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 to Jacob, "Arise, go up to Bethel, and live there. Make an altar there to God, who appeared to you when you fled from your brother Esau."

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

Then Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, "Get rid of the foreign gods that you have among you, and purify yourselves and change your clothes.

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

Let us arise and go up to Bethel, and I will make an altar there to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and has been with me wherever I went."

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

So they gave to Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their possession, and the rings that were in their ears, and Jacob buried them under the oak that was near Shechem.

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

Then they set out, and a terror of God was upon the cities that were around them, so that they did not pursue 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 (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him.

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

He built an altar there, and called the place El Bethel, because there God had revealed himself to him when he was fleeing from his brother.

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

Now Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died, and she was buried under an oak outside Bethel. So he called its name Allon Bakuth.

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

And God appeared to Jacob again after he returned 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.

God said to him, "Your name is Jacob. Your name will no longer be called Jacob, but your name will be Israel." So 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 to him, "I am El Shaddai. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations will come from you, and kings will come from your body.

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

The land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give to you, and I will give the land to your descendants after you."

١٣ 13 ثُمَّ فَارَقَهُ اللهُ فِي الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي خَاطَبَهُ فِيهِ.

Then 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 standing-stone in the place where he spoke with him, a pillar of stone. And he poured out a drink offering on it, and poured oil on it.

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

Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him Bethel.

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

Then they set out from Bethel. There was still some distance to come to Ephrath, and Rachel went into labor, and her labor was difficult.

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

When she was in the difficult labor, the midwife said to her, "Do not be afraid, for now you have another son."

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

It happened, as her life was departing (for she died), that she named him Ben-Oni, but his father named him Benjamin.

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

So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).

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

Jacob set up a standing-stone on her grave. It is the standing-stone of Rachel's grave to this day.

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

And Israel traveled and pitched 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:

It happened, while Israel lived in that land, that Reuben went and slept with Bilhah, his father's secondary wife, and Israel heard about 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 firstborn, 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 servant: 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 servant: Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob who 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.

So Jacob came to Isaac his father at Mamre in Kiriath Arba (which is Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had sojourned.

٢٨ 28 وَعَاشَ إِسْحاقُ مِئَةً وَثَمَانِينَ سَنَةً،

Now the days of Isaac were one hundred eighty years.

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

And Isaac took his last breath and died, and was gathered to his people, old and full of days. And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
