Exodus 16
1 They/We left Elim, and all the Israeli people came to the desert [named] Sin. That is between Elim and Sinai [Mountain]. That was on the fifteenth day of the second month after they/we left 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 There in the desert, the Israeli [HYP] people complained to Aaron and Moses/me.
U pustinji sva izraelska zajednica počne mrmljati protiv Mojsija i Arona.
3 They said to them/us, “We wish that Yahweh had killed us in Egypt! There we had meat to eat, and all the bread that we wanted. But you have brought us into this desert in order that we will all starve to death!”
“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 Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Listen to what I am going [to do]. I am going to send something from the sky that will [take the place of] bread for all of you. When I do that, the people must go out of their tents every day and gather just enough to eat on that day. [When I do that], I will find out whether they will obey my instructions 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 On the sixth day [after I start doing that], they will be able to gather twice as much as on the other days, [and not have to gather any on the seventh day]. Then they can prepare it [to eat it on the 6th and 7th days].”
A šestoga dana, kad spreme što su nakupili, bit će dvaput onoliko koliko su skupljali za svaki dan.”
6 So Aaron and Moses/I said to all the Israeli people, “This evening you will know that it was Yahweh, [not we], who brought you out of Egypt.
Onda Mojsije i Aron progovore svim Izraelcima: “Večeras ćete poznati da vas je Jahve izveo iz zemlje egipatske,
7 And tomorrow morning you will see how great Yahweh is, because he has heard what you have complained about. He is the one whom you have really complained to, because we are just his servants.” [RHQ]
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 Then Moses/I also said, “[From now on, each] evening Yahweh will give you meat to eat, and [each] morning he will give you [something that will take the place of] bread, because he has heard what you have complained about. Yahweh is the one to whom you have really complained, not us. We are just his servants.” [RHQ]
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 Then Moses/I said to Aaron, “Tell all the Israeli people, ‘Come and stand here in the presence of Yahweh, because he has heard what you have been complaining about.’”
Poslije toga rekne Mojsije Aronu: “Reci svoj izraelskoj zajednici: 'Skupite se pred Jahvu, jer je čuo vaše mrmljanje!'”
10 So Aaron told them that. And as Aaron was talking to all the Israeli people, they looked toward the desert, and were surprised to see the (dazzling light/incredible brightness) of Yahweh in the cloud [that had been leading them].
I dok je Aron svoj izraelskoj zajednici govorio, oni se okrenu prema pustinji, i gle! u oblaku pojavi se Jahvina slava.
11 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Onda se Jahve oglasi Mojsiju i reče mu:
12 “I have heard what the Israeli people have been complaining about. So say to them, ‘From now on, each evening, you will have meat to eat. And each morning you will have something that will take the place of bread. You will have all you want of it to eat.’ Then you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
“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 That evening, (quails/small plump birds) appeared, and [there were so many that] they covered the campsite. The next morning there was [something like] dew all around the campsite.
I doista! Navečer se pojave prepelice i prekriju tabor. A ujutro obilna rosa sve orosila oko tabora.
14 When the dew evaporated, on the surface of the desert there was a thick layer of something that looked like white flakes. It looked like frost.
Kad se prevlaka rose digla, površinom pustinje ležao tanak sloj, nešto poput pahuljica, kao da se slana uhvatila po zemlji.
15 When the Israeli people saw it, since they [had never seen it before and] did not know what it was, they said to each other, “What is it?” Moses/I replied to them, “It is something Yahweh has given you to eat, to take the place of bread.
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 what Yahweh has commanded: ‘Each of you should gather as much as you need to eat. Gather two quarts/liters for each person who lives in your tents.’”
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 So that is what the Israeli people did. Some gathered more and some gathered less.
Izraelci tako uradiše. Neki nakupe više, neki manje.
18 But when they measured [what they had gathered], those that had gathered a lot did not have anything left over. And those that gathered less still had enough to eat. Each person gathered just what they needed.
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 Moses/I said to them, “Do not leave any of it to eat tomorrow morning!”
“Neka nitko ne ostavlja ništa za ujutro!” - rekne im Mojsije.
20 But some of them did not pay any attention to what Moses/I said. They kept some of it until the next morning. But it was full of maggots and smelled rotten. And that made Moses/me angry.
Ali oni nisu poslušali Mojsija; neki ostave i za sutra. A to im se ucrva i usmrdje. Mojsije se na njih razljuti.
21 Each morning they gathered as much as they needed. But [later], when the sun got hot, [what was left on the ground] melted.
Tako su skupljali svako jutro koliko je kome trebalo za jelo. I kad bi sunce ogrijalo, mÓana bi se rastopila.
22 On the sixth day after they started gathering it, each person was able to gather four quarts/liters, which was twice [as much as they gathered on the other days]. When the leaders of the people came to Moses/me and told him/me [about that],
Onda šestoga dana nakupiše dvostruku količinu hrane - po dva gomera na svakoga. Kad su starješine zajednice došle da izvijeste Mojsija,
23 Moses/I said to them, “This is what Yahweh has commanded: ‘Tomorrow will be a day for you to rest completely. It will be a day dedicated to Yahweh. So today, bake or boil what you will [need for today and for tomorrow]. Whatever is left [this evening], you should put aside and keep it [to eat] tomorrow.’”
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 So they did what Moses/I commanded. What was left over, they kept until the next day. It did not spoil and did not get maggots in it!
Ostave to oni za sutra, kako je Mojsije naredio, i niti se usmrdjelo niti su se crvi pojavili.
25 [On that day], Moses/I said, “Eat today [what you have saved from yesterday], because today is a day dedicated to Yahweh. Today you will not find any of that food outside.
“Jedite to danas”, reče im Mojsije, “jer je ovaj dan subota u čast Jahve; danas nećete naći mÓane na polju.
26 [Every week], you must gather it for six days; but on the seventh day, which will be a day of rest, you will not find any.”
Šest je dana skupljajte, a sedmoga, u subotu, neće je biti.”
27 On the seventh day, some of the people went outside their tents to gather some of that food, but there was none.
Bijaše nekih koji su i sedmoga dana išli da je nakupe, ali ništa ne nađoše.
28 Then Yahweh [told Moses/me to say this to] the people: “How long will you people refuse to do all the things that I tell you?
Zato Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Dokle ćete odbijati da se pokorite mojim zapovijedima i mojim zakonima?
29 Listen! Yahweh has given you a day of rest. So on the sixth day [of each week], he will be giving you enough of this food for two days. Each of you should stay in his tent [and do no work] 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 The Israeli people called this food manna, [which sounds like the words in their language that mean ‘what is it]?’ It looked like small seeds [called] coriander, but it was white, and it tasted like thin wafers/biscuits made with honey.
Dom je Izraelov tu hranu prozvao mÓanom. Bijaše kao zrno korijandra; bijela, a imala je ukus medenog kolačića.
32 Moses/I said, “This is what Yahweh has commanded: ‘You must keep two quarts/liters of it for all future generations, so that they can see the [food that took the place of] bread that I gave to your [ancestors] when I brought them out 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 he/I said to Aaron, “Take a jar, and put two quarts of manna in it. Then put it [in a place] where Yahweh can see it. It is to be kept like that for all future 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 [Many years later], as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me, Aaron put the jar in front of the box [that contained the stone slabs on which] the Ten Commandments [were written].
Kako je Jahve naredio Mojsiju, Aron je stavi pred Svjedočanstvo na čuvanje.
35 The Israeli people were able to eat manna [every day] for 40 years, until they came to the border of Canaan land.
Izraelci su se hranili manom četrdeset godina, sve dok nisu došli u naseljenu zemlju: jeli su manu do dolaska na granicu zemlje kanaanske.
36 (The standard measure [that they used at that time] held 20 quarts/liters.)
Gomer je deseti dio efe.
