Genesis 15
1 After these things the word of Yahweh came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Fear not, Abram! I am your shield and your very great reward.”
| وَبَعْدَ هَذِهِ الأُمُورِ قَالَ الرَّبُّ لأَبْرَامَ فِي الرُّؤْيَا: «لا تَخَفْ يَا أَبْرَامُ. أَنَا تُرْسٌ لَكَ. وَأَجْرُكَ عَظِيمٌ جِدّاً». | ١ |
2 Abram said, “Lord Yahweh, what will you give me, since I continue childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?”
| فَقَالَ أَبْرَامُ: «أَيُّهَا السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ أَيُّ خَيْرٍ فِي مَا تُعْطِينِي وَأَنَا مِنْ غَيْرِ عَقِبٍ وَوَارِثُ بَيْتِي هُوَ أَلِيعَازَرُ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ؟» | ٢ |
3 Abram said, “Since you have given me no descendant, see, the steward of my house is my heir.”
| وَقَالَ أَبْرَامُ أَيْضاً: «إِنَّكَ لَمْ تُعْطِنِي نَسْلاً، وَهَا هُوَ عَبْدٌ مَوْلُودٌ فِي بَيْتِي يَكُونُ وَارِثِي» | ٣ |
4 Then, behold, the word of Yahweh came to him, saying, “This man will not be your heir; but rather the one who will come from your own body will be your heir.”
| فَأَجَابَهُ الرَّبُّ: «لَنْ يَكُونَ هَذَا لَكَ وَرِيثاً، بَلِ الَّذِي يَخْرُجُ مِنْ صُلْبِكَ يَكُونُ وَرِيثَكَ». | ٤ |
5 Then he brought him outside, and said, “Look toward heaven, and number the stars, if you are able to number them.” Then he said to him, “So will your descendants be.”
| وَأَخْرَجَهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَى الْخَارِجِ وَقَالَ: «انْظُرْ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَعُدَّ النُّجُومَ إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ ذَلِكَ». ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ: «هَكَذَا يَكُونُ نَسْلُكَ». | ٥ |
6 He believed Yahweh, and he counted it to him as righteousness.
| فَآمَنَ بِالرَّبِّ فَحَسَبَهُ لَهُ بِرّاً، | ٦ |
7 He said to him, “I am Yahweh, who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to give you this land to inherit it.”
| وَقَالَ لَهُ: «أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ الَّذِي أَتَى بِكَ مِنْ أُورِ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ لأُعْطِيَكَ هَذِهِ الأَرْضَ مِيرَاثاً». | ٧ |
8 He said, “Lord Yahweh, how will I know that I will inherit it?”
| فَسَأَلَ: «كَيْفَ أَعْلَمُ أَنِّي أَرِثُهَا؟» | ٨ |
9 Then he said to him, “Bring me a heifer three years old, a female goat three years old, a ram three years old, a dove, and a young pigeon.”
| فَأَجَابَهُ الرَّبُّ: «خُذْ لِي عِجْلَةً وَعَنْزَةً وَكَبْشاً، عُمْرُ كُلٍّ مِنْهَا ثَلاثُ سَنَوَاتٍ، وَيَمَامَةً وَحَمَامَةً». | ٩ |
10 He brought him all these, and cut them in two, and placed each half opposite the other, but he did not divide the birds.
| فَأَخَذَ هَذِهِ كُلَّهَا وَشَقَّ الْبَهَائِمَ مِنَ الْوَسَطِ إِلَى شَطْرَيْنِ، وَجَعَلَ كُلَّ شَطْرٍ مِنْهَا مُقَابِلَ الشَّطْرِ الآخَرِ. أَمَّا الطَّيْرُ فَلَمْ يَشْطُرْهُ. | ١٠ |
11 When the birds of prey came down upon the carcasses, Abram drove them away.
| وَعِنْدَمَا أَخَذَتِ الطُّيُورُ الْجَارِحَةُ تَنْقَضُّ عَلَى الْجُثَثِ زَجَرَهَا أَبْرَامُ. | ١١ |
12 Then when the sun was going down, Abram fell sound asleep and, behold, a deep and terrifying darkness overwhelmed him.
| وَلَمَّا مَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ إِلَى الْمَغِيبِ غَرِقَ أَبْرَامُ فِي نَوْمٍ عَمِيقٍ، وَإذَا بِظُلْمَةٍ مُخِيفَةٍ وَمُتَكَاثِفَةٍ تَكْتَنِفُهُ. | ١٢ |
13 Then Yahweh said to Abram, “Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, and will be enslaved and oppressed for four hundred years.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّبُّ: «تَيَقَّنْ أَنَّ نَسْلَكَ سَيَتَغَرَّبُ فِي أَرْضٍ لَيْسَتْ لَهُمْ، فَيَسْتَعْبِدُهُمْ أَهْلُهَا وَيُذِلُّونَهُمْ أَرْبَعَ مِئَةِ سَنَةٍ. | ١٣ |
14 I will judge that nation that they will serve, and afterward they will come out with abundant possessions.
| وَلَكِنَّنِي سَأَدِينُ تِلْكَ الأُمَّةَ الَّتِي اسْتَعْبَدَتْهُمْ، ثُمَّ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ يَخْرُجُونَ بِأَمْوَالٍ طَائِلَةٍ. | ١٤ |
15 But you will go to your fathers in peace, and you will be buried in a good old age.
| أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَسَتَمُوتُ بِسَلامٍ وَتُدْفَنُ بِشَيْبَةٍ صَالِحَةٍ. | ١٥ |
16 In the fourth generation they will come here again, for the iniquity of the Amorites has not yet reached its limit.”
| أَمَّا هُمْ فَسَيَرْجِعُونَ بَعْدَ أَرْبَعَةِ أَجْيَالٍ إِلَى هُنَا، لأَنَّ إِثْمَ الأَمُورِيِّينَ لَمْ يَكْتَمِلْ بَعْدُ». | ١٦ |
17 When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between the pieces.
| وَعِنْدَمَا غَرَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَخَيَّمَ الظَّلامُ (ظَهَرَ) تَنُّورُ دُخَانٍ وَمِشْعَلُ نَارٍ يَجْتَازُ بَيْنَ تِلْكَ الْقِطَعِ. | ١٧ |
18 On that day Yahweh made a covenant with Abram, saying, “To your descendants I hereby give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the 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, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites,
| أَرْضَ الْقَيْنِيِّينَ وَالْقَنِزِّيِّينَ، وَالْقَدْمُونِيِّينَ | ١٩ |
20 the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaites,
| وَالْحِثِّيِّينَ وَالْفَرِزِّيِّينَ وَالرَّفَائِيِّينَ | ٢٠ |
21 the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.”
| وَالأَمُورِيِّينَ وَالْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ وَالْجِرْجَاشِيِّينَ وَالْيَبُوسِيِّينَ». | ٢١ |
