Genesi (تكوين) 20

SMITH VAN DYKE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 وانتقل ابراهيم من هناك الى ارض الجنوب وسكن بين قادش وشور وتغرب في جرار.	1 Abraham advanced from there into the southern land, and he lived between Kadesh and Shur. And he sojourned in Gerar.
2 وقال ابراهيم عن سارة امراته هي اختي. فارسل ابيمالك ملك جرار واخذ سارة.	2 And he said about his wife Sarah: “She is my sister.” Therefore, Abimelech, the king of Gerar, sent for her and took her.
3 فجاء الله الى ابيمالك في حلم الليل وقال له ها انت ميّت من اجل المرأة التي اخذتها فانها متزوجة ببعل.	3 Then God came to Abimelech through a dream in the night, and he said to him: “Lo, you shall die because of the woman that you have taken. For she has a husband.”
4 ولكن لم يكن ابيمالك قد اقترب اليها. فقال يا سيد أأمة بارة تقتل.	4 In truth, Abimelech had not touched her, and so he said: “Lord, would you put to death a people, ignorant and just?
5 ألم يقل هو لي انها اختي وهي ايضا نفسها قالت هو اخي. بسلامة قلبي ونقاوة يديّ فعلت هذا.	5 Did he not say to me, ‘She is my sister,’ and did she not say, ‘He is my brother?’ In the sincerity of my heart and the purity of my hands, I have done this.”
6 فقال له الله في الحلم انا ايضا علمت انك بسلامة قلبك فعلت هذا. وانا ايضا امسكتك عن ان تخطئ اليّ. لذلك لم ادعك تمسّها.	6 And God said to him: “And I know that you have acted with a sincere heart. And therefore I kept you from sinning against me, and I did not release you to touch her.
7 فالآن رد امرأة الرجل فانه نبيّ فيصلّي لاجلك فتحيا. وان كنت لست تردها فاعلم انك موتا تموت انت وكل من لك	7 Now therefore, return his wife to the man, for he is a prophet. And he will pray for you, and you will live. But if you are not willing to return her, know this: you shall die a death, you and all that is yours.”
8 فبكّر ابيمالك في الغد ودعا جميع عبيده وتكلم بكل هذا الكلام في مسامعهم. فخاف الرجال جدا.	8 And immediately Abimelech, rising up in the night, called all his servants. And he spoke all these words in their hearing, and all the men were very afraid.
9 ثم دعا ابيمالك ابراهيم وقال له ماذا فعلت بنا وبماذا اخطأت اليك حتى جلبت عليّ وعلى مملكتي خطية عظيمة. اعمالا لا تعمل عملت بي.	9 Then Abimelech called also for Abraham, and he said to him: “What have you done to us? How have we sinned against you, so that you would bring so great a sin upon me and upon my kingdom? You have done to us what you ought not to have done.”
10 وقال ابيمالك لابراهيم ماذا رأيت حتى عملت هذا الشيء.	10 And remonstrating him again, he said, “What did you see, so that you would do this?”
11 فقال ابراهيم اني قلت ليس في هذا الموضع خوف الله البتة. فيقتلونني لاجل امرأتي.	11 Abraham responded: “I thought to myself, saying: Perhaps there is no fear of God in this place. And they will put me to death because of my wife.
12 وبالحقيقة ايضا هي اختي ابنة ابي. غير انها ليست ابنة امي. فصارت لي زوجة.	12 Yet, in another way, she is also truly my sister, the daughter of my father, and not the daughter of my mother, and I took her as a wife.
13 وحدث لما اتاهني الله من بيت ابي اني قلت لها هذا معروفك الذي تصنعين اليّ. في كل مكان نأتي اليه قولي عني هو اخي	13 Then, after God led me out of my father’s house, I said to her: ‘You will show this mercy to me. In every place, to which we will travel, you will say that I am your brother.’ ”
14 فاخذ ابيمالك غنما وبقرا وعبيدا واماء واعطاها لابراهيم. ورد اليه سارة امرأته.	14 Therefore, Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and men servants and women servants, and he gave them to Abraham. And he returned his wife Sarah to him.
15 وقال ابيمالك هوذا ارضي قدامك. اسكن في ما حسن في عينيك.	15 And he said, “The land is in your sight. Dwell wherever it will please you.”
16 وقال لسارة اني قد اعطيت اخاك الفا من الفضة. ها هو لك غطاء عين من جهة كل ما عندك وعند كل واحد فأنصفت.	16 Then to Sarah he said: “Behold, I have given your brother one thousand silver coins. This will be for you as a veil for your eyes, to all who are with you and wherever you will travel. And so, remember that you were taken.”
17 فصلّى ابراهيم الى الله. فشفى الله ابيمالك وامرأته وجواريه فولدن.	17 Then when Abraham prayed, God healed Abimelech and his wife, and his handmaids, and they gave birth.
18 لان الرب كان قد اغلق كل رحم لبيت ابيمالك بسبب سارة امرأة ابراهيم	18 For the Lord had closed every womb of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah, the wife of Abraham.
