Exodus 33
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: God, get thee up from this place, thou and thy people which thou has brought out of the land of Egypt, into the land concerning which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying: To thy seed I will give it.
| وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «اتْرُكْ هَذَا الْمَكَانَ أَنْتَ وَالشَّعْبُ الَّذِي أَصْعَدْتَهُ مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ، وَامْضِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَقْسَمْتُ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ قَائِلاً: سَأَهَبُهَا لِنَسْلِكَ. | ١ |
2 And I will send an angel before thee, that I may cast out the Chanaanite, and the Amorrhite, and the Hethite, and the Pherezite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite.
| وَسَأُرْسِلُ أَمَامَكَ مَلاكاً، وَأَطْرُدُ الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ وَالأَمُورِيِّينَ وَالْحِثِّيِّينَ وَالْفَرِزِّيِّينَ وَالْحِوِّيِّينَ وَالْيَبُوسِيِّينَ. | ٢ |
3 That thou mayst enter into the land that floweth with milk and honey. For I will not go up with thee, because thou art a stiffnecked people: lest I destroy thee in the way.
| إِنَّهَا أَرْضٌ تَفِيضُ لَبَناً وَعَسَلاً. أَمَّا أَنَا فَلَنْ أَسِيرَ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ لأَنَّكُمْ شَعْبٌ مُتَصَلِّبُ الْقَلْبِ لِئَلّا أَفْنِيَكُمْ فِي الطَّرِيقِ». | ٣ |
4 And the people hearing these very bad tidings, mourned: and no man put on his ornaments according to custom.
| فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ الْشَّعْبُ هَذَا الْكَلامَ الْقَاسِي، شَرَعُوا فِي النَّوْحِ، وَلَمْ يَتَزَيَّنْ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ. | ٤ |
5 And the Lord said to Moses: Say to the children of Israel: Thou are a stiffnecked people; once I shall come up in the midst of thee, and shall destroy thee. Now presently lay aside thy ornaments, that I may know what to do with thee.
| وَكَانَ الرَّبُّ قَدْ قَالَ لِمُوسَى: «قُلْ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْتُمْ شَعْبٌ مُتَصَلِّبُ الْقَلْبِ، لِهَذَا إِنْ بَقِيتُ لَحْظَةً وَاحِدَةً فِي وَسَطِكُمْ أَفْنِيكُمْ. وَلَكِنِ الْآنَ انْزَعُوا زِينَتَكُمْ عَنْكُمْ إِلَى أَنْ أَتَّخِذَ قَرَارِي بِشَأْنِكُمْ». | ٥ |
6 So the children of Israel laid aside their ornaments by mount Horeb.
| فَخَلَعَ الشَّعْبُ زِينَتَهُمْ عِنْدَ جَبَلِ حُورِيبَ. | ٦ |
7 Moses also taking the tabernacle, pitched it without the camp afar off, and called the name thereof, The tabernacle of the covenant. And all the people that had any question, went forth to the tabernacle of the covenant, without the camp.
| وَأَخَذَ مُوسَى خَيْمَةً وَنَصَبَهَا بَعِيداً خَارِجَ الْمُخَيَّمِ، وَدَعَاهَا خَيْمَةَ الاجْتِمَاعِ. فَكَانَ كُلُّ مُلْتَمِسٍ لِلرَّبِّ يَسْعَى إِلَى خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ الْقَائِمَةِ خَارِجَ الْمُخَيَّمِ. | ٧ |
8 And when Moses went forth to the tabernacle, all the people rose up, and every one stood in the door of his pavilion, and they beheld the back of Moses, till he went into the tabernacle.
| وَكُلَّمَا مَضَى مُوسَى إِلَى الْخَيْمَةِ، كَانَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَ الشَّعْبِ يَقِفُ فِي بَابِ خَيْمَتِهِ، وَيُتَابِعُونَهُ بِأَنْظَارِهِمْ إِلَى أَنْ يَدْخُلَهَا. | ٨ |
9 And when he was gone into the tabernacle of the covenant, the pillar of the cloud came down, and stood at the door, and he spoke with Moses.
| وَمَا إِنْ يَتَوَارَى مُوسَى فِيهَا، حَتَّى يَنْزِلَ عَمُودُ السَّحَابِ وَيَقِفَ عِنْدَ مَدْخَلِهَا، فَيَتَكَلَّمُ الرَّبُّ مَعَ مُوسَى، | ٩ |
10 And all saw that the pillar of the cloud stood at the door of the tabernacle. And they stood, and worshipped at the doors of their tents.
| فَيُشَاهِدُ جَمِيعُ الشَّعْبِ عَمُودَ السَّحَابِ وَاقِفاً عِنْدَ بَابِ الْخَيْمَةِ، فَيَسْجُدُونَ لِلرَّبِّ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ أَمَامَ بَابِ خَيْمَتِهِ، | ١٠ |
11 And the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as a man is wont to speak to his friend. And when he returned into the camp, his servant Josue the son of Nun, a young man, departed not from the tabernacle.
| فَكَانَ الرَّبُّ يُكَلِّمُ مُوسَى وَجْهاً لِوَجْهٍ كَمَا يُكَلِّمُ الإِنْسَانُ صَاحِبَهُ. وَإذَا رَجَعَ مُوسَى إِلَى الْمُخَيَّمِ، كَانَ خَادِمُهُ الشَّابُ يَشُوعُ بْنُ نُونَ يَمْكُثُ دَاخِلَ الْخَيْمَةِ. | ١١ |
12 And Moses said to the Lord; Thou commandest me to lead forth this people: and thou dost not let me know whom thou wilt send with me, especially whereas thou hast said: I know thee by name, and thou hast found favour in my sight.
| وَقَالَ مُوسَى لِلرَّبَّ: «هَا أَنْتَ قَدْ قُلْتَ لِي: قُدْ هَذَا الشَّعْبَ، وَلَكِنْ لَمْ تُعْلِمْنِي مَنْ سَتُرْسِلُ مَعِي. ثُمَّ قُلْتَ: إِنِّي عَرَفْتُكَ بِاسْمِكَ وَحَظِيتَ بِرِضَايْ. | ١٢ |
13 If therefore I have found favour in thy sight, show me thy face, that I may know thee, and may find grace before thy eyes: look upon thy people this nation.
| فَالآنَ إِنْ كُنْتُ حَقّاً قَدْ حَظِيتُ بِرِضَاكَ، فَأَرْشِدْنِي إِلَى طَرِيقِكَ لِكَيْ أَسْلُكَ حَسَبَ قَصْدِكَ، وَأَحْظَى بِمَسَرَّتِكَ، وَاذْكُرْ أَيْضاً أَنَّ هَذِهِ الأُمَّةَ هِيَ شَعْبُكَ». | ١٣ |
14 And the Lord said: My face shall go before thee, and I will give thee rest.
| فَأَجَابَهُ: «إِنِّي أُرَافِقُكَ فَأُرِيحُكَ». | ١٤ |
15 And Moses said: If thou thyself dost not go before, bring us not out of this place.
| فَقَالَ مُوسَى: «إِنْ لَمْ تُرَافِقْنَا، فَلا تُصْعِدْنَا مِنْ هُنَا، | ١٥ |
16 For how shall we be able to know, I and thy people, that we have found grace in thy sight, unless thou walk with us, that we may be glorified by all people that dwell upon the earth?
| إِذْ كَيْفَ يُدْرَكُ أَنَّنِي وَشَعْبَكَ قَدْ حَظِينَا بِرِضَاكَ؟ أَلَيْسَ بِمُرَافَقَتِكَ لَنَا، فَنَتَمَيَّزُ أَنَا وَشَعْبُكَ بِذَلِكَ عَنْ جَمِيعِ الشُّعُوبِ السَّاكِنِينَ فِي الأَرْضِ؟» | ١٦ |
17 And the Lord said to Moses: This word also, which thou hast spoken, will I do: for thou hast found grace before me, and thee I have known by name.
| فَأَجَابَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى: «سَأَفْعَلُ عَيْنَ هَذَا الأَمْرِ الَّذِي الْتَمَسْتَهُ. لأَنَّكَ حَظِيتَ بِرِضَايْ وَأَنَا عَرَفْتُكَ بِاسْمِكَ». | ١٧ |
18 And he said: Shew me thy glory.
| وَقَالَ مُوسَى: «أَرِنِي مَجْدَكَ». | ١٨ |
19 He answered: I will shew thee all good, and I will proclaim in the name of the Lord before thee: and I will have mercy on whom I will, and I will be merciful to whom it shall please me.
| فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ: «أُجِيزُ إِحْسَانَاتِي أَمَامَكَ، وَأُذِيعُ اسْمِي (الرَّبَّ) أَمَامَكَ. أُغْدِقُ رَأْفَتِي عَلَى مَنْ أَشَاءُ وَرَحْمَتِي عَلَى مَنْ أُرِيدُ»، | ١٩ |
20 And again he said: Thou canst not see my face: for man shall not see me and live.
| وَأَضَافَ: «وَلَكِنَّكَ لَنْ تَرَى وَجْهِي، لأَنَّ الإِنْسَانَ الَّذِي يَرَانِي لَا يَعِيشُ». | ٢٠ |
21 And again he said: Behold there is a place with me, and thou shalt stand upon the rock.
| ثُمَّ قَالَ الرَّبُّ: «لَدَيَّ مَكَانٌ قَرِيبٌ مِنِّي. فَقِفْ عَلَى الصَّخْرَةِ، | ٢١ |
22 And when my glory shall pass, I will set thee in a hole of the rock, and protect thee with my right hand, till I pass:
| وَعِنْدَمَا يَعْبُرُ مَجْدِي، أَضَعُكَ فِي نُقْرَةٍ مِنَ الصَّخْرِ، وَأَحْجُبُكَ بِيَدِي حَتَّى أَعْبُرَ، | ٢٢ |
23 And I will take away my hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face thou canst not see.
| ثُمَّ أَرْفَعُ يَدِي فَتَنْظُرُ وَرَائِي، أَمَّا وَجْهِي فَيَظَلُّ مَحْجُوباً عَنِ الْعِيَانِ». | ٢٣ |
