1 ف َقالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى: «سَتَرَى ما سَأفعَلُهُ بِفِرْعَونَ، فَيُرسِلَهُمْ بِقُوَّتِهِ وَيُخْرِجَهُمْ مِنْ مِصرَ، مِنْ أرْضِهِ.»

Then the Lord said to Moses, “Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh; for under compulsion he will let them go, and under compulsion he will drive them out of his land.”

2 و َكَلَّمَ اللهُ مُوسَى وَقالَ لَهُ: «أنا يهوه

God spoke further to Moses and said to him, “I am the Lord;

3 ظ َهَرْتُ لإبراهِيمَ وَإسْحاقَ وَيَعقُوبَ بِصِفَتِي اللهَ الجَبّارُ، لَكِنَّهُم لَمْ يَعْرِفُونِي بِاسْمِي يهوه.

and I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as God Almighty, but by My name, Lord, I did not make Myself known to them.

4 و َقَدْ قَطَعْتُ عَهدِي مَعَهُمْ وَوَعَدْتُ بِأنْ أُعطِيَهُمْ أرْضَ كَنعانَ الَّتِي كانُوا يَعِيشُونَ بِها كَغُرَباءَ.

I also established My covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land in which they sojourned.

5 « كَما سَمِعْتُ أنِينَ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ الَّذِينَ يُجبِرُهُمُ المِصرِيُّونَ عَلَى العَمَلِ، وَتَذَكَّرْتُ عَهدِي.

Furthermore I have heard the groaning of the sons of Israel, because the Egyptians are holding them in bondage, and I have remembered My covenant.

6 ل ِذَلِكَ قُلْ لِبَني إسْرائِيلَ: ‹أنا يهوه، وَسَأُخْرِجُكُمْ مِنْ تَحتِ أحمالِ مِصرَ. سَأُنقِذُكُمْ مِنَ اسْتِعبادِهِمْ لَكُمْ، وَسَأفدِيكُمْ بِذِراعٍ مَمدُودَةٍ وَبِأحكامٍ عَظِيمَةٍ.

Say, therefore, to the sons of Israel, ‘ I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from their bondage. I will also redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments.

7 س َأتَّخِذُكُمْ شَعباً لِي، وَسَأكُونُ إلَهَكُمْ. وَسَتَعرِفُونَ أنِّي أنا يهوه إلَهُكُمْ، وَسَتَرَونَ إنِّي سَأُحَرِّرَكُمْ مِنْ تَحْتِ أحْمالِ المِصْرِيِّينِ.

Then I will take you for My people, and I will be your God; and you shall know that I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.

8 س َآتِي بِكُمْ إلَى الأرْضِ الَّتِي أقسَمْتُ بِأنْ أُعطِيَها لإبراهِيمَ وَإسْحاقَ وَيَعقُوبَ. أنا يهوه، وَسَأُعطِيها مُلكاً لَكُمْ.›»

I will bring you to the land which I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and I will give it to you for a possession; I am the Lord.’”

9 ف َتَكَلَّمَ مُوسَى بِهَذا الكَلامِ لِبَنِي إسْرائِيلَ، لَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَسْتَمِعُوا لِمُوسَى بِسَبَبِ نَفادِ صَبرِهِمْ، وَبِسَبَبِ الإحْباطِ وَالعُبُودِيَّةِ القاسِيَةِ الَّتِي كانُوا فِيها.

So Moses spoke thus to the sons of Israel, but they did not listen to Moses on account of their despondency and cruel bondage.

10 و َتَكَلَّمَ اللهُ إلَى مُوسَى، فَقالَ:

Now the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

11 « اذْهَبْ وَقُلْ لِفِرعَونَ مَلِكِ مِصرَ بِأنْ يُطلِقَ بَني إسْرائِيلَ مِنْ أرْضِهِ.»

“ Go, tell Pharaoh king of Egypt to let the sons of Israel go out of his land.”

12 ل َكِنَّ مُوسَى قالَ للهِ: «ها إنَّ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ لا يَستَمِعُونَ إلَيَّ، فَكَيفَ سَيَستَمِعُ فِرعَوْنُ؟ كَما أنِّي لا أُحسِنُ الكَلامَ.»

But Moses spoke before the Lord, saying, “Behold, the sons of Israel have not listened to me; how then will Pharaoh listen to me, for I am unskilled in speech?”

13 و َتَكَلَّمَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى وَهارُونَ وَأمَرَهُما بِأنْ يَذهَبا إلَى بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ وَفِرعَونَ، لِيُخرِجا بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ مِنْ أرْضِ مِصْرَ. بَعضُ قَبائِلِ إسرائيل

Then the Lord spoke to Moses and to Aaron, and gave them a charge to the sons of Israel and to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt. The Heads of Israel

14 ه َؤُلاءِ هُمْ رُؤَساءُ بُيُوتِ الآباءِ. أبناءُ رَأُوبَيْنَ، بِكرِ إسْرائِيلَ، هُمْ حَنُوكُ وَفَلُّو وَحَصرُونُ وَكَرمِي. هَذِهِ هِيَ عَشائِرُ رَأُوبَيْنَ.

The sons of Kohath: Amram and Izhar and Hebron and Uzziel; and the length of Kohath’s life was one hundred and thirty-three years.

The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to their generations.

20 و َاتَّخَذَ عَمْرامُ عَمَّتَهُ يُوكابَدَ زَوجَةً لَهُ، فَوَلَدَتْ لَهُ هارُونَ وَمُوسَى. وَعاشَ عَمْرامُ مِئَةً وَسَبْعاً وَثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً.

Amram married his father’s sister Jochebed, and she bore him Aaron and Moses; and the length of Amram’s life was one hundred and thirty-seven years.

21 و َأبناءُ يِصْهارَ هُمْ قُورَحُ وَنافَجُ وَزِكْرِي.

23 و َتَزَوَّجَ هارُونُ مِنْ ألِيشابَعَ ابْنَةِ عَمِّينادابَ أختِ نَحشُونَ، وَوَلَدَتْ لَهُ نادابَ وَأبِيهُو وَألِعازارَ وَإيثامارَ.

The sons of Korah: Assir and Elkanah and Abiasaph; these are the families of the Korahites.

25 و َاتَّخَذَ ألِيعازارُ بْنُ هارُونَ إحدَى بَناتِ فُوطِيئِيلَ زَوجَةً لَهُ، فَوَلَدَتْ لَهُ فِينْحاسَ. هَؤُلاءِ هُمْ رُؤَساءُ بُيُوتِ آباءِ الَّلاوِيِّينَ بِحَسَبِ عَشائِرِهِمْ.

Aaron’s son Eleazar married one of the daughters of Putiel, and she bore him Phinehas. These are the heads of the fathers’ households of the Levites according to their families.

26 ه َذانِ هُما هارُونُ وَمُوسَى اللَّذانِ قالَ اللهُ لَهُما: «أخرِجا بَني إسْرائِيلَ مِنْ أرْضِ مِصرَ بِحَسَبِ صُفُوفِهِمْ.»

It was the same Aaron and Moses to whom the Lord said, “ Bring out the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their hosts.”

27 و َهُما اللَّذانِ تَكَلَّما إلَى فِرعَوْنَ مَلِكِ مِصرَ لإخراجِ بَني إسْرائِيلَ مِنْ مِصرَ. هَذانِ هُما مُوسَى وَهارُونُ. تَكرارُ دَعوَةِ اللهِ لِمُوسَى

They were the ones who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt about bringing out the sons of Israel from Egypt; it was the same Moses and Aaron.

28 ح ِينَ كَلَّمَ اللهُ مُوسَى فِي أرْضِ مِصرَ،

Now it came about on the day when the Lord spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt,

29 ق الَ لَهُ: «أنا اللهُ. قُلْ لِفِرعَونَ مَلِكِ مِصرَ كُلَّ ما أقُولُهُ لَكَ.»

that the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “ I am the Lord; speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I speak to you.”

30 ف َقالَ مُوسَى فِي حَضرَةِ اللهِ: «أنا لا أُجِيدُ الكَلامَ، فَكَيفَ سَيَستَمِعُ فِرعَوْنُ لِي؟»

But Moses said before the Lord, “Behold, I am unskilled in speech; how then will Pharaoh listen to me?”
