Genesis 15
1 After these things, the worde of the Lord came vnto Abram in a vision, saying, Feare not, Abram, I am thy buckler, and thine exceeding 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 God, what wilt thou giue me, seeing I goe childlesse, and the steward of mine house is this Eliezer of Damascus?
| فَقَالَ أَبْرَامُ: «أَيُّهَا السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ أَيُّ خَيْرٍ فِي مَا تُعْطِينِي وَأَنَا مِنْ غَيْرِ عَقِبٍ وَوَارِثُ بَيْتِي هُوَ أَلِيعَازَرُ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ؟» | ٢ |
3 Againe Abram saide, Beholde, to me thou hast giuen no seede: wherefore loe, a seruant of mine house shalbe mine heire.
| وَقَالَ أَبْرَامُ أَيْضاً: «إِنَّكَ لَمْ تُعْطِنِي نَسْلاً، وَهَا هُوَ عَبْدٌ مَوْلُودٌ فِي بَيْتِي يَكُونُ وَارِثِي» | ٣ |
4 Then beholde, the worde of the Lord came vnto him, saying, This man shall not be thine heire, but one that shall come out of thine owne bowels, he shalbe thine heire.
| فَأَجَابَهُ الرَّبُّ: «لَنْ يَكُونَ هَذَا لَكَ وَرِيثاً، بَلِ الَّذِي يَخْرُجُ مِنْ صُلْبِكَ يَكُونُ وَرِيثَكَ». | ٤ |
5 Moreouer he brought him forth and said, Looke vp nowe vnto heauen, and tell ye starres, if thou be able to number them: and he said vnto him, So shall thy seede be.
| وَأَخْرَجَهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَى الْخَارِجِ وَقَالَ: «انْظُرْ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَعُدَّ النُّجُومَ إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ ذَلِكَ». ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ: «هَكَذَا يَكُونُ نَسْلُكَ». | ٥ |
6 And Abram beleeued the Lord, and he counted that to him for righteousnesse.
| فَآمَنَ بِالرَّبِّ فَحَسَبَهُ لَهُ بِرّاً، | ٦ |
7 Againe he saide vnto him, I am the Lord, that brought thee out of Vr of the Caldees, to giue thee this land to inherite it.
| وَقَالَ لَهُ: «أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ الَّذِي أَتَى بِكَ مِنْ أُورِ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ لأُعْطِيَكَ هَذِهِ الأَرْضَ مِيرَاثاً». | ٧ |
8 And he said, O Lord God, whereby shall I knowe that I shall inherite it?
| فَسَأَلَ: «كَيْفَ أَعْلَمُ أَنِّي أَرِثُهَا؟» | ٨ |
9 Then he said vnto him, Take me an heifer of three yeeres olde, and a shee goate of three yeeres olde, and a ramme of three yeeres olde, a turtle doue also and a pigeon.
| فَأَجَابَهُ الرَّبُّ: «خُذْ لِي عِجْلَةً وَعَنْزَةً وَكَبْشاً، عُمْرُ كُلٍّ مِنْهَا ثَلاثُ سَنَوَاتٍ، وَيَمَامَةً وَحَمَامَةً». | ٩ |
10 So he tooke all these vnto him, and deuided them into the middes, and laid euery piece one against an other: but the birdes deuided he not.
| فَأَخَذَ هَذِهِ كُلَّهَا وَشَقَّ الْبَهَائِمَ مِنَ الْوَسَطِ إِلَى شَطْرَيْنِ، وَجَعَلَ كُلَّ شَطْرٍ مِنْهَا مُقَابِلَ الشَّطْرِ الآخَرِ. أَمَّا الطَّيْرُ فَلَمْ يَشْطُرْهُ. | ١٠ |
11 Then foules fell on the carkases, and Abram droue them away.
| وَعِنْدَمَا أَخَذَتِ الطُّيُورُ الْجَارِحَةُ تَنْقَضُّ عَلَى الْجُثَثِ زَجَرَهَا أَبْرَامُ. | ١١ |
12 And when the sunne went downe, there fell an heauie sleepe vpon Abram: and loe, a very fearefull darkenes fell vpon him.
| وَلَمَّا مَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ إِلَى الْمَغِيبِ غَرِقَ أَبْرَامُ فِي نَوْمٍ عَمِيقٍ، وَإذَا بِظُلْمَةٍ مُخِيفَةٍ وَمُتَكَاثِفَةٍ تَكْتَنِفُهُ. | ١٢ |
13 Then he saide to Abram, Knowe for a suretie, that thy seede shalbe a stranger in a land, that is not theirs, foure hundreth yeeres, and shall serue them: and they shall intreate them euill.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّبُّ: «تَيَقَّنْ أَنَّ نَسْلَكَ سَيَتَغَرَّبُ فِي أَرْضٍ لَيْسَتْ لَهُمْ، فَيَسْتَعْبِدُهُمْ أَهْلُهَا وَيُذِلُّونَهُمْ أَرْبَعَ مِئَةِ سَنَةٍ. | ١٣ |
14 Notwithstanding the nation, whom they shall serue, will I iudge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
| وَلَكِنَّنِي سَأَدِينُ تِلْكَ الأُمَّةَ الَّتِي اسْتَعْبَدَتْهُمْ، ثُمَّ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ يَخْرُجُونَ بِأَمْوَالٍ طَائِلَةٍ. | ١٤ |
15 But thou shalt goe vnto thy fathers in peace, and shalt be buried in a good age.
| أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَسَتَمُوتُ بِسَلامٍ وَتُدْفَنُ بِشَيْبَةٍ صَالِحَةٍ. | ١٥ |
16 And in the fourth generation they shall come hither againe: for the wickednes of the Amorites is not yet full.
| أَمَّا هُمْ فَسَيَرْجِعُونَ بَعْدَ أَرْبَعَةِ أَجْيَالٍ إِلَى هُنَا، لأَنَّ إِثْمَ الأَمُورِيِّينَ لَمْ يَكْتَمِلْ بَعْدُ». | ١٦ |
17 Also when the sunne went downe, there was a darkenes: and behold, a smoking fornace, and a firebrand, which went betweene those pieces.
| وَعِنْدَمَا غَرَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَخَيَّمَ الظَّلامُ (ظَهَرَ) تَنُّورُ دُخَانٍ وَمِشْعَلُ نَارٍ يَجْتَازُ بَيْنَ تِلْكَ الْقِطَعِ. | ١٧ |
18 In that same day the Lord made a couenant with Abram, saying, Vnto thy seede haue I giuen this lande, from the riuer of Egypt vnto the great riuer, the riuer 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 Kenites, and the Kenizites, and the Kadmonites,
| أَرْضَ الْقَيْنِيِّينَ وَالْقَنِزِّيِّينَ، وَالْقَدْمُونِيِّينَ | ١٩ |
20 And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,
| وَالْحِثِّيِّينَ وَالْفَرِزِّيِّينَ وَالرَّفَائِيِّينَ | ٢٠ |
21 The Amorites also, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Iebusites.
| وَالأَمُورِيِّينَ وَالْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ وَالْجِرْجَاشِيِّينَ وَالْيَبُوسِيِّينَ». | ٢١ |
