اَلْخُرُوجُ 8

١ 1 قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «ٱدْخُلْ إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ وَقُلْ لَهُ: هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ: أَطْلِقْ شَعْبِي لِيَعْبُدُونِي.

And this is what the Lord said to Moses: Go to Pharaoh and say to him, The Lord says, Let my people go so that they may give me worship.

٢ 2 وَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَأْبَى أَنْ تُطْلِقَهُمْ فَهَا أَنَا أَضْرِبُ جَمِيعَ تُخُومِكَ بِٱلضَّفَادِعِ.

And if you will not let them go, see, I will send frogs into every part of your land:

٣ 3 فَيَفِيضُ ٱلنَّهْرُ ضَفَادِعَ. فَتَصْعَدُ وَتَدْخُلُ إِلَى بَيْتِكَ وَإِلَى مِخْدَعِ فِرَاشِكَ وَعَلَى سَرِيرِكَ وَإِلَى بُيُوتِ عَبِيدِكَ وَعَلَى شَعْبِكَ وَإِلَى تَنَانِيرِكَ وَإِلَى مَعَاجِنِكَ.

The Nile will be full of frogs, and they will come up into your house and into your bedrooms and on your bed, and into the houses of your servants and your people, and into your ovens and into your bread-basins.

٤ 4 عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى شَعْبِكَ وَعَبِيدِكَ تَصْعَدُ ٱلضَّفَادِعُ».

The frogs will come up over you and your people and all your servants.

٥ 5 فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «قُلْ لِهَارُونَ: مُدَّ يَدَكَ بِعَصَاكَ عَلَى ٱلْأَنْهَارِ وَٱلسَّوَاقِي وَٱلْآجَامِ، وَأَصْعِدِ ٱلضَّفَادِعَ عَلَى أَرْضِ مِصْرَ».

And the Lord said to Moses, Say to Aaron, Let the rod in your hand be stretched out over the streams and the waterways and the pools, causing frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.

٦ 6 فَمَدَّ هَارُونُ يَدَهُ عَلَى مِيَاهِ مِصْرَ، فَصَعِدَتِ ٱلضَّفَادِعُ وَغَطَّتْ أَرْضَ مِصْرَ.

And when Aaron put out his hand over the waters of Egypt, the frogs came up and all the land of Egypt was covered with them.

٧ 7 وَفَعَلَ كَذَلِكَ ٱلْعَرَّافُونَ بِسِحْرِهِمْ وَأَصْعَدُوا ٱلضَّفَادِعَ عَلَى أَرْضِ مِصْرَ.

And the wonder-workers did the same with their secret arts, making frogs come up over the land of Egypt.

٨ 8 فَدَعَا فِرْعَوْنُ مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ وَقَالَ: «صَلِّيَا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ لِيَرْفَعَ ٱلضَّفَادِعَ عَنِّي وَعَنْ شَعْبِي فَأُطْلِقَ ٱلشَّعْبَ لِيَذْبَحُوا لِلرَّبِّ».

Then Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron and said, Make prayer to the Lord that he will take away these frogs from me and my people; and I will let the people go and make their offering to the Lord.

٩ 9 فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِفِرْعَوْنَ: «عَيِّنْ لِي مَتَى أُصَلِّي لِأَجْلِكَ وَلِأَجْلِ عَبِيدِكَ وَشَعْبِكَ لِقَطْعِ ٱلضَّفَادِعِ عَنْكَ وَعَنْ بُيُوتِكَ. وَلَكِنَّهَا تَبْقَى فِي ٱلنَّهْرِ».

And Moses said, I will let you have the honour of saying when I am to make prayer for you and your servants and your people, that the frogs may be sent away from you and your houses, and be only in the Nile.

١٠ 10 فَقَالَ: «غَدًا». فَقَالَ: «كَقَوْلِكَ. لِكَيْ تَعْرِفَ أَنْ لَيْسَ مِثْلُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا.

And he said, By tomorrow. And he said, Let it be as you say: so that you may see that there is no other like the Lord our God.

١١ 11 فَتَرْتَفِعُ ٱلضَّفَادِعُ عَنْكَ وَعَنْ بُيُوتِكَ وَعَبِيدِكَ وَشَعْبِكَ، وَلَكِنَّهَا تَبْقَى فِي ٱلنَّهْرِ».

And the frogs will be gone from you and from your houses and from your servants and from your people and will be only in the Nile.

١٢ 12 ثُمَّ خَرَجَ مُوسَى وَهَارُونُ مِنْ لَدُنْ فِرْعَوْنَ، وَصَرَخَ مُوسَى إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلضَّفَادِعِ ٱلَّتِي جَعَلَهَا عَلَى فِرْعَوْنَ،

Then Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh; and Moses made prayer to the Lord about the frogs which he had sent on Pharaoh.

١٣ 13 فَفَعَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ كَقَوْلِ مُوسَى. فَمَاتَتِ ٱلضَّفَادِعُ مِنَ ٱلْبُيُوتِ وَٱلدُّورِ وَٱلْحُقُولِ.

And the Lord did as Moses said; and there was an end of all the frogs in the houses and in the open spaces and in the fields.

١٤ 14 وَجَمَعُوهَا كُوَمًا كَثِيرَةً حَتَّى أَنْتَنَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ.

And they put them together in masses, and a bad smell went up from the land.

١٥ 15 فَلَمَّا رَأَى فِرْعَوْنُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ حَصَلَ ٱلْفَرَجُ أَغْلَظَ قَلْبَهُ وَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ لَهُمَا، كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ.

But when Pharaoh saw that there was peace for a time, he made his heart hard and did not give ear to them, as the Lord had said.

١٦ 16 ثُمَّ قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «قُلْ لِهَارُونَ: مُدَّ عَصَاكَ وَٱضْرِبْ تُرَابَ ٱلْأَرْضِ لِيَصِيرَ بَعُوضًا فِي جَمِيعِ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ».

And the Lord said to Moses, Say to Aaron, Let your rod be stretched out over the dust of the earth so that it may become insects through all the land of Egypt.

١٧ 17 فَفَعَلَا كَذَلِكَ. مَدَّ هَارُونُ يَدَهُ بِعَصَاهُ وَضَرَبَ تُرَابَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَصَارَ ٱلْبَعُوضُ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ وَعَلَى ٱلْبَهَائِمِ. كُلُّ تُرَابِ ٱلْأَرْضِ صَارَ بَعُوضًا فِي جَمِيعِ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ.

And they did so; and Aaron, stretching out the rod in his hand, gave a touch to the dust of the earth, and insects came on man and on beast; all the dust of the earth was changed into insects through all the land of Egypt.

١٨ 18 وَفَعَلَ كَذَلِكَ ٱلْعَرَّافُونَ بِسِحْرِهِمْ لِيُخْرِجُوا ٱلْبَعُوضَ فَلَمْ يَسْتَطِيعُوا. وَكَانَ ٱلْبَعُوضُ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ وَعَلَى ٱلْبَهَائِمِ.

And the wonder-workers with their secret arts, attempting to make insects, were unable to do so: and there were insects on man and on beast.

١٩ 19 فَقَالَ ٱلْعَرَّافُونَ لِفِرْعَوْنَ: «هَذَا إِصْبَعُ ٱللهِ». وَلَكِنِ ٱشْتَدَّ قَلْبُ فِرْعَوْنَ فَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ لَهُمَا، كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ.

Then the wonder-workers said to Pharaoh, This is the finger of God: but Pharaoh's heart was hard, and he did not give ear to them, as the Lord had said.

٢٠ 20 ثُمَّ قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «بَكِّرْ فِي ٱلصَّبَاحِ وَقِفْ أَمَامَ فِرْعَوْنَ. إِنَّهُ يَخْرُجُ إِلَى ٱلْمَاءِ. وَقُلْ لَهُ: هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ: أَطْلِقْ شَعْبِي لِيَعْبُدُونِي.

And the Lord said to Moses, Get up early in the morning and take your place before Pharaoh when he comes out to the water; and say to him, This is what the Lord says: Let my people go to give me worship.

٢١ 21 فَإِنَّهُ إِنْ كُنْتَ لَا تُطْلِقُ شَعْبِي، هَا أَنَا أُرْسِلُ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى عَبِيدِكَ وَعَلَى شَعْبِكَ وَعَلَى بُيُوتِكَ ٱلذُّبَّانَ، فَتَمْتَلِئُ بُيُوتُ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ ذُبَّانًا. وَأَيْضًا ٱلْأَرْضُ ٱلَّتِي هُمْ عَلَيْهَا.

For if you do not let my people go, see, I will send clouds of flies on you and on your servants and on your people and into their houses; and the houses of the Egyptians and the land where they are will be full of flies.

٢٢ 22 وَلَكِنْ أُمَيِّزُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ أَرْضَ جَاسَانَ حَيْثُ شَعْبِي مُقِيمٌ حَتَّى لَا يَكُونُ هُنَاكَ ذُبَّانٌ. لِكَيْ تَعْلَمَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ.

And at that time I will make a division between your land and the land of Goshen where my people are, and no flies will be there; so that you may see that I am the Lord over all the earth.

٢٣ 23 وَأَجْعَلُ فَرْقًا بَيْنَ شَعْبِي وَشَعْبِكَ. غَدًا تَكُونُ هَذِهِ ٱلْآيَةُ».

And I will put a division between my people and your people; tomorrow this sign will be seen.

٢٤ 24 فَفَعَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ هَكَذَا، فَدَخَلَتْ ذُبَّانٌ كَثِيرَةٌ إِلَى بَيْتِ فِرْعَوْنَ وَبُيُوتِ عَبِيدِهِ. وَفِي كُلِّ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ خَرِبَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ مِنَ ٱلذُّبَّانِ.

And the Lord did so; and great clouds of flies came into the house of Pharaoh and into his servants' houses, and all the land of Egypt was made waste because of the flies.

٢٥ 25 فَدَعَا فِرْعَوْنُ مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ وَقَالَ: «ٱذْهَبُوا ٱذْبَحُوا لِإِلَهِكُمْ فِي هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ».

And Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron and said, Go and make your offering to your God here in the land.

٢٦ 26 فَقَالَ مُوسَى: «لَا يَصْلَحُ أَنْ نَفْعَلَ هَكَذَا، لِأَنَّنَا إِنَّمَا نَذْبَحُ رِجْسَ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا. إِنْ ذَبَحْنَا رِجْسَ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ أَمَامَ عُيُونِهِمْ أَفَلَا يَرْجُمُونَنَا؟

And Moses said, It is not right to do so; for we make our offerings of that to which the Egyptians give worship; and if we do so before their eyes, certainly we will be stoned.

٢٧ 27 نَذْهَبُ سَفَرَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ وَنَذْبَحُ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا كَمَا يَقُولُ لَنَا».

But we will go three days' journey into the waste land and make an offering to the Lord our God as he may give us orders.

٢٨ 28 فَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ: «أَنَا أُطْلِقُكُمْ لِتَذْبَحُوا لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، وَلَكِنْ لَا تَذْهَبُوا بَعِيدًا. صَلِّيَا لِأَجْلِي».

Then Pharaoh said, I will let you go to make an offering to the Lord your God in the waste land; but do not go very far away, and make prayer for me.

٢٩ 29 فَقَالَ مُوسَى: «هَا أَنَا أَخْرُجُ مِنْ لَدُنْكَ وَأُصَلِّي إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ، فَتَرْتَفِعُ ٱلذُّبَّانُ عَنْ فِرْعَوْنَ وَعَبِيدِهِ وَشَعْبِهِ غَدًا. وَلَكِنْ لَا يَعُدْ فِرْعَوْنُ يُخَاتِلُ حَتَّى لَا يُطْلِقَ ٱلشَّعْبَ لِيَذْبَحَ لِلرَّبِّ».

And Moses said, When I go out from you I will make prayer to the Lord that the cloud of flies may go away from Pharaoh and from his people and from his servants tomorrow: only let Pharaoh no longer by deceit keep back the people from making their offering to the Lord.

٣٠ 30 فَخَرَجَ مُوسَى مِنْ لَدُنْ فِرْعَوْنَ وَصَلَّى إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ.

Then Moses went out from Pharaoh and made prayer to the Lord.

٣١ 31 فَفَعَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ كَقَوْلِ مُوسَى، فَٱرْتَفَعَ ٱلذُّبَّانُ عَنْ فِرْعَوْنَ وَعَبِيدِهِ وَشَعْبِهِ. لَمْ تَبْقَ وَاحِدَةٌ.

And the Lord did as Moses said, and took away the cloud of flies from Pharaoh and from his servants and from his people; not one was to be seen.

٣٢ 32 وَلَكِنْ أَغْلَظَ فِرْعَوْنُ قَلْبَهُ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَرَّةَ أَيْضًا فَلَمْ يُطْلِقِ ٱلشَّعْبَ.

But again Pharaoh made his heart hard and did not let the people go.
