خرُوج 6
| فَأَجَابَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى: «سَتَرَى الآنَ مَا أَنَا فَاعِلُهُ بِفِرْعَوْنَ، لأَنَّنِي بِيَدٍ قَدِيرَةٍ سَأَجْعَلُهُ يُطْلِقُهُمْ، بَلْ يَطْرُدُهُمْ طَرْداً أَيْضاً». | ١ 1 |
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Now you will see what I will do to the king [and his people]. I will powerfully [MTY] compel him to let my people go. In fact, by my power [MTY] [I will force] him to expel them from his land!”
| وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ. | ٢ 2 |
God also said to Moses/me, “I am Yahweh.
| قَدْ ظَهَرْتُ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ إِلَهاً قَدِيراً عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ. أَمَّا اسْمِي يَهْوَهْ (أَيِ الرَّبُّ) فَلَمْ أُعْلِنْهُ لَهُمْ. | ٣ 3 |
I am the one who appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and [told them that I] was God Almighty, but I did not [tell] them that my name [was Yahweh].
| وَقَدْ قَطَعْتُ مَعَهُمْ أَيْضاً عَهْدِي بِأَنْ أَهَبَهُمْ أَرْضَ كَنْعَانَ حَيْثُ أَقَامُوا فِيهَا كَغُرَبَاءَ. | ٤ 4 |
I also made my solemn agreement with them, promising to give them the Canaan region. That was the area in which they were living as foreigners.
| كَذَلِكَ أَصْغَيْتُ إِلَى أَنِينِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ الْمُسْتَعْبَدِينَ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ، وَتَذَكَّرْتُ عَهْدِي | ٥ 5 |
Furthermore, I have heard the Israeli people as they were groaning [because of the hard work that] the Egyptians forced them to do as their slaves. I have thought about that solemn promise [that I made].
| لِهَذَا قُلْ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِنَّنِي أَنَا الرَّبُّ وَأَنَا أُحَرِّرُكُمْ مِنْ أَثْقَالِ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ وَأُنْقِذُكُمْ مِنْ عُبُودِيَّتِهِمْ، وَأُخَلِّصُكُمْ بِذِرَاعٍ مَمْدُودَةٍ وَأَحْكَامٍ قَوِيَّةٍ. | ٦ 6 |
So tell the Israeli people that [I said this: ] ‘I am Yahweh. I will free you from the burdens [of heavy work] that the Egyptians [have given you]. I will free you from being their slaves. With my great power [MTY] and by punishing them [MTY] very severely, I will save you.
| وَأَتَّخِذُكُمْ لِي شَعْباً وَأَكُونُ لَكُمْ إِلَهاً، فَتَعْرِفُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ مُحَرِّرُكُمْ مِنْ أَثْقَالِ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ. | ٧ 7 |
I will cause you to be my own people, and I will be your God, [the one you worship]. You will truly know that I, Yahweh your God, am the one who has freed you from the burdens [of work as slaves] of the Egyptians.
| وَأَقُودُكُمْ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَقْسَمْتُ أَنْ أَهَبَهَا لإِبْرَاهِيمَ وإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ لأُعْطِيَهَا لَكُمْ مِلْكاً. أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ». | ٨ 8 |
And I will bring you to the land that I solemnly promised to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. You will possess it [forever]. I, Yahweh, am [promising this].’”
| فَخَاطَبَ مُوسَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، لَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يُصْغُوا إِلَيْهِ لِتَوَجُّعِ نُفُوسِهِمْ وَعُبُودِيَّتِهِمِ الْقَاسِيَةِ. | ٩ 9 |
Moses/I told that to the Israeli people, but they did not believe what he/I said. They were very discouraged [IDM] because of the hard work [that they had been forced to do as slaves].
| وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: | ١٠ 10 |
Yahweh said to Moses/me,
| «امْثُلْ أَمَامَ فِرْعَوْنَ مَلِكِ مِصْرَ وَاطْلُبْ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يُطْلِقَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنَ الأَرْضِ». | ١١ 11 |
“Go and tell the king of Egypt [again] that he must allow the Israeli people to leave his land!”
| فَأَجَابَ مُوسَى: «هُوَذَا بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ لَمْ يُصْغُوا إِلَيَّ، فَكَيْفَ يَسْتَمِعُ إِلَيَّ فِرْعَوْنُ وَأَنَا ثَقِيلُ اللِّسَانِ؟» | ١٢ 12 |
But Moses/I said to Yahweh, “Listen [to what I am saying]. [Even] the Israeli people have not paid attention to what I [told them]. But I am a poor speaker. [MET, MTY] So (why should the king pay attention to what I tell him?/the king will certainly not pay attention to what I [tell him]!)” [RHQ]
| فَخَاطَبَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى وَهَرُونَ وَأَمَرَهُمَا أَنْ يَرْجِعَا إِلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَفِرْعَوْنَ مَلِكِ مِصْرَ، لِكَيْ يُطْلِقَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. | ١٣ 13 |
But Yahweh spoke to Aaron and Moses/me and commanded them/us, “Tell the Israeli people and the king of Egypt that I have [commissioned you two] to lead the Israeli people out of Egypt.”
| وَهَؤُلاءِ هُمْ رُؤَسَاءُ الْعَشَائِرِ الْمُتَفَرِّعَةِ عَنْ أَبْنَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: أَبْنَاءُ رَأُوبَيْنَ بِكْرِ إِسْرَائِيلَ حَنُوكُ وَفَلُّو وَحَصْرُونُ وَكَرْمِي: هَذِهِ عَشَائِرُ رَأُوبَيْنَ. | ١٤ 14 |
(Here is/I will now give you) a list of the ancestors of [Moses/me and Aaron]: The sons of Reuben, who was Jacob’s oldest son, [were] Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi. They were [ancestors of] the clans [that have those same names].
| أَبْنَاءُ شِمْعُونَ يَمُوئِيلُ وَيَامِينُ وَأُوهَدُ وَيَاكِينُ وَصُوحَرُ وَشَأُولُ وأُمُّهُ كَنْعَانِيَّةٌ: هَذِهِ هِي عَشَائِرُ شِمْعُونَ. | ١٥ 15 |
The sons of Simeon [were] Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Shaul. Shaul’s mother was a woman from the Canaan people-group. Those men also were [ancestors of] clans [that have those same names].
| وَهَذِهِ أَسْمَاءُ أَبْنَاءِ لاوِي حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ: جِرْشُونُ وَقَهَاتُ وَمَرَارِي. وَقَدْ عَاشَ لاوِي مِئَةً وَسَبْعاً وَثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً. | ١٦ 16 |
These are the names of the sons of Levi, in the order in which they were born: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. Levi was 137 years old [when he died].
| أَمَّا ابْنَا جِرْشُونَ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمَا فَهُمَا: لِبْنِي وَشِمْعِي. | ١٧ 17 |
The sons of Gershon [were] Libni and Shimei. They were ancestors of clans that have those names.
| وَأَبْنَاءُ قَهَاتَ هُمْ: عَمْرَامُ وَيِصْهَارُ وَحَبْرُونُ وَعُزِّيئِيلُ. وَقَدْ عَاشَ قَهَاتُ مِئَةً وَثَلاثاً وَثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً. | ١٨ 18 |
The sons of Kohath [were] Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel. Kohath was 133 years old [when he died].
| وَابْنَا مَرَارِي هُمَا مَحْلِي وَمُوشِي. هَذِهِ هِيَ عَشَائِرُ اللّاوِيِّينَ بِحَسَبِ سِجِلِّ مَوَالِيدِهِمْ. | ١٩ 19 |
The sons of Merari [were] Mahli and Mushi. All of those people whose names [I have listed] belonged to tribes/clans descended from Levi, in the order in which they were born.
| وَتَزَوَّجَ عَمْرَامُ عَمَّتَهُ يُوكَابَدَ فَأَنْجَبَتْ لَهُ هَرُونَ وَمُوسَى. وَقَدْ عَاشَ عَمْرَامُ مِئَةً وَسَبْعاً وَثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً. | ٢٠ 20 |
Amram married his father’s sister, Jochebed. She was the mother of Aaron and Moses/me. Amram was 137 years old [when he died].
| وَأَبْنَاءُ يِصْهَارَ هُمْ: قُورَحُ وَنَافَجُ وَذِكْرِي. | ٢١ 21 |
The sons of Izhar were Korah, Nepheg, and Zichri.
| أَبْنَاءُ عُزِّيئِيلَ هُمْ: مِيشَائِيلُ وأَلْصَافَانُ وَسِتْرِي | ٢٢ 22 |
The sons of Uzziel were Mishael, Elzaphan, and Sithri.
| وَتَزَوَّجَ هَرُونُ مِنْ أَلِيشَابَعَ ابْنَةِ عَمِّينَادَابَ أُخْتِ نَحْشُونَ فَأَنْجَبَتْ لَهُ نَادَابَ وَأَبِيهُوَ وَأَلِعَازَارَ وإِيثَامَارَ. | ٢٣ 23 |
Aaron married Elisheba. She was the daughter of Amminadab and sister of Nahshon. Elisheba gave birth to [four sons]: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
| وَأَبْنَاءُ قُورَحَ هُمْ: أَسِّيرُ وَأَلْقَانَةُ وَأَبِيَأَسَافُ: هَذِهِ هِيَ عَشَائِرُ الْقُورَحِيِّينَ. | ٢٤ 24 |
The sons of Korah [were] Assir, Elkanah, and Abiasaph. They were the ancestors of the Korah people-group.
| وَتَزَوَّجَ أَلِعَازَارُ بنُ هَرُونَ مِنْ إِحْدَى بَنَاتِ فُوطِيئِيلَ فَأَنْجَبَتْ لَهُ فِيْنحَاسَ. هَؤُلاءِ رُؤَسَاءُ آبَاءِ اللّاوِيِّينَ بِحَسَبِ تَرْتِيبِ عَشَائِرِهِمْ. | ٢٥ 25 |
Aaron’s son Eleazar married one of the daughters of Putiel, and she gave birth to Phinehas. [That ends the list of] the families and clans that were descended from Levi.
| هَذَانِ هُمَا هَروُنُ وَمُوسَى اللَّذَانِ قَالَ لَهُمَا الرَّبُّ: أَخْرِجَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ بِحَسَبِ فِرَقِهِمْ. | ٢٦ 26 |
Aaron and Moses/I were the ones to whom Yahweh said, “Lead all the families and clans of the Israeli people out of Egypt.”
| وَهُمَا نَفْسُ مُوسَى وَهَرُونَ اللَّذَيْنِ خَاطَبَا فِرْعَوْنَ مَلِكَ مِصْرَ لِيُطْلِقَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ مِصْرَ. | ٢٧ 27 |
They/We were the ones who spoke to the king of Egypt about bringing the Israeli people out of Egypt.
| وَحَدَثَ فِي الْيَوْمِ الَّذي كَلَّمَ فِيهِ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ | ٢٨ 28 |
On the day that Yahweh spoke to Moses/me in Egypt,
| أَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَالَ لَهُ: «أَنَا الرَّبُّ بَلِّغْ فِرْعَوْنَ كُلَّ مَا أَقُولُهُ لَكَ». | ٢٩ 29 |
he said, “I am Yahweh. You must tell the king everything that I say to you.”
| فَأَجَابَهُ مُوسَى: «أَنَا ثَقِيلُ اللِّسَانِ فَكَيْفَ يَسْتَمِعُ لِي فِرْعَوْنُ؟» | ٣٠ 30 |
But Moses/I said to Yahweh, “Listen to me. I am not a good speaker. [MET, MTY] So (the king will certainly not pay attention to what I say/why should the king pay attention to what I tell him?)!” [RHQ]
