< Exodus 19 >

1 In the third month after the children of Israel had gone forth out of the land of Egypt, on that same day they came into the wilderness of Sinai.
وَفِي تَمَامِ الشَّهْرِ الثَّالِثِ مِنْ خُرُوجِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ وَصَلُوا إِلَى بَرِّيَّةِ سِينَاءَ.١
2 When they had departed from Rephidim, and had come to the wilderness of Sinai, they camped in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before the mountain.
فَقَدِ ارْتَحَلَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ مِنْ رَفِيدِيمَ إِلَى أَنْ جَاءُوا إِلَى بَرِّيَّةِ سِينَاءَ، فَنَزَلُوا مُقَابِلَ الْجَبَلِ.٢
3 Moses went up to God, and God called to him out of the mountain, saying, "This is what you shall tell the house of Jacob, and tell 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 what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings, and brought you to myself.
لَقَدْ عَايَنْتُمْ بِأَنْفُسِكُمْ مَا أَجْرَيْتُهُ عَلَى مِصْرَ، وَكَيْفَ حَمَلْتُكُمْ عَلَى أَجْنِحَةِ النُّسُورِ وَجِئْتُ بِكُمْ إِلَيَّ.٤
5 Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice, and keep my covenant, then you shall be my own possession from among all peoples; for all the 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 kingdom of priests, and a holy nation.' These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel."
وَتَكُونُوا لِي مَمْلَكَةَ كَهَنَةٍ وَأُمَّةً مُقَدَّسَةً. هَذَا هُوَ الْكَلامُ الَّذِي تُخَاطِبُ بِهِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ».٦
7 Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and set before them all these words which God commanded him.
فَاسْتَدْعَى مُوسَى شُيُوخَ الشَّعْبِ وَتَلا أَمَامَهُمْ جَمِيعَ هَذَا الْكَلامِ الَّذِي أَوْصَاهُ بِهِ الرَّبُّ.٧
8 All the people answered together, and said, "All that God has spoken we will do." Moses reported the words of the people to God.
فَقَالَ كُلُّ الشَّعْبِ مَعاً: «كُلُّ مَا نَطَقَ بِهِ الرَّبُّ نَعْمَلُ». فَحَمَلَ مُوسَى جَوَابَهُمْ إِلَى الرَّبِّ.٨
9 The LORD said to Moses, "Look, I come to you in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and may also believe you forever." Moses told 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 The LORD said to Moses, "Go to the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their garments,
وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «انْزِلْ إِلَى الشَّعْبِ وَقَدِّسْهُمُ الْيَوْمَ وَغَداً، وَدَعْهُمْ يَغْسِلُونَ ثِيَابَهُمْ،١٠
11 and be ready against the third day; for on the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people on Mount Sinai.
لِيَكُونُوا مُتَأَهِّبِينَ لِلْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ، لأَنَّهُ فِي اليَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ أَنْزِلُ أَمَامَ جَمِيعِ الشَّعْبِ عَلَى جَبَلِ سِينَاءَ.١١
12 You shall set bounds to the people all around, saying, 'Be careful that you do not go up onto the mountain, or touch its border. Whoever touches the mountain shall be surely put to death.
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 No hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned or shot through; whether it is animal or man, he shall not live.' When the trumpet sounds long, they shall come up to 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 Moses went down from the mountain to the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.
وَبَعْدَ أَنِ انْحَدَرَ مُوسَى مِنَ الْجَبَلِ إِلَى الشَّعْبِ قَدَّسَهُمْ وَغَسَلُوا ثِيَابَهُمْ،١٤
15 He said to the people, "Be ready by the third day. Do not have sexual relations with a woman."
وَقَالَ لِلشَّعْبِ: «كُونُوا مُتَأَهِّبِينَ لِلْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ، وَامْتَنِعُوا عَنْ مُعَاشَرَةِ نِسَائِكُمْ».١٥
16 It happened on the third day, when it was morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud on the mountain, and the sound of an exceedingly loud trumpet; and all the people who were 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 Moses led the people out of the camp to meet God; and they stood at the lower part of the mountain.
فَأَخْرَجَ مُوسَى الشَّعْبَ مِنَ المُخَيَّمِ لِلِقَاءِ اللهِ، فَوَقَفُوا عِنْدَ سَفْحِ الجَبَلِ.١٧
18 And Mount Sinai was wrapped in smoke because God descended on it in fire; and its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked greatly.
وَكَانَ جَبَلُ سِينَاءَ كُلُّهُ مُغَطَّى بِدُخَانٍ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ نَزَلَ عَلَيْهِ فِي هَيْئَةِ نَارٍ. وَتَصَاعَدَ دُخَانُهُ كَدُخَانِ الأَتُونِ، وَاهْتَزَّ الجَبَلُ كُلُّهُ بِعُنْفٍ.١٨
19 When the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by a voice.
وَازْدَادَ دَوِيُّ الْبُوقِ أَكْثَرَ فِيمَا كَانَ مُوسَى يَتَكَلَّمُ، وَالرَّبُّ يُجِيبُهُ بِرَعْدٍ.١٩
20 The LORD came down on Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain. 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 God said to Moses, "Go down, warn the people, lest they break through to God to look, and many of them perish.
فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّبُّ: «انْزِلْ وَحَذِّرِ الشَّعْبَ لِئَلّا يَقْتَحِمُوا الجَبَلَ لِيَرَونِي فَيَهْلِكَ مِنْهُمْ كَثِيرُونَ.٢١
22 Let the priests also, who come near to God, sanctify themselves, or the LORD will break out against them."
وَلْيَتَقَدَّسْ أَيْضاً الْكَهَنَةُ الَّذِينَ يَقْتَرِبُونَ إِلَيَّ لِئَلّا أَبْطُشَ بِهِمْ».٢٢
23 Moses said to God, "The people can't come up to Mount Sinai, for you warned us, saying, 'Set bounds around 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 The LORD said to him, "Go down and you shall bring Aaron up with you, but do not let the priests and the people break through to come up to God, or he will break out against them."
فَأَجَابَ الرَّبُّ: «انْزِلْ وَاصْعَدْ بِأَخِيكَ هَرُونَ مَعَكَ، أَمَّا الكَهَنَةُ وَالشَّعْبُ فَلا يَقْتَحِمُوا طَرِيقَهُمْ لِيَصْعَدُوا إِلَيَّ لِئَلّا أَبْطُشَ بِهِمْ».٢٤
25 So Moses went down to the people, and told them.
فَانْحَدَرَ مُوسَى إِلَى الشَّعْبِ وَأَنْذَرَهُمْ.٢٥
