Exodus 5
1 Then afterwarde Moses and Aaron went and said to Pharaoh, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may celebrate a feast vnto me in the wildernesse.
| وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ دَخَلَ مُوسَى وَهَارُونُ وَقَالَا لِفِرْعَوْنَ: «هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: أَطْلِقْ شَعْبِي لِيُعَيِّدُوا لِي فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ». | ١ |
2 And Pharaoh saide, Who is the Lord, that I should heare his voyce, and let Israel go? I knowe not the Lord, neither will I let Israel goe.
| فَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ: «مَنْ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ حَتَّى أَسْمَعَ لِقَوْلِهِ فَأُطْلِقَ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ لَا أَعْرِفُ ٱلرَّبَّ، وَإِسْرَائِيلَ لَا أُطْلِقُهُ». | ٢ |
3 And they saide, We worship the God of the Ebrewes: we pray thee, let vs goe three daies iourney in the desert, and sacrifice vnto the Lord our God, least he bring vpon vs the pestilence or sword.
| فَقَالَا: «إِلَهُ ٱلْعِبْرَانِيِّينَ قَدِ ٱلْتَقَانَا، فَنَذْهَبُ سَفَرَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ وَنَذْبَحُ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا، لِئَلَّا يُصِيبَنَا بِٱلْوَبَإِ أَوْ بِٱلسَّيْفِ». | ٣ |
4 Then saide the King of Egypt vnto them, Moses and Aaron, why cause ye the people to cease from their workes? get you to your burdens.
| فَقَالَ لَهُمَا مَلِكُ مِصْرَ: «لِمَاذَا يَا مُوسَى وَهَارُونُ تُبَطِّلَانِ ٱلشَّعْبَ مِنْ أَعْمَالِهِ؟ اِذْهَبَا إِلَى أَثْقَالِكُمَا». | ٤ |
5 Pharaoh saide furthermore, Behold, much people is nowe in the lande, and ye make them leaue their burdens.
| وَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ: «هُوَذَا ٱلْآنَ شَعْبُ ٱلْأَرْضِ كَثِيرٌ وَأَنْتُمَا تُرِيحَانِهِمْ مِنْ أَثْقَالِهِمْ». | ٥ |
6 Therefore Pharaoh gaue commandement the same day vnto the taskemasters of the people, and to their officers, saying,
| فَأَمَرَ فِرْعَوْنُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ مُسَخِّرِي ٱلشَّعْبِ وَمُدَبِّرِيهِ قَائِلًا: | ٦ |
7 Ye shall giue the people no more strawe, to make bricke (as in time past) but let them goe and gather them strawe them selues:
| «لَا تَعُودُوا تُعْطُونَ ٱلشَّعْبَ تِبْنًا لِصُنْعِ ٱللِّبْنِ كَأَمْسِ وَأَوَّلَ مِنْ أَمْسِ. لِيَذْهَبُوا هُمْ وَيَجْمَعُوا تِبْنًا لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ. | ٧ |
8 Notwithstanding lay vpon them the nober of bricke, which they made in time past, diminish nothing thereof: for they be idle, therefore they crie, saying, Let vs go to offer sacrifice vnto our God.
| وَمِقْدَارَ ٱللِّبْنِ ٱلَّذِي كَانُوا يَصْنَعُونَهُ أَمْسِ، وَأَوَّلَ مِنْ أَمْسِ تَجْعَلُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ. لَا تَنْقُصُوا مِنْهُ، فَإِنَّهُمْ مُتَكَاسِلُونَ، لِذَلِكَ يَصْرُخُونَ قَائِلِينَ: نَذْهَبُ وَنَذْبَحُ لِإِلَهِنَا. | ٨ |
9 Lay more worke vpon the men, and cause them to do it, and let the not regard vaine words.
| لِيُثَقَّلِ ٱلْعَمَلُ عَلَى ٱلْقَوْمِ حَتَّى يَشْتَغِلُوا بِهِ وَلَا يَلْتَفِتُوا إِلَى كَلَامِ ٱلْكَذِبِ». | ٩ |
10 Then went the taskemasters of the people and their officers out, and tolde the people, saying, Thus saith Pharaoh, I will giue you no more strawe.
| فَخَرَجَ مُسَخِّرُو ٱلشَّعْبِ وَمُدَبِّرُوهُ وَكَلَّمُوا ٱلشَّعْبَ، قَائِلِينَ: «هَكَذَا يَقُولُ فِرْعَوْنُ: لَسْتُ أُعْطِيكُمْ تِبْنًا. | ١٠ |
11 Goe your selues, get you strawe where yee can finde it, yet shall nothing of your labour bee diminished.
| ٱذْهَبُوا أَنْتُمْ وَخُذُوا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ تِبْنًا مِنْ حَيْثُ تَجِدُونَ. إِنَّهُ لَا يُنْقَصُ مِنْ عَمَلِكُمْ شَيْءٌ». | ١١ |
12 Then were the people scattered abroade throughout all the land of Egypt, for to gather stubble in steade of strawe.
| فَتَفَرَّقَ ٱلشَّعْبُ فِي كُلِّ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ لِيَجْمَعُوا قَشًّا عِوَضًا عَنِ ٱلتِّبْنِ. | ١٢ |
13 And the taskemasters hasted them, saying, Finish your dayes worke euery dayes taske, as ye did when ye had strawe.
| وَكَانَ ٱلْمُسَخِّرُونَ يُعَجِّلُونَهُمْ قَائِلِينَ: «كَمِّلُوا أَعْمَالَكُمْ، أَمْرَ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ بِيَوْمِهِ، كَمَا كَانَ حِينَمَا كَانَ ٱلتِّبْنُ». | ١٣ |
14 And the officers of the children of Israel, which Pharaohs taskemasters had set ouer them, were beaten, and demanded, Wherefore haue ye not fulfilled your taske in making bricke yesterday and to daye, as in times past?
| فَضُرِبَ مُدَبِّرُو بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَقَامَهُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ مُسَخِّرُو فِرْعَوْنَ، وَقِيلَ لَهُمْ: «لِمَاذَا لَمْ تُكَمِّلُوا فَرِيضَتَكُمْ مِنْ صُنْعِ ٱللِّبْنِ أَمْسِ وَٱلْيَوْمَ كَٱلْأَمْسِ وَأَوَّلَ مِنْ أَمْسِ؟». | ١٤ |
15 Then the officers of the children of Israel came, and cryed vnto Pharaoh, saying, Wherfore dealest thou thus with thy seruants?
| فَأَتَى مُدَبِّرُو بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَصَرَخُوا إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ قَائِلِينَ: «لِمَاذَا تَفْعَلُ هَكَذَا بِعَبِيدِكَ؟ | ١٥ |
16 There is no strawe giuen to thy seruantes, and they say vnto vs, Make bricke: and loe, thy seruants are beaten, and thy people is blamed.
| اَلتِّبْنُ لَيْسَ يُعْطَى لِعَبِيدِكَ، وَٱللِّبْنُ يَقُولُونَ لَنَا: ٱصْنَعُوهُ! وَهُوَذَا عَبِيدُكَ مَضْرُوبُونَ، وَقَدْ أَخْطَأَ شَعْبُكَ». | ١٦ |
17 But he said, Ye are to much idle: therfore ye say, Let vs goe to offer sacrifice to the Lord.
| فَقَالَ: «مُتَكَاسِلُونَ أَنْتُمْ، مُتَكَاسِلُونَ! لِذَلِكَ تَقُولُونَ: نَذْهَبُ وَنَذْبَحُ لِلرَّبِّ. | ١٧ |
18 Goe therefore nowe and worke: for there shall no strawe be giuen you, yet shall yee deliuer the whole tale of bricke.
| فَٱلْآنَ ٱذْهَبُوا ٱعْمَلُوا. وَتِبْنٌ لَا يُعْطَى لَكُمْ وَمِقْدَارَ ٱللِّبْنِ تُقَدِّمُونَهُ». | ١٨ |
19 Then the officers of the children of Israel sawe them selues in an euill case, because it was saide, Ye shall diminish nothing of your bricke, nor of euery dayes taske.
| فَرَأَى مُدَبِّرُو بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ فِي بَلِيَّةٍ إِذْ قِيلَ لَهُمْ لَا تُنَقِّصُوا مِنْ لِبْنِكُمْ أَمْرَ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ بِيَوْمِهِ. | ١٩ |
20 And they met Moses and Aaron, which stood in their way as they came out from Pharaoh,
| وَصَادَفُوا مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ وَاقِفَيْنِ لِلِقَائِهِمْ حِينَ خَرَجُوا مِنْ لَدُنْ فِرْعَوْنَ. | ٢٠ |
21 To whom they said, The Lord looke vpon you and iudge: for yee haue made our sauour to stinke before Pharaoh and before his seruants, in that ye haue put a sword in their hand to slay vs.
| فَقَالُوا لَهُمَا: «يَنْظُرُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَيْكُمَا وَيَقْضِي، لِأَنَّكُمَا أَنْتَنْتُمَا رَائِحَتَنَا فِي عَيْنَيْ فِرْعَوْنَ وَفِي عُيُونِ عَبِيدِهِ حَتَّى تُعْطِيَا سَيْفًا فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ لِيَقْتُلُونَا». | ٢١ |
22 Wherefore Moses returned to the Lord, and saide, Lord, why hast thou afflicted this people? wherefore hast thou thus sent me?
| فَرَجَعَ مُوسَى إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ وَقَالَ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، لِمَاذَا أَسَأْتَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ؟ لِمَاذَا أَرْسَلْتَنِي؟ | ٢٢ |
23 For since I came to Pharaoh to speake in thy Name, he hath vexed this people, and yet thou hast not deliuered thy people.
| فَإِنَّهُ مُنْذُ دَخَلْتُ إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ لِأَتَكَلَّمَ بِٱسْمِكَ، أَسَاءَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ. وَأَنْتَ لَمْ تُخَلِّصْ شَعْبَكَ». | ٢٣ |
