Numbers 20

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 The whole Israelite community arrived in the desert of Zin in the first month, and the people settled at Kadesh. It was here that Miriam died, and here that she was buried.	1 وأتى بنو اسرائيل الجماعة كلها الى برية صين في الشهر الاول واقام الشعب في قادش وماتت هناك مريم ودفنت هناك.
2 As the community had no water, they held a council against Moses and Aaron.	2 ولم يكن ماء للجماعة فاجتمعوا على موسى وهرون
3 The people contended with Moses, exclaiming, "Would that we too had perished with our kinsmen in the LORD'S presence!	3 وخاصم الشعب موسى وكلموه قائلين ليتنا فنينا فناء اخوتنا امام الرب.
4 Why have you brought the LORD'S community into this desert where we and our livestock are dying?	4 لماذا أتيتما بجماعة الرب الى هذه البرية لكي نموت فيها نحن ومواشينا.
5 Why did you lead us out of Egypt, only to bring us to this wretched place which has neither grain nor figs nor vines nor pomegranates? Here there is not even water to drink!"	5 ولماذا اصعدتمانا من مصر لتأتيا بنا الى هذا المكان الرديء. ليس هو مكان زرع وتين وكرم ورمان ولا فيه ماء للشرب
6 But Moses and Aaron went away from the assembly to the entrance of the meeting tent, where they fell prostrate. Then the glory of the LORD appeared to them,	6 فأتى موسى وهرون من امام الجماعة الى باب خيمة الاجتماع وسقطا على وجهيهما فتراءى لهما مجد الرب.
7 and the LORD said to Moses,	7 وكلم الرب موسى قائلا
8 "Take the staff and assemble the community, you and your brother Aaron, and in their presence order the rock to yield its waters. From the rock you shall bring forth water for the community and their livestock to drink."	8 خذ العصا واجمع الجماعة انت وهرون اخوك وكلما الصخرة امام اعينهم ان تعطي ماءها. فتخرج لهم ماء من الصخرة وتسقي الجماعة ومواشيهم.
9 So Moses took the staff from its place before the LORD, as he was ordered.	9 فاخذ موسى العصا من امام الرب كما امره.
10 He and Aaron assembled the community in front of the rock, where he said to them, "Listen to me, you rebels! Are we to bring water for you out of this rock?"	10 وجمع موسى وهرون الجمهور امام الصخرة فقال لهم اسمعوا ايها المردة. أمن هذه الصخرة نخرج لكم ماء.
11 Then, raising his hand, Moses struck the rock twice with his staff, and water gushed out in abundance for the community and their livestock to drink.	11 ورفع موسى يده وضرب الصخرة بعصاه مرتين فخرج ماء غزير فشربت الجماعة ومواشيها.
12 But the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, "Because you were not faithful to me in showing forth my sanctity before the Israelites, you shall not lead this community into the land I will give them."	12 فقال الرب لموسى وهرون من اجل انكما لم تؤمنا بي حتى تقدساني امام اعين بني اسرائيل لذلك لا تدخلان هذه الجماعة الى الارض التي اعطيتهم اياها.
13 These are the waters of Meribah, where the Israelites contended against the LORD, and where he revealed his sanctity among them.	13 هذا ماء مريبة حيث خاصم بنو اسرائيل الرب فتقدس فيهم.
14 From Kadesh Moses sent men to the king of Edom with the message: "Your brother Israel has this to say: You know of all the hardships that have befallen us,	14 وارسل موسى رسلا من قادش الى ملك ادوم. هكذا يقول اخوك اسرائيل قد عرفت كل المشقة التي اصابتنا.
15 how our fathers went down to Egypt, where we stayed a long time, how the Egyptians maltreated us and our fathers,	15 ان آبائنا انحدروا الى مصر واقمنا في مصر اياما كثيرة واساء المصريون الينا والى آبائنا
16 and how, when we cried to the LORD, he heard our cry and sent an angel who led us out of Egypt. Now here we are at the town of Kadesh at the edge of your territory.	16 فصرخنا الى الرب فسمع صوتنا وارسل ملاكا واخرجنا من مصر وها نحن في قادش مدينة في طرف تخومك.
17 Kindly let us pass through your country. We will not cross any fields or vineyards, nor drink any well water, but we will go straight along the royal road without turning to the right or to the left, until we have passed through your territory."	17 دعنا نمر في ارضك. لا نمر في حقل ولا في كرم ولا نشرب ماء بئر. في طريق الملك نمشي لا نميل يمينا ولا يسارا حتى نتجاوز تخومك.
18 But Edom answered him, "You shall not pass through here; if you do, I will advance against you with the sword."	18 فقال له ادوم لا تمر بي لئلا اخرج للقائك بالسيف.
19 The Israelites insisted, "We want only to go up along the highway. If we or our livestock drink any of your water, we will pay for it. Surely there is no harm in merely letting us march through."	19 فقال له بنو اسرائيل. في السكة نصعد واذا شربنا انا ومواشي من مائك ادفع ثمنه. لا شيء. امرّ برجلي فقط.
20 But Edom still said, "No, you shall not pass through," and advanced against them with a large and heavily armed force.	20 فقال لا تمرّ وخرج ادوم للقائه بشعب غفير وبيد شديدة.
21 Therefore, since Edom refused to let them pass through their territory, Israel detoured around them.	21 وابى ادوم ان يسمح لاسرائيل بالمرور في تخومه فتحول اسرائيل عنه
22 Setting out from Kadesh, the whole Israelite community came to Mount Hor.	22 فارتحل بنو اسرائيل الجماعة كلها من قادش وأتوا الى جبل هور.
23 There at Mount Hor, on the border of the land of Edom, the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,	23 وكلم الرب موسى وهرون في جبل هور على تخم ارض ادوم قائلا
24 "Aaron is about to be taken to his people; he shall not enter the land I am giving to the Israelites, because you both rebelled against my commandment at the waters of Meribah.	24 يضمّ هرون الى قومه لانه لا يدخل الارض التي اعطيت لبني اسرائيل لانكم عصيتم قولي عند ماء مريبة.
25 Take Aaron and his son Eleazar and bring them up on Mount Hor.	25 خذ هرون والعازار ابنه واصعد بهما الى جبل هور
26 Then strip Aaron of his garments and put them on his son Eleazar; for there Aaron shall be taken in death."	26 واخلع عن هرون ثيابه والبس ألعازار ابنه اياها. فيضمّ هرون ويموت هناك.
27 Moses did as the LORD commanded. When they had climbed Mount Hor in view of the whole community,	27 ففعل موسى كما امر الرب وصعدوا الى جبل هور امام اعين كل الجماعة.
28 Moses stripped Aaron of his garments and put them on his son Eleazar. Then Aaron died there on top of the mountain. When Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain,	28 فخلع موسى عن هرون ثيابه والبس العازار ابنه اياها. فمات هرون هناك على راس الجبل. ثم انحدر موسى والعازار عن الجبل.
29 all the community understood that Aaron had passed away; and for thirty days the whole house of Israel mourned him.	29 فلما رأى كل الجماعة ان هرون قد مات بكى جميع بيت اسرائيل على هرون ثلاثين يوما
