تكوين 28
| فَاسْتَدْعَى إِسْحاقُ يَعْقُوبَ وَبَارَكَهُ وَأَوْصَاهُ قَائِلاً: «لا تَتَزَوَّجْ مِنْ بَنَاتِ كَنْعَانَ. | ١ 1 |
Isaac called Jacob, blessed him, and commanded him, “You shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
| قُمِ انْطَلِقْ إِلَى سَهْلِ أَرَامَ، إِلَى بَيْتِ بَتُوئِيلَ أَبِي أُمِّكَ، وَتَزَوَّجْ إِحْدَى بَنَاتِ خَالِكَ لابَانَ. | ٢ 2 |
Arise, go to Paddan Aram, to the house of Bethuel your mother’s father. Take a wife from there from the daughters of Laban, your mother’s brother.
| وَلْيُبَارِكْكَ اللهُ الْقَدِيرُ وَيُنَمِّكَ وَيُكَثِّرْكَ لِتَكُونَ أُمَّةً تَتَفَرَّعُ مِنْهَا شُعُوبٌ كَثِيرَةٌ، | ٣ 3 |
May God Almighty bless you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, that you may be a company of peoples,
| وَلْيُعْطِكَ أَنْتَ وَذُرِّيَّتَكَ مَعَكَ بَرَكَةَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لِتَرِثَ أَرْضَ غُرْبَتِكَ الَّتِي تُقِيمُ فِيهَا الآنَ؛ هَذِهِ الأَرْضَ الَّتِي وَهَبَهَا اللهُ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ». | ٤ 4 |
and give you the blessing of Abraham, to you and to your offspring with you, that you may inherit the land where you travel, which 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 |
Isaac sent Jacob away. He went to Paddan Aram to Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob’s and Esau’s mother.
| وَلَمَّا رَأَى عِيسُو أَنَّ إِسْحاقَ قَدْ بَارَكَ يَعْقُوبَ وَصَرَفَهُ إِلَى سَهْلِ أَرَامَ لِيَخْتَارَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ زَوْجَةً، وَأَوْصَاهُ قَائِلاً: «لا تَتَزَوَّجِ امْرَأَةً كَنْعَانِيَّةً» | ٦ 6 |
Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan Aram, to take him a wife from there, and that as he blessed him he gave him a command, saying, “You shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;”
| وَأَنَّ يَعْقُوبَ أَطَاعَ وَالِدَيْهِ وَارْتَحَلَ إِلَى سَهْلِ أَرَامَ | ٧ 7 |
and that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Paddan Aram.
| وَإِذْ رَأَى عِيسُو أَنَّ بَنَاتِ كَنْعَانَ شِرِّيرَاتٌ لَمْ يَحْظَيْنَ بِرِضَى أَبِيهِ | ٨ 8 |
Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan didn’t please Isaac, his father.
| مَضَى إِلَى إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَمِّهِ وَأَخَذَ مَحْلَةَ ابْنَةَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أُخْتَ نَبَايُوتَ، زَوْجَةً لَهُ عَلَى نِسَائِهِ. | ٩ 9 |
So Esau went to Ishmael, and took, in addition to the wives that he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife.
| أَمَّا يَعْقُوبُ فَتَوَجَّهَ مِنْ بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ نَحْوَ حَارَانَ، | ١٠ 10 |
Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.
| فَصَادَفَ مَوْضِعاً قَضَى فِيهِ لَيْلَتَهُ لأَنَّ الشَّمْسَ كَانَتْ قَدْ غَابَتْ، فَأَخَذَ بَعْضَ حِجَارَةِ الْمَوْضِعِ وَتَوَسَّدَهَا وَبَاتَ هُنَاكَ. | ١١ 11 |
He came to a certain place, and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. He took one of the stones of the place, and put it under his head, and lay down in that place to sleep.
| وَرَأَى حُلْماً شَاهَدَ فِيهِ سُلَّماً قَائِمَةً عَلَى الأَرْضِ وَرَأْسُهَا يَمَسُّ السَّمَاءَ، وَمَلائِكَةُ اللهِ تَصْعَدُ وَتَنْزِلُ عَلَيْهَا، | ١٢ 12 |
He dreamed and saw a stairway set upon the earth, and its top reached to heaven. Behold, the angels of God were ascending and descending 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 |
Behold, Yahweh stood above it, and said, “I am Yahweh, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac. I will give the land you lie on to you and to your offspring.
| الَّتِي سَتَكُونُ كَتُرَابِ الأَرْضِ، وَتَمْتَدُّ غَرْباً وَشَرْقاً، وَشِمَالاً وَجَنُوباً، وَتَتَبَارَكُ بِكَ وَبِذُرِّيَّتِكَ جَمِيعُ شُعُوبِ الأَرْضِ. | ١٤ 14 |
Your offspring will be as the dust of the earth, and you will spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south. In you and in your offspring, all the families of the earth will be blessed.
| هَا أَنَا مَعَكَ وَأَرْعَاكَ حَيْثُمَا تَذْهَبُ، وَأَرُدُّكَ إِلَى هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ. وَلَنْ أَتْرُكَكَ إِلَى أَنْ أَفِيَ بِكُلِّ مَا وَعَدْتُكَ بِهِ». | ١٥ 15 |
Behold, I am with you, and will keep you, wherever you go, and will bring you again into this land. For I will not leave you until I have done that which I have spoken of to you.”
| ثُمَّ أَفَاقَ يَعْقُوبُ مِنْ نَوْمِهِ وَقَالَ: «حَقّاً إِنَّ الرَّبَّ فِي هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ وَأَنَا لَمْ أَعْلَمْ!» | ١٦ 16 |
Jacob awakened out of his sleep, and he said, “Surely Yahweh is in this place, and I didn’t know it.”
| وَاعْتَرَاهُ خَوْفٌ وَقَالَ: «مَا أَرْهَبَ هَذَا الْمَكَانَ! مَا هَذَا سِوَى بَيْتِ اللهِ وَهَذَا هُوَ بَابُ السَّمَاءِ». | ١٧ 17 |
He was afraid, and said, “How awesome this place is! This is none other than God’s house, and this is the gate of heaven.”
| ثُمَّ بَكَّرَ يَعْقُوبُ فِي الصَّبَاحِ، وَأَخَذَ الْحَجَرَ الَّذِي تَوَسَّدَهُ وَنَصَبَهُ عَمُوداً وَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِ زَيْتاً، | ١٨ 18 |
Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put under his head, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil on its top.
| وَدَعَا الْمَكَانَ «بَيْتَ إِيلَ» (وَمَعْنَاهُ: بَيْتُ اللهِ) وَكَانَ اسْمُ الْمَدِينَةِ أَوَّلاً «لُوزَ». | ١٩ 19 |
He called the name of that place Bethel, but the name of the city was Luz at the first.
| 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 vowed a vow, saying, “If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and clothing to put on,
| وَعُدْتُ بِسَلامٍ إِلَى بَيْتِ أَبِي، عِنْدَئِذٍ يَكُونُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهاً لِي | ٢١ 21 |
so that I come again to my father’s house in peace, and Yahweh will be my God,
| وَيَكُونُ هَذَا الْحَجَرُ الَّذِي نَصَبْتُهُ عَمُوداً بَيْتاً لِلهِ، وَأَدْفَعُ عُشْرَ كُلِّ مَا تَرْزُقُنِي بِهِ». | ٢٢ 22 |
then this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, will be God’s house. Of all that you will give me I will surely give a tenth to you.”
