< Exodus 19 >

1 And in the third month of the departure of the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, on the same day, they came into the wilderness of Sina.
وَفِي تَمَامِ الشَّهْرِ الثَّالِثِ مِنْ خُرُوجِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ وَصَلُوا إِلَى بَرِّيَّةِ سِينَاءَ.١
2 And they departed from Raphidin, and came into the wilderness of Sina, and there Israel encamped before the mountain.
فَقَدِ ارْتَحَلَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ مِنْ رَفِيدِيمَ إِلَى أَنْ جَاءُوا إِلَى بَرِّيَّةِ سِينَاءَ، فَنَزَلُوا مُقَابِلَ الْجَبَلِ.٢
3 And Moses went up to the mount of God, and God called him out of the mountain, saying, These things shall you say to the house of Jacob, and you shall report them to the children of Israel.
فَصَعِدَ مُوسَى لِلْمُثُولِ أَمَامَ اللهِ. فَنَادَاهُ الرَّبُّ مِنَ الجَبَلِ: «هَكَذَا تَقُولُ لِآلِ يَعْقُوبَ، وَتُخْبِرُ شَعْبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ:٣
4 You have seen all that I have done to the Egyptians, and I took you up as upon eagles' wings, and I brought you near to myself.
لَقَدْ عَايَنْتُمْ بِأَنْفُسِكُمْ مَا أَجْرَيْتُهُ عَلَى مِصْرَ، وَكَيْفَ حَمَلْتُكُمْ عَلَى أَجْنِحَةِ النُّسُورِ وَجِئْتُ بِكُمْ إِلَيَّ.٤
5 And now if you will indeed hear my voice, and keep my covenant, you shall be to me a peculiar people above all nations; for the whole earth is mine.
لِذَلِكَ إنْ أَطَعْتُمْ عَهْدِي، تَكُونُوا لِي مِلْكاً خَاصّاً مِنْ بَيْنِ جَمِيعِ الشُّعُوبِ، لأَنَّ لِي كُلَّ الأَرْضِ.٥
6 And you shall be to me a royal priesthood and a holy nation: these words shall you speak to the children of Israel.
وَتَكُونُوا لِي مَمْلَكَةَ كَهَنَةٍ وَأُمَّةً مُقَدَّسَةً. هَذَا هُوَ الْكَلامُ الَّذِي تُخَاطِبُ بِهِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ».٦
7 And Moses came and called the elders of the people, and he set before them all these words, which God appointed them.
فَاسْتَدْعَى مُوسَى شُيُوخَ الشَّعْبِ وَتَلا أَمَامَهُمْ جَمِيعَ هَذَا الْكَلامِ الَّذِي أَوْصَاهُ بِهِ الرَّبُّ.٧
8 And all the people answered with one accord, and said, All things that God has spoken, we will do and listen to: and Moses reported these words to God.
فَقَالَ كُلُّ الشَّعْبِ مَعاً: «كُلُّ مَا نَطَقَ بِهِ الرَّبُّ نَعْمَلُ». فَحَمَلَ مُوسَى جَوَابَهُمْ إِلَى الرَّبِّ.٨
9 And the Lord said to Moses, Behold! I come to you in a pillar of a cloud, that the people may hear me speaking to you, and may believe you for ever: and Moses reported the words of the people to the Lord.
فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «هَا أَنَا مُقْبِلٌ عَلَيْكَ فِي هَيْئَةِ سَحَابٍ مُظْلِمٍ، فَيَسْمَعُنِي الشَّعْبُ حِينَمَا أُخَاطِبُكَ، فَيَثِقُونَ أَيْضاً بِكَ دَائِماً». وَنَقَلَ مُوسَى إِلَى الرَّبِّ كَلامَ الشَّعْبِ.٩
10 And the Lord said to Moses, Go down and solemnly charge the people, and sanctify them today and to-morrow, and let them wash their garments.
وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «انْزِلْ إِلَى الشَّعْبِ وَقَدِّسْهُمُ الْيَوْمَ وَغَداً، وَدَعْهُمْ يَغْسِلُونَ ثِيَابَهُمْ،١٠
11 And let them be ready against the third day, for on the third day the Lord will descend upon mount Sina before all the people.
لِيَكُونُوا مُتَأَهِّبِينَ لِلْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ، لأَنَّهُ فِي اليَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ أَنْزِلُ أَمَامَ جَمِيعِ الشَّعْبِ عَلَى جَبَلِ سِينَاءَ.١١
12 And you shall separate the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves that you go not up into the mountain, nor touch any part of it: every one that touches the mountain shall surely die.
وَأَقِمْ حُدُوداً حَوْلَ الْجَبَلِ لَا يَتَخَطَّاهَا الشَّعْبُ. وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: حَذَارِ مِنْ أَنْ تَصْعَدُوا إِلَى الْجَبَلِ، أَوْ تَمَسُّوا طَرَفَهُ، فَكُلُّ مَنَ يَمَسُّ الْجَبَلَ حَتْماً يُقْتَلُ.١٢
13 A hand shall not touch it, for [every one that touches] shall be stoned with stones or shot through with a dart, whether beast or whether man, it shall not live: when the voices and trumpets and cloud depart from off the mountain, they shall come up on the mountain.
لَا تَمَسُّهُ يَدٌ، بَلْ يُرْجَمُ رَجْماً أَوْ يُرْمَى بِالسِّهَامِ، سَوَاءَ أَكَانَ بَهِيمَةً أَمْ إِنْسَاناً. لَا يُبْقَى عَلَيْهِ. أَمَّا عِنْدَمَا يَتَرَدَّدُ صَوْتُ بُوقٍ طَوِيلٍ، فَعِنْدَئِذٍ فَقَطْ يَصْعَدُونَ إِلَى الْجَبَلِ».١٣
14 And Moses went down from the mountain to the people, and sanctified them, and they washed their clothes.
وَبَعْدَ أَنِ انْحَدَرَ مُوسَى مِنَ الْجَبَلِ إِلَى الشَّعْبِ قَدَّسَهُمْ وَغَسَلُوا ثِيَابَهُمْ،١٤
15 And he said to the people, Be ready: for three days come not near to a woman.
وَقَالَ لِلشَّعْبِ: «كُونُوا مُتَأَهِّبِينَ لِلْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ، وَامْتَنِعُوا عَنْ مُعَاشَرَةِ نِسَائِكُمْ».١٥
16 And it came to pass on the third day, as the morning drew near, there were voices and lightnings and a dark cloud on mount Sina: the voice of the trumpet sounded loud, and all the people in the camp trembled.
وَفِي صَبَاحِ الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ حَدَثَتْ رُعُودٌ وَبُرُوقٌ، وَخَيَّمَ سَحَابٌ كَثِيفٌ عَلَى الْجَبَلِ، وَدَوَّى صَوْتُ بُوقٍ قَوِيٌّ جِدّاً، فَارْتَعَدَ كُلُّ الشَّعْبِ الَّذِي فِي المُخَيَّمِ،١٦
17 And Moses led the people forth out of the camp to meet God, and they stood by under the camp.
فَأَخْرَجَ مُوسَى الشَّعْبَ مِنَ المُخَيَّمِ لِلِقَاءِ اللهِ، فَوَقَفُوا عِنْدَ سَفْحِ الجَبَلِ.١٧
18 The mount of Sina was altogether on a smoke, because God had descended upon it in fire; and the smoke went up as the smoke of a furnace, and the people were exceedingly amazed.
وَكَانَ جَبَلُ سِينَاءَ كُلُّهُ مُغَطَّى بِدُخَانٍ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ نَزَلَ عَلَيْهِ فِي هَيْئَةِ نَارٍ. وَتَصَاعَدَ دُخَانُهُ كَدُخَانِ الأَتُونِ، وَاهْتَزَّ الجَبَلُ كُلُّهُ بِعُنْفٍ.١٨
19 And the sounds of the trumpet were waxing very much louder. Moses spoke, and God answered him with a voice.
وَازْدَادَ دَوِيُّ الْبُوقِ أَكْثَرَ فِيمَا كَانَ مُوسَى يَتَكَلَّمُ، وَالرَّبُّ يُجِيبُهُ بِرَعْدٍ.١٩
20 And the Lord came down upon mount Sina on the top of the mountain; and the Lord called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.
وَنَزَلَ الرَّبُّ عَلَى قِمَّةِ جَبَلِ سِينَاءَ، وَنَادَى مُوسَى لِيَصْعَدَ إِلَى قِمَّةِ الجَبَلِ، فَصَعِدَ إِلَيْهِ.٢٠
21 And God spoke to Moses, saying, Go down, and solemnly charge the people, lest at any time they draw near to God to gaze, and a multitude of them fall.
فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّبُّ: «انْزِلْ وَحَذِّرِ الشَّعْبَ لِئَلّا يَقْتَحِمُوا الجَبَلَ لِيَرَونِي فَيَهْلِكَ مِنْهُمْ كَثِيرُونَ.٢١
22 And let the priests that draw near to the Lord God sanctify themselves, destroy some of them.
وَلْيَتَقَدَّسْ أَيْضاً الْكَهَنَةُ الَّذِينَ يَقْتَرِبُونَ إِلَيَّ لِئَلّا أَبْطُشَ بِهِمْ».٢٢
23 And Moses said to God, The people will not be able to approach to the mount of Sina, for you have solemnly charged us, saying, Set bounds to the mountain and sanctify it.
فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِلرَّبِّ: «لا يَقْدِرُ الشَّعْبُ أَنْ يَصْعَدَ إِلَى جَبَلِ سِينَاءَ، لأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ قَدْ حَذَّرْتَنَا قَائِلاً: أَقِمْ حُدُوداً حَوْلَ الجَبَلِ وَقَدِّسْهُ».٢٣
24 And the Lord said to him, Go, descend, and come up you and Aaron with you; but let not the priests and the people force their way to come up to God, lest the Lord destroy some of them.
فَأَجَابَ الرَّبُّ: «انْزِلْ وَاصْعَدْ بِأَخِيكَ هَرُونَ مَعَكَ، أَمَّا الكَهَنَةُ وَالشَّعْبُ فَلا يَقْتَحِمُوا طَرِيقَهُمْ لِيَصْعَدُوا إِلَيَّ لِئَلّا أَبْطُشَ بِهِمْ».٢٤
25 And Moses went down to the people, and spoke to them.
فَانْحَدَرَ مُوسَى إِلَى الشَّعْبِ وَأَنْذَرَهُمْ.٢٥
