Numbers 9

1 The LORD spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying,

١ وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى فِي بَرِّيَّةِ سِينَاءَ، فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّانِيَةِ لِخُرُوجِهِمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ قَائِلًا:

2 “Let the children of Israel keep the Passover in its appointed season.

٢ «وَلْيَعْمَلْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلْفِصْحَ فِي وَقْتِهِ.

3 On the fourteenth day of this month, at evening, you shall keep it in its appointed season. You shall keep it according to all its statutes and according to all its ordinances.”

٣ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلرَّابِعَ عَشَرَ مِنْ هَذَا ٱلشَّهْرِ بَيْنَ ٱلْعَشَاءَيْنِ تَعْمَلُونَهُ فِي وَقْتِهِ. حَسَبَ كُلِّ فَرَائِضِهِ وَكُلِّ أَحْكَامِهِ تَعْمَلُونَهُ».

4 Moses told the children of Israel that they should keep the Passover.

٤ فَكَلَّمَ مُوسَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يَعْمَلُوا ٱلْفِصْحَ.

5 They kept the Passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, in the wilderness of Sinai. According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did.

٥ فَعَمِلُوا ٱلْفِصْحَ فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلرَّابِعَ عَشَرَ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ بَيْنَ ٱلْعَشَاءَيْنِ فِي بَرِّيَّةِ سِينَاءَ، حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى هَكَذَا فَعَلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ.

6 There were certain men who were unclean because of the dead body of a man, so that they could not keep the Passover on that day, and they came before Moses and Aaron on that day.

٦ لَكِنْ كَانَ قَوْمٌ قَدْ تَنَجَّسُوا لِإِنْسَانٍ مَيْتٍ، فَلَمْ يَحِلَّ لَهُمْ أَنْ يَعْمَلُوا ٱلْفِصْحَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ. فَتَقَدَّمُوا أَمَامَ مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ،

7 Those men said to him, “We are unclean because of the dead body of a man. Why are we kept back, that we may not offer the offering of the LORD in its appointed season amongst the children of Israel?”

٧ وَقَالَ لَهُ أُولَئِكَ ٱلنَّاسُ: «إِنَّنَا مُتَنَجِّسُونَ لِإِنْسَانٍ مَيِّتٍ. لِمَاذَا نُتْرَكُ حَتَّى لَا نُقَرِّبَ قُرْبَانَ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي وَقْتِهِ بَيْنَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ؟»

8 Moses answered them, “Wait, that I may hear what the LORD will command concerning you.”

٨ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ مُوسَى: «قِفُوا لِأَسْمَعَ مَا يَأْمُرُ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ جِهَتِكُمْ».

9 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

٩ فَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:

10 “Say to the children of Israel, ‘If any man of you or of your generations is unclean by reason of a dead body, or is on a journey far away, he shall still keep the Passover to the LORD.

١٠ «كَلِّمْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلًا: كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْكُمْ أَوْ مِنْ أَجْيَالِكُمْ كَانَ نَجِسًا لِمَيْتٍ، أَوْ فِي سَفَرٍ بَعِيدٍ، فَلْيَعْمَلِ ٱلْفِصْحَ لِلرَّبِّ.

11 In the second month, on the fourteenth day at evening they shall keep it; they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.

١١ فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلثَّانِي، فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلرَّابِعَ عَشَرَ بَيْنَ ٱلْعَشَاءَيْنِ يَعْمَلُونَهُ. عَلَى فَطِيرٍ وَمُرَارٍ يَأْكُلُونَهُ.

12 They shall leave none of it until the morning, nor break a bone of it. According to all the statute of the Passover they shall keep it.

١٢ لَا يُبْقُوا مِنْهُ إِلَى ٱلصَّبَاحِ وَلَا يَكْسِرُوا عَظْمًا مِنْهُ. حَسَبَ كُلِّ فَرَائِضِ ٱلْفِصْحِ يَعْمَلُونَهُ.

13 But the man who is clean, and is not on a journey, and fails to keep the Passover, that soul shall be cut off from his people. Because he didn’t offer the offering of the LORD in its appointed season, that man shall bear his sin.

١٣ لَكِنْ مَنْ كَانَ طَاهِرًا وَلَيْسَ فِي سَفَرٍ، وَتَرَكَ عَمَلَ ٱلْفِصْحِ، تُقْطَعُ تِلْكَ ٱلنَّفْسُ مِنْ شَعْبِهَا، لِأَنَّهَا لَمْ تُقَرِّبْ قُرْبَانَ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي وَقْتِهِ. ذَلِكَ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ يَحْمِلُ خَطِيَّتَهُ.

14 “‘If a foreigner lives amongst you and desires to keep the Passover to the LORD, then he shall do so according to the statute of the Passover, and according to its ordinance. You shall have one statute, both for the foreigner and for him who is born in the land.’”

١٤ وَإِذَا نَزَلَ عِنْدَكُمْ غَرِيبٌ فَلْيَعْمَلْ فِصْحًا لِلرَّبِّ. حَسَبَ فَرِيضَةِ ٱلْفِصْحِ وَحُكْمِهِ كَذَلِكَ يَعْمَلُ. فَرِيضَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ تَكُونُ لَكُمْ لِلْغَرِيبِ وَلِوَطَنِيِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ».

15 On the day that the tabernacle was raised up, the cloud covered the tabernacle, even the Tent of the Testimony. At evening it was over the tabernacle, as it were the appearance of fire, until morning.

١٥ وَفِي يَوْمِ إِقَامَةِ ٱلْمَسْكَنِ، غَطَّتِ ٱلسَّحَابَةُ ٱلْمَسْكَنَ، خَيْمَةَ ٱلشَّهَادَةِ. وَفِي ٱلْمَسَاءِ كَانَ عَلَى ٱلْمَسْكَنِ كَمَنْظَرِ نَارٍ إِلَى ٱلصَّبَاحِ.

16 So it was continually. The cloud covered it, and the appearance of fire by night.

١٦ هَكَذَا كَانَ دَائِمًا. ٱلسَّحَابَةُ تُغَطِّيهِ وَمَنْظَرُ ٱلنَّارِ لَيْلًا.

17 Whenever the cloud was taken up from over the Tent, then after that the children of Israel travelled; and in the place where the cloud remained, there the children of Israel encamped.

١٧ وَمَتَى ٱرْتَفَعَتِ ٱلسَّحَابَةُ عَنِ ٱلْخَيْمَةِ كَانَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ يَرْتَحِلُونَ، وَفِي ٱلْمَكَانِ حَيْثُ حَلَّتِ ٱلسَّحَابَةُ هُنَاكَ كَانَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ يَنْزِلُونَ.

18 At the commandment of the LORD, the children of Israel travelled, and at the commandment of the LORD they encamped. As long as the cloud remained on the tabernacle they remained encamped.

١٨ حَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ كَانَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ يَرْتَحِلُونَ، وَحَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ كَانُوا يَنْزِلُونَ. جَمِيعَ أَيَّامِ حُلُولِ ٱلسَّحَابَةِ عَلَى ٱلْمَسْكَنِ كَانُوا يَنْزِلُونَ.

19 When the cloud stayed on the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the LORD’s command, and didn’t travel.

١٩ وَإِذَا تَمَادَتِ ٱلسَّحَابَةُ عَلَى ٱلْمَسْكَنِ أَيَّامًا كَثِيرَةً كَانَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ يَحْرُسُونَ حِرَاسَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَلَا يَرْتَحِلُونَ.

20 Sometimes the cloud was a few days on the tabernacle; then according to the commandment of the LORD they remained encamped, and according to the commandment of the LORD they travelled.

٢٠ وَإِذَا كَانَتِ ٱلسَّحَابَةُ أَيَّامًا قَلِيلَةً عَلَى ٱلْمَسْكَنِ، فَحَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ كَانُوا يَنْزِلُونَ، وَحَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ كَانُوا يَرْتَحِلُونَ.

21 Sometimes the cloud was from evening until morning; and when the cloud was taken up in the morning, they travelled; or by day and by night, when the cloud was taken up, they travelled.

٢١ وَإِذَا كَانَتِ ٱلسَّحَابَةُ مِنَ ٱلْمَسَاءِ إِلَى ٱلصَّبَاحِ، ثُمَّ ٱرْتَفَعَتِ ٱلسَّحَابَةُ فِي ٱلصَّبَاحِ، كَانُوا يَرْتَحِلُونَ. أَوْ يَوْمًا وَلَيْلَةً ثُمَّ ٱرْتَفَعَتِ ٱلسَّحَابَةُ كَانُوا يَرْتَحِلُونَ.

22 Whether it was two days, or a month, or a year that the cloud stayed on the tabernacle, remaining on it, the children of Israel remained encamped, and didn’t travel; but when it was taken up, they travelled.

٢٢ أَوْ يَوْمَيْنِ أَوْ شَهْرًا أَوْ سَنَةً، مَتَى تَمَادَتِ ٱلسَّحَابَةُ عَلَى ٱلْمَسْكَنِ حَالَّةً عَلَيْهِ، كَانَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ يَنْزِلُونَ وَلَا يَرْتَحِلُونَ. وَمَتَى ٱرْتَفَعَتْ كَانُوا يَرْتَحِلُونَ.

23 At the commandment of the LORD they encamped, and at the commandment of the LORD they travelled. They kept the LORD’s command, at the commandment of the LORD by Moses.

٢٣ حَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ كَانُوا يَنْزِلُونَ، وَحَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ كَانُوا يَرْتَحِلُونَ. وَكَانُوا يَحْرُسُونَ حِرَاسَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ حَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ بِيَدِ مُوسَى.
