Exodus 14
1 Now YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
| وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُ مُوسَى قَائِلًا: | ١ |
2 "Speak to the children of Israel, that they turn back and camp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal Zephon. You shall camp opposite it by the sea.
| «كَلِّمْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يَرْجِعُوا وَيَنْزِلُوا أَمَامَ فَمِ ٱلْحِيرُوثِ بَيْنَ مَجْدَلَ وَٱلْبَحْرِ، أَمَامَ بَعْلَ صَفُونَ. مُقَابِلَهُ تَنْزِلُونَ عِنْدَ ٱلْبَحْرِ. | ٢ |
3 Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, 'They are wandering in the land. The wilderness has boxed them in.'
| فَيَقُولُ فِرْعَوْنُ عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: هُمْ مُرْتَبِكُونَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. قَدِ ٱسْتَغْلَقَ عَلَيْهِمِ ٱلْقَفْرُ. | ٣ |
4 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and he will pursue them. And I will gain glory because of Pharaoh and because of all his army, and the Egyptians shall know that I am YHWH." And they did so.
| وَأُشَدِّدُ قَلْبَ فِرْعَوْنَ حَتَّى يَسْعَى وَرَاءَهُمْ، فَأَتَمَجَّدُ بِفِرْعَوْنَ وَبِجَمِيعِ جَيْشِهِ، وَيَعْرِفُ ٱلْمِصْرِيُّونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ». فَفَعَلُوا هَكَذَا. | ٤ |
5 And when the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled, the heart of Pharaoh and his servants was turned against the people, and they said, "What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?"
| فَلَمَّا أُخْبِرَ مَلِكُ مِصْرَ أَنَّ ٱلشَّعْبَ قَدْ هَرَبَ، تَغَيَّرَ قَلْبُ فِرْعَوْنَ وَعَبِيدِهِ عَلَى ٱلشَّعْبِ. فَقَالُوا: «مَاذَا فَعَلْنَا حَتَّى أَطْلَقْنَا إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ خِدْمَتِنَا؟» | ٥ |
6 Then he made ready his chariot, and took his army with him;
| فَشَدَّ مَرْكَبَتَهُ وَأَخَذَ قَوْمَهُ مَعَهُ. | ٦ |
7 and he took six hundred select chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and officers over all of them.
| وَأَخَذَ سِتَّ مِئَةِ مَرْكَبَةٍ مُنْتَخَبَةٍ وَسَائِرَ مَرْكَبَاتِ مِصْرَ وَجُنُودًا مَرْكَبِيَّةً عَلَى جَمِيعِهَا. | ٧ |
8 And YHWH hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel; and the children of Israel were going out triumphantly.
| وَشَدَّدَ ٱلرَّبُّ قَلْبَ فِرْعَوْنَ مَلِكِ مِصْرَ حَتَّى سَعَى وَرَاءَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَبَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ خَارِجُونَ بِيَدٍ رَفِيعَةٍ. | ٨ |
9 And the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh and his horsemen and his army, and overtook them camping by the sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, before Baal Zephon.
| فَسَعَى ٱلْمِصْرِيُّونَ وَرَاءَهُمْ وَأَدْرَكُوهُمْ. جَمِيعُ خَيْلِ مَرْكَبَاتِ فِرْعَوْنَ وَفُرْسَانِهِ وَجَيْشِهِ، وَهُمْ نَازِلُونَ عِنْدَ ٱلْبَحْرِ عِنْدَ فَمِ ٱلْحِيرُوثِ، أَمَامَ بَعْلَ صَفُونَ. | ٩ |
10 When Pharaoh drew near, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and look, the Egyptians were marching after them, and they were very afraid. So the children of Israel cried out to YHWH.
| فَلَمَّا ٱقْتَرَبَ فِرْعَوْنُ رَفَعَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ عُيُونَهُمْ، وَإِذَا ٱلْمِصْرِيُّونَ رَاحِلُونَ وَرَاءَهُمْ. فَفَزِعُوِا جِدًّا، وَصَرَخَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ. | ١٠ |
11 And they said to Moses, "Was it because there were no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? What have you done to us by bringing us out of Egypt?
| وَقَالُوا لِمُوسَى: «هَلْ لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَتْ قُبُورٌ فِي مِصْرَ أَخَذْتَنَا لِنَمُوتَ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ؟ مَاذَا صَنَعْتَ بِنَا حَتَّى أَخْرَجْتَنَا مِنْ مِصْرَ؟ | ١١ |
12 Isn't this the word that we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, 'Leave us alone so that we may serve the Egyptians?' For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness."
| أَلَيْسَ هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْكَلَامُ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمْنَاكَ بِهِ فِي مِصْرَ قَائِلِينَ: كُفَّ عَنَّا فَنَخْدِمَ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ؟ لِأَنَّهُ خَيْرٌ لَنَا أَنْ نَخْدِمَ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ مِنْ أَنْ نَمُوتَ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ». | ١٢ |
13 But Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid, stand still, and see the salvation of God, which he will work for you today, for the Egyptians you see today, you will never, ever see again.
| فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِلشَّعْبِ: «لَا تَخَافُوا. قِفُوا وَٱنْظُرُوا خَلَاصَ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي يَصْنَعُهُ لَكُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ. فَإِنَّهُ كَمَا رَأَيْتُمُ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ ٱلْيَوْمَ، لَا تَعُودُونَ تَرَوْنَهُمْ أَيْضًا إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. | ١٣ |
14 YHWH will fight for you, and you must be still."
| ٱلرَّبُّ يُقَاتِلُ عَنْكُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ تَصْمُتُونَ». | ١٤ |
15 Then YHWH said to Moses, "Why are you crying out to me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward.
| فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «مَا لَكَ تَصْرُخُ إِلَيَّ؟ قُلْ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يَرْحَلُوا. | ١٥ |
16 And as for you, lift up your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, and the children of Israel will go through the midst of the sea on dry ground.
| وَٱرْفَعْ أَنْتَ عَصَاكَ وَمُدَّ يَدَكَ عَلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ وَشُقَّهُ، فَيَدْخُلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْبَحْرِ عَلَى ٱلْيَابِسَةِ. | ١٦ |
17 And as for me, look, I am going to harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they will go in after them, and I will receive glory over Pharaoh and all his army, his chariots and his horsemen.
| وَهَا أَنَا أُشَدِّدُ قُلُوبَ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ حَتَّى يَدْخُلُوا وَرَاءَهُمْ، فَأَتَمَجَّدُ بِفِرْعَوْنَ وَكُلِّ جَيْشِهِ، بِمَرْكَبَاتِهِ وَفُرْسَانِهِ. | ١٧ |
18 Then the Egyptians will know that I am YHWH, when I receive glory over Pharaoh, his chariots and his horsemen."
| فَيَعْرِفُ ٱلْمِصْرِيُّونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ حِينَ أَتَمَجَّدُ بِفِرْعَوْنَ وَمَرْكَبَاتِهِ وَفُرْسَانِهِ». | ١٨ |
19 And the angel of God who was going in front of the camp of Israel moved and went behind them, and the pillar of cloud moved from in front of them and stood behind them.
| فَٱنْتَقَلَ مَلَاكُ ٱللهِ ٱلسَّائِرُ أَمَامَ عَسْكَرِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَسَارَ وَرَاءَهُمْ، وَٱنْتَقَلَ عَمُودُ ٱلسَّحَابِ مِنْ أَمَامِهِمْ وَوَقَفَ وَرَاءَهُمْ. | ١٩ |
20 So it came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel. Thus it was a cloud and darkness and it lit up the night so that the one did not come near the other all night.
| فَدَخَلَ بَيْنَ عَسْكَرِ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ وَعَسْكَرِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَصَارَ ٱلسَّحَابُ وَٱلظَّلَامُ وَأَضَاءَ ٱللَّيْلَ. فَلَمْ يَقْتَرِبْ هَذَا إِلَى ذَاكَ كُلَّ ٱللَّيْلِ. | ٢٠ |
21 Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and YHWH pushed the sea back by a strong east wind all night, and made the sea into dry land, so the waters were divided.
| وَمَدَّ مُوسَى يَدَهُ عَلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ، فَأَجْرَى ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْبَحْرَ بِرِيحٍ شَرْقِيَّةٍ شَدِيدَةٍ كُلَّ ٱللَّيْلِ، وَجَعَلَ ٱلْبَحْرَ يَابِسَةً وَٱنْشَقَّ ٱلْمَاءُ. | ٢١ |
22 Then the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right and on their left.
| فَدَخَلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْبَحْرِ عَلَى ٱلْيَابِسَةِ، وَٱلْمَاءُ سُورٌ لَهُمْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِمْ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِمْ. | ٢٢ |
23 And the Egyptians pursued and went in after them into the midst of the sea, all of Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
| وَتَبِعَهُمُ ٱلْمِصْرِيُّونَ وَدَخَلُوا وَرَاءَهُمْ. جَمِيعُ خَيْلِ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَرْكَبَاتِهِ وَفُرْسَانِهِ إِلَى وَسَطِ ٱلْبَحْرِ. | ٢٣ |
24 And it happened, in the morning watch, that YHWH looked down on the Egyptian camp through the pillar of fire and cloud and threw the camp into confusion.
| وَكَانَ فِي هَزِيعِ ٱلصُّبْحِ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ أَشْرَفَ عَلَى عَسْكَرِ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ فِي عَمُودِ ٱلنَّارِ وَٱلسَّحَابِ، وَأَزْعَجَ عَسْكَرَ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ، | ٢٤ |
25 And he bound their chariot wheels so that they drove them with difficulty. And the Egyptians said, "Let's flee from before Israel, for YHWH fights for them against the Egypt."
| وَخَلَعَ بَكَرَ مَرْكَبَاتِهِمْ حَتَّى سَاقُوهَا بِثَقْلَةٍ. فَقَالَ ٱلْمِصْرِيُّونَ: «نَهْرُبُ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يُقَاتِلُ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ عَنْهُمْ». | ٢٥ |
26 Then YHWH said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand over the sea, so that the waters may flow back on the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen."
| فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «مُدَّ يَدَكَ عَلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ لِيَرْجِعَ ٱلْمَاءُ عَلَى ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ، عَلَى مَرْكَبَاتِهِمْ وَفُرْسَانِهِمْ». | ٢٦ |
27 So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its normal state at daybreak. Now the Egyptians were trying to escape from it, but YHWH shook off the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
| فَمَدَّ مُوسَى يَدَهُ عَلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ فَرَجَعَ ٱلْبَحْرُ عِنْدَ إِقْبَالِ ٱلصُّبْحِ إِلَى حَالِهِ ٱلدَّائِمَةِ، وَٱلْمِصْرِيُّونَ هَارِبُونَ إِلَى لِقَائِهِ. فَدَفَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْبَحْرِ. | ٢٧ |
28 Then the waters returned and covered the chariots, the horsemen, the entire army of Pharaoh that had followed them into the sea. None of them survived.
| فَرَجَعَ ٱلْمَاءُ وَغَطَّى مَرْكَبَاتِ وَفُرْسَانَ جَمِيعِ جَيْشِ فِرْعَوْنَ ٱلَّذِي دَخَلَ وَرَاءَهُمْ فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ. لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْهُمْ وَلَا وَاحِدٌ. | ٢٨ |
29 But the children of Israel walked on dry ground in the midst of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
| وَأَمَّا بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فَمَشَوْا عَلَى ٱلْيَابِسَةِ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْبَحْرِ، وَٱلْمَاءُ سُورٌ لَهُمْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِمْ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِمْ. | ٢٩ |
30 Thus YHWH saved Israel that day from the power of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore.
| فَخَلَّصَ ٱلرَّبُّ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ. وَنَظَرَ إِسْرَائِيلُ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ أَمْوَاتًا عَلَى شَاطِئِ ٱلْبَحْرِ. | ٣٠ |
31 When Israel saw the great power which YHWH used against the Egyptians, then the people feared YHWH, and they believed God and his servant Moses.
| وَرَأَى إِسْرَائِيلُ ٱلْفِعْلَ ٱلْعَظِيمَ ٱلَّذِي صَنَعَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ بِٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ، فَخَافَ ٱلشَّعْبُ ٱلرَّبَّ وَآمَنُوا بِٱلرَّبِّ وَبِعَبْدِهِ مُوسَى. | ٣١ |
