اَلْخُرُوجُ 11

١ 1 ثُمَّ قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «ضَرْبَةً وَاحِدَةً أَيْضًا أَجْلِبُ عَلَى فِرْعَوْنَ وَعَلَى مِصْرَ. بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ يُطْلِقُكُمْ مِنْ هُنَا. وَعِنْدَمَا يُطْلِقُكُمْ يَطْرُدُكُمْ طَرْدًا مِنْ هُنَا بِٱلتَّمَامِ.

The Lord told Moses, “There's one last plague I will bring down on Pharaoh and on Egypt. After that he will let you go, but when he does, he'll expel every one of you from the country.

٢ 2 تَكَلَّمْ فِي مَسَامِعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ أَنْ يَطْلُبَ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنْ صَاحِبِهِ، وَكُلُّ ٱمْرَأَةٍ مِنْ صَاحِبَتِهَا أَمْتِعَةَ فِضَّةٍ وَأَمْتِعَةَ ذَهَبٍ».

Now go and tell the Israelites, both men and women, to ask their Egyptian neighbors for silver and gold objects.”

٣ 3 وَأَعْطَى ٱلرَّبُّ نِعْمَةً لِلشَّعْبِ فِي عُيُونِ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ. وَأَيْضًا ٱلرَّجُلُ مُوسَى كَانَ عَظِيمًا جِدًّا فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ فِي عُيُونِ عَبِيدِ فِرْعَوْنَ وَعُيُونِ ٱلشَّعْبِ.

The Lord made the Egyptians look favorably on the Israelites. In fact, Moses himself was highly respected in Egypt by both Pharaoh's officials and the ordinary people.

٤ 4 وَقَالَ مُوسَى: «هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ: إِنِّي نَحْوَ نِصْفِ ٱللَّيْلِ أَخْرُجُ فِي وَسَطِ مِصْرَ،

Moses said, “This is what the Lord says: ‘Around midnight I will go through the whole of Egypt.

٥ 5 فَيَمُوتُ كُلُّ بِكْرٍ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، مِنْ بِكْرِ فِرْعَوْنَ ٱلْجَالِسِ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّهِ إِلَى بِكْرِ ٱلْجَارِيَةِ ٱلَّتِي خَلْفَ ٱلرَّحَى، وَكُلُّ بِكْرِ بَهِيمَةٍ.

Every firstborn son in the land of Egypt will die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh sitting on his throne to the firstborn of the servant girl working with a handmill, as well as all the firstborn of the cattle.

٦ 6 وَيَكُونُ صُرَاخٌ عَظِيمٌ فِي كُلِّ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ لَمْ يَكُنْ مِثْلُهُ وَلَا يَكُونُ مِثْلُهُ أَيْضًا.

There will be loud cries of mourning all over Egypt, such as have never been before, and will never be again.

٧ 7 وَلَكِنْ جَمِيعُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ لَا يُسَنِّنُ كَلْبٌ لِسَانَهُ إِلَيْهِمْ، لَا إِلَى ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَا إِلَى ٱلْبَهَائِمِ. لِكَيْ تَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يُمَيِّزُ بَيْنَ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ وَإِسْرَائِيلَ.

But among all the Israelites there won't even be the sound of a dog barking at them or their animals. That way you will know that the Lord distinguishes between Egypt and Israel.’

٨ 8 فَيَنْزِلُ إِلَيَّ جَمِيعُ عَبِيدِكَ هَؤُلَاءِ، وَيَسْجُدُونَ لِي قَائِلِينَ: ٱخْرُجْ أَنْتَ وَجَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي أَثَرِكَ. وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَخْرُجُ». ثُمَّ خَرَجَ مِنْ لَدُنْ فِرْعَوْنَ فِي حُمُوِّ ٱلْغَضَبِ.

All your officials will come to me, bowing down before me and saying, ‘Leave, and take everyone who follows you with you!’ After that I will leave.” Moses was very angry, and left Pharaoh.

٩ 9 وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «لَا يَسْمَعُ لَكُمَا فِرْعَوْنُ لِكَيْ تَكْثُرَ عَجَائِبِي فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ».

The Lord said to Moses, “Pharaoh is refusing to listen to you so I can do even more miracles in Egypt.”

١٠ 10 وَكَانَ مُوسَى وَهَارُونُ يَفْعَلَانِ كُلَّ هَذِهِ ٱلْعَجَائِبِ أَمَامَ فِرْعَوْنَ، وَلَكِنْ شَدَّدَ ٱلرَّبُّ قَلْبَ فِرْعَوْنَ، فَلَمْ يُطْلِقْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ أَرْضِهِ.

Moses and Aaron did these miracles before Pharaoh, but the Lord gave Pharaoh a stubborn attitude, and he wouldn't let the Israelites leave his country.
