ثُمَّ قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «ٱدْخُلْ إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ، فَإِنِّي أَغْلَظْتُ قَلْبَهُ وَقُلُوبَ عَبِيدِهِ لِكَيْ أَصْنَعَ آيَاتِي هَذِهِ بَيْنَهُمْ. ١ 1
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “Go in to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I may show these my signs among them,
وَلِكَيْ تُخْبِرَ فِي مَسَامِعِ ٱبْنِكَ وَٱبْنِ ٱبْنِكَ بِمَا فَعَلْتُهُ فِي مِصْرَ، وَبِآيَاتِي ٱلَّتِي صَنَعْتُهَا بَيْنَهُمْ، فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ». ٢ 2
and that you may tell in the hearing of your son, and of your son’s son, what things I have done to Egypt [Abode of slavery], and my signs which I have done among them; that you may know that I am Adonai.”
فَدَخَلَ مُوسَى وَهَارُونُ إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ وَقَالَا لَهُ: «هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ ٱلْعِبْرَانِيِّينَ: إِلَى مَتَى تَأْبَى أَنْ تَخْضَعَ لِي؟ أَطْلِقْ شَعْبِي لِيَعْبُدُونِي. ٣ 3
Moses [Drawn out] and Aaron [Light-bringer] went in to Pharaoh, and said to him, “This is what Adonai, the God of the Hebrews, says: ‘How long will you refuse to humble yourself before me? Let my people go, that they may abad ·serve· me.
فَإِنَّهُ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَأْبَى أَنْ تُطْلِقَ شَعْبِي هَا أَنَا أَجِيءُ غَدًا بِجَرَادٍ عَلَى تُخُومِكَ، ٤ 4
Or else, if you refuse to let my people go, behold, tomorrow I will bring 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
and they shall cover the surface of the earth, so that one won’t be able to see the earth. They shall eat the residue of that which has escaped, which remains to you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which grows for you out of the field.
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
Your houses shall be filled, and the houses of all your servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery]; as neither your fathers nor your fathers’ fathers have seen, since the day that they were on the earth to this day.’” He turned, and went out from 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 servants said to him, “How long will this man be a snare to us? Let the men go, that they may abad ·serve· Adonai, their God. Don’t you yet know that Egypt [Abode of slavery] is destroyed?”
فَرُدَّ مُوسَى وَهَارُونُ إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ، فَقَالَ لَهُمَا: «ٱذْهَبُوا ٱعْبُدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ. وَلَكِنْ مَنْ وَمَنْ هُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَذْهَبُونَ؟» ٨ 8
Moses [Drawn out] and Aaron [Light-bringer] were brought again to Pharaoh, and he said to them, “Go, abad ·serve· Adonai your God; but who are those who will go?”
فَقَالَ مُوسَى: «نَذْهَبُ بِفِتْيَانِنَا وَشُيُوخِنَا. نَذْهَبُ بِبَنِينَا وَبَنَاتِنَا، بِغَنَمِنَا وَبَقَرِنَا، لِأَنَّ لَنَا عِيدًا لِلرَّبِّ». ٩ 9
Moses [Drawn out] said, “We will go with our young and with our old; with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for we must hold a feast to Adonai.”
فَقَالَ لَهُمَا: «يَكُونُ ٱلرَّبُّ مَعَكُمْ هَكَذَا كَمَا أُطْلِقُكُمْ وَأَوْلَادَكُمُ. ٱنْظُرُوا، إِنَّ قُدَّامَ وُجُوهِكُمْ شَرًّا. ١٠ 10
He said to them, “Adonai be with you if I will let you go with your little ones! See, evil is clearly before your faces.
لَيْسَ هَكَذَا. اِذْهَبُوا أَنْتُمُ ٱلرِّجَالَ وَٱعْبُدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ. لِأَنَّكُمْ لِهَذَا طَالِبُونَ». فَطُرِدَا مِنْ لَدُنْ فِرْعَوْنَ. ١١ 11
Not so! Go now you who are men, and abad ·serve· Adonai; for that is what you desire!” They were divorced from Pharaoh’s presence.
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
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery] for the locusts, that they may come up on the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail has left.”
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 [Drawn out] stretched out his rod over the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], and Adonai brought an east wind on the land all that day, and all night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought 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 went up over all the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], and rested in all the borders of Egypt [Abode of slavery]. They were very grievous. Before them there were no such locusts as they, nor will there ever be 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
For they covered the surface of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened, and they ate every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left. There remained nothing green, either tree or herb of the field, through all the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery].
فَدَعَا فِرْعَوْنُ مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ مُسْرِعًا وَقَالَ: «أَخْطَأْتُ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمَا وَإِلَيْكُمَا. ١٦ 16
Then Pharaoh called for Moses [Drawn out] and Aaron [Light-bringer] in haste, and he said, “I have sinned against Adonai your God, and against you.
وَٱلْآنَ ٱصْفَحَا عَنْ خَطِيَّتِي هَذِهِ ٱلْمَرَّةَ فَقَطْ، وَصَلِّيَا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمَا لِيَرْفَعَ عَنِّي هَذَا ٱلْمَوْتَ فَقَطْ». ١٧ 17
Now therefore please forgive my sin again, and pray to Adonai your God, that he may also take away from me this death.”
فَخَرَجَ مُوسَى مِنْ لَدُنْ فِرْعَوْنَ وَصَلَّى إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ. ١٨ 18
He went out from Pharaoh, and prayed to Adonai.
فَرَدَّ ٱلرَّبُّ رِيحًا غَرْبِيَّةً شَدِيدَةً جِدًّا، فَحَمَلَتِ ٱلْجَرَادَ وَطَرَحَتْهُ إِلَى بَحْرِ سُوفَ. لَمْ تَبْقَ جَرَادَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ فِي كُلِّ تُخُومِ مِصْرَ. ١٩ 19
Adonai turned an exceeding strong west wind, which took up the locusts, and drove them into the Sea of Suf [Reed Sea]. There remained not one locust in all the borders of Egypt [Abode of slavery].
وَلَكِنْ شَدَّدَ ٱلرَّبُّ قَلْبَ فِرْعَوْنَ فَلَمْ يُطْلِقْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٢٠ 20
But Adonai hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he didn’t let the children of Israel [God prevails] go.
ثُمَّ قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «مُدَّ يَدَكَ نَحْوَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ لِيَكُونَ ظَلَامٌ عَلَى أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، حَتَّى يُلْمَسُ ٱلظَّلَامُ». ٢١ 21
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “Stretch out your hand toward the sky, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], even darkness which may be felt.”
فَمَدَّ مُوسَى يَدَهُ نَحْوَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ فَكَانَ ظَلَامٌ دَامِسٌ فِي كُلِّ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ. ٢٢ 22
Moses [Drawn out] stretched out his hand toward the sky, and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery] 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
They didn’t see one another, and nobody rose from his place for three days; but all the children of Israel [God prevails] had light in their dwellings.
فَدَعَا فِرْعَوْنُ مُوسَى وَقَالَ: «ٱذْهَبُوا ٱعْبُدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ. غَيْرَ أَنَّ غَنَمَكُمْ وَبَقَرَكُمْ تَبْقَى. أَوْلَادُكُمْ أَيْضًا تَذْهَبُ مَعَكُمْ». ٢٤ 24
Pharaoh called to Moses [Drawn out], and said, “Go, abad ·serve· Adonai. Only let your flocks and your herds stay behind. Let your little ones also go with you.”
فَقَالَ مُوسَى: «أَنْتَ تُعْطِي أَيْضًا فِي أَيْدِينَا ذَبَائِحَ وَمُحْرَقَاتٍ لِنَصْنَعَهَا لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا، ٢٥ 25
Moses [Drawn out] said, “You must also give into our hand sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice to Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh 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 also shall go with us. Not a hoof shall be left behind, for of it we must take to serve Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God]; and we don’t know with what we must serve Adonai, until we come there.”
وَلَكِنْ شَدَّدَ ٱلرَّبُّ قَلْبَ فِرْعَوْنَ فَلَمْ يَشَأْ أَنْ يُطْلِقَهُمْ. ٢٧ 27
But Adonai hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he wouldn’t let them go.
وَقَالَ لَهُ فِرْعَوْنُ: «ٱذْهَبْ عَنِّي. اِحْتَرِزْ. لَا تَرَ وَجْهِي أَيْضًا. إِنَّكَ يَوْمَ تَرَى وَجْهِي تَمُوتُ». ٢٨ 28
Pharaoh said to him, “Get away from me! Be careful to see my face no more; for in the day you see my face you shall die!”
فَقَالَ مُوسَى: «نِعِمَّا قُلْتَ. أَنَا لَا أَعُودُ أَرَى وَجْهَكَ أَيْضًا». ٢٩ 29
Moses [Drawn out] said, “You have spoken well. I will see your face again no more.”
