Genesis 20
1 And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the land of the South, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur; and he sojourned in Gerar.
| وَارْتَحَلَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ مِنْ هُنَاكَ إِلَى أَرْضِ النَّقَبِ، وَأَقَامَ بَيْنَ قَادَشَ وَشُورَ، وَتَغَرَّبَ فِي جَرَارَ. | ١ |
2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
| وَهُنَاكَ قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَنْ سَارَةَ زَوْجَتِهِ: «هِيَ أُخْتِي». فَأَرْسَلَ أَبِيمَالِكُ مَلِكُ جَرَارَ وَأَحْضَرَ سَارَةَ إِلَيْهِ. | ٢ |
3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, because of the woman which thou hast taken; for she is a man’s wife.
| وَلِكَنَّ اللهَ تَجَلَّى لأَبِيمَالِكَ فِي حُلْمٍ فِي اللَّيْلِ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «إِنَّكَ سَتَمُوتُ بِسَبَبِ الْمَرْأَةِ الَّتِي أَخَذْتَهَا، فَإِنَّهَا مُتَزَوِّجَةٌ». | ٣ |
4 Now Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou slay even a righteous nation?
| وَلَمْ يَكُنْ أَبِيمَالِكُ قَدْ مَسَّهَا بَعْدُ، فَقَالَ لِلرَّبِّ: «أَتُمِيتُ أُمَّةً بَرِيئَةً؟ | ٤ |
5 Said he not himself unto me, She is my sister? and she, even she herself said, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart and the innocency of my hands have I done this.
| أَلَمْ يَقُلْ لِي إِنَّهَا أُخْتِي وَهِيَ نَفْسُهَا ادَّعَتْ أَنَّهُ أَخُوهَا؟ مَا فَعَلْتُ هَذَا إِلّا بِسَلامَةِ قَلْبِي وَطَهَارَةِ يَدَيَّ». | ٥ |
6 And God said unto him in the dream, Yea, I know that in the integrity of thy heart thou hast done this, and I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her.
| فَأَجَابَهُ الرَّبُّ: «أَنَا أَيْضاً عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكَ بِسَلامَةِ قَلْبِكَ قَدْ فَعَلْتَ هَذَا، وَأَنَا أَيْضاً مَنَعْتُكَ مِنْ أَنْ تُخْطِئَ إِلَيَّ وَلَمْ أَدَعْكَ تَمَسُّهَا. | ٦ |
7 Now therefore restore the man’s wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine.
| وَالآنَ، رُدَّ لِلرَّجُلِ زَوْجَتَهُ فَإِنَّهُ نَبِيٌّ، فَيُصَلِّيَ مِنْ أَجْلِكَ فَتَحْيَا. وَإِنْ لَمْ تَرُدَّهَا فَإِنَّك وَكُلَّ مَنْ لَكَ حَتْماً تَمُوتُونَ». | ٧ |
8 And Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men were sore afraid.
| فَبَكَّرَ أَبِيمَالِكُ فِي الصَّبَاحِ وَاسْتَدْعَى جَمِيعَ عَبِيدِهِ، وَأَطْلَعَهُمْ عَلَى جَلِيَّةِ الأَمْرِ، فَاعْتَرَاهُمْ خَوْفٌ عَظِيمٌ. | ٨ |
9 Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast thou done unto us? and wherein have I sinned against thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done deeds unto me that ought not to be done.
| ثُمَّ دَعَا أَبِيمَالِكُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «مَاذَا فَعَلْتَ بِنَا؟ أَيُّ خَطَأٍ ارْتَكَبْتُهُ فِي حَقِّكَ حَتَّى جَلَبْتَ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَى مَمْلَكَتِي هَذَا الذَّنْبَ الْعَظِيمَ؟ لَقَدِ اقْتَرَفْتَ فِي حَقِّي أُمُوراً مَا كَانَ يَجِبُ أَنْ تَقْتَرِفَهَا». | ٩ |
10 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?
| وَسَأَلَ أَبِيمَالِكُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ: «مَاذَا بَدَا لَكَ حَتَّى ارْتَكَبْتَ هَذَا الْفِعْلَ؟» | ١٠ |
11 And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife’s sake.
| فَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ: «لَقَدْ فَعَلْتُ هَذَا لأَنَّنِي ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ فِي هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ بِأَسْرِهِ خَوْفُ اللهِ فَخَشِيتُ أَنْ تَقْتُلُونِي مِنْ أَجْلِ زَوْجَتِي. | ١١ |
12 And moreover she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife:
| وَهِيَ بِالْحَقِيقَةِ أُخْتِي، ابْنَةُ أَبِي، غَيْرَ أَنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ ابْنَةَ أُمِّي فَاتَّخَذْتُهَا زَوْجَةً لِي. | ١٢ |
13 and it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my father’s house, that I said unto her, This is thy kindness which thou shalt shew unto me; at every place whither we shall come, say of me, He is my brother.
| وَعِنْدَمَا دَعَانِي اللهُ لأَتَغَرَّبَ بَعِيداً عَنْ بَيْتِ أَبِي قُلْتُ لَهَا: حَيْثُمَا نَذْهَبُ قُولِي إِنِّي أَخُوكِ فَهَذَا هُوَ الْمَعْرُوفُ الَّذِي تَصْنَعِينَهُ لِي». | ١٣ |
14 And Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and menservants and womenservants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.
| فَأَخَذَ أَبِيمَالِكُ غَنَماً وَبَقَراً وَعَبِيداً وَإِمَاءً وَقَدَّمَهَا لإِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَأَرْجَعَ إِلَيْهِ سَارَةَ زَوْجَتَهُ. | ١٤ |
15 And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee.
| وَقَالَ أَبِيمَالِكُ: «هَا هِيَ أَرْضِي أَمَامَكَ فَأَقِمْ حَيْثُ طَابَ لَكَ». | ١٥ |
16 And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver: behold, it is for thee a covering of the eyes to all that are with thee; and in respect of all thou art righted.
| وَقَالَ لِسَارَةَ: «هَا قَدْ وَهَبْتُ أَخَاكِ أَلْفَ قِطْعَةٍ مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ، تَبْرِئَةً لَكِ مِنْ كُلِّ إِسَاءَةٍ أَمَامَ الَّذِينَ مَعَكِ، فَأَنْتِ بَرِيئَةٌ أَمَامَ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ، وَهَكَذَا تَكُونِينَ قَدْ أُنْصِفْتِ». | ١٦ |
17 And Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children.
| فَابْتَهَلَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ إِلَى اللهِ، فَشَفَى أَبِيمَالِكَ وَزَوْجَتَهُ وَجَوَارِيَهُ فَوَلَدْنَ. | ١٧ |
18 For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham’s wife.
| لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ كَانَ قَدْ أَصَابَ نِسَاءَ بَيْتِ أَبِيمَالِكَ بِالْعُقْمِ مِنْ أَجْلِ سَارَةَ زَوْجَةِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ. | ١٨ |
