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 to God, that appeared to you when you fled from the face of Esau your brother.

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

Then Jacob said to his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, 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 let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which 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 which were in their hand, and all their earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was 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 on 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.

So 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 Elbethel: because there God 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».

But Deborah Rebekah’s nurse died, and she was buried beneath Bethel under an oak: and the name of it was called Allonbachuth.

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

And God appeared to Jacob again, when he came out of Padanaram, 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, Your name is Jacob: your name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be your 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 God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of you, and kings shall come out of your loins;

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

And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to you I will give it, and to your seed after you 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 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 talked with him, even a pillar of stone: and he poured a drink offering thereon, and he poured oil thereon.

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

And Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him, Bethel.

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 but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labor.

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

And it came to pass, when she was in hard labor, that the midwife said to her, Fear not; you shall have this son also.

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 in 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 in the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem.

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

And Jacob set a pillar on 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 beyond the tower of Edar.

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 dwelled in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father’s concubine: and Israel heard it. Now 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 handmaid; 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 handmaid: Gad, and Asher: these are the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Padanaram.

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 the city of Arbah, which is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.

٢٨ 28 وَكَانَتْ أَيَّامُ إِسْحَاقَ مِئَةً وَثَمَانِينَ سَنَةً.

And the days of Isaac were an hundred and fourscore years.

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

And Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, and was gathered to his people, being old and full of days: and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
