خرُوج 9
| ثُمَّ قَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «امْضِ إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ وَقُلْ لَهُ: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ إِلَهُ الْعِبْرَانِيِّينَ أَطْلِقْ شَعْبِي لِيَعْبُدَنِي. | ١ 1 |
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Go to the king and say to him, ‘This is what Yahweh, the God [we] Hebrews [worship], says: “Allow my people to go, in order that they may worship me.
| لأَنَّكَ إنْ أَبَيْتَ أَنْ تُطْلِقَهُمْ وَحَجَزْتَهُمْ لَدَيْكَ، | ٢ 2 |
If you still keep refusing to let them go [DOU],
| فَإِنَّ يَدَ الرَّبِّ سَتُهْلِكُ مَوَاشِيكَ الَّتِي فِي الْحُقُولِ، وَالْخُيُولَ، وَالْحَمِيرَ وَالجِّمَالَ وَالْثِّيرَانَ وَالْغَنَمَ، بِوَبَأٍ شَدِيدٍ جِدّاً. | ٣ 3 |
I warn you that I will punish you with my power [MTY] by sending a terrible disease on all your animals—on your horses, donkeys, camels, on your cattle, and on your flocks [of sheep and goats].
| وَأُمَيِّزُ بَيْنَ مَوَاشِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَمَوَاشِي الْمِصْرِيِّينَ. فَلا يَهْلِكُ شَيْءٌ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ». | ٤ 4 |
But I, Yahweh, will distinguish between [what I do to] the animals that belong to the Israeli people and [what I do to] your animals. The result will be that no animal that belongs to the Israeli people will die.”’
| وَعَيَّنَ الرَّبُّ مَوْعِداً لِذَلِكَ قَائِلاً: «غَداً يَصْنَعُ الرَّبُّ هَذَا فِي الأَرْضِ». | ٥ 5 |
[Tell him that] I have determined/decided that tomorrow is the day that I will do this in this land.”
| وَفِي الْغَدِ صَنَعَ الرَّبُّ هَذَا الأَمْرَ. فَهَلَكَتْ جَمِيعُ مَوَاشِي الْمِصْرِيِّينَ، أَمَّا مَوَاشِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَلَمْ يَهْلِكْ مِنْهَا وَاحِدٌ. | ٦ 6 |
The next day Yahweh did just what he said [that he would do]. A terrible disease afflicted all of the Egyptians’ animals, and many of them [HYP] died. But none of the Israeli people’s animals died.
| وَأَرْسَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ لِيَتَحَقَّقَ مِنَ الأَمْرِ، وَإذَا مَوَاشِي إِسْرَائِيلَ لَمْ يَهْلِكْ مِنْهَا وَاحِدٌ. وَتَصَلَّبَ قَلْبُ فِرْعَوْنَ فَلَمْ يُطْلِقْ الشَّعْبَ. | ٧ 7 |
The king sent [men to investigate], and they were surprised [to see] that none of the Israeli people’s animals had died. But [after they reported that to] the king, he continued to be stubborn [IDM], and he did not let the [Israeli] people go.
| فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى وَهَرُونَ: «لِيَأْخُذْ كُلٌّ مِنْكُمَا حَفْنَةً مِنْ رَمَادِ الْأَتُونِ، وَلْيُذَرِّ مُوسَى الرَّمَادَ نَحْوَ السَّمَاءِ بِمَرْأَى مِنْ فِرْعَوْنَ، | ٨ 8 |
Then Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me, “Take a few handfuls of ashes/soot from (a furnace/an oven where they burn lime), and let Moses throw them up into the air, in front of the king.
| فَيَتَحَوَّلَ إِلَى غُبَارٍ يُغَطِّي كُلَّ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، فَيُصَابَ النَّاسُ وَالْبَهَائِمُ بِدَمَامِلَ مُتَقَيِّحَةٍ فِي كُلِّ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ». | ٩ 9 |
The [ashes/soot] will spread all over the country of Egypt like fine dust. And the ashes/soot will cause boils to afflict both the Egyptian people and their animals, all over the land.”
| فَأَخَذَا رَمَاداً مِنَ الأَتُونِ، وَوَقَفَا أَمَامَ فِرْعَوْنَ، ثُمَّ ذَرَّاهُ مُوسَى نَحْوَ السَّمَاءِ، فَتَحَوَّلَ إِلَى دَمَامِلَ مُتَقَيِّحَةٍ أَصَابَتِ النَّاسَ وَالْبَهَائِمَ. | ١٠ 10 |
So they/we both got some ashes/soot and [went and] stood in front of the king. Moses/I threw the ashes/soot up into the air. The ashes/soot spread all over, causing boils to afflict the [Egyptian] people and their animals. All the boils became open sores.
| وَلَمْ يَسْتَطِعِ السَّحَرَةُ أَنْ يُواجِهُوا مُوسَى مِن جَرَّاءِ الدَّمَامِلِ، لأَنَّ الدَّمَامِلَ أَصَابَتِ السَّحَرَةَ وَكُلَّ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ أَيْضاً. | ١١ 11 |
Even the men who worked magic had boils. The result was that [they were suffering so much that] they were not able to come to Moses/me, because the men who worked magic had boils just like all [the rest of] the Egyptian people.
| لَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ قَسَّى قَلْبَ فِرْعَوْنَ فَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ لَهُمَا، تَمَاماً كَمَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى. | ١٢ 12 |
But Yahweh caused the king to [continue to] be stubborn [IDM]. He did not pay any attention to what they/we [said], just as Yahweh had told Moses/me [would happen].
| ثُمَّ قَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «قُمْ مُبَكِّراً فِي الصَّبَاحِ وَامْثُلْ أَمَامَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَقُلْ لَهُ: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ الْعِبْرَانِيِّينَ: أَطْلِقْ شَعْبِي لِيَعْبُدَنِي. | ١٣ 13 |
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Get up early [tomorrow] morning. Go and stand in front of the king and tell him that Yahweh God, the one that the Hebrew people [worship], says this: ‘Let my people go, in order that they may worship me [in the desert].
| لأَنَّنِي فِي هَذِهِ الْمَرَّةِ سَأُوَجِّهُ جَمِيعَ ضَرَبَاتِي إِلَى قَلْبِكَ وَإِلَى حَاشِيَتِكَ وَإِلَى شَعْبِكَ، لِكَيْ تَعْرِفَ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ مَثِيلٌ لِي فِي كُلِّ الأَرْضِ. | ١٤ 14 |
[If you do not let them go], this time I will [punish] with plagues [not only] your officials and the rest of your people, but I will punish you yourself [SYN], in order that you will know there is no [god] like me anywhere in the world.
| فَقَدْ كَانَ بِوُسْعِي حَتَّى الآنَ أَنْ أَمُدَّ يَدِي وَأَضْرِبَكَ وَأَضْرِبَ شَعْبَكَ أَيْضاً بِالوَبَأِ لِتُبَادَ مِنَ الأَرْضِ، | ١٥ 15 |
By this time I could have used my power [MTY] to strike you and your people with terrible diseases that would have wiped you all from the earth.
| وَلَكِنَّنِي أَقَمْتُكَ لأُرِيَكَ قُوَّتِي، وَلِكَيْ يُذَاعَ اسْمِي فِي جَمِيعِ الأَرْضِ. | ١٦ 16 |
But I have let you live. The reason I have let you live is to show you my power, with the result that [people] all over the earth [HYP] will know how great I [MTY] am.
| وَهَا أَنْتَ مَازِلْتَ تُقَاوِمُ شَعْبِي وَلا تُطْلِقُهُ. | ١٧ 17 |
You are still acting proudly and refusing to let my people go.
| لِذَلِكَ غَداً فِي مِثْلِ هَذَا الْوَقْتِ أُمْطِرُ بَرَداً ثَقِيلاً لَمْ تَشْهَدْهُ مِصْرُ مُنْذُ يَوْمِ تَأْسِيسِهَا حَتَّى الآنَ. | ١٨ 18 |
So listen [to this]: About this time tomorrow I will cause very heavy hail to fall [in Egypt]. From the time Egypt first became [a country], there has never been a hailstorm [as bad as this one will be].
| فَأَرْسِلِ الآنَ وَاجْمَعْ مَوَاشِيَكَ وَكُلَّ مَالَكَ فِي الْحَقْلِ، لأَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَمْكُثُ فِي الْحَقْلِ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَالْبَهَائِمِ وَلا يَلْجَأُ إِلَى مَأْوىً، يَنْهَمِرُ عَلَيْهِ الْبَرَدُ فَيَمُوتُ». | ١٩ 19 |
So you should send [a message to everyone] to put their cattle, and everything else that they own that is [out] in the fields, under shelters. The hail will fall on every person and every animal that is out in the fields and that is not put under a shelter, and they will all die.’” [So Moses/I did what Yahweh said].
| فَكُلُّ مَنْ خَافَ كَلِمَةَ الرَّبِّ مِنْ رِجَالِ فِرْعَوْنَ لاذَ بِعَبِيدِهِ وَمَاشِيَتِهِ بِالْبُيُوتِ، | ٢٠ 20 |
Some of the king’s officials who heard what Yahweh had said became very afraid. So they put all their animals and their slaves under shelters.
| أَمَّا الَّذِينَ اسْتَخَفُّوا بِكَلامِ الرَّبِّ فَقَدْ تَرَكُوا عَبِيدَهُمْ وَمَوَاشِيَهُمْ فِي الْحَقْلِ. | ٢١ 21 |
But those who did not pay any attention to what Yahweh had said left their slaves and their animals in the fields.
| وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «مُدَّ يَدَكَ نَحْوَ السَّمَاءِ فَيَنْهَمِرَ الْبَرَدُ عَلَى كُلِّ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، وَعَلَى الرِّجَالِ وَالْبَهَائِمِ وَعَلَى عُشْبِ الْحَقْلِ فِي جَمِيعِ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ». | ٢٢ 22 |
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Raise your hand up toward the sky, in order that hail will fall all over the land of Egypt—on the people and on their animals and on all the plants in the fields.”
| فَمَدَّ مُوسَى عَصَاهُ نَحْوَ السَّمَاءِ، فَأَرْسَلَ الرَّبُّ رُعُوداً وَبَرَداً. وَأَصَابَتِ الصَّوَاعِقُ الأَرْضَ، وَأَمْطَرَ الرَّبُّ بَرَداً عَلَى كُلِّ بِلادِ مِصْرَ، | ٢٣ 23 |
So Moses/I lifted his/my stick up toward the sky. And Yahweh sent down hail, all over the land of Egypt. There was also thunder and lightning.
| فَانْهَمَرَ الْبَرَدُ، وَاخْتَلَطَتِ الصَّوَاعِقُ بِالْبَرَدِ، فَكَانَتْ أَسْوَأَ عَاصِفَةٍ شَهِدَتْهَا أَرْضُ مِصْرَ مُنْذُ أَنْ صَارَتْ أُمَّةً. | ٢٤ 24 |
While very heavy hail was falling, there was thunder, and lightning struck the ground. There had never been a hailstorm like that since Egypt first became a country.
| وَأَصَابَ الْبَرَدُ فِي كُلِّ أَرْجَاءِ مِصْرَ جَمِيعَ مَا فِي الْحُقُولِ مِنْ نَاسٍ وَبَهَائِمَ. وَأَتْلَفَ كُلَّ نَبَاتٍ نَامٍ فِي الْحَقْلِ وَكَسَّرَ جَمِيعَ الأَشْجَارِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
The hail struck everything that was in the fields all over Egypt—every person and every animal. The hail destroyed the plants in the fields and stripped [the leaves off] the trees.
| أَمَّا أَرْضُ جَاسَانَ حَيْثُ يُقِيمُ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَإِنَّهَا وَحْدَهَا لَمْ يَسْقُطْ فِيهَا بَرَدٌ. | ٢٦ 26 |
Only in the Goshen region, where the Israeli people were [living], was there no hail.
| فَأَرْسَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَاسْتَدْعَى مُوسَى وَهَرُونَ وَقَالَ لَهُمَا: «لَقَدْ أَخْطَأْتُ هَذِهِ الْمَرَّةَ وَالرَّبُّ هُوَ الْبَارُّ، أَمَّا أَنَا وَشَعْبِي فَأَشْرَارٌ، | ٢٧ 27 |
Then the king sent [someone] to summon Aaron and Moses/me. [When they/we came to the king], he said to them/us, “This time [I admit that] I have sinned. What Yahweh [has done] is right, and what I and my people [have done] is wrong.
| فَتَضَرَّعَا إِلَى الرَّبِّ إذْ يَكْفِينَا مَا ابْتُلِينَا بِهِ مِنْ رُعُودٍ وَبَرَدٍ، فَأُطْلِقَكُمْ، وَلا تَمْكُثُونَ هُنَا بَعْدُ». | ٢٨ 28 |
(Pray to/Plead with) Yahweh [to cause it to stop]! [We] cannot [endure any more] of this thunder and hail! I will let your people go; they do not have to stay [here in Egypt] any longer.”
| فَأَجَابَ مُوسَى: «حَالَمَا أَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ أَبْسُطُ يَدِي فِي الصَّلاةِ إِلَى الرَّبِّ فَيَتَوَقَّفُ الرَّعْدُ وَيَنْقَطِعُ الْبَرَدُ لِكَيْ تَعْرِفَ أَنَّ الأَرْضَ هِيَ للرَّبِّ. | ٢٩ 29 |
Moses/I replied, “As soon as I go out of this city, I will lift up my hands [and pray] to Yahweh. Then the thunder will cease, and no more hail [will fall]. [This will happen] in order that you will know that Yahweh, [not your gods], controls everything [that happens] on the earth.
| وَلَكِنَّنِي عَالِمٌ أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ وَحَاشِيَتَكَ مَازِلْتُمْ لَا تَخْشَوْنَ الرَّبَّ الإِلَهَ». | ٣٠ 30 |
But as for you and your officials, I know that you do not yet fear Yahweh God.”
| إنَّ الْكَتَّانَ وَالشَّعِيرَ قَدْ تَلِفَا، لأَنَّ الشَّعِيرَ أَصْبَحَ سَنَابِلَ، وَالكَتَّانَ كَانَ مُبْزِراً، | ٣١ 31 |
When the hail fell, the flax was ruined because the buds were forming, and the barley was ruined because its grain was ripe.
| أَمَّا الْحِنْطَةُ وَالقَطَانِيُّ فَلَمْ تَتْلَفْ بَعْدُ لأَنَّهَا تَنْمُو مُتَأَخِّرَةً. | ٣٢ 32 |
But none of the wheat crops was ruined, because their shoots were still very small.
| وَانْصَرَفَ مُوسَى مِنْ لَدُنْ فِرْعَوْنَ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ وَبَسَطَ يَدَيْهِ إِلَى الرَّبِّ، فَتَوَقَّفَ الرَّعْدُ وَالْبَرَدُ وَانْقَطَعَ الْمَطَرُ عَنِ الانْهِمَارِ عَلَى الأَرْضِ. | ٣٣ 33 |
So Moses/I left the king and went outside the city. He/I lifted up his/my hands toward Yahweh [and prayed]. Then the thunder and the hail stopped, and the rain also stopped falling on the land [of Egypt].
| وَعِنْدَمَا رَأَى فِرْعَوْنُ أَنَّ الْمَطَرَ وَالْبَرَدَ وَالرَّعْدَ قَدْ تَوَقَّفَتْ أَخْطَأَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى وَصَلَّبَ قَلْبَهُ هُوَ وَحَاشِيَتُهُ. | ٣٤ 34 |
But when the king saw that the rain and the hail and the thunder had stopped, he sinned again. He and his officials continued to be stubborn [IDM].
| وَهَكَذَا تَقَسَّى قَلْبُ فِرْعَوْنَ، فَلَمْ يُطْلِقْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، تَمَاماً كَمَا أَنْبَأَ الرَّبُّ عَلَى لِسَانِ مُوسَى. | ٣٥ 35 |
So, just as Yahweh had predicted by what he told Moses/me, the king did not allow the Israeli people to leave.
