< اَلتَّكْوِينُ 21 >
وَٱفْتَقَدَ ٱلرَّبُّ سَارَةَ كَمَا قَالَ، وَفَعَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِسَارَةَ كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ. | ١ 1 |
Now the LORD attended to Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did for Sarah what He had promised.
فَحَبِلَتْ سَارَةُ وَوَلَدَتْ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ ٱبْنًا فِي شَيْخُوخَتِهِ، فِي ٱلْوَقْتِ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ ٱللهُ عَنْهُ. | ٢ 2 |
So Sarah conceived and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the very time God had promised.
وَدَعَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ ٱسْمَ ٱبْنِهِ ٱلْمَوْلُودِ لَهُ، ٱلَّذِي وَلَدَتْهُ لَهُ سَارَةُ «إِسْحَاقَ». | ٣ 3 |
And Abraham gave the name Isaac to the son Sarah bore to him.
وَخَتَنَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ إِسْحَاقَ ٱبْنَهُ وَهُوَ ٱبْنُ ثَمَانِيَةِ أَيَّامٍ كَمَا أَمَرَهُ ٱللهُ. | ٤ 4 |
When his son Isaac was eight days old, Abraham circumcised him, as God had commanded him.
وَكَانَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ ٱبْنَ مِئَةِ سَنَةٍ حِينَ وُلِدَ لَهُ إِسْحَاقُ ٱبْنُهُ. | ٥ 5 |
Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.
وَقَالَتْ سَارَةُ: «قَدْ صَنَعَ إِلَيَّ ٱللهُ ضِحْكًا. كُلُّ مَنْ يَسْمَعُ يَضْحَكُ لِي». | ٦ 6 |
Then Sarah said, “God has made me laugh, and everyone who hears of this will laugh with me.”
وَقَالَتْ: «مَنْ قَالَ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ: سَارَةُ تُرْضِعُ بَنِينَ؟ حَتَّى وَلَدْتُ ٱبْنًا فِي شَيْخُوخَتِهِ!». | ٧ 7 |
She added, “Who would have told Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age.”
فَكَبِرَ ٱلْوَلَدُ وَفُطِمَ. وَصَنَعَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَلِيمَةً عَظِيمَةً يَوْمَ فِطَامِ إِسْحَاقَ. | ٨ 8 |
So the child grew and was weaned, and Abraham held a great feast on the day Isaac was weaned.
وَرَأَتْ سَارَةُ ٱبْنَ هَاجَرَ ٱلْمِصْرِيَّةِ ٱلَّذِي وَلَدَتْهُ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ يَمْزَحُ، | ٩ 9 |
But Sarah saw that the son whom Hagar the Egyptian had borne to Abraham was mocking her son,
فَقَالَتْ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ: «ٱطْرُدْ هَذِهِ ٱلْجَارِيَةَ وَٱبْنَهَا، لِأَنَّ ٱبْنَ هَذِهِ ٱلْجَارِيَةِ لَا يَرِثُ مَعَ ٱبْنِي إِسْحَاقَ». | ١٠ 10 |
and she said to Abraham, “Expel the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with my son Isaac!”
فَقَبُحَ ٱلْكَلَامُ جِدًّا فِي عَيْنَيْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لِسَبَبِ ٱبْنِهِ. | ١١ 11 |
Now this matter distressed Abraham greatly because it concerned his son Ishmael.
فَقَالَ ٱللهُ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ: «لَا يَقْبُحُ فِي عَيْنَيْكَ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْغُلَامِ وَمِنْ أَجْلِ جَارِيَتِكَ. فِي كُلِّ مَا تَقُولُ لَكَ سَارَةُ ٱسْمَعْ لِقَوْلِهَا، لِأَنَّهُ بِإِسْحَاقَ يُدْعَى لَكَ نَسْلٌ. | ١٢ 12 |
But God said to Abraham, “Do not be distressed about the boy and your maidservant. Listen to everything that Sarah tells you, for through Isaac your offspring will be reckoned.
وَٱبْنُ ٱلْجَارِيَةِ أَيْضًا سَأَجْعَلُهُ أُمَّةً لِأَنَّهُ نَسْلُكَ». | ١٣ 13 |
But I will also make a nation of the slave woman’s son, because he is your offspring.”
فَبَكَّرَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ صَبَاحًا وَأَخَذَ خُبْزًا وَقِرْبَةَ مَاءٍ وَأَعْطَاهُمَا لِهَاجَرَ، وَاضِعًا إِيَّاهُمَا عَلَى كَتِفِهَا، وَٱلْوَلَدَ، وَصَرَفَهَا. فَمَضَتْ وَتَاهَتْ فِي بَرِّيَّةِ بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ. | ١٤ 14 |
Early in the morning, Abraham got up, took bread and a skin of water, put them on Hagar’s shoulders, and sent her away with the boy. She left and wandered in the Wilderness of Beersheba.
وَلَمَّا فَرَغَ ٱلْمَاءُ مِنَ ٱلْقِرْبَةِ طَرَحَتِ ٱلْوَلَدَ تَحْتَ إِحْدَى ٱلْأَشْجَارِ، | ١٥ 15 |
When the water in the skin was gone, she left the boy under one of the bushes.
وَمَضَتْ وَجَلَسَتْ مُقَابِلَهُ بَعِيدًا نَحْوَ رَمْيَةِ قَوْسٍ، لِأَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: «لَا أَنْظُرُ مَوْتَ ٱلْوَلَدِ». فَجَلَسَتْ مُقَابِلَهُ وَرَفَعَتْ صَوْتَهَا وَبَكَتْ. | ١٦ 16 |
Then she went off and sat down nearby, about a bowshot away, for she said, “I cannot bear to watch the boy die!” And as she sat nearby, she lifted up her voice and wept.
فَسَمِعَ ٱللهُ صَوْتَ ٱلْغُلَامِ، وَنَادَى مَلَاكُ ٱللهِ هَاجَرَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَقَالَ لَهَا: «مَا لَكِ يَا هَاجَرُ؟ لَا تَخَافِي، لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ قَدْ سَمِعَ لِصَوْتِ ٱلْغُلَامِ حَيْثُ هُوَ. | ١٧ 17 |
Then God heard the voice of the boy, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven, “What is wrong, Hagar? Do not be afraid, for God has heard the voice of the boy where he lies.
قُومِي ٱحْمِلِي ٱلْغُلَامَ وَشُدِّي يَدَكِ بِهِ، لِأَنِّي سَأَجْعَلُهُ أُمَّةً عَظِيمَةً». | ١٨ 18 |
Get up, lift up the boy, and take him by the hand, for I will make him into a great nation.”
وَفَتَحَ ٱللهُ عَيْنَيْهَا فَأَبْصَرَتْ بِئْرَ مَاءٍ، فَذَهَبَتْ وَمَلَأَتِ ٱلْقِرْبَةَ مَاءً وَسَقَتِ ٱلْغُلَامَ. | ١٩ 19 |
Then God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. So she went and filled the skin with water and gave the boy a drink.
وَكَانَ ٱللهُ مَعَ ٱلْغُلَامِ فَكَبِرَ، وَسَكَنَ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، وَكَانَ يَنْمُو رَامِيَ قَوْسٍ. | ٢٠ 20 |
And God was with the boy, and he grew up and settled in the wilderness and became a great archer.
وَسَكَنَ فِي بَرِّيَّةِ فَارَانَ، وَأَخَذَتْ لَهُ أُمُّهُ زَوْجَةً مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. | ٢١ 21 |
And while he was dwelling in the Wilderness of Paran, his mother got a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
وَحَدَثَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلزَّمَانِ أَنَّ أَبِيمَالِكَ وَفِيكُولَ رَئِيسَ جَيْشِهِ كَلَّمَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَائِلَيْنِ: «ٱللهُ مَعَكَ فِي كُلِّ مَا أَنْتَ صَانِعٌ. | ٢٢ 22 |
At that time Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army said to Abraham, “God is with you in all that you do.
فَٱلْآنَ ٱحْلِفْ لِي بِٱللهِ هَهُنَا أَنَّكَ لَا تَغْدُرُ بِي وَلَا بِنَسْلِي وَذُرِّيَّتِي، كَٱلْمَعْرُوفِ ٱلَّذِي صَنَعْتُ إِلَيْكَ تَصْنَعُ إِلَيَّ وَإِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي تَغَرَّبْتَ فِيهَا». | ٢٣ 23 |
Now, therefore, swear to me here before God that you will not deal falsely with me or my children or descendants. Show to me and to the country in which you reside the same kindness that I have shown to you.”
فَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ: «أَنَا أَحْلِفُ». | ٢٤ 24 |
And Abraham replied, “I swear it.”
وَعَاتَبَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ أَبِيمَالِكَ لِسَبَبِ بِئْرِ ٱلْمَاءِ ٱلَّتِي ٱغْتَصَبَهَا عَبِيدُ أَبِيمَالِكَ. | ٢٥ 25 |
But when Abraham complained to Abimelech about a well that Abimelech’s servants had seized,
فَقَالَ أَبِيمَالِكُ: «لَمْ أَعْلَمْ مَنْ فَعَلَ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ. أَنْتَ لَمْ تُخْبِرْنِي، وَلَا أَنَا سَمِعْتُ سِوَى ٱلْيَوْمِ». | ٢٦ 26 |
Abimelech replied, “I do not know who has done this. You did not tell me, so I have not heard about it until today.”
فَأَخَذَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ غَنَمًا وَبَقَرًا وَأَعْطَى أَبِيمَالِكَ، فَقَطَعَا كِلَاهُمَا مِيثَاقًا. | ٢٧ 27 |
So Abraham brought sheep and cattle and gave them to Abimelech, and the two men made a covenant.
وَأَقَامَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ سَبْعَ نِعَاجٍ مِنَ ٱلْغَنَمِ وَحْدَهَا. | ٢٨ 28 |
Abraham separated seven ewe lambs from the flock,
فَقَالَ أَبِيمَالِكُ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ: «مَا هِيَ هَذِهِ ٱلسَّبْعُ ٱلنِّعَاجِ ٱلَّتِي أَقَمْتَهَا وَحْدَهَا؟» | ٢٩ 29 |
and Abimelech asked him, “Why have you set apart these seven ewe lambs?”
فَقَالَ: «إِنَّكَ سَبْعَ نِعَاجٍ تَأْخُذُ مِنْ يَدِي، لِكَيْ تَكُونَ لِي شَهَادَةً بِأَنِّي حَفَرْتُ هَذِهِ ٱلْبِئْرَ». | ٣٠ 30 |
He replied, “You are to accept the seven ewe lambs from my hand as my witness that I dug this well.”
لِذَلِكَ دَعَا ذَلِكَ ٱلْمَوْضِعَ «بِئْرَ سَبْعٍ»، لِأَنَّهُمَا هُنَاكَ حَلَفَا كِلَاهُمَا. | ٣١ 31 |
So that place was called Beersheba, because it was there that the two of them swore an oath.
فَقَطَعَا مِيثَاقًا فِي بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ، ثُمَّ قَامَ أَبِيمَالِكُ وَفِيكُولُ رَئِيسُ جَيْشِهِ وَرَجَعَا إِلَى أَرْضِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. | ٣٢ 32 |
After they had made the covenant at Beersheba, Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army got up and returned to the land of the Philistines.
وَغَرَسَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ أَثْلًا فِي بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ، وَدَعَا هُنَاكَ بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلْإِلَهِ ٱلسَّرْمَدِيِّ. | ٣٣ 33 |
And Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there he called upon the name of the LORD, the Eternal God.
وَتَغَرَّبَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ فِي أَرْضِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ أَيَّامًا كَثِيرَةً. | ٣٤ 34 |
And Abraham resided in the land of the Philistines for a long time.
