< Numbers 31 >

1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:١
2 “Execute the vengeance of the sons of Israel against the Midianites—afterward you are gathered to your people.”
«اِنْتَقِمْ نَقْمَةً لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنَ ٱلْمِدْيَانِيِّينَ، ثُمَّ تُضَمُّ إِلَى قَوْمِكَ».٢
3 And Moses speaks to the people, saying, “Arm men from [among] you for the war, and they are against Midian, to put the vengeance of YHWH on Midian;
فَكَلَّمَ مُوسَى ٱلشَّعْبَ قَائِلًا: «جَرِّدُوا مِنْكُمْ رِجَالًا لِلْجُنْدِ، فَيَكُونُوا عَلَى مِدْيَانَ لِيَجْعَلُوا نَقْمَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى مِدْيَانَ.٣
4 one thousand for a tribe—you send one thousand for a tribe, of all the tribes of Israel, to the war.”
أَلْفًا وَاحِدًا مِنْ كُلِّ سِبْطٍ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ تُرْسِلُونَ لِلْحَرْبِ».٤
5 And there are given out of the thousands of Israel one thousand for a tribe—twelve thousand armed ones [for] war;
فَٱخْتِيرَ مِنْ أُلُوفِ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَلْفٌ مِنْ كُلِّ سِبْطٍ. ٱثْنَا عَشَرَ أَلْفًا مُجَرَّدُونَ لِلْحَرْبِ.٥
6 and Moses sends them, one thousand for a tribe, to the war; [he sent] them and Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest to the war, with the holy vessels and the trumpets of shouting in his hand.
فَأَرْسَلَهُمْ مُوسَى أَلْفًا مِنْ كُلِّ سِبْطٍ إِلَى ٱلْحَرْبِ، هُمْ وَفِينْحَاسَ بْنَ أَلِعَازَارَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ إِلَى ٱلْحَرْبِ، وَأَمْتِعَةُ ٱلْقُدْسِ وَأَبْوَاقُ ٱلْهُتَافِ فِي يَدِهِ.٦
7 And they war against Midian, as YHWH has commanded Moses, and slay every male;
فَتَجَنَّدُوا عَلَى مِدْيَانَ كَمَا أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ وَقَتَلُوا كُلَّ ذَكَرٍ.٧
8 and they have slain the kings of Midian besides their pierced ones: Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba—five kings of Midian; and they have slain Balaam son of Beor with the sword.
وَمُلُوكُ مِدْيَانَ قَتَلُوهُمْ فَوْقَ قَتْلَاهُمْ: أَوِيَ وَرَاقِمَ وَصُورَ وَحُورَ وَرَابِعَ. خَمْسَةَ مُلُوكِ مِدْيَانَ. وَبَلْعَامَ بْنَ بَعُورَ قَتَلُوهُ بِٱلسَّيْفِ.٨
9 And the sons of Israel take the women of Midian and their infants captive; and they have plundered all their livestock, and all their substance, and all their wealth;
وَسَبَى بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ نِسَاءَ مِدْيَانَ وَأَطْفَالَهُمْ، وَنَهَبُوا جَمِيعَ بَهَائِمِهِمْ، وَجَمِيعَ مَوَاشِيهِمْ وَكُلَّ أَمْلَاكِهِمْ.٩
10 and they have burned all their cities, with their habitations, and all their towers, with fire.
وَأَحْرَقُوا جَمِيعَ مُدُنِهِمْ بِمَسَاكِنِهِمْ، وَجَمِيعَ حُصُونِهِمْ بِٱلنَّارِ.١٠
11 And they take all the spoil and all the prey, among man and among beast;
وَأَخَذُوا كُلَّ ٱلْغَنِيمَةِ وَكُلَّ ٱلنَّهْبِ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَٱلْبَهَائِمِ،١١
12 and they bring in the captives, and the prey, and the spoil to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the congregation of the sons of Israel, to the camp, to the plains of Moab, which [are] by the Jordan, [near] Jericho.
وَأَتَوْا إِلَى مُوسَى وَأَلِعَازَارَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ وَإِلَى جَمَاعَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بِٱلسَّبْيِ وَٱلنَّهْبِ وَٱلْغَنِيمَةِ إِلَى ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ إِلَى عَرَبَاتِ مُوآبَ ٱلَّتِي عَلَى أُرْدُنِّ أَرِيحَا.١٢
13 And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, go out to meet them, to the outside of the camp,
فَخَرَجَ مُوسَى وَأَلِعَازَارُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ وَكُلُّ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ لِٱسْتِقْبَالِهِمْ إِلَى خَارِجِ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ.١٣
14 and Moses is angry against the inspectors of the force, chiefs of the thousands, and chiefs of the hundreds, who are coming in from the warfare of battle.
فَسَخَطَ مُوسَى عَلَى وُكَلَاءِ ٱلْجَيْشِ، رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْأُلُوفِ وَرُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْمِئَاتِ ٱلْقَادِمِينَ مِنْ جُنْدِ ٱلْحَرْبِ.١٤
15 And Moses says to them, “Have you kept every female alive?
وَقَالَ لَهُمْ مُوسَى: «هَلْ أَبْقَيْتُمْ كُلَّ أُنْثَى حَيَّةً؟١٥
16 Behold, they have been to the sons of Israel, through the word of Balaam, to cause a trespass against YHWH in the matter of Peor, and the plague is in the congregation of YHWH.
إِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ كُنَّ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، حَسَبَ كَلَامِ بَلْعَامَ، سَبَبَ خِيَانَةٍ لِلرَّبِّ فِي أَمْرِ فَغُورَ، فَكَانَ ٱلْوَبَأُ فِي جَمَاعَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ.١٦
17 And now, slay every male among the infants, indeed, slay every woman knowing a man by the lying of a male;
فَٱلْآنَ ٱقْتُلُوا كُلَّ ذَكَرٍ مِنَ ٱلْأَطْفَالِ. وَكُلَّ ٱمْرَأَةٍ عَرَفَتْ رَجُلًا بِمُضَاجَعَةِ ذَكَرٍ ٱقْتُلُوهَا.١٧
18 and all the infants among the women who have not known the lying of a male you have kept alive for yourselves.
لَكِنْ جَمِيعُ ٱلْأَطْفَالِ مِنَ ٱلنِّسَاءِ ٱللَّوَاتِي لَمْ يَعْرِفْنَ مُضَاجَعَةَ ذَكَرٍ أَبْقُوهُنَّ لَكُمْ حَيَّاتٍ.١٨
19 And you, encamp at the outside of the camp [for] seven days; any who has slain a person, and any who has come against a pierced one, cleanse yourselves on the third day and on the seventh day—you and your captives;
وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَٱنْزِلُوا خَارِجَ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ، وَتَطَهَّرُوا كُلُّ مَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْسًا، وَكُلُّ مَنْ مَسَّ قَتِيلًا، فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ وَفِي ٱلسَّابِعِ، أَنْتُمْ وَسَبْيُكُمْ.١٩
20 and every garment, and every skin vessel, and every work of goats’ [hair], and every wooden vessel, you yourselves cleanse.”
وَكُلُّ ثَوْبٍ، وَكُلُّ مَتَاعٍ مِنْ جِلْدٍ، وَكُلُّ مَصْنُوعٍ مِنْ شَعْرِ مَعْزٍ، وَكُلُّ مَتَاعٍ مِنْ خَشَبٍ، تُطَهِّرُونَهُ».٢٠
21 And Eleazar the priest says to the men of war who go to battle, “This [is] the statute of the law which YHWH has commanded Moses:
وَقَالَ أَلِعَازَارُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ لِرِجَالِ ٱلْجُنْدِ ٱلَّذِينَ ذَهَبُوا لِلْحَرْبِ: «هَذِهِ فَرِيضَةُ ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَمَرَ بِهَا ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى:٢١
22 only the gold, and the silver, the bronze, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
اَلذَّهَبُ وَٱلْفِضَّةُ وَٱلنُّحَاسُ وَٱلْحَدِيدُ وَٱلْقَصْدِيرُ وَٱلرَّصَاصُ،٢٢
23 everything which may go into fire, you cause to pass over through fire, and it has been clean; it is surely cleansed with the water of separation; and all that may not go into fire, you cause to pass over through water;
كُلُّ مَا يَدْخُلُ ٱلنَّارَ، تُجِيزُونَهُ فِي ٱلنَّارِ فَيَكُونُ طَاهِرًا، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ يَتَطَهَّرُ بِمَاءِ ٱلنَّجَاسَةِ. وَأَمَّا كُلُّ مَا لَا يَدْخُلُ ٱلنَّارَ فَتُجِيزُونَهُ فِي ٱلْمَاءِ.٢٣
24 and you have washed your garments on the seventh day and have been clean, and afterward you come into the camp.”
وَتَغْسِلُونَ ثِيَابَكُمْ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ فَتَكُونُونَ طَاهِرِينَ، وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ تَدْخُلُونَ ٱلْمَحَلَّةَ».٢٤
25 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:٢٥
26 “Take up the sum of the prey of the captives, among man and among beast, you, and Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the fathers of the congregation;
«أَحْصِ ٱلنَّهْبَ ٱلْمَسْبِيَّ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَٱلْبَهَائِمِ، أَنْتَ وَأَلِعَازَارُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ وَرُؤُوسُ آبَاءِ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ.٢٦
27 and you have halved the prey between those handling the battle, who go out to the war, and all the congregation;
وَنَصِّفِ ٱلنَّهْبَ بَيْنَ ٱلَّذِينَ بَاشَرُوا ٱلْقِتَالَ ٱلْخَارِجِينَ إِلَى ٱلْحَرْبِ، وَبَيْنَ كُلِّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ.٢٧
28 and you have raised a tribute to YHWH from the men of battle, who go out to the war, one body out of five hundred, of man, and of the herd, and of the donkeys, and of the flock;
وَٱرْفَعْ زَكَاةً لِلرَّبِّ. مِنْ رِجَالِ ٱلْحَرْبِ ٱلْخَارِجِينَ إِلَى ٱلْقِتَالِ وَاحِدَةً. نَفْسًا مِنْ كُلِّ خَمْسِ مِئَةٍ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَٱلْبَقَرِ وَٱلْحَمِيرِ وَٱلْغَنَمِ.٢٨
29 you take from their half and have given [it] to Eleazar the priest [as] a raised-offering of YHWH.
مِنْ نِصْفِهِمْ تَأْخُذُونَهَا وَتُعْطُونَهَا لِأَلِعَازَارَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ رَفِيعَةً لِلرَّبِّ.٢٩
30 And from the sons of Israel’s half you take one possession out of fifty, of man, of the herd, of the donkeys, and of the flock, of all the livestock, and you have given them to the Levites keeping the charge of the Dwelling Place of YHWH.”
وَمِنْ نِصْفِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ تَأْخُذُ وَاحِدَةً مَأْخُوذَةً مِنْ كُلِّ خَمْسِينَ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَٱلْبَقَرِ وَٱلْحَمِيرِ وَٱلْغَنَمِ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلْبَهَائِمِ، وَتُعْطِيهَا لِلَّاوِيِّينَ ٱلْحَافِظِينَ شَعَائِرَ مَسْكَنِ ٱلرَّبِّ».٣٠
31 And Moses does—Eleazar the priest also—as YHWH has commanded Moses.
فَفَعَلَ مُوسَى وَأَلِعَازَارُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ كَمَا أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى.٣١
32 And the prey, the remainder of the spoil which the people of the host have spoiled, is six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand of the flock;
وَكَانَ ٱلنَّهْبُ فَضْلَةُ ٱلْغَنِيمَةِ ٱلَّتِي ٱغْتَنَمَهَا رِجَالُ ٱلْجُنْدِ: مِنَ ٱلْغَنَمِ سِتَّ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسَةً وَسَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا،٣٢
33 and seventy-two thousand of the herd;
وَمِنَ ٱلْبَقَرِ ٱثْنَيْنِ وَسَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا،٣٣
34 and sixty-one thousand donkeys;
وَمِنَ ٱلْحَمِيرِ وَاحِدًا وَسِتِّينَ أَلْفًا،٣٤
35 and of mankind—of the women who have not known the lying of a male—all the persons [are] thirty-two thousand.
وَمِنْ نُفُوسِ ٱلنَّاسِ مِنَ ٱلنِّسَاءِ ٱللَّوَاتِي لَمْ يَعْرِفْنَ مُضَاجَعَةَ ذَكَرٍ، جَمِيعِ ٱلنُّفُوسِ ٱثْنَيْنِ وَثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفًا.٣٥
36 And the half, the portion of those who go out into the war, is [in] number three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred of the flock.
وَكَانَ ٱلنِّصْفُ نَصِيبُ ٱلْخَارِجِينَ إِلَى ٱلْحَرْبِ: عَدَدُ ٱلْغَنَمِ ثَلَاثَ مِئَةٍ وَسَبْعَةً وَثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفًا وَخَمْسَ مِئَةٍ.٣٦
37 And the tribute to YHWH of the sheep is six hundred seventy-five;
وَكَانَتِ ٱلزَّكَاةُ لِلرَّبِّ مِنَ ٱلْغَنَمِ سِتَّ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسَةً وَسَبْعِينَ،٣٧
38 and the herd [is] thirty-six thousand, and their tribute to YHWH [is] seventy-two;
وَٱلْبَقَرُ سِتَّةً وَثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفًا، وَزَكَاتُهَا لِلرَّبِّ ٱثْنَيْنِ وَسَبْعِينَ،٣٨
39 and the donkeys [are] thirty thousand and five hundred, and their tribute to YHWH [is] sixty-one;
وَٱلْحَمِيرُ ثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفًا وَخَمْسَ مِئَةٍ، وَزَكَاتُهَا لِلرَّبِّ وَاحِدًا وَسِتِّينَ،٣٩
40 and of mankind [are] sixteen thousand, and their tribute to YHWH [is] thirty-two persons.
وَنُفُوسُ ٱلنَّاسِ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ أَلْفًا، وَزَكَاتُهَا لِلرَّبِّ ٱثْنَيْنِ وَثَلَاثِينَ نَفْسًا.٤٠
41 And Moses gives the tribute—YHWH’s raised-offering—to Eleazar the priest, as YHWH has commanded Moses.
فَأَعْطَى مُوسَى ٱلزَّكَاةَ رَفِيعَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ لِأَلِعَازَارَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ كَمَا أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى.٤١
42 And of the sons of Israel’s half, which Moses halved from the men who war—
وَأَمَّا نِصْفُ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِي قَسَمَهُ مُوسَى مِنَ ٱلرِّجَالِ ٱلْمُتَجَنِّدِينَ:٤٢
43 and the congregation’s half is three hundred thousand and thirty thousand [and] seven thousand and five hundred of the flock;
فَكَانَ نِصْفُ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ مِنَ ٱلْغَنَمِ ثَلَاثَ مِئَةٍ وَسَبْعَةً وَثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفًا وَخَمْسَ مِئَةٍ،٤٣
44 and thirty-six thousand of the herd;
وَمِنَ ٱلْبَقَرِ سِتَّةً وَثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفًا،٤٤
45 and thirty thousand and five hundred donkeys;
وَمِنَ ٱلْحَمِيرِ ثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفًا وَخَمْسَ مِئَةٍ،٤٥
46 and sixteen thousand of mankind—
وَمِنْ نُفُوسِ ٱلنَّاسِ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ أَلْفًا.٤٦
47 Moses takes from the sons of Israel’s half one possession from the fifty, of man and of beast, and gives them to the Levites keeping the charge of the Dwelling Place of YHWH, as YHWH has commanded Moses.
فَأَخَذَ مُوسَى مِنْ نِصْفِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلْمَأْخُوذِ وَاحِدًا مِنْ كُلِّ خَمْسِينَ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَمِنَ ٱلْبَهَائِمِ، وَأَعْطَاهَا لِلَّاوِيِّينَ ٱلْحَافِظِينَ شَعَائِرَ مَسْكَنِ ٱلرَّبِّ، كَمَا أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى.٤٧
48 And the inspectors whom the thousands of the host have (heads of the thousands and heads of the hundreds), draw near to Moses,
ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمَ إِلَى مُوسَى ٱلْوُكَلَاءُ ٱلَّذِينَ عَلَى أُلُوفِ ٱلْجُنْدِ، رُؤَسَاءُ ٱلْأُلُوفِ وَرُؤَسَاءُ ٱلْمِئَاتِ،٤٨
49 and they say to Moses, “Your servants have taken up the sum of the men of war who [are] with us, and not a man of us has been missed;
وَقَالُوا لِمُوسَى: «عَبِيدُكَ قَدْ أَخَذُوا عَدَدَ رِجَالِ ٱلْحَرْبِ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي أَيْدِينَا فَلَمْ يُفْقَدْ مِنَّا إِنْسَانٌ.٤٩
50 and we bring YHWH’s offering near, each of that which he has found of vessels of gold—chain, and bracelet, seal-ring, [ear]-ring, and bead—to make atonement for ourselves before YHWH.”
فَقَدْ قَدَّمْنَا قُرْبَانَ ٱلرَّبِّ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مَا وَجَدَهُ، أَمْتِعَةَ ذَهَبٍ: حُجُولًا وَأَسَاوِرَ وَخَوَاتِمَ وَأَقْرَاطًا وَقَلَائِدَ، لِلتَّكْفِيرِ عَنْ أَنْفُسِنَا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ».٥٠
51 And Moses receives—Eleazar the priest also—the gold from them, every vessel of workmanship;
فَأَخَذَ مُوسَى وَأَلِعَازَارُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ ٱلذَّهَبَ مِنْهُمْ، كُلَّ أَمْتِعَةٍ مَصْنُوعَةٍ.٥١
52 and all the gold of the raised-offering which they have lifted up to YHWH is sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels, from heads of the thousands and from heads of the hundreds;
وَكَانَ كُلُّ ذَهَبِ ٱلرَّفِيعَةِ ٱلَّتِي رَفَعُوهَا لِلرَّبِّ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ أَلْفًا وَسَبْعَ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسِينَ شَاقِلًا مِنْ عِنْدِ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْأُلُوفِ وَرُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْمِئَاتِ.٥٢
53 (the men of the host have each taken spoil for himself);
أَمَّا رِجَالُ ٱلْجُنْدِ فَٱغْتَنَمُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ لِنَفْسِهِ.٥٣
54 and Moses takes—Eleazar the priest also—the gold from the heads of the thousands and of the hundreds, and they bring it into the Tent of Meeting [as] a memorial for the sons of Israel before YHWH.
فَأَخَذَ مُوسَى وَأَلِعَازَارُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ ٱلذَّهَبَ مِنْ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْأُلُوفِ وَٱلْمِئَاتِ وَأَتَيَا بِهِ إِلَى خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ تَذْكَارًا لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ.٥٤
