اَلْعَدَد 31

١ 1 وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:

Then the Lord said to Moses,

٢ 2 «اِنْتَقِمْ نَقْمَةً لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنَ ٱلْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ، ثُمَّ تُضَمُّ إِلَى قَوْمِكَ».

Give the Midianites punishment for the wrong they did to the children of Israel: and after that you will go to rest with your people.

٣ 3 فَكَلَّمَ مُوسَى ٱلشَّعْبَ قَائِلًا: «جَرِّدُوا مِنْكُمْ رِجَالًا لِلْجُنْدِ، فَيَكُونُوا عَلَى مِدْيَانَ لِيَجْعَلُوا نَقْمَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى مِدْيَانَ.

So Moses said to the people, Let men from among you be armed for war to put into effect against Midian the Lord's punishment on them.

٤ 4 أَلْفًا وَاحِدًا مِنْ كُلِّ سِبْطٍ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ تُرْسِلُونَ لِلْحَرْبِ».

From every tribe of Israel send a thousand to the war.

٥ 5 فَٱخْتِيرَ مِنْ أُلُوفِ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَلْفٌ مِنْ كُلِّ سِبْطٍ. ٱثْنَا عَشَرَ أَلْفًا مُجَرَّدُونَ لِلْحَرْبِ.

So from the thousands of Israel a thousand were taken from every tribe, twelve thousand men armed for war.

٦ 6 فَأَرْسَلَهُمْ مُوسَى أَلْفًا مِنْ كُلِّ سِبْطٍ إِلَى ٱلْحَرْبِ، هُمْ وَفِينْحَاسَ بْنَ أَلِعَازَارَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ إِلَى ٱلْحَرْبِ، وَأَمْتِعَةُ ٱلْقُدْسِ وَأَبْوَاقُ ٱلْهُتَافِ فِي يَدِهِ.

And Moses sent them out to war, a thousand from every tribe, and with them Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest, taking in his hands the vessels of the holy place and the horns for sounding the note of war.

٧ 7 فَتَجَنَّدُوا عَلَى مِدْيَانَ كَمَا أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ وَقَتَلُوا كُلَّ ذَكَرٍ.

And they made war on Midian, as the Lord gave orders to Moses; and they put to death every male.

٨ 8 وَمُلُوكُ مِدْيَانَ قَتَلُوهُمْ فَوْقَ قَتْلَاهُمْ: أَوِيَ وَرَاقِمَ وَصُورَ وَحُورَ وَرَابِعَ. خَمْسَةَ مُلُوكِ مِدْيَانَ. وَبَلْعَامَ بْنَ بَعُورَ قَتَلُوهُ بِٱلسَّيْفِ.

They put the kings of Midian to death with the rest, Evi and Reken and Zur and Hur and Reba, the five kings of Midian: and Balaam, the son of Beor, they put to death with the sword.

٩ 9 وَسَبَى بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ نِسَاءَ مِدْيَانَ وَأَطْفَالَهُمْ، وَنَهَبُوا جَمِيعَ بَهَائِمِهِمْ، وَجَمِيعَ مَوَاشِيهِمْ وَكُلَّ أَمْلَاكِهِمْ.

The women of Midian with their little ones the children of Israel took prisoner; and all their cattle and flocks and all their goods they took for themselves;

١٠ 10 وَأَحْرَقُوا جَمِيعَ مُدُنِهِمْ بِمَسَاكِنِهِمْ، وَجَمِيعَ حُصُونِهِمْ بِٱلنَّارِ.

And after burning all their towns and all their tent-circles,

١١ 11 وَأَخَذُوا كُلَّ ٱلْغَنِيمَةِ وَكُلَّ ٱلنَّهْبِ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَٱلْبَهَائِمِ،

They went away with the goods they had taken, man and beast.

١٢ 12 وَأَتَوْا إِلَى مُوسَى وَأَلِعَازَارَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ وَإِلَى جَمَاعَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بِٱلسَّبْيِ وَٱلنَّهْبِ وَٱلْغَنِيمَةِ إِلَى ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ إِلَى عَرَبَاتِ مُوآبَ ٱلَّتِي عَلَى أُرْدُنِّ أَرِيحَا.

And the prisoners and the goods and everything they had taken, they took to Moses and Eleazar the priest and the people of Israel, to the tent-circle in the lowlands of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.

١٣ 13 فَخَرَجَ مُوسَى وَأَلِعَازَارُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ وَكُلُّ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ لِٱسْتِقْبَالِهِمْ إِلَى خَارِجِ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ.

Then Moses and Eleazar the priest and the chiefs of the people went out to them before they had come into the tent-circle.

١٤ 14 فَسَخَطَ مُوسَى عَلَى وُكَلَاءِ ٱلْجَيْشِ، رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْأُلُوفِ وَرُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْمِئَاتِ ٱلْقَادِمِينَ مِنْ جُنْدِ ٱلْحَرْبِ.

And Moses was angry with the chiefs of the army, the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds who had come back from the war.

١٥ 15 وَقَالَ لَهُمْ مُوسَى: «هَلْ أَبْقَيْتُمْ كُلَّ أُنْثَى حَيَّةً؟

And Moses said to them, Why have you kept all the women safe?

١٦ 16 إِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ كُنَّ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، حَسَبَ كَلَامِ بَلْعَامَ، سَبَبَ خِيَانَةٍ لِلرَّبِّ فِي أَمْرِ فَغُورَ، فَكَانَ ٱلْوَبَأُ فِي جَمَاعَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

It was these who, moved by Balaam, were the cause of Israel's sin against the Lord in the question of Peor, because of which disease came on the people of the Lord.

١٧ 17 فَٱلْآنَ ٱقْتُلُوا كُلَّ ذَكَرٍ مِنَ ٱلْأَطْفَالِ. وَكُلَّ ٱمْرَأَةٍ عَرَفَتْ رَجُلًا بِمُضَاجَعَةِ ذَكَرٍ ٱقْتُلُوهَا.

So now put every male child to death, and every woman who has had sex relations with a man.

١٨ 18 لَكِنْ جَمِيعُ ٱلْأَطْفَالِ مِنَ ٱلنِّسَاءِ ٱللَّوَاتِي لَمْ يَعْرِفْنَ مُضَاجَعَةَ ذَكَرٍ أَبْقُوهُنَّ لَكُمْ حَيَّاتٍ.

But all the female children who have had no sex relations with men, you may keep for yourselves.

١٩ 19 وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَٱنْزِلُوا خَارِجَ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ، وَتَطَهَّرُوا كُلُّ مَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْسًا، وَكُلُّ مَنْ مَسَّ قَتِيلًا، فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ وَفِي ٱلسَّابِعِ، أَنْتُمْ وَسَبْيُكُمْ.

You yourselves will have to keep outside the tent-circle for seven days, anyone of you who has put any person to death or come near a dead body; and on the third day and on the seventh day make yourselves and your prisoners clean.

٢٠ 20 وَكُلُّ ثَوْبٍ، وَكُلُّ مَتَاعٍ مِنْ جِلْدٍ، وَكُلُّ مَصْنُوعٍ مِنْ شَعْرِ مَعْزٍ، وَكُلُّ مَتَاعٍ مِنْ خَشَبٍ، تُطَهِّرُونَهُ».

And every bit of clothing, and anything made of leather or goats' hair or wood, you are to make clean.

٢١ 21 وَقَالَ أَلِعَازَارُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ لِرِجَالِ ٱلْجُنْدِ ٱلَّذِينَ ذَهَبُوا لِلْحَرْبِ: «هَذِهِ فَرِيضَةُ ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَمَرَ بِهَا ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى:

Then Eleazar the priest said to the men of war who had been to the fight, This is the rule of the law which the Lord has given to Moses:

٢٢ 22 اَلذَّهَبُ وَٱلْفِضَّةُ وَٱلنُّحَاسُ وَٱلْحَدِيدُ وَٱلْقَصْدِيرُ وَٱلرَّصَاصُ،

But gold and silver and brass and iron and tin and lead,

٢٣ 23 كُلُّ مَا يَدْخُلُ ٱلنَّارَ، تُجِيزُونَهُ فِي ٱلنَّارِ فَيَكُونُ طَاهِرًا، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ يَتَطَهَّرُ بِمَاءِ ٱلنَّجَاسَةِ. وَأَمَّا كُلُّ مَا لَا يَدْخُلُ ٱلنَّارَ فَتُجِيزُونَهُ فِي ٱلْمَاءِ.

And anything which may be heated, is to go through the fire and be made clean; but in addition it is to be put in the water of cleaning: and anything which may not go through the fire is to be put in the water.

٢٤ 24 وَتَغْسِلُونَ ثِيَابَكُمْ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ فَتَكُونُونَ طَاهِرِينَ، وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ تَدْخُلُونَ ٱلْمَحَلَّةَ».

And on the seventh day, after washing your clothing, you will be clean, and then you may come into the tent-circle.

٢٥ 25 وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:

And the Lord said to Moses,

٢٦ 26 «أَحْصِ ٱلنَّهْبَ ٱلْمَسْبِيَّ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَٱلْبَهَائِمِ، أَنْتَ وَأَلِعَازَارُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ وَرُؤُوسُ آبَاءِ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ.

Get an account of everything which was taken in the war, of man and of beast, you and Eleazar the priest and the heads of families of the people:

٢٧ 27 وَنَصِّفِ ٱلنَّهْبَ بَيْنَ ٱلَّذِينَ بَاشَرُوا ٱلْقِتَالَ ٱلْخَارِجِينَ إِلَى ٱلْحَرْبِ، وَبَيْنَ كُلِّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ.

And let division be made of it into two parts, one for the men of war who went out to the fight, and one for all the people:

٢٨ 28 وَٱرْفَعْ زَكَاةً لِلرَّبِّ. مِنْ رِجَالِ ٱلْحَرْبِ ٱلْخَارِجِينَ إِلَى ٱلْقِتَالِ وَاحِدَةً. نَفْسًا مِنْ كُلِّ خَمْسِ مِئَةٍ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَٱلْبَقَرِ وَٱلْحَمِيرِ وَٱلْغَنَمِ.

And from the men of war who went out let there be offered to the Lord one out of every five hundred, from the persons, and from the oxen and asses and sheep:

٢٩ 29 مِنْ نِصْفِهِمْ تَأْخُذُونَهَا وَتُعْطُونَهَا لِأَلِعَازَارَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ رَفِيعَةً لِلرَّبِّ.

Take this from their part and give it to Eleazar the priest as an offering to be lifted up to the Lord.

٣٠ 30 وَمِنْ نِصْفِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ تَأْخُذُ وَاحِدَةً مَأْخُوذَةً مِنْ كُلِّ خَمْسِينَ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَٱلْبَقَرِ وَٱلْحَمِيرِ وَٱلْغَنَمِ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلْبَهَائِمِ، وَتُعْطِيهَا لِلَّاوِيِّينَ ٱلْحَافِظِينَ شَعَائِرَ مَسْكَنِ ٱلرَّبِّ».

And from the part given to the children of Israel, take one out of every fifty, from the persons, and from the oxen and asses and sheep, and give it to the Levites who have the care of the House of the Lord.

٣١ 31 فَفَعَلَ مُوسَى وَأَلِعَازَارُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ كَمَا أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى.

So Eleazar and Moses did as the Lord had given orders to Moses.

٣٢ 32 وَكَانَ ٱلنَّهْبُ فَضْلَةُ ٱلْغَنِيمَةِ ٱلَّتِي ٱغْتَنَمَهَا رِجَالُ ٱلْجُنْدِ: مِنَ ٱلْغَنَمِ سِتَّ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسَةً وَسَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا،

Now the beasts taken, in addition to what the fighting-men took for themselves, were six hundred and seventy-five thousand sheep,

٣٣ 33 وَمِنَ ٱلْبَقَرِ ٱثْنَيْنِ وَسَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا،

And seventy-two thousand oxen,

٣٤ 34 وَمِنَ ٱلْحَمِيرِ وَاحِدًا وَسِتِّينَ أَلْفًا،

And sixty-one thousand asses;

٣٥ 35 وَمِنْ نُفُوسِ ٱلنَّاسِ مِنَ ٱلنِّسَاءِ ٱللَّوَاتِي لَمْ يَعْرِفْنَ مُضَاجَعَةَ ذَكَرٍ، جَمِيعِ ٱلنُّفُوسِ ٱثْنَيْنِ وَثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفًا.

And thirty-two thousand persons, that is, women who had never had sex relations with a man.

٣٦ 36 وَكَانَ ٱلنِّصْفُ نَصِيبُ ٱلْخَارِجِينَ إِلَى ٱلْحَرْبِ: عَدَدُ ٱلْغَنَمِ ثَلَاثَ مِئَةٍ وَسَبْعَةً وَثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفًا وَخَمْسَ مِئَةٍ.

And the half given as their part to the men who went to the war, was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand, five hundred sheep,

٣٧ 37 وَكَانَتِ ٱلزَّكَاةُ لِلرَّبِّ مِنَ ٱلْغَنَمِ سِتَّ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسَةً وَسَبْعِينَ،

Of which the Lord's part was six hundred and seventy-five.

٣٨ 38 وَٱلْبَقَرُ سِتَّةً وَثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفًا، وَزَكَاتُهَا لِلرَّبِّ ٱثْنَيْنِ وَسَبْعِينَ،

The number of oxen was thirty-six thousand, of which the Lord's part was seventy-two;

٣٩ 39 وَٱلْحَمِيرُ ثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفًا وَخَمْسَ مِئَةٍ، وَزَكَاتُهَا لِلرَّبِّ وَاحِدًا وَسِتِّينَ،

The number of asses was thirty thousand, five hundred, of which the Lord's part was sixty-one.

٤٠ 40 وَنُفُوسُ ٱلنَّاسِ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ أَلْفًا، وَزَكَاتُهَا لِلرَّبِّ ٱثْنَيْنِ وَثَلَاثِينَ نَفْسًا.

And the number of persons was sixteen thousand, of which the Lord's part was thirty-two persons.

٤١ 41 فَأَعْطَى مُوسَى ٱلزَّكَاةَ رَفِيعَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ لِأَلِعَازَارَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ كَمَا أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى.

And Moses gave the Lord's part, lifted up as an offering, to Eleazar the priest, as the Lord had given orders to Moses.

٤٢ 42 وَأَمَّا نِصْفُ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِي قَسَمَهُ مُوسَى مِنَ ٱلرِّجَالِ ٱلْمُتَجَنِّدِينَ:

And from the half given to the children of Israel, which Moses had kept separate from that given to the fighting-men,

٤٣ 43 فَكَانَ نِصْفُ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ مِنَ ٱلْغَنَمِ ثَلَاثَ مِئَةٍ وَسَبْعَةً وَثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفًا وَخَمْسَ مِئَةٍ،

(Now the people's half was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand, five hundred sheep,

٤٤ 44 وَمِنَ ٱلْبَقَرِ سِتَّةً وَثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفًا،

And thirty-six thousand oxen,

٤٥ 45 وَمِنَ ٱلْحَمِيرِ ثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفًا وَخَمْسَ مِئَةٍ،

And thirty thousand, five hundred asses,

٤٦ 46 وَمِنْ نُفُوسِ ٱلنَّاسِ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ أَلْفًا.

And sixteen thousand persons; )

٤٧ 47 فَأَخَذَ مُوسَى مِنْ نِصْفِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلْمَأْخُوذِ وَاحِدًا مِنْ كُلِّ خَمْسِينَ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَمِنَ ٱلْبَهَائِمِ، وَأَعْطَاهَا لِلَّاوِيِّينَ ٱلْحَافِظِينَ شَعَائِرَ مَسْكَنِ ٱلرَّبِّ، كَمَا أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى.

Even from the children of Israel's half, Moses took one out of every fifty, men and beasts, and gave them to the Levites who had the care of the House of the Lord; as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

٤٨ 48 ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمَ إِلَى مُوسَى ٱلْوُكَلَاءُ ٱلَّذِينَ عَلَى أُلُوفِ ٱلْجُنْدِ، رُؤَسَاءُ ٱلْأُلُوفِ وَرُؤَسَاءُ ٱلْمِئَاتِ،

Then the men in authority over the thousands of the army, the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, came to Moses,

٤٩ 49 وَقَالُوا لِمُوسَى: «عَبِيدُكَ قَدْ أَخَذُوا عَدَدَ رِجَالِ ٱلْحَرْبِ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي أَيْدِينَا فَلَمْ يُفْقَدْ مِنَّا إِنْسَانٌ.

And said to him, Your servants have taken note of the number of all the fighting-men under our orders, and every one is present;

٥٠ 50 فَقَدْ قَدَّمْنَا قُرْبَانَ ٱلرَّبِّ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مَا وَجَدَهُ، أَمْتِعَةَ ذَهَبٍ: حُجُولًا وَأَسَاوِرَ وَخَوَاتِمَ وَأَقْرَاطًا وَقَلَائِدَ، لِلتَّكْفِيرِ عَنْ أَنْفُسِنَا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ».

And we have here an offering for the Lord from what every man took in the war, ornaments of gold, leg-chains and arm-rings, finger-rings, ear-rings, and neck-ornaments, to make our souls free from sin before the Lord.

٥١ 51 فَأَخَذَ مُوسَى وَأَلِعَازَارُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ ٱلذَّهَبَ مِنْهُمْ، كُلَّ أَمْتِعَةٍ مَصْنُوعَةٍ.

So Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from them, even all the worked ornaments.

٥٢ 52 وَكَانَ كُلُّ ذَهَبِ ٱلرَّفِيعَةِ ٱلَّتِي رَفَعُوهَا لِلرَّبِّ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ أَلْفًا وَسَبْعَ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسِينَ شَاقِلًا مِنْ عِنْدِ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْأُلُوفِ وَرُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْمِئَاتِ.

And the gold which the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds gave, as an offering to be lifted up before the Lord, came to sixteen thousand, seven hundred and fifty shekels.

٥٣ 53 أَمَّا رِجَالُ ٱلْجُنْدِ فَٱغْتَنَمُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ لِنَفْسِهِ.

(For every man of the army had taken goods for himself in the war.)

٥٤ 54 فَأَخَذَ مُوسَى وَأَلِعَازَارُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ ٱلذَّهَبَ مِنْ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْأُلُوفِ وَٱلْمِئَاتِ وَأَتَيَا بِهِ إِلَى خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ تَذْكَارًا لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ.

Then Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold given by the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, and took it into the Tent of meeting, to be a sign in memory of the children of Israel before the Lord.
