1 A nd Jehovah spake unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, Let my people go, that they may serve me.

فَقالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى: «اذْهَبْ إلَى فِرعَوْنَ وَقُلْ لَهُ: ‹هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ اللهُ: أطلِقْ شَعبِي كَي يَعبُدَنِي.

2 A nd if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs:

فَإنْ رَفَضْتَ أنْ تُطلِقَهُمْ، سَأضرِبُ كُلَّ أرْضِكَ بِالضَّفادِعِ.

3 a nd the river shall swarm with frogs, which shall go up and come into thy house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneading-troughs:

سَيَمتَلِئُ النِّيلُ بِالضَّفادِعِ. وَسَتَصعَدُ الضَّفادِعُ إلَى بَيتِكَ وَغُرفَةِ نَومِكَ وَعَلَى سَرِيرِكَ وَإلَى بُيُوتِ خُدّامِكَ، وَعَلَى شَعبِكَ وَإلَى أفرانِكَ وَآنِيَتِكَ.

4 a nd the frogs shall come up both upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants.

فَتَأْتِي الضَّفادِعُ عَلَيكَ وَعَلَى شَعبِكَ وَعَلَى كُلِّ خُدّامِكَ.›»

5 A nd Jehovah said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth thy hand with thy rod over the rivers, over the streams, and over the pools, and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt.

وَقالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى: «قُلْ لِهارُونَ: ‹مُدَّ يَدَكَ بِعَصاكَ عَلَى الأنهارِ وَالجَداوِلِ وَالبِرَكِ، وَأخرِجْ ضَفادِعَ لِتَنتَشِرَ عَلَى أرْضِ مِصرَ.›»

6 A nd Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.

فَمَدَّ هارُونُ يَدَهُ عَلَى مِياهِ مِصرَ، فَخَرَجَتِ الضَّفادِعُ وَغَطَّتْ أرْضَ مِصرَ.

7 A nd the magicians did in like manner with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt.

وَلَكِنَّ السَّحَرَةَ عَمِلُوا الأمرَ ذاتَهُ بِسِحرِهِمْ، وَأخرَجُوا ضَفادِعَ عَلَى أرْضِ مِصرَ.

8 T hen Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Entreat Jehovah, that he take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice unto Jehovah.

فَاسْتَدعَى فِرعَوْنُ مُوسَى وَهارُونَ وَقالَ لَهُما: «صَلِّيا إلَى اللهِ أنْ يُزِيلَ الضَّفادِعَ عَنِّي وَعَنْ شَعبِي، حِينَئِذٍ، سَأُطلِقُ الشَّعبَ لِيُقَدِّمُوا ذَبائِحَ للهِ.»

9 A nd Moses said unto Pharaoh, Have thou this glory over me: against what time shall I entreat for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, that the frogs be destroyed from thee and thy houses, and remain in the river only?

فَقالَ مُوسَى لِفِرعَونَ: «أنتَ تُقَرِّرُ مَتَى أُصَلِّي لِأجلِكَ وَلِأجلِ خُدّامِكَ وَشَعبِكَ لإزالَةِ الضَّفادِعِ عَنكَ وَعَنْ بُيُوتِكَ. لَكِنْ سَتَبْقَى الضَّفادِعُ فِي النِّيلِ فَقَطْ.»

10 A nd he said, Against to-morrow. And he said, Be it according to thy word; that thou mayest know that there is none like unto Jehovah our God.

فَقالَ فِرعَوْنُ: «غَداً.» فَأجابَ مُوسَى: «كَما تَقُولُ، كَي تَعرِفَ أنَّهُ لَيسَ مِثلَ يهوه إلَهِنا.

11 A nd the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy houses, and from thy servants, and from thy people; they shall remain in the river only.

سَتَزُولُ الضَّفادِعُ عَنكَ وَعَنْ بُيُوتِكَ وَعَنْ خُدّامِكَ وَعَنْ شَعبِكَ، وَسَتَبقَى فِي النِّيلِ.»

12 A nd Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried unto Jehovah concerning the frogs which he had brought upon Pharaoh.

فَخَرَجَ مُوسَى وَهارُونُ مِنْ عِنْدِ فِرعَوْنَ. وَصَرَخَ مُوسَى إلَى اللهِ بِشَأْنِ الضَّفادِعِ الَّتِي أرْسَلَها اللهُ عَلَى فِرعَوْنَ.

13 A nd Jehovah did according to the word of Moses; and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the courts, and out of the fields.

فَاسْتَجابَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى. وَماتَتِ الضَّفادِعُ فِي البُيُوتِ وَالسّاحاتِ وَالحُقُولِ.

14 A nd they gathered them together in heaps; and the land stank.

فَجُمِعَتْ فِي أكوامٍ كَثِيرَةٍ حَتَّى صارَتْ رائِحَةُ الأرْضِ كَريهَةً جِدّاً.

15 B ut when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto them, as Jehovah had spoken.

لَكِنْ حِينَ رَأى فِرعَوْنُ أنَّهُ صارَ هُناكَ فَرَجٌ، قَسَّى قَلبَهُ، وَلَمْ يَستَمِعْ إلَيهِما كَما قَالَ اللهُ. القَمل

16 A nd Jehovah said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy rod, and smite the dust of the earth, that is may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt.

وَقالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى: «قُلْ لِهارُونَ: ‹مُدَّ عَصاكَ وَاضْرِبْ تُرابَ الأرْضِ فَيَصِيرَ قَملاً فِي كُلِّ أرْضِ مِصرَ.›»

17 A nd they did so; and Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and there were lice upon man, and upon beast; all the dust of the earth became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.

فَعَمِلا بِحَسَبِ قَولِهِ. مَدَّ هارُونُ عَصاهُ بِيَدِهِ، وَضَرَبَ تُرابَ الأرْضِ الَّذِي صارَ قَملاً عَلَى النّاسِ وَالحَيواناتِ. كُلُّ تُرابِ الأرْضِ صارَ قَملاً فِي كُلِّ أرْضِ مِصْرَ.

18 A nd the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not: and there were lice upon man, and upon beast.

وَحاوَلَ السَّحَرَةُ أنْ يُخْرِجُوا القَملَ بِسِحْرِهِمْ، فَلَمْ يَقْدِرُوا، بَلِ انتَشَرَ القَملُ عَلَى النّاسِ وَالحَيَواناتِ.

19 T hen the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This is the finger of God: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as Jehovah had spoken.

وَقالَ السَّحَرَةُ: «هَذا إصْبِعُ اللهِ.» لَكِنَّ فِرعَوْنَ تَقَسَّى قَلبُهُ وَلَمْ يَستَمِعْ لَهُمْ كَما قالَ اللهُ. الذُّباب

20 A nd Jehovah said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; lo, he cometh forth to the water; and say unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, Let my people go, that they may serve me.

وَقالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى: «اذْهَبْ وَقِفْ أمامَ فِرعَوْنَ فِي الصَّباحِ حِينَ يَخرُجُ إلَى الماءِ، وَقُلْ لَهُ: ‹يَقُولُ اللهُ لَكَ أطلِقْ شَعبِيَ لِيَعبُدَنِي.

21 E lse, if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies upon thee, and upon they servants, and upon thy people, and into thy houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground whereon they are.

فَإنْ لَمْ تُطلِقْ شَعبِي، سَأُرسِلُ أسراباً مِنَ الذُّبابِ عَلَيكَ وَعَلَى خُدّامِكَ وَعَلَى شَعبِكَ وَعَلَى بَيتِكَ. سَتَمتَلِئُ بُيُوتُ مِصرَ بِأسرابِ الذُّبابِ، وَكَذَلِكَ الأرْضُ الَّتِي تَسكُنُها.

22 A nd I will set apart in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end thou mayest know that I am Jehovah in the midst of the earth.

لَكِنْ فِي ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ، سَأُمَيِّزُ أرْضَ جاسانَ حَيثُ يُقِيمُ شَعبِي، فَلَنْ تَأْتِيَ أسرابُ الذُّبابِ هُناكَ، كَي تَعرِفَ أنِّي أنا اللهُ المُتَسَيِّدُ فِي وَسَطِ هَذِهِ الأرْضِ.

23 A nd I will put a division between my people and thy people: by to-morrow shall this sign be.

سَأُمَيِّزُ بَينَ شَعبِي وَشَعبِكَ، وَسَيحدُثُ هَذا غَداً بُرهاناً لَكَ.›»

24 A nd Jehovah did so; and there came grievous swarms of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants' houses: and in all the land of Egypt the land was corrupted by reason of the swarms of flies.

وَاسْتَجابَ اللهُ لِقَولِهِ، فَأتَتْ أسرابٌ مِنَ الذُّبابِ عَلَى بَيتِ فِرعَوْنَ وَبُيُوتِ خُدّامِهِ وَعَلَى كُلِّ أرْضِ مِصرَ. وَخَرِبَتِ الأرْضُ بِسَبَبِ أسرابِ الذُّبابِ.

25 A nd Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go ye, sacrifice to your God in the land.

حِينَئِذٍ، استَدعَى فِرعَوْنُ مُوسَى وَهارُونَ، وَقالَ لَهُما: «قَدِّمُوا ذَبائِحَ لإلَهِكُمْ هُنا فِي هَذِهِ الأرْضِ.»

26 A nd Moses said, It is not meet so to do; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to Jehovah our God: lo, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and will they not stone us?

لَكِنَّ مُوسَى قالَ: «لا يَصلُحُ أنْ نَفعَلَ هَذا. لأنَّنا سَنَذْبَحُ لإلَهِنا ما يُحَرِّمُهُ المِصرِيُونَ. إنْ ذَبَحْنا أمامَ عُيُونِهِم ما يُحَرِّمُونَ ذَبْحَهُ، سَيَرْجُمُونَنا!

27 W e will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to Jehovah our God, as he shall command us.

لا بُدَّ أنْ نَسِيرَ فِي رِحلَةٍ لِثَلاثَةِ أيّامٍ، وَنُقَدِّمُ هُناكَ الذَّبائِحَ لإلَهِنا كَما أمَرَنا.»

28 A nd Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice to Jehovah your God in the wilderness; only ye shall not go very far away: entreat for me.

فَقالَ فِرعَوْنُ: «سَأُطلِقُكُمْ لِتُقَدِّمُوا ذَبائِحَ ليهوه إلَهِكُمْ فِي البَرِّيَّةِ، لَكِنْ لا تَبتَعِدُوا! وَصَلِّيا لِأجلِيَ.»

29 A nd Moses said, Behold, I go out from thee, and I will entreat Jehovah that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, to-morrow: only let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to Jehovah.

فَقالَ مُوسَى: «فَوْرَ خُرُوجِي مِنْ عِنْدِكَ سَأُصَلِّي إلَى اللهِ ، فَتَزُولُ أسرابُ الذُّبابِ عَنْ فِرعَوْنَ وَخُدّامِهِ وَشَعبِهِ غَداً. لَكِنْ أرجُو مِنْ فِرعَوْنَ أنْ لا يَخدَعَنا ثانيَةً بِعَدَمِ إطلاقِهِ لِلشَّعبِ لِيُقَدِّمُوا ذَبائِحَ للهِ.»

30 A nd Moses went out from Pharaoh, and entreated Jehovah.

وَخَرَجَ مُوسَى مِنْ مَحضَرِ فِرعَوْنَ وَصَلَّى إلَى اللهِ.

31 A nd Jehovah did according to the word of Moses; and he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; there remained not one.

وَاستَجابَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى، فَأزالَ أسرابَ الذُّبابِ عَنْ فِرعَوْنَ وَخُدّامِهِ وَشَعبِهِ، حَتَّى لَمْ تَبْقَ ذُبابَةٌ واحِدَةٌ.

32 A nd Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also, and he did not let the people go.

لَكِنَّ فِرعَوْنَ قَسَّى قَلْبَهُ هَذِهِ المَرَّةَ أيضاً، وَلَمْ يُطلِقِ الشَّعبَ.
