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
And they set out from Elim. And the entire multitude of the sons of Israel arrived at the desert of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month, after they departed from the land of Egypt.
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 the entire congregation of the sons of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness.
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
And the sons of Israel said to them: “If only we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat around bowls of meat and ate bread until filled. Why have you led us away, into this desert, so that you might kill the entire multitude with famine?”
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. Let the people go out and collect what is sufficient for each day, so that I may test them, as to whether or not they will walk in my law.
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
But on the sixth day, let them prepare what they use for carrying, and let there be double what they were accustomed to collect on a single day.”
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
And Moses and Aaron said to the sons of Israel: “In the evening, you will know that the Lord has led you away from 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 glory of the Lord. For he has heard your murmuring against the Lord. But as for us, truly what are we, that you would whisper 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 said: “In the evening, the Lord will give you flesh to eat, and in the morning, bread in fullness. For he has heard your murmurings that you have murmured against him. For what are we? Your murmuring is 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
Moses also said to Aaron: “Say to the whole congregation of the sons of Israel, ‘Approach before the Lord. For he has heard your murmuring.’”
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 when Aaron spoke to the entire assembly of the sons of Israel, they looked out toward the wilderness. And behold, the glory of the Lord appeared in a cloud.
11 ヱホバ、モーセに告て言たまひけるは
Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
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 murmuring of the sons of Israel. Say to them: ‘In the evening, you will eat flesh, and in the morning, you will be filled with bread. And you shall 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
Therefore, it happened in the evening: quails, rising up, covered the camp. Likewise, in the morning, a dew lay all 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
And when it had covered the face of the earth, it appeared, in the wilderness, small and as if crushed with a pestle, similar to hoar-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 sons of Israel had seen it, they said one to another: “Manhu?” which means “What is this?” For they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them: “This 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 the word that the Lord has instructed. Let each one collect as much of it as is sufficient to eat. One omer for each head. According to the number of your souls which live in a tent, so will you take of it.”
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
And the sons of Israel did so. And they collected: some more, others 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
And they measured by the measure of an omer. He who collected more, did not have too much; nor did he who prepared less, find too little. But each one gathered according to what they were able 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
And Moses said to them, “Let no one leave any of it behind 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
And they did not listen to him, but they left some of it behind until morning, and it began to swarm with worms, and it putrefied. And Moses became angry against 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
Then each one collected, in the morning, as much as would be sufficient to eat. And after the sun became hot, it melted.
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
But on the sixth day, they collected a double portion, that is, two omers for each man. Then all the leaders among the multitude came, and they discoursed with 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
And he said to them: “This is what the Lord has spoken: Tomorrow, the rest day of the Sabbath, has been sanctified to the Lord. Whatever would be done, do it now. And whatever would be cooked, cook it now. Then anything that will have been left over, store 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
And they did just as Moses had instructed, and it did not putrefy, nor were there any worms found in it.
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
And Moses said: “Eat it today, because it is the Sabbath of the Lord. Today it will not be found 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
Gather for six days. But on the seventh day, it is the Sabbath of the Lord, for which reason it will not be found.”
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
And the seventh day arrived. And some of the people, going out to collect it, did not find it.
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 be unwilling to keep my commandments and my law?
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
See how the Lord has given you the Sabbath, and, because of this, on the sixth day he distributes to you a double portion. Let each one remain with his own, and let no one go forth from his place on the seventh day.”
30 是民第七日に休息り
And the people kept the Sabbath 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
And the house of Israel called its name ‘Manna.’ It was like white coriander seed, and its taste was like wheat flour 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
Then Moses said: “This is the word that the Lord has instructed: Fill an omer of it, and let it be kept for future generations hereafter, so that they may know the bread, with which I nourished you in the wilderness, when you had been led away from 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
And Moses said to Aaron, “Take one vessel, and put manna into it, as much as an omer is able to hold. And store it in the sight of the Lord, to keep for your generations,
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
just as the Lord instructed Moses.” And so, Aaron placed it in the tabernacle, in reserve.
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
Now the sons of Israel ate manna for forty years, until they arrived in a habitable land. With this food they were nourished, even until they touched the borders of the land of Canaan.
36 オメルはエパの十分の一なり
Now an omer is a tenth part of an ephah.
