اَلْخُرُوجُ 33

١ 1 وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «ٱذْهَبِ ٱصْعَدْ مِنْ هُنَا أَنْتَ وَٱلشَّعْبُ ٱلَّذِي أَصْعَدْتَهُ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي حَلَفْتُ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ قَائِلًا: لِنَسْلِكَ أُعْطِيهَا.

And the Lord said to Moses, Go forward, go up hence, you and your people, whom you brought out of the land of Egypt, into the land which I swore to Abraam, and Isaac, and Jacob, saying, I will give it to your seed.

٢ 2 وَأَنَا أُرْسِلُ أَمَامَكَ مَلَاكًا، وَأَطْرُدُ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ وَٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ وَٱلْحِثِّيِّينَ وَٱلْفِرِزِّيِّينَ وَٱلْحِوِّيِّينَ وَٱلْيَبُوسِيِّينَ.

And I will send at the same time my angel before your face, and he shall cast out the Amorite and the Chettite, and the Pherezite and Gergesite, and Evite, and Jebusite, and Chananite.

٣ 3 إِلَى أَرْضٍ تَفِيضُ لَبَنًا وَعَسَلًا. فَإِنِّي لَا أَصْعَدُ فِي وَسَطِكَ لِأَنَّكَ شَعْبٌ صُلْبُ ٱلرَّقَبَةِ، لِئَلَّا أُفْنِيَكَ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ».

And I will bring you into a land flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up with you, because you are a stiff-necked people, lest I consume you by the way.

٤ 4 فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ ٱلشَّعْبُ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامَ ٱلسُّوءَ نَاحُوا وَلَمْ يَضَعْ أَحَدٌ زِينَتَهُ عَلَيْهِ.

And the people having heard this grievous saying, mourned in mourning apparel.

٥ 5 وَكَانَ ٱلرَّبُّ قَدْ قَالَ لِمُوسَى: «قُلْ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: أَنْتُمْ شَعْبٌ صُلْبُ ٱلرَّقَبَةِ. إِنْ صَعِدْتُ لَحْظَةً وَاحِدَةً فِي وَسَطِكُمْ أَفْنَيْتُكُمْ. وَلَكِنِ ٱلْآنَ ٱخْلَعْ زِينَتَكَ عَنْكَ فَأَعْلَمَ مَاذَا أَصْنَعُ بِكَ».

For the Lord said to the children of Israel, You are a stiff-necked people; take heed lest I bring on you another plague, and destroy you: now then put off your glorious apparel, and [your] ornaments, and I will show you what I will do to you.

٦ 6 فَنَزَعَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ زِينَتَهُمْ مِنْ جَبَلِ حُورِيبَ.

So the sons of Israel took off their ornaments and their array at the mount of Choreb.

٧ 7 وَأَخَذَ مُوسَى ٱلْخَيْمَةَ وَنَصَبَهَا لَهُ خَارِجَ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ، بَعِيدًا عَنِ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ، وَدَعَاهَا «خَيْمَةَ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ». فَكَانَ كُلُّ مَنْ يَطْلُبُ ٱلرَّبَّ يَخْرُجُ إِلَى خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ ٱلَّتِي خَارِجَ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ.

And Moses took his tabernacle and pitched it without the camp, at a distance from the camp; and it was called the Tabernacle of Testimony: and it came to pass [that] every one that sought the Lord went forth to the tabernacle which was without the camp.

٨ 8 وَكَانَ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ إِذَا خَرَجَ مُوسَى إِلَى ٱلْخَيْمَةِ يَقُومُونَ وَيَقِفُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ فِي بَابِ خَيْمَتِهِ وَيَنْظُرُونَ وَرَاءَ مُوسَى حَتَّى يَدْخُلَ ٱلْخَيْمَةَ.

And whenever Moses went into the tabernacle without the camp, all the people stood every one watching by the doors of his tent; and when Moses departed, they took notice until he entered into the tabernacle.

٩ 9 وَكَانَ عَمُودُ ٱلسَّحَابِ إِذَا دَخَلَ مُوسَى ٱلْخَيْمَةَ، يَنْزِلُ وَيَقِفُ عِنْدَ بَابِ ٱلْخَيْمَةِ. وَيَتَكَلَّمُ ٱلرَّبُّ مَعَ مُوسَى.

And when Moses entered into the tabernacle, the pillar of the cloud descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and [God] talked to Moses.

١٠ 10 فَيَرَى جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ عَمُودَ ٱلسَّحَابِ، وَاقِفًا عِنْدَ بَابِ ٱلْخَيْمَةِ، وَيَقُومُ كُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَيَسْجُدُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ فِي بَابِ خَيْمَتِهِ.

And all the people saw the pillar of the cloud standing by the door of the tabernacle, and all the people stood and worshipped every one at the door of his tent.

١١ 11 وَيُكَلِّمُ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى وَجْهًا لِوَجْهٍ، كَمَا يُكَلِّمُ ٱلرَّجُلُ صَاحِبَهُ. وَإِذَا رَجَعَ مُوسَى إِلَى ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ كَانَ خَادِمُهُ يَشُوعُ بْنُ نُونَ ٱلْغُلَامُ، لَا يَبْرَحُ مِنْ دَاخِلِ ٱلْخَيْمَةِ.

And the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as if one should speak to his friend; and he retired into the camp: but his servant Joshua the son of Naue, a young man, departed not forth from the tabernacle.

١٢ 12 وَقَالَ مُوسَى لِلرَّبِّ: «ٱنْظُرْ. أَنْتَ قَائِلٌ لِي: أَصْعِدْ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبَ، وَأَنْتَ لَمْ تُعَرِّفْنِي مَنْ تُرْسِلُ مَعِي. وَأَنْتَ قَدْ قُلْتَ: عَرَفْتُكَ بِٱسْمِكَ، وَوَجَدْتَ أَيْضًا نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيَّ.

And Moses said to the Lord, Behold! you say to me, Lead on this people; but you have not showed me whom you will send with me, but you have said to me, I know you above all, and you have favour with me.

١٣ 13 فَٱلْآنَ إِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ وَجَدْتُ نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيْكَ فَعَلِّمْنِي طَرِيقَكَ حَتَّى أَعْرِفَكَ لِكَيْ أَجِدَ نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيْكَ. وَٱنْظُرْ أَنَّ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمَّةَ شَعْبُكَ».

If then I have found favour in your sight, reveal yourself to me, that I may evidently see you; that I may find favour in your sight, and that I may know that this great nation [is] your people.

١٤ 14 فَقَالَ: «وَجْهِي يَسِيرُ فَأُرِيحُكَ».

And he says, I myself will go before you, and give you rest.

١٥ 15 فَقَالَ لَهُ: «إِنْ لَمْ يَسِرْ وَجْهُكَ فَلَا تُصْعِدْنَا مِنْ هَهُنَا،

And he says to him, If you go not up with us yourself, bring me not up hence.

١٦ 16 فَإِنَّهُ بِمَاذَا يُعْلَمُ أَنِّي وَجَدْتُ نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيْكَ أَنَا وَشَعْبُكَ؟ أَلَيْسَ بِمَسِيرِكَ مَعَنَا؟ فَنَمْتَازَ أَنَا وَشَعْبُكَ عَنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ ٱلَّذِينَ عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ».

And how shall it be surely known, that both I and this people have found favour with you, except only if you go with us? So both I and your people shall be glorified beyond all the nations, as many as are upon the earth.

١٧ 17 فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرُ أَيْضًا ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمْتَ عَنْهُ أَفْعَلُهُ، لِأَنَّكَ وَجَدْتَ نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيَّ، وَعَرَفْتُكَ بِٱسْمِكَ».

And the Lord said to Moses, I will also do for you this thing, which you have spoken; for you have found grace before me, and I know you above all.

١٨ 18 فَقَالَ: «أَرِنِي مَجْدَكَ».

And [Moses] says, Manifest yourself to me.

١٩ 19 فَقَالَ: «أُجِيزُ كُلَّ جُودَتِي قُدَّامَكَ. وَأُنَادِي بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ قُدَّامَكَ. وَأَتَرَاءَفُ عَلَى مَنْ أَتَرَاءَفُ، وَأَرْحَمُ مَنْ أَرْحَمُ».

And [God] said, I will pass by before you with my glory, and I will call by my name, the Lord, before you; and I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and will have pity on whom I will have pity.

٢٠ 20 وَقَالَ: «لَا تَقْدِرُ أَنْ تَرَى وَجْهِي، لِأَنَّ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ لَا يَرَانِي وَيَعِيشُ».

And [God] said, You shall not be able to see my face; for no man shall see my face, and live.

٢١ 21 وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «هُوَذَا عِنْدِي مَكَانٌ، فَتَقِفُ عَلَى ٱلصَّخْرَةِ.

And the Lord said, Behold, [there is] a place by me: you shall stand upon the rock;

٢٢ 22 وَيَكُونُ مَتَى ٱجْتَازَ مَجْدِي، أَنِّي أَضَعُكَ فِي نُقْرَةٍ مِنَ ٱلصَّخْرَةِ، وَأَسْتُرُكَ بِيَدِي حَتَّى أَجْتَازَ.

and when my glory shall pass by, then I will put you into a hole of the rock; and I will cover you over with my hand, until I shall have passed by.

٢٣ 23 ثُمَّ أَرْفَعُ يَدِي فَتَنْظُرُ وَرَائِي، وَأَمَّا وَجْهِي فَلَا يُرَى».

And I will remove my hand, and then shall you see my back parts; but my face shall not appear to you.
