وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِأَبْرَامَ: «ٱذْهَبْ مِنْ أَرْضِكَ وَمِنْ عَشِيرَتِكَ وَمِنْ بَيْتِ أَبِيكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أُرِيكَ. ١ 1
Now God had said to Abram, "Go out from your country, and from your relatives, and from your father's house, to the land that I will show you.
فَأَجْعَلَكَ أُمَّةً عَظِيمَةً وَأُبَارِكَكَ وَأُعَظِّمَ ٱسْمَكَ، وَتَكُونَ بَرَكَةً. ٢ 2
And I will make of you a great nation. And I will bless you and make your name great. And you will be a blessing.
وَأُبَارِكُ مُبَارِكِيكَ، وَلَاعِنَكَ أَلْعَنُهُ. وَتَتَبَارَكُ فِيكَ جَمِيعُ قَبَائِلِ ٱلْأَرْضِ». ٣ 3
And I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse those who treat you with contempt, and through you all the families of the earth will be blessed."
فَذَهَبَ أَبْرَامُ كَمَا قَالَ لَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ وَذَهَبَ مَعَهُ لُوطٌ. وَكَانَ أَبْرَامُ ٱبْنَ خَمْسٍ وَسَبْعِينَ سَنَةً لَمَّا خَرَجَ مِنْ حَارَانَ. ٤ 4
So Abram left, as God had told him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.
فَأَخَذَ أَبْرَامُ سَارَايَ ٱمْرَأَتَهُ، وَلُوطًا ٱبْنَ أَخِيهِ، وَكُلَّ مُقْتَنَيَاتِهِمَا ٱلَّتِي ٱقْتَنَيَا وَٱلنُّفُوسَ ٱلَّتِي ٱمْتَلَكَا فِي حَارَانَ. وَخَرَجُوا لِيَذْهَبُوا إِلَى أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ. فَأَتَوْا إِلَى أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ. ٥ 5
Abram took Sarai his wife, Lot his brother's son, and all their possessions that they had accumulated, and the people whom they had acquired in Haran, and they left to go to the land of Canaan. And they came to the land of Canaan,
وَٱجْتَازَ أَبْرَامُ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَى مَكَانِ شَكِيمَ إِلَى بَلُّوطَةِ مُورَةَ. وَكَانَ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيُّونَ حِينَئِذٍ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. ٦ 6
and Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. At that time the Canaanites were in the land.
وَظَهَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِأَبْرَامَ وَقَالَ: «لِنَسْلِكَ أُعْطِي هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضَ». فَبَنَى هُنَاكَ مَذْبَحًا لِلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي ظَهَرَ لَهُ. ٧ 7
Then God appeared to Abram and said to him, "I will give this land to your offspring." He built an altar there God, who appeared to him.
ثُمَّ نَقَلَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ إِلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ شَرْقِيَّ بَيْتِ إِيلٍ وَنَصَبَ خَيْمَتَهُ. وَلَهُ بَيْتُ إِيلَ مِنَ ٱلْمَغْرِبِ وَعَايُ مِنَ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ. فَبَنَى هُنَاكَ مَذْبَحًا لِلرَّبِّ وَدَعَا بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ. ٨ 8
He left from there to the mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Ai on the east. There he built an altar and called on the name of God.
ثُمَّ ٱرْتَحَلَ أَبْرَامُ ٱرْتِحَالًا مُتَوَالِيًا نَحْوَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ. ٩ 9
And Abram traveled on, continuing toward the Negev.
وَحَدَثَ جُوعٌ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَٱنْحَدَرَ أَبْرَامُ إِلَى مِصْرَ لِيَتَغَرَّبَ هُنَاكَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْجُوعَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ كَانَ شَدِيدًا. ١٠ 10
There was a famine in the land, so Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there, because the famine was severe in the land.
وَحَدَثَ لَمَّا قَرُبَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ مِصْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِسَارَايَ ٱمْرَأَتِهِ: «إِنِّي قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكِ ٱمْرَأَةٌ حَسَنَةُ ٱلْمَنْظَرِ. ١١ 11
It happened, when he had come near to enter Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, "Look, I know what a beautiful woman you are.
فَيَكُونُ إِذَا رَآكِ ٱلْمِصْرِيُّونَ أَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ: هَذِهِ ٱمْرَأَتُهُ. فَيَقْتُلُونَنِي وَيَسْتَبْقُونَكِ. ١٢ 12
It will happen, when the Egyptians will see you, that they will say, 'This is his wife.' And they will kill me, but they will let you live.
قُولِي إِنَّكِ أُخْتِي، لِيَكُونَ لِي خَيْرٌ بِسَبَبِكِ وَتَحْيَا نَفْسِي مِنْ أَجْلِكِ». ١٣ 13
Please say that you are my sister, that it may be well with me for your sake, and that I may live because of you."
فَحَدَثَ لَمَّا دَخَلَ أَبْرَامُ إِلَى مِصْرَ أَنَّ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ رَأَوْا ٱلْمَرْأَةَ أَنَّهَا حَسَنَةٌ جِدًّا. ١٤ 14
It happened that when Abram had come into Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.
وَرَآهَا رُؤَسَاءُ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَدَحُوهَا لَدَى فِرْعَوْنَ، فَأُخِذَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ إِلَى بَيْتِ فِرْعَوْنَ، ١٥ 15
The princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into the household of Pharaoh.
فَصَنَعَ إِلَى أَبْرَامَ خَيْرًا بِسَبَبِهَا، وَصَارَ لَهُ غَنَمٌ وَبَقَرٌ وَحَمِيرٌ وَعَبِيدٌ وَإِمَاءٌ وَأُتُنٌ وَجِمَالٌ. ١٦ 16
He dealt well with Abram for her sake, and he acquired sheep, cattle, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels.
فَضَرَبَ ٱلرَّبُّ فِرْعَوْنَ وَبَيْتَهُ ضَرَبَاتٍ عَظِيمَةً بِسَبَبِ سَارَايَ ٱمْرَأَةِ أَبْرَامَ. ١٧ 17
But God plagued Pharaoh and his house with great and grievous plagues because of Sarai, Abram's wife.
فَدَعَا فِرْعَوْنُ أَبْرَامَ وَقَالَ: «مَا هَذَا ٱلَّذِي صَنَعْتَ بِي؟ لِمَاذَا لَمْ تُخْبِرْنِي أَنَّهَا ٱمْرَأَتُكَ؟ ١٨ 18
Pharaoh summoned Abram and said, "What is this that you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she was your wife?
لِمَاذَا قُلْتَ: هِيَ أُخْتِي، حَتَّى أَخَذْتُهَا لِي لِتَكُونَ زَوْجَتِي؟ وَٱلْآنَ هُوَذَا ٱمْرَأَتُكَ! خُذْهَا وَٱذْهَبْ!». ١٩ 19
Why did you say, 'She is my sister,' so that I took her to be my wife? Now therefore, look, your wife is before you. Take, and go."
فَأَوْصَى عَلَيْهِ فِرْعَوْنُ رِجَالًا فَشَيَّعُوهُ وَٱمْرَأَتَهُ وَكُلَّ مَا كَانَ لَهُ. ٢٠ 20
Pharaoh commanded men concerning him, and they sent him away with his wife and all his possessions.
