تكوين 24
| وَشَاخَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَتَقَدَّمَ بِهِ الْعُمْرُ. وَبَارَكَ الرَّبُّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ. | ١ 1 |
Abraham was old, and well advanced in age. Yahweh had blessed Abraham in all things.
| وَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ لِرَئِيسِ عَبِيدِهِ، الْمُتَوَلِّي جَمِيعَ شُؤُونِ بَيْتِهِ: «ضَعْ يَدَكَ تَحْتَ فَخْذِي، | ٢ 2 |
Abraham said to his servant, the elder of his house, who ruled over all that he had, “Please put 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 |
I will make you swear by Yahweh, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you shall not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I live.
| بَلْ تَمْضِي إِلَى بَلَدِي وَإِلَى عَشِيرَتِي، وَتَأْخُذُ زَوْجَةً لابْنِي إِسْحاقَ». | ٤ 4 |
But you shall go to my country, and to my relatives, and take a wife for 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 |
The servant said to him, “What if the woman isn’t willing to follow me to this land? Must I bring your son again to the land you came from?”
| فَأَجَابَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ: «إِيَّاكَ أَنْ تَرْجِعَ بِابْنِي إِلَى هُنَاكَ، | ٦ 6 |
Abraham said to him, “Beware that you don’t bring my son there 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 |
Yahweh, the God of heaven—who took me from my father’s house, and from the land of my birth, who spoke to me, and who swore to me, saying, ‘I will give this land to your offspring—he will send his angel before you, and you shall take a wife for 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 |
If the woman isn’t willing to follow you, then you shall be clear from this oath to me. Only you shall not bring my son there again.”
| فَوَضَعَ الْعَبْدُ يَدَهُ تَحْتَ فَخْذِ سَيِّدِهِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَحَلَفَ لَهُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ. | ٩ 9 |
The servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning this matter.
| وَاخْتَارَ الْعَبْدُ عَشَرَةَ جِمَالٍ وَحَمَّلَهَا مِنْ جَمِيعِ خَيْرَاتِ مَوْلاهُ الَّتِي فِي يَدِهِ، وَقَامَ وَانْطَلَقَ إِلَى أَرَامِ النَّهْرَيْنِ إِلَى مَدِينَةِ نَاحُورَ. | ١٠ 10 |
The servant took ten of his master’s camels, and departed, having a variety of good things of his master’s with him. 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 |
He made the camels kneel down outside the city by the well of water at the time of evening, 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 |
He said, “Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, please give me success today, and show kindness to my master Abraham.
| هَا أَنَا وَاقِفٌ عِنْدَ بِئْرِ الْمَاءِ حَيْثُ تُقْبِلُ بَنَاتُ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ | ١٣ 13 |
Behold, I am standing by the spring of water. The daughters of the men of the city are coming 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 |
Let it happen, that the young lady to whom I will say, ‘Please let down your pitcher, that I may drink,’ then she says, ‘Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink,’—let her be the one you have appointed for your servant Isaac. By this I will know that you have shown 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 |
Before he had finished speaking, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel the 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 |
The young lady was very beautiful to look at, a virgin. No man had known her. She went down to the spring, filled her pitcher, and came up.
| فَرَكَضَ الْعَبْدُ لِلِقَائِهَا وَقَالَ: «أَرْجُوكِ، اسْقِينِي قَلِيلاً مِنْ مَاءِ جَرَّتِكِ». | ١٧ 17 |
The servant ran to meet her, and said, “Please give me a drink, a little water from your pitcher.”
| فَأَجَابَتِ الْفَتَاةُ: «اشْرَبْ يَا سَيِّدِي». وَأَسْرَعَتْ وَأَنْزَلَتْ جَرَّتَهَا عَلَى يَدِهَا وَسَقَتْهُ. | ١٨ 18 |
She said, “Drink, my lord.” She hurried, and let down her pitcher on her hand, and gave him a drink.
| وَبَعْدَ أَنْ شَرِبَ قَالَتْ: «أَسْتَقِي لِجِمَالِكَ أَيْضاً حَتَّى تَرْتَوِيَ». | ١٩ 19 |
When she had finished giving him a drink, she said, “I will also draw for your camels, until they have finished drinking.”
| وَمَضَتْ مُسْرِعَةً وَأَفْرَغَتْ جَرَّتَهَا فِي حَوْضِ الْمَاءِ، ثُمَّ رَكَضَتْ نَحْوَ الْبِئْرِ فَاسْتَقَتْ لِكُلِّ جِمَالِهِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
She hurried, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again to the well to draw, and drew for all his camels.
| وَظَلَّ الرَّجُلُ يَتَأَمَّلُهَا صَامِتاً لِيَعْلَمَ إِنْ كَانَ الرَّبُّ قَدْ وَفَّقَ مَسْعَاهُ أَمْ لا. | ٢١ 21 |
The man looked steadfastly at her, remaining silent, to know whether Yahweh 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 |
As the camels had done drinking, the man took a golden ring 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? Please tell me. Is there room in your father’s house for us to stay?”
| فَأَجَابَتْهُ: «أَنَا ابْنَةُ بَتُوئِيلَ ابْنِ مِلْكَةَ الَّذِي أَنْجَبَتْهُ لِنَاحُورَ، | ٢٤ 24 |
She said to him, “I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor.”
| عِنْدَنَا كَثِيرٌ مِنَ التِّبْنِ وَالْعَلَفِ، وَمَكَانٌ لِتَبِيتُوا فِيهِ». | ٢٥ 25 |
She said moreover to him, “We have both straw and feed enough, and room to lodge in.”
| فَأَطْرَقَ الرَّجُلُ بِرَأْسِهِ وَسَجَدَ لِلرَّبِّ مُصَلِّياً: | ٢٦ 26 |
The man bowed his head, and worshiped Yahweh.
| «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 |
He said, “Blessed be Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken his loving kindness and his truth toward my master. As for me, Yahweh has led me on the way to the house of my master’s relatives.”
| فَهُرِعَتِ الْفَتَاةُ وَأَخْبَرَتْ بَيْتَ أُمِّهَا بِهَذِهِ الأُمُورِ. | ٢٨ 28 |
The young lady ran, and told her mother’s house about these words.
| وَكَانَ لِرِفْقَةَ أَخٌ يُدْعَى لابَانَ، فَأَسْرَعَ نَحْوَ الرَّجُلِ عِنْدَ بِئْرِ الْمَاءِ، | ٢٩ 29 |
Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban. Laban ran out to the man, to the spring.
| إِذْ كَانَ قَدْ رَأَى الْخِزَامَةَ وَالسِّوَارَيْنِ عَلَى يَدَيْ أُخْتِهِ، وَسَمِعَ حَدِيثَهَا عَنِ الرَّجُلِ؛ فَوَجَدَهُ وَاقِفاً بِالْقُرْبِ مِنَ الْجِمَالِ عِنْدَ الْمَاءِ، | ٣٠ 30 |
When he saw the ring, and the bracelets on his sister’s hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, “This is what the man said to me,” he came to the man. Behold, he was standing by the camels at the spring.
| فَقَالَ: «ادْخُلْ أَيُّهَا الْمُبَارَكُ مِنَ الرَّبِّ، لِمَاذَا تَقِفُ خَارِجاً؟ لَقَدْ أَعْدَدْتُ الْبَيْتَ وَكَذَلِكَ مَكَاناً لِلْجِمَالِ». | ٣١ 31 |
He said, “Come in, you blessed of Yahweh. Why do you stand outside? 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 |
The man came into the house, and he unloaded the camels. He gave straw and feed for the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men who were with him.
| ثُمَّ وَضَعَ الطَّعَامَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ لِيَأْكُلَ. لَكِنَّهُ قَالَ: «لَنْ آكُلَ حَتَّى أُخْبِرَكُمْ بِمَا يَجِبُ أَنْ أَقُولَهُ». فَقَالَ لَهُ: «تَكَلَّمْ». | ٣٣ 33 |
Food was set before him to eat, but he said, “I will not eat until I have told my message.” Laban said, “Speak on.”
| فَقَالَ: «أَنَا عَبْدُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، | ٣٤ 34 |
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 |
Yahweh has blessed my master greatly. He has become great. Yahweh has given him flocks and herds, silver and gold, male servants and female servants, and camels and donkeys.
| وَأَنْجَبَتْ سَارَةُ امْرَأَةُ سَيِّدِي بَعْدَ أَنْ شَاخَتِ ابْناً لِسَيِّدِي أَوْرَثَهُ كُلَّ مَالَهُ | ٣٦ 36 |
Sarah, my master’s wife, bore a son to my master when she was old. He has given all that he has to him.
| وَقَدِ اسْتَحْلَفَنِي سَيِّدِي أَلّا آخُذَ زَوْجَةً لابْنِهِ مِنْ بَنَاتِ الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ يَسْكُنُ أَرْضَهُمْ، | ٣٧ 37 |
My master made me swear, saying, ‘You shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I live,
| بَلْ أَذْهَبُ إِلَى بَيْتِ أَبِيهِ وَعَشِيرَتِهِ وَآخُذُ لابْنِهِ مِنْهُمْ زَوْجَةً. | ٣٨ 38 |
but you shall go to my father’s house, and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son.’
| فَقُلْتُ لِسَيِّدِي: قَدْ تَأْبَى الْفَتَاةُ أَنْ تَتْبَعَنِي إِلَى هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ. | ٣٩ 39 |
I asked my master, ‘What if 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 |
He said to me, ‘Yahweh, before whom I walk, will send his angel with you, and prosper your way. You shall take a wife for my son from my relatives, and of my father’s house.
| وَإذَا قَدِمْتَ عَلَى قَوْمِي وَرَفَضُوا أَنْ يُعْطُوكَ إِيَّاهَا تَكُونُ آنَئِذٍ فِي حِلٍّ مِنْ حَلْفِي. | ٤١ 41 |
Then you will be clear from my oath, when you come to my relatives. If they don’t give her to you, 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 |
I came today to the spring, and said, ‘Yahweh, the 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 am standing by this spring of water. Let it happen, that the maiden who comes out to draw, to whom I will say, “Please give me a little water from your pitcher to drink,”
| فَتَقُولُ لِي: اشْرَبْ أَنْتَ، وَأَنَا أَسْتَقِي لِجِمَالِكَ أَيْضاً، تَكُونُ هِيَ الْفَتَاةَ الَّتِي عَيَّنَهَا الرَّبُّ لابْنِ سَيِّدِي. | ٤٤ 44 |
then she tells me, “Drink, and I will also draw for your camels,”—let her be the woman whom Yahweh has appointed 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 |
Before I had finished speaking in my heart, behold, Rebekah came out with her pitcher on her shoulder. She went down to the spring, and drew. I said to her, ‘Please let me drink.’
| فَأَسْرَعَتْ وَوَضَعَتْ جَرَّتَهَا عَنْهَا قَائِلَةً: اشْرَبْ وَأَنَا أَسْقِي جِمَالَكَ أَيْضاً. | ٤٦ 46 |
She hurried and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, ‘Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink.’ So I drank, and she also gave the camels a drink.
| ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُهَا: ابْنَةُ مَنْ أَنْتِ؟ فَأَجَابَتْ: ابْنَةُ بَتُوئِيلَ بْنِ نَاحُورَ الَّذِي أَنْجَبَتْهُ مِلْكَةُ لَهُ. فَوَضَعْتُ الْخِزَامَةَ فِي أَنْفِهَا وَالسِّوَارَيْنِ عَلَى يَدَيْهَا. | ٤٧ 47 |
I asked her, and said, ‘Whose daughter are you?’ She said, ‘The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor’s son, whom Milcah bore to him.’ I put the ring on her nose, 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 |
I bowed my head, and worshiped Yahweh, and blessed Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, who had led me in the right way to take my master’s brother’s daughter for his son.
| وَالآنَ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُبْدُونَ لُطْفاً وَأَمَانَةً لِسَيِّدِي فَأَجِيبُوا طَلَبِي، وَإلَّا فَأَخْبِرُونِي لأَتَّجِهَ يَمِيناً أَوْ شِمَالاً». | ٤٩ 49 |
Now if you will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me. 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, “The thing proceeds from Yahweh. We can’t 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 Yahweh has spoken.”
| فَمَا إِنْ سَمِعَ عَبْدُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ كَلامَهُمْ حَتَّى خَرَّ عَلَى الأَرْضِ سَاجِداً لِلرَّبِّ، | ٥٢ 52 |
When Abraham’s servant heard their words, he bowed himself down to the earth to Yahweh.
| ثُمَّ أَخْرَجَ جَوَاهِرَ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَمِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَثِيَاباً وَأَعْطَاهَا لِرِفْقَةَ، وَأَهْدَى أَيْضاً أَخَاهَا وَأُمَّهَا تُحَفاً | ٥٣ 53 |
The servant brought out jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and clothing, and gave them to Rebekah. He also gave precious things to her brother and her mother.
| وَأَكَلَ وَشَرِبَ هُوَ وَرِجَالُهُ، وَقَضَوْا لَيْلَتَهُمْ هُنَاكَ. وَعِنْدَمَا اسْتَيْقَظُوا فِي الصَّبَاحِ قَالَ: «أَطْلِقُونِي لأَعُودَ إِلَى سَيِّدِي». | ٥٤ 54 |
They ate and drank, he and the men who were with him, and stayed all night. 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 |
Her brother and her mother said, “Let the young lady stay with us a few days, at least ten. After that she will go.”
| فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لا تُعِيقُونِي فَالرَّبُّ وَفَّقَ مَسْعَايَ، أَطْلِقُونِي لأَمْضِيَ إِلَى سَيِّدِي». | ٥٦ 56 |
He said to them, “Don’t hinder me, since Yahweh has prospered my way. Send me away that I may go to my master.”
| فَقَالا: «نَدْعُو الْفَتَاةَ وَنَسْأَلُهَا رَأْيَهَا». | ٥٧ 57 |
They said, “We will call the young lady, and ask her.”
| فَدَعَيَا رِفْقَةَ وَسَأَلاهَا: «أَتَذْهَبِينَ مَعَ هَذَا الرَّجُلِ؟» فَأَجَابَتْ: «أَذْهَبُ». | ٥٨ 58 |
They called Rebekah, and said to her, “Will you go with this man?” She said, “I will go.”
| فَصَرَفُوا رِفْقَةَ أُخْتَهُمْ وَمَعَهَا مُرَبِّيَتَهَا وَعَبْدَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَرِجَالَهُ، | ٥٩ 59 |
They sent away Rebekah, their sister, with her nurse, Abraham’s servant, and his men.
| وَبَارَكُوا رِفْقَةَ قَائِلِينَ لَهَا: «أَنْتِ أُخْتُنَا، فَلْتَتَكَاثَرِي لِتَصِيرِي أُلُوفَ أُلُوفٍ وَلْتَرِثْ ذُرِّيَّتُكِ مُدُنَ مُبْغِضِيهَا». | ٦٠ 60 |
They blessed Rebekah, and said to her, “Our sister, may you be the mother of thousands of ten thousands, and let your offspring possess the gate of those who hate them.”
| فَنَهَضَتْ رِفْقَةُ وَفَتَيَاتُهَا وَرَكِبْنَ الْجِمَالَ وَتَبِعْنَ الرَّجُلَ. فَانْطَلَقَ الْعَبْدُ بِرِفْقَةَ وَمَضَى فِي طَرِيقِهِ. | ٦١ 61 |
Rebekah arose with her ladies. They rode on the camels, and followed the man. The servant took Rebekah, and went his way.
| وَكَانَ إِسْحاقُ الْمُقِيمُ آنَئِذٍ فِي النَّقَبِ قَدْ عَادَ مِنْ طَرِيقِ بِئْرِ «لَحَيْ رُئِي». | ٦٢ 62 |
Isaac came from the way of Beer Lahai Roi, for he lived in the land of the South.
| فَخَرَجَ عِنْدَ الْمَسَاءِ إِلَى الْحَقْلِ مُتَأَمِّلًا، وَإِذْ تَطَلَّعَ حَوْلَهُ شَاهَدَ جِمَالاً مُقْبِلَةً، | ٦٣ 63 |
Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the evening. He lifted up his eyes and looked. Behold, there were camels coming.
| وَرَفَعَتْ رِفْقَةُ كَذَلِكَ عَيْنَيْهَا وَرَأَتْ إِسْحاقَ فَتَرَجَّلَتْ عَنِ الْجَمَلِ، | ٦٤ 64 |
Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she got off the camel.
| وَسَأَلَتِ الْعَبْدَ: «مَنْ هَذَا الرَّجُلُ الْمَاشِي فِي الْحَقْلِ لِلِقَائِنَا؟» فَقَالَ الْعَبْدُ: «هُوَ سَيِّدِي». فَتَنَاوَلَتِ الْحِجَابَ وَتَغَطَّتْ. | ٦٥ 65 |
She said to the servant, “Who is the man who is walking in the field to meet us?” The servant said, “It is my master.” She took her veil, and covered herself.
| ثُمَّ حَدَّثَ الْعَبْدُ إِسْحاقَ بِكُلِّ الأُمُورِ الَّتِي قَامَ بِها. | ٦٦ 66 |
The servant told Isaac all the things that he had done.
| فَأَدْخَلَ إِسْحاقُ رِفْقَةَ إِلَى خَيْمَةِ أُمِّهِ سَارَةَ، وَتَزَوَّجَهَا وَأَحَبَّهَا وَتَعَزَّى بِها بَعْدَ مَوْتِ أُمِّهِ. | ٦٧ 67 |
Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife. He loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.
