اَلتَّكْوِينُ 43

١ 1 وَكَانَ ٱلْجُوعُ شَدِيدًا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ.

And the famine [was] heavy in the land.

٢ 2 وَحَدَثَ لَمَّا فَرَغُوا مِنْ أَكْلِ ٱلْقَمْحِ ٱلَّذِي جَاءُوا بِهِ مِنْ مِصْرَ، أَنَّ أَبَاهُمْ قَالَ لَهُمُ: «ٱرْجِعُوا ٱشْتَرُوا لَنَا قَلِيلًا مِنَ ٱلطَّعَامِ».

And it was just when they finished to eat the grain which they had brought from Egypt and he said to them father their go back buy for us a little of food.

٣ 3 فَكَلَّمَهُ يَهُوذَا قَائِلًا: «إِنَّ ٱلرَّجُلَ قَدْ أَشْهَدَ عَلَيْنَا قَائِلًا: لَا تَرَوْنَ وَجْهِي بِدُونِ أَنْ يَكُونَ أَخُوكُمْ مَعَكُمْ.

And he said to him Judah saying certainly he warned us the man saying not you will see face my except brother your [is] with you.

٤ 4 إِنْ كُنْتَ تُرْسِلُ أَخَانَا مَعَنَا، نَنْزِلُ وَنَشْتَرِي لَكَ طَعَامًا،

If there you [are] sending brother our with us we will go down and we will buy for you food.

٥ 5 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كُنْتَ لَا تُرْسِلُهُ لَا نَنْزِلُ. لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّجُلَ قَالَ لَنَا: لَا تَرَوْنَ وَجْهِي بِدُونِ أَنْ يَكُونَ أَخُوكُمْ مَعَكُمْ».

And if not you [are] sending [him] not we will go down for the man he said to us not you will see face my except brother your [is] with you.

٦ 6 فَقَالَ إِسْرَائِيلُ: «لِمَاذَا أَسَأْتُمْ إِلَيَّ حَتَّى أَخْبَرْتُمُ ٱلرَّجُلَ أَنَّ لَكُمْ أَخًا أَيْضًا؟»

And he said Israel why? did you do harm to me by telling to the man ¿ still [belong] to you [does] a brother.

٧ 7 فَقَالُوا: «إِنَّ ٱلرَّجُلَ قَدْ سَأَلَ عَنَّا وَعَنْ عَشِيرَتِنَا، قَائِلًا: هَلْ أَبُوكُمْ حَيٌّ بَعْدُ؟ هَلْ لَكُمْ أَخٌ؟ فَأَخْبَرْنَاهُ بِحَسَبِ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ. هَلْ كُنَّا نَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ يَقُولُ: ٱنْزِلُوا بِأَخِيكُمْ؟».

And they said carefully he asked the man of us and of kindred our saying ¿ still [is] father your living ¿ [does] there [belong] to you a brother and we told to him on [the] mouth of the words these ¿ really did we know that he will say bring down brother your.

٨ 8 وَقَالَ يَهُوذَا لِإِسْرَائِيلَ أَبِيهِ: «أَرْسِلِ ٱلْغُلَامَ مَعِي لِنَقُومَ وَنَذْهَبَ وَنَحْيَا وَلَا نَمُوتَ، نَحْنُ وَأَنْتَ وَأَوْلَادُنَا جَمِيعًا.

And he said Judah to Israel father his send! the young man with me so let us arise and we will go and we may live and not we will die both we as well as you as well as little one[s] our.

٩ 9 أَنَا أَضْمَنُهُ. مِنْ يَدِي تَطْلُبُهُ. إِنْ لَمْ أَجِئْ بِهِ إِلَيْكَ وَأُوقِفْهُ قُدَّامَكَ، أَصِرْ مُذْنِبًا إِلَيْكَ كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ.

I I will stand surety for him from hand my you will require him if not I have brought him to you and I will set him before you and I will be culpable to you all the days.

١٠ 10 لِأَنَّنَا لَوْ لَمْ نَتَوَانَ لَكُنَّا قَدْ رَجَعْنَا ٱلْآنَ مَرَّتَيْنِ».

For if not we had delayed for now we have returned this two times.

١١ 11 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ إِسْرَائِيلُ أَبُوهُمْ: «إِنْ كَانَ هَكَذَا فَٱفْعَلُوا هَذَا: خُذُوا مِنْ أَفْخَرِ جَنَى ٱلْأَرْضِ فِي أَوْعِيَتِكُمْ، وَأَنْزِلُوا لِلرَّجُلِ هَدِيَّةً. قَلِيلًا مِنَ ٱلْبَلَسَانِ، وَقَلِيلًا مِنَ ٱلْعَسَلِ، وَكَثِيرَاءَ وَلَاذَنًا وَفُسْتُقًا وَلَوْزًا.

And he said to them Israel father their if so - then this do take some of [the] best products of the land in vessels your and take down to the man a gift a little of balm and a little of honey spice and myrrh pistachio nuts and almonds.

١٢ 12 وَخُذُوا فِضَّةً أُخْرَى فِي أَيَادِيكُمْ. وَٱلْفِضَّةَ ٱلْمَرْدُودَةَ فِي أَفْوَاهِ عِدَالِكُمْ رُدُّوهَا فِي أَيَادِيكُمْ، لَعَلَّهُ كَانَ سَهْوًا.

And silver double take in hand your and the silver that was returned in [the] mouth of sacks your you will take back in hand your perhaps [was] a mistake it.

١٣ 13 وَخُذُوا أَخَاكُمْ وَقُومُوا ٱرْجِعُوا إِلَى ٱلرَّجُلِ.

And brother your take and arise go back to the man.

١٤ 14 وَٱللهُ ٱلْقَدِيرُ يُعْطِيكُمْ رَحْمَةً أَمَامَ ٱلرَّجُلِ حَتَّى يُطْلِقَ لَكُمْ أَخَاكُمُ ٱلْآخَرَ وَبَنْيَامِينَ. وَأَنَا إِذَا عَدِمْتُ ٱلْأَوْلَادَ عَدِمْتُهُمْ».

And God Almighty may he give to you compassion before the man and he will let go to you brother your other and Benjamin and I just when I have been bereaved I have been bereaved.

١٥ 15 فَأَخَذَ ٱلرِّجَالُ هَذِهِ ٱلْهَدِيَّةَ، وَأَخَذُوا ضِعْفَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ فِي أَيَادِيهِمْ، وَبَنْيَامِينَ، وَقَامُوا وَنَزَلُوا إِلَى مِصْرَ وَوَقَفُوا أَمَامَ يُوسُفَ.

And they took the men the gift this and double money they took in hand their and Benjamin and they arose and they went down Egypt and they stood before Joseph.

١٦ 16 فَلَمَّا رَأَى يُوسُفُ بَنْيَامِينَ مَعَهُمْ، قَالَ لِلَّذِي عَلَى بَيْتِهِ: «أَدْخِلِ ٱلرِّجَالَ إِلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ وَٱذْبَحْ ذَبِيحَةً وَهَيِّئْ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرِّجَالَ يَأْكُلُونَ مَعِي عِنْدَ ٱلظُّهْرِ».

And he saw Joseph with them Benjamin and he said to [the one] who [was] over household his bring the men the house towards and slaughter a slaughter and prepare [it] for with me they will eat the men at noon.

١٧ 17 فَفَعَلَ ٱلرَّجُلُ كَمَا قَالَ يُوسُفُ. وَأَدْخَلَ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلرِّجَالَ إِلَى بَيْتِ يُوسُفَ.

And he did the man just as he said Joseph and he brought the man the men [the] house of towards Joseph.

١٨ 18 فَخَافَ ٱلرِّجَالُ إِذْ أُدْخِلُوا إِلَى بَيْتِ يُوسُفَ، وَقَالُوا: «لِسَبَبِ ٱلْفِضَّةِ ٱلَّتِي رَجَعَتْ أَوَّلًا فِي عِدَالِنَا نَحْنُ قَدْ أُدْخِلْنَا لِيَهْجِمَ عَلَيْنَا وَيَقَعَ بِنَا وَيَأْخُذَنَا عَبِيدًا وَحَمِيرَنَا».

And they were afraid the men that they were brought [the] house of Joseph and they said on [the] matter of the silver which returned in sacks our at the beginning we [are] being brought to roll himself on us and to throw himself on us and to take us to slaves and donkeys our.

١٩ 19 فَتَقَدَّمُوا إِلَى ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلَّذِي عَلَى بَيْتِ يُوسُفَ، وَكَلَّمُوهُ فِي بَابِ ٱلْبَيْتِ

And they approached the man who [was] over [the] household of Joseph and they spoke to him [the] entrance of the house.

٢٠ 20 وَقَالُوا: «ٱسْتَمِعْ يَا سَيِّدِي، إِنَّنَا قَدْ نَزَلْنَا أَوَّلًا لِنَشْتَرِيَ طَعَامًا.

And they said pardon us O lord my certainly we came down at the beginning to buy food.

٢١ 21 وَكَانَ لَمَّا أَتَيْنَا إِلَى ٱلْمَنْزِلِ أَنَّنَا فَتَحْنَا عِدَالَنَا، وَإِذَا فِضَّةُ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ فِي فَمِ عِدْلِهِ. فِضَّتُنَا بِوَزْنِهَا. فَقَدْ رَدَدْنَاهَا فِي أَيَادِينَا.

And it was that we came to the lodging place and we opened! sacks our and there! [the] silver of each man [was] in [the] mouth of sack his silver our in weight its and we have brought back it in hand our.

٢٢ 22 وَأَنْزَلْنَا فِضَّةً أُخْرَى فِي أَيَادِينَا لِنَشْتَرِيَ طَعَامًا. لَا نَعْلَمُ مَنْ وَضَعَ فِضَّتَنَا فِي عِدَالِنَا».

And silver other we have brought down in hand our to buy food not we know who? did he put silver our in sacks our.

٢٣ 23 فَقَالَ: «سَلَامٌ لَكُمْ، لَا تَخَافُوا. إِلَهُكُمْ وَإِلَهُ أَبِيكُمْ أَعْطَاكُمْ كَنْزًا فِي عِدَالِكُمْ. فِضَّتُكُمْ وَصَلَتْ إِلَيَّ». ثُمَّ أَخْرَجَ إِلَيْهِمْ شِمْعُونَ.

And he said peace [be] to you may not you fear God your and [the] God of father your he gave to you treasure in sacks your silver your it came to me and he brought out to them Simeon.

٢٤ 24 وَأَدْخَلَ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلرِّجَالَ إِلَى بَيْتِ يُوسُفَ وَأَعْطَاهُمْ مَاءً لِيَغْسِلُوا أَرْجُلَهُمْ، وَأَعْطَى عَلِيقًا لِحَمِيرِهِمْ.

And he brought the man the men [the] house of towards Joseph and he gave water and they washed feet their and he gave fodder to donkeys their.

٢٥ 25 وَهَيَّأُوا ٱلْهَدِيَّةَ إِلَى أَنْ يَجِيءَ يُوسُفُ عِنْدَ ٱلظُّهْرِ، لِأَنَّهُمْ سَمِعُوا أَنَّهُمْ هُنَاكَ يَأْكُلُونَ طَعَامًا.

And they prepared the gift until came Joseph at noon for they had heard that there they will eat food.

٢٦ 26 فَلَمَّا جَاءَ يُوسُفُ إِلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ أَحْضَرُوا إِلَيْهِ ٱلْهَدِيَّةَ ٱلَّتِي فِي أَيَادِيهِمْ إِلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ، وَسَجَدُوا لَهُ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ.

And he came Joseph the house towards and they brought to him the gift which [was] in hand their the house towards and they bowed down to him [the] ground towards.

٢٧ 27 فَسَأَلَ عَنْ سَلَامَتِهِمْ، وَقَالَ: «أَسَالِمٌ أَبُوكُمُ ٱلشَّيْخُ ٱلَّذِي قُلْتُمْ عَنْهُ؟ أَحَيٌّ هُوَ بَعْدُ؟»

And he asked of them to welfare and he said ¿ health [is] father your old whom you spoke ¿ [is] still he alive.

٢٨ 28 فَقَالُوا: «عَبْدُكَ أَبُونَا سَالِمٌ. هُوَ حَيٌّ بَعْدُ». وَخَرُّوا وَسَجَدُوا.

And they said health [belongs] to servant your to father our still he [is] alive and they bowed low (and they bowed down. *Q(K)*)

٢٩ 29 فَرَفَعَ عَيْنَيْهِ وَنَظَرَ بَنْيَامِينَ أَخَاهُ ٱبْنَ أُمِّهِ، وَقَالَ: «أَهَذَا أَخُوكُمُ ٱلصَّغِيرُ ٱلَّذِي قُلْتُمْ لِي عَنْهُ؟» ثُمَّ قَالَ: «ٱللهُ يُنْعِمُ عَلَيْكَ يَا ٱبْنِي».

And he lifted up eyes his and he saw Benjamin brother his [the] son of mother his and he said ¿ [is] this brother your young whom you spoke to me and he said God may he show favor to you O son my.

٣٠ 30 وَٱسْتَعْجَلَ يُوسُفُ لِأَنَّ أَحْشَاءَهُ حَنَّتْ إِلَى أَخِيهِ وَطَلَبَ مَكَانًا لِيَبْكِيَ، فَدَخَلَ ٱلْمَخْدَعَ وَبَكَى هُنَاكَ.

And he hurried Joseph for they grew warm compassion his to brother his and he sought to weep and he went the inner room towards and he wept there.

٣١ 31 ثُمَّ غَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ وَخَرَجَ وَتَجَلَّدَ، وَقَالَ: «قَدِّمُوا طَعَامًا».

And he washed face his and he came out and he restrained himself and he said set food.

٣٢ 32 فَقَدَّمُوا لَهُ وَحْدَهُ، وَلَهُمْ وَحْدَهُمْ، وَلِلْمِصْرِيِّينَ ٱلْآكِلِينَ عِنْدَهُ وَحْدَهُمْ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ لَا يَقْدِرُونَ أَنْ يَأْكُلُوا طَعَامًا مَعَ ٱلْعِبْرَانِيِّينَ، لِأَنَّهُ رِجْسٌ عِنْدَ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ.

And they set for him to only him and to them to alone them and for the Egyptians who were eating with him to alone them for not they were able! the Egyptians to eat with the Hebrews food for [is] an abomination it to Egypt.

٣٣ 33 فَجَلَسُوا قُدَّامَهُ: ٱلْبِكْرُ بِحَسَبِ بَكُورِيَّتِهِ، وَٱلصَّغِيرُ بِحَسَبِ صِغَرِهِ، فَبُهِتَ ٱلرِّجَالُ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ.

And they sat down before him the firstborn according to birthright his and the young [brother] according to youth his and they looked in astonishment the men each to neighbor his.
