< تكوين 33 >

وَتَطَلَّعَ يَعْقُوبُ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، فَرَأَى عِيسُو مُقْبِلاً وَمَعَهُ أَرْبَعُ مِئَةِ رَجُلٍ، فَفَرَّق أَوْلادَهُ عَلَى لَيْئَةَ وَرَاحِيلَ وَالْجَارِيَتَيْنِ. ١ 1
Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau was coming, and with him four hundred men. He divided the children between Leah, Rachel, and the two servants.
فَجَعَلَ الْجَارِيَتَيْنِ وَأَوْلادَهُمَا فِي الطَّلِيعَةِ، ثُمَّ لَيْئَةَ وَأَوْلادَهَا، وَأَخِيراً رَاحِيلَ وَيُوسُفَ. ٢ 2
He put the servants and their children in front, Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph at the rear.
وَتَقَدَّمَهُمْ، وَسَجَدَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ حَتَّى اقْتَرَبَ مِنْ أَخِيهِ. ٣ 3
He himself passed over in front of them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
فَأَسْرَعَ عِيسُو لِمُلاقَاتِهِ وَعَانَقَهُ وَقَبَّلَهُ، وَبَكَيَا. ٤ 4
Esau ran to meet him, embraced him, fell on his neck, kissed him, and they wept.
وَتَلَفَّتَ عِيسُو حَوْلَهُ فَشَاهَدَ النِّسَاءَ وَالأَوْلادَ فَقَالَ: «مَنْ هَؤُلاءِ الَّذِينَ مَعَكَ؟» فَأَجَابَ: «هُمُ الأَوْلادُ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللهُ بِهِمْ عَلَى عَبْدِكَ». ٥ 5
He lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, “Who are these with you?” He said, “The children whom God has graciously given your servant.”
ثُمَّ دَنَتِ الْجَارِيَتَانِ مَعَ أَوْلادِهِمَا وَانْحَنَوْا أَمَامَ عِيسُو. ٦ 6
Then the servants came near with their children, and they bowed themselves.
وَبَعْدَهُمْ اقْتَرَبَتْ لَيْئَةُ وَأَوْلادُهَا وَانْحَنَوْا أَيْضاً، وَأَخِيراً تَقَدَّمَتْ رَاحِيلُ وَيُوسُفُ وَانْحَنَيَا أَمَامَهُ. ٧ 7
Leah also and her children came near, and bowed themselves. After them, Joseph came near with Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
وَسَأَلَ عِيسُو: «مَا هُوَ قَصْدُكَ مِنْ كُلِّ هَذِهِ الْقُطْعَانِ الَّتِي صَادَفْتُهَا؟». فَأَجَابَ يَعْقُوبُ: «هِيَ لِكَيْ أَحْظَى بِرِضَى سَيِّدِي». ٨ 8
Esau said, “What do you mean by all this company which I met?” Jacob said, “To find favor in the sight of my lord.”
فَقَالَ عِيسُو: «إِنَّ لَدَيَّ كَثِيراً يَا أَخِي. فَاحْتَفِظْ لِنَفْسِكَ بِمَا لَكَ». ٩ 9
Esau said, “I have enough, my brother; let that which you have be yours.”
فَقَالَ يَعْقُوبُ: «لا، إِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ حَظِيتُ بِرِضَاكَ، فَأَرْجُو مِنْكَ أَنْ تَقْبَلَ مِنِّي هَدِيَّتِي لأَنِّي رَأَيْتُ وَجْهَكَ كَمَا يُرَى وَجْهُ اللهِ، فَرَضِيتَ عَنِّي. ١٠ 10
Jacob said, “Please, no, if I have now found favor in your sight, then receive my present at my hand, because I have seen your face, as one sees the face of God, and you were pleased with me.
فَأَطْلُبُ إِلَيْكَ أَنْ تَقْبَلَ بَرَكَتِي الَّتِي حَمَلْتُهَا إِلَيْكَ، فَإِنَّ اللهَ قَدْ أَغْدَقَ عَلَيَّ، وَلَدَيَّ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ». وَأَلَحَّ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى قَبِلَ. ١١ 11
Please take the gift that I brought to you, because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough.” He urged him, and he took it.
وَقَالَ عِيسُو: «لِنَرْتَحِلْ فَأَسِيرَ أَمَامَكَ وَتَتْبَعَنِي». ١٢ 12
Esau said, “Let’s take our journey, and let’s go, and I will go before you.”
فَأَجَابَهُ يَعْقُوبُ: «يَا سَيِّدِي أَنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ الأَوْلادَ مَا بَرِحُوا أَطْرِيَاءَ الْعُودِ، وَغَنَمِي وَبَقَرِي مُرْضِعَةٌ، فَإِنْ أَجْهَدْتُهَا يَوْماً وَاحِداً فَإِنَّ كُلَّ الْغَنَمِ تَمُوتُ. ١٣ 13
Jacob said to him, “My lord knows that the children are tender, and that the flocks and herds with me have their young, and if they overdrive them one day, all the flocks will die.
فَلْيَتَقَدَّمْ مَوْلايَ عَبْدَهُ، وَأَنَا أَسِيرُ مُتَمَهِّلاً فِي إِثْرِ الْمَاشِيَةِ الَّتِي أَمَامِي، وَفِي إِثْرِ الأَوْلادِ أَيْضاً، إِلَى أَنْ أُقْبِلَ عَلَى سَيِّدِي فِي سَعِيرَ». ١٤ 14
Please let my lord pass over before his servant, and I will lead on gently, according to the pace of the livestock that are before me and according to the pace of the children, until I come to my lord to Seir.”
فَقَالَ لَهُ عِيسُو: «إِذاً أَتْرُكُ مَعَكَ بَعْضَ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ مَعِي». فَأَجَابَهُ: «وَأَيُّ حَاجَةٍ لِذَلِكَ؟ إِنَّ كُلَّ مَا أَطْلُبُهُ هُوَ أَنْ أَحْظَى بِرِضَى سَيِّدِي». ١٥ 15
Esau said, “Let me now leave with you some of the people who are with me.” He said, “Why? Let me find favor in the sight of my lord.”
فَمَضَى عِيسُو فِي طَرِيقِهِ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ رَاجِعاً إِلَى سَعِيرَ. ١٦ 16
So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.
أَمَّا يَعْقُوبُ فَارْتَحَلَ إِلَى سُكُّوتَ، وَبَنَى لِنَفْسِهِ بَيْتاً وَصَنَعَ لِمَوَاشِيهِ مِظَلاتٍ. لِذَلِكَ دُعِيَ ذَلِكَ الْمَكَانُ بِاسْمِ سُكُّوتَ (وَمَعْنَاهُ: الْمِظَلاتُ). ١٧ 17
Jacob traveled to Succoth, built himself a house, and made shelters for his livestock. Therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.
ثُمَّ وَصَلَ يَعْقُوبُ سَالِماً مَدِينَةَ شَكِيمَ (وَهِيَ نَابُلْسُ) الَّتِي فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ، عَلَى طَرِيقِهِ الْمُؤَدِّيَةِ إِلَى سَهْلِ أَرَامَ، وَنَصَبَ خِيَامَهُ مُقَابِلَ الْمَدِينَةِ، ١٨ 18
Jacob came in peace to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Paddan Aram; and encamped before the city.
وَاشْتَرَى الأَرْضَ الَّتِي نَصَبَ عَلَيْهَا خَيْمَتَهُ، مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ حَمُورَ أَبِي شَكِيمَ بِمِئَةِ قِطْعَةٍ مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ. ١٩ 19
He bought the parcel of ground where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for one hundred pieces of money.
وَشَيَّدَ هُنَاكَ مَذْبَحاً دَعَاهُ إِيلَ (وَمَعْنَاهُ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ). ٢٠ 20
He erected an altar there, and called it El Elohe Israel.
