प्रस्थान 16

1 मानिसहरूले एलीमबाट यात्रा थाले र मिश्र देशबाट प्रस्थान गरेको दोस्रो महिनाको पन्ध्रौँ दिनमा इस्राएलीहरूका सारा समुदाय एलीम र सीनै पर्वतको बिचमा पर्ने सीनको उजाड-स्थानमा आइपुगे ।

And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel 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 उजाड-स्थानमा इस्राएलीहरूका सारा समुदायले मोशा र हारूनको विरुद्धमा गनगन गरे ।

And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness:

3 इस्राएलीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “हामी मासुको भाँडानेर बसेर अघाउञ्‍जेल रोटी खाइरहँदा मिश्र देशमा नै परमप्रभुको हातद्वारा मरेको भए हुनेथियो । किनकि तपाईंहरूले हाम्रो पुरै समुदायलाई भोकले मार्न हामीलाई उजाड-स्थानमा ल्याउनुभएको छ ।”

And the children of Israel said to them, O that we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we ate bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.

4 तब परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्‍नुभयो, “म तिमीहरूका निम्ति स्वर्गबाट रोटी बर्साउनेछु । तिनीहरू मेरो विधि मान्छन् वा मान्दैनन् भनी जाँच गर्न हरेक दिन एक दिनको भाग जम्मा गर्न मानिसहरू बाहिर जानेछन् ।

Then said the LORD to Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may test them, whether they will walk in my law, or not.

5 छैटौँ दिनमा तिनीहरूले पहिले हरेक दिनमा बटुल्ने भन्दा दुई गुणा बटुल्नेछन्, र तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई भित्र ल्याएर पकाउनेछन् ।”

And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.

6 तब मोशा र हारूनले इस्राएलका सबै मानिसलाई भने, “मिश्र देशबाट तिमीहरूलाई निकालेर ल्याउनुहुने परमप्रभु नै हुनुहुन्छ भनी साँझमा तिमीहरूले थाहा पाउनेछौ ।

And Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, At evening, then ye shall know that the LORD hath brought you out from the land of Egypt:

7 बिहान तिमीहरूले परमप्रभुको महिमा देख्‍नेछौ किनकि तिमीहरूले उहाँको विरुद्धमा गरेको गनगन उहाँले सुन्‍नुभएको छ । हाम्रो विरुद्धमा गनगन गर्ने तिमीहरूका लागि हामी को हौँ र?

And in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of the LORD; for that he heareth your murmurings against the LORD: and what are we, that ye murmur against us?

8 मोशाले यसो पनि भने, “तिमीहरूले उहाँको विरुद्धमा गरेको गनगन उहाँले सुन्‍नुभएकोले उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई साँझमा मासु र बिहान रोटी अघाउञ्‍जेल दिनुहुँदा तिमीहरूले यो जान्‍नेछौ । हारून र म को हौँ र? तिमीहरूको गनगन हाम्रा विरुद्धमा नभई परमप्रभुको विरुद्धमा हो ।”

And Moses said, This shall be, when the LORD shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the LORD heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against the LORD.

9 मोशाले हारूनलाई भने, “इस्राएलका सारा समुदायलाई भन्‍नुहोस्, 'परमप्रभुको नजिक आओ किनकि उहाँले तिमीहरूको गनगन सुन्‍नुभएको छ' ।”

And Moses spoke to Aaron, Say to all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before the LORD: for he hath heard your murmurings.

10 हारून इस्राएलको सारा समुदायसित बोल्दा तिनीहरूले उजाड-स्थानतिर हेरे र परमप्रभुको महिमा बादलमा देखियो ।

And it came to pass, as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud.

11 तब परमप्रभुले मोशालाई यसो भन्‍नुभयो,

And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

12 “मैले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूको गनगन सुनेको छु । तिनीहरूलाई भन्, 'साँझमा तिमीहरूले मासु खानेछौ, र बिहानचाहिँ तिमीहरूले अघाउञ्‍जेल रोटी खानेछौ । तब म नै तिमीहरूका परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर हुँ भनी तिमीहरूले जान्‍नेछौ' ।”

I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak to them, saying, At evening ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God.

13 साँझमा बट्टाई चराहरू आएर तिनीहरूको छाउनी नै ढाकिदिए । बिहान छाउनीको वरिपरि शीत परेको थियो ।

And it came to pass, that at evening the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay around the host.

14 शीत सुकेपछि जमिनमा देखा परेको तुसारोझैँ स-साना डल्लाहरू उजाड-स्थानको सतहमा थिए ।

And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the ground.

15 इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले यसलाई देखेपछि तिनीहरूले एक-अर्कालाई भने, “यो के हो?” यो के थियो भनी तिनीहरूलाई थाहा थिएन । मोशाले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “यो परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई खानलाई दिनुभएको रोटी हो ।

And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they knew not what it was. And Moses said to them, This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat.

16 परमप्रभुले दिनुभएको आज्ञा यस्तो छः तिमीहरू हरेकले आफूलाई चाहिने बटुल अर्थात् तिमीहरूका मानिसहरूको सङ्ख्याअनुसार हरेकलाई एक-एक ओमेर बटुल । तिमीहरूको पालमा बस्‍ने हरेक व्यक्तिलाई पर्याप्‍त हुने गरी बटुल' ।”

This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer for every man, according to the number of your persons; take ye every man for them who are in his tents.

17 इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले त्यसै गरे । कसैले धेरै बटुले भने कसैले थोरै ।

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

18 तिनीहरूले ओमेरले नाप्दा धेरै बटुल्नेहरूको बढ्ता भएन र कम बटुल्नेहरूलाई पनि अपुग भएन । हरेक व्यक्तिले आफ्नो आवश्यकताअनुसार बटुल्यो ।

And when they measured it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating.

19 तब मोशाले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “बिहानसम्म तिमीहरू कसैले पनि यसबाट नउबार ।”

And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning.

20 तर तिनीहरूले मोशाको कुरा मानेनन् । कसैले बिहानसम्म अलिकति उबारे, तर त्यसमा किरा लागेर त्यो गन्हायो । त्यसपछि मोशा तिनीहरूसित रिसाए ।

However they hearkened not to Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank: and Moses was angry with them.

21 तिनीहरूले बिहानैपिच्छे बटुल्थे । हरेकले त्यस दिनलाई पुग्‍ने बटुल्थ्यो । घाम चर्केपछि त्यो पग्लन्थ्यो ।

And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun became hot, it melted.

22 छैटौँ दिनमा तिनीहरूले दुई गुणा रोटी बटुले अर्थात् हरेकको लागि दुई ओमेर बटुले । समुदायका सारा धर्म-गुरुहरू आएर मोशालाई यो कुरा बताए ।

And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one man: and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.

23 तिनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “परमप्रभुले यसो भन्‍नुभएको छः भोलि विश्रामको दिन हो अर्थात् परमप्रभुको दृष्‍टिमा पवित्र शबाथ हो । तिमीहरू जे पकाउन चाहन्छौ, सो पकाओ र जे उमाल्न चाहन्छौ, सो उमाल । उब्रेको जति सबै बिहानसम्म आफ्नो लागि राख्‍नू' ।”

And he said to them, This is that which the LORD hath said, To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath to the LORD: bake that which ye will bake to day, and boil that ye will boil; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.

24 त्यसैले तिनीहरूले मोशाले निर्देशन दिएजस्तै यसलाई बिहानसम्म राखे ।

And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses ordered: and it did not stink, neither was there any worm in it.

25 मोशाले भने, “त्यो खाना आज खाओ किनकि आजको दिन परमप्रभुको निम्ति अलग गरिएको शबाथ हो । आज तिमीहरूले यो खाना जमिनमा पाउनेछैनौ ।

And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbath to the LORD: to day ye shall not find it in the field.

26 छ दिनसम्म तिमीहरूले यो बटुल्नेछौ, तर सातौँ दिनचाहिँ शबाथ हो ।

Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.

27 सातौँ दिनमा त्यहाँ मन्‍न हुनेछैन ।” सातौँ दिनमा पनि केही मानिसहरू मन्‍न बटुल्न गए, तर तिनीहरूले केही पाएनन् ।

And it came to pass, that some of the people went out on the seventh day to gather, and they found none.

28 तब परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्‍नुभयो, “कहिलेसम्म तिमीहरू मेरा आज्ञा र विधिहरू मान्‍नलाई इन्कार गर्छौ?

And the LORD said to Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?

29 परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई शबाथ दिनुभएको छ । त्यसैले छैटौँ दिनमा उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई दुई दिनको लागि रोटी दिँदै हुनुहुन्छ । हरेक आ-आफ्नै ठाउँमा बस्‍नू । सातौँ दिनमा कोही पनि आफ्नो ठाउँबाट बाहिर नजानू ।”

See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.

30 त्यसैले मानिसहरूले सातौँ दिनमा विश्राम गरे ।

So the people rested on the seventh day.

31 इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले त्यस खानालाई “मन्‍न” भने । यो धनियाँको गेडाजस्तो सेतो थियो र यसको स्वाद महमा बनाइएको बाबरजस्तो थियो ।

And the house of Israel called its name Manna: and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.

32 मोशाले भने, “परमप्रभुले दिनुभएको आज्ञा यही होः एक ओमेर मन्‍न तिमीहरूको पुस्तौँसम्मको लागि राख ताकि तिमीहरूका सन्तानहरूले मैले तिमीहरूलाई मिश्र देशबाट निकालेर ल्याएपछि उजाड-स्थानमा खुवाएको यो रोटी देख्‍न सकून्' ।”

And Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD commanded, Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they may see the bread that I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.

33 मोशाले हारूनलाई भने, “एउटा भाँडोभित्र एक ओमेर मन्‍न हाल्नुहोस् । पुस्तौँसम्म यसलाई परमप्रभुको सामु सुरक्षित राख्‍नुहोस् ।”

And Moses said to Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna in it, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept for your generations.

34 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई आज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ हारूनले यसलाई करारको सन्दुकको छेउमा राखे ।

As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.

35 इस्राएलीहरू मानिसहरू बसोबास गरेको भूमिमा नआउञ्‍जेलसम्म तिनीहरूले चालिस वर्षसम्म मन्‍न खाइरहे । तिनीहरू कनान देशका सिमानाहरूमा नआउञ्‍जेलम्म यो खाइरहे ।

And the children of Israel ate manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited; they ate manna, until they came to the borders of the land of Canaan.

36 एक ओमेर आधा पाथी हुन्छ ।

Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
