اَلْعَدَد 20

١ 1 وَأَتَى بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ، ٱلْجَمَاعَةُ كُلُّهَا، إِلَى بَرِّيَّةِ صِينَ فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ. وَأَقَامَ ٱلشَّعْبُ فِي قَادَشَ. وَمَاتَتْ هُنَاكَ مَرْيَمُ وَدُفِنَتْ هُنَاكَ.

And the children of Israel, [even] the whole congregation, came into the wilderness of Sin, in the first month, and the people abode in Cades; and Mariam died there, and was buried there.

٢ 2 وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مَاءٌ لِلْجَمَاعَةِ فَٱجْتَمَعُوا عَلَى مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ.

And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered themselves together against Moses and Aaron.

٣ 3 وَخَاصَمَ ٱلشَّعْبُ مُوسَى وَكَلَّمُوهُ قَائِلِينَ: «لَيْتَنَا فَنِينَا فَنَاءَ إِخْوَتِنَا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ.

And the people reviled Moses, saying, Would we had died in the destruction of our brethren before the Lord!

٤ 4 لِمَاذَا أَتَيْتُمَا بِجَمَاعَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى هَذِهِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ لِكَيْ نَمُوتَ فِيهَا نَحْنُ وَمَوَاشِينَا؟

And wherefore have ye brought up the congregation of the Lord into this wilderness, to kill us and our cattle?

٥ 5 وَلِمَاذَا أَصْعَدْتُمَانَا مِنْ مِصْرَ لِتَأْتِيَا بِنَا إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلرَّدِيءِ؟ لَيْسَ هُوَ مَكَانَ زَرْعٍ وَتِينٍ وَكَرْمٍ وَرُمَّانٍ، وَلَا فِيهِ مَاءٌ لِلشُّرْبِ!».

And wherefore [is] this? Ye have brought us up out of Egypt, that we should come into this evil place; a place where there is no sowing, neither figs, nor vines, nor pomegranates, neither is there water to drink.

٦ 6 فَأَتَى مُوسَى وَهَارُونُ مِنْ أَمَامِ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ إِلَى بَابِ خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ وَسَقَطَا عَلَى وَجْهَيْهِمَا، فَتَرَاءَى لَهُمَا مَجْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ.

And Moses and Aaron went from before the assembly to the door of the tabernacle of witness, and they fell upon their faces; and the glory of the Lord appeared to them.

٧ 7 وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

٨ 8 «خُذِ ٱلْعَصَا وَٱجْمَعِ ٱلْجَمَاعَةَ أَنْتَ وَهَارُونُ أَخُوكَ، وَكَلِّمَا ٱلصَّخْرَةَ أَمَامَ أَعْيُنِهِمْ أَنْ تُعْطِيَ مَاءَهَا، فَتُخْرِجُ لَهُمْ مَاءً مِنَ ٱلصَّخْرَةِ وَتَسْقِي ٱلْجَمَاعَةَ وَمَوَاشِيَهُمْ».

Take thy rod, and call the assembly, thou and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye to the rock before them, and it shall give forth its waters; and ye shall bring forth for them water out of the rock, and give drink to the congregation and their cattle.

٩ 9 فَأَخَذَ مُوسَى ٱلْعَصَا مِنْ أَمَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ كَمَا أَمَرَهُ،

And Moses took his rod which was before the Lord, as the Lord commanded.

١٠ 10 وَجَمَعَ مُوسَى وَهَارُونُ ٱلْجُمْهُورَ أَمَامَ ٱلصَّخْرَةِ، فَقَالَ لَهُمُ: «ٱسْمَعُوا أَيُّهَا ٱلْمَرَدَةُ، أَمِنْ هَذِهِ ٱلصَّخْرَةِ نُخْرِجُ لَكُمْ مَاءً؟».

And Moses and Aaron assembled the congregation before the rock, and said to them, Hear me, ye disobedient ones; must we bring you water out of this rock?

١١ 11 وَرَفَعَ مُوسَى يَدَهُ وَضَرَبَ ٱلصَّخْرَةَ بِعَصَاهُ مَرَّتَيْنِ، فَخَرَجَ مَاءٌ غَزِيرٌ، فَشَرِبَتِ ٱلْجَمَاعَةُ وَمَوَاشِيهَا.

And Moses lifted up his hand and struck the rock with his rod twice; and much water came forth, and the congregation drank, and their cattle.

١٢ 12 فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى وَهَارُونَ: «مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّكُمَا لَمْ تُؤْمِنَا بِي حَتَّى تُقَدِّسَانِي أَمَامَ أَعْيُنِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِذَلِكَ لَا تُدْخِلَانِ هَذِهِ ٱلْجَمَاعَةَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتُهُمْ إِيَّاهَا».

And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, Because ye have not believed me to sanctify me before the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.

١٣ 13 هَذَا مَاءُ مَرِيبَةَ، حَيْثُ خَاصَمَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلرَّبَّ، فَتَقَدَّسَ فِيهِمْ.

This is the water of Strife, because the children of Israel spoke insolently before the Lord, and he was sanctified in them.

١٤ 14 وَأَرْسَلَ مُوسَى رُسُلًا مِنْ قَادَشَ إِلَى مَلِكِ أَدُومَ: «هَكَذَا يَقُولُ أَخُوكَ إِسْرَائِيلُ: قَدْ عَرَفْتَ كُلَّ ٱلْمَشَقَّةِ ٱلَّتِي أَصَابَتْنَا.

And Moses sent messengers from Cades to the king of Edom, saying, Thus says thy brother Israel; Thou knowest all the distress that has come upon us.

١٥ 15 إِنَّ آبَاءَنَا ٱنْحَدَرُوا إِلَى مِصْرَ، وَأَقَمْنَا فِي مِصْرَ أَيَّامًا كَثِيرَةً وَأَسَاءَ ٱلْمِصْرِيُّونَ إِلَيْنَا وَإِلَى آبَائِنَا،

And [how] our fathers went down into Egypt, and we sojourned in Egypt many days, and the Egyptians afflicted us and our fathers.

١٦ 16 فَصَرَخْنَا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فَسَمِعَ صَوْتَنَا، وَأَرْسَلَ مَلَاكًا وَأَخْرَجَنَا مِنْ مِصْرَ. وَهَا نَحْنُ فِي قَادَشَ، مَدِينَةٍ فِي طَرَفِ تُخُومِكَ.

And we cried to the Lord, and the Lord heard our voice, and sent an angel and brought us out of Egypt; and now we are in the city of Cades, at the extremity of thy coasts.

١٧ 17 دَعْنَا نَمُرَّ فِي أَرْضِكَ. لَا نَمُرُّ فِي حَقْلٍ وَلَا فِي كَرْمٍ، وَلَا نَشْرَبُ مَاءَ بِئْرٍ. فِي طَرِيقِ ٱلْمَلِكِ نَمْشِي، لَا نَمِيلُ يَمِينًا وَلَا يَسَارًا حَتَّى نَتَجَاوَزَ تُخُومَكَ».

We will pass through thy land: we will not go through the fields, nor through the vineyards, nor will we drink water out of thy cistern: we will go by the king's highway; we will not turn aside to the right hand or to the left, until we have passed thy borders.

١٨ 18 فَقَالَ لَهُ أَدُومُ: «لَا تَمُرُّ بِي لِئَلَّا أَخْرُجَ لِلِقَائِكَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ».

And Edom said to him, Thou shalt not pass through me, and if otherwise, I will go forth to meet thee in war.

١٩ 19 فَقَالَ لَهُ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ: «فِي ٱلسِّكَّةِ نَصْعَدُ، وَإِذَا شَرِبْنَا أَنَا وَمَوَاشِيَّ مِنْ مَائِكَ أَدْفَعُ ثَمَنَهُ. لَا شَيْءَ. أَمُرُّ بِرِجْلَيَّ فَقَطْ».

And the children of Israel say to him, We will pass by the mountain; and if I and my cattle drink of thy water, I will pay thee: but it is no matter of importance, we will go by the mountain.

٢٠ 20 فَقَالَ: «لَا تَمُرُّ». وَخَرَجَ أَدُومُ لِلِقَائِهِ بِشَعْبٍ غَفِيرٍ وَبِيَدٍ شَدِيدَةٍ.

And he said, Thou shalt not pass through me; and Edom went forth to meet him with a great host, and a mighty hand.

٢١ 21 وَأَبَى أَدُومُ أَنْ يَسْمَحَ لِإِسْرَائِيلَ بِٱلْمُرُورِ فِي تُخُومِهِ، فَتَحَوَّلَ إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْهُ.

So Edom refused to allow Israel to pass through his borders, and Israel turned away from him.

٢٢ 22 فَٱرْتَحَلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ، ٱلْجَمَاعَةُ كُلُّهَا، مِنْ قَادَشَ وَأَتَوْا إِلَى جَبَلِ هُورٍ.

And they departed from Cades; and the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came to Mount Or.

٢٣ 23 وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ فِي جَبَلِ هُورٍ عَلَى تُخُمِ أَرْضِ أَدُومَ قَائِلًا:

And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron in mount Or, on the borders of the land of Edom, saying,

٢٤ 24 «يُضَمُّ هَارُونُ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ لِأَنَّهُ لَا يَدْخُلُ ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتُ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِأَنَّكُمْ عَصَيْتُمْ قَوْلِي عِنْدَ مَاءِ مَرِيبَةَ.

Let Aaron be added to his people; for ye shall certainly not go into the land which I have given the children of Israel, because ye provoked me at the water of strife.

٢٥ 25 خُذْ هَارُونَ وَأَلِعَازَارَ ٱبْنَهُ وَٱصْعَدْ بِهِمَا إِلَى جَبَلِ هُورٍ،

Take Aaron, and Eleazar his son, and bring them up to the mount Or before all the congregation;

٢٦ 26 وَٱخْلَعْ عَنْ هَارُونَ ثِيَابَهُ، وَأَلْبِسْ أَلِعَازَارَ ٱبْنَهُ إِيَّاهَا. فَيُضَمُّ هَارُونُ وَيَمُوتُ هُنَاكَ».

and take Aaron's apparel from off him, and put it on Eleazar his son: and let Aaron die there and be added to [his people].

٢٧ 27 فَفَعَلَ مُوسَى كَمَا أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَصَعِدُوا إِلَى جَبَلِ هُورٍ أَمَامَ أَعْيُنِ كُلِّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ.

And Moses did as the Lord commanded him, and took him up to mount Or, before all the congregation.

٢٨ 28 فَخَلَعَ مُوسَى عَنْ هَارُونَ ثِيَابَهُ وَأَلْبَسَ أَلِعَازَارَ ٱبْنَهُ إِيَّاهَا. فَمَاتَ هَارُونُ هُنَاكَ عَلَى رَأْسِ ٱلْجَبَلِ، ثُمَّ ٱنْحَدَرَ مُوسَى وَأَلِعَازَارُ عَنِ ٱلْجَبَلِ.

And he took Aaron's garments off him, and put them on Eleazar his son, and Aaron died on the top of the mountain; and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.

٢٩ 29 فَلَمَّا رَأَى كُلُّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ أَنَّ هَارُونَ قَدْ مَاتَ، بَكَى جَمِيعُ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى هَارُونَ ثَلَاثِينَ يَوْمًا.

And all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead: and they wept for Aaron thirty days, [even] all the house of Israel.
