اَلْعَدَد 31

١ 1 وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

٢ 2 «اِنْتَقِمْ نَقْمَةً لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنَ ٱلْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ، ثُمَّ تُضَمُّ إِلَى قَوْمِكَ».

'Execute the vengeance of the sons of Israel against the Midianites — afterwards thou art gathered unto thy people.'

٣ 3 فَكَلَّمَ مُوسَى ٱلشَّعْبَ قَائِلًا: «جَرِّدُوا مِنْكُمْ رِجَالًا لِلْجُنْدِ، فَيَكُونُوا عَلَى مِدْيَانَ لِيَجْعَلُوا نَقْمَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى مِدْيَانَ.

And Moses speaketh unto the people, saying, 'Be ye armed some of you for the host, and they are against Midian, to put the vengeance of Jehovah on Midian;

٤ 4 أَلْفًا وَاحِدًا مِنْ كُلِّ سِبْطٍ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ تُرْسِلُونَ لِلْحَرْبِ».

a thousand for a tribe — a thousand for a tribe, to all the tribes of Israel — ye do send to the host.'

٥ 5 فَٱخْتِيرَ مِنْ أُلُوفِ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَلْفٌ مِنْ كُلِّ سِبْطٍ. ٱثْنَا عَشَرَ أَلْفًا مُجَرَّدُونَ لِلْحَرْبِ.

And there are given out of the thousands of Israel a thousand for a tribe, twelve thousand armed ones of the host;

٦ 6 فَأَرْسَلَهُمْ مُوسَى أَلْفًا مِنْ كُلِّ سِبْطٍ إِلَى ٱلْحَرْبِ، هُمْ وَفِينْحَاسَ بْنَ أَلِعَازَارَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ إِلَى ٱلْحَرْبِ، وَأَمْتِعَةُ ٱلْقُدْسِ وَأَبْوَاقُ ٱلْهُتَافِ فِي يَدِهِ.

and Moses sendeth them, a thousand for a tribe, to the host, them and Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest, to the host; and the holy vessels, and the trumpets of the shouting, in his hand.

٧ 7 فَتَجَنَّدُوا عَلَى مِدْيَانَ كَمَا أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ وَقَتَلُوا كُلَّ ذَكَرٍ.

And they war against Midian, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses, and slay every male;

٨ 8 وَمُلُوكُ مِدْيَانَ قَتَلُوهُمْ فَوْقَ قَتْلَاهُمْ: أَوِيَ وَرَاقِمَ وَصُورَ وَحُورَ وَرَابِعَ. خَمْسَةَ مُلُوكِ مِدْيَانَ. وَبَلْعَامَ بْنَ بَعُورَ قَتَلُوهُ بِٱلسَّيْفِ.

and the kings of Midian they have slain, besides their pierced ones, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian; and Balaam son of Beor, they have slain with the sword.

٩ 9 وَسَبَى بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ نِسَاءَ مِدْيَانَ وَأَطْفَالَهُمْ، وَنَهَبُوا جَمِيعَ بَهَائِمِهِمْ، وَجَمِيعَ مَوَاشِيهِمْ وَكُلَّ أَمْلَاكِهِمْ.

And the sons of Israel take captive the women of Midian, and their infants; and all their cattle, and all their substance, and all their wealth they have plundered;

١٠ 10 وَأَحْرَقُوا جَمِيعَ مُدُنِهِمْ بِمَسَاكِنِهِمْ، وَجَمِيعَ حُصُونِهِمْ بِٱلنَّارِ.

and all their cities, with their habitations, and all their towers, they have burnt with fire.

١١ 11 وَأَخَذُوا كُلَّ ٱلْغَنِيمَةِ وَكُلَّ ٱلنَّهْبِ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَٱلْبَهَائِمِ،

And they take all the spoil, and all the prey, among man and among beast;

١٢ 12 وَأَتَوْا إِلَى مُوسَى وَأَلِعَازَارَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ وَإِلَى جَمَاعَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بِٱلسَّبْيِ وَٱلنَّهْبِ وَٱلْغَنِيمَةِ إِلَى ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ إِلَى عَرَبَاتِ مُوآبَ ٱلَّتِي عَلَى أُرْدُنِّ أَرِيحَا.

and they bring in, unto Moses, and unto Eleazar the priest, and unto the company of the sons of Israel, the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto the camp, unto the plains of Moab, which [are] by Jordan, [near] Jericho.

١٣ 13 فَخَرَجَ مُوسَى وَأَلِعَازَارُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ وَكُلُّ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ لِٱسْتِقْبَالِهِمْ إِلَى خَارِجِ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ.

And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the company, go out to meet them, unto the outside of the camp,

١٤ 14 فَسَخَطَ مُوسَى عَلَى وُكَلَاءِ ٱلْجَيْشِ، رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْأُلُوفِ وَرُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْمِئَاتِ ٱلْقَادِمِينَ مِنْ جُنْدِ ٱلْحَرْبِ.

and Moses is wroth against the inspectors of the force, chiefs of the thousands, and chiefs of the hundreds, who are coming in from the host of the battle.

١٥ 15 وَقَالَ لَهُمْ مُوسَى: «هَلْ أَبْقَيْتُمْ كُلَّ أُنْثَى حَيَّةً؟

And Moses saith unto them, 'Have ye kept alive every female?

١٦ 16 إِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ كُنَّ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، حَسَبَ كَلَامِ بَلْعَامَ، سَبَبَ خِيَانَةٍ لِلرَّبِّ فِي أَمْرِ فَغُورَ، فَكَانَ ٱلْوَبَأُ فِي جَمَاعَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

lo, they — they have been to the sons of Israel, through the word of Balaam, to cause a trespass against Jehovah in the matter of Peor, and the plague is in the company of Jehovah.

١٧ 17 فَٱلْآنَ ٱقْتُلُوا كُلَّ ذَكَرٍ مِنَ ٱلْأَطْفَالِ. وَكُلَّ ٱمْرَأَةٍ عَرَفَتْ رَجُلًا بِمُضَاجَعَةِ ذَكَرٍ ٱقْتُلُوهَا.

'And now, slay ye every male among the infants, yea, every woman known of man by the lying of a male ye have slain;

١٨ 18 لَكِنْ جَمِيعُ ٱلْأَطْفَالِ مِنَ ٱلنِّسَاءِ ٱللَّوَاتِي لَمْ يَعْرِفْنَ مُضَاجَعَةَ ذَكَرٍ أَبْقُوهُنَّ لَكُمْ حَيَّاتٍ.

and all the infants among the women, who have not known the lying of a male, ye have kept alive for yourselves.

١٩ 19 وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَٱنْزِلُوا خَارِجَ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ، وَتَطَهَّرُوا كُلُّ مَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْسًا، وَكُلُّ مَنْ مَسَّ قَتِيلًا، فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ وَفِي ٱلسَّابِعِ، أَنْتُمْ وَسَبْيُكُمْ.

'And ye, encamp ye at the outside of the camp seven days — any who hath slain a person, and any who hath come against a pierced one, ye cleanse yourselves on the third day, and on the seventh day — ye and your captives;

٢٠ 20 وَكُلُّ ثَوْبٍ، وَكُلُّ مَتَاعٍ مِنْ جِلْدٍ، وَكُلُّ مَصْنُوعٍ مِنْ شَعْرِ مَعْزٍ، وَكُلُّ مَتَاعٍ مِنْ خَشَبٍ، تُطَهِّرُونَهُ».

and every garment, and every skin vessel, and every work of goats' [hair], and every wooden vessel, ye yourselves cleanse.'

٢١ 21 وَقَالَ أَلِعَازَارُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ لِرِجَالِ ٱلْجُنْدِ ٱلَّذِينَ ذَهَبُوا لِلْحَرْبِ: «هَذِهِ فَرِيضَةُ ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَمَرَ بِهَا ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى:

And Eleazar the priest saith unto the men of the host who go in to battle, 'This [is] the statute of the law which Jehovah hath commanded Moses:

٢٢ 22 اَلذَّهَبُ وَٱلْفِضَّةُ وَٱلنُّحَاسُ وَٱلْحَدِيدُ وَٱلْقَصْدِيرُ وَٱلرَّصَاصُ،

only, the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,

٢٣ 23 كُلُّ مَا يَدْخُلُ ٱلنَّارَ، تُجِيزُونَهُ فِي ٱلنَّارِ فَيَكُونُ طَاهِرًا، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ يَتَطَهَّرُ بِمَاءِ ٱلنَّجَاسَةِ. وَأَمَّا كُلُّ مَا لَا يَدْخُلُ ٱلنَّارَ فَتُجِيزُونَهُ فِي ٱلْمَاءِ.

every thing which may go into fire, ye cause to pass over through fire, and it hath been clean; only, with the water of separation it is cleansed, and all that may not go into fire, ye cause to pass over through water;

٢٤ 24 وَتَغْسِلُونَ ثِيَابَكُمْ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ فَتَكُونُونَ طَاهِرِينَ، وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ تَدْخُلُونَ ٱلْمَحَلَّةَ».

and ye have washed your garments on the seventh day, and have been clean, and afterwards ye come in unto the camp.'

٢٥ 25 وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

٢٦ 26 «أَحْصِ ٱلنَّهْبَ ٱلْمَسْبِيَّ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَٱلْبَهَائِمِ، أَنْتَ وَأَلِعَازَارُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ وَرُؤُوسُ آبَاءِ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ.

'Take up the sum of the prey of the captives, among man and among beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the fathers of the company;

٢٧ 27 وَنَصِّفِ ٱلنَّهْبَ بَيْنَ ٱلَّذِينَ بَاشَرُوا ٱلْقِتَالَ ٱلْخَارِجِينَ إِلَى ٱلْحَرْبِ، وَبَيْنَ كُلِّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ.

and thou hast halved the prey between those handling the battle who go out to the host and all the company;

٢٨ 28 وَٱرْفَعْ زَكَاةً لِلرَّبِّ. مِنْ رِجَالِ ٱلْحَرْبِ ٱلْخَارِجِينَ إِلَى ٱلْقِتَالِ وَاحِدَةً. نَفْسًا مِنْ كُلِّ خَمْسِ مِئَةٍ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَٱلْبَقَرِ وَٱلْحَمِيرِ وَٱلْغَنَمِ.

and thou hast raised a tribute to Jehovah from the men of war, who go out to the host, one body out of five hundred, of man, and of the herd, and of the asses, and of the flock;

٢٩ 29 مِنْ نِصْفِهِمْ تَأْخُذُونَهَا وَتُعْطُونَهَا لِأَلِعَازَارَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ رَفِيعَةً لِلرَّبِّ.

from their half ye do take, and thou hast given to Eleazar the priest — the heave-offering of Jehovah.

٣٠ 30 وَمِنْ نِصْفِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ تَأْخُذُ وَاحِدَةً مَأْخُوذَةً مِنْ كُلِّ خَمْسِينَ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَٱلْبَقَرِ وَٱلْحَمِيرِ وَٱلْغَنَمِ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلْبَهَائِمِ، وَتُعْطِيهَا لِلَّاوِيِّينَ ٱلْحَافِظِينَ شَعَائِرَ مَسْكَنِ ٱلرَّبِّ».

'And from the sons of Israel's half thou dost take one possession out of fifty, of man, of the herd, of the asses, and of the flock, of all the cattle, and thou hast given them to the Levites keeping the charge of the tabernacle of Jehovah.'

٣١ 31 فَفَعَلَ مُوسَى وَأَلِعَازَارُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ كَمَا أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى.

And Moses doth — Eleazar the priest also — as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

٣٢ 32 وَكَانَ ٱلنَّهْبُ فَضْلَةُ ٱلْغَنِيمَةِ ٱلَّتِي ٱغْتَنَمَهَا رِجَالُ ٱلْجُنْدِ: مِنَ ٱلْغَنَمِ سِتَّ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسَةً وَسَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا،

And the prey, the residue of the spoil which the people of the host have spoiled, is of the flock six hundred thousand, and seventy thousand, and five thousand;

٣٣ 33 وَمِنَ ٱلْبَقَرِ ٱثْنَيْنِ وَسَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا،

and of the herd two and seventy thousand;

٣٤ 34 وَمِنَ ٱلْحَمِيرِ وَاحِدًا وَسِتِّينَ أَلْفًا،

and of asses one and sixty thousand;

٣٥ 35 وَمِنْ نُفُوسِ ٱلنَّاسِ مِنَ ٱلنِّسَاءِ ٱللَّوَاتِي لَمْ يَعْرِفْنَ مُضَاجَعَةَ ذَكَرٍ، جَمِيعِ ٱلنُّفُوسِ ٱثْنَيْنِ وَثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفًا.

and of human beings — of the women who have not known the lying of a male — all the persons [are] two and thirty thousand.

٣٦ 36 وَكَانَ ٱلنِّصْفُ نَصِيبُ ٱلْخَارِجِينَ إِلَى ٱلْحَرْبِ: عَدَدُ ٱلْغَنَمِ ثَلَاثَ مِئَةٍ وَسَبْعَةً وَثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفًا وَخَمْسَ مِئَةٍ.

And the half — the portion of those who go out into the host — the number of the flock is three hundred thousand, and thirty thousand, and seven thousand and five hundred.

٣٧ 37 وَكَانَتِ ٱلزَّكَاةُ لِلرَّبِّ مِنَ ٱلْغَنَمِ سِتَّ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسَةً وَسَبْعِينَ،

And the tribute to Jehovah of the sheep is six hundred five and seventy;

٣٨ 38 وَٱلْبَقَرُ سِتَّةً وَثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفًا، وَزَكَاتُهَا لِلرَّبِّ ٱثْنَيْنِ وَسَبْعِينَ،

and the herd [is] six and thirty thousand, and their tribute to Jehovah [is] two and seventy;

٣٩ 39 وَٱلْحَمِيرُ ثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفًا وَخَمْسَ مِئَةٍ، وَزَكَاتُهَا لِلرَّبِّ وَاحِدًا وَسِتِّينَ،

and the asses [are] thirty thousand and five hundred, and their tribute to Jehovah [is] one and sixty;

٤٠ 40 وَنُفُوسُ ٱلنَّاسِ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ أَلْفًا، وَزَكَاتُهَا لِلرَّبِّ ٱثْنَيْنِ وَثَلَاثِينَ نَفْسًا.

and the human beings [are] sixteen thousand, and their tribute to Jehovah [is] two and thirty persons.

٤١ 41 فَأَعْطَى مُوسَى ٱلزَّكَاةَ رَفِيعَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ لِأَلِعَازَارَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ كَمَا أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى.

And Moses giveth the tribute — Jehovah's heave-offering — to Eleazar the priest, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

٤٢ 42 وَأَمَّا نِصْفُ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِي قَسَمَهُ مُوسَى مِنَ ٱلرِّجَالِ ٱلْمُتَجَنِّدِينَ:

And of the sons of Israel's half, which Moses halved from the men who war —

٤٣ 43 فَكَانَ نِصْفُ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ مِنَ ٱلْغَنَمِ ثَلَاثَ مِئَةٍ وَسَبْعَةً وَثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفًا وَخَمْسَ مِئَةٍ،

and the company's half is, of the flock three hundred thousand, and thirty thousand, seven thousand and five hundred;

٤٤ 44 وَمِنَ ٱلْبَقَرِ سِتَّةً وَثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفًا،

and of the herd six and thirty thousand;

٤٥ 45 وَمِنَ ٱلْحَمِيرِ ثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفًا وَخَمْسَ مِئَةٍ،

and of asses thirty thousand and five hundred;

٤٦ 46 وَمِنْ نُفُوسِ ٱلنَّاسِ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ أَلْفًا.

and of human beings sixteen thousand —

٤٧ 47 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.

Moses taketh from the sons of Israel's half the one possession from the fifty, of man and of beast, and giveth them to the Levites keeping the charge of the tabernacle of Jehovah, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

٤٨ 48 ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمَ إِلَى مُوسَى ٱلْوُكَلَاءُ ٱلَّذِينَ عَلَى أُلُوفِ ٱلْجُنْدِ، رُؤَسَاءُ ٱلْأُلُوفِ وَرُؤَسَاءُ ٱلْمِئَاتِ،

And the inspectors whom the thousands of the host hath, (heads of the thousands and heads of the hundreds), draw near unto Moses,

٤٩ 49 وَقَالُوا لِمُوسَى: «عَبِيدُكَ قَدْ أَخَذُوا عَدَدَ رِجَالِ ٱلْحَرْبِ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي أَيْدِينَا فَلَمْ يُفْقَدْ مِنَّا إِنْسَانٌ.

and they say unto Moses, 'Thy servants have taken up the sum of the men of war who [are] with us, and not a man of us hath been missed;

٥٠ 50 فَقَدْ قَدَّمْنَا قُرْبَانَ ٱلرَّبِّ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مَا وَجَدَهُ، أَمْتِعَةَ ذَهَبٍ: حُجُولًا وَأَسَاوِرَ وَخَوَاتِمَ وَأَقْرَاطًا وَقَلَائِدَ، لِلتَّكْفِيرِ عَنْ أَنْفُسِنَا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ».

and we bring near Jehovah's offering, each that which he hath found, vessels of gold — chain, and bracelet, seal-ring, [ear] -ring, and bead — to make atonement for ourselves before Jehovah.'

٥١ 51 فَأَخَذَ مُوسَى وَأَلِعَازَارُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ ٱلذَّهَبَ مِنْهُمْ، كُلَّ أَمْتِعَةٍ مَصْنُوعَةٍ.

And Moses receiveth — Eleazar the priest also — the gold from them, every made vessel,

٥٢ 52 وَكَانَ كُلُّ ذَهَبِ ٱلرَّفِيعَةِ ٱلَّتِي رَفَعُوهَا لِلرَّبِّ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ أَلْفًا وَسَبْعَ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسِينَ شَاقِلًا مِنْ عِنْدِ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْأُلُوفِ وَرُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْمِئَاتِ.

and all the gold of the heave-offering which they have lifted up to Jehovah is sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels, from heads of the thousands, and from heads of the hundreds;

٥٣ 53 أَمَّا رِجَالُ ٱلْجُنْدِ فَٱغْتَنَمُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ لِنَفْسِهِ.

(the men of the host have spoiled each for himself);

٥٤ 54 فَأَخَذَ مُوسَى وَأَلِعَازَارُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ ٱلذَّهَبَ مِنْ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْأُلُوفِ وَٱلْمِئَاتِ وَأَتَيَا بِهِ إِلَى خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ تَذْكَارًا لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ.

and Moses taketh — Eleazar the priest also — the gold from the heads of the thousands and of the hundreds, and they bring it in unto the tent of meeting — a memorial for the sons of Israel before Jehovah.
