Numbers 21
1 The Canaanite, the king of Arad, who lived in the South, heard that Israel came by the way of Atharim. He fought against Israel, and took some of them captive.
| وَعِنْدَمَا سَمِعَ مَلِكُ عَرَادَ الْكَنْعَانِيُّ، الْمُسْتَوْطِنُ فِي النَّقَبِ، أَنَّ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ قَادِمُونَ عَلَى طَرِيقِ أَتَارِيمَ، حَارَبَهُمْ وَأَسَرَ عَدَداً مِنْهُمْ. | ١ |
2 Israel vowed a vow to the LORD, and said, “If you will indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.”
| فَنَذَرَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ لِلرَّبِّ نَذْراً قَائِلِينَ: «إِنْ أَظْفَرْتَنَا بِهَؤُلاءِ الْقَوْمِ، لَنُحَرِّمَنَّ مُدُنَهُمْ». | ٢ |
3 The LORD listened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities. The name of the place was called Hormah.
| فَاسْتَجَابَ الرَّبُّ لَهُمْ، وَأَظْفَرَهُمْ بِالْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ، فَحَرَّمُوهُمْ وَمُدُنَهُمْ، فَدُعِيَ اسْمُ الْمَكَانِ «حُرْمَةَ». | ٣ |
4 They travelled from Mount Hor by the way to the Sea of Suf, to go around the land of Edom. The soul of the people was very discouraged because of the journey.
| وَارْتَحَلُوا مِنْ جَبَلِ هُورٍ عَنْ طَرِيقِ الْبَحْرِ الأَحْمَرِ لِيَدُورُوا حَوْلَ أَرْضِ أَدُومَ فَأَعْيَتْ نَفْسُ الشَّعْبِ فِي الطَّرِيقِ، | ٤ |
5 The people spoke against God and against Moses: “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no bread, there is no water, and our soul loathes this disgusting food!”
| وَتَذَمَّرُوا عَلَى اللهِ وَعَلَى مُوسَى قَائِلِينَ: «لِمَاذَا أَخْرَجْتُمَانَا مِنْ مِصْرَ لِنَمُوتَ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ، حَيْثُ لَا خُبْزَ وَلا مَاءَ؟ وَقَدْ عَافَتْ أَنْفُسُنَا الطَّعَامَ التَّافِهَ». | ٥ |
6 The LORD sent venomous snakes amongst the people, and they bit the people. Many people of Israel died.
| فَأَطْلَقَ الرَّبُّ عَلَى الشَّعْبِ الْحَيَّاتِ السَّامَّةَ، فَلَدَغَتِ الشَّعْبَ، فَمَاتَ مِنْهُمْ قَوْمٌ كَثِيرُونَ. | ٦ |
7 The people came to Moses, and said, “We have sinned, because we have spoken against the LORD and against you. Pray to the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us.” Moses prayed for the people.
| فَجَاءَ الشَّعْبُ إِلَى مُوسَى قَائِليِنَ: «لَقَدْ أَخْطَأْنَا إِذْ تَذَمَّرْنَا عَلَى الرَّبِّ وَعَلَيْكَ، فَابْتَهِلْ إِلَى الرَّبِّ لِيُخَلِّصَنَا مِنَ الْحَيَّاتِ». فَصَلَّى مُوسَى مِنْ أَجْلِ الشَّعْبِ، | ٧ |
8 The LORD said to Moses, “Make a venomous snake, and set it on a pole. It shall happen that everyone who is bitten, when he sees it, shall live.”
| فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «اصْنَعْ لَكَ حَيَّةً سَامَّةً وَارْفَعْهَا عَلَى عَمُودٍ، لِكَيْ يَلْتَفِتَ إِلَيْهَا كُلُّ مَنْ تَلْدَغُهُ حَيَّةٌ، فَيَحْيَا» | ٨ |
9 Moses made a serpent of bronze, and set it on the pole. If a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked at the serpent of bronze, he lived.
| فَصَنَعَ مُوسَى حَيَّةً مِنْ نُحَاسٍ وَأَقَامَهَا عَلَى عَمُودٍ، فَكَانَ كُلُّ مَنْ لَدَغَتْهُ حَيَّةٌ، يَلْتَفِتُ إِلَى حَيَّةِ النُّحَاسِ وَيَحْيَا. | ٩ |
10 The children of Israel travelled, and encamped in Oboth.
| ثُمَّ انْتَقَلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ وَنَزَلُوا فِي أُوبُوتَ، | ١٠ |
11 They travelled from Oboth, and encamped at Iyeabarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, towards the sunrise.
| وَمِنْهَا ارْتَحَلُوا وَحَلُّوا فِي عَيِيِّ عَبَارِيمَ، فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ الْمُقَابِلَةِ لِمُوآبَ فِي اتِّجَاهِ الشَّرْقِ. | ١١ |
12 From there they travelled, and encamped in the valley of Zered.
| ثُمَّ ارْتَحَلُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ وَنَزَلُوا فِي وَادِي زَارَدَ، | ١٢ |
13 From there they travelled, and encamped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness that comes out of the border of the Amorites; for the Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
| بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ انْتَقَلُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ وَأَقَامُوا إِلَى جَانِبِ أَرْنُونَ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ، وَرَاءَ حُدُودِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ، لأَنَّ أَرْنُونَ هِيَ الْحَدُّ الْفَاصِلُ مَا بَيْنَ بِلادِ مُوآبَ وَالأَمُورِيِّينَ. | ١٣ |
14 Therefore it is said in The Book of the Wars of the LORD, “Vaheb in Suphah, the valleys of the Arnon,
| لِذَلِكَ وَرَدَ فِي كِتَابِ حُرُوبِ الرَّبِّ: «مَدِينَةُ وَاهِبٍ فِي مِنْطَقَةِ سُوفَةَ، وَأَوْدِيَةِ نَهْرِ أَرْنُونَ، | ١٤ |
15 the slope of the valleys that incline towards the dwelling of Ar, leans on the border of Moab.”
| وَمَصَبِّ الأَوْدِيَةِ الْمُمْتَدِّ نَحْوَ مَدِينَةِ عَارَ، وَالْمُسْتَنِدِ إِلَى حُدُودِ مُوآبَ». | ١٥ |
16 From there they travelled to Beer; that is the well of which the LORD said to Moses, “Gather the people together, and I will give them water.”
| وَمِنْ هُنَاكَ مَضَوْا نَحْوَ بِئْرٍ، وَهِيَ الْبِئْرُ الَّتِي قَالَ الرَّبُّ عِنْدَهَا لِمُوسَى: «اجْمَعِ الشَّعْبَ لأُعْطِيَهُمْ مَاءً» | ١٦ |
17 Then Israel sang this song: “Spring up, well! Sing to it,
| حِينَئِذٍ شَدَا الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ بِهَذَا النَّشِيدِ: «ارْتَفِعْ يَا مَاءَ الْبِئْرِ! | ١٧ |
18 the well, which the princes dug, which the nobles of the people dug, with the sceptre, and with their poles.” From the wilderness they travelled to Mattanah;
| تَغَنَّوْا بِها، تَغَنَّوْا بِالْبِئْرِ الَّتِي حَفَرَهَا رُؤَسَاءُ. حَفَرَهَا شُرَفَاءُ الشَّعْبِ بِالصَّوْلَجَانِ وَالْعِصِيِّ». ثُمَّ انْتَقَلُوا مِنَ الصَّحْرَاءِ إِلَى مَتَّانَةَ. | ١٨ |
19 and from Mattanah to Nahaliel; and from Nahaliel to Bamoth;
| وَمِنْ مَتَّانَةَ إِلَى نَحْلِيئِيلَ وَمِنْ نَحْلِيئِيلَ إِلَى بَامُوتَ. | ١٩ |
20 and from Bamoth to the valley that is in the field of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looks down on the desert.
| وَمِنْ بَامُوتَ إِلَى الْجِوَاءِ الَّتِي فِي صَحْرَاءِ مُوآبَ عِنْدَ قِمَّةِ الْفِسْجَةِ الْمُشْرِفَةِ عَلَى امْتِدَادِ الصَّحْرَاءِ. | ٢٠ |
21 Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
| وَبَعَثَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ رُسُلاً إِلَى سِيحُونَ مَلِكِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ قَائِلِينَ: | ٢١ |
22 “Let me pass through your land. We will not turn away into field or vineyard. We will not drink of the water of the wells. We will go by the king’s highway, until we have passed your border.”
| «دَعْنَا نَجْتَزْ فِي أَرْضِكَ، فَلا نَمِيلُ إِلَى حَقْلٍ وَلا إِلَى كَرْمٍ، وَلا نَشْرَبُ مَاءَ بِئْرٍ، بَلْ نَسِيرُ فِي الطَّرِيقِ الْعَامَّةِ الْمُخَصَّصَةِ لِلسَّفَرِ حَتَّى نَعْبُرَ حُدُودَكَ». | ٢٢ |
23 Sihon would not allow Israel to pass through his border, but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel into the wilderness, and came to Jahaz. He fought against Israel.
| فَلَمْ يَأْذَنْ سِيحُونُ لِلإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ بِالْمُرُورِ فِي تُخُومِهِ، بَلْ حَشَدَ جَيْشَهُ وَخَرَجَ لِلِقَائِهِمْ إِلَى الصَّحْرَاءِ، وَحَارَبَهُمْ عِنْدَ يَاهَصَ، | ٢٣ |
24 Israel struck him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, even to the children of Ammon; for the border of the children of Ammon was fortified.
| فَهَزَمَهُ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ، وَاسْتَوْلَوْا عَلَى بِلادِهِ مِنْ أَرْنُونَ إِلَى يَبُّوقَ حَتَّى حُدُودِ الْعَمُّونِيِّينَ وَلَمْ يَتَجَاوَزُوهَا لِمَنَاعَتِهَا. | ٢٤ |
25 Israel took all these cities. Israel lived in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all its villages.
| وَامْتَلَكَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ كُلَّ مُدُنِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ، وَمِنْ جُمْلَتِهَا حَشْبُونُ وَضَوَاحِيهَا وَأَقَامُوا فِيهَا، | ٢٥ |
26 For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand, even to the Arnon.
| لأَنَّ حَشْبُونَ كَانَتْ عَاصِمَةَ سِيحُونَ مَلِكِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ الَّذِي كَانَ قَدْ حَارَبَ مَلِكَ مُوآبَ السَّابِقَ وَاسْتَوْلَى عَلَى أَرَاضِيهِ كُلِّهَا حَتَّى أَرْنُونَ. | ٢٦ |
27 Therefore those who speak in proverbs say, “Come to Heshbon. Let the city of Sihon be built and established;
| لِهَذَا يَقُولُ الشُّعَرَاءُ: «هَيَّا إِلَى حَشْبُونَ فَتُبْنَى، وَتُشَيَّدُ مَدِينَةُ سِيحُونَ. | ٢٧ |
28 for a fire has gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon. It has devoured Ar of Moab, The lords of the high places of the Arnon.
| فَقَدِ انْدَلَعَتْ نَارٌ مِنْ حَشْبُونَ، لَهِيبٌ مِنْ مَدِينَةِ سِيحُونَ، فَالْتَهَمَتْ عَارَ مُوآبَ، وَأَهْلَكَتْ أَهْلَ مُرْتَفَعَاتِ أَرْنُونَ. | ٢٨ |
29 Woe to you, Moab! You are undone, people of Chemosh! He has given his sons as fugitives, and his daughters into captivity, to Sihon king of the Amorites.
| وَيْلٌ لَكَ يَا مُوآبُ. هَلَكْتِ يَا أُمَّةَ كَمُوشَ. قَدْ هَرَبَ أَبْنَاؤُهُ وَأَصْبَحَتْ بَنَاتُهُ سَبَايَا سِيحُونَ مَلِكِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ. | ٢٩ |
30 We have shot at them. Heshbon has perished even to Dibon. We have laid waste even to Nophah, Which reaches to Medeba.”
| لَكِنْ قَدْ طَوَّحْنَا بِهِمْ. هَلَكَتْ حَشْبُونُ إِلَى دِيبُونَ، دَمَّرْنَا الْبِلادَ حَتَّى نُوفَحَ الَّتِي تَمْتَدُّ إِلَى مِيدَبَا». | ٣٠ |
31 Thus Israel lived in the land of the Amorites.
| فَأَقَامَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ فِي بِلادِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ. | ٣١ |
32 Moses sent to spy out Jazer. They took its villages, and drove out the Amorites who were there.
| وَأَرْسَلَ مُوسَى لِيَسْتَكْشِفَ مِنْطَقَةَ يَعَزِيرَ، وَمَا لَبِثَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنِ اسْتَوْلَوْا عَلَى قُرَاهَا وَطَرَدُوا مِنْهَا الأَمُورِيِّينَ، | ٣٢ |
33 They turned and went up by the way of Bashan. Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.
| ثُمَّ اتَّجَهُوا نَحْوَ طَرِيقِ بَاشَانَ. فَهَبَّ عُوجُ مَلِكُ بَاشَانَ مَعَ جَمِيعِ قَوْمِهِ لِلِقَائِهِمْ فِي إِذْرَعِي وَمُحَارَبَتِهِمْ. | ٣٣ |
34 The LORD said to Moses, “Don’t fear him, for I have delivered him into your hand, with all his people, and his land. You shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon.”
| فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «لا تَخَفْ مِنْهُ لأَنَّنِي قَدْ دَفَعْتُهُ لِيَدِكَ مَعَ جَمِيعِ قَوْمِهِ وَأَرْضِهِ، فَتَفْعَلُ بِهِ مَا فَعَلْتَهُ بِسِيحُونَ مَلِكِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ فِي حَشْبُونَ». | ٣٤ |
35 So they struck him, with his sons and all his people, until there were no survivors; and they possessed his land.
| فَقَضَوْا عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى أَبْنَائِهِ وَقَوْمِهِ حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْهُمْ حَيٌّ، وَامْتَلَكُوا دِيَارَهُ. | ٣٥ |
