Exodus 2
1 Now a man of the house of Levi took as his wife a daughter of Levi.
| وَذَهَبَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَيْتِ لَاوِي وَأَخَذَ بِنْتَ لَاوِي، | ١ |
2 And she became with child and gave birth to a Son; and when she saw that he was a beautiful child, she kept him secretly for three months.
| فَحَبِلَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ وَوَلَدَتِ ٱبْنًا. وَلَمَّا رَأَتْهُ أَنَّهُ حَسَنٌ، خَبَّأَتْهُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَشْهُرٍ. | ٢ |
3 And when she was no longer able to keep him secret, she made him a basket out of the stems of water-plants, pasting sticky earth over it to keep the water out; and placing the baby in it she put it among the plants by the edge of the Nile.
| وَلَمَّا لَمْ يُمْكِنْهَا أَنْ تُخَبِّئَهُ بَعْدُ، أَخَذَتْ لَهُ سَفَطًا مِنَ ٱلْبَرْدِيِّ وَطَلَتْهُ بِٱلْحُمَرِ وَٱلزِّفْتِ، وَوَضَعَتِ ٱلْوَلَدَ فِيهِ، وَوَضَعَتْهُ بَيْنَ ٱلْحَلْفَاءِ عَلَى حَافَةِ ٱلنَّهْرِ. | ٣ |
4 And his sister took her place at a distance to see what would become of him.
| وَوَقَفَتْ أُخْتُهُ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ لِتَعْرِفَ مَاذَا يُفْعَلُ بِهِ. | ٤ |
5 Now Pharaoh's daughter came down to the Nile to take a bath, while her women were walking by the riverside; and she saw the basket among the river-plants, and sent her servant-girl to get it.
| فَنَزَلَتِ ٱبْنَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ إِلَى ٱلنَّهْرِ لِتَغْتَسِلَ، وَكَانَتْ جَوَارِيهَا مَاشِيَاتٍ عَلَى جَانِبِ ٱلنَّهْرِ. فَرَأَتِ ٱلسَّفَطَ بَيْنَ ٱلْحَلْفَاءِ، فَأَرْسَلَتْ أَمَتَهَا وَأَخَذَتْهُ. | ٥ |
6 And opening it, she saw the child, and he was crying. And she had pity on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews' children.
| وَلَمَّا فَتَحَتْهُ رَأَتِ ٱلْوَلَدَ، وَإِذَا هُوَ صَبِيٌّ يَبْكِي. فَرَقَّتْ لَهُ وَقَالَتْ: «هَذَا مِنْ أَوْلَادِ ٱلْعِبْرَانِيِّينَ». | ٦ |
7 Then his sister said to Pharaoh's daughter, May I go and get you one of the Hebrew women to give him the breast?
| فَقَالَتْ أُخْتُهُ لِٱبْنَةِ فِرْعَوْنَ: «هَلْ أَذْهَبُ وَأَدْعُو لَكِ ٱمْرَأَةً مُرْضِعَةً مِنَ ٱلْعِبْرَانِيَّاتِ لِتُرْضِعَ لَكِ ٱلْوَلَدَ؟» | ٧ |
8 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the girl went and got the child's mother.
| فَقَالَتْ لَهَا ٱبْنَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ: «ٱذْهَبِي». فَذَهَبَتِ ٱلْفَتَاةُ وَدَعَتْ أُمَّ ٱلْوَلَدِ. | ٨ |
9 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Take the child away and give it milk for me, and I will give you payment. And the woman took the child and gave it milk at her breast.
| فَقَالَتْ لَهَا ٱبْنَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ: «ٱذْهَبِي بِهَذَا ٱلْوَلَدِ وَأَرْضِعِيهِ لِي وَأَنَا أُعْطِي أُجْرَتَكِ». فَأَخَذَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ ٱلْوَلَدَ وَأَرْضَعَتْهُ. | ٩ |
10 And when the child was older, she took him to Pharaoh's daughter and he became her son, and she gave him the name Moses, Because, she said, I took him out of the water.
| وَلَمَّا كَبِرَ ٱلْوَلَدُ جَاءَتْ بِهِ إِلَى ٱبْنَةِ فِرْعَوْنَ فَصَارَ لَهَا ٱبْنًا، وَدَعَتِ ٱسْمَهُ «مُوسَى» وَقَالَتْ: «إِنِّي ٱنْتَشَلْتُهُ مِنَ ٱلْمَاءِ». | ١٠ |
11 Now when Moses had become a man, one day he went out to his people and saw how hard their work was; and he saw an Egyptian giving blows to a Hebrew, one of his people.
| وَحَدَثَ فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لَمَّا كَبِرَ مُوسَى أَنَّهُ خَرَجَ إِلَى إِخْوَتِهِ لِيَنْظُرَ فِي أَثْقَالِهِمْ، فَرَأَى رَجُلًا مِصْرِيًّا يَضْرِبُ رَجُلًا عِبْرَانِيًّا مِنْ إِخْوَتِهِ، | ١١ |
12 And turning this way and that, and seeing no one, he put the Egyptian to death, covering his body with sand.
| فَٱلْتَفَتَ إِلَى هُنَا وَهُنَاكَ وَرَأَى أَنْ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ، فَقَتَلَ ٱلْمِصْرِيَّ وَطَمَرَهُ فِي ٱلرَّمْلِ. | ١٢ |
13 And he went out the day after and saw two of the Hebrews fighting: and he said to him who was in the wrong, Why are you fighting your brother?
| ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّانِي وَإِذَا رَجُلَانِ عِبْرَانِيَّانِ يَتَخَاصَمَانِ، فَقَالَ لِلْمُذْنِبِ: «لِمَاذَا تَضْرِبُ صَاحِبَكَ؟» | ١٣ |
14 And he said, Who made you a ruler and a judge over us? are you going to put me to death as you did the Egyptian? And Moses was in fear, and said, It is clear that the thing has come to light.
| فَقَالَ: «مَنْ جَعَلَكَ رَئِيسًا وَقَاضِيًا عَلَيْنَا؟ أَمُفْتَكِرٌ أَنْتَ بِقَتْلِي كَمَا قَتَلْتَ ٱلْمِصْرِيَّ؟». فَخَافَ مُوسَى وَقَالَ: «حَقًّا قَدْ عُرِفَ ٱلْأَمْرُ». | ١٤ |
15 Now when Pharaoh had news of this, he would have put Moses to death. But Moses went in flight from Pharaoh into the land of Midian: and he took his seat by a water-spring.
| فَسَمِعَ فِرْعَوْنُ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ، فَطَلَبَ أَنْ يَقْتُلَ مُوسَى. فَهَرَبَ مُوسَى مِنْ وَجْهِ فِرْعَوْنَ وَسَكَنَ فِي أَرْضِ مِدْيَانَ، وَجَلَسَ عِنْدَ ٱلْبِئْرِ. | ١٥ |
16 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came to get water for their father's flock.
| وَكَانَ لِكَاهِنِ مِدْيَانَ سَبْعُ بَنَاتٍ، فَأَتَيْنَ وَٱسْتَقَيْنَ وَمَلَأْنَ ٱلْأَجْرَانَ لِيَسْقِينَ غَنَمَ أَبِيهِنَّ. | ١٦ |
17 And the keepers of the sheep came up and were driving them away; but Moses got up and came to their help, watering their flock for them.
| فَأَتَى ٱلرُّعَاةُ وَطَرَدُوهُنَّ. فَنَهَضَ مُوسَى وَأَنْجَدَهُنَّ وَسَقَى غَنَمَهُنَّ. | ١٧ |
18 And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that you have come back so quickly today?
| فَلَمَّا أَتَيْنَ إِلَى رَعُوئِيلَ أَبِيهِنَّ قَالَ: «مَا بَالُكُنَّ أَسْرَعْتُنَّ فِي ٱلْمَجِيءِ ٱلْيَوْمَ؟» | ١٨ |
19 And they said, An Egyptian came to our help against the keepers of sheep and got water for us and gave it to the flock.
| فَقُلْنَ: «رَجُلٌ مِصْرِيٌّ أَنْقَذَنَا مِنْ أَيْدِي ٱلرُّعَاةِ، وَإِنَّهُ ٱسْتَقَى لَنَا أَيْضًا وَسَقَى ٱلْغَنَمَ». | ١٩ |
20 And he said to his daughters, Where is he? why have you let the man go? make him come in and give him a meal.
| فَقَالَ لِبَنَاتِهِ: «وَأَيْنَ هُوَ؟ لِمَاذَا تَرَكْتُنَّ ٱلرَّجُلَ؟ ٱدْعُونَهُ لِيَأْكُلَ طَعَامًا». | ٢٠ |
21 And Moses was happy to go on living with the man; and he gave his daughter Zipporah to Moses.
| فَٱرْتَضَى مُوسَى أَنْ يَسْكُنَ مَعَ ٱلرَّجُلِ، فَأَعْطَى مُوسَى صَفُّورَةَ ٱبْنَتَهُ. | ٢١ |
22 And she gave birth to a son, to whom he gave the name Gershom: for he said, I have been living in a strange land.
| فَوَلَدَتِ ٱبْنًا فَدَعَا ٱسْمَهُ «جَرْشُومَ»، لِأَنَّهُ قَالَ: «كُنْتُ نَزِيلًا فِي أَرْضٍ غَرِيبَةٍ». | ٢٢ |
23 Now after a long time the king of Egypt came to his end: and the children of Israel were crying in their grief under the weight of their work, and their cry for help came to the ears of God.
| وَحَدَثَ فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلْكَثِيرَةِ أَنَّ مَلِكَ مِصْرَ مَاتَ. وَتَنَهَّدَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنَ ٱلْعُبُودِيَّةِ وَصَرَخُوا، فَصَعِدَ صُرَاخُهُمْ إِلَى ٱللهِ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْعُبُودِيَّةِ. | ٢٣ |
24 And at the sound of their weeping the agreement which God had made with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob came to his mind.
| فَسَمِعَ ٱللهُ أَنِينَهُمْ، فَتَذَكَّرَ ٱللهُ مِيثَاقَهُ مَعَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ. | ٢٤ |
25 And God's eyes were turned to the children of Israel and he gave them the knowledge of himself.
| وَنَظَرَ ٱللهُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَعَلِمَ ٱللهُ. | ٢٥ |
