Numbers 10

1 Then the LORD said to Moses,

1 وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى:

2 “Make two trumpets of hammered silver to be used for calling the congregation and for having the camps set out.

2 «اصْنَعْ لَكَ بُوقَيْنِ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ مَطْرُوقَةٍ تَسْتَخْدِمُهُمَا لِدَعْوَةِ الشَّعْبِ، وَلإِعْلانِ نَفِيرِ الرَّحِيلِ،

3 When both are sounded, the whole congregation is to assemble before you at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

3 فَحَالَمَا يُنْفَخُ فِيهِمَا يَجْتَمِعُ إِلَيْكَ الشَّعْبُ عِنْدَ مَدْخَلِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ.

4 But if only one is sounded, then the leaders, the heads of the clans of Israel, are to gather before you.

4 أَمَّا إِذَا نُفِخَ فِي بُوقٍ وَاحِدٍ، يَتَوَافَدُ إِلَيْكَ رُؤَسَاءُ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

5 When you sound short blasts, the camps that lie on the east side are to set out.

5 وَعِنْدَمَا يَرْتَفِعُ نَفِيرُ هُتَافٍ، تَرْتَحِلُ الأَسْبَاطُ الْمُخَيِّمَةُ إِلَى الشَّرْقِ،

6 When you sound the short blasts a second time, the camps that lie on the south side are to set out. The blasts are to signal them to set out.

6 وَإذَا ارْتَفَعَ نَفِيرُ هُتَافٍ ثَانٍ تَرْتَحِلُ الأَسْبَاطُ النَّازِلَةُ إِلَى الْجَنُوبِ، وَهَكَذَا يُعْلَنُ عَنِ الارْتِحَالِ بِنَفِيرِ الْهُتَافِ.

7 To convene the assembly, you are to sound long blasts, not short ones.

7 أَمَّا عِنْدَ جَمْعِ الشَّعْبِ، فَانْفُخُوا بِالْبُوقَيْنِ، وَلَكِنْ مِنْ غَيْرِ هُتَافٍ،

8 The sons of Aaron, the priests, are to sound the trumpets. This shall be a permanent statute for you and the generations to come.

8 وَيَكُونُ أَبْنَاءُ هَرُونَ هُمُ النَّافِخُونَ بِالأَبْوَاقِ، فَرِيضَةً دَائِمَةً لَكُمْ جِيلاً بَعْدَ جِيلٍ.

9 When you enter into battle in your land against an adversary who attacks you, sound short blasts on the trumpets, and you will be remembered before the LORD your God and saved from your enemies.

9 وَإِنْ ذَهَبْتُمْ لِمُحَارَبَةِ عَدُوٍّ فِي أَرْضِكُمْ يَضُرُّ بِكُمْ، فَاضْرِبُوا بِالأَبْوَاقِ، فَأَذْكُرَكُمْ وَأُخَلِّصَكُمْ مِنْ أَعْدَائِكُمْ.

10 And on your joyous occasions, your appointed feasts, and the beginning of each month, you are to blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and peace offerings to serve as a reminder for you before your God. I am the LORD your God.”

10 انْفُخُوا فِي الأَبْوَاقِ أَيْضاً فِي أَيَّامِ فَرَحِكُمْ وَفِي أَعْيَادِكُمْ وَرُؤُوسِ شُهُورِكُمْ، وَكَذَلِكَ عَلَى مُحْرَقَاتِكُمْ وَذَبَائِحِ سَلامِكُمْ، فَتَكُونَ لَكُمْ تَذْكَاراً أَمَامِي. أَنَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ».

11 On the twentieth day of the second month of the second year, the cloud was lifted from above the tabernacle of the Testimony,

11 وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الْعِشْرِينَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الثَّانِي مِنَ السَّنَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ (الْعِبْرِيَّةِ) ارْتَفَعَتِ السَّحَابَةُ عَنْ مَسْكَنِ الشَّهَادَةِ،

12 and the Israelites set out from the Wilderness of Sinai, traveling from place to place until the cloud settled in the Wilderness of Paran.

12 فَارْتَحَلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي صَحْرَاءِ سِينَاءَ مِنْ مَكَانٍ إِلَى آخَرَ إِلَى أَنِ اسْتَقَرَّتِ السَّحَابَةُ فِي بَرِّيَّةِ فَارَانَ.

13 They set out this first time according to the LORD’s command through Moses.

13 وَكَانَتْ هَذِهِ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ يَرْتَحِلُونَ فِيهَا بِمُوْجِبِ التَّنْظِيمِ الْجَدِيدِ الَّذِي أَمَرَ بِهِ الرَّبُّ عَلَى لِسَانِ مُوسَى،

14 First, the divisions of the camp of Judah set out under their standard, with Nahshon son of Amminadab in command.

14 فَقَدِ ارْتَحَلَتْ أَوَّلاً مُخَيَّمَاتُ سِبْطِ يَهُوذَا طِبْقاً لِعَشَائِرِهِمْ، وَعَلَى رَأْسِهِمْ نَحْشُونُ بْنُ عَمِّينَادَابَ.

15 Nethanel son of Zuar was over the division of the tribe of Issachar,

15 ثُمَّ عَشَائِرُ سِبْطِ يَسَّاكَرَ، وَعَلَى رَأْسِهِمْ نَثَنَائِيلُ بْنُ صُوغَرَ،

16 and Eliab son of Helon was over the division of the tribe of Zebulun.

16 وَتَلاهُمْ سِبْطُ زَبُولُونَ، وَعَلَى رَأْسِهِ آلِيآبُ بْنُ حِيلُونَ،

17 Then the tabernacle was taken down, and the Gershonites and the Merarites set out, transporting it.

17 ثُمَّ أُنْزِلَ الْمَسْكَنُ، فَارْتَحَلَ بَنُو جَرْشُونَ وَبَنُو مَرَارِي حَامِلِينَ الْمَسْكَنَ،

18 Then the divisions of the camp of Reuben set out under their standard, with Elizur son of Shedeur in command.

18 وَأَعْقَبَتْهُمْ مُخَيَّمَاتُ سِبْطِ رَأُوبَيْنَ وَفْقاً لِعَشَائِرِهِمْ، وَعَلَى رَأْسِهِمْ أَلِيصُورُ بْنُ شَدَيْئُورَ.

19 Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai was over the division of the tribe of Simeon,

19 ثُمَّ عَشَائِرُ سِبْطِ شِمْعُونَ، وَعَلَى رَأْسِهِمْ شَلُومِيئِيلُ بْنُ صُورِيشَدَّاي،

20 and Eliasaph son of Deuel was over the division of the tribe of Gad.

20 وَتَبِعَتْهُمْ عَشَائِرُ سِبْطِ جَادٍ، وَعَلَى رَأْسِهِمْ أَلِيَاسَافُ بْنُ دَعُوئِيلَ،

21 Then the Kohathites set out, transporting the holy objects; the tabernacle was to be set up before their arrival.

21 ثُمَّ ارْتَحَلَ الْقَهَاتِيُّونَ حَامِلِينَ الْمَقْدِسَ إِلَى حَيْثُ كَانَ الْمَسْكَنُ قَدْ أُقِيمَ فِي انْتِظَارِهِمْ.

22 Next, the divisions of the camp of Ephraim set out under their standard, with Elishama son of Ammihud in command.

22 وَارْتَحَلَتْ عَلَى أَثَرِهِمْ مُخَيَّمَاتُ أَفْرَايِمَ حَسَبِ عَشَائِرِهَا وَعَلَى رَأْسِهَا أَلِيشَمَعُ بْنُ عَمِّيهُودَ،

23 Gamaliel son of Pedahzur was over the division of the tribe of Manasseh,

23 ثُمَّ سِبْطُ مَنَسَّى وَعَلَى رَأْسِهِ جَمْلِيئِيلُ بْنُ فَدَهْصُورَ،

24 and Abidan son of Gideoni was over the division of the tribe of Benjamin.

24 وَتَبِعَهُمْ سِبْطُ بِنْيَامِينَ، وَعَلَى رَأْسِهِ أَبِيدَنُ بْنُ جِدْعُونِي،

25 Finally, the divisions of the camp of Dan set out under their standard, serving as the rear guard for all units, with Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai in command.

25 ثُمَّ ارْتَحَلَتْ مُخَيَّمَاتُ سِبْطِ دَانٍ بِرَايَتِهِ مَعَ جَمِيعِ عَشَائِرِهِ، فِي مُؤَخَّرَةِ الْجَمَاعَةِ، وَكَانَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ أَخِيعَزَرُ بْنُ عَمِّيشَدَّاي.

26 Pagiel son of Ocran was over the division of the tribe of Asher,

26 وَسِبْطِ أَشِيرَ وَعَلَى رَأْسِهِ فَجْعِيئِيلُ بْنُ عُكْرَنَ،

27 and Ahira son of Enan was over the division of the tribe of Naphtali.

27 وَسِبْطِ نَفْتَالِي وَعَلَى رَأْسِهِ أَخِيرَعُ بْنُ عِينَنَ،

28 This was the order of march for the Israelite divisions as they set out.

28 فَكَانَ هَذَا هُوَ النِّظَامُ الَّذِي سَارَتْ عَلَيْهِ أَسْبَاطُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي أَثْنَاءِ رَحِيلِهِمْ.

29 Then Moses said to Hobab, the son of Moses’ father-in-law Reuel the Midianite, “We are setting out for the place of which the LORD said: ‘I will give it to you.’ Come with us, and we will treat you well, for the LORD has promised good things to Israel.”

29 وَقَالَ مُوسَى لِحَمِيهِ حُوبَابَ بْنِ رَعُوئِيلَ الْمِدْيَانِيِّ: «إِنَّنَا رَاحِلُونَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي وَعَدَ الرَّبُّ أَنْ يَهَبَهَا لَنَا، فَتَعَالَ مَعْنَا، فَنُحْسِنَ إِلَيْكَ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ وَعَدَ أَنْ يُحْسِنَ إِلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ».

30 “I will not go,” Hobab replied. “Instead, I am going back to my own land and my own people.”

30 فَقَالَ لَهُ: «لا أَذْهَبُ، بَلْ دَعْنِي أَمْضِي إِلَى أَرْضِي وَعَشِيرَتِي».

31 “Please do not leave us,” Moses said, “since you know where we should camp in the wilderness, and you can serve as our eyes.

31 فَقَالَ مُوسَى: «لا تَتْرُكْنَا لأَنَّكَ تَعْرِفُ مَسَالِكَ الصَّحْرَاءِ وَمَوَاضِعَ الإِقَامَةِ فِيهَا، فَتَكُونَ لَنَا دَلِيلاً.

32 If you come with us, we will share with you whatever good things the LORD gives us.”

32 وَإِنْ رَافَقْتَنَا فَإِنَّنَا نُحْسِنُ إِلَيْكَ بِنَفْسِ الإِحْسَانِ الَّذِي يُحْسِنُ الرَّبُّ بِهِ إِلَيْنَا».

33 So they set out on a three-day journey from the mountain of the LORD, with the ark of the covenant of the LORD traveling ahead of them for those three days to seek a resting place for them.

33 فَارْتَحَلُوا مِنْ عِنْدِ جَبَلِ الرَّبِّ مَسِيرَةَ ثَلاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ، وَكَانَ تَابُوتُ الرَّبِّ يَتَقَدَّمُهُمْ بَاحِثاً لَهُمْ عَنْ مَوْضِعِ إِقَامَةٍ.

34 And the cloud of the LORD was over them by day when they set out from the camp.

34 وَكَانَتْ سَحَابَةُ الرَّبِّ تُظَلِّلُهُمْ نَهَاراً فِي أَثْنَاءِ ارْتِحَالِهِمْ مِنَ الْمُخَيَّمِ،

35 Whenever the ark set out, Moses would say, “Rise up, O LORD! May Your enemies be scattered; may those who hate You flee before You.”

35 وَكَانَ مُوسَى يَقُولُ عِنْدَ ارْتِحَالِ التَّابُوتِ: «قُمْ يَا رَبُّ وَبَدِّدْ أَعْدَاءَكَ فَيَهْرُبَ مُبْغِضُوكَ مِنْ أَمَامِكَ»

36 And when it came to rest, he would say: “Return, O LORD, to the countless thousands of Israel.”

36 وَكَانَ يَقُولُ عِنْدَ حُلُولِهِ: «ارْجِعْ يَا رَبُّ إِلَى عَشَرَاتِ أُلُوفِ إِسْرَائِيلَ».
