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 |
Now Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses’ father in law, heard of all that God had done for Moses, and for Israel his people, how that the LORD had brought Israel out of Egypt.
| فَأَخَذَ يَثْرُونُ حَمُو مُوسَى صِفُّورَةَ ٱمْرَأَةَ مُوسَى بَعْدَ صَرْفِهَا | ٢ 2 |
And Jethro, Moses’ father in law, took Zipporah, Moses’ wife, after he had sent her away,
| وَٱبْنَيْهَا، ٱللَّذَيْنِ ٱسْمُ أَحَدِهِمَا جِرْشُومُ، لِأَنَّهُ قَالَ: «كُنْتُ نَزِيلًا فِي أَرْضٍ غَرِيبَةٍ». | ٣ 3 |
and her two sons; of which the name of the one was Gershom; for he said, I have been 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 other was Eliezer; for [he said], The God of my father was my help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh:
| وَأَتَى يَثْرُونُ حَمُو مُوسَى وَٱبْنَاهُ وَٱمْرَأَتُهُ إِلَى مُوسَى إِلَى ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ حَيْثُ كَانَ نَازِلًا عِنْدَ جَبَلِ ٱللهِ. | ٥ 5 |
and Jethro, Moses’ father in law, came with his sons and his wife unto Moses into the wilderness where he was encamped, at the mount of God:
| فَقَالَ لِمُوسَى: «أَنَا حَمُوكَ يَثْرُونُ، آتٍ إِلَيْكَ وَٱمْرَأَتُكَ وَٱبْنَاهَا مَعَهَا». | ٦ 6 |
and he said unto Moses, I thy father in law Jethro am come unto thee, and thy wife, and her two sons with her.
| فَخَرَجَ مُوسَى لِٱسْتِقْبَالِ حَمِيهِ وَسَجَدَ وَقَبَّلَهُ. وَسَأَلَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ صَاحِبَهُ عَنْ سَلَامَتِهِ، ثُمَّ دَخَلَا إِلَى ٱلْخَيْمَةِ. | ٧ 7 |
And Moses went out to meet his father in law, and did obeisance, and kissed him; and they asked each other of their welfare; and they came 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 told his father in law all that the LORD had done unto Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel’s sake, all the travail that had come upon them by the way, and how the LORD delivered them.
| فَفَرِحَ يَثْرُونُ بِجَمِيعِ ٱلْخَيْرِ ٱلَّذِي صَنَعَهُ إِلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلرَّبُّ، ٱلَّذِي أَنْقَذَهُ مِنْ أَيْدِي ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ. | ٩ 9 |
And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which the LORD had done to Israel, in that he had delivered them out of the hand of the Egyptians.
| وَقَالَ يَثْرُونُ: «مُبَارَكٌ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي أَنْقَذَكُمْ مِنْ أَيْدِي ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ وَمِنْ يَدِ فِرْعَوْنَ. اَلَّذِي أَنْقَذَ ٱلشَّعْبَ مِنْ تَحْتِ أَيْدِي ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ. | ١٠ 10 |
And Jethro said, Blessed be the LORD, who hath delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh; who hath delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians.
| ٱلْآنَ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلْآلِهَةِ، لِأَنَّهُ فِي ٱلشَّيْءِ ٱلَّذِي بَغَوْا بِهِ كَانَ عَلَيْهِمْ». | ١١ 11 |
Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods: yea, in the thing wherein they dealt proudly against them.
| فَأَخَذَ يَثْرُونُ حَمُو مُوسَى مُحْرَقَةً وَذَبَائِحَ لِلهِ. وَجَاءَ هَارُونُ وَجَمِيعُ شُيُوخِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِيَأْكُلُوا طَعَامًا مَعَ حَمِي مُوسَى أَمَامَ ٱللهِ. | ١٢ 12 |
And Jethro, Moses’ father in law, took a burnt offering and sacrifices for God: and Aaron came, and all the elders of Israel, to eat bread with Moses’ father in law 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 on the morrow, that Moses sat to judge the people: and the people stood about Moses from the morning unto the 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 when Moses’ father in law saw all that he did to the people, he said, What is this thing that thou doest to the people? why sittest thou thyself alone, and all the people stand about thee from morning unto even?
| فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِحَمِيهِ: «إِنَّ ٱلشَّعْبَ يَأْتِي إِلَيَّ لِيَسْأَلَ ٱللهَ. | ١٥ 15 |
And Moses said unto his father in law, Because the people come unto me to inquire of God:
| إِذَا كَانَ لَهُمْ دَعْوَى يَأْتُونَ إِلَيَّ فَأَقْضِي بَيْنَ ٱلرَّجُلِ وَصَاحِبِهِ، وَأُعَرِّفُهُمْ فَرَائِضَ ٱللهِ وَشَرَائِعَهُ». | ١٦ 16 |
when they have a matter, they come unto me; and I judge between a man and his neighbour, and I make them know the statutes of God, and his laws.
| فَقَالَ حَمُو مُوسَى لَهُ: «لَيْسَ جَيِّدًا ٱلْأَمْرُ ٱلَّذِي أَنْتَ صَانِعٌ. | ١٧ 17 |
And Moses’ father in law said unto him, The thing that thou doest is not good.
| إِنَّكَ تَكِلُّ أَنْتَ وَهَذَا ٱلشَّعْبُ ٱلَّذِي مَعَكَ جَمِيعًا، لِأَنَّ ٱلْأَمْرَ أَعْظَمُ مِنْكَ. لَا تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَصْنَعَهُ وَحْدَكَ. | ١٨ 18 |
Thou wilt surely wear away, both thou, and this people that is with thee: for the thing is too heavy for thee; thou art not able to perform it thyself alone.
| اَلْآنَ ٱسْمَعْ لِصَوْتِي فَأَنْصَحَكَ. فَلْيَكُنِ ٱللهُ مَعَكَ. كُنْ أَنْتَ لِلشَّعْبِ أَمَامَ ٱللهِ، وَقَدِّمْ أَنْتَ ٱلدَّعَاوِيَ إِلَى ٱللهِ، | ١٩ 19 |
Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee counsel, and God be with thee: be thou for the people to God-ward, and bring thou the causes unto God:
| وَعَلِّمْهُمُ ٱلْفَرَائِضَ وَٱلشَّرَائِعَ، وَعَرِّفْهُمُ ٱلطَّرِيقَ ٱلَّذِي يَسْلُكُونَهُ، وَٱلْعَمَلَ ٱلَّذِي يَعْمَلُونَهُ. | ٢٠ 20 |
and thou shalt teach them the statutes and the laws, and shalt shew them the way wherein they must walk, and the work that they must 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 |
Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating unjust gain; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers 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 let them judge the people at all seasons: and it shall be, that every great matter they shall bring unto thee, but every small matter they shall judge themselves: so shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall bear [the burden] with thee.
| إِنْ فَعَلْتَ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ وَأَوْصَاكَ ٱللهُ تَسْتَطِيعُ ٱلْقِيَامَ. وَكُلُّ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ أَيْضًا يَأْتِي إِلَى مَكَانِهِ بِٱلسَّلَامِ». | ٢٣ 23 |
If thou shalt do this thing, and God command thee so, then thou shalt be able to endure, and all this people also shall go to their place in peace.
| فَسَمِعَ مُوسَى لِصَوْتِ حَمِيهِ وَفَعَلَ كُلَّ مَا قَالَ. | ٢٤ 24 |
So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father in law, and did all that he had said.
| وَٱخْتَارَ مُوسَى ذَوِي قُدْرَةٍ مِنْ جَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَجَعَلَهُمْ رُؤُوسًا عَلَى ٱلشَّعْبِ، رُؤَسَاءَ أُلُوفٍ، وَرُؤَسَاءَ مِئَاتٍ، وَرُؤَسَاءَ خَمَاسِينَ، وَرُؤَسَاءَ عَشَرَاتٍ. | ٢٥ 25 |
And Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.
| 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 seasons: the hard causes they brought unto Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves.
| ثُمَّ صَرَفَ مُوسَى حَمَاهُ فَمَضَى إِلَى أَرْضِهِ. | ٢٧ 27 |
And Moses let his father in law depart; and he went his way into his own land.
