اَللَّاوِيِّينَ 10

١ 1 وَأَخَذَ ٱبْنَا هَارُونَ: نَادَابُ وَأَبِيهُو، كُلٌّ مِنْهُمَا مِجْمَرَتَهُ وَجَعَلَا فِيهِمَا نَارًا وَوَضَعَا عَلَيْهَا بَخُورًا، وَقَرَّبَا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ نَارًا غَرِيبَةً لَمْ يَأْمُرْهُمَا بِهَا.

Then Aaron’s sons, Nadab and Abihu, took each man his censer and placed therein fire, and put thereon incense, —and brought near before Yahweh strange fire, which he had not commanded them.

٢ 2 فَخَرَجَتْ نَارٌ مِنْ عِنْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَأَكَلَتْهُمَا، فَمَاتَا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ.

Then came there forth fire from before Yahweh, and consumed them, —and they died before Yahweh.

٣ 3 فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِهَارُونَ: «هَذَا مَا تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ قَائِلًا: فِي ٱلْقَرِيبِينَ مِنِّي أَتَقَدَّسُ، وَأَمَامَ جَمِيعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ أَتَمَجَّدُ». فَصَمَتَ هَارُونُ.

Then said Moses unto Aaron—The very thing, that Yahweh spake, saying—In them that draw near to me, must I be hallowed, And before the faces of all the people, must I get myself honour, —And Aaron, was dumb.

٤ 4 فَدَعَا مُوسَى مِيشَائِيلَ وَأَلْصَافَانَ ٱبْنَيْ عُزِّيئِيلَ عَمِّ هَارُونَ، وَقَالَ لَهُمَا: «تَقَدَّمَا ٱرْفَعَا أَخَوَيْكُمَا مِنْ قُدَّامِ ٱلْقُدْسِ إِلَى خَارِجِ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ».

Then called Moses unto Mishael, and unto Elzaphan, sons of Uzziel, uncle of Aaron, —and said unto them—Draw near bear away your brethren from before the sanctuary, unto the outside of the camp.

٥ 5 فَتَقَدَّمَا وَرَفَعَاهُمَا فِي قَمِيصَيْهِمَا إِلَى خَارِجِ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ، كَمَا قَالَ مُوسَى.

So they drew near and bare them away, in their tunics, unto the outside of the camp, —as spake Moses.

٦ 6 وَقَالَ مُوسَى لِهَارُونَ وَأَلِعَازَارَ وَإِيثَامَارَ ٱبْنَيْهِ: «لَا تَكْشِفُوا رُؤُوسَكُمْ وَلَا تَشُقُّوا ثِيَابَكُمْ لِئَلَّا تَمُوتُوا، وَيُسْخَطَ عَلَى كُلِّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ. وَأَمَّا إِخْوَتُكُمْ كُلُّ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فَيَبْكُونَ عَلَى ٱلْحَرِيقِ ٱلَّذِي أَحْرَقَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

Then said Moses unto Aaron and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons—Your heads, ye may not bare and your garments, ye shall not rend so shall ye not die, neither against all the assembly, will he be wroth, —but let, your brethren the whole house of Israel, bewail the consuming fire wherewith Yahweh hath consumed.

٧ 7 وَمِنْ بَابِ خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ لَا تَخْرُجُوا لِئَلَّا تَمُوتُوا، لِأَنَّ دُهْنَ مَسْحَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَيْكُمْ». فَفَعَلُوا حَسَبَ كَلَامِ مُوسَى.

But, from the entrance of the tent of meeting, shall ye not go forth, lest ye die, for, the anointing oil of Yahweh is upon you. And they did according to the word of Moses.

٨ 8 وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ هَارُونَ قَائِلًا:

Then spake Yahweh unto Aaron, saying:

٩ 9 «خَمْرًا وَمُسْكِرًا لَا تَشْرَبْ أَنْتَ وَبَنُوكَ مَعَكَ عِنْدَ دُخُولِكُمْ إِلَى خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ لِكَيْ لَا تَمُوتُوا. فَرْضًا دَهْرِيًّا فِي أَجْيَالِكُمْ

Wine and strong drink, thou mayest not drink, —thou nor thy sons with thee when ye enter into the tent of meeting, so shall ye not die, —an age-abiding statute to your generations;

١٠ 10 وَلِلتَّمْيِيزِ بَيْنَ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ وَٱلْمُحَلَّلِ وَبَيْنَ ٱلنَّجِسِ وَٱلطَّاهِرِ،

That ye may make a difference, between the sacred and the common, —and between the unclean and the clean;

١١ 11 وَلِتَعْلِيمِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ جَمِيعَ ٱلْفَرَائِضِ ٱلَّتِي كَلَّمَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ بِهَا بِيَدِ مُوسَى».

And may teach the sons of Israel, —all the statutes which Yahweh hath spoken unto them, by the mediation of Moses.

١٢ 12 وَقَالَ مُوسَى لِهَارُونَ وَأَلِعَازَارَ وَإِيثَامَارَ ٱبْنَيْهِ ٱلْبَاقِيَيْنِ: «خُذُوا ٱلتَّقْدِمَةَ ٱلْبَاقِيَةَ مِنْ وَقَائِدِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَكُلُوهَا فَطِيرًا بِجَانِبِ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ لِأَنَّهَا قُدْسُ أَقْدَاسٍ.

Then spake Moses unto Aaron and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar his sons that were left, Take ye the meal-offering that is left of the altar-flames of Yahweh, and eat it unleavened beside the altar, —for, most holy, it is;

١٣ 13 كُلُوهَا فِي مَكَانٍ مُقَدَّسٍ لِأَنَّهَا فَرِيضَتُكَ وَفَرِيضَةُ بَنِيكَ مِنْ وَقَائِدِ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَإِنَّنِي هَكَذَا أُمِرْتُ.

therefore shall ye eat it in a holy place, for, thine by statute, and thy sons’ by statute, it is, from among the altar-flames of Yahweh, —for, so, am I commanded.

١٤ 14 وَأَمَّا صَدْرُ ٱلتَّرْدِيدِ وَسَاقُ ٱلرَّفِيعَةِ فَتَأْكُلُونَهُمَا فِي مَكَانٍ طَاهِرٍ أَنْتَ وَبَنُوكَ وَبَنَاتُكَ مَعَكَ، لِأَنَّهُمَا جُعِلَا فَرِيضَتَكَ وَفَرِيضَةَ بَنِيكَ مِنْ ذَبَائِحِ سَلَامَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

And the wave-breast, and the heave-shoulder, shall ye eat in clean place, thou, and thy sons and thy daughters with thee, —for as thine by statute and thy sons’ by statute, have they been given, from among the peace-offerings of the sons of Israel.

١٥ 15 سَاقُ ٱلرَّفِيعَةِ وَصَدْرُ ٱلتَّرْدِيدِ يَأْتُونَ بِهِمَا مَعَ وَقَائِدِ ٱلشَّحْمِ لِيُرَدَّدَا تَرْدِيدًا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَيَكُونَانِ لَكَ وَلِبَنِيكَ مَعَكَ فَرِيضَةً دَهْرِيَّةً، كَمَا أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ».

The heave-shoulder and the wave-breast upon the altar-flames of the fat portions, shall they bring in, to wave as a wave-offering, before Yahweh, —so shall they be thine, and thy sons’ with thee, by an age-abiding statute, As Yahweh hath commanded.

١٦ 16 وَأَمَّا تَيْسُ ٱلْخَطِيَّةِ فَإِنَّ مُوسَى طَلَبَهُ فَإِذَا هُوَ قَدِ ٱحْتَرَقَ. فَسَخِطَ عَلَى أَلِعَازَارَ وَإِيثَامَارَ، ٱبْنَيْ هَارُونَ ٱلْبَاقِيَيْنِ، وَقَالَ:

Now, as for the sin-bearing goat, Moses diligently sought it but lo! it had been burnt up, —then was he wroth against Eleazar and against Ithamar, the sons of Aaron that were left, saying:

١٧ 17 «مَا لَكُمَا لَمْ تَأْكُلَا ذَبِيحَةَ ٱلْخَطِيَّةِ فِي ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ؟ لِأَنَّهَا قُدْسُ أَقْدَاسٍ، وَقَدْ أَعْطَاكُمَا إِيَّاهَا لِتَحْمِلَا إِثْمَ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ تَكْفِيرًا عَنْهُمْ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ.

Wherefore did ye not eat the sin-bearer in the holy place? for most, holy, it is, —and thee same, hath he given you that ye may bear the iniquity of the assembly, to put a propitiatory-covering over them before Yahweh.

١٨ 18 إِنَّهُ لَمْ يُؤْتَ بِدَمِهَا إِلَى ٱلْقُدْسِ دَاخِلًا. أَكْلًا تَأْكُلَانِهَا فِي ٱلْقُدْسِ كَمَا أَمَرْتُ».

Lo! the blood thereof had not been taken into the holy place, within, —ye should have, indeed eaten, it, in a holy place, as I commanded.

١٩ 19 فَقَالَ هَارُونُ لِمُوسَى: «إِنَّهُمَا ٱلْيَوْمَ قَدْ قَرَّبَا ذَبِيحَةَ خَطِيَّتِهِمَا وَمُحْرَقَتَهُمَا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَقَدْ أَصَابَنِي مِثْلُ هَذِهِ. فَلَوْ أَكَلْتُ ذَبِيحَةَ ٱلْخَطِيَّةِ ٱلْيَوْمَ، هَلْ كَانَ يَحْسُنُ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ؟».

Then spake Aaron unto Moses—Lo! this very day, when they had brought near their own sin-bearer, and their own ascending-sacrifice, there befell me such things as these, —if, then, I had eaten of the sin-bearer this day, would it have been well-pleasing in the eyes of Yahweh?

٢٠ 20 فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ مُوسَى حَسُنَ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ.

And, when Moses heard that, then was it well-pleasing in his eyes.
