1 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

وَقالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى:

2 A venge the sons of Israel upon the Midianites; afterward thou shalt be gathered unto thy peoples.

«انتَقِمْ لِبَنِي إسْرائِيلَ مِنَ المِديانِيِّينَ بِسَبَبِ ما عَمِلُوهُ بِبَني إسْرائِيلَ. وَبَعدَ ذَلِكَ تَمُوتُ وَتَنضَمُّ إلَى آبائِكَ.»

3 A nd Moses spoke unto the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves unto the war and let them go against the Midianites and carry out the vengeance of the LORD in Midian.

فَقالَ مُوسَى لِلشَّعبِ: «اختارُوا بَعضاً مِنْ رِجالِكُمْ لِيُهاجِمُوا مِديانَ وَيُعاقِبُوهُمْ عَلَى ما عَمِلُوا ضِدَّ اللهِ.

4 A thousand out of every tribe throughout all the tribes of Israel shall ye send to the war.

فأرْسِلُوا فِي هَذِهِ الحَملَةِ ألفَ رَجُلٍ مِنْ كُلِّ قَبِيلَةٍ مِنْ قَبائِلِ إسْرائِيلَ.»

5 S o there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.

وَهَكَذا تَمَّ حَشدُ ألفِ رَجُلٍ مِنْ كُلِّ عَشِيرَةٍ مِنْ أُلُوفِ إسْرائِيلَ. تَمَّ اختِيارُ اثْنَي عَشَرَ ألفَ جُندِيٍّ لِهَذِهِ الحَملَةِ.

6 A nd Moses sent them to the war; he sent a thousand of every tribe; and Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest, went to the war with the holy instruments, with the trumpets to blow in his hand.

فَأرسَلَ مُوسَى الألفَ رَجُلٍ مِنْ كُلِّ عَشِيرَةٍ لِهَذِهِ الحَملَةِ مَعَ فِينْحاسَ بْنِ ألِيعازارَ الكاهِنِ. وَأخَذَ فِينْحاسُ مَعَهُ آنِيَةَ المَكانِ المُقَدَّسِ وَالأبواقَ لإعطاءِ الإشاراتِ.

7 ¶ And they fought against the Midianites as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew all the males.

فَحارَبُوا مِديانَ كَما أمَرَ اللهُ مُوسَى، وَقَتَلُوا كُلَّ ذُكُورِهِمُ البالِغِينَ.

8 A nd they also slew the kings of Midian among the rest of those that were slain: namely, Evi and Rekem and Zur and Hur and Reba, five kings of Midian; they also slew Balaam, the son of Beor, with the sword.

وَمِنْ ضِمْنِ مَنْ قَتَلُوهُمْ أوِيُ وَراقَمُ وَصُورُ وَحُورُ وَرابَعُ، مُلُوكُ مِديانَ الخَمسَةُ. كَما قَتَلُوا بَلْعامَ بْنَ بَعُورَ بِالسَّيفِ.

9 A nd the sons of Israel took all the women of Midian captives and their little ones and took the spoil of all their beasts and all their flocks and all their goods.

وَسَبَى بَنُو إسْرائِيلَ نِساءَ مِديانَ وَأطفالَهُمْ، كَما اغتَنَمُوا كُلَّ حَيواناتِهِمْ وَثَروَتِهِمْ.

10 A nd they burnt all their cities in which they dwelt and all their palaces with fire.

وَأحرَقَ بَنُو إسْرائِيلَ كُلَّ مُدُنِ المِديانِيِّينَ حَيثُ كانُوا يَسكُنُونَ مَعَ كُلِّ مُخَيَّماتِهِمْ.

11 A nd they took all the spoil and all the prey, both of men and of beasts.

وَجَمَعُوا كُلَّ ما أخَذُوهُ فِي الحَربِ، بِما فِي ذَلِكَ النّاسَ وَالحَيواناتِ.

12 A nd they brought the captives and the prey and the spoil unto Moses and Eleazar, the priest, and unto the congregation of the sons of Israel, unto the camp in the plains of Moab, which was by Jordan of Jericho.

ثُمَّ أحضَرُوا الأسْرَى وَالسَبْيَ وَالْغَنائِمَ إلَى مُوسَى وَألِيعازارَ الكاهِنِ وَإلَى كُلِّ بَني إسْرائِيلَ فِي المُخَيَّمِ فِي سُهُولِ مُوآبَ، بِجِوارِ نَهرِ الأُردُنِّ، مُقابِلَ أرِيحا.

13 ¶ And Moses and Eleazar, the priest, and all the princes of the congregation went forth to meet them outside the camp.

فَخَرَجَ مُوسَى وَألِيعازارُ الكاهِنُ وَكُلُّ رُؤَساءِ الشَّعبِ لِيَستَقبِلُوهُمْ خارِجَ المُخَيَّمِ.

14 A nd Moses was angry with the officers of the host, with the captains over thousands and captains over hundreds who returned from the battle.

وَغَضِبَ مُوسَى جِدّاً عَلَى قادَةِ الجَيشِ، وَعَلَى قادَةِ الألفِ وَقادَةِ المِئَةِ، الَّذِينَ عادُوا مِنَ الحَملَةِ العَسكَرِيَّةِ.

15 A nd Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?

وَقالَ مُوسَى لَهُمْ: «هَلْ تَرَكْتُمُ النِّساءَ حَيّاتٍ؟

16 B ehold, these caused the sons of Israel through the counsel of Balaam to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor for which there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD.

هَؤُلاءِ هُنَّ اللَّواتِي اتَّبَعْنَ نَصِيحَةَ بَلْعامَ، وَجَعَلْنَ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ يُخطِئُونَ إلَى اللهِ فِي فَغُورَ. فأدَّى ذَلِكَ إلَى وَباءٍ فَظِيعٍ عَلَى شَعبِ اللهِ.

17 N ow therefore kill every male among the little ones and kill every woman that has known a man by lying with him.

وَالآنَ، اقتُلُوا كُلَّ طِفلٍ ذَكَرٍ وَكُلَّ امْرأةٍ عاشَرَتْ رَجُلاً.

18 B ut all the female children that have not known a man by lying with him keep alive for yourselves.

أمّا الفَتَياتُ اللَّواتِي لَمْ يُعاشِرْنَ أحَداً، فَأبقُوا عَلَى حَياتِهِنَّ لَكُمْ.

19 A nd ye must abide outside the camp seven days; and whoever has killed any person and whoever has touched any dead body ye shall remove the sin from them on the third and on the seventh day, both of yourselves and of your captives.

امْكُثُوا خارِجَ المُخَيَّمِ لِسَبعَةِ أيّامٍ. وَكُلُّ واحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ، أوْ مِنَ المُسَبِّبِينَ، قَتلَ شَخْصاً أوْ لَمَسَ جُثَّةَ مَيِّتٍ، فَلْيَتَطَّهَرْ فِي اليَومَينِ الثّالِثِ وَالسّابِعِ.

20 L ikewise remove all sin from all your clothing and all that is made of skins and all work of goats’ hair and every vessel made of wood.

طَهِّرُوا كُلَّ ثَوبٍ، وَكُلَّ شَيءٍ مَصنُوعٍ مِنَ الجِلدِ أوْ شَعرِ الماعِزِ أوْ مِنَ الخَشَبِ.»

21 A nd Eleazar, the priest, said unto the men of war which went to the battle, This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD commanded Moses;

ثُمَّ قالَ ألِيعازارُ الكاهِنُ لِلرِّجالِ الَّذِينَ ذَهَبُوا فِي الحَملَةِ: «هَذِهِ هِيَ قاعِدَةُ الشَّرِيعَةِ الَّتِي أعطاها اللهُ لِمُوسَى:

22 c ertainly the gold and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,

الذَّهَبُ وَالفِضَّةُ وَالبُرونْزُ وَالحَدِيدُ وَالقَصدِيرُ وَالرَّصاصُ،

23 e very thing that may endure the fire, ye shall cause to pass through the fire, and it shall be clean; nevertheless, ye shall remove the sin with the water of separation; and all that does not endure the fire ye shall cause to go through the water.

وَكُلُّ شَيءٍ يَحتَمِلُ النّارَ ضَعُوهُ فِي النّارِ فَيَصِيرَ طاهِراً. لَكِنْ يَنْبَغِي تَطهِيرُهُ أيضاً بِماءِ التَّطهِيرِ. وَكُلُّ ما لا يُمكِنُ وَضعُهُ فِي النّارِ، يُوضَعُ فِي الماءِ.

24 Y e shall also wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterwards ye shall come into the camp.

وَفِي اليَومِ السّابِعِ، تَغسِلُونَ ثِيابَكُمْ فَتَكُونُونَ طاهِرِينَ. وَبَعدَ هَذا يُمكِنُكُمْ أنْ تَدخُلُوا المُخَيَّمَ.»

25 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

وَقالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى:

26 T ake the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, thou and Eleazar, the priest, and the heads of the fathers of the congregation,

«قُمْ أنتَ وَألِيعازارُ الكاهِنُ وَرُؤَساءُ عَشائِرِ الشَّعبِ بِإحصاءِ ما تَمَّ سَبيُهُ مِنَ النّاسِ وَالحَيواناتِ.

27 a nd divide the prey into two parts between those that took the part in the war, who went out to battle, and all the congregation.

وَوَزِّعُوا غَنائِمَ الحَربِ بِالتَّساوِي: نِصْفاً للجُنُودِ الَّذِينَ شارَكُوا فِي الحَملَةِ العَسكَرِيَّةِ، وَنِصْفاً لِبَقِيَّةِ الشَّعبِ.

28 A nd offer a tribute unto the LORD from the men of war who went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons and of the oxen and of the asses and of the sheep.

وَخُذُوا ضَرِيبَةً للهِ. فَمِنَ الجُنُودِ الَّذِينَ اشتَرَكُوا فِي الحَملَةِ، خُذُوا واحِداً مِنْ كُلِّ خَمسِ مِئَةٍ: مِنَ النّاسِ وَالبَقَرِ وَالحَمِيرِ وَالغَنَمِ.

29 T ake it from their half and give Eleazar, the priest, the offering of the LORD.

تُؤخَذُ هَذِهِ الأشياءُ مِنْ نِصْفِ الغَنِيمَةِ، وَتُعطَى لإلِيعازارَ الكاهِنِ كَتَقدِمَةٍ للهِ.

30 A nd of the half belonging to the sons of Israel, thou shalt take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the oxen, of the asses, and of the flocks, of all manner of animals and give them unto the Levites, who keep the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD.

وَمِنَ النِّصفِ الخاصِّ بِبَني إسْرائِيلَ، خُذُوا واحِداً مِنْ كُلِّ خَمسِينَ: مِنَ النّاسِ وَالبَقَرِ وَالحَمِيرِ وَالغَنَمِ وَكُلِّ الحَيواناتِ، وَأعطُوها لِلّاوِيِّينَ المَسْؤولِينَ عَنْ مَسْكَنِ اللهِ المُقَدَّسِ.»

31 A nd Moses and Eleazar, the priest, did as the LORD commanded Moses.

فَفَعَلَ مُوسَى وَألِيعازارُ الكاهِنُ حَسَبَ ما أمَرَ اللهُ بِهِ مُوسَى.

32 A nd the prey, that is the rest of the prey which the men of war had caught, was six hundred and seventy-five thousand sheep

وَغَنِمَ الجُنُودُ ما يَلِي مِنَ الحَربِ: سِتَّ مِئَةٍ وَخَمساً وَسَبعِينَ ألفاً مِنَ الغَنَمِ،

33 a nd seventy-two thousand oxen

وَاثْنَينِ وَسَبعِينَ ألفاً مِنَ البَقَرِ،

34 a nd sixty-one thousand asses

وَواحِداً وَسِتِّينَ ألفاً مِنَ الحَمِيرِ،

35 a nd thirty-two thousand persons in all, of women that had not known a man by lying with him.

وَاثْنَينِ وَثَلاثِينَ ألفاً مِنَ النّاسِ، أي النِّساءِ اللَّواتِي لَمْ يُعاشِرْنَ رَجُلاً قَطُّ.

36 A nd the half which was the portion of those that went out to war was in number three hundred and thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep.

وَكانَ النِّصفُ الخاصُّ بِالجُنُودِ ما يَلِي: عَدَدُ الغَنَمِ ثَلاثُ مِئَةٍ وَسَبعَةً وَثَلاثِينَ ألفاً وَخَمسَ مِئَةٍ،

37 A nd the tribute for the LORD, of the sheep was six hundred and seventy-five.

وَكانَتْ ضَرِيبَةُ اللهِ مِنَ الغَنَمِ سِتَّ مِئَةٍ وَخَمساً وَسَبعِينَ.

38 A nd the oxen were thirty-six thousand, of which the tribute for the LORD was seventy-two.

وَكانَ عَدَدُ الأبقارِ سِتَّةً وَثَلاثِينَ ألفاً، وَكانَتْ ضَرِيبَةُ اللهِ مِنها اثْنَينِ وَسَبعِينَ.

39 A nd the asses were thirty thousand five hundred, of which the tribute for the LORD was sixty-one.

وَكانَ عَدَدُ الحَمِيرِ ثَلاثِينَ ألفاً وَخَمسَ مِئَةٍ، وَكانَتْ ضَرِيبَةُ اللهِ مِنهُمْ واحِداً وَسِتِّينَ.

40 A nd the persons were sixteen thousand, of which the tribute for the LORD was thirty-two persons.

وَكانَ عَدَدُ النّاسِ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ ألفاً، وَكانَتْ ضَرِيبَةُ اللهِ مِنهُمُ اثْنَينِ وَثَلاثِينَ.

41 A nd Moses gave the tribute, which was the LORD’s heave offering, unto Eleazar, the priest, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

فَأعطَى مُوسَى الضَّرِيبَةَ، الَّتِي هِيَ حِصَّةُ اللهِ لألِيعازارَ الكاهِنِ، كَما أمَرَهُ اللهُ.

42 A nd of the half pertaining to the sons of Israel, which Moses divided from the men that had gone to war,

وَكانَ النِّصفُ الخاصُّ بِبَني إسْرائِيلَ وَالَّذِي أُخِذَ مِنَ الجُنُودِ كَما يَلِي:

43 ( now the half that pertained unto the congregation was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep

كانَ عَدَدُ الغَنَمِ ثَلاثَ مِئَةٍ وَسَبعَةً وَثَلاثِينَ ألفاً وَخَمسَ مِئَةٍ،

44 a nd thirty-six thousand oxen

وَكانَ عَدَدُ الأبقارِ سِتَّةً وَثَلاثِينَ ألفاً.

45 a nd thirty thousand five hundred asses

وَعَدَدُ الحَمِيرِ ثَلاثِينَ ألفاً وَخَمسَ مِئَةٍ،

46 a nd sixteen thousand persons)

وَعَدَدُ النّاسِ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ ألفاً.

47 o f the half, therefore of the sons of Israel, Moses took one portion of fifty, both of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, who kept the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

وَأخَذَ مُوسَى مِنَ النِّصفِ الخاصِّ بِبَني إسْرائِيلَ واحِداً مِنْ كُلِّ خَمسِينَ مِنَ الحَيواناتِ وَالنّاسِ وَأعطاها لِلّاوِيِّينَ المَسْؤولِينَ عَنْ مَسْكَنِ اللهِ المُقَدَّسِ، تَماماً كما أمَرَهُ اللهُ.

48 ¶ And the officers who were over thousands of the host, the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses,

ثُمَّ أتَى قادَةُ أقسامِ الجَيشِ إلَى مُوسَى – قادَةُ الألُوفِ وَقادَةُ المِئاتِ –

49 a nd they said unto Moses, Thy slaves have taken the sum of the men of war who are under our charge and not one man of us is missing.

وَقالُوا لِمُوسَى: «نَحنُ خُدّامَكَ قَدْ أحصَينا الجُنُودَ الَّذِينَ كانُوا تَحتَ إمرَتِنا، فَوَجَدْنا أنَّهُ لَمْ يُفقَدْ وَلا رَجُلٌ واحِدٌ مِنّا.

50 W e have therefore brought an offering for the LORD, each man of what he has found, of vessels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets, to reconcile our souls before the LORD.

وَلِذا نَأتِي بِتَقدِمَةٍ للهِ مِنَ الأشياءِ المَصنُوعَةِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ الَّتِي وَجَدَها كُلُّ واحِدٍ فِينا: أربِطَةً لِلسَّواعِدِ وَأساوِرَ وَخَواتِمَ وَأحلاقَ وَقَلائِدَ، تَقدِمَةً اختِيارِيَّةً فِي حَضْرَةِ اللهِ ، تَقدِيراً لإنقاذِهِ حَياتَنا.»

51 A nd Moses and Eleazar, the priest, took the gold from them, all wrought vessels.

فَأخَذَ مُوسَى وَألِيعازارُ الكاهِنُ الذَّهَبَ مِنهُمْ، كُلَّ الأشياءِ المَصنُوعَةِ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ.

52 A nd all the gold of the offering that they offered up to the LORD, of the captains of thousands and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels.

فَكانَ وَزنُ الذَّهَبِ الَّذِي رَفَعَهُ قادَةُ الأُلوفِ وَقادَةُ المِئاتِ للهِ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ ألْفاً وَسَبْعَ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسِينَ مِثْقالاً.

53 ( For the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.)

وَأخَذَ كُلُّ جُندِيٍّ نَصِيبَهُ مِنَ الغَنِيمَةِ.

54 A nd Moses and Eleazar, the priest, took the gold from the captains of thousands and of hundreds and brought it into the tabernacle of the testimony, for a memorial of the sons of Israel before the LORD.

فَأخَذَ مُوسَى وَألِيعازارُ الكاهِنُ الذَّهَبَ مِنْ قادَةِ الأُلوفِ وَقادَةِ المِئاتِ، وَأتَيا بِهِ إلَى خَيمَةِ الاجْتِماعِ لِيَكُونَ تَذكاراً لِبَني إسْرائِيلَ فِي حَضْرَةِ اللهِ.
