Exodus 16

DOUAI-RHEIMS	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 And they set forward from Elim, and all the multitude of the children of Israel came into the desert of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai: the fifteenth day of the second month, after they came out of the land of Egypt.	1 ثم ارتحلوا من ايليم واتى كل جماعة بني اسرائيل الى برية سين التي بين ايليم وسيناء في اليوم الخامس عشر من الشهر الثاني بعد خروجهم من ارض مصر.
2 And all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness.	2 فتذمر كل جماعة بني اسرائيل على موسى وهرون في البرية.
3 And the children of Israel said to them: Would to God we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat over the flesh pots, and ate bread to the full. Why have you brought us into this desert, that you might destroy all the multitude with famine?	3 وقال لهما بنو اسرائيل ليتنا متنا بيد الرب في ارض مصر اذ كنا جالسين عند قدور اللحم نأكل خبزا للشبع. فانكما اخرجتمانا الى هذا القفر لكي تميتا كل هذا الجمهور بالجوع
4 And the Lord said to Moses: Behold I will rain bread from heaven for you: let the people go forth, and gather what is sufficient for every day: that I may prove them whether they will walk in my law, or not.	4 فقال الرب لموسى ها انا امطر لكم خبزا من السماء. فيخرج الشعب ويلتقطون حاجة اليوم بيومها. لكي امتحنهم أيسلكون في ناموسي ام لا.
5 But the sixth day let them provide for to bring in: and let it be double to that they were wont to gather every day.	5 ويكون في اليوم السادس انهم يهيئون ما يجيئون به فيكون ضعف ما يلتقطونه يوما فيوما.
6 And Moses and Aaron said to the children of Israel: In the evening you shall know that the Lord hath brought you forth out of the land of Egypt:	6 فقال موسى وهرون لجميع بني اسرائيل في المساء تعلمون ان الرب اخرجكم من ارض مصر.
7 And in the morning you shall see the glory of the Lord: for he hath heard your murmuring against the Lord: but as for us, what are we, that you mutter against us?	7 وفي الصباح ترون مجد الرب لاستماعه تذمّركم على الرب. واما نحن فماذا حتى تتذمروا علينا.
8 And Moses said: In the evening the Lord will give you flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full: for he hath heard your murmurings, with which you have murmured against him, for what are we? your murmuring is not against us, but against the Lord.	8 وقال موسى. ذلك بان الرب يعطيكم في المساء لحما لتاكلوا وفي الصباح خبزا لتشبعوا لاستماع الرب تذمّركم الذي تتذمرون عليه. واما نحن فماذا. ليس علينا تذمّركم بل على الرب.
9 Moses also said to Aaron: Say to the whole congregation of the children of Israel: Come before the Lord: for he hath heard your murmuring.	9 وقال موسى لهرون قل لكل جماعة بني اسرائيل اقتربوا الى امام الرب لانه قد سمع تذمّركم.
10 And when Aaron spoke to all the assembly of the children of Israel, they looked towards the wilderness: and behold the glory of the Lord appeared in a cloud.	10 فحدث اذ كان هرون يكلم كل جماعة بني اسرائيل انهم التفتوا نحو البرية. واذا مجد الرب قد ظهر في السحاب.
11 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:	11 فكلم الرب موسى قائلا.
12 I have heard the murmuring of the children of Israel: say to them: In the evening you shall eat flesh, and in the morning you shall have your fill of bread: and you shall know that I am the Lord your God.	12 سمعت تذمر بني اسرائيل. كلمهم قائلا في العشية تاكلون لحما وفي الصباح تشبعون خبزا. وتعلمون اني انا الرب الهكم
13 So it came to pass in the evening, that quails coming up, covered the camp: and in the morning, a dew lay round about the camp.	13 فكان في المساء ان السلوى صعدت وغطت المحلّة. وفي الصباح كان سقيط الندى حوالي المحلّة.
14 And when it had covered the face of the earth, it appeared in the wilderness small, and as it were beaten with a pestle, like unto the hoar frost on the ground.	14 ولما ارتفع سقيط الندى اذا على وجه البرية شيء دقيق مثل قشور. دقيق كالجليد على الارض.
15 And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another: Manhu! which signifieth: What is this! for they knew not what it was. And Moses said to them: This is the bread, which the Lord hath given you to eat.	15 فلما رأى بنو اسرائيل قالوا بعضهم لبعض من هو. لانهم لم يعرفوا ما هو. فقال لهم موسى هو الخبز الذي اعطاكم الرب لتاكلوا.
16 This is the word, that the Lord hath commanded: Let every one gather of it as much as is enough to eat: a gomor for every man, according to the number of your souls that dwell in a tent, so shall you take of it.	16 هذا هو الشيء الذي امر به الرب التقطوا منه كل واحد على حسب اكله عمرا للراس على عدد نفوسكم تاخذون كل واحد للذين في خيمته
17 And the children of Israel did so: and they gathered, one more, another less.	17 ففعل بنو اسرائيل هكذا والتقطوا بين مكثّر ومقلّل.
18 And they measured by the measure of a gomor: neither had he more that had gathered more: nor did he find less that had provided less: but every one had gathered, according to what they were able to eat.	18 ولما كالوا بالعمر لم يفضل المكثر والمقلل لم ينقص. كانوا قد التقطوا كل واحد على حسب اكله.
19 And Moses said to them: Let no man leave thereof till the morning.	19 وقال لهم موسى لا يبقي احد منه الى الصباح.
20 And they hearkened not to him, but some of them left until the morning, and it began to be full of worms, an it putrefied, and Moses was angry with them.	20 لكنهم لم يسمعوا لموسى بل ابقى منه اناس الى الصباح. فتولّد فيه دود وانتن. فسخط عليهم موسى.
21 Now every one of them gathered in the morning, as much as might suffice to eat: and after the sun grew hot, it melted.	21 وكانوا يلتقطونه صباحا فصباحا كل واحد على حسب اكله. واذا حميت الشمس كان يذوب
22 But on the sixth day they gathered twice as much, that is, two gomors every man: and all the rulers of the multitude came, and told Moses.	22 ثم كان في اليوم السادس انهم التقطوا خبزا مضاعفا عمرين للواحد. فجاء كل رؤساء الجماعة واخبروا موسى.
23 And he said to them: This is what the Lord hath spoken: To morrow is the rest of the sabbath sanctified to the Lord. Whatsoever work is to be done, do it: and the meats that are to be dressed, dress them: and whatsoever shall remain, lay it up until the morning.	23 فقال لهم هذا ما قال الرب غدا عطلة سبت مقدس للرب. اخبزوا ما تخبزون واطبخوا ما تطبخون. وكل ما فضل ضعوه عندكم ليحفظ الى الغد.
24 And they did so as Moses had commanded, and it did not putrefy, neither was there worm found in it.	24 فوضعوه الى الغد كما امر موسى. فلم ينتن ولا صار فيه دود.
25 And Moses said: Eat it to day, because it is the sabbath of the Lord: to day it shall not be found in the field.	25 فقال موسى كلوه اليوم لان للرب اليوم سبتا. اليوم لا تجدونه في الحقل.
26 Gather it six days: but on the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord, therefore it shall not be found.	26 ستة ايام تلتقطونه. واما اليوم السابع ففيه سبت. لا يوجد فيه
27 And the seventh day came: and some of the people going forth to gather, found none.	27 وحدث في اليوم السابع ان بعض الشعب خرجوا ليلتقطوا فلم يجدوا.
28 And the Lord said to Moses: How long will you refuse to keep my commandments, and my law?	28 فقال الرب لموسى الى متى تأبون ان تحفظوا وصاياي وشرائعي.
29 See that the Lord hath given you the sabbath, and for this reason on the sixth day he giveth you a double provision: let each man stay at home, and let none go forth out of his place the seventh day.	29 انظروا. ان الرب اعطاكم السبت لذلك هو يعطيكم في اليوم السادس خبز يومين. اجلسوا كل واحد في مكانه. لا يخرج احد من مكانه في اليوم السابع.
30 And the people kept the sabbath on the seventh day.	30 فاستراح الشعب في اليوم السابع.
31 And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it was like coriander seed white, and the taste thereof like to flour with honey.	31 ودعا بيت اسرائيل اسمه منّا. وهو كبزر الكزبرة ابيض وطعمه كرقاق بعسل
32 And Moses said: This is the word, which the Lord hath commanded: Fill a gomor of it, and let it be kept unto generations to come hereafter, that they may know the bread, wherewith I fed you in the wilderness, when you were brought forth out of the land of Egypt.	32 وقال موسى هذا هو الشيء الذي امر به الرب. ملء العمر منه يكون للحفظ في اجيالكم. لكي يروا الخبز الذي اطعمتكم في البرية حين اخرجتكم من ارض مصر.
33 And Moses said to Aaron: Take a vessel, and put manna into it, as much as a gomor can hold: and lay it up before the Lord to keep unto your generations,	33 وقال موسى لهرون خذ قسطا واحدا واجعل فيه ملء العمر منّا وضعه امام الرب للحفظ في اجيالكم.
34 As the Lord commanded Moses. And Aaron put it in the tabernacle to be kept.	34 كما امر الرب موسى وضعه هرون امام الشهادة للحفظ.
35 And the children of Israel ate manna forty years, till they came to a habitable land: with this meat were they fed, until they reached the borders of the land of Chanaan.	35 واكل بنو اسرائيل المنّ اربعين سنة حتى جاءوا الى ارض عامرة. اكلوا المنّ حتى جاءوا الى طرف ارض كنعان.
36 Now a gomor is the tenth part of an ephi.	36 واما العمر فهو عشر الإيفة
