1 ¶ Then the LORD spoke unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh and say unto him, The LORD hath said thus, Let my people go that they may serve me.

فَقالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى: «اذْهَبْ إلَى فِرعَوْنَ وَقُلْ لَهُ: ‹هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ اللهُ: أطلِقْ شَعبِي كَي يَعبُدَنِي.

2 A nd if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs:

فَإنْ رَفَضْتَ أنْ تُطلِقَهُمْ، سَأضرِبُ كُلَّ أرْضِكَ بِالضَّفادِعِ.

3 A nd the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into thy house and into thy bedchamber and upon thy bed and into the houses of thy slaves and upon thy people and into thine ovens and into thy kneadingtroughs;

سَيَمتَلِئُ النِّيلُ بِالضَّفادِعِ. وَسَتَصعَدُ الضَّفادِعُ إلَى بَيتِكَ وَغُرفَةِ نَومِكَ وَعَلَى سَرِيرِكَ وَإلَى بُيُوتِ خُدّامِكَ، وَعَلَى شَعبِكَ وَإلَى أفرانِكَ وَآنِيَتِكَ.

4 a nd the frogs shall come up upon thee and upon thy people and upon all thy slaves.

فَتَأْتِي الضَّفادِعُ عَلَيكَ وَعَلَى شَعبِكَ وَعَلَى كُلِّ خُدّامِكَ.›»

5 A nd the LORD said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth thine hand with thy rod over the rivers, over the streams, and over the ponds and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt.

وَقالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى: «قُلْ لِهارُونَ: ‹مُدَّ يَدَكَ بِعَصاكَ عَلَى الأنهارِ وَالجَداوِلِ وَالبِرَكِ، وَأخرِجْ ضَفادِعَ لِتَنتَشِرَ عَلَى أرْضِ مِصرَ.›»

6 A nd Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.

فَمَدَّ هارُونُ يَدَهُ عَلَى مِياهِ مِصرَ، فَخَرَجَتِ الضَّفادِعُ وَغَطَّتْ أرْضَ مِصرَ.

7 A nd the magicians did the same with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt.

وَلَكِنَّ السَّحَرَةَ عَمِلُوا الأمرَ ذاتَهُ بِسِحرِهِمْ، وَأخرَجُوا ضَفادِعَ عَلَى أرْضِ مِصرَ.

8 T hen Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron and said unto them, Intreat the LORD that he may take away the frogs from me and from my people, and I will let the people go that they may sacrifice unto the LORD.

فَاسْتَدعَى فِرعَوْنُ مُوسَى وَهارُونَ وَقالَ لَهُما: «صَلِّيا إلَى اللهِ أنْ يُزِيلَ الضَّفادِعَ عَنِّي وَعَنْ شَعبِي، حِينَئِذٍ، سَأُطلِقُ الشَّعبَ لِيُقَدِّمُوا ذَبائِحَ للهِ.»

9 A nd Moses said unto Pharaoh, Tell me: when shall I intreat for thee and for thy slaves and for thy people, to destroy the frogs from thee and thy houses, that they may remain only in the river?

فَقالَ مُوسَى لِفِرعَونَ: «أنتَ تُقَرِّرُ مَتَى أُصَلِّي لِأجلِكَ وَلِأجلِ خُدّامِكَ وَشَعبِكَ لإزالَةِ الضَّفادِعِ عَنكَ وَعَنْ بُيُوتِكَ. لَكِنْ سَتَبْقَى الضَّفادِعُ فِي النِّيلِ فَقَطْ.»

10 A nd he said, Tomorrow. And Moses replied, Be it according to thy word, that thou may know that there is none like unto the LORD our God.

فَقالَ فِرعَوْنُ: «غَداً.» فَأجابَ مُوسَى: «كَما تَقُولُ، كَي تَعرِفَ أنَّهُ لَيسَ مِثلَ يهوه إلَهِنا.

11 A nd the frogs shall depart from thee and from thy houses and from thy slaves and from thy people; they shall remain only in the river.

سَتَزُولُ الضَّفادِعُ عَنكَ وَعَنْ بُيُوتِكَ وَعَنْ خُدّامِكَ وَعَنْ شَعبِكَ، وَسَتَبقَى فِي النِّيلِ.»

12 T hen Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh; and Moses cried unto the LORD because of the frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh.

فَخَرَجَ مُوسَى وَهارُونُ مِنْ عِنْدِ فِرعَوْنَ. وَصَرَخَ مُوسَى إلَى اللهِ بِشَأْنِ الضَّفادِعِ الَّتِي أرْسَلَها اللهُ عَلَى فِرعَوْنَ.

13 A nd the LORD did according to the word of Moses; and the frogs of the houses, of the villages, and of the fields died.

فَاسْتَجابَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى. وَماتَتِ الضَّفادِعُ فِي البُيُوتِ وَالسّاحاتِ وَالحُقُولِ.

14 A nd they gathered them together in heaps; and the land was corrupted.

فَجُمِعَتْ فِي أكوامٍ كَثِيرَةٍ حَتَّى صارَتْ رائِحَةُ الأرْضِ كَريهَةً جِدّاً.

15 B ut when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart and did not hearken unto them as the LORD had said.

لَكِنْ حِينَ رَأى فِرعَوْنُ أنَّهُ صارَ هُناكَ فَرَجٌ، قَسَّى قَلبَهُ، وَلَمْ يَستَمِعْ إلَيهِما كَما قَالَ اللهُ. القَمل

16 ¶ Then the LORD said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy rod and smite the dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt.

وَقالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى: «قُلْ لِهارُونَ: ‹مُدَّ عَصاكَ وَاضْرِبْ تُرابَ الأرْضِ فَيَصِيرَ قَملاً فِي كُلِّ أرْضِ مِصرَ.›»

17 A nd they did so; for Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod and smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice in man and in beast; all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.

فَعَمِلا بِحَسَبِ قَولِهِ. مَدَّ هارُونُ عَصاهُ بِيَدِهِ، وَضَرَبَ تُرابَ الأرْضِ الَّذِي صارَ قَملاً عَلَى النّاسِ وَالحَيواناتِ. كُلُّ تُرابِ الأرْضِ صارَ قَملاً فِي كُلِّ أرْضِ مِصْرَ.

18 A nd the magicians did the same with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not. And there were lice upon man and upon beast.

وَحاوَلَ السَّحَرَةُ أنْ يُخْرِجُوا القَملَ بِسِحْرِهِمْ، فَلَمْ يَقْدِرُوا، بَلِ انتَشَرَ القَملُ عَلَى النّاسِ وَالحَيَواناتِ.

19 T hen the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This is the finger of God. But Pharaoh’s heart hardened, and he did not hearken unto them as the LORD had said.

وَقالَ السَّحَرَةُ: «هَذا إصْبِعُ اللهِ.» لَكِنَّ فِرعَوْنَ تَقَسَّى قَلبُهُ وَلَمْ يَستَمِعْ لَهُمْ كَما قالَ اللهُ. الذُّباب

20 ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning and stand before Pharaoh; behold, he goes forth to the water and say unto him, The LORD hath said thus, Let my people go that they may serve me.

وَقالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى: «اذْهَبْ وَقِفْ أمامَ فِرعَوْنَ فِي الصَّباحِ حِينَ يَخرُجُ إلَى الماءِ، وَقُلْ لَهُ: ‹يَقُولُ اللهُ لَكَ أطلِقْ شَعبِيَ لِيَعبُدَنِي.

21 F or if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies upon thee and upon thy slaves and upon thy people and into thy houses; and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of all kinds of flies and also the ground upon which they are.

فَإنْ لَمْ تُطلِقْ شَعبِي، سَأُرسِلُ أسراباً مِنَ الذُّبابِ عَلَيكَ وَعَلَى خُدّامِكَ وَعَلَى شَعبِكَ وَعَلَى بَيتِكَ. سَتَمتَلِئُ بُيُوتُ مِصرَ بِأسرابِ الذُّبابِ، وَكَذَلِكَ الأرْضُ الَّتِي تَسكُنُها.

22 A nd I will separate in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no kind of flies shall be there to the end that thou may know that I am the LORD in the midst of the earth.

لَكِنْ فِي ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ، سَأُمَيِّزُ أرْضَ جاسانَ حَيثُ يُقِيمُ شَعبِي، فَلَنْ تَأْتِيَ أسرابُ الذُّبابِ هُناكَ، كَي تَعرِفَ أنِّي أنا اللهُ المُتَسَيِّدُ فِي وَسَطِ هَذِهِ الأرْضِ.

23 A nd I will put redemption between my people and thy people. Tomorrow shall this sign be.

سَأُمَيِّزُ بَينَ شَعبِي وَشَعبِكَ، وَسَيحدُثُ هَذا غَداً بُرهاناً لَكَ.›»

24 A nd the LORD did so: that there came a grievous swarm of flies into the house of Pharaoh and into his slaves’ houses and into all the land of Egypt; and the land was corrupted by reason of the swarm of flies.

وَاسْتَجابَ اللهُ لِقَولِهِ، فَأتَتْ أسرابٌ مِنَ الذُّبابِ عَلَى بَيتِ فِرعَوْنَ وَبُيُوتِ خُدّامِهِ وَعَلَى كُلِّ أرْضِ مِصرَ. وَخَرِبَتِ الأرْضُ بِسَبَبِ أسرابِ الذُّبابِ.

25 T hen Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron and said, Go ye, sacrifice to your God in the land of Egypt.

حِينَئِذٍ، استَدعَى فِرعَوْنُ مُوسَى وَهارُونَ، وَقالَ لَهُما: «قَدِّمُوا ذَبائِحَ لإلَهِكُمْ هُنا فِي هَذِهِ الأرْضِ.»

26 A nd Moses replied, It is not convenient to do so; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to the LORD our God. Behold, if we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, will they not stone us?

لَكِنَّ مُوسَى قالَ: «لا يَصلُحُ أنْ نَفعَلَ هَذا. لأنَّنا سَنَذْبَحُ لإلَهِنا ما يُحَرِّمُهُ المِصرِيُونَ. إنْ ذَبَحْنا أمامَ عُيُونِهِم ما يُحَرِّمُونَ ذَبْحَهُ، سَيَرْجُمُونَنا!

27 W e will go three days’ journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to the LORD our God as he has said unto us.

لا بُدَّ أنْ نَسِيرَ فِي رِحلَةٍ لِثَلاثَةِ أيّامٍ، وَنُقَدِّمُ هُناكَ الذَّبائِحَ لإلَهِنا كَما أمَرَنا.»

28 A nd Pharaoh said, I will let you go that ye may sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness; only ye shall not go very far away; pray for me.

فَقالَ فِرعَوْنُ: «سَأُطلِقُكُمْ لِتُقَدِّمُوا ذَبائِحَ ليهوه إلَهِكُمْ فِي البَرِّيَّةِ، لَكِنْ لا تَبتَعِدُوا! وَصَلِّيا لِأجلِيَ.»

29 A nd Moses answered, Behold, as I go out from thy presence, I will intreat the LORD that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his slaves, and from his people tomorrow; if Pharaoh will not deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the LORD.

فَقالَ مُوسَى: «فَوْرَ خُرُوجِي مِنْ عِنْدِكَ سَأُصَلِّي إلَى اللهِ ، فَتَزُولُ أسرابُ الذُّبابِ عَنْ فِرعَوْنَ وَخُدّامِهِ وَشَعبِهِ غَداً. لَكِنْ أرجُو مِنْ فِرعَوْنَ أنْ لا يَخدَعَنا ثانيَةً بِعَدَمِ إطلاقِهِ لِلشَّعبِ لِيُقَدِّمُوا ذَبائِحَ للهِ.»

30 T hen Moses went out from Pharaoh, and prayed unto the LORD.

وَخَرَجَ مُوسَى مِنْ مَحضَرِ فِرعَوْنَ وَصَلَّى إلَى اللهِ.

31 A nd the LORD did according to the word of Moses, and he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his slaves, and from his people; there remained not one.

وَاستَجابَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى، فَأزالَ أسرابَ الذُّبابِ عَنْ فِرعَوْنَ وَخُدّامِهِ وَشَعبِهِ، حَتَّى لَمْ تَبْقَ ذُبابَةٌ واحِدَةٌ.

32 A nd Pharaoh even hardened his heart this time and did not let the people go.

لَكِنَّ فِرعَوْنَ قَسَّى قَلْبَهُ هَذِهِ المَرَّةَ أيضاً، وَلَمْ يُطلِقِ الشَّعبَ.
