Numbers 14
1 And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.
| فَرَفَعَ الشَّعْبُ كُلُّهُ صَوْتَهُ وَبَكَى فِي تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ، | ١ |
2 And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness!
| وَتَذَمَّرَ عَلَى مُوسَى وَهَرُونَ، وَقَالُوا: «لَيْتَنَا مُتْنَا فِي دِيَارِ مِصْرَ، أَوْ لَيْتَنَا مُتْنَا فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ. | ٢ |
3 And wherefore doth the LORD bring us unto this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones shall be a prey: were it not better for us to return into Egypt?
| لِمَاذَا أَحْضَرَنَا الرَّبُّ إِلَى هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ لِنَهْلِكَ بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ، وَتُؤْخَذَ نِسَاؤُنَا وَأَطْفَالُنَا سَبَايَا؟ أَلَيْسَ مِنَ الأَفْضَلِ لَنَا أَنْ نَرْجِعَ إِلَى مِصْرَ؟» | ٣ |
4 And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.
| وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: «لِنَنْتَخِبْ لَنَا قَائِداً وَنَرْجِعْ إِلَى مِصْرَ». | ٤ |
5 Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.
| فَخَرَّ مُوسَى وَهَرُونُ عَلَى وَجْهَيْهِمَا أَمَامَ جَمِيعِ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، | ٥ |
6 And Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that spied out the land, rent their clothes:
| وَمَزَّقَ يَشُوعُ بْنُ نُونَ وَكَالَبُ بْنُ يَفُنَّةَ ثِيَابَهُمَا، وَهُمَا مِمَّنْ تَجَسَّسُوا الأَرْضَ، | ٦ |
7 and they spake unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceeding good land.
| وَقَالا لِكُلِّ الشَّعْبِ: «إِنَّ الأَرْضَ الَّتِي اجْتَزْنَا فِيهَا هِيَ أَرْضُ خَيْرَاتٍ عَظِيمَةٍ جِدّاً. | ٧ |
8 If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it unto us; a land which floweth with milk and honey.
| فَإِنْ رَضِيَ عَنَّا الرَّبُّ يُدْخِلْنَا إِلَيْهَا وَيَهَبْهَا لَنَا، أَرْضاً تَفِيضُ لَبَناً وَعَسَلاً. | ٨ |
9 Only rebel not against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is removed from over them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not.
| إِنَّمَا لَا تَتَمَرَّدُوا عَلَى الرَّبِّ وَلا تَجْزَعُوا مِنْ شَعْبِ الأَرْضِ، لأَنَّنَا سَنَبْتَلِعُهُمْ كَالْخُبْزِ، فَقَدْ تَلاشَى ظِلُّ الْحِمَايَةِ عَنْهُمْ، وَالرَّبُّ مَعَنَا فَلا تَرْهَبُوهُمْ». | ٩ |
10 But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And the glory of the LORD appeared in the tent of meeting unto all the children of Israel.
| وَلَكِنَّ الشَّعْبَ طَالَبَ بِرَجْمِهِمَا بِالْحِجَارَةِ. غَيْرَ أَنَّ مَجْدَ الرَّبِّ ظَهَرَ فِي خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ عَلَى مَرْأَىً مِنْهُمْ جَمِيعاً. | ١٠ |
11 And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this people despise me? and how long will they not believe in me, for all the signs which I have wrought among them?
| وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «إِلَى مَتَى يُمْعِنُ هَذَا الشَّعْبُ فِي إِهَانَتِي، وَإِلَى مَتَى لَا يُصَدِّقُونَنِي عَلَى الرَّغْمِ مِنْ مُعْجِزَاتِي الَّتِي أَجْرَيْتُهَا فِي وَسَطِهِمْ؟ | ١١ |
12 I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a nation greater and mightier than they.
| سَأُبِيدُهُمْ بِالْوَبَأِ، وَأَجْعَلُكَ شَعْباً أَكْبَرَ وَأَعْظَمَ مِنْهُمْ». | ١٢ |
13 And Moses said unto the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear it; for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them;
| فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِلرَّبِّ: «عِنْدَئِذٍ يَسْمَعُ الْمِصْرِيُّونَ، الَّذِينَ أَخْرَجْتَ هَذَا الشَّعْبَ مِنْ بَيْنِهِمْ بِقُدْرَتِكَ، بِهَذَا | ١٣ |
14 and they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: they have heard that thou LORD art in the midst of this people; for thou LORD art seen face to face, and thy cloud standeth over them, and thou goest before them, in a pillar of cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night.
| وَيُخْبِرُونَ بِهِ أَهْلَ هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ، الَّذِينَ قَدْ سَمِعُوا يَا رَبُّ أَنَّكَ قَائِمٌ فِي وَسَطِ هَذَا الشَّعْبِ، وَأَنَّكَ قَدْ ظَهَرْتَ لَهُمْ وَجْهاً لِوَجْهٍ تُظَلِّلُهُمْ بِحِمَايَتِكَ، وَتَسِيرُ أَمَامَهُمْ فِي عَمُودِ سَحَابٍ نَهَاراً وَفِي عَمُودِ نَارٍ لَيْلاً. | ١٤ |
15 Now if thou shalt kill this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying,
| فَإِنْ أَهْلَكْتَ هَذَا الشَّعْبَ دَفْعَةً وَاحِدَةً، فَإِنَّ الأُمَمَ الَّتِي سَمِعَتْ بِخَبَرِكَ تَقُولُ | ١٥ |
16 Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which he sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness.
| إِنَّكَ قَدْ عَجَزْتَ عَنْ أَنْ تُدْخِلَ هَذَا الشَّعْبَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي وَعَدْتَهُمْ بِها، فَأَهْلَكْتَهُمْ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ. | ١٦ |
17 And now, I pray thee, let the power of the Lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying,
| وَالآنَ لِتَتَعَظَّمْ قُدْرَةُ سَيِّدِي كَمَا نَطَقْتَ قَائِلاً: | ١٧ |
18 The LORD is slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and that will by no means clear [the guilty]; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon the third and upon the fourth generation.
| الرَّبُّ طَوِيلُ الأَنَاةِ، وَافِرُ الرَّحْمَةِ، يَغْفِرُ الذَّنْبَ وَالسَّيِّئَةَ. لَكِنَّهُ لَا يُبْرِئُ، بَلْ يَفْتَقِدُ ذَنْبَ الآبَاءِ فِي الأَبْنَاءِ إِلَى الْجِيلِ الثَّالِثِ وَالرَّابِعِ. | ١٨ |
19 Pardon, I pray thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of thy mercy, and according as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.
| فَاصْفَحْ عَنْ ذَنْبِ هَذَا الشَّعْبِ بِحَسَبِ نِعْمَتِكَ، وَاغْفِرْ لَهُ كَمَا غَفَرْتَ ذُنُوبَهُ مِنْ مِصْرَ إِلَى هَهُنَا». | ١٩ |
20 And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy word:
| فَأَجَابَ الرَّبُّ: «قَدْ صَفَحْتُ بِحَسَبِ قَوْلِكَ. | ٢٠ |
21 but in very deed, as I live, and as all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD;
| وَلَكِنْ كَمَا أَنَا حَقّاً حَيٌّ، وَكَمَا أَنَّ مَجْدَ الرَّبِّ حَقّاً يَمْلأُ الأَرْضَ، | ٢١ |
22 because all those men which have seen my glory, and my signs, which I wrought in Egypt and in the wilderness, yet have tempted me these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;
| فَإِنَّ جَمِيعَ الرِّجَالِ الَّذِينَ عَايَنُوا مَجْدِي وَمُعْجِزَاتِي الَّتِي أَجْرَيْتُهَا فِي مِصْرَ وَفِي الصَّحْرَاءِ، وَجَرَّبُونِي عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يُطِيعُوا قَوْلِي، | ٢٢ |
23 surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that despised me see it:
| لَنْ يَرَوْا الأَرْضَ الَّتِي وَعَدْتُ بِها آبَاءَهُمْ. جَمِيعُ الَّذِينَ اسْتَخَفُّوا بِي، لَنْ يُشَاهِدُوهَا. | ٢٣ |
24 but my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.
| وَلَكِنْ لأَنَّ فِي عَبْدِي كَالَبَ رُوحاً مُخْتَلِفَةً، وَقَدْ تَبِعَنِي بِكُلِّ قَلْبِهِ، فَسَأُدْخِلُهُ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي ذَهَبَ إِلَيْهَا، وَسَيَرِثُهَا نَسْلُهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ. | ٢٤ |
25 Now the Amalekite and the Canaanite dwell in the valley: tomorrow turn ye, and get you into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea.
| وَبِمَا أَنَّ الْعَمَالِقَةَ وَالْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ سَاكِنُونَ فِي الْوِدْيَانِ، فَارْجِعُوا غَداً إِلَى الصَّحْرَاءِ فِي اتِّجَاهِ الْبَحْرِ الأَحْمَرِ». | ٢٥ |
26 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
| قَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى وَهَرُونَ: | ٢٦ |
27 How long [shall I bear] with this evil congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.
| «إِلَى مَتَى أَصْفَحُ عَنْ هَذِهِ الْجَمَاعَةِ الشِّرِّيرَةِ الْمُتَذَمِّرَةِ عَلَيَّ؟ لَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ تَذَمُّرَهُمْ عَلَيَّ، | ٢٧ |
28 Say unto them, As I live, saith the LORD, surely as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:
| فَقُلْ لَهُمْ: حَيٌّ أَنَا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، لأُنْزِلَنَّ بِكُمْ كُلَّ مَا تَكَلَّمْتُمْ بِهِ فِي مَسْمَعِي. | ٢٨ |
29 your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, which have murmured against me,
| إِذْ تَتَسَاقَطُ جُثَثُكُمْ فِي هَذِهِ الصَّحْرَاءِ، مِنِ ابْنِ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً فَمَا فَوْقُ مِمَّنْ تَمَّ إِحْصَاؤُهُمْ وَتَذَمَّرُوا عَلَيَّ. | ٢٩ |
30 surely ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I lifted up my hand that I would make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
| لَنْ تَدْخُلُوا الأَرْضَ الَّتِي وَعَدْتُ رَافِعاً يَدِي بِقَسَمٍ أَنْ أُسْكِنَكُمْ فِيهَا، مَاعَدَا كَالَبَ بنَ يَفُنَّةَ وَيَشُوعَ بْنَ نُونَ. | ٣٠ |
31 But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have rejected.
| غَيْرَ أَنِّي سَأُدْخِلُ إِلَيْهَا أَوْلادَكُمُ الَّذِينَ ادَّعَيْتُمْ أَنَّهُمْ يُصْبِحُونَ أَسْرَى، فَيَتَمَتَّعُونَ بِالأَرْضِ الَّتِي احْتَقَرْتُمُوهَا. | ٣١ |
32 But as for you, your carcases shall fall in this wilderness.
| أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَإِنَّ جُثَثَكُمْ تَتَسَاقَطُ فِي هَذَا الْقَفْرِ، | ٣٢ |
33 And your children shall be wanderers in the wilderness forty years, and shall bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be consumed in the wilderness.
| وَيَبْقَى بَنُوكُمْ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً، تُعَانُونَ مِنْ فُجُورِكُمْ، حَتَّى تَبْلَى جُثَثُكُمْ فِيهَا. | ٣٣ |
34 After the number of the days in which ye spied out the land, even forty days, for every day a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my alienation.
| وَتَحْمِلُونَ أَوْزَارَكُمْ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً. كُلُّ يَوْمٍ بِسَنَةٍ، عَلَى عَدَدِ الأَيَّامِ الأَرْبَعِينَ الَّتِي تَجَسَّسْتُمْ فِيهَا الأَرْضَ، فَتُدْرِكُونَ عَاقِبَةَ ابْتِعَادِي عَنْكُمْ. | ٣٤ |
35 I the LORD have spoken, surely this will I do unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.
| أَنَا الرَّبُّ قَدْ تَكَلَّمْتُ، وَهَذَا مَا سَأُعَاقِبُ بِهِ هَذِهِ الْجَمَاعَةَ الشِّرِّيرَةَ الْمُتَآمِرَةَ عَلَيَّ: فِي هَذِهِ الصَّحْرَاءِ يَفْنَوْنَ وَيَمُوتُونَ». | ٣٥ |
36 And the men, which Moses sent to spy out the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up an evil report against the land,
| أَمَّا الْجَوَاسِيسُ الَّذِينَ أَرْسَلَهُمْ مُوسَى لاِسْتِكْشَافِ الأَرْضِ، فَرَجَعُوا فَأَثَارُوا عَلَيْهِ الشَّعْبَ بِمَا رَوَّجُوهُ مِنْ أَخْبَارٍ سَيِّئَةٍ عَنِ الأَرْضِ، | ٣٦ |
37 even those men that did bring up an evil report of the land, died by the plague before the LORD.
| فَقَدْ أَمَاتَهُمُ الرَّبُّ بِالْوَبَأِ عِقَاباً لَهُمْ | ٣٧ |
38 But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, remained alive of those men that went to spy out the land.
| وَلَمْ يَعِشْ مِنْهُمْ إِلّا يَشُوعُ بْنُ نُونَ وَكَالَبُ بْنُ يَفُنَّةَ. | ٣٨ |
39 And Moses told these words unto all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly.
| وَلَمَا أَبْلَغَ مُوسَى هَذَا الْكَلامَ إِلَى جَمِيعِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بَكَوْا بُكَاءً شَدِيداً. | ٣٩ |
40 And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up to the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we be here, and will go up unto the place which the LORD hath promised: for we have sinned.
| وَفِي الصَّبَاحِ الْبَاكِرِ صَعِدُوا إِلَى رَأْسِ الْجَبَلِ قَائِلِينَ: «هَا نَحْنُ قَدْ أَخْطَأْنَا، فَلْنَمْضِ إِلَى الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي وَعَدَنَا بِهِ الرَّبُّ». | ٤٠ |
41 And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of the LORD, seeing it shall not prosper?
| فَقَالَ مُوسَى: «لِمَاذَا تَعْصَوْنَ أَمْرَ الرَّبِّ؟ إِنَّ عَمَلَكُمْ هَذَا لَنْ يُفْلِحَ. | ٤١ |
42 Go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that ye be not smitten down before your enemies.
| لَا تَنْطَلِقُوا لِئَلّا تَنْهَزِمُوا أَمَامَ أَعْدَائِكُمْ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ لَيْسَ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ، | ٤٢ |
43 For there the Amalekite and the Canaanite are before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned back from following the LORD, therefore the LORD will not be with you.
| فَالْعَمَالِقَةُ وَالْكَنْعَانِيُّونَ مُتَرَبِّصُونَ بِكُمْ هُنَاكَ فَتَهْلِكُونَ بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ، لأَنَّكُمْ قَدِ ارْتَدَدْتُمْ عَنِ الرَّبِّ وَلَنْ يَكُونَ الرَّبُّ مَعَكُمْ». | ٤٣ |
44 But they presumed to go up to the top of the mountain: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and Moses, departed not out of the camp.
| لَكِنَّهُمْ، فِي غَطْرَسَتِهِمْ، ارْتَقَوْا إِلَى قِمَّةِ الْجَبَلِ، غَيْرَ أَنَّ تَابُوتَ عَهْدِ الرَّبِّ وَمُوسَى لَمْ يَبْرَحَا مِنْ وَسَطِ الْمُخَيَّمِ. | ٤٤ |
45 Then the Amalekite came down, and the Canaanite which dwelt in that mountain, and smote them and beat them down, even unto Hormah.
| فَانْقَضَّ عَلَيْهِمِ الْعَمَالِقَةُ وَالْكَنْعَانِيُّونَ الْمُقِيمُونَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْجَبَلِ، وَهَاجَمُوهُمْ وَتَعَقَّبُوهُمْ إِلَى «حُرْمَةَ». | ٤٥ |
