اَلْخُرُوجُ 18
| فَسَمِعَ يَثْرُونُ كَاهِنُ مِدْيَانَ، حَمُو مُوسَى، كُلَّ مَا صَنَعَ ٱللهُ إِلَى مُوسَى وَإِلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ شَعْبِهِ: أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ أَخْرَجَ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ مِصْرَ. | ١ 1 |
And Jothor the priest of Madiam, the father-in-law of Moses, heard of all that the Lord did to his people Israel; for the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt.
| فَأَخَذَ يَثْرُونُ حَمُو مُوسَى صِفُّورَةَ ٱمْرَأَةَ مُوسَى بَعْدَ صَرْفِهَا | ٢ 2 |
And Jothor the father-in-law of Moses, took Sepphora the wife of Moses after she had been sent away,
| وَٱبْنَيْهَا، ٱللَّذَيْنِ ٱسْمُ أَحَدِهِمَا جِرْشُومُ، لِأَنَّهُ قَالَ: «كُنْتُ نَزِيلًا فِي أَرْضٍ غَرِيبَةٍ». | ٣ 3 |
and her two sons: the name of the one was Gersam, [his father] saying, I was a sojourner in a strange land; —
| وَٱسْمُ ٱلْآخَرِ أَلِيعَازَرُ، لِأَنَّهُ قَالَ: «إِلَهُ أَبِي كَانَ عَوْنِي وَأَنْقَذَنِي مِنْ سَيْفِ فِرْعَوْنَ». | ٤ 4 |
and the name of the second Eliezer, saying, For the God of my father [is] my helper, and he has rescued me out of the hand of Pharao.
| وَأَتَى يَثْرُونُ حَمُو مُوسَى وَٱبْنَاهُ وَٱمْرَأَتُهُ إِلَى مُوسَى إِلَى ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ حَيْثُ كَانَ نَازِلًا عِنْدَ جَبَلِ ٱللهِ. | ٥ 5 |
And Jothor the father-in-law of Moses, and his sons and his wife, went forth to Moses into the wilderness, where he encamped on the mount of God.
| فَقَالَ لِمُوسَى: «أَنَا حَمُوكَ يَثْرُونُ، آتٍ إِلَيْكَ وَٱمْرَأَتُكَ وَٱبْنَاهَا مَعَهَا». | ٦ 6 |
And it was told Moses, saying, Behold, thy father-in-law Jothor is coming to thee, and thy wife and two sons with him.
| فَخَرَجَ مُوسَى لِٱسْتِقْبَالِ حَمِيهِ وَسَجَدَ وَقَبَّلَهُ. وَسَأَلَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ صَاحِبَهُ عَنْ سَلَامَتِهِ، ثُمَّ دَخَلَا إِلَى ٱلْخَيْمَةِ. | ٧ 7 |
And Moses went forth to meet his father-in-law, and did him reverence, and kissed him, and they embraced each other, and he brought them into the tent.
| فَقَصَّ مُوسَى عَلَى حَمِيهِ كُلَّ مَا صَنَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ بِفِرْعَوْنَ وَٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ مِنْ أَجْلِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَكُلَّ ٱلْمَشَقَّةِ ٱلَّتِي أَصَابَتْهُمْ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ فَخَلَّصَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٨ 8 |
And Moses related to his father-in-law all things that the Lord did to Pharao and all the Egyptians for Israel's sake, and all the labour that had befallen them in the way, and that the Lord had rescued them out of the hand of Pharao, and out of the hand of the Egyptians.
| فَفَرِحَ يَثْرُونُ بِجَمِيعِ ٱلْخَيْرِ ٱلَّذِي صَنَعَهُ إِلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلرَّبُّ، ٱلَّذِي أَنْقَذَهُ مِنْ أَيْدِي ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ. | ٩ 9 |
And Jothor was amazed at all the good things which the Lord did to them, forasmuch as he rescued them out of the hand of the Egyptians and out of the hand of Pharao.
| وَقَالَ يَثْرُونُ: «مُبَارَكٌ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي أَنْقَذَكُمْ مِنْ أَيْدِي ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ وَمِنْ يَدِ فِرْعَوْنَ. اَلَّذِي أَنْقَذَ ٱلشَّعْبَ مِنْ تَحْتِ أَيْدِي ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ. | ١٠ 10 |
And Jothor said, Blessed be the Lord, because he has rescued them out of the hand of the Egyptians and out of the hand of Pharao.
| ٱلْآنَ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلْآلِهَةِ، لِأَنَّهُ فِي ٱلشَّيْءِ ٱلَّذِي بَغَوْا بِهِ كَانَ عَلَيْهِمْ». | ١١ 11 |
Now know I that the Lord is great above all gods, because of this, wherein they attacked them.
| فَأَخَذَ يَثْرُونُ حَمُو مُوسَى مُحْرَقَةً وَذَبَائِحَ لِلهِ. وَجَاءَ هَارُونُ وَجَمِيعُ شُيُوخِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِيَأْكُلُوا طَعَامًا مَعَ حَمِي مُوسَى أَمَامَ ٱللهِ. | ١٢ 12 |
And Jothor the father-in-law of Moses took whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices for God, for Aaron and all the elders of Israel came to eat bread with the father-in-law of Moses before God.
| وَحَدَثَ فِي ٱلْغَدِ أَنَّ مُوسَى جَلَسَ لِيَقْضِيَ لِلشَّعْبِ. فَوَقَفَ ٱلشَّعْبُ عِنْدَ مُوسَى مِنَ ٱلصَّبَاحِ إِلَى ٱلْمَسَاءِ. | ١٣ 13 |
And it came to pass after the morrow that Moses sat to judge the people, and all the people stood by Moses from morning till evening.
| فَلَمَّا رَأَى حَمُو مُوسَى كُلَّ مَا هُوَ صَانِعٌ لِلشَّعْبِ، قَالَ: «مَا هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرُ ٱلَّذِي أَنْتَ صَانِعٌ لِلشَّعْبِ؟ مَا بَالُكَ جَالِسًا وَحْدَكَ وَجَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَاقِفٌ عِنْدَكَ مِنَ ٱلصَّبَاحِ إِلَى ٱلْمَسَاءِ؟» | ١٤ 14 |
And Jothor having seen all that [Moses] did to the people, says, What is this that thou doest to the people? wherefore sittest thou alone, and all the people stand by thee from morning till evening?
| فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِحَمِيهِ: «إِنَّ ٱلشَّعْبَ يَأْتِي إِلَيَّ لِيَسْأَلَ ٱللهَ. | ١٥ 15 |
And Moses says to his father-in-law, Because the people come to me to seek judgment from God.
| إِذَا كَانَ لَهُمْ دَعْوَى يَأْتُونَ إِلَيَّ فَأَقْضِي بَيْنَ ٱلرَّجُلِ وَصَاحِبِهِ، وَأُعَرِّفُهُمْ فَرَائِضَ ٱللهِ وَشَرَائِعَهُ». | ١٦ 16 |
For whenever there is a dispute among them, and they come to me, I give judgment upon each, and I teach them the ordinances of God and his law.
| فَقَالَ حَمُو مُوسَى لَهُ: «لَيْسَ جَيِّدًا ٱلْأَمْرُ ٱلَّذِي أَنْتَ صَانِعٌ. | ١٧ 17 |
And the father-in-law of Moses said to him, Thou dost not this thing rightly,
| إِنَّكَ تَكِلُّ أَنْتَ وَهَذَا ٱلشَّعْبُ ٱلَّذِي مَعَكَ جَمِيعًا، لِأَنَّ ٱلْأَمْرَ أَعْظَمُ مِنْكَ. لَا تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَصْنَعَهُ وَحْدَكَ. | ١٨ 18 |
thou wilt wear away with intolerable weariness, both those and all this people which is with thee: this thing is hard, thou wilt not be able to endure it thyself alone.
| اَلْآنَ ٱسْمَعْ لِصَوْتِي فَأَنْصَحَكَ. فَلْيَكُنِ ٱللهُ مَعَكَ. كُنْ أَنْتَ لِلشَّعْبِ أَمَامَ ٱللهِ، وَقَدِّمْ أَنْتَ ٱلدَّعَاوِيَ إِلَى ٱللهِ، | ١٩ 19 |
Now then hearken to me, and I will advise thee, and God shall be with thee: be thou to the people in the things pertaining to God, and thou shalt bring their matters to God.
| وَعَلِّمْهُمُ ٱلْفَرَائِضَ وَٱلشَّرَائِعَ، وَعَرِّفْهُمُ ٱلطَّرِيقَ ٱلَّذِي يَسْلُكُونَهُ، وَٱلْعَمَلَ ٱلَّذِي يَعْمَلُونَهُ. | ٢٠ 20 |
And thou shalt testify to them the ordinances of God and his law, and thou shalt shew to them the ways in which they shall walk, and the works which they shall do.
| وَأَنْتَ تَنْظُرُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ ذَوِي قُدْرَةٍ خَائِفِينَ ٱللهَ، أُمَنَاءَ مُبْغِضِينَ ٱلرَّشْوَةَ، وَتُقِيمُهُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ رُؤَسَاءَ أُلُوفٍ، وَرُؤَسَاءَ مِئَاتٍ، وَرُؤَسَاءَ خَمَاسِينَ، وَرُؤَسَاءَ عَشَرَاتٍ، | ٢١ 21 |
And do thou look out for thyself out of all the people able men, fearing God, righteous men, hating pride, and thou shalt set over the people captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, and captains of fifties, and captains of tens.
| فَيَقْضُونَ لِلشَّعْبِ كُلَّ حِينٍ. وَيَكُونُ أَنَّ كُلَّ ٱلدَّعَاوِي ٱلْكَبِيرَةِ يَجِيئُونَ بِهَا إِلَيْكَ، وَكُلَّ ٱلدَّعَاوِي ٱلصَّغِيرَةِ يَقْضُونَ هُمْ فِيهَا. وَخَفِّفْ عَنْ نَفْسِكَ، فَهُمْ يَحْمِلُونَ مَعَكَ. | ٢٢ 22 |
And they shall judge the people at all times, and the too burdensome matter they shall bring to thee, but they shall judge the smaller cases; so they shall relieve thee and help thee.
| إِنْ فَعَلْتَ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ وَأَوْصَاكَ ٱللهُ تَسْتَطِيعُ ٱلْقِيَامَ. وَكُلُّ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ أَيْضًا يَأْتِي إِلَى مَكَانِهِ بِٱلسَّلَامِ». | ٢٣ 23 |
If thou wilt do this thing, God shall strengthen thee, and thou shalt be able to attend, and all this people shall come with peace into their own place.
| فَسَمِعَ مُوسَى لِصَوْتِ حَمِيهِ وَفَعَلَ كُلَّ مَا قَالَ. | ٢٤ 24 |
And Moses hearkened to the voice of his father-in-law, and did whatsoever he said to him.
| وَٱخْتَارَ مُوسَى ذَوِي قُدْرَةٍ مِنْ جَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَجَعَلَهُمْ رُؤُوسًا عَلَى ٱلشَّعْبِ، رُؤَسَاءَ أُلُوفٍ، وَرُؤَسَاءَ مِئَاتٍ، وَرُؤَسَاءَ خَمَاسِينَ، وَرُؤَسَاءَ عَشَرَاتٍ. | ٢٥ 25 |
And Moses chose out able men out of all Israel, and he made them captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, and captains of fifties and captains of tens over the people.
| فَكَانُوا يَقْضُونَ لِلشَّعْبِ كُلَّ حِينٍ. ٱلدَّعَاوِي ٱلْعَسِرَةُ يَجِيئُونَ بِهَا إِلَى مُوسَى، وَكُلُّ ٱلدَّعَاوِي ٱلصَّغِيرَةِ يَقْضُونَ هُمْ فِيهَا. | ٢٦ 26 |
And they judged the people at all times; and every too burdensome matter they brought to Moses, but every light matter they judged themselves.
| ثُمَّ صَرَفَ مُوسَى حَمَاهُ فَمَضَى إِلَى أَرْضِهِ. | ٢٧ 27 |
And Moses dismissed his father-in-law, and he returned to his own land.
