اَلتَّكْوِينُ 48
| وَحَدَثَ بَعْدَ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ أَنَّهُ قِيلَ لِيُوسُفَ: «هُوَذَا أَبُوكَ مَرِيضٌ». فَأَخَذَ مَعَهُ ٱبْنَيْهِ مَنَسَّى وَأَفْرَايِمَ. | ١ 1 |
And it comes to pass, after these things, that [one] says to Joseph, “Behold, your father is sick”; and he takes his two sons with him, Manasseh and Ephraim.
| فَأُخْبِرَ يَعْقُوبُ وَقِيلَ لَهُ: «هُوَذَا ٱبْنُكَ يُوسُفُ قَادِمٌ إِلَيْكَ». فَتَشَدَّدَ إِسْرَائِيلُ وَجَلَسَ عَلَى ٱلسَّرِيرِ. | ٢ 2 |
And [one] declares [it] to Jacob and says, “Behold, your son Joseph is coming to you”; and Israel strengthens himself, and sits on the bed.
| وَقَالَ يَعْقُوبُ لِيُوسُفَ: «ٱللهُ ٱلْقَادِرُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ ظَهَرَ لِي فِي لُوزَ، فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ، وَبَارَكَنِي. | ٣ 3 |
And Jacob says to Joseph, “God Almighty has appeared to me, in Luz, in the land of Canaan, and blesses me,
| وَقَالَ لِي: هَا أَنَا أَجْعَلُكَ مُثْمِرًا وَأُكَثِّرُكَ، وَأَجْعَلُكَ جُمْهُورًا مِنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَأُعْطِي نَسْلَكَ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضَ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ مُلْكًا أَبَدِيًّا. | ٤ 4 |
and says to me, Behold, I am making you fruitful, and have multiplied you, and given you for an assembly of peoples, and given this land to your seed after you, a continuous possession.
| وَٱلْآنَ ٱبْنَاكَ ٱلْمَوْلُودَانِ لَكَ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، قَبْلَمَا أَتَيْتُ إِلَيْكَ إِلَى مِصْرَ هُمَا لِي. أَفْرَايِمُ وَمَنَسَّى كَرَأُوبَيْنَ وَشِمْعُونَ يَكُونَانِ لِي. | ٥ 5 |
And now, your two sons, who are born to you in the land of Egypt, before my coming to you to Egypt, they [are] mine; Ephraim and Manasseh, as Reuben and Simeon, they are mine;
| وَأَمَّا أَوْلَادُكَ ٱلَّذِينَ تَلِدُ بَعْدَهُمَا فَيَكُونُونَ لَكَ. عَلَى ٱسْمِ أَخَوَيْهِمْ يُسَمَّوْنَ فِي نَصِيبِهِمْ. | ٦ 6 |
and your family which you have begotten after them are yours; by the name of their brothers they are called in their inheritance.
| وَأَنَا حِينَ جِئْتُ مِنْ فَدَّانَ مَاتَتْ عِنْدِي رَاحِيلُ فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ، إِذْ بَقِيَتْ مَسَافَةٌ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ حَتَّى آتِيَ إِلَى أَفْرَاتَةَ، فَدَفَنْتُهَا هُنَاكَ فِي طَرِيقِ أَفْرَاتَةَ، ٱلَّتِي هِيَ بَيْتُ لَحْمٍ». | ٧ 7 |
And I—in my coming in from Padan-[Aram] Rachel has died by me in the land of Canaan, in the way, while yet a distance of land to enter Ephrata, and I bury her there in the way of Ephrata, which [is] Beth-Lehem.”
| وَرَأَى إِسْرَائِيلُ ٱبْنَيْ يُوسُفَ فَقَالَ: «مَنْ هَذَانِ؟». | ٨ 8 |
And Israel sees the sons of Joseph and says, “Who [are] these?”
| فَقَالَ يُوسُفُ لِأَبِيهِ: «هُمَا ٱبْنَايَ ٱللَّذَانِ أَعْطَانِيَ ٱللهُ هَهُنَا». فَقَالَ: «قَدِّمْهُمَا إِلَيَّ لِأُبَارِكَهُمَا». | ٩ 9 |
And Joseph says to his father, “They [are] my sons, whom God has given to me in this [place]”; and he says, “Please bring them to me, and I bless them.”
| وَأَمَّا عَيْنَا إِسْرَائِيلَ فَكَانَتَا قَدْ ثَقُلَتَا مِنَ ٱلشَّيْخُوخَةِ، لَا يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يُبْصِرَ، فَقَرَّبَهُمَا إِلَيْهِ فَقَبَّلَهُمَا وَٱحْتَضَنَهُمَا. | ١٠ 10 |
And the eyes of Israel have been heavy from age—he is unable to see; and he brings them near to him, and he kisses them and cleaves to them;
| وَقَالَ إِسْرَائِيلُ لِيُوسُفَ: «لَمْ أَكُنْ أَظُنُّ أَنِّي أَرَى وَجْهَكَ، وَهُوَذَا ٱللهُ قَدْ أَرَانِي نَسْلَكَ أَيْضًا». | ١١ 11 |
and Israel says to Joseph, “I had not thought [possible] to see your face, and behold, God has also showed me your seed.”
| ثُمَّ أَخْرَجَهُمَا يُوسُفُ مِنْ بَيْنَ رُكْبَتَيْهِ وَسَجَدَ أَمَامَ وَجْهِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ١٢ 12 |
And Joseph brings them out from between his knees, and bows himself on his face to the earth;
| وَأَخَذَ يُوسُفُ ٱلِٱثْنَيْنِ أَفْرَايِمَ بِيَمِينِهِ عَنْ يَسَارِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَمَنَسَّى بِيَسَارِهِ عَنْ يَمِينِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقَرَّبَهُمَا إِلَيْهِ. | ١٣ 13 |
and Joseph takes them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel’s left, and Manasseh in his left toward Israel’s right, and brings [them] near to him.
| فَمَدَّ إِسْرَائِيلُ يَمِينَهُ وَوَضَعَهَا عَلَى رَأْسِ أَفْرَايِمَ وَهُوَ ٱلصَّغِيرُ، وَيَسَارَهُ عَلَى رَأْسِ مَنَسَّى. وَضَعَ يَدَيْهِ بِفِطْنَةٍ فَإِنَّ مَنَسَّى كَانَ ٱلْبِكْرَ. | ١٤ 14 |
And Israel puts out his right hand and places [it] on the head of Ephraim, who [is] the younger, and his left hand on the head of Manasseh; he has guided his hands wisely, for Manasseh [is] the firstborn.
| وَبَارَكَ يُوسُفَ وَقَالَ: «ٱللهُ ٱلَّذِي سَارَ أَمَامَهُ أَبَوَايَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَإِسْحَاقُ، ٱللهُ ٱلَّذِي رَعَانِي مُنْذُ وُجُودِي إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ، | ١٥ 15 |
And he blesses Joseph and says, “God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac habitually walked: God who is feeding me from my being to this day:
| ٱلْمَلَاكُ ٱلَّذِي خَلَّصَنِي مِنْ كُلِّ شَرٍّ، يُبَارِكُ ٱلْغُلَامَيْنِ. وَلْيُدْعَ عَلَيْهِمَا ٱسْمِي وَٱسْمُ أَبَوَيَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ، وَلْيَكْثُرَا كَثِيرًا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ». | ١٦ 16 |
the Messenger who is redeeming me from all evil blesses the youths, and my name is called on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and they increase into a multitude in the midst of the land.”
| فَلَمَّا رَأَى يُوسُفُ أَنَّ أَبَاهُ وَضَعَ يَدَهُ ٱلْيُمْنَى عَلَى رَأْسِ أَفْرَايِمَ، سَاءَ ذَلِكَ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ، فَأَمْسَكَ بِيَدِ أَبِيهِ لِيَنْقُلَهَا عَنْ رَأْسِ أَفْرَايِمَ إِلَى رَأْسِ مَنَسَّى. | ١٧ 17 |
And Joseph sees that his father sets his right hand on the head of Ephraim, and it is wrong in his eyes, and he supports the hand of his father to turn it aside from off the head of Ephraim to the head of Manasseh;
| وَقَالَ يُوسُفُ لِأَبِيهِ: «لَيْسَ هَكَذَا يَا أَبِي، لِأَنَّ هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْبِكْرُ. ضَعْ يَمِينَكَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ». | ١٨ 18 |
and Joseph says to his father, “Not so, my father, for this [is] the firstborn; set your right hand on his head.”
| فَأَبَى أَبُوهُ وَقَالَ: «عَلِمْتُ يَا ٱبْنِي، عَلِمْتُ. هُوَ أَيْضًا يَكُونُ شَعْبًا، وَهُوَ أَيْضًا يَصِيرُ كَبِيرًا. وَلَكِنَّ أَخَاهُ ٱلصَّغِيرَ يَكُونُ أَكْبَرَ مِنْهُ، وَنَسْلُهُ يَكُونُ جُمْهُورًا مِنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ». | ١٩ 19 |
And his father refuses and says, “I have known, my son, I have known; he also becomes a people, and he also is great, and yet, his young brother is greater than he, and his seed is the fullness of the nations”;
| وَبَارَكَهُمَا فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ قَائِلًا: «بِكَ يُبَارِكُ إِسْرَائِيلُ قَائِلًا: يَجْعَلُكَ ٱللهُ كَأَفْرَايِمَ وَكَمَنَسَّى». فَقَدَّمَ أَفْرَايِمَ عَلَى مَنَسَّى. | ٢٠ 20 |
and he blesses them in that day, saying, “By you does Israel bless, saying, God set you as Ephraim and as Manasseh”; and he sets Ephraim before Manasseh.
| وَقَالَ إِسْرَائِيلُ لِيُوسُفَ: «هَا أَنَا أَمُوتُ، وَلَكِنَّ ٱللهَ سَيَكُونُ مَعَكُمْ وَيَرُدُّكُمْ إِلَى أَرْضِ آبَائِكُمْ. | ٢١ 21 |
And Israel says to Joseph, “Behold, I am dying, and God has been with you, and has brought you back to the land of your fathers;
| وَأَنَا قَدْ وَهَبْتُ لَكَ سَهْمًا وَاحِدًا فَوْقَ إِخْوَتِكَ، أَخَذْتُهُ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ بِسَيْفِي وَقَوْسِي». | ٢٢ 22 |
and I have given to you one portion above your brothers, which I have taken out of the hand of the Amorite by my sword and by my bow.”
