Genesis 15

After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.
بَعْدَ هذِهِ الأُمُورِ صَارَ كَلاَمُ الرَّبِّ إِلَى أَبْرَامَ فِي الرُّؤْيَا قَائِلاً: «لاَ تَخَفْ يَا أَبْرَامُ. أَنَا تُرْسٌ لَكَ. أَجْرُكَ كَثِيرٌ جِدًّا».
And Abram said, Lord GOD, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?
فَقَالَ أَبْرَامُ: «أَيُّهَا السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ، مَاذَا تُعْطِينِي وَأَنَا مَاضٍ عَقِيمًا، وَمَالِكُ بَيْتِي هُوَ أَلِيعَازَرُ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ؟»
And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.
وَقَالَ أَبْرَامُ أَيْضًا: «إِنَّكَ لَمْ تُعْطِنِي نَسْلاً، وَهُوَذَا ابْنُ بَيْتِي وَارِثٌ لِي».
And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.
فَإِذَا كَلاَمُ الرَّبِّ إِلَيْهِ قَائِلاً: «لاَ يَرِثُكَ هذَا، بَلِ الَّذِي يَخْرُجُ مِنْ أَحْشَائِكَ هُوَ يَرِثُكَ».
And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.
ثُمَّ أَخْرَجَهُ إِلَى خَارِجٍ وَقَالَ: «انْظُرْ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَعُدَّ النُّجُومَ إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ تَعُدَّهَا». وَقَالَ لَهُ: «هكَذَا يَكُونُ نَسْلُكَ».
And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.
فَآمَنَ بِالرَّبِّ فَحَسِبَهُ لَهُ بِرًّا.
And he said unto him, I am the LORD that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.
وَقَالَ لَهُ: «أَنَا الرَّبُّ الَّذِي أَخْرَجَكَ مِنْ أُورِ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ لِيُعْطِيَكَ هذِهِ الأَرْضَ لِتَرِثَهَا».
And he said, Lord GOD, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?
فَقَالَ: «أَيُّهَا السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ، بِمَاذَا أَعْلَمُ أَنِّي أَرِثُهَا؟»
And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.
فَقَالَ لَهُ: «خُذْ لِي عِجْلَةً ثُلاَثِيَّةً، وَعَنْزَةً ثُلاَثِيَّةً، وَكَبْشًا ثُلاَثِيًّا، وَيَمَامَةً وَحَمَامَةً».
And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not.
فَأَخَذَ هذِهِ كُلَّهَا وَشَقَّهَا مِنَ الْوَسَطِ، وَجَعَلَ شِقَّ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مُقَابِلَ صَاحِبِهِ. وَأَمَّا الطَّيْرُ فَلَمْ يَشُقَّهُ.
And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away.
فَنَزَلَتِ الْجَوَارِحُ عَلَى الْجُثَثِ، وَكَانَ أَبْرَامُ يَزْجُرُهَا.
And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.
وَلَمَّا صَارَتِ الشَّمْسُ إِلَى الْمَغِيبِ، وَقَعَ عَلَى أَبْرَامَ سُبَاتٌ، وَإِذَا رُعْبَةٌ مُظْلِمَةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ وَاقِعَةٌ عَلَيْهِ.
And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
فَقَالَ لأَبْرَامَ: «اعْلَمْ يَقِينًا أَنَّ نَسْلَكَ سَيَكُونُ غَرِيبًا فِي أَرْضٍ لَيْسَتْ لَهُمْ، وَيُسْتَعْبَدُونَ لَهُمْ. فَيُذِلُّونَهُمْ أَرْبَعَ مِئَةِ سَنَةٍ.
And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
ثُمَّ الأُمَّةُ الَّتِي يُسْتَعْبَدُونَ لَهَا أَنَا أَدِينُهَا، وَبَعْدَ ذلِكَ يَخْرُجُونَ بِأَمْلاَكٍ جَزِيلَةٍ.
And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ فَتَمْضِي إِلَى آبَائِكَ بِسَلاَمٍ وَتُدْفَنُ بِشَيْبَةٍ صَالِحَةٍ.
But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.
وَفِي الْجِيلِ الرَّابعِ يَرْجِعُونَ إِلَى ههُنَا، لأَنَّ ذَنْبَ الأَمُورِيِّينَ لَيْسَ إِلَى الآنَ كَامِلاً».
And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.
ثُمَّ غَابَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَصَارَتِ الْعَتَمَةُ، وَإِذَا تَنُّورُ دُخَانٍ وَمِصْبَاحُ نَارٍ يَجُوزُ بَيْنَ تِلْكَ الْقِطَعِ.
In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ قَطَعَ الرَّبُّ مَعَ أَبْرَامَ مِيثَاقًا قَائِلاً: «لِنَسْلِكَ أُعْطِي هذِهِ الأَرْضَ، مِنْ نَهْرِ مِصْرَ إِلَى النَّهْرِ الْكَبِيرِ، نَهْرِ الْفُرَاتِ.
The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,
الْقِينِيِّينَ وَالْقَنِزِّيِّينَ وَالْقَدْمُونِيِّينَ
And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,
وَالْحِثِّيِّينَ وَالْفَرِزِّيِّينَ وَالرَّفَائِيِّينَ
And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.
وَالأَمُورِيِّينَ وَالْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ وَالْجِرْجَاشِيِّينَ وَالْيَبُوسِيِّينَ».
