1 A nd Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

وَكَلَّمَ اللهُ مُوسَى فَقالَ:

2 ` Speak unto the sons of Israel, and they turn back and encamp before Pi-Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal-Zephon; over-against it ye do encamp by the sea,

«قُلْ لِبَنِي إسْرائِيلَ أنْ يَعُودوا وَيُخَيِّمُوا أمامَ فَمِ الحِيرُوثِ، بَينَ مَجدَلَ وَالبَحرِ، أمامَ بَعلَ صَفُونَ. خَيِّمُوا أمامَهُ بِجانِبِ البَحرِ.

3 a nd Pharaoh hath said of the sons of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut upon them;

فَيَقُولُ فِرعَوْنُ: ‹إنَّهُمْ تائِهُونَ فِي الأرْضِ، وَقَدْ حُبِسُوا فِي الصَّحراءِ.›

4 a nd I have strengthened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hath pursued after them, and I am honoured on Pharaoh, and on all his force, and the Egyptians have known that I Jehovah;' and they do so.

وَسَأُقَسِّي قَلْبَ فِرعَوْنَ فَيَتْبَعَهُمْ. وَسَأتَمَجَّدُ منْ خِلالِ فِرعَوْنَ وَقُوّاتِهِ، لِيَعرِفَ المِصرِيُّونَ أنِّي أنا الإلَهُ الحَقيقيُّ.» فَفَعَلَ بَنُو إسْرائِيلَ ذَلِكَ. مُطارَدَةُ فِرعَوْنَ لِبَنِي إسْرائِيل

5 A nd it is declared to the king of Egypt that the people hath fled, and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants is turned against the people, and they say, `What this we have done? that we have sent Israel away from our service.'

وَحِينَ عَلِمَ مَلِكُ مِصْرَ أنَّ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ قَدْ هَرَبُوا، تَغَيَّرَ رَأيُهُ هُوَ وَخُدّامُهُ بِشَأْنِهِمْ، وَقالُوا: «ما الَّذِي عَمِلْناهُ بِإطلاقِ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ مِنْ خِدمَتِنا؟»

6 A nd he harnesseth his chariot, and his people he hath taken with him,

فَجَهَّزَ فِرعَوْنُ عَرَبَتَهُ وَأخَذَ جَيشَهُ مَعَهُ.

7 a nd he taketh six hundred chosen chariots, even all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over them all;

أخَذَ فِرعَوْنُ سِتَّ مِئَةٍ مِنْ أفْضَلِ جُنُودِهِ، مَعَ جَمِيعِ عَرَباتِ الحَرْبِ. كُلُّ عَرَبَةٍ يَقودُها جُنْدِيٌ واحِدٌ.

8 a nd Jehovah strengtheneth the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursueth after the sons of Israel, and the sons of Israel are going out with a high hand,

خَرَجَ بَنُو إسْرائِيلَ وَأيدِيهُمْ مَرفُوعَةٌ بِانتِصارٍ. لَكِنَّ اللهَ قَسَّى قَلبَ فِرعَوْنَ مَلِكِ مِصرَ، فَلَحِقَ بِهِمْ.

9 a nd the Egyptians pursue after them, and all the chariot horses of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his force, overtake them, encamping by the sea, by Pi-Hahiroth, before Baal-Zephon.

لَحِقَ المِصرِيُّونَ بِبَنِي إسْرائِيلَ. وَوَصَلُوا إلَيْهِمْ وَهُمْ مُخَيِّمُونَ بِجانِبِ البَحرِ. وَصَلَتْ جَمِيعُ خُيُولِ فِرعَوْنَ وَعَرَباتِهِ وَرُكّابِها، كُلُّ جَيشِهِ، إلَى حَيثُ كانَ بَنُو إسْرائِيلَ عِندَ فَمِ الحِيرُوثِ أمامَ بَعلِ صَفُونَ.

10 A nd Pharaoh hath drawn near, and the sons of Israel lift up their eyes, and lo, the Egyptians are journeying after them, and they fear exceedingly, and the sons of Israel cry unto Jehovah.

وَحِينَ اقتَرَبَ فِرعَوْنُ، رَفَعَ بَنو إسْرائِيلَ عُيُونَهُمْ وَرَأَوْا المِصرِيِّينَ وَراءَهُمْ، فَخافَ بَنُو إسْرائِيلَ وَصَرَخُوا إلَى اللهِ.

11 A nd they say unto Moses, `Because there are no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in a wilderness? what is this thou hast done to us -- to bring us out from Egypt?

وَقالَ الشَّعبُ لِمُوسَى: «هَلْ أحضَرْتَنا إلَى هُنا لِنَمُوتَ فِي الصَّحراءِ، لِأنَّهُ لَمْ تَكُنْ هُناكَ قُبُورٌ فِي مِصرَ؟ لِماذا صَنَعتَ هَذا بِنا وَأخرَجْتَنا مِنْ مِصرَ؟

12 I s not this the word which we spake unto thee in Egypt, saying, Cease from us, and we serve the Egyptians; for better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in a wilderness?'

ألَيسَ هَذا ما قُلْناهُ لَكَ فِي مِصرَ: ‹دَعْنا وَشَأنَنا فَنَخْدِمَ المِصرِيِّينَ.› نُفَضِّلُ أنْ نَخدِمَ فِي مِصرَ عَلَى أنْ نَمُوتَ فِي الصَّحْراءِ!»

13 A nd Moses saith unto the people, `Fear not, station yourselves, and see the salvation of Jehovah, which He doth for you to-day; for, as ye have seen the Egyptians to-day, ye add no more to see them -- to the age;

فَقالَ مُوسَى لِلشَّعبِ: «لا تَخافُوا. قِفُوا وَانظُرُوا خَلاصَ اللهِ الَّذِي سَيَصْنَعُهُ لَكُمُ اليَومَ. قَدْ رَأيتُمُ المِصرِيِّينَ اليَومَ، لَكِنْ لَنْ تَرُوهُمْ ثانِيَةً.

14 J ehovah doth fight for you, and ye keep silent.'

سَيُحارِبُ اللهُ عَنكُمْ، وَأنتُمْ صامِتُونَ.»

15 A nd Jehovah saith unto Moses, `What? thou criest unto Me -- speak unto the sons of Israel, and they journey;

وَقالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى: «لِماذا تَصرُخُ إلَيَّ؟ أخبِرْ بَني إسْرائِيلَ أنْ يَستَمِرُّوا فِي الارتِحالِ.

16 a nd thou, lift up thy rod, and stretch out thy hand towards the sea, and cleave it, and the sons of Israel go into the midst of the sea on dry land.

ارفَعْ عَصاكَ الآنَ وَمُدَّ يَدَكَ عَلَى البَحرِ وَشُقَّهُ، لِيَتَمَكَّنَ بَنُو إسْرائِيلَ مِنَ السَّيرِ عَبْرَ البَحرِ إلَى أرْضٍ يابِسَةٍ.

17 ` And I -- lo, I am strengthening the heart of the Egyptians, and they go in after them, and I am honoured on Pharaoh, and on all his force, on his chariots, and on his horsemen;

سَأُقَسِّي قُلُوبَ المِصرِيِّينَ لِيَتبَعُوهُمْ. سَأتَمَجَّدُ بِفِرعَونَ وَبِكُلِّ جَيشِهِ وَبِعَرَباتِهِ وَبِفُرسانِهِ.

18 a nd the Egyptians have known that I Jehovah, in My being honoured on Pharaoh, on his chariots, and on his horsemen.'

وَسَيَعرِفُ المِصرِيُّونَ أنِّي أنا اللهُ حِينَ أتَمَجَّدُ بِفِرعَونَ وَمَركِباتِهِ وَفُرسانِهِ.»

19 A nd the messenger of God, who is going before the camp of Israel, journeyeth and goeth at their rear; and the pillar of the cloud journeyeth from their front, and standeth at their rear,

وَانتَقَلَ مَلاكُ اللهِ الَّذِي كانَ يَسِيرُ أمامَهُمُ وَسارَ خَلفَهُمْ. فانتَقَلَ عَمُودُ السَّحابِ مِنْ أمامِهِمْ وَوَقَفَ خَلفَهُمْ.

20 a nd cometh in between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel, and the cloud and the darkness are, and he enlighteneth the night, and the one hath not drawn near unto the other all the night.

فَوَقَفَ بَينَ مُخَيَّمِ المِصرِيِّينَ وَمُخَيَّمِ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ. وَكانَ هُناكَ سَحابٌ وَظُلمَةٌ. وَقَدْ أضاءَ السَّحابُ اللَّيلَ. وَلَمْ يَقتَرِبْ أيٌّ مِنَ الفَرِيقَيْنِ إلَى الآخَرِ طِيلَةَ اللَّيلِ.

21 A nd Moses stretcheth out his hand towards the sea, and Jehovah causeth the sea to go on by a strong east wind all the night, and maketh the sea become dry ground, and the waters are cleaved,

وَمَدَّ مُوسَى يَدَهُ عَلَى البَحرِ، فَأزاحَ اللهُ البَحرَ إلَى الخَلفِ بِرِيحٍ شَرقِيَّةٍ قَوِيَّةٍ طَوالَ اللَّيلِ، وَحَوَّلَ البَحرَ إلَى أرْضٍ يابِسَةٍ، إذْ شَقَّ المِياهَ نِصْفينِ.

22 a nd the sons of Israel go into the midst of the sea, on dry land, and the waters to them a wall, on their right and on their left.

فَسارَ بَنو إسْرائِيلَ فِي وَسَطِ البَحرِ عَلَى أرْضٍ يابِسَةٍ. وَصارَتِ المِياهُ جِداراً لَهُمْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِمْ وَعَنْ يَسارِهِمْ.

23 A nd the Egyptians pursue, and go in after them (all the horses of Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen) unto the midst of the sea,

فَتَبِعَهُمُ المِصرِيِّونَ، وَتَبِعَتْهُمْ جَمِيعُ خُيُولِ فِرعَوْنَ وَعَرَباتِهِ وَفُرسانِهِ فِي وَسَطِ البَحرِ.

24 a nd it cometh to pass, in the morning watch, that Jehovah looketh unto the camp of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubleth the camp of the Egyptians,

وَقُربَ الصُّبحِ، نَظَرَ اللهُ مِنْ خِلالِ النّارِ وَالسَّحابِ إلَى مُخَيَّمِ المِصرِيِّينَ، فَأفْزَعَهُمْ.

25 a nd turneth aside the wheels of their chariots, and they lead them with difficulty, and the Egyptians say, `Let us flee from the face of Israel, for Jehovah is fighting for them against the Egyptians.'

وَعَطَّلَ عَجَلاتِ عَرَباتِ فِرعَوْنَ، فَساقُوها بِصُعُوبَةٍ. فَقالَ المِصرِيُّونَ: «لِنَهرُبْ مِنْ أمامِ إسْرائِيلَ، لِأنَّ اللهَ يُحارِبُ مِصرَ عَنهُمْ.»

26 A nd Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Stretch out thy hand toward the sea, and the waters turn back on the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen.'

وَقالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى: «مُدَّ يَدَكَ عَلَى البَحرِ لِتَعُودَ المِياهُ عَلَى المِصرِيِّينَ وَعَرَباتِهِمْ وَفُرسانِهِمْ.»

27 A nd Moses stretcheth out his hand towards the sea, and the sea turneth back, at the turning of the morning, to its perennial flow, and the Egyptians are fleeing at its coming, and Jehovah shaketh off the Egyptians in the midst of the sea,

فَمَدَّ مُوسَى يَدَهُ عَلَى البَحرِ، فَعادَتِ المِياهُ كَما كانَتْ، بَينَما المِصرِيُّونَ يَهْرُبُونَ، فَغَطَّتْهُمُ المِياهُ. فأغْرَقَ اللهُ المِصرِيِّينَ فِي البَحرِ.

28 a nd the waters turn back, and cover the chariots and the horsemen, even all the force of Pharaoh, who are coming in after them into the sea -- there hath not been left of them even one.

وَرَجِعَتِ المِيَاهُ وَأغرَقَتْ عَرَباتِ وَفُرسانَ جَيشِ فِرعَوْنَ الَّذِي تَبِعَهُمْ فِي البَحرِ. وَلَمْ يَنْجُ مِنهُمْ أحَدٌ.

29 A nd the sons of Israel have gone on dry land in the midst of the sea, and the waters to them a wall, on their right and on their left;

وَأمّا بَنو إسْرائِيلَ فَسارُوا عَلَى أرْضٍ جافَّةٍ فِي وَسَطِ البَحرِ، وَكانَتِ المِياهُ جِداراً لَهُمْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِمْ وَعَنْ يَسارِهِمْ.

30 a nd Jehovah saveth Israel in that day out of the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel seeth the Egyptians dead on the sea-shore,

فِي ذَلِكَ اليَومِ خَلَّصَ اللهُ إسْرائِيلَ مِنْ يَدِ المِصرِيِّينَ. وَرَأى بَنُو إسْرائِيلَ المِصرِيِّينَ مَوتَى عَلَى شاطِئِ البَحرِ.

31 a nd Israel seeth the great hand with which Jehovah hath wrought against the Egyptians, and the people fear Jehovah, and remain stedfast in Jehovah, and in Moses His servant.

رَأى بَنُو إسْرائِيلَ العَمَلَ العَظِيمَ الَّذِي عَمِلَهُ اللهُ ضِدَّ المِصرِيِّينَ، وَخافَ الشَّعبُ اللهَ ، وَوَضَعُوا ثِقَتَهُمْ بِهِ وَبِمُوسَى خادِمِهِ.
