اَلتَّكْوِينُ 31
| فَسَمِعَ كَلَامَ بَنِي لَابَانَ قَائِلِينَ: «أَخَذَ يَعْقُوبُ كُلَّ مَا كَانَ لِأَبِينَا، وَمِمَّا لِأَبِينَا صَنَعَ كُلَّ هَذَا ٱلْمَجْدِ». | ١ 1 |
And he hears the words of Laban’s sons, saying, “Jacob has taken all that our father has; indeed, from that which our father has, he has made all this glory”;
| وَنَظَرَ يَعْقُوبُ وَجْهَ لَابَانَ وَإِذَا هُوَ لَيْسَ مَعَهُ كَأَمْسِ وَأَوَّلَ مِنْ أَمْسِ. | ٢ 2 |
and Jacob sees the face of Laban, and behold, it is not with him as before.
| وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِيَعْقُوبَ: «ٱرْجِعْ إِلَى أَرْضِ آبَائِكَ وَإِلَى عَشِيرَتِكَ، فَأَكُونَ مَعَكَ». | ٣ 3 |
And YHWH says to Jacob, “Return to the land of your fathers, and to your family, and I am with you.”
| فَأَرْسَلَ يَعْقُوبُ وَدَعَا رَاحِيلَ وَلَيْئَةَ إِلَى ٱلْحَقْلِ إِلَى غَنَمِهِ، | ٤ 4 |
And Jacob sends and calls for Rachel and for Leah to the field to his flock;
| وَقَالَ لَهُمَا: «أَنَا أَرَى وَجْهَ أَبِيكُمَا أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ نَحْوِي كَأَمْسِ وَأَوَّلَ مِنْ أَمْسِ. وَلَكِنْ إِلَهُ أَبِي كَانَ مَعِي. | ٥ 5 |
and says to them, “I am beholding your father’s face—that it is not toward me as before, and the God of my father has been with me,
| وَأَنْتُمَا تَعْلَمَانِ أَنِّي بِكُلِّ قُوَّتِي خَدَمْتُ أَبَاكُمَا، | ٦ 6 |
and you have known that with all my power I have served your father,
| وَأَمَّا أَبُوكُمَا فَغَدَرَ بِي وَغَيَّرَ أُجْرَتِي عَشَرَ مَرَّاتٍ. لَكِنَّ ٱللهَ لَمْ يَسْمَحْ لَهُ أَنْ يَصْنَعَ بِي شَرًّا. | ٧ 7 |
and your father has played on me, and has changed my hire ten times; and God has not permitted him to do evil with me.
| إِنْ قَالَ هَكَذَا: ٱلرُّقْطُ تَكُونُ أُجْرَتَكَ، وَلَدَتْ كُلُّ ٱلْغَنَمِ رُقْطًا. وَإِنْ قَالَ هَكَذَا: ٱلْمُخَطَّطَةُ تَكُونُ أُجْرَتَكَ، وَلَدَتْ كُلُّ ٱلْغَنَمِ مُخَطَّطَةً. | ٨ 8 |
If he says thus: The speckled are your hire, then all the flock bore speckled ones; and if he says thus: The striped are your hire, then all the flock bore striped;
| فَقَدْ سَلَبَ ٱللهُ مَوَاشِيَ أَبِيكُمَا وَأَعْطَانِي. | ٩ 9 |
and God takes away the substance of your father, and gives to me.
| وَحَدَثَ فِي وَقْتِ تَوَحُّمِ ٱلْغَنَمِ أَنِّي رَفَعْتُ عَيْنَيَّ وَنَظَرْتُ فِي حُلْمٍ، وَإِذَا ٱلْفُحُولُ ٱلصَّاعِدَةُ عَلَى ٱلْغَنَمِ مُخَطَّطَةٌ وَرَقْطَاءُ وَمُنَمَّرَةٌ. | ١٠ 10 |
And it comes to pass at the time of the flock conceiving, that I lift up my eyes and see in a dream, and behold, the male goats, which are going up on the flock, [are] striped, speckled, and spotted;
| وَقَالَ لِي مَلَاكُ ٱللهِ فِي ٱلْحُلْمِ: يَا يَعْقُوبُ. فَقُلْتُ: هَأَنَذَا. | ١١ 11 |
and the Messenger of God says to me in the dream, Jacob, and I say, Here I [am].
| فَقَالَ: ٱرْفَعْ عَيْنَيْكَ وَٱنْظُرْ. جَمِيعُ ٱلْفُحُولِ ٱلصَّاعِدَةِ عَلَى ٱلْغَنَمِ مُخَطَّطَةٌ وَرَقْطَاءُ وَمُنَمَّرَةٌ، لِأَنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُ كُلَّ مَا يَصْنَعُ بِكَ لَابَانُ. | ١٢ 12 |
And He says, Now lift up your eyes and see [that] all the male goats which are going up on the flock [are] striped, speckled, and spotted, for I have seen all that Laban is doing to you;
| أَنَا إِلَهُ بَيْتِ إِيلَ حَيْثُ مَسَحْتَ عَمُودًا، حَيْثُ نَذَرْتَ لِي نَذْرًا. ٱلْآنَ قُمِ ٱخْرُجْ مِنْ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱرْجِعْ إِلَى أَرْضِ مِيلَادِكَ». | ١٣ 13 |
I [am] the God of Bethel where you have anointed a standing pillar, where you have vowed a vow to me; now, arise, go out from this land, and return to the land of your birth.”
| فَأَجَابَتْ رَاحِيلُ وَلَيْئَةُ وَقَاَلتَا لَهُ: «أَلَنَا أَيْضًا نَصِيبٌ وَمِيرَاثٌ فِي بَيْتِ أَبِينَا؟ | ١٤ 14 |
And Rachel answers—Leah also—and says to him, “Have we yet a portion and inheritance in the house of our father?
| أَلَمْ نُحْسَبْ مِنْهُ أَجْنَبِيَّتَيْنِ، لِأَنَّهُ بَاعَنَا وَقَدْ أَكَلَ أَيْضًا ثَمَنَنَا؟ | ١٥ 15 |
Have we not been reckoned strangers to him? For he has sold us, and he also utterly consumes our money;
| إِنَّ كُلَّ ٱلْغِنَى ٱلَّذِي سَلَبَهُ ٱللهُ مِنْ أَبِينَا هُوَ لَنَا وَلِأَوْلَادِنَا، فَٱلْآنَ كُلَّ مَا قَالَ لَكَ ٱللهُ ٱفْعَلْ». | ١٦ 16 |
for all the wealth which God has taken away from our father, it [is] ours, and our children’s; and now, all that God has said to you—do.”
| فَقَامَ يَعْقُوبُ وَحَمَلَ أَوْلَادَهُ وَنِسَاءَهُ عَلَى ٱلْجِمَالِ، | ١٧ 17 |
And Jacob rises, and lifts up his sons and his wives on the camels,
| وَسَاقَ كُلَّ مَوَاشِيهِ وَجَمِيعَ مُقْتَنَاهُ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ قَدِ ٱقْتَنَى: مَوَاشِيَ ٱقْتِنَائِهِ ٱلَّتِي ٱقْتَنَى فِي فَدَّانِ أَرَامَ، لِيَجِيءَ إِلَى إِسْحَاقَ أَبِيهِ إِلَى أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ. | ١٨ 18 |
and leads all his livestock, and all his substance which he has acquired, the livestock of his getting, which he has acquired in Padan-Aram, to go to his father Isaac, to the land of Canaan.
| وَأَمَّا لَابَانُ فَكَانَ قَدْ مَضَى لِيَجُزَّ غَنَمَهُ، فَسَرَقَتْ رَاحِيلُ أَصْنَامَ أَبِيهَا. | ١٩ 19 |
And Laban has gone to shear his flock, and Rachel steals the teraphim which her father has;
| وَخَدَعَ يَعْقُوبُ قَلْبَ لَابَانَ ٱلْأَرَامِيِّ إِذْ لَمْ يُخْبِرْهُ بِأَنَّهُ هَارِبٌ. | ٢٠ 20 |
and Jacob deceives the heart of Laban the Aramean, because he has not declared to him that he is fleeing;
| فَهَرَبَ هُوَ وَكُلُّ مَا كَانَ لَهُ، وَقَامَ وَعَبَرَ ٱلنَّهْرَ وَجَعَلَ وَجْهَهُ نَحْوَ جَبَلِ جِلْعَادَ. | ٢١ 21 |
and he flees, he and all that he has, and rises, and passes over the River, and sets his face [toward] the Mount of Gilead.
| فَأُخْبِرَ لَابَانُ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ بِأَنَّ يَعْقُوبَ قَدْ هَرَبَ. | ٢٢ 22 |
And it is told to Laban on the third day that Jacob has fled,
| فَأَخَذَ إِخْوَتَهُ مَعَهُ وَسَعَى وَرَاءَهُ مَسِيرَةَ سَبْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ، فَأَدْرَكَهُ فِي جَبَلِ جِلْعَادَ. | ٢٣ 23 |
and he takes his brothers with him, and pursues after him a journey of seven days, and overtakes him in the Mount of Gilead.
| وَأَتَى ٱللهُ إِلَى لَابَانَ ٱلْأَرَامِيِّ فِي حُلْمِ ٱللَّيْلِ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «ٱحْتَرِزْ مِنْ أَنْ تُكَلِّمَ يَعْقُوبَ بِخَيْرٍ أَوْ شَرٍّ». | ٢٤ 24 |
And God comes to Laban the Aramean in a dream of the night and says to him, “Take heed to yourself lest you speak with Jacob from good to evil.”
| فَلَحِقَ لَابَانُ يَعْقُوبَ، وَيَعْقُوبُ قَدْ ضَرَبَ خَيْمَتَهُ فِي ٱلْجَبَلِ. فَضَرَبَ لَابَانُ مَعَ إِخْوَتِهِ فِي جَبَلِ جِلْعَادَ. | ٢٥ 25 |
And Laban overtakes Jacob; and Jacob has fixed his tent in the mountain; and Laban with his brothers have fixed [theirs] in the Mount of Gilead.
| وَقَالَ لَابَانُ لِيَعْقُوبَ: «مَاذَا فَعَلْتَ، وَقَدْ خَدَعْتَ قَلْبِي، وَسُقْتَ بَنَاتِي كَسَبَايَا ٱلسَّيْفِ؟ | ٢٦ 26 |
And Laban says to Jacob, “What have you done that you deceive my heart, and lead away my daughters as captives of the sword?
| لِمَاذَا هَرَبْتَ خُفْيَةً وَخَدَعْتَنِي وَلَمْ تُخْبِرْنِي حَتَّى أُشَيِّعَكَ بِٱلْفَرَحِ وَٱلْأَغَانِيِّ، بِٱلدُّفِّ وَٱلْعُودِ، | ٢٧ 27 |
Why have you hidden yourself to flee, and deceive me, and have not declared to me, and I send you away with joy and with songs, with tambourine and with harp,
| وَلَمْ تَدَعْنِي أُقَبِّلُ بَنِيَّ وَبَنَاتِي؟ ٱلْآنَ بِغَبَاوَةٍ فَعَلْتَ! | ٢٨ 28 |
and have not permitted me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now you have acted foolishly in doing [so];
| فِي قُدْرَةِ يَدِي أَنْ أَصْنَعَ بِكُمْ شَرًّا، وَلَكِنْ إِلَهُ أَبِيكُمْ كَلَّمَنِيَ ٱلْبَارِحَةَ قَائِلًا: ٱحْتَرِزْ مِنْ أَنْ تُكَلِّمَ يَعْقُوبَ بِخَيْرٍ أَوْ شَرٍّ. | ٢٩ 29 |
my hand is to God to do evil with you, but the God of your father last night has spoken to me, saying, Take heed to yourself from speaking with Jacob from good to evil.
| وَٱلْآنَ أَنْتَ ذَهَبْتَ لِأَنَّكَ قَدِ ٱشْتَقْتَ إِلَى بَيْتِ أَبِيكَ، وَلَكِنْ لِمَاذَا سَرَقْتَ آلِهَتِي؟». | ٣٠ 30 |
And now, you have certainly gone, because you have been very desirous for the house of your father; why have you stolen my gods?”
| فَأَجَابَ يَعْقُوبُ وَقَالَ لِلَابَانَ: «إِنِّي خِفْتُ لِأَنِّي قُلْتُ لَعَلَّكَ تَغْتَصِبُ ٱبْنَتَيْكَ مِنِّي. | ٣١ 31 |
And Jacob answers and says to Laban, “Because I was afraid, for I said, Lest you violently take away your daughters from me;
| اَلَّذِي تَجِدُ آلِهَتَكَ مَعَهُ لَا يَعِيشُ. قُدَّامَ إِخْوَتِنَا ٱنْظُرْ مَاذَا مَعِي وَخُذْهُ لِنَفْسِكَ». وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يَعْقُوبُ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّ رَاحِيلَ سَرَقَتْهَا. | ٣٢ 32 |
with whomsoever you find your gods—he must not live; before our brothers discern for yourself what [is] with me, and take to yourself”: and Jacob has not known that Rachel has stolen them.
| فَدَخَلَ لَابَانُ خِبَاءَ يَعْقُوبَ وَخِبَاءَ لَيْئَةَ وَخِبَاءَ ٱلْجَارِيَتَيْنِ وَلَمْ يَجِدْ. وَخَرَجَ مِنْ خِبَاءِ لَيْئَةَ وَدَخَلَ خِبَاءَ رَاحِيلَ. | ٣٣ 33 |
And Laban goes into the tent of Jacob, and into the tent of Leah, and into the tent of the two handmaidens, and has not found; and he goes out from the tent of Leah, and goes into the tent of Rachel.
| وَكَانَتْ رَاحِيلُ قَدْ أَخَذَتِ ٱلْأَصْنَامَ وَوَضَعَتْهَا فِي حِدَاجَةِ ٱلْجَمَلِ وَجَلَسَتْ عَلَيْهَا. فَجَسَّ لَابَانُ كُلَّ ٱلْخِبَاءِ وَلَمْ يَجِدْ. | ٣٤ 34 |
And Rachel has taken the teraphim, and puts them in the furniture of the camel, and sits on them; and Laban feels all the tent, and has not found;
| وَقَالَتْ لِأَبِيهَا: «لَا يَغْتَظْ سَيِّدِي أَنِّي لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أَقُومَ أَمَامَكَ لِأَنَّ عَلَيَّ عَادَةَ ٱلنِّسَاءِ». فَفَتَّشَ وَلَمْ يَجِدِ ٱلْأَصْنَامَ. | ٣٥ 35 |
and she says to her father, “Let it not be displeasing in the eyes of my lord that I am not able to rise at your presence, for the way of women [is] on me”; and he searches, and has not found the teraphim.
| فَٱغْتَاظَ يَعْقُوبُ وَخَاصَمَ لَابَانَ. وَأجَابَ يَعْقُوبُ وَقَالَ لِلَابَانَ: «مَا جُرْمِي؟ مَا خَطِيَّتِي حَتَّى حَمِيتَ وَرَائِي؟ | ٣٦ 36 |
And it is displeasing to Jacob, and he strives with Laban; and Jacob answers and says to Laban, “What [is] my transgression? What my sin, that you have burned after me?
| إِنَّكَ جَسَسْتَ جَمِيعَ أَثَاثِي. مَاذَا وَجَدْتَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَثَاثِ بَيْتِكَ؟ ضَعْهُ هَهُنَا قُدَّامَ إِخْوَتِي وَإِخْوَتِكَ، فَلْيُنْصِفُوا بَيْنَنَا ٱلِٱثْنَيْنِ. | ٣٧ 37 |
For you have felt all my vessels: what have you found of all the vessels of your house? Set here before my brothers, and your brothers, and they decide between us both.
| اَلْآنَ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً أَنَا مَعَكَ. نِعَاجُكَ وَعِنَازُكَ لَمْ تُسْقِطْ، وَكِبَاشَ غَنَمِكَ لَمْ آكُلْ. | ٣٨ 38 |
These twenty years I [am] with you: your ewes and your female goats have not miscarried, and the rams of your flock I have not eaten;
| فَرِيسَةً لَمْ أُحْضِرْ إِلَيْكَ. أَنَا كُنْتُ أَخْسَرُهَا. مِنْ يَدِي كُنْتَ تَطْلُبُهَا. مَسْرُوقَةَ ٱلنَّهَارِ أَوْ مَسْرُوقَةَ ٱللَّيْلِ. | ٣٩ 39 |
the torn I have not brought to you—I repay it—from my hand you seek it; I have been deceived by day, and I have been deceived by night;
| كُنْتُ فِي ٱلنَّهَارِ يَأْكُلُنِي ٱلْحَرُّ وَفِي ٱللَّيْلِ ٱلْجَلِيدُ، وَطَارَ نَوْمِي مِنْ عَيْنَيَّ. | ٤٠ 40 |
I have been [thus]: drought has consumed me in the day, and frost by night, and my sleep wanders from my eyes.
| اَلْآنَ لِي عِشْرُونَ سَنَةً فِي بَيْتِكَ. خَدَمْتُكَ أَرْبَعَ عَشَرَةَ سَنَةً بَٱبْنَتَيْكَ، وَسِتَّ سِنِينٍ بِغَنَمِكَ. وَقَدْ غَيَّرْتَ أُجْرَتِي عَشَرَ مَرَّاتٍ. | ٤١ 41 |
This [is] to me twenty years in your house: I have served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years for your flock; and you change my hire ten times;
| لَوْلَا أَنَّ إِلَهَ أَبِي إِلَهَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَهَيْبَةَ إِسْحَاقَ كَانَ مَعِي، لَكُنْتَ ٱلْآنَ قَدْ صَرَفْتَنِي فَارِغًا. مَشَقَّتِي وَتَعَبَ يَدَيَّ قَدْ نَظَرَ ٱللهُ، فَوَبَّخَكَ ٱلْبَارِحَةَ». | ٤٢ 42 |
unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the Fear of Isaac, had been for me, surely now you had sent me away empty; God has seen my affliction and the labor of my hands, and reproves last night.”
| فَأَجَابَ لَابَانُ وَقَالَ لِيَعقُوبَ: «ٱلْبَنَاتُ بَنَاتِي، وَٱلْبَنُونَ بَنِيَّ، وَٱلْغَنَمُ غَنَمِي، وَكُلُّ مَا أَنْتَ تَرَى فَهُوَ لِي. فَبَنَاتِي مَاذَا أَصْنَعُ بِهِنَّ ٱلْيَوْمَ أَوْ بِأَوْلَادِهِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ وَلَدْنَ؟ | ٤٣ 43 |
And Laban answers and says to Jacob, “The daughters [are] my daughters, and the sons my sons, and the flock my flock, and all that you are seeing [is] mine; and to my daughters—what do I to these today, or to their sons whom they have born?
| فَٱلْآنَ هَلُمَّ نَقْطَعْ عَهْدًا أَنَا وَأَنْتَ، فَيَكُونُ شَاهِدًا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ». | ٤٤ 44 |
And now, come, let us make a covenant, I and you, and it has been for a witness between me and you.”
| فَأَخَذَ يَعْقُوبُ حَجَرًا وَأَوْقَفَهُ عَمُودًا، | ٤٥ 45 |
And Jacob takes a stone, and lifts it up [for] a standing pillar;
| وَقَالَ يَعْقُوبُ لِإِخْوَتِهِ: «ٱلْتَقِطُوا حِجَارَةً». فَأَخَذُوا حِجَارَةً وَعَمِلُوا رُجْمَةً وَأَكَلُوا هُنَاكَ عَلَى ٱلرُّجْمَةِ. | ٤٦ 46 |
and Jacob says to his brothers, “Gather stones,” and they take stones, and make a heap; and they eat there on the heap;
| وَدَعَاهَا لَابَانُ «يَجَرْ سَهْدُوثَا» وَأَمَّا يَعْقُوبُ فَدَعَاهَا «جَلْعِيدَ». | ٤٧ 47 |
and Laban calls it Jegar-Sahadutha; and Jacob has called it Galeed.
| وَقَالَ لَابَانُ: «هَذِهِ ٱلرُّجْمَةُ هِيَ شَاهِدَةٌ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ ٱلْيَوْمَ». لِذَلِكَ دُعِيَ ٱسْمُهَا «جَلْعِيدَ». | ٤٨ 48 |
And Laban says, “This heap [is] witness between me and you today”; therefore has he called its name Galeed;
| وَ«ٱلْمِصْفَاةَ»، لِأَنَّهُ قَالَ: «لِيُرَاقِبِ ٱلرَّبُّ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ حِينَمَا نَتَوَارَى بَعْضُنَا عَنْ بَعْضٍ. | ٤٩ 49 |
Mizpah also, for he said, “YHWH watches between me and you, for we are hidden from one another;
| إِنَّكَ لَا تُذِلُّ بَنَاتِي، وَلَا تَأْخُذُ نِسَاءً عَلَى بَنَاتِي. لَيْسَ إِنْسَانٌ مَعَنَا. اُنْظُرْ، ٱللهُ شَاهِدٌ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ». | ٥٠ 50 |
if you afflict my daughters, or take wives beside my daughters—there is no man with us—see, God [is] witness between me and you.”
| وَقَالَ لَابَانُ لِيَعْقُوبَ: «هُوَذَا هَذِهِ ٱلرُّجْمَةُ، وَهُوَذَا ٱلْعَمُودُ ٱلَّذِي وَضَعْتُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ. | ٥١ 51 |
And Laban says to Jacob, “Behold, this heap, and behold, the standing pillar which I have cast between me and you;
| شَاهِدَةٌ هَذِهِ ٱلرُّجْمَةُ وَشَاهِدٌ ٱلْعَمُودُ أَنِّي لَا أَتَجَاوَزُ هَذِهِ ٱلرُّجْمَةَ إِلَيْكَ، وَأَنَّكَ لَا تَتَجَاوَزُ هَذِهِ ٱلرُّجْمَةَ وَهَذَا ٱلْعَمُودَ إِلَيَّ لِلشَّرِّ. | ٥٢ 52 |
this heap [is] witness, and the standing pillar [is] witness, that I do not pass over this heap to you, and that you do not pass over this heap and this standing pillar to me—for evil;
| إِلَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَآلِهَةُ نَاحُورَ، آلِهَةُ أَبِيهِمَا، يَقْضُونَ بَيْنَنَا». وَحَلَفَ يَعْقُوبُ بِهَيْبَةِ أَبِيهِ إِسْحَاقَ. | ٥٣ 53 |
the God of Abraham and the God of Nahor, judges between us—the God of their father,” and Jacob swears by the Fear of his father Isaac.
| وَذَبَحَ يَعْقُوبُ ذَبِيحَةً فِي ٱلْجَبَلِ وَدَعَا إِخْوَتَهُ لِيَأْكُلُوا طَعَامًا، فَأَكَلُوا طَعَامًا وَبَاتُوا فِي ٱلْجَبَلِ. | ٥٤ 54 |
And Jacob sacrifices a sacrifice on the mountain, and calls to his brothers to eat bread, and they eat bread, and lodge on the mountain;
| ثُمَّ بَكَّرَ لَابَانُ صَبَاحًا وَقَبَّلَ بَنِيهِ وَبَنَاتِهِ وَبَارَكَهُمْ وَمَضَى. وَرَجَعَ لَابَانُ إِلَى مَكَانِهِ. | ٥٥ 55 |
and Laban rises early in the morning, and kisses his sons and his daughters, and blesses them; and Laban goes on, and turns back to his place.
