Exodus 6

1 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Now, shalt thou see, what I will do to Pharaoh, for with a strong hand, shall he let them go, and with a strong hand, shall he drive them out from his land.

١ فَأَجَابَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى: «سَتَرَى الآنَ مَا أَنَا فَاعِلُهُ بِفِرْعَوْنَ، لأَنَّنِي بِيَدٍ قَدِيرَةٍ سَأَجْعَلُهُ يُطْلِقُهُمْ، بَلْ يَطْرُدُهُمْ طَرْداً أَيْضاً».

2 And God spake unto Moses, —and said unto him, I, am Yahweh:

٢ وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ.

3 I appeared, therefore, unto Abraham unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, as GOD Almighty, —although, by my name Yahweh was I not made known to them;

٣ قَدْ ظَهَرْتُ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ إِلَهاً قَدِيراً عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ. أَمَّا اسْمِي يَهْوَهْ (أَيِ الرَّبُّ) فَلَمْ أُعْلِنْهُ لَهُمْ.

4 Moreover also I established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, —even the land of their sojournings wherein they sojourned.

٤ وَقَدْ قَطَعْتُ مَعَهُمْ أَيْضاً عَهْدِي بِأَنْ أَهَبَهُمْ أَرْضَ كَنْعَانَ حَيْثُ أَقَامُوا فِيهَا كَغُرَبَاءَ.

5 Moreover also, I heard the groaning of the sons of Israel, whom the Egyptians, were holding in servitude, So then I remembered my covenant.

٥ كَذَلِكَ أَصْغَيْتُ إِلَى أَنِينِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ الْمُسْتَعْبَدِينَ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ، وَتَذَكَّرْتُ عَهْدِي

6 Therefore say thou to the sons of Israel-I, am Yahweh, Therefore will I bring you forth from under the burdens of Egypt, And will deliver you out of their service, And will redeem you with a stretched-out arm, and with great judgments;

٦ لِهَذَا قُلْ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِنَّنِي أَنَا الرَّبُّ وَأَنَا أُحَرِّرُكُمْ مِنْ أَثْقَالِ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ وَأُنْقِذُكُمْ مِنْ عُبُودِيَّتِهِمْ، وَأُخَلِّصُكُمْ بِذِرَاعٍ مَمْدُودَةٍ وَأَحْكَامٍ قَوِيَّةٍ.

7 And will take you to myself for a people, And will become your God, —And ye shall know that, I Yahweh, am your God, who brought you forth from under the burdens of Egypt:

٧ وَأَتَّخِذُكُمْ لِي شَعْباً وَأَكُونُ لَكُمْ إِلَهاً، فَتَعْرِفُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ مُحَرِّرُكُمْ مِنْ أَثْقَالِ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ.

8 And I will bring you into the land as to which I uplifted my hand to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, —and will give it to you as an inheritance: I, am Yahweh.

٨ وَأَقُودُكُمْ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَقْسَمْتُ أَنْ أَهَبَهَا لإِبْرَاهِيمَ وإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ لأُعْطِيَهَا لَكُمْ مِلْكاً. أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ».

9 And Moses spake thus unto the sons of Israel, but they hearkened not unto Moses, through shortness of spirit, and through hard service.

٩ فَخَاطَبَ مُوسَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، لَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يُصْغُوا إِلَيْهِ لِتَوَجُّعِ نُفُوسِهِمْ وَعُبُودِيَّتِهِمِ الْقَاسِيَةِ.

10 And Yahweh spake unto Moses saying:

١٠ وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى:

11 Go in speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the sons of Israel go out of his land.

١١ «امْثُلْ أَمَامَ فِرْعَوْنَ مَلِكِ مِصْرَ وَاطْلُبْ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يُطْلِقَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنَ الأَرْضِ».

12 And Moses spake before Yahweh, saying, —Lo! the sons of Israel have not hearkened unto me, how then shall Pharaoh, hear, I, also being of uncircumcised lips.

١٢ فَأَجَابَ مُوسَى: «هُوَذَا بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ لَمْ يُصْغُوا إِلَيَّ، فَكَيْفَ يَسْتَمِعُ إِلَيَّ فِرْعَوْنُ وَأَنَا ثَقِيلُ اللِّسَانِ؟»

13 Thus then did Yahweh speak unto Moses and unto Aaron, yea he gave them a charge unto the sons of Israel, and unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, for the bringing forth of the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

١٣ فَخَاطَبَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى وَهَرُونَ وَأَمَرَهُمَا أَنْ يَرْجِعَا إِلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَفِرْعَوْنَ مَلِكِ مِصْرَ، لِكَيْ يُطْلِقَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ.

14 These, are the heads of their ancestral house: The sons of Reuben the first-born of Israel, Hanoch and Pallu, Hezron and Carmi. These are the families of, Reuben.

١٤ وَهَؤُلاءِ هُمْ رُؤَسَاءُ الْعَشَائِرِ الْمُتَفَرِّعَةِ عَنْ أَبْنَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: أَبْنَاءُ رَأُوبَيْنَ بِكْرِ إِسْرَائِيلَ حَنُوكُ وَفَلُّو وَحَصْرُونُ وَكَرْمِي: هَذِهِ عَشَائِرُ رَأُوبَيْنَ.

15 And, the sons of Simeon, Jemuel and Jamin and Ohad and Jachin and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitess. These, are the families of, Simeon.

١٥ أَبْنَاءُ شِمْعُونَ يَمُوئِيلُ وَيَامِينُ وَأُوهَدُ وَيَاكِينُ وَصُوحَرُ وَشَأُولُ وأُمُّهُ كَنْعَانِيَّةٌ: هَذِهِ هِي عَشَائِرُ شِمْعُونَ.

16 And, these, are the names of the sons of Levi by their generations, Gershon, and Kohath and Merari, And, the years of the life of Levi, were a hundred and thirty-seven years.

١٦ وَهَذِهِ أَسْمَاءُ أَبْنَاءِ لاوِي حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ: جِرْشُونُ وَقَهَاتُ وَمَرَارِي. وَقَدْ عَاشَ لاوِي مِئَةً وَسَبْعاً وَثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً.

17 The sons of Gershon, Libni and Shimei by their families.

١٧ أَمَّا ابْنَا جِرْشُونَ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمَا فَهُمَا: لِبْنِي وَشِمْعِي.

18 And the sons of Kohath, Amram and Izhar, and Hebron and Uzziel. And the years of the life of Kohath, were a hundred and thirty-three years.

١٨ وَأَبْنَاءُ قَهَاتَ هُمْ: عَمْرَامُ وَيِصْهَارُ وَحَبْرُونُ وَعُزِّيئِيلُ. وَقَدْ عَاشَ قَهَاتُ مِئَةً وَثَلاثاً وَثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً.

19 And the sons of Merari, Mahli and Mushi. These, are the families of the Levites by their generations.

١٩ وَابْنَا مَرَارِي هُمَا مَحْلِي وَمُوشِي. هَذِهِ هِيَ عَشَائِرُ اللّاوِيِّينَ بِحَسَبِ سِجِلِّ مَوَالِيدِهِمْ.

20 So then, Amram took Jochebed, his father’s sister to himself to wife, and she bare to him—Aaron and Moses. And, the years of the life of Amram, were a hundred and thirty-seven.

٢٠ وَتَزَوَّجَ عَمْرَامُ عَمَّتَهُ يُوكَابَدَ فَأَنْجَبَتْ لَهُ هَرُونَ وَمُوسَى. وَقَدْ عَاشَ عَمْرَامُ مِئَةً وَسَبْعاً وَثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً.

21 And the sons of Izhar, Korah and Nepheg, and Zichri.

٢١ وَأَبْنَاءُ يِصْهَارَ هُمْ: قُورَحُ وَنَافَجُ وَذِكْرِي.

22 And the sons of Uzziel, Mishael and Elzaphan, and Sithri.

٢٢ أَبْنَاءُ عُزِّيئِيلَ هُمْ: مِيشَائِيلُ وأَلْصَافَانُ وَسِتْرِي

23 And Aaron took Elisheba, daughter of Amminadab, sister of Nahshon, to himself to wife, —and she bare to him—Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

٢٣ وَتَزَوَّجَ هَرُونُ مِنْ أَلِيشَابَعَ ابْنَةِ عَمِّينَادَابَ أُخْتِ نَحْشُونَ فَأَنْجَبَتْ لَهُ نَادَابَ وَأَبِيهُوَ وَأَلِعَازَارَ وإِيثَامَارَ.

24 And the sons of Korah, Assir and Elkanah, and Abiasaph. These are the families of the Korahites.

٢٤ وَأَبْنَاءُ قُورَحَ هُمْ: أَسِّيرُ وَأَلْقَانَةُ وَأَبِيَأَسَافُ: هَذِهِ هِيَ عَشَائِرُ الْقُورَحِيِّينَ.

25 And Eleazar, son of Aaron took to himself [one] of the daughters of Putiel, to himself to wife, and she bare to him Phinehas. These, are the heads of the fathers of the Levites by their families.

٢٥ وَتَزَوَّجَ أَلِعَازَارُ بنُ هَرُونَ مِنْ إِحْدَى بَنَاتِ فُوطِيئِيلَ فَأَنْجَبَتْ لَهُ فِيْنحَاسَ. هَؤُلاءِ رُؤَسَاءُ آبَاءِ اللّاوِيِّينَ بِحَسَبِ تَرْتِيبِ عَشَائِرِهِمْ.

26 The same, Aaron and Moses, —to whom said Yahweh, Bring ye forth the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt, according to their hosts:

٢٦ هَذَانِ هُمَا هَروُنُ وَمُوسَى اللَّذَانِ قَالَ لَهُمَا الرَّبُّ: أَخْرِجَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ بِحَسَبِ فِرَقِهِمْ.

27 They who were to speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring forth the sons of Israel out of Egypt: The same, Moses and Aaron.

٢٧ وَهُمَا نَفْسُ مُوسَى وَهَرُونَ اللَّذَيْنِ خَاطَبَا فِرْعَوْنَ مَلِكَ مِصْرَ لِيُطْلِقَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ مِصْرَ.

28 Thus came it to pass, that on a certain day, Yahweh spake unto Moses in the land of Egypt.

٢٨ وَحَدَثَ فِي الْيَوْمِ الَّذي كَلَّمَ فِيهِ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ

29 So then Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying—I, am Yahweh: Speak thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, all that, I, am speaking unto thee.

٢٩ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَالَ لَهُ: «أَنَا الرَّبُّ بَلِّغْ فِرْعَوْنَ كُلَّ مَا أَقُولُهُ لَكَ».

30 And Moses said before Yahweh, —Lo! I, am of uncircumcised lips, how then will Pharaoh hearken unto me?

٣٠ فَأَجَابَهُ مُوسَى: «أَنَا ثَقِيلُ اللِّسَانِ فَكَيْفَ يَسْتَمِعُ لِي فِرْعَوْنُ؟»
