Genesis 22
1 And it comes to pass after these things that God has tried Abraham and says to him, “Abraham”; and he says, “Here I [am].”
| وَبَعْدَ هَذَا امْتَحَنَ اللهُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، فَنَادَاهُ: «يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ» فَأَجَابَهُ: «لَبَّيْكَ». | ١ |
2 And He says, “Now take your son, your only one, whom you have loved, even Isaac, and go for yourself to the land of Moriah, and cause him to ascend there for a burnt-offering on one of the mountains of which I speak to you.”
| فَقَالَ لَهُ: «خُذِ ابْنَكَ وَحِيدَكَ، إِسْحاقَ الَّذِي تُحِبُّهُ، وَانْطَلِقْ إِلَى أَرْضِ الْمُرِيَّا وَقَدِّمْهُ مُحْرَقَةً عَلَى أَحَدِ الْجِبَالِ الَّذِي أَهْدِيكَ إِلَيْهِ». | ٢ |
3 And Abraham rises early in the morning, and saddles his donkey, and takes two of his young men with him, and his son Isaac, and he cleaves the wood of the burnt-offering, and rises and goes to the place of which God has spoken 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—Abraham lifts up his eyes, and sees the place from afar;
| وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ تَطَلَّعَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ فَشَاهَدَ الْمَكَانَ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، | ٤ |
5 and Abraham says to his young men, “Remain by yourselves here with the donkey, and I and the youth go over there and worship, and return to you.”
| فَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ لِغُلامَيْهِ: «امْكُثَا هُنَا مَعَ الْحِمَارِ، رَيْثَمَا أَصْعَدُ أَنَا وَالصَّبِيُّ إِلَى هُنَاكَ لَنَتَعَبَّدَ لِلهِ ثُمَّ نَعُودَ إِلَيْكُمَا». | ٥ |
6 And Abraham takes the wood of the burnt-offering, and places on his son Isaac, and he takes in his hand the fire, and the knife; and they go on both of them together.
| فَحَمَّلَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ إِسْحاقَ حَطَبَ الْمُحْرَقَةِ، وَأَخَذَ هُوَ بِيَدِهِ النَّارَ وَالسِّكِّينَ وَذَهَبَا كِلاهُمَا مَعاً. | ٦ |
7 And Isaac speaks to his father Abraham and says, “My father,” and he says, “Here I [am], my son.” And he says, “Behold, the fire and the wood, and where the lamb for a burnt-offering?”
| وَقَالَ إِسْحاقُ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ أَبِيهِ: «يَا أَبِي». فَأَجَابَهُ: «نَعَمْ يَا بُنَيَّ». فَسَأَلَهُ: «هَا هِيَ النَّارُ وَالْحَطَبُ، وَلَكِنْ أَيْنَ خَرُوفُ الْمُحْرَقَةِ؟». | ٧ |
8 And Abraham says, “God provides for Himself the lamb for a burnt-offering, my son”; and they go on both of them together.
| فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ إِبْرَاهِيمُ: «إِنَّ اللهَ يُدَبِّرُ لِنَفْسِهِ الْخَرُوفَ لِلْمُحْرَقَةِ يَا ابْنِي». وَتَابَعَا مَسِيرَهُمَا مَعاً. | ٨ |
9 And they come to the place of which God has spoken to him, and there Abraham builds the altar, and arranges the wood, and binds his son Isaac, and places him on the altar above 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 Abraham puts forth his hand, and takes the knife—to slaughter his son.
| وَمَدَّ إِبْرَاهِيمُ يَدَهُ وَتَنَاوَلَ السِّكِّينَ لِيَذْبَحَ ابْنَهُ. | ١٠ |
11 And the Messenger of YHWH calls to him from the heavens and says, “Abraham, Abraham”; and he says, “Here I [am]”;
| فَنَادَاهُ مَلاكُ الرَّبِّ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ قَائِلاً: «إِبْرَاهِيمُ، إِبْرَاهِيمُ» فَأَجَابَ: «نَعَمْ». | ١١ |
12 and He says, “Do not put forth your hand to the youth, nor do anything to him, for now I have known that you are fearing God, and have not withheld your son, your only one, from Me.”
| فَقَالَ: «لا تَمُدَّ يَدَكَ إِلَى الصَّبِيِّ وَلا تُوْقِعْ بِهِ ضَرَراً لأَنِّي عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكَ تَخَافُ اللهَ وَلَمْ تَمْنَعِ ابْنَكَ وَحِيدَكَ عَنِّي». | ١٢ |
13 And Abraham lifts up his eyes, and looks, and behold, a ram behind, seized in a thicket by its horns; and Abraham goes, and takes the ram, and causes it to ascend for a burnt-offering instead of his son;
| وَإِذْ تَطَلَّعَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ حَوْلَهُ رَأَى خَلْفَهُ كَبْشاً قَدْ عَلِقَ بِفُرُوعِ أَشْجَارِ الْغَابَةِ، فَذَهَبَ وَأَحْضَرَهُ وَأَصْعَدَهُ مُحْرَقَةً عِوَضاً عَنِ ابْنِهِ. | ١٣ |
14 and Abraham calls the name of that place “YHWH-Jireh,” because it is said this day in the mountain, “YHWH provides.”
| وَدَعَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ اسْمَ ذَلِكَ الْمَكَانِ «يَهْوَهْ يِرْأَه» (وَمَعْنَاهُ: الرَّبُّ يُدَبِّرُ). وَلِذَلِكَ يُقَالُ حَتَّى الْيَوْمِ «فِي جَبَلِ الرَّبِّ، الإِلَهِ يُرَى». | ١٤ |
15 And the Messenger of YHWH calls to Abraham a second time from the heavens,
| وَنَادَى مَلاكُ الرَّبِّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَرَّةً ثَانِيَةً: | ١٥ |
16 and says, “I have sworn by Myself—a declaration of YHWH—that because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only one,
| وَقَالَ: «هَا أَنَا أُقْسِمُ بِذَاتِي يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: لأَنَّكَ صَنَعْتَ هَذَا الأَمْرَ، وَلَمْ تَمْنَعِ ابْنَكَ وَحِيدَكَ عَنِّي، | ١٦ |
17 that blessing I bless you, and multiplying I multiply your seed as stars of the heavens, and as sand which [is] on the seashore; and your Seed possesses the gate of His enemies;
| لأُبَارِكَنَّكَ وَأُكَثِّرَنَّ ذُرِّيَّتَكَ فَتَكُونُ كَنُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ وَكَرَمْلِ شَاطِئِ الْبَحْرِ، وَتَرِثُ ذُرِّيَّتُكَ مُدُنَ أَعْدَائِهَا. | ١٧ |
18 and all nations of the earth have blessed themselves in your Seed, because you have listened to My voice.”
| وَبِذُرِّيَّتِكَ تَتَبَارَكُ جَمِيعُ أُمَمِ الأَرْضِ، لأَنَّكَ أَطَعْتَنِي». | ١٨ |
19 And Abraham turns back to his young men, and they rise and go together to Beer-Sheba; and Abraham dwells in Beer-Sheba.
| ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ إِلَى غُلَامَيْهِ، وَعَادُوا جَمِيعاً إِلَى بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ حَيْثُ أَقَامَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ. | ١٩ |
20 And it comes to pass after these things that it is declared to Abraham, saying, “Behold, Milcah has borne, even she, sons to your brother Nahor:
| وَقِيلَ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ بَعْدَ هَذِهِ الأُمُورِ: «هُوَذَا مِلْكَةُ أَيْضاً قَدْ وَلَدَتْ بَنِينَ لأَخِيكَ نَاحُورَ. | ٢٠ |
21 his firstborn Huz, and his brother Buz; and Kemuel father of Aram,
| عُوصاً الْبِكْرَ، وَأَخَاهُ بُوزاً وَقُمُوئِيلَ أَبَا أَرَامَ، | ٢١ |
22 and Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel;
| وَكَاسَدَ وَحَزْواً وَفِلْدَاشَ وَيِدْلافَ وَبَتُوئِيلَ». | ٢٢ |
23 and Bethuel has begotten Rebekah”; Milcah has borne these eight to Nahor, Abraham’s brother;
| وَأَنْجَبَ بَتُوئِيلُ رِفْقَةَ. هَؤُلاءِ الثَّمَانِيَةُ أَنْجَبَتْهُمْ مِلْكَةُ لِنَاحُورَ أَخِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ. | ٢٣ |
24 and his concubine, whose name [is] Reumah, she also has borne Tebah, and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maachah.
| كَذَلِكَ أَنْجَبَتْ لَهُ سُرِّيَّتُهُ الْمَدْعُوَّةُ رُؤُومَةَ طَابَحَ وَجَاحَمَ وَتَاحَشَ وَمَعْكَةَ. | ٢٤ |
