Numbers 17
1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
| وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: | ١ |
2 'Speak unto the children of Israel, and take of them rods, one for each fathers' house, of all their princes according to their fathers' houses, twelve rods; thou shalt write every man's name upon his rod.
| «كَلِّمْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَخُذْ مِنْهُمْ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ عَصاً، وَاحِدَةً مِنْ كُلِّ رَئِيسِ سِبْطٍ مِنْ أَسْبَاطِ آبَائِهِمْ، وَاحْفُرِ اسْمَ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ عَلَى عَصَاهُ. | ٢ |
3 And thou shalt write Aaron's name upon the rod of Levi, for there shall be one rod for the head of their fathers' houses.
| وَاحْفُرِ اسْمَ هَرُونَ عَلَى عَصَا لاوِي، لأَنَّ لِرَئِيسِ بَيْتِ آبَائِهِمْ عَصاً وَاحِدَةً. | ٣ |
4 And thou shalt lay them up in the tent of meeting before the testimony, where I meet with you.
| وَضَعِ الْعِصِيَّ فِي خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ أَمَامَ الشَّهَادَةِ حَيْثُ أَجْتَمِعُ بِكُمْ. | ٤ |
5 And it shall come to pass, that the man whom I shall choose, his rod shall bud; and I will make to cease from Me the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against you.'
| فَالرَّجُلُ الَّذِي أَخْتَارُهُ تُوْرِقُ عَصَاهُ، وَبِذَلِكَ أَضَعُ حَدّاً لِتَذَمُّرَاتِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّتِي تَرْتَفِعُ ضِدَّكُمَا». | ٥ |
6 And Moses spoke unto the children of Israel; and all their princes gave him rods, for each prince one, according to their fathers' houses, even twelve rods; and the rod of Aaron was among their rods.
| فَأَبْلَغَ مُوسَى ذَلِكَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَأَعْطَاهُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ رُؤَسَائِهِمْ عَصاً بِحَسَبِ أَسْبَاطِهِمْ فَكَانَتِ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ عَصاً. وَكَانَتْ عَصَا هَرُونَ مِنْ بَيْنِ عِصِيِّهِمْ. | ٦ |
7 And Moses laid up the rods before the LORD in the tent of the testimony.
| فَوَضَعَ مُوسَى الْعِصِيَّ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ فِي خَيْمَةِ الشَّهَادَةِ. | ٧ |
8 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses went into the tent of the testimony; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and put forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and bore ripe almonds.
| وَفِي الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي دَخَلَ مُوسَى إِلَى خَيْمَةِ الشَّهَادَةِ فَوَجَدَ أَنَّ عَصَا هَرُونَ الَّتِي تُمَثِّلُ سِبْطَ لاوِي قَدْ أَوْرَقَتْ، إِذْ أَخْرَجَتْ فُرُوخاً وَأَزْهَرَتْ وَأَثْمَرَتْ لَوْزاً نَاضِجاً. | ٨ |
9 And Moses brought out all the rods from before the LORD unto all the children of Israel; and they looked, and took every man his rod.
| فَأَخْرَجَ مُوسَى جَمِيعَ الْعِصِيِّ مِنْ حَضْرَةِ الرَّبِّ لِيَتَفَحَّصَهَا بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ كُلُّهُمْ، فَأَخَذَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ عَصَاهُ. | ٩ |
10 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Put back the rod of Aaron before the testimony, to be kept there, for a token against the rebellious children; that there may be made an end of their murmurings against Me, that they die not.'
| وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «رُدَّ عَصَا هَرُونَ إِلَى أَمَامِ تَابُوتِ الْعَهْدِ وَاحْفَظْهَا لِتَكُونَ عِبْرَةً لِلْمُتَمَرِّدِينَ، فَتَكُفَّ تَذَمُّرَاتُهُمْ عَنِّي لِئَلّا يَهْلِكُوا». | ١٠ |
11 Thus did Moses; as the LORD commanded him, so did he.
| فَفَعَلَ مُوسَى بِمُقْتَضَى أَمْرِ الرَّبِّ. | ١١ |
12 And the children of Israel spoke unto Moses, saying: 'Behold, we perish, we are undone, we are all undone.
| وَقَالَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ لِمُوسَى: «إِنَّنَا انْقَرَضْنَا وَهَلَكْنَا جَمِيعاً، | ١٢ |
13 Every one that cometh near, that cometh near unto the tabernacle of the LORD, is to die; shall we wholly perish?'
| لأَنَّ كُلَّ مَنِ اقْتَرَبَ إِلَى مَسْكَنِ الرَّبِّ يَمُوتُ. تُرَى أَنَفْنَى كُلُّنَا؟» | ١٣ |
