< تكوين 22 >

وَبَعْدَ هَذَا امْتَحَنَ اللهُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، فَنَادَاهُ: «يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ» فَأَجَابَهُ: «لَبَّيْكَ». ١ 1
After these things, God tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham!” He said, “Here I am.”
فَقَالَ لَهُ: «خُذِ ابْنَكَ وَحِيدَكَ، إِسْحاقَ الَّذِي تُحِبُّهُ، وَانْطَلِقْ إِلَى أَرْضِ الْمُرِيَّا وَقَدِّمْهُ مُحْرَقَةً عَلَى أَحَدِ الْجِبَالِ الَّذِي أَهْدِيكَ إِلَيْهِ». ٢ 2
He said, “Now take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, 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.”
فَاسْتَيْقَظَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ مُبَكِّراً فِي الصَّبَاحِ التَّالِي، وَأَسْرَجَ حِمَارَهُ، وَأَخَذَ اثْنَيْنِ مِنْ غِلْمَانِهِ، وَابْنَهُ إِسْحاقَ. وَجَهَّزَ حَطَباً لِمُحْرَقَةٍ، وَانْطَلَقَ مَاضِياً إِلَى الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي قَالَ لَهُ اللهُ عَنْهُ. ٣ 3
Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his donkey; and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac 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 الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ تَطَلَّعَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ فَشَاهَدَ الْمَكَانَ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، ٤ 4
On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place far off.
فَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ لِغُلامَيْهِ: «امْكُثَا هُنَا مَعَ الْحِمَارِ، رَيْثَمَا أَصْعَدُ أَنَا وَالصَّبِيُّ إِلَى هُنَاكَ لَنَتَعَبَّدَ لِلهِ ثُمَّ نَعُودَ إِلَيْكُمَا». ٥ 5
Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey. The boy and I will go over there. We will worship, and come back to you.”
فَحَمَّلَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ إِسْحاقَ حَطَبَ الْمُحْرَقَةِ، وَأَخَذَ هُوَ بِيَدِهِ النَّارَ وَالسِّكِّينَ وَذَهَبَا كِلاهُمَا مَعاً. ٦ 6
Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son. He took in his hand the fire and the knife. They both went together.
وَقَالَ إِسْحاقُ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ أَبِيهِ: «يَا أَبِي». فَأَجَابَهُ: «نَعَمْ يَا بُنَيَّ». فَسَأَلَهُ: «هَا هِيَ النَّارُ وَالْحَطَبُ، وَلَكِنْ أَيْنَ خَرُوفُ الْمُحْرَقَةِ؟». ٧ 7
Isaac spoke to Abraham 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?”
فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ إِبْرَاهِيمُ: «إِنَّ اللهَ يُدَبِّرُ لِنَفْسِهِ الْخَرُوفَ لِلْمُحْرَقَةِ يَا ابْنِي». وَتَابَعَا مَسِيرَهُمَا مَعاً. ٨ 8
Abraham said, “God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son.” So they both went together.
وَلَمَّا بَلَغَا الْمَوْضِعَ الَّذِي أَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ اللهُ شَيَّدَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ مَذْبَحاً هُنَاكَ، وَرَتَّبَ الْحَطَبَ، ثُمَّ أَوْثَقَ إِسْحاقَ ابْنَهُ وَوَضَعَهُ عَلَى الْمَذْبَحِ فَوْقَ الْحَطَبِ. ٩ 9
They came to the place which God had told him of. Abraham built the altar there, and laid the wood in order, bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, on the wood.
وَمَدَّ إِبْرَاهِيمُ يَدَهُ وَتَنَاوَلَ السِّكِّينَ لِيَذْبَحَ ابْنَهُ. ١٠ 10
Abraham stretched out his hand, and took the knife to kill his son.
فَنَادَاهُ مَلاكُ الرَّبِّ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ قَائِلاً: «إِبْرَاهِيمُ، إِبْرَاهِيمُ» فَأَجَابَ: «نَعَمْ». ١١ 11
The LORD’s angel called to him out of the sky, and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” He said, “Here I am.”
فَقَالَ: «لا تَمُدَّ يَدَكَ إِلَى الصَّبِيِّ وَلا تُوْقِعْ بِهِ ضَرَراً لأَنِّي عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكَ تَخَافُ اللهَ وَلَمْ تَمْنَعِ ابْنَكَ 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.”
وَإِذْ تَطَلَّعَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ حَوْلَهُ رَأَى خَلْفَهُ كَبْشاً قَدْ عَلِقَ بِفُرُوعِ أَشْجَارِ الْغَابَةِ، فَذَهَبَ وَأَحْضَرَهُ وَأَصْعَدَهُ مُحْرَقَةً عِوَضاً عَنِ ابْنِهِ. ١٣ 13
Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and saw that behind him was a ram caught in the thicket by his horns. Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering instead of his son.
وَدَعَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ اسْمَ ذَلِكَ الْمَكَانِ «يَهْوَهْ يِرْأَه» (وَمَعْنَاهُ: الرَّبُّ يُدَبِّرُ). وَلِذَلِكَ يُقَالُ حَتَّى الْيَوْمِ «فِي جَبَلِ الرَّبِّ، الإِلَهِ يُرَى». ١٤ 14
Abraham called the name of that place “The LORD Will Provide”. As it is said to this day, “On the LORD’s mountain, it will be provided.”
وَنَادَى مَلاكُ الرَّبِّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَرَّةً ثَانِيَةً: ١٥ 15
The LORD’s angel called to Abraham a second time out of the sky,
وَقَالَ: «هَا أَنَا أُقْسِمُ بِذَاتِي يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: لأَنَّكَ صَنَعْتَ هَذَا الأَمْرَ، وَلَمْ تَمْنَعِ ابْنَكَ وَحِيدَكَ عَنِّي، ١٦ 16
and said, “‘I have sworn by myself,’ says the LORD, ‘because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son,
لأُبَارِكَنَّكَ وَأُكَثِّرَنَّ ذُرِّيَّتَكَ فَتَكُونُ كَنُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ وَكَرَمْلِ شَاطِئِ الْبَحْرِ، وَتَرِثُ ذُرِّيَّتُكَ مُدُنَ أَعْدَائِهَا. ١٧ 17
that 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.
وَبِذُرِّيَّتِكَ تَتَبَارَكُ جَمِيعُ أُمَمِ الأَرْضِ، لأَنَّكَ أَطَعْتَنِي». ١٨ 18
All the nations of the earth will be blessed by your offspring, because you have obeyed my voice.’”
ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ إِلَى غُلَامَيْهِ، وَعَادُوا جَمِيعاً إِلَى بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ حَيْثُ أَقَامَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ. ١٩ 19
So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba. Abraham lived at Beersheba.
وَقِيلَ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ بَعْدَ هَذِهِ الأُمُورِ: «هُوَذَا مِلْكَةُ أَيْضاً قَدْ وَلَدَتْ بَنِينَ لأَخِيكَ نَاحُورَ. ٢٠ 20
After these things, Abraham was told, “Behold, Milcah, she also has borne children to your brother Nahor:
عُوصاً الْبِكْرَ، وَأَخَاهُ بُوزاً وَقُمُوئِيلَ أَبَا أَرَامَ، ٢١ 21
Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,
وَكَاسَدَ وَحَزْواً وَفِلْدَاشَ وَيِدْلافَ وَبَتُوئِيلَ». ٢٢ 22
Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.”
وَأَنْجَبَ بَتُوئِيلُ رِفْقَةَ. هَؤُلاءِ الثَّمَانِيَةُ أَنْجَبَتْهُمْ مِلْكَةُ لِنَاحُورَ أَخِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ. ٢٣ 23
Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham’s brother.
كَذَلِكَ أَنْجَبَتْ لَهُ سُرِّيَّتُهُ الْمَدْعُوَّةُ رُؤُومَةَ طَابَحَ وَجَاحَمَ وَتَاحَشَ وَمَعْكَةَ. ٢٤ 24
His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
