1 A nd Jehovah spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying,

وَتَكَلَّمَ اللهُ إلَى مُوسَى فِي بَرِّيَّةِ سِيناءَ فِي الشَّهرِ الأوَّلِ مِنَ السَّنَةِ الثّانِيَةِ بَعدَ أنْ تَرَكُوا أرْضَ مِصرَ، فَقالَ:

2 M oreover let the children of Israel keep the passover in its appointed season.

«لِيَحْتَفِلْ بَنُو إسْرائِيلَ بِعِيدِ الفِصحِ فِي مَوْعِدِهِ المُعَيَّنِ.

3 I n the fourteenth day of this month, at even, ye shall keep it in its appointed season: according to all the statutes of it, and according to all the ordinances thereof, shall ye keep it.

تَحتَفِلُون بِهِ فِي مَوعِدِهِ فِي اليَومِ الرّابِعَ عَشَرَ مِنَ الشَّهرِ بَعْدَ الغُرُوبِ وَقَبلَ حُلُولِ الظَلامِ. وَتُحَافِظُونَ عَلَى شَرائِعِهِ وَقَواعِدِهِ.»

4 A nd Moses spake unto the children of Israel, that they should keep the passover.

فَطَلَبَ مُوسَى مِنَ الشَّعبِ أنْ يَحتَفِلُوا بِالفِصحِ.

5 A nd they kept the passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at even, in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all that Jehovah commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel.

فَاحْتَفَلُوا بِالفِصحِ فِي الرّابِعَ عَشَرَ مِنَ الشَّهرِ الأوَّلِ، بَعْدَ الغُرُوبِ وَقَبلَ حُلُولِ الظَلامِ، فِي بَرِّيَّةِ سِيناءَ. فَعَلَ بَنو إسْرائِيلَ هَذا بِحَسَبِ ما أمَرَ اللهُ مُوسَى بِهِ.

6 A nd there were certain men, who were unclean by reason of the dead body of a man, so that they could not keep the passover on that day: and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day:

وَكانَ هُناكَ رِجالٌ غَيرُ طاهِرِينَ بِسَبَبِ لَمسِهِمْ لِجَسَدِ مَيِّتٍ، فَلَمْ يَكُونُوا قادِرِينَ عَلَى الاحتِفالِ بِالفِصحِ فِي ذَلِكَ اليَومِ. فَجاءوا إلَى مُوسَى وَهارُونَ فِي ذَلِكَ اليَومِ،

7 a nd those men said unto him, We are unclean by reason of the dead body of a man: wherefore are we kept back, that we may not offer the oblation of Jehovah in its appointed season among the children of Israel?

وَقالُوا: «لَسْنا طاهِرِينَ بِسَبَبِ لَمْسِنا لِجَسَدٍ مَيِّتٍ، وَلا نَسْتَطيعُ أنْ نُقَدِّمَ للهِ التَّقدِمَةَ فِي مَوعِدِها مَعَ بَقِيَّةِ بَني إسْرائِيلَ؟ فَماذا نَفْعَلُ؟»

8 A nd Moses said unto them, Stay ye, that I may hear what Jehovah will command concerning you.

فَقالَ مُوسَى لَهُمْ: «انتَظِرُونِي. سَأسمَعُ ما سَيَأمُرُ اللهُ بِهِ بِشَأنِكُمْ.»

9 A nd Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

فَقالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى:

10 S peak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your generations shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or be on a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the passover unto Jehovah.

«قُلْ لِبَني إسْرائِيلَ: إنْ تَنَجَّسَ أحَدٌ مِنكُمْ أوْ مِنْ أولادِكُمْ بِسَبَبِ لَمسِ جَسَدٍ مَيِّتٍ، أوْ كانَ فِي رِحلَةٍ طَوِيلَةٍ، فَعَلَيهِ أنْ يَحْتَفِلَ بِالفِصحِ للهِ.

11 I n the second month on the fourteenth day at even they shall keep it; they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs:

يَنبَغِي أنْ يَحتَفِلُوا بِالفِصحِ فِي اليَومِ الرّابِعَ عَشَرَ مِنَ الشَّهرِ الثّانِي، بَعْدَ الغُرُوبِ وَقَبلَ حُلُولِ الظَلامِ. وَليَأكُلُوا حَمَلَ الفِصحِ مَعَ خُبزٍ غَيرِ مُخْتَمِرٍ وَأعشابٍ مُرَّةٍ.

12 t hey shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor break a bone thereof: according to all the statute of the passover they shall keep it.

وَلا يَترُكُوا شَيئاً مِنهُ حَتَّى الصَّباحِ، وَلا يَكسِرُوا عَظْماً واحِداً مِنْ عِظامِهِ. يَنبَغِي أنْ يَحتَفِلُوا بِهِ بِحَسَبِ جَمِيعِ شَرائِعِ الفِصحِ.

13 B ut the man that is clean, and is not on a journey, and forbeareth to keep the passover, that soul shall be cut off from his people; because he offered not the oblation of Jehovah in its appointed season, that man shall bear his sin.

وَأمّا الشَّخصُ الطّاهِرُ وَالَّذِي لَيسَ عَلَى سَفَرٍ، لَكِنَّهُ يَتَجاهَلُ الفِصحَ، فَيُقطَعُ مِنَ الشَّعبِ، لأنَّهُ لَمْ يُقَدِّمْ تَقدِمَةَ اللهِ فِي مَوعِدِها المُعَيَّنِ. وَهَكَذا يُعاقَبُ عَلَى خَطِيَّتِهِ.

14 A nd if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep the passover unto Jehovah; according to the statute of the passover, and according to the ordinance thereof, so shall he do: ye shall have one statute, both for the sojourner, and for him that is born in the land.

«وَإنْ كانَ بَينَكُمْ غَرِيبٌ مُقِيْمٌ، وَيُرِيدُ أنْ يَحْتَفِلَ بِفِصحِ اللهِ ، فَلْيَحْفَظْهُ بِحَسَبِ شَرائِعِ الفِصحِ وَقَواعِدِهِ. الشِّريعَةُ نَفْسُها لِلغَرِيبِ وَالمُواطِنِ.» السَّحابَةُ وَالنّار

15 A nd on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud covered the tabernacle, even the tent of the testimony: and at even it was upon the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until morning.

وَفِي اليَومِ الَّذِي أُقيمَ بِهِ المَسْكَنُ المُقَدَّسُ، غَطَّتِ السَّحابَةُ المَسكَنَ وَخَيمَةَ العَهْدِ. وَفِي المَساءِ مَكَثَتِ السَّحابَةُ فَوقَ المَسْكَنِ، وَكانَتْ تَبدُو كَالنّارِ حَتَّى الصَّباحِ.

16 S o it was alway: the cloud covered it, and the appearance of fire by night.

كانَ الأمرُ كَذَلِكَ دائِماً، فَكانَتِ السَّحابَةُ تُغَطِّي الخَيمَةَ المُقَدَّسَةَ فِي النَّهارِ، وَفِي اللَّيلِ كانَتِ السَّحابَةُ تَبدُو كَالنّارِ.

17 A nd whenever the cloud was taken up from over the Tent, then after that the children of Israel journeyed: and in the place where the cloud abode, there the children of Israel encamped.

وَحِينَ كانَتِ السَّحابَةُ تَرتَفِعُ مِنْ فَوقِ الخَيمَةِ، كانَ بَنو إسْرائِيلَ يِرْتَحِلُونَ. وَحَيثُما كانَتِ الخَيمَةُ تَستَقِرُّ، كانَ بَنو إسْرائِيلَ يُخَيِّمونَ.

18 A t the commandment of Jehovah the children of Israel journeyed, and at the commandment of Jehovah they encamped: as long as the cloud abode upon the tabernacle they remained encamped.

فَكانَ بنُو إسْرائيلَ يِرْتَحِلُونَ بِعَلامَةٍ مِنَ اللهِ ، وَيُخَيِّمُونَ بِعَلامَةٍ مِنَ اللهِ. كانُوا يَمْكُثُونَ فِي المُخَيَّمِ مَا مَكَثَتِ السَّحابَةُ فَوقَ المَسْكَنِ.

19 A nd when the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the charge of Jehovah, and journeyed not.

فَإذا طالَ بَقاءُ السَّحابَةِ فَوقَ المَسْكَنِ لِعِدَّةِ أيَّامٍ، كانَ بَنو إسْرائِيلَ يَحفَظُونَ أمرَ اللهِ ، فَلَمْ يَكُونُوا يِرْتَحِلُونَ.

20 A nd sometimes the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle; then according to the commandment of Jehovah they remained encamped, and according to the commandment of Jehovah they journeyed.

وَكَذَلِكَ الامْرُ إذا بَقِيَتِ السَّحابَةُ فَوقَ المَسْكَنِ لِبِضْعَةِ أيَّامٍ. فَكانُوا يُخَيِّمُونَ بِعَلامَةٍ مِنَ اللهِ ، وَيِرْتَحِلُونَ بِعَلامَةٍ مِنَ اللهِ.

21 A nd sometimes the cloud was from evening until morning; and when the cloud was taken up in the morning, they journeyed: or if it continued by day and by night, when the cloud was taken up, they journeyed.

وَحَتَّى حِينَ كانَتِ السَّحابَةُ تَبقَى فَوقَ الخَيمَةِ المُقَدَّسَةِ مِنَ المَساءِ وَحَتَّى الصَّباحِ فَقَطْ، ثُمَّ تَرتَفِعُ فِي الصَّباحِ، كانُوا يِرْتَحِلُونَ. فَسَواءٌ أكانَ الوَقْتُ نَهاراً أمْ لَيلاً، كانُوا يِرْتَحِلُونَ حِينَ تَرتَفِعُ السَّحابَةُ.

22 W hether it were two days, or a month, or a year, that the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, abiding thereon, the children of Israel remained encamped, and journeyed not; but when it was taken up, they journeyed.

وَإنْ مكَثَتِ السَّحابَةُ فَوقَ المَسْكَنِ لأيّامٍ كَثِيرَةٍ، كانَ بَنو إسْرائِيلَ يَمكُثُونَ فَلا يِرْتَحِلُونَ. لَكِنْ حِينَ كانَتْ تَرتَفِعُ، كانُوا يِرْتَحِلُونَ.

23 A t the commandment of Jehovah they encamped, and at the commandment of Jehovah they journeyed: they kept the charge of Jehovah, at the commandment of Jehovah by Moses.

فَكانُوا يُخَيِّمُونَ بِعَلامَةٍ مِنَ اللهِ ، وَيِرْتَحِلُونَ بِعَلامَةٍ مِنَ اللهِ. كانوا يَحفَظُونَ أمرَ اللهِ الّذِي سَمِعُوهُ مِنْ مُوسَى.
