< اَلتَّكْوِينُ 12 >

وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِأَبْرَامَ: «ٱذْهَبْ مِنْ أَرْضِكَ وَمِنْ عَشِيرَتِكَ وَمِنْ بَيْتِ أَبِيكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أُرِيكَ. ١ 1
Now Yahweh said to Abram, “Go from your country, and from your relatives, and from your father's household, to the land that I will show you.
فَأَجْعَلَكَ أُمَّةً عَظِيمَةً وَأُبَارِكَكَ وَأُعَظِّمَ ٱسْمَكَ، وَتَكُونَ بَرَكَةً. ٢ 2
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
I will bless those who bless you, but whoever dishonors you I will curse. Through you will all the families of the earth 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 went, as Yahweh had told him to do, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he left 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, all their possessions that they had accumulated, and the people that they had acquired in Haran. They left to go into the land of Canaan, and came to the land of Canaan.
وَٱجْتَازَ أَبْرَامُ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَى مَكَانِ شَكِيمَ إِلَى بَلُّوطَةِ مُورَةَ. وَكَانَ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيُّونَ حِينَئِذٍ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. ٦ 6
Abram passed through the land as far as Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. At that time the Canaanites lived in the land.
وَظَهَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِأَبْرَامَ وَقَالَ: «لِنَسْلِكَ أُعْطِي هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضَ». فَبَنَى هُنَاكَ مَذْبَحًا لِلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي ظَهَرَ لَهُ. ٧ 7
Yahweh appeared to Abram, and said, “To your descendants I will give this land.” So there Abram built an altar to Yahweh, who had 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
From there he moved to the hill country to the east of Bethel, where he pitched his tent, with Bethel to the west and Ai to the east. There he built an altar to Yahweh and called on the name of Yahweh.
ثُمَّ ٱرْتَحَلَ أَبْرَامُ ٱرْتِحَالًا مُتَوَالِيًا نَحْوَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ. ٩ 9
Then Abram continued journeying, going 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 stay, for 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
When he was about to enter into Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, “See here, I know that you are a beautiful woman.
فَيَكُونُ إِذَا رَآكِ ٱلْمِصْرِيُّونَ أَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ: هَذِهِ ٱمْرَأَتُهُ. فَيَقْتُلُونَنِي وَيَسْتَبْقُونَكِ. ١٢ 12
When the Egyptians see you they will say, 'This is his wife,' and they will kill me, but they will keep you alive.
قُولِي إِنَّكِ أُخْتِي، لِيَكُونَ لِي خَيْرٌ بِسَبَبِكِ وَتَحْيَا نَفْسِي مِنْ أَجْلِكِ». ١٣ 13
Say that you are my sister, so that it may be well with me because of you, and so that my life will be spared because of you.”
فَحَدَثَ لَمَّا دَخَلَ أَبْرَامُ إِلَى مِصْرَ أَنَّ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ رَأَوْا ٱلْمَرْأَةَ أَنَّهَا حَسَنَةٌ جِدًّا. ١٤ 14
It came about that when Abram entered into Egypt, the Egyptians saw that Sarai 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 Pharaoh's household.
فَصَنَعَ إِلَى أَبْرَامَ خَيْرًا بِسَبَبِهَا، وَصَارَ لَهُ غَنَمٌ وَبَقَرٌ وَحَمِيرٌ وَعَبِيدٌ وَإِمَاءٌ وَأُتُنٌ وَجِمَالٌ. ١٦ 16
Pharaoh treated Abram well for her sake, and gave him sheep, oxen, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels.
فَضَرَبَ ٱلرَّبُّ فِرْعَوْنَ وَبَيْتَهُ ضَرَبَاتٍ عَظِيمَةً بِسَبَبِ سَارَايَ ٱمْرَأَةِ أَبْرَامَ. ١٧ 17
Then Yahweh afflicted Pharaoh and his house with great 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, here is your wife. Take her, and go your way.”
فَأَوْصَى عَلَيْهِ فِرْعَوْنُ رِجَالًا فَشَيَّعُوهُ وَٱمْرَأَتَهُ وَكُلَّ مَا كَانَ لَهُ. ٢٠ 20
Then Pharaoh gave orders to his men concerning him, and they sent him away, along with his wife and all that he had.
