< تكوين 28 >

فَاسْتَدْعَى إِسْحاقُ يَعْقُوبَ وَبَارَكَهُ وَأَوْصَاهُ قَائِلاً: «لا تَتَزَوَّجْ مِنْ بَنَاتِ كَنْعَانَ. ١ 1
And Isaac calleth unto Jacob, and blesseth him, and commandeth him, and saith to him, 'Thou dost not take a wife of the daughters of Caanan;
قُمِ انْطَلِقْ إِلَى سَهْلِ أَرَامَ، إِلَى بَيْتِ بَتُوئِيلَ أَبِي أُمِّكَ، وَتَزَوَّجْ إِحْدَى بَنَاتِ خَالِكَ لابَانَ. ٢ 2
rise, go to Padan-Aram, to the house of Bethuel, thy mother's father, and take for thyself from thence a wife, of the daughters of Laban, thy mother's brother;
وَلْيُبَارِكْكَ اللهُ الْقَدِيرُ وَيُنَمِّكَ وَيُكَثِّرْكَ لِتَكُونَ أُمَّةً تَتَفَرَّعُ مِنْهَا شُعُوبٌ كَثِيرَةٌ، ٣ 3
and God Almighty doth bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and thou hast become an assembly of peoples;
وَلْيُعْطِكَ أَنْتَ وَذُرِّيَّتَكَ مَعَكَ بَرَكَةَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لِتَرِثَ أَرْضَ غُرْبَتِكَ الَّتِي تُقِيمُ فِيهَا الآنَ؛ هَذِهِ الأَرْضَ الَّتِي وَهَبَهَا اللهُ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ». ٤ 4
and He doth give to thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee and to thy seed with thee, to cause thee to possess the land of thy sojournings, 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
And Isaac sendeth away Jacob, and he goeth to Padan-Aram, unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Aramaean, brother of Rebekah, 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
And Esau seeth that Isaac hath blessed Jacob, and hath sent him to Padan-Aram to take to himself from thence a wife — in his blessing him that he layeth a charge upon him, saying, Thou dost not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan —
وَأَنَّ يَعْقُوبَ أَطَاعَ وَالِدَيْهِ وَارْتَحَلَ إِلَى سَهْلِ أَرَامَ ٧ 7
that Jacob hearkeneth unto his father and unto his mother, and goeth to Padan-Aram —
وَإِذْ رَأَى عِيسُو أَنَّ بَنَاتِ كَنْعَانَ شِرِّيرَاتٌ لَمْ يَحْظَيْنَ بِرِضَى أَبِيهِ ٨ 8
and Esau seeth that the daughters of Canaan are evil in the eyes of Isaac his father,
مَضَى إِلَى إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَمِّهِ وَأَخَذَ مَحْلَةَ ابْنَةَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أُخْتَ نَبَايُوتَ، زَوْجَةً لَهُ عَلَى نِسَائِهِ. ٩ 9
and Esau goeth unto Ishmael, and taketh Mahalath, daughter of Ishmael, Abraham's son, sister of Nebajoth, unto his wives, to himself, for a wife.
أَمَّا يَعْقُوبُ فَتَوَجَّهَ مِنْ بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ نَحْوَ حَارَانَ، ١٠ 10
And Jacob goeth out from Beer-Sheba, and goeth toward Haran,
فَصَادَفَ مَوْضِعاً قَضَى فِيهِ لَيْلَتَهُ لأَنَّ الشَّمْسَ كَانَتْ قَدْ غَابَتْ، فَأَخَذَ بَعْضَ حِجَارَةِ الْمَوْضِعِ وَتَوَسَّدَهَا وَبَاتَ هُنَاكَ. ١١ 11
and he toucheth at a [certain] place, and lodgeth there, for the sun hath gone in, and he taketh of the stones of the place, and maketh [them] his pillows, and lieth down in that place.
وَرَأَى حُلْماً شَاهَدَ فِيهِ سُلَّماً قَائِمَةً عَلَى الأَرْضِ وَرَأْسُهَا يَمَسُّ السَّمَاءَ، وَمَلائِكَةُ اللهِ تَصْعَدُ وَتَنْزِلُ عَلَيْهَا، ١٢ 12
And he dreameth, and lo, a ladder set up on the earth, and its head is touching the heavens; and lo, messengers of God are going up and coming down by 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
and lo, Jehovah is standing upon it, and He saith, 'I [am] Jehovah, God of Abraham thy father, and God of Isaac; the land on which thou art lying, to thee I give it, and to thy seed;
الَّتِي سَتَكُونُ كَتُرَابِ الأَرْضِ، وَتَمْتَدُّ غَرْباً وَشَرْقاً، وَشِمَالاً وَجَنُوباً، وَتَتَبَارَكُ بِكَ وَبِذُرِّيَّتِكَ جَمِيعُ شُعُوبِ الأَرْضِ. ١٤ 14
and thy seed hath been as the dust of the land, and thou hast broken forth westward, and eastward, and northward, and southward, and all families of the ground have been blessed in thee and in thy seed.
هَا أَنَا مَعَكَ وَأَرْعَاكَ حَيْثُمَا تَذْهَبُ، وَأَرُدُّكَ إِلَى هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ. وَلَنْ أَتْرُكَكَ إِلَى أَنْ أَفِيَ بِكُلِّ مَا وَعَدْتُكَ بِهِ». ١٥ 15
'And lo, I [am] with thee, and have kept thee whithersoever thou goest, and have caused thee to turn back unto this ground; for I leave thee not till that I have surely done that which I have spoken to thee.'
ثُمَّ أَفَاقَ يَعْقُوبُ مِنْ نَوْمِهِ وَقَالَ: «حَقّاً إِنَّ الرَّبَّ فِي هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ وَأَنَا لَمْ أَعْلَمْ!» ١٦ 16
And Jacob awaketh out of his sleep, and saith, 'Surely Jehovah is in this place, and I knew not;'
وَاعْتَرَاهُ خَوْفٌ وَقَالَ: «مَا أَرْهَبَ هَذَا الْمَكَانَ! مَا هَذَا سِوَى بَيْتِ اللهِ وَهَذَا هُوَ بَابُ السَّمَاءِ». ١٧ 17
and he feareth, and saith, 'How fearful [is] this place; this is nothing but a house of God, and this a gate of the heavens.'
ثُمَّ بَكَّرَ يَعْقُوبُ فِي الصَّبَاحِ، وَأَخَذَ الْحَجَرَ الَّذِي تَوَسَّدَهُ وَنَصَبَهُ عَمُوداً وَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِ زَيْتاً، ١٨ 18
And Jacob riseth early in the morning, and taketh the stone which he hath made his pillows, and maketh it a standing pillar, and poureth oil upon its top,
وَدَعَا الْمَكَانَ «بَيْتَ إِيلَ» (وَمَعْنَاهُ: بَيْتُ اللهِ) وَكَانَ اسْمُ الْمَدِينَةِ أَوَّلاً «لُوزَ». ١٩ 19
and he calleth the name of that place Bethel, [house of God, ] and yet, Luz [is] the name of the city 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
And Jacob voweth a vow, saying, 'Seeing God is with me, and hath kept me in this way which I am going, and hath given to me bread to eat, and a garment to put on —
وَعُدْتُ بِسَلامٍ إِلَى بَيْتِ أَبِي، عِنْدَئِذٍ يَكُونُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهاً لِي ٢١ 21
when I have turned back in peace unto the house of my father, and Jehovah hath become my God,
وَيَكُونُ هَذَا الْحَجَرُ الَّذِي نَصَبْتُهُ عَمُوداً بَيْتاً لِلهِ، وَأَدْفَعُ عُشْرَ كُلِّ مَا تَرْزُقُنِي بِهِ». ٢٢ 22
then this stone which I have made a standing pillar is a house of God, and all that Thou dost give to me — tithing I tithe to Thee.'
