< عَدَد 11 >
وَرَاحَ الشَّعْبُ يَتَذَمَّرُ فِي مَسْمَعِ الرَّبِّ وَكَأَنَّ شَرّاً أَصَابَهُمْ، فَاحْتَدَمَ غَضَبُ الرَّبِّ عَلَيْهِمْ، وَانْدَلَعَتْ فِيهِمْ نَارُهُ وَأَحْرَقَتْ طَرَفَ الْمُخَيَّمِ، | ١ 1 |
And when the people complained, it displeased the LORD: and the LORD heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp.
فَصَرَخُوا إِلَى مُوسَى، فَصَلَّى مُوسَى إِلَى الرَّبِّ فَخَمِدَتِ النَّارُ، | ٢ 2 |
And the people cried to Moses; and when Moses prayed to the LORD, the fire was quenched.
فَدُعِيَ ذَلِكَ الْمَكَانُ «تَبْعِيرَةَ» (وَمَعْنَاهُ: اشْتِعَالٌ) لأَنَّ نَارَ الرَّبِّ اشْتَعَلَتْ فِيهِمْ. | ٣ 3 |
And he called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire of the LORD burnt among them.
وَاشْتَهَى أَخْلاطُ الأُمَمِ الْمُقِيمُونَ بَيْنَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، مِمَّنْ خَرَجُوا مَعَهُمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ، طَعَامَ مِصْرَ، فَعَادَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ يَبْكُونَ قَائِلِينَ: «مَنْ يُطْعِمُنَا لَحْماً؟ | ٤ 4 |
And the mixed multitude that was among them fell to lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
لَقَدْ تَذَكَّرْنَا سَمَكَ مِصْرَ الَّذِي كُنَّا نَأْكُلُهُ مَجَّاناً، وَالقِثَّاءَ وَالْبَطِّيخَ وَالْكُرَّاتَ وَالْبَصَلَ وَالثُّومَ، | ٥ 5 |
We remember the fish, which we ate in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic:
أَمَّا الآنَ فَقَدْ فَقَدْنَا شَهِيَّتَنَا وَهُزِلْنَا، وَلَيْسَ أَمَامَ أَعْيُنِنَا سِوَى هَذَا الْمَنِّ». | ٦ 6 |
But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, besides this manna, before our eyes.
وَكَانَ الْمَنُّ فِي حَجْمِ بُذُورِ الْكُزْبَرَةِ، وَشَكْلُهُ مُمَاثِلاً لِلْمُقْلِ. | ٧ 7 |
And the manna was as coriander seed, and the colour of it as the colour of bdellium.
وَكَانَ الشَّعْبُ يَطُوفُونَ لِيَجْمَعُوهُ ثُمَّ يَطْحَنُونَهُ بِالرَّحَى أَوْ يَدُقُّونَهُ فِي الْهَاوَنِ وَيَطْبُخُونَهُ فِي الْقُدُورِ أَوْ يَخْبِزُونَهُ عَلَى حِجَارَةٍ مُحَمَّاةٍ. وَكَانَ طَعْمُهُ كَطَعْمِ قَطَائِفَ بِزَيْتٍ. | ٨ 8 |
And the people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in a mortar, and baked it in pans, and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil.
وَكَانَ الْمَنُّ يَنْزِلُ بِنُزُولِ النَّدَى عَلَى الْمُخَيَّمِ فِي أَثْنَاءِ اللَّيْلِ. | ٩ 9 |
And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it.
فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ مُوسَى بُكَاءَ جَمِيعِ أَفْرَادِ الشَّعْبِ، كُلٍّ أَمَامَ بَابِ خَيْمَتِهِ، وَرَأَى احْتِدَامَ غَضَبِ الرَّبِّ الشَّدِيدِ اعْتَرَاهُ الاسْتِيَاءُ. | ١٠ 10 |
Then Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, every man in the door of his tent: and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly; Moses also was displeased.
فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِلرَّبِّ: «لَمَاذَا أَسَأْتَ إِلَى عَبْدِكَ وَلَمْ تَرْضَ عَنْهُ حَتَّى إِنَّكَ حَمَّلْتَهُ مَسْؤولِيَّةَ هَذَا الشَّعْبِ؟ | ١١ 11 |
And Moses said to the LORD, Why hast thou afflicted thy servant? and why have I not found favour in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?
أَلَعَلِّي حَبِلْتُ بِهِ أَوْ وَلَدْتُهُ، حَتَّى تَقُولَ لِي احْمِلْهُ فِي حِضْنِكَ كَمَا يَحْمِلُ الْمُرَبِّي الرَّضِيعَ، وَقُدْهُ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي وَعَدْتَ بِها آبَاءَهُ. | ١٢ 12 |
Have I conceived all this people? have I begotten them, that thou shouldest say to me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father beareth the nursing child, to the land which thou sworest to their fathers?
مِنْ أَيْنَ أَجِيءُ بِلَحْمٍ يَكْفِي جَمِيعَ هَذَا الشَّعْبِ؟ فَإِنَّهُمْ يَبْكُونَ إِلَيَّ قَائِلِينَ: أَعْطِنَا لَحْماً لِنَأْكُلَ. | ١٣ 13 |
Where should I get flesh to give to all this people? for they weep to me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.
إِنَّنِي عَاجِزٌ عَنْ حَمْلِ عِبْءِ هَذَا الشَّعْبِ وَحْدِي لأَنَّهُ ثَقِيلٌ عَلَيَّ. | ١٤ 14 |
I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.
إِنْ كُنْتَ سَتُعَامِلُنِي هَكَذَا، فَاقْتُلْنِي، إِنْ حَظِيتُ بِرِضَاكَ، فَلا أَشْهَدُ بَلِيَّتِي». | ١٥ 15 |
And if thou dealest thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favour in thy sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.
فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «اجْمَعْ إِلَيَّ سَبْعِينَ رَجُلاً مِنَ رُؤَسَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِمَّنْ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُمْ حَقّاً شُيُوخُ الشَّعْبِ وَعُرَفَاؤُهُ، وَأَقْبِلْ بِهِمْ إِلَى خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ لِيَمْثُلُوا مَعَكَ هُنَاكَ. | ١٦ 16 |
And the LORD said to Moses, Gather to me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them to the tabernacle of the congregation, that they may stand there with thee.
فَأَنْزِلَ وَأُخَاطِبَكَ هُنَاكَ، وَآخُذَ مِنَ الرُّوحِ الَّذِي عَلَيْكَ وَأَضَعَ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَيُعِينُونَكَ فِي حَمْلِ مَسْؤولِيَّةِ الشَّعْبِ، فَلا تَحْمِلُهَا أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ. | ١٧ 17 |
And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I will take of the Spirit who is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou mayest not bear it thyself alone.
وَقُلْ لِلشَّعْبِ، أَنْ يَتَقَدَّسُوا لِلْغَدِ، فَيَأْكُلُوا لَحْماً، لأَنَّكُمْ قَدْ بَكَيْتُمْ فِي أُذُنَي الرَّبِّ مُتَسَائِلِينَ: مَنْ يُطْعِمُنَا لَحْماً؟ لَقَدْ كَانَ لَنَا خَيْرٌ فِي مِصْرَ. إِنَّ الرَّبَّ سَيُعْطِيكُمْ لَحْماً فَتَأْكُلُونَ. | ١٨ 18 |
And say thou to the people, Sanctify yourselves for to morrow, and ye shall eat flesh: for ye have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt: therefore the LORD will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.
وَسَتَأْكُلُونَهُ لَا لِيَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ، وَلا لِيَوْمَيْنِ، وَلا لِخَمْسَةِ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ لِعَشْرَةِ أَيَّامٍ وَلا لِعِشْرِينَ يَوْماً، | ١٩ 19 |
Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days;
بَلْ لِشَهْرٍ كَامِلٍ إِلَى أَنْ تَعَافُوهُ وَيَخْرُجَ مِنْ أُنُوفِكُمْ، لأَنَّكُمْ رَفَضْتُمُ الرَّبَّ الَّذِي فِي وَسَطِكُمْ، وَبَكَيْتُمْ لَدَيْهِ قَائِلِينَ: لِمَاذَا خَرَجْنَا مِنْ مِصْرَ؟» | ٢٠ 20 |
But even a whole month, until it shall come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome to you: because ye have despised the LORD who is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?
فَقَالَ مُوسَى: «هَذَا الشَّعْبُ الَّذِي أَنَا قَائِمٌ فِي وَسَطِهِ نَحْوَ سِتِّ مِئَةِ أَلْفِ رَجُلٍ، مَاعَدَا النَّسَاءَ وَالأَطْفَالَ، وَأَنْتَ تَقُولُ إِنَّكَ سَتُعْطِيهِمْ لَحْماً لِيَأْكُلُوا شَهْراً كَامِلاً، | ٢١ 21 |
And Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand footmen; and thou hast said, I will give them flesh, that they may eat a whole month.
فَمَهْمَا ذُبِحَ مِنْ غَنَمٍ وَبَقَرٍ أَيَكْفِيهِمْ؟ أَمْ يَكْفِيهِمْ لَوْ جُمِعَ كُلُّ سَمَكِ الْبَحْرِ؟» | ٢٢ 22 |
Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them, to suffice for them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to suffice for them?
فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «هَلْ تَعْجَزُ يَدُ الرَّبِّ؟ انْتَظِرِ الآنَ لِتَرَى إِنْ كَانَ يَتَحَقَّقُ كَلامِي أَمْ لا». | ٢٣ 23 |
And the LORD said to Moses, Is the LORD’S hand shortened? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass to thee or not.
فَخَرجَ مُوسَى وَكَلَّمَ الشَّعْبَ بِمَا قَالَهُ الرَّبُّ، وَجَمَعَ سَبْعِينَ رَجُلاً مِنْ رُؤَسَائِهِمْ وَأَوْقَفَهُمْ حَوْلَ الْخَيْمَةِ. | ٢٤ 24 |
And Moses went out, and told the people the words of the LORD, and gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them around the tabernacle.
فَنَزَلَ الرَّبُّ فِي سَحَابَةٍ وَخَاطَبَهُ، وَأَخَذَ مِنَ الرُّوحِ الْحَالِّ عَلَيْهِ وَوَضَعَهُ عَلَى السَّبْعِينَ رَئِيساً. فَلَمَّا حَلَّ عَلَيْهِمِ الرُّوحُ تَنَبَّأُوا لِفَتْرَةٍ وَتَوَقَّفُوا. | ٢٥ 25 |
And the LORD came down in a cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave it to the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease.
وَكَانَ قَدْ بَقِيَ اثْنَانِ مِنَ الشُّيُوخِ الْمُسَجَّلِينَ بَيْنَ السَّبْعِينَ فِي الْمُخَيَّمِ لَمْ يَأْتِيَا إِلَى الْخَيْمَةِ، اسْمُ أَحَدِهِمَا أَلْدَادُ، وَاسْمُ الآخَرِ مِيدَادُ. فَحَلَّ عَلَيْهِمَا الرُّوحُ فَتَنَبَّآ فِي الْمُخَيَّمِ. | ٢٦ 26 |
But there remained two of the men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the spirit rested upon them; and they were of them that were recorded, but went not out to the tabernacle: and they prophesied in the camp.
فَأَسْرَعَ أَحَدُ الشُّبَّانِ وَأَخْبَرَ مُوسَى بِذَلِكَ، | ٢٧ 27 |
And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp.
فَقَالَ يَشُوعُ بْنُ نُونَ، مُسَاعِدُ مُوسَى مُنْذُ حَدَاثَتِهِ: «يَا سَيِّدِي، امْنَعْهُمَا!» | ٢٨ 28 |
And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them.
غَيْرَ أَنَّ مُوسَى قَالَ لَهُ: «هَلْ مَلَأَتْكَ غَيْرَةٌ عَلَيَّ؟ لَيْتَ كُلَّ شَعْبِ الرَّبِّ يُصْبِحُونَ أَنْبِيَاءَ يَحِلُّ عَلَيْهِمِ الرَّبُّ بِرُوحِهِ». | ٢٩ 29 |
And Moses said to him, Enviest thou for my sake? O that all the LORD’S people were prophets, and that the LORD would put his spirit upon them!
ثُمَّ رَجَعَ مُوسَى وَشُيُوخُ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى الْمُخَيَّمِ. | ٣٠ 30 |
And Moses withdrew into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
فَهَبَّتْ رِيحٌ مِنْ عِنْدِ الرَّبِّ سَاقَتِ السُّمَانِيَ مِنْ جِهَةِ الْبَحْرِ وَأَسْقَطَتْهَا عَلَى الْمُخَيَّمِ، نَحْوَ مَسِيرَةِ يَوْمٍ، مِنْ كِلا جِهَتَيْهِ وَحَوَالَيْهِ، وَتَرَاكَمَ حَتَّى بَلَغَ ارْتِفَاعُهُ ذِرَاعَيْنِ (نَحْوَ مِتْرٍ) فَوْقَ وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ. | ٣١ 31 |
And there went forth a wind from the LORD, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, as it were a day’s journey on this side, and as it were a day’s journey on the other side, around the camp, and as it were two cubits high upon the face of the earth.
فَهَبَّ الشَّعْبُ طَوَالَ ذَلِكَ النَّهَارِ وَاللَّيْلِ، وَكُلَّ نَهَارِ الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي يَلْتَقِطُونَ السُّمَانِيَ. فَكَانَتْ أَقَلُّ كَمِّيَّةٍ جُمِعَتْ حَوَالَيْ عَشْرَةِ حَوَامِرَ (نَحْوَ أَلْفَيْنِ وَأَرْبَعَ مِئَةِ لِتْرٍ)، ثُمَّ نَشَرُوهَا حَوْلَ الْمُخَيَّمِ لِتَجِفَّ. | ٣٢ 32 |
And the people stood up all that day, and all that night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails: he that gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread them all abroad for themselves around the camp.
وَإِذْ كَانُوا مَازَالُوا يَمْضُغُونَ اللَّحْمَ، احْتَدَمَ غَضَبُ الرَّبِّ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَأَفْشَى بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَأً مُمِيتاً، | ٣٣ 33 |
And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, before it was chewed, the wrath of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the LORD smote the people with a very great plague.
فَدَعُوا الْمَكَانَ «قَبَرُوتَ هَتَّأَوَةَ» (وَمَعْنَاهُ قُبُورُ الشَّهْوَةِ) لأَنَّهُمْ هُنَاكَ دَفَنُوا الْقَوْمَ الْمُشْتَهِينَ. | ٣٤ 34 |
And he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah: because there they buried the people that lusted.
ثُمَّ ارْتَحَلَ الشَّعْبُ مِنْ قَبَرُوتَ هَتَّأَوَةَ إِلَى حَضَيْرُوتَ وَمَكَثُوا فِيهَا. | ٣٥ 35 |
And the people journeyed from Kibrothhattaavah to Hazeroth; and abode at Hazeroth.
