1 و َقالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى وَهارُونَ فِي أرْضِ مِصرَ:

Now the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,

2 « سَيَكُونُ هَذا الشَّهرُ أوَّلَ شَهرٍ لَكُمْ. وَسَيَكُونُ الشَّهرَ الأوَّلَ مِنَ السَّنَةِ.

“This month shall be your beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year to you.

3 ك َلِّما كُلَّ جَماعَةِ إسْرائِيلَ وَقُولا لَهُمْ: فِي اليَومِ العاشِرِ مِنْ هَذا الشَّهرِ، عَلَى كُلِّ رَجُلٍ أنْ يُخَصِّصَ حَمَلاً لِعائِلَتِهِ.

Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying: ‘On the tenth of this month every man shall take for himself a lamb, according to the house of his father, a lamb for a household.

4 و َإنْ كانَتِ العائِلَةُ صَغِيرَةً، فَلْيَشْتَرِكْ هُوَ وَجارُهُ بِحَمَلٍ وَاحِدٍ لِعائِلَتَيهِما، بِحَسَبِ عَدَدِ أفرادِ العائِلَتَينِ. احسِبُوا عَدَدَ الآكِلِينَ مِنَ الحَمَلِ.

And if the household is too small for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next to his house take it according to the number of the persons; according to each man’s need you shall make your count for the lamb.

5 « يَنْبَغِي أنْ يَكُونَ الحَمَلُ ذَكَراً سَليماً مِنَ العُيُوبِ، عُمْرُهُ سَنَةٌ. وَيُمْكِنُ أنْ يَكُونَ مِنَ الغَنَمِ أوِ الماعِزِ.

Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year. You may take it from the sheep or from the goats.

6 ا حتَفِظُوا بِهِ إلَى اليَومِ الرّابِعَ عَشَرَ مِنْ هَذا الشَّهرِ. حِينَئِذٍ، عَلَى جَماعَةِ بَني إسْرائِيلَ أنْ يَذبَحُوهُ فِي المَساءِ،

Now you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month. Then the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at twilight.

7 ث ُمَّ يَأْخُذُوا مِنَ الدَّمِ وَيَضَعُوهُ عَلَى قائِمَتَيِّ البابِ، وَعَلَى عَتَبَتِهِ العُليا، فِي البُيُوتِ الَّتِي سَيَأكُلُونَ فِيها الحَمَلَ.

And they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses where they eat it.

8 « وَيَأكُلُونَ اللَّحمَ فِي تِلكَ اللَّيلَةِ مَشوِيّاً عَلَى النّارِ مَعَ خُبزٍ غَيرِ مُختَمِرٍ وَأعشابٍ مُرَّةٍ.

Then they shall eat the flesh on that night; roasted in fire, with unleavened bread and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.

9 ل ا تَأكُلُوا مِنهُ نَيِّئاً أوْ مَسلُوقاً فِي الماءِ، بَلْ مَشوِيّاً عَلَى النّارِ مَعَ رَأسِهِ وِسِيقانِهِ وَأحشائِهِ الدّاخِلِيَّةِ.

Do not eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted in fire—its head with its legs and its entrails.

10 و َلا تُبقُوا شَيئاً مِنهُ حَتَّى الصَّباحِ. كُلُّ ما يَتَبَقَّى مِنهُ تُحرِقُونَهُ بالنّارِ.

You shall let none of it remain until morning, and what remains of it until morning you shall burn with fire.

11 « هَكَذا تَأكُلُونَهُ: تَكُونُ أوساطُكُمْ مَشدُودَةً، وَتَرتَدُونَ أحذِيَتَكُمْ فِي أرجُلِكُمْ، وَتَحْمِلُونَ عِصِيَّكُمْ فِي أيدِيكُمْ. تَأكُلُونَهُ بِسُرعَةٍ، فَهُوَ فِصحٌ للهِ.

And thus you shall eat it: with a belt on your waist, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. So you shall eat it in haste. It is the Lord ’s Passover.

12 « وَأنا سَأجْتازُ فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيلَةِ عَبرَ أرْضِ مِصرَ وَأقتُلُ كُلَّ الأبْكارِ فِي أرْضِ مِصرَ مِنَ النّاسِ وَالبَهائِمِ. سَأحكُمُ عَلَى آلِهَةِ مِصرَ، أنا الإلَهَ الحَقِيقِيَّ، يهوه.

‘For I will pass through the land of Egypt on that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the Lord.

13 « سَيَكُونُ الدَّمُ عَلامَةً لَكُمْ عَلَى البُيُوتِ الَّتِي أنتُمْ فِيها. فَأرَى الدَّمَ وَأعْبُرُ عَنْكُمْ. لَنْ تَأتِيَ عَلَيكُمْ ضَربَةٌ حِينَ أضرِبُ أرْضَ مِصرَ.

Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.

14 س َيَكُونُ هَذا اليَومُ ذِكْرَى لَكُمْ تَحتَفِلُونَ بِهِ عِيداً للهِ. احْفَظُوا هَذا العِيدَ جِيلاً بَعْدَ جِيلٍ كَعادَةٍ دائِمَةٍ.

‘So this day shall be to you a memorial; and you shall keep it as a feast to the Lord throughout your generations. You shall keep it as a feast by an everlasting ordinance.

15 ل ِمُدَّةِ سَبعَةِ أيّامٍ، تَأكُلُونَ خَبْزاً غَيرَ مُخْتَمِرٍ. فِي اليَومِ الأوَّلِ، تُخرِجُونَ الخَمِيرَةَ مِنْ بُيُوتِكُمْ، لِأنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَأكُلُ خُبْزاً مُخْتَمِراً مِنَ اليَومِ الأوَّلِ وَحَتَّى السّابِعِ، يُقطَعُ مِنْ إسْرائِيلَ.

Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. On the first day you shall remove leaven from your houses. For whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that person shall be cut off from Israel.

16 « فِي اليَومِ الأوَّلِ، تَعقِدُونَ تَجَمُّعاً مَهِيباً. وَفِي اليَومِ السَّابِعِ، تَعقِدُونَ تَجَمُّعاً مَهِيباً آخَرَ. لا يَنبَغِي أنْ تَنْشَغِلُوا بِأيِّ عَمَلٍ فِي هَذَينِ اليَومَينِ، عَدَا ما يَعْمَلُهُ كُلُّ واحِدٍ لإعْدادِ طَعامِهِ.

On the first day there shall be a holy convocation, and on the seventh day there shall be a holy convocation for you. No manner of work shall be done on them; but that which everyone must eat—that only may be prepared by you.

17 « احْفَظُوا عِيدَ الخُبْزِ غَيرِ المُخْتَمِرِ، لِأنِّي فِي هَذا اليَومِ سَأُخرِجُ صُفُوفَ إسْرائِيلَ مِنْ أرْضِ مِصْرَ. احْفَظُوا هَذا العِيدَ جِيلاً بَعْدَ جِيلٍ كَعادَةٍ دائِمَةٍ.

So you shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for on this same day I will have brought your armies out of the land of Egypt. Therefore you shall observe this day throughout your generations as an everlasting ordinance.

18 م ِنَ اليَومِ الرّابِعَ عَشَرَ مِنَ الشَّهرِ الأوَّلِ وَحَتَّى مَساءِ اليَومِ الحادِي وَالعِشْرِينَ مِنَ الشَّهرِ، تَأكُلُونَ خُبزاً غَيرَ مُخْتَمِرٍ.

In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, you shall eat unleavened bread, until the twenty-first day of the month at evening.

19 ل ا تُبقُوا خَمِيراً فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ لِسَبعَةِ أيّامٍ. فَأيُّ إنسانٍ، سَواءٌ أكانَ غَرِيباً أمْ مِنْ مَوالِيدِ الأرْضِ، يَأكُلُ شَيئاً فِيهِ خَمِيرٌ، يُقطَعُ مِنْ شَعبِ إسْرائِيلَ.

For seven days no leaven shall be found in your houses, since whoever eats what is leavened, that same person shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is a stranger or a native of the land.

20 ف َلا تَأكُلُوا أيَّ شَيءٍ فِيهِ خَمِيرٌ، بَلْ كُلُوا خُبزاً غَيرَ مُخْتَمِرٍ فِي كُلِّ مَساكِنِكُمْ.»

You shall eat nothing leavened; in all your dwellings you shall eat unleavened bread.’”

21 و َاستَدعَى مُوسَى كُلَّ شُيُوخِ إسْرائِيلَ وَقالَ لَهُمْ: «اختارُوا حَمَلاً لِعائِلاتِكُمْ وَاذبَحُوهُ كَحَمَلٍ لِلفِصحِ.

Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel and said to them, “Pick out and take lambs for yourselves according to your families, and kill the Passover lamb.

22 و َخُذُوا باقَةً مِنْ نَباتِ الزُّوفا وَاغمِسُوها فِي حَوضِ الدَّمِ، ثُمَّ اصبِغُوا بِالدَّمِ العَتَبَةَ العُليا وَالعارِضَتَينِ اليُمنى وَاليُسرَى لأبْوابِ بُيُوتِكُمْ. وَلا تَخرُجُوا مِنْ أبْوابِ بُيُوتِكُمْ حَتَّى الصَّباحِ.

And you shall take a bunch of hyssop, dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two doorposts with the blood that is in the basin. And none of you shall go out of the door of his house until morning.

23 ح ِينَ يَعبُرُ اللهُ لِيَضرِبَ أرْضَ مِصرَ، فَإنَّهُ سَيَرَى الدَّمَ عَلَى العَتَبَةِ العُليا وَالقائِمَتَينِ، فَيَتَجاوَزُ اللهُ ذَلِكَ البابَ وَلا يَسمَحُ لِلمَلاكِ المُهلِكِ بِالدُّخُولِ إلَى بُيُوتِكُمْ لِيَقتُلَ أولادَكَمْ.

For the Lord will pass through to strike the Egyptians; and when He sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the Lord will pass over the door and not allow the destroyer to come into your houses to strike you.

24 « احْفَظُوا هَذا الأمرَ كَعادَةٍ دائِمَةٍ لَكُمْ وَلِأولادِكُمْ.

And you shall observe this thing as an ordinance for you and your sons forever.

25 و َحِينَ تَأتُونَ إلَى الأرْضِ الَّتِي سَيُعطِيها اللهُ لَكُمْ كَما وَعَدَ، تَحفَظُونَ هَذِهِ الفَرِيضَةِ.

It will come to pass when you come to the land which the Lord will give you, just as He promised, that you shall keep this service.

26 « وَحِينَ يَسْألُ أولادُكُمْ: ‹ما مَعنَى هَذِا العِيدِ؟›

And it shall be, when your children say to you, ‘What do you mean by this service?’

27 ق ُولُوا: ‹إنَّها ذَبِيحَةُ فِصحِ اللهِ الَّذِي تَجاوَزَ بُيُوتَ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ حِينَ ضَرَبَ مِصرَ، لَكِنَّهُ أنقَذَ بُيُوتَنا.›» حِينَئِذٍ، رَكَعَ الشَّعبُ وَعَبَدُوا اللهَ.

that you shall say, ‘It is the Passover sacrifice of the Lord, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt when He struck the Egyptians and delivered our households.’” So the people bowed their heads and worshiped.

28 و َذَهَبَ بَنُو إسْرائِيلَ وَعَمِلُوا كَما أمَرَ اللهُ مُوسَى وَهارُونَ.

Then the children of Israel went away and did so; just as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did. The Tenth Plague: Death of the Firstborn

29 و َعِندَ مُنتَصَفِ اللَّيلِ، ضَرَبَ اللهُ الأبْكارَ فِي أرْضِ مِصرَ، مِنْ بِكرِ فِرعَوْنَ الجالِسِ عَلَى عَرشِهِ إلَى بِكرِ السُّجَناءِ إلَى أبْكارِ الحَيواناتِ.

And it came to pass at midnight that the Lord struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of livestock.

30 و َسَهِرَ فِرعَوْنُ وَخُدّامُهُ وَكُلُّ مِصرَ فِي تِلكَ اللَّيلَةِ. وَكانَ هُناكَ نُواحٌ شَدِيدٌ فِي مِصرَ، لِأنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ هُناكَ بَيتٌ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِيهِ مَيِّتٌ. خُرُوجُ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ من مِصر

So Pharaoh rose in the night, he, all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt, for there was not a house where there was not one dead. The Exodus

31 ف َاسْتَدعَى فِرعَوْنُ مُوسَى وَهارُونَ تِلكَ اللَّيلَةَ وَقالَ لَهُما: «قُومُوا وَاخرُجُوا مِنْ وَسْطِ شَعبِي، أنتُما وَبَنو إسْرائِيلَ. اذهَبُوا وَاخْدِموا اللهَ كَما قُلْتُمْ.

Then he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, “Rise, go out from among my people, both you and the children of Israel. And go, serve the Lord as you have said.

32 خ ُذُوا غَنَمَكُمْ وَبَقَرَكُمْ كَما قُلْتُمْ. اذهَبُوا، وَبارِكُونِي.»

Also take your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and be gone; and bless me also.”

33 و َحَثَّ المِصرِيُّونَ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ عَلَى الإسراعِ فِي الخُرُوجِ مِنَ الأرْضِ، لِأنَّهُمْ قالُوا: «سَنَمُوتُ جَمِيعاً!»

And the Egyptians urged the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste. For they said, “We shall all be dead.”

34 و َأخَذَ الشَّعبُ عَجِينَهُمْ قَبلَ أنْ يَختَمِرَ. وَهُمْ يَصُرُّونَ أوعِيَةَ العَجِينِ فِي ثِيابِهِمْ، وَيَحْمِلُونَها عَلَى أكتافِهِمْ.

So the people took their dough before it was leavened, having their kneading bowls bound up in their clothes on their shoulders.

35 و َفَعَلَ بَنو إسْرائِيلَ ما قالَهُ مُوسَى لَهُمْ، فَطَلَبُوا فِضَّةً وَذَهَباً وَثِياباً مِنَ المِصرِيِّينَ.

Now the children of Israel had done according to the word of Moses, and they had asked from the Egyptians articles of silver, articles of gold, and clothing.

36 و َجَعَلَ اللهُ المِصرِيِّينَ كُرَماءَ مَعَ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ. فَأعطاهُمُ المِصرِيُّونَ ما طَلَبُوهُ. وَبِهَذا أخَذَ بَنُو إسْرائِيلَ ثَرْوَةً مِنَ المِصرِيِّينَ.

And the Lord had given the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they granted them what they requested. Thus they plundered the Egyptians.

37 و َرَحَلَ بَنُو إسْرائِيلَ مِنْ مَدِينَةِ رَعَمْسِيسَ إلَى مَدِينَةِ سُكُّوتَ. كانَ هُناكَ نَحْوُ سِتِّ مِئَةِ ألفِ رَجُلٍ عَدا الأطفالِ.

Then the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides children.

38 و َخَرَجَتْ مَعَهُمْ جَماعَةٌ كَبِيرَةٌ مِنْ غَيرِ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ، وَكَذَلِكَ الكَثِيرُ مِنَ الغَنَمْ وَالبَقَرِ.

A mixed multitude went up with them also, and flocks and herds—a great deal of livestock.

39 و َخَبَزُوا العَجِينَ الَّذِي أخرَجُوهُ مِنْ مِصرَ وَعَمِلُوا مِنهُ خُبزاً غَيرَ مُخْتَمِرٍ لِأنَّهُمْ طُرِدُوا مِنْ مِصرَ، وَلَمْ يَستَطِيعُوا أنْ يَتَأخَّرُوا لإعدادِ الطَّعامِ.

And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they had brought out of Egypt; for it was not leavened, because they were driven out of Egypt and could not wait, nor had they prepared provisions for themselves.

40 و َسَكَنَ بَنو إسْرائِيلَ فِي أرْضِ مِصْرَ أربَعَ مِئَةٍ وَثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً.

Now the sojourn of the children of Israel who lived in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years.

41 و َبَعدَ أربَعِ مِئَةٍ وَثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً، خَرَجَتْ كُلُّ صُفُوفِ شَعبِ اللهِ مِنْ أرْضِ مِصرَ.

And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years—on that very same day—it came to pass that all the armies of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt.

42 ك انَتْ لَيلَةً سَهِرَ اللهُ فِيها عَلَى بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ لِيُخرِجَهُمْ مِنْ أرْضِ مِصرَ، وَلِذا عَلَى بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ أنْ يُخَصِّصُوا «لَيلَةَ سَهَرٍ» للهِ ، لِيَتَذَكَّرُوا إلَى الأبَدِ ما عَمِلَهُ.

It is a night of solemn observance to the Lord for bringing them out of the land of Egypt. This is that night of the Lord, a solemn observance for all the children of Israel throughout their generations. Passover Regulations

43 و َقالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى وَهارُونَ: «هَذِهِ هِيَ شَرِيعَةُ عِيدِ الفِصحِ: لا يَجُوزُ لأجنَبِيٍّ أنْ يَأكُلَ مِنْ ذَبِيحَةِ الفِصحِ.

And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the ordinance of the Passover: No foreigner shall eat it.

44 أ مّا العَبدُ المُشْتَرَى بِالمالِ، فَبَعدَ خِتانِهِ يُمكِنُ أنْ يَأكُلَ مِنهُ.

But every man’s servant who is bought for money, when you have circumcised him, then he may eat it.

45 و َلا يَجُوزُ لِلزّائِرِ أوْ لِلأجيرِ أنْ يَأكُلَ مِنهُ.

A sojourner and a hired servant shall not eat it.

46 « يَنبَغي أنْ يُؤكَلَ الفِصْحُ فِي بَيتٍ واحِدٍ، فَلا يَجُوزُ إخراجُ أيِّ شَيءٍ مِنَ اللَّحمِ إلَى خارِجِ البَيتِ. وَلا تَكسِرُوا عَظماً واحِداً مِنْ عِظامِهِ.

In one house it shall be eaten; you shall not carry any of the flesh outside the house, nor shall you break one of its bones.

47 ع َلَى كُلِّ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ أنْ يَعمَلُوا هَذا.

All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.

48 و َإنْ أرادَ غَرِيبٌ يَسكُنُ مَعَكُمْ أنْ يَحفَظَ عِيدَ الفِصحِ للهِ ، ينبَغِي خِتانُ كُلِّ ذُكُورِهِ، حِينَئِذٍ، يُمكِنُهُ أنْ يَشْتَرِكَ فِي احتِفالِ الفِصْحِ هُوَ وَعائِلَتِهِ. فَيَكُونُ الغَرِيبُ حِينَئِذٍ كَالمُولُودِ فِي الأرْضِ. وَلا يَجُوزُ لِأحَدٍ غَيرِ مَختُونٍ أنْ يَأكُلَ مِنهُ.

And when a stranger dwells with you and wants to keep the Passover to the Lord, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as a native of the land. For no uncircumcised person shall eat it.

49 ه َذِهِ شَرِيعَةٌ واحِدَةٌ لِلمُواطِنِ المَولُودِ فِي الأرْضِ، وَلِلغَرِيبِ المُقِيمِ بَينَكُمْ.»

One law shall be for the native-born and for the stranger who dwells among you.”

50 و َعَمِلَ بَنو إسْرائِيلَ بِحَسَبِ أمرِ اللهِ لِمُوسَى وَهارُونَ.

Thus all the children of Israel did; as the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.

51 و َفِي ذَلِكَ اليَومِ، أخرَجَ اللهُ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ مِنْ أرْضِ مِصرَ بِحَسَبِ صُفُوفِهِمْ.

And it came to pass, on that very same day, that the Lord brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt according to their armies.
