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

And Jehovah spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after their departure from the land of Egypt, saying,

2 « لِيَحْتَفِلْ بَنُو إسْرائِيلَ بِعِيدِ الفِصحِ فِي مَوْعِدِهِ المُعَيَّنِ.

Let the children of Israel also hold the passover at its set time;

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

on the fourteenth day in this month between the two evenings, ye shall hold it at its set time; according to all the rites of it, and according to all the ordinances thereof shall ye hold it.

4 ف َطَلَبَ مُوسَى مِنَ الشَّعبِ أنْ يَحتَفِلُوا بِالفِصحِ.

And Moses spoke to the children of Israel, that they should hold the passover.

5 ف َاحْتَفَلُوا 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.

And they held the passover in the first on the fourteenth day of the month, between the two evenings, in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all that Jehovah had commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel.

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

And there were men, who were unclean through the dead body of a man, and could not hold the passover on that day; and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day.

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

And those men said to him, We are unclean by reason of the dead body of a man: why are we kept back, that we may not present the offering of Jehovah at its set time among the children of Israel?

8 ف َقالَ مُوسَى لَهُمْ: «انتَظِرُونِي. سَأسمَعُ ما سَيَأمُرُ اللهُ بِهِ بِشَأنِكُمْ.»

And Moses said to them, Stay, and I will hear what Jehovah commands concerning you.

9 ف َقالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى:

And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

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

Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any one of you or of your generations be unclean by reason of a dead body or be on a journey afar off, yet he shall hold the passover to Jehovah.

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

In the second month, on the fourteenth day, between the two evenings, shall they hold it; with unleavened bread and bitter herbs shall they eat it.

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

They shall leave none of it until the morning, nor break a bone thereof: according to every ordinance of the passover shall they hold it.

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

But a man that is clean, and is not on a journey, and forbeareth to hold the passover, that soul shall be cut off from among his peoples; because he presented not the offering of Jehovah at its set time: that man shall bear his sin.

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

And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and would hold the passover to Jehovah, according to the rite of the passover, and according to the ordinance thereof, so shall he do. Ye shall have one rite, both for the stranger and for him that is born in the land.

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

And on the day that the tabernacle was set up, the cloud covered the tabernacle of the tent of testimony; and at even it was upon the tabernacle as the appearance of fire, until the morning.

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

So it was continually: the cloud covered it, and at night it was as the appearance of fire.

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

And when the cloud rose from the tent, then the children of Israel journeyed; and at the place where the cloud stood still, there the children of Israel encamped.

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

According to the commandment of Jehovah the children of Israel journeyed, and according to the commandment of Jehovah they encamped; all the days that the cloud dwelt upon the tabernacle they encamped.

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

And when the cloud was long upon the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the charge of Jehovah, and journeyed not.

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

And if it were so that the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle, according to the commandment of Jehovah they encamped, and according to the commandment of Jehovah they journeyed.

21 و َحَتَّى 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.

And if it were so that the cloud was there from the evening until the morning, and that the cloud was taken up in the morning, then they journeyed; or a day and a night, and the cloud was taken up, they journeyed;

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

or two days, or a month, or many days, when the cloud was long upon the tabernacle, dwelling upon it, the children of Israel encamped, and journeyed not; but when it was taken up, they journeyed.

23 ف َكانُوا يُخَيِّمُونَ بِعَلامَةٍ مِنَ اللهِ ، وَيِرْتَحِلُونَ بِعَلامَةٍ مِنَ اللهِ. كانوا يَحفَظُونَ أمرَ اللهِ الّذِي سَمِعُوهُ مِنْ مُوسَى.

At the commandment of Jehovah they encamped, and at the commandment of Jehovah they journeyed: they kept the charge of Jehovah according to the commandment of Jehovah through Moses.
