اَلْخُرُوجُ 14
| وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُ مُوسَى قَائِلًا: | ١ 1 |
Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
| «كَلِّمْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يَرْجِعُوا وَيَنْزِلُوا أَمَامَ فَمِ ٱلْحِيرُوثِ بَيْنَ مَجْدَلَ وَٱلْبَحْرِ، أَمَامَ بَعْلَ صَفُونَ. مُقَابِلَهُ تَنْزِلُونَ عِنْدَ ٱلْبَحْرِ. | ٢ 2 |
“Say to the Israelites that they should turn and camp before Pi Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal Zephon. You are to camp by the sea opposite Pi Hahiroth.
| فَيَقُولُ فِرْعَوْنُ عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: هُمْ مُرْتَبِكُونَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. قَدِ ٱسْتَغْلَقَ عَلَيْهِمِ ٱلْقَفْرُ. | ٣ 3 |
Pharaoh will say about the Israelites, 'They are wandering in the land. The wilderness has closed in on them.'
| وَأُشَدِّدُ قَلْبَ فِرْعَوْنَ حَتَّى يَسْعَى وَرَاءَهُمْ، فَأَتَمَجَّدُ بِفِرْعَوْنَ وَبِجَمِيعِ جَيْشِهِ، وَيَعْرِفُ ٱلْمِصْرِيُّونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ». فَفَعَلُوا هَكَذَا. | ٤ 4 |
I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and he will pursue them. I will get honor because of Pharaoh and all his army. The Egyptians will know that I am Yahweh.” So the Israelites camped as they were instructed.
| فَلَمَّا أُخْبِرَ مَلِكُ مِصْرَ أَنَّ ٱلشَّعْبَ قَدْ هَرَبَ، تَغَيَّرَ قَلْبُ فِرْعَوْنَ وَعَبِيدِهِ عَلَى ٱلشَّعْبِ. فَقَالُوا: «مَاذَا فَعَلْنَا حَتَّى أَطْلَقْنَا إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ خِدْمَتِنَا؟» | ٥ 5 |
When the king of Egypt was told that the Israelites had fled, the minds of Pharaoh and his servants turned against the people. They said, “What have we done? We have released Israel from serving us.”
| فَشَدَّ مَرْكَبَتَهُ وَأَخَذَ قَوْمَهُ مَعَهُ. | ٦ 6 |
Then Pharaoh got his chariots ready and took his army with him.
| وَأَخَذَ سِتَّ مِئَةِ مَرْكَبَةٍ مُنْتَخَبَةٍ وَسَائِرَ مَرْكَبَاتِ مِصْرَ وَجُنُودًا مَرْكَبِيَّةً عَلَى جَمِيعِهَا. | ٧ 7 |
He took six hundred chosen chariots and all the other chariots of Egypt, with officers on all of them.
| وَشَدَّدَ ٱلرَّبُّ قَلْبَ فِرْعَوْنَ مَلِكِ مِصْرَ حَتَّى سَعَى وَرَاءَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَبَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ خَارِجُونَ بِيَدٍ رَفِيعَةٍ. | ٨ 8 |
Yahweh hardened the heart of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and the king pursued the Israelites. Now the Israelites had gone away in triumph.
| فَسَعَى ٱلْمِصْرِيُّونَ وَرَاءَهُمْ وَأَدْرَكُوهُمْ. جَمِيعُ خَيْلِ مَرْكَبَاتِ فِرْعَوْنَ وَفُرْسَانِهِ وَجَيْشِهِ، وَهُمْ نَازِلُونَ عِنْدَ ٱلْبَحْرِ عِنْدَ فَمِ ٱلْحِيرُوثِ، أَمَامَ بَعْلَ صَفُونَ. | ٩ 9 |
But the Egyptians pursued them, together with all his horses and chariots, his horsemen, and his army. They overtook the Israelites camping by the sea beside Pi Hahiroth, before Baal Zephon.
| فَلَمَّا ٱقْتَرَبَ فِرْعَوْنُ رَفَعَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ عُيُونَهُمْ، وَإِذَا ٱلْمِصْرِيُّونَ رَاحِلُونَ وَرَاءَهُمْ. فَفَزِعُوِا جِدًّا، وَصَرَخَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ. | ١٠ 10 |
When Pharaoh came close, the Israelites looked up and were surprised. The Egyptians were marching after them, and they were terrified. The Israelites cried out to Yahweh.
| وَقَالُوا لِمُوسَى: «هَلْ لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَتْ قُبُورٌ فِي مِصْرَ أَخَذْتَنَا لِنَمُوتَ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ؟ مَاذَا صَنَعْتَ بِنَا حَتَّى أَخْرَجْتَنَا مِنْ مِصْرَ؟ | ١١ 11 |
They said to Moses, “Is it because there were no graves in Egypt, that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you treated us like this, bringing us out of Egypt?
| أَلَيْسَ هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْكَلَامُ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمْنَاكَ بِهِ فِي مِصْرَ قَائِلِينَ: كُفَّ عَنَّا فَنَخْدِمَ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ؟ لِأَنَّهُ خَيْرٌ لَنَا أَنْ نَخْدِمَ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ مِنْ أَنْ نَمُوتَ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ». | ١٢ 12 |
Is this not what we told you in Egypt? We said to you, 'Leave us alone, so we can work for the Egyptians.' It would have been better for us to work for them than to die in the wilderness.”
| فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِلشَّعْبِ: «لَا تَخَافُوا. قِفُوا وَٱنْظُرُوا خَلَاصَ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي يَصْنَعُهُ لَكُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ. فَإِنَّهُ كَمَا رَأَيْتُمُ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ ٱلْيَوْمَ، لَا تَعُودُونَ تَرَوْنَهُمْ أَيْضًا إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. | ١٣ 13 |
Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still and see the rescue that Yahweh will provide for you today. For you will never see again the Egyptians whom you see today.
| ٱلرَّبُّ يُقَاتِلُ عَنْكُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ تَصْمُتُونَ». | ١٤ 14 |
Yahweh will fight for you, and you will only have to stand still.”
| فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «مَا لَكَ تَصْرُخُ إِلَيَّ؟ قُلْ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يَرْحَلُوا. | ١٥ 15 |
Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Why are you, Moses, continuing to call out to me? Tell the Israelites to go forward.
| وَٱرْفَعْ أَنْتَ عَصَاكَ وَمُدَّ يَدَكَ عَلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ وَشُقَّهُ، فَيَدْخُلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْبَحْرِ عَلَى ٱلْيَابِسَةِ. | ١٦ 16 |
Lift up your staff, reach out with your hand over the sea and divide it in two, so that the people of Israel may go through the sea on dry ground.
| وَهَا أَنَا أُشَدِّدُ قُلُوبَ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ حَتَّى يَدْخُلُوا وَرَاءَهُمْ، فَأَتَمَجَّدُ بِفِرْعَوْنَ وَكُلِّ جَيْشِهِ، بِمَرْكَبَاتِهِ وَفُرْسَانِهِ. | ١٧ 17 |
Be aware that I will harden the Egyptians' hearts so they will go after them. I will get honor because of Pharaoh and all his army, his chariots, and his horsemen.
| فَيَعْرِفُ ٱلْمِصْرِيُّونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ حِينَ أَتَمَجَّدُ بِفِرْعَوْنَ وَمَرْكَبَاتِهِ وَفُرْسَانِهِ». | ١٨ 18 |
Then the Egyptians will know that I am Yahweh when I have gotten honor because of Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen.”
| فَٱنْتَقَلَ مَلَاكُ ٱللهِ ٱلسَّائِرُ أَمَامَ عَسْكَرِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَسَارَ وَرَاءَهُمْ، وَٱنْتَقَلَ عَمُودُ ٱلسَّحَابِ مِنْ أَمَامِهِمْ وَوَقَفَ وَرَاءَهُمْ. | ١٩ 19 |
The angel of God, who went before the Israelites, moved and went behind them. The pillar of cloud moved from before them and went to stand behind them.
| فَدَخَلَ بَيْنَ عَسْكَرِ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ وَعَسْكَرِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَصَارَ ٱلسَّحَابُ وَٱلظَّلَامُ وَأَضَاءَ ٱللَّيْلَ. فَلَمْ يَقْتَرِبْ هَذَا إِلَى ذَاكَ كُلَّ ٱللَّيْلِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
The cloud came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel. It was a dark cloud to the Egyptians, but it lit the night for the Israelites, so one side did not come near the other all night.
| وَمَدَّ مُوسَى يَدَهُ عَلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ، فَأَجْرَى ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْبَحْرَ بِرِيحٍ شَرْقِيَّةٍ شَدِيدَةٍ كُلَّ ٱللَّيْلِ، وَجَعَلَ ٱلْبَحْرَ يَابِسَةً وَٱنْشَقَّ ٱلْمَاءُ. | ٢١ 21 |
Moses reached out with his hand over the sea. Yahweh drove the sea back by a strong east wind all that night and made the sea into dry land. In this way the waters were divided.
| فَدَخَلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْبَحْرِ عَلَى ٱلْيَابِسَةِ، وَٱلْمَاءُ سُورٌ لَهُمْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِمْ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِمْ. | ٢٢ 22 |
The Israelites went into the middle of the sea on dry ground. The waters formed a wall for them on their right hand and on their left.
| وَتَبِعَهُمُ ٱلْمِصْرِيُّونَ وَدَخَلُوا وَرَاءَهُمْ. جَمِيعُ خَيْلِ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَرْكَبَاتِهِ وَفُرْسَانِهِ إِلَى وَسَطِ ٱلْبَحْرِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
The Egyptians pursued them. They went after them into the middle of the sea—all Pharaoh's horses, chariots, and horsemen.
| وَكَانَ فِي هَزِيعِ ٱلصُّبْحِ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ أَشْرَفَ عَلَى عَسْكَرِ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ فِي عَمُودِ ٱلنَّارِ وَٱلسَّحَابِ، وَأَزْعَجَ عَسْكَرَ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ، | ٢٤ 24 |
But in the early morning hours, Yahweh looked down on the Egyptian army through the pillar of fire and cloud. He caused panic among the Egyptians.
| وَخَلَعَ بَكَرَ مَرْكَبَاتِهِمْ حَتَّى سَاقُوهَا بِثَقْلَةٍ. فَقَالَ ٱلْمِصْرِيُّونَ: «نَهْرُبُ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يُقَاتِلُ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ عَنْهُمْ». | ٢٥ 25 |
Their chariot wheels were clogged, and the horsemen drove with difficulty. So the Egyptians said, “Let us flee from Israel, for Yahweh is fighting for them against us.”
| فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «مُدَّ يَدَكَ عَلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ لِيَرْجِعَ ٱلْمَاءُ عَلَى ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ، عَلَى مَرْكَبَاتِهِمْ وَفُرْسَانِهِمْ». | ٢٦ 26 |
Yahweh said to Moses, “Reach out with your hand over the sea so that the waters may come back onto the Egyptians, their chariots, and their horsemen.”
| فَمَدَّ مُوسَى يَدَهُ عَلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ فَرَجَعَ ٱلْبَحْرُ عِنْدَ إِقْبَالِ ٱلصُّبْحِ إِلَى حَالِهِ ٱلدَّائِمَةِ، وَٱلْمِصْرِيُّونَ هَارِبُونَ إِلَى لِقَائِهِ. فَدَفَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْبَحْرِ. | ٢٧ 27 |
So Moses reached out with his hand over the sea, and it returned to its normal course when the morning appeared. The Egyptians fled into the sea, and Yahweh drove the Egyptians into the middle of it.
| فَرَجَعَ ٱلْمَاءُ وَغَطَّى مَرْكَبَاتِ وَفُرْسَانَ جَمِيعِ جَيْشِ فِرْعَوْنَ ٱلَّذِي دَخَلَ وَرَاءَهُمْ فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ. لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْهُمْ وَلَا وَاحِدٌ. | ٢٨ 28 |
The waters came back and covered Pharaoh's chariots, horsemen, and his entire army that had followed the chariots into the sea. No one survived.
| وَأَمَّا بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فَمَشَوْا عَلَى ٱلْيَابِسَةِ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْبَحْرِ، وَٱلْمَاءُ سُورٌ لَهُمْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِمْ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِمْ. | ٢٩ 29 |
However, the Israelites walked on dry land in the middle of the sea. The waters were a wall for them on their right hand and on their left.
| فَخَلَّصَ ٱلرَّبُّ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ. وَنَظَرَ إِسْرَائِيلُ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ أَمْوَاتًا عَلَى شَاطِئِ ٱلْبَحْرِ. | ٣٠ 30 |
So Yahweh saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw dead Egyptians on the seashore.
| وَرَأَى إِسْرَائِيلُ ٱلْفِعْلَ ٱلْعَظِيمَ ٱلَّذِي صَنَعَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ بِٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ، فَخَافَ ٱلشَّعْبُ ٱلرَّبَّ وَآمَنُوا بِٱلرَّبِّ وَبِعَبْدِهِ مُوسَى. | ٣١ 31 |
When Israel saw the great power that Yahweh used against the Egyptians, the people honored Yahweh, and they trusted in Yahweh and in his servant Moses.
