اَلتَّكْوِينُ 22
| وَحَدَثَ بَعْدَ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ أَنَّ ٱللهَ ٱمْتَحَنَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: «يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ!». فَقَالَ: «هَأَنَذَا». | ١ 1 |
After these things, God tempted Abraham, and said to him: Abraham, Abraham. And he answered: Here I am.
| فَقَالَ: «خُذِ ٱبْنَكَ وَحِيدَكَ، ٱلَّذِي تُحِبُّهُ، إِسْحَاقَ، وَٱذْهَبْ إِلَى أَرْضِ ٱلْمُرِيَّا، وَأَصْعِدْهُ هُنَاكَ مُحْرَقَةً عَلَى أَحَدِ ٱلْجِبَالِ ٱلَّذِي أَقُولُ لَكَ». | ٢ 2 |
He said to him: Take thy only begotten son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and go into the land of vision: and there thou shalt offer him for an holocaust upon one of the mountains which I will show thee.
| فَبَكَّرَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ صَبَاحًا وَشَدَّ عَلَى حِمَارِهِ، وَأَخَذَ ٱثْنَيْنِ مِنْ غِلْمَانِهِ مَعَهُ، وَإِسْحَاقَ ٱبْنَهُ، وَشَقَّقَ حَطَبًا لِمُحْرَقَةٍ، وَقَامَ وَذَهَبَ إِلَى ٱلْمَوْضِعِ ٱلَّذِي قَالَ لَهُ ٱللهُ. | ٣ 3 |
So Abraham rising up in the night, saddled his ass: and took with him two young men, and Isaac his son: and when he had cut wood for the holocaust he went his way to the place which God had commanded him.
| وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ رَفَعَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَيْنَيْهِ وَأَبْصَرَ ٱلْمَوْضِعَ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، | ٤ 4 |
And on the third day, lifting up his eyes, he saw the place afar off.
| فَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ لِغُلَامَيْهِ: «ٱجْلِسَا أَنْتُمَا هَهُنَا مَعَ ٱلْحِمَارِ، وَأَمَّا أَنَا وَٱلْغُلَامُ فَنَذْهَبُ إِلَى هُنَاكَ وَنَسْجُدُ، ثُمَّ نَرْجِعُ إِلَيْكُمَا». | ٥ 5 |
And he said to his young men: Stay you here with the ass: I and the boy will go with speed as far as yonder, and after we have worshipped, will return to you.
| فَأَخَذَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ حَطَبَ ٱلْمُحْرَقَةِ وَوَضَعَهُ عَلَى إِسْحَاقَ ٱبْنِهِ، وَأَخَذَ بِيَدِهِ ٱلنَّارَ وَٱلسِّكِّينَ. فَذَهَبَا كِلَاهُمَا مَعًا. | ٦ 6 |
And he took the wood for the holocaust, and laid it upon Isaac his son: and he himself carried in his hands fire and a sword. And as they two went on together,
| وَكَلَّمَ إِسْحَاقُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَبِاهُ وَقَالَ: «يَا أَبِي!». فَقَالَ: «هَأَنَذَا يَا ٱبْنِي». فَقَالَ: «هُوَذَا ٱلنَّارُ وَٱلْحَطَبُ، وَلَكِنْ أَيْنَ ٱلْخَرُوفُ لِلْمُحْرَقَةِ؟». | ٧ 7 |
Isaac said to his father: My father. And he answered: What wilt thou, son? Behold, saith he, fire and wood: where is the victim for the holocaust?
| فَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ: «ٱللهُ يَرَى لَهُ ٱلْخَرُوفَ لِلْمُحْرَقَةِ يَا ٱبْنِي». فَذَهَبَا كِلَاهُمَا مَعًا. | ٨ 8 |
And Abraham said: God will provide himself a victim for an holocaust, my son. So they went on together.
| فَلَمَّا أَتَيَا إِلَى ٱلْمَوْضِعِ ٱلَّذِي قَالَ لَهُ ٱللهُ، بَنَى هُنَاكَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ ٱلْمَذْبَحَ وَرَتَّبَ ٱلْحَطَبَ وَرَبَطَ إِسْحَاقَ ٱبْنَهُ وَوَضَعَهُ عَلَى ٱلْمَذْبَحِ فَوْقَ ٱلْحَطَبِ. | ٩ 9 |
And they came to the place which God had shown him, where he built an altar, and laid the wood in order upon it: and when he had bound Isaac his son, he laid him on the altar upon the pile of wood.
| ثُمَّ مَدَّ إِبْرَاهِيمُ يَدَهُ وَأَخَذَ ٱلسِّكِّينَ لِيَذْبَحَ ٱبْنَهُ. | ١٠ 10 |
And he put forth his hand and took the sword, to sacrifice his son.
| فَنَادَاهُ مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَقَالَ: «إِبْرَاهِيمُ! إِبْرَاهِيمُ!». فَقَالَ: «هَأَنَذَا». | ١١ 11 |
And behold an angel of the Lord from heaven called to him, saying: Abraham, Abraham. And he answered: Here I am.
| فَقَالَ: «لَا تَمُدَّ يَدَكَ إِلَى ٱلْغُلَامِ وَلَا تَفْعَلْ بِهِ شَيْئًا، لِأَنِّي ٱلْآنَ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكَ خَائِفٌ ٱللهَ، فَلَمْ تُمْسِكِ ٱبْنَكَ وَحِيدَكَ عَنِّي». | ١٢ 12 |
And he said to him: Lay not thy hand upon the boy, neither do thou any thing to him: now I know that thou fearest God, and hast not spared thy only begotten son for my sake.
| فَرَفَعَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَيْنَيْهِ وَنَظَرَ وَإِذَا كَبْشٌ وَرَاءَهُ مُمْسَكًا فِي ٱلْغَابَةِ بِقَرْنَيْهِ، فَذَهَبَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَأَخَذَ ٱلْكَبْشَ وَأَصْعَدَهُ مُحْرَقَةً عِوَضًا عَنِ ٱبْنِهِ. | ١٣ 13 |
Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw behind his back a ram amongst the briers sticking fast by the horns, which he took and offered for a holocaust instead of his son.
| فَدَعَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ ٱسْمَ ذَلِكَ ٱلْمَوْضِعِ «يَهْوَهْ يِرْأَهْ». حَتَّى إِنَّهُ يُقَالُ ٱلْيَوْمَ: «فِي جَبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ يُرَى». | ١٤ 14 |
And he called the name of that place, The Lord seeth. Whereupon even to this day it is said: In the mountain the Lord will see.
| وَنَادَى مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ثَانِيَةً مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ | ١٥ 15 |
And the angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time from heaven, saying:
| وَقَالَ: «بِذَاتِي أَقْسَمْتُ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، أَنِّي مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّكَ فَعَلْتَ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ، وَلَمْ تُمْسِكِ ٱبْنَكَ وَحِيدَكَ، | ١٦ 16 |
By my own self have I sworn, saith the Lord: because thou hast done this thing, and hast not spared thy only begotten son for my sake:
| أُبَارِكُكَ مُبَارَكَةً، وَأُكَثِّرُ نَسْلَكَ تَكْثِيرًا كَنُجُومِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَكَالرَّمْلِ ٱلَّذِي عَلَى شَاطِئِ ٱلْبَحْرِ، وَيَرِثُ نَسْلُكَ بَابَ أَعْدَائِهِ، | ١٧ 17 |
I will bless thee, and I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand that is by the sea shore: thy seed shall possess the gates of their enemies.
| وَيَتَبَارَكُ فِي نَسْلِكَ جَمِيعُ أُمَمِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّكَ سَمِعْتَ لِقَوْلِي». | ١٨ 18 |
And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because thou hast obeyed my voice.
| ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ إِلَى غُلَامَيْهِ، فَقَامُوا وَذَهَبُوا مَعًا إِلَى بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ. وَسَكَنَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ فِي بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ. | ١٩ 19 |
Abraham returned to his young men, and they went to Bersabee together, and he dwelt there.
| وَحَدَثَ بَعْدَ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ أَنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أُخْبِرَ وَقِيلَ لَهُ: «هُوَذَا مِلْكَةُ قَدْ وَلَدَتْ هِيَ أَيْضًا بَنِينَ لِنَاحُورَ أَخِيكَ: | ٢٠ 20 |
After these things, it was told Abraham that Melcha also had borne children to Nachor his brother.
| عُوصًا بِكْرَهُ، وَبُوزًا أَخَاهُ، وَقَمُوئِيلَ أَبَا أَرَامَ، | ٢١ 21 |
Hus the firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Camuel the father of the Syrians,
| وَكَاسَدَ وَحَزْوًا وَفِلْدَاشَ وَيِدْلَافَ وَبَتُوئِيلَ». | ٢٢ 22 |
And Cased, and Azau, and Pheldas, and Jedlaph,
| وَوَلَدَ بَتُوئِيلُ رِفْقَةَ. هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلثَّمَانِيَةُ وَلَدَتْهُمْ مِلْكَةُ لِنَاحُورَ أَخِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ. | ٢٣ 23 |
And Bathuel, of whom was born Rebecca: These eight did Melcha bear to Nachor Abraham’s brother.
| وَأَمَّا سُرِّيَّتُهُ، وَٱسْمُهَا رَؤُومَةُ، فَوَلَدَتْ هِيَ أَيْضًا: طَابَحَ وَجَاحَمَ وَتَاحَشَ وَمَعْكَةَ. | ٢٤ 24 |
And his concubine, named Roma, bore Tabee, and Gaham, and Tahas, and Maacha.
