اَلتَّكْوِينُ 22
| وَحَدَثَ بَعْدَ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ أَنَّ ٱللهَ ٱمْتَحَنَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: «يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ!». فَقَالَ: «هَأَنَذَا». | ١ 1 |
After these things, God tested Abraham [Father of a multitude], and said to him, “Abraham [Father of a multitude]!” He said, “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, “Now take your son, your only son, whom you 'ahavta ·affectionately love·, even Isaac [Laughter], and go into the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you of.”
| 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 |
Abraham [Father of a multitude] rose early in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac [Laughter] his son. He split the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went to the place of which God had told him.
| وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ رَفَعَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَيْنَيْهِ وَأَبْصَرَ ٱلْمَوْضِعَ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، | ٤ 4 |
On the third day Abraham [Father of a multitude] lifted up his eyes, and saw the place far off.
| فَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ لِغُلَامَيْهِ: «ٱجْلِسَا أَنْتُمَا هَهُنَا مَعَ ٱلْحِمَارِ، وَأَمَّا أَنَا وَٱلْغُلَامُ فَنَذْهَبُ إِلَى هُنَاكَ وَنَسْجُدُ، ثُمَّ نَرْجِعُ إِلَيْكُمَا». | ٥ 5 |
Abraham [Father of a multitude] said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey. The boy and I will go yonder. We will hawa ·bow low, prostrate· in worship, and come back to you.”
| فَأَخَذَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ حَطَبَ ٱلْمُحْرَقَةِ وَوَضَعَهُ عَلَى إِسْحَاقَ ٱبْنِهِ، وَأَخَذَ بِيَدِهِ ٱلنَّارَ وَٱلسِّكِّينَ. فَذَهَبَا كِلَاهُمَا مَعًا. | ٦ 6 |
Abraham [Father of a multitude] took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac [Laughter] his son. He took in his hand the fire and the knife. They both went together.
| وَكَلَّمَ إِسْحَاقُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَبِاهُ وَقَالَ: «يَا أَبِي!». فَقَالَ: «هَأَنَذَا يَا ٱبْنِي». فَقَالَ: «هُوَذَا ٱلنَّارُ وَٱلْحَطَبُ، وَلَكِنْ أَيْنَ ٱلْخَرُوفُ لِلْمُحْرَقَةِ؟». | ٧ 7 |
Isaac [Laughter] spoke to Abraham [Father of a multitude] his father, and said, “My father?” He said, “Here I am, my son.” He said, “Here is the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?”
| فَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ: «ٱللهُ يَرَى لَهُ ٱلْخَرُوفَ لِلْمُحْرَقَةِ يَا ٱبْنِي». فَذَهَبَا كِلَاهُمَا مَعًا. | ٨ 8 |
Abraham [Father of a multitude] said, “God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son.” So they both went 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 |
They came to the place which God had told him of. Abraham [Father of a multitude] built the altar there, and laid the wood in order, bound Isaac [Laughter] his son, and laid him on the altar, on the wood.
| ثُمَّ مَدَّ إِبْرَاهِيمُ يَدَهُ وَأَخَذَ ٱلسِّكِّينَ لِيَذْبَحَ ٱبْنَهُ. | ١٠ 10 |
Abraham [Father of a multitude] stretched out his hand, and took the knife to kill his son.
| فَنَادَاهُ مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَقَالَ: «إِبْرَاهِيمُ! إِبْرَاهِيمُ!». فَقَالَ: «هَأَنَذَا». | ١١ 11 |
Ha mal'ak Yahweh [The Angel of He sustains breathing] called to him out of the sky, and said, “Abraham, Abraham! [Father of a multitude, Father of a multitude]!” He said, “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 |
He said, “Don’t lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.”
| فَرَفَعَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَيْنَيْهِ وَنَظَرَ وَإِذَا كَبْشٌ وَرَاءَهُ مُمْسَكًا فِي ٱلْغَابَةِ بِقَرْنَيْهِ، فَذَهَبَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَأَخَذَ ٱلْكَبْشَ وَأَصْعَدَهُ مُحْرَقَةً عِوَضًا عَنِ ٱبْنِهِ. | ١٣ 13 |
Abraham [Father of a multitude] lifted up his eyes, and looked, and saw that behind him was a ram caught in the thicket by his horns. Abraham [Father of a multitude] went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering instead of his son.
| فَدَعَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ ٱسْمَ ذَلِكَ ٱلْمَوْضِعِ «يَهْوَهْ يِرْأَهْ». حَتَّى إِنَّهُ يُقَالُ ٱلْيَوْمَ: «فِي جَبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ يُرَى». | ١٤ 14 |
Abraham [Father of a multitude] called the name of that place Yahweh Yeer'eh [Yahweh will be seen / He sustains breathing will provide]. As it is said to this day, “On Adonai’s mountain, it will be provided.”
| وَنَادَى مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ثَانِيَةً مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ | ١٥ 15 |
Ha mal'ak Yahweh [The Angel of He sustains breathing] called to Abraham [Father of a multitude] a second time out of the sky,
| وَقَالَ: «بِذَاتِي أَقْسَمْتُ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، أَنِّي مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّكَ فَعَلْتَ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ، وَلَمْ تُمْسِكِ ٱبْنَكَ وَحِيدَكَ، | ١٦ 16 |
and said, “I have sworn by myself, says Adonai, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son,
| أُبَارِكُكَ مُبَارَكَةً، وَأُكَثِّرُ نَسْلَكَ تَكْثِيرًا كَنُجُومِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَكَالرَّمْلِ ٱلَّذِي عَلَى شَاطِئِ ٱلْبَحْرِ، وَيَرِثُ نَسْلُكَ بَابَ أَعْدَائِهِ، | ١٧ 17 |
I will bless you greatly, and I will multiply your offspring greatly like the stars of the heavens, and like the sand which is on the seashore. Your offspring will possess the gate of his enemies.
| وَيَتَبَارَكُ فِي نَسْلِكَ جَمِيعُ أُمَمِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّكَ سَمِعْتَ لِقَوْلِي». | ١٨ 18 |
By your offspring, all the nations of the earth will be blessed because you have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· my voice.”
| ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ إِلَى غُلَامَيْهِ، فَقَامُوا وَذَهَبُوا مَعًا إِلَى بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ. وَسَكَنَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ فِي بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ. | ١٩ 19 |
So Abraham [Father of a multitude] returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Be'er-Sheva [Well of Seven, Well of an Oath]. Abraham [Father of a multitude] lived at Be'er-Sheva [Well of Seven, Well of an Oath].
| وَحَدَثَ بَعْدَ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ أَنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أُخْبِرَ وَقِيلَ لَهُ: «هُوَذَا مِلْكَةُ قَدْ وَلَدَتْ هِيَ أَيْضًا بَنِينَ لِنَاحُورَ أَخِيكَ: | ٢٠ 20 |
After these things, Abraham [Father of a multitude] was told, “Behold, Milcah, she also has borne children to your brother Nahor:
| عُوصًا بِكْرَهُ، وَبُوزًا أَخَاهُ، وَقَمُوئِيلَ أَبَا أَرَامَ، | ٢١ 21 |
Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram [Elevated],
| وَكَاسَدَ وَحَزْوًا وَفِلْدَاشَ وَيِدْلَافَ وَبَتُوئِيلَ». | ٢٢ 22 |
Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.”
| وَوَلَدَ بَتُوئِيلُ رِفْقَةَ. هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلثَّمَانِيَةُ وَلَدَتْهُمْ مِلْكَةُ لِنَاحُورَ أَخِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ. | ٢٣ 23 |
Bethuel became the father of Rebekah [Securely bound]. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham [Father of a multitude]’s brother.
| وَأَمَّا سُرِّيَّتُهُ، وَٱسْمُهَا رَؤُومَةُ، فَوَلَدَتْ هِيَ أَيْضًا: طَابَحَ وَجَاحَمَ وَتَاحَشَ وَمَعْكَةَ. | ٢٤ 24 |
His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
