اَلتَّكْوِينُ 27
| وَحَدَثَ لَمَّا شَاخَ إِسْحَاقُ وَكَلَّتْ عَيْنَاهُ عَنِ ٱلنَّظَرِ، أَنَّهُ دَعَا عِيسُوَ ٱبْنَهُ ٱلْأَكْبَرَ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «يَا ٱبْنِي». فَقَالَ لَهُ: «هَأَنَذَا». | ١ 1 |
Now Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, and he could not see: and he called Esau, his elder son, and said to him: My son? And he answered: Here I am.
| فَقَالَ: «إِنَّنِي قَدْ شِخْتُ وَلَسْتُ أَعْرِفُ يَوْمَ وَفَاتِي. | ٢ 2 |
And his father said to him: Thou seest that I am old, and know not the day of my death.
| فَٱلْآنَ خُذْ عُدَّتَكَ: جُعْبَتَكَ وَقَوْسَكَ، وَٱخْرُجْ إِلَى ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ وَتَصَيَّدْ لِي صَيْدًا، | ٣ 3 |
Take thy arms, thy quiver, and bow, and go abroad: and when thou hast taken some thing by hunting,
| وَٱصْنَعْ لِي أَطْعِمَةً كَمَا أُحِبُّ، وَأْتِنِي بِهَا لِآكُلَ حَتَّى تُبَارِكَكَ نَفْسِي قَبْلَ أَنْ أَمُوتَ». | ٤ 4 |
Make me savoury meat thereof, as thou knowest I like, and bring it, that I may eat: and my soul may bless thee before I die.
| وَكَانَتْ رِفْقَةُ سَامِعَةً إِذْ تَكَلَّمَ إِسْحَاقُ مَعَ عِيسُو ٱبْنِهِ. فَذَهَبَ عِيسُو إِلَى ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ كَيْ يَصْطَادَ صَيْدًا لِيَأْتِيَ بِهِ. | ٥ 5 |
And when Rebecca had heard this, and he was gone into the field to fulfill his father’s commandment,
| وَأَمَّا رِفْقَةُ فَكَلمتْ يَعْقُوبَ ٱبْنِهَا قَائِلةً: «إِنِّي قَدْ سَمِعْتُ أَبَاكَ يُكَلِّمُ عِيسُوَ أَخَاكَ قَائِلًا: | ٦ 6 |
She said to her son Jacob: I heard thy father talking with Esau thy brother, and saying to him:
| ٱئْتِنِي بِصَيْدٍ وَٱصْنَعْ لِي أَطْعِمَةً لِآكُلَ وَأُبَارِكَكَ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ قَبْلَ وَفَاتِي. | ٧ 7 |
Bring me of thy hunting, and make me meats that I may eat, and bless thee in the sight of the Lord, before I die.
| فَٱلْآنَ يَا ٱبْنِي ٱسْمَعْ لِقَوْلِي فِي مَا أَنَا آمُرُكَ بِهِ: | ٨ 8 |
Now, therefore, my son, follow my counsel:
| اِذْهَبْ إِلَى ٱلْغَنَمِ وَخُذْ لِي مِنْ هُنَاكَ جَدْيَيْنِ جَيِّدَيْنِ مِنَ ٱلْمِعْزَى، فَأَصْنَعَهُمَا أَطْعِمَةً لِأَبِيكَ كَمَا يُحِبُّ، | ٩ 9 |
And go thy way to the flock, bring me two kids of the best, that I may make of them meat for thy father, such as he gladly eateth:
| فَتُحْضِرَهَا إِلَى أَبِيكَ لِيَأْكُلَ حَتَّى يُبَارِكَكَ قَبْلَ وَفَاتِهِ». | ١٠ 10 |
Which when thou hast brought in, and he hath eaten, he may bless thee before he die.
| فَقَالَ يَعْقُوبُ لِرِفْقَةَ أُمِّهِ: «هُوَذَا عِيسُو أَخِي رَجُلٌ أَشْعَرُ وَأَنَا رَجُلٌ أَمْلَسُ. | ١١ 11 |
And he answered her: Thou knowest that Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am smooth.
| رُبَّمَا يَجُسُّنِي أَبِي فَأَكُونُ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ كَمُتَهَاوِنٍ، وَأَجْلِبُ عَلَى نَفْسِي لَعْنَةً لَا بَرَكَةً». | ١٢ 12 |
If my father shall feel me, and perceive it, I fear lest he will think I would have mocked him, and I shall bring upon me a curse instead of a blessing.
| فَقَالَتْ لَهُ أُمُّهُ: «لَعْنَتُكَ عَلَيَّ يَا ٱبْنِي. اِسْمَعْ لِقَوْلِي فَقَطْ وَٱذْهَبْ خُذْ لِي». | ١٣ 13 |
And his mother said to him: Upon me be this curse, my son: only hear thou my voice, and go, fetch me the things which I have said.
| فَذَهَبَ وَأَخَذَ وَأَحْضَرَ لِأُمِّهِ، فَصَنَعَتْ أُمُّهُ أَطْعِمَةً كَمَا كَانَ أَبُوهُ يُحِبُّ. | ١٤ 14 |
He went, and brought, and gave them to his mother. She dressed meats, such as she knew his father liked.
| وَأَخَذَتْ رِفْقَةُ ثِيَابَ عِيسُو ٱبْنِهَا ٱلْأَكْبَرِ ٱلْفَاخِرَةَ ٱلَّتِي كَانَتْ عِنْدَهَا فِي ٱلْبَيْتِ وَأَلْبَسَتْ يَعْقُوبَ ٱبْنَهَا ٱلْأَصْغَرَ، | ١٥ 15 |
And she put on him very good garments of Esau, which she had at home with her:
| وَأَلْبَسَتْ يَدَيْهِ وَمَلَاسَةَ عُنُقِهِ جُلُودَ جَدْيَيِ ٱلْمِعْزَى. | ١٦ 16 |
And the little skins of the kids she put about his hands, and covered the bare of his neck.
| وَأَعْطَتِ ٱلْأَطْعِمَةَ وَٱلْخُبْزَ ٱلَّتِي صَنَعَتْ فِي يَدِ يَعْقُوبَ ٱبْنِهَا. | ١٧ 17 |
And she gave him the savoury meat, and delivered him bread that she had baked.
| فَدَخَلَ إِلَى أَبِيهِ وَقَالَ: «يَا أَبِي». فَقَالَ: «هَأَنَذَا. مَنْ أَنْتَ يَا ٱبْنِي؟». | ١٨ 18 |
Which when he had carried in, he said: My father? But he answered: I hear. Who art thou, my son?
| فَقَالَ يَعْقُوبُ لِأَبِيهِ: «أَنَا عِيسُو بِكْرُكَ. قَدْ فَعَلْتُ كَمَا كَلَّمْتَنِي. قُمِ ٱجْلِسْ وَكُلْ مِنْ صَيْدِي لِكَيْ تُبَارِكَنِي نَفْسُكَ». | ١٩ 19 |
And Jacob said: I am Esau thy firstborn: I have done as thou didst command me: arise, sit, and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me.
| فَقَالَ إِسْحَاقُ لِٱبْنِهِ: «مَا هَذَا ٱلَّذِي أَسْرَعْتَ لِتَجِدَ يَا ٱبْنِي؟». فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ قَدْ يَسَّرَ لِي». | ٢٠ 20 |
And Isaac said to his son: How couldst thou find it so quickly, my son? He answered: It was the will of God, that what I sought came quickly in my way.
| فَقَالَ إِسْحَاقُ لِيَعْقُوبَ: «تَقَدَّمْ لِأَجُسَّكَ يَا ٱبْنِي. أَأَنْتَ هُوَ ٱبْنِي عِيسُو أَمْ لَا؟». | ٢١ 21 |
And Isaac said: Come hither, that I may feel thee, my son, and may prove whether thou be my son Esau, or not.
| فَتَقَدَّمَ يَعْقُوبُ إِلَى إِسْحَاقَ أَبِيهِ، فَجَسَّهُ وَقَالَ: «ٱلصَّوْتُ صَوْتُ يَعْقُوبَ، وَلَكِنَّ ٱلْيَدَيْنِ يَدَا عِيسُو». | ٢٢ 22 |
He came near to his father, and when he had felt him, Isaac said: The voice indeed is the voice of Jacob; but the hands are the hands of Esau.
| وَلَمْ يَعْرِفْهُ لِأَنَّ يَدَيْهِ كَانَتَا مُشْعِرَتَيْنِ كَيَدَيْ عِيسُو أَخِيهِ، فَبَارَكَهُ. | ٢٣ 23 |
And he knew him not, because his hairy hands made him like to the elder. Then blessing him,
| وَقَالَ: «هَلْ أَنْتَ هُوَ ٱبْنِي عِيسُو؟». فَقَالَ: «أَنَا هُوَ». | ٢٤ 24 |
He said: Art thou my son Esau? He answered: I am.
| فَقَالَ: «قَدِّمْ لِي لِآكُلَ مِنْ صَيْدِ ٱبْنِي حَتَّى تُبَارِكَكَ نَفْسِي». فَقَدَّمَ لَهُ فَأَكَلَ، وَأَحْضَرَ لَهُ خَمْرًا فَشَرِبَ. | ٢٥ 25 |
Then he said: Bring me the meats of thy hunting, my son, that my soul may bless thee. And when they were brought, and he had eaten, he offered him wine also, which after he had drunk,
| فَقَالَ لَهُ إِسْحَاقُ أَبُوهُ: «تَقَدَّمْ وَقَبِّلْنِي يَا ٱبْنِي». | ٢٦ 26 |
He said to him: Come near me, and give me a kiss, my son.
| فَتَقَدَّمَ وَقَبَّلَهُ، فَشَمَّ رَائِحَةَ ثِيَابِهِ وَبَارَكَهُ، وَقَالَ: «ٱنْظُرْ! رَائِحَةُ ٱبْنِي كَرَائِحَةِ حَقْلٍ قَدْ بَارَكَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٢٧ 27 |
He came near, and kissed him. And immediately as he smelled the fragrant smell of his garments, blessing him, he said: Behold the smell of my son is as the smell of a plentiful field, which the Lord hath blessed.
| فَلْيُعْطِكَ ٱللهُ مِنْ نَدَى ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَمِنْ دَسَمِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. وَكَثْرَةَ حِنْطَةٍ وَخَمْرٍ. | ٢٨ 28 |
God give thee the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth, abundance of corn and wine.
| لِيُسْتَعْبَدْ لَكَ شُعُوبٌ، وَتَسْجُدْ لَكَ قَبَائِلُ. كُنْ سَيِّدًا لِإِخْوَتِكَ، وَلْيَسْجُدْ لَكَ بَنُو أُمِّكَ. لِيَكُنْ لَاعِنُوكَ مَلْعُونِينَ، وَمُبَارِكُوكَ مُبَارَكِينَ». | ٢٩ 29 |
And let peoples serve thee, and tribes worship thee: be thou lord of thy brethren, and let thy mother’s children bow down before thee. Cursed be he that curseth thee: and let him that blesseth thee be filled with blessings.
| وَحَدَثَ عِنْدَمَا فَرَغَ إِسْحَاقُ مِنْ بَرَكَةِ يَعْقُوبَ، وَيَعْقُوبُ قَدْ خَرَجَ مِنْ لَدُنْ إِسْحَاقَ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ عِيسُوَ أَخَاهُ أَتَى مِنْ صَيْدِهِ، | ٣٠ 30 |
Isaac had scarce ended his words, when Jacob being now gone out abroad, Esau came,
| فَصَنَعَ هُوَ أَيْضًا أَطْعِمَةً وَدَخَلَ بِهَا إِلَى أَبِيهِ وَقَالَ لِأَبِيهِ: «لِيَقُمْ أَبِي وَيَأْكُلْ مِنْ صَيْدِ ٱبْنِهِ حَتَّى تُبَارِكَنِي نَفْسُكَ». | ٣١ 31 |
And brought in to his father meats made of what he had taken in hunting, saying: Arise, my father, and eat of thy son’s venison; that thy soul may bless me.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ إِسْحَاقُ أَبُوهُ: «مَنْ أَنْتَ؟» فَقَالَ: «أَنَا ٱبْنُكَ بِكْرُكَ عِيسُو». | ٣٢ 32 |
And Isaac said to him: Why! who art thou? He answered: I am thy firstborn son Esau.
| فَٱرْتَعَدَ إِسْحَاقُ ٱرْتِعَادًا عَظِيمًا جِدًّا وَقَالَ: «فَمَنْ هُوَ ٱلَّذِي ٱصْطَادَ صَيْدًا وَأَتَى بِهِ إِلَيَّ فَأَكَلْتُ مِنَ ٱلْكُلِّ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَجِيءَ، وَبَارَكْتُهُ؟ نَعَمْ، وَيَكُونُ مُبَارَكًا». | ٣٣ 33 |
Isaac was struck with fear, and astonished exceedingly: and wondering beyond what can be believed, said Who is he then that even now brought me venison that he had taken, and I ate of all before thou camest? and I have blessed him, and he shall be blessed.
| فَعِنْدَمَا سَمِعَ عِيسُو كَلَامَ أَبِيهِ صَرَخَ صَرْخَةً عَظِيمَةً وَمُرَّةً جِدًّا، وَقَالَ لِأَبِيهِ: «بَارِكْنِي أَنَا أَيْضًا يَا أَبِي». | ٣٤ 34 |
Esau having heard his father’s words, roared out with a great cry: and being in a great consternation, said: Bless me also, my father.
| فَقَالَ: «قَدْ جَاءَ أَخُوكَ بِمَكْرٍ وَأَخَذَ بَرَكَتَكَ». | ٣٥ 35 |
And he said: Thy brother came deceitfully and got thy blessing.
| فَقَالَ: «أَلَا إِنَّ ٱسْمَهُ دُعِيَ يَعْقُوبَ، فَقَدْ تَعَقَّبَنِي ٱلْآنَ مَرَّتَيْنِ! أَخَذَ بَكُورِيَّتِي، وَهُوَذَا ٱلْآنَ قَدْ أَخَذَ بَرَكَتِي». ثُمَّ قَالَ: «أَمَا أَبْقَيْتَ لِي بَرَكَةً؟». | ٣٦ 36 |
But he said again: Rightly is his name called Jacob; for he hath supplanted me lo this second time: my first birthright he took away before, and now this second time he hath stolen away my blessing. And again he said to his father: Hast thou not reserved me also a blessing?
| فَأَجَابَ إِسْحَاقُ وَقَالَ لِعِيسُو: «إِنِّي قَدْ جَعَلْتُهُ سَيِّدًا لَكَ، وَدَفَعْتُ إِلَيْهِ جَمِيعَ إِخْوَتِهِ عَبِيدًا، وَعَضَدْتُهُ بِحِنْطَةٍ وَخَمْرٍ. فَمَاذَا أَصْنَعُ إِلَيْكَ يَا ٱبْنِي؟» | ٣٧ 37 |
Isaac answered: I have appointed him thy lord, and have made all his brethren his servants: I have established him with corn and wine, and after this, what shall I do more for thee, my son?
| فَقَالَ عِيسُو لِأَبِيهِ: «أَلَكَ بَرَكَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ فَقَطْ يَا أَبِي؟ بَارِكْنِي أَنَا أَيْضًا يَا أَبِي». وَرَفَعَ عِيسُو صَوْتَهُ وَبَكَى. | ٣٨ 38 |
And Esau said to him: Hast thou only one blessing, father? I beseech thee bless me also. And when he wept with a loud cry,
| فَأَجَابَ إِسْحَاقُ أَبُوهُ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «هُوَذَا بِلَا دَسَمِ ٱلْأَرْضِ يَكُونُ مَسْكَنُكَ، وَبِلَا نَدَى ٱلسَّمَاءِ مِنْ فَوْقُ. | ٣٩ 39 |
Isaac being moved, said to him: In the fat of the earth, and in the dew of heaven from above,
| وَبِسَيْفِكَ تَعِيشُ، وَلِأَخِيكَ تُسْتَعْبَدُ، وَلَكِنْ يَكُونُ حِينَمَا تَجْمَحُ أَنَّكَ تُكَسِّرُ نِيرَهُ عَنْ عُنُقِكَ». | ٤٠ 40 |
Shall thy blessing be. Thou shalt live by the sword and shalt serve thy brother: and the time shall come, when thou shalt shake off and loose his yoke from thy neck.
| فَحَقَدَ عِيسُو عَلَى يَعْقُوبَ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْبَرَكَةِ ٱلَّتِي بَارَكَهُ بِهَا أَبُوهُ. وَقَالَ عِيسُو فِي قَلْبِهِ: «قَرُبَتْ أَيَّامُ مَنَاحَةِ أَبِي، فَأَقْتُلُ يَعْقُوبَ أَخِي». | ٤١ 41 |
Esau therefore always hated Jacob for the blessing wherewith his father had blessed him: and he said in his heart: The days will come of the mourning of my father, and I will kill my brother Jacob.
| فَأُخْبِرَتْ رِفْقَةُ بِكَلَامِ عِيسُوَ ٱبْنِهَا ٱلْأَكْبَرِ، فَأَرْسَلَتْ وَدَعَتْ يَعْقُوبَ ٱبْنَهَا ٱلْأَصْغَرَ وَقَالَتْ لَهُ: «هُوَذَا عِيسُو أَخُوكَ مُتَسَلٍّ مِنْ جِهَتِكَ بِأَنَّهُ يَقْتُلُكَ. | ٤٢ 42 |
These things were told to Rebecca: and she sent and called Jacob her son, and said to him: Behold Esau thy brother threateneth to kill thee.
| فَٱلْآنَ يَا ٱبْنِي ٱسْمَعْ لِقَوْلِي، وَقُمِ ٱهْرُبْ إِلَى أَخِي لَابَانَ إِلَى حَارَانَ، | ٤٣ 43 |
Now therefore, my son, hear my voice: arise and flee to Laban my brother to Haran:
| وَأَقِمْ عِنْدَهُ أَيَّامًا قَلِيلَةً حَتَّى يَرْتَدَّ سُخْطُ أَخِيكَ. | ٤٤ 44 |
And thou shalt dwell with him a few days, till the wrath of thy brother be assuaged,
| حَتَّى يَرْتَدَّ غَضَبُ أَخِيكَ عَنْكَ، وَيَنْسَى مَا صَنَعْتَ بِهِ. ثُمَّ أُرْسِلُ فَآخُذُكَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ. لِمَاذَا أُعْدَمُ ٱثْنَيْكُمَا فِي يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ؟». | ٤٥ 45 |
And his indignation cease, and he forget the things thou hast done to him: afterwards I will send, and bring thee from thence hither. Why shall I be deprived of both my sons in one day?
| وَقَالَتْ رِفْقَةُ لِإِسْحَاقَ: «مَلِلْتُ حَيَاتِي مِنْ أَجْلِ بَنَاتِ حِثَّ. إِنْ كَانَ يَعْقُوبُ يَأْخُذُ زَوْجَةً مِنْ بَنَاتِ حِثَّ مِثْلَ هَؤُلَاءِ مِنْ بَنَاتِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَلِمَاذَا لِي حَيَاةٌ؟». | ٤٦ 46 |
And Rebecca said to Isaac: I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob take a wife of the stock of this land, I choose not to live.
