< Exodus 16 >

1 And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt.
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.
2 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness;
U pustinji sva izraelska zajednica počne mrmljati protiv Mojsija i Arona.
3 and the children of Israel said unto them: 'Would that we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh-pots, when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.'
“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!”
4 Then said the LORD unto Moses: 'Behold, I will cause to 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.
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.
5 And it shall come to pass on the sixth day that they shall prepare that which they bring in, and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.'
A šestoga dana, kad spreme što su nakupili, bit će dvaput onoliko koliko su skupljali za svaki dan.”
6 And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel: 'At even, then ye shall know that the LORD hath brought you out from the land of Egypt;
Onda Mojsije i Aron progovore svim Izraelcima: “Večeras ćete poznati da vas je Jahve izveo iz zemlje egipatske,
7 and in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of the LORD; for that He hath heard your murmurings against the LORD; and what are we, that ye murmur against us?'
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?
8 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.'
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.”
9 And Moses said unto Aaron: 'Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel: Come near before the LORD; for He hath heard your murmurings.'
Poslije toga rekne Mojsije Aronu: “Reci svoj izraelskoj zajednici: 'Skupite se pred Jahvu, jer je čuo vaše mrmljanje!'”
10 And it came to pass, as Aaron spoke unto 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.
I dok je Aron svoj izraelskoj zajednici govorio, oni se okrenu prema pustinji, i gle! u oblaku pojavi se Jahvina slava.
11 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
Onda se Jahve oglasi Mojsiju i reče mu:
12 'I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel. Speak unto them, saying: At dusk 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.'
“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.'”
13 And it came to pass at even, that the quails came up, and covered the camp; and in the morning there was a layer of dew round about the camp.
I doista! Navečer se pojave prepelice i prekriju tabor. A ujutro obilna rosa sve orosila oko tabora.
14 And when the layer of dew was gone up, behold upon the face of the wilderness a fine, scale-like thing, fine as the hoar-frost on the ground.
Kad se prevlaka rose digla, površinom pustinje ležao tanak sloj, nešto poput pahuljica, kao da se slana uhvatila po zemlji.
15 And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another: 'What is it?' — for they knew not what it was. And Moses said unto them: 'It is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat.
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.
16 This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded: Gather ye of it every man according to his eating; an omer a head, according to the number of your persons, shall ye take it, every man for them that are in his tent.'
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.'”
17 And the children of Israel did so, and gathered some more, some less.
Izraelci tako uradiše. Neki nakupe više, neki manje.
18 And when they did mete 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.
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.
19 And Moses said unto them: 'Let no man leave of it till the morning.'
“Neka nitko ne ostavlja ništa za ujutro!” - rekne im Mojsije.
20 Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and rotted; and Moses was wroth with them.
Ali oni nisu poslušali Mojsija; neki ostave i za sutra. A to im se ucrva i usmrdje. Mojsije se na njih razljuti.
21 And they gathered it morning by morning, every man according to his eating; and as the sun waxed hot, it melted.
Tako su skupljali svako jutro koliko je kome trebalo za jelo. I kad bi sunce ogrijalo, mÓana bi se rastopila.
22 And it came to pass that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one; and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.
Onda šestoga dana nakupiše dvostruku količinu hrane - po dva gomera na svakoga. Kad su starješine zajednice došle da izvijeste Mojsija,
23 And he said unto them: 'This is that which the LORD hath spoken: To-morrow is a solemn rest, a holy sabbath unto the LORD. Bake that which ye will bake, and seethe that which ye will seethe; and all that remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.'
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.”
24 And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade; and it did not rot, neither was there any worm therein.
Ostave to oni za sutra, kako je Mojsije naredio, i niti se usmrdjelo niti su se crvi pojavili.
25 And Moses said: 'Eat that to-day; for to-day is a sabbath unto the LORD; to-day ye shall not find it in the field.
“Jedite to danas”, reče im Mojsije, “jer je ovaj dan subota u čast Jahve; danas nećete naći mÓane na polju.
26 Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.'
Šest je dana skupljajte, a sedmoga, u subotu, neće je biti.”
27 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that there went out some of the people to gather, and they found none.
Bijaše nekih koji su i sedmoga dana išli da je nakupe, ali ništa ne nađoše.
28 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'How long refuse ye to keep My commandments and My laws?
Zato Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Dokle ćete odbijati da se pokorite mojim zapovijedima i mojim zakonima?
29 See 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.'
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.”
30 So the people rested on the seventh day.
Tako se sedmoga dana narod odmarao.
31 And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna; and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.
Dom je Izraelov tu hranu prozvao mÓanom. Bijaše kao zrno korijandra; bijela, a imala je ukus medenog kolačića.
32 And Moses said: 'This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded: Let an omerful of it be kept throughout your generations; that they may see the bread wherewith I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.'
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.”
33 And Moses said unto Aaron: 'Take a jar, and put an omerful of manna therein, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept throughout your generations.'
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.”
34 As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
Kako je Jahve naredio Mojsiju, Aron je stavi pred Svjedočanstvo na čuvanje.
35 And the children of Israel did eat the manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited; they did eat the manna, until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan.
Izraelci su se hranili manom četrdeset godina, sve dok nisu došli u naseljenu zemlju: jeli su manu do dolaska na granicu zemlje kanaanske.
36 Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
Gomer je deseti dio efe.
