اَلْعَدَد 11
| وَكَانَ ٱلشَّعْبُ كَأَنَّهُمْ يَشْتَكُونَ شَرًّا فِي أُذُنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ. وَسَمِعَ ٱلرَّبُّ فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُهُ، فَٱشْتَعَلَتْ فِيهِمْ نَارُ ٱلرَّبِّ وَأَحْرَقَتْ فِي طَرَفِ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ. | ١ 1 |
Now the people were saying evil against the Lord; and the Lord, hearing it, was angry and sent fire on them, burning the outer parts of the tent-circle.
| فَصَرَخَ ٱلشَّعْبُ إِلَى مُوسَى، فَصَلَّى مُوسَى إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فَخَمَدَتِ ٱلنَّارُ. | ٢ 2 |
And the people made an outcry to Moses, and Moses made prayer to the Lord, and the fire was stopped.
| فَدُعِيَ ٱسْمُ ذَلِكَ ٱلْمَوْضِعِ «تَبْعِيرَةَ» لِأَنَّ نَارَ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱشْتَعَلَتْ فِيهِمْ. | ٣ 3 |
So that place was named Taberah, because of the fire of the Lord which had been burning among them.
| وَٱللَّفِيفُ ٱلَّذِي فِي وَسَطِهِمِ ٱشْتَهَى شَهْوَةً. فَعَادَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ أَيْضًا وَبَكَوْا وَقَالُوا: «مَنْ يُطْعِمُنَا لَحْمًا؟ | ٤ 4 |
And the mixed band of people who went with them were overcome by desire: and the children of Israel, weeping again, said, Who will give us flesh for our food?
| قَدْ تَذَكَّرْنَا ٱلسَّمَكَ ٱلَّذِي كُنَّا نَأْكُلُهُ فِي مِصْرَ مَجَّانًا، وَٱلْقِثَّاءَ وَٱلْبَطِّيخَ وَٱلْكُرَّاثَ وَٱلْبَصَلَ وَٱلثُّومَ. | ٥ 5 |
Sweet is the memory of the fish we had in Egypt for nothing, and the fruit and green plants of every sort, sharp and pleasing to the taste:
| وَٱلْآنَ قَدْ يَبِسَتْ أَنْفُسُنَا. لَيْسَ شَيْءٌ غَيْرَ أَنَّ أَعْيُنَنَا إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْمَنِّ!». | ٦ 6 |
But now our soul is wasted away; there is nothing at all: we have nothing but this manna before our eyes.
| وَأَمَّا ٱلْمَنُّ فَكَانَ كَبِزْرِ ٱلْكُزْبَرَةِ، وَمَنْظَرُهُ كَمَنْظَرِ ٱلْمُقْلِ. | ٧ 7 |
Now the manna was like a seed of grain, like small clear drops.
| كَانَ ٱلشَّعْبُ يَطُوفُونَ لِيَلْتَقِطُوهُ، ثُمَّ يَطْحَنُونَهُ بِٱلرَّحَى أَوْ يَدُقُّونَهُ فِي ٱلْهَاوَنِ وَيَطْبُخُونَهُ فِي ٱلْقُدُورِ وَيَعْمَلُونَهُ مَلَّاتٍ. وَكَانَ طَعْمُهُ كَطَعْمِ قَطَائِفَ بِزَيْتٍ. | ٨ 8 |
The people went about taking it up from the earth, crushing it between stones or hammering it to powder, and boiling it in pots, and they made cakes of it: its taste was like the taste of cakes cooked with oil.
| وَمَتَى نَزَلَ ٱلنَّدَى عَلَى ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ لَيْلًا كَانَ يَنْزِلُ ٱلْمَنُّ مَعَهُ. | ٩ 9 |
When the dew came down on the tents at night, the manna came down with it.
| فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ مُوسَى ٱلشَّعْبَ يَبْكُونَ بِعَشَائِرِهِمْ، كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ فِي بَابِ خَيْمَتِهِ، وَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ جِدًّا، سَاءَ ذَلِكَ فِي عَيْنَيْ مُوسَى. | ١٠ 10 |
And at the sound of the people weeping, every man at his tent-door, the wrath of the Lord was great, and Moses was very angry.
| فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِلرَّبِّ: «لِمَاذَا أَسَأْتَ إِلَى عَبْدِكَ؟ وَلِمَاذَا لَمْ أَجِدْ نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيْكَ حَتَّى أَنَّكَ وَضَعْتَ ثِقْلَ جَمِيعِ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ عَلَيَّ؟ | ١١ 11 |
And Moses said to the Lord, Why have you done me this evil? and why have I not grace in your eyes, that you have put on me the care of all this people?
| أَلَعَلِّي حَبِلْتُ بِجَمِيعِ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ؟ أَوْ لَعَلِّي وَلَدْتُهُ، حَتَّى تَقُولَ لِي ٱحْمِلْهُ فِي حِضْنِكَ كَمَا يَحْمِلُ ٱلْمُرَبِّي ٱلرَّضِيعَ، إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي حَلَفْتَ لِآبَائِهِ؟ | ١٢ 12 |
Am I the father of all this people? have I given them birth, that you say to me, Take them in your arms, like a child at the breast, to the land which you gave by an oath to their fathers?
| مِنْ أَيْنَ لِي لَحْمٌ حَتَّى أُعْطِيَ جَمِيعَ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ؟ لِأَنَّهُمْ يَبْكُونَ عَلَيَّ قَائِلِينَ: أَعْطِنَا لَحْمًا لِنَأْكُلَ. | ١٣ 13 |
Where am I to get flesh to give to all this people? For they are weeping to me and saying, Give us flesh for our food.
| لَا أَقْدِرُ أَنَا وَحْدِي أَنْ أَحْمِلَ جَمِيعَ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ لِأَنَّهُ ثَقِيلٌ عَلَيَّ. | ١٤ 14 |
I am not able by myself to take the weight of all this people, for it is more than my strength.
| فَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَفْعَلُ بِي هَكَذَا، فَٱقْتُلْنِي قَتْلًا إِنْ وَجَدْتُ نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيْكَ، فَلَا أَرَى بَلِيَّتِي». | ١٥ 15 |
If this is to be my fate, put me to death now in answer to my prayer, if I have grace in your eyes; and let me not see my shame.
| فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «ٱجْمَعْ إِلَيَّ سَبْعِينَ رَجُلًا مِنْ شُيُوخِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُمْ شُيُوخُ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَعُرَفَاؤُهُ، وَأَقْبِلْ بِهِمْ إِلَى خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ فَيَقِفُوا هُنَاكَ مَعَكَ. | ١٦ 16 |
And the Lord said to Moses, Send for seventy of the responsible men of Israel, who are in your opinion men of weight and authority over the people; make them come to the Tent of meeting and be there with you.
| فَأَنْزِلَ أَنَا وَأَتَكَلَّمَ مَعَكَ هُنَاكَ، وَآخُذَ مِنَ ٱلرُّوحِ ٱلَّذِي عَلَيْكَ وَأَضَعَ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَيَحْمِلُونَ مَعَكَ ثِقْلَ ٱلشَّعْبِ، فَلَا تَحْمِلُ أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ. | ١٧ 17 |
And I will come down and have talk with you there: and I will take some of the spirit which is on you and put it on them, and they will take part of the weight of the people off you, so that you do not have to take it by yourself.
| وَلِلشَّعْبِ تَقُولُ: تَقَدَّسُوا لِلْغَدِ فَتَأْكُلُوا لَحْمًا، لِأَنَّكُمْ قَدْ بَكَيْتُمْ فِي أُذُنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلِينَ: مَنْ يُطْعِمُنَا لَحْمًا؟ إِنَّهُ كَانَ لَنَا خَيْرٌ فِي مِصْرَ. فَيُعْطِيكُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ لَحْمًا فَتَأْكُلُونَ. | ١٨ 18 |
And say to the people, Make yourselves clean before tomorrow and you will have flesh for your food: for in the ears of the Lord you have been weeping and saying, Who will give us flesh for food? for we were well off in Egypt: and so the Lord will give you flesh, and it will be your food;
| تَأْكُلُونَ لَا يَوْمًا وَاحِدًا، وَلَا يَوْمَيْنِ، وَلَا خَمْسَةَ أَيَّامٍ، وَلَا عَشَرَةَ أَيَّامٍ، وَلَا عِشْرِينَ يَوْمًا، | ١٩ 19 |
Not for one day only, or even for five or ten or twenty days;
| بَلْ شَهْرًا مِنَ ٱلزَّمَانِ، حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ مِنْ مَنَاخِرِكُمْ، وَيَصِيرَ لَكُمْ كَرَاهَةً، لِأَنَّكُمْ رَفَضْتُمُ ٱلرَّبَّ ٱلَّذِي فِي وَسَطِكُمْ وَبَكَيْتُمْ أَمَامَهُ قَائِلِينَ: لِمَاذَا خَرَجْنَا مِنْ مِصْرَ؟» | ٢٠ 20 |
But every day for a month, till you are tired of it, turning from it in disgust: because you have gone against the Lord who is with you, and have been weeping before him saying, Why did we come out of Egypt?
| فَقَالَ مُوسَى: «سِتُّ مِئَةِ أَلْفِ مَاشٍ هُوَ ٱلشَّعْبُ ٱلَّذِي أَنَا فِي وَسَطِهِ، وَأَنْتَ قَدْ قُلْتَ: أُعْطِيهِمْ لَحْمًا لِيَأْكُلُوا شَهْرًا مِنَ ٱلزَّمَانِ. | ٢١ 21 |
Then Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand men on foot; and you have said, I will give them flesh to be their food for a month.
| أَيُذْبَحُ لَهُمْ غَنَمٌ وَبَقَرٌ لِيَكْفِيَهُمْ؟ أَمْ يُجْمَعُ لَهُمْ كُلُّ سَمَكِ ٱلْبَحْرِ لِيَكْفِيَهُمْ؟» | ٢٢ 22 |
Are flocks and herds to be put to death for them? or are all the fish in the sea to be got together so that they may be full?
| فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «هَلْ تَقْصُرُ يَدُ ٱلرَّبِّ؟ ٱلْآنَ تَرَى أَيُوافِيكَ كَلَامِي أَمْ لَا». | ٢٣ 23 |
And the Lord said to Moses, Has the Lord's hand become short? Now you will see if my word comes true for you or not.
| فَخَرَجَ مُوسَى وَكَلَّمَ ٱلشَّعْبَ بِكَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَجَمَعَ سَبْعِينَ رَجُلًا مِنْ شُيُوخِ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَأَوْقَفَهُمْ حَوَالَيِ ٱلْخَيْمَةِ. | ٢٤ 24 |
And Moses went out and gave the people the words of the Lord: and he took seventy of the responsible men of the people, placing them round the Tent.
| فَنَزَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ فِي سَحَابَةٍ وَتَكَلَّمَ مَعَهُ، وَأَخَذَ مِنَ ٱلرُّوحِ ٱلَّذِي عَلَيْهِ وَجَعَلَ عَلَى ٱلسَّبْعِينَ رَجُلًا ٱلشُّيُوخَ. فَلَمَّا حَلَّتْ عَلَيْهِمِ ٱلرُّوحُ تَنَبَّأُوا، وَلَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَزِيدُوا. | ٢٥ 25 |
Then the Lord came down in the cloud and had talk with him, and put on the seventy men some of the spirit which was on him: now when the spirit came to rest on them, they were like prophets, but only at that time.
| وَبَقِيَ رَجُلَانِ فِي ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ، ٱسْمُ ٱلْوَاحِدِ أَلْدَادُ، وَٱسْمُ ٱلْآخَرِ مِيدَادُ، فَحَلَّ عَلَيْهِمَا ٱلرُّوحُ. وَكَانَا مِنَ ٱلْمَكْتُوبِينَ، لَكِنَّهُمَا لَمْ يَخْرُجَا إِلَى ٱلْخَيْمَةِ، فَتَنَبَّآ فِي ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ. | ٢٦ 26 |
But two men were still in the tent-circle one of them named Eldad and the other Medad: and the spirit came to rest on them; they were among those who had been sent for, but they had not gone out to the Tent: and the prophet's power came on them in the tent-circle.
| فَرَكَضَ غُلَامٌ وَأَخْبَرَ مُوسَى وَقَالَ: «أَلْدَادُ وَمِيدَادُ يَتَنَبَّآنِ فِي ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ». | ٢٧ 27 |
And a young man went running to Moses and said, Eldad and Medad are acting as prophets in the tent-circle.
| فَأَجَابَ يَشُوعُ بْنُ نُونَ خَادِمُ مُوسَى مِنْ حَدَاثَتِهِ وَقَالَ: «يَا سَيِّدِي مُوسَى، ٱرْدَعْهُمَا!» | ٢٨ 28 |
Then Joshua, the son of Nun, who had been Moses' servant from the time when he was a child, said, My lord Moses, let them be stopped.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ مُوسَى: «هَلْ تَغَارُ أَنْتَ لِي؟ يَا لَيْتَ كُلَّ شَعْبِ ٱلرَّبِّ كَانُوا أَنْبِيَاءَ إِذَا جَعَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ رُوحَهُ عَلَيْهِمْ». | ٢٩ 29 |
And Moses said to him, Are you moved by envy on my account? If only all the Lord's people were prophets, and the Lord might put his spirit on them!
| ثُمَّ ٱنْحَازَ مُوسَى إِلَى ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ هُوَ وَشُيُوخُ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٣٠ 30 |
Then Moses, with the responsible men of Israel, went back to the tent-circle.
| فَخَرَجَتْ رِيحٌ مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَسَاقَتْ سَلْوَى مِنَ ٱلْبَحْرِ وَأَلْقَتْهَا عَلَى ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ، نَحْوَ مَسِيرَةِ يَوْمٍ مِنْ هُنَا وَمَسِيرَةِ يَوْمٍ مِنْ هُنَاكَ، حَوَالَيِ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ، وَنَحْوَ ذِرَاعَيْنِ فَوْقَ وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٣١ 31 |
Then the Lord sent a wind, driving little birds from the sea, so that they came down on the tents, and all round the tent-circle, about a day's journey on this side and on that, in masses about two cubits high over the face of the earth.
| فَقَامَ ٱلشَّعْبُ كُلَّ ذَلِكَ ٱلنَّهَارِ، وَكُلَّ ٱللَّيْلِ وَكُلَّ يَوْمِ ٱلْغَدِ وَجَمَعُوا ٱلسَّلْوَى. ٱلَّذِي قَلَّلَ جَمَعَ عَشَرَةَ حَوَامِرَ. وَسَطَّحُوهَا لَهُمْ مَسَاطِحَ حَوَالَيِ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ. | ٣٢ 32 |
And all that day and all night and the day after, the people were taking up the birds; the smallest amount which anyone got was ten homers: and they put them out all round the tents.
| وَإِذْ كَانَ ٱللَّحْمُ بَعْدُ بَيْنَ أَسْنَانِهِمْ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْقَطِعَ، حَمِيَ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى ٱلشَّعْبِ، وَضَرَبَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلشَّعْبَ ضَرْبَةً عَظِيمَةً جِدًّا. | ٣٣ 33 |
But while the meat was still between their teeth, before it was tasted, the wrath of the Lord was moved against the people and he sent a great outburst of disease on them.
| فَدُعِيَ ٱسْمُ ذَلِكَ ٱلْمَوْضِعِ «قَبَرُوتَ هَتَّأَوَةَ» لِأَنَّهُمْ هُنَاكَ دَفَنُوا ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱشْتَهَوْا. | ٣٤ 34 |
So that place was named Kibroth-hattaavah; because there they put in the earth the bodies of the people who had given way to their desires.
| وَمِنْ قَبَرُوتَ هَتَّأَوَةَ ٱرْتَحَلَ ٱلشَّعْبُ إِلَى حَضَيْرُوتَ، فَكَانُوا فِي حَضَيْرُوتَ. | ٣٥ 35 |
From Kibroth-hattaavah the people went on to Hazeroth; and there they put up their tents.
