وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا: ١ 1
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
«اِنْتَقِمْ نَقْمَةً لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنَ ٱلْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ، ثُمَّ تُضَمُّ إِلَى قَوْمِكَ». ٢ 2
“First, avenge the sons of Israel from the Midianites, and then you shall be gathered to your people.”
فَكَلَّمَ مُوسَى ٱلشَّعْبَ قَائِلًا: «جَرِّدُوا مِنْكُمْ رِجَالًا لِلْجُنْدِ، فَيَكُونُوا عَلَى مِدْيَانَ لِيَجْعَلُوا نَقْمَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى مِدْيَانَ. ٣ 3
And immediately Moses said: “Arm the men among you for a battle, so that they may be able to fulfill the retribution of the Lord on the Midianites.
أَلْفًا وَاحِدًا مِنْ كُلِّ سِبْطٍ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ تُرْسِلُونَ لِلْحَرْبِ». ٤ 4
Let one thousand men be chosen from each tribe of Israel, who shall be sent to war.”
فَٱخْتِيرَ مِنْ أُلُوفِ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَلْفٌ مِنْ كُلِّ سِبْطٍ. ٱثْنَا عَشَرَ أَلْفًا مُجَرَّدُونَ لِلْحَرْبِ. ٥ 5
And they gave one thousand from each tribe, that is, twelve thousand foot soldiers for battle.
فَأَرْسَلَهُمْ مُوسَى أَلْفًا مِنْ كُلِّ سِبْطٍ إِلَى ٱلْحَرْبِ، هُمْ وَفِينْحَاسَ بْنَ أَلِعَازَارَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ إِلَى ٱلْحَرْبِ، وَأَمْتِعَةُ ٱلْقُدْسِ وَأَبْوَاقُ ٱلْهُتَافِ فِي يَدِهِ. ٦ 6
And Moses sent them with Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest; also, he delivered to him the holy vessels, and the trumpets to sound.
فَتَجَنَّدُوا عَلَى مِدْيَانَ كَمَا أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ وَقَتَلُوا كُلَّ ذَكَرٍ. ٧ 7
And when they had fought against the Midianites and had prevailed, they killed all the men.
وَمُلُوكُ مِدْيَانَ قَتَلُوهُمْ فَوْقَ قَتْلَاهُمْ: أَوِيَ وَرَاقِمَ وَصُورَ وَحُورَ وَرَابِعَ. خَمْسَةَ مُلُوكِ مِدْيَانَ. وَبَلْعَامَ بْنَ بَعُورَ قَتَلُوهُ بِٱلسَّيْفِ. ٨ 8
And they put to death by the sword their kings: Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the five leaders of the nation, and also Balaam the son of Beor.
وَسَبَى بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ نِسَاءَ مِدْيَانَ وَأَطْفَالَهُمْ، وَنَهَبُوا جَمِيعَ بَهَائِمِهِمْ، وَجَمِيعَ مَوَاشِيهِمْ وَكُلَّ أَمْلَاكِهِمْ. ٩ 9
And they seized their women and little ones, and all their cattle, and all their goods; whatever they were able to have, they despoiled.
وَأَحْرَقُوا جَمِيعَ مُدُنِهِمْ بِمَسَاكِنِهِمْ، وَجَمِيعَ حُصُونِهِمْ بِٱلنَّارِ. ١٠ 10
Both their cities and their villages, as well as their fortresses, they burned.
وَأَخَذُوا كُلَّ ٱلْغَنِيمَةِ وَكُلَّ ٱلنَّهْبِ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَٱلْبَهَائِمِ، ١١ 11
And they carried away prey from everything that they had seized, both of men and of beasts.
وَأَتَوْا إِلَى مُوسَى وَأَلِعَازَارَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ وَإِلَى جَمَاعَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بِٱلسَّبْيِ وَٱلنَّهْبِ وَٱلْغَنِيمَةِ إِلَى ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ إِلَى عَرَبَاتِ مُوآبَ ٱلَّتِي عَلَى أُرْدُنِّ أَرِيحَا. ١٢ 12
And they led these to Moses and Eleazar the priest, and to all the multitude of the sons of Israel. But the remainder of the articles they carried to the camp on the plains of Moab, next to the Jordan, opposite Jericho.
فَخَرَجَ مُوسَى وَأَلِعَازَارُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ وَكُلُّ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ لِٱسْتِقْبَالِهِمْ إِلَى خَارِجِ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ. ١٣ 13
Then Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the leaders of the assembly went out to meet them beyond the camp.
فَسَخَطَ مُوسَى عَلَى وُكَلَاءِ ٱلْجَيْشِ، رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْأُلُوفِ وَرُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْمِئَاتِ ٱلْقَادِمِينَ مِنْ جُنْدِ ٱلْحَرْبِ. ١٤ 14
And Moses, being angry with the leaders of the army, and the tribunes, and the centurions, who had arrived from the battle,
وَقَالَ لَهُمْ مُوسَى: «هَلْ أَبْقَيْتُمْ كُلَّ أُنْثَى حَيَّةً؟ ١٥ 15
said: “Why have you spared the females?
إِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ كُنَّ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، حَسَبَ كَلَامِ بَلْعَامَ، سَبَبَ خِيَانَةٍ لِلرَّبِّ فِي أَمْرِ فَغُورَ، فَكَانَ ٱلْوَبَأُ فِي جَمَاعَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ. ١٦ 16
Are not these the ones who deceived the sons of Israel at the suggestion of Balaam, and who caused you betray the Lord by the sin of Peor, because of which the people also were struck down?
فَٱلْآنَ ٱقْتُلُوا كُلَّ ذَكَرٍ مِنَ ٱلْأَطْفَالِ. وَكُلَّ ٱمْرَأَةٍ عَرَفَتْ رَجُلًا بِمُضَاجَعَةِ ذَكَرٍ ٱقْتُلُوهَا. ١٧ 17
Therefore, put to death all of them: whatever is of the male sex, even among the little ones, and cut the throats of those women who have known men by sexual relations.
لَكِنْ جَمِيعُ ٱلْأَطْفَالِ مِنَ ٱلنِّسَاءِ ٱللَّوَاتِي لَمْ يَعْرِفْنَ مُضَاجَعَةَ ذَكَرٍ أَبْقُوهُنَّ لَكُمْ حَيَّاتٍ. ١٨ 18
But the young girls, and all female virgins, reserve for yourselves.
وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَٱنْزِلُوا خَارِجَ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ، وَتَطَهَّرُوا كُلُّ مَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْسًا، وَكُلُّ مَنْ مَسَّ قَتِيلًا، فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ وَفِي ٱلسَّابِعِ، أَنْتُمْ وَسَبْيُكُمْ. ١٩ 19
And remain beyond the camp for seven days. Whoever has killed a man, or who has touched one that was killed, shall be purified on the third day and on the seventh day.
وَكُلُّ ثَوْبٍ، وَكُلُّ مَتَاعٍ مِنْ جِلْدٍ، وَكُلُّ مَصْنُوعٍ مِنْ شَعْرِ مَعْزٍ، وَكُلُّ مَتَاعٍ مِنْ خَشَبٍ، تُطَهِّرُونَهُ». ٢٠ 20
And all of the spoils, whether it is a garment, or a vessel, or another useful thing, made from the pelts or hair of goats, or from wood, shall be expiated.”
وَقَالَ أَلِعَازَارُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ لِرِجَالِ ٱلْجُنْدِ ٱلَّذِينَ ذَهَبُوا لِلْحَرْبِ: «هَذِهِ فَرِيضَةُ ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَمَرَ بِهَا ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى: ٢١ 21
Likewise, Eleazar the priest spoke in this manner to the men of the army who had fought: “This is the precept of the law, which the Lord has commanded Moses:
اَلذَّهَبُ وَٱلْفِضَّةُ وَٱلنُّحَاسُ وَٱلْحَدِيدُ وَٱلْقَصْدِيرُ وَٱلرَّصَاصُ، ٢٢ 22
Gold, and silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin,
كُلُّ مَا يَدْخُلُ ٱلنَّارَ، تُجِيزُونَهُ فِي ٱلنَّارِ فَيَكُونُ طَاهِرًا، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ يَتَطَهَّرُ بِمَاءِ ٱلنَّجَاسَةِ. وَأَمَّا كُلُّ مَا لَا يَدْخُلُ ٱلنَّارَ فَتُجِيزُونَهُ فِي ٱلْمَاءِ. ٢٣ 23
and all that may be able to pass through fire, shall be purified by fire. But whatever is not able to sustain fire shall be sanctified with the waters of expiation.
وَتَغْسِلُونَ ثِيَابَكُمْ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ فَتَكُونُونَ طَاهِرِينَ، وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ تَدْخُلُونَ ٱلْمَحَلَّةَ». ٢٤ 24
And you shall wash your garments on the seventh day, and, after having been purified, you shall enter the camp.”
وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا: ٢٥ 25
And the Lord also said to Moses:
«أَحْصِ ٱلنَّهْبَ ٱلْمَسْبِيَّ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَٱلْبَهَائِمِ، أَنْتَ وَأَلِعَازَارُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ وَرُؤُوسُ آبَاءِ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ. ٢٦ 26
“Take the sum of those things which were captured, from man even to beast, you and Eleazar the priest, and the leaders of the common people.
وَنَصِّفِ ٱلنَّهْبَ بَيْنَ ٱلَّذِينَ بَاشَرُوا ٱلْقِتَالَ ٱلْخَارِجِينَ إِلَى ٱلْحَرْبِ، وَبَيْنَ كُلِّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ. ٢٧ 27
And you shall divide the prey equally, among those who went out to war and fought, and among the remainder of the multitude.
وَٱرْفَعْ زَكَاةً لِلرَّبِّ. مِنْ رِجَالِ ٱلْحَرْبِ ٱلْخَارِجِينَ إِلَى ٱلْقِتَالِ وَاحِدَةً. نَفْسًا مِنْ كُلِّ خَمْسِ مِئَةٍ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَٱلْبَقَرِ وَٱلْحَمِيرِ وَٱلْغَنَمِ. ٢٨ 28
And you shall separate a portion for the Lord from the portion of those who fought and were in the battle: one soul out of five hundred, as much from humans, as from oxen and donkeys and sheep.
مِنْ نِصْفِهِمْ تَأْخُذُونَهَا وَتُعْطُونَهَا لِأَلِعَازَارَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ رَفِيعَةً لِلرَّبِّ. ٢٩ 29
And you shall give it to Eleazar the priest, because these are the first-fruits of the Lord.
وَمِنْ نِصْفِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ تَأْخُذُ وَاحِدَةً مَأْخُوذَةً مِنْ كُلِّ خَمْسِينَ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَٱلْبَقَرِ وَٱلْحَمِيرِ وَٱلْغَنَمِ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلْبَهَائِمِ، وَتُعْطِيهَا لِلَّاوِيِّينَ ٱلْحَافِظِينَ شَعَائِرَ مَسْكَنِ ٱلرَّبِّ». ٣٠ 30
Likewise, from the half of the portion belonging to the sons of Israel, you shall receive the fiftieth head of humans, and of oxen, and donkeys, and sheep, and of all living things, and you shall give these to the Levites who stand watch over the care of the tabernacle of the Lord.”
فَفَعَلَ مُوسَى وَأَلِعَازَارُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ كَمَا أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى. ٣١ 31
And Moses and Eleazar did just as the Lord had instructed.
وَكَانَ ٱلنَّهْبُ فَضْلَةُ ٱلْغَنِيمَةِ ٱلَّتِي ٱغْتَنَمَهَا رِجَالُ ٱلْجُنْدِ: مِنَ ٱلْغَنَمِ سِتَّ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسَةً وَسَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا، ٣٢ 32
Now the prey which the army had seized was six hundred seventy-five thousand sheep,
وَمِنَ ٱلْبَقَرِ ٱثْنَيْنِ وَسَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا، ٣٣ 33
seventy-two thousand oxen,
وَمِنَ ٱلْحَمِيرِ وَاحِدًا وَسِتِّينَ أَلْفًا، ٣٤ 34
sixty-one thousand donkeys,
وَمِنْ نُفُوسِ ٱلنَّاسِ مِنَ ٱلنِّسَاءِ ٱللَّوَاتِي لَمْ يَعْرِفْنَ مُضَاجَعَةَ ذَكَرٍ، جَمِيعِ ٱلنُّفُوسِ ٱثْنَيْنِ وَثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفًا. ٣٥ 35
and thirty-two thousand human lives, of the female sex, who had not known men.
وَكَانَ ٱلنِّصْفُ نَصِيبُ ٱلْخَارِجِينَ إِلَى ٱلْحَرْبِ: عَدَدُ ٱلْغَنَمِ ثَلَاثَ مِئَةٍ وَسَبْعَةً وَثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفًا وَخَمْسَ مِئَةٍ. ٣٦ 36
And one half of the portion was given to those who had been in the battle: three hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep.
وَكَانَتِ ٱلزَّكَاةُ لِلرَّبِّ مِنَ ٱلْغَنَمِ سِتَّ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسَةً وَسَبْعِينَ، ٣٧ 37
From these, for the portion of the Lord, there were accounted: six hundred seventy-five sheep;
وَٱلْبَقَرُ سِتَّةً وَثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفًا، وَزَكَاتُهَا لِلرَّبِّ ٱثْنَيْنِ وَسَبْعِينَ، ٣٨ 38
and from the thirty-six thousand oxen, seventy-two oxen;
وَٱلْحَمِيرُ ثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفًا وَخَمْسَ مِئَةٍ، وَزَكَاتُهَا لِلرَّبِّ وَاحِدًا وَسِتِّينَ، ٣٩ 39
from the thirty thousand five hundred donkeys, sixty-one donkeys.
وَنُفُوسُ ٱلنَّاسِ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ أَلْفًا، وَزَكَاتُهَا لِلرَّبِّ ٱثْنَيْنِ وَثَلَاثِينَ نَفْسًا. ٤٠ 40
From the sixteen thousand human souls, there fell to the portion of the Lord thirty-two souls.
فَأَعْطَى مُوسَى ٱلزَّكَاةَ رَفِيعَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ لِأَلِعَازَارَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ كَمَا أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى. ٤١ 41
And Moses delivered the number of the first-fruits of the Lord to Eleazar the priest, just as had been commanded of him,
وَأَمَّا نِصْفُ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِي قَسَمَهُ مُوسَى مِنَ ٱلرِّجَالِ ٱلْمُتَجَنِّدِينَ: ٤٢ 42
from the one half portion belonging to the sons of Israel, which he had separated from the portion of those who had been in the battle.
فَكَانَ نِصْفُ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ مِنَ ٱلْغَنَمِ ثَلَاثَ مِئَةٍ وَسَبْعَةً وَثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفًا وَخَمْسَ مِئَةٍ، ٤٣ 43
Yet truly, from the one half portion which fell to the remainder of the multitude, that is, from the three hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep,
وَمِنَ ٱلْبَقَرِ سِتَّةً وَثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفًا، ٤٤ 44
and from the thirty-six thousand oxen,
وَمِنَ ٱلْحَمِيرِ ثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفًا وَخَمْسَ مِئَةٍ، ٤٥ 45
and from the thirty thousand five hundred donkeys,
وَمِنْ نُفُوسِ ٱلنَّاسِ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ أَلْفًا. ٤٦ 46
and from the sixteen thousand persons,
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. ٤٧ 47
Moses took the fiftieth head, and gave it to the Levites who stand watch at the tabernacle of the Lord, just as the Lord had instructed.
ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمَ إِلَى مُوسَى ٱلْوُكَلَاءُ ٱلَّذِينَ عَلَى أُلُوفِ ٱلْجُنْدِ، رُؤَسَاءُ ٱلْأُلُوفِ وَرُؤَسَاءُ ٱلْمِئَاتِ، ٤٨ 48
And when the leaders of the army, and the tribunes, and the centurions had approached Moses, they said:
وَقَالُوا لِمُوسَى: «عَبِيدُكَ قَدْ أَخَذُوا عَدَدَ رِجَالِ ٱلْحَرْبِ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي أَيْدِينَا فَلَمْ يُفْقَدْ مِنَّا إِنْسَانٌ. ٤٩ 49
“We, your servants, have taken a census of the number of the fighting men, whom we had under our hand, and indeed not one was lacking.
فَقَدْ قَدَّمْنَا قُرْبَانَ ٱلرَّبِّ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مَا وَجَدَهُ، أَمْتِعَةَ ذَهَبٍ: حُجُولًا وَأَسَاوِرَ وَخَوَاتِمَ وَأَقْرَاطًا وَقَلَائِدَ، لِلتَّكْفِيرِ عَنْ أَنْفُسِنَا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ». ٥٠ 50
For this reason, we offer as gifts to the Lord whatever gold each one was able to find amid the spoils, in anklets and arm bands, rings and bracelets, and little chains, so that you may intercede for us to the Lord.”
فَأَخَذَ مُوسَى وَأَلِعَازَارُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ ٱلذَّهَبَ مِنْهُمْ، كُلَّ أَمْتِعَةٍ مَصْنُوعَةٍ. ٥١ 51
And Moses and Eleazar the priest received all the gold in its various kinds,
وَكَانَ كُلُّ ذَهَبِ ٱلرَّفِيعَةِ ٱلَّتِي رَفَعُوهَا لِلرَّبِّ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ أَلْفًا وَسَبْعَ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسِينَ شَاقِلًا مِنْ عِنْدِ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْأُلُوفِ وَرُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْمِئَاتِ. ٥٢ 52
weighing sixteen thousand seven hundred fifty shekels, from the tribunes and the centurions.
أَمَّا رِجَالُ ٱلْجُنْدِ فَٱغْتَنَمُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ لِنَفْسِهِ. ٥٣ 53
For whatever each one had taken away in the spoils was his own.
فَأَخَذَ مُوسَى وَأَلِعَازَارُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ ٱلذَّهَبَ مِنْ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْأُلُوفِ وَٱلْمِئَاتِ وَأَتَيَا بِهِ إِلَى خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ تَذْكَارًا لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ. ٥٤ 54
And having been accepted, they took it into the tabernacle of the testimony, as a memorial of the sons of Israel before the Lord.
