< Genesis 24 >

1 And Abraam was old, advanced in days, and the Lord blessed Abraam in all things.
وَشَاخَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَتَقَدَّمَ بِهِ الْعُمْرُ. وَبَارَكَ الرَّبُّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ.١
2 And Abraam said to his servant the elder of his house, who had rule over all his possessions, Put thy hand under my thigh,
وَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ لِرَئِيسِ عَبِيدِهِ، الْمُتَوَلِّي جَمِيعَ شُؤُونِ بَيْتِهِ: «ضَعْ يَدَكَ تَحْتَ فَخْذِي،٢
3 and I will adjure thee by the Lord the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou take not a wife for my son Isaac from the daughters of the Chananites, with whom I dwell, in the midst of them.
فَأَسْتَحْلِفَكَ بِالرَّبِّ إِلَهِ السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ أَنْ لَا تَأْخُذَ لابْنِي زَوْجَةً مِنْ بَنَاتِ الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ الَّذِيْنَ أَنَا مُقِيمٌ فِي وَسَطِهِمْ.٣
4 But thou shalt go instead to my country, where I was born, and to my tribe, and thou shalt take from thence a wife for my son Isaac.
بَلْ تَمْضِي إِلَى بَلَدِي وَإِلَى عَشِيرَتِي، وَتَأْخُذُ زَوْجَةً لابْنِي إِسْحاقَ».٤
5 And the servant said to him, Shall I carry back thy son to the land whence thou camest forth, if haply the woman should not be willing to return with me to this land?
فَقَالَ لَهُ الْعَبْدُ: «هَبْ أَنَّ الْمَرْأَةَ لَا تَشَاءُ أَنْ تَتْبَعَنِي إِلَى هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ، فَهَلْ أَرْجِعُ بِابْنِكَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي ارْتَحَلْتَ عَنْهَا؟».٥
6 And Abraam said to him, Take heed to thyself that thou carry not my son back thither.
فَأَجَابَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ: «إِيَّاكَ أَنْ تَرْجِعَ بِابْنِي إِلَى هُنَاكَ،٦
7 The Lord the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, who took me out of my father's house, and out of the land whence I sprang, who spoke to me, and who swore to me, saying, I will give this land to thee and to thy seed, he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife to my son from thence.
فَالرَّبُّ إِلَهُ السَّمَاءِ الَّذِي أَخَذَنِي مِنْ بَيْتِ أَبِي وَمِنْ أَرْضِ قَوْمِي، وَخَاطَبَنِي وَأَقْسَمَ لِي قَائِلاً: لِذُرِّيَّتِكَ أَهَبُ هَذِهِ الأَرْضَ، هُوَ يُرْسِلُ مَلاكَهُ أَمَامَكَ لِتَأْخُذَ زَوْجَةً لابْنِي مِنْ هُنَاكَ.٧
8 And if the woman should not be willing to come with thee into this land, thou shalt be clear from my oath, only carry not my son thither again.
إِنْ أَبَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ أَنْ تَتْبَعَكَ، تَكُونُ آنَئِذٍ فِي حِلٍّ مِنْ حَلْفِي هَذَا، أَمَّا ابْنِي فَإِيَّاكَ أَنْ تَرْجِعَ بِهِ إِلَى هُنَاكَ».٨
9 And the servant put his hand under the thigh of his master Abraam, and swore to him concerning this matter.
فَوَضَعَ الْعَبْدُ يَدَهُ تَحْتَ فَخْذِ سَيِّدِهِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَحَلَفَ لَهُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ.٩
10 And the servant took ten camels of his master's camels, and [he took] of all the goods of his master with him, and he arose and went into Mesopotamia to the city of Nachor.
وَاخْتَارَ الْعَبْدُ عَشَرَةَ جِمَالٍ وَحَمَّلَهَا مِنْ جَمِيعِ خَيْرَاتِ مَوْلاهُ الَّتِي فِي يَدِهِ، وَقَامَ وَانْطَلَقَ إِلَى أَرَامِ النَّهْرَيْنِ إِلَى مَدِينَةِ نَاحُورَ.١٠
11 And he rested his camels without the city by the well of water towards evening, when damsels go forth to draw water.
وَهُنَاكَ أَنَاخَ الْجِمَالَ خَارِجَ الْمَدِينَةِ عِنْدَ بِئْرِ الْمَاءِ وَقْتَ الْمَسَاءِ، فِي مَوْعِدِ خُرُوجِ الْمُسْتَقِيَاتِ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ،١١
12 And he said, O Lord God of my master Abraam, prosper my way before me to day, and deal mercifully with my master Abraam.
وَقَالَ: «أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهَ سَيِّدِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَتَوَسَّلُ إِلَيْكَ أَنْ تُيَسِّرَ أَمْرِي الْيَوْمَ وَتُسْدِيَ مَعْرُوفاً لِسَيِّدِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ.١٢
13 Lo! I stand by the well of water, and the daughters of them that inhabit the city come forth to draw water.
هَا أَنَا وَاقِفٌ عِنْدَ بِئْرِ الْمَاءِ حَيْثُ تُقْبِلُ بَنَاتُ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ١٣
14 And it shall be, the virgin to whomsoever I shall say, Incline thy water-pot, that I may drink, and she shall say, Drink thou, and I will give thy camels drink, until they shall have done drinking—even this one thou hast prepared for thy servant Isaac, and hereby shall I know that thou hast dealt mercifully with my master Abraam.
فَلْيَكُنْ أَنَّ الْفَتَاةَ الَّتِي أَقُولُ لَهَا: ضَعِي جَرَّتَكِ لأَشْرَبَ مِنْهَا، فَتُجِيبُ: اشْرَبْ وَأَنَا أَسْقِي جِمَالَكَ أَيْضاً، تَكُونُ هِيَ الَّتِي اخْتَرْتَهَا لِعَبْدِكَ إِسْحاقَ. وَبِذَلِكَ أُدْرِكُ أَنَّكَ أَسْدَيْتَ مَعْرُوفاً لِسَيِّدِي».١٤
15 And it came to pass before he had done speaking in his mind, that behold, Rebecca the daughter of Bathuel, the son of Melcha, the wife of Nachor, and [the same] the brother of Abraam, came forth, having a water-pot on her shoulders.
وَقَبْلَ أَنْ يُتِمَّ صَلاتَهُ إِذَا بِهِ يُشَاهِدُ رِفْقَةَ ابْنَةَ بَتُوئِيلَ ابْنِ مِلْكَةَ زَوْجَةِ نَاحُورَ أَخِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ مُقْبِلَةً، وَجَرَّتُهَا عَلَى كَتِفِهَا.١٥
16 And the virgin was very beautiful in appearance, she was a virgin, a man had not known her; and she went down to the well, and filled her water-pot, and came up.
وَكَانَتِ الْفَتَاةُ رَائِعَةَ الْجَمَالِ، عَذْرَاءَ لَمْ يَمَسَّهَا رَجُلٌ. فَنَزَلَتْ إِلَى الْعَيْنِ وَمَلأَتْ جَرَّتَهَا ثُمَّ صَعِدَتْ،١٦
17 And the servant ran up to meet her, and said, Give me a little water to drink out of thy pitcher;
فَرَكَضَ الْعَبْدُ لِلِقَائِهَا وَقَالَ: «أَرْجُوكِ، اسْقِينِي قَلِيلاً مِنْ مَاءِ جَرَّتِكِ».١٧
18 and she said, Drink, Sir; and she hasted, and let down the pitcher upon her arm, and gave him to drink, till he ceased drinking.
فَأَجَابَتِ الْفَتَاةُ: «اشْرَبْ يَا سَيِّدِي». وَأَسْرَعَتْ وَأَنْزَلَتْ جَرَّتَهَا عَلَى يَدِهَا وَسَقَتْهُ.١٨
19 And she said, I will also draw water for thy camels, till they shall all have drunk.
وَبَعْدَ أَنْ شَرِبَ قَالَتْ: «أَسْتَقِي لِجِمَالِكَ أَيْضاً حَتَّى تَرْتَوِيَ».١٩
20 And she hasted, and emptied the water-pot into the trough, and ran to the well to draw again, and drew water for all the camels.
وَمَضَتْ مُسْرِعَةً وَأَفْرَغَتْ جَرَّتَهَا فِي حَوْضِ الْمَاءِ، ثُمَّ رَكَضَتْ نَحْوَ الْبِئْرِ فَاسْتَقَتْ لِكُلِّ جِمَالِهِ.٢٠
21 And the man took great notice of her, and remained silent to know whether the Lord had made his way prosperous or not.
وَظَلَّ الرَّجُلُ يَتَأَمَّلُهَا صَامِتاً لِيَعْلَمَ إِنْ كَانَ الرَّبُّ قَدْ وَفَّقَ مَسْعَاهُ أَمْ لا.٢١
22 And it came to pass when all the camels ceased drinking, that the man took golden ear-rings, each of a drachm weight, and he [put] two bracelets on her hands, their weight was ten pieces of gold.
وَعِنْدَمَا ارْتَوَتِ الْجِمَالُ تَنَاوَلَ الرَّجُلُ خِزَامَةً ذَهَبِيَّةً وَزْنُهَا نِصْفُ شَاقِلٍ (نَحْوَ سِتَّةِ جِرَامَاتٍ) وَسُوَارَيْنِ ذَهَبِيَّيْنِ وَزْنُهُمَا عَشَرَةُ شَواقِلَ (نَحْوَ مِئَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ جِرَاماً)،٢٢
23 And he asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? Tell me if there is room for us to lodge with thy father.
وَسَأَلَهَا: «ابْنَةُ مَنْ أَنْتِ؟ أَخْبِرِينِي: هَلْ فِي بَيْتِ أَبِيكِ مَوْضِعٌ نَبِيتُ فِيهِ؟»٢٣
24 And she said to him, I am the daughter of Bathuel the son of Melcha, whom she bore to Nachor.
فَأَجَابَتْهُ: «أَنَا ابْنَةُ بَتُوئِيلَ ابْنِ مِلْكَةَ الَّذِي أَنْجَبَتْهُ لِنَاحُورَ،٢٤
25 And she said to him, We have both straw and much provender, and a place for resting.
عِنْدَنَا كَثِيرٌ مِنَ التِّبْنِ وَالْعَلَفِ، وَمَكَانٌ لِتَبِيتُوا فِيهِ».٢٥
26 And the man being well pleased, worshipped the Lord,
فَأَطْرَقَ الرَّجُلُ بِرَأْسِهِ وَسَجَدَ لِلرَّبِّ مُصَلِّياً:٢٦
27 and said, Blessed be the Lord the God of my master Abraam, who has not suffered his righteousness to fail, nor his truth from my master, and the Lord has brought me prosperously to the house of the brother of my lord.
«تَبَارَكَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ سَيِّدِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ الَّذِي لَمْ يَتَخَلَّ عَنْ لُطْفِهِ وَوَفَائِهِ لِسَيِّدِي. أَمَّا أَنَا فَقَدْ هَدَانِي الرَّبُّ فِي الطَّرِيقِ إِلَى بَيْتِ إِخْوَةِ سَيِّدِي».٢٧
28 And the damsel ran and reported to the house of her mother according to these words.
فَهُرِعَتِ الْفَتَاةُ وَأَخْبَرَتْ بَيْتَ أُمِّهَا بِهَذِهِ الأُمُورِ.٢٨
29 And Rebecca had a brother whose name was Laban; and Laban ran out to meet the man, to the well.
وَكَانَ لِرِفْقَةَ أَخٌ يُدْعَى لابَانَ، فَأَسْرَعَ نَحْوَ الرَّجُلِ عِنْدَ بِئْرِ الْمَاءِ،٢٩
30 And it came to pass when he saw the ear-rings and the bracelets on the hands of his sister, and when he heard the words of Rebecca his sister, saying, Thus the man spoke to me, that he went to the man, as he stood by the camels at the well.
إِذْ كَانَ قَدْ رَأَى الْخِزَامَةَ وَالسِّوَارَيْنِ عَلَى يَدَيْ أُخْتِهِ، وَسَمِعَ حَدِيثَهَا عَنِ الرَّجُلِ؛ فَوَجَدَهُ وَاقِفاً بِالْقُرْبِ مِنَ الْجِمَالِ عِنْدَ الْمَاءِ،٣٠
31 And he said to him, Come in hither, thou blessed of the Lord, why standest thou without, whereas I have prepared the house and a place for the camels?
فَقَالَ: «ادْخُلْ أَيُّهَا الْمُبَارَكُ مِنَ الرَّبِّ، لِمَاذَا تَقِفُ خَارِجاً؟ لَقَدْ أَعْدَدْتُ الْبَيْتَ وَكَذَلِكَ مَكَاناً لِلْجِمَالِ».٣١
32 And the man entered into the house, and unloaded the camels, and gave the camels straw and provender, and water to wash his feet, and the feet of the men that were with him.
فَدَخَلَ الرَّجُلُ إِلَى الْمَنْزِلِ، وَحَلَّ عَنِ الْجِمَالِ، وَقَدَّمَ لَهَا تِبْناً وَعَلَفاً، وَأَتَى لابَانُ بِمَاءٍ لِغَسْلِ رِجْلَيْهِ وَأَرْجُلِ مُرَافِقِيهِ.٣٢
33 And he set before them loaves to eat; but he said, I will not eat, until I have told my errand. And he said, Speak on.
ثُمَّ وَضَعَ الطَّعَامَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ لِيَأْكُلَ. لَكِنَّهُ قَالَ: «لَنْ آكُلَ حَتَّى أُخْبِرَكُمْ بِمَا يَجِبُ أَنْ أَقُولَهُ». فَقَالَ لَهُ: «تَكَلَّمْ».٣٣
34 And he said, I am a servant of Abraam;
فَقَالَ: «أَنَا عَبْدُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ،٣٤
35 and the Lord has blessed my master greatly, and he is exalted, and he has given him sheep, and calves, and silver, and gold, servants and servant-maids, camels, and asses.
وَقَدْ أَغْدَقَ الرَّبُّ عَلَى مَوْلايَ بَرَكَاتٍ جَمَّةً فَصَارَ عَظِيماً، إِذْ أَنْعَمَ عَلَيْهِ بِغَنَمٍ وَبَقَرٍ وَفِضَّةٍ وَذَهَبٍ وَعَبِيدٍ وَإِمَاءٍ وَجِمَالٍ وَحَمِيرٍ.٣٥
36 And Sarrha my master's wife bore one son to my master after he had grown old; and he gave him whatever he had.
وَأَنْجَبَتْ سَارَةُ امْرَأَةُ سَيِّدِي بَعْدَ أَنْ شَاخَتِ ابْناً لِسَيِّدِي أَوْرَثَهُ كُلَّ مَالَهُ٣٦
37 And my master caused me to swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Chananites, among whom I sojourn in their land.
وَقَدِ اسْتَحْلَفَنِي سَيِّدِي أَلّا آخُذَ زَوْجَةً لابْنِهِ مِنْ بَنَاتِ الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ يَسْكُنُ أَرْضَهُمْ،٣٧
38 But thou shalt go to the house of my father, and to my tribe, and thou shalt take thence a wife for my son.
بَلْ أَذْهَبُ إِلَى بَيْتِ أَبِيهِ وَعَشِيرَتِهِ وَآخُذُ لابْنِهِ مِنْهُمْ زَوْجَةً.٣٨
39 And I said to my master, Haply the woman will not go with me.
فَقُلْتُ لِسَيِّدِي: قَدْ تَأْبَى الْفَتَاةُ أَنْ تَتْبَعَنِي إِلَى هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ.٣٩
40 And he said to me, The Lord God to whom I have been acceptable in his presence, himself shall send out his angel with thee, and shall prosper thy journey, and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my tribe, and of the house of my father.
فَأَجَابَنِي: إِنَّ الرَّبَّ الَّذِي سَلَكْتُ أَمَامَهُ، هُوَ يُرْسِلُ مَلاكَهُ مَعَكَ وَيُوَفِّقُ مَسْعَاكَ فَتَأْخُذُ لابْنِي زَوْجَةً مِنْ عَشِيرَتِي وَمِنْ بَيْتِ أَبِي.٤٠
41 Then shalt thou be clear from my curse, for whensoever thou shalt have come to my tribe, and they shall not give her to thee, then shalt thou be clear from my oath.
وَإذَا قَدِمْتَ عَلَى قَوْمِي وَرَفَضُوا أَنْ يُعْطُوكَ إِيَّاهَا تَكُونُ آنَئِذٍ فِي حِلٍّ مِنْ حَلْفِي.٤١
42 And having come this day to the well, I said, Lord God of my master Abraam, if thou prosperest my journey on which I am now going,
فَأَقْبَلْتُ الْيَوْمَ عَلَى الْعَيْنِ وَقُلْتُ: أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ، إِلَهَ سَيِّدِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ. أَرْجُوكَ أَنْ تُوَفِّقَ مَسْعَايَ الَّذِي مِنْ أَجْلِهِ قُمْتُ بِهَذِهِ الرِّحْلَةِ.٤٢
43 behold, I stand by the well of water, and the daughters of the men of the city come forth to draw water, and it shall be [that] the damsel to whom I shall say, Give me a little water to drink out of thy pitcher,
هَا أَنَا وَاقِفٌ عِنْدَ بِئْرِ الْمَاءِ، فَلْيَكُنْ أَنَّ الْفَتَاةَ الَّتِي تَأْتِي لِتَسْتَقِيَ، وَالَّتِي أَطْلُبُ مِنْهَا أَنْ تَسْقِيَنِي بَعْضَ الْمَاءِ،٤٣
44 and she shall say to me, Both drink thou, and I will draw water for thy camels, this [shall be] the wife whom the Lord has prepared for his own servant Isaac; and hereby shall I know that thou hast wrought mercy with my master Abraam.
فَتَقُولُ لِي: اشْرَبْ أَنْتَ، وَأَنَا أَسْتَقِي لِجِمَالِكَ أَيْضاً، تَكُونُ هِيَ الْفَتَاةَ الَّتِي عَيَّنَهَا الرَّبُّ لابْنِ سَيِّدِي.٤٤
45 And it came to pass before I had done speaking in my mind, straightway Rebecca came forth, having her pitcher on her shoulders; and she went down to the well, and drew water; and I said to her, Give me to drink.
وَبَيْنَمَا كُنْتُ أُنَاجِي نَفْسِي بِهَذَا الْكَلامِ، إِذَا رِفْقَةُ قَادِمَةٌ، حَامِلَةً جَرَّةً عَلَى كَتِفِهَا، فَنَزَلَتْ إِلَى الْعَيْنِ وَاسْتَقَتْ، فَقُلْتُ لَهَا: أَرْجُوكِ أَنْ تَسْقِينِي٤٥
46 And she hasted and let down her pitcher on her arm from her head, and said, Drink thou, and I will give thy camels drink; and I drank, and she gave the camels drink.
فَأَسْرَعَتْ وَوَضَعَتْ جَرَّتَهَا عَنْهَا قَائِلَةً: اشْرَبْ وَأَنَا أَسْقِي جِمَالَكَ أَيْضاً.٤٦
47 And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me; and she said, I am daughter of Bathuel the son of Nachor, whom Melcha bore to him; and I put on her the ear-rings, and the bracelets on her hands.
ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُهَا: ابْنَةُ مَنْ أَنْتِ؟ فَأَجَابَتْ: ابْنَةُ بَتُوئِيلَ بْنِ نَاحُورَ الَّذِي أَنْجَبَتْهُ مِلْكَةُ لَهُ. فَوَضَعْتُ الْخِزَامَةَ فِي أَنْفِهَا وَالسِّوَارَيْنِ عَلَى يَدَيْهَا.٤٧
48 And being well-pleased I worshipped the Lord, and I blessed the Lord the God of my master Abraam, who has prospered me in a true way, so that I should take the daughter of my master's brother for his son.
ثُمَّ خَرَرْتُ وَسَجَدْتُ وَبَارَكْتُ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَ مَوْلايَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الَّذِي هَدَانِي فِي الطَّرِيقِ الْقَوِيمِ لِآخُذَ ابْنَةَ أَخِي سَيِّدِي لابْنِهِ.٤٨
49 If then ye [will] deal mercifully and justly with my lord, [tell me], and if not, tell me, that I may turn to the right hand or to the left.
وَالآنَ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُبْدُونَ لُطْفاً وَأَمَانَةً لِسَيِّدِي فَأَجِيبُوا طَلَبِي، وَإلَّا فَأَخْبِرُونِي لأَتَّجِهَ يَمِيناً أَوْ شِمَالاً».٤٩
50 And Laban and Bathuel answered and said, This matter has come forth from the Lord, we shall not be able to answer thee bad or good.
فَأَجَابَ لابَانُ وَبَتُوئِيلُ: «قَدْ صَدَرَ هَذَا الأَمْرُ مِنَ الرَّبِّ، وَلا نَقْدِرُ أَنْ نَقُولَ لَكَ خَيْراً أَوْ شَرّاً.٥٠
51 Behold, Rebecca is before thee, take her and go away, and let her be wife to the son of thy master, as the Lord has said.
هَا هِيَ رِفْقَةُ أَمَامَكَ، خُذْهَا وَامْضِ. لِتَكُنْ لابْنِ سَيِّدِكَ كَمَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ».٥١
52 And it came to pass when the servant of Abraam heard these words, he bowed himself to the Lord down to the earth.
فَمَا إِنْ سَمِعَ عَبْدُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ كَلامَهُمْ حَتَّى خَرَّ عَلَى الأَرْضِ سَاجِداً لِلرَّبِّ،٥٢
53 And the servant having brought forth jewels of silver and gold and raiment, gave them to Rebecca, and gave gifts to her brother, and to her mother.
ثُمَّ أَخْرَجَ جَوَاهِرَ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَمِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَثِيَاباً وَأَعْطَاهَا لِرِفْقَةَ، وَأَهْدَى أَيْضاً أَخَاهَا وَأُمَّهَا تُحَفاً٥٣
54 And both he and the men with him ate and drank and went to sleep. And he arose in the morning and said, Send me away, that I may go to my master.
وَأَكَلَ وَشَرِبَ هُوَ وَرِجَالُهُ، وَقَضَوْا لَيْلَتَهُمْ هُنَاكَ. وَعِنْدَمَا اسْتَيْقَظُوا فِي الصَّبَاحِ قَالَ: «أَطْلِقُونِي لأَعُودَ إِلَى سَيِّدِي».٥٤
55 And her brethren and her mother said, Let the virgin remain with us about ten days, and after that she shall depart.
فَأَجَابَ أَخُوهَا وَأُمُّهَا: «دَعِ الْفَتَاةَ تَمْكُثُ مَعْنَا عَشَرَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ نَحْوَهَا، ثُمَّ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ تَنْطَلِقُ».٥٥
56 But he said to them, Hinder me not, for the Lord has prospered my journey for me; send me away, that I may depart to my master.
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لا تُعِيقُونِي فَالرَّبُّ وَفَّقَ مَسْعَايَ، أَطْلِقُونِي لأَمْضِيَ إِلَى سَيِّدِي».٥٦
57 And they said, Let us call the damsel, and enquire at her mouth.
فَقَالا: «نَدْعُو الْفَتَاةَ وَنَسْأَلُهَا رَأْيَهَا».٥٧
58 And they called Rebecca, and said to her, Wilt thou go with this man? and she said, I will go.
فَدَعَيَا رِفْقَةَ وَسَأَلاهَا: «أَتَذْهَبِينَ مَعَ هَذَا الرَّجُلِ؟» فَأَجَابَتْ: «أَذْهَبُ».٥٨
59 So they sent forth Rebecca their sister, and her goods, and the servant of Abraam, and his attendants.
فَصَرَفُوا رِفْقَةَ أُخْتَهُمْ وَمَعَهَا مُرَبِّيَتَهَا وَعَبْدَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَرِجَالَهُ،٥٩
60 And they blessed Rebecca, and said to her, Thou art our sister; become thou thousands of myriads, and let thy seed possess the cities of their enemies.
وَبَارَكُوا رِفْقَةَ قَائِلِينَ لَهَا: «أَنْتِ أُخْتُنَا، فَلْتَتَكَاثَرِي لِتَصِيرِي أُلُوفَ أُلُوفٍ وَلْتَرِثْ ذُرِّيَّتُكِ مُدُنَ مُبْغِضِيهَا».٦٠
61 And Rebecca rose up and her maidens, and they mounted the camels and went with the man; and the servant having taken up Rebecca, departed.
فَنَهَضَتْ رِفْقَةُ وَفَتَيَاتُهَا وَرَكِبْنَ الْجِمَالَ وَتَبِعْنَ الرَّجُلَ. فَانْطَلَقَ الْعَبْدُ بِرِفْقَةَ وَمَضَى فِي طَرِيقِهِ.٦١
62 And Isaac went through the wilderness to the well of the vision, and he dwelt in the land toward the south.
وَكَانَ إِسْحاقُ الْمُقِيمُ آنَئِذٍ فِي النَّقَبِ قَدْ عَادَ مِنْ طَرِيقِ بِئْرِ «لَحَيْ رُئِي».٦٢
63 And Isaac went forth into the plain toward evening to meditate; and having lifted up his eyes, he saw camels coming.
فَخَرَجَ عِنْدَ الْمَسَاءِ إِلَى الْحَقْلِ مُتَأَمِّلًا، وَإِذْ تَطَلَّعَ حَوْلَهُ شَاهَدَ جِمَالاً مُقْبِلَةً،٦٣
64 And Rebecca lifted up her eyes, and saw Isaac; and she alighted briskly from the camel,
وَرَفَعَتْ رِفْقَةُ كَذَلِكَ عَيْنَيْهَا وَرَأَتْ إِسْحاقَ فَتَرَجَّلَتْ عَنِ الْجَمَلِ،٦٤
65 and said to the servant, Who is that man that walks in the plain to meet us? And the servant said, This is my master; and she took her veil and covered herself.
وَسَأَلَتِ الْعَبْدَ: «مَنْ هَذَا الرَّجُلُ الْمَاشِي فِي الْحَقْلِ لِلِقَائِنَا؟» فَقَالَ الْعَبْدُ: «هُوَ سَيِّدِي». فَتَنَاوَلَتِ الْحِجَابَ وَتَغَطَّتْ.٦٥
66 And the servant told Isaac all that he had done.
ثُمَّ حَدَّثَ الْعَبْدُ إِسْحاقَ بِكُلِّ الأُمُورِ الَّتِي قَامَ بِها.٦٦
67 And Isaac went into the house of his mother, and took Rebecca, and she became his wife, and he loved her; and Isaac was comforted for Sarrha his mother.
فَأَدْخَلَ إِسْحاقُ رِفْقَةَ إِلَى خَيْمَةِ أُمِّهِ سَارَةَ، وَتَزَوَّجَهَا وَأَحَبَّهَا وَتَعَزَّى بِها بَعْدَ مَوْتِ أُمِّهِ.٦٧
