اَلْعَدَد 22
| وَٱرْتَحَلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ وَنَزَلُوا فِي عَرَبَاتِ مُوآبَ مِنْ عَبْرِ أُرْدُنِّ أَرِيحَا. | ١ 1 |
And the sons of Israel journey and encamp in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan, [by] Jericho.
| وَلَمَّا رَأَى بَالَاقُ بْنُ صِفُّورَ جَمِيعَ مَا فَعَلَ إِسْرَائِيلُ بِٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ، | ٢ 2 |
And Balak son of Zippor seeth all that Israel hath done to the Amorite,
| فَزِعَ مُوآبُ مِنَ ٱلشَّعْبِ جِدًّا لِأَنَّهُ كَثِيرٌ، وَضَجِرَ مُوآبُ مِنْ قِبَلَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٣ 3 |
and Moab is exceedingly afraid of the presence of the people, for it [is] numerous; and Moab is vexed by the presence of the sons of Israel,
| فَقَالَ مُوآبُ لِشُيُوخِ مِدْيَانَ: «ٱلْآنَ يَلْحَسُ ٱلْجُمْهُورُ كُلَّ مَا حَوْلَنَا كَمَا يَلْحَسُ ٱلثَّوْرُ خُضْرَةَ ٱلْحَقْلِ». وَكَانَ بَالَاقُ بْنُ صِفُّورَ مَلِكًا لِمُوآبَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلزَّمَانِ. | ٤ 4 |
and Moab saith unto the elders of Midian, 'Now doth the assembly lick up all that is round about us, as the ox licketh up the green thing of the field.' And Balak son of Zippor [is] king of Moab at that time,
| فَأَرْسَلَ رُسُلًا إِلَى بَلْعَامَ بْنِ بَعُورَ، إِلَى فَتُورَ ٱلَّتِي عَلَى ٱلنَّهْرِ فِي أَرْضِ بَنِي شَعْبِهِ لِيَدْعُوَهُ قَائِلًا: «هُوَذَا شَعْبٌ قَدْ خَرَجَ مِنْ مِصْرَ. هُوَذَا قَدْ غَشَّى وَجْهَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَهُوَ مُقِيمٌ مُقَابِلِي. | ٥ 5 |
and he sendeth messengers unto Balaam son of Beor, to Pethor, which [is] by the River of the land of the sons of his people, to call for him, saying, 'Lo, a people hath come out of Egypt; lo, it hath covered the eye of the land, and it is abiding over-against me;
| فَٱلْآنَ تَعَالَ وَٱلْعَنْ لِي هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبَ، لِأَنَّهُ أَعْظَمُ مِنِّي، لَعَلَّهُ يُمْكِنُنَا أَنْ نَكْسِرَهُ فَأَطْرُدَهُ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، لِأَنِّي عَرَفْتُ أَنَّ ٱلَّذِي تُبَارِكُهُ مُبَارَكٌ وَٱلَّذِي تَلْعَنُهُ مَلْعُونٌ». | ٦ 6 |
and now, come, I pray thee, curse for me this people, for it [is] mightier than I; it may be I prevail — we smite it — and I cast it out from the land; for I have known — that which thou blessest is blessed, and that which thou cursest is cursed.'
| فَٱنْطَلَقَ شُيُوخُ مُوآبَ وَشُيُوخُ مِدْيَانَ، وَحُلْوَانُ ٱلْعِرَافَةِ فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ، وَأَتَوْا إِلَى بَلْعَامَ وَكَلَّمُوهُ بِكَلَامِ بَالَاقَ. | ٧ 7 |
And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian go, and divinations in their hand, and they come in unto Balaam, and speak unto him the words of Balak,
| فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «بِيتُوا هُنَا ٱللَّيْلَةَ فَأَرُدَّ عَلَيْكُمْ جَوَابًا كَمَا يُكَلِّمُنِي ٱلرَّبُّ». فَمَكَثَ رُؤَسَاءُ مُوآبَ عِنْدَ بَلْعَامَ. | ٨ 8 |
and he saith unto them, 'Lodge here to-night, and I have brought you back word, as Jehovah speaketh unto me;' and the princes of Moab abide with Balaam.
| فَأَتَى ٱللهُ إِلَى بَلْعَامَ وَقَالَ: «مَنْ هُمْ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلرِّجَالُ ٱلَّذِينَ عِنْدَكَ؟» | ٩ 9 |
And God cometh in unto Balaam, and saith, 'Who [are] these men with thee?'
| فَقَالَ بَلْعَامُ لِلهِ: «بَالَاقُ بْنُ صِفُّورَ مَلِكُ مُوآبَ قَدْ أَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ يَقُولُ: | ١٠ 10 |
And Balaam saith unto God, 'Balak, son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me:
| هُوَذَا ٱلشَّعْبُ ٱلْخَارِجُ مِنْ مِصْرَ قَدْ غَشَّى وَجْهَ ٱلْأَرْضِ. تَعَالَ ٱلْآنَ ٱلْعَنْ لِي إِيَّاهُ، لَعَلِّي أَقْدِرُ أَنْ أُحَارِبَهُ وَأَطْرُدَهُ». | ١١ 11 |
Lo, the people that is coming out from Egypt and covereth the eye of the land, — now come, pierce it for me; it may be I am able to fight against it, and have cast it out;'
| فَقَالَ ٱللهُ لِبَلْعَامَ: «لَا تَذْهَبْ مَعَهُمْ وَلَا تَلْعَنِ ٱلشَّعْبَ، لِأَنَّهُ مُبَارَكٌ». | ١٢ 12 |
and God saith unto Balaam, 'Thou dost not go with them; thou dost not curse the people; for it [is] blessed.'
| فَقَامَ بَلْعَامُ صَبَاحًا وَقَالَ لِرُؤَسَاءِ بَالَاقَ: «ٱنْطَلِقُوا إِلَى أَرْضِكُمْ لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ أَبَى أَنْ يَسْمَحَ لِي بِٱلذَّهَابِ مَعَكُمْ». | ١٣ 13 |
And Balaam riseth in the morning, and saith unto the princes of Balak, 'Go unto your land, for Jehovah is refusing to suffer me to go with you;'
| فَقَامَ رُؤَسَاءُ مُوآبَ وَأَتَوْا إِلَى بَالَاقَ وَقَالُوا: «أَبَى بَلْعَامُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ مَعَنَا». | ١٤ 14 |
and the princes of Moab rise, and come in unto Balak, and say, 'Balaam is refusing to come with us.'
| فَعَادَ بَالَاقُ وَأَرْسَلَ أَيْضًا رُؤَسَاءَ أَكْثَرَ وَأَعْظَمَ مِنْ أُولَئِكَ. | ١٥ 15 |
And Balak addeth yet to send princes, more numerous and honoured than these,
| فَأَتَوْا إِلَى بَلْعَامَ وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «هَكَذَا قَالَ بَالَاقُ بْنُ صِفُّورَ: لَا تَمْتَنِعْ مِنَ ٱلْإِتْيَانِ إِلَيَّ، | ١٦ 16 |
and they come in unto Balaam, and say to him, 'Thus said Balak son of Zippor, Be not, I pray thee, withheld from coming unto me,
| لِأَنِّي أُكْرِمُكَ إِكْرَامًا عَظِيمًا، وَكُلَّ مَا تَقُولُ لِي أَفْعَلُهُ. فَتَعَالَ ٱلْآنَ ٱلْعَنْ لِي هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبَ». | ١٧ 17 |
for very greatly I honour thee, and all that thou sayest unto me I do; and come, I pray thee, pierce for me this people.'
| فَأَجَابَ بَلْعَامُ وَقَالَ لِعَبِيدِ بَالَاقَ: «وَلَوْ أَعْطَانِي بَالَاقُ مِلْءَ بَيْتِهِ فِضَّةً وَذَهَبًا لَا أَقْدِرُ أَنْ أَتَجَاوَزَ قَوْلَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِي لِأَعْمَلَ صَغِيرًا أَوْ كَبِيرًا. | ١٨ 18 |
And Balaam answereth and saith unto the servants of Balak, 'If Balak doth give to me the fulness of his house of silver and gold, I am not able to pass over the command of Jehovah my God, to do a little or a great thing;
| فَٱلْآنَ ٱمْكُثُوا هُنَا أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا هَذِهِ ٱللَّيْلَةَ لِأَعْلَمَ مَاذَا يَعُودُ ٱلرَّبُّ يُكَلِّمُنِي بِهِ». | ١٩ 19 |
and, now, abide, I pray you, in this [place], you also, to-night; and I know what Jehovah is adding to speak with me.'
| فَأَتَى ٱللهُ إِلَى بَلْعَامَ لَيْلًا وَقَالَ لَهُ: «إِنْ أَتَى ٱلرِّجَالُ لِيَدْعُوكَ فَقُمِ ٱذْهَبْ مَعَهُمْ، إِنَّمَا تَعْمَلُ ٱلْأَمْرَ ٱلَّذِي أُكَلِّمُكَ بِهِ فَقَطْ». | ٢٠ 20 |
And God cometh in unto Balaam, by night, and saith to him, 'If to call for thee the men have come, rise, go with them, and only the thing which I speak unto thee — it thou dost do.'
| فَقَامَ بَلْعَامُ صَبَاحًا وَشَدَّ عَلَى أَتَانِهِ وَٱنْطَلَقَ مَعَ رُؤَسَاءِ مُوآبَ. | ٢١ 21 |
And Balaam riseth in the morning, and saddleth his ass, and goeth with the princes of Moab,
| فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ ٱللهِ لِأَنَّهُ مُنْطَلِقٌ، وَوَقَفَ مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ لِيُقَاوِمَهُ وَهُوَ رَاكِبٌ عَلَى أَتَانِهِ وَغُلَامَاهُ مَعَهُ. | ٢٢ 22 |
and the anger of God burneth because he is going, and a messenger of Jehovah stationeth himself in the way for an adversary to him, and he is riding on his ass, and two of his servants [are] with him,
| فَأَبْصَرَتِ ٱلْأَتَانُ مَلَاكَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَاقِفًا فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ وَسَيْفُهُ مَسْلُولٌ فِي يَدِهِ، فَمَالَتِ ٱلْأَتَانُ عَنِ ٱلطَّرِيقِ وَمَشَتْ فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ. فَضَرَبَ بَلْعَامُ ٱلْأَتَانَ لِيَرُدَّهَا إِلَى ٱلطَّرِيقِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
and the ass seeth the messenger of Jehovah standing in the way, and his drawn sword in his hand, and the ass turneth aside out of the way, and goeth into a field, and Balaam smiteth the ass to turn it aside into the way.
| ثُمَّ وَقَفَ مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي خَنْدَقٍ لِلْكُرُومِ، لَهُ حَائِطٌ مِنْ هُنَا وَحَائِطٌ مِنْ هُنَاكَ. | ٢٤ 24 |
And the messenger of Jehovah standeth in a narrow path of the vineyards — a wall on this [side] and a wall on that —
| فَلَمَّا أَبْصَرَتِ ٱلْأَتَانُ مَلَاكَ ٱلرَّبِّ زَحَمَتِ ٱلْحَائِطَ، وَضَغَطَتْ رِجْلَ بَلْعَامَ بِٱلْحَائِطِ، فَضَرَبَهَا أَيْضًا. | ٢٥ 25 |
and the ass seeth the messenger of Jehovah, and is pressed unto the wall, and presseth Balaam's foot unto the wall, and he addeth to smite her;
| ثُمَّ ٱجْتَازَ مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ أَيْضًا وَوَقَفَ فِي مَكَانٍ ضَيِّقٍ حَيْثُ لَيْسَ سَبِيلٌ لِلنُّكُوبِ يَمِينًا أَوْ شِمَالًا. | ٢٦ 26 |
and the messenger of Jehovah addeth to pass over, and standeth in a strait place where there is no way to turn aside — right or left —
| فَلَمَّا أَبْصَرَتِ ٱلْأَتَانُ مَلَاكَ ٱلرَّبِّ، رَبَضَتْ تَحْتَ بَلْعَامَ. فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ بَلْعَامَ وَضَرَبَ ٱلْأَتَانَ بِٱلْقَضِيبِ. | ٢٧ 27 |
and the ass seeth the messenger of Jehovah, and croucheth under Balaam, and the anger of Balaam burneth, and he smiteth the ass with a staff.
| فَفَتَحَ ٱلرَّبُّ فَمَ ٱلْأَتَانِ، فَقَالَتْ لِبَلْعَامَ: «مَاذَا صَنَعْتُ بِكَ حَتَّى ضَرَبْتَنِي ٱلْآنَ ثَلَاثَ دَفَعَاتٍ؟». | ٢٨ 28 |
And Jehovah openeth the mouth of the ass, and she saith to Balaam, 'What have I done to thee that thou hast smitten me these three times?'
| فَقَالَ بَلْعَامُ لِلْأَتَانِ: «لِأَنَّكِ ٱزْدَرَيْتِ بِي. لَوْ كَانَ فِي يَدِي سَيْفٌ لَكُنْتُ ٱلْآنَ قَدْ قَتَلْتُكِ». | ٢٩ 29 |
and Balaam saith to the ass, 'Because thou hast rolled thyself against me; oh that there were a sword in my hand, for now I had slain thee;'
| فَقَالَتِ ٱلْأَتَانُ لِبَلْعَامَ: «أَلَسْتُ أَنَا أَتَانَكَ ٱلَّتِي رَكِبْتَ عَلَيْهَا مُنْذُ وُجُودِكَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ؟ هَلْ تَعَوَّدْتُ أَنْ أَفْعَلَ بِكَ هَكَذَا؟» فَقَالَ: «لَا». | ٣٠ 30 |
and the ass saith unto Balaam, 'Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden since [I was] thine unto this day? have I at all been accustomed to do to thee thus?' and he saith, 'No.'
| ثُمَّ كَشَفَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْ عَيْنَيْ بَلْعَامَ، فَأَبْصَرَ مَلَاكَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَاقِفًا فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ وَسَيْفُهُ مَسْلُولٌ فِي يَدِهِ، فَخَرَّ سَاجِدًا عَلَى وَجْهِهِ. | ٣١ 31 |
And Jehovah uncovereth the eyes of Balaam, and he seeth the messenger of Jehovah standing in the way, and his drawn sword in his hand, and he boweth and doth obeisance, to his face;
| فَقَالَ لَهُ مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ: «لِمَاذَا ضَرَبْتَ أَتَانَكَ ٱلْآنَ ثَلَاثَ دَفَعَاتٍ؟ هَأَنَذَا قَدْ خَرَجْتُ لِلْمُقَاوَمَةِ لِأَنَّ ٱلطَّرِيقَ وَرْطَةٌ أَمَامِي، | ٣٢ 32 |
and the messenger of Jehovah saith unto him, 'Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? lo, I — I have come out for an adversary, for [thy] way hath been perverse before me,
| فَأَبْصَرَتْنِي ٱلْأَتَانُ وَمَالَتْ مِنْ قُدَّامِي ٱلْآنَ ثَلَاثَ دَفَعَاتٍ. وَلَوْ لَمْ تَمِلْ مِنْ قُدَّامِي لَكُنْتُ ٱلْآنَ قَدْ قَتَلْتُكَ وَٱسْتَبْقَيْتُهَا». | ٣٣ 33 |
and the ass seeth me, and turneth aside at my presence these three times; unless she had turned aside from my presence, surely now also, thee I had slain, and her kept alive.'
| فَقَالَ بَلْعَامُ لِمَلَاكِ ٱلرَّبِّ: «أَخْطَأْتُ. إِنِّي لَمْ أَعْلَمْ أَنَّكَ وَاقِفٌ تِلْقَائِي فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ. وَٱلْآنَ إِنْ قَبُحَ فِي عَيْنَيْكَ فَإِنِّي أَرْجِعُ». | ٣٤ 34 |
And Balaam saith unto the messenger of Jehovah, 'I have sinned, for I did not know that thou [art] standing to meet me in the way; and now, if evil in thine eyes — I turn back by myself.'
| فَقَالَ مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ لِبَلْعَامَ: «ٱذْهَبْ مَعَ ٱلرِّجَالِ، وَإِنَّمَا تَتَكَلَّمُ بِٱلْكَلَامِ ٱلَّذِي أُكَلِّمُكَ بِهِ فَقَطْ». فَٱنْطَلَقَ بَلْعَامُ مَعَ رُؤَسَاءِ بَالَاقَ. | ٣٥ 35 |
And the messenger of Jehovah saith unto Balaam, 'Go with the men; and only the word which I speak unto thee — it thou dost speak;' and Balaam goeth with the princes of Balak.
| فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ بَالَاقُ أَنَّ بَلْعَامَ جَاءَ، خَرَجَ لِٱسْتِقْبَالِهِ إِلَى مَدِينَةِ مُوآبَ ٱلَّتِي عَلَى تَخْمِ أَرْنُونَ ٱلَّذِي فِي أَقْصَى ٱلتُّخُومِ. | ٣٦ 36 |
And Balak heareth that Balaam hath come, and goeth out to meet him, unto a city of Moab, which [is] on the border of Arnon, which [is] in the extremity of the border;
| فَقَالَ بَالَاقُ لِبَلْعَامَ: «أَلَمْ أُرْسِلْ إِلَيْكَ لِأَدْعُوَكَ؟ لِمَاذَا لَمْ تَأْتِ إِلَيَّ؟ أَحَقًّا لَا أَقْدِرُ أَنْ أُكْرِمَكَ؟» | ٣٧ 37 |
and Balak saith unto Balaam, 'Did I not diligently sent unto thee to call for thee? why didst thou not come unto me? am I not truly able to honour thee?'
| فَقَالَ بَلْعَامُ لِبَالَاقَ: «هَأَنَذَا قَدْ جِئْتُ إِلَيْكَ. أَلَعَلِّي ٱلْآنَ أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أَتَكَلَّمَ بِشَيْءٍ؟ اَلْكَلَامُ ٱلَّذِي يَضَعُهُ ٱللهُ فِي فَمِي بِهِ أَتَكَلَّمُ». | ٣٨ 38 |
And Balaam saith unto Balak, 'Lo, I have come unto thee; now — am I at all able to speak anything? the word which God setteth in my mouth — it I do speak.'
| فَٱنْطَلَقَ بَلْعَامُ مَعَ بَالَاقَ وَأَتَيَا إِلَى قَرْيَةِ حَصُوتَ. | ٣٩ 39 |
And Balaam goeth with Balak, and they come to Kirjath-Huzoth,
| فَذَبَحَ بَالَاقُ بَقَرًا وَغَنَمًا، وَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى بَلْعَامَ وَإِلَى ٱلرُّؤَسَاءِ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ. | ٤٠ 40 |
and Balak sacrificeth oxen and sheep, and sendeth to Balaam, and to the princes who [are] with him;
| وَفِي ٱلصَّبَاحِ أَخَذَ بَالَاقُ بَلْعَامَ وَأَصْعَدَهُ إِلَى مُرْتَفَعَاتِ بَعْلٍ، فَرَأَى مِنْ هُنَاكَ أَقْصَى ٱلشَّعْبِ. | ٤١ 41 |
and it cometh to pass in the morning, that Balak taketh Balaam, and causeth him to go up the high places of Baal, and he seeth from thence the extremity of the people.
