< Exodus 14 >

1 Then the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:١
2 Speake to the children of Israel, that they returne and campe before Pi-hahiroth, betweene Migdol and the Sea, ouer against Baal-zephon: about it shall ye campe by the Sea.
«كَلِّمْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يَرْجِعُوا وَيَنْزِلُوا أَمَامَ فَمِ ٱلْحِيرُوثِ بَيْنَ مَجْدَلَ وَٱلْبَحْرِ، أَمَامَ بَعْلَ صَفُونَ. مُقَابِلَهُ تَنْزِلُونَ عِنْدَ ٱلْبَحْرِ.٢
3 For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are tangled in the land: the wildernesse hath shut them in.
فَيَقُولُ فِرْعَوْنُ عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: هُمْ مُرْتَبِكُونَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. قَدِ ٱسْتَغْلَقَ عَلَيْهِمِ ٱلْقَفْرُ.٣
4 And I will harden Pharaohs heart that hee shall follow after you: so I will get mee honour vpon Pharaoh, and vpon all his hoste: the Egyptians also shall knowe that I am the Lord: and they did so.
وَأُشَدِّدُ قَلْبَ فِرْعَوْنَ حَتَّى يَسْعَى وَرَاءَهُمْ، فَأَتَمَجَّدُ بِفِرْعَوْنَ وَبِجَمِيعِ جَيْشِهِ، وَيَعْرِفُ ٱلْمِصْرِيُّونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ». فَفَعَلُوا هَكَذَا.٤
5 Then it was told the King of Egypt, that the people fled: and the heart of Pharaoh and of his seruants was turned against the people, and they sayde, Why haue we this done, and haue let Israel go out of our seruice?
فَلَمَّا أُخْبِرَ مَلِكُ مِصْرَ أَنَّ ٱلشَّعْبَ قَدْ هَرَبَ، تَغَيَّرَ قَلْبُ فِرْعَوْنَ وَعَبِيدِهِ عَلَى ٱلشَّعْبِ. فَقَالُوا: «مَاذَا فَعَلْنَا حَتَّى أَطْلَقْنَا إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ خِدْمَتِنَا؟»٥
6 And he made ready his charets, and tooke his people with him,
فَشَدَّ مَرْكَبَتَهُ وَأَخَذَ قَوْمَهُ مَعَهُ.٦
7 And tooke sixe hundreth chosen charets, and all the charets of Egypt, and captaines ouer euery one of them.
وَأَخَذَ سِتَّ مِئَةِ مَرْكَبَةٍ مُنْتَخَبَةٍ وَسَائِرَ مَرْكَبَاتِ مِصْرَ وَجُنُودًا مَرْكَبِيَّةً عَلَى جَمِيعِهَا.٧
8 (For the Lord had hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he followed after the children of Israel: but the children of Israel went out with an hie hand)
وَشَدَّدَ ٱلرَّبُّ قَلْبَ فِرْعَوْنَ مَلِكِ مِصْرَ حَتَّى سَعَى وَرَاءَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَبَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ خَارِجُونَ بِيَدٍ رَفِيعَةٍ.٨
9 And the Egyptians pursued after them, and all the horses and charets of Pharaoh, and his horsemen and his hoste ouertooke them camping by the Sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, before Baal-zephon.
فَسَعَى ٱلْمِصْرِيُّونَ وَرَاءَهُمْ وَأَدْرَكُوهُمْ. جَمِيعُ خَيْلِ مَرْكَبَاتِ فِرْعَوْنَ وَفُرْسَانِهِ وَجَيْشِهِ، وَهُمْ نَازِلُونَ عِنْدَ ٱلْبَحْرِ عِنْدَ فَمِ ٱلْحِيرُوثِ، أَمَامَ بَعْلَ صَفُونَ.٩
10 And when Pharaoh drew nie, the children of Israel lift vp their eyes, and beholde, the Egyptians marched after them, and they were sore afrayde: wherefore the children of Israel cried vnto the Lord.
فَلَمَّا ٱقْتَرَبَ فِرْعَوْنُ رَفَعَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ عُيُونَهُمْ، وَإِذَا ٱلْمِصْرِيُّونَ رَاحِلُونَ وَرَاءَهُمْ. فَفَزِعُوِا جِدًّا، وَصَرَخَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ.١٠
11 And they sayde vnto Moses, Hast thou brought vs to die in the wildernes, because there were no graues in Egypt? wherefore hast thou serued vs thus, to carie vs out of Egypt?
وَقَالُوا لِمُوسَى: «هَلْ لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَتْ قُبُورٌ فِي مِصْرَ أَخَذْتَنَا لِنَمُوتَ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ؟ مَاذَا صَنَعْتَ بِنَا حَتَّى أَخْرَجْتَنَا مِنْ مِصْرَ؟١١
12 Did not wee tell thee this thing in Egypt, saying, Let vs be in rest, that we may serue the Egyptians? for it had bene better for vs to serue the Egyptians, then that wee shoulde dye in the wildernesse.
أَلَيْسَ هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْكَلَامُ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمْنَاكَ بِهِ فِي مِصْرَ قَائِلِينَ: كُفَّ عَنَّا فَنَخْدِمَ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ؟ لِأَنَّهُ خَيْرٌ لَنَا أَنْ نَخْدِمَ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ مِنْ أَنْ نَمُوتَ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ».١٢
13 Then Moses sayde to the people, Feare ye not, stand still, and beholde the saluation of the Lord which he will shew to you this day. For the Egyptians, whome ye haue seene this day, ye shall neuer see them againe.
فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِلشَّعْبِ: «لَا تَخَافُوا. قِفُوا وَٱنْظُرُوا خَلَاصَ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي يَصْنَعُهُ لَكُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ. فَإِنَّهُ كَمَا رَأَيْتُمُ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ ٱلْيَوْمَ، لَا تَعُودُونَ تَرَوْنَهُمْ أَيْضًا إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.١٣
14 The Lord shall fight for you: therefore hold you your peace.
ٱلرَّبُّ يُقَاتِلُ عَنْكُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ تَصْمُتُونَ».١٤
15 And the Lord sayd vnto Moses, Wherefore cryest thou vnto me? speake vnto the children of Israel that they go forward:
فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «مَا لَكَ تَصْرُخُ إِلَيَّ؟ قُلْ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يَرْحَلُوا.١٥
16 And lift thou vp thy rod, and stretche out thine hand vpon the Sea and deuide it, and let the children of Israel goe on drie ground thorow the middes of the Sea.
وَٱرْفَعْ أَنْتَ عَصَاكَ وَمُدَّ يَدَكَ عَلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ وَشُقَّهُ، فَيَدْخُلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْبَحْرِ عَلَى ٱلْيَابِسَةِ.١٦
17 And I, beholde, I will harden the heart of the Egyptians, that they may follow them, and I wil get me honour vpon Pharaoh, and vpon all his host, vpon his charets, and vpon his horsemen.
وَهَا أَنَا أُشَدِّدُ قُلُوبَ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ حَتَّى يَدْخُلُوا وَرَاءَهُمْ، فَأَتَمَجَّدُ بِفِرْعَوْنَ وَكُلِّ جَيْشِهِ، بِمَرْكَبَاتِهِ وَفُرْسَانِهِ.١٧
18 Then the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I haue gotten me honour vpon Pharaoh, vpon his charets, and vpon his horsemen.
فَيَعْرِفُ ٱلْمِصْرِيُّونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ حِينَ أَتَمَجَّدُ بِفِرْعَوْنَ وَمَرْكَبَاتِهِ وَفُرْسَانِهِ».١٨
19 (And the Angel of God, which went before the hoste of Israel, remoued and went behinde them: also the pillar of the cloude went from before them, and stoode behinde them,
فَٱنْتَقَلَ مَلَاكُ ٱللهِ ٱلسَّائِرُ أَمَامَ عَسْكَرِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَسَارَ وَرَاءَهُمْ، وَٱنْتَقَلَ عَمُودُ ٱلسَّحَابِ مِنْ أَمَامِهِمْ وَوَقَفَ وَرَاءَهُمْ.١٩
20 And came betweene the campe of the Egyptians and the campe of Israel: it was both a cloude and darkenes, yet gaue it light by night, so that all the night long the one came not at the other)
فَدَخَلَ بَيْنَ عَسْكَرِ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ وَعَسْكَرِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَصَارَ ٱلسَّحَابُ وَٱلظَّلَامُ وَأَضَاءَ ٱللَّيْلَ. فَلَمْ يَقْتَرِبْ هَذَا إِلَى ذَاكَ كُلَّ ٱللَّيْلِ.٢٠
21 And Moses stretched forth his hande vpon the Sea, and the Lord caused the sea to runne backe by a strong East winde all the night, and made the Sea dry land: for the waters were deuided.
وَمَدَّ مُوسَى يَدَهُ عَلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ، فَأَجْرَى ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْبَحْرَ بِرِيحٍ شَرْقِيَّةٍ شَدِيدَةٍ كُلَّ ٱللَّيْلِ، وَجَعَلَ ٱلْبَحْرَ يَابِسَةً وَٱنْشَقَّ ٱلْمَاءُ.٢١
22 Then the children of Israel went through the middes of the Sea vpon the drie ground, and the waters were a wall vnto them on their right hand, and on their left hand.
فَدَخَلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْبَحْرِ عَلَى ٱلْيَابِسَةِ، وَٱلْمَاءُ سُورٌ لَهُمْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِمْ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِمْ.٢٢
23 And the Egyptians pursued and went after them to the middes of the Sea, euen all Pharaohs horses, his charets, and his horsemen.
وَتَبِعَهُمُ ٱلْمِصْرِيُّونَ وَدَخَلُوا وَرَاءَهُمْ. جَمِيعُ خَيْلِ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَرْكَبَاتِهِ وَفُرْسَانِهِ إِلَى وَسَطِ ٱلْبَحْرِ.٢٣
24 Nowe in the morning watche, when the Lord looked vnto the hoste of the Egyptians, out of the firie and cloudie pillar, he strooke the host of the Egyptians with feare.
وَكَانَ فِي هَزِيعِ ٱلصُّبْحِ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ أَشْرَفَ عَلَى عَسْكَرِ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ فِي عَمُودِ ٱلنَّارِ وَٱلسَّحَابِ، وَأَزْعَجَ عَسْكَرَ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ،٢٤
25 For he tooke off their charet wheeles, and they draue them with much a doe: so that the Egyptians euery one sayd, I wil flee from the face of Israel: for the Lord fighteth for them against the Egyptians.
وَخَلَعَ بَكَرَ مَرْكَبَاتِهِمْ حَتَّى سَاقُوهَا بِثَقْلَةٍ. فَقَالَ ٱلْمِصْرِيُّونَ: «نَهْرُبُ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يُقَاتِلُ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ عَنْهُمْ».٢٥
26 Then the Lord sayde to Moses, Stretche thine hand vpon the Sea, that the waters may returne vpon the Egyptians, vpon their charets and vpon their horsemen.
فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «مُدَّ يَدَكَ عَلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ لِيَرْجِعَ ٱلْمَاءُ عَلَى ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ، عَلَى مَرْكَبَاتِهِمْ وَفُرْسَانِهِمْ».٢٦
27 Then Moses stretched forth his hand vpon the Sea, and the Sea returned to his force early in the morning, and the Egyptians fled against it: but the Lord ouerthrew the Egyptians in the mids of the Sea.
فَمَدَّ مُوسَى يَدَهُ عَلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ فَرَجَعَ ٱلْبَحْرُ عِنْدَ إِقْبَالِ ٱلصُّبْحِ إِلَى حَالِهِ ٱلدَّائِمَةِ، وَٱلْمِصْرِيُّونَ هَارِبُونَ إِلَى لِقَائِهِ. فَدَفَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْبَحْرِ.٢٧
28 So the water returned and couered the charets and the horsemen, euen all the hoste of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them: there remained not one of them.
فَرَجَعَ ٱلْمَاءُ وَغَطَّى مَرْكَبَاتِ وَفُرْسَانَ جَمِيعِ جَيْشِ فِرْعَوْنَ ٱلَّذِي دَخَلَ وَرَاءَهُمْ فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ. لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْهُمْ وَلَا وَاحِدٌ.٢٨
29 But the children of Israel walked vpon dry land thorowe the middes of the Sea, and the waters were a wall vnto them on their right hande, and on their left.
وَأَمَّا بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فَمَشَوْا عَلَى ٱلْيَابِسَةِ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْبَحْرِ، وَٱلْمَاءُ سُورٌ لَهُمْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِمْ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِمْ.٢٩
30 Thus the Lord saued Israel the same day out of the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel sawe the Egyptians dead vpon the Sea banke.
فَخَلَّصَ ٱلرَّبُّ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ. وَنَظَرَ إِسْرَائِيلُ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ أَمْوَاتًا عَلَى شَاطِئِ ٱلْبَحْرِ.٣٠
31 And Israel saw the mightie power, which the Lord shewed vpon the Egyptians: so the people feared the Lord, and beleeued the Lord, and his seruant Moses.
وَرَأَى إِسْرَائِيلُ ٱلْفِعْلَ ٱلْعَظِيمَ ٱلَّذِي صَنَعَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ بِٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ، فَخَافَ ٱلشَّعْبُ ٱلرَّبَّ وَآمَنُوا بِٱلرَّبِّ وَبِعَبْدِهِ مُوسَى.٣١
