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 ذَهَبَ مُوسَى وَهَرُونُ وَقَالا لِفِرْعَوْنَ: «هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: أَطْلِقْ شَعْبِي لِيَحْتَفِلَ لِي فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ». | 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 الرَّبُّ حَتَّى أُطِيعَ أَمْرَهُ وَأُطْلِقَ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ أَنَا لَا أَعْرِفُ الرَّبَّ وَلَنْ أُطْلِقَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ». | 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.
| ثُمَّ قَالا: «إِنَّ إِلَهَ الْعِبْرَانِيِّينَ قَدِ الْتَقَانَا، فَدَعْنَا نَذْهَبُ مَسِيرَةَ ثَلاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ لِنُقَدِّمَ ذَبَائِحَ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا لِئَلّا يُعَاقِبَنَا بِوَبَأٍ أَوْ سَيْفٍ». | 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: «يَا مُوسَى وَهَرُونُ، لِمَاذَا تُعَطِّلانِ الشَّعْبَ عَنْ أَعْمَالِهِ؟ ارْجِعُوا إِلَى أَعْمَالِكُمُ الشَّاقَةِ». | ٤ |
5 Pharaoh saide furthermore, Behold, much people is nowe in the lande, and ye make them leaue their burdens.
| ثُمَّ قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ: «هُوَذَا شَعْبُ الأَرْضِ قَدْ كَثُرَ الآنَ، وَأَنْتُمَا تُرِيدَانِ أَنْ تُرِيحَاهُمْ مِنَ الأَعْمَالِ الشَّاقَةِ». | ٥ |
6 Therefore Pharaoh gaue commandement the same day vnto the taskemasters of the people, and to their officers, saying,
| فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ أَمَرَ فِرْعَوْنُ الْقَائِمِينَ عَلَى تَسْخِيرِ الشَّعْبِ وَرُؤَسَاءَ الْعُمَّالِ قَائِلاً: | 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:
| «كُفُّوا عَنْ إِعْطَاءِ الشَّعْبِ تِبْناً لِصُنْعِ اللِّبْنِ كَمَا كُنْتُمْ تَفْعَلُونَ سَابِقاً، وَلْيَذْهَبُوا هُمْ وَيَجْمَعُوا تِبْناً لأَنْفُسِهِمْ. | 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.
| وَطَالِبُوهُمْ بِإِنْتَاجِ نَفْسِ كَمِّيَّةِ اللِّبْنِ السَّابِقَةِ. لَا تُنْقِصُوهَا فَإِنَّهُمْ كُسَالَى، لِذَلِكَ يَصْرُخُونَ قَائِلِينَ: دَعْنَا نَذْهَبُ وَنَذْبَحُ لإِلَهِنَا. | ٨ |
9 Lay more worke vpon the men, and cause them to do it, and let the not regard vaine words.
| ثَقِّلُوا الْعَمَلَ عَلَى كَوَاهِلِ الْقَوْمِ حَتَّى يَشْتَغِلُوا بِهِ وَلا يَلْتَفِتُوا إِلَى الأَقْوَالِ الْكَاذِبَةِ». | 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 الشَّعْبِ وَرُؤَسَاءُ الْعُمَّالِ وَخَاطَبُوا الشَّعْبَ قَائِلِينَ: «هَكَذَا يَقُولُ فِرْعَوْنُ: لَنْ أُعْطِيَكُمْ تِبْناً. | ١٠ |
11 Goe your selues, get you strawe where yee can finde it, yet shall nothing of your labour bee diminished.
| اذْهَبُوا أَنْتُمْ وَاجْمَعُوا لأَنْفُسِكُمْ تِبْناً حَيْثُ تَجِدُونَهُ عَلَى أَلّا يَنْقُصَ إِنْتَاجُكُمْ». | ١١ |
12 Then were the people scattered abroade throughout all the land of Egypt, for to gather stubble in steade of strawe.
| فَتَفَرَّقَ الشَّعْبُ فِي كُلِّ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ لِيَجْمَعُوا قَشّاً بَدَلاً مِنَ التِّبْنِ. | ١٢ |
13 And the taskemasters hasted them, saying, Finish your dayes worke euery dayes taske, as ye did when ye had strawe.
| وَكَانَ الْمُسَخِّرُونَ يَلِحُّونَ عَلَيْهِمْ قَائِلِينَ: «أَوْفُوا أَعْمَالَكُمْ، إِنْتَاجَ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ بِيَوْمِهِ كَمَا كَانَ الْحَالُ حِينَ تَوَافَرَ التِّبْنُ». | 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?
| وَجَلَدَ مُسَخِّرُو فِرْعَوْنَ رْؤَسَاءَ الْعُمَّالِ الَّذِينَ أَقَامُوهُمْ عَلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلِينَ لَهُمْ: «لِمَاذَا لَمْ تُوْفُوا قِسْطَكُمْ مِنْ إِنْتَاجِ اللِّبْنِ أَمْسِ وَالْيَوْمَ كَمَا كُنْتُمْ تَفْعَلُونَ سَابِقاً؟» | ١٤ |
15 Then the officers of the children of Israel came, and cryed vnto Pharaoh, saying, Wherfore dealest thou thus with thy seruants?
| فَأَقْبَلَ رُؤَسَاءُ عُمَّالِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَتَوَسَّلُوا 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.
| إِنَّ عَبِيدَكَ لَا يَحْصُلُونَ عَلَى التِّبْنِ، وَمُطَالَبُونَ بِكَمِّيَّةِ اللِّبْنِ نَفْسِهَا، وَيُجْلَدُ عَبِيْدُكَ أَيْضاً. وَلَكِنَّ الذَّنْبَ هُوَ ذَنْبُ شَعْبِكَ». | ١٦ |
17 But he said, Ye are to much idle: therfore ye say, Let vs goe to offer sacrifice to the Lord.
| غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «أَنْتُمْ كُسَالَى، لِذَلِكَ تَقُولُونَ: دَعْنَا نَذْهَبُ لِنَذْبَحَ 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.
| هَيَّا اذْهَبُوا وَاعْمَلُوا، فَالتِّبْنُ لَنْ يُعْطَى لَكُمْ، وَعَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ تُنْتِجُوا كَامِلَ كَمِّيَّةِ اللِّبْنِ نَفْسِهَا». | 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.
| فَوَجَدَ رُؤَسَاءُ عُمَّالِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ فِي وَرْطَةٍ سَيِّئَةٍ بَعْدَ أَنْ قِيلَ لَهُمْ أَنْتِجُوا مِنْ لِبْنِكُمْ فَرِيضَةَ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ بِيَوْمِهِ. لَا تُنْقِصُوا مِنْهَا شَيْئاً | ١٩ |
20 And they met Moses and Aaron, which stood in their way as they came out from Pharaoh,
| وَصَادَفُوا مُوسَى وَهَرُونَ وَهُمَا وَاقِفَانِ فِي انْتِظَارِهِمْ عِنْدَ خُروجِهِمْ 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: «لِيَنْظُرْ إِلَيْكُمَا الرَّبُّ وَيَقْضِ. لَقَدْ كَرَّهْتُمَا فِينَا فِرْعَوْنَ وَحَاشِيَتَهُ، وَأَعْطَيْتُمَاهُمْ سَيْفاً 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 الرَّبِّ وَقَالَ: «لِمَاذَا أَسَأْتَ إِلَى شَعْبِكَ يَا رَبُّ؟ 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.
| فَمُنْذُ أَنْ جِئْتُ لأُخَاطِبَ فِرْعَوْنَ بِاسْمِكَ، أَسَاءَ إِلَى الشَّعْبِ، وَأَنْتَ لَمْ تُخَلِّصْ شَعْبَكَ عَلَى الإِطْلاقِ». | ٢٣ |
