خرُوج 7
| فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «أَنَا جَعَلْتُكَ كإِلَهٍ لِفِرْعَوْنَ، وَهَرُونُ أَخُوكَ يَكُونُ كَنَبِيٍّ لَكَ. | ١ 1 |
The Lord told Moses, “Look, I will make you seem 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 repeat everything that I tell you to say, and your brother Aaron must repeat it to Pharaoh so that he will let the Israelites leave his country.
| وَلَكِنَّنِي أُقَسِّي قَلْبَ فِرْعَوْنَ فَأُكَثِّرُ آيَاتِي وَعَجَائِبِي فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. | ٣ 3 |
But I will give Pharaoh a stubborn attitude, and though I will perform many signs and wonders in Egypt, he won't listen to you.
| إلّا أَنَّ فِرْعَوْنَ لَنْ يَسْتَمِعَ لَكُمَا. عِنْدَئِذٍ أَضْرِبُ مِصْرَ وَأُخْرِجُ شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ بِقُوَّاتِ أَحْكَامٍ عَظِيمَةٍ. | ٤ 4 |
Then I will attack Egypt, imposing heavy punishments on them, and I will lead out by their tribes my people the Israelites.
| فَيُدْرِكُ الْمِصْرِيُّونَ حِينَ أَضْرِبُ مِصْرَ وَأُخْرِجُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ بَيْنِهِمُ أَنَّنِي أَنَا الرَّبُّ». | ٥ 5 |
In this way the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord—when I take action against Egypt and lead the Israelites out of the country.”
| فَفَعَلَ مُوسَى وَهَرُونُ تَمَاماً كَمَا أَمَرَهُمَا الرَّبُّ. | ٦ 6 |
Moses and Aaron did exactly as the Lord had ordered.
| وَكَانَ مُوسَى فِي الثَّمَانِينَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ، وَهَرُونُ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ وَالثَّمَانِينَ، عِنْدَمَا خَاطَبَا فِرْعَوْنَ. | ٧ 7 |
Moses was eighty and Aaron was eighty-three when they went and spoke to Pharaoh.
| وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى وَهَرُونَ: | ٨ 8 |
The Lord told 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 asks you, ‘Why don't you perform a miracle, then?’ tell Aaron, ‘Take your walking stick and throw it down in front of Pharaoh,’ and it will turn into a snake.”
| فَمَثُلَ هَرُونُ وَمُوسَى أَمَامَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَفَعَلا تَمَاماً حَسَبَ أَمْرِ الرَّبِّ، فَأَلْقَى هَرُونُ عَصَاهُ أَمَامَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَأَمَامَ حَاشِيَتِهِ فَتَحَوَّلَتْ إِلَى حَيَّةٍ. | ١٠ 10 |
Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did what the Lord had ordered. Aaron threw down his staff in front of Pharaoh and his officials, and it turned into a snake.
| فَاسْتَدْعَى فِرْعَوْنُ حُكَمَاءَهُ وَسَحَرَتَهُ فَصَنَعَ سَحَرَةُ مِصْرَ عَلَى غِرَارِ ذَلِكَ بِسِحْرِهِمْ. | ١١ 11 |
But Pharaoh called in wise men and sorcerers, and these Egyptian magicians did the same thing using their magic arts.
| فَطَرَحَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ عَصَاهُ فَتَحَوَّلَتْ إِلَى حَيَّةٍ. غَيْرَ أَنَّ عَصَا هَرُونَ ابْتَلَعَتْ عِصِيَّهُمْ. | ١٢ 12 |
Each of them threw down their walking sticks and they also turned into snakes, but Aaron's walking stick swallowed up all their walking sticks.
| لَكِنَّ قَلْبَ فِرْعَوْنَ ازْدَادَ تَصَلُّباً فَلَمْ يَسْتَمِعْ لَهُمَا، تَمَاماً كَمَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ. | ١٣ 13 |
But Pharaoh had a hard, stubborn attitude, and he wouldn't listen to them, as the Lord had predicted.
| ثُمَّ قَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «إِنَّ قَلْبَ فِرْعَوْنَ قَدْ تَصَلَّبَ، وَهُوَ يَرْفُضُ أَنْ يُطْلِقَ سَرَاحَ الشَّعْبِ. | ١٤ 14 |
The Lord said to Moses, “Pharaoh has a stubborn attitude—he's refusing 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 |
So tomorrow morning go to Pharaoh as he walks down to the river. Wait to meet him on the bank of the Nile. Take with you the walking stick that turned 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 |
Tell him: The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to say to you, ‘Let my people go, so that they can worship me in the desert. But you have not listened up 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 is now telling you: This is how you will know that I am the Lord.’” “Watch! Using the walking stick I'm holding, I'm going to hit 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 smell, and the Egyptians won't be able to drink any of 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 |
The Lord said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Take your walking stick in your hand and hold it out over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers and canals and ponds and pools, so that they will turn to blood. There will be blood through all of Egypt, even in containers made 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 exactly as the Lord had ordered. While Pharaoh and all his officials watched, Aaron lifted up his walking stick and hit the water of the Nile. Immediately the whole river 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 awful that the Egyptians could not drink its water. There was blood through all of Egypt!
| وَكَذَلِكَ فَعَلَ سَحَرَةُ مِصْرَ بِسِحْرِهِمْ، فَتَصَلَّبَ قَلْبُ فِرْعَوْنَ فَلَمْ يَسْتَمِعْ إِلَيْهِمَا، تَمَاماً حَسَبَ قَوْلِ الرَّبِّ. | ٢٢ 22 |
But the Egyptian magicians did the same thing using their magic arts. Pharaoh maintained his stubborn attitude and he wouldn't listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the Lord had predicted.
| وَانْصَرَفَ فِرْعَوْنُ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَتْرُكَ ذَلِكَ أَثَراً فِي قَلْبِهِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
Pharaoh went back to his palace and didn't pay any attention to what had happened.
| وَحَفَرَ جَمِيعُ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ حُفَراً حَوْلَ النَّهْرِ طَلَباً لِمَاءِ الشُّرْبِ، لأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِيعُوا أَنْ يَشْرَبُوا مِنْ مَاءِ النَّهْرِ. | ٢٤ 24 |
All the Egyptians dug alongside the Nile because they couldn't drink its water.
| وَانْقَضَتْ سَبْعَةُ أَيَّامٍ مُنْذُ أَنْ ضَرَبَ اللهُ مِيَاهَ النَّهْرِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
Seven days went by after the Lord hit the Nile.
