إبراهيم وسارة وأبيمالك | |
| 1 وَانْتَقَلَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ مِنْ هُنَاكَ إِلَى أَرْضِ الْجَنُوبِ، وَسَكَنَ بَيْنَ قَادِشَ وَشُورَ، وَتَغَرَّبَ فِي جَرَارَ. | 1 And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country, and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar. |
|
| 2 وَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَنْ سَارَةَ امْرَأَتِهِ: «هِيَ أُخْتِي». فَأَرْسَلَ أَبِيمَالِكُ مَلِكُ جَرَارَ وَأَخَذَ سَارَةَ. | 2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah. |
|
| 3 فَجَاءَ اللهُ إِلَى أَبِيمَالِكَ فِي حُلْمِ اللَّيْلِ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «هَا أَنْتَ مَيِّتٌ مِنْ أَجْلِ الْمَرْأَةِ الَّتِي أَخَذْتَهَا، فَإِنَّهَا مُتَزَوِّجَةٌ بِبَعْل». | 3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she is a man's wife. |
|
| 4 وَلكِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَبِيمَالِكُ قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ إِلَيْهَا، فَقَالَ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، أَأُمَّةً بَارَّةً تَقْتُلُ؟ | 4 But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, LORD, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation? |
|
| 5 أَلَمْ يَقُلْ هُوَ لِي: إِنَّهَا أُخْتِي، وَهِيَ أَيْضًا نَفْسُهَا قَالَتْ: هُوَ أَخِي؟ بِسَلاَمَةِ قَلْبِي وَنَقَاوَةِ يَدَيَّ فَعَلْتُ هذَا». | 5 Said he not unto me, She is my sister? and she, even she herself said, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart and innocency of my hands have I done this. |
|
| 6 فَقَالَ لَهُ اللهُ فِي الْحُلْمِ: «أَنَا أَيْضًا عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكَ بِسَلاَمَةِ قَلْبِكَ فَعَلْتَ هذَا. وَأَنَا أَيْضًا أَمْسَكْتُكَ عَنْ أَنْ تُخْطِئَ إِلَيَّ، لِذلِكَ لَمْ أَدَعْكَ تَمَسُّهَا. | 6 And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her. |
|
| 7 فَالآنَ رُدَّ امْرَأَةَ الرَّجُلِ، فَإِنَّهُ نَبِيٌّ، فَيُصَلِّيَ لأَجْلِكَ فَتَحْيَا. وَإِنْ كُنْتَ لَسْتَ تَرُدُّهَا، فَاعْلَمْ أَنَّكَ مَوْتًا تَمُوتُ، أَنْتَ وَكُلُّ مَنْ لَكَ. | 7 Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine. |
|
| 8 فَبَكَّرَ أَبِيمَالِكُ فِي الْغَدِ وَدَعَا جَمِيعَ عَبِيدِهِ، وَتَكَلَّمَ بِكُلِّ هذَا الْكَلاَمِ فِي مَسَامِعِهِمْ، فَخَافَ الرِّجَالُ جِدًّا. | 8 Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men were sore afraid. |
|
| 9 ثُمَّ دَعَا أَبِيمَالِكُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «مَاذَا فَعَلْتَ بِنَا؟ وَبِمَاذَا أَخْطَأْتُ إِلَيْكَ حَتَّى جَلَبْتَ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَى مَمْلَكَتِي خَطِيَّةً عَظِيمَةً؟ أَعْمَالاً لاَ تُعْمَلُ عَمِلْتَ بِي». | 9 Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast thou done unto us? and what have I offended thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done deeds unto me that ought not to be done. |
|
| 10 وَقَالَ أَبِيمَالِكُ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ: «مَاذَا رَأَيْتَ حَتَّى عَمِلْتَ هذَا الشَّيْءَ؟» | 10 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing? |
|
| 11 فَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ: «إِنِّي قُلْتُ: لَيْسَ فِي هذَا الْمَوْضِعِ خَوْفُ اللهِ الْبَتَّةَ، فَيَقْتُلُونَنِي لأَجْلِ امْرَأَتِي. | 11 And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife's sake. |
|
| 12 وَبِالْحَقِيقَةِ أَيْضًا هِيَ أُخْتِي ابْنَةُ أَبِي، غَيْرَ أَنَّهَا لَيْسَتِ ابْنَةَ أُمِّي، فَصَارَتْ لِي زَوْجَةً. | 12 And yet indeed she is my sister; she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife. |
|
| 13 وَحَدَثَ لَمَّا أَتَاهَنِي اللهُ مِنْ بَيْتِ أَبِي أَنِّي قُلْتُ لَهَا: «هذَا مَعْرُوفُكِ الَّذِي تَصْنَعِينَ إِلَيَّ: فِي كُلِّ مَكَانٍ نَأْتِي إِلَيْهِ قُولِي عَنِّي: هُوَ أَخِي». | 13 And it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said unto her, This is thy kindness which thou shalt show unto me; at every place whither we shall come, say of me, He is my brother. |
|
| 14 فَأَخَذَ أَبِيمَالِكُ غَنَمًا وَبَقَرًا وَعَبِيدًا وَإِمَاءً وَأَعْطَاهَا لإِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَرَدَّ إِلَيْهِ سَارَةَ امْرَأَتَهُ. | 14 And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and womenservants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife. |
|
| 15 وَقَالَ أَبِيمَالِكُ: «هُوَذَا أَرْضِي قُدَّامَكَ. اسْكُنْ فِي مَا حَسُنَ فِي عَيْنَيْكَ». | 15 And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee. |
|
| 16 وَقَالَ لِسَارَةَ: «إِنِّي قَدْ أَعْطَيْتُ أَخَاكِ أَلْفًا مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ. هَا هُوَ لَكِ غِطَاءُ عَيْنٍ مِنْ جِهَةِ كُلِّ مَا عِنْدَكِ وَعِنْدَ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ، فَأُنْصِفْتِ». | 16 And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver: behold, he is to thee a covering of the eyes, unto all that are with thee, and with all other: thus she was reproved. |
|
| 17 فَصَلَّى إِبْرَاهِيمُ إِلَى اللهِ، فَشَفَى اللهُ أَبِيمَالِكَ وَامْرَأَتَهُ وَجَوَارِيَهُ فَوَلَدْنَ. | 17 So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children. |
|
| 18 لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ كَانَ قَدْ أَغْلَقَ كُلَّ رَحِمٍ لِبَيْتِ أَبِيمَالِكَ بِسَبَبِ سَارَةَ امْرَأَةِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ. | 18 For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham's wife. |
