Esodo (خروج) 14

SMITH VAN DYKE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 وكلم الرب موسى قائلا.	1 Then the LORD said to Moses,
2 كلم بني اسرائيل ان يرجعوا وينزلوا امام فم الحيروث بين مجدل والبحر امام بعل صفون. مقابله تنزلون عند البحر.	2 "Tell the Israelites to turn about and camp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea. You shall camp in front of Baal-zephon, just opposite, by the sea.
3 فيقول فرعون عن بني اسرائيل هم مرتبكون في الارض. قد استغلق عليهم القفر.	3 Pharaoh will then say, 'The Israelites are wandering about aimlessly in the land. The desert has closed in on them.'
4 واشدّد قلب فرعون حتى يسعى وراءهم. فاتمجد بفرعون وبجميع جيشه. ويعرف المصريون اني انا الرب. ففعلوا هكذا	4 Thus will I make Pharaoh so obstinate that he will pursue them. Then I will receive glory through Pharaoh and all his army, and the Egyptians will know that I am the LORD." This the Israelites did.
5 فلما أخبر ملك مصر ان الشعب قد هرب تغيّر قلب فرعون وعبيده على الشعب. فقالوا ماذا فعلنا حتى اطلقنا اسرائيل من خدمتنا.	5 When it was reported to the king of Egypt that the people had fled, Pharaoh and his servants changed their minds about them. "What have we done!" they exclaimed. "Why, we have released Israel from our service!"
6 فشدّ مركبته واخذ قومه معه.	6 So Pharaoh made his chariots ready and mustered his soldiers--
7 واخذ ست مئة مركبة منتخبة وسائر مركبات مصر وجنودا مركبيّة على جميعها.	7 six hundred first-class chariots and all the other chariots of Egypt, with warriors on them all.
8 وشدّد الرب قلب فرعون ملك مصر حتى سعى وراء بني اسرائيل وبنو اسرائيل خارجون بيد رفيعة.	8 So obstinate had the LORD made Pharaoh that he pursued the Israelites even while they were marching away in triumph.
9 فسعى المصريون وراءهم وادركوهم. جميع خيل مركبات فرعون وفرسانه وجيشه وهم نازلون عند البحر عند فم الحيروث امام بعل صفون	9 The Egyptians, then, pursued them; Pharaoh's whole army, his horses, chariots and charioteers, caught up with them as they lay encamped by the sea, at Pi-hahiroth, in front of Baal-zephon.
10 فلما اقترب فرعون رفع بنو اسرائيل عيونهم واذ المصريون راحلون وراءهم. ففزعوا جدا وصرخ بنو اسرائيل الى الرب.	10 Pharaoh was already near when the Israelites looked up and saw that the Egyptians were on the march in pursuit of them. In great fright they cried out to the LORD.
11 وقالوا لموسى هل لانه ليست قبور في مصر اخذتنا لنموت في البرية. ماذا صنعت بنا حتى اخرجتنا من مصر.	11 And they complained to Moses, "Were there no burial places in Egypt that you had to bring us out here to die in the desert? Why did you do this to us? Why did you bring us out of Egypt?
12 أليس هذا هو الكلام الذي كلمناك به في مصر قائلين كف عنا فنخدم المصريين. لانه خير لنا ان نخدم المصريين من ان نموت في البرية.	12 Did we not tell you this in Egypt, when we said, 'Leave us alone. Let us serve the Egyptians'? Far better for us to be the slaves of the Egyptians than to die in the desert."
13 فقال موسى للشعب لا تخافوا. قفوا وانظروا خلاص الرب الذي يصنعه لكم اليوم. فانه كما رأيتم المصريين اليوم لا تعودون ترونهم ايضا الى الابد.	13 But Moses answered the people, "Fear not! Stand your ground, and you will see the victory the LORD will win for you today. These Egyptians whom you see today you will never see again.
14 الرب يقاتل عنكم وانتم تصمتون	14 The LORD himself will fight for you; you have only to keep still."
15 فقال الرب لموسى مالك تصرخ اليّ. قل لبني اسرائيل ان يرحلوا.	15 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Why are you crying out to me? Tell the Israelites to go forward.
16 وارفع انت عصاك ومدّ يدك على البحر وشقّه. فيدخل بنو اسرائيل في وسط البحر على اليابسة.	16 And you, lift up your staff and, with hand outstretched over the sea, split the sea in two, that the Israelites may pass through it on dry land.
17 وها انا اشدد قلوب المصريين حتى يدخلوا وراءهم. فاتمجد بفرعون وكل جيشه بمركباته وفرسانه.	17 But I will make the Egyptians so obstinate that they will go in after them. Then I will receive glory through Pharaoh and all his army, his chariots and charioteers.
18 فيعرف المصريون اني انا الرب حين اتمجد بفرعون ومركباته وفرسانه.	18 The Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I receive glory through Pharaoh and his chariots and charioteers."
19 فانتقل ملاك الله السائر امام عسكر اسرائيل وسار وراءهم. وانتقل عمود السحاب من امامهم ووقف وراءهم.	19 The angel of God, who had been leading Israel's camp, now moved and went around behind them. The column of cloud also, leaving the front, took up its place behind them,
20 فدخل بين عسكر المصريين وعسكر اسرائيل وصار السحاب والظلام واضاء الليل. فلم يقترب هذا الى ذاك كل الليل	20 so that it came between the camp of the Egyptians and that of Israel. But the cloud now became dark, and thus the night passed without the rival camps coming any closer together all night long.
21 ومدّ موسى يده على البحر. فأجرى الرب البحر بريح شرقية شديدة كل الليل وجعل البحر يابسة وانشقّ الماء.	21 Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the LORD swept the sea with a strong east wind throughout the night and so turned it into dry land. When the water was thus divided,
22 فدخل بنو اسرائيل في وسط البحر على اليابسة والماء سور لهم عن يمينهم وعن يسارهم.	22 the Israelites marched into the midst of the sea on dry land, with the water like a wall to their right and to their left.
23 وتبعهم المصريون ودخلوا وراءهم. جميع خيل فرعون ومركباته وفرسانه الى وسط البحر.	23 The Egyptians followed in pursuit; all Pharaoh's horses and chariots and charioteers went after them right into the midst of the sea.
24 وكان في هزيع الصبح ان الرب اشرف على عسكر المصريين في عمود النار والسحاب وأزعج عسكر المصريين.	24 In the night watch just before dawn the LORD cast through the column of the fiery cloud upon the Egyptian force a glance that threw it into a panic;
25 وخلع بكر مركباتهم حتى ساقوها بثقلة. فقال المصريون نهرب من اسرائيل. لان الرب يقاتل المصريين عنهم	25 and he so clogged their chariot wheels that they could hardly drive. With that the Egyptians sounded the retreat before Israel, because the LORD was fighting for them against the Egyptians.
26 فقال الرب لموسى مدّ يدك على البحر ليرجع الماء على المصريين على مركباتهم وفرسانهم.	26 Then the LORD told Moses, "Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the water may flow back upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots and their charioteers."
27 فمدّ موسى يده على البحر فرجع البحر عند اقبال الصبح الى حاله الدائمة والمصريون هاربون الى لقائه. فدفع الرب المصريين في وسط البحر.	27 So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and at dawn the sea flowed back to its normal depth. The Egyptians were fleeing head on toward the sea, when the LORD hurled them into its midst.
28 فرجع الماء وغطى مركبات وفرسان جميع جيش فرعون الذي دخل ورائهم في البحر. لم يبق منهم ولا واحد.	28 As the water flowed back, it covered the chariots and the charioteers of Pharaoh's whole army which had followed the Israelites into the sea. Not a single one of them escaped.
29 واما بنو اسرائيل فمشوا على اليابسة في وسط البحر والماء سور لهم عن يمينهم وعن يسارهم	29 But the Israelites had marched on dry land through the midst of the sea, with the water like a wall to their right and to their left.
30 فخلّص الرب في ذلك اليوم اسرائيل من يد المصريين. ونظر اسرائيل المصريين امواتا على شاطئ البحر.	30 Thus the LORD saved Israel on that day from the power of the Egyptians. When Israel saw the Egyptians lying dead on the seashore
31 ورأى اسرائيل الفعل العظيم الذي صنعه الرب بالمصريين. فخاف الشعب الرب وآمنوا بالرب وبعبده موسى	31 and beheld the great power that the LORD had shown against the Egyptians, they feared the LORD and believed in him and in his servant Moses.
