< Exodus 7 >

1 And the Lord said to Moses, See I have made you a god to Pharaoh, and Aaron your brother will be your prophet.
فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «ٱنْظُرْ! أَنَا جَعَلْتُكَ إِلَهًا لِفِرْعَوْنَ. وَهَارُونُ أَخُوكَ يَكُونُ نَبِيَّكَ.١
2 Say whatever I give you orders to say: and Aaron your brother will give word to Pharaoh to let the children of Israel go out of his land.
أَنْتَ تَتَكَلَّمُ بِكُلِّ مَا آمُرُكَ، وَهَارُونُ أَخُوكَ يُكَلِّمُ فِرْعَوْنَ لِيُطْلِقَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ أَرْضِهِ.٢
3 And I will make Pharaoh's heart hard, and my signs and wonders will be increased in the land of Egypt.
وَلَكِنِّي أُقَسِّي قَلْبَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَأُكَثِّرُ آيَاتِي وَعَجَائِبِي فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ.٣
4 But Pharaoh will not give ear to you, and I will put my hand on Egypt, and take my armies, my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt, after great punishments.
وَلَا يَسْمَعُ لَكُمَا فِرْعَوْنُ حَتَّى أَجْعَلَ يَدِي عَلَى مِصْرَ، فَأُخْرِجَ أَجْنَادِي، شَعْبِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ بِأَحْكَامٍ عَظِيمَةٍ.٤
5 And the Egyptians will see that I am the Lord, when my hand is stretched out over Egypt, and I take the children of Israel out from among them.
فَيَعْرِفُ ٱلْمِصْرِيُّونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ حِينَمَا أَمُدُّ يَدِي عَلَى مِصْرَ وَأُخْرِجُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ بَيْنِهِمْ».٥
6 And Moses and Aaron did so: as the Lord gave them orders, so they did.
فَفَعَلَ مُوسَى وَهَارُونُ كَمَا أَمَرَهُمَا ٱلرَّبُّ. هَكَذَا فَعَلَا.٦
7 And Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three years old, when they gave the Lord's word to Pharaoh.
وَكَانَ مُوسَى ٱبْنَ ثَمَانِينَ سَنَةً، وَهَارُونُ ٱبْنَ ثَلَاثٍ وَثَمَانِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ كَلَّمَا فِرْعَوْنَ.٧
8 And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ قَائِلًا:٨
9 If Pharaoh says to you, Let me see a wonder: then say to Aaron, Take your rod and put it down on the earth before Pharaoh so that it may become a snake.
«إِذَا كَلَّمَكُمَا فِرْعَوْنُ قَائِلًا: هَاتِيَا عَجِيبَةً، تَقُولُ لِهَارُونَ: خُذْ عَصَاكَ وَٱطْرَحْهَا أَمَامَ فِرْعَوْنَ فَتَصِيرَ ثُعْبَانًا».٩
10 Then Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh and they did as the Lord had said: and Aaron put his rod down on the earth before Pharaoh and his servants, and it became a snake.
فَدَخَلَ مُوسَى وَهَارُونُ إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ وَفَعَلَا هَكَذَا كَمَا أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ. طَرَحَ هَارُونُ عَصَاهُ أَمَامَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَأَمَامَ عَبِيدِهِ فَصَارَتْ ثُعْبَانًا.١٠
11 Then Pharaoh sent for the wise men and the wonder-workers, and they, the wonder-workers of Egypt, did the same with their secret arts.
فَدَعَا فِرْعَوْنُ أَيْضًا ٱلْحُكَمَاءَ وَٱلسَّحَرَةَ، فَفَعَلَ عَرَّافُو مِصْرَ أَيْضًا بِسِحْرِهِمْ كَذَلِكَ.١١
12 For every one of them put down his rod on the earth, and they became snakes: but Aaron's rod made a meal of their rods.
طَرَحُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ عَصَاهُ فَصَارَتِ ٱلْعِصِيُّ ثَعَابِينَ. وَلَكِنْ عَصَا هَارُونَ ٱبْتَلَعَتْ عِصِيَّهُمْ.١٢
13 But Pharaoh's heart was made hard, and he did not give ear to them, as the Lord had said.
فَٱشْتَدَّ قَلْبُ فِرْعَوْنَ فَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ لَهُمَا، كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ.١٣
14 And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, Pharaoh's heart is unchanged; he will not let the people go.
ثُمَّ قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «قَلْبُ فِرْعَوْنَ غَلِيظٌ. قَدْ أَبَى أَنْ يُطْلِقَ ٱلشَّعْبَ.١٤
15 Go to Pharaoh in the morning; when he goes out to the water, you will be waiting for him by the edge of the Nile, with the rod which was turned into a snake in your hand;
اِذْهَبْ إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ فِي ٱلصَّبَاحِ. إِنَّهُ يَخْرُجُ إِلَى ٱلْمَاءِ، وَقِفْ لِلِقَائِهِ عَلَى حَافَةِ ٱلنَّهْرِ. وَٱلْعَصَا ٱلَّتِي تَحَوَّلَتْ حَيَّةً تَأْخُذُهَا فِي يَدِكَ.١٥
16 And say to him, The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to you, saying, Let my people go so that they may give me worship in the waste land; but up to now you have not given ear to his words.
وَتَقُولُ لَهُ: ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ ٱلْعِبْرَانِيِّينَ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَيْكَ قَائِلًا: أَطْلِقْ شَعْبِي لِيَعْبُدُونِي فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. وَهُوَذَا حَتَّى ٱلْآنَ لَمْ تَسْمَعْ.١٦
17 So the Lord says, By this you may be certain that I am the Lord; see, by the touch of this rod in my hand the waters of the Nile will be turned to blood;
هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ: بِهَذَا تَعْرِفُ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ: هَا أَنَا أَضْرِبُ بِٱلْعَصَا ٱلَّتِي فِي يَدِي عَلَى ٱلْمَاءِ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلنَّهْرِ فَيَتَحَوَّلُ دَمًا.١٧
18 And the fish in the Nile will come to destruction, and the river will send up a bad smell, and the Egyptians will not be able, for disgust, to make use of the water of the Nile for drinking.
وَيَمُوتُ ٱلسَّمَكُ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلنَّهْرِ وَيَنْتِنُ ٱلنَّهْرُ. فَيَعَافُ ٱلْمِصْرِيُّونَ أَنْ يَشْرَبُوا مَاءً مِنَ ٱلنَّهْرِ».١٨
19 And the Lord said, Say to Aaron, Let the rod in your hand be stretched out over the waters of Egypt, and over the rivers and the streams and the pools, and over every stretch of water, so that they may be turned to blood; and there will be blood through all the land of Egypt, in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.
ثُمَّ قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «قُلْ لِهَارُونَ: خُذْ عَصَاكَ وَمُدَّ يَدَكَ عَلَى مِيَاهِ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ، عَلَى أَنْهَارِهِمْ وَعَلَى سَوَاقِيهِمْ، وَعَلَى آجَامِهِمْ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ مُجْتَمَعَاتِ مِيَاهِهِمْ لِتَصِيرَ دَمًا. فَيَكُونَ دَمٌ فِي كُلِّ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ فِي ٱلْأَخْشَابِ وَفِي ٱلْأَحْجَارِ».١٩
20 And Moses and Aaron did as the Lord had said; and when his rod had been lifted up and stretched out over the waters of the Nile before the eyes of Pharaoh and his servants, all the water in the Nile was turned to blood;
فَفَعَلَ هَكَذَا مُوسَى وَهَارُونُ كَمَا أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ. رَفَعَ ٱلْعَصَا وَضَرَبَ ٱلْمَاءَ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلنَّهْرِ أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْ فِرْعَوْنَ وَأَمَامَ عُيُونِ عَبِيدِهِ، فَتَحَوَّلَ كُلُّ ٱلْمَاءِ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلنَّهْرِ دَمًا.٢٠
21 And the fish in the Nile came to destruction, and a bad smell went up from the river, and the Egyptians were not able to make use of the water of the Nile for drinking; and there was blood through all the land of Egypt.
وَمَاتَ ٱلسَّمَكُ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلنَّهْرِ وَأَنْتَنَ ٱلنَّهْرُ، فَلَمْ يَقْدِرِ ٱلْمِصْرِيُّونَ أَنْ يَشْرَبُوا مَاءً مِنَ ٱلنَّهْرِ. وَكَانَ ٱلدَّمُ فِي كُلِّ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ.٢١
22 And the wonder-workers of Egypt did the same with their secret arts: but Pharaoh's heart was made hard, and he would not give ear to them, as the Lord had said.
وَفَعَلَ عَرَّافُو مِصْرَ كَذَلِكَ بِسِحْرِهِمْ. فَٱشْتَدَّ قَلْبُ فِرْعَوْنَ فَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ لَهُمَا، كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ.٢٢
23 Then Pharaoh went into his house, and did not take even this to heart.
ثُمَّ ٱنْصَرَفَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَدَخَلَ بَيْتَهُ وَلَمْ يُوَجِّهْ قَلْبَهُ إِلَى هَذَا أَيْضًا.٢٣
24 And all the Egyptians made holes round about the Nile to get drinking-water, for they were not able to make use of the Nile water.
وَحَفَرَ جَمِيعُ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ حَوَالَيِ ٱلنَّهْرِ لِأَجْلِ مَاءٍ لِيَشْرَبُوا، لِأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَقْدِرُوا أَنْ يَشْرَبُوا مِنْ مَاءِ ٱلنَّهْرِ.٢٤
25 And seven days went past, after the Lord had put his hand on the Nile.
وَكَمُلَتْ سَبْعَةُ أَيَّامٍ بَعْدَ مَا ضَرَبَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلنَّهْرَ.٢٥
