Exodus 2

DOUAI-RHEIMS	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 After this there went a man of the house of Levi; and took a wife of his own kindred.	1 وذهب رجل من بيت لاوي واخذ بنت لاوي.
2 And she conceived, and bore a son; and seeing him a goodly child hid him three months.	2 فحبلت المرأة وولدت ابنا. ولما رأته انه حسن خبأته ثلاثة اشهر.
3 And when she could hide him no longer, she took a basket made of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and pitch: and put the little babe therein, and laid him in the sedges by the river's brink,	3 ولما لم يمكنها ان تخبئه بعد اخذت له سفطا من البردي وطلته بالحمر والزفت ووضعت الولد فيه ووضعته بين الحلفاء على حافة النهر.
4 His sister standing afar off, and taking notice what would be done.	4 ووقفت اخته من بعيد لتعرف ماذا يفعل به
5 And behold the daughter of Pharao came down to wash herself in the river: and her maids walked by the river's brink. And when she saw the basket in the sedges, she sent one of her maids for it: and when it was brought,	5 فنزلت ابنة فرعون الى النهر لتغتسل وكانت جواريها ماشيات على جانب النهر. فرأت السفط بين الحلفاء فارسلت أمتها واخذته.
6 She opened it and seeing within it an infant crying, having compassion on it she said: This is one of the babes of the Hebrews.	6 ولما فتحته رأت الولد واذا هو صبي يبكي. فرقّت له وقالت هذا من اولاد العبرانيين.
7 And the child's sister said to her Shall I go and call to thee a Hebrew woman, to nurse the babe ?	7 فقالت اخته لابنة فرعون هل اذهب وادعو لك امرأة مرضعة من العبرانيات لترضع لك الولد.
8 She answered: Go. The maid went and called her mother.	8 فقالت لها ابنة فرعون اذهبي. فذهبت الفتاة ودعت ام الولد.
9 And Pharao's daughter said to her. Take this child and nurse him for me: I will give thee thy wages. The woman took, and nursed the child: and when he was grown up, she delivered him to Pharao's daughter.	9 فقالت لها ابنة فرعون اذهبي بهذا الولد وارضعيه لي وانا اعطي اجرتك. فاخذت المرأة الولد وارضعته.
10 And she adopted him for a son, and called him Moses, saying: Because I took him out of the water.	10 ولما كبر الولد جاءت به الى ابنة فرعون فصار لها ابنا. ودعت اسمه موسى وقالت اني انتشلته من الماء
11 In those days after Moses was grown up, he went out to his brethren: and saw their affliction, and an Egyptian striking one of the Hebrews his brethren.	11 وحدث في تلك الايام لما كبر موسى انه خرج الى اخوته لينظر في اثقالهم. فرأى رجلا مصريا يضرب رجلا عبرانيا من اخوته.
12 And when he had looked about this way and that way, and saw no one there, he slew the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.	12 فالتفت الى هنا وهناك ورأى ان ليس احد فقتل المصري وطمره في الرمل.
13 And going out the next day, he saw two Hebrews quarreling: and he said to him that did the wrong: Why strikest thou thy neighbour?	13 ثم خرج في اليوم الثاني واذا رجلان عبرانيان يتخاصمان. فقال للمذنب لماذا تضرب صاحبك.
14 But he answered: Who hath appointed thee prince and judge over us: wilt thou kill me, as thou didst yesterday kill the Egyptian? Moses feared, and said: How is this come to be known ?	14 فقال من جعلك رئيسا وقاضيا علينا. أمفتكر انت بقتلي كما قتلت المصري. فخاف موسى وقال حقا قد عرف الامر.
15 And Pharao heard of this word and sought to kill Moses: but he fled from his sight, and abode in the land of Madian, and he sat down by a well.	15 فسمع فرعون هذا الامر فطلب ان يقتل موسى. فهرب موسى من وجه فرعون وسكن في ارض مديان وجلس عند البئر
16 And the priest of Madian had seven daughters, who came to draw water: and when the troughs were filled, desired to water their father's flocks.	16 وكان لكاهن مديان سبع بنات. فاتين واستقين وملأن الاجران ليسقين غنم ابيهنّ.
17 And the shepherds came and drove them away: and Moses arose, and defending the maids, watered their sheep.	17 فاتى الرعاة وطردوهنّ فنهض موسى وانجدهنّ وسقى غنمهنّ.
18 And when they returned to Raguel their father, he said to them: Why are ye come sooner than usual?	18 فلما اتين الى رعوئيل ابيهنّ قال ما بالكنّ اسرعتنّ في المجيء اليوم.
19 They answered: A man of Egypt delivered us from the hands of the shepherds: and he drew water also with us, and gave the sheep to drink.	19 فقلن رجل مصري انقذنا من ايدي الرعاة وانه استقى لنا ايضا وسقى الغنم.
20 But he said: Where is he? why have you let the man go? call him that he may eat bread.	20 فقال لبناته واين هو. لماذا تركتنّ الرجل. ادعونه لياكل طعاما.
21 And Moses swore that he would dwell with him. And he took Sephora his daughter to wife:	21 فارتضى موسى ان يسكن مع الرجل. فاعطى موسى صفورة ابنته.
22 And she bore him a son, whom he called Gersam, saying: I have been a stranger in a foreign country. And she bore another, whom he called Eliezer, saying: For the God of my father, my helper hath delivered me out of the hand of Pharao.	22 فولدت ابنا فدعا اسمه جرشوم. لانه قال كنت نزيلا في ارض غريبة
23 Now after a long time the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel groaning, cried out because of the works: and their cry went up unto God from the works.	23 وحدث في تلك الايام الكثيرة ان ملك مصر مات. وتنهّد بنو اسرائيل من العبودية وصرخوا. فصعد صراخهم الى الله من اجل العبودية.
24 And he heard their groaning, and remembered the covenant which he made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.	24 فسمع الله انينهم فتذّكر الله ميثاقه مع ابراهيم واسحق ويعقوب.
25 And the Lord looked upon the children of Israel, and he knew them.	25 ونظر الله بني اسرائيل وعلم الله
