Numbers 9

1 In the first month of the second year after Israel had come out of the land of Egypt, the LORD spoke to Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai:

1 وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى فِي بَرِّيَّةِ سِينَاءَ، فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّانِيَةِ لِخُرُوجِهِمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ قَائِلًا:

2 “The Israelites are to observe the Passover at its appointed time.

2 «وَلْيَعْمَلْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلْفِصْحَ فِي وَقْتِهِ.

3 You are to observe it at the appointed time, at twilight on the fourteenth day of this month, in accordance with its statutes and ordinances.”

3 فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلرَّابِعَ عَشَرَ مِنْ هَذَا ٱلشَّهْرِ بَيْنَ ٱلْعَشَاءَيْنِ تَعْمَلُونَهُ فِي وَقْتِهِ. حَسَبَ كُلِّ فَرَائِضِهِ وَكُلِّ أَحْكَامِهِ تَعْمَلُونَهُ».

4 So Moses told the Israelites to observe the Passover,

4 فَكَلَّمَ مُوسَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يَعْمَلُوا ٱلْفِصْحَ.

5 and they did so in the Wilderness of Sinai, at twilight on the fourteenth day of the first month. The Israelites did everything just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

5 فَعَمِلُوا ٱلْفِصْحَ فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلرَّابِعَ عَشَرَ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ بَيْنَ ٱلْعَشَاءَيْنِ فِي بَرِّيَّةِ سِينَاءَ، حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى هَكَذَا فَعَلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ.

6 But there were some men who were unclean due to a dead body, so they could not observe the Passover on that day. And they came before Moses and Aaron that same day

6 لَكِنْ كَانَ قَوْمٌ قَدْ تَنَجَّسُوا لِإِنْسَانٍ مَيْتٍ، فَلَمْ يَحِلَّ لَهُمْ أَنْ يَعْمَلُوا ٱلْفِصْحَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ. فَتَقَدَّمُوا أَمَامَ مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ،

7 and said to Moses, “We are unclean because of a dead body, but why should we be excluded from presenting the LORD’s offering with the other Israelites at the appointed time?”

7 وَقَالَ لَهُ أُولَئِكَ ٱلنَّاسُ: «إِنَّنَا مُتَنَجِّسُونَ لِإِنْسَانٍ مَيِّتٍ. لِمَاذَا نُتْرَكُ حَتَّى لَا نُقَرِّبَ قُرْبَانَ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي وَقْتِهِ بَيْنَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ؟»

8 “Wait here until I find out what the LORD commands concerning you,” Moses replied.

8 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ مُوسَى: «قِفُوا لِأَسْمَعَ مَا يَأْمُرُ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ جِهَتِكُمْ».

9 Then the LORD said to Moses,

9 فَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:

10 “Tell the Israelites: ‘When any one of you or your descendants is unclean because of a dead body, or is away on a journey, he may still observe the Passover to the LORD.

10 «كَلِّمْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلًا: كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْكُمْ أَوْ مِنْ أَجْيَالِكُمْ كَانَ نَجِسًا لِمَيْتٍ، أَوْ فِي سَفَرٍ بَعِيدٍ، فَلْيَعْمَلِ ٱلْفِصْحَ لِلرَّبِّ.

11 Such people are to observe it at twilight on the fourteenth day of the second month. They are to eat the lamb, together with unleavened bread and bitter herbs;

11 فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلثَّانِي، فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلرَّابِعَ عَشَرَ بَيْنَ ٱلْعَشَاءَيْنِ يَعْمَلُونَهُ. عَلَى فَطِيرٍ وَمُرَارٍ يَأْكُلُونَهُ.

12 they may not leave any of it until morning or break any of its bones. They must observe the Passover according to all its statutes.

12 لَا يُبْقُوا مِنْهُ إِلَى ٱلصَّبَاحِ وَلَا يَكْسِرُوا عَظْمًا مِنْهُ. حَسَبَ كُلِّ فَرَائِضِ ٱلْفِصْحِ يَعْمَلُونَهُ.

13 But if a man who is ceremonially clean and is not on a journey still fails to observe the Passover, he must be cut off from his people, because he did not present the LORD’s offering at its appointed time. That man will bear the consequences of his sin.

13 لَكِنْ مَنْ كَانَ طَاهِرًا وَلَيْسَ فِي سَفَرٍ، وَتَرَكَ عَمَلَ ٱلْفِصْحِ، تُقْطَعُ تِلْكَ ٱلنَّفْسُ مِنْ شَعْبِهَا، لِأَنَّهَا لَمْ تُقَرِّبْ قُرْبَانَ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي وَقْتِهِ. ذَلِكَ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ يَحْمِلُ خَطِيَّتَهُ.

14 If a foreigner dwelling among you wants to observe the Passover to the LORD, he is to do so according to the Passover statute and its ordinances. You are to apply the same statute to both the foreigner and the native of the land.’”

14 وَإِذَا نَزَلَ عِنْدَكُمْ غَرِيبٌ فَلْيَعْمَلْ فِصْحًا لِلرَّبِّ. حَسَبَ فَرِيضَةِ ٱلْفِصْحِ وَحُكْمِهِ كَذَلِكَ يَعْمَلُ. فَرِيضَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ تَكُونُ لَكُمْ لِلْغَرِيبِ وَلِوَطَنِيِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ».

15 On the day that the tabernacle, the Tent of the Testimony, was set up, the cloud covered it and appeared like fire above the tabernacle from evening until morning.

15 وَفِي يَوْمِ إِقَامَةِ ٱلْمَسْكَنِ، غَطَّتِ ٱلسَّحَابَةُ ٱلْمَسْكَنَ، خَيْمَةَ ٱلشَّهَادَةِ. وَفِي ٱلْمَسَاءِ كَانَ عَلَى ٱلْمَسْكَنِ كَمَنْظَرِ نَارٍ إِلَى ٱلصَّبَاحِ.

16 It remained that way continually; the cloud would cover the tabernacle by day, and at night it would appear like fire.

16 هَكَذَا كَانَ دَائِمًا. ٱلسَّحَابَةُ تُغَطِّيهِ وَمَنْظَرُ ٱلنَّارِ لَيْلًا.

17 Whenever the cloud was lifted from above the Tent, the Israelites would set out, and wherever the cloud settled, there the Israelites would camp.

17 وَمَتَى ٱرْتَفَعَتِ ٱلسَّحَابَةُ عَنِ ٱلْخَيْمَةِ كَانَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ يَرْتَحِلُونَ، وَفِي ٱلْمَكَانِ حَيْثُ حَلَّتِ ٱلسَّحَابَةُ هُنَاكَ كَانَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ يَنْزِلُونَ.

18 At the LORD’s command the Israelites set out, and at the LORD’s command they camped. As long as the cloud remained over the tabernacle, they remained encamped.

18 حَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ كَانَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ يَرْتَحِلُونَ، وَحَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ كَانُوا يَنْزِلُونَ. جَمِيعَ أَيَّامِ حُلُولِ ٱلسَّحَابَةِ عَلَى ٱلْمَسْكَنِ كَانُوا يَنْزِلُونَ.

19 Even when the cloud lingered over the tabernacle for many days, the Israelites kept the LORD’s charge and did not set out.

19 وَإِذَا تَمَادَتِ ٱلسَّحَابَةُ عَلَى ٱلْمَسْكَنِ أَيَّامًا كَثِيرَةً كَانَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ يَحْرُسُونَ حِرَاسَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَلَا يَرْتَحِلُونَ.

20 Sometimes the cloud remained over the tabernacle for only a few days, and they would camp at the LORD’s command and set out at the LORD’s command.

20 وَإِذَا كَانَتِ ٱلسَّحَابَةُ أَيَّامًا قَلِيلَةً عَلَى ٱلْمَسْكَنِ، فَحَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ كَانُوا يَنْزِلُونَ، وَحَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ كَانُوا يَرْتَحِلُونَ.

21 Sometimes the cloud remained only from evening until morning, and when it lifted in the morning, they would set out. Whether it was by day or by night, when the cloud was taken up, they would set out.

21 وَإِذَا كَانَتِ ٱلسَّحَابَةُ مِنَ ٱلْمَسَاءِ إِلَى ٱلصَّبَاحِ، ثُمَّ ٱرْتَفَعَتِ ٱلسَّحَابَةُ فِي ٱلصَّبَاحِ، كَانُوا يَرْتَحِلُونَ. أَوْ يَوْمًا وَلَيْلَةً ثُمَّ ٱرْتَفَعَتِ ٱلسَّحَابَةُ كَانُوا يَرْتَحِلُونَ.

22 Whether the cloud lingered for two days, a month, or longer, the Israelites camped and did not set out as long as the cloud remained over the tabernacle; but when it was lifted, they would set out.

22 أَوْ يَوْمَيْنِ أَوْ شَهْرًا أَوْ سَنَةً، مَتَى تَمَادَتِ ٱلسَّحَابَةُ عَلَى ٱلْمَسْكَنِ حَالَّةً عَلَيْهِ، كَانَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ يَنْزِلُونَ وَلَا يَرْتَحِلُونَ. وَمَتَى ٱرْتَفَعَتْ كَانُوا يَرْتَحِلُونَ.

23 They camped at the LORD’s command, and they set out at the LORD’s command; they carried out the LORD’s charge according to His command through Moses.

23 حَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ كَانُوا يَنْزِلُونَ، وَحَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ كَانُوا يَرْتَحِلُونَ. وَكَانُوا يَحْرُسُونَ حِرَاسَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ حَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ بِيَدِ مُوسَى.
