تكوين 24
| وَشَاخَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَتَقَدَّمَ بِهِ الْعُمْرُ. وَبَارَكَ الرَّبُّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ. | ١ 1 |
And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.
| وَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ لِرَئِيسِ عَبِيدِهِ، الْمُتَوَلِّي جَمِيعَ شُؤُونِ بَيْتِهِ: «ضَعْ يَدَكَ تَحْتَ فَخْذِي، | ٢ 2 |
And Abraham said to his oldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray you, your hand under my thigh:
| فَأَسْتَحْلِفَكَ بِالرَّبِّ إِلَهِ السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ أَنْ لَا تَأْخُذَ لابْنِي زَوْجَةً مِنْ بَنَاتِ الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ الَّذِيْنَ أَنَا مُقِيمٌ فِي وَسَطِهِمْ. | ٣ 3 |
And I will make you swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that you shall not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:
| بَلْ تَمْضِي إِلَى بَلَدِي وَإِلَى عَشِيرَتِي، وَتَأْخُذُ زَوْجَةً لابْنِي إِسْحاقَ». | ٤ 4 |
But you shall go to my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife to my son Isaac.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ الْعَبْدُ: «هَبْ أَنَّ الْمَرْأَةَ لَا تَشَاءُ أَنْ تَتْبَعَنِي إِلَى هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ، فَهَلْ أَرْجِعُ بِابْنِكَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي ارْتَحَلْتَ عَنْهَا؟». | ٥ 5 |
And the servant said to him, Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me to this land: must I needs bring your son again to the land from where you came?
| فَأَجَابَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ: «إِيَّاكَ أَنْ تَرْجِعَ بِابْنِي إِلَى هُنَاكَ، | ٦ 6 |
And Abraham said to him, Beware you that you bring not my son thither again.
| فَالرَّبُّ إِلَهُ السَّمَاءِ الَّذِي أَخَذَنِي مِنْ بَيْتِ أَبِي وَمِنْ أَرْضِ قَوْمِي، وَخَاطَبَنِي وَأَقْسَمَ لِي قَائِلاً: لِذُرِّيَّتِكَ أَهَبُ هَذِهِ الأَرْضَ، هُوَ يُرْسِلُ مَلاكَهُ أَمَامَكَ لِتَأْخُذَ زَوْجَةً لابْنِي مِنْ هُنَاكَ. | ٧ 7 |
The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father’s house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spoke to me, and that swore to me, saying, To your seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before you, and you shall take a wife to my son from there.
| إِنْ أَبَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ أَنْ تَتْبَعَكَ، تَكُونُ آنَئِذٍ فِي حِلٍّ مِنْ حَلْفِي هَذَا، أَمَّا ابْنِي فَإِيَّاكَ أَنْ تَرْجِعَ بِهِ إِلَى هُنَاكَ». | ٨ 8 |
And if the woman will not be willing to follow you, then you shall be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son thither again.
| فَوَضَعَ الْعَبْدُ يَدَهُ تَحْتَ فَخْذِ سَيِّدِهِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَحَلَفَ لَهُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ. | ٩ 9 |
And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning that matter.
| وَاخْتَارَ الْعَبْدُ عَشَرَةَ جِمَالٍ وَحَمَّلَهَا مِنْ جَمِيعِ خَيْرَاتِ مَوْلاهُ الَّتِي فِي يَدِهِ، وَقَامَ وَانْطَلَقَ إِلَى أَرَامِ النَّهْرَيْنِ إِلَى مَدِينَةِ نَاحُورَ. | ١٠ 10 |
And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed; for all the goods of his master were in his hand: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, to the city of Nahor.
| وَهُنَاكَ أَنَاخَ الْجِمَالَ خَارِجَ الْمَدِينَةِ عِنْدَ بِئْرِ الْمَاءِ وَقْتَ الْمَسَاءِ، فِي مَوْعِدِ خُرُوجِ الْمُسْتَقِيَاتِ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ، | ١١ 11 |
And he made his camels to kneel down without the city by a well of water at the time of the evening, even the time that women go out to draw water.
| وَقَالَ: «أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهَ سَيِّدِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَتَوَسَّلُ إِلَيْكَ أَنْ تُيَسِّرَ أَمْرِي الْيَوْمَ وَتُسْدِيَ مَعْرُوفاً لِسَيِّدِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ. | ١٢ 12 |
And he said O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray you, send me good speed this day, and show kindness to my master Abraham.
| هَا أَنَا وَاقِفٌ عِنْدَ بِئْرِ الْمَاءِ حَيْثُ تُقْبِلُ بَنَاتُ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ | ١٣ 13 |
Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:
| فَلْيَكُنْ أَنَّ الْفَتَاةَ الَّتِي أَقُولُ لَهَا: ضَعِي جَرَّتَكِ لأَشْرَبَ مِنْهَا، فَتُجِيبُ: اشْرَبْ وَأَنَا أَسْقِي جِمَالَكَ أَيْضاً، تَكُونُ هِيَ الَّتِي اخْتَرْتَهَا لِعَبْدِكَ إِسْحاقَ. وَبِذَلِكَ أُدْرِكُ أَنَّكَ أَسْدَيْتَ مَعْرُوفاً لِسَيِّدِي». | ١٤ 14 |
And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down your pitcher, I pray you, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give your camels drink also: let the same be she that you have appointed for your servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that you have showed kindness to my master.
| وَقَبْلَ أَنْ يُتِمَّ صَلاتَهُ إِذَا بِهِ يُشَاهِدُ رِفْقَةَ ابْنَةَ بَتُوئِيلَ ابْنِ مِلْكَةَ زَوْجَةِ نَاحُورَ أَخِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ مُقْبِلَةً، وَجَرَّتُهَا عَلَى كَتِفِهَا. | ١٥ 15 |
And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, with her pitcher on her shoulder.
| وَكَانَتِ الْفَتَاةُ رَائِعَةَ الْجَمَالِ، عَذْرَاءَ لَمْ يَمَسَّهَا رَجُلٌ. فَنَزَلَتْ إِلَى الْعَيْنِ وَمَلأَتْ جَرَّتَهَا ثُمَّ صَعِدَتْ، | ١٦ 16 |
And the damsel was very fair to look on, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up.
| فَرَكَضَ الْعَبْدُ لِلِقَائِهَا وَقَالَ: «أَرْجُوكِ، اسْقِينِي قَلِيلاً مِنْ مَاءِ جَرَّتِكِ». | ١٧ 17 |
And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray you, drink a little water of your pitcher.
| فَأَجَابَتِ الْفَتَاةُ: «اشْرَبْ يَا سَيِّدِي». وَأَسْرَعَتْ وَأَنْزَلَتْ جَرَّتَهَا عَلَى يَدِهَا وَسَقَتْهُ. | ١٨ 18 |
And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hurried, and let down her pitcher on her hand, and gave him drink.
| وَبَعْدَ أَنْ شَرِبَ قَالَتْ: «أَسْتَقِي لِجِمَالِكَ أَيْضاً حَتَّى تَرْتَوِيَ». | ١٩ 19 |
And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for your camels also, until they have done drinking.
| وَمَضَتْ مُسْرِعَةً وَأَفْرَغَتْ جَرَّتَهَا فِي حَوْضِ الْمَاءِ، ثُمَّ رَكَضَتْ نَحْوَ الْبِئْرِ فَاسْتَقَتْ لِكُلِّ جِمَالِهِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
And she hurried, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again to the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels.
| وَظَلَّ الرَّجُلُ يَتَأَمَّلُهَا صَامِتاً لِيَعْلَمَ إِنْ كَانَ الرَّبُّ قَدْ وَفَّقَ مَسْعَاهُ أَمْ لا. | ٢١ 21 |
And the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not.
| وَعِنْدَمَا ارْتَوَتِ الْجِمَالُ تَنَاوَلَ الرَّجُلُ خِزَامَةً ذَهَبِيَّةً وَزْنُهَا نِصْفُ شَاقِلٍ (نَحْوَ سِتَّةِ جِرَامَاتٍ) وَسُوَارَيْنِ ذَهَبِيَّيْنِ وَزْنُهُمَا عَشَرَةُ شَواقِلَ (نَحْوَ مِئَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ جِرَاماً)، | ٢٢ 22 |
And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking, that the man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold;
| وَسَأَلَهَا: «ابْنَةُ مَنْ أَنْتِ؟ أَخْبِرِينِي: هَلْ فِي بَيْتِ أَبِيكِ مَوْضِعٌ نَبِيتُ فِيهِ؟» | ٢٣ 23 |
And said, Whose daughter are you? tell me, I pray you: is there room in your father’s house for us to lodge in?
| فَأَجَابَتْهُ: «أَنَا ابْنَةُ بَتُوئِيلَ ابْنِ مِلْكَةَ الَّذِي أَنْجَبَتْهُ لِنَاحُورَ، | ٢٤ 24 |
And she said to him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, which she bore to Nahor.
| عِنْدَنَا كَثِيرٌ مِنَ التِّبْنِ وَالْعَلَفِ، وَمَكَانٌ لِتَبِيتُوا فِيهِ». | ٢٥ 25 |
She said moreover to him, We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in.
| فَأَطْرَقَ الرَّجُلُ بِرَأْسِهِ وَسَجَدَ لِلرَّبِّ مُصَلِّياً: | ٢٦ 26 |
And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the LORD.
| «تَبَارَكَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ سَيِّدِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ الَّذِي لَمْ يَتَخَلَّ عَنْ لُطْفِهِ وَوَفَائِهِ لِسَيِّدِي. أَمَّا أَنَا فَقَدْ هَدَانِي الرَّبُّ فِي الطَّرِيقِ إِلَى بَيْتِ إِخْوَةِ سَيِّدِي». | ٢٧ 27 |
And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham, who has not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth: I being in the way, the LORD led me to the house of my master’s brothers.
| فَهُرِعَتِ الْفَتَاةُ وَأَخْبَرَتْ بَيْتَ أُمِّهَا بِهَذِهِ الأُمُورِ. | ٢٨ 28 |
And the damsel ran, and told them of her mother’s house these things.
| وَكَانَ لِرِفْقَةَ أَخٌ يُدْعَى لابَانَ، فَأَسْرَعَ نَحْوَ الرَّجُلِ عِنْدَ بِئْرِ الْمَاءِ، | ٢٩ 29 |
And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban: and Laban ran out to the man, to the well.
| إِذْ كَانَ قَدْ رَأَى الْخِزَامَةَ وَالسِّوَارَيْنِ عَلَى يَدَيْ أُخْتِهِ، وَسَمِعَ حَدِيثَهَا عَنِ الرَّجُلِ؛ فَوَجَدَهُ وَاقِفاً بِالْقُرْبِ مِنَ الْجِمَالِ عِنْدَ الْمَاءِ، | ٣٠ 30 |
And it came to pass, when he saw the earring and bracelets on his sister’s hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spoke the man to me; that he came to the man; and, behold, he stood by the camels at the well.
| فَقَالَ: «ادْخُلْ أَيُّهَا الْمُبَارَكُ مِنَ الرَّبِّ، لِمَاذَا تَقِفُ خَارِجاً؟ لَقَدْ أَعْدَدْتُ الْبَيْتَ وَكَذَلِكَ مَكَاناً لِلْجِمَالِ». | ٣١ 31 |
And he said, Come in, you blessed of the LORD; why stand you without? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.
| فَدَخَلَ الرَّجُلُ إِلَى الْمَنْزِلِ، وَحَلَّ عَنِ الْجِمَالِ، وَقَدَّمَ لَهَا تِبْناً وَعَلَفاً، وَأَتَى لابَانُ بِمَاءٍ لِغَسْلِ رِجْلَيْهِ وَأَرْجُلِ مُرَافِقِيهِ. | ٣٢ 32 |
And the man came into the house: and he ungirded his camels, and gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the men’s feet that were with him.
| ثُمَّ وَضَعَ الطَّعَامَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ لِيَأْكُلَ. لَكِنَّهُ قَالَ: «لَنْ آكُلَ حَتَّى أُخْبِرَكُمْ بِمَا يَجِبُ أَنْ أَقُولَهُ». فَقَالَ لَهُ: «تَكَلَّمْ». | ٣٣ 33 |
And there was set meat before him to eat: but he said, I will not eat, until I have told my errand. And he said, Speak on.
| فَقَالَ: «أَنَا عَبْدُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، | ٣٤ 34 |
And he said, I am Abraham’s servant.
| وَقَدْ أَغْدَقَ الرَّبُّ عَلَى مَوْلايَ بَرَكَاتٍ جَمَّةً فَصَارَ عَظِيماً، إِذْ أَنْعَمَ عَلَيْهِ بِغَنَمٍ وَبَقَرٍ وَفِضَّةٍ وَذَهَبٍ وَعَبِيدٍ وَإِمَاءٍ وَجِمَالٍ وَحَمِيرٍ. | ٣٥ 35 |
And the LORD has blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he has given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses.
| وَأَنْجَبَتْ سَارَةُ امْرَأَةُ سَيِّدِي بَعْدَ أَنْ شَاخَتِ ابْناً لِسَيِّدِي أَوْرَثَهُ كُلَّ مَالَهُ | ٣٦ 36 |
And Sarah my master’s wife bore a son to my master when she was old: and to him has he given all that he has.
| وَقَدِ اسْتَحْلَفَنِي سَيِّدِي أَلّا آخُذَ زَوْجَةً لابْنِهِ مِنْ بَنَاتِ الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ يَسْكُنُ أَرْضَهُمْ، | ٣٧ 37 |
And my master made me swear, saying, You shall not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell:
| بَلْ أَذْهَبُ إِلَى بَيْتِ أَبِيهِ وَعَشِيرَتِهِ وَآخُذُ لابْنِهِ مِنْهُمْ زَوْجَةً. | ٣٨ 38 |
But you shall go to my father’s house, and to my kindred, and take a wife to my son.
| فَقُلْتُ لِسَيِّدِي: قَدْ تَأْبَى الْفَتَاةُ أَنْ تَتْبَعَنِي إِلَى هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ. | ٣٩ 39 |
And I said to my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow me.
| فَأَجَابَنِي: إِنَّ الرَّبَّ الَّذِي سَلَكْتُ أَمَامَهُ، هُوَ يُرْسِلُ مَلاكَهُ مَعَكَ وَيُوَفِّقُ مَسْعَاكَ فَتَأْخُذُ لابْنِي زَوْجَةً مِنْ عَشِيرَتِي وَمِنْ بَيْتِ أَبِي. | ٤٠ 40 |
And he said to me, The LORD, before whom I walk, will send his angel with you, and prosper your way; and you shall take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father’s house:
| وَإذَا قَدِمْتَ عَلَى قَوْمِي وَرَفَضُوا أَنْ يُعْطُوكَ إِيَّاهَا تَكُونُ آنَئِذٍ فِي حِلٍّ مِنْ حَلْفِي. | ٤١ 41 |
Then shall you be clear from this my oath, when you come to my kindred; and if they give not you one, you shall be clear from my oath.
| فَأَقْبَلْتُ الْيَوْمَ عَلَى الْعَيْنِ وَقُلْتُ: أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ، إِلَهَ سَيِّدِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ. أَرْجُوكَ أَنْ تُوَفِّقَ مَسْعَايَ الَّذِي مِنْ أَجْلِهِ قُمْتُ بِهَذِهِ الرِّحْلَةِ. | ٤٢ 42 |
And I came this day to the well, and said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, if now you do prosper my way which I go:
| هَا أَنَا وَاقِفٌ عِنْدَ بِئْرِ الْمَاءِ، فَلْيَكُنْ أَنَّ الْفَتَاةَ الَّتِي تَأْتِي لِتَسْتَقِيَ، وَالَّتِي أَطْلُبُ مِنْهَا أَنْ تَسْقِيَنِي بَعْضَ الْمَاءِ، | ٤٣ 43 |
Behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin comes forth to draw water, and I say to her, Give me, I pray you, a little water of your pitcher to drink;
| فَتَقُولُ لِي: اشْرَبْ أَنْتَ، وَأَنَا أَسْتَقِي لِجِمَالِكَ أَيْضاً، تَكُونُ هِيَ الْفَتَاةَ الَّتِي عَيَّنَهَا الرَّبُّ لابْنِ سَيِّدِي. | ٤٤ 44 |
And she say to me, Both drink you, and I will also draw for your camels: let the same be the woman whom the LORD has appointed out for my master’s son.
| وَبَيْنَمَا كُنْتُ أُنَاجِي نَفْسِي بِهَذَا الْكَلامِ، إِذَا رِفْقَةُ قَادِمَةٌ، حَامِلَةً جَرَّةً عَلَى كَتِفِهَا، فَنَزَلَتْ إِلَى الْعَيْنِ وَاسْتَقَتْ، فَقُلْتُ لَهَا: أَرْجُوكِ أَنْ تَسْقِينِي | ٤٥ 45 |
And before I had done speaking in my heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down to the well, and drew water: and I said to her, Let me drink, I pray you.
| فَأَسْرَعَتْ وَوَضَعَتْ جَرَّتَهَا عَنْهَا قَائِلَةً: اشْرَبْ وَأَنَا أَسْقِي جِمَالَكَ أَيْضاً. | ٤٦ 46 |
And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drink, and I will give your camels drink also: so I drank, and she made the camels drink also.
| ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُهَا: ابْنَةُ مَنْ أَنْتِ؟ فَأَجَابَتْ: ابْنَةُ بَتُوئِيلَ بْنِ نَاحُورَ الَّذِي أَنْجَبَتْهُ مِلْكَةُ لَهُ. فَوَضَعْتُ الْخِزَامَةَ فِي أَنْفِهَا وَالسِّوَارَيْنِ عَلَى يَدَيْهَا. | ٤٧ 47 |
And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter are you? And she said, the daughter of Bethuel, Nahor’s son, whom Milcah bore to him: and I put the earring on her face, and the bracelets on her hands.
| ثُمَّ خَرَرْتُ وَسَجَدْتُ وَبَارَكْتُ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَ مَوْلايَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الَّذِي هَدَانِي فِي الطَّرِيقِ الْقَوِيمِ لِآخُذَ ابْنَةَ أَخِي سَيِّدِي لابْنِهِ. | ٤٨ 48 |
And I bowed down my head, and worshipped the LORD, and blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take my master’s brother’s daughter to his son.
| وَالآنَ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُبْدُونَ لُطْفاً وَأَمَانَةً لِسَيِّدِي فَأَجِيبُوا طَلَبِي، وَإلَّا فَأَخْبِرُونِي لأَتَّجِهَ يَمِيناً أَوْ شِمَالاً». | ٤٩ 49 |
And now if you will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me: and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left.
| فَأَجَابَ لابَانُ وَبَتُوئِيلُ: «قَدْ صَدَرَ هَذَا الأَمْرُ مِنَ الرَّبِّ، وَلا نَقْدِرُ أَنْ نَقُولَ لَكَ خَيْراً أَوْ شَرّاً. | ٥٠ 50 |
Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceeds from the LORD: we cannot speak to you bad or good.
| هَا هِيَ رِفْقَةُ أَمَامَكَ، خُذْهَا وَامْضِ. لِتَكُنْ لابْنِ سَيِّدِكَ كَمَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ». | ٥١ 51 |
Behold, Rebekah is before you, take her, and go, and let her be your master’s son’s wife, as the LORD has spoken.
| فَمَا إِنْ سَمِعَ عَبْدُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ كَلامَهُمْ حَتَّى خَرَّ عَلَى الأَرْضِ سَاجِداً لِلرَّبِّ، | ٥٢ 52 |
And it came to pass, that, when Abraham’s servant heard their words, he worshipped the LORD, bowing himself to the earth.
| ثُمَّ أَخْرَجَ جَوَاهِرَ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَمِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَثِيَاباً وَأَعْطَاهَا لِرِفْقَةَ، وَأَهْدَى أَيْضاً أَخَاهَا وَأُمَّهَا تُحَفاً | ٥٣ 53 |
And the servant brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rebekah: he gave also to her brother and to her mother precious things.
| وَأَكَلَ وَشَرِبَ هُوَ وَرِجَالُهُ، وَقَضَوْا لَيْلَتَهُمْ هُنَاكَ. وَعِنْدَمَا اسْتَيْقَظُوا فِي الصَّبَاحِ قَالَ: «أَطْلِقُونِي لأَعُودَ إِلَى سَيِّدِي». | ٥٤ 54 |
And they did eat and drink, he and the men that were with him, and tarried all night; and they rose up in the morning, and he said, Send me away to my master.
| فَأَجَابَ أَخُوهَا وَأُمُّهَا: «دَعِ الْفَتَاةَ تَمْكُثُ مَعْنَا عَشَرَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ نَحْوَهَا، ثُمَّ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ تَنْطَلِقُ». | ٥٥ 55 |
And her brother and her mother said, Let the damsel abide with us a few days, at the least ten; after that she shall go.
| فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لا تُعِيقُونِي فَالرَّبُّ وَفَّقَ مَسْعَايَ، أَطْلِقُونِي لأَمْضِيَ إِلَى سَيِّدِي». | ٥٦ 56 |
And he said to them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD has prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master.
| فَقَالا: «نَدْعُو الْفَتَاةَ وَنَسْأَلُهَا رَأْيَهَا». | ٥٧ 57 |
And they said, We will call the damsel, and inquire at her mouth.
| فَدَعَيَا رِفْقَةَ وَسَأَلاهَا: «أَتَذْهَبِينَ مَعَ هَذَا الرَّجُلِ؟» فَأَجَابَتْ: «أَذْهَبُ». | ٥٨ 58 |
And they called Rebekah, and said to her, Will you go with this man? And she said, I will go.
| فَصَرَفُوا رِفْقَةَ أُخْتَهُمْ وَمَعَهَا مُرَبِّيَتَهَا وَعَبْدَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَرِجَالَهُ، | ٥٩ 59 |
And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham’s servant, and his men.
| وَبَارَكُوا رِفْقَةَ قَائِلِينَ لَهَا: «أَنْتِ أُخْتُنَا، فَلْتَتَكَاثَرِي لِتَصِيرِي أُلُوفَ أُلُوفٍ وَلْتَرِثْ ذُرِّيَّتُكِ مُدُنَ مُبْغِضِيهَا». | ٦٠ 60 |
And they blessed Rebekah, and said to her, You are our sister, be you the mother of thousands of millions, and let your seed possess the gate of those which hate them.
| فَنَهَضَتْ رِفْقَةُ وَفَتَيَاتُهَا وَرَكِبْنَ الْجِمَالَ وَتَبِعْنَ الرَّجُلَ. فَانْطَلَقَ الْعَبْدُ بِرِفْقَةَ وَمَضَى فِي طَرِيقِهِ. | ٦١ 61 |
And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode on the camels, and followed the man: and the servant took Rebekah, and went his way.
| وَكَانَ إِسْحاقُ الْمُقِيمُ آنَئِذٍ فِي النَّقَبِ قَدْ عَادَ مِنْ طَرِيقِ بِئْرِ «لَحَيْ رُئِي». | ٦٢ 62 |
And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahairoi; for he dwelled in the south country.
| فَخَرَجَ عِنْدَ الْمَسَاءِ إِلَى الْحَقْلِ مُتَأَمِّلًا، وَإِذْ تَطَلَّعَ حَوْلَهُ شَاهَدَ جِمَالاً مُقْبِلَةً، | ٦٣ 63 |
And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the eventide: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels were coming.
| وَرَفَعَتْ رِفْقَةُ كَذَلِكَ عَيْنَيْهَا وَرَأَتْ إِسْحاقَ فَتَرَجَّلَتْ عَنِ الْجَمَلِ، | ٦٤ 64 |
And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel.
| وَسَأَلَتِ الْعَبْدَ: «مَنْ هَذَا الرَّجُلُ الْمَاشِي فِي الْحَقْلِ لِلِقَائِنَا؟» فَقَالَ الْعَبْدُ: «هُوَ سَيِّدِي». فَتَنَاوَلَتِ الْحِجَابَ وَتَغَطَّتْ. | ٦٥ 65 |
For she had said to the servant, What man is this that walks in the field to meet us? And the servant had said, It is my master: therefore she took a veil, and covered herself.
| ثُمَّ حَدَّثَ الْعَبْدُ إِسْحاقَ بِكُلِّ الأُمُورِ الَّتِي قَامَ بِها. | ٦٦ 66 |
And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done.
| فَأَدْخَلَ إِسْحاقُ رِفْقَةَ إِلَى خَيْمَةِ أُمِّهِ سَارَةَ، وَتَزَوَّجَهَا وَأَحَبَّهَا وَتَعَزَّى بِها بَعْدَ مَوْتِ أُمِّهِ. | ٦٧ 67 |
And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.
