Genesis 22

1 Some time later God tested Abraham and said to him, “Abraham!” “Here I am,” he answered.

1 وَحَدَثَ بَعْدَ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ أَنَّ ٱللهَ ٱمْتَحَنَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: «يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ!». فَقَالَ: «هَأَنَذَا».

2 “Take your son,” God said, “your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains, which I will show you.”

2 فَقَالَ: «خُذِ ٱبْنَكَ وَحِيدَكَ، ٱلَّذِي تُحِبُّهُ، إِسْحَاقَ، وَٱذْهَبْ إِلَى أَرْضِ ٱلْمُرِيَّا، وَأَصْعِدْهُ هُنَاكَ مُحْرَقَةً عَلَى أَحَدِ ٱلْجِبَالِ ٱلَّذِي أَقُولُ لَكَ».

3 So Abraham got up early the next morning, saddled his donkey, and took along two of his servants and his son Isaac. He split the wood for a burnt offering and set out for the place God had designated.

3 فَبَكَّرَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ صَبَاحًا وَشَدَّ عَلَى حِمَارِهِ، وَأَخَذَ ٱثْنَيْنِ مِنْ غِلْمَانِهِ مَعَهُ، وَإِسْحَاقَ ٱبْنَهُ، وَشَقَّقَ حَطَبًا لِمُحْرَقَةٍ، وَقَامَ وَذَهَبَ إِلَى ٱلْمَوْضِعِ ٱلَّذِي قَالَ لَهُ ٱللهُ.

4 On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance.

4 وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ رَفَعَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَيْنَيْهِ وَأَبْصَرَ ٱلْمَوْضِعَ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ،

5 “Stay here with the donkey,” Abraham told his servants. “The boy and I will go over there to worship, and then we will return to you.”

5 فَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ لِغُلَامَيْهِ: «ٱجْلِسَا أَنْتُمَا هَهُنَا مَعَ ٱلْحِمَارِ، وَأَمَّا أَنَا وَٱلْغُلَامُ فَنَذْهَبُ إِلَى هُنَاكَ وَنَسْجُدُ، ثُمَّ نَرْجِعُ إِلَيْكُمَا».

6 Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac. He himself carried the fire and the sacrificial knife, and the two of them walked on together.

6 فَأَخَذَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ حَطَبَ ٱلْمُحْرَقَةِ وَوَضَعَهُ عَلَى إِسْحَاقَ ٱبْنِهِ، وَأَخَذَ بِيَدِهِ ٱلنَّارَ وَٱلسِّكِّينَ. فَذَهَبَا كِلَاهُمَا مَعًا.

7 Then Isaac said to his father Abraham, “My father!” “Here I am, my son,” he replied. “The fire and the wood are here,” said Isaac, “but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”

7 وَكَلَّمَ إِسْحَاقُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَبِاهُ وَقَالَ: «يَا أَبِي!». فَقَالَ: «هَأَنَذَا يَا ٱبْنِي». فَقَالَ: «هُوَذَا ٱلنَّارُ وَٱلْحَطَبُ، وَلَكِنْ أَيْنَ ٱلْخَرُوفُ لِلْمُحْرَقَةِ؟».

8 Abraham answered, “God Himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” And the two walked on together.

8 فَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ: «ٱللهُ يَرَى لَهُ ٱلْخَرُوفَ لِلْمُحْرَقَةِ يَا ٱبْنِي». فَذَهَبَا كِلَاهُمَا مَعًا.

9 When they arrived at the place God had designated, Abraham built the altar there and arranged the wood. He bound his son Isaac and placed him on the altar, atop the wood.

9 فَلَمَّا أَتَيَا إِلَى ٱلْمَوْضِعِ ٱلَّذِي قَالَ لَهُ ٱللهُ، بَنَى هُنَاكَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ ٱلْمَذْبَحَ وَرَتَّبَ ٱلْحَطَبَ وَرَبَطَ إِسْحَاقَ ٱبْنَهُ وَوَضَعَهُ عَلَى ٱلْمَذْبَحِ فَوْقَ ٱلْحَطَبِ.

10 Then Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to slaughter his son.

10 ثُمَّ مَدَّ إِبْرَاهِيمُ يَدَهُ وَأَخَذَ ٱلسِّكِّينَ لِيَذْبَحَ ٱبْنَهُ.

11 Just then the angel of the LORD called out to him from heaven, “Abraham, Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied.

11 فَنَادَاهُ مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَقَالَ: «إِبْرَاهِيمُ! إِبْرَاهِيمُ!». فَقَالَ: «هَأَنَذَا».

12 “Do not lay a hand on the boy or do anything to him,” said the angel, “for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your only son from me.”

12 فَقَالَ: «لَا تَمُدَّ يَدَكَ إِلَى ٱلْغُلَامِ وَلَا تَفْعَلْ بِهِ شَيْئًا، لِأَنِّي ٱلْآنَ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكَ خَائِفٌ ٱللهَ، فَلَمْ تُمْسِكِ ٱبْنَكَ وَحِيدَكَ عَنِّي».

13 Then Abraham looked up and saw behind him a ram in a thicket, caught by its horns. So he went and took the ram and offered it as a burnt offering in place of his son.

13 فَرَفَعَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَيْنَيْهِ وَنَظَرَ وَإِذَا كَبْشٌ وَرَاءَهُ مُمْسَكًا فِي ٱلْغَابَةِ بِقَرْنَيْهِ، فَذَهَبَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَأَخَذَ ٱلْكَبْشَ وَأَصْعَدَهُ مُحْرَقَةً عِوَضًا عَنِ ٱبْنِهِ.

14 And Abraham called that place The LORD Will Provide. So to this day it is said, “On the mountain of the LORD it will be provided.”

14 فَدَعَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ ٱسْمَ ذَلِكَ ٱلْمَوْضِعِ «يَهْوَهْ يِرْأَهْ». حَتَّى إِنَّهُ يُقَالُ ٱلْيَوْمَ: «فِي جَبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ يُرَى».

15 And the angel of the LORD called to Abraham from heaven a second time,

15 وَنَادَى مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ثَانِيَةً مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ

16 saying, “By Myself I have sworn, declares the LORD, that because you have done this and have not withheld your only son,

16 وَقَالَ: «بِذَاتِي أَقْسَمْتُ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، أَنِّي مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّكَ فَعَلْتَ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ، وَلَمْ تُمْسِكِ ٱبْنَكَ وَحِيدَكَ،

17 I will surely bless you, and I will multiply your descendants like the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will possess the gates of their enemies.

17 أُبَارِكُكَ مُبَارَكَةً، وَأُكَثِّرُ نَسْلَكَ تَكْثِيرًا كَنُجُومِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَكَالرَّمْلِ ٱلَّذِي عَلَى شَاطِئِ ٱلْبَحْرِ، وَيَرِثُ نَسْلُكَ بَابَ أَعْدَائِهِ،

18 And through your offspring all nations of the earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.”

18 وَيَتَبَارَكُ فِي نَسْلِكَ جَمِيعُ أُمَمِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّكَ سَمِعْتَ لِقَوْلِي».

19 Abraham went back to his servants, and they got up and set out together for Beersheba. And Abraham settled in Beersheba.

19 ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ إِلَى غُلَامَيْهِ، فَقَامُوا وَذَهَبُوا مَعًا إِلَى بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ. وَسَكَنَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ فِي بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ.

20 Some time later, Abraham was told, “Milcah has also borne sons to your brother Nahor:

20 وَحَدَثَ بَعْدَ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ أَنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أُخْبِرَ وَقِيلَ لَهُ: «هُوَذَا مِلْكَةُ قَدْ وَلَدَتْ هِيَ أَيْضًا بَنِينَ لِنَاحُورَ أَخِيكَ:

21 Uz the firstborn, his brother Buz, Kemuel (the father of Aram),

21 عُوصًا بِكْرَهُ، وَبُوزًا أَخَاهُ، وَقَمُوئِيلَ أَبَا أَرَامَ،

22 Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.”

22 وَكَاسَدَ وَحَزْوًا وَفِلْدَاشَ وَيِدْلَافَ وَبَتُوئِيلَ».

23 And Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. Milcah bore these eight sons to Abraham’s brother Nahor.

23 وَوَلَدَ بَتُوئِيلُ رِفْقَةَ. هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلثَّمَانِيَةُ وَلَدَتْهُمْ مِلْكَةُ لِنَاحُورَ أَخِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ.

24 Moreover, Nahor’s concubine, whose name was Reumah, bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.

24 وَأَمَّا سُرِّيَّتُهُ، وَٱسْمُهَا رَؤُومَةُ، فَوَلَدَتْ هِيَ أَيْضًا: طَابَحَ وَجَاحَمَ وَتَاحَشَ وَمَعْكَةَ.
