خرُوج 10
| وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «امْثُلْ أَمَامَ فِرْعَوْنَ لأَنَّنِي قَدْ قَسَّيْتُ قَلْبَهُ وَقُلُوبَ حَاشِيَتِهِ لِكَيْ أُجْرِيَ آيَاتِي هَذِهِ بَيْنَهُمْ، | ١ 1 |
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart and the hearts of his officials, that I may perform these miraculous signs of Mine among them,
| لِكَيْ تُخْبِرَ فِي مَسَامِعِ بَنِيكَ وَأَحْفَادِكَ عَمَّا ابْتَلَيْتُ بِهِ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ وَبِآيَاتِي الَّتِي أَجْرَيْتُهَا بَيْنَهُمْ فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ». | ٢ 2 |
and that you may tell your children and grandchildren how severely I dealt with the Egyptians when I performed miraculous signs among them, so that all of you may know that I am the LORD.”
| فَمَثَلَ مُوسَى وَهَرُونُ أَمَامَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَقَالا لَهُ: «هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ الْعِبْرَانِيِّينَ: إِلَى مَتَى تَأْبَى أَنْ تَخْضَعَ لِي؟ أَطْلِقْ شَعْبِي لِيَعْبُدَنِي. | ٣ 3 |
So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and told him, “This is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: ‘How long will you refuse to humble yourself before Me? Let My people go, so that they may worship Me.
| وَإذَا أَبَيْتَ أَنْ تُطْلِقَ شَعْبِي، فَهَا أَنَا أَجْلِبُ غَداً الْجَرَادَ عَلَى تُخُومِكَ، | ٤ 4 |
But if you refuse to let My people go, I will bring locusts into your territory tomorrow.
| فَيُغَطِّي وَجْهَ الأَرْضِ، فَيَعْسُرُ عَلَى أَحَدٍ أَنْ يَرَاهَا، وَيَلْتَهِمُ الْبَقِيَّةَ الْمُتَخَلِّفَةَ لَكُمْ عَنِ الْبَرَدِ، وَكُلَّ شَجَرَةٍ نَابِتَةٍ لَكُمْ فِي الْحَقْلِ، | ٥ 5 |
They will cover the face of the land so that no one can see it. They will devour whatever is left after the hail and eat every tree that grows in your fields.
| وَيَمْلأُ بُيُوتَكَ وَبُيُوتَ حَاشِيَتِكَ وَبُيُوتَ جَمِيعِ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ، الأَمْرُ الَّذِي لَمْ يَشْهَدْ مِثْلَهُ آبَاؤُكَ وَلا أَجْدَادُكَ مُنْذُ أَنِ اسْتَوْطَنُوا هَذِهِ الأَرْضَ إِلَى الآنَ». ثُمَّ تَحَوَّلَ وَانْصَرَفَ مِنْ لَدُنْ فِرْعَوْنَ. | ٦ 6 |
They will fill your houses and the houses of all your officials and every Egyptian—something neither your fathers nor your grandfathers have seen since the day they came into this land.’” Then Moses turned and left Pharaoh’s presence.
| فَقَالَتْ حَاشِيَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ لَهُ: «إِلَى مَتَى يَظَلُّ هَذَا الرَّجُلُ شَرَكاً لَنَا؟ أَطْلِقِ الشَّعْبَ لِيَعْبُدُوا الرَّبَّ إِلَهَهُمْ. أَلَمْ تَعْلَمْ أَنَّ مِصْرَ قَدْ عَمَّهَا الْخَرَابُ؟» | ٧ 7 |
Pharaoh’s officials asked him, “How long will this man be a snare to us? Let the people go, so that they may worship the LORD their God. Do you not yet realize that Egypt is in ruins?”
| فَاسْتُدْعِيَ مُوسَى وَهَرُونُ ثَانِيَةً لِلْمُثُولِ أَمَامَ فِرْعَوْنَ، وَقَالَ لَهُمَا: «امْضُوا وَاعْبُدُوا الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ، وَلَكِنْ مَنْ هُمُ الَّذِينَ سَيَذْهَبُونَ؟» | ٨ 8 |
So Moses and Aaron were brought back to Pharaoh. “Go, worship the LORD your God,” he said. “But who exactly will be going?”
| فَأَجَابَ مُوسَى: «نَذْهَبُ بِفِتْيَانِنَا وَشُيُوخِنَا. نَذْهَبُ بِبَنِينَا وَبَنَاتِنَا، بِمَوَاشِينَا وَقُطْعَانِنَا لأَنَّهُ يَجِبُ أَنْ نُقِيمَ عِيداً لِلرَّبِّ». | ٩ 9 |
“We will go with our young and old,” Moses replied. “We will go with our sons and daughters, and with our flocks and herds, for we must hold a feast to the LORD.”
| فَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ: «لِيَكُنِ الرَّبُّ بِعَوْنِكُمْ إنْ أَنَا أَطْلَقْتُكُمْ مَعَ نِسَائِكُمْ وَأَوْلادِكُمْ. فَمِنَ الْجَلِيِّ أَنَّكُمْ عَازِمُونَ عَلَى الشَّرِّ. | ١٠ 10 |
Then Pharaoh told them, “May the LORD be with you if I ever let you go with your little ones. Clearly you are bent on evil.
| لا، فَلْيَمْضِ الرِّجَالُ فَقَطْ لِعِبَادَةِ الرَّبِّ، لأَنَّ هَذَا هُوَ مَا تَطْلُبُونَهُ». ثُمَّ طُرِدَا مِنْ حَضْرَةِ فِرْعَوْنَ. | ١١ 11 |
No, only the men may go and worship the LORD, since that is what you have been requesting.” And Moses and Aaron were driven from Pharaoh’s presence.
| فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «ابْسُطْ يَدَكَ عَلَى أَرْضِ مِصْرَ لِتُبْتَلَى بِالجَّرَادِ، فَيُغَطِّي بِلادَ مِصْرَ وَيَلْتَهِمَ كُلَّ نَبَاتِ الأَرْضِ الْمُتَخَلِّفِ عَنِ الْبَرَدِ». | ١٢ 12 |
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt, so that the locusts may swarm over it and devour every plant in the land—everything that the hail has left behind.”
| فَمَدَّ مُوسَى عَصَاهُ عَلَى أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، فَأَرْسَلَ الرَّبُّ عَلَيْهِمْ رِيحاً شَرْقِيَّةً طَوَالَ ذَلِكَ النَّهَارِ وَاللَّيْلِ، وَمَا إِنْ أَقْبَلَ الصَّبَاحُ حَتَّى حَمَلَتِ الرِّيحُ الشَّرْقِيَّةُ الْجَرَادَ. | ١٣ 13 |
So Moses stretched out his staff over the land of Egypt, and throughout that day and night the LORD sent an east wind across the land. By morning the east wind had brought the locusts.
| فَانْتَشَرَ الْجَرَادُ فِي كُلِّ بِلادِ مِصْرَ، وَحَلَّ فِي جَمِيعِ تُخُومِهَا بِأَسْرَابٍ عَظِيمَةٍ، فَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ نَظِيرٌ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَلَنْ يَحْدُثَ مِثْلُهُ فِيمَا بَعْدُ. | ١٤ 14 |
The locusts swarmed across the land and settled over the entire territory of Egypt. Never before had there been so many locusts, and never again will there be.
| فَقَدْ غَطَّى وَجْهَ كُلِّ الأَرْضِ حَتَّى أَظْلَمَتْ، وَالْتَهَمَ كُلَّ عُشْبٍ فِيهَا وَكُلَّ أَثْمَارِ الأَشْجَارِ الَّتِي خَلَّفَهَا الْبَرَدُ، فَلَمْ يَبْقَ شَيْءٌ أَخْضَرُ لَا عَلَى الأَشْجَارِ وَلا فِي حُقُولِ الْمَزْرُوعَاتِ فِي كُلِّ أَرْجَاءِ مِصْرَ. | ١٥ 15 |
They covered the face of all the land until it was black, and they consumed all the plants on the ground and all the fruit on the trees that the hail had left behind. Nothing green was left on any tree or plant in all the land of Egypt.
| عِنْدَئِذٍ أَسْرَعَ فِرْعَوْنُ فَاسْتَدْعَى مُوسَى وَهَرُونَ قَائِلاً: «لَقَدْ أَخْطَأْتُ إِلَى الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ وَإِلَيْكُمَا. | ١٦ 16 |
Pharaoh quickly summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “I have sinned against the LORD your God and against you.
| فَاصْفَحَا هَذِهِ الْمَرَّةَ فَقَطْ عَنْ خَطِيئَتِي وَابْتَهِلا إِلَى الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمَا كَيْ يُزِيلَ عَنِّي هَذَا الْبَلاءَ الْمُمِيتَ». | ١٧ 17 |
Now please forgive my sin once more and appeal to the LORD your God, that He may remove this death from me.”
| فَانْصَرَفَ مُوسَى مِنْ لَدُنْ فِرْعَوْنَ وَابْتَهَلَ إِلَى الرَّبِّ، | ١٨ 18 |
So Moses left Pharaoh’s presence and appealed to the LORD.
| فَأَرْسَلَ الرَّبُّ رِيحاً غَرْبِيَّةً عَاصِفَةً حَمَلَتِ الْجَرَادَ وَطَرَحَتْهُ فِي الْبَحْرِ الأَحْمَرِ، فَلَمْ تَبْقَ جَرَادَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ فِي جَمِيعِ أَرْجَاءِ مِصْرَ. | ١٩ 19 |
And the LORD changed the wind to a very strong west wind that carried off the locusts and blew them into the Red Sea. Not a single locust remained anywhere in Egypt.
| وَلَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ صَلَّبَ قَلْبَ فِرْعَوْنَ فَلَمْ يُطْلِقْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٢٠ 20 |
But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not let the Israelites go.
| فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «ابْسُطْ يَدَكَ نَحْوَ السَّمَاءِ فَيَطْغَى ظَلامٌ عَلَى كُلِّ أَرْجَاءِ مِصْرَ حَتَّى يَكَادَ يُلْمَسُ لِكَثَافَتِهِ». | ٢١ 21 |
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward heaven, so that darkness may spread over the land of Egypt—a palpable darkness.”
| فَبَسَطَ مُوسَى يَدَهُ نَحْوَ السَّمَاءِ، فَطَغَى ظَلامٌ كَثِيفٌ عَلَى كُلِّ أَرْجَاءِ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ لِمُدَّةِ ثَلاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ. | ٢٢ 22 |
So Moses stretched out his hand toward heaven, and total darkness covered all the land of Egypt for three days.
| فَلَمْ يَتَمَكَّنْ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَنْ يَرَى أَخَاهُ، وَلا غَادَرَ أَحَدٌ مَكَانَهُ طَوَالَ ثَلاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ. غَيْرَ أَنَّ النُّورَ كَانَ يَغْمُرُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي أَمَاكِنِ إِقَامَتِهِمْ. | ٢٣ 23 |
No one could see anyone else, and for three days no one left his place. Yet all the Israelites had light in their dwellings.
| فَاسْتَدْعَى فِرْعَوْنُ مُوسَى وَقَالَ: «اذْهَبُوا وَاعْبُدُوا الرَّبَّ، وَلَكِنِ اتْرُكُوا وَرَاءَكُمْ مَاشِيَتَكُمْ وَقُطْعَانَكُمْ: أَمَّا صِغَارُكُمْ فَلْيَمْضُوا مَعَكُمْ أَيْضاً». | ٢٤ 24 |
Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and said, “Go, worship the LORD. Even your little ones may go with you; only your flocks and herds must stay behind.”
| فَقَالَ مُوسَى: «عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تَسْمَحَ لَنَا بِأَخْذِ ذَبَائِحَ مُحْرَقَاتٍ لِنُقَدِّمَهَا لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا. | ٢٥ 25 |
But Moses replied, “You must also provide us with sacrifices and burnt offerings to present to the LORD our God.
| لِذَلِكَ تَذْهَبُ مَوَاشِينَا مَعْنَا أَيْضاً، فَلا يَبْقَى مِنْهَا ظِلْفٌ وَاحِدٌ، لأَنَّ عَلَيْنَا أَنْ نَخْتَارَ مِنْهَا لِعِبَادَةِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا، وَلا يُمْكِنُنَا أَنْ نَعْرِفَ مَاذَا نَخْتَارُ مِنْهَا لِنَعْبُدَ الرَّبَّ حَتَّى نَصِلَ إِلَى هُنَاكَ». | ٢٦ 26 |
Even our livestock must go with us; not a hoof will be left behind, for we will need some of them to worship the LORD our God, and we will not know how we are to worship the LORD until we arrive.”
| وَلَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ صَلَّبَ قَلْبَ فِرْعَوْنَ فَلَمْ يُطْلِقْ سَرَاحَهُمْ. | ٢٧ 27 |
But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he was unwilling to let them go.
| وَقَالَ لَهُ فِرْعَوْنُ: «اذْهَبْ عَنِّي، وَاحْذَرْ لِنَفْسِكَ. لَا تَمْثُلْ أَمَامِي مَرَّةً أُخْرَى، فَيَوْمَ تَرَى وَجْهِي تَمُوتُ». | ٢٨ 28 |
“Depart from me!” Pharaoh said to Moses. “Make sure you never see my face again, for on the day you see my face, you will die.”
| فَقَالَ مُوسَى: «حَسَناً قُلْتَ، فَأَنَا لَنْ أَرَى وَجْهَكَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى». | ٢٩ 29 |
“As you say,” Moses replied, “I will never see your face again.”
