تكوين 30
| وَعِنْدَمَا تَبَيَّنَتْ رَاحِيلُ أَنَّهَا عَاقِرٌ، غَارَتْ مِنْ أُخْتِهَا، وَقَالَتْ لِيَعْقُوبَ: «هَبْ لِي بَنِينَ وَإلَّا فَإِنِّي أَمُوتُ». | ١ 1 |
When Rachel saw that she was not bearing any children for Jacob, she envied her sister. “Give me children, or I will die!” she said to Jacob.
| فَاحْتَدَمَ غَضَبُ يَعْقُوبَ عَلَى رَاحِيلَ وَقَالَ: «أَلَعَلِّي أَقُومُ مَقَامَ اللهِ الَّذِي حَرَمَكِ مِنَ الإِنْجَابِ؟» | ٢ 2 |
Jacob became angry with Rachel and said, “Am I in the place of God, who has withheld children from you?”
| فَقَالَتْ لَهُ: «هَا هِيَ جَارِيَتِي بِلْهَةُ، عَاشِرْهَا فَتَلِدَ وَيَكُونَ لِي مِنْهَا بَنُونَ». | ٣ 3 |
Then she said, “Here is my maidservant Bilhah. Sleep with her, that she may bear children for me, so that through her I too can build a family.”
| وَأَعْطَتْهُ بِلْهَةَ زَوْجَةً فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا يَعْقُوبُ. | ٤ 4 |
So Rachel gave Jacob her servant Bilhah as a wife, and he slept with her,
| وَحَمَلَتْ بِلْهَةُ وَأَنْجَبَتْ لِيَعْقُوبَ ابْناً. | ٥ 5 |
and Bilhah conceived and bore him a son.
| فَقَالَتْ رَاحِيلُ: «قَدْ قَضَى اللهُ لِي وَأَصْغَى لِصَوْتِي وَرَزَقَنِي ابْناً». لِذَلِكَ دَعَتْهُ دَاناً (وَمَعْنَاهُ: قَاضٍ). | ٦ 6 |
Then Rachel said, “God has vindicated me; He has heard my plea and given me a son.” So she named him Dan.
| ثُمَّ حَمَلَتْ بِلْهَةُ جَارِيَةُ رَاحِيلَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى وَأَنْجَبَتْ لِيَعْقُوبَ ابْناً ثَانِياً، | ٧ 7 |
And Rachel’s servant Bilhah conceived again and bore Jacob a second son.
| فَقَالَتْ رَاحِيلُ: «قَدْ تَصَارَعْتُ مَعَ أُخْتِي مُصَارَعَاتٍ عَنِيفَةً وَظَفِرْتُ». وَدَعَتْهُ نَفْتَالِي (وَمَعْنَاهُ: مُصَارَعَتِي). | ٨ 8 |
Then Rachel said, “In my great struggles, I have wrestled with my sister and won.” So she named him Naphtali.
| وَلَمَّا رَأَتْ لَيْئَةُ أَنَّهَا كَفَّتْ عَنِ الْوِلادَةِ، أَخَذَتْ جَارِيَتَهَا زِلْفَةَ وَأَعْطَتْهَا لِيَعْقُوبَ زَوْجَةً، | ٩ 9 |
When Leah saw that she had stopped having children, she gave her servant Zilpah to Jacob as a wife.
| فَأَنْجَبَتْ زِلْفَةُ جَارِيَةُ لَيْئَةَ لِيَعْقُوبَ ابْناً | ١٠ 10 |
And Leah’s servant Zilpah bore Jacob a son.
| فَقَالَتْ لَيْئَةُ: «يَا لَحُسْنِ الْحَظِّ!» وَدَعَتْهُ جَاداً (وَمَعْنَاهُ: فَأْلٌ حَسَنٌ، أَوْ كَتِيبَةٌ قَادِمَةٌ). | ١١ 11 |
Then Leah said, “How fortunate!” So she named him Gad.
| وَأَنْجَبَتْ زِلْفَةُ جَارِيَةُ لَيْئَةُ ابْناً ثَانِياً لِيَعْقُوبَ، | ١٢ 12 |
When Leah’s servant Zilpah bore Jacob a second son,
| فَقَالَتْ لَيْئَةُ: «يَا لَغِبْطَتِي، لأَنَّ النِّسَاءَ سَيَدْعُونَنِي الْمَغْبُوطَةَ». وَأَسْمَتْهُ أَشِيْرَ (وَمَعْنَاهُ: سَعِيدٌ أَوْ مَغْبُوطٌ). | ١٣ 13 |
Leah said, “How happy I am! For the women call me happy.” So she named him Asher.
| وَذَهَبَ رَأُوبَيْنُ فِي مَوْسِمِ حَصَادِ الْقَمْحِ إِلَى الْحَقْلِ، فَعَثَرَ فِيهِ عَلَى نَبَاتِ اللُّفَّاحِ وَجَاءَ بِهِ إِلَى أُمِّهِ لَيْئَةَ. فَقَالَتْ رَاحِيلُ لِلَيْئَةَ: «أَعْطِنِي مِنْ لُفَّاحِ ابْنِكِ». | ١٤ 14 |
Now during the wheat harvest, Reuben went out and found some mandrakes in the field. When he brought them to his mother, Rachel begged Leah, “Please give me some of your son’s mandrakes.”
| فَأَجَابَتْهَا: «أَلَمْ يَكْفِ أَنَّكِ أَخَذْتِ مِنِّي زَوْجِي، وَالآنَ تُرِيِدينَ أَنْ تَأْخُذِي لُفَّاحَ ابْنِي أَيْضاً؟» فَأَجَابَتْهَا رَاحِيلُ: «إِذاً يُعَاشِرُكِ اللَّيلَةَ لِقَاءَ لُفَّاحِ ابْنِكِ». | ١٥ 15 |
But Leah replied, “Is it not enough that you have taken away my husband? Now you want to take my son’s mandrakes as well?” “Very well,” said Rachel, “he may sleep with you tonight in exchange for your son’s mandrakes.”
| وَعِنْدَمَا رَجَعَ يَعْقُوبُ مِنَ الْحَقَلِ فِي الْمَسَاءِ خَرَجَتْ لَيْئَةُ لِلِقَائِهِ وَقَالَتْ لَهُ: «إِلَيَّ تَجِيءُ اللَّيْلَةَ لأَنَّنِي قَدِ اسْتَأْجَرْتُكَ بِلُفَّاحِ ابْنِي». فَعَاشَرَهَا فِي تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ. | ١٦ 16 |
When Jacob came in from the field that evening, Leah went out to meet him and said, “You must come with me, for I have hired you with my son’s mandrakes.” So he slept with her that night.
| وَاسْتَجَابَ اللهُ لِلَيْئَةَ فَحَمَلَتْ وَأَنْجَبَتْ لِيَعْقُوبَ ابْناً خَامِساً. | ١٧ 17 |
And God listened to Leah, and she conceived and bore a fifth son to Jacob.
| فَقَالَتْ لَيْئَةُ: «قَدْ أَعْطَانِي اللهُ أُجْرَتِي لأَنَّنِي وَهَبْتُ جَارِيَتِي لِزَوْجِي». وَدَعَتْهُ يَسَّاكَرَ (وَمَعْنَاهُ: يَعْمَلُ بِأُجْرَةٍ) | ١٨ 18 |
Then Leah said, “God has rewarded me for giving my maidservant to my husband.” So she named him Issachar.
| وَحَبِلَتْ لَيْئَةُ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى فَأَنْجَبَتْ لِيَعْقُوبَ ابْناً سَادِساً. | ١٩ 19 |
Again Leah conceived and bore a sixth son to Jacob.
| وَقَالَتْ لَيْئَةُ: «قَدَ وَهَبَنِي اللهُ هِبَةً ثَمِينَةً، وَالآنَ يُقِيمُ مَعِي زَوْجِي لأَنِّي أَنْجَبْتُ لَهُ سِتَّةَ بَنِينَ». وَدَعَتْهُ زَبُولُونَ (وَمَعْنَاهُ إِقَامَةُ). | ٢٠ 20 |
“God has given me a good gift,” she said. “This time my husband will honor me, because I have borne him six sons.” And she named him Zebulun.
| ثُمَّ أَنْجَبَتِ ابْنَةً دَعَتْهَا «دِينَةَ». | ٢١ 21 |
After that, Leah gave birth to a daughter and named her Dinah.
| وَذَكَرَ اللهُ رَاحِيلَ وَاسْتَجَابَ لَهَا وَفَتَحَ رَحِمَهَا، | ٢٢ 22 |
Then God remembered Rachel. He listened to her and opened her womb,
| فَحَمَلَتْ وَأَنْجَبَتِ ابْناً وَقَالَتْ: «قَدَ نَزَعَ اللهُ عَنِّي عَارِي». | ٢٣ 23 |
and she conceived and gave birth to a son. “God has taken away my shame,” she said.
| وَدَعَتْهُ يُوسُفَ (وَمَعْنَاهُ يَزِيدُ) قَائِلَةً: «لِيَزِدْنِي الرَّبُّ ابْناً آخَرَ». | ٢٤ 24 |
She named him Joseph, and said, “May the LORD add to me another son.”
| وَعِنْدَمَا وَلَدَتْ رَاحِيلُ يُوسُفَ، قَالَ يَعْقُوبُ لِلابَانَ: «أَخْلِ سَبِيلِي فَأَنْطَلِقَ إِلَى بَلَدِي وَإِلَى أَرْضِي، | ٢٥ 25 |
Now after Rachel had given birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Send me on my way so I can return to my homeland.
| وَأَعْطِنِي نِسَائِي وَأَوْلادِي الَّذِينَ خَدَمْتُكَ بِهِمْ، وَدَعْنِي أَمْضِي، فَأَنْتَ تُدْرِكُ أَيَّةَ خِدْمَةٍ خَدَمْتُكَ». | ٢٦ 26 |
Give me my wives and children for whom I have served you, that I may go on my way. You know how hard I have worked for you.”
| فَقَالَ لَهُ لابَانُ: «إِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ حَظِيتُ بِرِضَاكَ فَأَرْجُوكَ أَنْ تَمْكُثَ مَعِي، لأَنَّنِي عَرَفْتُ بِالتَّفَاؤُلِ بِالْغَيْبِ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ بَارَكَنِي بِفَضْلِكَ». | ٢٧ 27 |
But Laban replied, “If I have found favor in your eyes, please stay. I have learned by divination that the LORD has blessed me because of you.”
| وَأَضَافَ: «عَيِّنْ لِي أُجْرَتَكَ فَأُعْطِيَكَ إِيَّاهَا». | ٢٨ 28 |
And he added, “Name your wages, and I will pay them.”
| فَقَالَ لَهُ يَعْقُوبُ: «أَنْتَ تَعْلَمُ كَيْفَ خَدَمْتُكَ، وَمَاذَا آلَتْ إِلَيْهِ مَوَاشِيكَ تَحْتَ رِعَايَتِي، | ٢٩ 29 |
Then Jacob answered, “You know how I have served you and how your livestock have thrived under my care.
| فَالْقَلِيلُ الَّذِي كَانَ لَكَ قَبْلَ مَجِيئِي ازْدَادَ أَضْعَافاً كَثِيرَةً، فَبَارَكَكَ الرَّبُّ مُنْذُ أَنْ قَدِمْتُ عَلَيْكَ، وَالآنَ مَتَى أَشْرَعُ فِي تَحْصِيلِ رِزْقِ عَائِلَتِي؟» | ٣٠ 30 |
Indeed, you had very little before my arrival, but now your wealth has increased many times over. The LORD has blessed you wherever I set foot. But now, when may I also provide for my own household?”
| فَسَأَلَهُ: «مَاذَا أُعْطِيكَ؟» فَأَجَابَهُ يَعْقُوبُ: «لا تُعْطِنِي شَيْئاً. وَلَكِنْ إِنْ أَرَدْتَ، فَاصْنَعْ لِي هَذَا الأَمْرَ الْوَاحِدَ فَأَذْهَبَ وَأَرْعَى غَنَمَكَ وَأَعْتَنِيَ بِها: | ٣١ 31 |
“What can I give you?” Laban asked. “You do not need to give me anything,” Jacob replied. “If you do this one thing for me, I will keep on shepherding and keeping your flocks.
| دَعْنِي أَمُرُّ الْيَوْمَ بَيْنَ مَوَاشِيكَ كُلِّهَا، فَتَعْزِلَ مِنْهَا كُلَّ شَاةٍ رَقْطَاءَ وَبَلْقَاءَ وَسَوْدَاءَ مِنْ بَيْنِ الْخِرْفَانِ، وَكُلَّ بَلْقَاءَ وَرَقْطَاءَ بَيْنَ الْمِعْزَى، فَتَكُونُ هَذِهِ أُجْرَتِي. | ٣٢ 32 |
Let me go through all your flocks today and remove from them every speckled or spotted sheep, every dark-colored lamb, and every spotted or speckled goat. These will be my wages.
| وَتَكُونُ أَمَانَتِي شَاهِدَةً عَلَى صِدْقِ خِدْمَتِي فِي مُسْتَقْبَلِ الأَيَّامِ. فَإِذَا جِئْتَ تَفْحَصُ أُجْرَتِي، وَوَجَدْتَ عِنْدِي مَا لَيْسَ أَرْقَطَ أَوْ أَبْلَقَ بَيْنَ الْمِعْزَى وَأَسْوَدَ بَيْنَ الْخِرْفَانِ، يَكُونُ مَسْرُوقاً عِنْدِي». | ٣٣ 33 |
So my honesty will testify for me when you come to check on my wages in the future. If I have any goats that are not speckled or spotted, or any lambs that are not dark-colored, they will be considered stolen.”
| فَقَالَ لابَانُ: «لِيَكُنْ وَفْقاً لِقَوْلِكَ». | ٣٤ 34 |
“Agreed,” said Laban. “Let it be as you have said.”
| وَعَزَلَ لابَانُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ التُّيُوسَ الْمُخَطَّطَةَ وَالْبَلْقَاءَ، وَكُلَّ عَنْزٍ رَقْطَاءَ وَبَلْقَاءَ، كُلَّ مَا فِيهِ بَيَاضٌ وَكُلَّ خَرُوفٍ أَسْوَدَ. وَعَهِدَ بِها إِلَى أَبْنَاءِ يَعْقُوبَ. | ٣٥ 35 |
That very day Laban removed all the streaked or spotted male goats and every speckled or spotted female goat—every one that had any white on it—and every dark-colored lamb, and he placed them under the care of his sons.
| وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ يَعْقُوبَ مَسَافَةَ ثَلاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ، وَاسْتَمَرَّ يَعْقُوبُ يَرْعَى مَوَاشِي لابَانَ. | ٣٦ 36 |
Then he put a three-day journey between himself and Jacob, while Jacob was shepherding the rest of Laban’s flocks.
| وَأَخَذَ يَعْقُوبُ قُضْبَاناً خَضْرَاءَ مِنْ أَشْجَارِ اللُّبْنَى وَاللَّوْزِ وَالدُّلْبِ وَقَلَّمَهَا بِخُطُوطٍ بَيْضَاءَ كَاشِفاً عَمَّا تَحْتَ الْقِشْرَةِ مِنْ بَيَاضٍ، | ٣٧ 37 |
Jacob, however, took fresh branches of poplar, almond, and plane trees, and peeled the bark, exposing the white inner wood of the branches.
| وَنَصَبَ الْقُضْبَانَ الَّتِي قَلَّمَهَا تِجَاهَ الْغَنَمِ فِي أَجْرَانِ مَسَاقِي الْمَاءِ حَيْثُ تَرِدُ الْمَوَاشِي، فَتَتَوَحَّمُ عَلَيْهَا إِذَا مَا أَقْبَلَتْ لِتَشْرَبَ. | ٣٨ 38 |
Then he set the peeled branches in the watering troughs in front of the flocks coming in to drink. So when the flocks were in heat and came to drink,
| فَكَانَتِ الْغَنَمُ تَتَوَحَّمُ عِنْدَ الْقُضْبَانِ، فَتَلِدُ غَنَماً مُخَطَّطَةً وَرَقْطَاءَ وَبَلْقَاءَ. | ٣٩ 39 |
they mated in front of the branches. And they bore young that were streaked or speckled or spotted.
| وَفَرَزَ يَعْقُوبُ الْحُمْلانَ، وَجَعَلَ مُقَدِّمَةَ الْمَوَاشِي فِي مُوَاجَهَةِ كُلِّ مَا هُوَ مُخَطَّطٌ وَأَسْوَدُ مِنْ غَنَمِ لابَانَ، وَأَقَامَ لِنَفْسِهِ قُطْعَاناً عَلَى حِدَةٍ بِمَعْزِلٍ عَنْ غَنَمِ لابَانَ. | ٤٠ 40 |
Jacob set apart the young, but made the rest face the streaked dark-colored sheep in Laban’s flocks. Then he set his own stock apart and did not put them with Laban’s animals.
| فَكَانَ يَعْقُوبُ كُلَّمَا تَوَحَّمَتِ الْغَنَمُ الْقَوِيَّةُ يَنْصِبُ الْقُضْبَانَ أَمَامَ عُيُونِ الْمَوَاشِي فِي الأَجْرَانِ لِتَتَوَحَّمَ بَيْنَ الْقُضْبَانِ. | ٤١ 41 |
Whenever the stronger females of the flock were in heat, Jacob would place the branches in the troughs, in full view of the animals, so that they would breed in front of the branches.
| وَحِينَ تَكُونُ الْغَنَمُ ضَعِيفَةً، لَا يَضَعُ الْقُضْبَانَ أَمَامَهَا، فَصَارَتِ الضَّعِيفَةُ لِلابَانَ وَالْقَوِيَّةُ لِيَعْقُوبَ. | ٤٢ 42 |
But if the animals were weak, he did not set out the branches. So the weaker animals went to Laban and the stronger ones to Jacob.
| فَاغْتَنَى الرَّجُلُ جِدّاً، وَكَثُرَتْ مَوَاشِيهِ وَجَوَارِيهِ وَعَبِيدُهُ وَجِمَالُهُ وَحَمِيرُهُ. | ٤٣ 43 |
Thus Jacob became exceedingly prosperous. He owned large flocks, maidservants and menservants, and camels and donkeys.
