اَلتَّكْوِينُ 21
| وَٱفْتَقَدَ ٱلرَّبُّ سَارَةَ كَمَا قَالَ، وَفَعَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِسَارَةَ كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ. | ١ 1 |
Adonai visited Sarah [Princess] as he had said, and Adonai did to Sarah [Princess] as he had spoken.
| فَحَبِلَتْ سَارَةُ وَوَلَدَتْ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ ٱبْنًا فِي شَيْخُوخَتِهِ، فِي ٱلْوَقْتِ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ ٱللهُ عَنْهُ. | ٢ 2 |
Sarah [Princess] conceived, and bore Abraham [Father of a multitude] a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
| وَدَعَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ ٱسْمَ ٱبْنِهِ ٱلْمَوْلُودِ لَهُ، ٱلَّذِي وَلَدَتْهُ لَهُ سَارَةُ «إِسْحَاقَ». | ٣ 3 |
Abraham [Father of a multitude] called his son who was born to him, whom Sarah [Princess] bore to him, Isaac [Laughter].
| وَخَتَنَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ إِسْحَاقَ ٱبْنَهُ وَهُوَ ٱبْنُ ثَمَانِيَةِ أَيَّامٍ كَمَا أَمَرَهُ ٱللهُ. | ٤ 4 |
Abraham [Father of a multitude] circumcised his son, Isaac [Laughter], when he was eight days old, as God had enjoined him.
| وَكَانَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ ٱبْنَ مِئَةِ سَنَةٍ حِينَ وُلِدَ لَهُ إِسْحَاقُ ٱبْنُهُ. | ٥ 5 |
Abraham [Father of a multitude] was one hundred years old when his son, Isaac [Laughter], was born to him.
| وَقَالَتْ سَارَةُ: «قَدْ صَنَعَ إِلَيَّ ٱللهُ ضِحْكًا. كُلُّ مَنْ يَسْمَعُ يَضْحَكُ لِي». | ٦ 6 |
Sarah [Princess] said, “God has made me laugh. Everyone who sh'ma ·hears obeys· will laugh with me.”
| وَقَالَتْ: «مَنْ قَالَ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ: سَارَةُ تُرْضِعُ بَنِينَ؟ حَتَّى وَلَدْتُ ٱبْنًا فِي شَيْخُوخَتِهِ!». | ٧ 7 |
She said, “Who would have said to Abraham [Father of a multitude], that Sarah [Princess] would nurse children? For I have borne him a son in his old age.”
| فَكَبِرَ ٱلْوَلَدُ وَفُطِمَ. وَصَنَعَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَلِيمَةً عَظِيمَةً يَوْمَ فِطَامِ إِسْحَاقَ. | ٨ 8 |
The child grew, and was cameled. Abraham [Father of a multitude] made a great feast on the day that Isaac [Laughter] was cameled.
| وَرَأَتْ سَارَةُ ٱبْنَ هَاجَرَ ٱلْمِصْرِيَّةِ ٱلَّذِي وَلَدَتْهُ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ يَمْزَحُ، | ٩ 9 |
Sarah [Princess] saw the son of Hagar [Flight] the Egyptian [person from Abode of slavery], whom she had borne to Abraham [Father of a multitude], metzahek ·lewd and irreverent jokes·.
| فَقَالَتْ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ: «ٱطْرُدْ هَذِهِ ٱلْجَارِيَةَ وَٱبْنَهَا، لِأَنَّ ٱبْنَ هَذِهِ ٱلْجَارِيَةِ لَا يَرِثُ مَعَ ٱبْنِي إِسْحَاقَ». | ١٠ 10 |
Therefore she said to Abraham [Father of a multitude], “Divorce and cast out this servant and her son! For the son of this servant will not be heir with my son, Isaac [Laughter].”
| فَقَبُحَ ٱلْكَلَامُ جِدًّا فِي عَيْنَيْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لِسَبَبِ ٱبْنِهِ. | ١١ 11 |
The thing was very grievous in Abraham [Father of a multitude]’s sight on account of his son.
| 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 |
God said to Abraham [Father of a multitude], “Don’t let it be grievous in your sight because of the boy, and because of your servant. In all that Sarah [Princess] says to you, sh'ma ·hear obey· her voice. For your offspring will be accounted as from Isaac [Laughter].
| وَٱبْنُ ٱلْجَارِيَةِ أَيْضًا سَأَجْعَلُهُ أُمَّةً لِأَنَّهُ نَسْلُكَ». | ١٣ 13 |
I will also make a nation of the son of the servant, because he is your child.”
| فَبَكَّرَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ صَبَاحًا وَأَخَذَ خُبْزًا وَقِرْبَةَ مَاءٍ وَأَعْطَاهُمَا لِهَاجَرَ، وَاضِعًا إِيَّاهُمَا عَلَى كَتِفِهَا، وَٱلْوَلَدَ، وَصَرَفَهَا. فَمَضَتْ وَتَاهَتْ فِي بَرِّيَّةِ بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ. | ١٤ 14 |
Abraham [Father of a multitude] rose up early in the morning, and took bread and a bottle of water, and gave it to Hagar [Flight], putting it on her shoulder; and gave her the child, and sent her away. She departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Be'er-Sheva [Well of Seven, Well of an Oath].
| وَلَمَّا فَرَغَ ٱلْمَاءُ مِنَ ٱلْقِرْبَةِ طَرَحَتِ ٱلْوَلَدَ تَحْتَ إِحْدَى ٱلْأَشْجَارِ، | ١٥ 15 |
The water in the bottle was spent, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.
| وَمَضَتْ وَجَلَسَتْ مُقَابِلَهُ بَعِيدًا نَحْوَ رَمْيَةِ قَوْسٍ، لِأَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: «لَا أَنْظُرُ مَوْتَ ٱلْوَلَدِ». فَجَلَسَتْ مُقَابِلَهُ وَرَفَعَتْ صَوْتَهَا وَبَكَتْ. | ١٦ 16 |
She went and sat down opposite him, a good way off, about a bow shot away. For she said, “Don’t let me see the death of the child.” She sat over against him, and 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 |
God sh'ma ·heard obeyed· the voice of the boy. Ha mal'ak Elohim [The Angel of God] called to Hagar [Flight] out of the sky, and said to her, “What ails you, Hagar [Flight]? Don’t be afraid. For God has sh'ma ·hear obey· the voice of the boy where he is.
| قُومِي ٱحْمِلِي ٱلْغُلَامَ وَشُدِّي يَدَكِ بِهِ، لِأَنِّي سَأَجْعَلُهُ أُمَّةً عَظِيمَةً». | ١٨ 18 |
Get up, lift up the boy, and hold him in your hand. For I will make him a great nation.”
| وَفَتَحَ ٱللهُ عَيْنَيْهَا فَأَبْصَرَتْ بِئْرَ مَاءٍ، فَذَهَبَتْ وَمَلَأَتِ ٱلْقِرْبَةَ مَاءً وَسَقَتِ ٱلْغُلَامَ. | ١٩ 19 |
God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. She went, filled the bottle with water, and gave the boy drink.
| وَكَانَ ٱللهُ مَعَ ٱلْغُلَامِ فَكَبِرَ، وَسَكَنَ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، وَكَانَ يَنْمُو رَامِيَ قَوْسٍ. | ٢٠ 20 |
God was with the boy, and he grew. He lived in the wilderness, and became, as he grew up, an archer.
| وَسَكَنَ فِي بَرِّيَّةِ فَارَانَ، وَأَخَذَتْ لَهُ أُمُّهُ زَوْجَةً مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. | ٢١ 21 |
He lived in the wilderness of Paran. His mother took a wife for him out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery].
| 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 [My father king] and Phicol the captain of his army spoke to Abraham [Father of a multitude], saying, “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 by God that you will not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son’s son. But according to the chesed ·loving-kindness· that I have done to you, you shall do to me, and to the land in which you have lived as a foreigner.”
| فَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ: «أَنَا أَحْلِفُ». | ٢٤ 24 |
Abraham [Father of a multitude] said, “I will swear.”
| وَعَاتَبَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ أَبِيمَالِكَ لِسَبَبِ بِئْرِ ٱلْمَاءِ ٱلَّتِي ٱغْتَصَبَهَا عَبِيدُ أَبِيمَالِكَ. | ٢٥ 25 |
Abraham [Father of a multitude] complained to Abimelech [My father king] because of a water well, which Abimelech [My father king]’s servants had violently taken away.
| فَقَالَ أَبِيمَالِكُ: «لَمْ أَعْلَمْ مَنْ فَعَلَ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ. أَنْتَ لَمْ تُخْبِرْنِي، وَلَا أَنَا سَمِعْتُ سِوَى ٱلْيَوْمِ». | ٢٦ 26 |
Abimelech [My father king] said, “I don’t know who has done this thing. You didn’t tell me, and I didn’t sh'ma ·heard obeyed· of it until today.”
| فَأَخَذَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ غَنَمًا وَبَقَرًا وَأَعْطَى أَبِيمَالِكَ، فَقَطَعَا كِلَاهُمَا مِيثَاقًا. | ٢٧ 27 |
Abraham [Father of a multitude] took sheep and cattle, and gave them to Abimelech [My father king]. Those two made a covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties·.
| وَأَقَامَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ سَبْعَ نِعَاجٍ مِنَ ٱلْغَنَمِ وَحْدَهَا. | ٢٨ 28 |
Abraham [Father of a multitude] set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
| فَقَالَ أَبِيمَالِكُ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ: «مَا هِيَ هَذِهِ ٱلسَّبْعُ ٱلنِّعَاجِ ٱلَّتِي أَقَمْتَهَا وَحْدَهَا؟» | ٢٩ 29 |
Abimelech [My father king] said to Abraham [Father of a multitude], “What do these seven ewe lambs which you have set by themselves mean?”
| فَقَالَ: «إِنَّكَ سَبْعَ نِعَاجٍ تَأْخُذُ مِنْ يَدِي، لِكَيْ تَكُونَ لِي شَهَادَةً بِأَنِّي حَفَرْتُ هَذِهِ ٱلْبِئْرَ». | ٣٠ 30 |
He said, “You shall take these seven ewe lambs from my hand, that it may be a witness to me, that I have dug this well.”
| لِذَلِكَ دَعَا ذَلِكَ ٱلْمَوْضِعَ «بِئْرَ سَبْعٍ»، لِأَنَّهُمَا هُنَاكَ حَلَفَا كِلَاهُمَا. | ٣١ 31 |
Therefore he called that place Be'er-Sheva [Well of Seven, Well of an Oath], because they both swore there.
| فَقَطَعَا مِيثَاقًا فِي بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ، ثُمَّ قَامَ أَبِيمَالِكُ وَفِيكُولُ رَئِيسُ جَيْشِهِ وَرَجَعَا إِلَى أَرْضِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. | ٣٢ 32 |
So they made a covenant at Be'er-Sheva [Well of Seven, Well of an Oath]. Abimelech [My father king] rose up with Phicol, the captain of his army, and they returned into the land of the Philistines [To roll in dust (As an insult)].
| وَغَرَسَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ أَثْلًا فِي بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ، وَدَعَا هُنَاكَ بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلْإِلَهِ ٱلسَّرْمَدِيِّ. | ٣٣ 33 |
Abraham [Father of a multitude] planted a tamarisk tree in Be'er-Sheva [Well of Seven, Well of an Oath], and called there on the name of Adonai, the El 'Olam [God Everlasting].
| وَتَغَرَّبَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ فِي أَرْضِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ أَيَّامًا كَثِيرَةً. | ٣٤ 34 |
Abraham [Father of a multitude] lived as a foreigner in the land of the Philistines [To roll in dust (As an insult)] many days.
