< Genesis 22 >

1 It happened after these things, that God tested Abraham, and said to him, "Abraham, Abraham." He said, "Here I am."
وَبَعْدَ هَذَا امْتَحَنَ اللهُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، فَنَادَاهُ: «يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ» فَأَجَابَهُ: «لَبَّيْكَ».١
2 He said, "Now take your son, your only one, whom you love, even Isaac, and go into the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you of."
فَقَالَ لَهُ: «خُذِ ابْنَكَ وَحِيدَكَ، إِسْحاقَ الَّذِي تُحِبُّهُ، وَانْطَلِقْ إِلَى أَرْضِ الْمُرِيَّا وَقَدِّمْهُ مُحْرَقَةً عَلَى أَحَدِ الْجِبَالِ الَّذِي أَهْدِيكَ إِلَيْهِ».٢
3 Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son. He split the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went to the place of which God had told 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 lifted up his eyes, and saw the place far off.
وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ تَطَلَّعَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ فَشَاهَدَ الْمَكَانَ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ،٤
5 Abraham said to his young men, "Stay here with the donkey. The boy and I will go over there, and we will worship, and come back to you."
فَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ لِغُلامَيْهِ: «امْكُثَا هُنَا مَعَ الْحِمَارِ، رَيْثَمَا أَصْعَدُ أَنَا وَالصَّبِيُّ إِلَى هُنَاكَ لَنَتَعَبَّدَ لِلهِ ثُمَّ نَعُودَ إِلَيْكُمَا».٥
6 Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son. He took in his hand the fire and the knife. They both went together.
فَحَمَّلَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ إِسْحاقَ حَطَبَ الْمُحْرَقَةِ، وَأَخَذَ هُوَ بِيَدِهِ النَّارَ وَالسِّكِّينَ وَذَهَبَا كِلاهُمَا مَعاً.٦
7 Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said, "My father?" He said, "Here I am, my son." He said, "Here is the fire and the wood, but where is 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 Abraham said, "God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son." So they both went together.
فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ إِبْرَاهِيمُ: «إِنَّ اللهَ يُدَبِّرُ لِنَفْسِهِ الْخَرُوفَ لِلْمُحْرَقَةِ يَا ابْنِي». وَتَابَعَا مَسِيرَهُمَا مَعاً.٨
9 They came to the place which God had told him of. Abraham built the altar there and arranged the wood, and 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 reached out his hand, and took the knife to kill his son.
وَمَدَّ إِبْرَاهِيمُ يَدَهُ وَتَنَاوَلَ السِّكِّينَ لِيَذْبَحَ ابْنَهُ.١٠
11 But an angel of God called to him out of the sky, and said, "Abraham, Abraham." And he said, "Here I am."
فَنَادَاهُ مَلاكُ الرَّبِّ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ قَائِلاً: «إِبْرَاهِيمُ، إِبْرَاهِيمُ» فَأَجَابَ: «نَعَمْ».١١
12 He said, "Do not lay your hand on the boy, neither do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, seeing you 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 looked up and saw behind him a ram caught in the thicket by his horns. And Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up as 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 Abraham called the name of that place Elohim Yireh. As it is said to this day, "On the mountain, God will provide."
وَدَعَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ اسْمَ ذَلِكَ الْمَكَانِ «يَهْوَهْ يِرْأَه» (وَمَعْنَاهُ: الرَّبُّ يُدَبِّرُ). وَلِذَلِكَ يُقَالُ حَتَّى الْيَوْمِ «فِي جَبَلِ الرَّبِّ، الإِلَهِ يُرَى».١٤
15 The angel of God called to Abraham a second time out of the sky,
وَنَادَى مَلاكُ الرَّبِّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَرَّةً ثَانِيَةً:١٥
16 and said, "I have sworn by myself," says the LORD, "because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only one, from me,
وَقَالَ: «هَا أَنَا أُقْسِمُ بِذَاتِي يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: لأَنَّكَ صَنَعْتَ هَذَا الأَمْرَ، وَلَمْ تَمْنَعِ ابْنَكَ وَحِيدَكَ عَنِّي،١٦
17 I will indeed bless you, and I will greatly multiply your offspring like the stars of the sky, and like the sand which is on the seashore; and your offspring will possess the gate of their enemies.
لأُبَارِكَنَّكَ وَأُكَثِّرَنَّ ذُرِّيَّتَكَ فَتَكُونُ كَنُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ وَكَرَمْلِ شَاطِئِ الْبَحْرِ، وَتَرِثُ ذُرِّيَّتُكَ مُدُنَ أَعْدَائِهَا.١٧
18 And through your offspring all the nations of the earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice."
وَبِذُرِّيَّتِكَ تَتَبَارَكُ جَمِيعُ أُمَمِ الأَرْضِ، لأَنَّكَ أَطَعْتَنِي».١٨
19 So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba. Abraham lived at Beersheba.
ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ إِلَى غُلَامَيْهِ، وَعَادُوا جَمِيعاً إِلَى بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ حَيْثُ أَقَامَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ.١٩
20 It happened after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, "Look, Milcah also has borne children to your brother Nahor:
وَقِيلَ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ بَعْدَ هَذِهِ الأُمُورِ: «هُوَذَا مِلْكَةُ أَيْضاً قَدْ وَلَدَتْ بَنِينَ لأَخِيكَ نَاحُورَ.٢٠
21 Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,
عُوصاً الْبِكْرَ، وَأَخَاهُ بُوزاً وَقُمُوئِيلَ أَبَا أَرَامَ،٢١
22 Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel."
وَكَاسَدَ وَحَزْواً وَفِلْدَاشَ وَيِدْلافَ وَبَتُوئِيلَ».٢٢
23 Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
وَأَنْجَبَ بَتُوئِيلُ رِفْقَةَ. هَؤُلاءِ الثَّمَانِيَةُ أَنْجَبَتْهُمْ مِلْكَةُ لِنَاحُورَ أَخِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ.٢٣
24 His secondary wife, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
كَذَلِكَ أَنْجَبَتْ لَهُ سُرِّيَّتُهُ الْمَدْعُوَّةُ رُؤُومَةَ طَابَحَ وَجَاحَمَ وَتَاحَشَ وَمَعْكَةَ.٢٤
