< اَلْعَدَد 11 >
وَكَانَ ٱلشَّعْبُ كَأَنَّهُمْ يَشْتَكُونَ شَرًّا فِي أُذُنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ. وَسَمِعَ ٱلرَّبُّ فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُهُ، فَٱشْتَعَلَتْ فِيهِمْ نَارُ ٱلرَّبِّ وَأَحْرَقَتْ فِي طَرَفِ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ. | ١ 1 |
And the people murmured sinfully before the Lord; and the Lord heard [them] and was very angry; and fire was kindled among them from the Lord, and devoured a part of the camp.
فَصَرَخَ ٱلشَّعْبُ إِلَى مُوسَى، فَصَلَّى مُوسَى إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فَخَمَدَتِ ٱلنَّارُ. | ٢ 2 |
And the people cried to Moses: and Moses prayed to the Lord, and the fire was quenched.
فَدُعِيَ ٱسْمُ ذَلِكَ ٱلْمَوْضِعِ «تَبْعِيرَةَ» لِأَنَّ نَارَ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱشْتَعَلَتْ فِيهِمْ. | ٣ 3 |
And the name of that place was called Burning; for a fire was kindled among them from the Lord.
وَٱللَّفِيفُ ٱلَّذِي فِي وَسَطِهِمِ ٱشْتَهَى شَهْوَةً. فَعَادَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ أَيْضًا وَبَكَوْا وَقَالُوا: «مَنْ يُطْعِمُنَا لَحْمًا؟ | ٤ 4 |
And the mixed multitude among them lusted exceedingly; and they and the children of Israel sat down and wept and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
قَدْ تَذَكَّرْنَا ٱلسَّمَكَ ٱلَّذِي كُنَّا نَأْكُلُهُ فِي مِصْرَ مَجَّانًا، وَٱلْقِثَّاءَ وَٱلْبَطِّيخَ وَٱلْكُرَّاثَ وَٱلْبَصَلَ وَٱلثُّومَ. | ٥ 5 |
We remember the fish, which we ate in Egypt freely; and the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the garlic, and the onions.
وَٱلْآنَ قَدْ يَبِسَتْ أَنْفُسُنَا. لَيْسَ شَيْءٌ غَيْرَ أَنَّ أَعْيُنَنَا إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْمَنِّ!». | ٦ 6 |
But now our soul is dried up; our eyes [turn] to nothing but to the manna.
وَأَمَّا ٱلْمَنُّ فَكَانَ كَبِزْرِ ٱلْكُزْبَرَةِ، وَمَنْظَرُهُ كَمَنْظَرِ ٱلْمُقْلِ. | ٧ 7 |
And the manna is as coriander seed, and the appearance of it the appearance of hoar-frost.
كَانَ ٱلشَّعْبُ يَطُوفُونَ لِيَلْتَقِطُوهُ، ثُمَّ يَطْحَنُونَهُ بِٱلرَّحَى أَوْ يَدُقُّونَهُ فِي ٱلْهَاوَنِ وَيَطْبُخُونَهُ فِي ٱلْقُدُورِ وَيَعْمَلُونَهُ مَلَّاتٍ. وَكَانَ طَعْمُهُ كَطَعْمِ قَطَائِفَ بِزَيْتٍ. | ٨ 8 |
And the people went through the field, and gathered, and ground it in the mill, or pounded it in a mortar, and baked it in a pan, and made cakes of it; and the sweetness of it was as the taste [of] wafer made with oil.
وَمَتَى نَزَلَ ٱلنَّدَى عَلَى ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ لَيْلًا كَانَ يَنْزِلُ ٱلْمَنُّ مَعَهُ. | ٩ 9 |
And when the dew came upon the camp by night, the manna came down upon it.
فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ مُوسَى ٱلشَّعْبَ يَبْكُونَ بِعَشَائِرِهِمْ، كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ فِي بَابِ خَيْمَتِهِ، وَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ جِدًّا، سَاءَ ذَلِكَ فِي عَيْنَيْ مُوسَى. | ١٠ 10 |
And Moses heard them weeping by their families, every one in his door: and the Lord was very angry; and the thing was evil in the sight of Moses.
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 hast thou afflicted thy servant, and why have I not found grace in thy sight, that thou shouldest lay the weight of this people upon me?
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 |
Have I conceived all this people, or have I born them? that thou sayest to me, Take them into thy bosom, as a nurse would take her suckling, into the land which thou swarest to their fathers?
مِنْ أَيْنَ لِي لَحْمٌ حَتَّى أُعْطِيَ جَمِيعَ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ؟ لِأَنَّهُمْ يَبْكُونَ عَلَيَّ قَائِلِينَ: أَعْطِنَا لَحْمًا لِنَأْكُلَ. | ١٣ 13 |
Whence have I flesh to give to all this people? for they weep to me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.
لَا أَقْدِرُ أَنَا وَحْدِي أَنْ أَحْمِلَ جَمِيعَ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ لِأَنَّهُ ثَقِيلٌ عَلَيَّ. | ١٤ 14 |
I shall not be able to bear this people alone, for this thing is too heavy for me.
فَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَفْعَلُ بِي هَكَذَا، فَٱقْتُلْنِي قَتْلًا إِنْ وَجَدْتُ نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيْكَ، فَلَا أَرَى بَلِيَّتِي». | ١٥ 15 |
And if thou doest thus to me, slay me utterly, if I have found favour with thee, that I may not see my affliction.
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, Gather me seventy men from the elders of Israel, whom thou thyself knowest that they are the elders of the people, and their scribes; and thou shalt bring them to the tabernacle of witness, and they shall stand there with thee.
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 go down, and speak there with thee; and I will take of the spirit that is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear together with thee the burden of the people, and thou shalt not bear them alone.
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 to the people thou shalt say, Purify yourselves for the morrow, and ye shall eat flesh; for ye wept before the Lord, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt: and the Lord shall allow you to eat flesh, and ye shall eat flesh.
تَأْكُلُونَ لَا يَوْمًا وَاحِدًا، وَلَا يَوْمَيْنِ، وَلَا خَمْسَةَ أَيَّامٍ، وَلَا عَشَرَةَ أَيَّامٍ، وَلَا عِشْرِينَ يَوْمًا، | ١٩ 19 |
Ye shall not eat one day, nor two, nor five days, nor ten days, nor 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 |
ye shall eat for a full month, until [the flesh] come out at your nostrils; and it shall be nausea to you, because ye disobeyed the Lord, who is among you, and wept before him, saying, What had we to do to 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 |
And Moses said, The people among whom I am are six hundred thousand footmen; and thou saidst, I will give them flesh to eat, and they shall eat a whole month.
أَيُذْبَحُ لَهُمْ غَنَمٌ وَبَقَرٌ لِيَكْفِيَهُمْ؟ أَمْ يُجْمَعُ لَهُمْ كُلُّ سَمَكِ ٱلْبَحْرِ لِيَكْفِيَهُمْ؟» | ٢٢ 22 |
Shall sheep and oxen be slain for them, and shall it suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, and shall it suffice them?
فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «هَلْ تَقْصُرُ يَدُ ٱلرَّبِّ؟ ٱلْآنَ تَرَى أَيُوافِيكَ كَلَامِي أَمْ لَا». | ٢٣ 23 |
And the Lord said to Moses, Shall not the hand of the Lord be fully sufficient? now shalt thou know whether my word shall come to pass to thee or not.
فَخَرَجَ مُوسَى وَكَلَّمَ ٱلشَّعْبَ بِكَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَجَمَعَ سَبْعِينَ رَجُلًا مِنْ شُيُوخِ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَأَوْقَفَهُمْ حَوَالَيِ ٱلْخَيْمَةِ. | ٢٤ 24 |
And Moses went out, and spoke the words of the Lord to the people; and he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people, and he set them round about the tabernacle.
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 |
And the Lord came down in a cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and put it upon the seventy men that were elders; and when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied and ceased.
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 |
And there were two men left in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Modad; and the spirit rested upon them, and these were of the number of them that were enrolled, but they did not come to the tabernacle; and they prophesied in the camp.
فَرَكَضَ غُلَامٌ وَأَخْبَرَ مُوسَى وَقَالَ: «أَلْدَادُ وَمِيدَادُ يَتَنَبَّآنِ فِي ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ». | ٢٧ 27 |
And a young man ran and told Moses, and spoke, saying, Eldad and Modad prophesy in the camp.
فَأَجَابَ يَشُوعُ بْنُ نُونَ خَادِمُ مُوسَى مِنْ حَدَاثَتِهِ وَقَالَ: «يَا سَيِّدِي مُوسَى، ٱرْدَعْهُمَا!» | ٢٨ 28 |
And Joshua the son of Naue, who attended on Moses, the chosen one, said, [My] lord Moses, forbid them.
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, Art thou jealous on my account? and would that all the Lord's people were prophets; whenever the Lord shall put his spirit upon them.
ثُمَّ ٱنْحَازَ مُوسَى إِلَى ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ هُوَ وَشُيُوخُ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٣٠ 30 |
And Moses departed into the camp, himself and the elders of Israel.
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 |
And there went forth a wind from the Lord, and brought quails over from the sea; and it brought them down upon the camp a day's journey on this side, and a day's journey on that side, round about the camp, as it were two cubits from 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 the people rose up all the day, and all the night, and all the next day, and gathered quails; he that gathered least, gathered ten measures; and they refreshed themselves round about the camp.
وَإِذْ كَانَ ٱللَّحْمُ بَعْدُ بَيْنَ أَسْنَانِهِمْ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْقَطِعَ، حَمِيَ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى ٱلشَّعْبِ، وَضَرَبَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلشَّعْبَ ضَرْبَةً عَظِيمَةً جِدًّا. | ٣٣ 33 |
The flesh was yet between their teeth, before it failed, when the Lord was wroth with the people, and the Lord smote the people with a very great plague.
فَدُعِيَ ٱسْمُ ذَلِكَ ٱلْمَوْضِعِ «قَبَرُوتَ هَتَّأَوَةَ» لِأَنَّهُمْ هُنَاكَ دَفَنُوا ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱشْتَهَوْا. | ٣٤ 34 |
And the name of that place was called the Graves of Lust; for there they buried the people that lusted.
وَمِنْ قَبَرُوتَ هَتَّأَوَةَ ٱرْتَحَلَ ٱلشَّعْبُ إِلَى حَضَيْرُوتَ، فَكَانُوا فِي حَضَيْرُوتَ. | ٣٥ 35 |
The people departed from the Graves of Lust to Aseroth; and the people halted at Aseroth.
