Exodus 33
1 The LORD spoke to Moses, “Depart, go up from here, you and the people that you have brought up out of the land of Egypt, to the land of which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, ‘I will give it to your offspring.’
| وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «اتْرُكْ هَذَا الْمَكَانَ أَنْتَ وَالشَّعْبُ الَّذِي أَصْعَدْتَهُ مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ، وَامْضِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَقْسَمْتُ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ قَائِلاً: سَأَهَبُهَا لِنَسْلِكَ. | ١ |
2 I will send an angel before you; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
| وَسَأُرْسِلُ أَمَامَكَ مَلاكاً، وَأَطْرُدُ الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ وَالأَمُورِيِّينَ وَالْحِثِّيِّينَ وَالْفَرِزِّيِّينَ وَالْحِوِّيِّينَ وَالْيَبُوسِيِّينَ. | ٢ |
3 Go to a land flowing with milk and honey; but I will not go up among you, for you are a stiff-necked people, lest I consume you on the way.”
| إِنَّهَا أَرْضٌ تَفِيضُ لَبَناً وَعَسَلاً. أَمَّا أَنَا فَلَنْ أَسِيرَ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ لأَنَّكُمْ شَعْبٌ مُتَصَلِّبُ الْقَلْبِ لِئَلّا أَفْنِيَكُمْ فِي الطَّرِيقِ». | ٣ |
4 When the people heard this evil news, they mourned; and no one put on his jewelry.
| فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ الْشَّعْبُ هَذَا الْكَلامَ الْقَاسِي، شَرَعُوا فِي النَّوْحِ، وَلَمْ يَتَزَيَّنْ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ. | ٤ |
5 The LORD had said to Moses, “Tell the children of Israel, ‘You are a stiff-necked people. If I were to go up among you for one moment, I would consume you. Therefore now take off your jewelry from you, that I may know what to do to you.’”
| وَكَانَ الرَّبُّ قَدْ قَالَ لِمُوسَى: «قُلْ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْتُمْ شَعْبٌ مُتَصَلِّبُ الْقَلْبِ، لِهَذَا إِنْ بَقِيتُ لَحْظَةً وَاحِدَةً فِي وَسَطِكُمْ أَفْنِيكُمْ. وَلَكِنِ الْآنَ انْزَعُوا زِينَتَكُمْ عَنْكُمْ إِلَى أَنْ أَتَّخِذَ قَرَارِي بِشَأْنِكُمْ». | ٥ |
6 The children of Israel stripped themselves of their jewelry from Mount Horeb onward.
| فَخَلَعَ الشَّعْبُ زِينَتَهُمْ عِنْدَ جَبَلِ حُورِيبَ. | ٦ |
7 Now Moses used to take the tent and pitch it outside the camp, far away from the camp, and he called it “The Tent of Meeting.” Everyone who sought the LORD went out to the Tent of Meeting, which was outside the camp.
| وَأَخَذَ مُوسَى خَيْمَةً وَنَصَبَهَا بَعِيداً خَارِجَ الْمُخَيَّمِ، وَدَعَاهَا خَيْمَةَ الاجْتِمَاعِ. فَكَانَ كُلُّ مُلْتَمِسٍ لِلرَّبِّ يَسْعَى إِلَى خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ الْقَائِمَةِ خَارِجَ الْمُخَيَّمِ. | ٧ |
8 When Moses went out to the Tent, all the people rose up, and stood, everyone at their tent door, and watched Moses, until he had gone into the Tent.
| وَكُلَّمَا مَضَى مُوسَى إِلَى الْخَيْمَةِ، كَانَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَ الشَّعْبِ يَقِفُ فِي بَابِ خَيْمَتِهِ، وَيُتَابِعُونَهُ بِأَنْظَارِهِمْ إِلَى أَنْ يَدْخُلَهَا. | ٨ |
9 When Moses entered into the Tent, the pillar of cloud descended, stood at the door of the Tent, and the LORD spoke with Moses.
| وَمَا إِنْ يَتَوَارَى مُوسَى فِيهَا، حَتَّى يَنْزِلَ عَمُودُ السَّحَابِ وَيَقِفَ عِنْدَ مَدْخَلِهَا، فَيَتَكَلَّمُ الرَّبُّ مَعَ مُوسَى، | ٩ |
10 All the people saw the pillar of cloud stand at the door of the Tent, and all the people rose up and worshiped, everyone at their tent door.
| فَيُشَاهِدُ جَمِيعُ الشَّعْبِ عَمُودَ السَّحَابِ وَاقِفاً عِنْدَ بَابِ الْخَيْمَةِ، فَيَسْجُدُونَ لِلرَّبِّ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ أَمَامَ بَابِ خَيْمَتِهِ، | ١٠ |
11 The LORD spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. He turned again into the camp, but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, didn’t depart from the Tent.
| فَكَانَ الرَّبُّ يُكَلِّمُ مُوسَى وَجْهاً لِوَجْهٍ كَمَا يُكَلِّمُ الإِنْسَانُ صَاحِبَهُ. وَإذَا رَجَعَ مُوسَى إِلَى الْمُخَيَّمِ، كَانَ خَادِمُهُ الشَّابُ يَشُوعُ بْنُ نُونَ يَمْكُثُ دَاخِلَ الْخَيْمَةِ. | ١١ |
12 Moses said to the LORD, “Behold, you tell me, ‘Bring up this people;’ and you haven’t let me know whom you will send with me. Yet you have said, ‘I know you by name, and you have also found favor in my sight.’
| وَقَالَ مُوسَى لِلرَّبَّ: «هَا أَنْتَ قَدْ قُلْتَ لِي: قُدْ هَذَا الشَّعْبَ، وَلَكِنْ لَمْ تُعْلِمْنِي مَنْ سَتُرْسِلُ مَعِي. ثُمَّ قُلْتَ: إِنِّي عَرَفْتُكَ بِاسْمِكَ وَحَظِيتَ بِرِضَايْ. | ١٢ |
13 Now therefore, if I have found favor in your sight, please show me your way, now, that I may know you, so that I may find favor in your sight; and consider that this nation is your people.”
| فَالآنَ إِنْ كُنْتُ حَقّاً قَدْ حَظِيتُ بِرِضَاكَ، فَأَرْشِدْنِي إِلَى طَرِيقِكَ لِكَيْ أَسْلُكَ حَسَبَ قَصْدِكَ، وَأَحْظَى بِمَسَرَّتِكَ، وَاذْكُرْ أَيْضاً أَنَّ هَذِهِ الأُمَّةَ هِيَ شَعْبُكَ». | ١٣ |
14 He said, “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”
| فَأَجَابَهُ: «إِنِّي أُرَافِقُكَ فَأُرِيحُكَ». | ١٤ |
15 Moses said to him, “If your presence doesn’t go with me, don’t carry us up from here.
| فَقَالَ مُوسَى: «إِنْ لَمْ تُرَافِقْنَا، فَلا تُصْعِدْنَا مِنْ هُنَا، | ١٥ |
16 For how would people know that I have found favor in your sight, I and your people? Isn’t it that you go with us, so that we are separated, I and your people, from all the people who are on the surface of the earth?”
| إِذْ كَيْفَ يُدْرَكُ أَنَّنِي وَشَعْبَكَ قَدْ حَظِينَا بِرِضَاكَ؟ أَلَيْسَ بِمُرَافَقَتِكَ لَنَا، فَنَتَمَيَّزُ أَنَا وَشَعْبُكَ بِذَلِكَ عَنْ جَمِيعِ الشُّعُوبِ السَّاكِنِينَ فِي الأَرْضِ؟» | ١٦ |
17 The LORD said to Moses, “I will do this thing also that you have spoken; for you have found favor in my sight, and I know you by name.”
| فَأَجَابَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى: «سَأَفْعَلُ عَيْنَ هَذَا الأَمْرِ الَّذِي الْتَمَسْتَهُ. لأَنَّكَ حَظِيتَ بِرِضَايْ وَأَنَا عَرَفْتُكَ بِاسْمِكَ». | ١٧ |
18 Moses said, “Please show me your glory.”
| وَقَالَ مُوسَى: «أَرِنِي مَجْدَكَ». | ١٨ |
19 He said, “I will make all my goodness pass before you, and will proclaim the LORD’s name before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.”
| فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ: «أُجِيزُ إِحْسَانَاتِي أَمَامَكَ، وَأُذِيعُ اسْمِي (الرَّبَّ) أَمَامَكَ. أُغْدِقُ رَأْفَتِي عَلَى مَنْ أَشَاءُ وَرَحْمَتِي عَلَى مَنْ أُرِيدُ»، | ١٩ |
20 He said, “You cannot see my face, for man may not see me and live.”
| وَأَضَافَ: «وَلَكِنَّكَ لَنْ تَرَى وَجْهِي، لأَنَّ الإِنْسَانَ الَّذِي يَرَانِي لَا يَعِيشُ». | ٢٠ |
21 The LORD also said, “Behold, there is a place by me, and you shall stand on the rock.
| ثُمَّ قَالَ الرَّبُّ: «لَدَيَّ مَكَانٌ قَرِيبٌ مِنِّي. فَقِفْ عَلَى الصَّخْرَةِ، | ٢١ |
22 It will happen, while my glory passes by, that I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and will cover you with my hand until I have passed by;
| وَعِنْدَمَا يَعْبُرُ مَجْدِي، أَضَعُكَ فِي نُقْرَةٍ مِنَ الصَّخْرِ، وَأَحْجُبُكَ بِيَدِي حَتَّى أَعْبُرَ، | ٢٢ |
23 then I will take away my hand, and you will see my back; but my face shall not be seen.”
| ثُمَّ أَرْفَعُ يَدِي فَتَنْظُرُ وَرَائِي، أَمَّا وَجْهِي فَيَظَلُّ مَحْجُوباً عَنِ الْعِيَانِ». | ٢٣ |
