خرُوج 6

١ 1 فَأَجَابَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى: «سَتَرَى الآنَ مَا أَنَا فَاعِلُهُ بِفِرْعَوْنَ، لأَنَّنِي بِيَدٍ قَدِيرَةٍ سَأَجْعَلُهُ يُطْلِقُهُمْ، بَلْ يَطْرُدُهُمْ طَرْداً أَيْضاً».

Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Now you will see what I will do to Pharaoh. You will see this, for he will let them go because of my strong hand. Because of my strong hand, he will drive them out of his land.”

٢ 2 وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ.

God spoke to Moses and said to him, “I am Yahweh.

٣ 3 قَدْ ظَهَرْتُ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ إِلَهاً قَدِيراً عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ. أَمَّا اسْمِي يَهْوَهْ (أَيِ الرَّبُّ) فَلَمْ أُعْلِنْهُ لَهُمْ.

I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as God Almighty; but by my name, Yahweh, I was not known to them.

٤ 4 وَقَدْ قَطَعْتُ مَعَهُمْ أَيْضاً عَهْدِي بِأَنْ أَهَبَهُمْ أَرْضَ كَنْعَانَ حَيْثُ أَقَامُوا فِيهَا كَغُرَبَاءَ.

I also established my covenant with them, in order to give them the land of Canaan, the land where they lived as non-citizens, the land in which they wandered about.

٥ 5 كَذَلِكَ أَصْغَيْتُ إِلَى أَنِينِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ الْمُسْتَعْبَدِينَ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ، وَتَذَكَّرْتُ عَهْدِي

Moreover, I have heard the groaning of the Israelites whom the Egyptians have enslaved, and I have called to mind my covenant.

٦ 6 لِهَذَا قُلْ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِنَّنِي أَنَا الرَّبُّ وَأَنَا أُحَرِّرُكُمْ مِنْ أَثْقَالِ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ وَأُنْقِذُكُمْ مِنْ عُبُودِيَّتِهِمْ، وَأُخَلِّصُكُمْ بِذِرَاعٍ مَمْدُودَةٍ وَأَحْكَامٍ قَوِيَّةٍ.

Therefore, say to the Israelites, 'I am Yahweh. I will bring you out from slavery under the Egyptians, and I will free you from their power. I will rescue you with a display of my power, and with mighty acts of judgment.

٧ 7 وَأَتَّخِذُكُمْ لِي شَعْباً وَأَكُونُ لَكُمْ إِلَهاً، فَتَعْرِفُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ مُحَرِّرُكُمْ مِنْ أَثْقَالِ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ.

I will take you to myself as my people, and I will be your God. You will know that I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out from slavery under the Egyptians.

٨ 8 وَأَقُودُكُمْ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَقْسَمْتُ أَنْ أَهَبَهَا لإِبْرَاهِيمَ وإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ لأُعْطِيَهَا لَكُمْ مِلْكاً. أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ».

I will bring you into the land that I swore to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. I will give it to you as a possession. I am Yahweh.'”

٩ 9 فَخَاطَبَ مُوسَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، لَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يُصْغُوا إِلَيْهِ لِتَوَجُّعِ نُفُوسِهِمْ وَعُبُودِيَّتِهِمِ الْقَاسِيَةِ.

When Moses told this to the Israelites, they would not listen to him because of their discouragement about their harsh slavery.

١٠ 10 وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى:

Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

١١ 11 «امْثُلْ أَمَامَ فِرْعَوْنَ مَلِكِ مِصْرَ وَاطْلُبْ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يُطْلِقَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنَ الأَرْضِ».

“Go tell Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to let the people of Israel go from his land.”

١٢ 12 فَأَجَابَ مُوسَى: «هُوَذَا بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ لَمْ يُصْغُوا إِلَيَّ، فَكَيْفَ يَسْتَمِعُ إِلَيَّ فِرْعَوْنُ وَأَنَا ثَقِيلُ اللِّسَانِ؟»

Moses said to Yahweh, “If the Israelites have not listened to me, why will Pharaoh listen to me, since I am not good at speaking?”

١٣ 13 فَخَاطَبَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى وَهَرُونَ وَأَمَرَهُمَا أَنْ يَرْجِعَا إِلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَفِرْعَوْنَ مَلِكِ مِصْرَ، لِكَيْ يُطْلِقَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ.

Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron. He gave them a command for the Israelites and for Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to bring the Israelites out of the land of Egypt.

١٤ 14 وَهَؤُلاءِ هُمْ رُؤَسَاءُ الْعَشَائِرِ الْمُتَفَرِّعَةِ عَنْ أَبْنَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: أَبْنَاءُ رَأُوبَيْنَ بِكْرِ إِسْرَائِيلَ حَنُوكُ وَفَلُّو وَحَصْرُونُ وَكَرْمِي: هَذِهِ عَشَائِرُ رَأُوبَيْنَ.

These were the heads of their fathers' houses: The sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel, were Hanok, Pallu, Hezron, and Karmi. These were the clan ancestors of Reuben.

١٥ 15 أَبْنَاءُ شِمْعُونَ يَمُوئِيلُ وَيَامِينُ وَأُوهَدُ وَيَاكِينُ وَصُوحَرُ وَشَأُولُ وأُمُّهُ كَنْعَانِيَّةٌ: هَذِهِ هِي عَشَائِرُ شِمْعُونَ.

The sons of Simeon were Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jakin, Zohar, and Shaul—the son of a Canaanite woman. These were the clan ancestors of Simeon.

١٦ 16 وَهَذِهِ أَسْمَاءُ أَبْنَاءِ لاوِي حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ: جِرْشُونُ وَقَهَاتُ وَمَرَارِي. وَقَدْ عَاشَ لاوِي مِئَةً وَسَبْعاً وَثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً.

Here are listed the names of the sons of Levi, together with their descendants. They were Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. Levi lived until he was 137 years old.

The sons of Gershon were Libni and Shimei.

١٨ 18 وَأَبْنَاءُ قَهَاتَ هُمْ: عَمْرَامُ وَيِصْهَارُ وَحَبْرُونُ وَعُزِّيئِيلُ. وَقَدْ عَاشَ قَهَاتُ مِئَةً وَثَلاثاً وَثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً.

The sons of Kohath were Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel. Kohath lived until he was 133 years old.

١٩ 19 وَابْنَا مَرَارِي هُمَا مَحْلِي وَمُوشِي. هَذِهِ هِيَ عَشَائِرُ اللّاوِيِّينَ بِحَسَبِ سِجِلِّ مَوَالِيدِهِمْ.

The sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi. These became the clan ancestors of the Levites, together with their descendants.

٢٠ 20 وَتَزَوَّجَ عَمْرَامُ عَمَّتَهُ يُوكَابَدَ فَأَنْجَبَتْ لَهُ هَرُونَ وَمُوسَى. وَقَدْ عَاشَ عَمْرَامُ مِئَةً وَسَبْعاً وَثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً.

Amram married Jochebed, his father's sister. She bore him Aaron and Moses. Amram lived 137 years and then died.

٢١ 21 وَأَبْنَاءُ يِصْهَارَ هُمْ: قُورَحُ وَنَافَجُ وَذِكْرِي.

The sons of Izhar were Korah, Nepheg, and Zichri.

٢٣ 23 وَتَزَوَّجَ هَرُونُ مِنْ أَلِيشَابَعَ ابْنَةِ عَمِّينَادَابَ أُخْتِ نَحْشُونَ فَأَنْجَبَتْ لَهُ نَادَابَ وَأَبِيهُوَ وَأَلِعَازَارَ وإِيثَامَارَ.

Aaron married Elisheba, daughter of Amminadab, sister of Nahshon. She bore him Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.

٢٤ 24 وَأَبْنَاءُ قُورَحَ هُمْ: أَسِّيرُ وَأَلْقَانَةُ وَأَبِيَأَسَافُ: هَذِهِ هِيَ عَشَائِرُ الْقُورَحِيِّينَ.

The sons of Korah were Assir, Elkanah, and Abiasaph. These were the clan ancestors of the Korahites.

٢٥ 25 وَتَزَوَّجَ أَلِعَازَارُ بنُ هَرُونَ مِنْ إِحْدَى بَنَاتِ فُوطِيئِيلَ فَأَنْجَبَتْ لَهُ فِيْنحَاسَ. هَؤُلاءِ رُؤَسَاءُ آبَاءِ اللّاوِيِّينَ بِحَسَبِ تَرْتِيبِ عَشَائِرِهِمْ.

Eleazar, Aaron's son, married one of the daughters of Putiel. She bore him Phinehas. These were the heads of the fathers' houses among the Levites, together with their descendants.

٢٦ 26 هَذَانِ هُمَا هَروُنُ وَمُوسَى اللَّذَانِ قَالَ لَهُمَا الرَّبُّ: أَخْرِجَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ بِحَسَبِ فِرَقِهِمْ.

These two men were the Aaron and Moses to whom Yahweh said, “Bring out the Israelites from the land of Egypt, by their groups of fighting men.”

٢٧ 27 وَهُمَا نَفْسُ مُوسَى وَهَرُونَ اللَّذَيْنِ خَاطَبَا فِرْعَوْنَ مَلِكَ مِصْرَ لِيُطْلِقَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ مِصْرَ.

Aaron and Moses spoke to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to allow them bring out the Israelites from Egypt. These were the same Moses and Aaron.

٢٨ 28 وَحَدَثَ فِي الْيَوْمِ الَّذي كَلَّمَ فِيهِ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ

When Yahweh spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt,

٢٩ 29 أَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَالَ لَهُ: «أَنَا الرَّبُّ بَلِّغْ فِرْعَوْنَ كُلَّ مَا أَقُولُهُ لَكَ».

he said to him, “I am Yahweh. Say to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, everything that I will tell you.”

٣٠ 30 فَأَجَابَهُ مُوسَى: «أَنَا ثَقِيلُ اللِّسَانِ فَكَيْفَ يَسْتَمِعُ لِي فِرْعَوْنُ؟»

But Moses said to Yahweh, “I am not good at speaking, so why will Pharaoh listen to me?”
