1 و َقالَ اللهُ لِأبْرامَ: «اتْرُكْ بَلَدَكَ وَشَعبَكَ وَعائِلَةَ أبِيكَ، وَاذْهَبْ إلَى الأرْضِ الَّتِي سَأُرِيها أنا لَكَ.

Now Jehovah said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto the land that I will show thee:

2 و َأنا سَأجْعَلُ مِنْ نَسلِكَ أُمَّةً عَظِيمَةً. وَسَأُبارِكُكَ، وَسَأجْعَلُ لَكَ اسْماً شَهِيراً، فَتَكُونَ بَرَكَةً لِلآخَرِينَ.

and I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make they name great; and be thou a blessing;

3 س َأُبارِكُ مَنْ يُبارِكُونَكَ، وَسَألْعَنُ مَنْ يَحتَقِرُونَكَ. وَبِكَ تَتَبارَكُ كُلُّ عَشَائِرِ الأرْضِ.» أبْرامُ يذهبُ إلَى كَنْعان

and I will bless them that bless thee, and him that curseth thee will I curse: and in thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed.

4 ف َذَهَبَ أبْرامُ كَما أمَرَهُ اللهُ. وَرافَقَهُ لُوطُ. وَكانَ أبْرامُ فِي الخامِسَةِ وَالسَّبْعِينَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ عِنْدَما تَرَكَ حارانَ.

So Abram went, as Jehovah had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.

5 و َأخَذَ أبْرامُ مَعَهُ زَوْجَتَهُ سارايَ وَابْنَ أخِيهِ لُوطَ، وَكُلَّ المُقْتَنَياتِ الَّتِي جَمَعُوها. كَما أخَذَ مَعَهُ كُلَّ خَدَمِهِمْ فِي حارانَ، وَغادَرُوا المَكانَ إلَى أرْضِ كَنْعانَ. فَوَصَلُوا إلَى أرْضِ كَنْعانَ.

And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.

6 و َاجتازَ أبْرامُ عَبْرَ الأرْضِ حَتَّى وَصَلَ إلَى شَكِيمَ، أوْ بَلُّوطَةِ مُورَةَ. وَكانَ الكَنْعانِيُّونَ يَسْكُنُونَ تِلْكَ الأرْضَ فِي ذَلِكَ الحِينِ.

And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Shechem, unto the oak of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.

7 و َظَهَرَ اللهُ لِأبْرامَ وَقالَ لَهُ: «سَأُعطِي هَذِهِ الأرْضَ لِنَسلِكَ.» فَبَنَى أبْرامُ هُناكَ مَذْبَحاً للهِ الَّذِي ظَهَرَ لَهُ.

And Jehovah appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto Jehovah, who appeared unto him.

8 ث ُمَّ انْتَقَلَ أبْرامُ مِنْ هُناكَ إلَى الجِبالِ شَرْقِيِّ بَيتَ إيلَ. وَنَصَبَ هُناكَ خَيمَتَهُ. وَكانَتْ بَيتُ إيلَ إلَى الغَرْبِ، وَعايُ إلَى الشَّرْقِ. فَبَنَى أبْرامُ هُناكَ مَذْبَحاً للهِ ، وَصَلَّى بِاسمِ اللهَ.

And he removed from thence unto the mountain on the east of Beth-el, and pitched his tent, having Beth-el on the west, and Ai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto Jehovah, and called upon the name of Jehovah.

9 ث ُمَّ ارْتَحَلَ أبْرامُ عَلَى مَراحِلَ نَحْوَ صَحْراءِ النَّقَبِ. أبْرامُ في مِصْر

And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the South.

10 ث ُمَّ حَدَثْتْ مَجاعَةٌ فِي الأرْضِ. فَنَزَلَ أبْرامُ إلَى مِصْرَ لِيَسْكُنَ هُناكَ بَعْضَ الوَقْتِ، لأنَّ المَجاعَةَ كانَتْ شَدِيدَةً فِي البِلادِ.

And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was sore in the land.

11 و َقُبَيلَ دُخُولِ أبْرامَ إلَى مِصْرَ، قالَ لِزَوْجَتِهِ سارايَ: «اسْمَعِي، أنا أعلَمُ أنَّكِ امْرأةٌ جَمِيلَةٌ.

And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon:

12 ف َحِينَ يَراكِ المِصْرِيُّونَ سَيَقُولُونَ: ‹هَذِهِ المَرأةُ هِيَ زَوْجَتُهُ، فَيَقْتُلُونَنِي، وَيُبْقُونَ عَلَى حَياتِكِ.

and it will come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they will say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive.

13 ق ُولِي إنَّكِ أُخْتِي، فَيُعامِلُونِي مُعامَلَةً حَسَنَةً بِسَبَبِكِ، وَأنْجُ مِنَ المَوْتِ بِفَضلِكِ.›»

Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister; that it may be well with me for thy sake, and that my soul may live because of thee.

14 ف َلَمّا دَخَلَ أبْرامُ مِصْرَ، رَأى المِصْرِيُّونَ أنَّها جَمِيلَةٌ جِدّاً.

And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.

15 و َعِنْدَما رَآها بَعْضُ المَسْؤُولِينَ لَدَى فِرعَوْنَ، أخْبَرُوهُ عَنْ مَدَى جَمالِها. فَأمَرَ فِرعَوْنُ بِإحضارِها إلَى بَيتِهِ.

And the princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.

16 و َأحْسَنَ فِرعَوْنُ مُعامَلَةَ أبْرامَ بِسَبَبِها. إذْ أعطاهُ غَنَماً وَبَقَراً وَحَمِيراً وَأُتُناً وَجِمالاً، وَخَدَماً وَخادِماتٍ.

And he dealt well with Abram for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he-asses, and men-servants, and maid-servants, and she-asses, and camels.

17 ل َكِنَّ اللهَ ضَرَبَ فِرعَوْنَ وَأهلَ بَيتِهِ بِأمْراضٍ شَدِيدَةٍ بَسَبَبِ سارايَ، زَوْجَةِ أبْرامَ.

And Jehovah plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram's wife.

18 ف َاسْتَدْعَى فِرعَوْنُ أبْرامَ، وَقالَ لَهُ: «ما هَذا الَّذِي فَعَلْتَهُ لِماذا لَمْ تَقُلْ إنَّها زَوْجَتُكَ؟

And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this that thou hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?

19 ل ِماذا قُلْتَ إنَّها أُخْتُكَ، فَأخَذْتُها أنا لِتَكُونَ لِي زَوْجَةً؟ ها هِيَ زَوْجَتُكَ. خُذْها وَانصَرِفْ!»

why saidst thou, She is my sister, so that I took her to be my wife? now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way.

20 و َأمَرَ فِرعَوْنُ رِجالَهُ بِحِمايَةِ أبْرامَ، فَرافَقُوهُ فِي طَرِيقِهِ مَعَ زَوْجَتِهِ وَكُلِّ ما كانَ لَدَيهِ.

And Pharaoh gave men charge concerning him: and they brought him on the way, and his wife, and all that he had.
