< Genesis 12 >

1 Now the LORD had said to Abram, Depart from thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, to a land that I will show thee:
وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لأَبْرَامَ: «اتْرُكْ أَرْضَكَ وَعَشِيرَتَكَ وَبَيْتَ أَبِيكَ وَاذْهَبْ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أُرِيكَ،١
2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
فَأَجْعَلَ مِنْكَ أُمَّةً كَبِيرَةً وَأُبَارِكَكَ وَأُعَظِّمَ اسْمَكَ، وَتَكُونَ بَرَكَةً (لِكَثِيرِينَ).٢
3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
وَأُبَارِكُ مُبَارِكِيكَ وَأَلْعَنُ لاعِنِيكَ، وَتَتَبَارَكُ فِيكَ جَمِيعُ أُمَمِ الأَرْضِ».٣
4 So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken to him, and Lot went with him: and Abram [was] seventy and five years old when he departed from Haran.
فَارْتَحَلَ أَبْرَامُ كَمَا أَمَرَهُ الرَّبُّ، وَرَافَقَهُ لُوطٌ. وَكَانَ أَبْرَامُ فِي الْخَامِسَةِ وَالسَّبْعِينَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ عِنْدَمَا غَادَرَ حَارَانَ.٤
5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went to go forth into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.
وَأَخَذَ أَبْرَامُ سَارَايَ زَوْجَتَهُ وَلُوطاً ابْنَ أَخِيهِ وَكُلَّ مَا جَمَعَاهُ مِنْ مُقْتَنَيَاتٍ وَكُلَّ مَا امْتَلَكَاهُ مِنْ نُفُوسٍ فِي حَارَانَ، وَانْطَلَقُوا جَمِيعاً إِلَى أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ إِلَى أَنْ وَصَلُوهَا.٥
6 And Abram passed through the land to the place of Sichem, to the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite [was] then in the land.
فَشَرَعَ أَبْرَامُ يَتَنَقَّلُ فِي الأَرْضِ إِلَى أَنْ بَلَغَ مَوْضِعَ شَكِيمَ إِلَى سَهْلِ مُورَةَ. وَكَانَ الْكَنْعَانِيُّونَ آنَئِذٍ يَقْطُنُونَ تِلْكَ الأَرْضَ.٦
7 And the LORD appeared to Abram, and said, To thy seed will I give this land: and there he erected an altar to the LORD, who appeared to him.
وَظَهَرَ الرَّبُّ لأَبْرَامَ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «سَأُعْطِي هَذِهِ الأَرْضَ لِذُرِّيَّتِكَ». فَبَنَى أَبْرَامُ هُنَاكَ مَذْبَحاً لِلرَّبِّ الَّذِي ظَهَرَ لَهُ.٧
8 And he removed from thence to a mountain on the east of Beth-el, and pitched his tent, [having] Beth-el on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he erected an altar to the LORD, and called upon the name of the LORD.
وَانْتَقَلَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ إِلَى الْجَبَلِ شَرْقِيَّ بَيْتِ إِيلٍ حَيْثُ نَصَبَ خِيَامَهُ مَا بَيْنَ بَيْتِ إِيلٍ غَرْباً وَعَايَ شَرْقاً وَشَيَّدَ هُنَاكَ مَذْبَحاً لِلرَّبِّ وَدَعَا بِاسْمِهِ.٨
9 And Abram journeyed, going on still towards the south.
ثُمَّ تَابَعَ أَبْرَامُ ارْتِحَالَهُ نَحْوَ الْجَنُوبِ.٩
10 And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to dwell there; for the famine [was] grievous in the land.
وَعَمَّتْ تِلْكَ الْبِلادَ مَجَاعَةٌ، فَانْحَدَرَ أَبْرَامُ إِلَى مِصْرَ لِيَتَغَرَّبَ فِيهَا لأَنَّ الْمَجَاعَةَ كَانَتْ شَدِيدَةً فِي الأَرْضِ.١٠
11 And it came to pass, when he had come near to enter into Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou [art] a fair woman to look upon:
وَمَا إِنِ اقْتَرَبَ مِنْ تُخُومِ مِصْرَ حَتَّى قَالَ لِزَوْجَتِهِ سَارَايَ: «أَنَا أَعْرِفُ أَنَّكِ امْرَأَةٌ جَمِيلَةٌ،١١
12 Therefore it will come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they will say, This [is] his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive.
فَمَا إِنْ يَرَاكِ الْمِصْرِيُّونَ حَتَّى يَقُولُوا: هَذِهِ هِيَ زَوْجَتُهُ فَيَقْتُلُونَنِي وَيَسْتَحْيُونَكِ.١٢
13 Say, I pray thee, thou [art] my sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee.
لِذَلِكَ قُولِي إِنَّكِ أُخْتِي، فَيُحْسِنُوا مُعَامَلَتِي مِنْ أَجْلِكِ وَتَنْجُوَ حَيَاتِي بِفَضْلِكِ».١٣
14 And it came to pass, that when Abram had come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she [was] very fair.
وَلَمَّا اقْتَرَبَ أَبْرَامُ مِنْ مِصْرَ اسْتَرْعَى جَمَالُ سَارَايَ أَنْظَارَ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ،١٤
15 The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.
وَشَاهَدَهَا أَيْضاً رُؤَسَاءُ فِرْعَوْنَ فَأَشَادُوا بِها أَمَامَهُ. فَأُخِذَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ إِلَى بَيْتِ فِرْعَوْنَ.١٥
16 And he treated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he-asses, and men-servants, and maid-servants, and she-asses, and camels.
فَأَحْسَنَ إِلَى أَبْرَامَ بِسَبَبِهَا وَأَجْزَلَ لَهُ الْعَطَاءَ مِنَ الْغَنَمِ وَالْبَقَرِ وَالْحَمِيرِ وَالْعَبِيدِ وَالإِمَاءِ وَالأُتُنِ وَالْجِمَالِ.١٦
17 And the LORD afflicted Pharaoh and his house with great plagues, because of Sarai, Abram's wife.
وَلَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ ابْتَلَى فِرْعَوْنَ وَأَهْلَهُ بِبَلايَا عَظِيمَةٍ بِسَبَبِ سَارَايَ زَوْجَةِ أَبْرَامَ.١٧
18 And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What [is] this [that] thou hast done to me? why didst thou not tell me that she [is] thy wife?
فَاسْتَدْعَى فِرْعَوْنُ أَبْرَامَ وَسَأَلَهُ: «مَاذَا فَعَلْتَ بِي؟ لِمَاذَا لَمْ تُخْبِرْنِي أَنَّهَا زَوْجَتُكَ؟١٨
19 Why saidst thou, She [is] my sister? so I might have taken her to me for a wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take [her], and go thy way.
وَلِمَاذَا ادَّعَيْتَ أَنَّهَا أُخْتُكَ حَتَّى أَخَذْتُهَا لِتَكُونَ زَوْجَةً لِي؟ وَالآنَ هَا هِيَ زَوْجَتُكَ، خُذْهَا وَامْضِ فِي طَرِيقِكَ».١٩
20 And Pharaoh commanded [his] men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
وَأَوْصَى فِرْعَوْنُ رِجَالَهُ بِأَبْرَامَ، فَشَيَّعُوهُ وَامْرَأَتَهُ وَكُلَّ مَا كَانَ يَمْلِكُ.٢٠
