اَلتَّكْوِينُ 32
| وَأَمَّا يَعْقُوبُ فَمَضَى فِي طَرِيقِهِ وَلَاقَاهُ مَلَائِكَةُ ٱللهِ. | ١ 1 |
And on his way Jacob came face to face with the angels of God.
| وَقَالَ يَعْقُوبُ إِذْ رَآهُمْ: «هَذَا جَيْشُ ٱللهِ!». فَدَعَا ٱسْمَ ذَلِكَ ٱلْمَكَانِ «مَحَنَايِمَ». | ٢ 2 |
And when he saw them he said, This is the army of God: so he gave that place the name of Mahanaim.
| وَأَرْسَلَ يَعْقُوبُ رُسُلًا قُدَّامَهُ إِلَى عِيسُوَ أَخِيهِ إِلَى أَرْضِ سَعِيرَ بِلَادِ أَدُومَ، | ٣ 3 |
Now Jacob sent servants before him to Esau, his brother, in the land of Seir, the country of Edom;
| وَأَمَرَهُمْ قَائِلًا: «هَكَذَا تَقُولُونَ لِسَيِّدِي عِيسُوَ: هَكَذَا قَالَ عَبْدُكَ يَعْقُوبُ: تَغَرَّبْتُ عِنْدَ لَابَانَ وَلَبِثْتُ إِلَى ٱلْآنَ. | ٤ 4 |
And he gave them orders to say these words to Esau: Your servant Jacob says, Till now I have been living with Laban:
| وَقَدْ صَارَ لِي بَقَرٌ وَحَمِيرٌ وَغَنَمٌ وَعَبِيدٌ وَإِمَاءٌ. وَأَرْسَلْتُ لِأُخْبِرَ سَيِّدِي لِكَيْ أَجِدَ نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيْكَ». | ٥ 5 |
And I have oxen and asses and flocks and men-servants and women-servants: and I have sent to give my lord news of these things so that I may have grace in his eyes.
| فَرَجَعَ ٱلرُّسُلُ إِلَى يَعْقُوبَ قَائِلِينَ: «أَتَيْنَا إِلَى أَخِيكَ، إِلَى عِيسُو، وَهُوَ أَيْضًا قَادِمٌ لِلِقَائِكَ، وَأَرْبَعُ مِئَةِ رَجُلٍ مَعَهُ». | ٦ 6 |
When the servants came back they said, We have seen your brother Esau and he is coming out to you, and four hundred men with him.
| فَخَافَ يَعْقُوبُ جِدًّا وَضَاقَ بِهِ ٱلْأَمْرُ، فَقَسَمَ ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ وَٱلْغَنَمَ وَٱلْبَقَرَ وَٱلْجِمَالَ إِلَى جَيْشَيْنِ. | ٧ 7 |
Then Jacob was in great fear and trouble of mind: and he put all the people and the flocks and the herds and the camels into two groups;
| وَقَالَ: «إِنْ جَاءَ عِيسُو إِلَى ٱلْجَيْشِ ٱلْوَاحِدِ وَضَرَبَهُ، يَكُونُ ٱلْجَيْشُ ٱلْبَاقِي نَاجِيًا». | ٨ 8 |
And said, If Esau, meeting one group, makes an attack on them, the others will get away safely.
| وَقَالَ يَعْقُوبُ: «يَا إِلَهَ أَبِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِلَهَ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، ٱلرَّبَّ ٱلَّذِي قَالَ لِيَ: ٱرْجِعْ إِلَى أَرْضِكَ وَإِلَى عَشِيرَتِكَ فَأُحْسِنَ إِلَيْكَ. | ٩ 9 |
Then Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, the God of my father Isaac, the Lord who said to me, Go back to your country and your family and I will be good to you:
| صَغِيرٌ أَنَا عَنْ جَمِيعِ أَلْطَافِكَ وَجَمِيعِ ٱلْأَمَانَةِ ٱلَّتِي صَنَعْتَ إِلَى عَبْدِكَ. فَإِنِّي بِعَصَايَ عَبَرْتُ هَذَا ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ، وَٱلْآنَ قَدْ صِرْتُ جَيْشَيْنِ. | ١٠ 10 |
I am less than nothing in comparison with all your mercies and your faith to me your servant; for with only my stick in my hand I went across Jordan, and now I have become two armies.
| نَجِّنِي مِنْ يَدِ أَخِي، مِنْ يَدِ عِيسُوَ، لِأَنِّي خَائِفٌ مِنْهُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ وَيَضْرِبَنِي ٱلْأُمَّ مَعَ ٱلْبَنِينَ. | ١١ 11 |
Be my saviour from the hand of Esau, my brother: for my fear is that he will make an attack on me, putting to death mother and child.
| وَأَنْتَ قَدْ قُلْتَ: إِنِّي أُحْسِنُ إِلَيْكَ وَأَجْعَلُ نَسْلَكَ كَرَمْلِ ٱلْبَحْرِ ٱلَّذِي لَا يُعَدُّ لِلْكَثْرَةِ». | ١٢ 12 |
And you said, Truly, I will be good to you, and make your seed like the sand of the sea which may not be numbered.
| وَبَاتَ هُنَاكَ تِلْكَ ٱللَّيْلَةَ وَأَخَذَ مِمَّا أَتَى بِيَدِهِ هَدِيَّةً لِعِيسُو أَخِيهِ: | ١٣ 13 |
Then he put up his tent there for the night; and from among his goods he took, as an offering for his brother Esau,
| مِئَتَيْ عَنْزٍ وَعِشْرِينَ تَيْسًا، مِئَتَيْ نَعْجَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ كَبْشًا، | ١٤ 14 |
Two hundred she-goats and twenty he-goats, two hundred females and twenty males from the sheep,
| ثَلَاثِينَ نَاقَةً مُرْضِعَةً وَأَوْلَادَهَا، أَرْبَعِينَ بَقَرَةً وَعَشْرَةَ ثِيرَانٍ، عِشْرِينَ أَتَانًا وَعَشْرَةَ حَمِيرٍ، | ١٥ 15 |
Thirty camels with their young ones, forty cows, ten oxen, twenty asses, and ten young asses.
| وَدَفَعَهَا إِلَى يَدِ عَبِيدِهِ قَطِيعًا قَطِيعًا عَلَى حِدَةٍ. وَقَالَ لِعَبِيدِهِ: «ٱجْتَازُوا قُدَّامِي وَٱجْعَلُوا فُسْحَةً بَيْنَ قَطِيعٍ وَقَطِيعٍ». | ١٦ 16 |
These he gave to his servants, every herd by itself, and he said to his servants, Go on before me, and let there be a space between one herd and another.
| وَأَمَرَ ٱلْأَوَّلَ قَائِلًا: «إِذَا صَادَفَكَ عِيسُو أَخِي وَسَأَلَكَ قَائِلًا: لِمَنْ أَنْتَ؟ وَإِلَى أَيْنَ تَذْهَبُ؟ وَلِمَنْ هَذَا ٱلَّذِي قُدَّامَكَ؟ | ١٧ 17 |
And he gave orders to the first, saying, When my brother Esau comes to you and says, Whose servant are you, and where are you going, and whose are these herds?
| تَقُولُ: لِعَبْدِكَ يَعْقُوبَ. هُوَ هَدِيَّةٌ مُرْسَلَةٌ لِسَيِّدِي عِيسُوَ، وَهَا هُوَ أَيْضًا وَرَاءَنَا». | ١٨ 18 |
Then say to him, These are your servant Jacob's; they are an offering for my lord, for Esau; and he himself is coming after us.
| وَأَمَرَ أَيْضًا ٱلْثَانِى وَٱلثَّالِثَ وَجَمِيعَ ٱلسَّائِرِينَ وَرَاءَ ٱلْقُطْعَانِ قَائِلًا: «بِمِثْلِ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ تُكَلِّمُونَ عِيسُوَ حِينَمَا تَجِدُونَهُ، | ١٩ 19 |
And he gave the same orders to the second and the third and to all those who were with the herds, saying, This is what you are to say to Esau when you see him;
| وَتَقُولُونَ: هُوَذَا عَبْدُكَ يَعْقُوبُ أَيْضًا وَرَاءَنَا». لِأَنَّهُ قَالَ: «أَسْتَعْطِفُ وَجْهَهُ بِٱلْهَدِيَّةِ ٱلسَّائِرَةِ أَمَامِي، وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَنْظُرُ وَجْهَهُ، عَسَى أَنْ يَرْفَعَ وَجْهِي». | ٢٠ 20 |
And you are to say further, Jacob, your servant, is coming after us. For he said to himself, I will take away his wrath by the offering which I have sent on, and then I will come before him: it may be that I will have grace in his eyes.
| فَٱجْتَازَتِ ٱلْهَدِيَّةُ قُدَّامَهُ، وَأَمَّا هُوَ فَبَاتَ تِلْكَ ٱللَّيْلَةَ فِي ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ. | ٢١ 21 |
So the servants with the offerings went on in front, and he himself took his rest that night in the tents with his people.
| ثُمَّ قَامَ فِي تِلْكَ ٱللَّيْلَةِ وَأَخَذَ ٱمْرَأَتَيْهِ وَجَارِيَتَيْهِ وَأَوْلَادَهُ ٱلْأَحَدَ عَشَرَ وَعَبَرَ مَخَاضَةَ يَبُّوقَ. | ٢٢ 22 |
And in the night he got up, and taking with him his two wives and the two servant-women and his eleven children, he went over the river Jabbok.
| أَخَذَهُمْ وَأَجَازَهُمُ ٱلْوَادِيَ، وَأَجَازَ مَا كَانَ لَهُ. | ٢٣ 23 |
He took them and sent them over the stream with all he had.
| فَبَقِيَ يَعْقُوبُ وَحْدَهُ، وَصَارَعَهُ إِنْسَانٌ حَتَّى طُلُوعِ ٱلْفَجْرِ. | ٢٤ 24 |
Then Jacob was by himself; and a man was fighting with him till dawn.
| وَلَمَّا رَأَى أَنَّهُ لَا يَقْدِرُ عَلَيْهِ، ضَرَبَ حُقَّ فَخْذِهِ، فَٱنْخَلَعَ حُقُّ فَخْذِ يَعْقُوبَ فِي مُصَارَعَتِهِ مَعَهُ. | ٢٥ 25 |
But when the man saw that he was not able to overcome Jacob, he gave him a blow in the hollow part of his leg, so that his leg was damaged.
| وَقَالَ: «أَطْلِقْنِي، لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ طَلَعَ ٱلْفَجْرُ». فَقَالَ: «لَا أُطْلِقُكَ إِنْ لَمْ تُبَارِكْنِي». | ٢٦ 26 |
And he said to him, Let me go now, for the dawn is near. But Jacob said, I will not let you go till you have given me your blessing.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ: «مَا ٱسْمُكَ؟» فَقَالَ: «يَعْقُوبُ». | ٢٧ 27 |
Then he said, What is your name? And he said, Jacob.
| فَقَالَ: «لَا يُدْعَى ٱسْمُكَ فِي مَا بَعْدُ يَعْقُوبَ بَلْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِأَنَّكَ جَاهَدْتَ مَعَ ٱللهِ وَٱلنَّاسِ وَقَدَرْتَ». | ٢٨ 28 |
And he said, Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel: for in your fight with God and with men you have overcome.
| وَسَأَلَ يَعْقُوبُ وَقَالَ: «أَخْبِرْنِي بِٱسْمِكَ». فَقَالَ: «لِمَاذَا تَسْأَلُ عَنِ ٱسْمِي؟». وَبَارَكَهُ هُنَاكَ. | ٢٩ 29 |
Then Jacob said, What is your name? And he said, What is my name to you? Then he gave him a blessing.
| فَدَعَا يَعْقُوبُ ٱسْمَ ٱلْمَكَانِ «فَنِيئِيلَ» قَائِلًا: «لِأَنِّي نَظَرْتُ ٱللهَ وَجْهًا لِوَجْهٍ، وَنُجِّيَتْ نَفْسِي». | ٣٠ 30 |
And Jacob gave that place the name of Peniel, saying, I have seen God face to face, and still I am living.
| وَأَشْرَقَتْ لَهُ ٱلشَّمْسُ إِذْ عَبَرَ فَنُوئِيلَ وَهُوَ يَخْمَعُ عَلَى فَخْذِهِ. | ٣١ 31 |
And while he was going past Peniel, the sun came up. And he went with unequal steps because of his damaged leg.
| لِذَلِكَ لَا يَأْكُلُ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ عِرْقَ ٱلنَّسَا ٱلَّذِي عَلَى حُقِّ ٱلْفَخْذِ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ، لِأَنَّهُ ضَرَبَ حُقَّ فَخْذِ يَعْقُوبَ عَلَى عِرْقِ ٱلنَّسَا. | ٣٢ 32 |
For this reason the children of Israel, even today, never take that muscle in the hollow of the leg as food, because the hollow of Jacob's leg was touched.
