اَلْخُرُوجُ 3

١ 1 وَأَمَّا مُوسَى فَكَانَ يَرْعَى غَنَمَ يَثْرُونَ حَمِيهِ كَاهِنِ مِدْيَانَ، فَسَاقَ ٱلْغَنَمَ إِلَى وَرَاءِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ وَجَاءَ إِلَى جَبَلِ ٱللهِ حُورِيبَ.

Now Moses [Drawn out] was keeping the flock of Jethro [Abundance], his father-in-law, the priest of Midian [Strife], and he led the flock to the back of the wilderness, and came to God’s mountain, to Horeb [Desert].

٢ 2 وَظَهَرَ لَهُ مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ بِلَهِيبِ نَارٍ مِنْ وَسَطِ عُلَّيْقَةٍ. فَنَظَرَ وَإِذَا ٱلْعُلَّيْقَةُ تَتَوَقَّدُ بِٱلنَّارِ، وَٱلْعُلَّيْقَةُ لَمْ تَكُنْ تَحْتَرِقُ.

Ha mal'ak Yahweh [The Angel of He sustains breathing] appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the middle of a bush. He looked, and behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.

٣ 3 فَقَالَ مُوسَى: «أَمِيلُ ٱلْآنَ لِأَنْظُرَ هَذَا ٱلْمَنْظَرَ ٱلْعَظِيمَ. لِمَاذَا لَا تَحْتَرِقُ ٱلْعُلَّيْقَةُ؟».

Moses [Drawn out] said, “I will turn aside now and see this great sight; why the bush is not being burned up?”

٤ 4 فَلَمَّا رَأَى ٱلرَّبُّ أَنَّهُ مَالَ لِيَنْظُرَ، نَادَاهُ ٱللهُ مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلْعُلَّيْقَةِ وَقَالَ: «مُوسَى، مُوسَى!». فَقَالَ: «هَأَنَذَا».

When Adonai saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the middle of the bush, and said, “Moses [Drawn out]! Moses [Drawn out]!” He said, “Here I am.”

٥ 5 فَقَالَ: «لَا تَقْتَرِبْ إِلَى هَهُنَا. ٱخْلَعْ حِذَاءَكَ مِنْ رِجْلَيْكَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْمَوْضِعَ ٱلَّذِي أَنْتَ وَاقِفٌ عَلَيْهِ أَرْضٌ مُقَدَّسَةٌ».

He said, “Don’t come close. Take your sandals off of your feet, for the place you are standing on is holy ground.”

٦ 6 ثُمَّ قَالَ: «أَنَا إِلَهُ أَبِيكَ، إِلَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِلَهُ إِسْحَاقَ وَإِلَهُ يَعْقُوبَ». فَغَطَّى مُوسَى وَجْهَهُ لِأَنَّهُ خَافَ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى ٱللهِ.

Moreover he said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham [Father of a multitude], the God of Isaac [Laughter], and the God of Jacob [Supplanter].” Moses [Drawn out] hid his face; for he was afraid to look at God.

٧ 7 فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «إِنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُ مَذَلَّةَ شَعْبِي ٱلَّذِي فِي مِصْرَ وَسَمِعْتُ صُرَاخَهُمْ مِنْ أَجْلِ مُسَخِّرِيهِمْ. إِنِّي عَلِمْتُ أَوْجَاعَهُمْ،

Adonai said, “I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt [Abode of slavery], and have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows.

٨ 8 فَنَزَلْتُ لِأُنْقِذَهُمْ مِنْ أَيْدِي ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ، وَأُصْعِدَهُمْ مِنْ تِلْكَ ٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَى أَرْضٍ جَيِّدَةٍ وَوَاسِعَةٍ، إِلَى أَرْضٍ تَفِيضُ لَبَنًا وَعَسَلًا، إِلَى مَكَانِ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ وَٱلْحِثِّيِّينَ وَٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ وَٱلْفِرِزَّيِّينَ وَٱلْحِوِّيِّينَ وَٱلْيَبُوسِيِّينَ.

I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery], and to bring them up out of that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey; to the place of the Canaanite [Descendant of Humbled], the Hittite [Descendant of Trembling fear], the Amorite [Descendants of Talkers], the Perizzite [Descendant of Belonging to village], the Hivite [Wicked], and the Jebusite [Descendants of Thresher].

٩ 9 وَٱلْآنَ هُوَذَا صُرَاخُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَدْ أَتَى إِلَيَّ، وَرَأَيْتُ أَيْضًا ٱلضِّيقَةَ ٱلَّتِي يُضَايِقُهُمْ بِهَا ٱلْمِصْرِيُّونَ،

Now, behold, the cry of the children of Israel [God prevails] has come to me. Moreover I have seen the oppression with which the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] oppress them.

١٠ 10 فَٱلْآنَ هَلُمَّ فَأُرْسِلُكَ إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ، وَتُخْرِجُ شَعْبِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ مِصْرَ».

Come now therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh, that you may bring my people, the children of Israel [God prevails], out of Egypt [Abode of slavery].”

١١ 11 فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِلهِ: «مَنْ أَنَا حَتَّى أَذْهَبَ إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ، وَحَتَّى أُخْرِجَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ مِصْرَ؟»

Moses [Drawn out] said to God, “Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel [God prevails] out of Egypt [Abode of slavery]?”

١٢ 12 فَقَالَ: «إِنِّي أَكُونُ مَعَكَ، وَهَذِهِ تَكُونُ لَكَ ٱلْعَلَامَةُ أَنِّي أَرْسَلْتُكَ: حِينَمَا تُخْرِجُ ٱلشَّعْبَ مِنْ مِصْرَ، تَعْبُدُونَ ٱللهَ عَلَى هَذَا ٱلْجَبَلِ».

He said, “Certainly I will be with you. This will be the token to you, that I have sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt [Abode of slavery], you shall abad ·serve· God on this mountain.”

١٣ 13 فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِلهِ: «هَا أَنَا آتِي إِلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَأَقُولُ لَهُمْ: إِلَهُ آبَائِكُمْ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَيْكُمْ. فَإِذَا قَالُوا لِي: مَا ٱسْمُهُ؟ فَمَاذَا أَقُولُ لَهُمْ؟»

Moses [Drawn out] said to God, “Behold, when I come to the children of Israel [God prevails], and tell them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you;’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ What should I tell them?”

١٤ 14 فَقَالَ ٱللهُ لِمُوسَى: «أَهْيَهِ ٱلَّذِي أَهْيَهْ». وَقَالَ: «هَكَذَا تَقُولُ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: أَهْيَهْ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَيْكُمْ».

God said to Moses [Drawn out], “I Am Who I Am,” and he said, “You shall tell the children of Israel [God prevails] this: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’”

١٥ 15 وَقَالَ ٱللهُ أَيْضًا لِمُوسَى: «هَكَذَا تَقُولُ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: يَهْوَهْ إِلَهُ آبَائِكُمْ، إِلَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِلَهُ إِسْحَاقَ وَإِلَهُ يَعْقُوبَ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَيْكُمْ. هَذَا ٱسْمِي إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ وَهَذَا ذِكْرِي إِلَى دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ.

God said moreover to Moses [Drawn out], “You shall tell the children of Israel [God prevails] this, ‘Adonai, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham [Father of a multitude], the God of Isaac [Laughter], and the God of Jacob [Supplanter], has sent me to you.’ This is my name forever, and this is my memorial to all generations.

١٦ 16 اِذْهَبْ وَٱجْمَعْ شُيُوخَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقُلْ لَهُمُ: ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ آبَائِكُمْ، إِلَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ ظَهَرَ لِي قَائِلًا: إِنِّي قَدِ ٱفْتَقَدْتُكُمْ وَمَا صُنِعَ بِكُمْ فِي مِصْرَ.

Go, and gather the elders of Israel [God prevails] together, and tell them, ‘Adonai, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham [Father of a multitude], of Isaac [Laughter], and of Jacob [Supplanter], has appeared to me, saying, “I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt [Abode of slavery];

١٧ 17 فَقُلْتُ أُصْعِدُكُمْ مِنْ مَذَلَّةِ مِصْرَ إِلَى أَرْضِ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ وَٱلْحِثِّيِّينَ وَٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ وَٱلْفِرِزِّيِّينَ وَٱلْحِوِّيِّينَ وَٱلْيَبُوسِيِّينَ، إِلَى أَرْضٍ تَفِيضُ لَبَنًا وَعَسَلًا.

and I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt [Abode of slavery] to the land of the Canaanite [Descendant of Humbled], the Hittite [Descendant of Trembling fear], the Amorite [Descendants of Talkers], the Perizzite [Descendant of Belonging to village], the Hivite [Wicked], and the Jebusite [Descendants of Thresher], to a land flowing with milk and honey.”’

١٨ 18 «فَإِذَا سَمِعُوا لِقَوْلِكَ، تَدْخُلُ أَنْتَ وَشُيُوخُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى مَلِكِ مِصْرَ وَتَقُولُونَ لَهُ: ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ ٱلْعِبْرَانِيِّينَ ٱلْتَقَانَا، فَٱلْآنَ نَمْضِي سَفَرَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ وَنَذْبَحُ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا.

They will sh'ma ·hear obey· your voice, and you shall come, you and the elders of Israel [God prevails], to the king of Egypt [Abode of slavery], and you shall tell him, ‘Adonai, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. Now please let us go three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to Adonai, our God.’

١٩ 19 وَلَكِنِّي أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ مَلِكَ مِصْرَ لَا يَدَعُكُمْ تَمْضُونَ وَلَا بِيَدٍ قَوِيَّةٍ،

I know that the king of Egypt [Abode of slavery] won’t give you permission to go, no, not by a mighty hand.

٢٠ 20 فَأَمُدُّ يَدِي وَأَضْرِبُ مِصْرَ بِكُلِّ عَجَائِبِي ٱلَّتِي أَصْنَعُ فِيهَا. وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ يُطْلِقُكُمْ.

I will reach out my hand and strike Egypt [Abode of slavery] with all my wonders which I will do among them, and after that he will let you go.

٢١ 21 وَأُعْطِي نِعْمَةً لِهَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ فِي عُيُونِ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ. فَيَكُونُ حِينَمَا تَمْضُونَ أَنَّكُمْ لَا تَمْضُونَ فَارِغِينَ.

I will give this people chen ·grace· in the sight of the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery], and it will happen that when you go, you shall not go empty handed.

٢٢ 22 بَلْ تَطْلُبُ كُلُّ ٱمْرَأَةٍ مِنْ جَارَتِهَا وَمِنْ نَزِيلَةِ بَيْتِهَا أَمْتِعَةَ فِضَّةٍ وَأَمْتِعَةَ ذَهَبٍ وَثِيَابًا، وَتَضَعُونَهَا عَلَى بَنِيكُمْ وَبَنَاتِكُمْ. فَتَسْلُبُونَ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ».

But every woman shall ask of her neighbor, and of her who visits her house, jewels of silver, jewels of gold, and clothing; and you shall put them on your sons, and on your daughters. You shall plunder the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery].”
