Exodus 2
1 And there went a man of the house of Levi, and married a daughter of Levi.
| وَتَزَوَّجَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَيْتِ لاوِي فَتَاةً ابْنَةَ لاوِي. | ١ |
2 And the woman conceived, and bore a son: and when she saw him that he [was a] goodly [child], she hid him three months.
| فَحَمَلَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ وَأَنْجَبَتِ ابْناً، وَإذْ رَاقَهَا جَمَالُهُ خَبَّأَتْهُ ثَلاثَةَ أَشْهُرٍ. | ٢ |
3 And when she could no longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid [it] in the flags by the river's brink.
| وَلَمَّا لَمْ تَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ تُخْفِيَهُ بَعْدُ، أَتَتْ بِسَلَّةٍ مِنَ الْبَرْدِيِّ وَطَلَتْهَا بِالْحُمَرِ والزِّفْتِ وأَضْجَعَتِ الطِّفْلَ وَوَضَعَتْهُ بَيْنَ الْحَلْفَاءِ عَلَى ضَفَّةِ النَّهْرِ. | ٣ |
4 And his sister stood afar off, to know what would be done to him.
| وَوَقَفَتْ أُخْتُهُ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ لِتَرَى مَا يَحْدُثُ لَهُ. | ٤ |
5 And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash [herself] at the river, and her maidens walked along by the river's side: and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it.
| وَأَقْبَلَتِ ابْنَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ لِتَسْتَحِمَّ فِي النَّهْرِ، بَيْنَمَا رَاحَتْ وَصِيفَاتُهَا تَتَمَشَّيْنَ عَلَى ضَفَّةِ النَّهْرِ. فَرَأَتِ السَّلَّةَ بَيْنَ الْحَلْفَاءِ فَأَرْسَلَتْ وَصِيفَتَهَا لِتَأْتِيَ بِها. | ٥ |
6 And when she had opened [it], she saw the child: and behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This [is one] of the Hebrews' children.
| فَفَتَحَتْهَا وَرَأَتِ الطِّفْلَ وَإذَا هُوَ يَبْكِي، فَرَقَّتْ لَهُ وَقَالَتْ: «هَذَا مِنْ أَوْلادِ الْعِبْرَانِيِّينَ» | ٦ |
7 Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go, and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?
| فَقَالَتْ أُخْتُهُ لاِبْنَةِ فِرْعَوْنَ: «هَلْ أَذْهَبُ وَأَدْعُو لَكِ مُرْضِعَةً مِنَ الْعِبْرَانِيَّاتِ لِتُرْضِعَ لَكِ الْوَلَدَ؟» | ٧ |
8 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child's mother.
| فَأَجَابَتْهَا ابْنَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ: «اذْهَبِي»؛ فَمَضَتِ الْفَتَاةُ وَدَعَتْ أَمَّ الصَّبِيِّ. | ٨ |
9 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Take this child away and nurse it for me, and I will give [thee] thy wages. And the woman took the child and nursed it.
| فَقَالَتْ لَهَا ابْنَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ: «خُذِي هَذَا الصَّبِيَّ وَأَرْضِعِيهِ لِي، وَأَنَا أُعْطِيكِ أُجْرَتَكِ». فَأَخَذَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ الصَّبِيَّ وَأَرْضَعَتْهُ. | ٩ |
10 And the child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water.
| وَلَمَّا كَبُرَ الْوَلَدُ، رَدَّتْهُ إِلَى ابْنَةِ فِرْعَوْنَ فَتَبَنَّتْهُ وَدَعَتْهُ مُوسَى (وَمَعْنَاهُ مُنْتَشَلٌ) قَائِلَةً: «إِنِّي انْتَشَلْتُهُ مِنَ الْمَاءِ». | ١٠ |
11 And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out to his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he spied an Egyptian smiting a Hebrew, one of his brethren.
| وَحَدَثَ بَعْدَ أَنْ كَبُرَ مُوسَى أَنَّهُ ذَهَبَ لِيَفْتَقِدَ إِخْوَتَهُ الْعِبْرَانِيِّينَ وَيَشْهَدَ مَشَقَّتَهُمْ، فَلَمَحَ رَجُلاً مِصْرِيًّا يَضْرِبُ رَجُلاً عِبْرَانِيًّا، | ١١ |
12 And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that [there was] no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
| فَتَلَفَّتَ حَوْلَهُ، وَإِذْ لَمْ يَجِدْ أَحَداً هُنَاكَ قَتَلَ الْمِصْرِيَّ وَطَمَرَهُ فِي الرَّمْلِ. | ١٢ |
13 And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Why smitest thou thy fellow?
| ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّانِي وَإذَا رَجُلانِ عِبْرَانِيَّانِ يَتَضَارَبَانِ، فَقَالَ لِلْمُسِيءِ: «لِمَاذَا تَضْرِبُ صَاحِبَكَ؟» | ١٣ |
14 And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? intendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely this thing is known.
| فَأَجَابَهُ: «مَنْ أَقَامَكَ رَئِيساً وَقَاضِياً عَلَيْنَا؟ أَعَازِمٌ أَنْتَ عَلَى قَتْلِي كَمَا قَتَلْتَ الْمِصْرِيَّ؟» فَخَافَ مُوسَى وَقَالَ: «حَقّاً إِنَّ الْخَبَرَ قَدْ ذَاعَ». | ١٤ |
15 Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian: and he sat down by a well.
| وَبَلَغَ الْخَبَرُ مَسْمَعَ فِرْعَوْنَ، فَسَعَى إِلَى قَتْلِ مُوسَى، إلّا أَنَّ مُوسَى هَرَبَ مِنْ وَجْهِ فِرْعَوْنَ، وَمَضَى لِيُقِيمَ فِي أَرْضِ مِدْيَانَ، فَبَلَغَهَا وَجَلَسَ عِنْدَ الْبِئْرِ. | ١٥ |
16 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came and drew [water], and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.
| وَكَانَ لِكَاهِنِ مِدْيَانَ سَبْعُ فَتَيَاتٍ فَأَقْبَلْنَ وَاسْتَقَيْنَ مَاءً وَمَلأْنَ الأَجْرَانَ لِيَسْقِينَ غَنَمَ أَبِيهِنَّ. | ١٦ |
17 And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.
| فَأَتَى الرُّعَاةُ وَطَرَدُوهُنَّ. غَيْرَ أَنَّ مُوسَى هَبَّ لِنَجْدَتِهِنَّ وَسَقَى غَنَمَهُنَّ. | ١٧ |
18 And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How [is it that] you are come so soon to day?
| وَعِنْدَمَا رَجَعَتِ الْفَتَيَاتُ إِلَى رَعُوئِيلَ أَبِيهِنَّ سَأَلَهُنَّ: «مَا بَالُكُنَّ بَكَّرْتُنَّ بِالرُّجُوعِ الْيَوْمَ؟» | ١٨ |
19 And they said, An Egyptian delivered us from the hand of the shepherds, and also drew [water] enough for us, and watered the flock.
| فَأَجَبْنَهُ: «رَجُلٌ مِصْرِيٌّ أَنْقَذَنَا مِنْ أَيْدِي الرُّعَاةِ، فَاسْتَقَى لَنَا وَلِغَنَمِنَا أَيْضاً». | ١٩ |
20 And he said to his daughters, And where [is] he? why [is] it [that] ye have left the man? call him, that he may eat bread.
| فَسَأَلَهُنَّ: «وَأَيْنَ هُوَ؟ لِمَاذَا تَرَكْتُنَّ الرَّجُلَ؟ ادْعُونَهُ لِيَأْكُلَ طَعَاماً». | ٢٠ |
21 And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter.
| وَقَبِلَ مُوسَى أنْ يُقِيمَ مَعَ الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي زَوَّجَهُ مِنِ ابْنَتِهِ صَفُّورَةَ. | ٢١ |
22 And she bore [him] a son, and he called his name Gershom: for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land.
| فَأَنْجَبَتْ لَهُ ابْناً دَعَاهُ جِرْشُومَ (وَمَعْنَاهُ غَرِيبٌ) إِذْ قَالَ: «كُنْتُ نَزِيلاً فِي أَرْضٍ غَرِيبَةٍ». | ٢٢ |
23 And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried; and their cry ascended to God, by reason of the bondage.
| وَبَعْدَ مُرُورِ حِقْبَةٍ طَوِيلَةٍ مَاتَ مَلِكُ مِصْرَ. وَارْتَفَعَ أَنِينُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَصُرَاخُهُمْ مِنْ وَطْأَةِ الْعُبُودِيَّةِ، وَصَعِدَ إِلَى اللهِ. | ٢٣ |
24 And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
| فَأَصْغَى اللهُ إِلَى أَنِينِهِمْ، وَتَذَكَّرَ عَهْدَهُ مَعَ إِبرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ. | ٢٤ |
25 And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect to [them].
| وَنَظَرَ اللهُ إِلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ (وَرَقَّ لِحَالِهِمْ). | ٢٥ |
