اَلتَّكْوِينُ 35

١ 1 ثُمَّ قَالَ ٱللهُ لِيَعْقُوبَ: «قُمِ ٱصْعَدْ إِلَى بَيْتِ إِيلَ وَأَقِمْ هُنَاكَ، وَٱصْنَعْ هُنَاكَ مَذْبَحًا لِلهِ ٱلَّذِي ظَهَرَ لَكَ حِينَ هَرَبْتَ مِنْ وَجْهِ عِيسُو أَخِيكَ».

And God said to Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there, and make there an altar unto the God that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.

٢ 2 فَقَالَ يَعْقُوبُ لِبَيْتِهِ وَلِكُلِّ مَنْ كَانَ مَعَهُ: «ٱعْزِلُوا ٱلْآلِهَةَ ٱلْغَرِيبَةَ ٱلَّتِي بَيْنَكُمْ وَتَطَهَّرُوا وَأَبْدِلُوا ثِيَابَكُمْ.

And Jacob said to his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and cleanse yourselves, and change your garments;

٣ 3 وَلْنَقُمْ وَنَصْعَدْ إِلَى بَيْتِ إِيلَ، فَأَصْنَعَ هُنَاكَ مَذْبَحًا لِلهِ ٱلَّذِي ٱسْتَجَابَ لِي فِي يَوْمِ ضِيقَتِي، وَكَانَ مَعِي فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ ٱلَّذِي ذَهَبْتُ فِيهِ».

and we will arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar to the God that answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way that I went.

٤ 4 فَأَعْطَوْا يَعْقُوبَ كُلَّ ٱلْآلِهَةِ ٱلْغَرِيبَةِ ٱلَّتِي فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ وَٱلْأَقْرَاطِ ٱلَّتِي فِي آذَانِهِمْ، فَطَمَرَهَا يَعْقُوبُ تَحْتَ ٱلْبُطْمَةِ ٱلَّتِي عِنْدَ شَكِيمَ.

And they gave to Jacob all the strange gods that were in their hand, and the rings that were in their ears, and Jacob hid them under the terebinth that [is] by Shechem.

٥ 5 ثُمَّ رَحَلُوا، وَكَانَ خَوْفُ ٱللهِ عَلَى ٱلْمُدُنِ ٱلَّتِي حَوْلَهُمْ، فَلَمْ يَسْعَوْا وَرَاءَ بَنِي يَعْقُوبَ.

And they journeyed; and the terror of God was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.

٦ 6 فَأَتَى يَعْقُوبُ إِلَى لُوزَ ٱلَّتِي فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ، وَهِيَ بَيْتُ إِيلَ. هُوَ وَجَمِيعُ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ.

And Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is, Bethel, he and all the people that were with him.

٧ 7 وَبَنَى هُنَاكَ مَذْبَحًا، وَدَعَا ٱلْمَكَانَ «إِيلَ بَيْتِ إِيلَ» لِأَنَّهُ هُنَاكَ ظَهَرَ لَهُ ٱللهُ حِينَ هَرَبَ مِنْ وَجْهِ أَخِيهِ.

And he built there an altar, and called the place El-beth-el; because there God had appeared to him when he fled from the face of his brother.

٨ 8 وَمَاتَتْ دَبُورَةُ مُرْضِعَةُ رِفْقَةَ وَدُفِنَتْ تَحْتَ بَيْتَ إِيلَ تَحْتَ ٱلْبَلُّوطَةِ، فَدَعَا ٱسْمَهَا «أَلُّونَ بَاكُوتَ».

And Deborah, Rebecca's nurse, died; and she was buried beneath Bethel, under the oak; and the name of it was called Allon-bachuth.

٩ 9 وَظَهَرَ ٱللهُ لِيَعْقُوبَ أَيْضًا حِينَ جَاءَ مِنْ فَدَّانِ أَرَامَ وَبَارَكَهُ.

And God appeared to Jacob again after he had come from Padan-Aram, and blessed him.

١٠ 10 وَقَالَ لَهُ ٱللهُ: «ٱسْمُكَ يَعْقُوبُ. لَا يُدْعَى ٱسْمُكَ فِيمَا بَعْدُ يَعْقُوبَ، بَلْ يَكُونُ ٱسْمُكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ». فَدَعَا ٱسْمَهُ «إِسْرَائِيلَ».

And God said to him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not henceforth be called Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name. And he called his name Israel.

١١ 11 وَقَالَ لَهُ ٱللهُ: «أَنَا ٱللهُ ٱلْقَدِيرُ. أَثْمِرْ وَٱكْثُرْ. أُمَّةٌ وَجَمَاعَةُ أُمَمٍ تَكُونُ مِنْكَ، وَمُلُوكٌ سَيَخْرُجُونَ مِنْ صُلْبِكَ.

And God said to him, I am the Almighty God: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee; and kings shall come out of thy loins.

١٢ 12 وَٱلْأَرْضُ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ، لَكَ أُعْطِيهَا، وَلِنَسْلِكَ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ أُعْطِي ٱلْأَرْضَ».

And the land that I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land.

١٣ 13 ثُمَّ صَعِدَ ٱللهُ عَنْهُ فِي ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ تَكَلَّمَ مَعَهُ.

And God went up from him in the place where he had talked with him.

١٤ 14 فَنَصَبَ يَعْقُوبُ عَمُودًا فِي ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ تَكَلَّمَ مَعَهُ، عَمُودًا مِنْ حَجَرٍ، وَسَكَبَ عَلَيْهِ سَكِيبًا، وَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِ زَيْتًا.

And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he had talked with him, a pillar of stone, and poured on it a drink-offering, and poured oil on it.

١٥ 15 وَدَعَا يَعْقُوبُ ٱسْمَ ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ تَكَلَّمَ ٱللهُ مَعَهُ «بَيْتَ إِيلَ».

And Jacob called the name of the place where God had talked with him, Beth-el.

١٦ 16 ثُمَّ رَحَلُوا مِنْ بَيْتِ إِيلَ. وَلَمَّا كَانَ مَسَافَةٌ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ بَعْدُ حَتَّى يَأْتُوا إِلَى أَفْرَاتَةَ، وَلَدَتْ رَاحِيلُ وَتَعَسَّرَتْ وِلَادَتُهَا.

And they journeyed from Bethel. And there was yet a certain distance to come to Ephrath, when Rachel travailed in childbirth; and it went hard with her in her childbearing.

١٧ 17 وَحَدَثَ حِينَ تَعسَّرَتْ وِلَادَتُهِا أَنَّ ٱلْقَابِلَةَ قَالَتِ لَهَا: «لَا تَخَافِي، لِأَنَّ هَذَا أَيْضًا ٱبْنٌ لَكِ».

And it came to pass when it went hard with her in her childbearing, that the midwife said to her, Fear not; for this also is a son for thee.

١٨ 18 وَكَانَ عِنْدَ خُرُوجِ نَفْسِهَا، لِأَنَّهَا مَاتَتْ، أَنَّهَا دَعَتِ ٱسْمَهُ «بَنْ أُونِي». وَأَمَّا أَبُوهُ فَدَعَاهُ «بَنْيَامِينَ».

And it came to pass as her soul was departing — for she died — that she called his name Benoni; but his father called him Benjamin.

١٩ 19 فَمَاتَتْ رَاحِيلُ وَدُفِنَتْ فِي طَرِيقِ أَفْرَاتَةَ، ٱلَّتِي هِيَ بَيْتُ لَحْمٍ.

And Rachel died, and was buried on the way to Ephrath, which [is] Bethlehem.

٢٠ 20 فَنَصَبَ يَعْقُوبُ عَمُودًا عَلَى قَبْرِهَا، وَهُوَ «عَمُودُ قَبْرِ رَاحِيلَ» إِلَى ٱلْيَوْمِ.

And Jacob erected a pillar upon her grave: that is the pillar of Rachel's grave to [this] day.

٢١ 21 ثُمَّ رَحَلَ إِسْرَائِيلُ وَنَصَبَ خَيْمَتَهُ وَرَاءَ مَجْدَلَ عِدْرٍ.

And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent on the other side of Migdal-Eder.

٢٢ 22 وَحَدَثَ إِذْ كَانَ إِسْرَائِيلُ سَاكِنًا فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، أَنَّ رَأُوبَيْنَ ذَهَبَ وَٱضْطَجَعَ مَعَ بِلْهَةَ سُرِّيَّةِ أَبِيهِ، وَسَمِعَ إِسْرَائِيلُ. وَكَانَ بَنُو يَعْقُوبَ ٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ:

And it came to pass when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah, his father's concubine; and Israel heard of it. And the sons of Jacob were twelve.

٢٣ 23 بَنُو لَيْئَةَ: رَأُوبَيْنُ بِكْرُ يَعْقُوبَ، وَشِمْعُونُ وَلَاوِي وَيَهُوذَا وَيَسَّاكَرُ وَزَبُولُونُ.

The sons of Leah: Reuben — Jacob's firstborn — and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun.

٢٤ 24 وَٱبْنَا رَاحِيلَ: يُوسُفُ وَبَنْيَامِينُ.

The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.

٢٥ 25 وَٱبْنَا بِلْهَةَ جَارِيَةِ رَاحِيلَ: دَانُ وَنَفْتَالِي.

And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's maidservant: Dan and Naphtali.

٢٦ 26 وَٱبْنَا زِلْفَةَ جَارِيَةِ لَيْئَةَ: جَادُ وَأَشِيرُ. هَؤُلَاءِ بَنُو يَعْقُوبَ ٱلَّذِينَ وُلِدُوا لَهُ فِي فَدَّانِ أَرَامَ.

And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's maidservant: Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob that were born to him in Padan-Aram.

٢٧ 27 وَجَاءَ يَعْقُوبُ إِلَى إِسْحَاقَ أَبِيهِ إِلَى مَمْرَا، قِرْيَةِ أَرْبَعَ، ٱلَّتِي هِيَ حَبْرُونُ، حَيْثُ تَغَرَّبَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَإِسْحَاقُ.

And Jacob came to Isaac his father to Mamre — to Kirjath-Arba, which is Hebron; where Abraham had sojourned, and Isaac.

٢٨ 28 وَكَانَتْ أَيَّامُ إِسْحَاقَ مِئَةً وَثَمَانِينَ سَنَةً.

And the days of Isaac were a hundred and eighty years.

٢٩ 29 فَأَسْلَمَ إِسْحَاقُ رُوحَهُ وَمَاتَ وَٱنْضَمَّ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ، شَيْخًا وَشَبْعَانَ أَيَّامًا. وَدَفَنَهُ عِيسُو وَيَعْقُوبُ ٱبْنَاهُ.

And Isaac expired and died, and was gathered to his peoples, old and full of days. And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
