اَلْخُرُوجُ 2
| وَذَهَبَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَيْتِ لَاوِي وَأَخَذَ بِنْتَ لَاوِي، | ١ 1 |
A man of the house of Levi [United with] went and took a daughter of Levi [United with] as his wife.
| فَحَبِلَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ وَوَلَدَتِ ٱبْنًا. وَلَمَّا رَأَتْهُ أَنَّهُ حَسَنٌ، خَبَّأَتْهُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَشْهُرٍ. | ٢ 2 |
The woman conceived, and bore a son, upon seeing what a fine child he was, she hid him three months.
| وَلَمَّا لَمْ يُمْكِنْهَا أَنْ تُخَبِّئَهُ بَعْدُ، أَخَذَتْ لَهُ سَفَطًا مِنَ ٱلْبَرْدِيِّ وَطَلَتْهُ بِٱلْحُمَرِ وَٱلزِّفْتِ، وَوَضَعَتِ ٱلْوَلَدَ فِيهِ، وَوَضَعَتْهُ بَيْنَ ٱلْحَلْفَاءِ عَلَى حَافَةِ ٱلنَّهْرِ. | ٣ 3 |
When she could no longer hide him, she took a papyrus basket for him, and coated it with tar and with pitch. She put the child in it, and laid it in the reeds by the river’s bank.
| وَوَقَفَتْ أُخْتُهُ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ لِتَعْرِفَ مَاذَا يُفْعَلُ بِهِ. | ٤ 4 |
His sister stood far off, to see what would be done to him.
| فَنَزَلَتِ ٱبْنَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ إِلَى ٱلنَّهْرِ لِتَغْتَسِلَ، وَكَانَتْ جَوَارِيهَا مَاشِيَاتٍ عَلَى جَانِبِ ٱلنَّهْرِ. فَرَأَتِ ٱلسَّفَطَ بَيْنَ ٱلْحَلْفَاءِ، فَأَرْسَلَتْ أَمَتَهَا وَأَخَذَتْهُ. | ٥ 5 |
Pharaoh’s daughter came down to bathe at the river. Her maidens walked along by the riverside. She saw the basket among the reeds, and sent her servant to get it.
| وَلَمَّا فَتَحَتْهُ رَأَتِ ٱلْوَلَدَ، وَإِذَا هُوَ صَبِيٌّ يَبْكِي. فَرَقَّتْ لَهُ وَقَالَتْ: «هَذَا مِنْ أَوْلَادِ ٱلْعِبْرَانِيِّينَ». | ٦ 6 |
She opened it, and saw the child, and behold, the baby cried. She had compassion on him, and said, “This is one of the Hebrews’ children.”
| فَقَالَتْ أُخْتُهُ لِٱبْنَةِ فِرْعَوْنَ: «هَلْ أَذْهَبُ وَأَدْعُو لَكِ ٱمْرَأَةً مُرْضِعَةً مِنَ ٱلْعِبْرَانِيَّاتِ لِتُرْضِعَ لَكِ ٱلْوَلَدَ؟» | ٧ 7 |
Then his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, “Should I go and call a nurse for you from the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for you?”
| فَقَالَتْ لَهَا ٱبْنَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ: «ٱذْهَبِي». فَذَهَبَتِ ٱلْفَتَاةُ وَدَعَتْ أُمَّ ٱلْوَلَدِ. | ٨ 8 |
Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Go.” The maiden went and called the child’s mother.
| فَقَالَتْ لَهَا ٱبْنَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ: «ٱذْهَبِي بِهَذَا ٱلْوَلَدِ وَأَرْضِعِيهِ لِي وَأَنَا أُعْطِي أُجْرَتَكِ». فَأَخَذَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ ٱلْوَلَدَ وَأَرْضَعَتْهُ. | ٩ 9 |
Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this child away, and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages.” The woman took the child, and nursed it.
| وَلَمَّا كَبِرَ ٱلْوَلَدُ جَاءَتْ بِهِ إِلَى ٱبْنَةِ فِرْعَوْنَ فَصَارَ لَهَا ٱبْنًا، وَدَعَتِ ٱسْمَهُ «مُوسَى» وَقَالَتْ: «إِنِّي ٱنْتَشَلْتُهُ مِنَ ٱلْمَاءِ». | ١٠ 10 |
The child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. She named him Moses [Drawn out], and said, “Because I drew him out of the water.”
| وَحَدَثَ فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لَمَّا كَبِرَ مُوسَى أَنَّهُ خَرَجَ إِلَى إِخْوَتِهِ لِيَنْظُرَ فِي أَثْقَالِهِمْ، فَرَأَى رَجُلًا مِصْرِيًّا يَضْرِبُ رَجُلًا عِبْرَانِيًّا مِنْ إِخْوَتِهِ، | ١١ 11 |
In those days, when Moses [Drawn out] had grown up, he went out to his brothers, and looked at their burdens. He saw an Egyptian [person from Abode of slavery] striking a Hebrew [Immigrant], one of his brothers.
| فَٱلْتَفَتَ إِلَى هُنَا وَهُنَاكَ وَرَأَى أَنْ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ، فَقَتَلَ ٱلْمِصْرِيَّ وَطَمَرَهُ فِي ٱلرَّمْلِ. | ١٢ 12 |
He looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no one, he killed the Egyptian [person from Abode of slavery], and hid him in the sand.
| ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّانِي وَإِذَا رَجُلَانِ عِبْرَانِيَّانِ يَتَخَاصَمَانِ، فَقَالَ لِلْمُذْنِبِ: «لِمَاذَا تَضْرِبُ صَاحِبَكَ؟» | ١٣ 13 |
He went out the second day, and behold, two men of the Hebrews [Immigrants] were fighting with each other. He said to him who did the wrong, “Why do you strike your fellow?”
| فَقَالَ: «مَنْ جَعَلَكَ رَئِيسًا وَقَاضِيًا عَلَيْنَا؟ أَمُفْتَكِرٌ أَنْتَ بِقَتْلِي كَمَا قَتَلْتَ ٱلْمِصْرِيَّ؟». فَخَافَ مُوسَى وَقَالَ: «حَقًّا قَدْ عُرِفَ ٱلْأَمْرُ». | ١٤ 14 |
He said, “Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you plan to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian [person from Abode of slavery]?” Moses [Drawn out] was afraid, and said, “Surely this thing is known.”
| فَسَمِعَ فِرْعَوْنُ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ، فَطَلَبَ أَنْ يَقْتُلَ مُوسَى. فَهَرَبَ مُوسَى مِنْ وَجْهِ فِرْعَوْنَ وَسَكَنَ فِي أَرْضِ مِدْيَانَ، وَجَلَسَ عِنْدَ ٱلْبِئْرِ. | ١٥ 15 |
Now when Pharaoh sh'ma ·heard obeyed· this thing, he sought to kill Moses [Drawn out]. But Moses [Drawn out] fled from the face of Pharaoh, and lived in the land of Midian [Strife], and he sat down by a well.
| وَكَانَ لِكَاهِنِ مِدْيَانَ سَبْعُ بَنَاتٍ، فَأَتَيْنَ وَٱسْتَقَيْنَ وَمَلَأْنَ ٱلْأَجْرَانَ لِيَسْقِينَ غَنَمَ أَبِيهِنَّ. | ١٦ 16 |
Now the priest of Midian [Strife] had seven daughters. They came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father’s flock.
| فَأَتَى ٱلرُّعَاةُ وَطَرَدُوهُنَّ. فَنَهَضَ مُوسَى وَأَنْجَدَهُنَّ وَسَقَى غَنَمَهُنَّ. | ١٧ 17 |
The shepherds came and divorced them away; but Moses [Drawn out] stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.
| فَلَمَّا أَتَيْنَ إِلَى رَعُوئِيلَ أَبِيهِنَّ قَالَ: «مَا بَالُكُنَّ أَسْرَعْتُنَّ فِي ٱلْمَجِيءِ ٱلْيَوْمَ؟» | ١٨ 18 |
When they came to Reuel, their father, he said, “How is it that you have returned so early today?”
| فَقُلْنَ: «رَجُلٌ مِصْرِيٌّ أَنْقَذَنَا مِنْ أَيْدِي ٱلرُّعَاةِ، وَإِنَّهُ ٱسْتَقَى لَنَا أَيْضًا وَسَقَى ٱلْغَنَمَ». | ١٩ 19 |
They said, “An Egyptian [person from Abode of slavery] delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and moreover he drew water for us, and watered the flock.”
| فَقَالَ لِبَنَاتِهِ: «وَأَيْنَ هُوَ؟ لِمَاذَا تَرَكْتُنَّ ٱلرَّجُلَ؟ ٱدْعُونَهُ لِيَأْكُلَ طَعَامًا». | ٢٠ 20 |
He said to his daughters, “Where is he? Why is it that you have left the man? Call him, that he may eat bread.”
| فَٱرْتَضَى مُوسَى أَنْ يَسْكُنَ مَعَ ٱلرَّجُلِ، فَأَعْطَى مُوسَى صَفُّورَةَ ٱبْنَتَهُ. | ٢١ 21 |
Moses [Drawn out] was content to dwell with the man. He gave Moses [Drawn out] Zipporah, his daughter.
| فَوَلَدَتِ ٱبْنًا فَدَعَا ٱسْمَهُ «جَرْشُومَ»، لِأَنَّهُ قَالَ: «كُنْتُ نَزِيلًا فِي أَرْضٍ غَرِيبَةٍ». | ٢٢ 22 |
She bore a son, and he named him Gershom, for he said, “I have lived as a foreigner in a foreign land.”
| وَحَدَثَ فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلْكَثِيرَةِ أَنَّ مَلِكَ مِصْرَ مَاتَ. وَتَنَهَّدَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنَ ٱلْعُبُودِيَّةِ وَصَرَخُوا، فَصَعِدَ صُرَاخُهُمْ إِلَى ٱللهِ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْعُبُودِيَّةِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
In the course of those many days, the king of Egypt [Abode of slavery] died, and the children of Israel [God prevails] sighed because of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up to God because of the bondage.
| فَسَمِعَ ٱللهُ أَنِينَهُمْ، فَتَذَكَّرَ ٱللهُ مِيثَاقَهُ مَعَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ. | ٢٤ 24 |
God sh'ma ·heard obeyed· their groaning, and God remembered his covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties· with Abraham [Father of a multitude], with Isaac [Laughter], and with Jacob [Supplanter].
| وَنَظَرَ ٱللهُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَعَلِمَ ٱللهُ. | ٢٥ 25 |
God saw the children of Israel [God prevails], and God was concerned about them.
