SMITH VAN DYKENEW JERUSALEM
1 وكان الشعب كأنهم يشتكون شرا في اذني الرب وسمع الرب فحمي غضبه. فاشتعلت فيهم نار الرب واحرقت في طرف المحلّة.1 Now the people began to complain, which was offensive to Yahweh's ears. When Yahweh heard, hisanger was aroused and the fire of Yahweh broke out among them; it devoured one end of the camp.
2 فصرخ الشعب الى موسى فصلى موسى الى الرب فخمدت النار.2 The people appealed to Moses who interceded with Yahweh and the fire died down.
3 فدعي اسم ذلك الموضع تبعيرة لان نار الرب اشتعلت فيهم3 So the place was cal ed Taberah, because the fire of Yahweh had broken out among them.
4 واللفيف الذي في وسطهم اشتهى شهوة. فعاد بنو اسرائيل ايضا وبكوا وقالوا من يطعمنا لحما.4 The rabble who had joined the people were feeling the pangs of hunger, and the Israelites began toweep again. 'Who wil give us meat to eat?' they said.
5 قد تذكرنا السمك الذي كنا ناكله في مصر مجانا والقثاء والبطيخ والكرّاث والبصل والثوم.5 'Think of the fish we used to eat free in Egypt, the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions and garlic!
6 والآن قد يبست انفسنا. ليس شيء غير ان اعيننا الى هذا المنّ.6 But now we are withering away; there is nothing wherever we look except this manna!'
7 واما المنّ فكان كبزر الكزبرة ومنظره كمنظر المقل7 The manna was like coriander seed and had the appearance 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 The people went round gathering it, and ground it in a mill or crushed it with a pestle; it was thencooked in a pot and made into pancakes. It tasted like cake made with oil.
9 ومتى نزل الندى على المحلّة ليلا كان ينزل المنّ معه9 When the dew fell on the camp at night-time, the manna fell with it.
10 فلما سمع موسى الشعب يبكون بعشائرهم كل واحد في باب خيمته وحمي غضب الرب جدا ساء ذلك في عيني موسى.10 Moses heard the people weeping, each family at the door of its tent. Yahweh's anger was greatlyaroused; Moses too found it disgraceful,
11 فقال موسى للرب لماذا اسأت الى عبدك ولماذا لم اجد نعمة في عينيك حتى انك وضعت ثقل جميع هذا الشعب عليّ.11 and he said to Yahweh: 'Why do you treat your servant so badly? In what respect have I failed towin your favour, for you to lay the burden of al these people on 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 Was it I who conceived all these people, was I their father, for you to say to me, "Carry them in yourarms, like a foster-father carrying an unweaned child, to the country which I swore to give their fathers"?
13 من اين لي لحم حتى اعطي جميع هذا الشعب. لانهم يبكون عليّ قائلين اعطنا لحما لناكل.13 Where am I to find meat to give al these people, pestering me with their tears and saying, "Give usmeat to eat"?
14 لا اقدر انا وحدي ان احمل جميع هذا الشعب لانه ثقيل عليّ.14 I cannot carry al these people on my own; the weight is too much for me.
15 فان كنت تفعل بي هكذا فاقتلني قتلا ان وجدت نعمة في عينيك. فلا ارى بليتي15 If this is how you mean to treat me, please kil me outright! If only I could win your favour and bespared the sight of my misery!'
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 Yahweh said to Moses, 'Col ect me seventy of the elders of Israel, men you know to be the people'selders and scribes. Bring them to the Tent of Meeting, and let them stand beside you there.
17 فانزل انا واتكلم معك هناك وآخذ من الروح الذي عليك واضع عليهم فيحملون معك ثقل الشعب فلا تحمل انت وحدك.17 I shall come down and talk to you there and shal take some of the spirit which is on you and put iton them. Then they wil bear the burden of the people with you, and you will no longer have to bear it on yourown.
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 'And say to the people, "Purify yourselves for tomorrow and you wil have meat to eat, since youhave wept in Yahweh's hearing, saying: Who wil give us meat to eat? How happy we were in Egypt! Very wel ,Yahweh wil give you meat to eat.
19 تاكلون لا يوما واحدا ولا يومين ولا خمسة ايام ولا عشرة ايام ولا عشرين يوما19 You wil eat it not for one day, or two, or five, or ten or 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 a whole month, until it comes out of your nostrils and sickens you, since you have rejectedYahweh who is among you, and have wept before him saying: Why did we ever leave Egypt?" '
21 فقال موسى ست مئة الف ماش هو الشعب الذي انا في وسطه. وانت قد قلت اعطيهم لحما ليأكلوا شهرا من الزمان.21 Moses said, 'The people round me number six hundred thousand foot soldiers, and you say, "I shalgive them meat to eat for a whole month"!
22 أيذبح لهم غنم وبقر ليكفيهم ام يجمع لهم كل سمك البحر ليكفيهم22 If al the flocks and herds were slaughtered, would that be enough for them? If al the fish in the seaswere collected, would that be enough for them?'
23 فقال الرب لموسى هل تقصر يد الرب. الآن ترى أيوافيك كلامي ام لا23 Yahweh said to Moses, 'Is the arm of Yahweh so short? You shal see whether the promise I havemade to you comes true or not.'
24 فخرج موسى وكلم الشعب بكلام الرب وجمع سبعين رجلا من شيوخ الشعب واوقفهم حوالي الخيمة.24 Moses went out and told the people what Yahweh had said. Then he col ected seventy of thepeople's elders and stationed them round the Tent.
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 Yahweh descended in the cloud. He spoke to him and took some of the spirit that was on him andput it on the seventy elders. When the spirit came on them they prophesied -- but only once.
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 Two men had stayed back in the camp; one was called Eldad and the other Medad. The spirit camedown on them; though they had not gone to the Tent, their names were enrol ed among the rest. These began toprophesy in the camp.
27 فركض غلام واخبر موسى وقال ألداد وميداد يتنبّآن في المحلّة.27 A young man ran to tel Moses this. 'Look,' he said, 'Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.'
28 فاجاب يشوع بن نون خادم موسى من حداثته وقال يا سيدي موسى اردعهما.28 Joshua son of Nun, who had served Moses since he was a boy, spoke up and said, 'My lord Moses,stop them!'
29 فقال له موسى هل تغار انت لي. يا ليت كل شعب الرب كانوا انبياء اذا جعل الرب روحه عليهم29 Moses replied, 'Are you jealous on my account? If only al Yahweh's people were prophets, andYahweh had given them his spirit!'
30 ثم انحاز موسى الى المحلّة هو وشيوخ اسرائيل.30 Moses then went back to the camp with the elders of Israel.
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 A wind, sent by Yahweh, started blowing from the sea bringing quails which it deposited on thecamp. They lay for a distance of a day's march either side of the camp, two cubits thick on the ground.
32 فقام الشعب كل ذلك النهار وكل الليل وكل يوم الغد وجمعوا السلوى. الذي قلل جمع عشرة حوامر. وسطحوها لهم مساطح حوالي المحلة32 The people were up al that day and night and all the next day collecting quails: the least gatheredby anyone was ten homer; then they spread them out round 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 meat was still between their teeth, not even chewed, when Yahweh's anger was aroused by thepeople. Yahweh struck them with a very great plague.
34 فدعي اسم ذلك الموضع قبروت هتّأوة لانهم هناك دفنوا القوم الذين اشتهوا.34 The name given to this place was Kibroth-ha-Taavah, because it was there that they buried thepeople who had indulged their greed.
35 ومن قبروت هتّأوة ارتحل الشعب الى حضيروت فكانوا في حضيروت35 From Kibroth-ha-Taavah the people set out for Hazeroth, and at Hazeroth they pitched camp.
