Genesis 15
1 And after these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram, I shield you, your reward shall be very great.
| بَعْدَ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ صَارَ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى أَبْرَامَ فِي ٱلرُّؤْيَا قَائِلًا: «لَا تَخَفْ يَا أَبْرَامُ. أَنَا تُرْسٌ لَكَ. أَجْرُكَ كَثِيرٌ جِدًّا». | ١ |
2 And Abram said, Master [and] Lord, what will you give me? whereas I am departing without a child, but the son of Masek my home-born female slave, this Eliezer of Damascus [is mine heir.]
| فَقَالَ أَبْرَامُ: «أَيُّهَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، مَاذَا تُعْطِينِي وَأَنَا مَاضٍ عَقِيمًا، وَمَالِكُ بَيْتِي هُوَ أَلِيعَازَرُ ٱلدِّمَشْقِيُّ؟» | ٢ |
3 And Abram said, [I am grieved] since you have given me no seed, but my home-born [servant] shall succeed me.
| وَقَالَ أَبْرَامُ أَيْضًا: «إِنَّكَ لَمْ تُعْطِنِي نَسْلًا، وَهُوَذَا ٱبْنُ بَيْتِي وَارِثٌ لِي». | ٣ |
4 And immediately there was a voice of the Lord to him, saying, This shall not be your heir; but he that shall come out of you shall be your heir.
| فَإِذَا كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَيْهِ قَائِلًا: «لَا يَرِثُكَ هَذَا، بَلِ ٱلَّذِي يَخْرُجُ مِنْ أَحْشَائِكَ هُوَ يَرِثُكَ». | ٤ |
5 And he brought him out and said to him, Look up now to heaven, and count the stars, if you shall be able to number them fully, and he said, Thus shall your seed be.
| ثُمَّ أَخْرَجَهُ إِلَى خَارِجٍ وَقَالَ: «ٱنْظُرْ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَعُدَّ ٱلنُّجُومَ إِنِ ٱسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ تَعُدَّهَا». وَقَالَ لَهُ: «هَكَذَا يَكُونُ نَسْلُكَ». | ٥ |
6 And Abram believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.
| فَآمَنَ بِٱلرَّبِّ فَحَسِبَهُ لَهُ بِرًّا. | ٦ |
7 And he said to him, I am God that brought you out of the land of the Chaldeans, so as to give you this land to inherit.
| وَقَالَ لَهُ: «أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي أَخْرَجَكَ مِنْ أُورِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ لِيُعْطِيَكَ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضَ لِتَرِثَهَا». | ٧ |
8 And he said, Master [and] Lord, how shall I know that I shall inherit it?
| فَقَالَ: «أَيُّهَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، بِمَاذَا أَعْلَمُ أَنِّي أَرِثُهَا؟» | ٨ |
9 And he said to him, Take for me an heifer in her third year, and a she-goat in her third year, and a ram in his third year, and a dove and a pigeon.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ: «خُذْ لِي عِجْلَةً ثُلَاثِيَّةً، وَعَنْزَةً ثُلَاثِيَّةً، وَكَبْشًا ثُلَاثِيًّا، وَيَمَامَةً وَحَمَامَةً». | ٩ |
10 So he took to him all these, and divided them in the midst, and set them opposite to each other, but the birds he did not divide.
| فَأَخَذَ هَذِهِ كُلَّهَا وَشَقَّهَا مِنَ ٱلْوَسَطِ، وَجَعَلَ شِقَّ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مُقَابِلَ صَاحِبِهِ. وَأَمَّا ٱلطَّيْرُ فَلَمْ يَشُقَّهُ. | ١٠ |
11 And birds came down upon the bodies, [even] upon the divided parts of them, and Abram sat down by them.
| فَنَزَلَتِ ٱلْجَوَارِحُ عَلَى ٱلْجُثَثِ، وَكَانَ أَبْرَامُ يَزْجُرُهَا. | ١١ |
12 And about sunset a trance fell upon Abram, and behold! a great gloomy terror falls upon him.
| وَلَمَّا صَارَتِ ٱلشَّمْسُ إِلَى ٱلْمَغِيبِ، وَقَعَ عَلَى أَبْرَامَ سُبَاتٌ، وَإِذَا رُعْبَةٌ مُظْلِمَةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ وَاقِعَةٌ عَلَيْهِ. | ١٢ |
13 And it was said to Abram, You shall surely know that your seed shall be a sojourner in a land not their won, and they shall enslave them, and afflict them, and humble them four hundred years.
| فَقَالَ لِأَبْرَامَ: «ٱعْلَمْ يَقِينًا أَنَّ نَسْلَكَ سَيَكُونُ غَرِيبًا فِي أَرْضٍ لَيْسَتْ لَهُمْ، وَيُسْتَعْبَدُونَ لَهُمْ. فَيُذِلُّونَهُمْ أَرْبَعَ مِئَةِ سَنَةٍ. | ١٣ |
14 And the nation whoever they shall serve I will judge; and after this, they shall come forth hither with much property.
| ثُمَّ ٱلْأُمَّةُ ٱلَّتِي يُسْتَعْبَدُونَ لَهَا أَنَا أَدِينُهَا، وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ يَخْرُجُونَ بِأَمْلَاكٍ جَزِيلَةٍ. | ١٤ |
15 But you shall depart to your fathers in peace, nourished in a good old age.
| وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ فَتَمْضِي إِلَى آبَائِكَ بِسَلَامٍ وَتُدْفَنُ بِشَيْبَةٍ صَالِحَةٍ. | ١٥ |
16 And in the fourth generation they shall return hither, for the sins of the Amorites are not yet filled up, even until now.
| وَفِي ٱلْجِيلِ ٱلرَّابِعِ يَرْجِعُونَ إِلَى هَهُنَا، لِأَنَّ ذَنْبَ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ لَيْسَ إِلَى ٱلْآنَ كَامِلًا». | ١٦ |
17 And when the sun was about to set, there was a flame, and behold a smoking furnace and lamps of fire, which passed between these divided pieces.
| ثُمَّ غَابَتِ ٱلشَّمْسُ فَصَارَتِ ٱلْعَتَمَةُ، وَإِذَا تَنُّورُ دُخَانٍ وَمِصْبَاحُ نَارٍ يَجُوزُ بَيْنَ تِلْكَ ٱلْقِطَعِ. | ١٧ |
18 In that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, To your seed I will give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river Euphrates.
| فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ قَطَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ مَعَ أَبْرَامَ مِيثَاقًا قَائِلًا: «لِنَسْلِكَ أُعْطِي هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضَ، مِنْ نَهْرِ مِصْرَ إِلَى ٱلنَّهْرِ ٱلْكَبِيرِ، نَهْرِ ٱلْفُرَاتِ. | ١٨ |
19 The Kenites, and the Kenezites, and the Kedmoneans,
| ٱلْقِينِيِّينَ وَٱلْقَنِزِّيِّينَ وَٱلْقَدْمُونِيِّينَ | ١٩ |
20 and the Chettites, and the Pherezites, and the Raphaim,
| وَٱلْحِثِّيِّينَ وَٱلْفَرِزِّيِّينَ وَٱلرَّفَائِيِّينَ | ٢٠ |
21 and the Amorites, and the Chananites, and the Evites, and the Gergesites, and the Jebusites.
| وَٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ وَٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ وَٱلْجِرْجَاشِيِّينَ وَٱلْيَبُوسِيِّينَ». | ٢١ |
