اَلْخُرُوجُ 10
| ثُمَّ قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «ٱدْخُلْ إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ، فَإِنِّي أَغْلَظْتُ قَلْبَهُ وَقُلُوبَ عَبِيدِهِ لِكَيْ أَصْنَعَ آيَاتِي هَذِهِ بَيْنَهُمْ. | ١ 1 |
The Lord told Moses, “Go and see Pharaoh, because it was me who gave him and his officials a stubborn attitude so that I may perform my miracles before them.
| وَلِكَيْ تُخْبِرَ فِي مَسَامِعِ ٱبْنِكَ وَٱبْنِ ٱبْنِكَ بِمَا فَعَلْتُهُ فِي مِصْرَ، وَبِآيَاتِي ٱلَّتِي صَنَعْتُهَا بَيْنَهُمْ، فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ». | ٢ 2 |
This is so you can tell your children and grandchildren how I made the Egyptians look foolish by doing these miracles among them, and so that you may know that I am the Lord.”
| فَدَخَلَ مُوسَى وَهَارُونُ إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ وَقَالَا لَهُ: «هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ ٱلْعِبْرَانِيِّينَ: إِلَى مَتَى تَأْبَى أَنْ تَخْضَعَ لِي؟ أَطْلِقْ شَعْبِي لِيَعْبُدُونِي. | ٣ 3 |
Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and told him, “This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: ‘How long are you going to refuse to humble yourself before me? Let my people go, so that they can worship me.
| فَإِنَّهُ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَأْبَى أَنْ تُطْلِقَ شَعْبِي هَا أَنَا أَجِيءُ غَدًا بِجَرَادٍ عَلَى تُخُومِكَ، | ٤ 4 |
If you refuse to let my people leave, tomorrow I will send a plague of locusts into your country.
| فَيُغَطِّي وَجْهَ ٱلْأَرْضِ حَتَّى لَا يُسْتَطَاعَ نَظَرُ ٱلْأَرْضِ. وَيَأْكُلُ ٱلْفَضْلَةَ ٱلسَّالِمَةَ ٱلْبَاقِيَةَ لَكُمْ مِنَ ٱلْبَرَدِ. وَيَأْكُلُ جَمِيعَ ٱلشَّجَرِ ٱلنَّابِتِ لَكُمْ مِنَ ٱلْحَقْلِ. | ٥ 5 |
There will be so many of them that they'll cover the ground so no one can see it. They will eat whatever crops were left by the hail, as well as every tree growing in your fields.
| وَيَمْلَأُ بُيُوتَكَ وَبُيُوتَ جَمِيعِ عَبِيدِكَ وَبُيُوتَ جَمِيعِ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ، ٱلْأَمْرُ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ يَرَهُ آبَاؤُكَ وَلَا آبَاءُ آبَائِكَ مُنْذُ يَوْمَ وُجِدُوا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ». ثُمَّ تَحَوَّلَ وَخَرَجَ مِنْ لَدُنْ فِرْعَوْنَ. | ٦ 6 |
They will swarm into your houses and into the houses of all your officials—in fact into the houses of every Egyptian. This is something that none of your forefathers ever saw from the time they arrived in this country.’” Then Moses and Aaron turned and left Pharaoh.
| فَقَالَ عَبِيدُ فِرْعَوْنَ لَهُ: «إِلَى مَتَى يَكُونُ هَذَا لَنَا فَخًّا؟ أَطْلِقِ ٱلرِّجَالَ لِيَعْبُدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَهُمْ. أَلَمْ تَعْلَمْ بَعْدُ أَنَّ مِصْرَ قَدْ خَرِبَتْ؟». | ٧ 7 |
Pharaoh's officials came to him and asked, “How long are you going to let this man cause us trouble? Let these people go so they can worship the Lord their God. Don't you realize that Egypt has been destroyed?”
| فَرُدَّ مُوسَى وَهَارُونُ إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ، فَقَالَ لَهُمَا: «ٱذْهَبُوا ٱعْبُدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ. وَلَكِنْ مَنْ وَمَنْ هُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَذْهَبُونَ؟» | ٨ 8 |
Moses and Aaron were brought back to see Pharaoh. “Go and worship the Lord your God,” he told them. “But who of you will be going?”
| فَقَالَ مُوسَى: «نَذْهَبُ بِفِتْيَانِنَا وَشُيُوخِنَا. نَذْهَبُ بِبَنِينَا وَبَنَاتِنَا، بِغَنَمِنَا وَبَقَرِنَا، لِأَنَّ لَنَا عِيدًا لِلرَّبِّ». | ٩ 9 |
“We will all go,” Moses replied. “Young and old, sons and daughters—and we'll take our flocks and herds with us, for we're going to have a religious festival for the Lord.”
| فَقَالَ لَهُمَا: «يَكُونُ ٱلرَّبُّ مَعَكُمْ هَكَذَا كَمَا أُطْلِقُكُمْ وَأَوْلَادَكُمُ. ٱنْظُرُوا، إِنَّ قُدَّامَ وُجُوهِكُمْ شَرًّا. | ١٠ 10 |
“The Lord really would have to be with you if I let your children go with you!” Pharaoh answered. “Clearly you're planning some kind of evil trick!
| لَيْسَ هَكَذَا. اِذْهَبُوا أَنْتُمُ ٱلرِّجَالَ وَٱعْبُدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ. لِأَنَّكُمْ لِهَذَا طَالِبُونَ». فَطُرِدَا مِنْ لَدُنْ فِرْعَوْنَ. | ١١ 11 |
So no! Only the men can go and worship the Lord, because that's what you've been asking for.” Then he had Moses and Aaron thrown out.
| ثُمَّ قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «مُدَّ يَدَكَ عَلَى أَرْضِ مِصْرَ لِأَجْلِ ٱلْجَرَادِ، لِيَصْعَدَ عَلَى أَرْضِ مِصْرَ وَيَأْكُلَ كُلَّ عُشْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، كُلَّ مَا تَرَكَهُ ٱلْبَرَدُ». | ١٢ 12 |
The Lord told Moses, “Lift up your hand over Egypt, so that the locusts may swarm over it and eat every plant in the country—everything that was left by the hail.”
| فَمَدَّ مُوسَى عَصَاهُ عَلَى أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، فَجَلَبَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ رِيحًا شَرْقِيَّةً كُلَّ ذَلِكَ ٱلنَّهَارِ وَكُلَّ ٱللَّيْلِ. وَلَمَّا كَانَ ٱلصَّبَاحُ، حَمَلَتِ ٱلرِّيحُ ٱلشَّرْقِيَّةُ ٱلْجَرَادَ، | ١٣ 13 |
Moses held out his staff over Egypt, and all through that day and night the Lord sent an east wind blowing over the land. By the time morning came the east wind had brought in the locusts.
| فَصَعِدَ ٱلْجَرَادُ عَلَى كُلِّ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، وَحَلَّ فِي جَمِيعِ تُخُومِ مِصْرَ. شَيْءٌ ثَقِيلٌ جِدًّا لَمْ يَكُنْ قَبْلَهُ جَرَادٌ هَكَذَا مِثْلَهُ، وَلَا يَكُونُ بَعْدَهُ كَذَلِكَ، | ١٤ 14 |
The locusts swarmed across the land and settled in every part of the country. There had never been such a swarm of locusts ever before, and there won't be ever again.
| وَغَطَّى وَجْهَ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ حَتَّى أَظْلَمَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ. وَأَكَلَ جَمِيعَ عُشْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَجَمِيعَ ثَمَرِ ٱلشَّجَرِ ٱلَّذِي تَرَكَهُ ٱلْبَرَدُ، حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْقَ شَيْءٌ أَخْضَرُ فِي ٱلشَّجَرِ وَلَا فِي عُشْبِ ٱلْحَقْلِ فِي كُلِّ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ». | ١٥ 15 |
They covered the ground until it looked black, and they ate up all the plants in the fields and all the fruit on the trees that had been left by the hail. Not a single green leaf was left on any tree or plant anywhere in Egypt.
| فَدَعَا فِرْعَوْنُ مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ مُسْرِعًا وَقَالَ: «أَخْطَأْتُ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمَا وَإِلَيْكُمَا. | ١٦ 16 |
Pharaoh called urgently for Moses and Aaron and said, “I have sinned against the Lord your God and against you.
| وَٱلْآنَ ٱصْفَحَا عَنْ خَطِيَّتِي هَذِهِ ٱلْمَرَّةَ فَقَطْ، وَصَلِّيَا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمَا لِيَرْفَعَ عَنِّي هَذَا ٱلْمَوْتَ فَقَطْ». | ١٧ 17 |
So please forgive my sin just this one time and plead with the Lord your God, asking him to at least take away this deathly plague from me.”
| فَخَرَجَ مُوسَى مِنْ لَدُنْ فِرْعَوْنَ وَصَلَّى إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ. | ١٨ 18 |
Moses left Pharaoh and prayed to the Lord.
| فَرَدَّ ٱلرَّبُّ رِيحًا غَرْبِيَّةً شَدِيدَةً جِدًّا، فَحَمَلَتِ ٱلْجَرَادَ وَطَرَحَتْهُ إِلَى بَحْرِ سُوفَ. لَمْ تَبْقَ جَرَادَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ فِي كُلِّ تُخُومِ مِصْرَ. | ١٩ 19 |
The Lord changed the direction of the wind so that a strong westerly wind blew the locusts into the Red Sea. There wasn't a single locust left anywhere in Egypt.
| وَلَكِنْ شَدَّدَ ٱلرَّبُّ قَلْبَ فِرْعَوْنَ فَلَمْ يُطْلِقْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٢٠ 20 |
But the Lord made Pharaoh stubborn, and he would not let the Israelites go.
| ثُمَّ قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «مُدَّ يَدَكَ نَحْوَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ لِيَكُونَ ظَلَامٌ عَلَى أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، حَتَّى يُلْمَسُ ٱلظَّلَامُ». | ٢١ 21 |
The Lord told Moses, “Lift your hand toward the sky so that darkness will fall over Egypt, darkness so thick that it can be felt.”
| فَمَدَّ مُوسَى يَدَهُ نَحْوَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ فَكَانَ ظَلَامٌ دَامِسٌ فِي كُلِّ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ. | ٢٢ 22 |
Moses lifted up his hand toward heaven, and the whole of Egypt went completely dark for three days.
| لَمْ يُبْصِرْ أَحَدٌ أَخَاهُ، وَلَا قَامَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ. وَلَكِنْ جَمِيعُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ كَانَ لَهُمْ نُورٌ فِي مَسَاكِنِهِمْ. | ٢٣ 23 |
No one could see anyone else, and no one moved from where they were for three days. But there was still light where all the Israelites lived.
| فَدَعَا فِرْعَوْنُ مُوسَى وَقَالَ: «ٱذْهَبُوا ٱعْبُدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ. غَيْرَ أَنَّ غَنَمَكُمْ وَبَقَرَكُمْ تَبْقَى. أَوْلَادُكُمْ أَيْضًا تَذْهَبُ مَعَكُمْ». | ٢٤ 24 |
Eventually Pharaoh called for Moses. “Go and worship the Lord,” he said. “Just leave your flocks and herds here. You can even take your children with you.”
| فَقَالَ مُوسَى: «أَنْتَ تُعْطِي أَيْضًا فِي أَيْدِينَا ذَبَائِحَ وَمُحْرَقَاتٍ لِنَصْنَعَهَا لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا، | ٢٥ 25 |
But Moses replied, “You must also let us have animals for sacrifices and burnt offerings, so we can offer them to the Lord our God.
| فَتَذْهَبُ مَوَاشِينَا أَيْضًا مَعَنَا. لَا يَبْقَى ظِلْفٌ. لِأَنَّنَا مِنْهَا نَأْخُذُ لِعِبَادَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا. وَنَحْنُ لَا نَعْرِفُ بِمَاذَا نَعْبُدُ ٱلرَّبَّ حَتَّى نَأْتِيَ إِلَى هُنَاكَ». | ٢٦ 26 |
Our livestock have to go with us too—not a single animal will be left behind. We'll need some of them to worship the Lord our God, and we won't know how we are to worship the Lord until we get there.”
| وَلَكِنْ شَدَّدَ ٱلرَّبُّ قَلْبَ فِرْعَوْنَ فَلَمْ يَشَأْ أَنْ يُطْلِقَهُمْ. | ٢٧ 27 |
But the Lord made Pharaoh stubborn, and he would not let them go.
| وَقَالَ لَهُ فِرْعَوْنُ: «ٱذْهَبْ عَنِّي. اِحْتَرِزْ. لَا تَرَ وَجْهِي أَيْضًا. إِنَّكَ يَوْمَ تَرَى وَجْهِي تَمُوتُ». | ٢٨ 28 |
Pharaoh shouted at Moses, “Get out of here! I don't want to see you ever again! If I ever do see you again you'll die!”
| فَقَالَ مُوسَى: «نِعِمَّا قُلْتَ. أَنَا لَا أَعُودُ أَرَى وَجْهَكَ أَيْضًا». | ٢٩ 29 |
“May it be as you say,” Moses replied. “I won't see you again.”
