Genesis 15
1 After these things the word of Jehovah came to Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram. I am thy shield, thy exceedingly great reward.
| وَبَعْدَ هَذِهِ الأُمُورِ قَالَ الرَّبُّ لأَبْرَامَ فِي الرُّؤْيَا: «لا تَخَفْ يَا أَبْرَامُ. أَنَا تُرْسٌ لَكَ. وَأَجْرُكَ عَظِيمٌ جِدّاً». | ١ |
2 And Abram said, O lord Jehovah, what will thou give me, since I go childless. And he who shall be possessor of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?
| فَقَالَ أَبْرَامُ: «أَيُّهَا السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ أَيُّ خَيْرٍ فِي مَا تُعْطِينِي وَأَنَا مِنْ غَيْرِ عَقِبٍ وَوَارِثُ بَيْتِي هُوَ أَلِيعَازَرُ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ؟» | ٢ |
3 And Abram said, Behold, thou have given no seed to me. And, lo, a man born in my house is my heir.
| وَقَالَ أَبْرَامُ أَيْضاً: «إِنَّكَ لَمْ تُعْطِنِي نَسْلاً، وَهَا هُوَ عَبْدٌ مَوْلُودٌ فِي بَيْتِي يَكُونُ وَارِثِي» | ٣ |
4 And, behold, the word of Jehovah came to him, saying, This man shall not be thine heir, but he who shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.
| فَأَجَابَهُ الرَّبُّ: «لَنْ يَكُونَ هَذَا لَكَ وَرِيثاً، بَلِ الَّذِي يَخْرُجُ مِنْ صُلْبِكَ يَكُونُ وَرِيثَكَ». | ٤ |
5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and number the stars, if thou be able to number them. And he said to him, So shall thy seed be.
| وَأَخْرَجَهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَى الْخَارِجِ وَقَالَ: «انْظُرْ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَعُدَّ النُّجُومَ إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ ذَلِكَ». ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ: «هَكَذَا يَكُونُ نَسْلُكَ». | ٥ |
6 And he believed in Jehovah, and he reckoned it to him for righteousness.
| فَآمَنَ بِالرَّبِّ فَحَسَبَهُ لَهُ بِرّاً، | ٦ |
7 And he said to him, I am Jehovah who brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.
| وَقَالَ لَهُ: «أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ الَّذِي أَتَى بِكَ مِنْ أُورِ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ لأُعْطِيَكَ هَذِهِ الأَرْضَ مِيرَاثاً». | ٧ |
8 And he said, O lord Jehovah, how shall I know that I shall inherit it?
| فَسَأَلَ: «كَيْفَ أَعْلَمُ أَنِّي أَرِثُهَا؟» | ٨ |
9 And he said to him, Take a heifer three years old for me, and a she-goat three years old, and a ram three years old, and a turtle dove, and a young pigeon.
| فَأَجَابَهُ الرَّبُّ: «خُذْ لِي عِجْلَةً وَعَنْزَةً وَكَبْشاً، عُمْرُ كُلٍّ مِنْهَا ثَلاثُ سَنَوَاتٍ، وَيَمَامَةً وَحَمَامَةً». | ٩ |
10 And he took all these for him, and divided them in the midst, and laid each half opposite the other. But he did not divide the birds.
| فَأَخَذَ هَذِهِ كُلَّهَا وَشَقَّ الْبَهَائِمَ مِنَ الْوَسَطِ إِلَى شَطْرَيْنِ، وَجَعَلَ كُلَّ شَطْرٍ مِنْهَا مُقَابِلَ الشَّطْرِ الآخَرِ. أَمَّا الطَّيْرُ فَلَمْ يَشْطُرْهُ. | ١٠ |
11 And the birds of prey came down upon the carcasses, and Abram drove them away.
| وَعِنْدَمَا أَخَذَتِ الطُّيُورُ الْجَارِحَةُ تَنْقَضُّ عَلَى الْجُثَثِ زَجَرَهَا أَبْرَامُ. | ١١ |
12 And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram. And, lo, a horror of great darkness fell upon him.
| وَلَمَّا مَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ إِلَى الْمَغِيبِ غَرِقَ أَبْرَامُ فِي نَوْمٍ عَمِيقٍ، وَإذَا بِظُلْمَةٍ مُخِيفَةٍ وَمُتَكَاثِفَةٍ تَكْتَنِفُهُ. | ١٢ |
13 And he said to Abram, Know of a certainty that thy seed shall be sojourners in a land that is not theirs. And shall serve them, and they shall afflict them four hundred years.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّبُّ: «تَيَقَّنْ أَنَّ نَسْلَكَ سَيَتَغَرَّبُ فِي أَرْضٍ لَيْسَتْ لَهُمْ، فَيَسْتَعْبِدُهُمْ أَهْلُهَا وَيُذِلُّونَهُمْ أَرْبَعَ مِئَةِ سَنَةٍ. | ١٣ |
14 And also I will judge that nation, whom they shall serve, and afterward they shall come out with great substance.
| وَلَكِنَّنِي سَأَدِينُ تِلْكَ الأُمَّةَ الَّتِي اسْتَعْبَدَتْهُمْ، ثُمَّ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ يَخْرُجُونَ بِأَمْوَالٍ طَائِلَةٍ. | ١٤ |
15 But thou will go to thy fathers in peace; thou will be buried in a good old age.
| أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَسَتَمُوتُ بِسَلامٍ وَتُدْفَنُ بِشَيْبَةٍ صَالِحَةٍ. | ١٥ |
16 And in the fourth generation they shall come here again, for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet full.
| أَمَّا هُمْ فَسَيَرْجِعُونَ بَعْدَ أَرْبَعَةِ أَجْيَالٍ إِلَى هُنَا، لأَنَّ إِثْمَ الأَمُورِيِّينَ لَمْ يَكْتَمِلْ بَعْدُ». | ١٦ |
17 And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold, a smoking furnace, and a flaming torch that passed between these pieces.
| وَعِنْدَمَا غَرَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَخَيَّمَ الظَّلامُ (ظَهَرَ) تَنُّورُ دُخَانٍ وَمِشْعَلُ نَارٍ يَجْتَازُ بَيْنَ تِلْكَ الْقِطَعِ. | ١٧ |
18 In that day Jehovah made a covenant with Abram, saying, To thy seed I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates:
| فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ قَطَعَ اللهُ عَهْداً مَعْ أَبْرَامَ قَائِلاً: «سَأُعْطِي نَسْلَكَ هَذِهِ الأَرْضَ مِنْ وَادِي الْعَرِيشِ إِلَى النَّهْرِ الْكَبِيرِ، نَهْرِ الْفُرَاتِ. | ١٨ |
19 the Kenite, and the Kenizzite, and the Kadmonite,
| أَرْضَ الْقَيْنِيِّينَ وَالْقَنِزِّيِّينَ، وَالْقَدْمُونِيِّينَ | ١٩ |
20 and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Rephaim,
| وَالْحِثِّيِّينَ وَالْفَرِزِّيِّينَ وَالرَّفَائِيِّينَ | ٢٠ |
21 and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Girgashite, and the Jebusite.
| وَالأَمُورِيِّينَ وَالْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ وَالْجِرْجَاشِيِّينَ وَالْيَبُوسِيِّينَ». | ٢١ |
