< Exodus 8 >

1 The LORD spoke to Moses, Go in to Pharaoh, and tell him, "This is what the LORD says, 'Let my people go, that they may serve me.
قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «ٱدْخُلْ إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ وَقُلْ لَهُ: هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ: أَطْلِقْ شَعْبِي لِيَعْبُدُونِي.١
2 If you refuse to let them go, look, I will plague all your borders with frogs:
وَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَأْبَى أَنْ تُطْلِقَهُمْ فَهَا أَنَا أَضْرِبُ جَمِيعَ تُخُومِكَ بِٱلضَّفَادِعِ.٢
3 and the river shall swarm with frogs, which shall go up and come into your house, and into your bedchamber, and on your bed, and into the house of your servants, and on your people, and into your ovens, and into your kneading troughs:
فَيَفِيضُ ٱلنَّهْرُ ضَفَادِعَ. فَتَصْعَدُ وَتَدْخُلُ إِلَى بَيْتِكَ وَإِلَى مِخْدَعِ فِرَاشِكَ وَعَلَى سَرِيرِكَ وَإِلَى بُيُوتِ عَبِيدِكَ وَعَلَى شَعْبِكَ وَإِلَى تَنَانِيرِكَ وَإِلَى مَعَاجِنِكَ.٣
4 and the frogs shall come up both on you, and on your people, and on all your servants.'"
عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى شَعْبِكَ وَعَبِيدِكَ تَصْعَدُ ٱلضَّفَادِعُ».٤
5 The LORD said to Moses, "Tell Aaron your brother, 'Stretch forth your hand with your staff over the rivers, over the streams, and over the pools, and cause frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.'"
فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «قُلْ لِهَارُونَ: مُدَّ يَدَكَ بِعَصَاكَ عَلَى ٱلْأَنْهَارِ وَٱلسَّوَاقِي وَٱلْآجَامِ، وَأَصْعِدِ ٱلضَّفَادِعَ عَلَى أَرْضِ مِصْرَ».٥
6 Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.
فَمَدَّ هَارُونُ يَدَهُ عَلَى مِيَاهِ مِصْرَ، فَصَعِدَتِ ٱلضَّفَادِعُ وَغَطَّتْ أَرْضَ مِصْرَ.٦
7 The magicians did in like manner with their secret arts, and brought up frogs on the land of Egypt.
وَفَعَلَ كَذَلِكَ ٱلْعَرَّافُونَ بِسِحْرِهِمْ وَأَصْعَدُوا ٱلضَّفَادِعَ عَلَى أَرْضِ مِصْرَ.٧
8 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, "Pray to the LORD, that he take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice to the LORD."
فَدَعَا فِرْعَوْنُ مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ وَقَالَ: «صَلِّيَا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ لِيَرْفَعَ ٱلضَّفَادِعَ عَنِّي وَعَنْ شَعْبِي فَأُطْلِقَ ٱلشَّعْبَ لِيَذْبَحُوا لِلرَّبِّ».٨
9 Moses said to Pharaoh, "I give you the honor of setting the time that I should pray for you, and for your servants, and for your people, that the frogs be destroyed from you and your houses, and remain in the river only."
فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِفِرْعَوْنَ: «عَيِّنْ لِي مَتَى أُصَلِّي لِأَجْلِكَ وَلِأَجْلِ عَبِيدِكَ وَشَعْبِكَ لِقَطْعِ ٱلضَّفَادِعِ عَنْكَ وَعَنْ بُيُوتِكَ. وَلَكِنَّهَا تَبْقَى فِي ٱلنَّهْرِ».٩
10 He said, "Tomorrow." He said, "Be it according to your word, that you may know that there is none like the LORD our God.
فَقَالَ: «غَدًا». فَقَالَ: «كَقَوْلِكَ. لِكَيْ تَعْرِفَ أَنْ لَيْسَ مِثْلُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا.١٠
11 The frogs shall depart from you, and from your houses, and from your servants, and from your people. They shall remain in the river only."
فَتَرْتَفِعُ ٱلضَّفَادِعُ عَنْكَ وَعَنْ بُيُوتِكَ وَعَبِيدِكَ وَشَعْبِكَ، وَلَكِنَّهَا تَبْقَى فِي ٱلنَّهْرِ».١١
12 Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh, and Moses cried to the LORD concerning the frogs which he had brought on Pharaoh.
ثُمَّ خَرَجَ مُوسَى وَهَارُونُ مِنْ لَدُنْ فِرْعَوْنَ، وَصَرَخَ مُوسَى إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلضَّفَادِعِ ٱلَّتِي جَعَلَهَا عَلَى فِرْعَوْنَ،١٢
13 The LORD did according to the word of Moses, and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the courts, and out of the fields.
فَفَعَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ كَقَوْلِ مُوسَى. فَمَاتَتِ ٱلضَّفَادِعُ مِنَ ٱلْبُيُوتِ وَٱلدُّورِ وَٱلْحُقُولِ.١٣
14 They gathered them together in heaps, and the land stank.
وَجَمَعُوهَا كُوَمًا كَثِيرَةً حَتَّى أَنْتَنَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ.١٤
15 But when Pharaoh saw that there was a respite, he hardened his heart, and did not listen to them, as the LORD had spoken.
فَلَمَّا رَأَى فِرْعَوْنُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ حَصَلَ ٱلْفَرَجُ أَغْلَظَ قَلْبَهُ وَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ لَهُمَا، كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ.١٥
16 The LORD said to Moses, "Tell Aaron, 'Stretch out your staff, and strike the dust of the earth, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt.'"
ثُمَّ قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «قُلْ لِهَارُونَ: مُدَّ عَصَاكَ وَٱضْرِبْ تُرَابَ ٱلْأَرْضِ لِيَصِيرَ بَعُوضًا فِي جَمِيعِ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ».١٦
17 They did so; and Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff, and struck the dust of the earth, and there were lice on man, and on animal; all the dust of the earth became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
فَفَعَلَا كَذَلِكَ. مَدَّ هَارُونُ يَدَهُ بِعَصَاهُ وَضَرَبَ تُرَابَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَصَارَ ٱلْبَعُوضُ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ وَعَلَى ٱلْبَهَائِمِ. كُلُّ تُرَابِ ٱلْأَرْضِ صَارَ بَعُوضًا فِي جَمِيعِ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ.١٧
18 The magicians tried with their secret arts to bring forth lice, but they couldn't. There were lice on man, and on animal.
وَفَعَلَ كَذَلِكَ ٱلْعَرَّافُونَ بِسِحْرِهِمْ لِيُخْرِجُوا ٱلْبَعُوضَ فَلَمْ يَسْتَطِيعُوا. وَكَانَ ٱلْبَعُوضُ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ وَعَلَى ٱلْبَهَائِمِ.١٨
19 Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, "This is the finger of God:" and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them; as the LORD had spoken.
فَقَالَ ٱلْعَرَّافُونَ لِفِرْعَوْنَ: «هَذَا إِصْبَعُ ٱللهِ». وَلَكِنِ ٱشْتَدَّ قَلْبُ فِرْعَوْنَ فَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ لَهُمَا، كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ.١٩
20 The LORD said to Moses, "Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; look, he comes forth to the water; and tell him, 'This is what the LORD says, "Let my people go, that they may serve me.
ثُمَّ قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «بَكِّرْ فِي ٱلصَّبَاحِ وَقِفْ أَمَامَ فِرْعَوْنَ. إِنَّهُ يَخْرُجُ إِلَى ٱلْمَاءِ. وَقُلْ لَهُ: هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ: أَطْلِقْ شَعْبِي لِيَعْبُدُونِي.٢٠
21 Else, if you will not let my people go, look, I will send swarms of flies on you, and on your servants, and on your people, and into your houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground whereon they are.
فَإِنَّهُ إِنْ كُنْتَ لَا تُطْلِقُ شَعْبِي، هَا أَنَا أُرْسِلُ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى عَبِيدِكَ وَعَلَى شَعْبِكَ وَعَلَى بُيُوتِكَ ٱلذُّبَّانَ، فَتَمْتَلِئُ بُيُوتُ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ ذُبَّانًا. وَأَيْضًا ٱلْأَرْضُ ٱلَّتِي هُمْ عَلَيْهَا.٢١
22 I will set apart in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end you may know that I am the LORD in the midst of the earth.
وَلَكِنْ أُمَيِّزُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ أَرْضَ جَاسَانَ حَيْثُ شَعْبِي مُقِيمٌ حَتَّى لَا يَكُونُ هُنَاكَ ذُبَّانٌ. لِكَيْ تَعْلَمَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ.٢٢
23 I will put a division between my people and your people: by tomorrow shall this sign be."'"
وَأَجْعَلُ فَرْقًا بَيْنَ شَعْبِي وَشَعْبِكَ. غَدًا تَكُونُ هَذِهِ ٱلْآيَةُ».٢٣
24 The LORD did so; and there came grievous swarms of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants' houses: and in all the land of Egypt the land was corrupted by reason of the swarms of flies.
فَفَعَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ هَكَذَا، فَدَخَلَتْ ذُبَّانٌ كَثِيرَةٌ إِلَى بَيْتِ فِرْعَوْنَ وَبُيُوتِ عَبِيدِهِ. وَفِي كُلِّ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ خَرِبَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ مِنَ ٱلذُّبَّانِ.٢٤
25 Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, "Go, sacrifice to your God in the land."
فَدَعَا فِرْعَوْنُ مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ وَقَالَ: «ٱذْهَبُوا ٱذْبَحُوا لِإِلَهِكُمْ فِي هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ».٢٥
26 Moses said, "It isn't appropriate to do so; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to the LORD our God. Look, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and won't they stone us?
فَقَالَ مُوسَى: «لَا يَصْلَحُ أَنْ نَفْعَلَ هَكَذَا، لِأَنَّنَا إِنَّمَا نَذْبَحُ رِجْسَ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا. إِنْ ذَبَحْنَا رِجْسَ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ أَمَامَ عُيُونِهِمْ أَفَلَا يَرْجُمُونَنَا؟٢٦
27 We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the LORD our God, as he shall command us."
نَذْهَبُ سَفَرَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ وَنَذْبَحُ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا كَمَا يَقُولُ لَنَا».٢٧
28 Pharaoh said, "I will let you go, that you may sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness, only you shall not go very far away. Pray for me."
فَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ: «أَنَا أُطْلِقُكُمْ لِتَذْبَحُوا لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، وَلَكِنْ لَا تَذْهَبُوا بَعِيدًا. صَلِّيَا لِأَجْلِي».٢٨
29 Moses said, "Look, I go out from you, and I will pray to God that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, tomorrow; only do not let Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the LORD."
فَقَالَ مُوسَى: «هَا أَنَا أَخْرُجُ مِنْ لَدُنْكَ وَأُصَلِّي إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ، فَتَرْتَفِعُ ٱلذُّبَّانُ عَنْ فِرْعَوْنَ وَعَبِيدِهِ وَشَعْبِهِ غَدًا. وَلَكِنْ لَا يَعُدْ فِرْعَوْنُ يُخَاتِلُ حَتَّى لَا يُطْلِقَ ٱلشَّعْبَ لِيَذْبَحَ لِلرَّبِّ».٢٩
30 Moses went out from Pharaoh, and prayed to God.
فَخَرَجَ مُوسَى مِنْ لَدُنْ فِرْعَوْنَ وَصَلَّى إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ.٣٠
31 The LORD did according to the word of Moses, and he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people. There remained not one.
فَفَعَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ كَقَوْلِ مُوسَى، فَٱرْتَفَعَ ٱلذُّبَّانُ عَنْ فِرْعَوْنَ وَعَبِيدِهِ وَشَعْبِهِ. لَمْ تَبْقَ وَاحِدَةٌ.٣١
32 Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also, and he did not let the people go.
وَلَكِنْ أَغْلَظَ فِرْعَوْنُ قَلْبَهُ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَرَّةَ أَيْضًا فَلَمْ يُطْلِقِ ٱلشَّعْبَ.٣٢
