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

Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh and tell him, ‘Thus says the Lord God of the Hebrews: “Let My people go, that they may serve Me.

2 ف َإنْ رَفَضْتَ أنْ تُطلِقَهُمْ وَأطَلْتَ احتِجازَهُمْ،

For if you refuse to let them go, and still hold them,

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

behold, the hand of the Lord will be on your cattle in the field, on the horses, on the donkeys, on the camels, on the oxen, and on the sheep—a very severe pestilence.

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

And the Lord will make a difference between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt. So nothing shall die of all that belongs to the children of Israel.”’”

5 ق َدْ حَدَّدَ اللهُ وَقتاً فَقالَ: غَداً سَأفعَلُ هَذا الأمرَ فِي الأرْضِ.›»

Then the Lord appointed a set time, saying, “Tomorrow the Lord will do this thing in the land.”

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

So the Lord did this thing on the next day, and all the livestock of Egypt died; but of the livestock of the children of Israel, not one died.

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

Then Pharaoh sent, and indeed, not even one of the livestock of the Israelites was dead. But the heart of Pharaoh became hard, and he did not let the people go. The Sixth Plague: Boils

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

So the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Take for yourselves handfuls of ashes from a furnace, and let Moses scatter it toward the heavens in the sight of Pharaoh.

9 ف َيَصِيرَ الرَّمادُ غُباراً عَلَى كُلِّ أرْضِ مِصرَ، وَيُسَبِّبُ دَمامِلَ مُتَقَيِّحَةً عَلَى النّاسِ وَالحَيواناتِ فِي كُلِّ أرْضِ مِصرَ.»

And it will become fine dust in all the land of Egypt, and it will cause boils that break out in sores on man and beast throughout all the land of Egypt.”

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

Then they took ashes from the furnace and stood before Pharaoh, and Moses scattered them toward heaven. And they caused boils that break out in sores on man and beast.

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

And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils, for the boils were on the magicians and on all the Egyptians.

12 ل َكِنَّ اللهَ قَسَّى قَلبَ فِرعَوْنَ، وَلَمْ يَستَمِعْ إلَيهِما كَما قالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى. البَرَد

But the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh; and he did not heed them, just as the Lord had spoken to Moses. The Seventh Plague: Hail

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

Then the Lord said to Moses, “Rise early in the morning and stand before Pharaoh, and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord God of the Hebrews: “Let My people go, that they may serve Me,

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

for at this time I will send all My plagues to your very heart, and on your servants and on your people, that you may know that there is none like Me in all the earth.

15 ل ِأنِّي كُنتُ أستَطِيعُ أنْ أمُدَّ يَدِي وَأضرِبَكَ وَأضرِبَ شَعبَكَ بِالوَباءِ، فَتُقطَعُونَ مِنَ أرْضِكُمْ.

Now if I had stretched out My hand and struck you and your people with pestilence, then you would have been cut off from the earth.

16 ل َكِنَّنِي أبقَيتُكَ لِأُظهِرَ لَكَ قُوَّتِي، وَلِكَي أجعَلَ اسْمِي مَعرُوفاً فِي كُلِّ الأرْضِ.

But indeed for this purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth.

17 و َما زِلْتَ تُضايِقُ شَعبِيَ وَلَمْ تُطلِقْهُمْ.

As yet you exalt yourself against My people in that you will not let them go.

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

Behold, tomorrow about this time I will cause very heavy hail to rain down, such as has not been in Egypt since its founding until now.

19 ف َضَعُوا 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.›»

Therefore send now and gather your livestock and all that you have in the field, for the hail shall come down on every man and every animal which is found in the field and is not brought home; and they shall die.”’”

20 و َكُلُّ خادِمٍ مِنْ خُدّامِ فِرعَوْنَ، خافَ كَلِمَةَ اللهِ ، أدخَلَ خُدّامَهُ وَمَواشِيَهُ إلَى الدّاخِلِ.

He who feared the word of the Lord among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his livestock flee to the houses.

21 ل َكِنَّ الَّذِي تَجاهَلَ كَلِمَةَ اللهِ تَرَكَ خُدّامَهُ وَمَواشِيَهُ فِي الحَقلِ.

But he who did not regard the word of the Lord left his servants and his livestock in the field.

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

Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward heaven, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt—on man, on beast, and on every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.”

23 ف َمَدَّ مُوسَى عَصاهُ نَحوَ السَّماءِ، فَأرسَلَ اللهُ رَعداً وَبَرقاً وَبَرَداً. أمطَرَ اللهُ بَرَداً عَلَى الأرْضِ.

And Moses stretched out his rod toward heaven; and the Lord sent thunder and hail, and fire darted to the ground. And the Lord rained hail on the land of Egypt.

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

So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, so very heavy that there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.

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

And the hail struck throughout the whole land of Egypt, all that was in the field, both man and beast; and the hail struck every herb of the field and broke every tree of the field.

26 ل َكِنْ عَلَى أرْضِ جاسانَ، لَمْ يَأْتِ بَرَدٌ. وَهِيَ الأرْضُ الَّتِي سَكَنَها بَنُو إسْرائِيلَ.

Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, there was no hail.

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

And Pharaoh sent and called for Moses and Aaron, and said to them, “I have sinned this time. The Lord is righteous, and my people and I are wicked.

28 ص َلِّيا للهِ ، يَكفِي ما نِلْناهُ مِنْ رَعدٍ وَبَرَدٍ. سَأُطلِقُكُمْ، وَلَنْ تَضْطَرُّوا لِلبَقاءِ أكثَرَ.»

Entreat the Lord, that there may be no more mighty thundering and hail, for it is enough. I will let you go, and you shall stay no longer.”

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

So Moses said to him, “As soon as I have gone out of the city, I will spread out my hands to the Lord; the thunder will cease, and there will be no more hail, that you may know that the earth is the Lord ’s.

30 أ مّا أنتَ وَخُدّامُكَ، فَأنا أعْرِفُ أنَّكُمْ لا تَخافُونَ اللهَ.»

But as for you and your servants, I know that you will not yet fear the Lord God.”

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

Now the flax and the barley were struck, for the barley was in the head and the flax was in bud.

32 أ مّا حُبُوبُ القَمْحِ وَالعَلَسِ فَلَمْ تَتلَفْ، لِأنَّها تنْضِجُ فِي وَقتٍ مُتَأخِّرٍ.

But the wheat and the spelt were not struck, for they are late crops.

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

So Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh and spread out his hands to the Lord; then the thunder and the hail ceased, and the rain was not poured on the earth.

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

And when Pharaoh saw that the rain, the hail, and the thunder had ceased, he sinned yet more; and he hardened his heart, he and his servants.

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

So the heart of Pharaoh was hard; neither would he let the children of Israel go, as the Lord had spoken by Moses.
