Numbers 21
1 And the Canaanite — king Arad — dwelling in the south, heareth that Israel hath come the way of the Atharim, and he fighteth against Israel, and taketh [some] of them captive.
| وَعِنْدَمَا سَمِعَ مَلِكُ عَرَادَ الْكَنْعَانِيُّ، الْمُسْتَوْطِنُ فِي النَّقَبِ، أَنَّ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ قَادِمُونَ عَلَى طَرِيقِ أَتَارِيمَ، حَارَبَهُمْ وَأَسَرَ عَدَداً مِنْهُمْ. | ١ |
2 And Israel voweth a vow to Jehovah, and saith, 'If Thou dost certainly give this people into my hand, then I have devoted their cities;'
| فَنَذَرَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ لِلرَّبِّ نَذْراً قَائِلِينَ: «إِنْ أَظْفَرْتَنَا بِهَؤُلاءِ الْقَوْمِ، لَنُحَرِّمَنَّ مُدُنَهُمْ». | ٢ |
3 and Jehovah hearkeneth to the voice of Israel, and giveth up the Canaanite, and he devoteth them and their cities, and calleth the name of the place Hormah.
| فَاسْتَجَابَ الرَّبُّ لَهُمْ، وَأَظْفَرَهُمْ بِالْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ، فَحَرَّمُوهُمْ وَمُدُنَهُمْ، فَدُعِيَ اسْمُ الْمَكَانِ «حُرْمَةَ». | ٣ |
4 And they journey from mount Hor, the way of the Red Sea, to compass the land of Edom, and the soul of the people is short in the way,
| وَارْتَحَلُوا مِنْ جَبَلِ هُورٍ عَنْ طَرِيقِ الْبَحْرِ الأَحْمَرِ لِيَدُورُوا حَوْلَ أَرْضِ أَدُومَ فَأَعْيَتْ نَفْسُ الشَّعْبِ فِي الطَّرِيقِ، | ٤ |
5 and the people speak against God, and against Moses, 'Why hast thou brought us up out of Egypt to die in a wilderness? for there is no bread, and there is no water, and our soul hath been weary of this light bread.'
| 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 And Jehovah sendeth among the people the burning serpents, and they bite the people, and much people of Israel die;
| فَأَطْلَقَ الرَّبُّ عَلَى الشَّعْبِ الْحَيَّاتِ السَّامَّةَ، فَلَدَغَتِ الشَّعْبَ، فَمَاتَ مِنْهُمْ قَوْمٌ كَثِيرُونَ. | ٦ |
7 and the people come in unto Moses and say, 'We have sinned, for we have spoken against Jehovah, and against thee; pray unto Jehovah, and He doth turn aside from us the serpent;' and Moses prayeth in behalf of 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 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Make for thee a burning [serpent], and set it on an ensign; and it hath been, every one who is bitten and hath seen it — he hath lived.
| فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «اصْنَعْ لَكَ حَيَّةً سَامَّةً وَارْفَعْهَا عَلَى عَمُودٍ، لِكَيْ يَلْتَفِتَ إِلَيْهَا كُلُّ مَنْ تَلْدَغُهُ حَيَّةٌ، فَيَحْيَا» | ٨ |
9 And Moses maketh a serpent of brass, and setteth it on the ensign, and it hath been, if the serpent hath bitten any man, and he hath looked expectingly unto the serpent of brass — he hath lived.
| فَصَنَعَ مُوسَى حَيَّةً مِنْ نُحَاسٍ وَأَقَامَهَا عَلَى عَمُودٍ، فَكَانَ كُلُّ مَنْ لَدَغَتْهُ حَيَّةٌ، يَلْتَفِتُ إِلَى حَيَّةِ النُّحَاسِ وَيَحْيَا. | ٩ |
10 And the sons of Israel journey, and encamp in Oboth.
| ثُمَّ انْتَقَلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ وَنَزَلُوا فِي أُوبُوتَ، | ١٠ |
11 And they journey from Oboth, and encamp in Ije-Abarim, in the wilderness that [is] on the front of Moab, at the rising of the sun.
| وَمِنْهَا ارْتَحَلُوا وَحَلُّوا فِي عَيِيِّ عَبَارِيمَ، فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ الْمُقَابِلَةِ لِمُوآبَ فِي اتِّجَاهِ الشَّرْقِ. | ١١ |
12 From thence they have journeyed, and encamp in the valley of Zared.
| ثُمَّ ارْتَحَلُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ وَنَزَلُوا فِي وَادِي زَارَدَ، | ١٢ |
13 From thence they have journeyed, and encamp beyond Arnon, which [is] in the wilderness which is coming out of the border of the Amorite, for Arnon [is] the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorite;
| 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 a book, 'The wars of Jehovah,' — 'Waheb in Suphah, And the brooks of Arnon;
| لِذَلِكَ وَرَدَ فِي كِتَابِ حُرُوبِ الرَّبِّ: «مَدِينَةُ وَاهِبٍ فِي مِنْطَقَةِ سُوفَةَ، وَأَوْدِيَةِ نَهْرِ أَرْنُونَ، | ١٤ |
15 And the spring of the brooks, Which turned aside to the dwelling of Ar, And hath leaned to the border of Moab.'
| وَمَصَبِّ الأَوْدِيَةِ الْمُمْتَدِّ نَحْوَ مَدِينَةِ عَارَ، وَالْمُسْتَنِدِ إِلَى حُدُودِ مُوآبَ». | ١٥ |
16 And from thence [they journeyed] to Beer; it [is] the well [concerning] which Jehovah said to Moses, 'Gather the people, and I give to them — water.'
| وَمِنْ هُنَاكَ مَضَوْا نَحْوَ بِئْرٍ، وَهِيَ الْبِئْرُ الَّتِي قَالَ الرَّبُّ عِنْدَهَا لِمُوسَى: «اجْمَعِ الشَّعْبَ لأُعْطِيَهُمْ مَاءً» | ١٦ |
17 Then singeth Israel this song, concerning the well — they have answered to it:
| حِينَئِذٍ شَدَا الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ بِهَذَا النَّشِيدِ: «ارْتَفِعْ يَا مَاءَ الْبِئْرِ! | ١٧ |
18 'A well — digged it have princes, Prepared it have nobles of the people, With the lawgiver, with their staves.' And from the wilderness [they journeyed] 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 in the valley which [is] in the field of Moab [to] the top of Pisgah, which hath looked on the front of the wilderness.
| وَمِنْ بَامُوتَ إِلَى الْجِوَاءِ الَّتِي فِي صَحْرَاءِ مُوآبَ عِنْدَ قِمَّةِ الْفِسْجَةِ الْمُشْرِفَةِ عَلَى امْتِدَادِ الصَّحْرَاءِ. | ٢٠ |
21 And Israel sendeth messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorite, saying,
| وَبَعَثَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ رُسُلاً إِلَى سِيحُونَ مَلِكِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ قَائِلِينَ: | ٢١ |
22 'Let me pass through thy land, we do not turn aside into a field, or into a vineyard, we do not drink waters of a well; in the king's way we go, till that we pass over thy 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 And Sihon hath not suffered Israel to pass through his border, and Sihon gathereth all his people, and cometh out to meet Israel into the wilderness, and cometh in to Jahaz, and fighteth against Israel.
| فَلَمْ يَأْذَنْ سِيحُونُ لِلإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ بِالْمُرُورِ فِي تُخُومِهِ، بَلْ حَشَدَ جَيْشَهُ وَخَرَجَ لِلِقَائِهِمْ إِلَى الصَّحْرَاءِ، وَحَارَبَهُمْ عِنْدَ يَاهَصَ، | ٢٣ |
24 And Israel smiteth him by the mouth of the sword, and possesseth his land from Arnon unto Jabbok — unto the sons of Ammon; for the border of the sons of Ammon [is] strong.
| فَهَزَمَهُ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ، وَاسْتَوْلَوْا عَلَى بِلادِهِ مِنْ أَرْنُونَ إِلَى يَبُّوقَ حَتَّى حُدُودِ الْعَمُّونِيِّينَ وَلَمْ يَتَجَاوَزُوهَا لِمَنَاعَتِهَا. | ٢٤ |
25 And Israel taketh all these cities, and Israel dwelleth in all the cities of the Amorite, in Heshbon, and in all its villages;
| وَامْتَلَكَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ كُلَّ مُدُنِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ، وَمِنْ جُمْلَتِهَا حَشْبُونُ وَضَوَاحِيهَا وَأَقَامُوا فِيهَا، | ٢٥ |
26 for Heshbon is a city of Sihon king of the Amorite, and he hath fought against the former king of Moab, and taketh all his land out of his hand, unto 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 using similes say — 'Enter ye Heshbon, Let the city of Sihon be built and ready,
| لِهَذَا يَقُولُ الشُّعَرَاءُ: «هَيَّا إِلَى حَشْبُونَ فَتُبْنَى، وَتُشَيَّدُ مَدِينَةُ سِيحُونَ. | ٢٧ |
28 For fire hath gone out from Heshbon, A flame from the city of Sihon, It hath consumed Ar of Moab, Owners of the high places of Arnon.
| فَقَدِ انْدَلَعَتْ نَارٌ مِنْ حَشْبُونَ، لَهِيبٌ مِنْ مَدِينَةِ سِيحُونَ، فَالْتَهَمَتْ عَارَ مُوآبَ، وَأَهْلَكَتْ أَهْلَ مُرْتَفَعَاتِ أَرْنُونَ. | ٢٨ |
29 Woe to thee, O Moab, Thou hast perished, O people of Chemosh, He hath given his sons who escape — Also his daughters — Into captivity, to a king of the Amorite — Sihon!
| وَيْلٌ لَكَ يَا مُوآبُ. هَلَكْتِ يَا أُمَّةَ كَمُوشَ. قَدْ هَرَبَ أَبْنَاؤُهُ وَأَصْبَحَتْ بَنَاتُهُ سَبَايَا سِيحُونَ مَلِكِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ. | ٢٩ |
30 And we shoot them, Perished hath Heshbon unto Dibon, And we make desolate unto Nophah, Which [is] unto Medeba.'
| لَكِنْ قَدْ طَوَّحْنَا بِهِمْ. هَلَكَتْ حَشْبُونُ إِلَى دِيبُونَ، دَمَّرْنَا الْبِلادَ حَتَّى نُوفَحَ الَّتِي تَمْتَدُّ إِلَى مِيدَبَا». | ٣٠ |
31 And Israel dwelleth in the land of the Amorite,
| فَأَقَامَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ فِي بِلادِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ. | ٣١ |
32 and Moses sendeth to spy out Jaazer, and they capture its villages, and dispossess the Amorite who [is] there,
| وَأَرْسَلَ مُوسَى لِيَسْتَكْشِفَ مِنْطَقَةَ يَعَزِيرَ، وَمَا لَبِثَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنِ اسْتَوْلَوْا عَلَى قُرَاهَا وَطَرَدُوا مِنْهَا الأَمُورِيِّينَ، | ٣٢ |
33 and turn and go up the way of Bashan, and Og king of Bashan cometh out to meet 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 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Fear him not, for into thy hand I have given him, and all his people, and his land, and thou hast done to him as thou hast done to Sihon king of the Amorite, who is dwelling in 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 And they smite him, and his sons, and all his people, until he hath not left to him a remnant, and they possess his land.
| فَقَضَوْا عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى أَبْنَائِهِ وَقَوْمِهِ حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْهُمْ حَيٌّ، وَامْتَلَكُوا دِيَارَهُ. | ٣٥ |
