Exodus 9
1 And YHWH says to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh, and you have spoken to him, Thus said YHWH, God of the Hebrews: Send My people away, and they serve Me,
| ثُمَّ قَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «امْضِ إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ وَقُلْ لَهُ: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ إِلَهُ الْعِبْرَانِيِّينَ أَطْلِقْ شَعْبِي لِيَعْبُدَنِي. | ١ |
2 for if you are refusing to send [them] away, and are still keeping hold on them,
| لأَنَّكَ إنْ أَبَيْتَ أَنْ تُطْلِقَهُمْ وَحَجَزْتَهُمْ لَدَيْكَ، | ٢ |
3 behold, the hand of YHWH is on your livestock which [are] in the field, on horses, on donkeys, on camels, on herd, and on flock—a very grievous pestilence.
| فَإِنَّ يَدَ الرَّبِّ سَتُهْلِكُ مَوَاشِيكَ الَّتِي فِي الْحُقُولِ، وَالْخُيُولَ، وَالْحَمِيرَ وَالجِّمَالَ وَالْثِّيرَانَ وَالْغَنَمَ، بِوَبَأٍ شَدِيدٍ جِدّاً. | ٣ |
4 And YHWH has separated between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt, and there does not die a thing of all the sons of Israel;
| وَأُمَيِّزُ بَيْنَ مَوَاشِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَمَوَاشِي الْمِصْرِيِّينَ. فَلا يَهْلِكُ شَيْءٌ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ». | ٤ |
5 and YHWH sets an appointed time, saying, Tomorrow YHWH does this thing in the land.”
| وَعَيَّنَ الرَّبُّ مَوْعِداً لِذَلِكَ قَائِلاً: «غَداً يَصْنَعُ الرَّبُّ هَذَا فِي الأَرْضِ». | ٥ |
6 And YHWH does this thing on the next day, and all the livestock of Egypt die, and of the livestock of the sons of Israel not one has died;
| وَفِي الْغَدِ صَنَعَ الرَّبُّ هَذَا الأَمْرَ. فَهَلَكَتْ جَمِيعُ مَوَاشِي الْمِصْرِيِّينَ، أَمَّا مَوَاشِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَلَمْ يَهْلِكْ مِنْهَا وَاحِدٌ. | ٦ |
7 and Pharaoh sends, and behold, not even one of the livestock of Israel has died, and the heart of Pharaoh is hard, and he has not sent the people away.
| وَأَرْسَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ لِيَتَحَقَّقَ مِنَ الأَمْرِ، وَإذَا مَوَاشِي إِسْرَائِيلَ لَمْ يَهْلِكْ مِنْهَا وَاحِدٌ. وَتَصَلَّبَ قَلْبُ فِرْعَوْنَ فَلَمْ يُطْلِقْ الشَّعْبَ. | ٧ |
8 And YHWH says to Moses and to Aaron, “Take for yourselves the fullness of your handfuls—soot of a furnace, and Moses has sprinkled it toward the heavens, before the eyes of Pharaoh,
| فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى وَهَرُونَ: «لِيَأْخُذْ كُلٌّ مِنْكُمَا حَفْنَةً مِنْ رَمَادِ الْأَتُونِ، وَلْيُذَرِّ مُوسَى الرَّمَادَ نَحْوَ السَّمَاءِ بِمَرْأَى مِنْ فِرْعَوْنَ، | ٨ |
9 and it has become small dust over all the land of Egypt, and it has become on man and on livestock a boil breaking forth [with] blisters in all the land of Egypt.”
| فَيَتَحَوَّلَ إِلَى غُبَارٍ يُغَطِّي كُلَّ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، فَيُصَابَ النَّاسُ وَالْبَهَائِمُ بِدَمَامِلَ مُتَقَيِّحَةٍ فِي كُلِّ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ». | ٩ |
10 And they take the soot of the furnace, and stand before Pharaoh, and Moses sprinkles it toward the heavens, and it is a boil [with] blisters breaking forth on man and on beast;
| فَأَخَذَا رَمَاداً مِنَ الأَتُونِ، وَوَقَفَا أَمَامَ فِرْعَوْنَ، ثُمَّ ذَرَّاهُ مُوسَى نَحْوَ السَّمَاءِ، فَتَحَوَّلَ إِلَى دَمَامِلَ مُتَقَيِّحَةٍ أَصَابَتِ النَّاسَ وَالْبَهَائِمَ. | ١٠ |
11 and the enchanters have not been able to stand before Moses because of the boil, for the boil has been on the enchanters, and on all the Egyptians.
| وَلَمْ يَسْتَطِعِ السَّحَرَةُ أَنْ يُواجِهُوا مُوسَى مِن جَرَّاءِ الدَّمَامِلِ، لأَنَّ الدَّمَامِلَ أَصَابَتِ السَّحَرَةَ وَكُلَّ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ أَيْضاً. | ١١ |
12 And YHWH strengthens the heart of Pharaoh, and he has not listened to them, as YHWH has spoken to Moses.
| لَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ قَسَّى قَلْبَ فِرْعَوْنَ فَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ لَهُمَا، تَمَاماً كَمَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى. | ١٢ |
13 And YHWH says to Moses, “Rise early in the morning, and station yourself before Pharaoh, and you have said to him, Thus said YHWH, God of the Hebrews: Send My people away, and they serve Me,
| ثُمَّ قَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «قُمْ مُبَكِّراً فِي الصَّبَاحِ وَامْثُلْ أَمَامَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَقُلْ لَهُ: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ الْعِبْرَانِيِّينَ: أَطْلِقْ شَعْبِي لِيَعْبُدَنِي. | ١٣ |
14 for at this time I am sending all My plagues to your heart, and on your servants, and on your people, so that you know that there is none like Me in all the earth,
| لأَنَّنِي فِي هَذِهِ الْمَرَّةِ سَأُوَجِّهُ جَمِيعَ ضَرَبَاتِي إِلَى قَلْبِكَ وَإِلَى حَاشِيَتِكَ وَإِلَى شَعْبِكَ، لِكَيْ تَعْرِفَ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ مَثِيلٌ لِي فِي كُلِّ الأَرْضِ. | ١٤ |
15 for now I have put forth My hand, and I strike you, and your people, with pestilence, and you are hidden from the earth.
| فَقَدْ كَانَ بِوُسْعِي حَتَّى الآنَ أَنْ أَمُدَّ يَدِي وَأَضْرِبَكَ وَأَضْرِبَ شَعْبَكَ أَيْضاً بِالوَبَأِ لِتُبَادَ مِنَ الأَرْضِ، | ١٥ |
16 And yet for this I have caused you to stand, so as to show you My power, and for the sake of declaring My Name in all the earth;
| وَلَكِنَّنِي أَقَمْتُكَ لأُرِيَكَ قُوَّتِي، وَلِكَيْ يُذَاعَ اسْمِي فِي جَمِيعِ الأَرْضِ. | ١٦ |
17 still you are exalting yourself against My people—so as not to send them away;
| وَهَا أَنْتَ مَازِلْتَ تُقَاوِمُ شَعْبِي وَلا تُطْلِقُهُ. | ١٧ |
18 behold, I am raining very grievous hail about [this] time tomorrow, such as has not been in Egypt from the day of its founding and until now.
| لِذَلِكَ غَداً فِي مِثْلِ هَذَا الْوَقْتِ أُمْطِرُ بَرَداً ثَقِيلاً لَمْ تَشْهَدْهُ مِصْرُ مُنْذُ يَوْمِ تَأْسِيسِهَا حَتَّى الآنَ. | ١٨ |
19 And now, send, strengthen your livestock and all that you have in the field; every man and beast which is found in the field, and is not gathered into the house—the hail has come down on them, and they have died.”
| فَأَرْسِلِ الآنَ وَاجْمَعْ مَوَاشِيَكَ وَكُلَّ مَالَكَ فِي الْحَقْلِ، لأَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَمْكُثُ فِي الْحَقْلِ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَالْبَهَائِمِ وَلا يَلْجَأُ إِلَى مَأْوىً، يَنْهَمِرُ عَلَيْهِ الْبَرَدُ فَيَمُوتُ». | ١٩ |
20 He who is fearing the word of YHWH among the servants of Pharaoh has caused his servants and his livestock to flee to the houses;
| فَكُلُّ مَنْ خَافَ كَلِمَةَ الرَّبِّ مِنْ رِجَالِ فِرْعَوْنَ لاذَ بِعَبِيدِهِ وَمَاشِيَتِهِ بِالْبُيُوتِ، | ٢٠ |
21 and he who has not set his heart to the word of YHWH leaves his servants and his livestock in the field.
| أَمَّا الَّذِينَ اسْتَخَفُّوا بِكَلامِ الرَّبِّ فَقَدْ تَرَكُوا عَبِيدَهُمْ وَمَوَاشِيَهُمْ فِي الْحَقْلِ. | ٢١ |
22 And YHWH says to Moses, “Stretch forth your hand toward the heavens, and there is hail in all the land of Egypt, on man, and on beast, and on every herb of the field in the land of Egypt.”
| وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «مُدَّ يَدَكَ نَحْوَ السَّمَاءِ فَيَنْهَمِرَ الْبَرَدُ عَلَى كُلِّ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، وَعَلَى الرِّجَالِ وَالْبَهَائِمِ وَعَلَى عُشْبِ الْحَقْلِ فِي جَمِيعِ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ». | ٢٢ |
23 And Moses stretches out his rod toward the heavens, and YHWH has given voices and hail, and fire goes toward the earth, and YHWH rains hail on the land of Egypt,
| فَمَدَّ مُوسَى عَصَاهُ نَحْوَ السَّمَاءِ، فَأَرْسَلَ الرَّبُّ رُعُوداً وَبَرَداً. وَأَصَابَتِ الصَّوَاعِقُ الأَرْضَ، وَأَمْطَرَ الرَّبُّ بَرَداً عَلَى كُلِّ بِلادِ مِصْرَ، | ٢٣ |
24 and there is hail, and fire catching itself in the midst of the hail, very grievous, such as has not been in all the land of Egypt since it has become a nation.
| فَانْهَمَرَ الْبَرَدُ، وَاخْتَلَطَتِ الصَّوَاعِقُ بِالْبَرَدِ، فَكَانَتْ أَسْوَأَ عَاصِفَةٍ شَهِدَتْهَا أَرْضُ مِصْرَ مُنْذُ أَنْ صَارَتْ أُمَّةً. | ٢٤ |
25 And the hail strikes all that [is] in the field in all the land of Egypt, from man even to beast, and the hail has struck every herb of the field, and it has broken every tree of the field;
| وَأَصَابَ الْبَرَدُ فِي كُلِّ أَرْجَاءِ مِصْرَ جَمِيعَ مَا فِي الْحُقُولِ مِنْ نَاسٍ وَبَهَائِمَ. وَأَتْلَفَ كُلَّ نَبَاتٍ نَامٍ فِي الْحَقْلِ وَكَسَّرَ جَمِيعَ الأَشْجَارِ. | ٢٥ |
26 only in the land of Goshen, where the sons of Israel [are], there has been no hail.
| أَمَّا أَرْضُ جَاسَانَ حَيْثُ يُقِيمُ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَإِنَّهَا وَحْدَهَا لَمْ يَسْقُطْ فِيهَا بَرَدٌ. | ٢٦ |
27 And Pharaoh sends, and calls for Moses and for Aaron, and says to them, “I have sinned this time—YHWH [is] the righteous, and I and my people [are] the wicked,
| فَأَرْسَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَاسْتَدْعَى مُوسَى وَهَرُونَ وَقَالَ لَهُمَا: «لَقَدْ أَخْطَأْتُ هَذِهِ الْمَرَّةَ وَالرَّبُّ هُوَ الْبَارُّ، أَمَّا أَنَا وَشَعْبِي فَأَشْرَارٌ، | ٢٧ |
28 make supplication to YHWH, and plead that there be no voices of God and hail, and I send you away, and you do not add to remain.”
| فَتَضَرَّعَا إِلَى الرَّبِّ إذْ يَكْفِينَا مَا ابْتُلِينَا بِهِ مِنْ رُعُودٍ وَبَرَدٍ، فَأُطْلِقَكُمْ، وَلا تَمْكُثُونَ هُنَا بَعْدُ». | ٢٨ |
29 And Moses says to him, “At my going out of the city, I spread my palms to YHWH—the voices cease, and there is no more hail, so that you know that the earth [is] YHWH’s;
| فَأَجَابَ مُوسَى: «حَالَمَا أَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ أَبْسُطُ يَدِي فِي الصَّلاةِ إِلَى الرَّبِّ فَيَتَوَقَّفُ الرَّعْدُ وَيَنْقَطِعُ الْبَرَدُ لِكَيْ تَعْرِفَ أَنَّ الأَرْضَ هِيَ للرَّبِّ. | ٢٩ |
30 but you and your servants—I have known that you are not yet afraid of the face of YHWH God.”
| وَلَكِنَّنِي عَالِمٌ أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ وَحَاشِيَتَكَ مَازِلْتُمْ لَا تَخْشَوْنَ الرَّبَّ الإِلَهَ». | ٣٠ |
31 And the flax and the barley have been struck, for the barley [is] budding, and the flax forming flowers,
| إنَّ الْكَتَّانَ وَالشَّعِيرَ قَدْ تَلِفَا، لأَنَّ الشَّعِيرَ أَصْبَحَ سَنَابِلَ، وَالكَتَّانَ كَانَ مُبْزِراً، | ٣١ |
32 and the wheat and the rye have not been struck, for they are late.
| أَمَّا الْحِنْطَةُ وَالقَطَانِيُّ فَلَمْ تَتْلَفْ بَعْدُ لأَنَّهَا تَنْمُو مُتَأَخِّرَةً. | ٣٢ |
33 And Moses goes out from Pharaoh, [from] the city, and spreads his hands to YHWH, and the voices and the hail cease, and rain has not been poured out to the earth;
| وَانْصَرَفَ مُوسَى مِنْ لَدُنْ فِرْعَوْنَ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ وَبَسَطَ يَدَيْهِ إِلَى الرَّبِّ، فَتَوَقَّفَ الرَّعْدُ وَالْبَرَدُ وَانْقَطَعَ الْمَطَرُ عَنِ الانْهِمَارِ عَلَى الأَرْضِ. | ٣٣ |
34 and Pharaoh sees that the rain has ceased, and the hail and the voices, and he continues to sin, and hardens his heart, he and his servants;
| وَعِنْدَمَا رَأَى فِرْعَوْنُ أَنَّ الْمَطَرَ وَالْبَرَدَ وَالرَّعْدَ قَدْ تَوَقَّفَتْ أَخْطَأَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى وَصَلَّبَ قَلْبَهُ هُوَ وَحَاشِيَتُهُ. | ٣٤ |
35 and the heart of Pharaoh is strong, and he has not sent the sons of Israel away, as YHWH has spoken by the hand of Moses.
| وَهَكَذَا تَقَسَّى قَلْبُ فِرْعَوْنَ، فَلَمْ يُطْلِقْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، تَمَاماً كَمَا أَنْبَأَ الرَّبُّ عَلَى لِسَانِ مُوسَى. | ٣٥ |
