فَأَجَابَ مُوسَى وَقَالَ: «وَلَكِنْ هَا هُمْ لَا يُصَدِّقُونَنِي وَلَا يَسْمَعُونَ لِقَوْلِي، بَلْ يَقُولُونَ: لَمْ يَظْهَرْ لَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ». ١ 1
And Moses answered and said, If they believe me not, and do not listen to my voice (for they will say, God has not appeared to you), what shall I say to them?
فَقَالَ لَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ: «مَا هَذِهِ فِي يَدِكَ؟» فَقَالَ: «عَصًا». ٢ 2
And the Lord said to him, What is this thing that is in your hand? and he said, A rod.
فَقَالَ: «ٱطْرَحْهَا إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ». فَطَرَحَهَا إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَصَارَتْ حَيَّةً، فَهَرَبَ مُوسَى مِنْهَا. ٣ 3
And he said, Cast it on the ground: and he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent, and Moses fled from it.
ثُمَّ قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «مُدَّ يَدَكَ وَأَمْسِكْ بِذَنَبِهَا». فَمَدَّ يَدَهُ وَأَمْسَكَ بِهِ، فَصَارَتْ عَصًا فِي يَدِهِ. ٤ 4
And the Lord said to Moses, Stretch forth your hand, and take hold of its tail: so he stretched forth his hand and took hold of the tail,
«لِكَيْ يُصَدِّقُوا أَنَّهُ قَدْ ظَهَرَ لَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ آبَائِهِمْ، إِلَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِلَهُ إِسْحَاقَ وَإِلَهُ يَعْقُوبَ». ٥ 5
and it became a rod in his hand, —that they may believe you, that the God of your fathers has appeared to you, the God of Abraam, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob.
ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ أَيْضًا: «أَدْخِلْ يَدَكَ فِي عُبِّكَ». فَأَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فِي عُبِّهِ ثُمَّ أَخْرَجَهَا، وَإِذَا يَدُهُ بَرْصَاءُ مِثْلَ ٱلثَّلْجِ. ٦ 6
And the Lord said again to him, Put your hand into your bosom; and he put his hand into his bosom, and brought his hand out of his bosom, and his hand became as snow.
ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ: «رُدَّ يَدَكَ إِلَى عُبِّكَ». فَرَدَّ يَدَهُ إِلَى عُبِّهِ ثُمَّ أَخْرَجَهَا مِنْ عُبِّهِ، وَإِذَا هِيَ قَدْ عَادَتْ مِثْلَ جَسَدِهِ. ٧ 7
And he said again, Put your hand into your bosom; and he put his hand into his bosom, and brought his hand out of his bosom, and it was again restored to the complexion of his [other] flesh.
«فَيَكُونُ إِذَا لَمْ يُصَدِّقُوكَ وَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا لِصَوْتِ ٱلْآيَةِ ٱلْأُولَى، أَنَّهُمْ يُصَدِّقُونَ صَوْتَ ٱلْآيَةِ ٱلْأَخِيرَةِ. ٨ 8
And if they will not believe you, nor listen to the voice of the first sign, they will believe you [because] of the voice of the second sign.
وَيَكُونُ إِذَا لَمْ يُصَدِّقُوا هَاتَيْنِ ٱلْآيَتَيْنِ، وَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا لِقَوْلِكَ، أَنَّكَ تَأْخُذُ مِنْ مَاءِ ٱلنَّهْرِ وَتَسْكُبُ عَلَى ٱلْيَابِسَةِ، فَيَصِيرُ ٱلْمَاءُ ٱلَّذِي تَأْخُذُهُ مِنَ ٱلنَّهْرِ دَمًا عَلَى ٱلْيَابِسَةِ». ٩ 9
And it shall come to pass if they will not believe you for these two signs, and will not listen to your voice, that you shall take of the water of the river and pour it upon the dry land, and the water which you shall take from the river shall be blood upon the dry land.
فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِلرَّبِّ: «ٱسْتَمِعْ أَيُّهَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ، لَسْتُ أَنَا صَاحِبَ كَلَامٍ مُنْذُ أَمْسِ وَلَا أَوَّلِ مِنْ أَمْسِ، وَلَا مِنْ حِينِ كَلَّمْتَ عَبْدَكَ، بَلْ أَنَا ثَقِيلُ ٱلْفَمِ وَٱللِّسَانِ». ١٠ 10
And Moses said to the Lord, I pray, Lord, I have not been sufficient in former times, neither from the time that you have begun to speak to your servant: I am weak in speech, and slow-tongued.
فَقَالَ لَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ: «مَنْ صَنَعَ لِلْإِنْسَانِ فَمًا؟ أَوْ مَنْ يَصْنَعُ أَخْرَسَ أَوْ أَصَمَّ أَوْ بَصِيرًا أَوْ أَعْمَى؟ أَمَا هُوَ أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ؟ ١١ 11
And the Lord said to Moses, Who has given a mouth to man, and who has made the very hard of hearing, and the deaf, the seeing and the blind? have not I, God?
فَٱلْآنَ ٱذْهَبْ وَأَنَا أَكُونُ مَعَ فَمِكَ وَأُعَلِّمُكَ مَا تَتَكَلَّمُ بِهِ». ١٢ 12
And now go and I will open your mouth, and will instruct you in what you shall say.
فَقَالَ: «ٱسْتَمِعْ أَيُّهَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ، أَرْسِلْ بِيَدِ مَنْ تُرْسِلُ». ١٣ 13
And Moses said, I pray you, Lord, appoint another able [person] whom you shall send.
فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى مُوسَى وَقَالَ: «أَلَيْسَ هَارُونُ ٱللَّاوِيُّ أَخَاكَ؟ أَنَا أَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ هُوَ يَتَكَلَّمُ، وَأَيْضًا هَا هُوَ خَارِجٌ لِٱسْتِقْبَالِكَ. فَحِينَمَا يَرَاكَ يَفْرَحُ بِقَلْبِهِ، ١٤ 14
And the Lord was greatly angered against Moses, and said, Behold! is not Aaron the Levite your brother? I know that he will surely speak to you; and, behold, he will come forth to meet you, and beholding you he will rejoice within himself.
فَتُكَلِّمُهُ وَتَضَعُ ٱلْكَلِمَاتِ فِي فَمِهِ، وَأَنَا أَكُونُ مَعَ فَمِكَ وَمَعَ فَمِهِ، وَأُعْلِمُكُمَا مَاذَا تَصْنَعَانِ. ١٥ 15
And you shall speak to him; and you shall put my words into his mouth, and I will open your mouth and his mouth, and I will instruct you in what you shall do.
وَهُوَ يُكَلِّمُ ٱلشَّعْبَ عَنْكَ. وَهُوَ يَكُونُ لَكَ فَمًا، وَأَنْتَ تَكُونُ لَهُ إِلَهًا. ١٦ 16
And he shall speak for you to the people, and he shall be your mouth, and you shall be for him in things pertaining to God.
وَتَأْخُذُ فِي يَدِكَ هَذِهِ ٱلْعَصَا ٱلَّتِي تَصْنَعُ بِهَا ٱلْآيَاتِ». ١٧ 17
And this rod that was turned into a serpent you shall take in your hand, wherewith you shall work miracles.
فَمَضَى مُوسَى وَرَجَعَ إِلَى يَثْرُونَ حَمِيهِ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «أَنَا أَذْهَبُ وَأَرْجِعُ إِلَى إِخْوَتِي ٱلَّذِينَ فِي مِصْرَ لِأَرَى هَلْ هُمْ بَعْدُ أَحْيَاءٌ». فَقَالَ يَثْرُونُ لِمُوسَى: «ٱذْهَبْ بِسَلَامٍ». ١٨ 18
And Moses went and returned to Jothor his father-in-law, and says, I will go and return to my brethren in Egypt, and will see if they are yet living. And Jothor said to Moses, Go in health. And in those days after some time, the king of Egypt died.
وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى فِي مِدْيَانَ: «ٱذْهَبْ ٱرْجِعْ إِلَى مِصْرَ، لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ مَاتَ جَمِيعُ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَطْلُبُونَ نَفْسَكَ». ١٩ 19
And the Lord said to Moses in Madiam, Go, depart into Egypt, for all that sought your life are dead.
فَأَخَذَ مُوسَى ٱمْرَأَتَهُ وَبَنِيهِ وَأَرْكَبَهُمْ عَلَى ٱلْحَمِيرِ وَرَجَعَ إِلَى أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. وَأَخَذَ مُوسَى عَصَا ٱللهِ فِي يَدِهِ. ٢٠ 20
And Moses took his wife and his children, and mounted them on the beasts, and returned to Egypt; and Moses took the rod [which he had] from God in his hand.
وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «عِنْدَمَا تَذْهَبُ لِتَرْجِعَ إِلَى مِصْرَ، ٱنْظُرْ جَمِيعَ ٱلْعَجَائِبِ ٱلَّتِي جَعَلْتُهَا فِي يَدِكَ وَٱصْنَعْهَا قُدَّامَ فِرْعَوْنَ. وَلَكِنِّي أُشَدِّدُ قَلْبَهُ حَتَّى لَا يُطْلِقَ ٱلشَّعْبَ. ٢١ 21
And the Lord said to Moses, When you go and return to Egypt, see—all the miracles I have charged you with, you shall work before Pharao: and I will harden his heart, and he shall certainly not send away the people.
فَتَقُولُ لِفِرْعَوْنَ: هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ: إِسْرَائِيلُ ٱبْنِي ٱلْبِكْرُ. ٢٢ 22
And you shall say to Pharao, These things says the Lord, Israel [is] my firstborn.
فَقُلْتُ لَكَ: أَطْلِقِ ٱبْنِي لِيَعْبُدَنِي، فَأَبَيْتَ أَنْ تُطْلِقَهُ. هَا أَنَا أَقْتُلُ ٱبْنَكَ ٱلْبِكْرَ». ٢٣ 23
And I said to you, Send away my people, that they may serve me: now if you will not send them away, see, I will kill your firstborn son.
وَحَدَثَ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ فِي ٱلْمَنْزِلِ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ ٱلْتَقَاهُ وَطَلَبَ أَنْ يَقْتُلَهُ. ٢٤ 24
And it came to pass [that] the angel of the Lord met him by the way in the inn, and sought to kill him.
فَأَخَذَتْ صَفُّورَةُ صَوَّانَةً وَقَطَعَتْ غُرْلَةَ ٱبْنِهَا وَمَسَّتْ رِجْلَيْهِ. فَقَالَتْ: «إِنَّكَ عَرِيسُ دَمٍ لِي». ٢٥ 25
and Sepphora having taken a stone cut off the foreskin of her son, and fell at his feet and said, The blood of the circumcision of my son is staunched:
فَٱنْفَكَّ عَنْهُ. حِينَئِذٍ قَالَتْ: «عَرِيسُ دَمٍ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْخِتَانِ». ٢٦ 26
and he departed from him, because she said, The blood of the circumcision of my son is staunched.
وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِهَارُونَ: «ٱذْهَبْ إِلَى ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ لِٱسْتِقْبَالِ مُوسَى». فَذَهَبَ وَٱلْتَقَاهُ فِي جَبَلِ ٱللهِ وَقَبَّلَهُ. ٢٧ 27
And the Lord said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses; and he went and met him in the mount of God, and they kissed each other.
فَأَخْبَرَ مُوسَى هَارُونَ بِجَمِيعِ كَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَهُ، وَبِكُلِّ ٱلْآيَاتِ ٱلَّتِي أَوْصَاهُ بِهَا. ٢٨ 28
And Moses reported to Aaron all the words of the Lord, which he sent, and all the things which he charged him.
ثُمَّ مَضَى مُوسَى وَهَارُونُ وَجَمَعَا جَمِيعَ شُيُوخِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٢٩ 29
And Moses and Aaron went and gathered the elders of the children of Israel.
فَتَكَلَّمَ هَارُونُ بِجَمِيعِ ٱلْكَلَامِ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى بِهِ، وَصَنَعَ ٱلْآيَاتِ أَمَامَ عُيُونِ ٱلشَّعْبِ. ٣٠ 30
And Aaron spoke all these words, which God spoke to Moses, and wrought the miracles before the people.
فَآمَنَ ٱلشَّعْبُ. وَلَمَّا سَمِعُوا أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ ٱفْتَقَدَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَأَنَّهُ نَظَرَ مَذَلَّتَهُمْ، خَرُّوا وَسَجَدُوا. ٣١ 31
and the people believed and rejoiced, because God visited the children of Israel, and because he saw their affliction: and the people bowed and worshipped.
