تكوين 35

١ 1 ثُمَّ قَالَ اللهُ لِيَعْقُوبَ: «اصْعَدْ إِلَى بَيْتِ إِيلَ وَاسْكُنْ هُنَاكَ، وَشَيِّدْ مَذْبَحاً لِلهِ الَّذِي ظَهَرَ لَكَ عِنْدَمَا كُنْتَ هَارِباً مِنْ أَمَامِ أَخِيكَ عِيسُو».

And God said unto Jacob: 'Arise, go up to Beth-el, and dwell there; and make there an altar unto God, who appeared unto thee when thou didst flee from the face of Esau thy brother.'

٢ 2 فَأَمَرَ يَعْقُوبُ أَهْلَ بَيْتِهِ، وَكُلَّ مَنْ كَانَ مَعَهُ: «تَخَلَّصُوا مِنَ الآلِهَةِ الْغَرِيبَةِ الَّتِي بَيْنَكُمْ، وَتَطَهَّرُوا وَأَبْدِلُوا ثِيَابَكُمْ،

Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him: 'Put away the strange gods that are among you, and purify yourselves, and change your garments;

٣ 3 ثُمَّ تَعَالَوْا لِنَذْهَبَ إِلَى بَيْتِ إِيلَ لأُشَيِّدَ هُنَاكَ مَذْبَحاً لِلهِ الَّذِي اسْتَجَابَ لِي فِي يَوْمِ ضِيقَتِي، وَرَافَقَنِي فِي الطَّرِيقِ الَّتِي سَلَكْتُهَا».

and let us arise, and go up to Beth-el; and I will make there an altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went.'

٤ 4 فَسَلَّمُوا يَعْقُوبَ كُلَّ الآلِهَةِ الْغَرِيبَةِ الَّتِي كَانَتْ لَدَيْهِمْ وَالأَقْرَاطَ الَّتِي فِي آذَانِهِمْ، فَطَمَرَ هَا يَعْقُوبُ تَحْتَ الْبُطْمَةِ الَّتِي فِي شَكِيمَ.

And they gave unto Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their hand, and the rings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the terebinth which was by Shechem.

٥ 5 ثُمَّ ارْتَحَلُوا، فَهَيْمَنَ رُعْبُ اللهِ عَلَى الْمُدُنِ الَّتِي حَوْلَهُمْ، فَلَمْ يَسْعَوْا وَرَاءَهُمْ

And they journeyed; and a terror of God was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.

٦ 6 فَوَصَلَ يَعْقُوبُ وَجَمِيعُ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ مَعَهُ إِلَى لُوزَ فِي أَرْضِ الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ، وَهِيَ نَفْسُهَا بَيْتُ إِيلَ.

So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan — the same is Beth-el — he and all the people that were with him.

٧ 7 وَشَيَّدَ مَذْبَحاً هُنَاكَ، وَدَعَا الْمَكَانَ «بَيْتَ إِيلَ» لأَنَّ اللهَ تَجَلَّى لَهُ هُنَاكَ عِنْدَمَا كَانَ هَارِباً مِنْ أَمَامِ أَخِيهِ.

And he built there an altar, and called the place El-beth-el, because there God was revealed unto him, when he fled from the face of his brother.

٨ 8 وَمَاتَتْ هُنَاكَ دَبُورَةُ مُرْضِعَةُ رِفْقَةَ، فَدُفِنَتْ فِي مُنْخَفَضِ بَيْتِ إِيلَ تَحْتَ شَجَرَةِ الْبَلُّوطِ، وَسَمُّوهَا «أَلُّونَ بَاكُوتَ» (وَمَعْنَاهَا: بَلُّوطَةُ الْبُكَاءِ).

And Deborah Rebekah's nurse died, and she was buried below Beth-el under the oak; and the name of it was called Allon-bacuth.

٩ 9 وَظَهَرَ اللهُ لِيَعْقُوبَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى بَعْدَ رُجُوعِهِ مِنْ سَهْلِ أَرَامَ وَبَارَكَهُ،

And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came from Paddan-aram, and blessed him.

١٠ 10 وَقَالَ لَهُ: «لَنْ يُدْعَى اسْمُكَ يَعْقُوبَ فِي مَا بَعْدُ، بَلْ إِسْرَائِيلَ» (وَمَعْنَاهُ: يُجَاهِدُ مَعَ اللهِ). وَهَكَذَا سَمَّاهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

And God said unto him: 'Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name'; and He called his name Israel.

١١ 11 وَقَالَ اللهُ لَهُ: «أَنَا هُوَ اللهُ الْقَدِيرُ. أَثْمِرْ وَاكْثُرْ، فَيَكُونَ مِنْكَ أُمَّةٌ وَطَوَائِفُ أُمَمٍ، وَمِنْ صُلْبِكَ يَخْرُجُ مُلُوكٌ.

And God said unto him: 'I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins;

١٢ 12 وَالأَرْضُ الَّتِي وَهَبْتُهَا لإِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحاقَ أُعْطِيهَا لَكَ وَلِذُرِّيَّتِكَ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ أَيْضاً».

and the land which I gave unto Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land.'

١٣ 13 ثُمَّ فَارَقَهُ اللهُ فِي الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي خَاطَبَهُ فِيهِ.

And God went up from him in the place where He spoke with him.

١٤ 14 وَأَقَامَ يَعْقُوبُ عَمُوداً مِنْ حَجَرٍ فِي الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ فِيهِ مَعَهُ، وَسَكَبَ عَلَيْهِ سَكِيبَ قُرْبَانٍ وَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِ زَيْتاً أَيْضاً.

And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where He spoke with him, a pillar of stone, and he poured out a drink-offering thereon, and poured oil thereon.

١٥ 15 وَدَعَا اسْمَ الْمَكَانِ «بَيْتَ إِيلَ» (وَمَعْنَاهُ: بَيْتُ اللهِ) لأَنَّ اللهَ خَاطَبَهُ هُنَاكَ.

And Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him, Beth-el.

١٦ 16 ثُمَّ ارْتَحَلُوا مِنْ بَيْتِ إِيلَ. وَإِذْ كَانُوا بَعْدُ عَلَى مَسَافَةٍ مِنْ أَفْرَاتَةَ شَعَرَتْ رَاحِيلُ بِالْمَخَاضِ وَتَعَسَّرَتْ وِلادَتُهَا.

And they journeyed from Beth-el; and there was still some way to come to Ephrath; and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour.

١٧ 17 وَإِذْ كَانَتْ تُقَاسِي فِي وِلادَتِهَا قَالَتْ لَهَا الْقَابِلَةُ: «لا تَخَافِي، فَإِنَّ هَذَا أَيْضاً ابْنٌ آخَرُ لَكِ».

And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that the mid-wife said unto her: 'Fear not; for this also is a son for thee.'

١٨ 18 وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَتْ تَلْفِظُ أَنْفَاسَهَا عِنْدَ مَوْتِهَا دَعَتْهُ «بِنْ أُوْنِي» (وَمَعْنَاهُ: ابْنُ حُزْنِي) غَيْرَ أَنَّ أَبَاهُ دَعَاهُ «بِنْيَامِينَ» (وَمَعْنَاهُ: ابْنُ يَمِينِي).

And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing — for she died — that she called his name Ben-oni; but his father called him Benjamin.

١٩ 19 ثُمَّ مَاتَتْ رَاحِيلُ وَدُفِنَتْ فِي الطَّرِيقِ الْمُؤَدِّيَةِ إِلَى أَفْرَاتَةَ، أَيْ بَيْتِ لَحْمٍ.

And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath — the same is Beth-lehem.

٢٠ 20 وَأَقَامَ يَعْقُوبُ عَمُوداً عَلَى قَبْرِهَا، وَهُوَ الْمَعْرُوفُ بِعَمُودِ قَبْرِ رَاحِيلَ إِلَى الْيَوْمِ.

And Jacob set up a pillar upon her grave; the same is the pillar of Rachel's grave unto this day.

٢١ 21 وَتَابَعَ إِسْرَائِيلُ رَحِيلَهُ وَنَصَبَ خِيَامَهُ وَرَاءَ «بُرْجِ عِدْرٍ»

And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond Migdal-eder.

٢٢ 22 وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ إِسْرَائِيلُ يُقِيمُ فِي تِلْكَ الأَرْضِ مَضَى رَأُوبَيْنُ وَضَاجَعَ بِلْهَةَ سُرِّيَّةَ أَبِيهِ. وَعَرَفَ إِسْرَائِيلُ بِالأَمْرِ. وَهَؤُلاءِ هُمْ أَبْنَاءُ يَعْقُوبَ الاثْنَا عَشَرَ:

And it came to pass, while Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine; and Israel heard of it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve:

٢٣ 23 أَبْنَاءُ لَيْئَةَ: رَأُوبَيْنُ بِكْرُ يَعْقُوبَ، وَشِمْعُونُ وَلاوِي وَيَهُوذَا وَيَسَّاكَرُ وَزَبُولُونُ.

the sons of Leah: Reuben, Jacob's first-born, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun;

٢٤ 24 وَابْنَا رَاحِيلَ: يُوسُفُ وَبَنْيَامِينُ.

the sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin;

٢٥ 25 وَابْنَا بِلْهَةَ جَارِيَةِ رَاحِيلَ: دَانٌ وَنَفْتَالِي.

and the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid: Dan and Naphtali;

٢٦ 26 وَابْنَا زِلْفَةَ جَارِيَةِ لَيْئَةَ: جَادٌ وَأَشِيرُ. وَهَؤُلاءِ هُمْ أَوْلادُ يَعْقُوبَ الَّذِينَ وُلِدُوا لَهُ فِي سَهْلِ أَرَامَ.

and the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid: Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob, that were born to him in Paddan-aram.

٢٧ 27 وَقَدِمَ يَعْقُوبُ عَلَى إِسْحاقَ أَبِيهِ إِلَى مَمْرَا فِي قَرْيَةِ أَرْبَعَ الْمَعْرُوفَةِ بِحَبْرُونَ حَيْثُ تَغَرَّبَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَإِسْحاقُ.

And Jacob came unto Isaac his father to Mamre, to Kiriatharba — the same is Hebron — where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.

٢٨ 28 وَعَاشَ إِسْحاقُ مِئَةً وَثَمَانِينَ سَنَةً،

And the days of Isaac were a hundred and fourscore years.

٢٩ 29 ثُمَّ أَسْلَمَ رُوحَهُ وَلَحِقَ بِقَوْمِهِ شَيْخاً طَاعِناً فِي السِّنِّ وَدَفَنَهُ ابْنَاهُ عِيسُو وَيَعْقُوبُ.

And Isaac expired, and died, and was gathered unto his people, old and full of days; and Esau and Jacob his sons buried him.
