Genesis 18
1 And the LORD appeared to him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;
| ثُمَّ ظَهَرَ الرَّبُّ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ عِنْدَ بَلُّوطَاتِ مَمْرَا وَقْتَ اشْتِدَادِ حَرِّ النَّهَارِ، | ١ |
2 And he lifted up his eyes and looked, and lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw [them], he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,
| فَرَفَعَ عَيْنَيْهِ وَإذَا بِهِ يَرَى ثَلاثَةَ رِجَالٍ مَاثِلِينَ لَدَيْهِ. فَأَسْرَعَ لاسْتِقْبَالِهِمْ مِنْ بَابِ الْخَيْمَةِ وَسَجَدَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ. | ٢ |
3 And said, My Lord, if now I have found favor in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:
| وَقَالَ: «يَا سَيِّدِي، إِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ حَظِيْتُ بِرِضَاكَ فَلا تَعْبُرْ عَنْ عَبْدِكَ. | ٣ |
4 Let a little water, I pray you, be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:
| بَلْ دَعْنِي أُقَدِّمُ لَكُمْ بَعْضَ مَاءٍ تَغْسِلُونَ بِهِ أَرْجُلَكُمْ وَتَتَّكِئُونَ تَحْتَ الشَّجَرَةِ، | ٤ |
5 And I will bring a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that you shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said.
| ثُمَّ آتِي لَكُمْ بِلُقْمَةِ خُبْزٍ تُسْنِدُونَ بِها قُلُوبَكُمْ، وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ تُوَاصِلُونَ مَسِيرَتَكُمْ، لأَنَّكُمْ قَدْ مِلْتُمْ إِلَى بَيْتِ عَبْدِكُمْ». فَأَجَابُوهُ: «حَسَناً، لِيَكُنْ كَمَا قُلْتَ». | ٥ |
6 And Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead [it], and make cakes upon the hearth.
| فَأَسْرَعَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ إِلَى دَاخِلِ الْخَيْمَةِ إِلَى زَوْجَتِهِ سَارَةَ وَقَالَ: «هَيَّا أَسْرِعِي وَاعْجِنِي ثَلاثَ كَيْلاتٍ مِنْ أَفْضَلِ الدَّقِيقِ وَاخْبِزِيهَا». | ٦ |
7 And Abraham ran to the herd, and brought a calf tender and good, and gave [it] to a young man; and he hasted to dress it.
| ثُمَّ أَسْرَعَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ نَحْوَ قَطِيعِهِ وَاخْتَارَ عِجْلاً غَضّاً مُسَمَّناً وَأَعْطَاهُ لِغُلامٍ كَيْ يُجَهِّزَهُ. | ٧ |
8 And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set [it] before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they ate.
| ثُمَّ أَخَذَ زُبْداً وَلَبَناً وَالْعِجْلَ الَّذِي طَبَخَهُ، وَمَدَّهَا أَمَامَهُمْ، وَبَقِيَ وَاقِفاً فِي خِدْمَتِهِمْ تَحْتَ الشَّجَرَةِ وَهُمْ يَأْكُلُونَ. | ٨ |
9 And they said to him, Where [is] Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.
| ثُمَّ سَأَلُوهُ: «أَيْنَ زَوْجَتُكَ؟» فَأَجَابَ: «هَا هِيَ فِي الْخَيْمَةِ». | ٩ |
10 And he said, I will certainly return to thee according to the time of life; and lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard [it] in the tent door, which [was] behind him.
| فَقَالَ: «إِنِّي أَرْجِعُ إِلَيْكَ فِي مِثْلِ هَذَا الْوَقْتِ مِنَ السَّنَةِ الْقَادِمَةِ فَتَكُونُ سَارَةُ آنَئِذٍ قَدْ وَلَدَتْ لَكَ ابْناً». وَكَانَتْ سَارَةُ وَرَاءَهُ، عِنْدَ بَابِ الْخَيْمَةِ، فَسَمِعَتْ حَدِيثَهُ. | ١٠ |
11 Now Abraham and Sarah [were] old [and] far advanced in age; [and] it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
| وَكَانَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَسَارَةُ عَجُوزَيْنِ طَاعِنَيْنِ جِدّاً فِي السِّنِّ وَقَدْ تَجَاوَزَتْ سَارَةُ سِنَّ الْيَأْسِ. | ١١ |
12 Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am become old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?
| فَضَحِكَتْ سَارَةُ فِي نَفْسِهَا قَائِلَةً: «أَبَعْدَ أَنْ فَنِيَ عُمْرِي وَأَصْبَحَ زَوْجِي شَيْخاً يَكُونُ لِي هَذَا التَّنَعُّمُ؟» | ١٢ |
13 And the LORD said to Abraham, Why did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I certainly bear a child, who am old?
| فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ: «لِمَاذَا ضَحِكَتْ سَارَةُ قَائِلَةً: أَحَقّاً أَلِدُ ابْناً وَقَدْ بَلَغْتُ سِنَّ الشَّيْخُوخَةِ؟ | ١٣ |
14 Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return to thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.
| أَيَتَعَذَّرُ عَلَى الرَّبِّ شَيْءٌ؟ سَأَرْجِعُ إِلَيْكَ فِي مِثْلِ هَذَا الْوَقْتِ مِنَ السَّنَةِ الْقَادِمَةِ فَتَكُونُ سَارَةُ قَدْ أَنْجَبَتِ ابْناً». | ١٤ |
15 Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.
| فَخَافَتْ سَارَةُ وَأَنْكَرَتْ قَائِلَةً: «لَمْ أَضْحَكْ». فَقَالَ: «لا، بَلْ ضَحِكْتِ». | ١٥ |
16 And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
| ثُمَّ نَهَضَ الرِّجَالُ وَتَطَلَّعُوا نَحْوَ سَدُومَ. فَمَشَى إِبْرَاهِيمُ مَعَهُمْ لِيُوَدِّعَهُمْ. | ١٦ |
17 And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;
| فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ: «أَأَكْتُمُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مَا أَنَا فَاعِلُهُ؟ | ١٧ |
18 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
| وَإِبْرَاهِيمُ لابُدَّ أَنْ يُصْبِحَ أُمَّةً كَبِيرَةً وَقَوِيَّةً، وَبِهِ تَتَبَارَكُ شُعُوبُ الأَرْضِ جَمِيعاً، | ١٨ |
19 For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they will keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.
| لأَنَّنِي قَدِ اخْتَرْتُهُ لِيُوْصِيَ بَنِيهِ وَأَهْلَ بَيْتِهِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ كَيْ يَحْفَظُوا طَرِيقَ الرَّبِّ، عَامِلِينَ الْبِرَّ وَالْعَدْلَ، حَتَّى يُنْجِزَ الرَّبُّ مَا وَعَدَ بِهِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ». | ١٩ |
20 And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;
| وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ: «لأَنَّ الشَّكْوَى ضِدَّ مَظَالِمِ سَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ قَدْ كَثُرَتْ وَخَطِيئَتُهُمْ قَدْ عَظُمَتْ جِدّاً | ٢٠ |
21 I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come to me; and if not, I will know.
| أَنْزِلُ لأَرَى إِنْ كَانَتْ أَعْمَالُهُمْ مُطَابِقَةً لِلشَّكْوَى ضِدَّهُمْ وَإلَّا فَأَعْلَمُ». | ٢١ |
22 And the men turned their faces from thence, and went towards Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
| وَانْطَلَقَ الرَّجُلانِ مِنْ هُنَاكَ نَحْوَ سَدُومَ، وَبَقِيَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ مَاثِلاً أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ. | ٢٢ |
23 And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
| فَاقْتَرَبَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَقَالَ: «أَتُهْلِكُ الْبَارَّ مَعَ الأَثِيمِ؟ | ٢٣ |
24 Peradventure there are fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that [are] in it?
| لَوْ وُجِدَ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ خَمْسُونَ بَارّاً، فَهَلْ تُدَمِّرُهَا وَلا تَصْفَحُ عَنْهَا مِنْ أَجْلِ الْخَمْسِينَ بَارّاً الَّذِينَ فِيهَا؟ | ٢٤ |
25 That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
| تَنَزَّهْتَ عَنْ أَنْ تُهْلِكَ الْبَارَّ مَعَ الأَثِيمِ، فَيَكُونُ الْبَارُّ كَالأَثِيمِ؛ حَاشَا لَكَ. أَدَيَّانُ الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا لَا يُجْرِي عَدْلاً؟» | ٢٥ |
26 And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.
| فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ: «إِنْ وَجَدْتُ فِي سَدُومَ خَمْسِينَ بَارّاً فَإِنَّنِي أَصْفَحُ عَنِ الْمَكَانِ كُلِّهِ مِنْ أَجْلِهِمْ». | ٢٦ |
27 And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I, who [am] dust and ashes, have taken upon me to speak to the LORD.
| فَأَجَابَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ: «هَا أَنَا قَدْ أَخَذْتُ فِي مُخَاطَبَةِ الْمَوْلَى، مَعَ أَنَّنِي لَسْتُ سِوَى تُرَابٍ وَرَمَادٍ. | ٢٧ |
28 Peradventure there will lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for [lack of] five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy [it].
| مَاذَا لَوْ نَقَصَ الْخَمْسُونَ بَارّاً خَمْسَةً؟ أَفَتُهْلِكُ الْمَدِينَةَ كُلَّهَا مِنْ أَجْلِ الْخَمْسَةِ؟» فَأَجَابَهُ: «إِنْ وَجَدْتُ خَمْسَةً وَأَرْبَعِينَ بَارّاً لَا أُهْلِكُهَا». | ٢٨ |
29 And he spoke to him yet again, and said, Peradventure there will be forty found there. And he said, I will not do [it] for forty's sake.
| فَخَاطَبَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ ثَانِيَةً: «وَمَاذَا لَوْ وُجِدَ هُنَاكَ أَرْبَعُونَ بَارّاً فَقَطْ؟». فَأَجَابَهُ: «لا أُهْلِكُهَا مِنْ أَجْلِ الأَرْبَعِينَ». | ٢٩ |
30 And he said, Oh, let not the LORD be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there will thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do [it], if I find thirty there.
| وَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ: «لا يَغْضَبِ الْمَوْلَى، بَلْ دَعْنِي أَتَكَلَّمُ. مَاذَا لَوْ وُجِدَ هُنَاكَ ثَلاثُونَ بَارّاً؟». فَأَجَابَهُ: «لا أُهْلِكُهَا إِنْ وَجَدْتُ ثَلاثِينَ». | ٣٠ |
31 And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak to the LORD: Peradventure there will be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy [it] for twenty's sake.
| وَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ: «هَا أَنَا قَدِ اسْتَرْسَلْتُ فِي الْكَلامِ أَمَامَ الْمَوْلَى، فَمَاذَا لَوْ وَجَدْتَ هُنَاكَ عِشْرِينَ بَارّاً؟» فَقَالَ: «لا أُهْلِكُهَا مِنْ أَجْلِ الْعِشْرِينَ». | ٣١ |
32 And he said, Oh let not the LORD be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten will be found there. And he said, I will not destroy [it] for ten's sake.
| وَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ: «لا يَغْضَبِ الْمَوْلَى، فَأَتَكَلَّمَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى: مَاذَا لَوْ وُجِدَ هُنَاكَ عَشَرَةٌ؟». فَأَجَابَهُ الرَّبُّ: «لا أُهْلِكُهَا مِنْ أَجْلِ الْعَشَرَةِ». | ٣٢ |
33 And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned to his place.
| وَعِنْدَمَا فَرَغَ الرَّبُّ مِنْ مُحَادَثَةِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مَضَى، وَرَجَعَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ إِلَى مَكَانِهِ. | ٣٣ |
