< اَلْخُرُوجُ 4 >
فَأَجَابَ مُوسَى وَقَالَ: «وَلَكِنْ هَا هُمْ لَا يُصَدِّقُونَنِي وَلَا يَسْمَعُونَ لِقَوْلِي، بَلْ يَقُولُونَ: لَمْ يَظْهَرْ لَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ». | ١ 1 |
Moses answered, “But, behold, they will not believe me, nor listen to my voice; for they will say, ‘Yahweh has not appeared to you.’”
فَقَالَ لَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ: «مَا هَذِهِ فِي يَدِكَ؟» فَقَالَ: «عَصًا». | ٢ 2 |
Yahweh said to him, “What is that in your hand?” He said, “A rod.”
فَقَالَ: «ٱطْرَحْهَا إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ». فَطَرَحَهَا إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَصَارَتْ حَيَّةً، فَهَرَبَ مُوسَى مِنْهَا. | ٣ 3 |
He said, “Throw it on the ground.” He threw it on the ground, and it became a snake; and Moses ran away from it.
ثُمَّ قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «مُدَّ يَدَكَ وَأَمْسِكْ بِذَنَبِهَا». فَمَدَّ يَدَهُ وَأَمْسَكَ بِهِ، فَصَارَتْ عَصًا فِي يَدِهِ. | ٤ 4 |
Yahweh said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand, and take it by the tail.” He stretched out his hand, and took hold of it, and it became a rod in his hand.
«لِكَيْ يُصَدِّقُوا أَنَّهُ قَدْ ظَهَرَ لَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ آبَائِهِمْ، إِلَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِلَهُ إِسْحَاقَ وَإِلَهُ يَعْقُوبَ». | ٥ 5 |
“This is so that they may believe that Yahweh, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you.”
ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ أَيْضًا: «أَدْخِلْ يَدَكَ فِي عُبِّكَ». فَأَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فِي عُبِّهِ ثُمَّ أَخْرَجَهَا، وَإِذَا يَدُهُ بَرْصَاءُ مِثْلَ ٱلثَّلْجِ. | ٦ 6 |
Yahweh said furthermore to him, “Now put your hand inside your cloak.” He put his hand inside his cloak, and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous, as white 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 |
He said, “Put your hand inside your cloak again.” He put his hand inside his cloak again, and when he took it out of his cloak, behold, it had turned again as his other flesh.
«فَيَكُونُ إِذَا لَمْ يُصَدِّقُوكَ وَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا لِصَوْتِ ٱلْآيَةِ ٱلْأُولَى، أَنَّهُمْ يُصَدِّقُونَ صَوْتَ ٱلْآيَةِ ٱلْأَخِيرَةِ. | ٨ 8 |
“It will happen, if they will not believe you or listen to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter 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 |
It will happen, if they will not believe even these two signs or listen to your voice, that you shall take of the water of the river, and pour it on the dry land. The water which you take out of the river will become blood on 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 |
Moses said to Yahweh, “O Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before now, nor since you have spoken to your servant; for I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.”
فَقَالَ لَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ: «مَنْ صَنَعَ لِلْإِنْسَانِ فَمًا؟ أَوْ مَنْ يَصْنَعُ أَخْرَسَ أَوْ أَصَمَّ أَوْ بَصِيرًا أَوْ أَعْمَى؟ أَمَا هُوَ أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ؟ | ١١ 11 |
Yahweh said to him, “Who made man’s mouth? Or who makes one mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Isn’t it I, Yahweh?
فَٱلْآنَ ٱذْهَبْ وَأَنَا أَكُونُ مَعَ فَمِكَ وَأُعَلِّمُكَ مَا تَتَكَلَّمُ بِهِ». | ١٢ 12 |
Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth, and teach you what you shall speak.”
فَقَالَ: «ٱسْتَمِعْ أَيُّهَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ، أَرْسِلْ بِيَدِ مَنْ تُرْسِلُ». | ١٣ 13 |
Moses said, “Oh, Lord, please send someone else.”
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 |
Yahweh’s anger burned against Moses, and he said, “What about Aaron, your brother, the Levite? I know that he can speak well. Also, behold, he is coming out to meet you. When he sees you, he will be glad in his heart.
فَتُكَلِّمُهُ وَتَضَعُ ٱلْكَلِمَاتِ فِي فَمِهِ، وَأَنَا أَكُونُ مَعَ فَمِكَ وَمَعَ فَمِهِ، وَأُعْلِمُكُمَا مَاذَا تَصْنَعَانِ. | ١٥ 15 |
You shall speak to him, and put the words in his mouth. I will be with your mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what you shall do.
وَهُوَ يُكَلِّمُ ٱلشَّعْبَ عَنْكَ. وَهُوَ يَكُونُ لَكَ فَمًا، وَأَنْتَ تَكُونُ لَهُ إِلَهًا. | ١٦ 16 |
He will be your spokesman to the people. It will happen that he will be to you a mouth, and you will be to him as God.
وَتَأْخُذُ فِي يَدِكَ هَذِهِ ٱلْعَصَا ٱلَّتِي تَصْنَعُ بِهَا ٱلْآيَاتِ». | ١٧ 17 |
You shall take this rod in your hand, with which you shall do the signs.”
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 |
Moses went and returned to Jethro his father-in-law, and said to him, “Please let me go and return to my brothers who are in Egypt, and see whether they are still alive.” Jethro said to Moses, “Go in peace.”
وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى فِي مِدْيَانَ: «ٱذْهَبْ ٱرْجِعْ إِلَى مِصْرَ، لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ مَاتَ جَمِيعُ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَطْلُبُونَ نَفْسَكَ». | ١٩ 19 |
Yahweh said to Moses in Midian, “Go, return into Egypt; for all the men who sought your life are dead.”
فَأَخَذَ مُوسَى ٱمْرَأَتَهُ وَبَنِيهِ وَأَرْكَبَهُمْ عَلَى ٱلْحَمِيرِ وَرَجَعَ إِلَى أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. وَأَخَذَ مُوسَى عَصَا ٱللهِ فِي يَدِهِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them on a donkey, and he returned to the land of Egypt. Moses took God’s rod 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 |
Yahweh said to Moses, “When you go back into Egypt, see that you do before Pharaoh all the wonders which I have put in your hand, but I will harden his heart and he will not let the people go.
فَتَقُولُ لِفِرْعَوْنَ: هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ: إِسْرَائِيلُ ٱبْنِي ٱلْبِكْرُ. | ٢٢ 22 |
You shall tell Pharaoh, ‘Yahweh says, Israel is my son, my firstborn,
فَقُلْتُ لَكَ: أَطْلِقِ ٱبْنِي لِيَعْبُدَنِي، فَأَبَيْتَ أَنْ تُطْلِقَهُ. هَا أَنَا أَقْتُلُ ٱبْنَكَ ٱلْبِكْرَ». | ٢٣ 23 |
and I have said to you, “Let my son go, that he may serve me;” and you have refused to let him go. Behold, I will kill your firstborn son.’”
وَحَدَثَ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ فِي ٱلْمَنْزِلِ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ ٱلْتَقَاهُ وَطَلَبَ أَنْ يَقْتُلَهُ. | ٢٤ 24 |
On the way at a lodging place, Yahweh met Moses and wanted to kill him.
فَأَخَذَتْ صَفُّورَةُ صَوَّانَةً وَقَطَعَتْ غُرْلَةَ ٱبْنِهَا وَمَسَّتْ رِجْلَيْهِ. فَقَالَتْ: «إِنَّكَ عَرِيسُ دَمٍ لِي». | ٢٥ 25 |
Then Zipporah took a flint, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet; and she said, “Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me.”
فَٱنْفَكَّ عَنْهُ. حِينَئِذٍ قَالَتْ: «عَرِيسُ دَمٍ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْخِتَانِ». | ٢٦ 26 |
So he let him alone. Then she said, “You are a bridegroom of blood,” because of the circumcision.
وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِهَارُونَ: «ٱذْهَبْ إِلَى ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ لِٱسْتِقْبَالِ مُوسَى». فَذَهَبَ وَٱلْتَقَاهُ فِي جَبَلِ ٱللهِ وَقَبَّلَهُ. | ٢٧ 27 |
Yahweh said to Aaron, “Go into the wilderness to meet Moses.” He went, and met him on God’s mountain, and kissed him.
فَأَخْبَرَ مُوسَى هَارُونَ بِجَمِيعِ كَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَهُ، وَبِكُلِّ ٱلْآيَاتِ ٱلَّتِي أَوْصَاهُ بِهَا. | ٢٨ 28 |
Moses told Aaron all Yahweh’s words with which he had sent him, and all the signs with which he had instructed him.
ثُمَّ مَضَى مُوسَى وَهَارُونُ وَجَمَعَا جَمِيعَ شُيُوخِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٢٩ 29 |
Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel.
فَتَكَلَّمَ هَارُونُ بِجَمِيعِ ٱلْكَلَامِ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى بِهِ، وَصَنَعَ ٱلْآيَاتِ أَمَامَ عُيُونِ ٱلشَّعْبِ. | ٣٠ 30 |
Aaron spoke all the words which Yahweh had spoken to Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people.
فَآمَنَ ٱلشَّعْبُ. وَلَمَّا سَمِعُوا أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ ٱفْتَقَدَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَأَنَّهُ نَظَرَ مَذَلَّتَهُمْ، خَرُّوا وَسَجَدُوا. | ٣١ 31 |
The people believed, and when they heard that Yahweh had visited the children of Israel, and that he had seen their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshiped.
