خرُوج 33

١ 1 وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «اتْرُكْ هَذَا الْمَكَانَ أَنْتَ وَالشَّعْبُ الَّذِي أَصْعَدْتَهُ مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ، وَامْضِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَقْسَمْتُ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ قَائِلاً: سَأَهَبُهَا لِنَسْلِكَ.

And the LORD said to Moses, Depart, and go up from here, thou and the people which thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt, to the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, To thy seed will I give it:

٢ 2 وَسَأُرْسِلُ أَمَامَكَ مَلاكاً، وَأَطْرُدُ الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ وَالأَمُورِيِّينَ وَالْحِثِّيِّينَ وَالْفَرِزِّيِّينَ وَالْحِوِّيِّينَ وَالْيَبُوسِيِّينَ.

And I will send an angel before thee; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite:

٣ 3 إِنَّهَا أَرْضٌ تَفِيضُ لَبَناً وَعَسَلاً. أَمَّا أَنَا فَلَنْ أَسِيرَ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ لأَنَّكُمْ شَعْبٌ مُتَصَلِّبُ الْقَلْبِ لِئَلّا أَفْنِيَكُمْ فِي الطَّرِيقِ».

To a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the midst of thee; for thou art a stiffnecked people: lest I consume thee in the way.

٤ 4 فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ الْشَّعْبُ هَذَا الْكَلامَ الْقَاسِي، شَرَعُوا فِي النَّوْحِ، وَلَمْ يَتَزَيَّنْ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ.

And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned: and no man put on him his ornaments.

٥ 5 وَكَانَ الرَّبُّ قَدْ قَالَ لِمُوسَى: «قُلْ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْتُمْ شَعْبٌ مُتَصَلِّبُ الْقَلْبِ، لِهَذَا إِنْ بَقِيتُ لَحْظَةً وَاحِدَةً فِي وَسَطِكُمْ أَفْنِيكُمْ. وَلَكِنِ الْآنَ انْزَعُوا زِينَتَكُمْ عَنْكُمْ إِلَى أَنْ أَتَّخِذَ قَرَارِي بِشَأْنِكُمْ».

For the LORD had said to Moses, Say to the children of Israel, Ye are a stiffnecked people: I will come up into the midst of thee in a moment, and consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do to thee.

٦ 6 فَخَلَعَ الشَّعْبُ زِينَتَهُمْ عِنْدَ جَبَلِ حُورِيبَ.

And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by the mount Horeb.

٧ 7 وَأَخَذَ مُوسَى خَيْمَةً وَنَصَبَهَا بَعِيداً خَارِجَ الْمُخَيَّمِ، وَدَعَاهَا خَيْمَةَ الاجْتِمَاعِ. فَكَانَ كُلُّ مُلْتَمِسٍ لِلرَّبِّ يَسْعَى إِلَى خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ الْقَائِمَةِ خَارِجَ الْمُخَيَّمِ.

And Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it outside the camp, far from the camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the congregation. And it came to pass, that every one who sought the LORD went out to the tabernacle of the congregation, which was outside the camp.

٨ 8 وَكُلَّمَا مَضَى مُوسَى إِلَى الْخَيْمَةِ، كَانَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَ الشَّعْبِ يَقِفُ فِي بَابِ خَيْمَتِهِ، وَيُتَابِعُونَهُ بِأَنْظَارِهِمْ إِلَى أَنْ يَدْخُلَهَا.

And it came to pass, when Moses went out to the tabernacle, that all the people rose, and stood every man at his tent door, and looked after Moses, until he had gone into the tabernacle.

٩ 9 وَمَا إِنْ يَتَوَارَى مُوسَى فِيهَا، حَتَّى يَنْزِلَ عَمُودُ السَّحَابِ وَيَقِفَ عِنْدَ مَدْخَلِهَا، فَيَتَكَلَّمُ الرَّبُّ مَعَ مُوسَى،

And it came to pass, as Moses entered into the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and the LORD talked with Moses.

١٠ 10 فَيُشَاهِدُ جَمِيعُ الشَّعْبِ عَمُودَ السَّحَابِ وَاقِفاً عِنْدَ بَابِ الْخَيْمَةِ، فَيَسْجُدُونَ لِلرَّبِّ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ أَمَامَ بَابِ خَيْمَتِهِ،

And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle door: and all the people rose and worshipped, every man in his tent door.

١١ 11 فَكَانَ الرَّبُّ يُكَلِّمُ مُوسَى وَجْهاً لِوَجْهٍ كَمَا يُكَلِّمُ الإِنْسَانُ صَاحِبَهُ. وَإذَا رَجَعَ مُوسَى إِلَى الْمُخَيَّمِ، كَانَ خَادِمُهُ الشَّابُ يَشُوعُ بْنُ نُونَ يَمْكُثُ دَاخِلَ الْخَيْمَةِ.

And the LORD spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaketh to his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.

١٢ 12 وَقَالَ مُوسَى لِلرَّبَّ: «هَا أَنْتَ قَدْ قُلْتَ لِي: قُدْ هَذَا الشَّعْبَ، وَلَكِنْ لَمْ تُعْلِمْنِي مَنْ سَتُرْسِلُ مَعِي. ثُمَّ قُلْتَ: إِنِّي عَرَفْتُكَ بِاسْمِكَ وَحَظِيتَ بِرِضَايْ.

And Moses said to the LORD, See, thou sayest to me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight.

١٣ 13 فَالآنَ إِنْ كُنْتُ حَقّاً قَدْ حَظِيتُ بِرِضَاكَ، فَأَرْشِدْنِي إِلَى طَرِيقِكَ لِكَيْ أَسْلُكَ حَسَبَ قَصْدِكَ، وَأَحْظَى بِمَسَرَّتِكَ، وَاذْكُرْ أَيْضاً أَنَّ هَذِهِ الأُمَّةَ هِيَ شَعْبُكَ».

Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, show me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people.

١٤ 14 فَأَجَابَهُ: «إِنِّي أُرَافِقُكَ فَأُرِيحُكَ».

And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.

١٥ 15 فَقَالَ مُوسَى: «إِنْ لَمْ تُرَافِقْنَا، فَلا تُصْعِدْنَا مِنْ هُنَا،

And he said to him, If thy presence go not with me, lead us not up from here.

١٦ 16 إِذْ كَيْفَ يُدْرَكُ أَنَّنِي وَشَعْبَكَ قَدْ حَظِينَا بِرِضَاكَ؟ أَلَيْسَ بِمُرَافَقَتِكَ لَنَا، فَنَتَمَيَّزُ أَنَا وَشَعْبُكَ بِذَلِكَ عَنْ جَمِيعِ الشُّعُوبِ السَّاكِنِينَ فِي الأَرْضِ؟»

For how then shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth.

١٧ 17 فَأَجَابَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى: «سَأَفْعَلُ عَيْنَ هَذَا الأَمْرِ الَّذِي الْتَمَسْتَهُ. لأَنَّكَ حَظِيتَ بِرِضَايْ وَأَنَا عَرَفْتُكَ بِاسْمِكَ».

And the LORD said to Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name.

١٨ 18 وَقَالَ مُوسَى: «أَرِنِي مَجْدَكَ».

And he said, I beseech thee, show me thy glory.

١٩ 19 فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ: «أُجِيزُ إِحْسَانَاتِي أَمَامَكَ، وَأُذِيعُ اسْمِي (الرَّبَّ) أَمَامَكَ. أُغْدِقُ رَأْفَتِي عَلَى مَنْ أَشَاءُ وَرَحْمَتِي عَلَى مَنْ أُرِيدُ»،

And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.

٢٠ 20 وَأَضَافَ: «وَلَكِنَّكَ لَنْ تَرَى وَجْهِي، لأَنَّ الإِنْسَانَ الَّذِي يَرَانِي لَا يَعِيشُ».

And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.

٢١ 21 ثُمَّ قَالَ الرَّبُّ: «لَدَيَّ مَكَانٌ قَرِيبٌ مِنِّي. فَقِفْ عَلَى الصَّخْرَةِ،

And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:

٢٢ 22 وَعِنْدَمَا يَعْبُرُ مَجْدِي، أَضَعُكَ فِي نُقْرَةٍ مِنَ الصَّخْرِ، وَأَحْجُبُكَ بِيَدِي حَتَّى أَعْبُرَ،

And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a cleft of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:

٢٣ 23 ثُمَّ أَرْفَعُ يَدِي فَتَنْظُرُ وَرَائِي، أَمَّا وَجْهِي فَيَظَلُّ مَحْجُوباً عَنِ الْعِيَانِ».

And I will take away my hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.
