Genesis 15
1 After these things the LORD’s word came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Don’t be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly 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 GOD, what will you give me, since I go childless, and he who will inherit my estate 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, “Behold, you have given no children to me: and, behold, one born in my house is my heir.”
| وَقَالَ أَبْرَامُ أَيْضاً: «إِنَّكَ لَمْ تُعْطِنِي نَسْلاً، وَهَا هُوَ عَبْدٌ مَوْلُودٌ فِي بَيْتِي يَكُونُ وَارِثِي» | ٣ |
4 Behold, the LORD’s word came to him, saying, “This man will not be your heir, but he who will come out of your own body will be your heir.”
| فَأَجَابَهُ الرَّبُّ: «لَنْ يَكُونَ هَذَا لَكَ وَرِيثاً، بَلِ الَّذِي يَخْرُجُ مِنْ صُلْبِكَ يَكُونُ وَرِيثَكَ». | ٤ |
5 The LORD brought him outside, and said, “Look now towards the sky, and count the stars, if you are able to count them.” He said to Abram, “So your offspring will be.”
| وَأَخْرَجَهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَى الْخَارِجِ وَقَالَ: «انْظُرْ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَعُدَّ النُّجُومَ إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ ذَلِكَ». ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ: «هَكَذَا يَكُونُ نَسْلُكَ». | ٥ |
6 He believed in the LORD, who credited it to him for righteousness.
| فَآمَنَ بِالرَّبِّ فَحَسَبَهُ لَهُ بِرّاً، | ٦ |
7 He said to Abram, “I am the LORD who brought you out of Ur-Kasdim, 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 GOD, how will I know that I will inherit it?”
| فَسَأَلَ: «كَيْفَ أَعْلَمُ أَنِّي أَرِثُهَا؟» | ٨ |
9 He said to him, “Bring me a heifer three years old, a female goat three years old, a ram three years old, a turtledove, 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 divided them in the middle, and laid each half opposite the other; but he didn’t 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 The birds of prey came down on the carcasses, and Abram drove them away.
| وَعِنْدَمَا أَخَذَتِ الطُّيُورُ الْجَارِحَةُ تَنْقَضُّ عَلَى الْجُثَثِ زَجَرَهَا أَبْرَامُ. | ١١ |
12 When the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell on Abram. Now terror and great darkness fell on him.
| وَلَمَّا مَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ إِلَى الْمَغِيبِ غَرِقَ أَبْرَامُ فِي نَوْمٍ عَمِيقٍ، وَإذَا بِظُلْمَةٍ مُخِيفَةٍ وَمُتَكَاثِفَةٍ تَكْتَنِفُهُ. | ١٢ |
13 He said to Abram, “Know for sure that your offspring will live as foreigners in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them. They will afflict them four hundred years.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّبُّ: «تَيَقَّنْ أَنَّ نَسْلَكَ سَيَتَغَرَّبُ فِي أَرْضٍ لَيْسَتْ لَهُمْ، فَيَسْتَعْبِدُهُمْ أَهْلُهَا وَيُذِلُّونَهُمْ أَرْبَعَ مِئَةِ سَنَةٍ. | ١٣ |
14 I will also judge that nation, whom they will serve. Afterward they will come out with great wealth;
| وَلَكِنَّنِي سَأَدِينُ تِلْكَ الأُمَّةَ الَّتِي اسْتَعْبَدَتْهُمْ، ثُمَّ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ يَخْرُجُونَ بِأَمْوَالٍ طَائِلَةٍ. | ١٤ |
15 but you will go to your fathers in peace. You will be buried at 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 Amorite is not yet full.”
| أَمَّا هُمْ فَسَيَرْجِعُونَ بَعْدَ أَرْبَعَةِ أَجْيَالٍ إِلَى هُنَا، لأَنَّ إِثْمَ الأَمُورِيِّينَ لَمْ يَكْتَمِلْ بَعْدُ». | ١٦ |
17 It came to pass that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold, a smoking furnace and a flaming torch passed between these pieces.
| وَعِنْدَمَا غَرَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَخَيَّمَ الظَّلامُ (ظَهَرَ) تَنُّورُ دُخَانٍ وَمِشْعَلُ نَارٍ يَجْتَازُ بَيْنَ تِلْكَ الْقِطَعِ. | ١٧ |
18 In that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, “I have given this land to your offspring, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river 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 land of the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites,
| أَرْضَ الْقَيْنِيِّينَ وَالْقَنِزِّيِّينَ، وَالْقَدْمُونِيِّينَ | ١٩ |
20 the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim,
| وَالْحِثِّيِّينَ وَالْفَرِزِّيِّينَ وَالرَّفَائِيِّينَ | ٢٠ |
21 the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.”
| وَالأَمُورِيِّينَ وَالْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ وَالْجِرْجَاشِيِّينَ وَالْيَبُوسِيِّينَ». | ٢١ |
