Numbers 21
1 When the Canaanite king of Arad who lived in the Negev heard that Israel came by the way of Atharim, then he fought against Israel, and took some of them captive.
| وَعِنْدَمَا سَمِعَ مَلِكُ عَرَادَ الْكَنْعَانِيُّ، الْمُسْتَوْطِنُ فِي النَّقَبِ، أَنَّ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ قَادِمُونَ عَلَى طَرِيقِ أَتَارِيمَ، حَارَبَهُمْ وَأَسَرَ عَدَداً مِنْهُمْ. | ١ |
2 Israel vowed a vow to the LORD, and said, "If you will indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities."
| فَنَذَرَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ لِلرَّبِّ نَذْراً قَائِلِينَ: «إِنْ أَظْفَرْتَنَا بِهَؤُلاءِ الْقَوْمِ، لَنُحَرِّمَنَّ مُدُنَهُمْ». | ٢ |
3 The LORD listened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities: and the name of the place was called Hormah.
| فَاسْتَجَابَ الرَّبُّ لَهُمْ، وَأَظْفَرَهُمْ بِالْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ، فَحَرَّمُوهُمْ وَمُدُنَهُمْ، فَدُعِيَ اسْمُ الْمَكَانِ «حُرْمَةَ». | ٣ |
4 They traveled from Mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way.
| وَارْتَحَلُوا مِنْ جَبَلِ هُورٍ عَنْ طَرِيقِ الْبَحْرِ الأَحْمَرِ لِيَدُورُوا حَوْلَ أَرْضِ أَدُومَ فَأَعْيَتْ نَفْسُ الشَّعْبِ فِي الطَّرِيقِ، | ٤ |
5 The people spoke against God, and against Moses, "Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no bread, and there is no water; and our soul loathes this light bread."
| وَتَذَمَّرُوا عَلَى اللهِ وَعَلَى مُوسَى قَائِلِينَ: «لِمَاذَا أَخْرَجْتُمَانَا مِنْ مِصْرَ لِنَمُوتَ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ، حَيْثُ لَا خُبْزَ وَلا مَاءَ؟ وَقَدْ عَافَتْ أَنْفُسُنَا الطَّعَامَ التَّافِهَ». | ٥ |
6 The LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and many people of Israel died.
| فَأَطْلَقَ الرَّبُّ عَلَى الشَّعْبِ الْحَيَّاتِ السَّامَّةَ، فَلَدَغَتِ الشَّعْبَ، فَمَاتَ مِنْهُمْ قَوْمٌ كَثِيرُونَ. | ٦ |
7 The people came to Moses, and said, "We have sinned, because we have spoken against the LORD, and against you. Pray to the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us." Moses prayed for the people.
| فَجَاءَ الشَّعْبُ إِلَى مُوسَى قَائِليِنَ: «لَقَدْ أَخْطَأْنَا إِذْ تَذَمَّرْنَا عَلَى الرَّبِّ وَعَلَيْكَ، فَابْتَهِلْ إِلَى الرَّبِّ لِيُخَلِّصَنَا مِنَ الْحَيَّاتِ». فَصَلَّى مُوسَى مِنْ أَجْلِ الشَّعْبِ، | ٧ |
8 The LORD said to Moses, "Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a standard: and it shall happen, that everyone who is bitten, when he sees it, shall live."
| فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «اصْنَعْ لَكَ حَيَّةً سَامَّةً وَارْفَعْهَا عَلَى عَمُودٍ، لِكَيْ يَلْتَفِتَ إِلَيْهَا كُلُّ مَنْ تَلْدَغُهُ حَيَّةٌ، فَيَحْيَا» | ٨ |
9 Moses made a serpent of bronze, and set it on the standard: and it happened, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked to the serpent of bronze, he lived.
| فَصَنَعَ مُوسَى حَيَّةً مِنْ نُحَاسٍ وَأَقَامَهَا عَلَى عَمُودٍ، فَكَانَ كُلُّ مَنْ لَدَغَتْهُ حَيَّةٌ، يَلْتَفِتُ إِلَى حَيَّةِ النُّحَاسِ وَيَحْيَا. | ٩ |
10 The children of Israel traveled, and camped in Oboth.
| ثُمَّ انْتَقَلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ وَنَزَلُوا فِي أُوبُوتَ، | ١٠ |
11 They traveled from Oboth, and camped at Iyeabarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrise.
| وَمِنْهَا ارْتَحَلُوا وَحَلُّوا فِي عَيِيِّ عَبَارِيمَ، فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ الْمُقَابِلَةِ لِمُوآبَ فِي اتِّجَاهِ الشَّرْقِ. | ١١ |
12 From there they traveled, and camped in the Valley of Zered.
| ثُمَّ ارْتَحَلُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ وَنَزَلُوا فِي وَادِي زَارَدَ، | ١٢ |
13 From there they traveled, and camped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness, that comes out of the border of the Amorites: for the Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
| 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 |
14 Therefore it is said in the Book of the Wars of the LORD, "Waheb in Suphah, the valleys of the Arnon,
| لِذَلِكَ وَرَدَ فِي كِتَابِ حُرُوبِ الرَّبِّ: «مَدِينَةُ وَاهِبٍ فِي مِنْطَقَةِ سُوفَةَ، وَأَوْدِيَةِ نَهْرِ أَرْنُونَ، | ١٤ |
15 the slope of the valleys that incline toward the dwelling of Ar, leans on the border of Moab."
| وَمَصَبِّ الأَوْدِيَةِ الْمُمْتَدِّ نَحْوَ مَدِينَةِ عَارَ، وَالْمُسْتَنِدِ إِلَى حُدُودِ مُوآبَ». | ١٥ |
16 From there they traveled to Beer: that is the well of which the LORD said to Moses, "Gather the people together, and I will give them water."
| وَمِنْ هُنَاكَ مَضَوْا نَحْوَ بِئْرٍ، وَهِيَ الْبِئْرُ الَّتِي قَالَ الرَّبُّ عِنْدَهَا لِمُوسَى: «اجْمَعِ الشَّعْبَ لأُعْطِيَهُمْ مَاءً» | ١٦ |
17 Then sang Israel this song: "Spring up, well; sing to it:
| حِينَئِذٍ شَدَا الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ بِهَذَا النَّشِيدِ: «ارْتَفِعْ يَا مَاءَ الْبِئْرِ! | ١٧ |
18 the well, which the princes dug, which the nobles of the people dug, with the scepter, and with their staffs." From the wilderness they traveled to Mattanah;
| تَغَنَّوْا بِها، تَغَنَّوْا بِالْبِئْرِ الَّتِي حَفَرَهَا رُؤَسَاءُ. حَفَرَهَا شُرَفَاءُ الشَّعْبِ بِالصَّوْلَجَانِ وَالْعِصِيِّ». ثُمَّ انْتَقَلُوا مِنَ الصَّحْرَاءِ إِلَى مَتَّانَةَ. | ١٨ |
19 and from Mattanah to Nahaliel; and from Nahaliel to Bamoth;
| وَمِنْ مَتَّانَةَ إِلَى نَحْلِيئِيلَ وَمِنْ نَحْلِيئِيلَ إِلَى بَامُوتَ. | ١٩ |
20 and from Bamoth to the valley that is in the field of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looks down on the desert.
| وَمِنْ بَامُوتَ إِلَى الْجِوَاءِ الَّتِي فِي صَحْرَاءِ مُوآبَ عِنْدَ قِمَّةِ الْفِسْجَةِ الْمُشْرِفَةِ عَلَى امْتِدَادِ الصَّحْرَاءِ. | ٢٠ |
21 Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
| وَبَعَثَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ رُسُلاً إِلَى سِيحُونَ مَلِكِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ قَائِلِينَ: | ٢١ |
22 "Let me pass through your land: we will not turn aside into field, or into vineyard; we will not drink of the water of the wells: we will go by the king's highway, until we have passed your border."
| «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 |
23 Sihon would not allow Israel to pass through his border: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel into the wilderness, and came to Jahaz; and he fought against Israel.
| فَلَمْ يَأْذَنْ سِيحُونُ لِلإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ بِالْمُرُورِ فِي تُخُومِهِ، بَلْ حَشَدَ جَيْشَهُ وَخَرَجَ لِلِقَائِهِمْ إِلَى الصَّحْرَاءِ، وَحَارَبَهُمْ عِنْدَ يَاهَصَ، | ٢٣ |
24 Israel struck him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, even to the people of Ammon; for the border of the people of Ammon was strong.
| فَهَزَمَهُ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ، وَاسْتَوْلَوْا عَلَى بِلادِهِ مِنْ أَرْنُونَ إِلَى يَبُّوقَ حَتَّى حُدُودِ الْعَمُّونِيِّينَ وَلَمْ يَتَجَاوَزُوهَا لِمَنَاعَتِهَا. | ٢٤ |
25 Israel took all these cities: and Israel lived in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all its towns.
| وَامْتَلَكَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ كُلَّ مُدُنِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ، وَمِنْ جُمْلَتِهَا حَشْبُونُ وَضَوَاحِيهَا وَأَقَامُوا فِيهَا، | ٢٥ |
26 For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand, even to the Arnon.
| لأَنَّ حَشْبُونَ كَانَتْ عَاصِمَةَ سِيحُونَ مَلِكِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ الَّذِي كَانَ قَدْ حَارَبَ مَلِكَ مُوآبَ السَّابِقَ وَاسْتَوْلَى عَلَى أَرَاضِيهِ كُلِّهَا حَتَّى أَرْنُونَ. | ٢٦ |
27 Therefore those who speak in proverbs say, "Come to Heshbon. Let the city of Sihon be built and established;
| لِهَذَا يَقُولُ الشُّعَرَاءُ: «هَيَّا إِلَى حَشْبُونَ فَتُبْنَى، وَتُشَيَّدُ مَدِينَةُ سِيحُونَ. | ٢٧ |
28 for a fire has gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon. It has devoured Ar of Moab, swallowed up the high places of the Arnon.
| فَقَدِ انْدَلَعَتْ نَارٌ مِنْ حَشْبُونَ، لَهِيبٌ مِنْ مَدِينَةِ سِيحُونَ، فَالْتَهَمَتْ عَارَ مُوآبَ، وَأَهْلَكَتْ أَهْلَ مُرْتَفَعَاتِ أَرْنُونَ. | ٢٨ |
29 Woe to you, Moab. You are undone, people of Chemosh. He has given his sons as fugitives, and his daughters into captivity, to Sihon king of the Amorites.
| وَيْلٌ لَكَ يَا مُوآبُ. هَلَكْتِ يَا أُمَّةَ كَمُوشَ. قَدْ هَرَبَ أَبْنَاؤُهُ وَأَصْبَحَتْ بَنَاتُهُ سَبَايَا سِيحُونَ مَلِكِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ. | ٢٩ |
30 And we shot at them. Heshbon has perished as far as Dibon. And we have laid waste as far as Nophah, which reaches to Medeba."
| لَكِنْ قَدْ طَوَّحْنَا بِهِمْ. هَلَكَتْ حَشْبُونُ إِلَى دِيبُونَ، دَمَّرْنَا الْبِلادَ حَتَّى نُوفَحَ الَّتِي تَمْتَدُّ إِلَى مِيدَبَا». | ٣٠ |
31 Thus Israel lived in the land of the Amorites.
| فَأَقَامَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ فِي بِلادِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ. | ٣١ |
32 Moses sent to spy out Jazer; and they took its towns, and drove out the Amorites who were there.
| وَأَرْسَلَ مُوسَى لِيَسْتَكْشِفَ مِنْطَقَةَ يَعَزِيرَ، وَمَا لَبِثَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنِ اسْتَوْلَوْا عَلَى قُرَاهَا وَطَرَدُوا مِنْهَا الأَمُورِيِّينَ، | ٣٢ |
33 They turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.
| ثُمَّ اتَّجَهُوا نَحْوَ طَرِيقِ بَاشَانَ. فَهَبَّ عُوجُ مَلِكُ بَاشَانَ مَعَ جَمِيعِ قَوْمِهِ لِلِقَائِهِمْ فِي إِذْرَعِي وَمُحَارَبَتِهِمْ. | ٣٣ |
34 The LORD said to Moses, "Do not fear him: for I have delivered him into your hand, and all his people, and his land; and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon."
| فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «لا تَخَفْ مِنْهُ لأَنَّنِي قَدْ دَفَعْتُهُ لِيَدِكَ مَعَ جَمِيعِ قَوْمِهِ وَأَرْضِهِ، فَتَفْعَلُ بِهِ مَا فَعَلْتَهُ بِسِيحُونَ مَلِكِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ فِي حَشْبُونَ». | ٣٤ |
35 So they struck him, and his sons and all his people, until there was none left him remaining: and they possessed his land.
| فَقَضَوْا عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى أَبْنَائِهِ وَقَوْمِهِ حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْهُمْ حَيٌّ، وَامْتَلَكُوا دِيَارَهُ. | ٣٥ |
