< اَلْعَدَد 21 >

وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيُّ مَلِكُ عَرَادَ ٱلسَّاكِنُ فِي ٱلْجَنُوبِ أَنَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ جَاءَ فِي طَرِيقِ أَتَارِيمَ، حَارَبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَسَبَى مِنْهُمْ سَبْيًا. ١ 1
And the Canaanite, the king of Arad, who dwelt in the South, heard tell that Israel came by the way of Atharim, and he fought against Israel, and took some of them captive.
فَنَذَرَ إِسْرَائِيلُ نَذْرًا لِلرَّبِّ وَقَالَ: «إِنْ دَفَعْتَ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْقَوْمَ إِلَى يَدِي أُحَرِّمُ مُدُنَهُمْ». ٢ 2
And Israel vowed a vow to Jehovah, and said, If thou will indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.
فَسَمِعَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِقَوْلِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَدَفَعَ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ، فَحَرَّمُوهُمْ وَمُدُنَهُمْ. فَدُعِيَ ٱسْمُ ٱلْمَكَانِ «حُرْمَةَ». ٣ 3
And Jehovah hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites. And they utterly destroyed them and their cities. And the name of the place was called Hormah.
وَٱرْتَحَلُوا مِنْ جَبَلِ هُورٍ فِي طَرِيقِ بَحْرِ سُوفٍ لِيَدُورُوا بِأَرْضِ أَدُومَ، فَضَاقَتْ نَفْسُ ٱلشَّعْبِ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ. ٤ 4
And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea, to encompass the land of Edom. And the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way.
وَتَكَلَّمَ ٱلشَّعْبُ عَلَى ٱللهِ وَعَلَى مُوسَى قَائِلِينَ: «لِمَاذَا أَصْعَدْتُمَانَا مِنْ مِصْرَ لِنَمُوتَ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ؟ لِأَنَّهُ لَا خُبْزَ وَلَا مَاءَ، وَقَدْ كَرِهَتْ أَنْفُسُنَا ٱلطَّعَامَ ٱلسَّخِيفَ». ٥ 5
And the people spoke against God, and against Moses, Why have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no bread, and there is no water, and our soul loathes this light bread.
فَأَرْسَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَى ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلْحَيَّاتِ ٱلْمُحْرِقَةَ، فَلَدَغَتِ ٱلشَّعْبَ، فَمَاتَ قَوْمٌ كَثِيرُونَ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٦ 6
And Jehovah sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people, and many people of Israel died.
فَأَتَى ٱلشَّعْبُ إِلَى مُوسَى وَقَالُوا: «قَدْ أَخْطَأْنَا إِذْ تَكَلَّمْنَا عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ وَعَلَيْكَ، فَصَلِّ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ لِيَرْفَعَ عَنَّا ٱلْحَيَّاتِ». فَصَلَّى مُوسَى لِأَجْلِ ٱلشَّعْبِ. ٧ 7
And the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, because we have spoken against Jehovah, and against thee. Pray to Jehovah, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.
فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «ٱصْنَعْ لَكَ حَيَّةً مُحْرِقَةً وَضَعْهَا عَلَى رَايَةٍ، فَكُلُّ مَنْ لُدِغَ وَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا يَحْيَا». ٨ 8
And Jehovah said to Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a standard. And it shall come to pass, that everyone who is bitten, when he sees it, shall live.
فَصَنَعَ مُوسَى حَيَّةً مِنْ نُحَاسٍ وَوَضَعَهَا عَلَى ٱلرَّايَةِ، فَكَانَ مَتَى لَدَغَتْ حَيَّةٌ إِنْسَانًا وَنَظَرَ إِلَى حَيَّةِ ٱلنُّحَاسِ يَحْيَا. ٩ 9
And Moses made a serpent of brass, and set it upon the standard. And it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked to the serpent of brass, he lived.
وَٱرْتَحَلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ وَنَزَلُوا فِي أُوبُوتَ. ١٠ 10
And the sons of Israel journeyed, and encamped in Oboth.
وَٱرْتَحَلُوا مِنْ أُوبُوتَ وَنَزَلُوا فِي عَيِّي عَبَارِيمَ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، ٱلَّتِي قُبَالَةَ مُوآبَ إِلَى شُرُوقِ ٱلشَّمْسِ. ١١ 11
And they journeyed from Oboth, and encamped at Iyeabarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrise.
مِنْ هُنَاكَ ٱرْتَحَلُوا وَنَزَلُوا فِي وَادِي زَارَدَ. ١٢ 12
From there they journeyed, and encamped in the valley of Zered.
مِنْ هُنَاكَ ٱرْتَحَلُوا وَنَزَلُوا فِي عَبْرِ أَرْنُونَ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، خَارِجًا عَنْ تُخُمِ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ. لِأَنَّ أَرْنُونَ هُوَ تُخْمُ مُوآبَ، بَيْنَ مُوآبَ وَٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ. ١٣ 13
From there they journeyed, and encamped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness that comes out of the border of the Amorites, for the Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
لِذَلِكَ يُقَالُ فِي كِتَابِ «حُرُوبِ ٱلرَّبِّ»: «وَاهِبٌ فِي سُوفَةَ وَأَوْدِيَةِ أَرْنُونَ ١٤ 14
Therefore it is said in the book of the Wars of Jehovah, Vaheb in Suphah, and the valleys of the Arnon,
وَمَصَبِّ ٱلْأَوْدِيَةِ ٱلَّذِي مَالَ إِلَى مَسْكَنِ عَارَ، وَٱسْتَنَدَ إِلَى تُخُمِ مُوآبَ». ١٥ 15
and the slope of the valleys that inclines toward the dwelling of Ar, and leans upon the border of Moab.
وَمِنْ هُنَاكَ إِلَى بِئْرٍ. وَهِيَ ٱلْبِئْرُ حَيْثُ قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «ٱجْمَعِ ٱلشَّعْبَ فَأُعْطِيَهُمْ مَاءً». ١٦ 16
And from there they journeyed to Beer. That is the well of which Jehovah said to Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water.
حِينَئِذٍ تَرَنَّمَ إِسْرَائِيلُ بِهَذَا ٱلنَّشِيدِ: «اِصْعَدِي أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْبِئْرُ! أَجِيبُوا لَهَا. ١٧ 17
Then Israel sang this song: Spring up, O well. Sing ye to it,
بِئْرٌ حَفَرَهَا رُؤَسَاءُ، حَفَرَهَا شُرَفَاءُ ٱلشَّعْبِ، بِصَوْلَجَانٍ، بِعِصِيِّهِمْ». وَمِنَ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ إِلَى مَتَّانَةَ، ١٨ 18
the well, which the rulers dug, which the nobles of the people dug, with the scepter, and with their staves. And from the wilderness they journeyed to Mattanah,
وَمِنْ مَتَّانَةَ إِلَى نَحْلِيئِيلَ، وَمِنْ نَحْلِيئِيلَ إِلَى بَامُوتَ، ١٩ 19
and from Mattanah to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth,
وَمِنْ بَامُوتَ إِلَى ٱلْجِوَاءِ ٱلَّتِي فِي صَحْرَاءِ مُوآبَ عِنْدَ رَأْسِ ٱلْفِسْجَةِ ٱلَّتِي تُشْرِفُ عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. ٢٠ 20
and from Bamoth to the valley which is in the field of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looks down upon the desert.
وَأَرْسَلَ إِسْرَائِيلُ رُسُلًا إِلَى سِيحُونَ مَلِكِ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ قَائِلًا: ٢١ 21
And Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
«دَعْنِي أَمُرَّ فِي أَرْضِكَ. لَا نَمِيلُ إِلَى حَقْلٍ وَلَا إِلَى كَرْمٍ وَلَا نَشْرَبُ مَاءَ بِئْرٍ. فِي طَرِيقِ ٱلْمَلِكِ نَمْشِي حَتَّى نَتَجَاوَزَ تُخُومَكَ». ٢٢ 22
Let me pass through thy land. We will not turn aside into field, or into vineyard. We will not drink of the water of the wells. We will go by the king's highway, until we have passed thy border.
فَلَمْ يَسْمَحْ سِيحُونُ لِإِسْرَائِيلَ بِٱلْمُرُورِ فِي تُخُومِهِ، بَلْ جَمَعَ سِيحُونُ جَمِيعَ قَوْمِهِ وَخَرَجَ لِلِقَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، فَأَتَى إِلَى يَاهَصَ وَحَارَبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٢٣ 23
And Sihon would not allow Israel to pass through his border, but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel into the wilderness, and came to Jahaz, and he fought against Israel.
فَضَرَبَهُ إِسْرَائِيلُ بِحَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ وَمَلَكَ أَرْضَهُ مِنْ أَرْنُونَ إِلَى يَبُّوقَ إِلَى بَنِي عَمُّونَ. لِأَنَّ تُخُمَ بَنِي عَمُّونَ كَانَ قَوِيًّا. ٢٤ 24
And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, even to the sons of Ammon, for the border of the sons of Ammon was strong.
فَأَخَذَ إِسْرَائِيلُ كُلَّ هَذِهِ ٱلْمُدُنِ، وَأَقَامَ إِسْرَائِيلُ فِي جَمِيعِ مُدُنِ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ فِي حَشْبُونَ وَفِي كُلِّ قُرَاهَا. ٢٥ 25
And Israel took all these cities. And Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the towns of it.
لِأَنَّ حَشْبُونَ كَانَتْ مَدِينَةَ سِيحُونَ مَلِكِ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ، وَكَانَ قَدْ حَارَبَ مَلِكَ مُوآبَ ٱلْأَوَّلَ وَأَخَذَ كُلَّ أَرْضِهِ مِنْ يَدِهِ حَتَّى أَرْنُونَ. ٢٦ 26
For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab, and had taken all his land out of his hand, even to the Arnon.
لِذَلِكَ يَقُولُ أَصْحَابُ ٱلْأَمْثَالِ: «اِيتُوا إِلَى حَشْبُونَ فَتُبْنَى، وَتُصْلَحَ مَدِينَةُ سِيحُونَ. ٢٧ 27
Therefore those who speak in proverbs say, Come ye to Heshbon. Let the city of Sihon be built and established.
لِأَنَّ نَارًا خَرَجَتْ مِنْ حَشْبُونَ، لَهِيبًا مِنْ قَرْيَةِ سِيحُونَ. أَكَلَتْ عَارَ مُوآبَ. أَهْلَ مُرْتَفَعَاتِ أَرْنُونَ. ٢٨ 28
For a fire has gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon. It has devoured Ar of Moab, the lords of the high places of the Arnon.
وَيْلٌ لَكَ يَا مُوآبُ. هَلَكْتِ يَا أُمَّةَ كَمُوشَ. قَدْ صَيَّرَ بَنِيهِ هَارِبِينَ وَبَنَاتِهِ فِي ٱلسَّبْيِ لِمَلِكِ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ سِيحُونَ. ٢٩ 29
Woe to thee, Moab! Thou are undone, O people of Chemosh. He has given his sons as fugitives, and his daughters into captivity, to Sihon king of the Amorites.
لَكِنْ قَدْ رَمَيْنَاهُمْ. هَلَكَتْ حَشْبُونُ إِلَى دِيبُونَ. وَأَخْرَبْنَا إِلَى نُوفَحَ ٱلَّتِي إِلَى مِيدَبَا». ٣٠ 30
We have shot at them. Heshbon is perished even to Dibon, and we have laid waste even to Nophah, which reaches to Medeba.
فَأَقَامَ إِسْرَائِيلُ فِي أَرْضِ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ. ٣١ 31
Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.
وَأَرْسَلَ مُوسَى لِيَتَجَسَّسَ يَعْزِيرَ، فَأَخَذُوا قُرَاهَا وَطَرَدُوا ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ هُنَاكَ. ٣٢ 32
And Moses sent to spy out Jazer. And they took the towns of it, and drove out the Amorites that were there.
ثُمَّ تَحَوَّلُوا وَصَعِدُوا فِي طَرِيقِ بَاشَانَ. فَخَرَجَ عُوجُ مَلِكُ بَاشَانَ لِلِقَائِهِمْ هُوَ وَجَمِيعُ قَوْمِهِ إِلَى ٱلْحَرْبِ فِي إِذْرَعِي. ٣٣ 33
And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan. And Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.
فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «لَا تَخَفْ مِنْهُ لِأَنِّي قَدْ دَفَعْتُهُ إِلَى يَدِكَ مَعَ جَمِيعِ قَوْمِهِ وَأَرْضِهِ، فَتَفْعَلُ بِهِ كَمَا فَعَلْتَ بِسِيحُونَ مَلِكِ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ ٱلسَّاكِنِ فِي حَشْبُونَ». ٣٤ 34
And Jehovah said to Moses, Fear him not, for I have delivered him into thy hand, and all his people, and his land. And thou shall do to him as thou did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon.
فَضَرَبُوهُ وَبَنِيهِ وَجَمِيعَ قَوْمِهِ حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْقَ لَهُ شَارِدٌ، وَمَلَكُوا أَرْضَهُ. ٣٥ 35
So they smote him, and his sons and all his people, until there was none left to him remaining. And they possessed his land.
