تكوين 27
| وَلَمَّا شَاخَ إِسْحاقُ وَضَعُفَ بَصَرُهُ اسْتَدْعَى ابْنَهُ الأَكْبَرَ عِيسُو وَقَالَ لَهُ: «يَا بُنَيَّ، | ١ 1 |
Isaac was old and going blind. He called for Esau, his oldest son, and said, “My son.” “I'm here,” Esau replied.
| هَا أَنَا قَدْ شِخْتُ وَلَسْتُ أَعْرِفُ مَتَى يَحِينُ يَوْمُ وَفَاتِي. | ٢ 2 |
“I'm old now,” said Isaac, “I may die soon, who knows?
| فَالآنَ خُذْ عُدَّتَكَ: جُعْبَتَكَ وَقَوْسَكَ، وَامْضِ إِلَى الْبَرِّيَّةِ وَاقْتَنِصْ لِي صَيْداً. | ٣ 3 |
So please take your bow and arrows and go hunting in the countryside for some meat for me.
| وَجَهِّزْ لِي طَعَاماً شَهِيًّا كَمَا أُحِبُّ وَائْتِنِي بِهِ لِآكُلَ، لِتُبَارِكَكَ نَفْسِي قَبْلَ أَنْ أَمُوتَ». | ٤ 4 |
Make me that tasty food that I love and bring it to me to eat, so I can bless you before I die.”
| وَسَمِعَتْ رِفْقَةُ حَدِيثَ إِسْحاقَ لابْنِهِ عِيسُو. فَعِنْدَمَا انْطَلَقَ عِيسُو إِلَى الْبَرِّيَّةِ لِيَصْطَادَ صَيْداً وَيَأْتِيَ بِهِ. | ٥ 5 |
Rebekah heard what Isaac told his son Esau. So when Esau left to go hunting in the countryside for wild game,
| قَالَتْ رِفْقَةُ لابْنِهَا يَعْقُوبَ: «سَمِعْتُ أَبَاكَ يَقُولُ لِعِيسُو أَخِيكَ: | ٦ 6 |
Rebekah told her son Jacob, “Listen! I heard your father tell your brother,
| اقْتَنِصْ لِي صَيْداً، وَجَهِّزْ لِي أَطْعِمَةً شَهِيَّةً لِآكُلَ وَأُبَارِكَكَ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ قَبْلَ مَوْتِي. | ٧ 7 |
‘Get me some wild game and make me some tasty food so I can eat it and then bless you in the presence of the Lord before I die.’
| وَالآنَ يَا بُنَيَّ أَطِعْ قَوْلِي فِي مَا آمُرُكَ بِهِ، | ٨ 8 |
Now then, my son, listen to me and do exactly what I tell you.
| وَاذْهَبْ إِلَى قَطِيعِ الْمَاشِيَةِ، وَاخْتَرْ جَدْيَيْنِ لأُجَهِّزَ لأَبِيكَ أَطْعِمَةً شَهِيَّةً كَمَا يُحِبُّ، | ٩ 9 |
Go to the flock and bring me two nice young goats. I'll cook them and make the tasty food your father loves.
| تُقَدِّمُهَا لأَبِيكَ لِيَأْكُلَ، فَيُبَارِكَكَ قَبْلَ وَفَاتِهِ». | ١٠ 10 |
Then you take it to your father to eat, so he can bless you in the presence of the Lord before he dies.”
| فَقَالَ يَعْقُوبُ لِرِفْقَةَ أُمِّهِ: «أَخِي عِيسُو رَجُلٌ أَشْعَرُ، وَأَنَا رَجُلٌ أَمْلَسُ. | ١١ 11 |
“But listen,” Jacob replied to his mother Rebekah, “my brother Esau is a hairy man, and I'm a smooth man.
| وَقَدْ يَجُسُّنِي أَبِي فَيَتَبَيَّنُ خِدَاعِي، وَأَسْتَجْلِبُ عَلَى نَفْسِي لَعْنَةً لَا بَرَكَةً». | ١٢ 12 |
Maybe my father will notice when he touches me. Then it will look like I'm deceiving him and I'll bring a curse down on myself instead of a blessing.”
| فَقَالَتْ لَهُ أُمُّهُ: «لَعْنَتُكَ عَلَيَّ يَا بُنَيَّ، فَأَطِعْ قَوْلِي فَقَطْ، وَاذْهَبْ وَأَحْضِرِ الْجَدْيَيْنِ لِي». | ١٣ 13 |
“Let the curse fall on me, my son,” his mother replied. “Just do what I tell you. Go and get the young goats for me.”
| فَذَهَبَ وَاخْتَارَهُمَا وَأَحْضَرَهُمَا لأُمِّهِ، فَأَعَدَّتْ رِفْقَةُ الأَطْعِمَةَ الْمُطَيَّبَةَ كَمَا يُحِبُّ أَبُوهُ | ١٤ 14 |
So Jacob went and got them and took them to his mother, and she made some tasty food, the way his father loved.
| وَتَنَاوَلَتْ ثِيَابَ بِكْرِهَا عِيسُو الْفَاخِرَةَ الْمَوْجُودَةَ عِنْدَهَا فِي الْبَيْتِ وَأَلْبَسَتْ يَعْقُوبَ ابْنَهَا الأَصْغَرَ، | ١٥ 15 |
Then Rebekah went and got her older son Esau's best clothes that she had at home and put them on Jacob her younger son.
| وَكَذَلِكَ غَطَّتْ يَدَيْهِ وَمَلاسَةَ عُنُقِهِ بِجِلْدِ الْجَدْيَيْنِ. | ١٦ 16 |
She put the goatskins on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck.
| وَأَعْطَتْهُ مَا أَعَدَّتْهُ مِنَ الأَطْعِمَةِ الشَّهِيَّةِ وَالْخُبْزِ. | ١٧ 17 |
Then she handed her son Jacob the tasty food and the bread she'd made.
| فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَى أَبِيهِ وَقَالَ: «يَا أَبِي». فَأَجَابَهُ: «نَعَمْ يَا ابْنِي، مَنْ أَنْتَ؟» | ١٨ 18 |
He went in to see his father, and called out, “My father, I'm here.” “Which son are you?” Isaac asked.
| فَقَالَ يَعْقُوبُ: «أَنَا عِيسُو بِكْرُكَ. وَقَدْ فَعَلْتُ كَمَا طَلَبْتَ، وَالآنَ قُمْ وَاجْلِسْ وَكُلْ مِنْ صَيْدِي حَتَّى تُبَارِكَنِي». | ١٩ 19 |
“It's me Esau, your firstborn son,” Jacob told his father. “I did what you told me. So please sit up and eat some of my wild game meat so you can bless me.”
| فَقَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: «كَيْفَ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ تَجِدَ صَيْداً بِمِثْلِ هَذِهِ السُّرْعَةِ يَا وَلَدِي؟» فَأَجَابَهُ: «لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ قَدْ يَسَّرَ لِي ذَلِكَ». | ٢٠ 20 |
“How did you find an animal so fast, my son?” Isaac asked. “Because the Lord your God sent it my way,” Jacob replied.
| وَقَالَ إِسْحاقُ: «اقْتَرِبْ مِنِّي لأَجُسَّكَ يَا ابْنِي لأَرَى إِنْ كُنْتَ حَقّاً ابْنِي عِيسُو أَمْ لا». | ٢١ 21 |
“Come over here so I can touch you, my son,” Isaac told Jacob, “so I can tell if you're really my son Esau or not.”
| فَدَنَا يَعْقُوبُ مِنْ أَبِيهِ إِسْحاقَ فَجَسَّهُ وَقَالَ: «الصَّوْتُ صَوْتُ يَعْقُوبَ، أَمَّا الْيَدَانِ فَهُمَا يَدَا عِيسُو». | ٢٢ 22 |
Jacob went over to his father Isaac, who touched him and said, “It's Jacob's voice but Esau's hands.”
| وَلَمْ يَعْرِفْهُ لأَنَّ يَدَيْهِ كَانَتَا مُشْعِرَتَيْنِ كَيَدَيْ أَخِيهِ عِيسُو، فَبَارَكَهُ، | ٢٣ 23 |
Isaac didn't realize it was really Jacob because his hands were hairy like his brother Esau's, so Isaac got ready to bless him.
| وَسَأَلَ: «هَلْ أَنْتَ ابْنِي عِيسُو؟» فَأَجَابَ: «أَنَا هُوَ». | ٢٤ 24 |
“It's really you, my son Esau?” he asked again. “Yes, it's me,” Jacob replied.
| ثُمَّ قَالَ: «قَدِّمْ لِي مِنْ صَيْدِكَ حَتَّى آكُلَ وَأُبَارِكَكَ». فَأَحْضَرَ يَعْقُوبُ إِلَيْهِ الطَّعَامَ فَأَكَلَ ثُمَّ قَدَّمَ لَهُ خَمْراً فَشَرِبَ، | ٢٥ 25 |
Then he said, “My son, bring me some of your wild game to eat, so that I may give you my blessing.” Jacob brought some for him to eat, as well as some wine for him to drink.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ إِسْحاقُ أَبُوهُ: «تَعَالَ وَقَبِّلْنِي يَا وَلَدِي». | ٢٦ 26 |
Afterwards he said to Isaac, “Come here and kiss me, my son.”
| فَاقْتَرَبَ مِنْهُ وَقَبَّلَهُ، فَتَنَسَّمَ رَائِحَةَ ثِيَابِهِ وَبَارَكَهُ قَائِلاً: «هَا إِنَّ رَائِحَةَ ابْنِي كَرَائِحَةِ حَقْلٍ بَارَكَهُ الرَّبُّ، | ٢٧ 27 |
So Jacob went over and kissed him, and Isaac could smell the clothes Jacob was wearing. So he went ahead with the blessing, saying to himself, “See—the smell of my son is like the smell of a field that the Lord has blessed.”
| فَلْيُنْعِمْ عَلَيْكَ الرَّبُّ مِنْ نَدَى السَّمَاءِ وَمِنْ خَيْرَاتِ الأَرْضِ، فَيُكَثِّرُ لَكَ الْحِنْطَةَ وَالْخَمْرَ. | ٢٨ 28 |
“May God use the dew of heaven and fertile land to give you rich harvests of grain and new wine!
| لِتَخْدُمْكَ الشُّعُوبُ، وَتَسْجُدْ لَكَ الْقَبَائِلُ، لِتَكُنْ سَيِّداً عَلَى إِخْوَتِكَ. وَبَنُو أُمِّكِ لَكَ يَنْحَنُونَ. وَلْيَكُنْ لاعِنُوكَ مَلْعُونِينَ، وَمُبَارِكُوكَ مُبَارَكِينَ». | ٢٩ 29 |
May the people of different nations serve you and bow down to you. May you rule over your relatives, and may they bow down to you. May everyone who curses you be cursed, and may everyone who bless you be blessed.”
| وَلَمَّا فَرَغَ إِسْحاقُ مِنْ مُبَارَكَةِ يَعْقُوبَ، وَخَرَجَ يَعْقُوبُ مِنْ عِنْدِ أَبِيهِ، رَجَعَ عِيسُو مِنْ صَيْدِهِ، | ٣٠ 30 |
After Isaac finished blessing Jacob—in fact Jacob had just left his father—Esau returned from his hunting trip.
| فَجَهَّزَ هُوَ أَيْضاً أَطْعِمَةً طَيِّبَةً وَأَحْضَرَهَا إِلَى أَبِيهِ وَقَالَ: «لِيَقُمْ أَبِي وَيَأْكُلْ مِنْ صَيْدِ ابْنِهِ فَتُبَارِكَنِي نَفْسُكَ». | ٣١ 31 |
He had also made some tasty food, and took it to his father. Esau said to Isaac, “Sit up, my father, and eat some of my wild game so you can bless me.”
| فَقَالَ إِسْحاقُ: «مَنْ أَنْتَ؟» فَأَجَابَهُ: «أَنَا ابْنُكَ بِكْرُكَ عِيسُو». | ٣٢ 32 |
“Who are you?” Isaac asked him. “I'm your son, your firstborn son, Esau,” he replied.
| فَارْتَعَدَ إِسْحاقُ بِعُنْفٍ وَقَالَ: «مَنْ هُوَ إِذاً الَّذِي اصْطَادَ صَيْداً وَأَحْضَرَهُ إِلَيَّ فَأَكَلْتُ مِنَ الْكُلِّ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَجِيءَ، وَبَارَكْتُهُ؟ وَحَقّاً يَكُونُ مُبَارَكاً». | ٣٣ 33 |
Isaac started to shake all over and asked, “So who was it who went hunting game and then brought it to me? I ate it all before you came back and I blessed him. His blessing will remain.”
| فَمَا إِنْ سَمِعَ عِيسُو كَلامَ أَبِيهِ حَتَّى أَطْلَقَ صَرْخَةً هَائِلَةً وَمُرَّةً جِدّاً وَقَالَ: «بَارِكْنِي أَنَا أَيْضاً يَا أَبِي». | ٣٤ 34 |
When Esau heard his father's words, he cried out in great anger and bitterness, and pleaded with his father, “Please bless me too, my father!”
| فَأَجَابَ: «لَقَدْ مَكَرَ بِي أَخُوكَ وَسَلَبَ بَرَكَتَكَ». | ٣٥ 35 |
But Isaac replied, “You brother came and deceived me—he stole your blessing!”
| فَقَالَ: «أَلَمْ يُدْعَ اسْمُهُ يَعْقُوبَ؟ لَقَدْ تَعَقَّبَنِي مَرَّتَيْنِ: أَخَذَ بَكُورِيَّتِي، وَهَا هُوَ يَسْلُبُنِي الآنَ بَرَكَتِي». ثُمَّ قَالَ: «أَمَا احْتَفَظْتَ لِي بِبَرَكَةٍ؟» | ٣٦ 36 |
“Isn't he well named—Jacob the deceiver!” said Esau. “He's deceived me twice. First he took my birthright, and now he's stolen my blessing! Haven't you kept a blessing for me?”
| فَأَجَابَ إِسْحاقُ: «لَقَدْ جَعَلْتُهُ سَيِّداً لَكَ، وَصَيَّرْتُ جَمِيعَ إِخْوَتِهِ لَهْ خُدَّاماً، وَبِالْحِنْطَةِ وَالْخَمْرِ أَمْدَدْتُهُ. فَمَاذَا أَفْعَلُ لَكَ الآنَ يَا وَلَدِي؟». | ٣٧ 37 |
Isaac replied to Esau. “I have made him ruler over you, and have said that all his relatives will be his servants. I have declared that he will be well supplied with grain and new wine. So what is left that I can do for you, my son?”
| فَقَالَ عِيسُو: «أَلَكَ بَرَكَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ فَقَطْ يَا أَبِي؟ بَارِكْنِي أَنَا أَيْضاً يَا أَبِي». وَأَجْهَشَ عِيسُو بِالْبُكَاءِ بِصَوْتٍ عَالٍ. | ٣٨ 38 |
“Do you only have one blessing, my father?” Esau asked. “Please bless me too!” Then Esau began to cry very loudly.
| فَأَجَابَهُ أَبُوهُ: «هَا مَسْكَنُكَ يَكُونُ فِي أَرْضٍ جَدْبَاءَ لَا يَهْطِلُ عَلَيْهَا نَدَى السَّمَاءِ. | ٣٩ 39 |
Then his father Isaac declared, “Listen! You will live far away from fertile land, far from the dew of heaven that falls from above.
| بِسَيْفِكَ تَعِيشُ وَلأَخِيكَ تَكُونُ عَبْداً، وَلَكِنْ حِينَ تَجْمَحُ تُحَطِّمُ نِيرَهُ عَنْ عُنْقِكَ». | ٤٠ 40 |
You will make a living by using your sword, and you will be your brother's servant. But when you rebel, you will throw off his yoke from your neck.”
| وَحَقَدَ عِيسُو عَلَى يَعْقُوبَ مِنْ أَجْلِ مَا نَالَهُ مِنْ بَرَكَةِ أَبِيهِ. فَنَاجَى نَفْسَهُ: «قَرِيباً يَمُوتُ أَبِي، وَبَعْدَئِذٍ أَقْتُلُ أَخِي يَعْقُوبَ». | ٤١ 41 |
From then on Esau hated Jacob because of his father's blessing. Esau said to himself, “Soon the time will come when I'll mourn my father's death. Then I'll kill my brother Jacob!”
| فَبَلَغَ رِفْقَةَ وَعِيدُ عِيسُو ابْنِهَا الأَكْبَرِ، فَأَرْسَلَتْ وَاسْتَدْعَتْ يَعْقُوبَ ابْنَهَا الأَصْغَرَ وَقَالَتْ لَهُ: «عِيسُو يُخَطِّطُ لِقَتْلِكَ. | ٤٢ 42 |
However, Rebekah found out what Esau was saying, so she sent for Jacob. “Look,” she told him, “your brother Esau is making himself feel better by making plans to kill you.
| وَالآنَ يَا ابْنِي أَصْغِ لِقَوْلِي، وَقُمِ اهْرُبْ إِلَى أَخِي لابَانَ إِلَى حَارَانَ، | ٤٣ 43 |
So, my son, listen carefully to what I tell you. Leave immediately and go to my brother Laban in Haram.
| وَامْكُثْ عِنْدَهُ أَيَّاماً قَلائِلَ رَيْثَمَا يَهْدَأُ سُخْطُ أَخِيكَ. | ٤٤ 44 |
Stay with him for a while until your brother's anger cools down.
| وَمَتَى سَكَنَ غَضَبُهُ وَنَسِيَ مَا صَنَعْتَ بِهِ، عِنْدَئِذٍ أَبْعَثُ إِلَيْكَ لِتَعُودَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ. فَلِمَاذَا أُحْرَمُ مِنْكُمَا كِلَيْكُمَا فِي يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ؟». | ٤٥ 45 |
Once he's cooled down and forgets what you did to him, I'll send for you to come back. Why should I lose both of you in a single day?”
| ثُمَّ قَالَتْ رِفْقَةُ لإِسْحاقَ: «قَدْ كَرِهْتُ حَيَاتِي مِنْ جَرَّاءِ الْبَنَاتِ الْحِثِّيَّاتِ، فَإِنْ تَزَوَّجَ يَعْقُوبُ مِنِ الْحِثِّيَّاتِ بَنَاتِ هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ الْمُمَاثِلاتِ لِزَوْجَتَيْ عِيسُو، فَإِنَّ مَوْتِي خَيْرٌ مِنْ حَيَاتِي». | ٤٦ 46 |
Then Rebekah went and told Isaac, “I'm so sick of these Hittite women—they're ruining my life! If Jacob also marries a Hittite woman like them, one of the local people, I'd rather die!”
