خرُوج 7
| فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «أَنَا جَعَلْتُكَ كإِلَهٍ لِفِرْعَوْنَ، وَهَرُونُ أَخُوكَ يَكُونُ كَنَبِيٍّ لَكَ. | ١ 1 |
The LORD answered Moses, “See, I have made you like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron will be your prophet.
| فَعَلَيْكَ أَنْ تُبْلِغَهُ بِكُلِّ مَا آمُرُكَ بِهِ، وَيُخَاطِبَ أَخُوكَ هَرُونُ فِرْعَوْنَ كَيْ يُطْلِقَ سَرَاحَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ بِلادِهِ. | ٢ 2 |
You are to speak all that I command you, and your brother Aaron is to tell Pharaoh to let the Israelites go out of his land.
| وَلَكِنَّنِي أُقَسِّي قَلْبَ فِرْعَوْنَ فَأُكَثِّرُ آيَاتِي وَعَجَائِبِي فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. | ٣ 3 |
But I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and though I will multiply My signs and wonders in the land of Egypt,
| إلّا أَنَّ فِرْعَوْنَ لَنْ يَسْتَمِعَ لَكُمَا. عِنْدَئِذٍ أَضْرِبُ مِصْرَ وَأُخْرِجُ شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ بِقُوَّاتِ أَحْكَامٍ عَظِيمَةٍ. | ٤ 4 |
Pharaoh will not listen to you. Then I will lay My hand on Egypt, and by mighty acts of judgment I will bring the divisions of My people the Israelites out of the land of Egypt.
| فَيُدْرِكُ الْمِصْرِيُّونَ حِينَ أَضْرِبُ مِصْرَ وَأُخْرِجُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ بَيْنِهِمُ أَنَّنِي أَنَا الرَّبُّ». | ٥ 5 |
And the Egyptians will know that I am the LORD, when I stretch out My hand against Egypt and bring the Israelites out from among them.”
| فَفَعَلَ مُوسَى وَهَرُونُ تَمَاماً كَمَا أَمَرَهُمَا الرَّبُّ. | ٦ 6 |
So Moses and Aaron did just as the LORD had commanded them.
| وَكَانَ مُوسَى فِي الثَّمَانِينَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ، وَهَرُونُ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ وَالثَّمَانِينَ، عِنْدَمَا خَاطَبَا فِرْعَوْنَ. | ٧ 7 |
Moses was eighty years old and Aaron was eighty-three when they spoke to Pharaoh.
| وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى وَهَرُونَ: | ٨ 8 |
The LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
| «عِنْدَمَا يَطْلُبُ فِرْعَوْنُ مِنْكُمَا قَائِلاً: أَرِيَانِي عَجِيبَةً فَإِنَّكَ تَقُولُ لِهَرُونَ: خُذْ عَصَاكَ وَأَلْقِهَا أَمَامَ فِرْعَوْنَ فَتَتَحَوَّلَ إِلَى حَيَّةٍ». | ٩ 9 |
“When Pharaoh tells you, ‘Perform a miracle,’ you are to say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff and throw it down before Pharaoh,’ and it will become a serpent.”
| فَمَثُلَ هَرُونُ وَمُوسَى أَمَامَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَفَعَلا تَمَاماً حَسَبَ أَمْرِ الرَّبِّ، فَأَلْقَى هَرُونُ عَصَاهُ أَمَامَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَأَمَامَ حَاشِيَتِهِ فَتَحَوَّلَتْ إِلَى حَيَّةٍ. | ١٠ 10 |
So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did just as the LORD had commanded. Aaron threw his staff down before Pharaoh and his officials, and it became a serpent.
| فَاسْتَدْعَى فِرْعَوْنُ حُكَمَاءَهُ وَسَحَرَتَهُ فَصَنَعَ سَحَرَةُ مِصْرَ عَلَى غِرَارِ ذَلِكَ بِسِحْرِهِمْ. | ١١ 11 |
But Pharaoh called the wise men and sorcerers and magicians of Egypt, and they also did the same things by their magic arts.
| فَطَرَحَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ عَصَاهُ فَتَحَوَّلَتْ إِلَى حَيَّةٍ. غَيْرَ أَنَّ عَصَا هَرُونَ ابْتَلَعَتْ عِصِيَّهُمْ. | ١٢ 12 |
Each one threw down his staff, and it became a serpent. But Aaron’s staff swallowed up the other staffs.
| لَكِنَّ قَلْبَ فِرْعَوْنَ ازْدَادَ تَصَلُّباً فَلَمْ يَسْتَمِعْ لَهُمَا، تَمَاماً كَمَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ. | ١٣ 13 |
Still, Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not listen to them, just as the LORD had said.
| ثُمَّ قَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «إِنَّ قَلْبَ فِرْعَوْنَ قَدْ تَصَلَّبَ، وَهُوَ يَرْفُضُ أَنْ يُطْلِقَ سَرَاحَ الشَّعْبِ. | ١٤ 14 |
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Pharaoh’s heart is unyielding; he refuses to let the people go.
| فَامْثُلْ أَمَامَ فِرْعَوْنَ فِي الْغَدِ عِنْدَمَا يَخْرُجُ إِلَى الْمَاءِ، وَقِفْ لِلِقَائِهِ عِنْدَ ضَفَّةِ النَّهْرِ، وَخُذْ بِيَدِكَ الْعَصَا الَّتِي تَحَوَّلَتْ إِلَى حَيَّةٍ، | ١٥ 15 |
Go to Pharaoh in the morning as you see him walking out to the water. Wait on the bank of the Nile to meet him, and take in your hand the staff that was changed into a snake.
| وَقُلْ لَهُ: إِنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَ الْعِبْرَانِيِّينَ قَدْ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَيْكَ قَائِلاً: أَطْلِقْ شَعْبِي لِيَعْبُدُونِي فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ. وَهَا أَنْتَ حَتَّى الآنَ لَمْ تَسْتَمِعْ. | ١٦ 16 |
Then say to him, ‘The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to tell you: Let My people go, so that they may worship Me in the wilderness. But you have not listened until now.
| لِهَذَا إِلَيْكَ مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: سَتَعْلَمُ، بِمَا أُجْرِيهِ الآنَ، أَنَّنِي أَنَا الرَّبُّ. هَا أَنَا ضَارِبٌ بِهَذِهِ الْعَصَا الَّتِي فِي يَدِي عَلَى مَاءِ النَّهْرِ فَيَتَحَوَّلُ دَماً. | ١٧ 17 |
This is what the LORD says: By this you will know that I am the LORD. Behold, with the staff in my hand I will strike the water of the Nile, and it will turn to blood.
| فَيَمُوتُ السَّمَكُ، وَيَنْتِنُ النَّهْرُ، فَيَعَافُ الْمِصْرِيُّونَ مِنَ الشُّرْبِ مِنْ مَائِهِ». | ١٨ 18 |
The fish in the Nile will die, the river will stink, and the Egyptians will be unable to drink its water.’”
| وَخَاطَبَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى: «قُلْ لِهَرُونَ: خُذْ عَصَاكَ وَابْسُطْ يَدَكَ عَلَى مِيَاهِ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ وَعَلَى أَنْهَارِهِمْ وَعَلَى جَدَاوِلِهِمْ وَسَوَاقِيهِمْ وَخَزَّانَاتِ الْمِيَاهِ فَتَتَحَوَّلَ كُلُّهَا إِلَى دَمٍ، وَيَكُونُ دَمٌ فِي كُلِّ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ حَتَّى فِي الأَوَانِي الْخَشَبِيَّةِ وَالْحَجَرِيَّةِ». | ١٩ 19 |
And the LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Take your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt—over their rivers and canals and ponds and reservoirs—that they may become blood.’ There will be blood throughout the land of Egypt, even in the vessels of wood and stone.”
| وَهَكَذَا فَعَلَ مُوسَى وَهَرُونُ كَمَا أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ، فَرَفَعَ هَرُونُ الْعَصَا وَضَرَبَ مَاءَ النَّهْرِ عَلَى مَشْهَدٍ مِنْ فِرْعَوْنَ وَحَاشِيَتِهِ فَتَحَوَّلَ كُلُّ مَاءِ النَّهْرِ إِلَى دَمٍ، | ٢٠ 20 |
Moses and Aaron did just as the LORD had commanded; in the presence of Pharaoh and his officials, Aaron raised the staff and struck the water of the Nile, and all the water was turned to blood.
| وَمَاتَ كُلُّ سَمَكِهِ وَأَنْتَنَ النَّهْرُ فَلَمْ يَسْتَطِعِ الْمِصْرِيُّونَ الشُّرْبَ مِنْ مَائِهِ. وَكَانَ دَمٌ فِي كُلِّ أَرْجَاءِ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. | ٢١ 21 |
The fish in the Nile died, and the river smelled so bad that the Egyptians could not drink its water. And there was blood throughout the land of Egypt.
| وَكَذَلِكَ فَعَلَ سَحَرَةُ مِصْرَ بِسِحْرِهِمْ، فَتَصَلَّبَ قَلْبُ فِرْعَوْنَ فَلَمْ يَسْتَمِعْ إِلَيْهِمَا، تَمَاماً حَسَبَ قَوْلِ الرَّبِّ. | ٢٢ 22 |
But the magicians of Egypt did the same things by their magic arts. So Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the LORD had said.
| وَانْصَرَفَ فِرْعَوْنُ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَتْرُكَ ذَلِكَ أَثَراً فِي قَلْبِهِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
Instead, Pharaoh turned around, went into his palace, and did not take any of this to heart.
| وَحَفَرَ جَمِيعُ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ حُفَراً حَوْلَ النَّهْرِ طَلَباً لِمَاءِ الشُّرْبِ، لأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِيعُوا أَنْ يَشْرَبُوا مِنْ مَاءِ النَّهْرِ. | ٢٤ 24 |
So all the Egyptians dug around the Nile for water to drink, because they could not drink the water from the river.
| وَانْقَضَتْ سَبْعَةُ أَيَّامٍ مُنْذُ أَنْ ضَرَبَ اللهُ مِيَاهَ النَّهْرِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
And seven full days passed after the LORD had struck the Nile.
