تكوين 28
| فَاسْتَدْعَى إِسْحاقُ يَعْقُوبَ وَبَارَكَهُ وَأَوْصَاهُ قَائِلاً: «لا تَتَزَوَّجْ مِنْ بَنَاتِ كَنْعَانَ. | ١ 1 |
Isaac called for Jacob and blessed him. “Don't marry a Canaanite woman,” he ordered him.
| قُمِ انْطَلِقْ إِلَى سَهْلِ أَرَامَ، إِلَى بَيْتِ بَتُوئِيلَ أَبِي أُمِّكَ، وَتَزَوَّجْ إِحْدَى بَنَاتِ خَالِكَ لابَانَ. | ٢ 2 |
“Leave right away and go to Paddan-aram, to the home of Bethuel, your mother's father. Find yourself a wife there—a daughter of Laban, your mother's brother.
| وَلْيُبَارِكْكَ اللهُ الْقَدِيرُ وَيُنَمِّكَ وَيُكَثِّرْكَ لِتَكُونَ أُمَّةً تَتَفَرَّعُ مِنْهَا شُعُوبٌ كَثِيرَةٌ، | ٣ 3 |
God Almighty bless you and may your descendants be so numerous that you become the ancestor of many nations.
| وَلْيُعْطِكَ أَنْتَ وَذُرِّيَّتَكَ مَعَكَ بَرَكَةَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لِتَرِثَ أَرْضَ غُرْبَتِكَ الَّتِي تُقِيمُ فِيهَا الآنَ؛ هَذِهِ الأَرْضَ الَّتِي وَهَبَهَا اللهُ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ». | ٤ 4 |
May he grant you and your descendants the same blessing he gave to Abraham, so that you may take over the land where you now live as a foreigner, the land God gave to Abraham.”
| ثُمَّ صَرَفَ إِسْحاقُ يَعْقُوبَ فَمَضَى إِلَى سَهْلِ أَرَامَ، حَيْثُ يُقِيمُ لابَانُ بْنُ بَتُوئِيلَ الأَرَامِيُّ أَخُو رِفْقَةَ أُمِّ يَعْقُوبَ وَعِيسُو. | ٥ 5 |
So Isaac sent Jacob on his way. He traveled to Paddan-aram, to Laban, son of Bethuel the Aramean. Laban was the brother of Rebekah, the mother of Jacob and Esau.
| وَلَمَّا رَأَى عِيسُو أَنَّ إِسْحاقَ قَدْ بَارَكَ يَعْقُوبَ وَصَرَفَهُ إِلَى سَهْلِ أَرَامَ لِيَخْتَارَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ زَوْجَةً، وَأَوْصَاهُ قَائِلاً: «لا تَتَزَوَّجِ امْرَأَةً كَنْعَانِيَّةً» | ٦ 6 |
Esau found out that Isaac had blessed Jacob and had sent him to Paddan-aram to find a wife there, and that when he blessed him he ordered him, “Don't marry a Canaanite woman.”
| وَأَنَّ يَعْقُوبَ أَطَاعَ وَالِدَيْهِ وَارْتَحَلَ إِلَى سَهْلِ أَرَامَ | ٧ 7 |
He also discovered that Jacob had done what his father and mother told him and had left for Paddan-aram.
| وَإِذْ رَأَى عِيسُو أَنَّ بَنَاتِ كَنْعَانَ شِرِّيرَاتٌ لَمْ يَحْظَيْنَ بِرِضَى أَبِيهِ | ٨ 8 |
This made Esau realize how much his father disliked Canaanite women.
| مَضَى إِلَى إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَمِّهِ وَأَخَذَ مَحْلَةَ ابْنَةَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أُخْتَ نَبَايُوتَ، زَوْجَةً لَهُ عَلَى نِسَائِهِ. | ٩ 9 |
So he went to Ishmael's family and married an additional wife—Mahalath, the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham's son, the sister of Nebaioth.
| أَمَّا يَعْقُوبُ فَتَوَجَّهَ مِنْ بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ نَحْوَ حَارَانَ، | ١٠ 10 |
In the meantime Jacob had set off from Beersheba on his way to Haran.
| فَصَادَفَ مَوْضِعاً قَضَى فِيهِ لَيْلَتَهُ لأَنَّ الشَّمْسَ كَانَتْ قَدْ غَابَتْ، فَأَخَذَ بَعْضَ حِجَارَةِ الْمَوْضِعِ وَتَوَسَّدَهَا وَبَاتَ هُنَاكَ. | ١١ 11 |
He arrived after sunset at a particular place and stopped there for the night. He picked up a stone, put it under his head, lay down and went to sleep.
| وَرَأَى حُلْماً شَاهَدَ فِيهِ سُلَّماً قَائِمَةً عَلَى الأَرْضِ وَرَأْسُهَا يَمَسُّ السَّمَاءَ، وَمَلائِكَةُ اللهِ تَصْعَدُ وَتَنْزِلُ عَلَيْهَا، | ١٢ 12 |
He dreamed he saw a stairway that started on earth, and the top reached all the way into heaven. He saw God's angels going up and down on it.
| وَالرَّبُّ نَفْسُهُ وَاقِفٌ فَوْقَهَا يَقُولُ: «أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ أَبِيكَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِلَهُ إِسْحاقَ. إِنَّ الأَرْضَ الَّتِي تَرْقُدُ عَلَيْهَا الآنَ أُعْطِيهَا لَكَ وَلِذُرِّيَّتِكَ، | ١٣ 13 |
Then he saw the Lord standing over him, who said, “I am the Lord, the God of your father Abraham, and the God of Isaac. I'm giving you and your descendants the land you're lying on.
| الَّتِي سَتَكُونُ كَتُرَابِ الأَرْضِ، وَتَمْتَدُّ غَرْباً وَشَرْقاً، وَشِمَالاً وَجَنُوباً، وَتَتَبَارَكُ بِكَ وَبِذُرِّيَّتِكَ جَمِيعُ شُعُوبِ الأَرْضِ. | ١٤ 14 |
Your descendants will be as numerous as the dust of the earth, and will spread out west and east, and north and south. Everyone on earth will be blessed by your descendants.
| هَا أَنَا مَعَكَ وَأَرْعَاكَ حَيْثُمَا تَذْهَبُ، وَأَرُدُّكَ إِلَى هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ. وَلَنْ أَتْرُكَكَ إِلَى أَنْ أَفِيَ بِكُلِّ مَا وَعَدْتُكَ بِهِ». | ١٥ 15 |
Listen! I am with you and will take care of you wherever you go. I will bring you back to this country. I won't leave you because I'm going to do what I've promised you.”
| ثُمَّ أَفَاقَ يَعْقُوبُ مِنْ نَوْمِهِ وَقَالَ: «حَقّاً إِنَّ الرَّبَّ فِي هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ وَأَنَا لَمْ أَعْلَمْ!» | ١٦ 16 |
When Jacob woke up he said to himself, “The Lord is right here, in this place, and I didn't realize it!”
| وَاعْتَرَاهُ خَوْفٌ وَقَالَ: «مَا أَرْهَبَ هَذَا الْمَكَانَ! مَا هَذَا سِوَى بَيْتِ اللهِ وَهَذَا هُوَ بَابُ السَّمَاءِ». | ١٧ 17 |
He became frightened and said, “This is a scary place! It must be the house of God and the entrance to heaven.”
| ثُمَّ بَكَّرَ يَعْقُوبُ فِي الصَّبَاحِ، وَأَخَذَ الْحَجَرَ الَّذِي تَوَسَّدَهُ وَنَصَبَهُ عَمُوداً وَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِ زَيْتاً، | ١٨ 18 |
When Jacob got up in the morning he took the stone he'd put under his head and set it upright as a stone pillar and poured some olive oil on it.
| وَدَعَا الْمَكَانَ «بَيْتَ إِيلَ» (وَمَعْنَاهُ: بَيْتُ اللهِ) وَكَانَ اسْمُ الْمَدِينَةِ أَوَّلاً «لُوزَ». | ١٩ 19 |
He named the place “Bethel,” (previously it was called Luz).
| وَنَذَرَ يَعْقُوبُ نَذْراً قَائِلاً: «إِنْ كَانَ اللهُ مَعِي، وَرَعَانِي فِي هَذِهِ الطَّرِيقِ الَّتِي أَنَا أَسِيرُ فِيهَا وَوَفَّرَ لِي طَعَاماً لِآكُلَ وَثِيَاباً لأَلْبَسَ، | ٢٠ 20 |
Jacob also made a solemn promise, saying, “God, if you will be with me, and take care of me on my journey, and give me food to eat and clothes to wear
| وَعُدْتُ بِسَلامٍ إِلَى بَيْتِ أَبِي، عِنْدَئِذٍ يَكُونُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهاً لِي | ٢١ 21 |
so I can return safely to my father's home, then you Lord will be my God.
| وَيَكُونُ هَذَا الْحَجَرُ الَّذِي نَصَبْتُهُ عَمُوداً بَيْتاً لِلهِ، وَأَدْفَعُ عُشْرَ كُلِّ مَا تَرْزُقُنِي بِهِ». | ٢٢ 22 |
This stone pillar that I've set up will be the house of God, and I will give you one tenth of all you give me.”
