اَلْعَدَد 14
| فَرَفَعَتْ كُلُّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ صَوْتَهَا وَصَرَخَتْ، وَبَكَى ٱلشَّعْبُ تِلْكَ ٱللَّيْلَةَ. | ١ 1 |
Then the whole congregation lifted up their voices and cried out, and that night the people wept.
| 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 |
All the Israelites grumbled against Moses and Aaron, and the whole congregation said to them, “If only we had died in the land of Egypt, or if only 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 |
Why is the LORD bringing us into this land to fall by the sword? Our wives and children will become plunder. Would it not be better for us to go back to Egypt?”
| فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: «نُقِيمُ رَئِيسًا وَنَرْجِعُ إِلَى مِصْرَ». | ٤ 4 |
So they said to one another, “Let us appoint a leader and return to Egypt.”
| فَسَقَطَ مُوسَى وَهَارُونُ عَلَى وَجْهَيْهِمَا أَمَامَ كُلِّ مَعْشَرِ جَمَاعَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٥ 5 |
Then Moses and Aaron fell facedown before the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel.
| وَيَشُوعُ بْنُ نُونَ وَكَالِبُ بْنُ يَفُنَّةَ، مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ تَجَسَّسُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ، مَزَّقَا ثِيَابَهُمَا | ٦ 6 |
Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had 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 said to the whole congregation of Israel, “The land we passed through and explored is an exceedingly good land.
| إِنْ سُرَّ بِنَا ٱلرَّبُّ يُدْخِلْنَا إِلَى هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَيُعْطِينَا إِيَّاهَا، أَرْضًا تَفِيضُ لَبَنًا وَعَسَلًا. | ٨ 8 |
If the LORD delights in us, He will bring us into this land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and He will give it to us.
| 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 the LORD, and do not be afraid of the people of the land, for they will be like bread for us. Their protection has been removed, and the LORD is with us. Do not be afraid of them!”
| وَلَكِنْ قَالَ كُلُّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ أَنْ يُرْجَمَا بِٱلْحِجَارَةِ. ثُمَّ ظَهَرَ مَجْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ لِكُلِّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١٠ 10 |
But the whole congregation threatened to stone Joshua and Caleb. Then the glory of the LORD appeared to all the Israelites at the Tent of Meeting.
| وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «حَتَّى مَتَى يُهِينُنِي هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبُ؟ وَحَتَّى مَتَى لَا يُصَدِّقُونَنِي بِجَمِيعِ ٱلْآيَاتِ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلْتُ فِي وَسَطِهِمْ؟ | ١١ 11 |
And the LORD said to Moses, “How long will this people treat Me with contempt? How long will they refuse to believe in Me, despite all the signs I have performed among them?
| إِنِّي أَضْرِبُهُمْ بِٱلْوَبَإِ وَأُبِيدُهُمْ، وَأُصَيِّرُكَ شَعْبًا أَكْبَرَ وَأَعْظَمَ مِنْهُمْ». | ١٢ 12 |
I will strike them with a plague and destroy them—and I will make you into a nation greater and mightier than they are.”
| فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِلرَّبِّ: «فَيَسْمَعُ ٱلْمِصْرِيُّونَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَصْعَدْتَ بِقُوَّتِكَ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبَ مِنْ وَسَطِهِمْ، | ١٣ 13 |
But Moses said to the LORD, “The Egyptians will hear of it, for by Your strength You brought this people 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 already heard that You, O LORD, are in the midst of this people, that You, O LORD, have been seen face to face, that Your cloud stands over them, and that You go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night.
| فَإِنْ قَتَلْتَ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبَ كَرَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ، يَتَكَلَّمُ ٱلشُّعُوبُ ٱلَّذِينَ سَمِعُوا بِخَبَرِكَ قَائِلِينَ: | ١٥ 15 |
If You kill this people as one man, the nations who have heard of Your fame will say,
| لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ لَمْ يَقْدِرْ أَنْ يُدْخِلَ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي حَلَفَ لَهُمْ، قَتَلَهُمْ فِي ٱلْقَفْرِ. | ١٦ 16 |
‘Because the LORD was unable to bring this people into the land He swore to give them, He has slaughtered them in the wilderness.’
| فَٱلْآنَ لِتَعْظُمْ قُدْرَةُ سَيِّدِي كَمَا تَكَلَّمْتَ قَائِلًا: | ١٧ 17 |
So now I pray, may the power of my Lord be magnified, just as You have declared:
| ٱلرَّبُّ طَوِيلُ ٱلرُّوحِ كَثِيرُ ٱلْإِحْسَانِ، يَغْفِرُ ٱلذَّنْبَ وَٱلسَّيِّئَةَ، لَكِنَّهُ لَا يُبْرِئُ. بَلْ يَجْعَلُ ذَنْبَ ٱلْآبَاءِ عَلَى ٱلْأَبْنَاءِ إِلَى ٱلْجِيلِ ٱلثَّالِثِ وَٱلرَّابِعِ. | ١٨ 18 |
‘The LORD is slow to anger and abounding in loving devotion, forgiving iniquity and transgression. Yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished; He will visit the iniquity of the fathers upon their children to the third and fourth generation.’
| اِصْفَحْ عَنْ ذَنْبِ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ كَعَظَمَةِ نِعْمَتِكَ، وَكَمَا غَفَرْتَ لِهَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ مِنْ مِصْرَ إِلَى هَهُنَا». | ١٩ 19 |
Pardon, I pray, the iniquity of this people, in keeping with the greatness of Your loving devotion, just as You have forgiven them ever since they left Egypt.”
| فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «قَدْ صَفَحْتُ حَسَبَ قَوْلِكَ. | ٢٠ 20 |
“I have pardoned them as you requested,” the LORD replied.
| وَلَكِنْ حَيٌّ أَنَا فَتُمْلَأُ كُلُّ ٱلْأَرْضِ مِنْ مَجْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ، | ٢١ 21 |
“Yet as surely as I live and as surely as the whole earth is filled with the glory of the LORD,
| إِنَّ جَمِيعَ ٱلرِّجَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ رَأَوْا مَجْدِي وَآيَاتِي ٱلَّتِي عَمِلْتُهَا فِي مِصْرَ وَفِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، وَجَرَّبُونِي ٱلْآنَ عَشَرَ مَرَّاتٍ، وَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا لِقَوْلِي، | ٢٢ 22 |
not one of the men who have seen My glory and the signs I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness—yet have tested Me and disobeyed Me these ten times—
| لَنْ يَرَوْا ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي حَلَفْتُ لِآبَائِهِمْ. وَجَمِيعُ ٱلَّذِينَ أَهَانُونِي لَا يَرَوْنَهَا. | ٢٣ 23 |
not one will ever see the land that I swore to give their fathers. None of those who have treated Me with contempt will 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 because My servant Caleb has a different spirit and has followed Me wholeheartedly, I will bring him into the land he has entered, and his descendants will inherit it.
| وَإِذِ ٱلْعَمَالِقَةُ وَٱلْكَنْعَانِيُّونَ سَاكِنُونَ فِي ٱلْوَادِي، فَٱنْصَرِفُوا غَدًا وَٱرْتَحِلُوا إِلَى ٱلْقَفْرِ فِي طَرِيقِ بَحْرِ سُوفَ». | ٢٥ 25 |
Now since the Amalekites and Canaanites are living in the valleys, turn back tomorrow and head for the wilderness along the route to the Red Sea.”
| وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ قَائِلًا: | ٢٦ 26 |
Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
| «حَتَّى مَتَى أَغْفِرُ لِهَذِهِ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ ٱلشِّرِّيرَةِ ٱلْمُتَذَمِّرَةِ عَلَيَّ؟ قَدْ سَمِعْتُ تَذَمُّرَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِي يَتَذَمَّرُونَهُ عَلَيَّ. | ٢٧ 27 |
“How long will this wicked congregation grumble against Me? I have heard the complaints that the Israelites are making against Me.
| قُلْ لَهُمْ: حَيٌّ أَنَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، لَأَفْعَلَنَّ بِكُمْ كَمَا تَكَلَّمْتُمْ فِي أُذُنَيَّ. | ٢٨ 28 |
So tell them: As surely as I live, declares the LORD, I will do to you exactly as I heard you say.
| فِي هَذَا ٱلْقَفْرِ تَسْقُطُ جُثَثُكُمْ، جَمِيعُ ٱلْمَعْدُودِينَ مِنْكُمْ حَسَبَ عَدَدِكُمْ مِنِ ٱبْنِ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً فَصَاعِدًا ٱلَّذِينَ تَذَمَّرُوا عَلَيَّ. | ٢٩ 29 |
Your bodies will fall in this wilderness—all who were numbered in the census, everyone twenty years of age or older—because you have grumbled against Me.
| لَنْ تَدْخُلُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي رَفَعْتُ يَدِي لِأُسْكِنَنَّكُمْ فِيهَا، مَا عَدَا كَالِبَ بْنَ يَفُنَّةَ وَيَشُوعَ بْنَ نُونٍ. | ٣٠ 30 |
Surely none of you will enter the land in which I swore to settle you, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.
| وَأَمَّا أَطْفَالُكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ قُلْتُمْ يَكُونُونَ غَنِيمَةً فَإِنِّي سَأُدْخِلُهُمْ، فَيَعْرِفُونَ ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي ٱحْتَقَرْتُمُوهَا. | ٣١ 31 |
But I will bring your children, whom you said would become plunder, into the land you have rejected—and they will enjoy it.
| فَجُثَثُكُمْ أَنْتُمْ تَسْقُطُ فِي هَذَا ٱلْقَفْرِ، | ٣٢ 32 |
As for you, however, your bodies will fall in this wilderness.
| وَبَنُوكُمْ يَكُونُونَ رُعَاةً فِي ٱلْقَفْرِ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً، وَيَحْمِلُونَ فُجُورَكُمْ حَتَّى تَفْنَى جُثَثُكُمْ فِي ٱلْقَفْرِ. | ٣٣ 33 |
Your children will be shepherds in the wilderness for forty years, and they will suffer for your unfaithfulness until the last of your bodies lies in the wilderness.
| كَعَدَدِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلَّتِي تَجَسَّسْتُمْ فِيهَا ٱلْأَرْضَ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا، لِلسَّنَةِ يَوْمٌ. تَحْمِلُونَ ذُنُوبَكُمْ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً فَتَعْرِفُونَ ٱبْتِعَادِي. | ٣٤ 34 |
In keeping with the forty days you spied out the land, you shall bear your guilt forty years—a year for each day—and you will experience My alienation.
| أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ قَدْ تَكَلَّمْتُ. لَأَفْعَلَنَّ هَذَا بِكُلِّ هَذِهِ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ ٱلشِّرِّيرَةِ ٱلْمُتَّفِقَةِ عَلَيَّ. فِي هَذَا ٱلْقَفْرِ يَفْنَوْنَ، وَفِيهِ يَمُوتُونَ». | ٣٥ 35 |
I, the LORD, have spoken, and I will surely do these things to this entire wicked congregation, which has conspired against Me. They will meet their end in the wilderness, and there they will die.”
| أَمَّا ٱلرِّجَالُ ٱلَّذِينَ أَرْسَلَهُمْ مُوسَى لِيَتَجَسَّسُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ، وَرَجَعُوا وَسَجَّسُوا عَلَيْهِ كُلَّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ بِإِشَاعَةِ ٱلْمَذَمَّةِ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، | ٣٦ 36 |
So the men Moses had sent to spy out the land, who had returned and made the whole congregation grumble against him by bringing out a bad report about the land—
| فَمَاتَ ٱلرِّجَالُ ٱلَّذِينَ أَشَاعُوا ٱلْمَذَمَّةَ ٱلرَّدِيئَةَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ بِٱلْوَبَإِ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٣٧ 37 |
those men who had brought out the bad report about the land—were struck down by a plague before the LORD.
| وَأَمَّا يَشُوعُ بْنُ نُونَ وَكَالِبُ بْنُ يَفُنَّةَ، مِنْ أُولَئِكَ ٱلرِّجَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ ذَهَبُوا لِيَتَجَسَّسُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ، فَعَاشَا. | ٣٨ 38 |
Of those men who had gone to spy out the land, only Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh remained alive.
| وَلَمَّا تَكَلَّمَ مُوسَى بِهَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ إِلَى جَمِيعِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بَكَى ٱلشَّعْبُ جِدًّا. | ٣٩ 39 |
And when Moses relayed these words to all the Israelites, the people mourned bitterly.
| ثُمَّ بَكَّرُوا صَبَاحًا وَصَعِدُوا إِلَى رَأْسِ ٱلْجَبَلِ قَائِلِينَ: «هُوَذَا نَحْنُ! نَصْعَدُ إِلَى ٱلْمَوْضِعِ ٱلَّذِي قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْهُ، فَإِنَّنَا قَدْ أَخْطَأْنَا». | ٤٠ 40 |
Early the next morning they got up and went up toward the ridge of the hill country. “We have indeed sinned,” they said, “but we will go to the place the LORD has promised.”
| فَقَالَ مُوسَى: «لِمَاذَا تَتَجَاوَزُونَ قَوْلَ ٱلرَّبِّ؟ فَهَذَا لَا يَنْجَحُ. | ٤١ 41 |
But Moses said, “Why are you transgressing the commandment of the LORD? This will not succeed!
| لَا تَصْعَدُوا، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ لَيْسَ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ لِئَلَّا تَنْهَزِمُوا أَمَامَ أَعْدَائِكُمْ. | ٤٢ 42 |
Do not go up, lest you be struck down by your enemies, because the LORD is not among you.
| لِأَنَّ ٱلْعَمَالِقَةَ وَٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ هُنَاكَ قُدَّامَكُمْ تَسْقُطُونَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ. إِنَّكُمْ قَدِ ٱرْتَدَدْتُمْ عَنِ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَٱلرَّبُّ لَا يَكُونُ مَعَكُمْ». | ٤٣ 43 |
For there the Amalekites and Canaanites will face you, and you will fall by the sword. Because you have turned away from the LORD, He 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 dared to go up to the ridge of the hill country, though neither Moses nor the ark of the covenant of the LORD moved from the camp.
| فَنَزَلَ ٱلْعَمَالِقَةُ وَٱلْكَنْعَانِيُّونَ ٱلسَّاكِنُونَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْجَبَلِ وَضَرَبُوهُمْ وَكَسَّرُوهُمْ إِلَى حُرْمَةَ. | ٤٥ 45 |
Then the Amalekites and Canaanites who lived in that part of the hill country came down, attacked them, and routed them all the way to Hormah.
