Genesis 22
1 Sometime later God tested Abraham. He called out to him, “Abraham!” “I'm here,” Abraham replied.
| وَبَعْدَ هَذَا امْتَحَنَ اللهُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، فَنَادَاهُ: «يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ» فَأَجَابَهُ: «لَبَّيْكَ». | ١ |
2 God told him, “Go with your son, the one you love, your only son, to the land of Moriah and sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains that I'll show you.”
| فَقَالَ لَهُ: «خُذِ ابْنَكَ وَحِيدَكَ، إِسْحاقَ الَّذِي تُحِبُّهُ، وَانْطَلِقْ إِلَى أَرْضِ الْمُرِيَّا وَقَدِّمْهُ مُحْرَقَةً عَلَى أَحَدِ الْجِبَالِ الَّذِي أَهْدِيكَ إِلَيْهِ». | ٢ |
3 Abraham got up early in the morning and saddled up his donkey. He took two servants and Isaac with him and went to cut firewood for the burnt offering. Then he left with them to go to the place God had told him about.
| 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 After traveling for three days Abraham could see the place in the distance.
| وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ تَطَلَّعَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ فَشَاهَدَ الْمَكَانَ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، | ٤ |
5 He told his servants, “Wait here with the donkey while I go with the boy and worship God. Then we'll return.”
| فَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ لِغُلامَيْهِ: «امْكُثَا هُنَا مَعَ الْحِمَارِ، رَيْثَمَا أَصْعَدُ أَنَا وَالصَّبِيُّ إِلَى هُنَاكَ لَنَتَعَبَّدَ لِلهِ ثُمَّ نَعُودَ إِلَيْكُمَا». | ٥ |
6 Abraham had Isaac carry the wood for the burnt offering, while he carried the fire and the knife, and they walked up together.
| فَحَمَّلَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ إِسْحاقَ حَطَبَ الْمُحْرَقَةِ، وَأَخَذَ هُوَ بِيَدِهِ النَّارَ وَالسِّكِّينَ وَذَهَبَا كِلاهُمَا مَعاً. | ٦ |
7 Isaac said to Abraham, “Father?” “Yes, my son?” Abraham replied. “Well, we have the fire and the wood, but where's the lamb for the burnt offering?” Isaac asked.
| وَقَالَ إِسْحاقُ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ أَبِيهِ: «يَا أَبِي». فَأَجَابَهُ: «نَعَمْ يَا بُنَيَّ». فَسَأَلَهُ: «هَا هِيَ النَّارُ وَالْحَطَبُ، وَلَكِنْ أَيْنَ خَرُوفُ الْمُحْرَقَةِ؟». | ٧ |
8 “God will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son,” Abraham replied, and they went on walking up together.
| فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ إِبْرَاهِيمُ: «إِنَّ اللهَ يُدَبِّرُ لِنَفْسِهِ الْخَرُوفَ لِلْمُحْرَقَةِ يَا ابْنِي». وَتَابَعَا مَسِيرَهُمَا مَعاً. | ٨ |
9 When they arrived at the place where God had told him to go, Abraham built an altar and placed the wood on it. Then he bound his son Isaac and placed him on the altar on top of 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 Abraham picked up the knife, ready to slaughter his son.
| وَمَدَّ إِبْرَاهِيمُ يَدَهُ وَتَنَاوَلَ السِّكِّينَ لِيَذْبَحَ ابْنَهُ. | ١٠ |
11 But the angel of the Lord shouted to him from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!” “Yes, I'm here,” he replied.
| فَنَادَاهُ مَلاكُ الرَّبِّ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ قَائِلاً: «إِبْرَاهِيمُ، إِبْرَاهِيمُ» فَأَجَابَ: «نَعَمْ». | ١١ |
12 The angel said, “Don't touch the boy! Don't do anything to him, because now I know that you truly do what God tells you. You didn't refuse to give me your son, your only son.”
| فَقَالَ: «لا تَمُدَّ يَدَكَ إِلَى الصَّبِيِّ وَلا تُوْقِعْ بِهِ ضَرَراً لأَنِّي عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكَ تَخَافُ اللهَ وَلَمْ تَمْنَعِ ابْنَكَ وَحِيدَكَ عَنِّي». | ١٢ |
13 Abraham looked up and saw a ram caught by its horns in some bushes. He brought the ram over and sacrificed it as a burnt offering in place of his son.
| وَإِذْ تَطَلَّعَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ حَوْلَهُ رَأَى خَلْفَهُ كَبْشاً قَدْ عَلِقَ بِفُرُوعِ أَشْجَارِ الْغَابَةِ، فَذَهَبَ وَأَحْضَرَهُ وَأَصْعَدَهُ مُحْرَقَةً عِوَضاً عَنِ ابْنِهِ. | ١٣ |
14 Abraham called the place “The Lord will Provide.” That's still a saying people use today: “the Lord will provide on his mountain.”
| وَدَعَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ اسْمَ ذَلِكَ الْمَكَانِ «يَهْوَهْ يِرْأَه» (وَمَعْنَاهُ: الرَّبُّ يُدَبِّرُ). وَلِذَلِكَ يُقَالُ حَتَّى الْيَوْمِ «فِي جَبَلِ الرَّبِّ، الإِلَهِ يُرَى». | ١٤ |
15 The angel of the Lord shouted again to Abraham from heaven,
| وَنَادَى مَلاكُ الرَّبِّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَرَّةً ثَانِيَةً: | ١٥ |
16 “I swear by myself, says the Lord, that because you have done this and didn't refuse to give me your son, your only son,
| وَقَالَ: «هَا أَنَا أُقْسِمُ بِذَاتِي يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: لأَنَّكَ صَنَعْتَ هَذَا الأَمْرَ، وَلَمْ تَمْنَعِ ابْنَكَ وَحِيدَكَ عَنِّي، | ١٦ |
17 you can be sure that I will bless you and give you many descendants. They will be as numerous as the stars of heaven and the sand of the seashore, and they will conquer their enemies.
| لأُبَارِكَنَّكَ وَأُكَثِّرَنَّ ذُرِّيَّتَكَ فَتَكُونُ كَنُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ وَكَرَمْلِ شَاطِئِ الْبَحْرِ، وَتَرِثُ ذُرِّيَّتُكَ مُدُنَ أَعْدَائِهَا. | ١٧ |
18 All the nations of the earth will be blessed by your descendants because you did what I told you.”
| وَبِذُرِّيَّتِكَ تَتَبَارَكُ جَمِيعُ أُمَمِ الأَرْضِ، لأَنَّكَ أَطَعْتَنِي». | ١٨ |
19 Then Abraham returned to his servants, and they went back together to Beersheba where Abraham was living.
| ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ إِلَى غُلَامَيْهِ، وَعَادُوا جَمِيعاً إِلَى بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ حَيْثُ أَقَامَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ. | ١٩ |
20 Sometime later, Abraham was told, “Milcah has had sons for your brother Nahor.”
| وَقِيلَ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ بَعْدَ هَذِهِ الأُمُورِ: «هُوَذَا مِلْكَةُ أَيْضاً قَدْ وَلَدَتْ بَنِينَ لأَخِيكَ نَاحُورَ. | ٢٠ |
21 Uz was the firstborn, then his brother Buz, Kemuel (who became the ancestor of Arameans),
| عُوصاً الْبِكْرَ، وَأَخَاهُ بُوزاً وَقُمُوئِيلَ أَبَا أَرَامَ، | ٢١ |
22 Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
| وَكَاسَدَ وَحَزْواً وَفِلْدَاشَ وَيِدْلافَ وَبَتُوئِيلَ». | ٢٢ |
23 (Bethuel was Rebekah's father.) Milcah had these eight sons for Abraham's brother Nahor.
| وَأَنْجَبَ بَتُوئِيلُ رِفْقَةَ. هَؤُلاءِ الثَّمَانِيَةُ أَنْجَبَتْهُمْ مِلْكَةُ لِنَاحُورَ أَخِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ. | ٢٣ |
24 In addition, Reumah his concubine had Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
| كَذَلِكَ أَنْجَبَتْ لَهُ سُرِّيَّتُهُ الْمَدْعُوَّةُ رُؤُومَةَ طَابَحَ وَجَاحَمَ وَتَاحَشَ وَمَعْكَةَ. | ٢٤ |
