< اَلْخُرُوجُ 19 >
| فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلثَّالِثِ بَعْدَ خُرُوجِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ جَاءُوا إِلَى بَرِّيَّةِ سِينَاءَ. | ١ 1 |
The Israeli people then left Rephidim, and exactly two months after leaving Egypt, they/we came to the desert near Sinai [Mountain]. They/We set up their/our tents at the base of the mountain.
| ٱرْتَحَلُوا مِنْ رَفِيدِيمَ وَجَاءُوا إِلَى بَرِّيَّةِ سِينَاءَ فَنَزَلُوا فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. هُنَاكَ نَزَلَ إِسْرَائِيلُ مُقَابِلَ ٱلْجَبَلِ. | ٢ 2 |
| وَأَمَّا مُوسَى فَصَعِدَ إِلَى ٱللهِ. فَنَادَاهُ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنَ ٱلْجَبَلِ قَائِلًا: «هَكَذَا تَقُولُ لِبَيْتِ يَعْقُوبَ، وَتُخْبِرُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: | ٣ 3 |
Moses/I climbed up the mountain [to talk with] God. Yahweh called to [him/me] from [the top of] the mountain and said, “This is what I want you to say to the Israeli people, the descendants of Jacob:
| أَنْتُمْ رَأَيْتُمْ مَا صَنَعْتُ بِٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ. وَأَنَا حَمَلْتُكُمْ عَلَى أَجْنِحَةِ ٱلنُّسُورِ وَجِئْتُ بِكُمْ إِلَيَّ. | ٤ 4 |
‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians. You have seen [what I did for all of you] and how I brought you here to me. It was as though I [lifted you up as] an eagle [carries its young eaglets] on its wings [MET].
| فَٱلْآنَ إِنْ سَمِعْتُمْ لِصَوْتِي، وَحَفِظْتُمْ عَهْدِي تَكُونُونَ لِي خَاصَّةً مِنْ بَيْنِ جَمِيعِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ. فَإِنَّ لِي كُلَّ ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٥ 5 |
So now, if you will do what I tell you and obey all that I command you, you will be my own people. All the people-groups on the earth are mine, but you will be (dearer/more special) to me than all the other people-groups.
| وَأَنْتُمْ تَكُونُونَ لِي مَمْلَكَةَ كَهَنَةٍ وَأُمَّةً مُقَدَّسَةً. هَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلْكَلِمَاتُ ٱلَّتِي تُكَلِّمُ بِهَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ». | ٦ 6 |
You will be people over whom I will rule, and you will all (be like priests/represent me to other nations as priests represent me to one nation) [MET], and you will be completely dedicated to me.’ That is what you must tell the Israeli people.”
| فَجَاءَ مُوسَى وَدَعَا شُيُوخَ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَوَضَعَ قُدَّامَهُمْ كُلَّ هَذِهِ ٱلْكَلِمَاتِ ٱلَّتِي أَوْصَاهُ بِهَا ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٧ 7 |
So Moses/I went [down the mountain] and summoned the elders/leaders of the people. He/I told them everything that Yahweh had told him/me to tell them.
| فَأَجَابَ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ مَعًا وَقَالُوا: «كُلُّ مَا تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ نَفْعَلُ». فَرَدَّ مُوسَى كَلَامَ ٱلشَّعْبِ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٨ 8 |
The people all said, “We will do everything that Yahweh has told us to do.” Then Moses/I [climbed back up the mountain and] reported to Yahweh what the people had said.
| فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «هَا أَنَا آتٍ إِلَيْكَ فِي ظَلَامِ ٱلسَّحَابِ لِكَيْ يَسْمَعَ ٱلشَّعْبُ حِينَمَا أَتَكَلَّمُ مَعَكَ، فَيُؤْمِنُوا بِكَ أَيْضًا إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ». وَأَخْبَرَ مُوسَى ٱلرَّبَّ بِكَلَامِ ٱلشَّعْبِ. | ٩ 9 |
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “[Listen carefully]: I am going to appear to you from inside a thick cloud. When I am speaking to you, the people will hear it, and they will always trust in you.” Then Moses/I went [down the mountain and reported to the people what Yahweh said. Then he/I went back up the mountain and] told Yahweh what the people replied.
| فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «ٱذْهَبْ إِلَى ٱلشَّعْبِ وَقَدِّسْهُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ وَغَدًا، وَلْيَغْسِلُوا ثِيَابَهُمْ، | ١٠ 10 |
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Go [back down] to the people [again]. [Tell them to] purify themselves today and tomorrow. [Tell them to] wash their clothes, too.
| وَيَكُونُوا مُسْتَعِدِّينَ لِلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ. لِأَنَّهُ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ يَنْزِلُ ٱلرَّبُّ أَمَامَ عْيُونِ جَمِيعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ عَلَى جَبَلِ سِينَاءَ. | ١١ 11 |
They must do that to be ready on the day after tomorrow. On that day I will come down to Sinai Mountain to where all the people can see me.
| وَتُقِيمُ لِلشَّعْبِ حُدُودًا مِنْ كُلِّ نَاحِيَةٍ، قَائِلًا: ٱحْتَرِزُوا مِنْ أَنْ تَصْعَدُوا إِلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ أَوْ تَمَسُّوا طَرَفَهُ. كُلُّ مَنْ يَمَسُّ ٱلْجَبَلَ يُقْتَلُ قَتْلًا. | ١٢ 12 |
You must make a boundary around the base of the mountain, and tell them, ‘Be sure that you do not climb the mountain or even go near it. Anyone who even touches the base of the mountain must be executed.’
| لَا تَمَسُّهُ يَدٌ بَلْ يُرْجَمُ رَجْمًا أَوْ يُرْمَى رَمْيًا. بَهِيمَةً كَانَ أَمْ إِنْسَانًا لَا يَعِيشُ. أَمَّا عِنْدَ صَوْتِ ٱلْبُوقِ فَهُمْ يَصْعَدُونَ إِلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ». | ١٣ 13 |
Do not let anyone touch any person or any animal that touches the mountain. You must [kill any person or animal that touches the mountain] by throwing stones at it or shooting it [with arrows]. But when you hear a long [loud] trumpet sound, the people can come close to the [base of the] mountain.”
| فَٱنْحَدَرَ مُوسَى مِنَ ٱلْجَبَلِ إِلَى ٱلشَّعْبِ، وَقَدَّسَ ٱلشَّعْبَ وَغَسَلُوا ثِيَابَهُمْ. | ١٤ 14 |
So Moses/I went down the mountain [again] and told the people to purify themselves. They did what Moses/I told them to do, and they also washed their clothes.
| وَقَالَ لِلشَّعْبِ: «كُونُوا مُسْتَعِدِّينَ لِلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ. لَا تَقْرُبُوا ٱمْرَأَةً». | ١٥ 15 |
Then Moses/I said to the people, “Be ready on the day after tomorrow. And [you men] must not have sex with [EUP] [your wives] until after then.”
| وَحَدَثَ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ لَمَّا كَانَ ٱلصَّبَاحُ أَنَّهُ صَارَتْ رُعُودٌ وَبُرُوقٌ وَسَحَابٌ ثَقِيلٌ عَلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ، وَصَوْتُ بُوقٍ شَدِيدٌ جِدًّا. فَٱرْتَعَدَ كُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ. | ١٦ 16 |
Two days later, during the morning, there was thunder and lightning, and a very dark cloud on the mountain. A trumpet sounded very loudly, with the result that the people in the camp shook/trembled because they [were very afraid].
| وَأَخْرَجَ مُوسَى ٱلشَّعْبَ مِنَ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ لِمُلَاقَاةِ ٱللهِ، فَوَقَفُوا فِي أَسْفَلِ ٱلْجَبَلِ. | ١٧ 17 |
Then Moses/I led the people outside the camp to meet with God. They stood at the base of the mountain.
| وَكَانَ جَبَلُ سِينَاءَ كُلُّهُ يُدَخِّنُ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ نَزَلَ عَلَيْهِ بِٱلنَّارِ، وَصَعِدَ دُخَانُهُ كَدُخَانِ ٱلْأَتُونِ، وَٱرْتَجَفَ كُلُّ ٱلْجَبَلِ جِدًّا. | ١٨ 18 |
All of Sinai Mountain was covered in smoke, because Yahweh had descended on it, surrounded by a fire. The smoke rose up like the smoke from [the chimney of] a furnace, and the whole mountain shook violently.
| فَكَانَ صَوْتُ ٱلْبُوقِ يَزْدَادُ ٱشْتِدَادًا جِدًّا، وَمُوسَى يَتَكَلَّمُ وَٱللهُ يُجِيبُهُ بِصَوْتٍ. | ١٩ 19 |
As the sound of the trumpet continued to become louder, Moses/I spoke [to Yahweh], and Yahweh answered [him/me] in [a loud voice that sounded like] thunder.
| وَنَزَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَى جَبَلِ سِينَاءَ، إِلَى رَأْسِ ٱلْجَبَلِ، وَدَعَا ٱللهُ مُوسَى إِلَى رَأْسِ ٱلْجَبَلِ. فَصَعِدَ مُوسَى. | ٢٠ 20 |
Then Yahweh came down [again] onto the top of Sinai Mountain, and he summoned Moses/me to come up to the top of the mountain. So Moses/I went up.
| فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «ٱنْحَدِرْ حَذِّرِ ٱلشَّعْبَ لِئَلَّا يَقْتَحِمُوا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ لِيَنْظُرُوا، فَيَسْقُطَ مِنْهُمْ كَثِيرُونَ. | ٢١ 21 |
Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Go down again and warn the people not to cross the boundary in order to look [at me]. If they [do] that, many of them will die.
| وَلْيَتَقَدَّسْ أَيْضًا ٱلْكَهَنَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَقْتَرِبُونَ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ لِئَلَّا يَبْطِشَ بِهِمِ ٱلرَّبُّ». | ٢٢ 22 |
Also, the priests who habitually come near me must purify themselves. If they do not do that, I will punish them.”
| فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِلرَّبِّ: «لَا يَقْدِرُ ٱلشَّعْبُ أَنْ يَصْعَدَ إِلَى جَبَلِ سِينَاءَ، لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ حَذَّرْتَنَا قَائِلًا: أَقِمْ حُدُودًا لِلْجَبَلِ وَقَدِّسْهُ». | ٢٣ 23 |
Then Moses/I said to Yahweh, “The people will not climb the mountain, because you commanded them, saying, ‘Set a boundary around the mountain, to make it sacred/taboo.’”
| فَقَالَ لَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ: «ٱذْهَبِ ٱنْحَدِرْ ثُمَّ ٱصْعَدْ أَنْتَ وَهَارُونُ مَعَكَ. وَأَمَّا ٱلْكَهَنَةُ وَٱلشَّعْبُ فَلَا يَقْتَحِمُوا لِيَصْعَدُوا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ لِئَلَّا يَبْطِشَ بِهِمْ». | ٢٤ 24 |
Yahweh replied, “Go down the mountain, and bring Aaron back up with you. But do not allow the priests or other people to cross the boundary to come up to me. If they cross it, I will punish them.”
| فَٱنْحَدَرَ مُوسَى إِلَى ٱلشَّعْبِ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ. | ٢٥ 25 |
So Moses/I went down the mountain [again] and told the people [what Yahweh had said].
