Numbers 11
1 The people were complaining in the ears of the LORD. When the LORD heard it, his anger burnt; and the LORD’s fire burnt amongst them, and consumed some of the outskirts of the camp.
| وَرَاحَ الشَّعْبُ يَتَذَمَّرُ فِي مَسْمَعِ الرَّبِّ وَكَأَنَّ شَرّاً أَصَابَهُمْ، فَاحْتَدَمَ غَضَبُ الرَّبِّ عَلَيْهِمْ، وَانْدَلَعَتْ فِيهِمْ نَارُهُ وَأَحْرَقَتْ طَرَفَ الْمُخَيَّمِ، | ١ |
2 The people cried to Moses; and Moses prayed to the LORD, and the fire abated.
| فَصَرَخُوا إِلَى مُوسَى، فَصَلَّى مُوسَى إِلَى الرَّبِّ فَخَمِدَتِ النَّارُ، | ٢ |
3 The name of that place was called Taberah, because the LORD’s fire burnt amongst them.
| فَدُعِيَ ذَلِكَ الْمَكَانُ «تَبْعِيرَةَ» (وَمَعْنَاهُ: اشْتِعَالٌ) لأَنَّ نَارَ الرَّبِّ اشْتَعَلَتْ فِيهِمْ. | ٣ |
4 The mixed multitude that was amongst them lusted exceedingly; and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, “Who will give us meat to eat?
| وَاشْتَهَى أَخْلاطُ الأُمَمِ الْمُقِيمُونَ بَيْنَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، مِمَّنْ خَرَجُوا مَعَهُمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ، طَعَامَ مِصْرَ، فَعَادَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ يَبْكُونَ قَائِلِينَ: «مَنْ يُطْعِمُنَا لَحْماً؟ | ٤ |
5 We remember the fish, which we ate in Egypt for nothing; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic;
| لَقَدْ تَذَكَّرْنَا سَمَكَ مِصْرَ الَّذِي كُنَّا نَأْكُلُهُ مَجَّاناً، وَالقِثَّاءَ وَالْبَطِّيخَ وَالْكُرَّاتَ وَالْبَصَلَ وَالثُّومَ، | ٥ |
6 but now we have lost our appetite. There is nothing at all except this manna to look at.”
| أَمَّا الآنَ فَقَدْ فَقَدْنَا شَهِيَّتَنَا وَهُزِلْنَا، وَلَيْسَ أَمَامَ أَعْيُنِنَا سِوَى هَذَا الْمَنِّ». | ٦ |
7 The manna was like coriander seed, and it looked like bdellium.
| وَكَانَ الْمَنُّ فِي حَجْمِ بُذُورِ الْكُزْبَرَةِ، وَشَكْلُهُ مُمَاثِلاً لِلْمُقْلِ. | ٧ |
8 The people went around, gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in mortars, and boiled it in pots, and made cakes of it. Its taste was like the taste of fresh oil.
| وَكَانَ الشَّعْبُ يَطُوفُونَ لِيَجْمَعُوهُ ثُمَّ يَطْحَنُونَهُ بِالرَّحَى أَوْ يَدُقُّونَهُ فِي الْهَاوَنِ وَيَطْبُخُونَهُ فِي الْقُدُورِ أَوْ يَخْبِزُونَهُ عَلَى حِجَارَةٍ مُحَمَّاةٍ. وَكَانَ طَعْمُهُ كَطَعْمِ قَطَائِفَ بِزَيْتٍ. | ٨ |
9 When the dew fell on the camp in the night, the manna fell on it.
| وَكَانَ الْمَنُّ يَنْزِلُ بِنُزُولِ النَّدَى عَلَى الْمُخَيَّمِ فِي أَثْنَاءِ اللَّيْلِ. | ٩ |
10 Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, every man at the door of his tent; and the LORD’s anger burnt greatly; and Moses was displeased.
| فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ مُوسَى بُكَاءَ جَمِيعِ أَفْرَادِ الشَّعْبِ، كُلٍّ أَمَامَ بَابِ خَيْمَتِهِ، وَرَأَى احْتِدَامَ غَضَبِ الرَّبِّ الشَّدِيدِ اعْتَرَاهُ الاسْتِيَاءُ. | ١٠ |
11 Moses said to the LORD, “Why have you treated your servant so badly? Why haven’t I found favour in your sight, that you lay the burden of all this people on me?
| فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِلرَّبِّ: «لَمَاذَا أَسَأْتَ إِلَى عَبْدِكَ وَلَمْ تَرْضَ عَنْهُ حَتَّى إِنَّكَ حَمَّلْتَهُ مَسْؤولِيَّةَ هَذَا الشَّعْبِ؟ | ١١ |
12 Have I conceived all this people? Have I brought them out, that you should tell me, ‘Carry them in your bosom, as a nurse carries a nursing infant, to the land which you swore to their fathers’?
| أَلَعَلِّي حَبِلْتُ بِهِ أَوْ وَلَدْتُهُ، حَتَّى تَقُولَ لِي احْمِلْهُ فِي حِضْنِكَ كَمَا يَحْمِلُ الْمُرَبِّي الرَّضِيعَ، وَقُدْهُ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي وَعَدْتَ بِها آبَاءَهُ. | ١٢ |
13 Where could I get meat to give all these people? For they weep before me, saying, ‘Give us meat, that we may eat.’
| مِنْ أَيْنَ أَجِيءُ بِلَحْمٍ يَكْفِي جَمِيعَ هَذَا الشَّعْبِ؟ فَإِنَّهُمْ يَبْكُونَ إِلَيَّ قَائِلِينَ: أَعْطِنَا لَحْماً لِنَأْكُلَ. | ١٣ |
14 I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.
| إِنَّنِي عَاجِزٌ عَنْ حَمْلِ عِبْءِ هَذَا الشَّعْبِ وَحْدِي لأَنَّهُ ثَقِيلٌ عَلَيَّ. | ١٤ |
15 If you treat me this way, please kill me right now, if I have found favour in your sight; and don’t let me see my wretchedness.”
| إِنْ كُنْتَ سَتُعَامِلُنِي هَكَذَا، فَاقْتُلْنِي، إِنْ حَظِيتُ بِرِضَاكَ، فَلا أَشْهَدُ بَلِيَّتِي». | ١٥ |
16 The LORD said to Moses, “Gather to me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people and officers over them; and bring them to the Tent of Meeting, that they may stand there with you.
| فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «اجْمَعْ إِلَيَّ سَبْعِينَ رَجُلاً مِنَ رُؤَسَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِمَّنْ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُمْ حَقّاً شُيُوخُ الشَّعْبِ وَعُرَفَاؤُهُ، وَأَقْبِلْ بِهِمْ إِلَى خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ لِيَمْثُلُوا مَعَكَ هُنَاكَ. | ١٦ |
17 I will come down and talk with you there. I will take of the Spirit which is on you, and will put it on them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, that you don’t bear it yourself alone.
| فَأَنْزِلَ وَأُخَاطِبَكَ هُنَاكَ، وَآخُذَ مِنَ الرُّوحِ الَّذِي عَلَيْكَ وَأَضَعَ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَيُعِينُونَكَ فِي حَمْلِ مَسْؤولِيَّةِ الشَّعْبِ، فَلا تَحْمِلُهَا أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ. | ١٧ |
18 “Say to the people, ‘Sanctify yourselves in preparation for tomorrow, and you will eat meat; for you have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying, “Who will give us meat to eat? For it was well with us in Egypt.” Therefore the LORD will give you meat, and you will eat.
| وَقُلْ لِلشَّعْبِ، أَنْ يَتَقَدَّسُوا لِلْغَدِ، فَيَأْكُلُوا لَحْماً، لأَنَّكُمْ قَدْ بَكَيْتُمْ فِي أُذُنَي الرَّبِّ مُتَسَائِلِينَ: مَنْ يُطْعِمُنَا لَحْماً؟ لَقَدْ كَانَ لَنَا خَيْرٌ فِي مِصْرَ. إِنَّ الرَّبَّ سَيُعْطِيكُمْ لَحْماً فَتَأْكُلُونَ. | ١٨ |
19 You will not eat just one day, or two days, or five days, or ten days, or twenty days,
| وَسَتَأْكُلُونَهُ لَا لِيَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ، وَلا لِيَوْمَيْنِ، وَلا لِخَمْسَةِ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ لِعَشْرَةِ أَيَّامٍ وَلا لِعِشْرِينَ يَوْماً، | ١٩ |
20 but a whole month, until it comes out at your nostrils, and it is loathsome to you; because you have rejected the LORD who is amongst you, and have wept before him, saying, “Why did we come out of Egypt?”’”
| بَلْ لِشَهْرٍ كَامِلٍ إِلَى أَنْ تَعَافُوهُ وَيَخْرُجَ مِنْ أُنُوفِكُمْ، لأَنَّكُمْ رَفَضْتُمُ الرَّبَّ الَّذِي فِي وَسَطِكُمْ، وَبَكَيْتُمْ لَدَيْهِ قَائِلِينَ: لِمَاذَا خَرَجْنَا مِنْ مِصْرَ؟» | ٢٠ |
21 Moses said, “The people, amongst whom I am, are six hundred thousand men on foot; and you have said, ‘I will give them meat, that they may eat a whole month.’
| فَقَالَ مُوسَى: «هَذَا الشَّعْبُ الَّذِي أَنَا قَائِمٌ فِي وَسَطِهِ نَحْوَ سِتِّ مِئَةِ أَلْفِ رَجُلٍ، مَاعَدَا النَّسَاءَ وَالأَطْفَالَ، وَأَنْتَ تَقُولُ إِنَّكَ سَتُعْطِيهِمْ لَحْماً لِيَأْكُلُوا شَهْراً كَامِلاً، | ٢١ |
22 Shall flocks and herds be slaughtered for them, to be sufficient for them? Shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to be sufficient for them?”
| فَمَهْمَا ذُبِحَ مِنْ غَنَمٍ وَبَقَرٍ أَيَكْفِيهِمْ؟ أَمْ يَكْفِيهِمْ لَوْ جُمِعَ كُلُّ سَمَكِ الْبَحْرِ؟» | ٢٢ |
23 The LORD said to Moses, “Has the LORD’s hand grown short? Now you will see whether my word will happen to you or not.”
| فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «هَلْ تَعْجَزُ يَدُ الرَّبِّ؟ انْتَظِرِ الآنَ لِتَرَى إِنْ كَانَ يَتَحَقَّقُ كَلامِي أَمْ لا». | ٢٣ |
24 Moses went out, and told the people the LORD’s words; and he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them around the Tent.
| فَخَرجَ مُوسَى وَكَلَّمَ الشَّعْبَ بِمَا قَالَهُ الرَّبُّ، وَجَمَعَ سَبْعِينَ رَجُلاً مِنْ رُؤَسَائِهِمْ وَأَوْقَفَهُمْ حَوْلَ الْخَيْمَةِ. | ٢٤ |
25 The LORD came down in the cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the Spirit that was on him, and put it on the seventy elders. When the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied, but they did so no more.
| فَنَزَلَ الرَّبُّ فِي سَحَابَةٍ وَخَاطَبَهُ، وَأَخَذَ مِنَ الرُّوحِ الْحَالِّ عَلَيْهِ وَوَضَعَهُ عَلَى السَّبْعِينَ رَئِيساً. فَلَمَّا حَلَّ عَلَيْهِمِ الرُّوحُ تَنَبَّأُوا لِفَتْرَةٍ وَتَوَقَّفُوا. | ٢٥ |
26 But two men remained in the camp. The name of one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad; and the Spirit rested on them. They were of those who were written, but had not gone out to the Tent; and they prophesied in the camp.
| وَكَانَ قَدْ بَقِيَ اثْنَانِ مِنَ الشُّيُوخِ الْمُسَجَّلِينَ بَيْنَ السَّبْعِينَ فِي الْمُخَيَّمِ لَمْ يَأْتِيَا إِلَى الْخَيْمَةِ، اسْمُ أَحَدِهِمَا أَلْدَادُ، وَاسْمُ الآخَرِ مِيدَادُ. فَحَلَّ عَلَيْهِمَا الرُّوحُ فَتَنَبَّآ فِي الْمُخَيَّمِ. | ٢٦ |
27 A young man ran, and told Moses, and said, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp!”
| فَأَسْرَعَ أَحَدُ الشُّبَّانِ وَأَخْبَرَ مُوسَى بِذَلِكَ، | ٢٧ |
28 Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his chosen men, answered, “My lord Moses, forbid them!”
| فَقَالَ يَشُوعُ بْنُ نُونَ، مُسَاعِدُ مُوسَى مُنْذُ حَدَاثَتِهِ: «يَا سَيِّدِي، امْنَعْهُمَا!» | ٢٨ |
29 Moses said to him, “Are you jealous for my sake? I wish that all the LORD’s people were prophets, that the LORD would put his Spirit on them!”
| غَيْرَ أَنَّ مُوسَى قَالَ لَهُ: «هَلْ مَلَأَتْكَ غَيْرَةٌ عَلَيَّ؟ لَيْتَ كُلَّ شَعْبِ الرَّبِّ يُصْبِحُونَ أَنْبِيَاءَ يَحِلُّ عَلَيْهِمِ الرَّبُّ بِرُوحِهِ». | ٢٩ |
30 Moses went into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
| ثُمَّ رَجَعَ مُوسَى وَشُيُوخُ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى الْمُخَيَّمِ. | ٣٠ |
31 A wind from the LORD went out and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, about a day’s journey on this side, and a day’s journey on the other side, around the camp, and about two cubits above the surface of the earth.
| فَهَبَّتْ رِيحٌ مِنْ عِنْدِ الرَّبِّ سَاقَتِ السُّمَانِيَ مِنْ جِهَةِ الْبَحْرِ وَأَسْقَطَتْهَا عَلَى الْمُخَيَّمِ، نَحْوَ مَسِيرَةِ يَوْمٍ، مِنْ كِلا جِهَتَيْهِ وَحَوَالَيْهِ، وَتَرَاكَمَ حَتَّى بَلَغَ ارْتِفَاعُهُ ذِرَاعَيْنِ (نَحْوَ مِتْرٍ) فَوْقَ وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ. | ٣١ |
32 The people rose up all that day, and all of that night, and all the next day, and gathered the quails. He who gathered least gathered ten homers; and they spread them all out for themselves around the camp.
| فَهَبَّ الشَّعْبُ طَوَالَ ذَلِكَ النَّهَارِ وَاللَّيْلِ، وَكُلَّ نَهَارِ الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي يَلْتَقِطُونَ السُّمَانِيَ. فَكَانَتْ أَقَلُّ كَمِّيَّةٍ جُمِعَتْ حَوَالَيْ عَشْرَةِ حَوَامِرَ (نَحْوَ أَلْفَيْنِ وَأَرْبَعَ مِئَةِ لِتْرٍ)، ثُمَّ نَشَرُوهَا حَوْلَ الْمُخَيَّمِ لِتَجِفَّ. | ٣٢ |
33 While the meat was still between their teeth, before it was chewed, the LORD’s anger burnt against the people, and the LORD struck the people with a very great plague.
| وَإِذْ كَانُوا مَازَالُوا يَمْضُغُونَ اللَّحْمَ، احْتَدَمَ غَضَبُ الرَّبِّ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَأَفْشَى بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَأً مُمِيتاً، | ٣٣ |
34 The name of that place was called Kibroth Hattaavah, because there they buried the people who lusted.
| فَدَعُوا الْمَكَانَ «قَبَرُوتَ هَتَّأَوَةَ» (وَمَعْنَاهُ قُبُورُ الشَّهْوَةِ) لأَنَّهُمْ هُنَاكَ دَفَنُوا الْقَوْمَ الْمُشْتَهِينَ. | ٣٤ |
35 From Kibroth Hattaavah the people travelled to Hazeroth; and they stayed at Hazeroth.
| ثُمَّ ارْتَحَلَ الشَّعْبُ مِنْ قَبَرُوتَ هَتَّأَوَةَ إِلَى حَضَيْرُوتَ وَمَكَثُوا فِيهَا. | ٣٥ |
