Numbers 9

1 And the Lord said to Moses, in the waste land of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt,

١ وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى فِي بَرِّيَّةِ سِينَاءَ، فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّانِيَةِ لِخُرُوجِهِمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ قَائِلًا:

2 Let the children of Israel keep the Passover at its regular time.

٢ «وَلْيَعْمَلْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلْفِصْحَ فِي وَقْتِهِ.

3 In the fourteenth day of this month, at evening, you are to keep it at the regular time, and in the way ordered in the law.

٣ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلرَّابِعَ عَشَرَ مِنْ هَذَا ٱلشَّهْرِ بَيْنَ ٱلْعَشَاءَيْنِ تَعْمَلُونَهُ فِي وَقْتِهِ. حَسَبَ كُلِّ فَرَائِضِهِ وَكُلِّ أَحْكَامِهِ تَعْمَلُونَهُ».

4 And Moses gave orders to the children of Israel to keep the Passover.

٤ فَكَلَّمَ مُوسَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يَعْمَلُوا ٱلْفِصْحَ.

5 So they kept the Passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, in the waste land of Sinai: as the Lord gave orders to Moses, so the children of Israel did.

٥ فَعَمِلُوا ٱلْفِصْحَ فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلرَّابِعَ عَشَرَ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ بَيْنَ ٱلْعَشَاءَيْنِ فِي بَرِّيَّةِ سِينَاءَ، حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى هَكَذَا فَعَلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ.

6 And there were certain men who were unclean because of a dead body, so that they were not able to keep the Passover on that day; and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day:

٦ لَكِنْ كَانَ قَوْمٌ قَدْ تَنَجَّسُوا لِإِنْسَانٍ مَيْتٍ، فَلَمْ يَحِلَّ لَهُمْ أَنْ يَعْمَلُوا ٱلْفِصْحَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ. فَتَقَدَّمُوا أَمَامَ مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ،

7 And these men said to him, We have been made unclean by the dead body of a man; why may we not make the offering of the Lord at the regular time among the children of Israel?

٧ وَقَالَ لَهُ أُولَئِكَ ٱلنَّاسُ: «إِنَّنَا مُتَنَجِّسُونَ لِإِنْسَانٍ مَيِّتٍ. لِمَاذَا نُتْرَكُ حَتَّى لَا نُقَرِّبَ قُرْبَانَ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي وَقْتِهِ بَيْنَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ؟»

8 And Moses said to them, Do nothing till the Lord gives me directions about you.

٨ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ مُوسَى: «قِفُوا لِأَسْمَعَ مَا يَأْمُرُ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ جِهَتِكُمْ».

9 And the Lord said to Moses,

٩ فَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:

10 Say to the children of Israel, If any one of you or of your families is unclean because of a dead body, or is on a journey far away, still he is to keep the Passover to the Lord:

١٠ «كَلِّمْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلًا: كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْكُمْ أَوْ مِنْ أَجْيَالِكُمْ كَانَ نَجِسًا لِمَيْتٍ، أَوْ فِي سَفَرٍ بَعِيدٍ، فَلْيَعْمَلِ ٱلْفِصْحَ لِلرَّبِّ.

11 In the second month, on the fourteenth day, in the evening, they are to keep it, taking it with unleavened bread and bitter-tasting plants;

١١ فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلثَّانِي، فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلرَّابِعَ عَشَرَ بَيْنَ ٱلْعَشَاءَيْنِ يَعْمَلُونَهُ. عَلَى فَطِيرٍ وَمُرَارٍ يَأْكُلُونَهُ.

12 Nothing of it is to be kept till the morning, and no bone of it is to be broken: they are to keep it by the rules of the Passover.

١٢ لَا يُبْقُوا مِنْهُ إِلَى ٱلصَّبَاحِ وَلَا يَكْسِرُوا عَظْمًا مِنْهُ. حَسَبَ كُلِّ فَرَائِضِ ٱلْفِصْحِ يَعْمَلُونَهُ.

13 But the man who, not being unclean or on a journey, does not keep the Passover, will be cut off from his people: because he did not make the offering of the Lord at the regular time, his sin will be on him.

١٣ لَكِنْ مَنْ كَانَ طَاهِرًا وَلَيْسَ فِي سَفَرٍ، وَتَرَكَ عَمَلَ ٱلْفِصْحِ، تُقْطَعُ تِلْكَ ٱلنَّفْسُ مِنْ شَعْبِهَا، لِأَنَّهَا لَمْ تُقَرِّبْ قُرْبَانَ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي وَقْتِهِ. ذَلِكَ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ يَحْمِلُ خَطِيَّتَهُ.

14 And if a man from another country is among you and has a desire to keep the Passover to the Lord, let him do as is ordered in the law of the Passover: there is to be the same rule for the man from another nation and for him who had his birth in the land.

١٤ وَإِذَا نَزَلَ عِنْدَكُمْ غَرِيبٌ فَلْيَعْمَلْ فِصْحًا لِلرَّبِّ. حَسَبَ فَرِيضَةِ ٱلْفِصْحِ وَحُكْمِهِ كَذَلِكَ يَعْمَلُ. فَرِيضَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ تَكُونُ لَكُمْ لِلْغَرِيبِ وَلِوَطَنِيِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ».

15 And on the day when the House was put up, the cloud came down on it, on the Tent of witness; and in the evening there was a light like fire over the House till the morning.

١٥ وَفِي يَوْمِ إِقَامَةِ ٱلْمَسْكَنِ، غَطَّتِ ٱلسَّحَابَةُ ٱلْمَسْكَنَ، خَيْمَةَ ٱلشَّهَادَةِ. وَفِي ٱلْمَسَاءِ كَانَ عَلَى ٱلْمَسْكَنِ كَمَنْظَرِ نَارٍ إِلَى ٱلصَّبَاحِ.

16 And so it was at all times: it was covered by the cloud, and by a light as of fire by night.

١٦ هَكَذَا كَانَ دَائِمًا. ٱلسَّحَابَةُ تُغَطِّيهِ وَمَنْظَرُ ٱلنَّارِ لَيْلًا.

17 And whenever the cloud was taken up from over the House, then the children of Israel went journeying on; and in the place where the cloud came to rest, there the children of Israel put up their tents.

١٧ وَمَتَى ٱرْتَفَعَتِ ٱلسَّحَابَةُ عَنِ ٱلْخَيْمَةِ كَانَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ يَرْتَحِلُونَ، وَفِي ٱلْمَكَانِ حَيْثُ حَلَّتِ ٱلسَّحَابَةُ هُنَاكَ كَانَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ يَنْزِلُونَ.

18 At the order of the Lord the children of Israel went forward, and at the order of the Lord they put up their tents: as long as the cloud was resting on the House, they did not go away from that place.

١٨ حَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ كَانَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ يَرْتَحِلُونَ، وَحَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ كَانُوا يَنْزِلُونَ. جَمِيعَ أَيَّامِ حُلُولِ ٱلسَّحَابَةِ عَلَى ٱلْمَسْكَنِ كَانُوا يَنْزِلُونَ.

19 When the cloud was resting on the House for a long time the children of Israel, waiting for the order of the Lord, did not go on.

١٩ وَإِذَا تَمَادَتِ ٱلسَّحَابَةُ عَلَى ٱلْمَسْكَنِ أَيَّامًا كَثِيرَةً كَانَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ يَحْرُسُونَ حِرَاسَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَلَا يَرْتَحِلُونَ.

20 Sometimes the cloud was resting on the House for two or three days; then, by the order of the Lord, they kept their tents in that place, and when the Lord gave the order they went on.

٢٠ وَإِذَا كَانَتِ ٱلسَّحَابَةُ أَيَّامًا قَلِيلَةً عَلَى ٱلْمَسْكَنِ، فَحَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ كَانُوا يَنْزِلُونَ، وَحَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ كَانُوا يَرْتَحِلُونَ.

21 And sometimes the cloud was there only from evening to morning; and when the cloud was taken up in the morning they went on their journey again: or if it was resting there by day and by night, whenever the cloud was taken up they went forward.

٢١ وَإِذَا كَانَتِ ٱلسَّحَابَةُ مِنَ ٱلْمَسَاءِ إِلَى ٱلصَّبَاحِ، ثُمَّ ٱرْتَفَعَتِ ٱلسَّحَابَةُ فِي ٱلصَّبَاحِ، كَانُوا يَرْتَحِلُونَ. أَوْ يَوْمًا وَلَيْلَةً ثُمَّ ٱرْتَفَعَتِ ٱلسَّحَابَةُ كَانُوا يَرْتَحِلُونَ.

22 Or if the cloud came to rest on the House for two days or a month or a year without moving, the children of Israel went on waiting there and did not go on; but whenever it was taken up they went forward on their journey.

٢٢ أَوْ يَوْمَيْنِ أَوْ شَهْرًا أَوْ سَنَةً، مَتَى تَمَادَتِ ٱلسَّحَابَةُ عَلَى ٱلْمَسْكَنِ حَالَّةً عَلَيْهِ، كَانَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ يَنْزِلُونَ وَلَا يَرْتَحِلُونَ. وَمَتَى ٱرْتَفَعَتْ كَانُوا يَرْتَحِلُونَ.

23 At the word of the Lord they put up their tents, and at the word of the Lord they went forward on their journey: they kept the orders of the Lord as he gave them by Moses.

٢٣ حَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ كَانُوا يَنْزِلُونَ، وَحَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ كَانُوا يَرْتَحِلُونَ. وَكَانُوا يَحْرُسُونَ حِرَاسَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ حَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ بِيَدِ مُوسَى.
