< Exodus 9 >

1 And the Lord said to Moses: Go in to Pharao, and speak to him: Thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews: Let my people go to sacrifice to me.
ثُمَّ قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «ٱدْخُلْ إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ وَقُلْ لَهُ: هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ ٱلْعِبْرَانِيِّينَ: أَطْلِقْ شَعْبِي لِيَعْبُدُونِي.١
2 But if thou refuse, and withhold them still:
فَإِنَّهُ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَأْبَى أَنْ تُطْلِقَهُمْ وَكُنْتَ تُمْسِكُهُمْ بَعْدُ،٢
3 Behold my hand shall be upon thy fields: and a very grievous murrain upon thy horses, and asses, and camels, and oxen, and sheep.
فَهَا يَدُ ٱلرَّبِّ تَكُونُ عَلَى مَوَاشِيكَ ٱلَّتِي فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ، عَلَى ٱلْخَيْلِ وَٱلْحَمِيرِ وَٱلْجِمَالِ وَٱلْبَقَرِ وَٱلْغَنَمِ، وَبَأً ثَقِيلًا جِدًّا.٣
4 And the Lord will make a wonderful difference between the possessions of Israel and the possessions of the Egyptians, that nothing at all shall die of those things that belong to the children of Israel.
وَيُمَيِّزُ ٱلرَّبُّ بَيْنَ مَوَاشِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَمَوَاشِي ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ. فَلَا يَمُوتُ مِنْ كُلِّ مَا لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ شَيْءٌ».٤
5 And the Lord appointed a time, saying: Tomorrow will the Lord do this thing in the land.
وَعَيَّنَ ٱلرَّبُّ وَقْتًا قَائِلًا: «غَدًا يَفْعَلُ ٱلرَّبُّ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ».٥
6 The Lord therefore did this thing the next day: and all the beasts of the Egyptians died, but of the beasts of the children of Israel there died not one.
فَفَعَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ فِي ٱلْغَدِ. فَمَاتَتْ جَمِيعُ مَوَاشِي ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ. وَأَمَّا مَوَاشِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَلَمْ يَمُتْ مِنْهَا وَاحِدٌ.٦
7 And Pharao sent to see: and there was not any thing dead of that which Israel possessed. And Pharao’s heart was hardened, and he did not let the people go.
وَأَرْسَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَإِذَا مَوَاشِي إِسْرَائِيلَ لَمْ يَمُتْ مِنْهَا وَلَا وَاحِدٌ. وَلَكِنْ غَلُظَ قَلْبُ فِرْعَوْنَ فَلَمْ يُطْلِقِ ٱلشَّعْبَ.٧
8 And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron: Take to you handfuls of ashes out of the chimney, and let Moses sprinkle it in the air in the presence of Pharao.
ثُمَّ قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى وَهَارُونَ: «خُذَا مِلْءَ أَيْدِيكُمَا مِنْ رَمَادِ ٱلأَتُونِ، وَلْيُذَرِّهِ مُوسَى نَحْوَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْ فِرْعَوْنَ،٨
9 And be there dust upon all the land of Egypt: for there shall be boils and swelling blains both in men and beasts in the whole land of Egypt.
لِيَصِيرَ غُبَارًا عَلَى كُلِّ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. فَيَصِيرَ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ وَعَلَى ٱلْبَهَائِمِ دَمَامِلَ طَالِعَةً بِبُثُورٍ فِي كُلِّ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ».٩
10 And they took ashes out of the chimney, and stood before Pharao, and Moses sprinkled it in the air: and there came boils with swelling blains in men and beasts.
فَأَخَذَا رَمَادَ ٱلْأَتُونِ وَوَقَفَا أَمَامَ فِرْعَوْنَ، وَذَرَّاهُ مُوسَى نَحْوَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، فَصَارَ دَمَامِلَ بُثُورٍ طَالِعَةً فِي ٱلنَّاسِ وَفِي ٱلْبَهَائِمِ.١٠
11 Neither could the magicians stand before Moses for the boils that were upon them, and in all the land of Egypt.
وَلَمْ يَسْتَطِعِ ٱلْعَرَّافُونَ أَنْ يَقِفُوا أَمَامَ مُوسَى مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلدَّمَامِلِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلدَّمَامِلَ كَانَتْ فِي ٱلْعَرَّافِينَ وَفِي كُلِّ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ.١١
12 And the Lord hardened Pharao’s heart, and he hearkened not unto them, as the Lord had spoken to Moses.
وَلَكِنْ شَدَّدَ ٱلرَّبُّ قَلْبَ فِرْعَوْنَ فَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ لَهُمَا، كَمَا كَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى.١٢
13 And the Lord said to Moses: Arise in the morning, and stand before Pharao, and thou shalt say to him: Thus saith the Lord the God of the Hebrews: Let my people go to sacrifice to me.
ثُمَّ قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «بَكِّرْ فِي ٱلصَّبَاحِ وَقِفْ أَمَامَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَقُلْ لَهُ: هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ ٱلْعِبْرَانِيِّينَ: أَطْلِقْ شَعْبِي لِيَعْبُدُونِي.١٣
14 For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thy heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people: that thou mayst know there is none like me in all the earth.
لِأَنِّي هَذِهِ ٱلْمَرَّةَ أُرْسِلُ جَمِيعَ ضَرَبَاتِي إِلَى قَلْبِكَ وَعَلَى عَبِيدِكَ وَشَعْبِكَ، لِكَيْ تَعْرِفَ أَنْ لَيْسَ مِثْلِي فِي كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ.١٤
15 For now I will stretch out my hand to strike thee, and thy people with pestilence, and thou shalt perish from the earth.
فَإِنَّهُ ٱلْآنَ لَوْ كُنْتُ أَمُدُّ يَدِي وَأَضْرِبُكَ وَشَعْبَكَ بِٱلْوَبَإِ، لَكُنْتَ تُبَادُ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ.١٥
16 And therefore have I raised thee, that I may shew my power in thee, and my name may be spoken of throughout all the earth.
وَلَكِنْ لِأَجْلِ هَذَا أَقَمْتُكَ، لِكَيْ أُرِيَكَ قُوَّتِي، وَلِكَيْ يُخْبَرَ بِٱسْمِي فِي كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ.١٦
17 Dost thou yet hold back my people: and wilt thou not let them go?
أَنْتَ مُعَانِدٌ بَعْدُ لِشَعْبِي حَتَّى لَا تُطْلِقَهُ.١٧
18 Behold I will cause it to rain tomorrow at this same hour, an exceeding great hail: such as hath not been in Egypt from the day that it was founded, until this present time.
هَا أَنَا غَدًا مِثْلَ ٱلْآنَ أُمْطِرُ بَرَدًا عَظِيمًا جِدًّا لَمْ يَكُنْ مِثْلُهُ فِي مِصْرَ مُنْذُ يَوْمِ تَأْسِيسِهَا إِلَى ٱلْآنَ.١٨
19 Send therefore now presently, and gather together thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field: for men and beasts, and all things that shall be found abroad, and not gathered together out of the fields, which the hail shall fall upon, shall die.
فَٱلْآنَ أَرْسِلِ ٱحْمِ مَوَاشِيَكَ وَكُلَّ مَا لَكَ فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ. جَمِيعُ ٱلنَّاسِ وَٱلْبَهَائِمِ ٱلَّذِينَ يُوجَدُونَ فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ وَلَا يُجْمَعُونَ إِلَى ٱلْبُيُوتِ، يَنْزِلُ عَلَيْهِمِ ٱلْبَرَدُ فَيَمُوتُونَ».١٩
20 He that feared the word of the Lord among Pharao’s servants, made his servants and his cattle flee into houses:
فَٱلَّذِي خَافَ كَلِمَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ مِنْ عَبِيدِ فِرْعَوْنَ هَرَبَ بِعَبِيدِهِ وَمَوَاشِيهِ إِلَى ٱلْبُيُوتِ.٢٠
21 But he that regarded not the word of the Lord, left his servants and his cattle in the fields:
وَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِي لَمْ يُوَجِّهْ قَلْبَهُ إِلَى كَلِمَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ فَتَرَكَ عَبِيدَهُ وَمَوَاشِيَهُ فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ.٢١
22 And the Lord said to Moses: Stretch forth thy hand towards heaven, that there may be hail in the whole land of Egypt, upon men, and upon beasts, and upon every herb of the field in the land of Egypt.
ثُمَّ قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «مُدَّ يَدَكَ نَحْوَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ لِيَكُونَ بَرَدٌ فِي كُلِّ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ: عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ وَعَلَى ٱلْبَهَائِمِ وَعَلَى كُلِّ عُشْبِ ٱلْحَقْلِ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ».٢٢
23 And Moses stretched forth his rod towards heaven, and the Lord sent thunder and hail, and lightning running along the ground: and the Lord rained hail upon the land of Egypt.
فَمَدَّ مُوسَى عَصَاهُ نَحْوَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، فَأَعْطَى ٱلرَّبُّ رُعُودًا وَبَرَدًا، وَجَرَتْ نَارٌ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَأَمْطَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ بَرَدًا عَلَى أَرْضِ مِصْرَ.٢٣
24 And the hail and fire mixed with it drove on together: and it was of so great bigness, as never before was seen in the whole land of Egypt since that nation was founded.
فَكَانَ بَرَدٌ، وَنَارٌ مُتَوَاصِلَةٌ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْبَرَدِ. شَيْءٌ عَظِيمٌ جِدًّا لَمْ يَكُنْ مِثْلُهُ فِي كُلِّ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ مُنْذُ صَارَتْ أُمَّةً.٢٤
25 And the hail destroyed through all the land of Egypt all things that were in the fields, both man and beast: and the hail smote every herb of the field, and it broke every tree of the country.
فَضَرَبَ ٱلْبَرَدُ فِي كُلِّ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ جَمِيعَ مَا فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَٱلْبَهَائِمِ. وَضَرَبَ ٱلْبَرَدُ جَمِيعَ عُشْبِ ٱلْحَقْلِ وَكَسَّرَ جَمِيعَ شَجَرِ ٱلْحَقْلِ.٢٥
26 Only in the land of Gessen, where the children of Israel were, the hail fell not.
إِلَّا أَرْضَ جَاسَانَ حَيْثُ كَانَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَلَمْ يَكُنْ فِيهَا بَرَدٌ.٢٦
27 And Pharao sent and called Moses and Aaron, saying to them: I have sinned this time also; the Lord is just: I and my people are wicked.
فَأَرْسَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَدَعَا مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ وَقَالَ لَهُمَا: «أَخْطَأْتُ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَرَّةَ. ٱلرَّبُّ هُوَ ٱلْبَارُّ وَأَنَا وَشَعْبِي ٱلْأَشْرَارُ.٢٧
28 Pray ye to the Lord, that the thunderings of God and the hail may cease: that I may let you go, and that you may stay here no longer.
صَلِّيَا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ، وَكَفَى حُدُوثُ رُعُودِ ٱللهِ وَٱلْبَرَدُ، فَأُطْلِقَكُمْ وَلَا تَعُودُوا تَلْبَثُونَ».٢٨
29 Moses said: As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will stretch forth my hands to the Lord, and the thunders shall cease, and the hail shall be no more: that thou mayst know that the earth is the Lord’s.
فَقَالَ لَهُ مُوسَى: «عِنْدَ خُرُوجِي مِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ أَبْسِطُ يَدَيَّ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ، فَتَنْقَطِعُ ٱلرُّعُودُ وَلَا يَكُونُ ٱلْبَرَدُ أَيْضًا، لِكَيْ تَعْرِفَ أَنَّ لِلرَّبِّ ٱلْأَرْضَ.٢٩
30 But I know that neither thou, nor thy servants do yet fear the Lord God.
وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ وَعَبِيدُكَ فَأَنَا أَعْلَمُ أَنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَخْشَوْا بَعْدُ مِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلْإِلَهِ».٣٠
31 The flax therefore and the barley were hurt, because the barley was green, and the flax was now boiled:
فَٱلْكَتَّانُ وَٱلشَّعِيرُ ضُرِبَا. لِأَنَّ ٱلشَّعِيرَ كَانَ مُسْبِلًا وَٱلْكَتَّانُ مُبْزِرًا.٣١
32 But the wheat, and other winter corn were not hurt, because they were lateward.
وَأَمَّا ٱلْحِنْطَةُ وَٱلْقَطَانِيُّ فَلَمْ تُضْرَبْ لِأَنَّهَا كَانَتْ مُتَأَخِّرَةً.٣٢
33 And when Moses was gone from Pharao out of the city, he stretched forth his hands to the Lord: and the thunders and the hail ceased, neither did there drop any more rain upon the earth.
فَخَرَجَ مُوسَى مِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ مِنْ لَدُنْ فِرْعَوْنَ وَبَسَطَ يَدَيْهِ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ، فَٱنْقَطَعَتِ ٱلرُّعُودُ وَٱلْبَرَدُ وَلَمْ يَنْصَبَّ ٱلْمَطَرُ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ.٣٣
34 And Pharao seeing that the rain and the hail, and the thunders were ceased, increased his sin.
وَلَكِنْ فِرْعَوْنُ لَمَّا رَأَى أَنَّ ٱلْمَطَرَ وَٱلْبَرَدَ وَٱلرُّعُودَ ٱنْقَطَعَتْ، عَادَ يُخْطِئُ وَأَغْلَظَ قَلْبَهُ هُوَ وَعَبِيدُهُ.٣٤
35 And his heart was hardened, and the heart of his servants, and it was made exceeding hard: neither did he let the children of Israel go, as the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses.
فَٱشْتَدَّ قَلْبُ فِرْعَوْنَ فَلَمْ يُطْلِقْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْ يَدِ مُوسَى.٣٥
