1 A nd Jehovah said to Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith Jehovah the God of the Hebrews: Let my people go, that they may serve me.

وَقالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى: «اذْهَبْ إلَى فِرعَوْنَ وَقُلْ لَهُ: هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ يهوه إلَهُ العِبرانِيِّينَ: ‹أطلِقْ شَعبِي لِيَعبُدَنِي.

2 F or if thou refuse to let them go, and shalt retain them still,

فَإنْ رَفَضْتَ أنْ تُطلِقَهُمْ وَأطَلْتَ احتِجازَهُمْ،

3 b ehold, the hand of Jehovah shall be on thy cattle which is in the field, on the horses, on the asses, on the camels, on the oxen and on the sheep, with a very grievous plague.

فَإنَّ يَدَ اللهِ سَتَكُونُ ضِدَّ مَواشِيَكَ الَّتِي فِي الحَقلِ، ضِدَّ الخَيلِ وَالحَمِيرِ وَالجِمالِ وَالبَقَرِ وَالغَنَمِ، إذْ سَأضْرِبُها بِمَرَضٍ شَدِيدٍ.

4 A nd Jehovah will distinguish between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt; and there shall nothing die of all that the children of Israel have.

لَكِنَّ اللهَ سَيُمَيِّزُ بَينَ مَواشِيَ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ وَمَواشِيَ مِصْرَ، إذْ لَنْ يَمُوتَ رَأْسٌ مِنْ مَواشِي بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ.

5 A nd Jehovah appointed a set time, saying, To-morrow will Jehovah do this thing in the land.

قَدْ حَدَّدَ اللهُ وَقتاً فَقالَ: غَداً سَأفعَلُ هَذا الأمرَ فِي الأرْضِ.›»

6 A nd Jehovah did this thing on the following day, and all the cattle of Egypt died; but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one.

وَقَدْ صَنَعَ اللهُ هَذا الأمرَ فِي اليَومِ التّالِي، فَماتَتْ كُلُّ مَواشِي مِصرَ، لَكِنْ لَمْ يَمُتْ رَأْسٌ مِنْ مَواشِي بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ.

7 A nd Pharaoh sent, and behold, there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go.

لَكِنْ لَمّا استَخبَرَ فِرعَوْنُ عَمَّا حَدَثَ، وَوَجَدَ أنَّهُ لَمْ يَمُتْ رَأْسٌ واحِدٌ مِنْ مَواشِي بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ، تَقَسَّى قَلْبُهُ وَلَمْ يَسمَحْ بِإطلاقِ الشَّعبِ. الدَّمامِل

8 A nd Jehovah said to Moses and to Aaron, Take to yourselves handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses scatter it toward the heavens before the eyes of Pharaoh.

وَقالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى وَهارُونَ: «خُذا حَفْنَةً مِنْ رَمادِ الفُرنِ، وَلْيَرمِها مُوسَى بِاتِّجاهِ السَّماءِ أمامَ فِرعَوْنَ،

9 A nd it shall become fine dust over all the land of Egypt, and shall become boils on man and on cattle, breaking out blisters, throughout the land of Egypt.

فَيَصِيرَ الرَّمادُ غُباراً عَلَى كُلِّ أرْضِ مِصرَ، وَيُسَبِّبُ دَمامِلَ مُتَقَيِّحَةً عَلَى النّاسِ وَالحَيواناتِ فِي كُلِّ أرْضِ مِصرَ.»

10 A nd they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it toward the heavens; and it became boils blisters breaking out on man and on cattle.

فَأخَذا رَماداً مِنَ الفُرنِ وَوَقَفا أمامَ فِرعَوْنَ. وَرَماهُ مُوسَى نَحوَ السَّماءِ، فَصارَ دَمامِلَ مُتَقَيِّحَةً عَلَى النّاسِ وَالحَيواناتِ.

11 A nd the scribes could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boils were on the scribes, and on all the Egyptians.

وَبِسَبَبِ الدَّمامِلِ، لَمْ يَستَطِعِ السَّحَرَةُ أنْ يَقِفُوا أمامَ مُوسَى لِيَتَحَدُّوهُ. لِأنَّ الدَّمامِلَ كانَتْ عَلَى السَّحَرَةِ وَعَلَى كُلِّ المِصرِيِّينَ.

12 A nd Jehovah made Pharaoh's heart stubborn, and he did not hearken to them, as Jehovah had told Moses.

لَكِنَّ اللهَ قَسَّى قَلبَ فِرعَوْنَ، وَلَمْ يَستَمِعْ إلَيهِما كَما قالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى. البَرَد

13 A nd Jehovah said to Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and set thyself before Pharaoh, and say to him, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews: Let my people go, that they may serve me.

وَقالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى: «اذْهَبْ وَقِفْ أمامَ فِرعَوْنَ فِي الصَّباحِ الباكِرِ وَقُلْ لَهُ: هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ يهوه إلَهُ العِبرانِيِّينَ: ‹أطلِقْ شَعبِي لِيَعْبُدَنِي.

14 F or I will at this time send all my plagues to thy heart, and on thy bondmen, and on thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth.

فَفِي هَذِهِ المَرَّةِ، سَأُرسِلُ كُلَّ أوبائِيَ الَّتِي سَتَكُونُ عِبئاً عَلَى قَلبِكَ وَعَلَى وُزَرائِكَ وَشَعبِكَ، كَي تَعرِفَ أنَّهُ لَيسَ هُناكَ مِثلِي فِي الأرْضِ.

15 F or now shall I put forth my hand, and I will smite thee and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth.

لِأنِّي كُنتُ أستَطِيعُ أنْ أمُدَّ يَدِي وَأضرِبَكَ وَأضرِبَ شَعبَكَ بِالوَباءِ، فَتُقطَعُونَ مِنَ أرْضِكُمْ.

16 A nd for this very cause have I raised thee up, to shew thee my power; and that my name may be declared in all the earth.

لَكِنَّنِي أبقَيتُكَ لِأُظهِرَ لَكَ قُوَّتِي، وَلِكَي أجعَلَ اسْمِي مَعرُوفاً فِي كُلِّ الأرْضِ.

17 D ost thou still exalt thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go?

وَما زِلْتَ تُضايِقُ شَعبِيَ وَلَمْ تُطلِقْهُمْ.

18 B ehold, to-morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since its foundation until now.

فِي الغَدِ، فِي مِثلِ هَذا الوَقتِ، سَآتِي بِبَرَدٍ ضَخمٍ لَمْ يَأْتِ مِثلُهُ عَلَى مِصرَ مِنْ وَقتِ تَأْسِيسِها وَحَتَّى الآنَ.

19 A nd now send, secure thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field: all the men and the cattle that are found in the field, and are not brought home—on them the hail shall come down, and they shall die.

فَضَعُوا مَواشِيَكُمْ وَكُلَّ ما لَكُمْ فِي الحَقلِ فِي حَظائِرَ مَسقُوفَةٍ. كُلُّ إنسانٍ أوْ حَيوانٍ فِي الحَقلِ لا يُؤتَى بِهِ إلَى الدّاخِلِ سَيَمُوتُ حِينَ يَسقُطُ البَرَدُ عَلَيهِ.›»

20 H e that feared the word of Jehovah among the bondmen of Pharaoh made his bondmen and his cattle flee into the houses.

وَكُلُّ خادِمٍ مِنْ خُدّامِ فِرعَوْنَ، خافَ كَلِمَةَ اللهِ ، أدخَلَ خُدّامَهُ وَمَواشِيَهُ إلَى الدّاخِلِ.

21 B ut he that did not regard the word of Jehovah left his bondmen and his cattle in the field.

لَكِنَّ الَّذِي تَجاهَلَ كَلِمَةَ اللهِ تَرَكَ خُدّامَهُ وَمَواشِيَهُ فِي الحَقلِ.

22 A nd Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand toward the heavens, that there may be hail throughout the land of Egypt, upon men, and upon cattle, and upon every herb of the field in the land of Egypt.

وَقالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى: «مُدَّ يَدَكَ نَحوَ السَّماءِ، لِيَأْتِيَ البَرَدُ عَلَى كُلِّ أرْضِ مِصرَ، وَعَلَى النّاسِ وَالحَيواناتِ وَكُلِّ نَباتاتِ الحَقلِ فِي أرْضِ مِصرَ.»

23 A nd Moses stretched out his staff toward the heavens, and Jehovah gave thunder and hail; and the fire ran along the ground; and Jehovah rained hail on the land of Egypt.

فَمَدَّ مُوسَى عَصاهُ نَحوَ السَّماءِ، فَأرسَلَ اللهُ رَعداً وَبَرقاً وَبَرَداً. أمطَرَ اللهُ بَرَداً عَلَى الأرْضِ.

24 A nd there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there had been none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.

كانَ هُناكَ بَرَدٌ مَعَ بَرْقٍ بِشَكلٍ مُستَمِرٍّ. كانَ شَدِيداً جِدّاً وَلَمْ يَأْتِ مِثلُهُ فِي كُلِّ أرْضِ مِصرَ مُنذُ أنْ سَكَنَها البَشَرُ.

25 A nd the hail smote throughout the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both men and cattle; and the hail smote every herb of the field, and broke every tree of the field.

وَضَرَبَ البَرَدُ كُلَّ ما فِي الحَقلِ مِنَ النّاسِ وَالحَيواناتِ فِي كُلِّ أرْضِ مِصرَ. وَضَرَبَ البَرَدُ كُلَّ النَّباتاتِ الَّتِي فِي الحَقلِ وَحَطَّمَ كُلَّ أشجارِ الحَقلِ.

26 O nly in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail.

لَكِنْ عَلَى أرْضِ جاسانَ، لَمْ يَأْتِ بَرَدٌ. وَهِيَ الأرْضُ الَّتِي سَكَنَها بَنُو إسْرائِيلَ.

27 A nd Pharaoh sent, and called Moses and Aaron, and said to them, I have sinned this time: Jehovah is the righteous, but I and my people are the wicked.

وَاستَدعَى فِرعَوْنُ مُوسَى وَهارُونَ وَقالَ لَهُما: «قَدْ أخطَأْتُ هَذِهِ المَرَّةَ. اللهُ هُوَ المُحِقُّ، وَأنا وَشَعبِي عَلَى خَطَأِ.

28 I ntreat Jehovah that it may be enough, that there be no more thunder of God and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer!

صَلِّيا للهِ ، يَكفِي ما نِلْناهُ مِنْ رَعدٍ وَبَرَدٍ. سَأُطلِقُكُمْ، وَلَنْ تَضْطَرُّوا لِلبَقاءِ أكثَرَ.»

29 A nd Moses said to him, When I go out of the city, I will spread out my hands to Jehovah: the thunder will cease, and there will be no more hail; that thou mayest know that the earth is Jehovah's.

فَقالَ مُوسَى لَهُ: «حِينَ أخرُجُ مِنَ المَدِينَةِ سأرْفَعُ يَدِيَّ للهِ ، فَيَتَوَقَّفُ الرَّعدُ وَلا يَبقَى بَرَدٌ، كَي تَعرِفَ أنَّ الأرْضَ للهِ.

30 B ut as to thee and thy bondmen, I know that ye do not yet fear Jehovah Elohim.

أمّا أنتَ وَخُدّامُكَ، فَأنا أعْرِفُ أنَّكُمْ لا تَخافُونَ اللهَ.»

31 A nd the flax and the barley were smitten; for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was bolled.

وَكانَ قَدْ تَلِفَ الكِتّانُ وَالشَّعِيرُ. لِأنَّ الكِتّانَ كانَ قَدِ اخْضَرَّ، وَالشَّعِيرَ أنبَتَ سَنابِلَهُ.

32 B ut the wheat and the spelt were not smitten; for they were not come out into ear.

أمّا حُبُوبُ القَمْحِ وَالعَلَسِ فَلَمْ تَتلَفْ، لِأنَّها تنْضِجُ فِي وَقتٍ مُتَأخِّرٍ.

33 A nd Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread out his hands to Jehovah; and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured on the earth.

وَخَرَجَ مُوسَى مِنْ عِنْدِ فِرعَوْنَ وَمِنَ المَدِينَةِ وَرَفَعَ يَدَهُ إلَى اللهِ وَصَلَّى، فَتَوَقَّفَ الرَّعدُ وَالبَرقُ، وَلَمْ يَعُدِ المَطَرُ يَنسَكِبُ عَلَى الأرْضِ.

34 A nd Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders had ceased, and he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he, and his bondmen.

وَحِينَ رَأى فِرعَوْنُ أنَّ المَطَرَ وَالبَرَدَ وَالرَّعدَ قَدْ تَوَقَّفَتْ، أخطَأ ثانِيَةً، وَقَسَّى هُوَ وَخُدّامُهُ قُلُوبَهُمْ.

35 A nd the heart of Pharaoh was stubborn, neither would he let the children of Israel go, as Jehovah had spoken by Moses.

فَتَقَسَّى قَلبُ فِرعَوْنَ وَلَمْ يُطلِقْ بَني إسْرائِيلَ، كَما سَبَقَ أنْ قالَ اللهُ عَلَى فَمِ مُوسَى.
