Numeri (عدد) 14

SMITH VAN DYKE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 فرفعت كل الجماعة صوتها وصرخت وبكى الشعب تلك الليلة.	1 And so, crying out, the entire crowd wept throughout that night.
2 وتذمر على موسى وعلى هرون جميع بني اسرائيل وقال لهما كل الجماعة ليتنا متنا في ارض مصر او ليتنا متنا في هذا القفر.	2 And all the sons of Israel were murmuring against Moses and Aaron, saying:
3 ولماذا اتى بنا الرب الى هذه الارض لنسقط بالسيف. تصير نساؤنا واطفالنا غنيمة. أليس خيرا لنا ان نرجع الى مصر.	3 “If only we had died in Egypt,” and, “If only we would perish in this vast wilderness,” and, “May the Lord not lead us into this land, lest we fall by the sword, and our wives, as well as our children, be led away as captives. Is it not better to return to Egypt?”
4 فقال بعضهم الى بعض نقيم رئيسا ونرجع الى مصر	4 And they said to one another, “Let us appoint our leader, and so return to Egypt.”
5 فسقط موسى وهرون على وجهيهما امام كل معشر جماعة بني اسرائيل.	5 And when Moses and Aaron heard this, they fell prone on the ground in the sight of the multitude of the sons of Israel.
6 ويشوع بن نون وكالب بن يفنّة من الذين تجسّسوا الارض مزقا ثيابهما	6 Yet truly, Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who themselves had also viewed the land, tore their garments,
7 وكلما كل جماعة بني اسرائيل قائلين. الارض التي مررنا فيها لنتجسّسها الارض جيدة جدا جدا.	7 and they said to the entire multitude of the sons of Israel: “The land that we circled through is very good.
8 ان سرّ بنا الرب يدخلنا الى هذه الارض ويعطينا اياها ارضا تفيض لبنا وعسلا.	8 If the Lord will be gracious to us, he will lead us into it, and he will give us the land flowing with milk and honey.
9 انما لا تتمرّدوا على الرب ولا تخافوا من شعب الارض لانهم خبزنا. قد زال عنهم ظلّهم والرب معنا. لا تخافوهم	9 Do not choose to be rebellious against the Lord. And do not fear the people of this land, for, like bread, so are we able to devour them. All protection has withdrawn from them. The Lord is with us. Do not be afraid.”
10 ولكن قال كل الجماعة ان يرجما بالحجارة. ثم ظهر مجد الرب في خيمة الاجتماع لكل بني اسرائيل.	10 And when the entire multitude cried out, and they wanted to crush them with stones, the glory of the Lord appeared, over the roof of the covenant, to all the sons of Israel.
11 وقال الرب لموسى حتى متى يهينني هذا الشعب. وحتى متى لا يصدقونني بجميع الآيات التي عملت في وسطهم.	11 And the Lord said to Moses: “How long will this people disparage me? How long will they refuse to believe me, despite all the signs that I have wrought before them?
12 اني اضربهم بالوبإ وابيدهم واصيّرك شعبا اكبر واعظم منهم.	12 Therefore, I will strike them with a pestilence, and so I will consume them. But you I will make the ruler over a great nation, and one which is mightier than this one.”
13 فقال موسى للرب فيسمع المصريون الذين اصعدت بقوتك هذا الشعب من وسطهم	13 And Moses said to the Lord: “But then the Egyptians, from whose midst you led out this people,
14 ويقولون لسكان هذه الارض الذين قد سمعوا انك يا رب في وسط هذا الشعب الذين انت يا رب قد ظهرت لهم عينا لعين وسحابتك واقفة عليهم وانت سائر امامهم بعمود سحاب نهارا وبعمود نار ليلا.	14 and the inhabitants of this land, who have heard that you, O Lord, are among this people, and that you are seen face to face, and that your cloud protects them, and that you go before them with a column of cloud by day, and a column of fire by night,
15 فان قتلت هذا الشعب كرجل واحد يتكلم الشعوب الذين سمعوا بخبرك قائلين	15 may hear that you have killed so great a multitude, as if they were one man, and they may say:
16 لان الرب لم يقدر ان يدخل هذا الشعب الى الارض التي حلف لهم قتلهم في القفر.	16 ‘He was not able to lead the people into the land about which he had sworn. Therefore, he slew them in the wilderness.’
17 فالآن لتعظم قدرة سيدي كما تكلمت قائلا	17 Therefore, may the strength of the Lord be magnified, just as you swore, saying:
18 الرب طويل الروح كثير الاحسان يغفر الذنب والسيئة لكنه لا يبرئ بل يجعل ذنب الاباء على الابناء الى الجيل الثالث والرابع.	18 ‘The Lord is patient and full of mercy, taking away iniquity and wickedness, and forsaking no one who is harmless. He visits the sins of the fathers upon the sons, to the third and fourth generation.’
19 اصفح عن ذنب هذا الشعب كعظمة نعمتك وكما غفرت لهذا الشعب من مصر الى ههنا.	19 Forgive, I beg you, the sins of this people, according to the greatness of your mercy, just as you have been gracious to them in their journey from Egypt to this place.”
20 فقال الرب قد صفحت حسب قولك.	20 And the Lord said: “I have forgiven them according to your word.
21 ولكن حيّ انا فتملأ كل الارض من مجد الرب.	21 Also, as I live, the entire world shall be filled with the glory of the Lord.
22 ان جميع الرجال الذين رأوا مجدي وآياتي التي عملتها في مصر وفي البرية وجرّبوني الآن عشر مرات ولم يسمعوا لقولي	22 And yet, all the men who have seen my majesty, and the signs that I have wrought in Egypt and in the wilderness, and who have tested me ten times already, and yet have not obeyed my voice,
23 لن يروا الارض التي حلفت لآبائهم. وجميع الذين اهانوني لا يرونها.	23 these shall not see the land, about which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any of those who detracted me gaze upon it.
24 واما عبدي كالب فمن اجل انه كانت معه روح اخرى وقد اتّبعني تماما ادخله الى الارض التي ذهب اليها وزرعه يرثها.	24 My servant Caleb, who, being full of another spirit, has followed me, I will lead into this land, through which he has wandered, and his offspring shall possess it.
25 واذ العمالقة والكنعانيون ساكنون في الوادي فانصرفوا غدا وارتحلوا الى القفر في طريق بحر سوف	25 For the Amalekites and the Canaanites live in the valleys. Tomorrow, move the camp and return into the wilderness, by the way of the Red Sea.”
26 وكلم الرب موسى وهرون قائلا	26 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
27 حتى متى اغفر لهذه الجماعة الشريرة المتذمرة عليّ. قد سمعت تذمّر بني اسرائيل الذي يتذمّرونه عليّ.	27 “How long will this very wicked multitude murmur against me? I have heard the complaints of the sons of Israel.
28 قل لهم حيّ انا يقول الرب لأفعلنّ بكم كما تكلمتم في اذنيّ.	28 Therefore, say to them: As I live, says the Lord, as you spoke in my hearing, so will I do to you.
29 في هذا القفر تسقط جثثكم جميع المعدودين منكم حسب عددكم من ابن عشرين سنة فصاعدا الذين تذمروا عليّ.	29 In the wilderness, here shall your carcasses lie. All you who were numbered from twenty years and above, and who have murmured against me,
30 لن تدخلوا الارض التي رفعت يدي لأسكننّكم فيها ما عدا كالب بن يفنّة ويشوع بن نون.	30 you shall not enter into the land, over which I lifted up my hand to cause you to live there, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
31 واما اطفالكم الذين قلتم يكونون غنيمة فاني سادخلهم فيعرفون الارض التي احتقرتموها.	31 But your little ones, about whom you said that they would be a prey to the enemies, I will lead them in, so that they may see the land that has displeased you.
32 فجثثكم انتم تسقط في هذا القفر	32 Your carcasses shall lie in the wilderness.
33 وبنوكم يكونون رعاة في القفر اربعين سنة ويحملون فجوركم حتى تفنى جثثكم في القفر.	33 Your sons shall wander in the desert for forty years, and they shall bear your fornication, until the carcasses of their fathers are consumed in the desert.
34 كعدد الايام التي تجسّستم فيها الارض اربعين يوما للسنة يوم تحملون ذنوبكم اربعين سنة فتعرفون ابتعادي.	34 According to the number of the forty days, during which you examined the land, one year shall be charged for each day. And so, for forty years you shall take back your iniquities, and you shall know my retribution.
35 انا الرب قد تكلمت لافعلنّ هذا بكل هذه الجماعة الشريرة المتفقة عليّ. في هذا القفر يفنون وفيه يموتون	35 For just as I have spoken, so shall I do, to this entire most wicked multitude, which has risen up together against me. In the wilderness, here shall it fade away and die.”
36 اما الرجال الذين ارسلهم موسى ليتجسّسوا الارض ورجعوا وسجّسوا عليه كل الجماعة باشاعة المذمة على الارض	36 Therefore, all the men, whom Moses had sent to contemplate the land, and who, having returned, had caused the entire multitude to murmur against him, disparaging the land as if it were evil,
37 فمات الرجال الذين اشاعوا المذمة الرديئة على الارض بالوبإ امام الرب.	37 suffered death and were struck down in the sight of the Lord.
38 واما يشوع بن نون وكالب بن يفنّة من اولئك الرجال الذين ذهبوا ليتجسّسوا الارض فعاشا	38 But only Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh remained alive, out of all those who had journeyed to examine the land.
39 ولما تكلم موسى بهذا الكلام الى جميع بني اسرائيل بكي الشعب جدا.	39 And Moses spoke all these words to all the sons of Israel, and the people mourned exceedingly.
40 ثم بكروا صباحا وصعدوا الى راس الجبل قائلين هوذا نحن. نصعد الى الموضع الذي قال الرب عنه فاننا قد اخطأنا.	40 And behold, rising up at first light, they climbed to the top of the mountain, and they said, “We are prepared to ascend to the place, about which the Lord has spoken, for we have sinned.”
41 فقال موسى لماذا تتجاوزون قول الرب. فهذا لا ينجح.	41 And Moses said to them: “Why do you transgress the word of the Lord, merely because it will not result in prosperity for you?
42 لا تصعدوا. لان الرب ليس في وسطكم لئلا تنهزموا امام اعدائكم.	42 Do not ascend, for the Lord is not with you, lest you be overthrown before your enemies.
43 لان العمالقة والكنعانيين هناك قدامكم. تسقطون بالسيف. انكم قد ارتددتم عن الرب فالرب لا يكون معكم.	43 The Amalekite and the Canaanite are before you, by whose sword you shall be ruined, for you were not willing to consent to the Lord, and so the Lord is not with you.”
44 لكنهم تجبّروا وصعدوا الى راس الجبل. واما تابوت عهد الرب وموسى فلم يبرحا من وسط المحلّة.	44 But they, having been darkened, ascended to the top of the mountain. But the ark of the testament of the Lord, and Moses, did not withdraw from the camp.
45 فنزل العمالقة والكنعانيون الساكنون في ذلك الجبل وضربوهم وكسروهم الى حرمة	45 And the Amalekites descended, along with those Canaanites who were living in the mountains. And so, striking and cutting them down, they pursued them all the way to Hormah.
