ثُمَّ قَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «امْثُلْ أَمَامَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَقُلْ لَهُ: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ: أَطْلِقْ شَعْبِي لِيَعْبُدُونِي. ١ 1
The LORD spoke to Moses, Go in to Pharaoh, and tell him, "This is what the LORD says, 'Let my people go, that they may serve me.
وَإِنْ أَبَيْتَ أَنْ تُطْلِقَهُمْ فَهَا أَنَا ضَارِبٌ جَمِيعَ تُخُومِكَ بِالضَّفَادِعِ. ٢ 2
If you refuse to let them go, look, I will plague all your borders with frogs:
فَيَفِيضُ النَّهْرُ بِالضَّفَادِعِ الَّتِي تَصْعَدُ وَتَقْتَحِمُ بَيْتَكَ وَمُخْدَعَ فِرَاشِكَ وَسَرِيرَكَ وَبُيُوتَ حَاشِيَتِكَ وَشَعْبِكَ وَأَفْرَانَكَ وَمَعَاجِنَكَ. ٣ 3
and the river shall swarm with frogs, which shall go up and come into your house, and into your bedchamber, and on your bed, and into the house of your servants, and on your people, and into your ovens, and into your kneading troughs:
عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى شَعْبِكَ وَعَلَى سَائِرِ حَاشِيَتِكَ تَصْعَدُ الضَّفَادِعُ». ٤ 4
and the frogs shall come up both on you, and on your people, and on all your servants.'"
ثُمَّ قَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «قُلْ لِهَرُونَ ابْسُطْ يَدَكَ بِعَصَاكَ عَلَى الأَنْهَارِ وَالسَّوَاقِي وَالْبِرَكِ وَأَصْعِدِ الضَّفَادِعَ عَلَى كُلِّ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ». ٥ 5
The LORD said to Moses, "Tell Aaron your brother, 'Stretch forth your hand with your staff over the rivers, over the streams, and over the pools, and cause frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.'"
فَبَسَطَ هَرُونُ يَدَهُ عَلَى مِيَاهِ مِصْرَ فَأَقْبَلَتِ الضَّفَادِعُ وَغَطَّتْ أَرْضَ مِصْرَ. ٦ 6
Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.
وَكَذَلِكَ فَعَلَ السَّحَرَةُ بِسِحْرِهِمْ فَأَصْعَدُوا ضَفَادِعَ عَلَى أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. ٧ 7
The magicians did in like manner with their secret arts, and brought up frogs on the land of Egypt.
ثُمَّ اسْتَدْعَى فِرْعَوْنُ مُوسَى وَهَرُونَ وَقَالَ: «تَضَرَّعَا إِلَى الرَّبِّ لِيَرْفَعَ الضَّفَادِعَ عَنِّي وَعَنْ شَعْبِي، فَأُطْلِقَ الشَّعْبَ لِيُقَدِّمُوا ذَبَائِحَ لَهُ». ٨ 8
Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, "Pray to the LORD, that he take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice to the LORD."
فَأَجَابَ مُوسَى فِرْعَوْنَ: «عَيِّنْ لِي مَتَى أُصَلِّي مِنْ أَجْلِكَ وَمِنْ أَجْلِ عَبِيدِكَ وَشَعْبِكَ، لِكَيْ تُبَادَ الضَّفَادِعُ عَنْكَ وَعَنْ بُيُوتِكَ، مَاعَدَا تِلْكَ الْبَاقِيَةَ فِي النَّهْرِ». ٩ 9
Moses said to Pharaoh, "I give you the honor of setting the time that I should pray for you, and for your servants, and for your people, that the frogs be destroyed from you and your houses, and remain in the river only."
فَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ: «غَداً». فَأَجَابَهُ مُوسَى: «فَلْيَكُنْ كَقَوْلِكَ، لِتَعْرِفَ أَنَّهُ لَا مَثِيلَ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا. ١٠ 10
He said, "Tomorrow." He said, "Be it according to your word, that you may know that there is none like the LORD our God.
فَإِنَّ الضَّفَادِعَ سَتَنْسَحِبُ مِنْ حَوْلِكَ وَمِنْ بُيُوتِكَ وَمِنْ حَوْلِ حَاشِيَتِكَ وَشَعْبِكَ، وَلا تَبْقَى إلّا فِي النَّهْرِ». ١١ 11
The frogs shall depart from you, and from your houses, and from your servants, and from your people. They shall remain in the river only."
وَبَعْدَ أَنِ انْصَرَفَ مُوسَى وَهَرُونُ مِنْ لَدُنْ فِرْعَوْنَ صَلَّى مُوسَى إِلَى الرَّبِّ مِنْ أَجْلِ الضَّفَادِعِ الَّتِي أَصْعَدَهَا عَلَى فِرْعَوْنَ، ١٢ 12
Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh, and Moses cried to the LORD concerning the frogs which he had brought on Pharaoh.
فَفَعَلَ الرَّبُّ حَسَبَ دُعَاءِ مُوسَى، فَانْقَطَعَتِ الضَّفَادِعُ مِنَ الْبُيُوتِ وَالدُّورِ وَالْحُقُولِ، ١٣ 13
The LORD did according to the word of Moses, and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the courts, and out of the fields.
فَجمَعُوهَا أَكْوَاماً كَثِيَرةً حَتَّى أَنْتَنَتْ مِنْهَا الأَرْضُ. ١٤ 14
They gathered them together in heaps, and the land stank.
وَعِنْدَمَا رَأَى فِرْعَوْنُ أَنَّ الْبَلِيَّةَ قَدِ انْقَشَعَتْ، أَغْلَظَ قَلْبَهُ وَلَمْ يَسْتَمِعْ لَهُمَا، تَمَاماً كَمَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ. ١٥ 15
But when Pharaoh saw that there was a respite, he hardened his heart, and did not listen to them, as the LORD had spoken.
فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «قُلْ لِهَرُونَ أَنْ يَبْسُطَ يَدَهُ بِعَصَاهُ وَيَضْرِبَ تُرَابَ الأَرْضِ لِيَملأَ الْبَعُوضُ كُلَّ أَرْجَاءِ مِصْرَ». ١٦ 16
The LORD said to Moses, "Tell Aaron, 'Stretch out your staff, and strike the dust of the earth, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt.'"
وَهَكَذَا فَعَلا، إِذْ بَسَطَ هَرُونُ يَدَهُ بِعَصَاهُ وَضَرَبَ تُرَابَ الأَرْضِ، فَانْتَشَرَ الْبَعُوضُ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَالْبَهَائِمِ. فَصَارَ كُلُّ تُرَابِ الأَرْضِ بَعُوضاً فِي جَمِيعِ أَرْجَاءِ مِصْرَ. ١٧ 17
They did so; and Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff, and struck the dust of the earth, and there were lice on man, and on animal; all the dust of the earth became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
وَكَذَلِكَ حَاوَلَ السَّحَرَةُ بِسِحْرِهِمْ لِيُخْرِجُوا الْبَعُوضَ فَأَخْفَقُوا. وَكَانَ الْبَعُوضُ مُنْتَشِراً عَلَى النَّاسِ وَالْبَهَائِمِ. ١٨ 18
The magicians tried with their secret arts to bring forth lice, but they couldn't. There were lice on man, and on animal.
فَقَالَ السَّحَرَةُ لِفِرْعَوْنَ «إِنَّهُ فِعْلُ اللهِ». وَلَكِنَّ قَلْبَ فِرْعَوْنَ ظَلَّ مُتَصَلِّباً فَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ لَهُمَا، تَمَاماً كَمَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ. ١٩ 19
Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, "This is the finger of God:" and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them; as the LORD had spoken.
ثُمَّ قَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «انْهَضْ مُبَكِّراً فِي الصَّبَاحِ وَقِفْ أَمَامَ فِرْعَوْنَ عِنْدَ خُرُوجِهِ إِلَى الْمَاءِ وَقُلْ لَهُ: هَكَذَا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: أَطْلِقْ شَعْبِي لِيَعْبُدُونِي. ٢٠ 20
The LORD said to Moses, "Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; look, he comes forth to the water; and tell him, 'This is what the LORD says, "Let my people go, that they may serve me.
وَإِنْ لَمْ تُطْلِقْ شَعْبِي فَهَا أَنَا أُرْسِلُ أَسْرَابَ الذُّبَابِ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى حَاشِيَتِكَ وَعَلَى شَعْبِكَ وَعَلَى بُيُوتِكَ، فَتَمْتَلِئُ بُيُوتُ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ بِالذُّبَابِ، وَكَذَلِكَ الأَرْضُ الَّتِي يُقِيمُونَ عَلَيْهَا. ٢١ 21
Else, if you will not let my people go, look, I will send swarms of flies on you, and on your servants, and on your people, and into your houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground whereon they are.
وَلَكِنِّي فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ أَسْتَثْنِي أَرْضَ جَاسَانَ حَيْثُ يَسْكُنُ شَعْبِي فَلا يَغْزُوهَا الذُّبَابُ، فَتُدْرِكُ أَنَّنِي، أَنَا الرَّبَّ، كَائِنٌ فِي هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ. ٢٢ 22
I will set apart in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end you may know that I am the LORD in the midst of the earth.
وَأُمَيِّزُ بَيْنَ شَعْبِي وَشَعْبِكَ، فَتَكُونُ هَذِهِ آيَةَ الْغَدِ». ٢٣ 23
I will put a division between my people and your people: by tomorrow shall this sign be."'"
وَهَكَذَا صَنَعَ الرَّبُّ، فَقَدْ غَزَتْ أَسْرَابٌ عَظِيمَةٌ مِنَ الذُّبَابِ بَيْتَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَبُيُوتَ حَاشِيَتِهِ، وَكُلَّ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ فَأَصَابَ الذُّبَابُ الأَرْضَ بِالْخَرَابِ. ٢٤ 24
The LORD did so; and there came grievous swarms of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants' houses: and in all the land of Egypt the land was corrupted by reason of the swarms of flies.
فَاسْتَدْعَى فِرْعَوْنُ مُوسَى وَهَرُونَ وَقَالَ: «امْضُوا وَقَدِّمُوا ذَبِيحَةً لإِلَهِكُمْ فِي هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ». ٢٥ 25
Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, "Go, sacrifice to your God in the land."
فَأَجَابَ مُوسَى: «لَيْسَ مُسْتَحْسَناً أَنْ نَفْعَلَ هَذَا، لأَنَّ الذَّبَائِحَ الَّتِي نُقَدِّمُهَا لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا هِي رِجْسٌ لَدَى الْمِصْرِيِّينَ. فَإِنْ قَدَّمْنَا هَذِهِ الذَّبَائِحَ الَّتِي يَكْرَهُهَا الْمِصْرِيُّونَ، أَلا يَرْجُمُونَنَا؟ ٢٦ 26
Moses said, "It isn't appropriate to do so; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to the LORD our God. Look, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and won't they stone us?
لَكِنْ نَذْهَبُ مَسِيرَةَ ثَلاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ، فَنُقَدِّمُ ذَبَائِحَ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا كَمَا أَمَرَنَا». ٢٧ 27
We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the LORD our God, as he shall command us."
فَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ: «سَأُطْلِقُكُمْ لِتُقَرِّبُوا لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ، وَلَكِنْ لَا تَذْهَبُوا بَعِيداً. صَلِّيَا لأَجْلِي». ٢٨ 28
Pharaoh said, "I will let you go, that you may sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness, only you shall not go very far away. Pray for me."
فَأَجَابَ مُوسَى: «حَالَمَا أَنْصَرِفُ أُصَلِّي إِلَى الرَّبِّ. وَغَداً يَرْتَفِعُ الذُّبَابُ عَنْ فِرْعَوْنَ وَعَنْ حَاشِيَتِهِ وَعَنْ شَعْبِهِ. وَلَكِنْ عَلَى فِرْعَوْنَ أَلّا يُخَادِعَ، بَلْ يُطْلِقَ الشَّعْبَ لِيُقَدِّمَ لِلرَّبِّ ذَبَائِحَ». ٢٩ 29
Moses said, "Look, I go out from you, and I will pray to God that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, tomorrow; only do not let Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the LORD."
وَفَارَقَ مُوسَى فِرْعَوْنَ وَصَلَّى إِلَى الرَّبِّ، ٣٠ 30
Moses went out from Pharaoh, and prayed to God.
فَاسْتَجَابَ الرَّبُّ دُعَاءَ مُوسَى، فَارْتَفَعَ الذُّبَابُ عَنْ فِرْعَوْنَ وَعَنْ حَاشِيَتِهِ وَعَنْ شَعْبِهِ. لَمْ تَبْقَ ذُبَابَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ. ٣١ 31
The LORD did according to the word of Moses, and he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people. There remained not one.
وَلَكِنَّ فِرْعَوْنَ قَسَّى قَلْبَهُ هَذِهِ الْمَرَّةَ أَيْضاً وَلَمْ يُطْلِقْ الشَّعْبَ. ٣٢ 32
Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also, and he did not let the people go.
