اَلْخُرُوجُ 3

١ 1 وَأَمَّا مُوسَى فَكَانَ يَرْعَى غَنَمَ يَثْرُونَ حَمِيهِ كَاهِنِ مِدْيَانَ، فَسَاقَ ٱلْغَنَمَ إِلَى وَرَاءِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ وَجَاءَ إِلَى جَبَلِ ٱللهِ حُورِيبَ.

Now Moses was still shepherding the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian. Moses led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and arrived at Horeb, the mountain of God.

٢ 2 وَظَهَرَ لَهُ مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ بِلَهِيبِ نَارٍ مِنْ وَسَطِ عُلَّيْقَةٍ. فَنَظَرَ وَإِذَا ٱلْعُلَّيْقَةُ تَتَوَقَّدُ بِٱلنَّارِ، وَٱلْعُلَّيْقَةُ لَمْ تَكُنْ تَحْتَرِقُ.

There the angel of Yahweh appeared to him in a flame of fire in a bush. Moses looked, and behold, the bush was burning, but the bush was not burned up.

٣ 3 فَقَالَ مُوسَى: «أَمِيلُ ٱلْآنَ لِأَنْظُرَ هَذَا ٱلْمَنْظَرَ ٱلْعَظِيمَ. لِمَاذَا لَا تَحْتَرِقُ ٱلْعُلَّيْقَةُ؟».

Moses said, “I will turn aside and see this amazing thing, why the bush is not burned up.”

٤ 4 فَلَمَّا رَأَى ٱلرَّبُّ أَنَّهُ مَالَ لِيَنْظُرَ، نَادَاهُ ٱللهُ مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلْعُلَّيْقَةِ وَقَالَ: «مُوسَى، مُوسَى!». فَقَالَ: «هَأَنَذَا».

When Yahweh saw that he had turned aside to look, God called to him out of the bush and said, “Moses, Moses.” Moses said, “Here I am.”

٥ 5 فَقَالَ: «لَا تَقْتَرِبْ إِلَى هَهُنَا. ٱخْلَعْ حِذَاءَكَ مِنْ رِجْلَيْكَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْمَوْضِعَ ٱلَّذِي أَنْتَ وَاقِفٌ عَلَيْهِ أَرْضٌ مُقَدَّسَةٌ».

God said, “Do not come any closer! Take off your shoes from your feet, for the place where you are standing is ground that is set apart to me.”

٦ 6 ثُمَّ قَالَ: «أَنَا إِلَهُ أَبِيكَ، إِلَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِلَهُ إِسْحَاقَ وَإِلَهُ يَعْقُوبَ». فَغَطَّى مُوسَى وَجْهَهُ لِأَنَّهُ خَافَ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى ٱللهِ.

He added, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” Then Moses covered his face, for he was afraid to look at God.

٧ 7 فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «إِنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُ مَذَلَّةَ شَعْبِي ٱلَّذِي فِي مِصْرَ وَسَمِعْتُ صُرَاخَهُمْ مِنْ أَجْلِ مُسَخِّرِيهِمْ. إِنِّي عَلِمْتُ أَوْجَاعَهُمْ،

Yahweh said, “I have certainly seen the suffering of my people who are in Egypt. I have heard their shouts because of their taskmasters, for I know about their suffering.

٨ 8 فَنَزَلْتُ لِأُنْقِذَهُمْ مِنْ أَيْدِي ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ، وَأُصْعِدَهُمْ مِنْ تِلْكَ ٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَى أَرْضٍ جَيِّدَةٍ وَوَاسِعَةٍ، إِلَى أَرْضٍ تَفِيضُ لَبَنًا وَعَسَلًا، إِلَى مَكَانِ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ وَٱلْحِثِّيِّينَ وَٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ وَٱلْفِرِزَّيِّينَ وَٱلْحِوِّيِّينَ وَٱلْيَبُوسِيِّينَ.

I have come down to free them from the Egyptians' power and to bring them up from that land to a good, large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey; to the region of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.

٩ 9 وَٱلْآنَ هُوَذَا صُرَاخُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَدْ أَتَى إِلَيَّ، وَرَأَيْتُ أَيْضًا ٱلضِّيقَةَ ٱلَّتِي يُضَايِقُهُمْ بِهَا ٱلْمِصْرِيُّونَ،

Now the shouts of the people of Israel have come to me. Moreover, I have seen the oppression caused by the Egyptians.

١٠ 10 فَٱلْآنَ هَلُمَّ فَأُرْسِلُكَ إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ، وَتُخْرِجُ شَعْبِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ مِصْرَ».

Now then, I will send you to Pharaoh so that you may bring my people, the Israelites, out of Egypt.”

١١ 11 فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِلهِ: «مَنْ أَنَا حَتَّى أَذْهَبَ إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ، وَحَتَّى أُخْرِجَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ مِصْرَ؟»

But Moses said to God, “Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites from Egypt?”

١٢ 12 فَقَالَ: «إِنِّي أَكُونُ مَعَكَ، وَهَذِهِ تَكُونُ لَكَ ٱلْعَلَامَةُ أَنِّي أَرْسَلْتُكَ: حِينَمَا تُخْرِجُ ٱلشَّعْبَ مِنْ مِصْرَ، تَعْبُدُونَ ٱللهَ عَلَى هَذَا ٱلْجَبَلِ».

God replied, “I will certainly be with you. This will be a sign to you that I have sent you. When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship me on this mountain.”

١٣ 13 فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِلهِ: «هَا أَنَا آتِي إِلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَأَقُولُ لَهُمْ: إِلَهُ آبَائِكُمْ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَيْكُمْ. فَإِذَا قَالُوا لِي: مَا ٱسْمُهُ؟ فَمَاذَا أَقُولُ لَهُمْ؟»

Moses said to God, “When I go to the Israelites and tell them, 'The God of your ancestors has sent me to you,' and when they say to me, 'What is his name?' what should I say to them?”

١٤ 14 فَقَالَ ٱللهُ لِمُوسَى: «أَهْيَهِ ٱلَّذِي أَهْيَهْ». وَقَالَ: «هَكَذَا تَقُولُ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: أَهْيَهْ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَيْكُمْ».

God said to Moses, “I AM THAT I AM.” God said, “You must say to the Israelites, 'I AM has sent me to you.'”

١٥ 15 وَقَالَ ٱللهُ أَيْضًا لِمُوسَى: «هَكَذَا تَقُولُ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: يَهْوَهْ إِلَهُ آبَائِكُمْ، إِلَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِلَهُ إِسْحَاقَ وَإِلَهُ يَعْقُوبَ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَيْكُمْ. هَذَا ٱسْمِي إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ وَهَذَا ذِكْرِي إِلَى دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ.

God also said to Moses, “You must say to the Israelites, 'Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is my name forever, and this is how I will be kept in mind for all generations.'

١٦ 16 اِذْهَبْ وَٱجْمَعْ شُيُوخَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقُلْ لَهُمُ: ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ آبَائِكُمْ، إِلَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ ظَهَرَ لِي قَائِلًا: إِنِّي قَدِ ٱفْتَقَدْتُكُمْ وَمَا صُنِعَ بِكُمْ فِي مِصْرَ.

Go and gather the elders of Israel together. Say to them, 'Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has appeared to me and said, “I have indeed observed you and have seen what has been done to you in Egypt.

١٧ 17 فَقُلْتُ أُصْعِدُكُمْ مِنْ مَذَلَّةِ مِصْرَ إِلَى أَرْضِ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ وَٱلْحِثِّيِّينَ وَٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ وَٱلْفِرِزِّيِّينَ وَٱلْحِوِّيِّينَ وَٱلْيَبُوسِيِّينَ، إِلَى أَرْضٍ تَفِيضُ لَبَنًا وَعَسَلًا.

I have promised to bring you up from the oppression in Egypt to the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, a land flowing with milk and honey.”'

١٨ 18 «فَإِذَا سَمِعُوا لِقَوْلِكَ، تَدْخُلُ أَنْتَ وَشُيُوخُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى مَلِكِ مِصْرَ وَتَقُولُونَ لَهُ: ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ ٱلْعِبْرَانِيِّينَ ٱلْتَقَانَا، فَٱلْآنَ نَمْضِي سَفَرَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ وَنَذْبَحُ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا.

They will listen to you. You and the elders of Israel must go to the king of Egypt, and you must tell him, 'Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. So now let us go three days' journey into the wilderness, in order that we may sacrifice to Yahweh, our God.'

١٩ 19 وَلَكِنِّي أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ مَلِكَ مِصْرَ لَا يَدَعُكُمْ تَمْضُونَ وَلَا بِيَدٍ قَوِيَّةٍ،

But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go, unless his hand is forced.

٢٠ 20 فَأَمُدُّ يَدِي وَأَضْرِبُ مِصْرَ بِكُلِّ عَجَائِبِي ٱلَّتِي أَصْنَعُ فِيهَا. وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ يُطْلِقُكُمْ.

I will reach out with my hand and attack the Egyptians with all the miracles that I will do among them. After that, he will let you go.

٢١ 21 وَأُعْطِي نِعْمَةً لِهَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ فِي عُيُونِ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ. فَيَكُونُ حِينَمَا تَمْضُونَ أَنَّكُمْ لَا تَمْضُونَ فَارِغِينَ.

I will grant this people favor from the Egyptians, so when you leave, you will not go empty-handed.

٢٢ 22 بَلْ تَطْلُبُ كُلُّ ٱمْرَأَةٍ مِنْ جَارَتِهَا وَمِنْ نَزِيلَةِ بَيْتِهَا أَمْتِعَةَ فِضَّةٍ وَأَمْتِعَةَ ذَهَبٍ وَثِيَابًا، وَتَضَعُونَهَا عَلَى بَنِيكُمْ وَبَنَاتِكُمْ. فَتَسْلُبُونَ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ».

Every woman will ask for silver and gold jewels and for clothing from her Egyptian neighbors and any women staying in her neighbors' houses. You will put them on your sons and daughters. In this way you will plunder the Egyptians.”
