تكوين 21
| وَافْتَقَدَ الرَّبُّ سَارَةَ كَمَا قَالَ، وَأَنْجَزَ لَهَا مَا وَعَدَ بِهِ. | ١ 1 |
The LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did to Sarah as he had spoken.
| فَحَبِلَتْ سَارَةُ وَوَلَدَتْ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ فِي شَيْخُوخَتِهِ ابْناً، فِي الْوَقْتِ الَّذِي عَيَّنَهُ اللهُ لَهُ. | ٢ 2 |
Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
| فَدَعَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ ابْنَهُ الَّذِي أَنْجَبَتْهُ لَهُ سَارَةُ «إِسْحاقَ». | ٣ 3 |
Abraham called his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.
| وَخَتَنَهُ فِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّامِنِ بِمُوجِبِ أَمْرِ اللهِ. | ٤ 4 |
Abraham circumcised his son, Isaac, when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.
| وَكَانَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ قَدْ بَلَغَ الْمِئَةَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ عِنْدَمَا وُلِدَ لَهُ إِسْحاقُ. | ٥ 5 |
Abraham was one hundred years old when his son, Isaac, was born to him.
| وَقَالَتْ سَارَةُ «لَقَدْ أَضْحَكَنِي الرَّبُّ. كُلُّ مَنْ يَسْمَعُ هَذَا الأَمْرَ يَضْحَكُ مَعِي». | ٦ 6 |
Sarah said, “God has made me laugh. Everyone who hears will laugh with me.”
| وَأَضَافَتْ أَيْضاً: «مَنْ كَانَ يُمْكِنُ أَنْ يَقُولَ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّ سَارَةَ سَتُرْضِعُ بَنِينَ؟ فَهَا أَنَا قَدْ أَنْجَبْتُ لَهُ ابْناً فِي شَيْخُوخَتِهِ». | ٧ 7 |
She said, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? For I have borne him a son in his old age.”
| وَكَبُرَ إِسْحاقُ وَفُطِمَ. فَأَقَامَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ فِي يَوْمِ فِطَامِهِ مَأْدُبَةً عَظِيمَةً. | ٨ 8 |
The child grew and was weaned. Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.
| وَرَأَتْ سَارَةُ أَنَّ ابْنَ هَاجَرَ الْمِصْرِيَّةِ الَّذِي أَنْجَبَتْهُ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ يَسْخَرُ مِنِ ابْنِهَا إِسْحاقَ، | ٩ 9 |
Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking.
| فَقَالَتْ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ: «اطْرُدْ هَذِهِ الْجَارِيَةَ وَابْنَهَا، فَإِنَّ ابْنَ الْجَارِيَةِ لَنْ يَرِثَ مَعَ ابْنِي إِسْحاقَ». | ١٠ 10 |
Therefore she said to Abraham, “Cast out this servant and her son! For the son of this servant will not be heir with my son, Isaac.”
| فَقَبُحَ هَذَا الْقَوْلُ فِي نَفْسِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مِنْ أَجْلِ ابْنِهِ. | ١١ 11 |
The thing was very grievous in Abraham’s sight on account of his son.
| 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 12 |
God said to Abraham, “Don’t let it be grievous in your sight because of the boy, and because of your servant. In all that Sarah says to you, listen to her voice. For your offspring will be named through Isaac.
| وَسَأُقِيمُ مِنِ ابْنِ الْجَارِيَةِ أُمَّةً أَيْضاً لأَنَّهُ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِكَ». | ١٣ 13 |
I will also make a nation of the son of the servant, because he is your child.”
| 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 14 |
Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread and a container of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder; and gave her the child, and sent her away. She departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
| وَعِنْدَمَا فَرَغَ الْمَاءُ مِنَ الْقِرْبَةِ طَرَحَتِ الصَّبِيَّ تَحْتَ إِحْدَى الأَشْجَارِ، | ١٥ 15 |
The water in the container was spent, and she put the child under one of the shrubs.
| وَمَضَتْ وَجَلَسَتْ مُقَابِلَهُ، عَلَى بُعْدِ نَحْوِ مِئَةِ مِتْرٍ، لأَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: «لا أَشْهَدُ مَوْتَ الصَّبِيِّ». فَجَلَسَتْ مُقَابِلَهُ وَرَفَعَتْ صَوْتَهَا وَبَكَتْ. | ١٦ 16 |
She went and sat down opposite him, a good way off, about a bow shot away. For she said, “Don’t let me see the death of the child.” She sat opposite him, and lifted up her voice, and wept.
| 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 17 |
God heard the voice of the boy. The angel of God called to Hagar out of the sky, and said to her, “What troubles you, Hagar? Don’t be afraid. For God has heard the voice of the boy where he is.
| قُومِي وَاحْمِلِي الصَّبِيَّ، وَتَشَبَّثِي بِهِ لأَنَّنِي سَأَجْعَلُهُ أُمَّةً عَظِيمَةً». | ١٨ 18 |
Get up, lift up the boy, and hold him with your hand. For I will make him a great nation.”
| ثُمَّ فَتَحَ عَيْنَيْهَا فَأَبْصَرَتْ بِئْرَ مَاءٍ، فَذَهَبَتْ وَمَلأَتِ الْقِرْبَةَ وَسَقَتِ الصَّبِيَّ. | ١٩ 19 |
God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. She went, filled the container with water, and gave the boy a drink.
| وَكَانَ اللهُ مَعَ الصَّبِيِّ فَكَبُرَ، وَسَكَنَ فِي صَحْرَاءِ فَارَانَ، وَبَرَعَ فِي رَمْيِ الْقَوْسِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
God was with the boy, and he grew. He lived in the wilderness, and as he grew up, he became an archer.
| وَاتَّخَذَتْ لَهُ أُمُّهُ زَوْجَةً مِنْ مِصْرَ. | ٢١ 21 |
He lived in the wilderness of Paran. His mother got a wife for him out of the land of Egypt.
| وَفِي ذَلِكَ الزَّمَانِ خَاطَبَ أَبِيمَالِكُ وَفِيكُولُ قَائِدُ جَيْشِهِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَائِلَيْنِ: «إِنَّ اللهَ مَعَكَ فِي كُلِّ مَا تَقُومُ بِهِ، | ٢٢ 22 |
At that time, Abimelech and Phicol the captain of his army spoke to Abraham, saying, “God is with you in all that you do.
| فَاحْلِفْ لِي الآنَ بِاللهِ أَنْ لَا تَغْدُرَ بِي وَلا بِنَسْلِي وَذُرِّيَّتِي، بَلْ تُحْسِنَ إِلَيَّ وَإِلَى شَعْبِي الَّذِي تَغَرَّبْتَ بَيْنَهُ، كَمَا أَحْسَنْتُ إِلَيْكَ». | ٢٣ 23 |
Now, therefore, swear to me here by God that you will not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son’s son. But according to the kindness that I have done to you, you shall do to me, and to the land in which you have lived as a foreigner.”
| فَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ: «أَحْلِفُ». | ٢٤ 24 |
Abraham said, “I will swear.”
| وَعَاتَبَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ أَبِيمَالِكَ مِنْ أَجْلِ الْبِئْرِ الَّتِي اغْتَصَبَهَا عَبِيدُ أَبِيمَالِكَ، | ٢٥ 25 |
Abraham complained to Abimelech because of a water well, which Abimelech’s servants had violently taken away.
| فَقَالَ أَبِيمَالِكُ: «لَسْتُ أَعْلَمُ مَنِ ارْتَكَبَ هَذَا الأَمْرَ، وَأَنْتَ لَمْ تُخْبِرْنِي بِهِ، وَلَمْ أَسْمَعْ عَنْهُ سِوَى الْيَوْمِ». | ٢٦ 26 |
Abimelech said, “I don’t know who has done this thing. You didn’t tell me, and I didn’t hear of it until today.”
| ثُمَّ أَعْطَى إِبْرَاهِيمُ أَبِيمَالِكَ غَنَماً وَبَقَراً وَقَطَعَ كِلاهُمَا عَهْداً. | ٢٧ 27 |
Abraham took sheep and cattle, and gave them to Abimelech. Those two made a covenant.
| وَفَرَزَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ سَبْعَ نِعَاجٍ مِنَ الْغَنَمِ وَحْدَهَا. | ٢٨ 28 |
Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
| فَقَالَ أَبِيمَالِكُ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ: «مَاذَا تَقْصِدُ بِهَذِهِ النِّعَاجِ السَّبْعِ الَّتِي فَرَزْتَهَا جَانِباً؟» | ٢٩ 29 |
Abimelech said to Abraham, “What do these seven ewe lambs, which you have set by themselves, mean?”
| فَأَجَابَ: «هِيَ سَبْعُ نِعَاجٍ أُقَدِّمُهَا لَكَ بِيَدِي شَهَادَةً لِي أَنَّنِي حَفَرْتُ هَذِهِ الْبِئْرَ». | ٣٠ 30 |
He said, “You shall take these seven ewe lambs from my hand, that it may be a witness to me, that I have dug this well.”
| لِذَلِكَ دَعَا ذَلِكَ الْمَكَانَ بِئْرَ سَبْعٍ (وَمَعْنَاهْ بِئْرُ الْحَلْفِ) لأَنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَأَبِيمَالِكَ كِلاهُمَا حَلَفَا هُنَاكَ. | ٣١ 31 |
Therefore he called that place Beersheba, because they both swore an oath there.
| وَهَكَذَا قَطَعَا عَهْداً فِي بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ، ثُمَّ نَهَضَ أَبِيمَالِكُ وَفِيكُولُ رَئِيسُ جَيْشِهِ وَرَجَعَا إِلَى أَرْضِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. | ٣٢ 32 |
So they made a covenant at Beersheba. Abimelech rose up with Phicol, the captain of his army, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.
| وَغَرَسَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ شَجَرَ أَثْلٍ فِي بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ، وَدَعَا هُنَاكَ بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ الإِلَهِ السَّرْمَدِيِّ | ٣٣ 33 |
Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there he called on the name of the LORD, the Everlasting God.
| وَمَكَثَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ فِي بِلادِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ فَتْرَةً طَوِيلَةً. | ٣٤ 34 |
Abraham lived as a foreigner in the land of the Philistines many days.
