Moshe Salyo De Mitzraim

This song is from the Moroccan tradition

Mose salyo de Misrayim / uyendo del ray Par'o

fuese derecho a Midian / enkontrose kon Yitro

Dyo le a por la ke'era temyente de Dio

Mose pasaba el ganado / ke su suegro le entrego

 

Y al pasando su ganado / al monte Horeb yego

asentose en una pyedra / esperando ver a Dio

 

Oyo una voz de deseya / Mose, Mose, me syervo

descalza de tuz zapatoz / ke'en lugar santo estaz tur

 

Vete derecho a Misrayim / dile al rey Paro

ke te enregey me puebo / a me puevlo ebreo

 

Y si no te entregaray / castigarle kiero yo

kon dies plaga ke le mmanday / pa'ke sepa  kien soy yo

 

(Hebrew) Hodu l'Adonai ki tov / ki le-olam hasdo

(Ladino) Alabado seya su nombre . por ke siempre bein nos dio.

 

 

 

 

 

Moses went out of Egypt / fleeing from king Pharaoh

 went directly to the land of Midian / and met Jethro

 

He was given his (Jethro's) daughter / because he was God-fearing,

Moses tended to his flock / which his father-in-law assigned to him.

 

While working / he came to the mountain of Horeb

he seated himself on a rock / waiting to see God.

 

He heard a voice which said / Moses, Moses, my servant

take off you shoes / you are in a Holy place.

 

 Go straight to Egypt / tell king Pharaoh

to send out my people / my Hebrew people.

 

And if he will not let them go / I will punish him

with ten plagues which I will send him / so that he will know who I am.

 

Give thanks to the Lord for His goodness / for His everlasting graciousness

Praised be His name / because of his continuing goodness
