Exodus 2
1 A man of the house of Levi went and took a daughter of Levi as his wife.
| وَذَهَبَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَيْتِ لَاوِي وَأَخَذَ بِنْتَ لَاوِي، | ١ |
2 The woman conceived, and bore a son. When she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him three months.
| فَحَبِلَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ وَوَلَدَتِ ٱبْنًا. وَلَمَّا رَأَتْهُ أَنَّهُ حَسَنٌ، خَبَّأَتْهُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَشْهُرٍ. | ٢ |
3 When she could no longer hide him, she took a papyrus box for him and coated it with bitumen and with pitch. And she put the child in it and put it among the rushes by the bank of the river.
| وَلَمَّا لَمْ يُمْكِنْهَا أَنْ تُخَبِّئَهُ بَعْدُ، أَخَذَتْ لَهُ سَفَطًا مِنَ ٱلْبَرْدِيِّ وَطَلَتْهُ بِٱلْحُمَرِ وَٱلزِّفْتِ، وَوَضَعَتِ ٱلْوَلَدَ فِيهِ، وَوَضَعَتْهُ بَيْنَ ٱلْحَلْفَاءِ عَلَى حَافَةِ ٱلنَّهْرِ. | ٣ |
4 And his sister stood at a distance, to see what would be done to him.
| وَوَقَفَتْ أُخْتُهُ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ لِتَعْرِفَ مَاذَا يُفْعَلُ بِهِ. | ٤ |
5 Pharaoh's daughter came down to bathe at the river. Her maidens walked along by the riverside. She saw the box among the rushes, and sent her handmaid to get it.
| فَنَزَلَتِ ٱبْنَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ إِلَى ٱلنَّهْرِ لِتَغْتَسِلَ، وَكَانَتْ جَوَارِيهَا مَاشِيَاتٍ عَلَى جَانِبِ ٱلنَّهْرِ. فَرَأَتِ ٱلسَّفَطَ بَيْنَ ٱلْحَلْفَاءِ، فَأَرْسَلَتْ أَمَتَهَا وَأَخَذَتْهُ. | ٥ |
6 She opened it, and saw the child, and look, the baby cried. And she had compassion on him, and said, "This is one of the Hebrews' children."
| وَلَمَّا فَتَحَتْهُ رَأَتِ ٱلْوَلَدَ، وَإِذَا هُوَ صَبِيٌّ يَبْكِي. فَرَقَّتْ لَهُ وَقَالَتْ: «هَذَا مِنْ أَوْلَادِ ٱلْعِبْرَانِيِّينَ». | ٦ |
7 Then his sister said to Pharaoh's daughter, "Should I go and call a nurse for you from the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for you?"
| فَقَالَتْ أُخْتُهُ لِٱبْنَةِ فِرْعَوْنَ: «هَلْ أَذْهَبُ وَأَدْعُو لَكِ ٱمْرَأَةً مُرْضِعَةً مِنَ ٱلْعِبْرَانِيَّاتِ لِتُرْضِعَ لَكِ ٱلْوَلَدَ؟» | ٧ |
8 Pharaoh's daughter said to her, "Go." The maiden went and called the child's mother.
| فَقَالَتْ لَهَا ٱبْنَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ: «ٱذْهَبِي». فَذَهَبَتِ ٱلْفَتَاةُ وَدَعَتْ أُمَّ ٱلْوَلَدِ. | ٨ |
9 Pharaoh's daughter said to her, "Take this child away, and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages." The woman took the child, and nursed it.
| فَقَالَتْ لَهَا ٱبْنَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ: «ٱذْهَبِي بِهَذَا ٱلْوَلَدِ وَأَرْضِعِيهِ لِي وَأَنَا أُعْطِي أُجْرَتَكِ». فَأَخَذَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ ٱلْوَلَدَ وَأَرْضَعَتْهُ. | ٩ |
10 The child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. She named him Moses, and said, "Because I drew him out of the water."
| وَلَمَّا كَبِرَ ٱلْوَلَدُ جَاءَتْ بِهِ إِلَى ٱبْنَةِ فِرْعَوْنَ فَصَارَ لَهَا ٱبْنًا، وَدَعَتِ ٱسْمَهُ «مُوسَى» وَقَالَتْ: «إِنِّي ٱنْتَشَلْتُهُ مِنَ ٱلْمَاءِ». | ١٠ |
11 It happened in those days, when Moses had grown up, that he went out to his brothers, and looked at their burdens. He saw an Egyptian striking a Hebrew, one of his brothers.
| وَحَدَثَ فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لَمَّا كَبِرَ مُوسَى أَنَّهُ خَرَجَ إِلَى إِخْوَتِهِ لِيَنْظُرَ فِي أَثْقَالِهِمْ، فَرَأَى رَجُلًا مِصْرِيًّا يَضْرِبُ رَجُلًا عِبْرَانِيًّا مِنْ إِخْوَتِهِ، | ١١ |
12 He looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no one, he killed the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
| فَٱلْتَفَتَ إِلَى هُنَا وَهُنَاكَ وَرَأَى أَنْ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ، فَقَتَلَ ٱلْمِصْرِيَّ وَطَمَرَهُ فِي ٱلرَّمْلِ. | ١٢ |
13 He went out the second day, and look, two men of the Hebrews were fighting with each other. He said to him who did the wrong, "Why do you strike your fellow?"
| ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّانِي وَإِذَا رَجُلَانِ عِبْرَانِيَّانِ يَتَخَاصَمَانِ، فَقَالَ لِلْمُذْنِبِ: «لِمَاذَا تَضْرِبُ صَاحِبَكَ؟» | ١٣ |
14 He said, "Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you plan to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?" Moses was afraid, and said, "Surely this thing is known."
| فَقَالَ: «مَنْ جَعَلَكَ رَئِيسًا وَقَاضِيًا عَلَيْنَا؟ أَمُفْتَكِرٌ أَنْتَ بِقَتْلِي كَمَا قَتَلْتَ ٱلْمِصْرِيَّ؟». فَخَافَ مُوسَى وَقَالَ: «حَقًّا قَدْ عُرِفَ ٱلْأَمْرُ». | ١٤ |
15 Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to kill Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and lived in the land of Midian, and he sat down by a well.
| فَسَمِعَ فِرْعَوْنُ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ، فَطَلَبَ أَنْ يَقْتُلَ مُوسَى. فَهَرَبَ مُوسَى مِنْ وَجْهِ فِرْعَوْنَ وَسَكَنَ فِي أَرْضِ مِدْيَانَ، وَجَلَسَ عِنْدَ ٱلْبِئْرِ. | ١٥ |
16 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters. They came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.
| وَكَانَ لِكَاهِنِ مِدْيَانَ سَبْعُ بَنَاتٍ، فَأَتَيْنَ وَٱسْتَقَيْنَ وَمَلَأْنَ ٱلْأَجْرَانَ لِيَسْقِينَ غَنَمَ أَبِيهِنَّ. | ١٦ |
17 The shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses stood up and helped them, and drew water for them, and watered their flock.
| فَأَتَى ٱلرُّعَاةُ وَطَرَدُوهُنَّ. فَنَهَضَ مُوسَى وَأَنْجَدَهُنَّ وَسَقَى غَنَمَهُنَّ. | ١٧ |
18 When they came to Reuel, their father, he said, "How is it that you have returned so early today?"
| فَلَمَّا أَتَيْنَ إِلَى رَعُوئِيلَ أَبِيهِنَّ قَالَ: «مَا بَالُكُنَّ أَسْرَعْتُنَّ فِي ٱلْمَجِيءِ ٱلْيَوْمَ؟» | ١٨ |
19 They said, "An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and moreover he drew water for us, and watered the flock."
| فَقُلْنَ: «رَجُلٌ مِصْرِيٌّ أَنْقَذَنَا مِنْ أَيْدِي ٱلرُّعَاةِ، وَإِنَّهُ ٱسْتَقَى لَنَا أَيْضًا وَسَقَى ٱلْغَنَمَ». | ١٩ |
20 He said to his daughters, "Where is he? Why is it that you have left the man? Call him, that he may eat bread."
| فَقَالَ لِبَنَاتِهِ: «وَأَيْنَ هُوَ؟ لِمَاذَا تَرَكْتُنَّ ٱلرَّجُلَ؟ ٱدْعُونَهُ لِيَأْكُلَ طَعَامًا». | ٢٠ |
21 And Moses was content to dwell with the man. And he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter in marriage.
| فَٱرْتَضَى مُوسَى أَنْ يَسْكُنَ مَعَ ٱلرَّجُلِ، فَأَعْطَى مُوسَى صَفُّورَةَ ٱبْنَتَهُ. | ٢١ |
22 She bore a son, and he named him Gershom, for he said, "I have lived as a foreigner in a foreign land."
| فَوَلَدَتِ ٱبْنًا فَدَعَا ٱسْمَهُ «جَرْشُومَ»، لِأَنَّهُ قَالَ: «كُنْتُ نَزِيلًا فِي أَرْضٍ غَرِيبَةٍ». | ٢٢ |
23 It happened in the course of those many days, that the king of Egypt died, and the children of Israel sighed because of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up to God because of the bondage.
| وَحَدَثَ فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلْكَثِيرَةِ أَنَّ مَلِكَ مِصْرَ مَاتَ. وَتَنَهَّدَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنَ ٱلْعُبُودِيَّةِ وَصَرَخُوا، فَصَعِدَ صُرَاخُهُمْ إِلَى ٱللهِ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْعُبُودِيَّةِ. | ٢٣ |
24 God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
| فَسَمِعَ ٱللهُ أَنِينَهُمْ، فَتَذَكَّرَ ٱللهُ مِيثَاقَهُ مَعَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ. | ٢٤ |
25 God saw the children of Israel, and God took notice.
| وَنَظَرَ ٱللهُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَعَلِمَ ٱللهُ. | ٢٥ |
