¹فقال الرب لموسى انظر. انا جعلتك الها لفرعون. وهرون اخوك يكون نبيّك.

¹And Jehovah said unto Moses, See, I have made thee as God to Pharaoh; and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.

²انت تتكلم بكل ما آمرك. وهرون اخوك يكلم فرعون ليطلق بني اسرائيل من ارضه.

²Thou shalt speak all that I command thee; and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.

³ولكني اقسّي قلب فرعون واكثّر آياتي وعجائبي في ارض مصر.

³And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.

⁴ولا يسمع لكما فرعون حتى اجعل يدي على مصر فاخرج اجنادي شعبي بني اسرائيل من ارض مصر باحكام عظيمة.

⁴But Pharaoh will not hearken unto you, and I will lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth my hosts, my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.

⁵فيعرف المصريون اني انا الرب حينما امد يدي على مصر واخرج بني اسرائيل من بينهم.

⁵And the Egyptians shall know that I am Jehovah, when I stretch forth my hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.

⁶ففعل موسى وهرون كما امرهما الرب. هكذا فعلا.

⁶And Moses and Aaron did so; as Jehovah commanded them, so did they.

⁷وكان موسى ابن ثمانين سنة وهرون ابن ثلاث وثمانين سنة حين كلما فرعون.

⁷And Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years old, when they spake unto Pharaoh.

⁸وكلم الرب موسى وهرون قائلا.

⁸And Jehovah spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

⁹اذا كلمكما فرعون قائلا هاتيا عجيبة تقول لهرون خذ عصاك واطرحها امام فرعون فتصير ثعبانا.

⁹When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Show a wonder for you; then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it down before Pharaoh, that it become a serpent.

¹⁰فدخل موسى وهرون الى فرعون وفعلا هكذا كما امر الرب. طرح هرون عصاه امام فرعون وامام عبيده فصارت ثعبانا.

¹⁰And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so, as Jehovah had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent.

¹¹فدعا فرعون ايضا الحكماء والسحرة. ففعل عرّافو مصر ايضا بسحرهم كذلك.

¹¹Then Pharaoh also called for the wise men and the sorcerers: and they also, the magicians of Egypt, did in like manner with their enchantments.

¹²طرحوا كل واحد عصاه فصارت العصي ثعابين. ولكن عصا هرون ابتلعت عصيهم.

¹²For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.

¹³فاشتدّ قلب فرعون فلم يسمع لهما كما تكلم الرب

¹³And Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as Jehovah had spoken.

¹⁴ثم قال الرب لموسى قلب فرعون غليظ. قد أبى ان يطلق الشعب.

¹⁴And Jehovah said unto Moses, Pharaoh's heart is stubborn, he refuseth to let the people go.

¹⁵اذهب الى فرعون في الصباح. انه يخرج الى الماء. وقف للقائه على حافة النهر. والعصا التي تحولت حية تاخذها في يدك.

¹⁵Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goeth out unto the water; and thou shalt stand by the river's brink to meet him; and the rod which was turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thy hand.

¹⁶وتقول له الرب اله العبرانيين ارسلني اليك قائلا اطلق شعبي ليعبدوني في البرية. وهوذا حتى الآن لم تسمع.

¹⁶And thou shalt say unto him, Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews, hath sent me unto thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness: and, behold, hitherto thou hast not hearkened.

¹⁷هكذا يقول الرب بهذا تعرف اني انا الرب. ها انا اضرب بالعصا التي في يدي على الماء الذي في النهر فيتحول دما.

¹⁷Thus saith Jehovah, In this thou shalt know that I am Jehovah: behold, I will smite with the rod that is in my hand upon the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.

¹⁸ويموت السمك الذي في النهر وينتن النهر. فيعاف المصريون ان يشربوا ماء النهر

¹⁸And the fish that are in the river shall die, and the river shall become foul; and the Egyptians shall loathe to drink water from the river.

¹⁹ثم 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.

¹⁹And Jehovah said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out thy hand over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers, over their streams, and over their pools, and over all their ponds of water, that they may become blood; and there shall be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.

²⁰ففعل 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.

²⁰And Moses and Aaron did so, as Jehovah commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood.

²¹ومات السمك الذي في النهر وأنتن النهر. فلم يقدر المصريون ان يشربوا ماء من النهر. وكان الدم في كل ارض مصر.

²¹And the fish that were in the river died; and the river became foul, and the Egyptians could not drink water from the river; and the blood was throughout all the land of Egypt.

²²وفعل عرّافو مصر كذلك بسحرهم. فاشتدّ قلب فرعون فلم يسمع لهما كما تكلم الرب

²²And the magicians of Egypt did in like manner with their enchantments: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as Jehovah had spoken.

²³ثم انصرف فرعون ودخل بيته ولم يوجّه قلبه الى هذا ايضا.

²³And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he lay even this to heart.

²⁴وحفر جميع المصريين حوالي النهر لاجل ماء ليشربوا. لانهم لم يقدروا ان يشربوا من ماء النهر

²⁴And all the Egyptians digged round about the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river.

²⁵ولما كملت سبعة ايام بعدما ضرب الرب النهر

²⁵And seven days were fulfilled, after that Jehovah had smitten the river.
