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.
Naglakbay ang mga tao mula sa Elim, at ang lahat ng komunidad ng mga Israelita ay nakarating sa ilang ng Sin, na nasa gitna ng Elim at Sinai, sa ikalabinlimang araw ng ikalawang buwan pagkatapos ng kanilang pag-alis sa lupain ng Ehipto.
2 There in the desert, the Israeli [HYP] people complained to Aaron and Moses/me.
Ang buong komunidad ng mga Israelita ay nagreklamo laban kina Moises at Aaron sa ilang.
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!”
Sinabi sa kanila ng mga Israelita, “Kung namatay na lang sana kami sa kamay ni Yahweh sa lupain ng Ehipto nang kami ay nakaupo sa tabi ng mga palayok ng karne at kumakain ng tinapay hanggang sa mabusog. Pagkat dinala ninyo kami palabas dito sa ilang para patayin sa gutom ang aming buong komunidad.”
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.
Pagkatapos sinabi ni Yahweh kay Moises, “Magpapaulan ako ng tinapay mula sa langit para sa inyo. Ang mga tao ay lalabas at magtitipon ng pang isang araw na bahagi sa bawat araw para masubukan ko sila para makita kung sila ay lalakad o hindi sa aking batas.
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].”
Mangyayari na sa ikaanim na araw, na magtitipon sila ng makalawang dami ng kung ano ang tinipon nila sa bawat naunang araw, at lulutuin nila kung ano ang dala nila.”
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.
Pagkatapos ay sinabi nina Moises at Aaron sa lahat ng bayan ng Israel, “Sa gabi ay malalaman ninyong si Yahweh ang siyang nagdala sa inyo palabas mula sa lupain ng Ehipto.
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]
Sa umaga ay makikita ninyo ang kaluwalhatian ni Yahweh, dahil naririnig niya ang inyong pagrereklamo laban sa kaniya. Sino ba kami para kayo ay magreklamo laban sa amin?”
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]
Sinabi rin ni Moises, “Malalaman ninyo ito kapag binigyan kayo ni Yahweh ng karne sa gabi at tinapay sa umaga na sagana—dahil narinig niya ang mga reklamo na sinabi ninyo laban sa kanya. Sino ba si Aaron at ako? Ang inyong mga reklamo ay hindi laban sa amin; ang mga iyon ay laban kay Yahweh.”
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.’”
Sinabi ni Moises kay Aaron, “Sabihin mo sa lahat ng komunidad ng bayan ng Israel, 'Lumapit kayo kay Yahweh, dahil narinig niya ang inyong mga reklamo.'”
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].
Nangyari na habang nagsasalita si Aaron sa buong komunidad ng bayan ng Israel, tumingin sila sa dako ng ilang, at pagmasdan, ang kaluwalhatian ni Yahweh ay lumitaw sa ulap.
11 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Pagkatapos sinabi ni Yahweh kay Moises,
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].”
“Narinig ko ang mga reklamo ng bayan ng Israel. Kausapin mo sila at sabihin, 'Sa gabi ay kakain kayo ng karne, at sa umaga ay mabubusog kayo ng tinapay. Pagkatapos malalaman ninyong ako ay si Yahweh, na inyong Diyos.'”
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.
Nangyari sa gabi na may dumating na mga pugo at natabunan ang kampo. Sa umaga ang hamog ay nalatag sa palibot ng kampo.
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.
Pagkawala ng hamog, doon sa ibabaw ng ilang ay may mga manipis na mumunting piraso na parang namuong hamog sa lupa.
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.
Nang makita iyon ng bayan ng Israel, sinabi nila sa isa't isa, “Ano ito?” Hindi nila alam kung ano iyon. Sinabi ni Moises sa kanila, “Iyan ang tinapay na bigay ni Yahweh sa inyo para kainin.
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.’”
Ito ang utos na ibinigay ni Yahweh sa inyo: 'Kayo ay dapat magtipon, bawat isa sa inyo, ng dami na kailangan ninyong kainin, isang omer sa bawat tao mula sa bilang ng inyong mga tao. Ganito ninyo titipunin iyon: Magtipon ng tama lang para kainin ng bawat taong naninirahan sa inyong tolda.'”
17 So that is what the Israeli people did. Some gathered more and some gathered less.
Ginawa iyon ng bayan ng Israel. Ang ilan ay nagtipon ng mas marami, ang ilan ay nagtipon ng mas kaunti.
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.
Nang sukatin nila iyon sa sukat ng omer, ang mga nagtipon ng mas marami ay walang anumang natira, ang mga nagtipon ng mas kaunti ay hindi nagkulang. Bawat tao ay nagtipon ng tama lamang para mapunan ang kanilang pangangailangan.
19 Moses/I said to them, “Do not leave any of it to eat tomorrow morning!”
Pagkatapos sinabi ni Moises sa kanila, “Walang isa sa inyo ang dapat magtira ng anuman niyon hanggang umaga.
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.
“Pero hindi sila nakinig kay Moises. Ang ilan sa kanila ay nagtira ng kaunti nito hanggang umaga, pero ito ay inuod at bumaho. Kaya nagalit sa kanila si Moises.
21 Each morning they gathered as much as they needed. But [later], when the sun got hot, [what was left on the ground] melted.
Sila ay nagtipon niyon kada umaga. Bawat tao ay nagtipon ng tama lang kainin para sa araw na iyon. Nang uminit ang araw, ito ay natunaw.
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],
Nangyari na sa ikaanim na araw nagtipon sila ng dobleng dami ng tinapay, dalawang omer para sa bawat tao. Lahat ng mga pinuno ng komunidad ay pumunta at sinabi ito kay Moises.
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.’”
Sinabi niya sa kanila, “Ito ang sinabi ni Yahweh: 'Bukas ay isang taimtim na pamamahinga, isang banal na Araw ng Pamamahinga para sa karangalan ni Yahweh. Maghurno kayo ng gusto ninyong hurnuin at maglaga ng gusto ninyong ilaga. Ang lahat nang matira, itabi ninyo para sa inyong mga sarili hanggang umaga.'”
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!
Kaya itinabi nila ito hanggang umaga, katulad ng tagubilin ni Moises. Ito ay hindi bumaho ni nagkaroon ng anumang uod.
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.
Sinabi ni Moises, “Kainin ang pagkaing ito ngayon, pagkat ngayon ay isang araw na inilaan bilang Araw ng Pamamahinga para parangalan si Yahweh. Ngayon hindi kayo makakahanap nito sa mga bukid.
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.”
Magtitipon kayo nito sa loob ng anim na araw, pero ang ikapitong araw ay Araw ng Pamamahinga. Sa Araw ng Pamamahinga ay walang manna.”
27 On the seventh day, some of the people went outside their tents to gather some of that food, but there was none.
Nangyari na sa ikapitong araw may ilan sa mga tao ang lumabas para magtipon ng manna, pero wala silang nahanap.
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?
Pagkatapos sinabi ni Yahweh kay Moises, “Gaano katagal kayong tatangging sundin ang aking mga kautusan at mga batas?
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!”
Tingnan ninyo, Ako, si Yahweh ang nagbigay ng Araw ng Pamamahinga sa inyo. Kaya sa ikaanim na araw ay binibigyan ko kayo ng tinapay para sa dalawang araw. Bawat isa sa inyo ay dapat manatili sa kanyang sariling lugar; walang dapat lumabas mula sa kaniyang lugar sa ikapitong araw.”
30 So the people rested on the seventh day.
Kaya nagpahinga ang mga tao sa ikapitong araw.
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.
Tinawag ng mga tao ng Israel ang pagkaing iyon na “manna.” Ito ay maputi tulad ng buto ng kulantro at ang lasa ay parang apa na ginawang may pulot.
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.’”
Sinabi ni Moises, “Ito ang inutos ni Yahweh: 'Hayaang itago ang isang omer na manna para sa kabuuan ng salinlahi ng inyong bayan para ang inyong mga kaapu-apuhan ay maaring makita ang tinapay na pinakain ko sa inyo sa ilang, matapos na ilabas ko kayo mula sa lupain ng Ehipto.'”
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.”
Sinabi ni Moises kay Aaron, “Kumuha ka ng palayok at maglagay ng isang omer ng manna sa loob nito. Panatilihin ito sa harap ni Yahweh para itago para sa buong salinlahi ng bayan.
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].
Katulad ng inutos ni Yahweh kay Moises, itinago iyon ni Aaron katabi ng mga kautusang tipan sa loob ng kaban.
35 The Israeli people were able to eat manna [every day] for 40 years, until they came to the border of Canaan land.
Kumain ng manna ang bayan ng Israel sa loob ng apatnapung taon hanggang sa makarating sila sa lupaing may naninirahan. Kumain sila nito hanggang sa makarating sila sa mga hangganan ng lupain ng Canaan.
36 (The standard measure [that they used at that time] held 20 quarts/liters.)
Ngayon ang omer ay ikasampung bahagi ng epa.
