Exodus 7

NEW JERUSALEM	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 Yahweh then said to Moses, 'Look, I have made you as a god for Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron is tobe your prophet.	1 فقال الرب لموسى انظر. انا جعلتك الها لفرعون. وهرون اخوك يكون نبيّك.
2 You must say whatever I command you, and your brother Aaron wil repeat to Pharaoh that he is to letthe Israelites leave his country.	2 انت تتكلم بكل ما آمرك. وهرون اخوك يكلم فرعون ليطلق بني اسرائيل من ارضه.
3 But I myself shal make Pharaoh stubborn and shall perform many a sign and wonder in Egypt.	3 ولكني اقسّي قلب فرعون واكثّر آياتي وعجائبي في ارض مصر.
4 Since Pharaoh wil not listen to you, I shal lay my hand on Egypt and with great acts of judgement leadmy armies, my people, the Israelites, out of Egypt.	4 ولا يسمع لكما فرعون حتى اجعل يدي على مصر فاخرج اجنادي شعبي بني اسرائيل من ارض مصر باحكام عظيمة.
5 And the Egyptians wil know that I am Yahweh when I stretch out my hand against the Egyptians andlead the Israelites out of their country.'	5 فيعرف المصريون اني انا الرب حينما امد يدي على مصر واخرج بني اسرائيل من بينهم.
6 Moses and Aaron did exactly as Yahweh had ordered.	6 ففعل موسى وهرون كما امرهما الرب. هكذا فعلا.
7 Moses was eighty years old and Aaron eighty-three, when they spoke to Pharaoh.	7 وكان موسى ابن ثمانين سنة وهرون ابن ثلاث وثمانين سنة حين كلما فرعون.
8 Yahweh said to Moses and Aaron,	8 وكلم الرب موسى وهرون قائلا.
9 'If Pharaoh says to you, "Display some marvel," you must say to Aaron, "Take your staff and throw itdown in front of Pharaoh, and let it turn into a serpent!" '	9 اذا كلمكما فرعون قائلا هاتيا عجيبة تقول لهرون خذ عصاك واطرحها امام فرعون فتصير ثعبانا.
10 Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did as Yahweh had ordered. Aaron threw down his staff infront of Pharaoh and his officials, and it turned into a serpent.	10 فدخل موسى وهرون الى فرعون وفعلا هكذا كما امر الرب. طرح هرون عصاه امام فرعون وامام عبيده فصارت ثعبانا.
11 Then Pharaoh in his turn called for the sages and sorcerers, and by their spells the magicians of Egyptdid the same.	11 فدعا فرعون ايضا الحكماء والسحرة. ففعل عرّافو مصر ايضا بسحرهم كذلك.
12 Each threw his staff down and these turned into serpents. But Aaron's staff swal owed up theirs.	12 طرحوا كل واحد عصاه فصارت العصي ثعابين. ولكن عصا هرون ابتلعت عصيهم.
13 Pharaoh, however, remained obstinate and, as Yahweh had foretold, refused to listen to Moses andAaron.	13 فاشتدّ قلب فرعون فلم يسمع لهما كما تكلم الرب
14 Yahweh then said to Moses, 'Pharaoh is adamant. He refuses to let the people go.	14 ثم قال الرب لموسى قلب فرعون غليظ. قد أبى ان يطلق الشعب.
15 Go to Pharaoh tomorrow morning as he makes his way to the water, confront him on the river bankand in your hand take the staff that turned into a snake.	15 اذهب الى فرعون في الصباح. انه يخرج الى الماء. وقف للقائه على حافة النهر. والعصا التي تحولت حية تاخذها في يدك.
16 Say to him, "Yahweh, God of the Hebrews, sent me to say: Let my people go and worship in thedesert. Up til now, you have refused to listen.	16 وتقول له الرب اله العبرانيين ارسلني اليك قائلا اطلق شعبي ليعبدوني في البرية. وهوذا حتى الآن لم تسمع.
17 This is what Yahweh says: You wil know that I am Yahweh by this: with the staff that is in my hand Ishall strike the waters of the River and they wil turn to blood.	17 هكذا يقول الرب بهذا تعرف اني انا الرب. ها انا اضرب بالعصا التي في يدي على الماء الذي في النهر فيتحول دما.
18 The fish in the river wil die, and the River wil stink, and the Egyptians will not be able to drink the riverwater." '	18 ويموت السمك الذي في النهر وينتن النهر. فيعاف المصريون ان يشربوا ماء النهر
19 Yahweh said to Moses, 'Say to Aaron, "Take your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters ofEgypt -- over their rivers and canals, their marshland, and all their reservoirs -- and they wil turn to blood. Therewil be blood throughout the whole of Egypt, even in sticks and stones." '	19 ثم قال الرب لموسى قل لهرون خذ عصاك ومد يدك على مياه المصريين على انهارهم وعلى سواقيهم وعلى آجامهم وعلى كل مجتمعات مياههم لتصير دما. فيكون دم في كل ارض مصر في الاخشاب وفي الاحجار.
20 Moses and Aaron did as Yahweh ordered. He raised his staff and struck the waters of the River, withPharaoh and his officials looking on, and al the water in the River turned to blood.	20 ففعل هكذا موسى وهرون كما امر الرب. رفع العصا وضرب الماء الذي في النهر امام عيني فرعون وامام عيون عبيده. فتحول كل الماء الذي في النهر دما.
21 The fish in the River died, and the River stank; and the Egyptians could no longer drink the Riverwater. Throughout the whole of Egypt there was blood.	21 ومات السمك الذي في النهر وأنتن النهر. فلم يقدر المصريون ان يشربوا ماء من النهر. وكان الدم في كل ارض مصر.
22 But by their spel s the magicians of Egypt did the same; Pharaoh remained obstinate and, as Yahwehhad foretold, refused to listen to Moses and Aaron.	22 وفعل عرّافو مصر كذلك بسحرهم. فاشتدّ قلب فرعون فلم يسمع لهما كما تكلم الرب
23 Pharaoh turned away and went back into his palace, taking no notice even of this.	23 ثم انصرف فرعون ودخل بيته ولم يوجّه قلبه الى هذا ايضا.
24 And the Egyptians al dug holes along the river-bank in search of drinking water, since they could notdrink the River water.	24 وحفر جميع المصريين حوالي النهر لاجل ماء ليشربوا. لانهم لم يقدروا ان يشربوا من ماء النهر
25 After Yahweh struck the River, seven days went by.	25 ولما كملت سبعة ايام بعدما ضرب الرب النهر
26 Then Yahweh said to Moses, 'Go to Pharaoh and say to him, "Yahweh says this: Let my people goand worship me.
27 If you refuse to let them go, I shal strike your whole territory with frogs.
28 The River wil swarm with frogs; they wil make their way into your palace, into your bedroom, ontoyour bed, into the houses of your officials and subjects, into your ovens, into your kneading bowls.
29 The frogs wil actual y clamber onto you, onto your subjects and onto all your officials." '
