1 ¶ And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did with Sarah as he had spoken.

وَأظهَرَ اللهُ نِعمَةً لِسارَةَ كَما وَعَدَ. وَعَمِلَ اللهُ مَعَها كَما سَبَقَ أنْ أعلَنَ لِزَوْجِها.

2 F or Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age at the set time of which God had spoken to him.

فَحَبِلَتْ سارَةُ وَأنجَبَتْ وَلَداً لإبْراهِيمَ فِي شَيخُوخَتِهِ. وَفِي المَوْعِدِ الَّذِي سَبَقَ أنْ حَدَّدَهُ اللهُ لَها.

3 A nd Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.

وَسَمَّى إبْراهِيمُ ابْنَهُ الَّذِي وَلَدَتْهُ لَهُ سارَةُ إسْحاقَ.

4 A nd Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old as God had commanded him.

وَخَتَنَ إبْراهِيمُ ابْنَهُ إسْحاقَ عِنْدَما بَلَغَ ثَمانِيَةَ أيّامٍ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ، كَما أوْصاهُ اللهُ.

5 A nd Abraham was one hundred years old when his son Isaac was born unto him.

وَكانَ عُمْرُ إبْراهِيمَ مِئَةَ سَنَةٍ عِنْدَما رُزِقَ بِابْنِهِ إسْحاقَ.

6 T hen Sarah said, God has made me to laugh so that all that hear will laugh with me.

فَقالَتْ سارَةُ: «لَقَدْ أضحَكَنِي اللهُ. وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَسْمَعُ عَنْ هَذا سَيَضْحَكُ مَعِي.»

7 A nd she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck? For I have born him a son in his old age.

وَقالَتْ أيضاً: «مَنْ كانَ يَتَخَيَّلُ أنْ يُقالَ لإبْراهِيمَ: ‹سَتُرْضِعُ سارَةُ أطفالاً›؟ لَكِنِّي أنجَبْتُ وَلَداً لَهُ فِي شَيخُوخَتِهِ.» طردُ هاجَرَ وَإسْماعيل

8 A nd the child grew and was weaned, and Abraham made a great banquet the day that Isaac was weaned.

وَكَبِرَ الطِّفلُ وَفُطِمَ. فَأقامَ إبْراهِيمُ حَفلَةً كَبِيرَةً يَوْمَ فُطِمَ إسْحاقُ.

9 ¶ And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had born unto Abraham, mocking.

وَرَأتْ سارَةُ ابْنَ هاجَرَ المِصْرِيَّةَ الَّذِي وَلَدَتْهُ لإبْراهِيمَ يُضايِقُ إسْحاقَ.

10 T herefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son; for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.

فَقالَتْ لإبْراهِيمَ: «اطرُدْ هَذِهِ الجارِيَةَ وَابْنَها بَعِيداً، لأنَّ ابْنَ هَذِهِ الجارِيَةِ لَنْ يَرِثَ مَعَ ابْنِي إسْحاقَ.»

11 A nd the thing was very grievous in Abraham’s sight because of his son.

فَساءَ هَذا الأمْرُ إبْراهِيمَ كَثِيراً بِسَبَبِ ابْنِهِ إسْماعِيلَ.

12 T hen God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah has said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.

فَقالَ اللهُ لإبْراهِيمَ: «لا تَتَضايَقْ بِسَبَبِ ابْنِكَ وَجارِيَتِكَ، بَلِ افْعَلْ كُلَّ ما قالَتْهُ لَكَ سارَةُ. وَسَيَكُونُ لَكَ نَسلٌ بِواسِطَةِ إسْحَاقَ.

13 A nd also of the son of the bondwoman I will make a nation because he is thy seed.

وَسَأجعَلُ ابْنَ الجارِيَةِ أيضاً أُمَّةً، لِأنَّهُ ابْنُكَ.»

14 ¶ So Abraham rose up early in the morning and took bread and a bottle of water and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child and sent her away; and she departed and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.

فَقامَ إبْراهِيمُ فِي الصَّباحِ الباكِرِ، وَأخَذَ طَعاماً وَقِرْبَةَ ماءٍ وَوَضَعَهُما عَلَى كَتِفِ هاجَرَ، ثُمَّ أعطاها الوَلَدَ وَأرْسَلَهُما فِي طَرِيقِهِما. فَغادَرَتْ هاجَرُ ذَلِكَ المَكانِ، وَارْتَحَلَتْ فِي صَحْراءِ بِئْرِ السَّبْعِ.

15 A nd the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under a tree.

فَلَمّا نَفِذَ الماءُ مِنَ القِرْبَةِ، وَضَعَتِ الوَلَدَ تَحْتَ إحدَى الأشْجارِ.

16 A nd she went and sat her down over against him a good way off as it were a bowshot; for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over against him and lifted up her voice and wept.

وَذَهَبَتْ لِتَجلِسَ بَعِيداً عَنْهُ، عَلَى بُعْدِ رَمْيَةِ قَوْسٍ. إذْ قالَتْ: «لا أُرِيدُ أنْ يَمُوتَ ابْنِي تَحْتَ نَظَرِي.» فَجَلَسَتْ عَلَى مَسافَةٍ، وَأخَذَتْ تَبْكِي.

17 A nd God heard the voice of the lad, and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven and said unto her, What ails thee, Hagar? Fear not, for God has heard the voice of the lad where he is.

فَسَمِعَ اللهُ صَوْتَ الوَلَدِ. فَنادَى مَلاكُ اللهِ هاجَرَ مِنَ السَّماءِ وَقالَ لَها: «ما لَكِ، يا هاجَرُ؟ لا تَخافِي، فَاللهُ قَدْ سَمِعَ الوَلَدَ يَبْكِي هُناكَ.

18 A rise, lift up the lad and hold him in thy hand, for I will make him a great nation.

فَقُومِي! أنْهِضِي الوَلَدَ، وَأمْسِكِيهِ جَيِّداً مِنْ يَدِهِ. فَأنا سَأجعَلُهُ أُمَّةً عَظِيمَةً.»

19 A nd God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went and filled the bottle with water and gave the lad drink.

ثُمَّ أراها اللهُ بِئْرَ ماءٍ. فَذَهَبَتْ وَمَلأتِ القِرْبَةَ ماءً. ثُمَّ سَقَتِ الوَلَدَ.

20 A nd God was with the lad, and he grew and dwelt in the wilderness and became an archer.

وَكانَ اللهُ مَعَ الوَلَدِ حَتَّى كَبِرَ. وَسَكَنَ إسْماعِيلُ فِي الصَّحْراءِ. وَصارَ رامِيَ سِهامٍ.

21 A nd he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother took a wife for him out of the land of Egypt.

وَعاشَ فِي بَرِّيَّةِ فارانَ. وَاختارَتْ لَهُ أُمُّهُ زَوْجَةً مِنْ أرْضِ مِصْرَ. عَهْدُ إبْراهيمَ وَأبِيمالِك

22 ¶ And it came to pass at that time that Abimelech and Phichol, the prince of his host, spoke unto Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest.

فِي ذَلِكَ اليَومِ، قالَ أبِيمالِكُ وَمَعْهُ فِيكُولُ قائِدُ جَيشِهِ لإبْراهِيمَ: «إنَّ اللهَ مَعَكَ فِي كُلِّ ما تَفعَلُهُ.

23 N ow therefore swear unto me here by God that thou wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son’s son; but according to the mercy that I have done unto thee, thou shalt do unto me and to the land in which thou hast sojourned.

فاحلِفْ لِي بِاللهِ أنَّكَ لَنْ تَلْجَأ يَوْماً إلَى الغَدْرِ فِي تَعامُلِكَ مَعِي أوْ مَعَ أبْنائِي أوْ مَعَ نَسلِي. فَكَما كُنْتُ كَرِيماً مَعَكَ، احلِفْ أنْ تَكُونَ كَرِيماً مَعِي وَمَعَ هَذِهِ الأرْضِ الَّتِي تَغَرَّبْتَ فِيها.»

24 A nd Abraham said, I will swear.

فَقالَ إبْراهِيمُ: «أحلِفُ.»

25 A nd Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water which Abimelech’s slaves had violently taken away.

ثُمَّ اشْتَكَى إبْراهِيمُ لِأبِيمالِكَ مِنْ أنَّ عَبِيدَهُ اسْتَولُوا عَلَى بِئْرِ ماءٍ يَخُصُّهُ.

26 A nd Abimelech said, I know not who has done this thing; neither didst thou tell me, neither have I heard of it, but today.

فَقالَ أبِيمالِكُ: «لا أعلَمُ مَنِ الَّذِي فَعَلَ هَذا. فَأنتَ لَمْ تُخبِرْنِي فِيما مَضَى، وَلَمْ أسْمَعْ بِهَذا الأمْرِ إلّا اليَوْمَ.»

27 A nd Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them unto Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant.

فَأخَذَ إبْراهِيمُ غَنَماً وَبَقَراً وَأعطاها لِأبِيمالِكَ. وَقَطَعَ الاثْنانِ بَينَهُما عَهداً.

28 A nd Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.

وَفَرَزَ إبْراهِيمُ سَبْعَ نِعاجٍ مِنَ القَطِيعِ.

29 A nd Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves?

فَسَألَ أبِيمالِكُ إبْراهِيمَ: «لِماذا فِرَزْتَ هَذِهِ النِّعاجَ السَّبْعَ وَحْدَها؟»

30 A nd he said, For these seven ewe lambs shalt thou take of my hand that they may be a witness unto me that I have dug this well.

فَقالَ إبْراهِيمُ: «سَتَأْخُذُ هَذِهِ النِّعاجَ السَّبْعَ مِنِّي شَهادَةً عَلَى أنِّي حَفَرْتُ هَذَهِ البِئْرَ.»

31 T herefore he called that place Beersheba; because there they swore, both of them.

فَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ سُمِّيَتْ تِلْكَ البِئْرُ بِئْرَ سَبْعٍ، لِأنَّهُما قَطَعا عَهداً وَأقْسَما هُناكَ.

32 T hus they made a covenant at Beersheba; then Abimelech rose up and Phichol, the prince of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.

فَقَطَعا عَهْداً فِي بِئْرِ السَّبْعِ. وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ عادَ أبِيمالِكُ وَفِيكُولُ رَئِيسُ جَيشِهِ إلَى أرْضِ الفِلِسْطِيِّينَ.

33 ¶ And Abraham planted a grove in Beersheba and called there on the name of the LORD, the eternal God.

وَزَرَعَ إبْراهِيمُ شَجَرَةَ أثلٍ فِي بِئْرِ السَّبْعِ. وَهُناكَ صَلَّى بِاسمِ يهوه، الإلَهِ السَّرْمَدِيِّ.

34 A nd Abraham sojourned in the Philistines’ land many days.

وَتَغَرَّبَ إبْراهِيمُ فِي أرْضِ الفِلِسْطِيِّينَ مُدَّةً طَوِيلَةً.
