1Yahweh spoke to Moses, “Depart, go up from here, you and the people that you have brought up out of the land of Egypt, to the land of which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, ‘I will give it to your seed.’
1وقال الرب لموسى اذهب اصعد من هنا انت والشعب الذي اصعدته من ارض مصر الى الارض التي حلفت لابراهيم واسحق ويعقوب قائلا لنسلك اعطيها.
2I will send an angel before you; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite:
2وانا ارسل امامك ملاكا واطرد الكنعانيين والاموريين والحثّيين والفرزّيين والحوّيين واليبوسيين.
3to a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the midst of you, for you are a stiff-necked people, lest I consume you in the way.”
3الى ارض تفيض لبنا وعسلا. فاني لا اصعد في وسطك لانك شعب صلب الرقبة. لئلا افنيك في الطريق.
4When the people heard this evil news, they mourned: and no one put on his jewelry.
4فلما سمع الشعب هذا الكلام السوء ناحوا ولم يضع احد زينته عليه.
5Yahweh said to Moses, “Tell the children of Israel, ‘You are a stiff-necked people. If I were to go up into your midst for one moment, I would consume you. Therefore now take off your jewelry from you, that I may know what to do to you.’”
5وكان الرب قد قال لموسى قل لبني اسرائيل انتم شعب صلب الرقبة. ان صعدت لحظة واحدة في وسطكم افنيتكم. ولكن الآن اخلع زينتك عنك فاعلم ماذا اصنع بك.
6The children of Israel stripped themselves of their jewelry from Mount Horeb onward.
6فنزع بنو اسرائيل زينتهم من جبل حوريب
7Now Moses used to take the tent and to pitch it outside the camp, far away from the camp, and he called it “The Tent of Meeting.” It happened that everyone who sought Yahweh went out to the Tent of Meeting, which was outside the camp.
7واخذ موسى الخيمة ونصبها له خارج المحلّة بعيدا عن المحلّة ودعاها خيمة الاجتماع. فكان كل من يطلب الرب يخرج الى خيمة الاجتماع التي خارج المحلة.
8It happened that when Moses went out to the Tent, that all the people rose up, and stood, everyone at their tent door, and watched Moses, until he had gone into the Tent.
8وكان جميع الشعب اذا خرج موسى الى الخيمة يقومون ويقفون كل واحد في باب خيمته وينظرون وراء موسى حتى يدخل الخيمة.
9It happened, when Moses entered into the Tent, that the pillar of cloud descended, stood at the door of the Tent, and spoke with Moses.
9وكان عمود السحاب اذا دخل موسى الخيمة ينزل ويقف عند باب الخيمة. ويتكلم الرب مع موسى.
10All the people saw the pillar of cloud stand at the door of the Tent, and all the people rose up and worshiped, everyone at their tent door.
10فيرى جميع الشعب عمود السحاب واقفا عند باب الخيمة. ويقوم كل الشعب ويسجدون كل واحد في باب خيمته ً.
11Yahweh spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. He turned again into the camp, but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, didn’t depart out of the Tent.
11ويكلم الرب موسى وجها لوجه كما يكلم الرجل صاحبه. واذا رجع موسى الى المحلّة كان خادمه يشوع بن نون الغلام لا يبرح من داخل الخيمة
12Moses said to Yahweh, “Behold, you tell me, ‘Bring up this people:’ and you haven’t let me know whom you will send with me. Yet you have said, ‘I know you by name, and you have also found favor in my sight.’
12وقال موسى للرب انظر. انت قائل لي أصعد هذا الشعب. وانت لم تعرّفني من ترسل معي. وانت قد قلت عرفتك باسمك. ووجدت ايضا نعمة في عينيّ.
13Now therefore, if I have found favor in your sight, please show me now your ways, that I may know you, so that I may find favor in your sight: and consider that this nation is your people.”
13فالآن ان كنت قد وجدت نعمة في عينيك فعلّمني طريقك حتى اعرفك لكي اجد نعمة في عينيك. وانظر ان هذه الامة شعبك.
14He said, “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”
14فقال وجهي يسير فأريحك.
15He said to him, “If your presence doesn’t go with me, don’t carry us up from here.
15فقال له ان لم يسر وجهك فلا تصعدنا من ههنا.
16For how would people know that I have found favor in your sight, I and your people? Isn’t it in that you go with us, so that we are separated, I and your people, from all the people who are on the surface of the earth?”
16فانه بماذا يعلم اني وجدت نعمة في عينيك انا وشعبك. أليس بمسيرك معنا. فنمتاز انا وشعبك عن جميع الشعوب الذين على وجه الارض.
17Yahweh said to Moses, “I will do this thing also that you have spoken; for you have found favor in my sight, and I know you by name.”
17فقال الرب لموسى هذا الامر ايضا الذي تكلمت عنه افعله. لانك وجدت نعمة في عيني وعرفتك باسمك
18He said, “Please show me your glory.”
18فقال أرني مجدك.
19He said, “I will make all my goodness pass before you, and will proclaim the name of Yahweh before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.”
19فقال أجيز كل جودتي قدامك. وانادي باسم الرب قدامك. واتراءف على من اتراءف وارحم من ارحم.
20He said, “You cannot see my face, for man may not see me and live.”
20وقال لا تقدر ان ترى وجهي. لان الانسان لا يراني ويعيش.
21Yahweh also said, “Behold, there is a place by me, and you shall stand on the rock.
21وقال الرب هوذا عندي مكان. فتقف على الصخرة.
22It will happen, while my glory passes by, that I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and will cover you with my hand until I have passed by;
22ويكون متى اجتاز مجدي اني اضعك في نقرة من الصخرة واسترك بيدي حتى اجتاز.
23then I will take away my hand, and you will see my back; but my face shall not be seen.”
23ثم ارفع يدي فتنظر ورائي. واما وجهي فلا يرى
