< خرُوج 8 >

ثُمَّ قَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «امْثُلْ أَمَامَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَقُلْ لَهُ: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ: أَطْلِقْ شَعْبِي لِيَعْبُدُونِي. ١ 1
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus says the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
وَإِنْ أَبَيْتَ أَنْ تُطْلِقَهُمْ فَهَا أَنَا ضَارِبٌ جَمِيعَ تُخُومِكَ بِالضَّفَادِعِ. ٢ 2
And if you refuse to let them go, behold, I will strike all your borders with frogs:
فَيَفِيضُ النَّهْرُ بِالضَّفَادِعِ الَّتِي تَصْعَدُ وَتَقْتَحِمُ بَيْتَكَ وَمُخْدَعَ فِرَاشِكَ وَسَرِيرَكَ وَبُيُوتَ حَاشِيَتِكَ وَشَعْبِكَ وَأَفْرَانَكَ وَمَعَاجِنَكَ. ٣ 3
And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into your house, and into your bedchamber, and upon your bed, and into the house of your servants, and upon your people, and into your ovens, and into your kneading troughs:
عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى شَعْبِكَ وَعَلَى سَائِرِ حَاشِيَتِكَ تَصْعَدُ الضَّفَادِعُ». ٤ 4
And the frogs shall come up both on you, and upon your people, and upon all your servants.
ثُمَّ قَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «قُلْ لِهَرُونَ ابْسُطْ يَدَكَ بِعَصَاكَ عَلَى الأَنْهَارِ وَالسَّوَاقِي وَالْبِرَكِ وَأَصْعِدِ الضَّفَادِعَ عَلَى كُلِّ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ». ٥ 5
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth your hand with your rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt.
فَبَسَطَ هَرُونُ يَدَهُ عَلَى مِيَاهِ مِصْرَ فَأَقْبَلَتِ الضَّفَادِعُ وَغَطَّتْ أَرْضَ مِصْرَ. ٦ 6
And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.
وَكَذَلِكَ فَعَلَ السَّحَرَةُ بِسِحْرِهِمْ فَأَصْعَدُوا ضَفَادِعَ عَلَى أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. ٧ 7
And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt.
ثُمَّ اسْتَدْعَى فِرْعَوْنُ مُوسَى وَهَرُونَ وَقَالَ: «تَضَرَّعَا إِلَى الرَّبِّ لِيَرْفَعَ الضَّفَادِعَ عَنِّي وَعَنْ شَعْبِي، فَأُطْلِقَ الشَّعْبَ لِيُقَدِّمُوا ذَبَائِحَ لَهُ». ٨ 8
Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Implore the LORD, that he may take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may do sacrifice unto the LORD.
فَأَجَابَ مُوسَى فِرْعَوْنَ: «عَيِّنْ لِي مَتَى أُصَلِّي مِنْ أَجْلِكَ وَمِنْ أَجْلِ عَبِيدِكَ وَشَعْبِكَ، لِكَيْ تُبَادَ الضَّفَادِعُ عَنْكَ وَعَنْ بُيُوتِكَ، مَاعَدَا تِلْكَ الْبَاقِيَةَ فِي النَّهْرِ». ٩ 9
And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Glory over me: when shall I implore for you, and for your servants, and for your people, to destroy the frogs from you and your houses, that they may remain in the river only?
فَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ: «غَداً». فَأَجَابَهُ مُوسَى: «فَلْيَكُنْ كَقَوْلِكَ، لِتَعْرِفَ أَنَّهُ لَا مَثِيلَ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا. ١٠ 10
And he said, Tomorrow. And he said, Be it according to your word: that you may know that there is none like unto the LORD our God.
فَإِنَّ الضَّفَادِعَ سَتَنْسَحِبُ مِنْ حَوْلِكَ وَمِنْ بُيُوتِكَ وَمِنْ حَوْلِ حَاشِيَتِكَ وَشَعْبِكَ، وَلا تَبْقَى إلّا فِي النَّهْرِ». ١١ 11
And the frogs shall depart from you, and from your houses, and from your servants, and from your people; they shall remain in the river only.
وَبَعْدَ أَنِ انْصَرَفَ مُوسَى وَهَرُونُ مِنْ لَدُنْ فِرْعَوْنَ صَلَّى مُوسَى إِلَى الرَّبِّ مِنْ أَجْلِ الضَّفَادِعِ الَّتِي أَصْعَدَهَا عَلَى فِرْعَوْنَ، ١٢ 12
And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried unto the LORD because of the frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh.
فَفَعَلَ الرَّبُّ حَسَبَ دُعَاءِ مُوسَى، فَانْقَطَعَتِ الضَّفَادِعُ مِنَ الْبُيُوتِ وَالدُّورِ وَالْحُقُولِ، ١٣ 13
And the LORD did according to the word of Moses; and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the villages, and out of the fields.
فَجمَعُوهَا أَكْوَاماً كَثِيَرةً حَتَّى أَنْتَنَتْ مِنْهَا الأَرْضُ. ١٤ 14
And they gathered them together upon heaps: and the land stank.
وَعِنْدَمَا رَأَى فِرْعَوْنُ أَنَّ الْبَلِيَّةَ قَدِ انْقَشَعَتْ، أَغْلَظَ قَلْبَهُ وَلَمْ يَسْتَمِعْ لَهُمَا، تَمَاماً كَمَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ. ١٥ 15
But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.
فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «قُلْ لِهَرُونَ أَنْ يَبْسُطَ يَدَهُ بِعَصَاهُ وَيَضْرِبَ تُرَابَ الأَرْضِ لِيَملأَ الْبَعُوضُ كُلَّ أَرْجَاءِ مِصْرَ». ١٦ 16
And the LORD said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out your rod, and strike the dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
وَهَكَذَا فَعَلا، إِذْ بَسَطَ هَرُونُ يَدَهُ بِعَصَاهُ وَضَرَبَ تُرَابَ الأَرْضِ، فَانْتَشَرَ الْبَعُوضُ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَالْبَهَائِمِ. فَصَارَ كُلُّ تُرَابِ الأَرْضِ بَعُوضاً فِي جَمِيعِ أَرْجَاءِ مِصْرَ. ١٧ 17
And they did so; for Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and stroke the dust of the earth, and it became lice in man, and in beast; all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
وَكَذَلِكَ حَاوَلَ السَّحَرَةُ بِسِحْرِهِمْ لِيُخْرِجُوا الْبَعُوضَ فَأَخْفَقُوا. وَكَانَ الْبَعُوضُ مُنْتَشِراً عَلَى النَّاسِ وَالْبَهَائِمِ. ١٨ 18
And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not: so there were lice upon man, and upon beast.
فَقَالَ السَّحَرَةُ لِفِرْعَوْنَ «إِنَّهُ فِعْلُ اللهِ». وَلَكِنَّ قَلْبَ فِرْعَوْنَ ظَلَّ مُتَصَلِّباً فَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ لَهُمَا، تَمَاماً كَمَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ. ١٩ 19
Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This is the finger of God: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.
ثُمَّ قَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «انْهَضْ مُبَكِّراً فِي الصَّبَاحِ وَقِفْ أَمَامَ فِرْعَوْنَ عِنْدَ خُرُوجِهِ إِلَى الْمَاءِ وَقُلْ لَهُ: هَكَذَا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: أَطْلِقْ شَعْبِي لِيَعْبُدُونِي. ٢٠ 20
And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; lo, he comes forth to the water; and say unto him, Thus says the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
وَإِنْ لَمْ تُطْلِقْ شَعْبِي فَهَا أَنَا أُرْسِلُ أَسْرَابَ الذُّبَابِ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى حَاشِيَتِكَ وَعَلَى شَعْبِكَ وَعَلَى بُيُوتِكَ، فَتَمْتَلِئُ بُيُوتُ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ بِالذُّبَابِ، وَكَذَلِكَ الأَرْضُ الَّتِي يُقِيمُونَ عَلَيْهَا. ٢١ 21
Else, if you will not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies upon you, and upon your servants, and upon your people, and into your houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground whereon they are.
وَلَكِنِّي فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ أَسْتَثْنِي أَرْضَ جَاسَانَ حَيْثُ يَسْكُنُ شَعْبِي فَلا يَغْزُوهَا الذُّبَابُ، فَتُدْرِكُ أَنَّنِي، أَنَا الرَّبَّ، كَائِنٌ فِي هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ. ٢٢ 22
And I will sever in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end you may know that I am the LORD in the midst of the earth.
وَأُمَيِّزُ بَيْنَ شَعْبِي وَشَعْبِكَ، فَتَكُونُ هَذِهِ آيَةَ الْغَدِ». ٢٣ 23
And I will put a division between my people and your people: tomorrow shall this sign be.
وَهَكَذَا صَنَعَ الرَّبُّ، فَقَدْ غَزَتْ أَسْرَابٌ عَظِيمَةٌ مِنَ الذُّبَابِ بَيْتَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَبُيُوتَ حَاشِيَتِهِ، وَكُلَّ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ فَأَصَابَ الذُّبَابُ الأَرْضَ بِالْخَرَابِ. ٢٤ 24
And the LORD did so; and there came a grievous swarm of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants' houses, and into all the land of Egypt: the land was corrupted by reason of the swarm of flies.
فَاسْتَدْعَى فِرْعَوْنُ مُوسَى وَهَرُونَ وَقَالَ: «امْضُوا وَقَدِّمُوا ذَبِيحَةً لإِلَهِكُمْ فِي هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ». ٢٥ 25
And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go all of you, sacrifice to your God in the land.
فَأَجَابَ مُوسَى: «لَيْسَ مُسْتَحْسَناً أَنْ نَفْعَلَ هَذَا، لأَنَّ الذَّبَائِحَ الَّتِي نُقَدِّمُهَا لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا هِي رِجْسٌ لَدَى الْمِصْرِيِّينَ. فَإِنْ قَدَّمْنَا هَذِهِ الذَّبَائِحَ الَّتِي يَكْرَهُهَا الْمِصْرِيُّونَ، أَلا يَرْجُمُونَنَا؟ ٢٦ 26
And Moses said, It is not meet so to do; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to the LORD our God: lo, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and will they not stone us?
لَكِنْ نَذْهَبُ مَسِيرَةَ ثَلاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ، فَنُقَدِّمُ ذَبَائِحَ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا كَمَا أَمَرَنَا». ٢٧ 27
We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the LORD our God, as he shall command us.
فَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ: «سَأُطْلِقُكُمْ لِتُقَرِّبُوا لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ، وَلَكِنْ لَا تَذْهَبُوا بَعِيداً. صَلِّيَا لأَجْلِي». ٢٨ 28
And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that all of you may sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness; only all of you shall not go very far away: implore for me.
فَأَجَابَ مُوسَى: «حَالَمَا أَنْصَرِفُ أُصَلِّي إِلَى الرَّبِّ. وَغَداً يَرْتَفِعُ الذُّبَابُ عَنْ فِرْعَوْنَ وَعَنْ حَاشِيَتِهِ وَعَنْ شَعْبِهِ. وَلَكِنْ عَلَى فِرْعَوْنَ أَلّا يُخَادِعَ، بَلْ يُطْلِقَ الشَّعْبَ لِيُقَدِّمَ لِلرَّبِّ ذَبَائِحَ». ٢٩ 29
And Moses said, Behold, I go out from you, and I will implore the LORD that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, tomorrow: but let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the LORD.
وَفَارَقَ مُوسَى فِرْعَوْنَ وَصَلَّى إِلَى الرَّبِّ، ٣٠ 30
And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and implored the LORD.
فَاسْتَجَابَ الرَّبُّ دُعَاءَ مُوسَى، فَارْتَفَعَ الذُّبَابُ عَنْ فِرْعَوْنَ وَعَنْ حَاشِيَتِهِ وَعَنْ شَعْبِهِ. لَمْ تَبْقَ ذُبَابَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ. ٣١ 31
And the LORD did according to the word of Moses; and he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; there remained not one.
وَلَكِنَّ فِرْعَوْنَ قَسَّى قَلْبَهُ هَذِهِ الْمَرَّةَ أَيْضاً وَلَمْ يُطْلِقْ الشَّعْبَ. ٣٢ 32
And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither would he let the people go.
