اَلتَّكْوِينُ 29
| ثُمَّ رَفَعَ يَعْقُوبُ رِجْلَيْهِ وَذَهَبَ إِلَى أَرْضِ بَنِي ٱلْمَشْرِقِ. | ١ 1 |
Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the people of the east.
| وَنَظَرَ وَإِذَا فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ بِئْرٌ وَهُنَاكَ ثَلَاثَةُ قُطْعَانِ غَنَمٍ رَابِضَةٌ عِنْدَهَا، لِأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا مِنْ تِلْكَ ٱلْبِئْرِ يَسْقُونَ ٱلْقُطْعَانَ، وَٱلْحَجَرُ عَلَى فَمِ ٱلْبِئْرِ كَانَ كَبِيرًا. | ٢ 2 |
He looked and saw a well in the field, and look, three flocks of sheep lying there by it. For out of that well they watered the flocks. The stone on the well's mouth was large.
| فَكَانَ يَجْتَمِعُ إِلَى هُنَاكَ جَمِيعُ ٱلْقُطْعَانِ فَيُدَحْرِجُونَ ٱلْحَجَرَ عَنْ فَمِ ٱلْبِئْرِ وَيَسْقُونَ ٱلْغَنَمَ، ثُمَّ يَرُدُّونَ ٱلْحَجَرَ عَلَى فَمِ ٱلْبِئْرِ إِلَى مَكَانِهِ. | ٣ 3 |
Now all the flocks would be gathered there, and they would roll the stone from the well's mouth, and water the sheep, and put the stone again on the well's mouth in its place.
| فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَعْقُوبُ: «يَا إِخْوَتِي، مِنْ أَيْنَ أَنْتُمْ؟» فَقَالُوا: «نَحْنُ مِنْ حَارَانَ». | ٤ 4 |
Jacob said to them, "My brothers, where are you from?" They said, "We are from Haran."
| فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «هَلْ تَعْرِفُونَ لَابَانَ ٱبْنَ نَاحُورَ؟» فَقَالُوا: «نَعْرِفُهُ». | ٥ 5 |
He said to them, "Do you know Laban, the grandson of Nahor?" They said, "We know him."
| فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «هَلْ لَهُ سَلَامَةٌ؟» فَقَالُوا: «لَهُ سَلَامَةٌ. وَهُوَذَا رَاحِيلُ ٱبْنَتُهُ آتِيَةٌ مَعَ ٱلْغَنَمِ». | ٦ 6 |
He said to them, "Is it well with him?" They said, "It is well. See, Rachel, his daughter, is coming with the sheep."
| فَقَالَ: «هُوَذَا ٱلنَّهَارُ بَعْدُ طَوِيلٌ. لَيْسَ وَقْتَ ٱجْتِمَاعِ ٱلْمَوَاشِي. اِسْقُوا ٱلْغَنَمَ وَٱذْهَبُوا ٱرْعَوْا». | ٧ 7 |
He said, "Look, it is still the middle of the day, not time to gather the livestock together. Water the sheep, and go, pasture them."
| فَقَالُوا: «لَا نَقْدِرُ حَتَّى تَجْتَمِعَ جَمِيعُ ٱلْقُطْعَانِ وَيُدَحْرِجُوا ٱلْحَجَرَ عَنْ فَمِ ٱلْبِئْرِ، ثُمَّ نَسْقِي ٱلْغَنَمَ». | ٨ 8 |
They said, "We can't, until all the flocks are gathered together, and they roll the stone from the well's mouth. Then we water the sheep."
| وَإِذْ هُوَ بَعْدُ يَتَكَلَّمُ مَعَهُمْ أَتَتْ رَاحِيلُ مَعَ غَنَمِ أَبِيهَا، لِأَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَرْعَى. | ٩ 9 |
While he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she was tending them.
| فَكَانَ لَمَّا أَبْصَرَ يَعْقُوبُ رَاحِيلَ بِنْتَ لَابَانَ خَالِهِ، وَغَنَمَ لَابَانَ خَالِهِ، أَنَّ يَعْقُوبَ تَقَدَّمَ وَدَحْرَجَ ٱلْحَجَرَ عَنْ فَمِ ٱلْبِئْرِ وَسَقَى غَنَمَ لَابَانَ خَالِهِ. | ١٠ 10 |
It happened, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban, his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban, his mother's brother, that Jacob went over and rolled the stone from the well's mouth and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.
| وَقَبَّلَ يَعْقُوبُ رَاحِيلَ وَرَفَعَ صَوْتَهُ وَبَكَى. | ١١ 11 |
Jacob kissed Rachel, and wept loudly.
| وَأَخْبَرَ يَعْقُوبُ رَاحِيلَ أَنَّهُ أَخُو أَبِيهَا، وَأَنَّهُ ٱبْنُ رِفْقَةَ، فَرَكَضَتْ وَأَخْبَرَتْ أَبَاهَا. | ١٢ 12 |
Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's son. She ran and told her father.
| فَكَانَ حِينَ سَمِعَ لَابَانُ خَبَرَ يَعْقُوبَ ٱبْنِ أُخْتِهِ أَنَّهُ رَكَضَ لِلِقَائِهِ وَعَانَقَهُ وَقَبَّلَهُ وَأَتَى بِهِ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ. فَحَدَّثَ لَابَانَ بِجَمِيعِ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ. | ١٣ 13 |
It happened, when Laban heard the news of Jacob, his sister's son, that he ran to meet Jacob, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. Jacob told Laban all these things.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ لَابَانُ: «إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ عَظْمِي وَلَحْمِي». فَأَقَامَ عِنْدَهُ شَهْرًا مِنَ ٱلزَّمَانِ. | ١٤ 14 |
Laban said to him, "Surely you are my bone and my flesh." He lived with him for a month.
| ثُمَّ قَالَ لَابَانُ لِيَعْقُوبَ: «أَلِأَنَّكَ أَخِي تَخْدِمُنِي مَجَّانًا؟ أَخْبِرْنِي مَا أُجْرَتُكَ». | ١٥ 15 |
Laban said to Jacob, "Because you are my brother, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me what your wages should be?"
| وَكَانَ لِلَابَانَ ٱبْنَتَانِ، ٱسْمُ ٱلْكُبْرَى لَيْئَةُ وَٱسْمُ ٱلصُّغْرَى رَاحِيلُ. | ١٦ 16 |
Laban had two daughters. The name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
| وَكَانَتْ عَيْنَا لَيْئَةَ ضَعِيفَتَيْنِ، وَأَمَّا رَاحِيلُ فَكَانَتْ حَسَنَةَ ٱلصُّورَةِ وَحَسَنَةَ ٱلْمَنْظَرِ. | ١٧ 17 |
Leah looked rather plain, but Rachel was beautiful in form and beautiful in appearance.
| وَأَحَبَّ يَعْقُوبُ رَاحِيلَ، فَقَالَ: «أَخْدِمُكَ سَبْعَ سِنِينٍ بِرَاحِيلَ ٱبْنَتِكَ ٱلصُّغْرَى». | ١٨ 18 |
Jacob loved Rachel. He said, "I will serve you seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter."
| فَقَالَ لَابَانُ: «أَنْ أُعْطِيَكَ إِيَّاهَا أَحْسَنُ مِنْ أَنْ أُعْطِيَهَا لِرَجُلٍ آخَرَ. أَقِمْ عِنْدِي». | ١٩ 19 |
Laban said, "It is better that I give her to you, than that I should give her to another man. Stay with me."
| فَخَدَمَ يَعْقُوبُ بِرَاحِيلَ سَبْعَ سِنِينٍ، وَكَانَتْ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ كَأَيَّامٍ قَلِيلَةٍ بِسَبَبِ مَحَبَّتِهِ لَهَا. | ٢٠ 20 |
Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and it seemed only a few days to him because of his love for her.
| ثُمَّ قَالَ يَعْقُوبُ لِلَابَانَ: «أَعْطِنِي ٱمْرَأَتِي لِأَنَّ أَيَّامِي قَدْ كَمُلَتْ، فَأَدْخُلَ عَلَيْهَا». | ٢١ 21 |
Jacob said to Laban, "Give me my wife, for my time is completed, so that I may sleep with her."
| فَجَمَعَ لَابَانُ جَمِيعَ أَهْلِ ٱلْمَكَانِ وَصَنَعَ وَلِيمَةً. | ٢٢ 22 |
Laban gathered together all the people of the place, and gave a feast.
| وَكَانَ فِي ٱلْمَسَاءِ أَنَّهُ أَخَذَ لَيْئَةَ ٱبْنَتَهُ وَأَتَى بِهَا إِلَيْهِ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا. | ٢٣ 23 |
It happened in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter and brought her to him, and he slept wit her.
| وَأَعْطَى لَابَانُ زِلْفَةَ جَارِيَتَهُ لِلَيْئَةَ ٱبْنَتِهِ جَارِيَةً. | ٢٤ 24 |
Laban gave Zilpah his female servant to his daughter Leah as a servant.
| وَفِي ٱلصَّبَاحِ إِذَا هِيَ لَيْئَةُ، فَقَالَ لِلَابَانَ: «مَا هَذَا ٱلَّذِي صَنَعْتَ بِي؟ أَلَيْسَ بِرَاحِيلَ خَدَمْتُ عِنْدَكَ؟ فَلِمَاذَا خَدَعْتَنِي؟». | ٢٥ 25 |
It happened in the morning that, look, it was Leah. He said to Laban, "What is this you have done to me? Did I not work for you to have Rachel? Why then have you deceived me?"
| فَقَالَ لَابَانُ: «لَا يُفْعَلُ هَكَذَا فِي مَكَانِنَا أَنْ تُعْطَى ٱلصَّغِيرَةُ قَبْلَ ٱلْبِكْرِ. | ٢٦ 26 |
Laban said, "It is not our custom here to give the younger before the firstborn.
| أَكْمِلْ أُسْبُوعَ هَذِهِ، فَنُعْطِيَكَ تِلْكَ أَيْضًا، بِٱلْخِدْمَةِ ٱلَّتِي تَخْدِمُنِي أَيْضًا سَبْعَ سِنِينٍ أُخَرَ». | ٢٧ 27 |
Finish the week of this one, and I will give you the other also in exchange for the work which you are to serve with me for another seven years."
| فَفَعَلَ يَعْقُوبُ هَكَذَا. فَأَكْمَلَ أُسْبُوعَ هَذِهِ، فَأَعْطَاهُ رَاحِيلَ ٱبْنَتَهُ زَوْجَةً لَهُ. | ٢٨ 28 |
Then Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week. He gave him Rachel his daughter as wife.
| وَأَعْطَى لَابَانُ رَاحِيلَ ٱبْنَتَهُ بِلْهَةَ جَارِيَتَهُ جَارِيَةً لَهَا. | ٢٩ 29 |
Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah, his female servant, to be her servant.
| فَدَخَلَ عَلَى رَاحِيلَ أَيْضًا، وَأَحَبَّ أَيْضًا رَاحِيلَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ لَيْئَةَ. وَعَادَ فَخَدَمَ عِنْدَهُ سَبْعَ سِنِينٍ أُخَرَ. | ٣٠ 30 |
So he slept with Rachel also, and he loved Rachel more than Leah. And he worked with him another seven years.
| وَرَأَى ٱلرَّبُّ أَنَّ لَيْئَةَ مَكْرُوهَةٌ فَفَتَحَ رَحِمَهَا، وَأَمَّا رَاحِيلُ فَكَانَتْ عَاقِرًا. | ٣١ 31 |
The LORD saw that Leah was unloved, so he made her fertile, but Rachel was barren.
| فَحَبِلَتْ لَيْئَةُ وَوَلَدَتِ ٱبْنًا وَدَعَتِ ٱسْمَهُ «رَأُوبَيْنَ»، لِأَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: «إِنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ نَظَرَ إِلَى مَذَلَّتِي. إِنَّهُ ٱلْآنَ يُحِبُّنِي رَجُلِي». | ٣٢ 32 |
Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she named him Reuben. For she said, "Because God has looked at my affliction, and given me a son. For now my husband will love me."
| وَحَبِلَتْ أَيْضًا وَوَلَدَتِ ٱبْنًا، وَقَالَتْ: «إِنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ سَمِعَ أَنِّي مَكْرُوهَةٌ فَأَعْطَانِي هَذَا أَيْضًا». فَدَعَتِ ٱسْمَهُ «شِمْعُونَ». | ٣٣ 33 |
She conceived again, and bore a son, and said, "Because God has heard that I am unloved, he has therefore given me this son also." So she named him Simeon.
| وَحَبِلَتْ أَيْضًا وَوَلَدَتِ ٱبْنًا، وَقَالَتِ: «ٱلْآنَ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَرَّةَ يَقْتَرِنُ بِي رَجُلِي، لِأَنِّي وَلَدْتُ لَهُ ثَلَاثَةَ بَنِينَ». لِذَلِكَ دُعِيَ ٱسْمُهُ «لَاوِيَ». | ٣٤ 34 |
She conceived again, and bore a son. She said, "Now this time my husband will become attached to me, since I have given him three sons." Therefore he was named Levi.
| وَحَبِلَتْ أَيْضًا وَوَلَدَتِ ٱبْنًا وَقَالَتْ: «هَذِهِ ٱلْمَرَّةَ أَحْمَدُ ٱلرَّبَّ». لِذَلِكَ دَعَتِ ٱسْمَهُ «يَهُوذَا». ثُمَّ تَوَقَّفَتْ عَنِ ٱلْوِلَادَةِ. | ٣٥ 35 |
She conceived again, and bore a son. She said, "This time will I praise God." Therefore she named him Judah. Then she stopped bearing.
