< اَلْعَدَد 14 >

فَرَفَعَتْ كُلُّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ صَوْتَهَا وَصَرَخَتْ، وَبَكَى ٱلشَّعْبُ تِلْكَ ٱللَّيْلَةَ. ١ 1
And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried, and the people wept that night.
وَتَذَمَّرَ عَلَى مُوسَى وَعَلَى هَارُونَ جَمِيعُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَقَالَ لَهُمَا كُلُّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ: «لَيْتَنَا مُتْنَا فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، أَوْ لَيْتَنَا مُتْنَا فِي هَذَا ٱلْقَفْرِ! ٢ 2
And all the sons of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron. And the whole congregation said to them, Would that we had died in the land of Egypt, or would that we had died in this wilderness!
وَلِمَاذَا أَتَى بِنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَى هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ لِنَسْقُطَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ؟ تَصِيرُ نِسَاؤُنَا وَأَطْفَالُنَا غَنِيمَةً. أَلَيْسَ خَيْرًا لَنَا أَنْ نَرْجِعَ إِلَى مِصْرَ؟» ٣ 3
And why does Jehovah bring us to this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will be a prey. Were it not better for us to return into Egypt?
فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: «نُقِيمُ رَئِيسًا وَنَرْجِعُ إِلَى مِصْرَ». ٤ 4
And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.
فَسَقَطَ مُوسَى وَهَارُونُ عَلَى وَجْهَيْهِمَا أَمَامَ كُلِّ مَعْشَرِ جَمَاعَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٥ 5
Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the sons of Israel.
وَيَشُوعُ بْنُ نُونَ وَكَالِبُ بْنُ يَفُنَّةَ، مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ تَجَسَّسُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ، مَزَّقَا ثِيَابَهُمَا ٦ 6
And Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were of those who spied out the land, tore their clothes.
وَكَلَّمَا كُلَّ جَمَاعَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلَيْنِ: «ٱلْأَرْضُ ٱلَّتِي مَرَرْنَا فِيهَا لِنَتَجَسَّسَهَا ٱلأَرْضُ جَيِّدَةٌ جِدًّا جِدًّا. ٧ 7
And they spoke to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceedingly good land.
إِنْ سُرَّ بِنَا ٱلرَّبُّ يُدْخِلْنَا إِلَى هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَيُعْطِينَا إِيَّاهَا، أَرْضًا تَفِيضُ لَبَنًا وَعَسَلًا. ٨ 8
If Jehovah delights in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it to us, a land which flows with milk and honey.
إِنَّمَا لَا تَتَمَرَّدُوا عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ، وَلَا تَخَافُوا مِنْ شَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ لِأَنَّهُمْ خُبْزُنَا. قَدْ زَالَ عَنْهُمْ ظِلُّهُمْ، وَٱلرَّبُّ مَعَنَا. لَا تَخَافُوهُمْ». ٩ 9
Only do not rebel against Jehovah, neither fear ye the people of the land, for they are bread for us. Their defense is removed from over them, and Jehovah is with us. Fear them not.
وَلَكِنْ قَالَ كُلُّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ أَنْ يُرْجَمَا بِٱلْحِجَارَةِ. ثُمَّ ظَهَرَ مَجْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ لِكُلِّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. ١٠ 10
But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And the glory of Jehovah appeared in the tent of meeting to all the sons of Israel.
وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «حَتَّى مَتَى يُهِينُنِي هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبُ؟ وَحَتَّى مَتَى لَا يُصَدِّقُونَنِي بِجَمِيعِ ٱلْآيَاتِ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلْتُ فِي وَسَطِهِمْ؟ ١١ 11
And Jehovah said to Moses, How long will this people despise me? And how long will they not believe in me, for all the signs which I have wrought among them?
إِنِّي أَضْرِبُهُمْ بِٱلْوَبَإِ وَأُبِيدُهُمْ، وَأُصَيِّرُكَ شَعْبًا أَكْبَرَ وَأَعْظَمَ مِنْهُمْ». ١٢ 12
I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a nation greater and mightier than they.
فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِلرَّبِّ: «فَيَسْمَعُ ٱلْمِصْرِيُّونَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَصْعَدْتَ بِقُوَّتِكَ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبَ مِنْ وَسَطِهِمْ، ١٣ 13
And Moses said to Jehovah, Then the Egyptians will hear it, for thou brought up this people in thy might from among them,
وَيَقُولُونَ لِسُكَّانِ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّذِينَ قَدْ سَمِعُوا أَنَّكَ يَا رَبُّ فِي وَسَطِ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ، ٱلَّذِينَ أَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ قَدْ ظَهَرْتَ لَهُمْ عَيْنًا لِعَيْنٍ، وَسَحَابَتُكَ وَاقِفَةٌ عَلَيْهِمْ، وَأَنْتَ سَائِرٌ أَمَامَهُمْ بِعَمُودِ سَحَابٍ نَهَارًا وَبِعَمُودِ نَارٍ لَيْلًا. ١٤ 14
and they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have heard that thou Jehovah are in the midst of this people, for thou Jehovah are seen face to face, and thy cloud stands over them, and thou go before them, in a pillar of cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night.
فَإِنْ قَتَلْتَ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبَ كَرَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ، يَتَكَلَّمُ ٱلشُّعُوبُ ٱلَّذِينَ سَمِعُوا بِخَبَرِكَ قَائِلِينَ: ١٥ 15
Now if thou shall kill this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying,
لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ لَمْ يَقْدِرْ أَنْ يُدْخِلَ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي حَلَفَ لَهُمْ، قَتَلَهُمْ فِي ٱلْقَفْرِ. ١٦ 16
Because Jehovah was not able to bring this people into the land which he swore to them, therefore he has slain them in the wilderness.
فَٱلْآنَ لِتَعْظُمْ قُدْرَةُ سَيِّدِي كَمَا تَكَلَّمْتَ قَائِلًا: ١٧ 17
And now, I pray thee, let the power of the Lord be great, according as thou have spoken, saying,
ٱلرَّبُّ طَوِيلُ ٱلرُّوحِ كَثِيرُ ٱلْإِحْسَانِ، يَغْفِرُ ٱلذَّنْبَ وَٱلسَّيِّئَةَ، لَكِنَّهُ لَا يُبْرِئُ. بَلْ يَجْعَلُ ذَنْبَ ٱلْآبَاءِ عَلَى ٱلْأَبْنَاءِ إِلَى ٱلْجِيلِ ٱلثَّالِثِ وَٱلرَّابِعِ. ١٨ 18
Jehovah is slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and that will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons, upon the third and upon the fourth generation.
اِصْفَحْ عَنْ ذَنْبِ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ كَعَظَمَةِ نِعْمَتِكَ، وَكَمَا غَفَرْتَ لِهَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ مِنْ مِصْرَ إِلَى هَهُنَا». ١٩ 19
Pardon, I pray thee, the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of thy loving kindness, and according as thou have forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.
فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «قَدْ صَفَحْتُ حَسَبَ قَوْلِكَ. ٢٠ 20
And Jehovah said, I have pardoned according to thy word,
وَلَكِنْ حَيٌّ أَنَا فَتُمْلَأُ كُلُّ ٱلْأَرْضِ مِنْ مَجْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ، ٢١ 21
but in very deed, as I live, and as all the earth shall be filled with the glory of Jehovah,
إِنَّ جَمِيعَ ٱلرِّجَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ رَأَوْا مَجْدِي وَآيَاتِي ٱلَّتِي عَمِلْتُهَا فِي مِصْرَ وَفِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، وَجَرَّبُونِي ٱلْآنَ عَشَرَ مَرَّاتٍ، وَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا لِقَوْلِي، ٢٢ 22
because all those men who have seen my glory, and my signs, which I wrought in Egypt and in the wilderness, yet have challenged me these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice,
لَنْ يَرَوْا ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي حَلَفْتُ لِآبَائِهِمْ. وَجَمِيعُ ٱلَّذِينَ أَهَانُونِي لَا يَرَوْنَهَا. ٢٣ 23
surely they shall not see the land which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any of them who despised me see it.
وَأَمَّا عَبْدِي كَالِبُ فَمِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُ كَانَتْ مَعَهُ رُوحٌ أُخْرَى، وَقَدِ ٱتَّبَعَنِي تَمَامًا، أُدْخِلُهُ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي ذَهَبَ إِلَيْهَا، وَزَرْعُهُ يَرِثُهَا. ٢٤ 24
But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and has followed me fully, him will I bring into the land into which he went, and his seed shall possess it.
وَإِذِ ٱلْعَمَالِقَةُ وَٱلْكَنْعَانِيُّونَ سَاكِنُونَ فِي ٱلْوَادِي، فَٱنْصَرِفُوا غَدًا وَٱرْتَحِلُوا إِلَى ٱلْقَفْرِ فِي طَرِيقِ بَحْرِ سُوفَ». ٢٥ 25
Now the Amalekite and the Canaanite dwell in the valley. Tomorrow turn ye, and get you into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea.
وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ قَائِلًا: ٢٦ 26
And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
«حَتَّى مَتَى أَغْفِرُ لِهَذِهِ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ ٱلشِّرِّيرَةِ ٱلْمُتَذَمِّرَةِ عَلَيَّ؟ قَدْ سَمِعْتُ تَذَمُّرَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِي يَتَذَمَّرُونَهُ عَلَيَّ. ٢٧ 27
How long shall I bear with this evil congregation that murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the sons of Israel, which they murmur against me.
قُلْ لَهُمْ: حَيٌّ أَنَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، لَأَفْعَلَنَّ بِكُمْ كَمَا تَكَلَّمْتُمْ فِي أُذُنَيَّ. ٢٨ 28
Say to them, As I live, says Jehovah, surely as ye have spoken in my ears, so will I do to you.
فِي هَذَا ٱلْقَفْرِ تَسْقُطُ جُثَثُكُمْ، جَمِيعُ ٱلْمَعْدُودِينَ مِنْكُمْ حَسَبَ عَدَدِكُمْ مِنِ ٱبْنِ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً فَصَاعِدًا ٱلَّذِينَ تَذَمَّرُوا عَلَيَّ. ٢٩ 29
Your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness. And all who were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, who have murmured against me,
لَنْ تَدْخُلُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي رَفَعْتُ يَدِي لِأُسْكِنَنَّكُمْ فِيهَا، مَا عَدَا كَالِبَ بْنَ يَفُنَّةَ وَيَشُوعَ بْنَ نُونٍ. ٣٠ 30
surely ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I swore that I would make you dwell in it, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
وَأَمَّا أَطْفَالُكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ قُلْتُمْ يَكُونُونَ غَنِيمَةً فَإِنِّي سَأُدْخِلُهُمْ، فَيَعْرِفُونَ ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي ٱحْتَقَرْتُمُوهَا. ٣١ 31
But your little ones, that ye said would be a prey, them I will bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have rejected.
فَجُثَثُكُمْ أَنْتُمْ تَسْقُطُ فِي هَذَا ٱلْقَفْرِ، ٣٢ 32
But as for you, your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness.
وَبَنُوكُمْ يَكُونُونَ رُعَاةً فِي ٱلْقَفْرِ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً، وَيَحْمِلُونَ فُجُورَكُمْ حَتَّى تَفْنَى جُثَثُكُمْ فِي ٱلْقَفْرِ. ٣٣ 33
And your sons shall be wanderers in the wilderness forty years, and shall bear your whoredoms, until your dead bodies be consumed in the wilderness.
كَعَدَدِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلَّتِي تَجَسَّسْتُمْ فِيهَا ٱلْأَرْضَ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا، لِلسَّنَةِ يَوْمٌ. تَحْمِلُونَ ذُنُوبَكُمْ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً فَتَعْرِفُونَ ٱبْتِعَادِي. ٣٤ 34
After the number of the days in which ye spied out the land, even forty days, for every day a year, ye shall bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my alienation.
أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ قَدْ تَكَلَّمْتُ. لَأَفْعَلَنَّ هَذَا بِكُلِّ هَذِهِ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ ٱلشِّرِّيرَةِ ٱلْمُتَّفِقَةِ عَلَيَّ. فِي هَذَا ٱلْقَفْرِ يَفْنَوْنَ، وَفِيهِ يَمُوتُونَ». ٣٥ 35
I, Jehovah, have spoken, surely I will do this to all this evil congregation that are gathered together against me. In this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.
أَمَّا ٱلرِّجَالُ ٱلَّذِينَ أَرْسَلَهُمْ مُوسَى لِيَتَجَسَّسُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ، وَرَجَعُوا وَسَجَّسُوا عَلَيْهِ كُلَّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ بِإِشَاعَةِ ٱلْمَذَمَّةِ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، ٣٦ 36
And the men, whom Moses sent to spy out the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him by bringing up an evil report against the land,
فَمَاتَ ٱلرِّجَالُ ٱلَّذِينَ أَشَاعُوا ٱلْمَذَمَّةَ ٱلرَّدِيئَةَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ بِٱلْوَبَإِ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ. ٣٧ 37
even those men who brought up an evil report of the land, died by the plague before Jehovah.
وَأَمَّا يَشُوعُ بْنُ نُونَ وَكَالِبُ بْنُ يَفُنَّةَ، مِنْ أُولَئِكَ ٱلرِّجَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ ذَهَبُوا لِيَتَجَسَّسُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ، فَعَاشَا. ٣٨ 38
But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, remained alive of those men who went to spy out the land.
وَلَمَّا تَكَلَّمَ مُوسَى بِهَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ إِلَى جَمِيعِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بَكَى ٱلشَّعْبُ جِدًّا. ٣٩ 39
And Moses told these words to all the sons of Israel, and the people mourned greatly.
ثُمَّ بَكَّرُوا صَبَاحًا وَصَعِدُوا إِلَى رَأْسِ ٱلْجَبَلِ قَائِلِينَ: «هُوَذَا نَحْنُ! نَصْعَدُ إِلَى ٱلْمَوْضِعِ ٱلَّذِي قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْهُ، فَإِنَّنَا قَدْ أَخْطَأْنَا». ٤٠ 40
And they rose up early in the morning, and got up to the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we are here, and will go up to the place which Jehovah has promised, for we have sinned.
فَقَالَ مُوسَى: «لِمَاذَا تَتَجَاوَزُونَ قَوْلَ ٱلرَّبِّ؟ فَهَذَا لَا يَنْجَحُ. ٤١ 41
And Moses said, Why do ye now transgress the commandment of Jehovah, seeing it shall not prosper?
لَا تَصْعَدُوا، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ لَيْسَ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ لِئَلَّا تَنْهَزِمُوا أَمَامَ أَعْدَائِكُمْ. ٤٢ 42
Do not go up, for Jehovah is not among you, that ye be not smitten down before your enemies.
لِأَنَّ ٱلْعَمَالِقَةَ وَٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ هُنَاكَ قُدَّامَكُمْ تَسْقُطُونَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ. إِنَّكُمْ قَدِ ٱرْتَدَدْتُمْ عَنِ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَٱلرَّبُّ لَا يَكُونُ مَعَكُمْ». ٤٣ 43
For there the Amalekite and the Canaanite are before you, and ye shall fall by the sword. Because ye have turned back from following Jehovah, therefore Jehovah will not be with you.
لَكِنَّهُمْ تَجَبَّرُوا وَصَعِدُوا إِلَى رَأْسِ ٱلْجَبَلِ. وَأَمَّا تَابُوتُ عَهْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَمُوسَى فَلَمْ يَبْرَحَا مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ. ٤٤ 44
But they presumed to go up to the top of the mountain, nevertheless the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and Moses, did not depart out of the camp.
فَنَزَلَ ٱلْعَمَالِقَةُ وَٱلْكَنْعَانِيُّونَ ٱلسَّاكِنُونَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْجَبَلِ وَضَرَبُوهُمْ وَكَسَّرُوهُمْ إِلَى حُرْمَةَ. ٤٥ 45
Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites who dwelt in that mountain, and smote them and beat them down, even to Hormah.
