Exodus 14
1 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
| وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: | ١ |
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn back and encamp before Pi-hachiroth, between Migdol and the sea; in front of Baal-zephon; opposite to this shall ye encamp by the sea.
| «قُلْ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يَرْجِعُوا وَيَتَجَمَّعُوا مُقَابِلَ فَمِ الْحِيرُوثِ بَيْنَ مَجْدَلَ وَالْبَحْرِ أَمَامَ بَعْلَ صَفُونَ مُبَاشَرَةً تُخَيِّمَونَ عِنْدَ الْبَحْرِ، | ٢ |
3 And Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in.
| فَيَظُنُّ فِرْعَوْنُ أَنَّكُمْ هَائِمُونَ فِي الأَرْضِ عَلَى غَيْرِ هُدىً، وَقَدِ اسْتَغْلَقَتْ عَلَيْكُمُ الصَّحْرَاءُ، | ٣ |
4 And I will harden the heart of Pharaoh, that he shall follow after them; and I will get myself honor on Pharaoh, and on all his host; and the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord; and they did so.
| فَأُقَسِّي قَلْبَ فِرْعَوْنَ حَتَّى يَسْعَى وَرَاءَكُمْ فَأَتَعَظَّمُ آنَئِذٍ (بِالقَضَاءِ) عَلَى فِرْعَوْنَ وَعَلَى جَيْشِهِ، وَيَعْرِفُ الْمِصْرِيُّونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ». وَهَكَذَا فَعَلَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ. | ٤ |
5 And it was told to the king of Egypt that the people had fled; and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was changed with respect to the people, and they said, What is this which we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?
| وَقِيلَ لِمَلِكِ مِصْرَ: «هُوَذا الشَّعْبُ قَدْ هَرَبَ». فَتَحَوَّلَ قَلْبُ فِرْعَوْنَ وَقُلُوبُ حَاشِيَتِهِ ضِدَّهُمْ، وَقَالُوا: «مَاذَا دَهَانَا حَتَّى أَطْلَقْنَا إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ خِدْمَتِنَا؟» | ٥ |
6 And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him.
| فَأَعَدَّ مَرْكَبَتَهُ وَاصْطَحَبَ جَيْشَهُ مَعَهُ، | ٦ |
7 And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them.
| فَأَعَدَّ سِتَّ مِئَةِ مَرْكَبَةٍ وَسَائِرَ مَرْكَبَاتِ مِصْرَ، وَحَمَلَ عَلَيْهَا قَادَةَ سِلاحِ الْمَرْكَبَاتِ. | ٧ |
8 And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel; and the children of Israel went out with a high hand.
| وَقَسَّى الرَّبُّ قَلْبَ فِرْعَوْنَ مَلِكِ مِصْرَ، فَطَارَدَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّذِينَ غَادَرُوا مِصْرَ بِقُدْرَةٍ ظَاهِرَةٍ. | ٨ |
9 And the Egyptians pursued after them, and they overtook them encamping by the sea, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, beside Pi-hachiroth, before Baal-zephon.
| وَسَعَى الْمِصْرِيُّونَ وَرَاءَهُمْ بِجَمِيعِ خَيْلِ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَرْكَبَاتِهِ وَفُرْسَانِهِ وَجُيُوشِهِ، فَأَدْرَكُوهُمْ وَهُمْ مُتَجَمِّعُونَ عِنْدَ الْبَحْرِ بالقُرْبِ مِنْ فَمِ الْحِيروثِ مُقَابِلَ بَعْلَ صَفُونَ. | ٩ |
10 And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians were marching after them, and they were greatly afraid; and the children of Israel cried out unto the Lord.
| وَلَمَّا اقْتَرَبَ فِرْعَوْنُ، نَظَرَ بَنُو إسْرَائِيلَ، وَإذَا بِالْمِصْرِيِّينَ يَنْدَفِعُونَ نَحْوَهُمْ، فَارْتَعَبُوا وَاسْتَغَاثُوا بِالرَّبِّ، | ١٠ |
11 And they said unto Moses, Is it because there were no graves in Egypt, that thou hast taken us away to die in the wilderness? what is this which thou hast done to us, to bring us forth out of Egypt?
| ثُمَّ قَالُوا لَمُوسَى: «هَلْ لِافْتِقَارِ مِصْرَ لِلْقُبُورِ أَخْرَجْتَنَا إِلَى الصَّحْرَاءِ لِنَمُوتَ فِيهَا؟ مَاذَا فَعَلْتَ بِنَا حَتَّى أَخْرَجْتَنَا مِنْ مِصْرَ؟ | ١١ |
12 Is not this the word that we spoke unto thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? for it is better for us to serve the Egyptians than that we should die in the wilderness.
| أَلَمْ نَقُلْ لَكَ فِي مِصْرَ: دَعْنَا وَشَأْنَنَا فَنَخْدُمَ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ، إذْ كَانَ خَيْراً لَنَا أَنْ نَخْدُمَ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ مِنْ أَنْ نَمُوتَ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ». | ١٢ |
13 And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will do for you today; for as ye have seen the Egyptians today, ye shall not see them again any more for ever.
| فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِلشَّعْبِ: «لا تَخَافُوا. قِفُوا وَانْظُرُوا خَلاصَ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي يُجْرِيهِ لَكُمُ الْيَوْمَ، لأَنَّ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ رَأَيْتُمُوهُمُ الْيَوْمَ، لَنْ تَرَوْهُمْ فِيمَا بَعْدُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. | ١٣ |
14 The Lord will fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
| فَالرَّبُّ يُحَارِبُ عَنْكُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ تَصْمُتُونَ». | ١٤ |
15 And the Lord said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward;
| وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لمُوسَى: «مَا بَالُكَ تَسْتَغِيثُ بِي؟ قُلْ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يَرْحَلُوا. | ١٥ |
16 But do thou lift up thy staff, and stretch out thy hand over the sea, and divide it; and the children of Israel shall go through the midst of the sea on dry ground.
| ارْفَعْ عَصَاكَ وَابْسُطْ يَدَكَ فَوْقَ الْبَحْرِ وَشُقَّهُ، فَيَجْتَازَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي وَسْطِ الْبَحْرِ عَلَى الْيَابِسَةِ. | ١٦ |
17 And I, behold, I will harden the heart of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will get myself honor on Pharaoh, and on all his host, on his chariots, and on his horsemen.
| فَهَا أَنَا أُغْلِظُ قُلُوبَ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ فَيَسْعَوْنَ وَرَاءَكُمْ، فَأَتَعَظَّمُ (بِالقَضَاءِ) عَلَى فِرْعَوْنَ وَعَلَى مَرْكَبَاتِهِ وَفُرْسَانِهِ، | ١٧ |
18 And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I have got myself honor on Pharaoh, on his chariots, and on his horsemen.
| فَيُدْرِكُ الْمِصْرِيُّونَ أَنَّنِي أَنَا الرَّبُّ، عِنْدَمَا أَتَعَظَّمُ (بِالقَضَاءِ) عَلَى فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَرْكَبَاتِهِ وَفُرْسَانِهِ». | ١٨ |
19 And the angel of God, that went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud removed from before them, and stood behind them;
| وَانْتَقَلَ مَلاكُ اللهِ الَّذِي كَانَ يَتَقَدَّمُ عَسْكَرَ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى الْمُؤَخَّرَةِ خَلْفَهُمْ، وَكَذَلِكَ انْتَقَلَ عَمُودُ السَّحَابِ مِنْ أَمَامِهِمْ وَوَقَفَ وَرَاءَهُمْ. | ١٩ |
20 And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness [to the first], but it gave light by night [to these]: and the one came not near unto the other all the night.
| فَدَخَلَ بَيْنَ عَسْكَرِ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ وَعَسْكَرِ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ، وَصَارَ عَمُودُ السَّحَابِ ظَلاماً قَاتِماً عَلَى الْمِصْرِيِّينَ، وَضِيَاءً عَلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَلَمْ يَقْتَرِبْ أَحَدُهُمَا مِنَ الآخَرِ طَوَالَ اللَّيْلِ. | ٢٠ |
21 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord drove back the sea with a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.
| وَبَسَطَ مُوسَى يَدَهُ فَوْقَ الْبَحْرِ، فَأَرْسَلَ الرَّبُّ طَوَالَ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ رِيحاً شَرْقِيَّةً قَوِيَّةً رَدَّتِ الْبَحْرَ إِلَى الْوَرَاءِ، وَحَوَّلَتْهُ إِلَى يَابِسَةٍ. وَهَكَذَا انْشَقَّ الْبَحْرُ، | ٢١ |
22 And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them, on their right hand, and on their left.
| فَاجْتَازَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ فِي وَسْطِ الْبَحْرِ عَلَى أَرْضٍ يَابِسَةٍ، فَكَانَ الْمَاءُ بِمَثَابَةِ سُورَيْنِ عَنْ يَمِينِهِمْ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِمْ. | ٢٢ |
23 And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them, all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen, to the midst of the sea.
| وَلَحِقَ بِهِمِ الْمِصْرِيُّونَ وَدَخَلُوا وَرَاءَهُمْ إِلَى وَسْطِ الْبَحْرِ، بِجَمِيعِ خَيْلِ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَرْكَبَاتِهِ وَفُرْسَانِهِ. | ٢٣ |
24 And it came to pass in the morning watch, that the Lord looked unto the camp of the Egyptians with the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and brought into confusion the camp of the Egyptians;
| وَقَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الصَّبَاحِ أَشْرَفَ الرَّبُّ فِي عَمُودِ النَّارِ وَالسَّحَابِ عَلَى عَسْكَرِ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ وَأَرْبَكَهُمْ. | ٢٤ |
25 And he took off the wheels of their chariots, and caused them to move onward with difficulty; and the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the Lord fighteth for them against the Egyptians.
| فَجَعَلَ عَجَلاتِ مَرْكَبَاتِهِمْ تَتَخَلَّعُ. فَطَفِقُوا يَجُرُّونَهَا بِمَشَقَّةٍ حَتَّى قَالَ الْمِصْرِيُّونَ: «لِنَهْرُبْ مِنَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يُحَارِبُ عَنْهُمْ ضِدَّنَا». | ٢٥ |
26 And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thy hand over the sea, and the waters shall return over the Egyptians, over their chariots, and over their horsemen.
| وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «ابْسُطْ يَدَكَ فَوْقَ الْبَحْرِ لِيَرْتَدَّ الْمَاءُ عَلَى الْمِصْرِيِّينَ مَعَ مَرْكَبَاتِهِمْ وَفُرْسَانِهِمْ». | ٢٦ |
27 And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned, when the morning appeared, to its strength; while the Egyptians were fleeing against it; and the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
| فَبَسَطَ مُوسَى يَدَهُ فَوْقَ البَحْرِ عِنْدَ انْبِثَاقِ الصَّبَاحِ، فَارْتَدَّ الْبَحْرُ إِلَى مَوْضِعِهِ عَلَى الْمِصْرِيِّينَ الْهَارِبِينَ فِي اتِّجَاهِهِ، فَجَرَفَهُمُ الرَّبُّ نَحْوَ وَسْطِ الْبَحْرِ. | ٢٧ |
28 And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen with all the host of Pharaoh that came after them into the sea: there remained of them not even one.
| وَارْتَدَّتِ الْمِيَاهُ وَأَغْرَقَتِ الْمَرْكَبَاتِ وَالْفُرْسَانَ وَكُلَّ جَيْشِ فِرْعَوْنَ الَّذِي لَحِقَ بِهِمْ إِلَى الْبَحْرِ، فَلَمْ يَفْلِتْ مِنْهُمْ نَاجٍ وَاحِدٌ. | ٢٨ |
29 But the children of Israel walked upon dry ground in the midst of the sea; and the waters were unto them a wall on their right hand, and on their left.
| أَمَّا بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فَقَدْ سَارُوا فَوْقَ أَرْضٍ يَابِسَةٍ وَسْطَ مِيَاهِ الْبَحْرِ. وَكَانَتِ الْمِيَاهُ كَسُورَيْنِ عَنْ يَمِينِهِمْ وَعَنْ شِمَالِهِمْ. | ٢٩ |
30 Thus the Lord saved Israel on that day out of the land of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the shore of the sea.
| وَهَكَذَا أَنْقَذَ الرَّبُّ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ مِنْ يَدِ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ، وَشَاهَدُوا جُثَثَ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ مَطْرُوحَةً عَلَى شَاطِئِ الْبَحْرِ. | ٣٠ |
31 And Israel saw that great power which the Lord had shown on the Egyptians: and the people feared the Lord, and then believed in the Lord, and in Moses his servant.
| وَعِنْدَمَا شَهِدَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ الْقُوَّةَ الْعَظِيمَةَ الَّتِي عَامَلَ بِها الرَّبُّ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ، خَافَ الشَّعْبُ الرَّبَّ وَآمَنُوا بِهِ وَبِمُوسَى عَبْدِهِ. | ٣١ |
