< Genesis 22 >

1 And it came to pass after these things that God tempted Abraam, and said to him, Abraam, Abraam; and he said, Lo! I [am here].
وَبَعْدَ هَذَا امْتَحَنَ اللهُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، فَنَادَاهُ: «يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ» فَأَجَابَهُ: «لَبَّيْكَ».١
2 And he said, Take thy son, the beloved one, whom thou hast loved—Isaac, and go into the high land, and offer him there for a whole-burnt-offering on one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
فَقَالَ لَهُ: «خُذِ ابْنَكَ وَحِيدَكَ، إِسْحاقَ الَّذِي تُحِبُّهُ، وَانْطَلِقْ إِلَى أَرْضِ الْمُرِيَّا وَقَدِّمْهُ مُحْرَقَةً عَلَى أَحَدِ الْجِبَالِ الَّذِي أَهْدِيكَ إِلَيْهِ».٢
3 And Abraam rose up in the morning and saddled his ass, and he took with him two servants, and Isaac his son, and having split wood for a whole-burnt-offering, he arose and departed, and came to the place of which God spoke to him,
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
4 on the third day; and Abraam having lifted up his eyes, saw the place afar off.
وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ تَطَلَّعَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ فَشَاهَدَ الْمَكَانَ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ،٤
5 And Abraam said to his servants, Sit ye here with the ass, and I and the lad will proceed thus far, and having worshipped we will return to you.
فَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ لِغُلامَيْهِ: «امْكُثَا هُنَا مَعَ الْحِمَارِ، رَيْثَمَا أَصْعَدُ أَنَا وَالصَّبِيُّ إِلَى هُنَاكَ لَنَتَعَبَّدَ لِلهِ ثُمَّ نَعُودَ إِلَيْكُمَا».٥
6 And Abraam took the wood of the whole-burnt-offering, and laid it on Isaac his son, and he took into his hands both the fire and the knife, and the two went together.
فَحَمَّلَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ إِسْحاقَ حَطَبَ الْمُحْرَقَةِ، وَأَخَذَ هُوَ بِيَدِهِ النَّارَ وَالسِّكِّينَ وَذَهَبَا كِلاهُمَا مَعاً.٦
7 And Isaac said to Abraam his father, Father. And he said, What is it, son? And he said, Behold the fire and the wood, where is the sheep for a whole-burnt-offering?
وَقَالَ إِسْحاقُ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ أَبِيهِ: «يَا أَبِي». فَأَجَابَهُ: «نَعَمْ يَا بُنَيَّ». فَسَأَلَهُ: «هَا هِيَ النَّارُ وَالْحَطَبُ، وَلَكِنْ أَيْنَ خَرُوفُ الْمُحْرَقَةِ؟».٧
8 And Abraam said, God will provide himself a sheep for a whole-burnt-offering, [my] son. And both having gone together,
فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ إِبْرَاهِيمُ: «إِنَّ اللهَ يُدَبِّرُ لِنَفْسِهِ الْخَرُوفَ لِلْمُحْرَقَةِ يَا ابْنِي». وَتَابَعَا مَسِيرَهُمَا مَعاً.٨
9 came to the place which God spoke of to him; and there Abraam built the altar, and laid the wood on it, and having bound the feet of Isaac his son together, he laid him on the altar upon the wood.
وَلَمَّا بَلَغَا الْمَوْضِعَ الَّذِي أَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ اللهُ شَيَّدَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ مَذْبَحاً هُنَاكَ، وَرَتَّبَ الْحَطَبَ، ثُمَّ أَوْثَقَ إِسْحاقَ ابْنَهُ وَوَضَعَهُ عَلَى الْمَذْبَحِ فَوْقَ الْحَطَبِ.٩
10 And Abraam stretched forth his hand to take the knife to slay his son.
وَمَدَّ إِبْرَاهِيمُ يَدَهُ وَتَنَاوَلَ السِّكِّينَ لِيَذْبَحَ ابْنَهُ.١٠
11 And an angel of the Lord called him out of heaven, and said, Abraam, Abraam. And he said, Behold, I [am here].
فَنَادَاهُ مَلاكُ الرَّبِّ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ قَائِلاً: «إِبْرَاهِيمُ، إِبْرَاهِيمُ» فَأَجَابَ: «نَعَمْ».١١
12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the child, neither do anything to him, for now I know that thou fearest God, and for my sake thou hast not spared thy beloved son.
فَقَالَ: «لا تَمُدَّ يَدَكَ إِلَى الصَّبِيِّ وَلا تُوْقِعْ بِهِ ضَرَراً لأَنِّي عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكَ تَخَافُ اللهَ وَلَمْ تَمْنَعِ ابْنَكَ وَحِيدَكَ عَنِّي».١٢
13 And Abraam lifted up his eyes and beheld, and lo! a ram caught by his horns in a plant of Sabec; and Abraam went and took the ram, and offered him up for a whole-burnt-offering in the place of Isaac his son.
وَإِذْ تَطَلَّعَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ حَوْلَهُ رَأَى خَلْفَهُ كَبْشاً قَدْ عَلِقَ بِفُرُوعِ أَشْجَارِ الْغَابَةِ، فَذَهَبَ وَأَحْضَرَهُ وَأَصْعَدَهُ مُحْرَقَةً عِوَضاً عَنِ ابْنِهِ.١٣
14 And Abraam called the name of that place, The Lord hath seen; that they might say to-day, In the mount the Lord was seen.
وَدَعَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ اسْمَ ذَلِكَ الْمَكَانِ «يَهْوَهْ يِرْأَه» (وَمَعْنَاهُ: الرَّبُّ يُدَبِّرُ). وَلِذَلِكَ يُقَالُ حَتَّى الْيَوْمِ «فِي جَبَلِ الرَّبِّ، الإِلَهِ يُرَى».١٤
15 And an angel of the Lord called Abraam the second time out of heaven, saying, I have sworn by myself, says the Lord, because thou hast done this thing, and on my account hast not spared thy beloved son,
وَنَادَى مَلاكُ الرَّبِّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَرَّةً ثَانِيَةً:١٥
16 surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand which is by the shore of the sea, and thy seed shall inherit the cities of their enemies.
وَقَالَ: «هَا أَنَا أُقْسِمُ بِذَاتِي يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: لأَنَّكَ صَنَعْتَ هَذَا الأَمْرَ، وَلَمْ تَمْنَعِ ابْنَكَ وَحِيدَكَ عَنِّي،١٦
17 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because thou hast hearkened to my voice.
لأُبَارِكَنَّكَ وَأُكَثِّرَنَّ ذُرِّيَّتَكَ فَتَكُونُ كَنُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ وَكَرَمْلِ شَاطِئِ الْبَحْرِ، وَتَرِثُ ذُرِّيَّتُكَ مُدُنَ أَعْدَائِهَا.١٧
18 And Abraam returned to his servants, and they arose and went together to the well of the oath; and Abraam dwelt at the well of the oath.
وَبِذُرِّيَّتِكَ تَتَبَارَكُ جَمِيعُ أُمَمِ الأَرْضِ، لأَنَّكَ أَطَعْتَنِي».١٨
19 And it came to pass after these things, that it was reported to Abraam, saying, Behold, Melcha herself too has born sons to Nachor thy brother,
ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ إِلَى غُلَامَيْهِ، وَعَادُوا جَمِيعاً إِلَى بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ حَيْثُ أَقَامَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ.١٩
20 Uz the first-born, and Baux his brother, and Camuel the father of the Syrians, and Chazad, and
وَقِيلَ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ بَعْدَ هَذِهِ الأُمُورِ: «هُوَذَا مِلْكَةُ أَيْضاً قَدْ وَلَدَتْ بَنِينَ لأَخِيكَ نَاحُورَ.٢٠
21 Azav and Phaldes, and Jeldaph, and Bathuel, and Bathuel begot Rebecca;
عُوصاً الْبِكْرَ، وَأَخَاهُ بُوزاً وَقُمُوئِيلَ أَبَا أَرَامَ،٢١
22 these are eight sons, which Melcha bore to Nachor the brother of Abraam.
وَكَاسَدَ وَحَزْواً وَفِلْدَاشَ وَيِدْلافَ وَبَتُوئِيلَ».٢٢
23 And his concubine whose name was Rheuma, she also bore Tabec, and Taam, and Tochos, and Mocha.
وَأَنْجَبَ بَتُوئِيلُ رِفْقَةَ. هَؤُلاءِ الثَّمَانِيَةُ أَنْجَبَتْهُمْ مِلْكَةُ لِنَاحُورَ أَخِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ.٢٣
كَذَلِكَ أَنْجَبَتْ لَهُ سُرِّيَّتُهُ الْمَدْعُوَّةُ رُؤُومَةَ طَابَحَ وَجَاحَمَ وَتَاحَشَ وَمَعْكَةَ.٢٤
