NAV
وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ ذَهَبَ مُوسَى وَهَرُونُ وَقَالا لِفِرْعَوْنَ: «هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: أَطْلِقْ شَعْبِي لِيَحْتَفِلَ لِي فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ».
BSB
BSB:
After that, Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Let My people go, so that they may hold a feast to Me in the wilderness.’”
2
NAV
فَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ: «مَنْ هُوَ الرَّبُّ حَتَّى أُطِيعَ أَمْرَهُ وَأُطْلِقَ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ أَنَا لَا أَعْرِفُ الرَّبَّ وَلَنْ أُطْلِقَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ».
BSB
BSB:
But Pharaoh replied, “Who is the LORD that I should obey His voice and let Israel go? I do not know the LORD, and I will not let Israel go.”
3
NAV
ثُمَّ قَالا: «إِنَّ إِلَهَ الْعِبْرَانِيِّينَ قَدِ الْتَقَانَا، فَدَعْنَا نَذْهَبُ مَسِيرَةَ ثَلاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ لِنُقَدِّمَ ذَبَائِحَ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا لِئَلّا يُعَاقِبَنَا بِوَبَأٍ أَوْ سَيْفٍ».
BSB
BSB:
“The God of the Hebrews has met with us,” they answered. “Please let us go on a three-day journey into the wilderness to sacrifice to the LORD our God, or He may strike us with plagues or with the sword.”
4
NAV
فَقَالَ لَهُمَا مَلِكُ مِصْرَ: «يَا مُوسَى وَهَرُونُ، لِمَاذَا تُعَطِّلانِ الشَّعْبَ عَنْ أَعْمَالِهِ؟ ارْجِعُوا إِلَى أَعْمَالِكُمُ الشَّاقَةِ».
BSB
BSB:
But the king of Egypt said to them, “Moses and Aaron, why do you draw the people away from their work? Get back to your labor!”
5
NAV
ثُمَّ قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ: «هُوَذَا شَعْبُ الأَرْضِ قَدْ كَثُرَ الآنَ، وَأَنْتُمَا تُرِيدَانِ أَنْ تُرِيحَاهُمْ مِنَ الأَعْمَالِ الشَّاقَةِ».
BSB
BSB:
Pharaoh also said, “Look, the people of the land are now numerous, and you would be stopping them from their labor.”
6
NAV
فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ أَمَرَ فِرْعَوْنُ الْقَائِمِينَ عَلَى تَسْخِيرِ الشَّعْبِ وَرُؤَسَاءَ الْعُمَّالِ قَائِلاً:
BSB
BSB:
That same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people and their foremen:
7
NAV
«كُفُّوا عَنْ إِعْطَاءِ الشَّعْبِ تِبْناً لِصُنْعِ اللِّبْنِ كَمَا كُنْتُمْ تَفْعَلُونَ سَابِقاً، وَلْيَذْهَبُوا هُمْ وَيَجْمَعُوا تِبْناً لأَنْفُسِهِمْ.
BSB
BSB:
“You shall no longer supply the people with straw for making bricks. They must go and gather their own straw.
8
NAV
وَطَالِبُوهُمْ بِإِنْتَاجِ نَفْسِ كَمِّيَّةِ اللِّبْنِ السَّابِقَةِ. لَا تُنْقِصُوهَا فَإِنَّهُمْ كُسَالَى، لِذَلِكَ يَصْرُخُونَ قَائِلِينَ: دَعْنَا نَذْهَبُ وَنَذْبَحُ لإِلَهِنَا.
BSB
BSB:
But require of them the same quota of bricks as before; do not reduce it. For they are lazy; that is why they are crying out, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to our God.’
9
NAV
ثَقِّلُوا الْعَمَلَ عَلَى كَوَاهِلِ الْقَوْمِ حَتَّى يَشْتَغِلُوا بِهِ وَلا يَلْتَفِتُوا إِلَى الأَقْوَالِ الْكَاذِبَةِ».
BSB
BSB:
Make the work harder on the men so they will be occupied and pay no attention to these lies.”
10
NAV
فَخَرَجَ مُسَخِّرُو الشَّعْبِ وَرُؤَسَاءُ الْعُمَّالِ وَخَاطَبُوا الشَّعْبَ قَائِلِينَ: «هَكَذَا يَقُولُ فِرْعَوْنُ: لَنْ أُعْطِيَكُمْ تِبْناً.
BSB
BSB:
So the taskmasters and foremen of the people went out and said to them, “This is what Pharaoh says: ‘I am no longer giving you straw.
11
NAV
اذْهَبُوا أَنْتُمْ وَاجْمَعُوا لأَنْفُسِكُمْ تِبْناً حَيْثُ تَجِدُونَهُ عَلَى أَلّا يَنْقُصَ إِنْتَاجُكُمْ».
BSB
BSB:
Go and get your own straw wherever you can find it; but your workload will in no way be reduced.’”
12
NAV
فَتَفَرَّقَ الشَّعْبُ فِي كُلِّ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ لِيَجْمَعُوا قَشّاً بَدَلاً مِنَ التِّبْنِ.
BSB
BSB:
So the people scattered all over the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw.
13
NAV
وَكَانَ الْمُسَخِّرُونَ يَلِحُّونَ عَلَيْهِمْ قَائِلِينَ: «أَوْفُوا أَعْمَالَكُمْ، إِنْتَاجَ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ بِيَوْمِهِ كَمَا كَانَ الْحَالُ حِينَ تَوَافَرَ التِّبْنُ».
BSB
BSB:
The taskmasters kept pressing them, saying, “Fulfill your quota each day, just as you did when straw was provided.”
14
NAV
وَجَلَدَ مُسَخِّرُو فِرْعَوْنَ رْؤَسَاءَ الْعُمَّالِ الَّذِينَ أَقَامُوهُمْ عَلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلِينَ لَهُمْ: «لِمَاذَا لَمْ تُوْفُوا قِسْطَكُمْ مِنْ إِنْتَاجِ اللِّبْنِ أَمْسِ وَالْيَوْمَ كَمَا كُنْتُمْ تَفْعَلُونَ سَابِقاً؟»
BSB
BSB:
Then the Israelite foremen, whom Pharaoh’s taskmasters had set over the people, were beaten and asked, “Why have you not fulfilled your quota of bricks yesterday or today, as you did before?”
15
NAV
فَأَقْبَلَ رُؤَسَاءُ عُمَّالِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَتَوَسَّلُوا إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ قَائِلِينَ: «لِمَاذَا تَفْعَلُ هَكَذَا بِعَبِيدِكَ؟
BSB
BSB:
So the Israelite foremen went and appealed to Pharaoh: “Why are you treating your servants this way?
16
NAV
إِنَّ عَبِيدَكَ لَا يَحْصُلُونَ عَلَى التِّبْنِ، وَمُطَالَبُونَ بِكَمِّيَّةِ اللِّبْنِ نَفْسِهَا، وَيُجْلَدُ عَبِيْدُكَ أَيْضاً. وَلَكِنَّ الذَّنْبَ هُوَ ذَنْبُ شَعْبِكَ».
BSB
BSB:
No straw has been given to your servants, yet we are told, ‘Make bricks!’ Look, your servants are being beaten, but the fault is with your own people.”
17
NAV
غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «أَنْتُمْ كُسَالَى، لِذَلِكَ تَقُولُونَ: دَعْنَا نَذْهَبُ لِنَذْبَحَ لِلرَّبِّ.
BSB
BSB:
“You are slackers!” Pharaoh replied. “Slackers! That is why you keep saying, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to the LORD.’
18
NAV
هَيَّا اذْهَبُوا وَاعْمَلُوا، فَالتِّبْنُ لَنْ يُعْطَى لَكُمْ، وَعَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ تُنْتِجُوا كَامِلَ كَمِّيَّةِ اللِّبْنِ نَفْسِهَا».
BSB
BSB:
Now get to work. You will be given no straw, yet you must deliver the full quota of bricks.”
19
NAV
فَوَجَدَ رُؤَسَاءُ عُمَّالِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ فِي وَرْطَةٍ سَيِّئَةٍ بَعْدَ أَنْ قِيلَ لَهُمْ أَنْتِجُوا مِنْ لِبْنِكُمْ فَرِيضَةَ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ بِيَوْمِهِ. لَا تُنْقِصُوا مِنْهَا شَيْئاً
BSB
BSB:
The Israelite foremen realized they were in trouble when they were told, “You must not reduce your daily quota of bricks.”
20
NAV
وَصَادَفُوا مُوسَى وَهَرُونَ وَهُمَا وَاقِفَانِ فِي انْتِظَارِهِمْ عِنْدَ خُروجِهِمْ مِنْ لَدُنْ فِرْعَوْنَ
BSB
BSB:
When they left Pharaoh, they confronted Moses and Aaron, who stood waiting to meet them.
21
NAV
فَقَالُوا لَهُمَا: «لِيَنْظُرْ إِلَيْكُمَا الرَّبُّ وَيَقْضِ. لَقَدْ كَرَّهْتُمَا فِينَا فِرْعَوْنَ وَحَاشِيَتَهُ، وَأَعْطَيْتُمَاهُمْ سَيْفاً فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ لِيَقْتُلُونَا».
BSB
BSB:
“May the LORD look upon you and judge you,” the foremen said, “for you have made us a stench before Pharaoh and his officials; you have placed in their hand a sword to kill us!”
22
NAV
فَرَجَعَ مُوسَى إِلَى الرَّبِّ وَقَالَ: «لِمَاذَا أَسَأْتَ إِلَى شَعْبِكَ يَا رَبُّ؟ لِمَاذَا أَرْسَلْتَنِي؟
BSB
BSB:
So Moses returned to the LORD and asked, “Lord, why have You brought trouble upon this people? Is this why You sent me?
23
NAV
فَمُنْذُ أَنْ جِئْتُ لأُخَاطِبَ فِرْعَوْنَ بِاسْمِكَ، أَسَاءَ إِلَى الشَّعْبِ، وَأَنْتَ لَمْ تُخَلِّصْ شَعْبَكَ عَلَى الإِطْلاقِ».
BSB
BSB:
Ever since I went to Pharaoh to speak in Your name, he has brought trouble on this people, and You have not delivered Your people in any way.”
