عَدَد 21
| وَعِنْدَمَا سَمِعَ مَلِكُ عَرَادَ الْكَنْعَانِيُّ، الْمُسْتَوْطِنُ فِي النَّقَبِ، أَنَّ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ قَادِمُونَ عَلَى طَرِيقِ أَتَارِيمَ، حَارَبَهُمْ وَأَسَرَ عَدَداً مِنْهُمْ. | ١ 1 |
And the Canaanite, king of Arad, dwelling in the south, hears that Israel has come the way of the Atharim, and he fights against Israel, and takes [some] of them captive.
| فَنَذَرَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ لِلرَّبِّ نَذْراً قَائِلِينَ: «إِنْ أَظْفَرْتَنَا بِهَؤُلاءِ الْقَوْمِ، لَنُحَرِّمَنَّ مُدُنَهُمْ». | ٢ 2 |
And Israel vows a vow to YHWH and says, “If You certainly give this people into my hand, then I have devoted their cities”;
| فَاسْتَجَابَ الرَّبُّ لَهُمْ، وَأَظْفَرَهُمْ بِالْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ، فَحَرَّمُوهُمْ وَمُدُنَهُمْ، فَدُعِيَ اسْمُ الْمَكَانِ «حُرْمَةَ». | ٣ 3 |
and YHWH listens to the voice of Israel and gives up the Canaanite, and he devotes them and their cities, and calls the name of the place Hormah.
| وَارْتَحَلُوا مِنْ جَبَلِ هُورٍ عَنْ طَرِيقِ الْبَحْرِ الأَحْمَرِ لِيَدُورُوا حَوْلَ أَرْضِ أَدُومَ فَأَعْيَتْ نَفْسُ الشَّعْبِ فِي الطَّرِيقِ، | ٤ 4 |
And they journey from Mount Hor, the way of the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom, and the soul of the people is short in the way,
| وَتَذَمَّرُوا عَلَى اللهِ وَعَلَى مُوسَى قَائِلِينَ: «لِمَاذَا أَخْرَجْتُمَانَا مِنْ مِصْرَ لِنَمُوتَ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ، حَيْثُ لَا خُبْزَ وَلا مَاءَ؟ وَقَدْ عَافَتْ أَنْفُسُنَا الطَّعَامَ التَّافِهَ». | ٥ 5 |
and the people speak against God and against Moses, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in a wilderness? For there is no bread, and there is no water, and our soul has been weary of this light bread.”
| فَأَطْلَقَ الرَّبُّ عَلَى الشَّعْبِ الْحَيَّاتِ السَّامَّةَ، فَلَدَغَتِ الشَّعْبَ، فَمَاتَ مِنْهُمْ قَوْمٌ كَثِيرُونَ. | ٦ 6 |
And YHWH sends the burning serpents among the people, and they bite the people, and many people of Israel die;
| فَجَاءَ الشَّعْبُ إِلَى مُوسَى قَائِليِنَ: «لَقَدْ أَخْطَأْنَا إِذْ تَذَمَّرْنَا عَلَى الرَّبِّ وَعَلَيْكَ، فَابْتَهِلْ إِلَى الرَّبِّ لِيُخَلِّصَنَا مِنَ الْحَيَّاتِ». فَصَلَّى مُوسَى مِنْ أَجْلِ الشَّعْبِ، | ٧ 7 |
and the people come to Moses and say, “We have sinned, for we have spoken against YHWH and against you; pray to YHWH that He turns the serpent aside from us”; and Moses prays in behalf of the people.
| فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «اصْنَعْ لَكَ حَيَّةً سَامَّةً وَارْفَعْهَا عَلَى عَمُودٍ، لِكَيْ يَلْتَفِتَ إِلَيْهَا كُلُّ مَنْ تَلْدَغُهُ حَيَّةٌ، فَيَحْيَا» | ٨ 8 |
And YHWH says to Moses, “Make a burning [serpent] for yourself, and set it on an ensign; and it has been, everyone who is bitten and has seen it—he has lived.”
| فَصَنَعَ مُوسَى حَيَّةً مِنْ نُحَاسٍ وَأَقَامَهَا عَلَى عَمُودٍ، فَكَانَ كُلُّ مَنْ لَدَغَتْهُ حَيَّةٌ، يَلْتَفِتُ إِلَى حَيَّةِ النُّحَاسِ وَيَحْيَا. | ٩ 9 |
And Moses makes a serpent of bronze, and sets it on the ensign, and it has been, if the serpent has bitten any man, and he has looked expectingly to the serpent of bronze—he has lived.
| ثُمَّ انْتَقَلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ وَنَزَلُوا فِي أُوبُوتَ، | ١٠ 10 |
And the sons of Israel journey and encamp in Oboth.
| وَمِنْهَا ارْتَحَلُوا وَحَلُّوا فِي عَيِيِّ عَبَارِيمَ، فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ الْمُقَابِلَةِ لِمُوآبَ فِي اتِّجَاهِ الشَّرْقِ. | ١١ 11 |
And they journey from Oboth and encamp in Ije-Abarim, in the wilderness that [is] on the front of Moab, at the rising of the sun.
| ثُمَّ ارْتَحَلُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ وَنَزَلُوا فِي وَادِي زَارَدَ، | ١٢ 12 |
From there they have journeyed and encamp in the Valley of Zared.
| بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ انْتَقَلُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ وَأَقَامُوا إِلَى جَانِبِ أَرْنُونَ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ، وَرَاءَ حُدُودِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ، لأَنَّ أَرْنُونَ هِيَ الْحَدُّ الْفَاصِلُ مَا بَيْنَ بِلادِ مُوآبَ وَالأَمُورِيِّينَ. | ١٣ 13 |
From there they have journeyed and encamp beyond Arnon, which [is] in the wilderness which is coming out of the border of the Amorite, for Arnon [is] the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorite;
| لِذَلِكَ وَرَدَ فِي كِتَابِ حُرُوبِ الرَّبِّ: «مَدِينَةُ وَاهِبٍ فِي مِنْطَقَةِ سُوفَةَ، وَأَوْدِيَةِ نَهْرِ أَرْنُونَ، | ١٤ 14 |
therefore it is said in [the] scroll of the Wars of YHWH: “Waheb in Suphah, And the brooks of Arnon;
| وَمَصَبِّ الأَوْدِيَةِ الْمُمْتَدِّ نَحْوَ مَدِينَةِ عَارَ، وَالْمُسْتَنِدِ إِلَى حُدُودِ مُوآبَ». | ١٥ 15 |
And the spring of the brooks, Which turned aside to the dwelling of Ar, And has leaned to the border of Moab.”
| وَمِنْ هُنَاكَ مَضَوْا نَحْوَ بِئْرٍ، وَهِيَ الْبِئْرُ الَّتِي قَالَ الرَّبُّ عِنْدَهَا لِمُوسَى: «اجْمَعِ الشَّعْبَ لأُعْطِيَهُمْ مَاءً» | ١٦ 16 |
And from there [they journeyed] to Beer; it [is] the well [concerning] which YHWH said to Moses, “Gather the people, and I give water to them.”
| حِينَئِذٍ شَدَا الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ بِهَذَا النَّشِيدِ: «ارْتَفِعْ يَا مَاءَ الْبِئْرِ! | ١٧ 17 |
Then Israel sings this song: “Spring up, O well, Let all answer to it!
| تَغَنَّوْا بِها، تَغَنَّوْا بِالْبِئْرِ الَّتِي حَفَرَهَا رُؤَسَاءُ. حَفَرَهَا شُرَفَاءُ الشَّعْبِ بِالصَّوْلَجَانِ وَالْعِصِيِّ». ثُمَّ انْتَقَلُوا مِنَ الصَّحْرَاءِ إِلَى مَتَّانَةَ. | ١٨ 18 |
A well—princes have dug it, Nobles of the people have prepared it, With the lawgiver, with their staffs.” And from the wilderness [they journeyed] to Mattanah,
| وَمِنْ مَتَّانَةَ إِلَى نَحْلِيئِيلَ وَمِنْ نَحْلِيئِيلَ إِلَى بَامُوتَ. | ١٩ 19 |
and from Mattanah to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth,
| وَمِنْ بَامُوتَ إِلَى الْجِوَاءِ الَّتِي فِي صَحْرَاءِ مُوآبَ عِنْدَ قِمَّةِ الْفِسْجَةِ الْمُشْرِفَةِ عَلَى امْتِدَادِ الصَّحْرَاءِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
and from Bamoth, in the valley which [is] in the field of Moab, [to] the top of Pisgah, which has looked on the front of the wilderness.
| وَبَعَثَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ رُسُلاً إِلَى سِيحُونَ مَلِكِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ قَائِلِينَ: | ٢١ 21 |
And Israel sends messengers to Sihon king of the Amorite, saying,
| «دَعْنَا نَجْتَزْ فِي أَرْضِكَ، فَلا نَمِيلُ إِلَى حَقْلٍ وَلا إِلَى كَرْمٍ، وَلا نَشْرَبُ مَاءَ بِئْرٍ، بَلْ نَسِيرُ فِي الطَّرِيقِ الْعَامَّةِ الْمُخَصَّصَةِ لِلسَّفَرِ حَتَّى نَعْبُرَ حُدُودَكَ». | ٢٢ 22 |
“Let me pass through your land, we do not turn aside into a field or into a vineyard; we do not drink waters of a well; we go in the king’s way until we pass over your border.”
| فَلَمْ يَأْذَنْ سِيحُونُ لِلإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ بِالْمُرُورِ فِي تُخُومِهِ، بَلْ حَشَدَ جَيْشَهُ وَخَرَجَ لِلِقَائِهِمْ إِلَى الصَّحْرَاءِ، وَحَارَبَهُمْ عِنْدَ يَاهَصَ، | ٢٣ 23 |
And Sihon has not permitted Israel to pass through his border, and Sihon gathers all his people, and comes out to meet Israel in the wilderness, and comes to Jahaz, and fights against Israel.
| فَهَزَمَهُ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ، وَاسْتَوْلَوْا عَلَى بِلادِهِ مِنْ أَرْنُونَ إِلَى يَبُّوقَ حَتَّى حُدُودِ الْعَمُّونِيِّينَ وَلَمْ يَتَجَاوَزُوهَا لِمَنَاعَتِهَا. | ٢٤ 24 |
And Israel strikes him by the mouth of the sword, and possesses his land from Arnon to Jabbok—to the sons of Ammon; for the border of the sons of Ammon [is] strong.
| وَامْتَلَكَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ كُلَّ مُدُنِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ، وَمِنْ جُمْلَتِهَا حَشْبُونُ وَضَوَاحِيهَا وَأَقَامُوا فِيهَا، | ٢٥ 25 |
And Israel takes all these cities, and Israel dwells in all the cities of the Amorite, in Heshbon and in all its villages;
| لأَنَّ حَشْبُونَ كَانَتْ عَاصِمَةَ سِيحُونَ مَلِكِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ الَّذِي كَانَ قَدْ حَارَبَ مَلِكَ مُوآبَ السَّابِقَ وَاسْتَوْلَى عَلَى أَرَاضِيهِ كُلِّهَا حَتَّى أَرْنُونَ. | ٢٦ 26 |
for Heshbon is a city of Sihon king of the Amorite, and he has fought against the former king of Moab, and takes all his land out of his hand as far as Arnon;
| لِهَذَا يَقُولُ الشُّعَرَاءُ: «هَيَّا إِلَى حَشْبُونَ فَتُبْنَى، وَتُشَيَّدُ مَدِينَةُ سِيحُونَ. | ٢٧ 27 |
therefore those using allegories say: “Enter Heshbon, Let the city of Sihon be built and ready,
| فَقَدِ انْدَلَعَتْ نَارٌ مِنْ حَشْبُونَ، لَهِيبٌ مِنْ مَدِينَةِ سِيحُونَ، فَالْتَهَمَتْ عَارَ مُوآبَ، وَأَهْلَكَتْ أَهْلَ مُرْتَفَعَاتِ أَرْنُونَ. | ٢٨ 28 |
For fire has gone out from Heshbon, A flame from the city of Sihon, It has consumed Ar of Moab, Owners of the high places of Arnon.
| وَيْلٌ لَكَ يَا مُوآبُ. هَلَكْتِ يَا أُمَّةَ كَمُوشَ. قَدْ هَرَبَ أَبْنَاؤُهُ وَأَصْبَحَتْ بَنَاتُهُ سَبَايَا سِيحُونَ مَلِكِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ. | ٢٩ 29 |
Woe to you, O Moab, You have perished, O people of Chemosh! He has given his sons [as] fugitives, And his daughters into captivity, To Sihon king of the Amorite!
| لَكِنْ قَدْ طَوَّحْنَا بِهِمْ. هَلَكَتْ حَشْبُونُ إِلَى دِيبُونَ، دَمَّرْنَا الْبِلادَ حَتَّى نُوفَحَ الَّتِي تَمْتَدُّ إِلَى مِيدَبَا». | ٣٠ 30 |
And we shoot them; Heshbon has perished as far as Dibon, And we make desolate as far as Nophah, Which [is] as far as Medeba.”
| فَأَقَامَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ فِي بِلادِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ. | ٣١ 31 |
And Israel dwells in the land of the Amorite,
| وَأَرْسَلَ مُوسَى لِيَسْتَكْشِفَ مِنْطَقَةَ يَعَزِيرَ، وَمَا لَبِثَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنِ اسْتَوْلَوْا عَلَى قُرَاهَا وَطَرَدُوا مِنْهَا الأَمُورِيِّينَ، | ٣٢ 32 |
and Moses sends to spy out Jaazer, and they capture its villages, and dispossess the Amorite who [is] there,
| ثُمَّ اتَّجَهُوا نَحْوَ طَرِيقِ بَاشَانَ. فَهَبَّ عُوجُ مَلِكُ بَاشَانَ مَعَ جَمِيعِ قَوْمِهِ لِلِقَائِهِمْ فِي إِذْرَعِي وَمُحَارَبَتِهِمْ. | ٣٣ 33 |
and turn and go up the way of Bashan, and Og king of Bashan comes out to meet them, he and all his people, to battle [at] Edrei.
| فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «لا تَخَفْ مِنْهُ لأَنَّنِي قَدْ دَفَعْتُهُ لِيَدِكَ مَعَ جَمِيعِ قَوْمِهِ وَأَرْضِهِ، فَتَفْعَلُ بِهِ مَا فَعَلْتَهُ بِسِيحُونَ مَلِكِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ فِي حَشْبُونَ». | ٣٤ 34 |
And YHWH says to Moses, “Do not fear him, for into your hand I have given him, and all his people, and his land, and you have done to him as you have done to Sihon king of the Amorite, who is dwelling in Heshbon.”
| فَقَضَوْا عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى أَبْنَائِهِ وَقَوْمِهِ حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْهُمْ حَيٌّ، وَامْتَلَكُوا دِيَارَهُ. | ٣٥ 35 |
And they strike him, and his sons, and all his people, until he has no remnant left to him, and they possess his land.
