| 1 Potom krenu iz Elima, i sva izraelska zajednica dođe u pustinju Sin, koja je između Elima i Sinaja, petnaestoga dana drugoga mjeseca nakon odlaska iz zemlje egipatske. | 1 They set out from Elim, and all the congregation of the people of Israel came to the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after they had departed from the land of Egypt. |
| 2 U pustinji sva izraelska zajednica počne mrmljati protiv Mojsija i Arona. | 2 And the whole congregation of the people of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness, |
| 3 »Oh, da smo pomrli od ruke Jahvine u zemlji egipatskoj kad smo sjedili kod lonaca s mesom i jeli kruha do mile volje!« – rekoše im. »Izveli ste nas u ovu pustinju da sve ovo mnoštvo gladom pomorite!« | 3 and said to them, "Would that we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the fleshpots and ate bread to the full; for you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger." |
| 4 Tada reče Jahve Mojsiju: »Učinit ću da vam daždi kruh s neba. Neka narod ide i skuplja svaki dan koliko mu za dan treba. Tako ću ih kušati i vidjeti hoće li se držati moga zakona ili neće. | 4 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a day's portion every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law or not. |
| 5 A šestoga dana, kad spreme što su nakupili, bit će dvaput onoliko koliko su skupljali za svaki dan.« | 5 On the sixth day, when they prepare what they bring in, it will be twice as much as they gather daily." |
| 6 Onda Mojsije i Aron progovore svim Izraelcima: »Večeras ćete spoznati da vas je Jahve izveo iz zemlje egipatske, | 6 So Moses and Aaron said to all the people of Israel, "At evening you shall know that it was the LORD who brought you out of the land of Egypt, |
| 7 a ujutro ćete vidjeti svojim očima Jahvinu slavu, jer vas je čuo Jahve kako ste protiv njega mrmljali. Što smo mi da protiv nas mrmljate? | 7 and in the morning you shall see the glory of the LORD, because he has heard your murmurings against the LORD. For what are we, that you murmur against us?" |
| 8 Večeras će vam Jahve dati mesa da jedete«, nastavi Mojsije, »a ujutro kruha do mile volje, jer je Jahve čuo vaše mrmljanje protiv njega. Što smo mi? Vi ne mrmljate protiv nas, nego protiv Jahve.« | 8 And Moses said, "When the LORD gives you in the evening flesh to eat and in the morning bread to the full, because the LORD has heard your murmurings which you murmur against him--what are we? Your murmurings are not against us but against the LORD." |
| 9 Poslije toga rekne Mojsije Aronu: »Reci svoj izraelskoj zajednici: ‘Skupite se pred Jahvu, jer je čuo vaše mrmljanje!’« | 9 And Moses said to Aaron, "Say to the whole congregation of the people of Israel, 'Come near before the LORD, for he has heard your murmurings.'" |
| 10 I dok je Aron svoj izraelskoj zajednici govorio, oni se okrenu prema pustinji, i gle! u oblaku pojavi se Jahvina slava. | 10 And as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the people of Israel, they looked toward the wilderness, and behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud. |
| 11 Onda se Jahve oglasi Mojsiju i reče mu: | 11 And the LORD said to Moses, |
| 12 »Čuo sam mrmljanje Izraelaca. Ovako im reci: ‘Večeras ćete jesti meso, a ujutro ćete se nasititi kruha. Tada ćete poznati da sam ja Jahve, Bog vaš.’« | 12 "I have heard the murmurings of the people of Israel; say to them, 'At twilight you shall eat flesh, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread; then you shall know that I am the LORD your God.'" |
| 13 I doista! Navečer se pojave prepelice i prekriju tabor. A ujutro obilna rosa sve orosila oko tabora. | 13 In the evening quails came up and covered the camp; and in the morning dew lay round about the camp. |
| 14 Kad se prevlaka rose digla, površinom pustinje ležao tanak sloj, nešto poput pahuljica, kao da se slána uhvatila po zemlji. | 14 And when the dew had gone up, there was on the face of the wilderness a fine, flake-like thing, fine as hoarfrost on the ground. |
| 15 Kad su Izraelci to vidjeli, pitali su jedan drugoga: »Što je to?« Jer nisu znali što je. Onda im Mojsije reče: »To je kruh koji vam je Jahve pribavio za hranu. | 15 When the people of Israel saw it, they said to one another, "What is it?" For they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them, "It is the bread which the LORD has given you to eat. |
| 16 A ovo je zapovijed koju je Jahve izdao: ‘Nakupite koliko kome treba za jelo – jedan gomer po osobi, svatko prema broju članova koji su mu u šatoru.’« | 16 This is what the LORD has commanded: 'Gather of it, every man of you, as much as he can eat; you shall take an omer apiece, according to the number of the persons whom each of you has in his tent.'" |
| 17 Izraelci tako uradiše. Neki nakupe više, neki manje. | 17 And the people of Israel did so; they gathered, some more, some less. |
| 18 Kad su izmjerili na gomer, pokaza se da nije ništa preteklo onome koji bijaše nakupio mnogo, a niti je nedostajalo onome koji bijaše nakupio manje: svatko je nakupio koliko mu je trebalo za jelo. | 18 But when they measured it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; each gathered according to what he could eat. |
| 19 »Neka nitko ne ostavlja ništa za ujutro!« – rekne im Mojsije. | 19 And Moses said to them, "Let no man leave any of it till the morning." |
| 20 Ali oni nisu poslušali Mojsija; neki ostave i za sutra. A to im se ucrva i usmrdje. Mojsije se na njih razljuti. | 20 But they did not listen to Moses; some left part of it till the morning, and it bred worms and became foul; and Moses was angry with them. |
| 21 Tako su skupljali svako jutro koliko je kome trebalo za jelo. I kad bi sunce ogrijalo, mana bi se rastopila. | 21 Morning by morning they gathered it, each as much as he could eat; but when the sun grew hot, it melted. |
| 22 Onda šestoga dana nakupiše dvostruku količinu hrane – po dva gomera na svakoga. Kad su starješine zajednice došle da izvijeste Mojsija, | 22 On the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers apiece; and when all the leaders of the congregation came and told Moses, |
| 23 on im reče: »Ovo je zapovijed Jahvina: Sutra je dan potpunog odmora, subota Jahvi posvećena. Ispecite što želite peći; skuhajte što želite kuhati. Sve što vam preteče ostavite za sutra.« | 23 he said to them, "This is what the LORD has commanded: 'Tomorrow is a day of solemn rest, a holy sabbath to the LORD; bake what you will bake and boil what you will boil, and all that is left over lay by to be kept till the morning.'" |
| 24 Ostave to oni za sutra, kako je Mojsije naredio, i niti se usmrdjelo niti su se crvi pojavili. | 24 So they laid it by till the morning, as Moses bade them; and it did not become foul, and there were no worms in it. |
| 25 »Jedite to danas«, reče im Mojsije, »jer je ovaj dan subota u čast Jahve; danas nećete naći mane na polju. | 25 Moses said, "Eat it today, for today is a sabbath to the LORD; today you will not find it in the field. |
| 26 Šest je dana skupljajte, a sedmoga, u subotu, neće je biti.« | 26 Six days you shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is a sabbath, there will be none." |
| 27 Bijaše nekih koji su i sedmoga dana išli da je nakupe, ali ništa ne nađoše. | 27 On the seventh day some of the people went out to gather, and they found none. |
| 28 Zato Jahve reče Mojsiju: »Dokle ćete odbijati da se pokorite mojim zapovijedima i mojim zakonima? | 28 And the LORD said to Moses, "How long do you refuse to keep my commandments and my laws? |
| 29 Pogledajte! Zato što vam je Jahve dao subotu, daje vam hrane šestoga dana za dva dana. Neka svatko stoji gdje jest; neka nitko u sedmi dan ne izlazi iz svoga stana.« | 29 See! The LORD has given you the sabbath, therefore on the sixth day he gives you bread for two days; remain every man of you in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day." |
| 30 Tako se sedmoga dana narod odmarao. | 30 So the people rested on the seventh day. |
| 31 Dom je Izraelov tu hranu prozvao manom. Bijaše kao zrno korijandra; bijela, a imala je ukus medenog kolačića. | 31 Now the house of Israel called its name manna; it was like coriander seed, white, and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey. |
| 32 Onda rekne Mojsije: »Ovo je zapovijed koju je izdao Jahve: Napunite tim jedan gomer i čuvajte ga za svoje potomke da vide hranu kojom sam vas hranio u pustinji kad sam vas izbavio iz zemlje egipatske.« | 32 And Moses said, "This is what the LORD has commanded: 'Let an omer of it be kept throughout your generations, that they may see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.'" |
| 33 I naredi Mojsije Aronu: »Uzmi jednu posudu; stavi u nju cio gomer mane, a onda je položi pred Jahvu da se sačuva za vaše potomke.« | 33 And Moses said to Aaron, "Take a jar, and put an omer of manna in it, and place it before the LORD, to be kept throughout your generations." |
| 34 Kako je Jahve naredio Mojsiju, Aron je stavi pred Svjedočanstvo na čuvanje. | 34 As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron placed it before the testimony, to be kept. |
| 35 Izraelci su se hranili manom četrdeset godina, sve dok nisu došli u naseljenu zemlju: jeli su manu do dolaska na granicu zemlje kanaanske. | 35 And the people of Israel ate the manna forty years, till they came to a habitable land; they ate the manna, till they came to the border of the land of Canaan. |
| 36 Gomer je deseti dio efe. | 36 (An omer is the tenth part of an ephah.) |
