تكوين 12
| وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لأَبْرَامَ: «اتْرُكْ أَرْضَكَ وَعَشِيرَتَكَ وَبَيْتَ أَبِيكَ وَاذْهَبْ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أُرِيكَ، | ١ 1 |
Then the LORD said to Abram, “Leave your country, your kindred, and your father’s household, and go to the land I will show you.
| فَأَجْعَلَ مِنْكَ أُمَّةً كَبِيرَةً وَأُبَارِكَكَ وَأُعَظِّمَ اسْمَكَ، وَتَكُونَ بَرَكَةً (لِكَثِيرِينَ). | ٢ 2 |
I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, so that you will be a blessing.
| وَأُبَارِكُ مُبَارِكِيكَ وَأَلْعَنُ لاعِنِيكَ، وَتَتَبَارَكُ فِيكَ جَمِيعُ أُمَمِ الأَرْضِ». | ٣ 3 |
I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you; and all the families of the earth will be blessed through you.”
| فَارْتَحَلَ أَبْرَامُ كَمَا أَمَرَهُ الرَّبُّ، وَرَافَقَهُ لُوطٌ. وَكَانَ أَبْرَامُ فِي الْخَامِسَةِ وَالسَّبْعِينَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ عِنْدَمَا غَادَرَ حَارَانَ. | ٤ 4 |
So Abram departed, as the LORD had directed him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he left Haran.
| وَأَخَذَ أَبْرَامُ سَارَايَ زَوْجَتَهُ وَلُوطاً ابْنَ أَخِيهِ وَكُلَّ مَا جَمَعَاهُ مِنْ مُقْتَنَيَاتٍ وَكُلَّ مَا امْتَلَكَاهُ مِنْ نُفُوسٍ فِي حَارَانَ، وَانْطَلَقُوا جَمِيعاً إِلَى أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ إِلَى أَنْ وَصَلُوهَا. | ٥ 5 |
And Abram took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, and all the possessions and people they had acquired in Haran, and set out for the land of Canaan. When they came to the land of Canaan,
| فَشَرَعَ أَبْرَامُ يَتَنَقَّلُ فِي الأَرْضِ إِلَى أَنْ بَلَغَ مَوْضِعَ شَكِيمَ إِلَى سَهْلِ مُورَةَ. وَكَانَ الْكَنْعَانِيُّونَ آنَئِذٍ يَقْطُنُونَ تِلْكَ الأَرْضَ. | ٦ 6 |
Abram traveled through the land as far as the site of the Oak of Moreh at Shechem. And at that time the Canaanites were in the land.
| وَظَهَرَ الرَّبُّ لأَبْرَامَ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «سَأُعْطِي هَذِهِ الأَرْضَ لِذُرِّيَّتِكَ». فَبَنَى أَبْرَامُ هُنَاكَ مَذْبَحاً لِلرَّبِّ الَّذِي ظَهَرَ لَهُ. | ٧ 7 |
Then the LORD appeared to Abram and said, “I will give this land to your offspring.” So Abram built an altar there to the LORD, who had appeared to him.
| وَانْتَقَلَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ إِلَى الْجَبَلِ شَرْقِيَّ بَيْتِ إِيلٍ حَيْثُ نَصَبَ خِيَامَهُ مَا بَيْنَ بَيْتِ إِيلٍ غَرْباً وَعَايَ شَرْقاً وَشَيَّدَ هُنَاكَ مَذْبَحاً لِلرَّبِّ وَدَعَا بِاسْمِهِ. | ٨ 8 |
From there Abram moved on to the hill country east of Bethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel to the west and Ai to the east. There he built an altar to the LORD, and he called on the name of the LORD.
| ثُمَّ تَابَعَ أَبْرَامُ ارْتِحَالَهُ نَحْوَ الْجَنُوبِ. | ٩ 9 |
And Abram journeyed on toward the Negev.
| وَعَمَّتْ تِلْكَ الْبِلادَ مَجَاعَةٌ، فَانْحَدَرَ أَبْرَامُ إِلَى مِصْرَ لِيَتَغَرَّبَ فِيهَا لأَنَّ الْمَجَاعَةَ كَانَتْ شَدِيدَةً فِي الأَرْضِ. | ١٠ 10 |
Now there was a famine in the land. So Abram went down to Egypt to live there for a while because the famine was severe.
| وَمَا إِنِ اقْتَرَبَ مِنْ تُخُومِ مِصْرَ حَتَّى قَالَ لِزَوْجَتِهِ سَارَايَ: «أَنَا أَعْرِفُ أَنَّكِ امْرَأَةٌ جَمِيلَةٌ، | ١١ 11 |
As he was about to enter Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai, “Look, I know that you are a beautiful woman,
| فَمَا إِنْ يَرَاكِ الْمِصْرِيُّونَ حَتَّى يَقُولُوا: هَذِهِ هِيَ زَوْجَتُهُ فَيَقْتُلُونَنِي وَيَسْتَحْيُونَكِ. | ١٢ 12 |
and when the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife.’ Then they will kill me but will let you live.
| لِذَلِكَ قُولِي إِنَّكِ أُخْتِي، فَيُحْسِنُوا مُعَامَلَتِي مِنْ أَجْلِكِ وَتَنْجُوَ حَيَاتِي بِفَضْلِكِ». | ١٣ 13 |
Please say you are my sister, so that I will be treated well for your sake, and on account of you my life will be spared.”
| وَلَمَّا اقْتَرَبَ أَبْرَامُ مِنْ مِصْرَ اسْتَرْعَى جَمَالُ سَارَايَ أَنْظَارَ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ، | ١٤ 14 |
So when Abram entered Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.
| وَشَاهَدَهَا أَيْضاً رُؤَسَاءُ فِرْعَوْنَ فَأَشَادُوا بِها أَمَامَهُ. فَأُخِذَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ إِلَى بَيْتِ فِرْعَوْنَ. | ١٥ 15 |
When Pharaoh’s officials saw Sarai, they commended her to him, and she was taken into the palace of Pharaoh.
| فَأَحْسَنَ إِلَى أَبْرَامَ بِسَبَبِهَا وَأَجْزَلَ لَهُ الْعَطَاءَ مِنَ الْغَنَمِ وَالْبَقَرِ وَالْحَمِيرِ وَالْعَبِيدِ وَالإِمَاءِ وَالأُتُنِ وَالْجِمَالِ. | ١٦ 16 |
He treated Abram well on her account, and Abram acquired sheep and cattle, male and female donkeys, menservants and maidservants, and camels.
| وَلَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ ابْتَلَى فِرْعَوْنَ وَأَهْلَهُ بِبَلايَا عَظِيمَةٍ بِسَبَبِ سَارَايَ زَوْجَةِ أَبْرَامَ. | ١٧ 17 |
The LORD, however, afflicted Pharaoh and his household with severe plagues because of Abram’s wife Sarai.
| فَاسْتَدْعَى فِرْعَوْنُ أَبْرَامَ وَسَأَلَهُ: «مَاذَا فَعَلْتَ بِي؟ لِمَاذَا لَمْ تُخْبِرْنِي أَنَّهَا زَوْجَتُكَ؟ | ١٨ 18 |
So Pharaoh summoned Abram and asked, “What have you done to me? Why didn’t you tell me she was your wife?
| وَلِمَاذَا ادَّعَيْتَ أَنَّهَا أُخْتُكَ حَتَّى أَخَذْتُهَا لِتَكُونَ زَوْجَةً لِي؟ وَالآنَ هَا هِيَ زَوْجَتُكَ، خُذْهَا وَامْضِ فِي طَرِيقِكَ». | ١٩ 19 |
Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her as my wife? Now then, here is your wife. Take her and go!”
| وَأَوْصَى فِرْعَوْنُ رِجَالَهُ بِأَبْرَامَ، فَشَيَّعُوهُ وَامْرَأَتَهُ وَكُلَّ مَا كَانَ يَمْلِكُ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Then Pharaoh gave his men orders concerning Abram, and they sent him away with his wife and all his possessions.
