وَتَابَعَ يَعْقُوبُ رِحْلَتَهُ حَتَّى وَصَلَ أَرْضَ حَارَانَ. ١ 1
Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the children of the east.
وَتَطَلَّعَ حَوْلَهُ فَشَاهَدَ بِئْراً فِي الْحَقْلِ، تَرْبِضُ عِنْدَهَا ثَلاثَةُ قُطْعَانِ غَنَمٍ، لأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يَسْقُونَ الْقُطْعَانَ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْبِئْرِ. وَكَانَ الْحَجَرُ الَّذِي عَلَى فَمِ الْبِئْرِ كَبِيراً، ٢ 2
And he looked, and, behold, a well in the field, and, lo, three flocks of sheep lying there by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks: and the stone upon the well’s mouth was great.
فَكَانَ رُعَاةُ جَمِيعِ الْقُطْعَانِ يَجْتَمِعُونَ هُنَاكَ، وَيُدَحْرِجُونَ الْحَجَرَ عَنْ فَمِ الْبِئْرِ وَيَسْقُونَ الْغَنَمَ. ثُمَّ يَرُدُّونَ الْحَجَرَ إِلَى مَوْضِعِهِ عَلَى فَمِ الْبِئْرِ. ٣ 3
And thither were all the flocks gathered: and they rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again upon the well’s mouth in its place.
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَعْقُوبُ: «يَا إِخْوَتِي مِنْ أَيْنَ أَنْتُمْ؟» فَأَجَابُوا: «نَحْنُ مِنْ حَارَانَ». ٤ 4
And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, whence are ye? And they said, Of Haran are we.
فَسَأَلَهُمْ: «أَتَعْرِفُونَ لابَانَ بْنَ نَاحُورَ؟» فَأَجَابُوا: «نَعْرِفُهُ». ٥ 5
And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him.
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَهُوَ بِخَيْرٍ؟». فَأَجَابُوهُ: «هُوَ بِخَيْرٍ، وَهَا هِيَ رَاحِيلُ ابْنَتُهُ مُقْبِلَةٌ مَعَ الْغَنَمِ». ٦ 6
And he said unto them, Is it well with him? And they said, It is well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep.
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «هُوَذَا النَّهَارُ مَازَالَ طَوِيلاً، وَلَيْسَ هَذَا أَوَانَ اجْتِمَاعِ الْمَوَاشِي، فَاسْقُوا الْغَنَمَ وَامْضُوا بِها إلَى الْمَرَاعِي». ٧ 7
And he said, Lo, it is yet high day, neither is it time that the cattle should be gathered together: water ye the sheep, and go and feed them.
فَقَالُوا: «لا يُمْكِنُنَا ذَلِكَ إِلّا بَعْدَ أَنْ تَجْتَمِعَ جَمِيعُ الْقُطْعَانِ وَرُعَاتُهَا فَيُدَحْرِجُوا الْحَجَرَ عَنْ فَمِ الْبِئْرِ، فَنَسْقِي الْغَنَمَ». ٨ 8
And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks be gathered together, and they roll the stone from the well’s mouth; then we water the sheep.
وَفِيمَا هُوَ يُكَلِّمُهُمْ أَقْبَلَتْ رَاحِيلُ مَعَ غَنَمِ أَبِيهَا لأَنَّهَا كَانَتْ رَاعِيَةً أَيْضاً. ٩ 9
While he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep; for she kept them.
وَعِنْدَمَا رَآهَا يَعْقُوبُ، تَقَدَّمَ وَدَحْرَجَ الْحَجَرَ عَنْ فَمِ الْبِئْرِ وَسَقَى غَنَمَ خَالِهِ لابَانَ. ١٠ 10
And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother’s brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother’s brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother’s brother.
وَقَبَّلَ يَعْقُوبُ رَاحِيلَ وَأَجْهَشَ بِالْبُكَاءِ، ١١ 11
And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
ثُمَّ أَخْبَرَهَا أَنَّهُ قَرِيبُ وَالِدِهَا وَأَنَّهُ ابْنُ رِفْقَةَ. فَرَكَضَتْ وَأَخْبَرَتْ أَبَاهَا. ١٢ 12
And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father’s brother, and that he was Rebekah’s son: and she ran and told her father.
فَعِنْدَمَا سَمِعَ لابَانُ بِخَبَرِ ابْنِ أُخْتِهِ أَسْرَعَ لِلِقَائِهِ وَعَانَقَهُ وَقَبَّلَهُ وَأَحْضَرَهُ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ. فَقَصَّ يَعْقُوبُ عَلَى لابَانَ جَمِيعَ هَذِهِ الأُمُورِ. ١٣ 13
And it came to pass, when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister’s son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things.
فَقَالَ لَهُ لابَانُ: «حَقّاً إِنَّكَ عَظْمِي وَلَحْمِي». وَأَقَامَ عِنْدَهُ نَحْوَ شَهْرٍ مِنَ الزَّمَانِ. ١٤ 14
And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month.
وَقَالَ لابَانُ لِيَعْقُوبَ: «هَلْ لأَنَّكَ قَرِيبِي تَخْدُمُنِي مَجَّاناً؟ أَخْبِرْنِي مَا أُجْرَتُكَ؟» ١٥ 15
And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what shall thy wages be?
وَكَانَ لِلابَانَ ابْنَتَانِ، اسْمُ الْكُبْرَى لَيْئَةُ وَاسْمُ الصُّغْرَى رَاحِيلُ، ١٦ 16
And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
وَكَانَتْ لَيْئَةُ ضَعِيفَةَ الْبَصَرِ، وَأَمَّا رَاحِيلُ فَكَانَتْ جَمِيلَةَ الصُّورَةِ وَحَسَنَةَ الْمَنْظَرِ. ١٧ 17
And Leah’s eyes were tender; but Rachel was beautiful and well favored.
فَأَحَبَّ يَعْقُوبُ رَاحِيلَ. وَأَجَابَ يَعْقُوبُ خَالَهُ: «أَخْدِمُكَ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ لِقَاءَ زَوَاجِي بِرَاحِيلَ ابْنَتِكَ الصُّغْرَى». ١٨ 18
And Jacob loved Rachel; and he said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
فَقَالَ لابَانُ: «أَنْ أُزَوِّجَهَا مِنْكَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ أزَوِّجَهَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ آخَرَ، فَامْكُثْ عِنْدِي». ١٩ 19
And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me.
فَخَدَمَ يَعْقُوبُ سَبْعَ سَنَوَاتٍ لِيَتَزَوَّجَ مِنْ رَاحِيلَ بَدَتْ فِي نَظَرِهِ كَأَيَّامٍ قَلِيلَةٍ، لِفَرْطِ مَحَبَّتِهِ لَهَا. ٢٠ 20
And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her.
ثُمَّ قَالَ يَعْقُوبُ لِلابَانَ: «أَعْطِنِي زَوْجَتِي لأَنَّ خِدْمَتِي قَدْ كَمُلَتْ فَأَدْخُلَ عَلَيْهَا». ٢١ 21
And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.
فَجَمَعَ لابَانُ سَائِرَ أَهْلِ النَّاحِيَةِ وَأَقَامَ لَهُمْ مَأْدُبَةً. ٢٢ 22
And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
وَعِنْدَمَا حَلَّ الْمَسَاءُ حَمَلَ ابْنَتَهُ لَيْئَةَ وَزَفَّهَا إِلَيْهِ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا ٢٣ 23
And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her.
وَوَهَبَ لابَانُ زِلْفَةَ جَارِيَتَهُ لِتَكُونَ جَارِيَةً لابْنَتِهِ لَيْئَةَ. ٢٤ 24
And Laban gave Zilpah his handmaid unto his daughter Leah for a handmaid.
وَفِي الصَّبَاحِ اكْتَشَفَ يَعْقُوبُ أَنَّهُ تَزَوَّجَ بِلَيْئَةَ، فَقَالَ لِلابَانَ: «مَاذَا فَعَلْتَ بِي؟ أَلَمْ أَخْدِمْكَ سَبْعَ سَنَوَاتٍ لِقَاءَ زَوَاجِي مِنْ رَاحِيلَ؟ فَلِمَاذَا خَدَعْتَنِي؟». ٢٥ 25
And it came to pass in the morning that, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done unto me? did not I serve with thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou beguiled me?
فَأَجَابَهُ لابَانُ: «لَيْسَ مِنْ عَادَةِ بِلادِنَا أَنْ نُزَوِّجَ الصَّغِيرَةَ قَبْلَ الْبِكْرِ. ٢٦ 26
And Laban said, It is not so done in our place, to give the younger before the first-born.
أَكْمِلْ أُسْبُوعَ لَيْئَةَ ثُمَّ نُزَوِّجُكَ مِنْ رَاحِيلَ، لِقَاءَ خِدْمَتِكَ لِي سَبْعَ سِنِينَ أُخَرَ». ٢٧ 27
Fulfil the week of this one, and we will give thee the other also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.
فَوَافَقَ يَعْقُوبُ، وَأَكْمَلَ أُسْبُوعَ لَيْئَةَ، فَأَعْطَاهُ لابَانُ رَاحِيلَ ابْنَتَهُ زَوْجَةً أَيْضاً. ٢٨ 28
And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife.
وَوَهَبَ لابَانُ بِلْهَةَ جَارِيَتَهُ لِتَكُونَ جَارِيَةً لابْنَتِهِ رَاحِيلَ. ٢٩ 29
And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her handmaid.
فَدَخَلَ يَعْقُوبُ عَلَى رَاحِيلَ أَيْضاً، وَأَحَبَّ رَاحِيلَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ لَيْئَةَ. وَخَدَمَ خَالَهُ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ أُخَرَ. ٣٠ 30
And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.
وَعِنْدَمَا رَأَى الرَّبُّ أَنَّ لَيْئَةَ مَكْرُوهَةٌ جَعَلَهَا مُنْجِبَةً، أَمَّا رَاحِيلُ فَكَانَتْ عَاقِراً. ٣١ 31
And Jehovah saw that Leah was hated, and he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren.
فَحَمَلَتْ لَيْئَةُ وَأَنْجَبَتِ ابْناً دَعَتْهُ رَأُوبَيْنَ (وَمَعْنَاهُ: هُوَذَا ابْنٌ) لأَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: «حَقّاً قَدْ نَظَرَ الرَّبُّ إِلَى مَذَلَّتِي، فَالآنَ يُحِبُّنِي زَوْجِي». ٣٢ 32
And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Because Jehovah hath looked upon my affliction; for now my husband will love me.
وَحَمَلَتْ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى وَأَنْجَبَتِ ابْناً، فَقَالَتْ: «لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ سَمِعَ أَنَّنِي كُنْتُ مَكْرُوهَةً رَزَقَنِي هَذَا الابْنَ أَيْضاً». فَدَعَتْهُ شِمْعُونَ (وَمَعْنَاهُ: سَمِيعٌ) ٣٣ 33
And she conceived again, and bare a son: and said, Because Jehovah hath heard that I am hated, he hath therefore given me this [son] also: and she called his name Simeon.
ثُمَّ حَمَلَتْ مَرَّةً ثَالِثَةً وَأَنْجَبَتِ ابْناً فَقَالَتْ: «الآنَ فِي هَذِهِ الْمَرَّةِ يَتَّحِدُ بِي زَوْجِي، لأَنَّنِي أَنْجَبْتُ لَهُ ثَلاثَةَ بَنِينَ». لِذَلِكَ دُعِيَ اسْمُهُ لاوِي (وَمَعْنَاهُ: مُتَّحِدٌ) ٣٤ 34
And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have borne him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi.
وَحَبِلَتْ مَرَّةً رَابِعَةً وَأَنْجَبَتِ ابْناً فَقَالَتْ: «فِي هَذِهِ الْمَرَّةِ أَحْمَدُ الرَّبَّ». لِذَلِكَ دَعَتْهُ يَهُوذَا (وَمَعْنَاهُ: حَمْدٌ). ثُمَّ تَوَقَّفَتْ عَنِ الْوِلادَةِ. ٣٥ 35
And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, This time will I praise Jehovah: therefore she called his name Judah; and she left off bearing.
