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 to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says this: “Let My people go, so they may worship Me.

2 ف َإنْ رَفَضْتَ أنْ تُطلِقَهُمْ وَأطَلْتَ احتِجازَهُمْ،

For if you will not 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.

the hand of the Lord will come with a very bad disease on your animals in the field: on the horses, the donkeys, the camels, the cattle and the flocks.

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

But the Lord will divide the animals of Israel from the animals of Egypt. So nothing will die of all that belongs to the people of Israel.”’”

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

The Lord made a time for this, saying, “Tomorrow the Lord will do this 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 on the next day. All the animals of Egypt died. But not one of the animals died that belonged to the people of Israel.

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

Pharaoh learned that not one of the animals of Israel was dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was hard. He did not let the people go. Bad Sores Come on Egyptians and Their Animals

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

Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Fill your hands with ashes from a stove. Let Moses throw them toward the sky in front 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 over all the land of Egypt and will become bad sores on man and animal through all the land of Egypt.”

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

So they took ashes from a stove. Moses stood in front of Pharaoh and threw the ashes toward the sky. And it became sores on man and animal.

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

The wonder-workers could not stand in front of Moses because of the sores. For the sores were on the wonder-workers and on all the Egyptians.

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

But the Lord made the heart of Pharaoh hard. He did not listen to them, just as the Lord had said to Moses. Large Hail and Fire

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, “Get up early in the morning and stand in front of Pharaoh and say to him, ‘The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says this: “Let My people go, so they may worship 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 this time I will send all My troubles on you and your servants and your people. So you may know that there is no one like Me in all the earth.

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

For by now I could have put out My hand and hit you and your people with much trouble and great suffering. You would then have been destroyed from the earth.

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

But I have let you live so you could see My power and so My name may be honored through all the earth.

17 و َما زِلْتَ تُضايِقُ شَعبِيَ وَلَمْ تُطلِقْهُمْ.

But you still use your power against My people by not letting them go.

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

About this time tomorrow I will send a very heavy hail such as has never been seen in Egypt from the day it began 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.›»

Have your cattle and whatever you have in the field brought to a safe place. For the hail will come down upon every man and animal that is in the field and is not brought home. And they will die.”’”

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

Any of the people of Egypt who feared the word of the Lord made his servants and animals run to the houses.

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

But he who did not listen to the word of the Lord left his servants and animals 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.»

The Lord said to Moses, “Put out your hand toward the sky and hail will fall on all the land of Egypt. Hail will fall on man and animal and every plant of the field through all the land of Egypt.”

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

Moses put out his special stick toward the sky. Then the Lord sent thunder and hail. And lightning struck the ground. The Lord poured 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 lightning striking through the hail without stopping. It was very bad, worse than had ever been 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.

The hail hit all that was in the field through all the land of Egypt, both man and animal. The hail hit every plant of the field and broke down 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 people 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.

Then Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron. He said to them, “I have sinned this time. The Lord is right. I and my people are guilty.

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

Pray to the Lord. For there has been enough of God’s thunder and hail. And I will let you go. You will stay here no longer.”

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

Moses said to him, “When I have gone out of the city, I will spread out my hands to the Lord. The thunder will stop. There will be no more hail. Then you may know that the earth is the Lord’s.

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

But I know that you and your servants do not yet fear the Lord God.”

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

The flax and the barley were destroyed. For these plants had just begun to grow.

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

But the other grains were not destroyed, because they grow later.

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 left the city and Pharaoh. He spread out his hands to the Lord. And the thunder and the hail stopped. The rain no longer poured on the earth.

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

But when Pharaoh saw that the rain and hail and thunder had stopped, he sinned again. He and his servants made their hearts hard.

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

Pharaoh’s heart was not changed. He did not let the people of Israel go, just as the Lord had said by Moses.
