Exodus 6

1 But the LORD said to Moses, “Now you will see what I will do to Pharaoh, for because of My mighty hand he will let the people go; because of My strong hand he will drive them out of his land.”

1 فَأَجَابَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى: «سَتَرَى الآنَ مَا أَنَا فَاعِلُهُ بِفِرْعَوْنَ، لأَنَّنِي بِيَدٍ قَدِيرَةٍ سَأَجْعَلُهُ يُطْلِقُهُمْ، بَلْ يَطْرُدُهُمْ طَرْداً أَيْضاً».

2 God also told Moses, “I am the LORD.

2 وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ.

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

3 قَدْ ظَهَرْتُ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ إِلَهاً قَدِيراً عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ. أَمَّا اسْمِي يَهْوَهْ (أَيِ الرَّبُّ) فَلَمْ أُعْلِنْهُ لَهُمْ.

4 I also established My covenant with them to give them the land of Canaan, the land where they lived as foreigners.

4 وَقَدْ قَطَعْتُ مَعَهُمْ أَيْضاً عَهْدِي بِأَنْ أَهَبَهُمْ أَرْضَ كَنْعَانَ حَيْثُ أَقَامُوا فِيهَا كَغُرَبَاءَ.

5 Furthermore, I have heard the groaning of the Israelites, whom the Egyptians are enslaving, and I have remembered My covenant.

5 كَذَلِكَ أَصْغَيْتُ إِلَى أَنِينِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ الْمُسْتَعْبَدِينَ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ، وَتَذَكَّرْتُ عَهْدِي

6 Therefore tell the Israelites: ‘I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians and deliver you from their bondage. I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgment.

6 لِهَذَا قُلْ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِنَّنِي أَنَا الرَّبُّ وَأَنَا أُحَرِّرُكُمْ مِنْ أَثْقَالِ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ وَأُنْقِذُكُمْ مِنْ عُبُودِيَّتِهِمْ، وَأُخَلِّصُكُمْ بِذِرَاعٍ مَمْدُودَةٍ وَأَحْكَامٍ قَوِيَّةٍ.

7 I will take you as My own people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the LORD your God, who brought you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians.

7 وَأَتَّخِذُكُمْ لِي شَعْباً وَأَكُونُ لَكُمْ إِلَهاً، فَتَعْرِفُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ مُحَرِّرُكُمْ مِنْ أَثْقَالِ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ.

8 And I will bring you into the land that I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I will give it to you as a possession. I am the LORD!’”

8 وَأَقُودُكُمْ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَقْسَمْتُ أَنْ أَهَبَهَا لإِبْرَاهِيمَ وإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ لأُعْطِيَهَا لَكُمْ مِلْكاً. أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ».

9 Moses relayed this message to the Israelites, but on account of their broken spirit and cruel bondage, they did not listen to him.

9 فَخَاطَبَ مُوسَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، لَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يُصْغُوا إِلَيْهِ لِتَوَجُّعِ نُفُوسِهِمْ وَعُبُودِيَّتِهِمِ الْقَاسِيَةِ.

10 So the LORD said to Moses,

10 وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى:

11 “Go and tell Pharaoh king of Egypt to let the Israelites go out of his land.”

11 «امْثُلْ أَمَامَ فِرْعَوْنَ مَلِكِ مِصْرَ وَاطْلُبْ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يُطْلِقَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنَ الأَرْضِ».

12 But in the LORD’s presence Moses replied, “If the Israelites will not listen to me, then why would Pharaoh listen to me, since I am unskilled in speech?”

12 فَأَجَابَ مُوسَى: «هُوَذَا بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ لَمْ يُصْغُوا إِلَيَّ، فَكَيْفَ يَسْتَمِعُ إِلَيَّ فِرْعَوْنُ وَأَنَا ثَقِيلُ اللِّسَانِ؟»

13 Then the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron and gave them a charge concerning both the Israelites and Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the Israelites out of the land of Egypt.

13 فَخَاطَبَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى وَهَرُونَ وَأَمَرَهُمَا أَنْ يَرْجِعَا إِلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَفِرْعَوْنَ مَلِكِ مِصْرَ، لِكَيْ يُطْلِقَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ.

14 These were the heads of their fathers’ houses: The sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel, were Hanoch and Pallu, Hezron and Carmi. These were the clans of Reuben.

14 وَهَؤُلاءِ هُمْ رُؤَسَاءُ الْعَشَائِرِ الْمُتَفَرِّعَةِ عَنْ أَبْنَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: أَبْنَاءُ رَأُوبَيْنَ بِكْرِ إِسْرَائِيلَ حَنُوكُ وَفَلُّو وَحَصْرُونُ وَكَرْمِي: هَذِهِ عَشَائِرُ رَأُوبَيْنَ.

15 The sons of Simeon were Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Shaul, the son of a Canaanite woman. These were the clans of Simeon.

15 أَبْنَاءُ شِمْعُونَ يَمُوئِيلُ وَيَامِينُ وَأُوهَدُ وَيَاكِينُ وَصُوحَرُ وَشَأُولُ وأُمُّهُ كَنْعَانِيَّةٌ: هَذِهِ هِي عَشَائِرُ شِمْعُونَ.

16 These were the names of the sons of Levi according to their records: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. Levi lived 137 years.

16 وَهَذِهِ أَسْمَاءُ أَبْنَاءِ لاوِي حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ: جِرْشُونُ وَقَهَاتُ وَمَرَارِي. وَقَدْ عَاشَ لاوِي مِئَةً وَسَبْعاً وَثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً.

17 The sons of Gershon were Libni and Shimei, by their clans.

17 أَمَّا ابْنَا جِرْشُونَ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمَا فَهُمَا: لِبْنِي وَشِمْعِي.

18 The sons of Kohath were Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel. Kohath lived 133 years.

18 وَأَبْنَاءُ قَهَاتَ هُمْ: عَمْرَامُ وَيِصْهَارُ وَحَبْرُونُ وَعُزِّيئِيلُ. وَقَدْ عَاشَ قَهَاتُ مِئَةً وَثَلاثاً وَثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً.

19 The sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi. These were the clans of the Levites according to their records.

19 وَابْنَا مَرَارِي هُمَا مَحْلِي وَمُوشِي. هَذِهِ هِيَ عَشَائِرُ اللّاوِيِّينَ بِحَسَبِ سِجِلِّ مَوَالِيدِهِمْ.

20 And Amram married his father’s sister Jochebed, and she bore him Aaron and Moses. Amram lived 137 years.

20 وَتَزَوَّجَ عَمْرَامُ عَمَّتَهُ يُوكَابَدَ فَأَنْجَبَتْ لَهُ هَرُونَ وَمُوسَى. وَقَدْ عَاشَ عَمْرَامُ مِئَةً وَسَبْعاً وَثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً.

21 The sons of Izhar were Korah, Nepheg, and Zichri.

21 وَأَبْنَاءُ يِصْهَارَ هُمْ: قُورَحُ وَنَافَجُ وَذِكْرِي.

22 The sons of Uzziel were Mishael, Elzaphan, and Sithri.

22 أَبْنَاءُ عُزِّيئِيلَ هُمْ: مِيشَائِيلُ وأَلْصَافَانُ وَسِتْرِي

23 And Aaron married Elisheba, the daughter of Amminadab and sister of Nahshon, and she bore him Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.

23 وَتَزَوَّجَ هَرُونُ مِنْ أَلِيشَابَعَ ابْنَةِ عَمِّينَادَابَ أُخْتِ نَحْشُونَ فَأَنْجَبَتْ لَهُ نَادَابَ وَأَبِيهُوَ وَأَلِعَازَارَ وإِيثَامَارَ.

24 The sons of Korah were Assir, Elkanah, and Abiasaph. These were the clans of the Korahites.

24 وَأَبْنَاءُ قُورَحَ هُمْ: أَسِّيرُ وَأَلْقَانَةُ وَأَبِيَأَسَافُ: هَذِهِ هِيَ عَشَائِرُ الْقُورَحِيِّينَ.

25 Aaron’s son Eleazar married one of the daughters of Putiel, and she bore him Phinehas. These were the heads of the Levite families by their clans.

25 وَتَزَوَّجَ أَلِعَازَارُ بنُ هَرُونَ مِنْ إِحْدَى بَنَاتِ فُوطِيئِيلَ فَأَنْجَبَتْ لَهُ فِيْنحَاسَ. هَؤُلاءِ رُؤَسَاءُ آبَاءِ اللّاوِيِّينَ بِحَسَبِ تَرْتِيبِ عَشَائِرِهِمْ.

26 It was this Aaron and Moses to whom the LORD said, “Bring the Israelites out of the land of Egypt by their divisions.”

26 هَذَانِ هُمَا هَروُنُ وَمُوسَى اللَّذَانِ قَالَ لَهُمَا الرَّبُّ: أَخْرِجَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ بِحَسَبِ فِرَقِهِمْ.

27 Moses and Aaron were the ones who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt in order to bring the Israelites out of Egypt.

27 وَهُمَا نَفْسُ مُوسَى وَهَرُونَ اللَّذَيْنِ خَاطَبَا فِرْعَوْنَ مَلِكَ مِصْرَ لِيُطْلِقَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ مِصْرَ.

28 Now on the day that the LORD spoke to Moses in Egypt,

28 وَحَدَثَ فِي الْيَوْمِ الَّذي كَلَّمَ فِيهِ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ

29 He said to him, “I am the LORD; tell Pharaoh king of Egypt everything I say to you.”

29 أَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَالَ لَهُ: «أَنَا الرَّبُّ بَلِّغْ فِرْعَوْنَ كُلَّ مَا أَقُولُهُ لَكَ».

30 But in the LORD’s presence Moses replied, “Since I am unskilled in speech, why would Pharaoh listen to me?”

30 فَأَجَابَهُ مُوسَى: «أَنَا ثَقِيلُ اللِّسَانِ فَكَيْفَ يَسْتَمِعُ لِي فِرْعَوْنُ؟»
