Numbers 17
1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
| وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: | ١ |
2 Speak to the children of Israel, and take of every one of them a rod according to the house of [their] fathers, of all their princes according to the house of their fathers, twelve rods: write thou 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 one rod [shall be] for the head of the house of their fathers.
| وَاحْفُرِ اسْمَ هَرُونَ عَلَى عَصَا لاوِي، لأَنَّ لِرَئِيسِ بَيْتِ آبَائِهِمْ عَصاً وَاحِدَةً. | ٣ |
4 And thou shalt lay them in the tabernacle of the congregation before the testimony, where I will meet with you.
| وَضَعِ الْعِصِيَّ فِي خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ أَمَامَ الشَّهَادَةِ حَيْثُ أَجْتَمِعُ بِكُمْ. | ٤ |
5 And it shall come to pass, [that] the man's rod, whom I shall choose, shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, by which they murmur against you.
| فَالرَّجُلُ الَّذِي أَخْتَارُهُ تُوْرِقُ عَصَاهُ، وَبِذَلِكَ أَضَعُ حَدّاً لِتَذَمُّرَاتِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّتِي تَرْتَفِعُ ضِدَّكُمَا». | ٥ |
6 And Moses spoke to the children of Israel, and every one of their princes gave him a rod apiece, 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 the rods before the LORD in the tabernacle of witness.
| فَوَضَعَ مُوسَى الْعِصِيَّ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ فِي خَيْمَةِ الشَّهَادَةِ. | ٧ |
8 And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into the tabernacle of witness; and behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi had budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded 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 to 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 to Moses, Bring Aaron's rod again, before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; and thou shalt quite take away their murmurings from 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 And Moses did [so]: as the LORD commanded him, so did he.
| فَفَعَلَ مُوسَى بِمُقْتَضَى أَمْرِ الرَّبِّ. | ١١ |
12 And the children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, Behold, we die, we perish, we all perish.
| وَقَالَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ لِمُوسَى: «إِنَّنَا انْقَرَضْنَا وَهَلَكْنَا جَمِيعاً، | ١٢ |
13 Whoever approacheth the tabernacle of the LORD shall die: shall we be consumed with dying?
| لأَنَّ كُلَّ مَنِ اقْتَرَبَ إِلَى مَسْكَنِ الرَّبِّ يَمُوتُ. تُرَى أَنَفْنَى كُلُّنَا؟» | ١٣ |
