اَلتَّكْوِينُ 24
| وَشَاخَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَتَقَدَّمَ فِي ٱلْأَيَّامِ. وَبَارَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ. | ١ 1 |
Abraham [Father of a multitude] was old, and well stricken in age. Adonai had blessed Abraham [Father of a multitude] in all things.
| وَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ لِعَبْدِهِ كَبِيرِ بَيْتِهِ ٱلْمُسْتَوْلِي عَلَى كُلِّ مَا كَانَ لَهُ: «ضَعْ يَدَكَ تَحْتَ فَخْذِي، | ٢ 2 |
Abraham [Father of a multitude] said to his servant, the elder of his house, who ruled over all that he had, “Please put your hand under my thigh.
| فَأَسْتَحْلِفَكَ بِٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَإِلَهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ أَنْ لَا تَأْخُذَ زَوْجَةً لِٱبْنِي مِنْ بَنَاتِ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنَا سَاكِنٌ بَيْنَهُمْ، | ٣ 3 |
I will make you swear by Adonai, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you shall not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites [Descendants of Humbled], among whom I live.
| بَلْ إِلَى أَرْضِي وَإِلَى عَشِيرَتِي تَذْهَبُ وَتَأْخُذُ زَوْجَةً لِٱبْنِي إِسْحَاقَ». | ٤ 4 |
But you shall go to my country, and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son Isaac [Laughter].”
| فَقَالَ لَهُ ٱلْعَبْدُ: «رُبَّمَا لَا تَشَاءُ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ أَنْ تَتْبَعَنِي إِلَى هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. هَلْ أَرْجِعُ بِٱبْنِكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي خَرَجْتَ مِنْهَا؟» | ٥ 5 |
The servant said to him, “What if the woman is not willing to follow me to this land? Must I bring your son again to the land you came from?”
| فَقَالَ لَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ: «ٱحْتَرِزْ مِنْ أَنْ تَرْجِعَ بِٱبْنِي إِلَى هُنَاكَ. | ٦ 6 |
Abraham [Father of a multitude] said to him, “Beware that you don’t bring my son there again.
| 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 |
Adonai, the God of heaven, who took me from my father’s house, and from the land of my birth, who spoke to me, and who swore to me, saying, ‘I will give this land to your offspring. He will send his angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there.
| وَإِنْ لَمْ تَشَإِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ أَنْ تَتْبَعَكَ، تَبَرَّأْتَ مِنْ حَلْفِي هَذَا. أَمَّا ٱبْنِي فَلَا تَرْجِعْ بِهِ إِلَى هُنَاكَ». | ٨ 8 |
If the woman is not willing to follow you, then you shall be clear from this oath to me. Only you shall not bring my son there again.”
| فَوَضَعَ ٱلْعَبْدُ يَدَهُ تَحْتَ فَخْذِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مَوْلَاهُ، وَحَلَفَ لَهُ عَلَى هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرِ. | ٩ 9 |
The servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham [Father of a multitude] his master, and swore to him concerning this matter.
| ثُمَّ أَخَذَ ٱلْعَبْدُ عَشْرَةَ جِمَالٍ مِنْ جِمَالِ مَوْلَاهُ، وَمَضَى وَجَمِيعُ خَيْرَاتِ مَوْلَاهُ فِي يَدِهِ. فَقَامَ وَذَهَبَ إِلَى أَرَامِ ٱلنَّهْرَيْنِ إِلَى مَدِينَةِ نَاحُورَ. | ١٠ 10 |
The servant took ten camels, of his master’s camels, and departed, having a variety of good things of his master’s with him. He arose, and went to Mesopotamia, to the city of Nahor.
| وَأَنَاخَ ٱلْجِمَالَ خَارِجَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ عِنْدَ بِئْرِ ٱلْمَاءِ وَقْتَ ٱلْمَسَاءِ، وَقْتَ خُرُوجِ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيَاتِ. | ١١ 11 |
He made the camels kneel down outside the city by the well of water at the time of evening, the time that women go out to draw water.
| وَقَالَ: «أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهَ سَيِّدِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ، يَسِّرْ لِي ٱلْيَوْمَ وَٱصْنَعْ لُطْفًا إِلَى سَيِّدِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ. | ١٢ 12 |
He said, “Adonai, the God of my master Abraham [Father of a multitude], please give me success today, and show chesed ·loving-kindness· to my master Abraham [Father of a multitude].
| هَا أَنَا وَاقِفٌ عَلَى عَيْنِ ٱلْمَاءِ، وَبَنَاتُ أَهْلِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ خَارِجَاتٌ لِيَسْتَقِينَ مَاءً. | ١٣ 13 |
Behold, I am standing by the spring of water. The daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw 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 |
Let it happen, that the young lady to whom I will say, ‘Please let down your pitcher, that I may drink,’ and she will say, ‘Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink,’ —let her be the one you have appointed for your servant Isaac [Laughter]. By this I will know that you have shown chesed ·loving-kindness· to my master.”
| وَإِذْ كَانَ لَمْ يَفْرَغْ بَعْدُ مِنَ ٱلْكَلَامِ، إِذَا رِفْقَةُ ٱلَّتِي وُلِدَتْ لِبَتُوئِيلَ ٱبْنِ مِلْكَةَ ٱمْرَأَةِ نَاحُورَ أَخِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ، خَارِجَةٌ وَجَرَّتُهَا عَلَى كَتِفِهَا. | ١٥ 15 |
Before he had finished speaking, behold, Rebekah [Securely bound] came out, who was born to Bethuel the son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham [Father of a multitude]’s brother, with her pitcher on her shoulder.
| وَكَانَتِ ٱلْفَتَاةُ حَسَنَةَ ٱلْمَنْظَرِ جِدًّا، وَعَذْرَاءَ لَمْ يَعْرِفْهَا رَجُلٌ. فَنَزَلَتْ إِلَى ٱلْعَيْنِ وَمَلَأَتْ جَرَّتَهَا وَطَلَعَتْ. | ١٦ 16 |
The young lady was very beautiful to look at, a virgin. No man had known her. She went down to the spring, filled her pitcher, and came up.
| فَرَكَضَ ٱلْعَبْدُ لِلِقَائِهَا وَقَالَ: «ٱسْقِينِي قَلِيلَ مَاءٍ مِنْ جَرَّتِكِ». | ١٧ 17 |
The servant ran to meet her, and said, “Please give me a drink, a little water from your pitcher.”
| فَقَالَتِ: «ٱشْرَبْ يَا سَيِّدِي». وَأَسْرَعَتْ وَأَنْزَلَتْ جَرَّتَهَا عَلَى يَدِهَا وَسَقَتْهُ. | ١٨ 18 |
She said, “Drink, my lord.” She hurried, and let down her pitcher on her hand, and gave him drink.
| وَلَمَّا فَرَغَتْ مِنْ سَقْيِهِ قَالَتْ: «أَسْتَقِي لِجِمَالِكَ أَيْضًا حَتَّى تَفْرَغَ مِنَ ٱلشُّرْبِ». | ١٩ 19 |
When she had done giving him drink, she said, “I will also draw for your camels, until they have done drinking.”
| فَأَسْرَعَتْ وَأَفْرَغَتْ جَرَّتَهَا فِي ٱلْمَسْقَاةِ، وَرَكَضَتْ أَيْضًا إِلَى ٱلْبِئْرِ لِتَسْتَقِيَ، فَٱسْتَقَتْ لِكُلِّ جِمَالِهِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
She hurried, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again to the well to draw, and drew for all his camels.
| وَٱلرَّجُلُ يَتَفَرَّسُ فِيهَا صَامِتًا لِيَعْلَمَ: أَأَنْجَحَ ٱلرَّبُّ طَرِيقَهُ أَمْ لَا. | ٢١ 21 |
The man looked steadfastly at her, remaining silent, to know whether Adonai had made his journey prosperous or not.
| وَحَدَثَ عِنْدَمَا فَرَغَتِ ٱلْجِمَالُ مِنَ ٱلشُّرْبِ أَنَّ ٱلرَّجُلَ أَخَذَ خِزَامَةَ ذَهَبٍ وَزْنُهَا نِصْفُ شَاقِلٍ وَسِوَارَيْنِ عَلَى يَدَيْهَا وَزْنُهُمَا عَشْرَةُ شَوَاقِلِ ذَهَبٍ. | ٢٢ 22 |
As the camels had done drinking, the man took a golden ring of half a shekel [0.2 oz; 5.67 g], and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels [4 oz; 113.4 g] of gold,
| وَقَالَ: «بِنْتُ مَنْ أَنْتِ؟ أَخْبِرِينِي: هَلْ فِي بَيْتِ أَبِيكِ مَكَانٌ لَنَا لِنَبِيتَ؟» | ٢٣ 23 |
and said, “Whose daughter are you? Please tell me. Is there room in your father’s house for us to lodge in?”
| فَقَالَتْ لَهُ: «أَنَا بِنْتُ بَتُوئِيلَ ٱبْنِ مِلْكَةَ ٱلَّذِي وَلَدَتْهُ لِنَاحُورَ». | ٢٤ 24 |
She said to him, “I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor.”
| وَقَالَتْ لَهُ: «عِنْدَنَا تِبْنٌ وَعَلَفٌ كَثِيرٌ، وَمَكَانٌ لِتَبِيتُوا أَيْضًا». | ٢٥ 25 |
She said moreover to him, “We have both straw and feed enough, and room to lodge in.”
| فَخَرَّ ٱلرَّجُلُ وَسَجَدَ لِلرَّبِّ، | ٢٦ 26 |
The man bowed his head, and worshiped Adonai.
| 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 |
He said, “Blessed be Adonai, the God of my master Abraham [Father of a multitude], who has not forsaken his chesed ·loving-kindness· and his truth toward my master. As for me, Adonai has led me on the way to the house of my master’s relatives.”
| فَرَكَضَتِ ٱلْفَتَاةُ وَأَخْبَرَتْ بَيْتَ أُمِّهَا بِحَسَبِ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ. | ٢٨ 28 |
The young lady ran, and told her mother’s house about these words.
| وَكَانَ لِرِفْقَةَ أَخٌ ٱسْمُهُ لَابَانُ، فَرَكَضَ لَابَانُ إِلَى ٱلرَّجُلِ خَارِجًا إِلَى ٱلْعَيْنِ. | ٢٩ 29 |
Rebekah [Securely bound] had a brother, and his name was Laban [White]. Laban [White] ran out to the man, to the 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 |
When he saw the ring, and the bracelets on his sister’s hands, and when he sh'ma ·heard obeyed· the words of Rebekah [Securely bound] his sister, saying, “This is what the man said to me,” he came to the man. Behold, he was standing by the camels at the spring.
| فَقَالَ: «ٱدْخُلْ يَا مُبَارَكَ ٱلرَّبِّ، لِمَاذَا تَقِفُ خَارِجًا وَأَنَا قَدْ هَيَّأْتُ ٱلْبَيْتَ وَمَكَانًا لِلْجِمَالِ؟». | ٣١ 31 |
He said, “Come in, you blessed of Adonai. Why do you stand outside? For I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.”
| فَدَخَلَ ٱلرَّجُلُ إِلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ وَحَلَّ عَنِ ٱلْجِمَالِ، فَأَعْطَى تِبْنًا وَعَلَفًا لِلْجِمَالِ، وَمَاءً لِغَسْلِ رِجْلَيْهِ وَأَرْجُلِ ٱلرِّجَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ. | ٣٢ 32 |
The man came into the house, and he unloaded the camels. He gave straw and feed for the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men who were with him.
| وَوُضِعَ قُدَّامَهُ لِيَأْكُلَ. فَقَالَ: «لَا آكُلُ حَتَّى أَتَكَلَّمَ كَلَامِي». فَقَالَ: «تَكَلَّمْ». | ٣٣ 33 |
Food was set before him to eat, but he said, “I will not eat until I have told my message.” He said, “Speak on.”
| فَقَالَ: «أَنَا عَبْدُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، | ٣٤ 34 |
He said, “I am Abraham [Father of a multitude]’s servant.
| وَٱلرَّبُّ قَدْ بَارَكَ مَوْلَايَ جِدًّا فَصَارَ عَظِيمًا، وَأَعْطَاهُ غَنَمًا وَبَقَرًا وَفِضَّةً وَذَهَبًا وَعَبِيدًا وَإِمَاءً وَجِمَالًا وَحَمِيرًا. | ٣٥ 35 |
Adonai has blessed my master greatly. He has become great. He has given him flocks and herds, silver and gold, male servants and female servants, and camels and donkeys.
| وَوَلَدَتْ سَارَةُ ٱمْرَأَةُ سَيِّدِي ٱبْنًا لِسَيِّدِي بَعْدَ مَاشَاخَتْ، فَقَدْ أَعْطَاهُ كُلَّ مَا لَهُ. | ٣٦ 36 |
Sarah [Princess], my master’s wife, bore a son to my master when she was old. He has given all that he has to him.
| وَٱسْتَحْلَفَنِي سَيِّدِي قَائِلًا: لَا تَأْخُذْ زَوْجَةً لِٱبْنِي مِنْ بَنَاتِ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنَا سَاكِنٌ فِي أَرْضِهِمْ، | ٣٧ 37 |
My master made me swear, saying, ‘You shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites [Descendants of Humbled], in whose land I live,
| بَلْ إِلَى بَيْتِ أَبِي تَذْهَبُ وَإِلَى عَشِيرَتِي، وَتَأْخُذُ زَوْجَةً لِٱبْنِي. | ٣٨ 38 |
but you shall go to my father’s house, and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son.’
| فَقُلْتُ لِسَيِّدِي: رُبَّمَا لَا تَتْبَعُنِي ٱلْمَرْأَةُ. | ٣٩ 39 |
I asked my master, ‘What if the woman will not follow me?’
| فَقَالَ لِي: إِنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ ٱلَّذِي سِرْتُ أَمَامَهُ يُرْسِلُ مَلَاكَهُ مَعَكَ وَيُنْجِحُ طَرِيقَكَ، فَتَأْخُذُ زَوْجَةً لِٱبْنِي مِنْ عَشِيرَتِي وَمِنْ بَيْتِ أَبِي. | ٤٠ 40 |
He said to me, ‘Adonai, before whom I walk, will send his angel with you, and prosper your way. You shall take a wife for my son from my relatives, and of my father’s house.
| حِينَئِذٍ تَتَبَرَّأُ مِنْ حَلْفِي حِينَمَا تَجِيءُ إِلَى عَشِيرَتِي. وَإِنْ لَمْ يُعْطُوكَ فَتَكُونُ بَرِيئًا مِنْ حَلْفِي. | ٤١ 41 |
Then will you be clear from my oath, when you come to my relatives. If they don’t give her to you, you shall be clear from my oath.’
| فَجِئْتُ ٱلْيَوْمَ إِلَى ٱلْعَيْنِ، وَقُلْتُ: أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ سَيِّدِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ، إِنْ كُنْتَ تُنْجِحُ طَرِيقِي ٱلَّذِي أَنَا سَالِكٌ فِيهِ، | ٤٢ 42 |
I came today to the spring, and said, ‘Adonai, the God of my master Abraham [Father of a multitude], if now you do prosper my way which I go—
| فَهَا أَنَا وَاقِفٌ عَلَى عَيْنِ ٱلْمَاءِ، وَلْيَكُنْ أَنَّ ٱلْفَتَاةَ ٱلَّتِي تَخْرُجُ لِتَسْتَقِيَ وَأَقُولُ لَهَا: ٱسْقِينِي قَلِيلَ مَاءٍ مِنْ جَرَّتِكِ، | ٤٣ 43 |
behold, I am standing by this spring of water. Let it happen, that the maiden who comes out to draw, to whom I will say, “Please give me a little water from your pitcher to drink,”
| فَتَقُولَ لِيَ: ٱشْرَبْ أَنْتَ، وَأَنَا أَسْتَقِي لِجِمَالِكَ أَيْضًا، هِيَ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ ٱلَّتِي عَيَّنَهَا ٱلرَّبُّ لِٱبْنِ سَيِّدِي. | ٤٤ 44 |
and she will tell me, “Drink, and I will also draw for your camels,”— let her be the woman whom Adonai has appointed 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 |
Before I had finished speaking in my heart, behold, Rebekah [Securely bound] came out with her pitcher on her shoulder. She went down to the spring, and drew. I said to her, ‘Please let me drink.’
| فَأَسْرَعَتْ وَأَنْزَلَتْ جَرَّتَهَا عَنْهَا وَقَالَتِ: ٱشْرَبْ وَأَنَا أَسْقِي جِمَالَكَ أَيْضًا. فَشَرِبْتُ، وَسَقَتِ ٱلْجِمَالَ أَيْضًا. | ٤٦ 46 |
She hurried and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, ‘Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink.’ So I drank, and she also gave the camels a drink.
| فَسَأَلْتُهَا وَقُلتُ: بِنْتُ مَنْ أَنْتِ؟ فَقَالَتْ: بِنْتُ بَتُوئِيلَ بْنِ نَاحُورَ ٱلَّذِي وَلَدَتْهُ لَهُ مِلْكَةُ. فَوَضَعْتُ ٱلْخِزَامَةَ فِي أَنْفِهَا وَٱلسِّوَارَيْنِ عَلَى يَدَيْهَا. | ٤٧ 47 |
I asked her, and said, ‘Whose daughter are you?’ She said, ‘The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor’s son, whom Milcah bore to him.’ I put the ring on her nose, and the bracelets on her hands.
| وَخَرَرْتُ وَسَجَدْتُ لِلرَّبِّ، وَبَارَكْتُ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَ سَيِّدِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ ٱلَّذِي هَدَانِي فِي طَرِيقٍ أَمِينٍ لِآخُذَ ٱبْنَةَ أَخِي سَيِّدِي لِٱبْنِهِ. | ٤٨ 48 |
I bowed my head, and worshiped Adonai, and blessed Adonai, the God of my master Abraham [Father of a multitude], who had led me in the right way to take my master’s brother’s daughter for his son.
| وَٱلْآنَ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَصْنَعُونَ مَعْرُوفًا وَأَمَانَةً إِلَى سَيِّدِي فَأَخْبِرُونِي، وَإِلَا فَأَخْبِرُونِي لِأَنْصَرِفَ يَمِينًا أَوْ شِمَالًا». | ٤٩ 49 |
Now if you will deal with chesed ·loving-kindness· and truly with my master, tell me. If not, tell me, that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left.”
| فَأَجَابَ لَابَانُ وَبَتُوئِيلُ وَقَالَا: «مِنْ عِنْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ خَرَجَ ٱلْأَمْرُ. لَا نَقْدِرُ أَنْ نُكَلِّمَكَ بِشَرٍّ أَوْ خَيْرٍ. | ٥٠ 50 |
Then Laban [White] and Bethuel answered, “The thing proceeds from Adonai. We can’t speak to you bad or good.
| هُوَذَا رِفْقَةُ قُدَّامَكَ. خُذْهَا وَٱذْهَبْ. فَلْتَكُنْ زَوْجَةً لِٱبْنِ سَيِّدِكَ، كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ». | ٥١ 51 |
Behold, Rebekah [Securely bound] is before you. Take her, and go, and let her be your master’s son’s wife, as Adonai has spoken.”
| وَكَانَ عِنْدَمَا سَمِعَ عَبْدُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ كَلَامَهُمْ أَنَّهُ سَجَدَ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٥٢ 52 |
When Abraham [Father of a multitude]’s servant sh'ma ·heard obeyed· their words, he bowed himself down to the earth to Adonai.
| وَأَخْرَجَ ٱلْعَبْدُ آنِيَةَ فِضَّةٍ وَآنِيَةَ ذَهَبٍ وَثِيَابًا وَأَعْطَاهَا لِرِفْقَةَ، وَأَعْطَى تُحَفًا لِأَخِيهَا وَلِأُمِّهَا. | ٥٣ 53 |
The servant brought out jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and clothing, and gave them to Rebekah [Securely bound]. He also gave precious things to her brother and her mother.
| فَأَكَلَ وَشَرِبَ هُوَ وَٱلرِّجَالُ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ وَبَاتُوا. ثُمَّ قَامُوا صَبَاحًا فَقَالَ: «ٱصْرِفُونِي إِلَى سَيِّدِي». | ٥٤ 54 |
They ate and drank, he and the men who were with him, and stayed all night. They rose up in the morning, and he said, “Send me away to my master.”
| فَقَالَ أَخُوهَا وَأُمُّهَا: «لِتَمْكُثِ ٱلْفَتَاةُ عِنْدَنَا أَيَّامًا أَوْ عَشْرَةً، بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ تَمْضِي». | ٥٥ 55 |
Her brother and her mother said, “Let the young lady stay with us a few days, at least ten. After that she will go.”
| فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لَا تُعَوِّقُونِي وَٱلرَّبُّ قَدْ أَنْجَحَ طَرِيقِي. اِصْرِفُونِي لِأَذْهَبَ إِلَى سَيِّدِي». | ٥٦ 56 |
He said to them, “Don’t hinder me, since Adonai has prospered my way. Send me away that I may go to my master.”
| فَقَالُوا: «نَدْعُو ٱلْفَتَاةَ وَنَسْأَلُهَا شِفَاهًا». | ٥٧ 57 |
They said, “We will call the young lady, and ask her.”
| فَدَعَوْا رِفْقَةَ وَقَالُوا لَهَا: «هَلْ تَذْهَبِينَ مَعَ هَذَا ٱلرَّجُلِ؟» فَقَالَتْ: «أَذْهَبُ». | ٥٨ 58 |
They called Rebekah [Securely bound], and said to her, “Will you go with this man?” She said, “I will go.”
| فَصَرَفُوا رِفْقَةَ أُخْتَهُمْ وَمُرْضِعَتَهَا وَعَبْدَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَرِجَالَهُ. | ٥٩ 59 |
They sent away Rebekah [Securely bound], their sister, with her nurse, Abraham [Father of a multitude]’s servant, and his men.
| وَبَارَكُوا رِفْقَةَ وَقَالُوا لَهَا: «أَنْتِ أُخْتُنَا. صِيرِي أُلُوفَ رِبْوَاتٍ، وَلْيَرِثْ نَسْلُكِ بَابَ مُبْغِضِيهِ». | ٦٠ 60 |
They blessed Rebekah [Securely bound], and said to her, “Our sister, may you be the mother of thousands of ten thousands, and let your offspring possess the gate of those who hate them.”
| فَقَامَتْ رِفْقَةُ وَفَتَيَاتُهَا وَرَكِبْنَ عَلَى ٱلْجِمَالِ وَتَبِعْنَ ٱلرَّجُلَ. فَأَخَذَ ٱلْعَبْدُ رِفْقَةَ وَمَضَى. | ٦١ 61 |
Rebekah [Securely bound] arose with her ladies. They rode on the camels, and followed the man. The servant took Rebekah [Securely bound], and went his way.
| وَكَانَ إِسْحَاقُ قَدْ أَتَى مِنْ وُرُودِ بِئْرِ لَحَيْ رُئِي، إِذْ كَانَ سَاكِنًا فِي أَرْضِ ٱلْجَنُوبِ. | ٦٢ 62 |
Isaac [Laughter] came from the way of Beer Lahai Roi [Well of the one who lives and sees], for he lived in the land of the South.
| وَخَرَجَ إِسْحَاقُ لِيَتَأَمَّلَ فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ عِنْدَ إِقْبَالِ ٱلْمَسَاءِ، فَرَفَعَ عَيْنَيْهِ وَنَظَرَ وَإِذَا جِمَالٌ مُقْبِلَةٌ. | ٦٣ 63 |
Isaac [Laughter] went out to meditate in the field at the evening. He lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, there were camels coming.
| وَرَفَعَتْ رِفْقَةُ عَيْنَيْهَا فَرَأَتْ إِسْحَاقَ فَنَزَلَتْ عَنِ ٱلْجَمَلِ. | ٦٤ 64 |
Rebekah [Securely bound] lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac [Laughter], she dismounted from the camel.
| وَقَالَتْ لِلْعَبْدِ: «مَنْ هَذَا ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلْمَاشِي فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ لِلِقَائِنَا؟» فَقَالَ ٱلْعَبْدُ: «هُوَ سَيِّدِي». فَأَخَذَتِ ٱلْبُرْقُعَ وَتَغَطَّتْ. | ٦٥ 65 |
She said to the servant, “Who is the man who is walking in the field to meet us?” The servant said, “It is my master.” She took her veil, and covered herself.
| ثُمَّ حَدَّثَ ٱلْعَبْدُ إِسْحَاقَ بِكُلِّ ٱلْأُمُورِ ٱلَّتِي صَنَعَ، | ٦٦ 66 |
The servant told Isaac [Laughter] all the things that he had done.
| فَأَدْخَلَهَا إِسْحَاقُ إِلَى خِبَاءِ سَارَةَ أُمِّهِ، وَأَخَذَ رِفْقَةَ فَصَارَتْ لَهُ زَوْجَةً وَأَحَبَّهَا. فَتَعَزَّى إِسْحَاقُ بَعْدَ مَوْتِ أُمِّهِ. | ٦٧ 67 |
Isaac [Laughter] brought her into his mother Sarah [Princess]’s tent, and took Rebekah [Securely bound], and she became his wife. He 'ahav ·affectionately loved· her. Isaac [Laughter] was comforted after his mother’s death.
