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 children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said to them, O that 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
And why hath the LORD brought us to this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should 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 children 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 them that searched 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 company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land.
إِنْ سُرَّ بِنَا ٱلرَّبُّ يُدْخِلْنَا إِلَى هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَيُعْطِينَا إِيَّاهَا، أَرْضًا تَفِيضُ لَبَنًا وَعَسَلًا. ٨ 8
If the LORD delighteth in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it to us; a land which floweth 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 rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence hast departed from them, and the LORD 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 said to stone them with stones. And the glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before all the children of Israel.
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 provoke me? and how long will it be before they believe me, for all the signs which I have shown 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 greater nation and mightier than they.
فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِلرَّبِّ: «فَيَسْمَعُ ٱلْمِصْرِيُّونَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَصْعَدْتَ بِقُوَّتِكَ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبَ مِنْ وَسَطِهِمْ، ١٣ 13
And Moses said to the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear it, (for thou broughtest 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: for they have heard that thou LORD art among this people, that thou LORD art seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, 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 shalt kill all 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 the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which he swore to them, therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness.
فَٱلْآنَ لِتَعْظُمْ قُدْرَةُ سَيِّدِي كَمَا تَكَلَّمْتَ قَائِلًا: ١٧ 17
And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my LORD be great, according as thou hast 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
The LORD is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the 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 beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.
فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «قَدْ صَفَحْتُ حَسَبَ قَوْلِكَ. ٢٠ 20
And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy word:
وَلَكِنْ حَيٌّ أَنَا فَتُمْلَأُ كُلُّ ٱلْأَرْضِ مِنْ مَجْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ، ٢١ 21
But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be 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
Because all those men who have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now 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 that provoked 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 hath 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 Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.) To morrow turn ye, and pass into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ قَائِلًا: ٢٦ 26
And the LORD 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, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children 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 truly as I live, saith the LORD, 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 that 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
Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I swore to 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, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised.
فَجُثَثُكُمْ أَنْتُمْ تَسْقُطُ فِي هَذَا ٱلْقَفْرِ، ٣٢ 32
But as for you, your dead bodies, they shall fall in this wilderness.
وَبَنُوكُمْ يَكُونُونَ رُعَاةً فِي ٱلْقَفْرِ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً، وَيَحْمِلُونَ فُجُورَكُمْ حَتَّى تَفْنَى جُثَثُكُمْ فِي ٱلْقَفْرِ. ٣٣ 33
And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your harlotries, until your dead bodies shall be wasted 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 searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.
أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ قَدْ تَكَلَّمْتُ. لَأَفْعَلَنَّ هَذَا بِكُلِّ هَذِهِ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ ٱلشِّرِّيرَةِ ٱلْمُتَّفِقَةِ عَلَيَّ. فِي هَذَا ٱلْقَفْرِ يَفْنَوْنَ، وَفِيهِ يَمُوتُونَ». ٣٥ 35
I the LORD have said, I will surely do it 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 search the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing a slander upon the land,
فَمَاتَ ٱلرِّجَالُ ٱلَّذِينَ أَشَاعُوا ٱلْمَذَمَّةَ ٱلرَّدِيئَةَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ بِٱلْوَبَإِ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ. ٣٧ 37
Even those men that brought the bad report upon the land, died by the plague before the LORD.
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, who were of the men that went to search the land, lived still.
وَلَمَّا تَكَلَّمَ مُوسَى بِهَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ إِلَى جَمِيعِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بَكَى ٱلشَّعْبُ جِدًّا. ٣٩ 39
And Moses told these sayings to all the children 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 early in the morning, and went up to the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we are here, and will go up to the place which the LORD hath promised: for we have sinned.
فَقَالَ مُوسَى: «لِمَاذَا تَتَجَاوَزُونَ قَوْلَ ٱلرَّبِّ؟ فَهَذَا لَا يَنْجَحُ. ٤١ 41
And Moses said, Why now do ye transgress the commandment of the LORD? but it shall not prosper.
لَا تَصْعَدُوا، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ لَيْسَ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ لِئَلَّا تَنْهَزِمُوا أَمَامَ أَعْدَائِكُمْ. ٤٢ 42
Go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that ye be not smitten before your enemies.
لِأَنَّ ٱلْعَمَالِقَةَ وَٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ هُنَاكَ قُدَّامَكُمْ تَسْقُطُونَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ. إِنَّكُمْ قَدِ ٱرْتَدَدْتُمْ عَنِ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَٱلرَّبُّ لَا يَكُونُ مَعَكُمْ». ٤٣ 43
For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away from the LORD, therefore the LORD 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 hill top: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and Moses, departed not 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 hill, and smote them, and smote them, even to Hormah.
