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, was shepherding the flock of Jethro his father-in-law priest of Midian, —so he led forth the flock behind the desert, and came in unto the mountain of God to Horeb.

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

Then appeared the messenger of Yahweh unto him, in a flame of fire from the midst of the thorn-bush, —so he looked and lo! the thorn-bush burning with fire and yet the thorn-bush, was not consumed.

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

And, Moses said, Let me turn aside, pray, and see this great sight, —why the thorn-bush, doth not burn up.

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

And Yahweh saw, that he turned aside to see, —so God called unto him out of the midst of the thorn-bush, and said—Moses! Moses! And he said—Behold me!

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

And he said—Do not draw nigh hither, —put off thy sandals from thy feet, for, the place whereon thou art standing 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.

And he said—I, am the God of thy father, God of Abraham, God of Isaac and God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look upon God.

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

Then said Yahweh, I have, seen, the humiliation of my people, who are in Egypt, —and their outcry, have I heard, by reason of their task-masters, for I know their pains;

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.

therefore have I come down to deliver them from the hand of the Egyptians, and to take them up out of that land, into a land good and large, into a land flowing with milk and honey, —into the place of the Canaanite and the Hittite, and the Amorite and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.

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

Now, therefore, lo! the outcry of the sons of Israel, hath come in unto me, —moreover also, I have seen the oppression, wherewith the Egyptians are oppressing them.

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

Now, therefore, come thou! that I may send thee unto Pharaoh, —and bring thou forth my people—the sons of Israel—out of Egypt.

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

And Moses said unto God, Who am, I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, —and that I should bring forth the sons of Israel out of Egypt?

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

And he said—I will be with thee, and, this, to thee, [shall be] the sign, that, I have sent thee, —When thou bringest forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall do service unto God, upon 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؟»

And Moses said unto God—Lo! as surely as, I, go in unto the sons of Israel, and say unto them, The God of your fathers, hath sent me unto you, So surely will they say unto me—What is his name? What shall I say unto them?

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

And God said unto Moses, I Will Become whatsoever I please, And he said—Thus, shalt thou say to the sons of Israel, I Will Become hath sent me unto 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.

And God said yet further unto Moses—Thus shalt thou say unto the sons of Israel, Yahweh God of your fathers. God of Abraham God of Isaac and God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you. This, is my name to times age-abiding, And, this, my memorial to generation after generation.

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 thou shalt gather together the elders of Israel and shalt say unto them-Yahweh God of your fathers, hath appeared unto me, the God of Abraham Isaac, and Jacob saying, —I am, concerned, for you, and for what is done to you in Egypt;

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

therefore do I say—I will bring you up out of the humiliation of Egypt, into the land of the Canaanite and the Hittite, and the Amorite and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, —into 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.

So will they hearken to thy voice, —and thou shalt go in—thou, and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt and ye shall say unto him—Yahweh, God of the Hebrews, hath fallen in with us, Now, therefore let us go, we pray thee, a journey of three days into the desert, that we may sacrifice to Yahweh, our God.

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

But, I, know, that the king of Egypt will not suffer you to go, —not even by a firm hand.

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

So then I will put forth my hand and smite Egypt, with all my wonders, which I will do in the midst thereof, —and, after that, he will send you forth.

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

Thus will I give favour to this people in the eyes of the Egyptians, —so shall it come to pass that when ye do go, ye shall not go empty;

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 neighbour, and of her that sojourneth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold and mantles, —and ye shall put them upon your sons and upon your daughters, so shall ye spoil the Egyptians.
