Numeri (عدد) 11

SMITH VAN DYKE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 وكان الشعب كأنهم يشتكون شرا في اذني الرب وسمع الرب فحمي غضبه. فاشتعلت فيهم نار الرب واحرقت في طرف المحلّة.	1 Meanwhile, there arose a murmur among the people against the Lord, as if they were grief-stricken because of their labors. And when the Lord had heard it, he was angry. And when the fire of the Lord was enflamed against them, it devoured those who were at the extreme end of the camp.
2 فصرخ الشعب الى موسى فصلى موسى الى الرب فخمدت النار.	2 And when the people had cried out to Moses, Moses prayed to the Lord, and the fire was consumed.
3 فدعي اسم ذلك الموضع تبعيرة لان نار الرب اشتعلت فيهم	3 And he called the name of that place, ‘The Burning,’ because the fire of the Lord had burned against them.
4 واللفيف الذي في وسطهم اشتهى شهوة. فعاد بنو اسرائيل ايضا وبكوا وقالوا من يطعمنا لحما.	4 So then, the mix of common people, who had ascended with them, were enflamed with desire, and sitting and weeping, with the sons of Israel joining them, they said, “Who will give us flesh to eat?
5 قد تذكرنا السمك الذي كنا ناكله في مصر مجانا والقثاء والبطيخ والكرّاث والبصل والثوم.	5 We remember the fish that we ate freely in Egypt; we call to mind the cucumbers, and melons, and leeks, and onions, and garlic.
6 والآن قد يبست انفسنا. ليس شيء غير ان اعيننا الى هذا المنّ.	6 Our life is dry; our eyes look out to see nothing but manna.”
7 واما المنّ فكان كبزر الكزبرة ومنظره كمنظر المقل	7 Now the manna was like coriander seed, but with the color of bdellium.
8 كان الشعب يطوفون ليلتقطوه ثم يطحنونه بالرحى او يدقونه في الهاون ويطبخونه في القدور ويعملونه ملات. وكان طعمه كطعم قطائف بزيت.	8 And the people wandered about, gathering it, and they crushed it with a millstone, or ground it with a mortar; then they boiled it in a pot, and made biscuits out of it, with a taste like bread made with oil.
9 ومتى نزل الندى على المحلّة ليلا كان ينزل المنّ معه	9 And when the dew descended in the night over the camp, the manna descended together with it.
10 فلما سمع موسى الشعب يبكون بعشائرهم كل واحد في باب خيمته وحمي غضب الرب جدا ساء ذلك في عيني موسى.	10 And so, Moses heard the people weeping by their families, each one at the door of his tent. And the fury of the Lord was greatly enflamed. And to Moses also the matter seemed intolerable.
11 فقال موسى للرب لماذا اسأت الى عبدك ولماذا لم اجد نعمة في عينيك حتى انك وضعت ثقل جميع هذا الشعب عليّ.	11 And so he said to the Lord: “Why have you afflicted your servant? Why do I not find favor before you? And why have you imposed the weight of this entire people upon me?
12 ألعلّي حبلت بجميع هذا الشعب او لعلّي ولدته حتى تقول لي احمله في حضنك كما يحمل المربي الرضيع الى الارض التي حلفت لآبائه.	12 Could I have conceived this entire multitude, or have given birth to them, so that you might say to me: Carry them in your bosom, as a nursemaid usually carries a little infant, and bring them into the land, about which you have sworn to their fathers?
13 من اين لي لحم حتى اعطي جميع هذا الشعب. لانهم يبكون عليّ قائلين اعطنا لحما لناكل.	13 From where would I obtain the flesh to give to so great a multitude? They weep against me, saying, ‘Give us flesh, so that we may eat.’
14 لا اقدر انا وحدي ان احمل جميع هذا الشعب لانه ثقيل عليّ.	14 I alone am unable to sustain this entire people, because it is too heavy for me.
15 فان كنت تفعل بي هكذا فاقتلني قتلا ان وجدت نعمة في عينيك. فلا ارى بليتي	15 But if it seems to you otherwise, I beg you to put me to death, and so may I find grace in your eyes, lest I be afflicted with such evils.”
16 فقال الرب لموسى اجمع اليّ سبعين رجلا من شيوخ اسرائيل الذين تعلم انهم شيوخ الشعب وعرفاؤه واقبل بهم الى خيمة الاجتماع فيقفوا هناك معك.	16 And the Lord said to Moses: “Gather to me seventy men from the elders of Israel, whom you know to be elders, as well as teachers, of the people. And you shall lead them to the door of the tabernacle of the covenant, and you shall cause them to stand there with you,
17 فانزل انا واتكلم معك هناك وآخذ من الروح الذي عليك واضع عليهم فيحملون معك ثقل الشعب فلا تحمل انت وحدك.	17 so that I may descend and speak to you. And I will take from your spirit, and I will deliver it to them, so that, with you, they may sustain the burden of the people, and so that you will not be weighed down alone.
18 وللشعب تقول تقدسوا للغد فتأكلوا لحما. لانكم قد بكيتم في اذني الرب قائلين من يطعمنا لحما. انه كان لنا خير في مصر. فيعطيكم الرب لحما فتأكلون.	18 You shall also say to the people: Be sanctified. Tomorrow you will eat flesh. For I have heard you say: ‘Who will give us flesh to eat? It was well with us in Egypt.’ So then, may the Lord give you flesh. And you will eat,
19 تاكلون لا يوما واحدا ولا يومين ولا خمسة ايام ولا عشرة ايام ولا عشرين يوما	19 not for one day, nor for two, nor for five, nor for ten, nor even for twenty,
20 بل شهرا من الزمان حتى يخرج من مناخركم ويصير لكم كراهة لانكم رفضتم الرب الذي في وسطكم وبكيتم امامه قائلين لماذا خرجنا من مصر.	20 but for up to a month of days, until it exits from your nostrils, and until it turns into nausea for you, because you have slipped away from the Lord, who is in your midst, and because you have wept before him, saying: ‘Why did we go forth out of Egypt?’ ”
21 فقال موسى ست مئة الف ماش هو الشعب الذي انا في وسطه. وانت قد قلت اعطيهم لحما ليأكلوا شهرا من الزمان.	21 And Moses said: “There are six hundred thousand footmen of this people, and yet you say, ‘I will give them flesh to eat for a whole month.’
22 أيذبح لهم غنم وبقر ليكفيهم ام يجمع لهم كل سمك البحر ليكفيهم	22 Could a multitude of sheep and oxen be slain, so that there would be enough food? Or will the fishes of the sea be gathered together, in order to satisfy them?”
23 فقال الرب لموسى هل تقصر يد الرب. الآن ترى أيوافيك كلامي ام لا	23 And the Lord answered him: “Can the hand of the Lord be ineffective? Soon now, you shall see whether my word will be fulfilled in this work.”
24 فخرج موسى وكلم الشعب بكلام الرب وجمع سبعين رجلا من شيوخ الشعب واوقفهم حوالي الخيمة.	24 And so, Moses went and explained the words of the Lord to the people. Gathering together seventy men from the elders of Israel, he caused them to stand around the tabernacle.
25 فنزل الرب في سحابة وتكلم معه واخذ من الروح الذي عليه وجعل على السبعين رجلا الشيوخ. فلما حلّت عليهم الروح تنبأوا ولكنهم لم يزيدوا.	25 And the Lord descended in a cloud, and he spoke to him, taking from the Spirit which was in Moses, and giving to the seventy men. And when the Spirit had rested in them, they prophesied; nor did they cease afterwards.
26 وبقي رجلان في المحلّة اسم الواحد ألداد واسم الآخر ميداد فحلّ عليهما الروح. وكانا من المكتوبين لكنهما لم يخرجا الى الخيمة. فتنبّآ في المحلّة.	26 Now there had remained in the camp two of the men, of whom one was called Eldad, and the other Medad, upon whom the Spirit rested; for they also had been enrolled, but they did not go forth to the tabernacle.
27 فركض غلام واخبر موسى وقال ألداد وميداد يتنبّآن في المحلّة.	27 And when they were prophesying in the camp, a boy ran and reported to Moses, saying: “Eldad and Medad prophesy in the camp.”
28 فاجاب يشوع بن نون خادم موسى من حداثته وقال يا سيدي موسى اردعهما.	28 Promptly, Joshua the son of Nun, the minister of Moses and chosen from many, said: “My lord Moses, prohibit them.”
29 فقال له موسى هل تغار انت لي. يا ليت كل شعب الرب كانوا انبياء اذا جعل الرب روحه عليهم	29 But he said, “Why are you jealous on my behalf? Who decides that any of the people may prophesy and that God may give to them his Spirit?”
30 ثم انحاز موسى الى المحلّة هو وشيوخ اسرائيل.	30 And Moses returned, with those greater by birth of Israel, into the camp.
31 فخرجت ريح من قبل الرب وساقت سلوى من البحر وألقتها على المحلّة نحو مسيرة يوم من هنا ومسيرة يوم من هناك حوالي المحلّة ونحو ذراعين فوق وجه الارض.	31 Then a wind, going out from the Lord and moving forcefully across the sea, brought quails and cast them into the camp, across a distance of one day’s journey, in every part of the camp all around, and they flew in the air two cubits high above the ground.
32 فقام الشعب كل ذلك النهار وكل الليل وكل يوم الغد وجمعوا السلوى. الذي قلل جمع عشرة حوامر. وسطحوها لهم مساطح حوالي المحلة	32 Therefore, the people, rising up, gathered quails all that day and night, and the next day; he who did least well gathered ten homers. And they dried them throughout the camp.
33 واذ كان اللحم بعد بين اسنانهم قبل ان ينقطع حمي غضب الرب على الشعب وضرب الرب الشعب ضربة عظيمة جدا.	33 The flesh was still between their teeth, neither had this kind of food ceased, and behold, the fury of the Lord was provoked against the people, and he struck them with an exceedingly great scourge.
34 فدعي اسم ذلك الموضع قبروت هتّأوة لانهم هناك دفنوا القوم الذين اشتهوا.	34 And that place was called, ‘The Graves of Lust.’ For there, they buried the people who had desired. Then, departing from the Graves of Lust, they arrived in Hazeroth, and they stayed there.
35 ومن قبروت هتّأوة ارتحل الشعب الى حضيروت فكانوا في حضيروت
