فَرَفَعَتْ كُلُّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ صَوْتَهَا وَصَرَخَتْ، وَبَكَى ٱلشَّعْبُ تِلْكَ ٱللَّيْلَةَ. ١ 1
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
All the children of Israel [God prevails] murmured against Moses [Drawn out] and against Aaron [Light-bringer]. The whole congregation said to them, “We wish that we had died in the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], or 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
Why does Adonai bring us to this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will be captured or killed! Wouldn’t it be better for us to teshuvah ·completely return· into Egypt [Abode of slavery]?”
فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: «نُقِيمُ رَئِيسًا وَنَرْجِعُ إِلَى مِصْرَ». ٤ 4
They said to one another, “Let us make a captain, and let us teshuvah ·completely return· into Egypt [Abode of slavery].”
فَسَقَطَ مُوسَى وَهَارُونُ عَلَى وَجْهَيْهِمَا أَمَامَ كُلِّ مَعْشَرِ جَمَاعَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٥ 5
Then Moses [Drawn out] and Aaron [Light-bringer] fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel [God prevails].
وَيَشُوعُ بْنُ نُونَ وَكَالِبُ بْنُ يَفُنَّةَ، مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ تَجَسَّسُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ، مَزَّقَا ثِيَابَهُمَا ٦ 6
Joshua [Salvation Yah] 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
They spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel [God prevails], saying, “The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceeding good land.
إِنْ سُرَّ بِنَا ٱلرَّبُّ يُدْخِلْنَا إِلَى هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَيُعْطِينَا إِيَّاهَا، أَرْضًا تَفِيضُ لَبَنًا وَعَسَلًا. ٨ 8
If Adonai 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 don’t rebel against Adonai, neither fear the people of the land; for they are bread for us. Their defense is removed from over them, and Adonai is with us. Don’t fear them.”
وَلَكِنْ قَالَ كُلُّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ أَنْ يُرْجَمَا بِٱلْحِجَارَةِ. ثُمَّ ظَهَرَ مَجْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ لِكُلِّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. ١٠ 10
But all the congregation threatened to stone them with stones. The kavod Yahweh ·weighty glory of He sustains breathing· appeared in the Tent of Meeting to all the children of Israel [God prevails].
وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «حَتَّى مَتَى يُهِينُنِي هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبُ؟ وَحَتَّى مَتَى لَا يُصَدِّقُونَنِي بِجَمِيعِ ٱلْآيَاتِ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلْتُ فِي وَسَطِهِمْ؟ ١١ 11
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “How long will this people despise me? and how long will they not believe in me, for all the signs which I have worked among them?
إِنِّي أَضْرِبُهُمْ بِٱلْوَبَإِ وَأُبِيدُهُمْ، وَأُصَيِّرُكَ شَعْبًا أَكْبَرَ وَأَعْظَمَ مِنْهُمْ». ١٢ 12
I will strike them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of you a nation greater and mightier than they.”
فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِلرَّبِّ: «فَيَسْمَعُ ٱلْمِصْرِيُّونَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَصْعَدْتَ بِقُوَّتِكَ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبَ مِنْ وَسَطِهِمْ، ١٣ 13
Moses [Drawn out] said to Adonai, “Then the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] will sh'ma ·hear obey· it; for you brought up this people in your 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
They will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· that you Adonai are in the middle of this people; for you Adonai are seen face to face, and your cloud stands over them, and you 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 you killed this people as one man, then the nations which have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· the fame of you will speak, saying,
لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ لَمْ يَقْدِرْ أَنْ يُدْخِلَ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي حَلَفَ لَهُمْ، قَتَلَهُمْ فِي ٱلْقَفْرِ. ١٦ 16
‘Because Adonai 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
Now please let the power of the Lord be great, according as you 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
‘Adonai is slow to anger, and abundant in cheshed ·loving-kindness·, forgiving iniquity and disobedience; and that will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation.’
اِصْفَحْ عَنْ ذَنْبِ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ كَعَظَمَةِ نِعْمَتِكَ، وَكَمَا غَفَرْتَ لِهَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ مِنْ مِصْرَ إِلَى هَهُنَا». ١٩ 19
Please pardon the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of your cheshed ·loving-kindness·, and according as you have forgiven this people, from Egypt [Abode of slavery] even until now.”
فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «قَدْ صَفَحْتُ حَسَبَ قَوْلِكَ. ٢٠ 20
Adonai said, “I have pardoned according to your 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 kavod Yahweh ·weighty glory of He sustains breathing·;
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 worked in Egypt [Abode of slavery] and in the wilderness, yet have tempted me these ten times, and have not sh'ma ·heard obeyed· 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 those 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 I will bring into the land into which he went. His offspring shall possess it.
وَإِذِ ٱلْعَمَالِقَةُ وَٱلْكَنْعَانِيُّونَ سَاكِنُونَ فِي ٱلْوَادِي، فَٱنْصَرِفُوا غَدًا وَٱرْتَحِلُوا إِلَى ٱلْقَفْرِ فِي طَرِيقِ بَحْرِ سُوفَ». ٢٥ 25
Since the Amalekite [Descendant of Man who licks up] and the Canaanite [Descendant of Humbled] dwell in the valley, tomorrow turn, and go into the wilderness by the way to the Sea of Suf [Reed Sea].”
وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ قَائِلًا: ٢٦ 26
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out] and to Aaron [Light-bringer], 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 sh'ma ·heard obeyed· the murmurings of the children of Israel [God prevails], which they murmur against me.
قُلْ لَهُمْ: حَيٌّ أَنَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، لَأَفْعَلَنَّ بِكُمْ كَمَا تَكَلَّمْتُمْ فِي أُذُنَيَّ. ٢٨ 28
Tell them, ‘As I live, says Adonai, surely as you 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 counted 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 you shall not come into the land, concerning which I swore that I would make you dwell therein, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua [Salvation Yah] the son of Nun.
وَأَمَّا أَطْفَالُكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ قُلْتُمْ يَكُونُونَ غَنِيمَةً فَإِنِّي سَأُدْخِلُهُمْ، فَيَعْرِفُونَ ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي ٱحْتَقَرْتُمُوهَا. ٣١ 31
But your little ones, that you said should be captured or killed, them I will bring in, and they shall know the land which you 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
Your children shall be wanderers in the wilderness forty years, and shall bear your prostitution, until your dead bodies are 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 you spied out the land, even forty days, for every day a year, you will bear your iniquities, even forty years, and you will know my alienation.’
أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ قَدْ تَكَلَّمْتُ. لَأَفْعَلَنَّ هَذَا بِكُلِّ هَذِهِ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ ٱلشِّرِّيرَةِ ٱلْمُتَّفِقَةِ عَلَيَّ. فِي هَذَا ٱلْقَفْرِ يَفْنَوْنَ، وَفِيهِ يَمُوتُونَ». ٣٥ 35
I, Adonai, have spoken. I will surely do this to all this evil congregation, who 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
The men, whom Moses [Drawn out] sent to spy out the land, who teshuvah ·completely 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 Adonai.
وَأَمَّا يَشُوعُ بْنُ نُونَ وَكَالِبُ بْنُ يَفُنَّةَ، مِنْ أُولَئِكَ ٱلرِّجَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ ذَهَبُوا لِيَتَجَسَّسُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ، فَعَاشَا. ٣٨ 38
But Joshua [Salvation Yah] 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
Moses [Drawn out] told these words to all the children of Israel [God prevails], 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
They rose up early in the morning, and went up to the top of the mountain, saying, “Behold, we are here, and will go up to the place which Adonai has promised: for we have sinned.”
فَقَالَ مُوسَى: «لِمَاذَا تَتَجَاوَزُونَ قَوْلَ ٱلرَّبِّ؟ فَهَذَا لَا يَنْجَحُ. ٤١ 41
Moses [Drawn out] said, “Why are you disobeying the order of Adonai? You shall not succeed!
لَا تَصْعَدُوا، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ لَيْسَ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ لِئَلَّا تَنْهَزِمُوا أَمَامَ أَعْدَائِكُمْ. ٤٢ 42
Don’t go up, for Adonai is not among you; that you not be struck 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 [Descendant of Man who licks up] and the Canaanite [Descendant of Humbled] are before you, and you shall fall by the sword, because you turned back from following Adonai, therefore Adonai 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 Adonai’s covenant and Moses [Drawn out] didn’t depart out of the camp.
فَنَزَلَ ٱلْعَمَالِقَةُ وَٱلْكَنْعَانِيُّونَ ٱلسَّاكِنُونَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْجَبَلِ وَضَرَبُوهُمْ وَكَسَّرُوهُمْ إِلَى حُرْمَةَ. ٤٥ 45
Then the Amalekites [Descendants of Man who licks up] came down, and the Canaanites [Descendants of Humbled] who lived in that mountain, and struck them and beat them down, even to Hormah.
