اَلْخُرُوجُ 7
| فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «ٱنْظُرْ! أَنَا جَعَلْتُكَ إِلَهًا لِفِرْعَوْنَ. وَهَارُونُ أَخُوكَ يَكُونُ نَبِيَّكَ. | ١ 1 |
The Lord told Moses, “Look, I will make you seem like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron will be your prophet.
| أَنْتَ تَتَكَلَّمُ بِكُلِّ مَا آمُرُكَ، وَهَارُونُ أَخُوكَ يُكَلِّمُ فِرْعَوْنَ لِيُطْلِقَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ أَرْضِهِ. | ٢ 2 |
You are to repeat everything that I tell you to say, and your brother Aaron must repeat it to Pharaoh so that he will let the Israelites leave his country.
| وَلَكِنِّي أُقَسِّي قَلْبَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَأُكَثِّرُ آيَاتِي وَعَجَائِبِي فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. | ٣ 3 |
But I will give Pharaoh a stubborn attitude, and though I will perform many signs and wonders in Egypt, he won't listen to you.
| وَلَا يَسْمَعُ لَكُمَا فِرْعَوْنُ حَتَّى أَجْعَلَ يَدِي عَلَى مِصْرَ، فَأُخْرِجَ أَجْنَادِي، شَعْبِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ بِأَحْكَامٍ عَظِيمَةٍ. | ٤ 4 |
Then I will attack Egypt, imposing heavy punishments on them, and I will lead out by their tribes my people the Israelites.
| فَيَعْرِفُ ٱلْمِصْرِيُّونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ حِينَمَا أَمُدُّ يَدِي عَلَى مِصْرَ وَأُخْرِجُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ بَيْنِهِمْ». | ٥ 5 |
In this way the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord—when I take action against Egypt and lead the Israelites out of the country.”
| فَفَعَلَ مُوسَى وَهَارُونُ كَمَا أَمَرَهُمَا ٱلرَّبُّ. هَكَذَا فَعَلَا. | ٦ 6 |
Moses and Aaron did exactly as the Lord had ordered.
| وَكَانَ مُوسَى ٱبْنَ ثَمَانِينَ سَنَةً، وَهَارُونُ ٱبْنَ ثَلَاثٍ وَثَمَانِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ كَلَّمَا فِرْعَوْنَ. | ٧ 7 |
Moses was eighty and Aaron was eighty-three when they went and spoke to Pharaoh.
| وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ قَائِلًا: | ٨ 8 |
The Lord told Moses and Aaron,
| «إِذَا كَلَّمَكُمَا فِرْعَوْنُ قَائِلًا: هَاتِيَا عَجِيبَةً، تَقُولُ لِهَارُونَ: خُذْ عَصَاكَ وَٱطْرَحْهَا أَمَامَ فِرْعَوْنَ فَتَصِيرَ ثُعْبَانًا». | ٩ 9 |
“When Pharaoh asks you, ‘Why don't you perform a miracle, then?’ tell Aaron, ‘Take your walking stick and throw it down in front of Pharaoh,’ and it will turn into a snake.”
| فَدَخَلَ مُوسَى وَهَارُونُ إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ وَفَعَلَا هَكَذَا كَمَا أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ. طَرَحَ هَارُونُ عَصَاهُ أَمَامَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَأَمَامَ عَبِيدِهِ فَصَارَتْ ثُعْبَانًا. | ١٠ 10 |
Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did what the Lord had ordered. Aaron threw down his staff in front of Pharaoh and his officials, and it turned into a snake.
| فَدَعَا فِرْعَوْنُ أَيْضًا ٱلْحُكَمَاءَ وَٱلسَّحَرَةَ، فَفَعَلَ عَرَّافُو مِصْرَ أَيْضًا بِسِحْرِهِمْ كَذَلِكَ. | ١١ 11 |
But Pharaoh called in wise men and sorcerers, and these Egyptian magicians did the same thing using their magic arts.
| طَرَحُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ عَصَاهُ فَصَارَتِ ٱلْعِصِيُّ ثَعَابِينَ. وَلَكِنْ عَصَا هَارُونَ ٱبْتَلَعَتْ عِصِيَّهُمْ. | ١٢ 12 |
Each of them threw down their walking sticks and they also turned into snakes, but Aaron's walking stick swallowed up all their walking sticks.
| فَٱشْتَدَّ قَلْبُ فِرْعَوْنَ فَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ لَهُمَا، كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ١٣ 13 |
But Pharaoh had a hard, stubborn attitude, and he wouldn't listen to them, as the Lord had predicted.
| ثُمَّ قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «قَلْبُ فِرْعَوْنَ غَلِيظٌ. قَدْ أَبَى أَنْ يُطْلِقَ ٱلشَّعْبَ. | ١٤ 14 |
The Lord said to Moses, “Pharaoh has a stubborn attitude—he's refusing to let the people go.
| اِذْهَبْ إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ فِي ٱلصَّبَاحِ. إِنَّهُ يَخْرُجُ إِلَى ٱلْمَاءِ، وَقِفْ لِلِقَائِهِ عَلَى حَافَةِ ٱلنَّهْرِ. وَٱلْعَصَا ٱلَّتِي تَحَوَّلَتْ حَيَّةً تَأْخُذُهَا فِي يَدِكَ. | ١٥ 15 |
So tomorrow morning go to Pharaoh as he walks down to the river. Wait to meet him on the bank of the Nile. Take with you the walking stick that turned into a snake.
| وَتَقُولُ لَهُ: ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ ٱلْعِبْرَانِيِّينَ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَيْكَ قَائِلًا: أَطْلِقْ شَعْبِي لِيَعْبُدُونِي فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. وَهُوَذَا حَتَّى ٱلْآنَ لَمْ تَسْمَعْ. | ١٦ 16 |
Tell him: The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to say to you, ‘Let my people go, so that they can worship me in the desert. But you have not listened up until now.
| هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ: بِهَذَا تَعْرِفُ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ: هَا أَنَا أَضْرِبُ بِٱلْعَصَا ٱلَّتِي فِي يَدِي عَلَى ٱلْمَاءِ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلنَّهْرِ فَيَتَحَوَّلُ دَمًا. | ١٧ 17 |
This is what the Lord is now telling you: This is how you will know that I am the Lord.’” “Watch! Using the walking stick I'm holding, I'm going to hit the water of the Nile, and it will turn to blood.
| وَيَمُوتُ ٱلسَّمَكُ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلنَّهْرِ وَيَنْتِنُ ٱلنَّهْرُ. فَيَعَافُ ٱلْمِصْرِيُّونَ أَنْ يَشْرَبُوا مَاءً مِنَ ٱلنَّهْرِ». | ١٨ 18 |
The fish in the Nile will die, the river will smell, and the Egyptians won't be able to drink any of its water.”
| ثُمَّ قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «قُلْ لِهَارُونَ: خُذْ عَصَاكَ وَمُدَّ يَدَكَ عَلَى مِيَاهِ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ، عَلَى أَنْهَارِهِمْ وَعَلَى سَوَاقِيهِمْ، وَعَلَى آجَامِهِمْ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ مُجْتَمَعَاتِ مِيَاهِهِمْ لِتَصِيرَ دَمًا. فَيَكُونَ دَمٌ فِي كُلِّ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ فِي ٱلْأَخْشَابِ وَفِي ٱلْأَحْجَارِ». | ١٩ 19 |
The Lord said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Take your walking stick in your hand and hold it out over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers and canals and ponds and pools, so that they will turn to blood. There will be blood through all of Egypt, even in containers made of wood and stone.’”
| فَفَعَلَ هَكَذَا مُوسَى وَهَارُونُ كَمَا أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ. رَفَعَ ٱلْعَصَا وَضَرَبَ ٱلْمَاءَ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلنَّهْرِ أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْ فِرْعَوْنَ وَأَمَامَ عُيُونِ عَبِيدِهِ، فَتَحَوَّلَ كُلُّ ٱلْمَاءِ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلنَّهْرِ دَمًا. | ٢٠ 20 |
Moses and Aaron did exactly as the Lord had ordered. While Pharaoh and all his officials watched, Aaron lifted up his walking stick and hit the water of the Nile. Immediately the whole river turned to blood!
| وَمَاتَ ٱلسَّمَكُ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلنَّهْرِ وَأَنْتَنَ ٱلنَّهْرُ، فَلَمْ يَقْدِرِ ٱلْمِصْرِيُّونَ أَنْ يَشْرَبُوا مَاءً مِنَ ٱلنَّهْرِ. وَكَانَ ٱلدَّمُ فِي كُلِّ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. | ٢١ 21 |
The fish in the Nile died, and the river smelled so awful that the Egyptians could not drink its water. There was blood through all of Egypt!
| وَفَعَلَ عَرَّافُو مِصْرَ كَذَلِكَ بِسِحْرِهِمْ. فَٱشْتَدَّ قَلْبُ فِرْعَوْنَ فَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ لَهُمَا، كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٢٢ 22 |
But the Egyptian magicians did the same thing using their magic arts. Pharaoh maintained his stubborn attitude and he wouldn't listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the Lord had predicted.
| ثُمَّ ٱنْصَرَفَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَدَخَلَ بَيْتَهُ وَلَمْ يُوَجِّهْ قَلْبَهُ إِلَى هَذَا أَيْضًا. | ٢٣ 23 |
Pharaoh went back to his palace and didn't pay any attention to what had happened.
| وَحَفَرَ جَمِيعُ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ حَوَالَيِ ٱلنَّهْرِ لِأَجْلِ مَاءٍ لِيَشْرَبُوا، لِأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَقْدِرُوا أَنْ يَشْرَبُوا مِنْ مَاءِ ٱلنَّهْرِ. | ٢٤ 24 |
All the Egyptians dug alongside the Nile because they couldn't drink its water.
| وَكَمُلَتْ سَبْعَةُ أَيَّامٍ بَعْدَ مَا ضَرَبَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلنَّهْرَ. | ٢٥ 25 |
Seven days went by after the Lord hit the Nile.
