¹وكان الشعب كأنهم يشتكون شرا في اذني الرب وسمع الرب فحمي غضبه. فاشتعلت فيهم نار الرب واحرقت في طرف المحلّة.

¹And it came to pass that when the people murmured, it was evil in the ears of Jehovah; and Jehovah heard it, and his anger was kindled, and the fire of Jehovah burned among them, and consumed [some] in the extremity of the camp.

²فصرخ الشعب الى موسى فصلى موسى الى الرب فخمدت النار.

²And the people cried to Moses; and Moses prayed to Jehovah -- and the fire abated.

³فدعي اسم ذلك الموضع تبعيرة لان نار الرب اشتعلت فيهم

³And they called the name of that place Taberah; because a fire of Jehovah burned among them.

⁴واللفيف الذي في وسطهم اشتهى شهوة. فعاد بنو اسرائيل ايضا وبكوا وقالوا من يطعمنا لحما.

⁴And the mixed multitude that was among them lusted; and the children of Israel also wept again and said, Who will give us flesh to eat?

⁵قد تذكرنا السمك الذي كنا ناكله في مصر مجانا والقثاء والبطيخ والكرّاث والبصل والثوم.

⁵We remember the fish that we ate in Egypt for nothing; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic;

⁶والآن قد يبست انفسنا. ليس شيء غير ان اعيننا الى هذا المنّ.

⁶and now our soul is dried up: there is nothing at all but the manna before our eyes.

⁷واما المنّ فكان كبزر الكزبرة ومنظره كمنظر المقل

⁷And the manna was as coriander seed, and its appearance as the appearance of bdellium.

⁸كان الشعب يطوفون ليلتقطوه ثم يطحنونه بالرحى او يدقونه في الهاون ويطبخونه في القدور ويعملونه ملات. وكان طعمه كطعم قطائف بزيت.

⁸The people went about, and gathered it, and ground it with hand-mills, or beat it in mortars, and boiled it in pots, and made cakes of it; and the taste of it was as the taste of oil-cakes.

⁹ومتى نزل الندى على المحلّة ليلا كان ينزل المنّ معه

⁹And when the dew fell upon the camp by night, the manna fell upon it.

¹⁰فلما سمع موسى الشعب يبكون بعشائرهم كل واحد في باب خيمته وحمي غضب الرب جدا ساء ذلك في عيني موسى.

¹⁰And Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, every one at the entrance of his tent; and the anger of Jehovah was kindled greatly; it was also evil in the eyes of Moses.

¹¹فقال موسى للرب لماذا اسأت الى عبدك ولماذا لم اجد نعمة في عينيك حتى انك وضعت ثقل جميع هذا الشعب عليّ.

¹¹And Moses said to Jehovah, Why hast thou done evil to thy servant, and why have I not found favour in thine eyes, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?

¹²ألعلّي حبلت بجميع هذا الشعب او لعلّي ولدته حتى تقول لي احمله في حضنك كما يحمل المربي الرضيع الى الارض التي حلفت لآبائه.

¹²Have I conceived all this people, have I brought them forth, that thou sayest to me, Carry them in thy bosom, as the nursing-father beareth the suckling, unto the land which thou didst swear unto their fathers?

¹³من اين لي لحم حتى اعطي جميع هذا الشعب. لانهم يبكون عليّ قائلين اعطنا لحما لناكل.

¹³Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh that we may eat!

¹⁴لا اقدر انا وحدي ان احمل جميع هذا الشعب لانه ثقيل عليّ.

¹⁴I am not able to bear all this people alone, for it is too heavy for me.

¹⁵فان كنت تفعل بي هكذا فاقتلني قتلا ان وجدت نعمة في عينيك. فلا ارى بليتي

¹⁵And if thou deal thus with me, slay me, I pray thee, if I have found favour in thine eyes, that I may not behold my wretchedness.

¹⁶فقال الرب لموسى اجمع اليّ سبعين رجلا من شيوخ اسرائيل الذين تعلم انهم شيوخ الشعب وعرفاؤه واقبل بهم الى خيمة الاجتماع فيقفوا هناك معك.

¹⁶And Jehovah said to Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and their officers; and take them to the tent of meeting, and they shall stand there with thee.

¹⁷فانزل انا واتكلم معك هناك وآخذ من الروح الذي عليك واضع عليهم فيحملون معك ثقل الشعب فلا تحمل انت وحدك.

¹⁷And I will come down and talk with thee there; and I will take of the Spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, and thou shalt not bear it alone.

¹⁸وللشعب تقول تقدسوا للغد فتأكلوا لحما. لانكم قد بكيتم في اذني الرب قائلين من يطعمنا لحما. انه كان لنا خير في مصر. فيعطيكم الرب لحما فتأكلون.

¹⁸And unto the people shalt thou say, Hallow yourselves for to-morrow, and ye shall eat flesh; for ye have wept in the ears of Jehovah, saying, Who will give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt; and Jehovah will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.

¹⁹تاكلون لا يوما واحدا ولا يومين ولا خمسة ايام ولا عشرة ايام ولا عشرين يوما

¹⁹Not one day shall ye eat, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days;

²⁰بل شهرا من الزمان حتى يخرج من مناخركم ويصير لكم كراهة لانكم رفضتم الرب الذي في وسطكم وبكيتم امامه قائلين لماذا خرجنا من مصر.

²⁰[but] for a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it become loathsome unto you; because that ye have despised Jehovah who is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?

²¹فقال موسى ست مئة الف ماش هو الشعب الذي انا في وسطه. وانت قد قلت اعطيهم لحما ليأكلوا شهرا من الزمان.

²¹And Moses said, The people in whose midst I am are six hundred thousand footmen; and thou sayest, I will give them flesh that they may eat a whole month.

²²أيذبح لهم غنم وبقر ليكفيهم ام يجمع لهم كل سمك البحر ليكفيهم

²²Shall flocks and herds be slaughtered for them, to suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered for them, to suffice them?

²³فقال الرب لموسى هل تقصر يد الرب. الآن ترى أيوافيك كلامي ام لا

²³And Jehovah said to Moses, Hath Jehovah's hand become short? Now shalt thou see whether my word will come to pass unto thee or not.

²⁴فخرج موسى وكلم الشعب بكلام الرب وجمع سبعين رجلا من شيوخ الشعب واوقفهم حوالي الخيمة.

²⁴And Moses went out and told the people the words of Jehovah; and he gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them round about the tent.

²⁵فنزل الرب في سحابة وتكلم معه واخذ من الروح الذي عليه وجعل على السبعين رجلا الشيوخ. فلما حلّت عليهم الروح تنبأوا ولكنهم لم يزيدوا.

²⁵And Jehovah came down in a cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the Spirit that was upon him, and put it upon the seventy men, the elders; and it came to pass, that when the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied, but they did not repeat [it].

²⁶وبقي رجلان في المحلّة اسم الواحد ألداد واسم الآخر ميداد فحلّ عليهما الروح. وكانا من المكتوبين لكنهما لم يخرجا الى الخيمة. فتنبّآ في المحلّة.

²⁶And two men remained in the camp, the name of the one, Eldad, and the name of the other, Medad; and the Spirit rested upon them (and they were among them that were written, but they had not gone out to the tent); and they prophesied in the camp.

²⁷فركض غلام واخبر موسى وقال ألداد وميداد يتنبّآن في المحلّة.

²⁷And there ran a youth, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.

²⁸فاجاب يشوع بن نون خادم موسى من حداثته وقال يا سيدي موسى اردعهما.

²⁸And Joshua the son of Nun, the attendant of Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them!

²⁹فقال له موسى هل تغار انت لي. يا ليت كل شعب الرب كانوا انبياء اذا جعل الرب روحه عليهم

²⁹But Moses said to him, Enviest thou for my sake? would that all Jehovah's people were prophets, [and] that Jehovah would put his Spirit upon them!

³⁰ثم انحاز موسى الى المحلّة هو وشيوخ اسرائيل.

³⁰And Moses withdrew into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.

³¹فخرجت ريح من قبل الرب وساقت سلوى من البحر وألقتها على المحلّة نحو مسيرة يوم من هنا ومسيرة يوم من هناك حوالي المحلّة ونحو ذراعين فوق وجه الارض.

³¹And there went forth a wind from Jehovah, and drove quails from the sea, and cast them about the camp, about a day's journey on this side, and about a day's journey on the other side, round about the camp, and about two cubits above the earth.

³²فقام الشعب كل ذلك النهار وكل الليل وكل يوم الغد وجمعوا السلوى. الذي قلل جمع عشرة حوامر. وسطحوها لهم مساطح حوالي المحلة

³²And the people rose up all that day, and the whole night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails: he that gathered little gathered ten homers; and they spread them abroad for themselves round about the camp.

³³واذ كان اللحم بعد بين اسنانهم قبل ان ينقطع حمي غضب الرب على الشعب وضرب الرب الشعب ضربة عظيمة جدا.

³³The flesh was yet between their teeth, before it was chewed, when the wrath of Jehovah was kindled against the people, and Jehovah smote the people with a very great plague.

³⁴فدعي اسم ذلك الموضع قبروت هتّأوة لانهم هناك دفنوا القوم الذين اشتهوا.

³⁴And they called the name of that place Kibroth-hattaavah; because there they buried the people who lusted.

³⁵ومن قبروت هتّأوة ارتحل الشعب الى حضيروت فكانوا في حضيروت

³⁵From Kibroth-hattaavah the people journeyed to Hazeroth; and they were at Hazeroth.
