Genesis 12
1 Now Yahweh said to Abram, “Leave your country, and your relatives, and your father’s house, and go to the land that I will show you.
| وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لأَبْرَامَ: «اتْرُكْ أَرْضَكَ وَعَشِيرَتَكَ وَبَيْتَ أَبِيكَ وَاذْهَبْ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أُرِيكَ، | ١ |
2 I will make of you a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great. You will be a blessing.
| فَأَجْعَلَ مِنْكَ أُمَّةً كَبِيرَةً وَأُبَارِكَكَ وَأُعَظِّمَ اسْمَكَ، وَتَكُونَ بَرَكَةً (لِكَثِيرِينَ). | ٢ |
3 I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who treats you with contempt. All the families of the earth will be blessed through you.”
| وَأُبَارِكُ مُبَارِكِيكَ وَأَلْعَنُ لاعِنِيكَ، وَتَتَبَارَكُ فِيكَ جَمِيعُ أُمَمِ الأَرْضِ». | ٣ |
4 So Abram went, as Yahweh had told him. Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-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 Abram took Sarai his wife, Lot his brother’s son, all their possessions that they had gathered, and the people whom they had acquired in Haran, and they went to go into the land of Canaan. They entered into the land of Canaan.
| 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 Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. At that time, Canaanites were in the land.
| فَشَرَعَ أَبْرَامُ يَتَنَقَّلُ فِي الأَرْضِ إِلَى أَنْ بَلَغَ مَوْضِعَ شَكِيمَ إِلَى سَهْلِ مُورَةَ. وَكَانَ الْكَنْعَانِيُّونَ آنَئِذٍ يَقْطُنُونَ تِلْكَ الأَرْضَ. | ٦ |
7 Yahweh appeared to Abram and said, “I will give this land to your offspring.” He built an altar there to Yahweh, who had appeared to him.
| وَظَهَرَ الرَّبُّ لأَبْرَامَ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «سَأُعْطِي هَذِهِ الأَرْضَ لِذُرِّيَّتِكَ». فَبَنَى أَبْرَامُ هُنَاكَ مَذْبَحاً لِلرَّبِّ الَّذِي ظَهَرَ لَهُ. | ٧ |
8 He left from there to go to the mountain on the east of Bethel and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Ai on the east. There he built an altar to Yahweh and called on Yahweh’s name.
| 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 Abram traveled, still going on toward the South.
| ثُمَّ تَابَعَ أَبْرَامُ ارْتِحَالَهُ نَحْوَ الْجَنُوبِ. | ٩ |
10 There was a famine in the land. Abram went down into Egypt to live as a foreigner there, for the famine was severe in the land.
| وَعَمَّتْ تِلْكَ الْبِلادَ مَجَاعَةٌ، فَانْحَدَرَ أَبْرَامُ إِلَى مِصْرَ لِيَتَغَرَّبَ فِيهَا لأَنَّ الْمَجَاعَةَ كَانَتْ شَدِيدَةً فِي الأَرْضِ. | ١٠ |
11 When he had come near to enter Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, “See now, I know that you are a beautiful woman to look at.
| وَمَا إِنِ اقْتَرَبَ مِنْ تُخُومِ مِصْرَ حَتَّى قَالَ لِزَوْجَتِهِ سَارَايَ: «أَنَا أَعْرِفُ أَنَّكِ امْرَأَةٌ جَمِيلَةٌ، | ١١ |
12 It will happen that when the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife.’ They will kill me, but they will save you alive.
| فَمَا إِنْ يَرَاكِ الْمِصْرِيُّونَ حَتَّى يَقُولُوا: هَذِهِ هِيَ زَوْجَتُهُ فَيَقْتُلُونَنِي وَيَسْتَحْيُونَكِ. | ١٢ |
13 Please say that you are my sister, that it may be well with me for your sake, and that my soul may live because of you.”
| لِذَلِكَ قُولِي إِنَّكِ أُخْتِي، فَيُحْسِنُوا مُعَامَلَتِي مِنْ أَجْلِكِ وَتَنْجُوَ حَيَاتِي بِفَضْلِكِ». | ١٣ |
14 When Abram had come into Egypt, some Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.
| وَلَمَّا اقْتَرَبَ أَبْرَامُ مِنْ مِصْرَ اسْتَرْعَى جَمَالُ سَارَايَ أَنْظَارَ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ، | ١٤ |
15 The princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house.
| وَشَاهَدَهَا أَيْضاً رُؤَسَاءُ فِرْعَوْنَ فَأَشَادُوا بِها أَمَامَهُ. فَأُخِذَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ إِلَى بَيْتِ فِرْعَوْنَ. | ١٥ |
16 He dealt well with Abram for her sake. He had sheep, cattle, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels.
| فَأَحْسَنَ إِلَى أَبْرَامَ بِسَبَبِهَا وَأَجْزَلَ لَهُ الْعَطَاءَ مِنَ الْغَنَمِ وَالْبَقَرِ وَالْحَمِيرِ وَالْعَبِيدِ وَالإِمَاءِ وَالأُتُنِ وَالْجِمَالِ. | ١٦ |
17 Yahweh 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 Pharaoh called Abram and said, “What is this that you have done to me? Why didn’t you tell me that she was your wife?
| فَاسْتَدْعَى فِرْعَوْنُ أَبْرَامَ وَسَأَلَهُ: «مَاذَا فَعَلْتَ بِي؟ لِمَاذَا لَمْ تُخْبِرْنِي أَنَّهَا زَوْجَتُكَ؟ | ١٨ |
19 Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her to be my wife? Now therefore, see your wife, take her, and go your way.”
| وَلِمَاذَا ادَّعَيْتَ أَنَّهَا أُخْتُكَ حَتَّى أَخَذْتُهَا لِتَكُونَ زَوْجَةً لِي؟ وَالآنَ هَا هِيَ زَوْجَتُكَ، خُذْهَا وَامْضِ فِي طَرِيقِكَ». | ١٩ |
20 Pharaoh commanded men concerning him, and they escorted him away with his wife and all that he had.
| وَأَوْصَى فِرْعَوْنُ رِجَالَهُ بِأَبْرَامَ، فَشَيَّعُوهُ وَامْرَأَتَهُ وَكُلَّ مَا كَانَ يَمْلِكُ. | ٢٠ |
