خرُوج 4
| فَقَالَ مُوسَى: «مَاذَا إذَا لَمْ يُصَدِّقُونِي وَلَمْ يُصْغُوا إلَيَّ وَقَالُوا: إِنَّ الرَّبَّ لَمْ يَظْهَرْ لَكَ؟» | ١ 1 |
And Moses answered and said, If they believe me not, and do not hearken to my voice (for they will say, God has not appeared to thee), what shall I say to them?
| فَسَأَلَهُ الرَّبُّ: «مَا تِلْكَ الَّتِي بِيَدِكَ؟» فَأَجَابَ: «عَصاً». | ٢ 2 |
And the Lord said to him, What is this thing that is in thine hand? and he said, A rod.
| فَقَالَ: «أَلْقِهَا عَلَى الأَرْضِ». فَأَلْقَاهَا فَإِذَا هِيَ حَيَّةٌ، فَهَرَبَ مِنْهَا مُوسَى. | ٣ 3 |
And he said, Cast it on the ground: and he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent, and Moses fled from it.
| فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «مُدَّ يَدَكَ وَاقْبِضْ عَلَيْهَا مِنْ ذَيْلِهَا». فَمَدَّ مُوسَى يَدَهُ وَقَبَضَ عَلَيْهَا، فَارْتَدَّتْ عَصاً فِي يَدِهِ. | ٤ 4 |
And the Lord said to Moses, Stretch forth thine hand, and take hold of its tail: so he stretched forth his hand and took hold of the tail,
| وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ: «هَذَا لِكَي يُؤْمِنُوا أَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَ آبَائِكُمْ، إِلَهَ إبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِلَهَ إسْحاقَ وَإِلَهَ يَعْقُوبَ قَدْ ظَهَرَ لَكَ». | ٥ 5 |
and it became a rod in his hand, —that they may believe thee, that the God of thy fathers has appeared to thee, the God of Abraam, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob.
| ثُمَّ قَالَ الرَّبُّ أَيْضاً: «أَدْخِلْ يَدَكَ فِي عُبِّكَ». فَأَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فِي عُبِّهِ. وَعِنْدَمَا أَخْرَجَهَا إِذَا بِها بَرْصَاءُ كَالثَّلْجِ. | ٦ 6 |
And the Lord said again to him, Put thine hand into thy bosom; and he put his hand into his bosom, and brought his hand out of his bosom, and his hand became as snow.
| وَأَمَرَهُ الرَّبُّ: «رُدَّ يَدَكَ إِلَى عُبِّكَ ثَانِيَةً». فَرَدَّ يَدَهُ إِلَى عُبِّهِ ثَانِيَةً ثُمَّ أَخْرَجَهَا مِنْ عُبِّهِ، وَإذَا بِها قَدْ عَادَتْ مِثْلَ بَاقِي جَسَدِهِ. | ٧ 7 |
And he said again, Put thy hand into thy bosom; and he put his hand into his bosom, and brought his hand out of his bosom, and it was again restored to the complexion of his [other] flesh.
| وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ: «إِذَا لَمْ يُصَدِّقُوكَ، أَوْ يُعِيرُوا الْمُعْجِزَةَ الأُولَى انْتِبَاهَهُمْ، فَإِنَّهُمْ يُصَدِّقُونَ الثَّانِيَةَ. | ٨ 8 |
And if they will not believe thee, nor hearken to the voice of the first sign, they will believe thee [because] of the voice of the second sign.
| وَإذَا لَمْ يُصَدِّقُوا هَاتَيْنِ الآيَتَيْنِ وَلَمْ يُصْغُوا لِكَلامِكَ، فَاغْرِفْ مِنْ مَاءِ النَّهْرِ وَاسْكُبْهُ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ الْجَافَّةِ، فَيَتَحَوَّلَ الْمَاءُ الَّذِي غَرَفْتَهُ مِنَ النَّهْرِ إِلَى دَمٍ فَوْقَ الأَرْضِ». | ٩ 9 |
And it shall come to pass if they will not believe thee for these two signs, and will not hearken to thy voice, that thou shalt take of the water of the river and pour it upon the dry land, and the water which thou shalt take from the river shall be blood upon the dry land.
| فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِلرَّبِّ: «أَصْغِ يَا رَبُّ، أَنَا لَمْ أَكُنْ فِي يَوْمٍ مِنَ الأَيَّامِ فَصِيحاً، لَا فِي الأَمْسِ، وَلا مُنْذُ أَنْ خَاطَبْتَ عَبْدَكَ. إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَطِيءُ النُّطْقِ عَيِيُّ اللِّسَانِ». | ١٠ 10 |
And Moses said to the Lord, I pray, Lord, I have not been sufficient in former times, neither from the time that thou hast begun to speak to thy servant: I am weak in speech, and slow-tongued.
| فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لَهُ: «مَنْ هُوَ بَارِئُ فَمِ الإِنْسَانِ؟ أَوْ مَنْ يَجْعَلُهُ أَخْرَسَ أَوْ أَصَمَّ أَوْ بَصِيراً أَوْ كَفِيفاً؟ أَلَسْتُ أَنَا، الرَّبَّ؟ | ١١ 11 |
And the Lord said to Moses, Who has given a mouth to man, and who has made the very hard of hearing, and the deaf, the seeing and the blind? have not I, God?
| فَالآنَ انْطَلِقْ فَأُلَقِّنَ فَمَكَ النُّطْقَ، وَأُعَلِّمَكَ مَاذَا تَقُولُ». | ١٢ 12 |
And now go and I will open thy mouth, and will instruct thee in what thou shalt say.
| لَكِنَّ مُوسَى أَجَابَ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، أَتَوَسَّلُ إِلَيْكَ أَنْ تُرْسِلَ مَنْ تَشَاءُ غَيْرِي». | ١٣ 13 |
And Moses said, I pray thee, Lord, appoint another able [person] whom thou shalt send.
| فَاحْتَدَمَ غَضَبُ الرَّبِّ عَلَى مُوسَى وَقَالَ: «أَلَيْسَ هَرُونُ اللّاوِيُّ أَخَاكَ؟ أَنَا أَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ يُحْسِنُ الْكَلامَ، وَهَا هُوَ أَيْضاً قَادِمٌ لِلِقَائِكَ. وَحَالَمَا يَرَاكَ يَبْتَهِجُ قَلْبُهُ. | ١٤ 14 |
And the Lord was greatly angered against Moses, and said, Lo! is not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know that he will surely speak to thee; and, behold, he will come forth to meet thee, and beholding thee he will rejoice within himself.
| فَتُحَدِّثُهُ وَتُلَقِّنُ فَمَهُ الْكَلامَ، فَأُعِينُكُمَا عَلَى الْقَوْلِ، وَأُعَلِّمُكُمَا مَاذَا تَفْعَلانِ، | ١٥ 15 |
And thou shalt speak to him; and thou shalt put my words into his mouth, and I will open thy mouth and his mouth, and I will instruct you in what ye shall do.
| فَيُخَاطِبُ هُوَ الشَّعْبَ عَنْكَ ويَكُونُ لَكَ بِمَثَابَةِ فَمٍ وَأَنْتَ تَكُونُ لَهُ بِمَثَابَةِ إِلَهٍ. | ١٦ 16 |
And he shall speak for thee to the people, and he shall be thy mouth, and thou shalt be for him in things pertaining to God.
| وَخُذْ بِيَدِكَ هَذِهِ الْعَصَا لِتَصْنَعَ بِها الْمُعْجِزَاتِ». | ١٧ 17 |
And this rod that was turned into a serpent thou shalt take in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt work miracles.
| فَرَجَعَ مُوسَى إِلَى يَثْرُونَ حَمِيهِ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «دَعْنِي أَعُودُ إِلَى قَوْمِي فِي مِصْرَ لأَرَى أَمَازَالُوا بَعْدُ أَحْيَاءَ». فَأَجَابَ يَثْرُونُ مُوسَى: «اذْهَبْ بِسَلامٍ». | ١٨ 18 |
And Moses went and returned to Jothor his father-in-law, and says, I will go and return to my brethren in Egypt, and will see if they are yet living. And Jothor said to Moses, Go in health. And in those days after some time, the king of Egypt died.
| وَأَمَرَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى فِي مِدْيَانَ: «هَيَّا ارْجِعْ إِلَى مِصْرَ، فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ مَاتَ جَمِيعُ السَّاعِينَ إِلَى الْقَضَاءِ عَلَيْكَ». | ١٩ 19 |
And the Lord said to Moses in Madiam, Go, depart into Egypt, for all that sought thy life are dead.
| فَأَخَذَ مُوسَى امْرَأَتَهُ وَبَنِيهِ وَأَرْكَبَهُمْ عَلَى الْحَمِيرِ وَمَضَى عَائِداً إِلَى أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. وَأَخَذَ مَعَهُ عَصَا اللهِ أَيْضاً. | ٢٠ 20 |
And Moses took his wife and his children, and mounted them on the beasts, and returned to Egypt; and Moses took the rod [which he had] from God in his hand.
| وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «حَالَمَا تَرْجِعُ إِلَى مِصْرَ، تَذَكَّرْ أَنْ تُجْرِيَ أَمَامَ فِرْعَوْنَ جَمِيعَ الْعَجَائِبِ الَّتِي مَنَحْتُكَ الْقُوَّةَ عَلَى إِجْرَائِهَا، وَلَكِنَّنِي سَأُقَسِّي قَلْبَهُ لِكَيْ لَا يُطْلِقَ الشَّعْبَ. | ٢١ 21 |
And the Lord said to Moses, When thou goest and returnest to Egypt, see—all the miracles I have charged thee with, thou shalt work before Pharao: and I will harden his heart, and he shall certainly not send away the people.
| ثُمَّ قُلْ لِفِرْعَوْنَ: هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: إِسْرَائِيلُ هُوَ ابْنِي الْبِكْرُ. | ٢٢ 22 |
And thou shalt say to Pharao, These things saith the Lord, Israel [is] my first-born.
| قُلْتُ لَكَ: أَطْلِقِ ابْنِي لِيَعْبُدَنِي، وَلَكِنَّكَ رَفَضْتَ إِطْلاقَهُ، لِذَلِكَ سَأُهْلِكُ ابْنَكَ الْبِكْرَ». | ٢٣ 23 |
And I said to thee, Send away my people, that they may serve me: now if thou wilt not send them away, see, I will slay thy first-born son.
| وَفِي أَثْنَاءِ الطَّرِيقِ، بِالقُرْبِ مِنْ خَانٍ، الْتَقَاهُ الرَّبُّ وَهَمَّ أَنْ يَقْتُلَهُ. | ٢٤ 24 |
And it came to pass [that] the angel of the Lord met him by the way in the inn, and sought to slay him.
| فَأَخَذَتْ صَفُّورَةُ صَوَّانَةً وَقَطَعَتْ قُلْفَةَ ابْنِهَا وَمَسَّتْ بِها قَدَمَيْ مُوسَى قَائِلَةً: «حَقّاً إِنَّكَ عَرِيسُ دَمٍ لِي». | ٢٥ 25 |
and Sepphora having taken a stone cut off the foreskin of her son, and fell at his feet and said, The blood of the circumcision of my son is staunched:
| فَعَفَا الرَّبُّ عَنْهُ. حِينَئِذٍ قَالَتْ: «عَرِيسُ دَمٍ مِنْ أَجْلِ الْخِتَانِ». | ٢٦ 26 |
and he departed from him, because she said, The blood of the circumcision of my son is staunched.
| وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِهَرُونَ: «اذْهَبْ إِلَى الصَّحْرَاءِ لاِسْتِقْبَالِ مُوسَى». فَمَضَى وَالْتَقَاهُ عِنْدَ جَبَلِ الرَّبِّ وَقَبَّلَهُ. | ٢٧ 27 |
And the Lord said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses; and he went and met him in the mount of God, and they kissed each other.
| فَأَطْلَعَ مُوسَى هَرُونَ عَلَى جَمِيعِ كَلامِ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي حَمَّلَهُ إِيَّاهُ، وَمَا كَلَّفَهُ بِهِ مِنْ آيَاتٍ، | ٢٨ 28 |
And Moses reported to Aaron all the words of the Lord, which he sent, and all the things which he charged him.
| ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ مُوسَى وَهَرُونُ وَجَمَعَا كُلَّ شُيُوخِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، | ٢٩ 29 |
And Moses and Aaron went and gathered the elders of the children of Israel.
| فَحَدَّثَهُمْ هَرُونُ بِجَمِيعِ مَا قَالَهُ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى. وَأَجْرَى مُوسَى الْمُعْجِزَاتِ أَمَامَهُمْ. | ٣٠ 30 |
And Aaron spoke all these words, which God spoke to Moses, and wrought the miracles before the people.
| فَآمَنَ الشَّعْبُ. وَعِنْدَمَا سَمِعُوا أَنَّ اللهَ قَدِ افْتَقَدَهُمْ وَنَظَرَ إِلَى مَذَلَّتِهِمْ انْحَنَوْا سَاجِدِينَ. | ٣١ 31 |
and the people believed and rejoiced, because God visited the children of Israel, and because he saw their affliction: and the people bowed and worshipped.
