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 to them, O that we had died in the land of Egypt! or if only we had died in this wilderness!
| وَتَذَمَّرَ عَلَى مُوسَى وَهَرُونَ، وَقَالُوا: «لَيْتَنَا مُتْنَا فِي دِيَارِ مِصْرَ، أَوْ لَيْتَنَا مُتْنَا فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ. | ٢ |
3 And why hath the LORD brought us to this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should 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, who were of them that searched the land, tore their clothes:
| وَمَزَّقَ يَشُوعُ بْنُ نُونَ وَكَالَبُ بْنُ يَفُنَّةَ ثِيَابَهُمَا، وَهُمَا مِمَّنْ تَجَسَّسُوا الأَرْضَ، | ٦ |
7 And they spoke to all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land.
| وَقَالا لِكُلِّ الشَّعْبِ: «إِنَّ الأَرْضَ الَّتِي اجْتَزْنَا فِيهَا هِيَ أَرْضُ خَيْرَاتٍ عَظِيمَةٍ جِدّاً. | ٧ |
8 If the LORD delighteth in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it to 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 ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence hast departed from 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 said to stone them with stones. And the glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before 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 to Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be before they believe me, for all the signs which I have shown 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 greater nation and mightier than they.
| سَأُبِيدُهُمْ بِالْوَبَأِ، وَأَجْعَلُكَ شَعْباً أَكْبَرَ وَأَعْظَمَ مِنْهُمْ». | ١٢ |
13 And Moses said to 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: for they have heard that thou LORD art among this people, that thou LORD art seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, 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 all 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 swore to 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 beseech thee, let the power of my LORD be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying,
| وَالآنَ لِتَتَعَظَّمْ قُدْرَةُ سَيِّدِي كَمَا نَطَقْتَ قَائِلاً: | ١٧ |
18 The LORD is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and 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 beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of thy mercy, and 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 as truly as I live, 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 who have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now 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 swore to their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked 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 into which 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 Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.) To morrow turn ye, and pass into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
| وَبِمَا أَنَّ الْعَمَالِقَةَ وَالْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ سَاكِنُونَ فِي الْوِدْيَانِ، فَارْجِعُوا غَداً إِلَى الصَّحْرَاءِ فِي اتِّجَاهِ الْبَحْرِ الأَحْمَرِ». | ٢٥ |
26 And the LORD spoke to Moses and to 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 to them, As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in my ears, so will I do to you:
| فَقُلْ لَهُمْ: حَيٌّ أَنَا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، لأُنْزِلَنَّ بِكُمْ كُلَّ مَا تَكَلَّمْتُمْ بِهِ فِي مَسْمَعِي. | ٢٨ |
29 Your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, who have murmured against me,
| إِذْ تَتَسَاقَطُ جُثَثُكُمْ فِي هَذِهِ الصَّحْرَاءِ، مِنِ ابْنِ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً فَمَا فَوْقُ مِمَّنْ تَمَّ إِحْصَاؤُهُمْ وَتَذَمَّرُوا عَلَيَّ. | ٢٩ |
30 Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I swore to make you dwell in it, except 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 despised.
| غَيْرَ أَنِّي سَأُدْخِلُ إِلَيْهَا أَوْلادَكُمُ الَّذِينَ ادَّعَيْتُمْ أَنَّهُمْ يُصْبِحُونَ أَسْرَى، فَيَتَمَتَّعُونَ بِالأَرْضِ الَّتِي احْتَقَرْتُمُوهَا. | ٣١ |
32 But as for you, your dead bodies, they shall fall in this wilderness.
| أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَإِنَّ جُثَثَكُمْ تَتَسَاقَطُ فِي هَذَا الْقَفْرِ، | ٣٢ |
33 And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your harlotries, until your dead bodies shall be wasted 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 searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.
| 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 said, I will surely do it to 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, whom Moses sent to search the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing a slander upon 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 brought the bad report upon 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, who were of the men that went to search the land, lived still.
| وَلَمْ يَعِشْ مِنْهُمْ إِلّا يَشُوعُ بْنُ نُونَ وَكَالَبُ بْنُ يَفُنَّةَ. | ٣٨ |
39 And Moses told these sayings to 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 early in the morning, and went up to the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we are here, and will go up to 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, Why now do ye transgress the commandment of the LORD? but 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 before your enemies.
| لَا تَنْطَلِقُوا لِئَلّا تَنْهَزِمُوا أَمَامَ أَعْدَائِكُمْ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ لَيْسَ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ، | ٤٢ |
43 For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away from 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 hill top: 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 Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites who dwelt in that hill, and smote them, and smote them, even to Hormah.
| فَانْقَضَّ عَلَيْهِمِ الْعَمَالِقَةُ وَالْكَنْعَانِيُّونَ الْمُقِيمُونَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْجَبَلِ، وَهَاجَمُوهُمْ وَتَعَقَّبُوهُمْ إِلَى «حُرْمَةَ». | ٤٥ |
