عَدَد 9

١ 1 وَفِي الشَّهْرِ الأَوَّلِ مِنَ السَّنَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ لِخُرُوجِهِمْ مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ، قَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى فِي صَحْرَاءِ سِينَاءَ:

And the Lord spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sina in the second year after they had gone forth from the land of Egypt, in the first month, saying,

٢ 2 «لِيَحْتَفِلْ شَعْبُ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِالْفِصْحِ فِي أَوَانِهِ.

Speak, and let the children of Israel keep the passover in its season.

٣ 3 احْتَفِلُوا بِهِ فِي الْيَوْمِ الرَّابِعَ عَشَرَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الأَوَّلِ بَيْنَ غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ وَحُلُولِ الظَّلامِ قَائِمِينَ بِكُلِّ شَعَائِرِهِ وَأَحْكَامِهِ».

On the fourteenth day of the first month at even, thou shalt keep it in its season; thou shalt keep it according to its law, and according to its ordinance.

٤ 4 فَأَمَرَ مُوسَى الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ أَنْ يَحْتَفِلُوا بِالْفِصْحِ،

And Moses ordered the children of Israel to sacrifice the passover,

٥ 5 فَاحْتَفَلُوا بِهِ فِي صَحْرَاءِ سِينَاءَ فِي الْيَوْمِ الرَّابِعَ عَشَرَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الأَوَّلِ بَيْنَ غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ وَحُلُولِ الظَّلامِ، طِبْقاً لِكُلِّ مَا أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ بِهِ مُوسَى.

on the fourteenth day of the first month in the wilderness of Sina, as the Lord appointed Moses, so the children of Israel did.

٦ 6 إِلّا أَنَّ قَوْماً كَانُوا قَدْ لَمَسُوا مَيْتاً فَتَنَجَّسُوا، فَلَمْ يَحِلَّ لَهُمُ الاحْتِفَالُ بِالْفِصْحِ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ، فَمَثَلُوا أَمَامَ مُوسَى وَهَرُونَ،

And there came men who were unclean by reason of a dead body, and they were not able to keep the passover on that day; and they came before Moses and Aaron on that day.

٧ 7 وَسَأَلُوهُ: «إِنَّنَا مُتَنَجِّسُونَ لأَنَّنَا لَمَسْنَا مَيْتاً، فَلِمَاذَا نُحْرَمُ مِنْ تَقْدِيمِ قُرْبَانِ الرَّبِّ فِي أَوَانِهِ مِنْ دُونِ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟»

And those men said to Moses, We are unclean by reason of the dead body of a man: shall we therefore fail to offer the gift to the Lord in its season in the midst of the children of Israel?

٨ 8 فَأَجَابَهُمْ مُوسَى: «انْتَظِرُوا رَيْثَمَا يُبَلِّغُنِي الرَّبُّ أَمْرَهُ بِشَأْنِكُمْ».

And Moses said to them, stand there, and I will hear what charge the Lord will give concerning you.

٩ 9 فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى:

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

١٠ 10 «أَوْصِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: فِي وُسْعِ كُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْكُمْ وَمِنْ أَعْقَابِكُمْ تَنَجَّسَ لِلَمْسِهِ مَيْتاً أَوْ كَانَ فِي سَفَرٍ بَعِيدٍ، أَنْ يَحْتَفِلَ بِفِصْحِ الرَّبِّ.

Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Whatever man shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or on a journey far off, among you, or among your posterity; he shall then keep the passover to the Lord,

١١ 11 احْتَفِلُوا بِهِ فِي الْيَوْمِ الرَّابِعَ عَشَرَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الثَّانِي بَيْنَ غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ وَحُلُولِ الظَّلامِ فَتَأْكُلُوا الْفِصْحَ مَعَ فَطِيرٍ وَأَعْشَابٍ مُرَّةٍ.

in the second month, on the fourteenth day; in the evening they shall offer it, with unleavened bread and bitter herbs shall they eat it.

١٢ 12 لَا تَتْرُكُوا مِنْهُ شَيْئاً إِلَى الصَّبَاحِ، وَلا تَكْسِرُوا مِنْهُ عَظْماً. احْتَفِلُوا بِهِ طِبْقاً لِشَعَائِرِ الْفِصْحِ كُلِّهَا.

They shall not leave of it until the morrow, and they shall not break a bone of it; they shall sacrifice it according to the ordinance of the passover.

١٣ 13 وَلَكِنْ مَنْ كَانَ طَاهِراً وَلَيْسَ فِي سَفَرٍ، وَأَغْفَلَ الاحْتِفَالَ بِالْفِصْحِ، فَإِنَّهُ يُسْتَأْصَلُ مِنْ بَيْنِ شَعْبِهِ، لأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُقَدِّمْ قُرْبَانَ الرَّبِّ فِي أَوَانِهِ. ذَلِكَ الإِنْسَانُ يَتَحَمَّلُ عِقَابَ خَطِيئَتِهِ.

And whatsoever man shall be clean, and is not far off on a journey, and shall fail to keep the passover, that soul shall be cut off from his people, because he has not offered the gift to the Lord in its season: that man shall bear his iniquity.

١٤ 14 وَإذَا حَلَّ عِنْدَكُمْ غَرِيبٌ فَلْيَحْتَفِلْ بِالْفِصْحِ طِبْقاً لِشَعَائِرِ الْفِصْحِ وَأَحْكَامِهِ، فَتَكُونَ لَكُمْ فَرِيضَةً وَاحِدَةً لِلْغَرِيبِ وَلِلْمُوَاطِنِ عَلَى حَدٍّ سَوَاءٍ».

And if there should come to you a stranger in your land, and should keep the passover to the Lord, he shall keep it according to the law of the passover and according to its ordinance: there shall be one law for you, both for the stranger, and for the native of the land.

١٥ 15 وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي نُصِبَ فِيهِ الْمَسْكَنُ غَطَّتِ السَّحَابَةُ خَيْمَةَ الشَّهَادَةِ. وَفِي الْمَسَاءِ بَدَا وَكَأَنَّ عَلَى الْمَسْكَنِ نَاراً بَقِيَتْ حَتَّى الصَّبَاحِ.

And in the day in which the tabernacle was pitched the cloud covered the tabernacle, the place of the testimony; and in the evening there was upon the tabernacle as the appearance of fire till the morning.

١٦ 16 وَاسْتَمَرَّ الأَمْرُ عَلَى هَذِهِ الْحَالِ، إِذْ كَانَتِ السَّحَابَةُ تُغَطِّي الْمَسْكَنَ نَهَاراً، وَتَتَحَوَّلُ إِلَى مَا يُشْبِهُ النَّارَ لَيْلاً.

So it was continually: the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of fire by night.

١٧ 17 وَكُلَّمَا ارْتَفَعَتِ السَّحَابَةُ عَنِ الْخَيْمَةِ كَانَ عَلَى شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ الارْتِحَالُ، وَحَيْثُمَا حَلَّتِ السَّحَابَةُ كَانُوا يَنْزِلُونَ هُنَاكَ،

And when the cloud went up from the tabernacle, then after that the children of Israel departed; and in whatever place the cloud rested, there the children of Israel encamped.

١٨ 18 فَكَانَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ يَرْتَحِلُونَ حَسَبَ قَوْلِ الرَّبِّ، وَبِمُوْجِبِ أَمْرِهِ كَانُوا يَنْزِلُونَ، وَيَمْكُثُونَ مُقِيمِينَ طَوَالَ أَيَّامِ حُلُولِ السَّحَابَةِ عَلَى الْمَسْكَنِ.

The children of Israel shall encamp by the command of the Lord, and by the command of the Lord they shall remove: all the days in which the cloud overshadows the tabernacle, the children of Israel shall encamp. And whenever the cloud shall be drawn over the tabernacle for many days, then the children of Israel shall keep the charge of God, and they shall not remove.

١٩ 19 وَإِنْ طَالَ أَمَدُ حُلُولِ السَّحَابَةِ عَلَى الْمَسْكَنِ أَيَّاماً كَثِيرَةً، كَانَ شَعْبُ إِسْرَائِيلَ يُطِيعُونَ أَمْرَ الرَّبِّ، وَيَلْبَثُونَ مُقِيمِينَ لَا يَرْتَحِلُونَ.

And it shall be, whenever the cloud overshadows the tabernacle a number of days, they shall encamp by the word of the Lord, and shall remove by the command of the Lord.

٢٠ 20 وَكَانَتِ السَّحَابَةُ تُخَيِّمُ أَحْيَاناً عَلَى الْمَسْكَنِ أَيَّاماً قَلِيلَةً، فَكَانَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ يَنْزِلُونَ حَسَبَ قَوْلِ الرَّبِّ، وَوَفْقاً لأَمْرِهِ كَانُوا يَرْتَحِلُونَ.

And it shall come to pass, whenever the cloud shall remain from the evening till the morning, and in the morning the cloud shall go up, then shall they remove by day or by night.

٢١ 21 وَإذَا حَلَّتِ السَّحَابَةُ مِنَ الْمَسَاءِ إِلَى الصَّبَاحِ ثُمَّ ارْتَفَعَتْ عِنْدَ الصَّبَاحِ فَإِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يَرْتَحِلُونَ، وَكَذَلِكَ إِنْ حَلَّتْ يَوْماً وَلَيْلَةً ثُمَّ ارْتَفَعَتْ، كَانُوا يَرْتَحِلُونَ.

When the cloud continues a full month overshadowing the tabernacle, the children of Israel shall encamp, and shall not depart.

٢٢ 22 أَوْ إِنْ مَكَثَتِ السَّحَابَةُ يَوْمَيْنِ أَوْ شَهْراً أَوْ سَنَةً، كَانَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ يُقِيمُونَ وَلا يَرْتَحِلُونَ مَادَامَتِ السَّحَابَةُ حَالَّةً عَلَى الْمَسْكَنِ. وَمَتَى ارْتَفَعَتْ كَانُوا يَرْتَحِلُونَ.

For they shall depart by the command of the Lord: - they kept the charge of the Lord by the command of the Lord by the hand of Moses.

٢٣ 23 وَهَكَذَا كَانُوا فِي نُزُولِهِمْ وَرَحِيلِهِمْ يَأْتَمِرُونَ بِقَوْلِ الرَّبِّ، فَأَطَاعُوا أَوَامِرَ الرَّبِّ طِبْقاً لِمَا أَوْصَى بِهِ مُوسَى.
