Genesis 21
1 Yahweh paid attention to Sarah as he had said he would, and Yahweh did for Sarah just as he had promised.
| وَافْتَقَدَ الرَّبُّ سَارَةَ كَمَا قَالَ، وَأَنْجَزَ لَهَا مَا وَعَدَ بِهِ. | ١ |
2 Sarah conceived and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
| فَحَبِلَتْ سَارَةُ وَوَلَدَتْ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ فِي شَيْخُوخَتِهِ ابْناً، فِي الْوَقْتِ الَّذِي عَيَّنَهُ اللهُ لَهُ. | ٢ |
3 Abraham named his son, the one who had been born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.
| فَدَعَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ ابْنَهُ الَّذِي أَنْجَبَتْهُ لَهُ سَارَةُ «إِسْحاقَ». | ٣ |
4 Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, just as God had commanded him.
| وَخَتَنَهُ فِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّامِنِ بِمُوجِبِ أَمْرِ اللهِ. | ٤ |
5 Abraham was one hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.
| وَكَانَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ قَدْ بَلَغَ الْمِئَةَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ عِنْدَمَا وُلِدَ لَهُ إِسْحاقُ. | ٥ |
6 Sarah said, “God has made me laugh; every one who hears will laugh with me.”
| وَقَالَتْ سَارَةُ «لَقَدْ أَضْحَكَنِي الرَّبُّ. كُلُّ مَنْ يَسْمَعُ هَذَا الأَمْرَ يَضْحَكُ مَعِي». | ٦ |
7 She also said, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children, and yet I have borne him a son in his old age!”
| وَأَضَافَتْ أَيْضاً: «مَنْ كَانَ يُمْكِنُ أَنْ يَقُولَ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّ سَارَةَ سَتُرْضِعُ بَنِينَ؟ فَهَا أَنَا قَدْ أَنْجَبْتُ لَهُ ابْناً فِي شَيْخُوخَتِهِ». | ٧ |
8 The child grew and was weaned, and Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.
| وَكَبُرَ إِسْحاقُ وَفُطِمَ. فَأَقَامَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ فِي يَوْمِ فِطَامِهِ مَأْدُبَةً عَظِيمَةً. | ٨ |
9 Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking.
| وَرَأَتْ سَارَةُ أَنَّ ابْنَ هَاجَرَ الْمِصْرِيَّةِ الَّذِي أَنْجَبَتْهُ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ يَسْخَرُ مِنِ ابْنِهَا إِسْحاقَ، | ٩ |
10 So she said to Abraham, “Drive out this slave woman and her son, for the son of this slave woman will not be heir with my son, with Isaac.”
| فَقَالَتْ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ: «اطْرُدْ هَذِهِ الْجَارِيَةَ وَابْنَهَا، فَإِنَّ ابْنَ الْجَارِيَةِ لَنْ يَرِثَ مَعَ ابْنِي إِسْحاقَ». | ١٠ |
11 This thing was very grievous to Abraham because of his son.
| فَقَبُحَ هَذَا الْقَوْلُ فِي نَفْسِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مِنْ أَجْلِ ابْنِهِ. | ١١ |
12 But God said to Abraham, “Do not be grieved because of the lad, and because of your servant woman. Listen to her words in all she says to you about this matter, because it is through Isaac that your descendants will be named.
| فَقَال اللهُ لَهُ: «لا يَسُوءُ فِي نَفْسِكَ أَمْرُ الصَّبِيِّ أَوْ أَمْرُ جَارِيَتِكَ، وَاسْمَعْ لِكَلامِ سَارَةَ فِي كُلِّ مَا تُشِيرُ بِهِ عَلَيْكَ لأَنَّهُ بِإِسْحاقَ يُدْعَى لَكَ نَسْلٌ. | ١٢ |
13 I will also make the son of the servant woman into a nation, because he is your descendant.”
| وَسَأُقِيمُ مِنِ ابْنِ الْجَارِيَةِ أُمَّةً أَيْضاً لأَنَّهُ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِكَ». | ١٣ |
14 Abraham rose up early in the morning, took bread and a skin of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder. He gave her the boy and sent her away. She departed and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
| فَنَهَضَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ فِي الصَّبَاحِ الْبَاكِرِ وَأَخَذَ خُبْزاً وَقِرْبَةَ مَاءٍ وَدَفَعَهُمَا إِلَى هَاجَرَ، وَوَضَعَهُمَا عَلَى كَتِفَيْهَا، ثُمَّ صَرَفَهَا مَعَ الصَّبِيِّ. فَهَامَتْ عَلَى وَجْهِهَا فِي بَرِّيَّةِ بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ. | ١٤ |
15 When the water in the waterskin was gone, she abandoned the child under one of the bushes.
| وَعِنْدَمَا فَرَغَ الْمَاءُ مِنَ الْقِرْبَةِ طَرَحَتِ الصَّبِيَّ تَحْتَ إِحْدَى الأَشْجَارِ، | ١٥ |
16 Then she went, and sat down a short distance from him, about the distance of a bowshot away, for she said, “Let me not look upon the death of the child.” As she sat there across from him, she lifted up her voice and wept.
| وَمَضَتْ وَجَلَسَتْ مُقَابِلَهُ، عَلَى بُعْدِ نَحْوِ مِئَةِ مِتْرٍ، لأَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: «لا أَشْهَدُ مَوْتَ الصَّبِيِّ». فَجَلَسَتْ مُقَابِلَهُ وَرَفَعَتْ صَوْتَهَا وَبَكَتْ. | ١٦ |
17 God heard the voice of the lad, and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said to her, “What troubles you, Hagar? Do not be afraid, for God has heard the voice of the lad where he is.
| وَسَمِعَ اللهُ بُكَاءَ الصَّبِيِّ، فَنَادَى مَلاكُ اللهِ هَاجَرَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَقَالَ لَهَا: «مَا الَّذِي يُزْعِجُكِ يَا هَاجَرُ؟ لَا تَخَافِي، لأَنَّ اللهَ قَدْ سَمِعَ بُكَاءَ الصَّبِيِّ مِنْ حَيْثُ هُوَ مُلْقىً. | ١٧ |
18 Get up, raise up the lad, and encourage him; for I will make him into a great nation.”
| قُومِي وَاحْمِلِي الصَّبِيَّ، وَتَشَبَّثِي بِهِ لأَنَّنِي سَأَجْعَلُهُ أُمَّةً عَظِيمَةً». | ١٨ |
19 Then God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. She went and filled the skin with water, and gave the lad a drink.
| ثُمَّ فَتَحَ عَيْنَيْهَا فَأَبْصَرَتْ بِئْرَ مَاءٍ، فَذَهَبَتْ وَمَلأَتِ الْقِرْبَةَ وَسَقَتِ الصَّبِيَّ. | ١٩ |
20 God was with the lad, and he grew. He lived in the wilderness and became an archer.
| وَكَانَ اللهُ مَعَ الصَّبِيِّ فَكَبُرَ، وَسَكَنَ فِي صَحْرَاءِ فَارَانَ، وَبَرَعَ فِي رَمْيِ الْقَوْسِ. | ٢٠ |
21 He lived in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother got a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
| وَاتَّخَذَتْ لَهُ أُمُّهُ زَوْجَةً مِنْ مِصْرَ. | ٢١ |
22 It came about at that time that Abimelech and Phicol the captain of his army spoke to Abraham, saying, “God is with you in all that you do.
| وَفِي ذَلِكَ الزَّمَانِ خَاطَبَ أَبِيمَالِكُ وَفِيكُولُ قَائِدُ جَيْشِهِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَائِلَيْنِ: «إِنَّ اللهَ مَعَكَ فِي كُلِّ مَا تَقُومُ بِهِ، | ٢٢ |
23 Now therefore swear to me here by God that you will not deal falsely with me, nor with my offspring, nor with my descendants. Show to me and to the land in which you have been staying the same covenant faithfulness that I have shown to you.”
| فَاحْلِفْ لِي الآنَ بِاللهِ أَنْ لَا تَغْدُرَ بِي وَلا بِنَسْلِي وَذُرِّيَّتِي، بَلْ تُحْسِنَ إِلَيَّ وَإِلَى شَعْبِي الَّذِي تَغَرَّبْتَ بَيْنَهُ، كَمَا أَحْسَنْتُ إِلَيْكَ». | ٢٣ |
24 Abraham said, “I swear.”
| فَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ: «أَحْلِفُ». | ٢٤ |
25 Abraham also complained to Abimelech concerning a well of water that Abimelech's servants had seized from him.
| وَعَاتَبَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ أَبِيمَالِكَ مِنْ أَجْلِ الْبِئْرِ الَّتِي اغْتَصَبَهَا عَبِيدُ أَبِيمَالِكَ، | ٢٥ |
26 Abimelech said, “I do not know who has done this thing. You did not tell me before now; I have not heard of it until today.”
| فَقَالَ أَبِيمَالِكُ: «لَسْتُ أَعْلَمُ مَنِ ارْتَكَبَ هَذَا الأَمْرَ، وَأَنْتَ لَمْ تُخْبِرْنِي بِهِ، وَلَمْ أَسْمَعْ عَنْهُ سِوَى الْيَوْمِ». | ٢٦ |
27 So Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abimelech, and the two men made a covenant.
| ثُمَّ أَعْطَى إِبْرَاهِيمُ أَبِيمَالِكَ غَنَماً وَبَقَراً وَقَطَعَ كِلاهُمَا عَهْداً. | ٢٧ |
28 Then Abraham set seven female lambs of the flock by themselves.
| وَفَرَزَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ سَبْعَ نِعَاجٍ مِنَ الْغَنَمِ وَحْدَهَا. | ٢٨ |
29 Abimelech said to Abraham, “What is the meaning of these seven female lambs that you have set by themselves?”
| فَقَالَ أَبِيمَالِكُ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ: «مَاذَا تَقْصِدُ بِهَذِهِ النِّعَاجِ السَّبْعِ الَّتِي فَرَزْتَهَا جَانِباً؟» | ٢٩ |
30 He replied, “These seven female lambs you will receive from my hand, so that it may be a witness for me, that I dug this well.”
| فَأَجَابَ: «هِيَ سَبْعُ نِعَاجٍ أُقَدِّمُهَا لَكَ بِيَدِي شَهَادَةً لِي أَنَّنِي حَفَرْتُ هَذِهِ الْبِئْرَ». | ٣٠ |
31 So he called that place Beersheba, because there they both swore an oath.
| لِذَلِكَ دَعَا ذَلِكَ الْمَكَانَ بِئْرَ سَبْعٍ (وَمَعْنَاهْ بِئْرُ الْحَلْفِ) لأَنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَأَبِيمَالِكَ كِلاهُمَا حَلَفَا هُنَاكَ. | ٣١ |
32 They made a covenant at Beersheba, and then Abimelech and Phicol, the captain of his army, returned to the land of the Philistines.
| وَهَكَذَا قَطَعَا عَهْداً فِي بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ، ثُمَّ نَهَضَ أَبِيمَالِكُ وَفِيكُولُ رَئِيسُ جَيْشِهِ وَرَجَعَا إِلَى أَرْضِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. | ٣٢ |
33 Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba. There he worshiped Yahweh, the eternal God.
| وَغَرَسَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ شَجَرَ أَثْلٍ فِي بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ، وَدَعَا هُنَاكَ بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ الإِلَهِ السَّرْمَدِيِّ | ٣٣ |
34 Abraham remained as a foreigner in the land of the Philistines many days.
| وَمَكَثَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ فِي بِلادِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ فَتْرَةً طَوِيلَةً. | ٣٤ |
