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.
E partidos de Elim, toda a congregação dos filhos de Israel veio ao deserto de Sin, que está entre Elim e Sinai, aos quinze dias do mês segundo, depois que sairam da terra do Egito.
2 There in the desert, the Israeli [HYP] people complained to Aaron and Moses/me.
E toda a congregação dos filhos de Israel murmurou contra Moisés e contra Aarão no deserto.
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!”
E os filhos de Israel disseram-lhes: Quem dera que nós morressemos por mão do Senhor na terra do Egito, quando estávamos sentados às panelas da carne, quando comiamos pão até fartar! porque nos tendes tirado a este deserto, para matardes de fome a toda esta multidão.
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.
Então disse o Senhor a Moisés: Eis que vos choverei pão dos céus, e o povo sairá, e colherá cada dia a porção para cada dia, para que eu o prove se anda em minha lei ou não.
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].”
E acontecerá, ao sexto dia, que aparelhem o que colheram: e será dobrado do que colhem cada dia.
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.
Então disse Moisés, e Aarão a todos os filhos de Israel: A tarde sabereis que o Senhor vos tirou da terra do Egito,
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]
E amandã vereis a glória do Senhor, porquanto ouviu as vossas murmurações contra o Senhor: porque quem somos nós, que murmureis contra nós?
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]
Disse mais Moisés: Isso será quando o Senhor à tarde vos der carne para comer, e pela manhã pão a fartar, porquanto o Senhor ouviu as vossas murmurações, com que murmurais contra ele: porque, quem somos nós? As vossas murmurações não são contra nós, mas sim contra o Senhor.
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.’”
Depois disse Moisés a Aarão: Dize a toda a congregação dos filhos de Israel: chegai-vos para diante do Senhor, porque ouviu as vossas murmurações.
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].
E aconteceu que, quando falou Aarão a toda a congregação dos filhos de Israel, e eles se viraram para o deserto, eis que a glória do Senhor apareceu na nuvem.
11 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
E o Senhor falou a Moisés, dizendo:
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].”
Tenho ouvido as murmurações dos filhos de Israel; fala-lhes, dizendo: Entre as duas tardes comereis carne, e pela manhã vos fartareis de pão: e sabereis que eu sou o Senhor vosso Deus.
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.
E aconteceu que à tarde subiram codornizes, e cobriram o arraial: e pela manhã jazia o orvalho ao redor do arraial,
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.
E, alçando-se o orvalho caído, eis que sobre a face do deserto estava uma coisa miúda, redonda, miúda como a geada sobre a terra.
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.
E, vendo-a os filhos de Israel, disseram uns aos outros: Que é isto; porque não sabiam o que era. Disse-lhes pois Moisés: Este é o pão que o Senhor vos deu para comer.
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.’”
Esta é a palavra que o Senhor tem mandado: Colhei dele cada um conforme ao que pode comer, um gomer por cada cabeça, segundo o número das vossas almas; cada um tomará para os que se acharem na sua tenda.
17 So that is what the Israeli people did. Some gathered more and some gathered less.
E os filhos de Israel fizeram assim; e colheram, uns mais e outros menos.
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.
Porém, medindo-o com o gomer, não sobejava ao que colhera muito, nem faltava ao que colhera pouco: cada um colheu tanto quanto podia comer.
19 Moses/I said to them, “Do not leave any of it to eat tomorrow morning!”
E disse-lhes Moisés: ninguém dele deixe para amanhã.
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.
Eles, porém, não deram ouvidos a Moisés, antes alguns deles deixaram dele para a amanhã; e aquele criou bichos, e fedeu; por isso indignou-se Moisés contra eles.
21 Each morning they gathered as much as they needed. But [later], when the sun got hot, [what was left on the ground] melted.
Eles pois o colhiam cada manhã, cada um conforme ao que podia comer; porque, aquentando o sol, derretia-se.
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],
E aconteceu que ao sexto dia colheram pão em dobro, dois gomeres para cada um: e todos os príncipes da congregação vieram, e contaram-no a Moisés.
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.’”
E ele disse-lhes: Isto é o que o Senhor tem dito: Amanhã é repouso, do santo sábado do Senhor: o que quizerdes cozer no forno, cozei-o, e o que quizerdes cozer em água, cozei-o em água; e tudo o que sobejar, para vós ponde em guarda até amanhã.
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!
E guardaram-no até amanhã, como Moisés tinha ordenado: e não fedeu, nem nele houve algum bicho.
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.
Então disse Moisés: Comei-o hoje, porquanto hoje é o sábado do Senhor: hoje não o achareis no campo.
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.”
Seis dias o colhereis, mas o sétimo dia é o sábado; naquele não haverá.
27 On the seventh day, some of the people went outside their tents to gather some of that food, but there was none.
E aconteceu ao sétimo dia, que alguns do povo sairam para colher, mas não o acharam.
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?
Então disse o Senhor a Moisés: Até quando recusareis de guardar os meus mandamentos e as minhas leis?
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!”
Vede, porquanto o Senhor vos deu o sábado, portanto ele no sexto dia vos dá pão para dois dias; cada um fique no seu lugar, que ninguém saia do seu lugar no sétimo dia.
30 So the people rested on the seventh day.
Assim repousou o povo no sétimo dia.
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.
E chamou a casa de Israel o seu nome maná; e era como semente de coentro branco, e o seu sabor como bolos de mel.
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.’”
E disse Moisés: Esta é a palavra que o Senhor tem mandado: Encherás um gomer dele em guarda para as vossas gerações, para que vejam o pão que vos tenho dado a comer neste deserto, quando eu vos tirei da terra do Egito.
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.”
Disse também Moisés a Aarão: Toma um vaso, e mete nele um gomer cheio de maná, e põe-o diante do Senhor, em guarda para as vossas gerações.
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].
Como o Senhor tinha ordenado a Moisés, assim Aarão o pôs diante do testemunho em guarda.
35 The Israeli people were able to eat manna [every day] for 40 years, until they came to the border of Canaan land.
E comeram os filhos de Israel maná quarenta anos, até que entraram em terra habitada: comeram maná até que chegaram aos termos da terra de Canaan.
36 (The standard measure [that they used at that time] held 20 quarts/liters.)
E um gomer é a décima parte do epha.
