اَلتَّكْوِينُ 24
| وَشَاخَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَتَقَدَّمَ فِي ٱلْأَيَّامِ. وَبَارَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ. | ١ 1 |
Now Abraham was old and far on in years: and the Lord had given him everything in full measure.
| وَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ لِعَبْدِهِ كَبِيرِ بَيْتِهِ ٱلْمُسْتَوْلِي عَلَى كُلِّ مَا كَانَ لَهُ: «ضَعْ يَدَكَ تَحْتَ فَخْذِي، | ٢ 2 |
And Abraham said to his chief servant, the manager of all his property, Come now, put your hand under my leg:
| فَأَسْتَحْلِفَكَ بِٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَإِلَهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ أَنْ لَا تَأْخُذَ زَوْجَةً لِٱبْنِي مِنْ بَنَاتِ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنَا سَاكِنٌ بَيْنَهُمْ، | ٣ 3 |
And take an oath by the Lord, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you will not get a wife for my son Isaac from the daughters of the Canaanites among whom I am living;
| بَلْ إِلَى أَرْضِي وَإِلَى عَشِيرَتِي تَذْهَبُ وَتَأْخُذُ زَوْجَةً لِٱبْنِي إِسْحَاقَ». | ٤ 4 |
But that you will go into my country and to my relations and get a wife there for my son Isaac.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ ٱلْعَبْدُ: «رُبَّمَا لَا تَشَاءُ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ أَنْ تَتْبَعَنِي إِلَى هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. هَلْ أَرْجِعُ بِٱبْنِكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي خَرَجْتَ مِنْهَا؟» | ٥ 5 |
And the servant said, If by chance the woman will not come with me into this land, am I to take your son back again to the land from which you came?
| فَقَالَ لَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ: «ٱحْتَرِزْ مِنْ أَنْ تَرْجِعَ بِٱبْنِي إِلَى هُنَاكَ. | ٦ 6 |
And Abraham said, Take care that you do not let my son go back to that land.
| اَلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ ٱلسَّمَاءِ ٱلَّذِي أَخَذَنِي مِنْ بَيْتِ أَبِي وَمِنْ أَرْضِ مِيلَادِي، وَٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَنِي وَٱلَّذِي أَقْسَمَ لِي قَائِلًا: لِنَسْلِكَ أُعْطِي هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضَ، هُوَ يُرْسِلُ مَلَاكَهُ أَمَامَكَ، فَتَأْخُذُ زَوْجَةً لِٱبْنِي مِنْ هُنَاكَ. | ٧ 7 |
The Lord God of heaven, who took me from my father's house and from the land of my birth, and made an oath to me, saying, To your seed I will give this land: he will send his angel before you and give you a wife for my son in that land.
| وَإِنْ لَمْ تَشَإِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ أَنْ تَتْبَعَكَ، تَبَرَّأْتَ مِنْ حَلْفِي هَذَا. أَمَّا ٱبْنِي فَلَا تَرْجِعْ بِهِ إِلَى هُنَاكَ». | ٨ 8 |
And if the woman will not come with you, then you are free from this oath; only do not take my son back there.
| فَوَضَعَ ٱلْعَبْدُ يَدَهُ تَحْتَ فَخْذِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مَوْلَاهُ، وَحَلَفَ لَهُ عَلَى هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرِ. | ٩ 9 |
And the servant put his hand under Abraham's leg, and gave him his oath about this thing.
| ثُمَّ أَخَذَ ٱلْعَبْدُ عَشْرَةَ جِمَالٍ مِنْ جِمَالِ مَوْلَاهُ، وَمَضَى وَجَمِيعُ خَيْرَاتِ مَوْلَاهُ فِي يَدِهِ. فَقَامَ وَذَهَبَ إِلَى أَرَامِ ٱلنَّهْرَيْنِ إِلَى مَدِينَةِ نَاحُورَ. | ١٠ 10 |
And the servant took ten of his master's camels, and all sorts of good things of his master's, and went to Mesopotamia, to the town of Nahor.
| وَأَنَاخَ ٱلْجِمَالَ خَارِجَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ عِنْدَ بِئْرِ ٱلْمَاءِ وَقْتَ ٱلْمَسَاءِ، وَقْتَ خُرُوجِ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيَاتِ. | ١١ 11 |
And he made the camels take their rest outside the town by the water-spring in the evening, at the time when the women came to get water.
| وَقَالَ: «أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهَ سَيِّدِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ، يَسِّرْ لِي ٱلْيَوْمَ وَٱصْنَعْ لُطْفًا إِلَى سَيِّدِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ. | ١٢ 12 |
And he said, O Lord, the God of my master Abraham, let me do well in what I have undertaken this day, and give your mercy to my master Abraham.
| هَا أَنَا وَاقِفٌ عَلَى عَيْنِ ٱلْمَاءِ، وَبَنَاتُ أَهْلِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ خَارِجَاتٌ لِيَسْتَقِينَ مَاءً. | ١٣ 13 |
See, I am waiting here by the water-spring; and the daughters of the town are coming out to get water:
| فَلْيَكُنْ أَنَّ ٱلْفَتَاةَ ٱلَّتِي أَقُولُ لَهَا: أَمِيلِي جَرَّتَكِ لِأَشْرَبَ، فَتَقُولَ: ٱشْرَبْ وَأَنَا أَسْقِي جِمَالَكَ أَيْضًا، هِيَ ٱلَّتِي عَيَّنْتَهَا لِعَبْدِكَ إِسْحَاقَ. وَبِهَا أَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ صَنَعْتَ لُطْفًا إِلَى سَيِّدِي». | ١٤ 14 |
Now, may the girl to whom I say, Let down your vessel and give me a drink, and who says in answer, Here is a drink for you and let me give water to your camels: may she be the one marked out by you for your servant Isaac: so may I be certain that you have been good to my master Abraham.
| وَإِذْ كَانَ لَمْ يَفْرَغْ بَعْدُ مِنَ ٱلْكَلَامِ، إِذَا رِفْقَةُ ٱلَّتِي وُلِدَتْ لِبَتُوئِيلَ ٱبْنِ مِلْكَةَ ٱمْرَأَةِ نَاحُورَ أَخِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ، خَارِجَةٌ وَجَرَّتُهَا عَلَى كَتِفِهَا. | ١٥ 15 |
And even before his words were ended, Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Milcah, who was the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, came out with her water-vessel on her arm.
| وَكَانَتِ ٱلْفَتَاةُ حَسَنَةَ ٱلْمَنْظَرِ جِدًّا، وَعَذْرَاءَ لَمْ يَعْرِفْهَا رَجُلٌ. فَنَزَلَتْ إِلَى ٱلْعَيْنِ وَمَلَأَتْ جَرَّتَهَا وَطَلَعَتْ. | ١٦ 16 |
She was a very beautiful girl, a virgin, who had never been touched by a man: and she went down to the spring to get water in her vessel.
| فَرَكَضَ ٱلْعَبْدُ لِلِقَائِهَا وَقَالَ: «ٱسْقِينِي قَلِيلَ مَاءٍ مِنْ جَرَّتِكِ». | ١٧ 17 |
And the servant came running to her and said, Give me a little water from your vessel.
| فَقَالَتِ: «ٱشْرَبْ يَا سَيِّدِي». وَأَسْرَعَتْ وَأَنْزَلَتْ جَرَّتَهَا عَلَى يَدِهَا وَسَقَتْهُ. | ١٨ 18 |
And she said, Take a drink, my lord: and quickly letting down her vessel onto her hand, she gave him a drink.
| وَلَمَّا فَرَغَتْ مِنْ سَقْيِهِ قَالَتْ: «أَسْتَقِي لِجِمَالِكَ أَيْضًا حَتَّى تَفْرَغَ مِنَ ٱلشُّرْبِ». | ١٩ 19 |
And having done so, she said, I will get water for your camels till they have had enough.
| فَأَسْرَعَتْ وَأَفْرَغَتْ جَرَّتَهَا فِي ٱلْمَسْقَاةِ، وَرَكَضَتْ أَيْضًا إِلَى ٱلْبِئْرِ لِتَسْتَقِيَ، فَٱسْتَقَتْ لِكُلِّ جِمَالِهِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
And after putting the water from her vessel into the animals' drinking-place, she went quickly back to the spring and got water for all the camels.
| وَٱلرَّجُلُ يَتَفَرَّسُ فِيهَا صَامِتًا لِيَعْلَمَ: أَأَنْجَحَ ٱلرَّبُّ طَرِيقَهُ أَمْ لَا. | ٢١ 21 |
And the man, looking at her, said nothing, waiting to see if the Lord had given his journey a good outcome.
| وَحَدَثَ عِنْدَمَا فَرَغَتِ ٱلْجِمَالُ مِنَ ٱلشُّرْبِ أَنَّ ٱلرَّجُلَ أَخَذَ خِزَامَةَ ذَهَبٍ وَزْنُهَا نِصْفُ شَاقِلٍ وَسِوَارَيْنِ عَلَى يَدَيْهَا وَزْنُهُمَا عَشْرَةُ شَوَاقِلِ ذَهَبٍ. | ٢٢ 22 |
And when the camels had had enough, the man took a gold nose-ring, half a shekel in weight, and two ornaments for her arms of ten shekels weight of gold;
| وَقَالَ: «بِنْتُ مَنْ أَنْتِ؟ أَخْبِرِينِي: هَلْ فِي بَيْتِ أَبِيكِ مَكَانٌ لَنَا لِنَبِيتَ؟» | ٢٣ 23 |
And said to her, Whose daughter are you? is there room in your father's house for us?
| فَقَالَتْ لَهُ: «أَنَا بِنْتُ بَتُوئِيلَ ٱبْنِ مِلْكَةَ ٱلَّذِي وَلَدَتْهُ لِنَاحُورَ». | ٢٤ 24 |
And she said to him, I am the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Milcah, Nahor's wife.
| وَقَالَتْ لَهُ: «عِنْدَنَا تِبْنٌ وَعَلَفٌ كَثِيرٌ، وَمَكَانٌ لِتَبِيتُوا أَيْضًا». | ٢٥ 25 |
And she said, We have a great store of dry grass and cattle-food, and there is room for you.
| فَخَرَّ ٱلرَّجُلُ وَسَجَدَ لِلرَّبِّ، | ٢٦ 26 |
And with bent head the man gave worship to the Lord;
| وَقَالَ: «مُبَارَكٌ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ سَيِّدِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ يَمْنَعْ لُطْفَهُ وَحَقَّهُ عَنْ سَيِّدِي. إِذْ كُنْتُ أَنَا فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ، هَدَانِي ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَى بَيْتِ إِخْوَةِ سَيِّدِي». | ٢٧ 27 |
And said, Praise be to the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, who has given a sign that he is good and true to my master, by guiding me straight to the house of my master's family.
| فَرَكَضَتِ ٱلْفَتَاةُ وَأَخْبَرَتْ بَيْتَ أُمِّهَا بِحَسَبِ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ. | ٢٨ 28 |
So the girl went running and took the news of these things to her mother's house
| وَكَانَ لِرِفْقَةَ أَخٌ ٱسْمُهُ لَابَانُ، فَرَكَضَ لَابَانُ إِلَى ٱلرَّجُلِ خَارِجًا إِلَى ٱلْعَيْنِ. | ٢٩ 29 |
Now Rebekah had a brother named Laban, and he came out quickly to the man at the water-spring.
| وَحَدَثَ أَنَّهُ إِذْ رَأَى ٱلْخِزَامَةَ وَٱلسِّوَارَيْنِ عَلَى يَدَيْ أُخْتِهِ، وَإِذْ سَمِعَ كَلَامَ رِفْقَةَ أُخْتِهِ قَائِلَةً: «هَكَذَا كَلَّمَنِي ٱلرَّجُلُ»، جَاءَ إِلَى ٱلرَّجُلِ، وَإِذَا هُوَ وَاقِفٌ عِنْدَ ٱلْجِمَالِ عَلَى ٱلْعَيْنِ. | ٣٠ 30 |
And when he saw the nose-ring and the ornaments on his sister's hands, and when she gave him word of what the man had said to her, then he went out to the man who was waiting with the camels by the water-spring.
| فَقَالَ: «ٱدْخُلْ يَا مُبَارَكَ ٱلرَّبِّ، لِمَاذَا تَقِفُ خَارِجًا وَأَنَا قَدْ هَيَّأْتُ ٱلْبَيْتَ وَمَكَانًا لِلْجِمَالِ؟». | ٣١ 31 |
And he said to him, Come in, you on whom is the blessing of the Lord; why are you waiting outside? for I have made the house ready for you, and a place for the camels.
| فَدَخَلَ ٱلرَّجُلُ إِلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ وَحَلَّ عَنِ ٱلْجِمَالِ، فَأَعْطَى تِبْنًا وَعَلَفًا لِلْجِمَالِ، وَمَاءً لِغَسْلِ رِجْلَيْهِ وَأَرْجُلِ ٱلرِّجَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ. | ٣٢ 32 |
Then the man came into the house, and Laban took their cords off the camels and gave them dry grass and food, and he gave to him and the men who were with him water for washing their feet.
| وَوُضِعَ قُدَّامَهُ لِيَأْكُلَ. فَقَالَ: «لَا آكُلُ حَتَّى أَتَكَلَّمَ كَلَامِي». فَقَالَ: «تَكَلَّمْ». | ٣٣ 33 |
And meat was put before him, but he said, I will not take food till I have made my business clear to you. And they said, Do so.
| فَقَالَ: «أَنَا عَبْدُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، | ٣٤ 34 |
And he said, I am Abraham's servant.
| وَٱلرَّبُّ قَدْ بَارَكَ مَوْلَايَ جِدًّا فَصَارَ عَظِيمًا، وَأَعْطَاهُ غَنَمًا وَبَقَرًا وَفِضَّةً وَذَهَبًا وَعَبِيدًا وَإِمَاءً وَجِمَالًا وَحَمِيرًا. | ٣٥ 35 |
The Lord has given my master every blessing, and he has become great: he has given him flocks and herds and silver and gold, and men-servants and women-servants and camels and asses.
| وَوَلَدَتْ سَارَةُ ٱمْرَأَةُ سَيِّدِي ٱبْنًا لِسَيِّدِي بَعْدَ مَاشَاخَتْ، فَقَدْ أَعْطَاهُ كُلَّ مَا لَهُ. | ٣٦ 36 |
And when Sarah, my master's wife, was old, she gave birth to a son, to whom he has given all he has.
| وَٱسْتَحْلَفَنِي سَيِّدِي قَائِلًا: لَا تَأْخُذْ زَوْجَةً لِٱبْنِي مِنْ بَنَاتِ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنَا سَاكِنٌ فِي أَرْضِهِمْ، | ٣٧ 37 |
And my master made me take an oath, saying, Do not get a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites among whom I am living;
| بَلْ إِلَى بَيْتِ أَبِي تَذْهَبُ وَإِلَى عَشِيرَتِي، وَتَأْخُذُ زَوْجَةً لِٱبْنِي. | ٣٨ 38 |
But go to my father's house and to my relations for a wife for my son.
| فَقُلْتُ لِسَيِّدِي: رُبَّمَا لَا تَتْبَعُنِي ٱلْمَرْأَةُ. | ٣٩ 39 |
And I said to my master, What if the woman will not come with me?
| فَقَالَ لِي: إِنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ ٱلَّذِي سِرْتُ أَمَامَهُ يُرْسِلُ مَلَاكَهُ مَعَكَ وَيُنْجِحُ طَرِيقَكَ، فَتَأْخُذُ زَوْجَةً لِٱبْنِي مِنْ عَشِيرَتِي وَمِنْ بَيْتِ أَبِي. | ٤٠ 40 |
And he said, The Lord, whom I have ever kept before me, will send his angel with you, who will make it possible for you to get a wife for my son from my relations and my father's house;
| حِينَئِذٍ تَتَبَرَّأُ مِنْ حَلْفِي حِينَمَا تَجِيءُ إِلَى عَشِيرَتِي. وَإِنْ لَمْ يُعْطُوكَ فَتَكُونُ بَرِيئًا مِنْ حَلْفِي. | ٤١ 41 |
And you will be free from your oath to me when you come to my people; and if they will not give her to you, you will be free from your oath.
| فَجِئْتُ ٱلْيَوْمَ إِلَى ٱلْعَيْنِ، وَقُلْتُ: أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ سَيِّدِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ، إِنْ كُنْتَ تُنْجِحُ طَرِيقِي ٱلَّذِي أَنَا سَالِكٌ فِيهِ، | ٤٢ 42 |
And I came today to the water-spring, and I said, O Lord, the God of my master Abraham, if it is your purpose to give a good outcome to my journey,
| فَهَا أَنَا وَاقِفٌ عَلَى عَيْنِ ٱلْمَاءِ، وَلْيَكُنْ أَنَّ ٱلْفَتَاةَ ٱلَّتِي تَخْرُجُ لِتَسْتَقِيَ وَأَقُولُ لَهَا: ٱسْقِينِي قَلِيلَ مَاءٍ مِنْ جَرَّتِكِ، | ٤٣ 43 |
Let it come about that, while I am waiting here by the water-spring, if a girl comes to get water and I say to her, Give me a little water from your vessel, and she says,
| فَتَقُولَ لِيَ: ٱشْرَبْ أَنْتَ، وَأَنَا أَسْتَقِي لِجِمَالِكَ أَيْضًا، هِيَ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ ٱلَّتِي عَيَّنَهَا ٱلرَّبُّ لِٱبْنِ سَيِّدِي. | ٤٤ 44 |
Take a drink, and I will get water for your camels; let her be the woman marked out by the Lord for my master's son.
| وَإِذْ كُنْتُ أَنَا لَمْ أَفْرَغْ بَعْدُ مِنَ ٱلْكَلَامِ فِي قَلْبِي، إِذَا رِفْقَةُ خَارِجَةٌ وَجَرَّتُهَا عَلَى كَتِفِهَا، فَنَزَلَتْ إِلَى ٱلْعَيْنِ وَٱسْتَقَتْ. فَقُلْتُ لَهَا: ٱسْقِينِي. | ٤٥ 45 |
And even while I was saying this to myself, Rebekah came out with her vessel on her arm; and she went down to the spring to get water; and I said to her, Give me a drink.
| فَأَسْرَعَتْ وَأَنْزَلَتْ جَرَّتَهَا عَنْهَا وَقَالَتِ: ٱشْرَبْ وَأَنَا أَسْقِي جِمَالَكَ أَيْضًا. فَشَرِبْتُ، وَسَقَتِ ٱلْجِمَالَ أَيْضًا. | ٤٦ 46 |
And straight away she took down her vessel from her arm, and said, Take a drink, and I will get water for your camels.
| فَسَأَلْتُهَا وَقُلتُ: بِنْتُ مَنْ أَنْتِ؟ فَقَالَتْ: بِنْتُ بَتُوئِيلَ بْنِ نَاحُورَ ٱلَّذِي وَلَدَتْهُ لَهُ مِلْكَةُ. فَوَضَعْتُ ٱلْخِزَامَةَ فِي أَنْفِهَا وَٱلسِّوَارَيْنِ عَلَى يَدَيْهَا. | ٤٧ 47 |
And questioning her, I said, Whose daughter are you? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, the son of Nahor, and Milcah his wife. Then I put the ring on her nose and the ornaments on her hands.
| وَخَرَرْتُ وَسَجَدْتُ لِلرَّبِّ، وَبَارَكْتُ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَ سَيِّدِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ ٱلَّذِي هَدَانِي فِي طَرِيقٍ أَمِينٍ لِآخُذَ ٱبْنَةَ أَخِي سَيِّدِي لِٱبْنِهِ. | ٤٨ 48 |
And with bent head I gave worship and praise to the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, by whom I had been guided in the right way, to get the daughter of my master's brother for his son.
| وَٱلْآنَ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَصْنَعُونَ مَعْرُوفًا وَأَمَانَةً إِلَى سَيِّدِي فَأَخْبِرُونِي، وَإِلَا فَأَخْبِرُونِي لِأَنْصَرِفَ يَمِينًا أَوْ شِمَالًا». | ٤٩ 49 |
And now, say if you will do what is good and right for my master or not, in order that it may be clear to me what I have to do.
| فَأَجَابَ لَابَانُ وَبَتُوئِيلُ وَقَالَا: «مِنْ عِنْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ خَرَجَ ٱلْأَمْرُ. لَا نَقْدِرُ أَنْ نُكَلِّمَكَ بِشَرٍّ أَوْ خَيْرٍ. | ٥٠ 50 |
Then Laban and Bethuel said in answer, This is the Lord's doing: it is not for us to say Yes or No to you.
| هُوَذَا رِفْقَةُ قُدَّامَكَ. خُذْهَا وَٱذْهَبْ. فَلْتَكُنْ زَوْجَةً لِٱبْنِ سَيِّدِكَ، كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ». | ٥١ 51 |
See, here is Rebekah: take her and go, and let her be your master's son's wife, as the Lord has said.
| وَكَانَ عِنْدَمَا سَمِعَ عَبْدُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ كَلَامَهُمْ أَنَّهُ سَجَدَ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٥٢ 52 |
And at these words, Abraham's servant went down on his face and gave praise to the Lord.
| وَأَخْرَجَ ٱلْعَبْدُ آنِيَةَ فِضَّةٍ وَآنِيَةَ ذَهَبٍ وَثِيَابًا وَأَعْطَاهَا لِرِفْقَةَ، وَأَعْطَى تُحَفًا لِأَخِيهَا وَلِأُمِّهَا. | ٥٣ 53 |
Then he took jewels of silver and jewels of gold and fair robes and gave them to Rebekah: and he gave things of value to her mother and her brother.
| فَأَكَلَ وَشَرِبَ هُوَ وَٱلرِّجَالُ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ وَبَاتُوا. ثُمَّ قَامُوا صَبَاحًا فَقَالَ: «ٱصْرِفُونِي إِلَى سَيِّدِي». | ٥٤ 54 |
Then he and the men who were with him had food and drink, and took their rest there that night; and in the morning he got up, and said, Let me now go back to my master.
| فَقَالَ أَخُوهَا وَأُمُّهَا: «لِتَمْكُثِ ٱلْفَتَاةُ عِنْدَنَا أَيَّامًا أَوْ عَشْرَةً، بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ تَمْضِي». | ٥٥ 55 |
But her brother and her mother said, Let the girl be with us a week or ten days, and then she may go.
| فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لَا تُعَوِّقُونِي وَٱلرَّبُّ قَدْ أَنْجَحَ طَرِيقِي. اِصْرِفُونِي لِأَذْهَبَ إِلَى سَيِّدِي». | ٥٦ 56 |
And he said, Do not keep me; the Lord has given a good outcome to my journey; let me now go back to my master.
| فَقَالُوا: «نَدْعُو ٱلْفَتَاةَ وَنَسْأَلُهَا شِفَاهًا». | ٥٧ 57 |
And they said, We will send for the girl, and let her make the decision.
| فَدَعَوْا رِفْقَةَ وَقَالُوا لَهَا: «هَلْ تَذْهَبِينَ مَعَ هَذَا ٱلرَّجُلِ؟» فَقَالَتْ: «أَذْهَبُ». | ٥٨ 58 |
And they sent for Rebekah and said to her, Are you ready to go with this man? And she said, I am ready.
| فَصَرَفُوا رِفْقَةَ أُخْتَهُمْ وَمُرْضِعَتَهَا وَعَبْدَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَرِجَالَهُ. | ٥٩ 59 |
So they sent their sister Rebekah and her servant with Abraham's servant and his men.
| وَبَارَكُوا رِفْقَةَ وَقَالُوا لَهَا: «أَنْتِ أُخْتُنَا. صِيرِي أُلُوفَ رِبْوَاتٍ، وَلْيَرِثْ نَسْلُكِ بَابَ مُبْغِضِيهِ». | ٦٠ 60 |
And they gave Rebekah their blessing, saying, O sister, may you be the mother of thousands and ten thousands; and may your seed overcome all those who make war against them.
| فَقَامَتْ رِفْقَةُ وَفَتَيَاتُهَا وَرَكِبْنَ عَلَى ٱلْجِمَالِ وَتَبِعْنَ ٱلرَّجُلَ. فَأَخَذَ ٱلْعَبْدُ رِفْقَةَ وَمَضَى. | ٦١ 61 |
So Rebekah and her servant-women went with the man, seated on the camels; and so the servant took Rebekah and went on his way.
| وَكَانَ إِسْحَاقُ قَدْ أَتَى مِنْ وُرُودِ بِئْرِ لَحَيْ رُئِي، إِذْ كَانَ سَاكِنًا فِي أَرْضِ ٱلْجَنُوبِ. | ٦٢ 62 |
Now Isaac had come through the waste land to Beer-lahai-roi; for he was living in the South.
| وَخَرَجَ إِسْحَاقُ لِيَتَأَمَّلَ فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ عِنْدَ إِقْبَالِ ٱلْمَسَاءِ، فَرَفَعَ عَيْنَيْهِ وَنَظَرَ وَإِذَا جِمَالٌ مُقْبِلَةٌ. | ٦٣ 63 |
And when the evening was near, he went wandering out into the fields, and lifting up his eyes he saw camels coming.
| وَرَفَعَتْ رِفْقَةُ عَيْنَيْهَا فَرَأَتْ إِسْحَاقَ فَنَزَلَتْ عَنِ ٱلْجَمَلِ. | ٦٤ 64 |
And when Rebekah, looking up, saw Isaac, she got down from her camel,
| وَقَالَتْ لِلْعَبْدِ: «مَنْ هَذَا ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلْمَاشِي فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ لِلِقَائِنَا؟» فَقَالَ ٱلْعَبْدُ: «هُوَ سَيِّدِي». فَأَخَذَتِ ٱلْبُرْقُعَ وَتَغَطَّتْ. | ٦٥ 65 |
And said to the servant, Who is that man coming to us through the field? And the servant said, It is my master: then she took her veil, covering her face with it.
| ثُمَّ حَدَّثَ ٱلْعَبْدُ إِسْحَاقَ بِكُلِّ ٱلْأُمُورِ ٱلَّتِي صَنَعَ، | ٦٦ 66 |
Then the servant gave Isaac the story of all he had done.
| فَأَدْخَلَهَا إِسْحَاقُ إِلَى خِبَاءِ سَارَةَ أُمِّهِ، وَأَخَذَ رِفْقَةَ فَصَارَتْ لَهُ زَوْجَةً وَأَحَبَّهَا. فَتَعَزَّى إِسْحَاقُ بَعْدَ مَوْتِ أُمِّهِ. | ٦٧ 67 |
And Isaac took Rebekah into his tent and she became his wife; and in his love for her, Isaac was comforted after his father's death.
