اَلْعَدَد 10

١ 1 وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:

The Lord told Moses,

٢ 2 «ٱصْنَعْ لَكَ بُوقَيْنِ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ. مَسْحُولَيْنِ تَعْمَلُهُمَا، فَيَكُونَانِ لَكَ لِمُنَادَاةِ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ وَلِٱرْتِحَالِ ٱلْمَحَلَّاتِ.

“Make two trumpets out of hammered silver. They are to be used for summoning the Israelites and to have the camp move out.

٣ 3 فَإِذَا ضَرَبُوا بِهِمَا يَجْتَمِعُ إِلَيْكَ كُلُّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ إِلَى بَابِ خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ.

When both trumpets are blown, all the Israelites are to gather before you at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

٤ 4 وَإِذَا ضَرَبُوا بِوَاحِدٍ يَجْتَمِعُ إِلَيْكَ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءُ، رُؤُوسُ أُلُوفِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

But if only one is blown, then only the tribal leaders are to gather before you.

٥ 5 وَإِذَا ضَرَبْتُمْ هُتَافًا تَرْتَحِلُ ٱلْمَحَلَّاتُ ٱلنَّازِلَةُ إِلَى ٱلشَّرْقِ.

When you blow the trumpet loudly, which is the alarm signal to move out, the camps on the east side are to march out first.

٦ 6 وَإِذَا ضَرَبْتُمْ هُتَافًا ثَانِيَةً تَرْتَحِلُ ٱلْمَحَلَّاتُ ٱلنَّازِلَةُ إِلَى ٱلْجَنُوبِ. هُتَافًا يَضْرِبُونَ لِرِحْلَاتِهِمْ.

When you blow the trumpet loudly the second time, the camps on the south side are to march out. That's their signal to start moving.

٧ 7 وَأَمَّا عِنْدَمَا تَجْمَعُونَ ٱلْجَمَاعَةَ فَتَضْرِبُونَ وَلَا تَهْتِفُونَ.

To summon the people, blow the trumpets normally, not the loud alarm signal.

٨ 8 وَبَنُو هَارُونَ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ يَضْرِبُونَ بِٱلْأَبْوَاقِ. فَتَكُونُ لَكُمْ فَرِيضَةً أَبَدِيَّةً فِي أَجْيَالِكُمْ.

Aaron's descendants are to blow the trumpets. This regulation is for all time and for all future generations.

٩ 9 وَإِذَا ذَهَبْتُمْ إِلَى حَرْبٍ فِي أَرْضِكُمْ عَلَى عَدُوٍّ يَضُرُّ بِكُمْ، تَهْتِفُونَ بِٱلْأَبْوَاقِ، فَتُذْكَرُونَ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ، وَتُخَلَّصُونَ مِنْ أَعْدَائِكُمْ.

When you're in your own land and have to go into battle against an enemy who has attacked you, blow the alarm signal and the Lord your God won't forget you—he will save you from your enemies.

١٠ 10 وَفِي يَوْمِ فَرَحِكُمْ، وَفِي أَعْيَادِكُمْ وَرُؤُوسِ شُهُورِكُمْ، تَضْرِبُونَ بِٱلْأَبْوَاقِ عَلَى مُحْرَقَاتِكُمْ وَذَبَائِحِ سَلَامَتِكُمْ، فَتَكُونُ لَكُمْ تَذْكَارًا أَمَامَ إِلَهِكُمْ. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ».

Blow the trumpets when you celebrate too, at your regular feasts and at the beginning of each month. This is when you give your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings which act as a reminder for you before your God. I am the Lord your God.”

١١ 11 وَفِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّانِيَةِ فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلثَّانِي، فِي ٱلْعِشْرِينَ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ، ٱرْتَفَعَتِ ٱلسَّحَابَةُ عَنْ مَسْكَنِ ٱلشَّهَادَةِ.

The cloud rose up from the Tabernacle of the Testimony on the twentieth day of the second month of the second year.

١٢ 12 فَٱرْتَحَلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي رِحْلَاتِهِمْ مِنْ بَرِّيَّةِ سِينَاءَ، فَحَلَّتِ ٱلسَّحَابَةُ فِي بَرِّيَّةِ فَارَانَ.

The Israelites left the Desert of Sinai and moved from place to place until the cloud stopped in the Desert of Paran.

١٣ 13 ٱرْتَحَلُوا أَوَّلًا حَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَنْ يَدِ مُوسَى.

This was the first time they moved out following the Lord's command through Moses.

١٤ 14 فَٱرْتَحَلَتْ رَايَةُ مَحَلَّةِ بَنِي يَهُوذَا أَوَّلًا حَسَبَ أَجْنَادِهِمْ، وَعَلَى جُنْدِهِ نَحْشُونُ بْنُ عَمِّينَادَابَ،

The tribal divisions of Judah went first, marching out under their flag, with Nahshon, son of Amminadab, in charge.

١٥ 15 وَعَلَى جُنْدِ سِبْطِ بَنِي يَسَّاكَرَ نَثَنَائِيلُ بْنُ صُوغَرَ،

Nethanel, son of Zuar, was in charge of the tribal division of Issachar,

١٦ 16 وَعَلَى جُنْدِ سِبْطِ بَنِي زَبُولُونَ أَلِيآبُ بْنُ حِيلُونَ.

and Eliab, son of Helon, was in charge of the tribal division of Zebulun.

١٧ 17 ثُمَّ أُنْزِلَ ٱلْمَسْكَنُ فَٱرْتَحَلَ بَنُو جَرْشُونَ وَبَنُو مَرَارِي حَامِلِينَ ٱلْمَسْكَنَ.

Then the Tabernacle was dismantled, and the Gershonites and the Merarites set off, carrying it.

١٨ 18 ثُمَّ ٱرْتَحَلَتْ رَايَةُ مَحَلَّةِ رَأُوبَيْنَ حَسَبَ أَجْنَادِهِمْ، وَعَلَى جُنْدِهِ أَلِيصُورُ بْنُ شَدَيْئُورَ،

Then came the divisions of Reuben who marched out under their flag, with Elizur, son of Shedeur, in charge.

١٩ 19 وَعَلَى جُنْدِ سِبْطِ بَنِي شِمْعُونَ شَلُومِيئِيلُ بْنُ صُورِيشَدَّاي،

Shelumiel, son of Zurishaddai, was in charge of the tribal division of Simeon,

٢٠ 20 وَعَلَى جُنْدِ سِبْطِ بَنِي جَادَ أَلِيَاسَافُ بْنُ دَعُوئِيلَ.

and Eliasaph, son of Deuel, was in charge of the tribal division of Gad.

٢١ 21 ثُمَّ ٱرْتَحَلَ ٱلْقَهَاتِيُّونَ حَامِلِينَ ٱلْمَقْدِسَ. وَأُقِيمَ ٱلْمَسْكَنُ إِلَى أَنْ جَاءُوا

Then the Kohathites set off, carrying the holy objects. The Tabernacle would be put up before they arrived.

٢٢ 22 ثُمَّ ٱرْتَحَلَتْ رَايَةُ مَحَلَّةِ بَنِي أَفْرَايِمَ حَسَبَ أَجْنَادِهِمْ، وَعَلَى جُنْدِهِ أَلِيشَمَعُ بْنُ عَمِّيهُودَ،

Then came the divisions of Ephraim who marched out under their flag, with Elishama, son of Ammihud in charge.

٢٣ 23 وَعَلَى جُنْدِ سِبْطِ بَنِي مَنَسَّى جَمْلِيئِيلُ بْنُ فَدَهْصُورَ،

Gamaliel, son of Pedahzur, was in charge of the tribal division of Manasseh,

٢٤ 24 وَعَلَى جُنْدِ سِبْطِ بَنِي بَنْيَامِينَ أَبِيدَنُ بْنُ جِدْعُونِي.

and Abidan, son of Gideoni, was in charge of the tribal division of Benjamin.

٢٥ 25 ثُمَّ ٱرْتَحَلَتْ رَايَةُ مَحَلَّةِ بَنِي دَانَ سَاقَةِ جَمِيعِ ٱلْمَحَلَّاتِ حَسَبَ أَجْنَادِهِمْ، وَعَلَى جُنْدِهِ أَخِيعَزَرُ بْنُ عَمِّيشَدَّاي،

Lastly came the divisions of Dan who marched out under their flag, defending the rear of all the tribal groups, with Ahiezer, son of Ammishaddai, in charge.

٢٦ 26 وَعَلَى جُنْدِ سِبْطِ بَنِي أَشِيرَ فَجْعِيئِيلُ بْنُ عُكْرَنَ.

Pagiel, son of Ocran, was in charge of the tribal division of Asher,

٢٧ 27 وَعَلَى جُنْدِ سِبْطِ بَنِي نَفْتَالِي أَخِيرَعُ بْنُ عِينَنَ.

and Ahira, son of Enan, was in charge of the tribal division of Naphtali.

٢٨ 28 هَذِهِ رِحْلَاتُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بِأَجْنَادِهِمْ حِينَ ٱرْتَحَلُوا.

This was the order in which the Israelite tribal divisions moved out.

٢٩ 29 وَقَالَ مُوسَى لِحُوبَابَ بْنِ رَعُوئِيلَ ٱلْمِدْيَانِيِّ حَمِي مُوسَى: «إِنَّنَا رَاحِلُونَ إِلَى ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ أُعْطِيكُمْ إِيَّاهُ. اِذْهَبْ مَعَنَا فَنُحْسِنَ إِلَيْكَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ تَكَلَّمَ عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِٱلْإِحْسَانِ».

Moses explained to Hobab, the son of Moses' father-in-law Reuel the Midianite, “We're leaving for the place of which the Lord promised, ‘I'm going to give it to you.’ Come with us, and we'll be good to you, because the Lord has promised good things to Israel.”

٣٠ 30 فَقَالَ لَهُ: «لَا أَذْهَبُ، بَلْ إِلَى أَرْضِي وَإِلَى عَشِيرَتِي أَمْضِي».

“No, I won't go—I'll return to my own country and my own people,” Hobab replied.

٣١ 31 فَقَالَ: «لَا تَتْرُكْنَا، لِأَنَّهُ بِمَا أَنَّكَ تَعْرِفُ مَنَازِلَنَا فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ تَكُونُ لَنَا كَعُيُونٍ.

“Please don't abandon us now,” Moses said, “because you're the one who knows where we should camp in the desert and you can guide us.

٣٢ 32 وَإِنْ ذَهَبْتَ مَعَنَا فَبِنَفْسِ ٱلْإِحْسَانِ ٱلَّذِي يُحْسِنُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَيْنَا نُحْسِنُ نَحْنُ إِلَيْكَ».

If you come with us, whatever good things the Lord blesses us with we'll share with you.”

٣٣ 33 فَٱرْتَحَلُوا مِنْ جَبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ مَسِيرَةَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ، وَتَابُوتُ عَهْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ رَاحِلٌ أَمَامَهُمْ مَسِيرَةَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ لِيَلْتَمِسَ لَهُمْ مَنْزِلًا.

They left the mountain of the Lord to go on a three-day journey The Ark of the Lord's Agreement led the way for them during these three days to find a place for them to camp.

٣٤ 34 وَكَانَتْ سَحَابَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَيْهِمْ نَهَارًا فِي ٱرْتِحَالِهِمْ مِنَ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ.

The cloud of the Lord was above them during day as they moved on from the camp.

٣٥ 35 وَعِنْدَ ٱرْتِحَالِ ٱلتَّابُوتِ كَانَ مُوسَى يَقُولُ: «قُمْ يَا رَبُّ، فَلْتَتَبَدَّدْ أَعْدَاؤُكَ وَيَهْرُبْ مُبْغِضُوكَ مِنْ أَمَامِكَ».

Whenever the Ark was carried out, Moses would call out, “Stand up, Lord, and may your enemies be scattered, and may those who hate you run away from you.”

٣٦ 36 وَعِنْدَ حُلُولِهِ كَانَ يَقُولُ: «ٱرْجِعْ يَا رَبُّ إِلَى رِبَوَاتِ أُلُوفِ إِسْرَائِيلَ».

Whenever it was set down, he would call out, “Return, Lord, to the thousands and thousands of the people of Israel.”
