اَلْعَدَد 11

١ 1 وَكَانَ ٱلشَّعْبُ كَأَنَّهُمْ يَشْتَكُونَ شَرًّا فِي أُذُنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ. وَسَمِعَ ٱلرَّبُّ فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُهُ، فَٱشْتَعَلَتْ فِيهِمْ نَارُ ٱلرَّبِّ وَأَحْرَقَتْ فِي طَرَفِ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ.

When the people became murmurers, it displeased the Lord: and the Lord heard it, therefore his wrath was kindled, and the fire of the Lord burnt among them, and consumed the vtmost parte of the hoste.

٢ 2 فَصَرَخَ ٱلشَّعْبُ إِلَى مُوسَى، فَصَلَّى مُوسَى إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فَخَمَدَتِ ٱلنَّارُ.

Then the people cryed vnto Moses: and when Moses praied vnto the Lord, the fire was quenched.

٣ 3 فَدُعِيَ ٱسْمُ ذَلِكَ ٱلْمَوْضِعِ «تَبْعِيرَةَ» لِأَنَّ نَارَ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱشْتَعَلَتْ فِيهِمْ.

And he called the name of that place Taberah, because the fire of the Lord burnt among them.

٤ 4 وَٱللَّفِيفُ ٱلَّذِي فِي وَسَطِهِمِ ٱشْتَهَى شَهْوَةً. فَعَادَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ أَيْضًا وَبَكَوْا وَقَالُوا: «مَنْ يُطْعِمُنَا لَحْمًا؟

And a nomber of people that was amog them, fell a lusting, and turned away, and the children of Israel also wept, and saide, Who shall giue vs flesh to eate?

٥ 5 قَدْ تَذَكَّرْنَا ٱلسَّمَكَ ٱلَّذِي كُنَّا نَأْكُلُهُ فِي مِصْرَ مَجَّانًا، وَٱلْقِثَّاءَ وَٱلْبَطِّيخَ وَٱلْكُرَّاثَ وَٱلْبَصَلَ وَٱلثُّومَ.

We remember the fish which we did eat in Egypt for nought, the cucumbers, and the pepons, and the leekes, and the onions, and the garleke.

٦ 6 وَٱلْآنَ قَدْ يَبِسَتْ أَنْفُسُنَا. لَيْسَ شَيْءٌ غَيْرَ أَنَّ أَعْيُنَنَا إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْمَنِّ!».

But now our soule is dryed away, we can see nothing but this Man.

٧ 7 وَأَمَّا ٱلْمَنُّ فَكَانَ كَبِزْرِ ٱلْكُزْبَرَةِ، وَمَنْظَرُهُ كَمَنْظَرِ ٱلْمُقْلِ.

(The Man also was as coriander seede, and his colour like the colour of bdelium.

٨ 8 كَانَ ٱلشَّعْبُ يَطُوفُونَ لِيَلْتَقِطُوهُ، ثُمَّ يَطْحَنُونَهُ بِٱلرَّحَى أَوْ يَدُقُّونَهُ فِي ٱلْهَاوَنِ وَيَطْبُخُونَهُ فِي ٱلْقُدُورِ وَيَعْمَلُونَهُ مَلَّاتٍ. وَكَانَ طَعْمُهُ كَطَعْمِ قَطَائِفَ بِزَيْتٍ.

The people went about and gathered it, and ground it in milles, or beat it in morters, and baked it in a cauldron, and made cakes of it, and the taste of it was like vnto the taste of fresh oyle.

٩ 9 وَمَتَى نَزَلَ ٱلنَّدَى عَلَى ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ لَيْلًا كَانَ يَنْزِلُ ٱلْمَنُّ مَعَهُ.

And when the dewe fell downe vpon the hoste in the night, the Man fell with it)

١٠ 10 فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ مُوسَى ٱلشَّعْبَ يَبْكُونَ بِعَشَائِرِهِمْ، كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ فِي بَابِ خَيْمَتِهِ، وَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ جِدًّا، سَاءَ ذَلِكَ فِي عَيْنَيْ مُوسَى.

Then Moses heard the people weepe throughout their families, euery man in the doore of his tent, and the wrath of the Lord was grieuously kindled: also Moses was grieued.

١١ 11 فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِلرَّبِّ: «لِمَاذَا أَسَأْتَ إِلَى عَبْدِكَ؟ وَلِمَاذَا لَمْ أَجِدْ نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيْكَ حَتَّى أَنَّكَ وَضَعْتَ ثِقْلَ جَمِيعِ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ عَلَيَّ؟

And Moses saide vnto the Lord, Wherefore hast thou vexed thy seruant? and why haue I not found fauour in thy sight, seeing thou hast put the charge of al this people vpon mee?

١٢ 12 أَلَعَلِّي حَبِلْتُ بِجَمِيعِ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ؟ أَوْ لَعَلِّي وَلَدْتُهُ، حَتَّى تَقُولَ لِي ٱحْمِلْهُ فِي حِضْنِكَ كَمَا يَحْمِلُ ٱلْمُرَبِّي ٱلرَّضِيعَ، إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي حَلَفْتَ لِآبَائِهِ؟

Haue I conceiued al this people? or haue I begotte them, that thou shouldest say vnto me, Cary them in thy bosome (as a nurse beareth the sucking childe) vnto the lande, for the which thou swarest vnto their fathers?

١٣ 13 مِنْ أَيْنَ لِي لَحْمٌ حَتَّى أُعْطِيَ جَمِيعَ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ؟ لِأَنَّهُمْ يَبْكُونَ عَلَيَّ قَائِلِينَ: أَعْطِنَا لَحْمًا لِنَأْكُلَ.

Where should I haue flesh to giue vnto al this people? for they weepe vnto me, saying, Giue vs flesh that we may eate.

١٤ 14 لَا أَقْدِرُ أَنَا وَحْدِي أَنْ أَحْمِلَ جَمِيعَ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ لِأَنَّهُ ثَقِيلٌ عَلَيَّ.

I am not able to beare al this people alone, for it is too heauie for me.

١٥ 15 فَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَفْعَلُ بِي هَكَذَا، فَٱقْتُلْنِي قَتْلًا إِنْ وَجَدْتُ نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيْكَ، فَلَا أَرَى بَلِيَّتِي».

Therefore if thou deale thus with mee, I pray thee, if I haue founde fauour in thy sight, kill me, that I behold not my miserie.

١٦ 16 فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «ٱجْمَعْ إِلَيَّ سَبْعِينَ رَجُلًا مِنْ شُيُوخِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُمْ شُيُوخُ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَعُرَفَاؤُهُ، وَأَقْبِلْ بِهِمْ إِلَى خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ فَيَقِفُوا هُنَاكَ مَعَكَ.

Then the Lord said vnto Moses, Gather vnto me seuetie men of ye Elders of Israel, whome thou knowest, that they are the Elders of the people, and gouernonrs ouer them, and bring them vnto the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and let them stand there with thee,

١٧ 17 فَأَنْزِلَ أَنَا وَأَتَكَلَّمَ مَعَكَ هُنَاكَ، وَآخُذَ مِنَ ٱلرُّوحِ ٱلَّذِي عَلَيْكَ وَأَضَعَ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَيَحْمِلُونَ مَعَكَ ثِقْلَ ٱلشَّعْبِ، فَلَا تَحْمِلُ أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ.

And I will come downe, and talke with thee there, and take of the Spirite, which is vpon thee, and put vpon them, and they shall beare the burthen of the people with thee: so thou shalt not beare it alone.

١٨ 18 وَلِلشَّعْبِ تَقُولُ: تَقَدَّسُوا لِلْغَدِ فَتَأْكُلُوا لَحْمًا، لِأَنَّكُمْ قَدْ بَكَيْتُمْ فِي أُذُنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلِينَ: مَنْ يُطْعِمُنَا لَحْمًا؟ إِنَّهُ كَانَ لَنَا خَيْرٌ فِي مِصْرَ. فَيُعْطِيكُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ لَحْمًا فَتَأْكُلُونَ.

Furthermore thou shalt saye vnto the people, Bee sanctified against to morowe, and yee shall eate flesh: for you haue wept in the eares of the Lord, saying, Who shall giue vs flesh to eate? for we were better in Egypt: therefore the Lord will giue you flesh, and ye shall eate.

١٩ 19 تَأْكُلُونَ لَا يَوْمًا وَاحِدًا، وَلَا يَوْمَيْنِ، وَلَا خَمْسَةَ أَيَّامٍ، وَلَا عَشَرَةَ أَيَّامٍ، وَلَا عِشْرِينَ يَوْمًا،

Ye shall not eat one day nor two daies, nor fiue daies, neither ten daies, nor twentie dayes,

٢٠ 20 بَلْ شَهْرًا مِنَ ٱلزَّمَانِ، حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ مِنْ مَنَاخِرِكُمْ، وَيَصِيرَ لَكُمْ كَرَاهَةً، لِأَنَّكُمْ رَفَضْتُمُ ٱلرَّبَّ ٱلَّذِي فِي وَسَطِكُمْ وَبَكَيْتُمْ أَمَامَهُ قَائِلِينَ: لِمَاذَا خَرَجْنَا مِنْ مِصْرَ؟»

But a whole moneth, vntill it come out at your nostrels, and bee lothesome vnto you, because ye haue contemned the Lord, which is among you, and haue wept before him, saying, Why came we hither out of Egypt?

٢١ 21 فَقَالَ مُوسَى: «سِتُّ مِئَةِ أَلْفِ مَاشٍ هُوَ ٱلشَّعْبُ ٱلَّذِي أَنَا فِي وَسَطِهِ، وَأَنْتَ قَدْ قُلْتَ: أُعْطِيهِمْ لَحْمًا لِيَأْكُلُوا شَهْرًا مِنَ ٱلزَّمَانِ.

And Moses saide, Six hundreth thousande footemen are there of the people, among whom I am: and thou saiest, I will giue them flesh, that they may eate a moneth long.

٢٢ 22 أَيُذْبَحُ لَهُمْ غَنَمٌ وَبَقَرٌ لِيَكْفِيَهُمْ؟ أَمْ يُجْمَعُ لَهُمْ كُلُّ سَمَكِ ٱلْبَحْرِ لِيَكْفِيَهُمْ؟»

Shall the sheepe and the beeues be slaine for them, to finde them? either shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them to suffice them?

٢٣ 23 فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «هَلْ تَقْصُرُ يَدُ ٱلرَّبِّ؟ ٱلْآنَ تَرَى أَيُوافِيكَ كَلَامِي أَمْ لَا».

And the Lord saide vnto Moses, Is the Lordes hand shortened? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to passe vnto thee, or no.

٢٤ 24 فَخَرَجَ مُوسَى وَكَلَّمَ ٱلشَّعْبَ بِكَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَجَمَعَ سَبْعِينَ رَجُلًا مِنْ شُيُوخِ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَأَوْقَفَهُمْ حَوَالَيِ ٱلْخَيْمَةِ.

So Moses went out, and told the people the wordes of the Lord, and gathered seuentie men of the Elders of the people, and set them round about the Tabernacle.

٢٥ 25 فَنَزَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ فِي سَحَابَةٍ وَتَكَلَّمَ مَعَهُ، وَأَخَذَ مِنَ ٱلرُّوحِ ٱلَّذِي عَلَيْهِ وَجَعَلَ عَلَى ٱلسَّبْعِينَ رَجُلًا ٱلشُّيُوخَ. فَلَمَّا حَلَّتْ عَلَيْهِمِ ٱلرُّوحُ تَنَبَّأُوا، وَلَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَزِيدُوا.

Then the Lord came downe in a cloude, and spake vnto him, and tooke of the Spirit that was vpon him, and put it vpon the seuentie Ancient men: and when the Spirit rested vpon them, then they prophecied, and did not cease.

٢٦ 26 وَبَقِيَ رَجُلَانِ فِي ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ، ٱسْمُ ٱلْوَاحِدِ أَلْدَادُ، وَٱسْمُ ٱلْآخَرِ مِيدَادُ، فَحَلَّ عَلَيْهِمَا ٱلرُّوحُ. وَكَانَا مِنَ ٱلْمَكْتُوبِينَ، لَكِنَّهُمَا لَمْ يَخْرُجَا إِلَى ٱلْخَيْمَةِ، فَتَنَبَّآ فِي ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ.

But there remained two of the men in the hoste: the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad, and the Spirit rested vpon them, (for they were of them that were written, and went not out vnto the Tabernacle) and they prophecied in the hoste.

٢٧ 27 فَرَكَضَ غُلَامٌ وَأَخْبَرَ مُوسَى وَقَالَ: «أَلْدَادُ وَمِيدَادُ يَتَنَبَّآنِ فِي ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ».

Then there ranne a yong man, and tolde Moses, and saide, Eldad and Medad doe prophesie in the hoste.

٢٨ 28 فَأَجَابَ يَشُوعُ بْنُ نُونَ خَادِمُ مُوسَى مِنْ حَدَاثَتِهِ وَقَالَ: «يَا سَيِّدِي مُوسَى، ٱرْدَعْهُمَا!»

And Ioshua the sonne of Nun the seruant of Moses one of his yong men answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them.

٢٩ 29 فَقَالَ لَهُ مُوسَى: «هَلْ تَغَارُ أَنْتَ لِي؟ يَا لَيْتَ كُلَّ شَعْبِ ٱلرَّبِّ كَانُوا أَنْبِيَاءَ إِذَا جَعَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ رُوحَهُ عَلَيْهِمْ».

But Moses saide vnto him, Enuiest thou for my sake? yea, would God that all the Lordes people were Prophets, and that the Lord woulde put his Spirit vpon them.

٣٠ 30 ثُمَّ ٱنْحَازَ مُوسَى إِلَى ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ هُوَ وَشُيُوخُ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

And Moses returned into the hoste, he and the Elders of Israel.

٣١ 31 فَخَرَجَتْ رِيحٌ مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَسَاقَتْ سَلْوَى مِنَ ٱلْبَحْرِ وَأَلْقَتْهَا عَلَى ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ، نَحْوَ مَسِيرَةِ يَوْمٍ مِنْ هُنَا وَمَسِيرَةِ يَوْمٍ مِنْ هُنَاكَ، حَوَالَيِ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ، وَنَحْوَ ذِرَاعَيْنِ فَوْقَ وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

Then there went foorth a winde from the Lord, and brought quailes from the Sea, and let them fall vpon the campe, a dayes iourney on this side, and a dayes iourney on the other side, round about the hoste, and they were about two cubites aboue the earth.

٣٢ 32 فَقَامَ ٱلشَّعْبُ كُلَّ ذَلِكَ ٱلنَّهَارِ، وَكُلَّ ٱللَّيْلِ وَكُلَّ يَوْمِ ٱلْغَدِ وَجَمَعُوا ٱلسَّلْوَى. ٱلَّذِي قَلَّلَ جَمَعَ عَشَرَةَ حَوَامِرَ. وَسَطَّحُوهَا لَهُمْ مَسَاطِحَ حَوَالَيِ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ.

Then the people arose, al that day, and all the night, and all the next day, and gathered the quailes: he that gathered the least, gathered ten Homers full, and they spred them abroade for their vse round about the hoste.

٣٣ 33 وَإِذْ كَانَ ٱللَّحْمُ بَعْدُ بَيْنَ أَسْنَانِهِمْ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْقَطِعَ، حَمِيَ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى ٱلشَّعْبِ، وَضَرَبَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلشَّعْبَ ضَرْبَةً عَظِيمَةً جِدًّا.

While the flesh was yet betweene their teeth, before it was chewed, euen the wrath of the Lord was kindled against the people, and the Lord smote the people with an exceeding great plague.

٣٤ 34 فَدُعِيَ ٱسْمُ ذَلِكَ ٱلْمَوْضِعِ «قَبَرُوتَ هَتَّأَوَةَ» لِأَنَّهُمْ هُنَاكَ دَفَنُوا ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱشْتَهَوْا.

So the name of the place was called, Kibroth-hattaauah: for there they buried the people that fell a lusting.

٣٥ 35 وَمِنْ قَبَرُوتَ هَتَّأَوَةَ ٱرْتَحَلَ ٱلشَّعْبُ إِلَى حَضَيْرُوتَ، فَكَانُوا فِي حَضَيْرُوتَ.

From Kibroth-hattaauah ye people tooke their iourney to Hazeroth, and abode at Hazeroth.
