grumble against us?”
8 モーセまた言けるはヱホバ夕には汝等に肉を與へて食はしめ朝にはパンをあたへて飽しめたまはん其はヱホバ己にむかひて汝等が呟くところの怨言を聞給へばなり我儕を誰と爲や汝等の怨言は我等にむかひてするに非ずヱホバにむかひてするなり
And Moses added, “The LORD will give you meat to eat this evening and bread to fill you in the morning, for He has heard your grumbling against Him. Who are we? Your grumblings are not against us but against the LORD.”
9 モーセ、アロンに言けるはイスラエルの子孫の全會衆に言へ汝等ヱホバの前に近よれヱホバなんぢらの怨言を聞給へりと
Then Moses said to Aaron, “Tell the whole congregation of Israel, ‘Come before the LORD, for He has heard your grumbling.’”
10 アロンすなはちイスラエルの子孫の全會衆に語しかば彼等曠野を望むにヱホバの榮光雲の中に顯はる
And as Aaron was speaking to the whole congregation of Israel, they looked toward the desert, and there in a cloud the glory of the LORD appeared.
11 ヱホバ、モーセに告て言たまひけるは
Then the LORD said to Moses,
12 我イスラエルの子孫の怨言を聞り彼等に告て言へ汝等夕には肉を食ひ朝にはパンに飽べし而して我のヱホバにして汝等の神なることを知にいたらんと
“I have heard the grumbling of the Israelites. Tell them, ‘At twilight you will eat meat, and in the morning you will be filled with bread. Then you will know that I am the LORD your God.’”
13 即ち夕におよびて鶉きたりて營を覆ふ又朝におよびて露營の四圍におきしが
That evening quail came and covered the camp, and in the morning there was a layer of dew around the camp.
14 そのおける露乾くにあたりて曠野の表に霜のごとき小き圓き者地にあり
When the layer of dew had evaporated, there were thin flakes on the desert floor, as fine as frost on the ground.
15 イスラエルの子孫これを見て此は何ぞやと互に言ふ其はその何たるを知ざればなりモーセかれらに言けるは是はヱホバが汝等の食にあたへたまふパンなり
When the Israelites saw it, they asked one another, “What is it?” For they did not know what it was. So Moses told them, “It is the bread that the LORD has given you to eat.
16 ヱホバの命じたまふところの事は是なり即ち各その食ふところに循ひて之を斂め汝等の人數にしたがひて一人に一オメルを取れ各人その天幕にをる者等のためにこれを取べし
This is what the LORD has commanded: ‘Each one is to gather as much as he needs. You may take an omer for each person in your tent.’”
17 イスラエルの子孫かくなせしに其斂るところに多きと少きとありしが
So the Israelites did this. Some gathered more, and some less.
18 オメルをもてこれむ量るに多く斂めし者にも餘るところ無く少く斂めし者にも足ぬところ無りき皆その食ふところに循ひてこれを斂めたり
When they measured it by the omer, he who gathered much had no excess, and he who gathered little had no shortfall. Each one gathered as much as he needed to eat.
19 モーセ彼等に誰も朝までこれを殘しおく可らずと言り
Then Moses said to them, “No one may keep any of it until morning.”
20 然るに彼等モーセに聽したがはずして或者はこれを朝まで殘したりしが蟲たかりて臭なりぬモーセこれを怒る
But they did not listen to Moses; some people left part of it until morning, and it became infested with maggots and began to smell. So Moses was angry with them.
21 人々各その食ふところに循ひて朝毎に之を斂めしが日熱なれば消ゆ
Every morning each one gathered as much as was needed, and when the sun grew hot, it melted away.
22 第六日にいたりて人々二倍のパンを斂めたり即ち一人に二オメルを斂むるに會衆の長皆きたりて之をモーセに告ぐモーセ
On the sixth day, they gathered twice as much food—two omers per person —and all the leaders of the congregation came and reported this to Moses.
23 かれらに言ふヱホバの言たまふところ是のごとし明日はヱホバの聖安息日にして休息なり今日汝等烤んとする者を烤き煮んとする者を煮よ其殘れる者は皆明朝まで蔵めおくべし
He told them, “This is what the LORD has said: ‘Tomorrow is to be a day of complete rest, a holy Sabbath to the LORD. So bake what you want to bake, and boil what you want to boil. Then set aside whatever remains and keep it until morning.’”
24 彼等モーセの命ぜしごとくに翌朝まで蔵めおきしが臭なること無く又蟲もその中に生ぜざりき
So they set it aside until morning as Moses had commanded, and it did not smell or contain any maggots.
25 モーセ言ふ汝等今日其を食へ今日はヱホバの安息日なれば今日は汝等これを野に獲ざるべし
“Eat it today,” Moses said, “because today is a Sabbath to the LORD. Today you will not find anything in the field.
26 六日の間汝等これを斂むべし第七日は安息日なればその日には有ざるべし
For six days you may gather, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, it will not be there.”
27 然るに民の中に七日に出て斂めんとせし者ありしが得ところ無りき
Yet on the seventh day some of the people went out to gather, but they did not find anything.
28 是に於てヱホバ、モーセに言たまひけるは何時まで汝等は吾が誡命とわが律法をまもることをせざるや
Then the LORD said to Moses, “How long will you refuse to keep My commandments and instructions?
29 汝等視よヱホバなんぢらに安息日を賜へり故に第六日に二日の食物を汝等にあたへたまふなり汝等おのおのその處に休みをれ第七日にはその處より出る者あるべからず
Understand that the LORD has given you the Sabbath; that is why on the sixth day He will give you bread for two days. On the seventh day, everyone must stay where he is; no one may leave his place.”
30 是民第七日に休息り
So the people rested on the seventh day.
31 イスラエルの家その物の名をマナと稱り是は莞の實のごとくにして白く其味は蜜をいれたる菓子のごとし
Now the house of Israel called the bread manna. It was white like coriander seed and tasted like wafers made with honey.
32 モーセ言ふヱホバの命じたまふところ是のごとし是を一オメル盛て汝等の代々の子孫のためにたくはへおくべし是はわが汝等をエジプトの地より導きいだせし時に曠野にて汝等を養ひしところのパンを之に見さしめんためなり
Moses said, “This is what the LORD has commanded: ‘Keep an omer of manna for the generations to come, so that they may see the bread I fed you in the wilderness when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.’”
33 而してモーセ、アロンに言けるは壷を取てその中にマナ一オメルを盛てこれをヱホバの前におき汝等の代々の子孫のためにたくはふべし
So Moses told Aaron, “Take a jar and fill it with an omer of manna. Then place it before the LORD to be preserved for the generations to come.”
34 ヱホバのモーセに命じたまひし如くにアロンこれを律法の前におきてたくはふ
And Aaron placed it in front of the Testimony, to be preserved just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
35 イスラエルの子孫は人の住る地に至るまで四十年が間マナを食へり即ちカナンの地の境にいたるまでマナを食へり
The Israelites ate manna forty years, until they came to a land where they could settle; they ate manna until they reached the border of Canaan.
36 オメルはエパの十分の一なり
(Now an omer is a tenth of an ephah.)
