Exodus 14

وَكَلَّمَ الرَّبُ مُوسَى قَائِلاً:

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

«كَلِّمْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يَرْجِعُوا وَيَنْزِلُوا أَمَامَ فَمِ الْحِيرُوثِ بَيْنَ مَجْدَلَ وَالْبَحْرِ، أَمَامَ بَعْلَ صَفُونَ. مُقَابِلَهُ تَنْزِلُونَ عِنْدَ الْبَحْرِ.

Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn and encamp before Pi–hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, over against Baal–zephon: before it shall ye encamp by the sea.

فَيَقُولُ فِرْعَوْنُ عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: هُمْ مُرْتَبِكُونَ فِي الأَرْضِ. قَدِ اسْتَغْلَقَ عَلَيْهِمِ الْقَفْرُ.

For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in.

وَأُشَدِّدُ قَلْبَ فِرْعَوْنَ حَتَّى يَسْعَى وَرَاءَهُمْ، فَأَتَمَجَّدُ بِفِرْعَوْنَ وَبِجَمِيعِ جَيْشِهِ، وَيَعْرِفُ الْمِصْرِيُّونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ». فَفَعَلُوا هكَذَا.

And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that he shall follow after them; and I will be honoured upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host; that the Egyptians may know that I am the LORD. And they did so.

فَلَمَّا أُخْبِرَ مَلِكُ مِصْرَ أَنَّ الشَّعْبَ قَدْ هَرَبَ، تَغَيَّرَ قَلْبُ فِرْعَوْنَ وَعَبِيدِهِ عَلَى الشَّعْبِ. فَقَالُوا: «مَاذَا فَعَلْنَا حَتَّى أَطْلَقْنَا إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ خِدْمَتِنَا؟»

And it was told the king of Egypt that the people fled: and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against the people, and they said, Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us?

فَشَدَّ مَرْكَبَتَهُ وَأَخَذَ قَوْمَهُ مَعَهُ.

And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him:

وَأَخَذَ سِتَّ مِئَةِ مَرْكَبَةٍ مُنْتَخَبَةٍ وَسَائِرَ مَرْكَبَاتِ مِصْرَ وَجُنُودًا مَرْكَبِيَّةً عَلَى جَمِيعِهَا.

And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them.

وَشَدَّدَ الرَّبُّ قَلْبَ فِرْعَوْنَ مَلِكِ مِصْرَ حَتَّى سَعَى وَرَاءَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَبَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ خَارِجُونَ بِيَدٍ رَفِيعَةٍ.

And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel: and the children of Israel went out with an high hand.

فَسَعَى الْمِصْرِيُّونَ وَرَاءَهُمْ وَأَدْرَكُوهُمْ. جَمِيعُ خَيْلِ مَرْكَبَاتِ فِرْعَوْنَ وَفُرْسَانِهِ وَجَيْشِهِ، وَهُمْ نَازِلُونَ عَِنْدَ الْبَحْرِ عَِنْدَ فَمِ الْحِيرُوثِ، أَمَامَ بَعْلَ صَفُونَ.

But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pi–hahiroth, before Baal–zephon.

فَلَمَّا اقْتَرَبَ فِرْعَوْنُ رَفَعَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ عُيُونَهُمْ، وَإِذَا الْمِصْرِيُّونَ رَاحِلُونَ وَرَاءَهُمْ. فَفَزِعُوِا جِدًّا، وَصَرَخَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى الرَّبِّ.

And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto the LORD.

وَقَالُوا لِمُوسَى: «هَلْ لأَنَّهُ لَيْسَتْ قُبُورٌ فِي مِصْرَ أَخَذْتَنَا لِنَمُوتَ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ؟ مَاذَا صَنَعْتَ بِنَا حَتَّى أَخْرَجْتَنَا مِنْ مِصْرَ؟

And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt?

أَلَيْسَ هذَا هُوَ الْكَلاَمُ الَّذِي كَلَّمْنَاكَ بِهِ فِي مِصْرَ قَائِلِينَ: كُفَّ عَنَّا فَنَخْدِمَ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ؟ لأَنَّهُ خَيْرٌ لَنَا أَنْ نَخْدِمَ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ مِنْ أَنْ نَمُوتَ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ».

Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.

فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِلشَّعْبِ: «لاَ تَخَافُوا. قِفُوا وَانْظُرُوا خَلاَصَ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي يَصْنَعُهُ لَكُمُ الْيَوْمَ. فَإِنَّهُ كَمَا رَأَيْتُمُ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ الْيَوْمَ، لاَ تَعُودُونَ تَرَوْنَهُمْ أَيْضًا إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.

الرَّبُّ يُقَاتِلُ عَنْكُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ تَصْمُتُونَ».

The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.

فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «مَا لَكَ تَصْرُخُ إِلَيَّ؟ قُلْ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يَرْحَلُوا.

And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward:

وَارْفَعْ أَنْتَ عَصَاكَ وَمُدَّ يَدَكَ عَلَى الْبَحْرِ وَشُقَّهُ، فَيَدْخُلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي وَسَطِ الْبَحْرِ عَلَى الْيَابِسَةِ.

But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.

وَهَا أَنَا أُشَدِّدُ قُلُوبَ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ حَتَّى يَدْخُلُوا وَرَاءَهُمْ، فَأَتَمَجَّدُ بِفِرْعَوْنَ وَكُلِّ جَيْشِهِ، بِمَرْكَبَاتِهِ وَفُرْسَانِهِ.

And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.

فَيَعْرِفُ الْمِصْرِيُّونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ حِينَ أَتَمَجَّدُ بِفِرْعَوْنَ وَمَرْكَبَاتِهِ وَفُرْسَانِهِ».

And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.

فَانْتَقَلَ مَلاَكُ اللهِ السَّائِرُ أَمَامَ عَسْكَرِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَسَارَ وَرَاءَهُمْ، وَانْتَقَلَ عَمُودُ السَّحَابِ مِنْ أَمَامِهِمْ وَوَقَفَ وَرَاءَهُمْ.

And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them:

فَدَخَلَ بَيْنَ عَسْكَرِ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ وَعَسْكَرِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَصَارَ السَّحَابُ وَالظَّلاَمُ وَأَضَاءَ اللَّيْلَ. فَلَمْ يَقْتَرِبْ هذَا إِلَى ذَاكَ كُلَّ اللَّيْلِ.

And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night.

وَمَدَّ مُوسَى يَدَهُ عَلَى الْبَحْرِ، فَأَجْرَى الرَّبُّ الْبَحْرَ بِرِيحٍ شَرْقِيَّةٍ شَدِيدَةٍ كُلَّ اللَّيْلِ، وَجَعَلَ الْبَحْرَ يَابِسَةً وَانْشَقَّ الْمَاءُ.

And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.

فَدَخَلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي وَسَطِ الْبَحْرِ عَلَى الْيَابِسَةِ، وَالْمَاءُ سُورٌ لَهُمْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِمْ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِمْ.

And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.

وَتَبِعَهُمُ الْمِصْرِيُّونَ وَدَخَلُوا وَرَاءَهُمْ. جَمِيعُ خَيْلِ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَرْكَبَاتِهِ وَفُرْسَانِهِ إِلَى وَسَطِ الْبَحْرِ.

And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.

وَكَانَ فِي هَزِيعِ الصُّبْحِ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ أَشْرَفَ عَلَى عَسْكَرِ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ فِي عَمُودِ النَّارِ وَالسَّحَابِ، وَأَزْعَجَ عَسْكَرَ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ،

And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the LORD looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,

وَخَلَعَ بَكَرَ مَرْكَبَاتِهِمْ حَتَّى سَاقُوهَا بِثَقْلَةٍ. فَقَالَ الْمِصْرِيُّونَ: «نَهْرُبُ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يُقَاتِلُ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ عَنْهُمْ».

And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fighteth for them against the Egyptians.

فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «مُدَّ يَدَكَ عَلَى الْبَحْرِ لِيَرْجعَ الْمَاءُ عَلَى الْمِصْرِيِّينَ، عَلَى مَرْكَبَاتِهِمْ وَفُرْسَانِهِمْ».

And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.

فَمَدَّ مُوسَى يَدَهُ عَلَى الْبَحْرِ فَرَجَعَ الْبَحْرُ عِنْدَ إِقْبَالِ الصُّبْحِ إِلَى حَالِهِ الدَّائِمَةِ، وَالْمِصْرِيُّونَ هَارِبُونَ إِلَى لِقَائِهِ. فَدَفَعَ الرَّبُّ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ فِي وَسَطِ الْبَحْرِ.

And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.

فَرَجَعَ الْمَاءُ وَغَطَّى مَرْكَبَاتِ وَفُرْسَانَ جَمِيعِ جَيْشِ فِرْعَوْنَ الَّذِي دَخَلَ وَرَاءَهُمْ فِي الْبَحْرِ. لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْهُمْ وَلاَ وَاحِدٌ.

And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them.

وَأَمَّا بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فَمَشَوْا عَلَى الْيَابِسَةِ فِي وَسَطِ الْبَحْرِ، وَالْمَاءُ سُورٌ لَهُمْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِمْ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِمْ.

But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.

فَخَلَّصَ الرَّبُّ فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ يَدِ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ. وَنَظَرَ إِسْرَائِيلُ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ أَمْوَاتًا عَلَى شَاطِئِ الْبَحْرِ.

Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore.

وَرَأَى إِسْرَائِيلُ الْفَِعْلَ الْعَظِيمَ الَّذِي صَنَعَهُ الرَّبُّ بِالْمِصْرِيِّينَ، فَخَافَ الشَّعْبُ الرَّبَّ وَآمَنُوا بِالرَّبِّ وَبِعَبْدِهِ مُوسَى.

And Israel saw that great work which the LORD did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the LORD, and believed the LORD, and his servant Moses.
